Chapter 639: Night Battle (4)

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

In the Monsanchu camp, the sound of warning drums began to resound throughout the barracks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking that those Chu army soldiers in the barracks were not fools, how could they not guess that the barracks had been attacked by the enemy when they saw the fire in their own camp.

But the question is, where are the enemy troops?

Countless soldiers of the Chu army came to the place where the fire was raging with weapons in their hands, and looked around, however, they did not see any enemy troops, but some Tongze, who had arrived one step earlier, were fighting the fire with rags that they got out of nowhere, but instead of extinguishing the fire, the rags caught fire first, and the broken flames were thrown everywhere.

"Stop! Stop it! You idiots! ”

A thousand generals of the Chu army couldn't help it, roared and rushed forward, snatched the rag from the hand of a soldier, threw it on the ground, strove to extinguish it with his feet, and then scolded the soldier with his head and face: "Are you extinguishing the fire or adding fuel to the fire?" ”

The soldier timidly glanced at the thousand generals in front of him, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Of course, as for what this soldier is deep down, it is unknown, because this soldier is the leader of the Green Crows, Duan Pei, is pretending.

To be precise, the "idiots" who clumsily put out fires around here are actually pretended to be by the crows.

"Damn!"

The thousand-strong general of the Chu army cursed, and then asked angrily, "What about the enemy?" ”

Duan Pei deliberately pretended to be afraid, and said in the dialect of Pingyu County of Chu State: "No...... I don't know, when we came, we ...... That's it. ”

He said very vaguely, after all, although Yangxia was not far from Pingyu County, so he had the opportunity to learn a few dialects of Chu in the past, but in the final analysis, he did not dare to guarantee whether these dialects spoken by the Zhengjun of Chu were different from what he knew.

Therefore, he deliberately feigned fear and stammered to minimize the possibility of his accent being exposed.

Fortunately, the thousand-person general of the Chu army was in a hurry at the moment because he didn't know who had set fire to his own military camp, and he didn't have the leisure to recognize Duan Pei's accent, and after hearing the latter's words, he immediately scolded: "A bunch of waste! …… Or do you want to find it?! ”

This person's last sentence was not only said to Duan Pei, but also to all the Chu soldiers in the vicinity, including the Chu soldiers pretended to be by the more than 100 green crows.

This is simply a dozing pillow, Duan Pei was secretly happy in his heart, and he retreated resignedly.

The Chu soldiers pretending to be the green crows immediately split up, and on the surface it seemed that they were running back and forth to warn, but in fact, they took advantage of no one to pay attention from time to time, and set fires along the way, so that the Chu soldiers of the entire Chu camp searched everywhere and put out fires everywhere, but instead of finding the attacker and not extinguishing the fire in the camp, the fire in the camp became more serious.

At the same time, in the northwest of the Chu camp, that is, in the direction where Duan Pei and others sneaked into the Chu camp, Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, and Zhai Huang, the deputy general, were standing in the mountains and forests, watching the fire in the Chu camp.

"Duan Pei, those people have succeeded." Wu Ji muttered.

Immediately, he couldn't help but praise: "It's incredible, the crows are ......."

It's no wonder that he is so praised, after all, if it were him with more than 100 merchant and water troops, he would definitely not be able to do this.

And the veteran Zhai Huang, who was older than Wu Ji in the last round, didn't think so, and analyzed very calmly and rationally: "At present, the Chu soldiers are in chaos, so they were fooled by Duan Pei's people, but I believe that as long as it takes a while, the Chu soldiers in the camp will notice that something is wrong, and at that time, those green crows will be unable to fly...... After all, the hidden thieves are just hidden thieves, and the sneak attack is okay, but after all, they can't replace our soldiers. ”

Wu Ji smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "That's why, I have to help them." …… Vice General Zhai (Huang), I'll leave it to you here. ”

"Yes!" Zhai Huang hugged his fists, then picked up his weapon and shouted: "Kill!" ”

As soon as the words fell, countless Shangshui soldiers rushed out of the forest, attacking the direction of Chu Ying under the command of Zhai Huang.

It is undeniable that in this battle, the green crows are the key, and the Shang Shui Army has temporarily been reduced to the role of a supporter, but neither Wu Ji nor Zhai Huang took the green crows seriously.

To be exact, they were not worried that the Crows would affect their status as a merchant army.

The reason is very simple, it is undeniable that the Crows are powerful and can do what they can't do with the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army, but the problem is that the Hidden Thieves are not suitable for going head-to-head with the enemy, unless the other party is still a team similar to the Hidden Thieves.

Because of some kind of restriction, the Crows and other hidden thieves will not wear too heavy armor, after all, it will affect their speed, and this will cause this class to have almost no defense, even the most ordinary bow and crossbow can easily shoot through their weak armor.

A hundred Ravens might be able to assassinate a hundred of the Ravens without the latter's defense, but if they were to go head-to-head, the Merchant Soldiers would easily be able to kill the same number of Ravens because of their sturdy armor that the Ravens' short daggers could not penetrate.

Because of this, even if the Shang Shui Army attacked the Crows this time, the generals of the Shang Shui Army did not think that the latter would become their competitors, after all, the two were not at the same level at all.

The only competitor of the merchant water army is Yan Lingjun!

This battle must be fought well......

Seeing the deputy general Zhai Huang leading his soldiers to attack the Mengshan Chu camp, Wu Ji, the commander of the Shang Water Army, went down the mountain along the way he came.

Yes, his mission was not to attack the Monsanchu camp.

To be precise, the task of his merchant army is not the military camp not far away.

The target given to them by Zhao Hongrun was Nangong Jue and Nangong Bad Xiangcheng Chu Army from the very beginning!

However, it is undeniable that Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, led the soldiers of the Shangshui Army to attack Mengshan, which caused great panic among the Chu troops in the Chu camp of Mengshan.

Because Chu General Dou Lian transferred most of the troops in the barracks to attack the Fencheng army at the foot of the mountain, the troops in the Mengshan barracks at this moment were not enough to defend at all.

Therefore, Mengshan Chuying hurriedly sent people to ask for help from the main general Dou Lian.

It didn't take long for this warning message to reach the ears of General Chu Doulian.

At this time, Dou Lian and the Fencheng army were fighting at night, killing each other's eyes red, and suddenly heard that the Mengshan military camp in the rear was attacked, and Dou Lian was immediately stunned.

How...... How can it be?

Dou Lian couldn't believe it, because of the three forces of the Wei army, the Fen army was fighting against him, and the Yan Ling army was attacking the two brothers Nangong Jue and Nangong Huai, where else was there any other Wei army nearby?

A moment later, a hint of horror appeared on Dou Lian's face.

Merchant Sailors? Could it be a merchant army?! …… However, why is the merchant army here? Could it be that Nangong Yang of Longji Mountain didn't intercept that Wei army?

For a while, Dou Lian faintly felt a tingling feeling on his scalp.

At first, he didn't want to believe that the fire on Longji Mountain was caused by Wei Jun, but at this moment, all the mysteries were solved: Wei Jun had already seen through his intentions!

This...... What to do?

Dou Lian couldn't help but be a little at a loss, after all, he was fighting with the Fencheng army at the moment, and retreating back to the Mengshan military camp at this moment would undoubtedly suffer a defeat.

But the problem is that the Mengshan military camp can't help it, it is not only a strategic place to encircle and annihilate the Wei army, but also a favorable stronghold for Xiangcheng, once Mengshan is lost, then Xiangcheng's situation is obviously much more difficult.

"How's Monsanto doing at the moment?" Dou Lian glared and questioned the Chu soldier who came to report the news.

I saw that the Chu soldier said eagerly: "I don't know how many enemy troops attacked the barracks, and the barracks seem to have been mixed with enemy spies, harassing and setting fire everywhere, and at this moment the barracks is in chaos......

Dou Lian subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard this, and after several struggles, he gritted his teeth and ordered the deputy general Zhang Ji: "Withdraw!" Withdraw Monsan! ”

"Yes, yes!"

When the deputy general Zhang Ji heard that Mengshan was attacked at this moment, he was also panicked, and hurriedly nodded and arranged to go.

It didn't take long for the Mengshan Chu army to retreat on all fronts, which aroused the vigilance of Chu Xuan, the general of the Eastern Guard Battalion of the Fencheng Army.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Xuan came to the Chinese military tent, Xu Yin was standing outside the tent, looking at the direction of Mengshan with his hands behind his back and a smile.

"General."

Chu Xuan said hello with a surprised face.

"It's Chu Xuan." Xu Yin turned his head to take a look, and said with a smile: "Xu estimated before, you should almost send someone here...... Unexpectedly, you came in person. ”

Chu Xuan was stunned, and said with a puzzled face: "The general doesn't understand what the general said. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't Dou Lian withdraw his troops?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and he asked in surprise, "How did the general know?" ”

At this time, I saw Xu Yin pouting in the direction of Mengshan, and said with a smile: "Look at Mengshan." ”

Chu Xuan turned his head to take a look, and was surprised to find that the Mengshan Chu camp was on fire at some point.

He was surprised and asked, "The general sent people to attack the Mengshan Chu camp?" ”

"I didn't." Xu Yin shook his head.

Chu Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he said in surprise: "Could it be the merchant army led by His Royal Highness King Su?" ”

"Huh." Xu Yin stroked his beard, nodded and muttered, "Xu guessed that His Highness wouldn't be so peaceful, isn't that ...... What a great young man, that Chu general Dou Lian thought that he could calculate my Wei army, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Su, that Dou Lian's intention was just a joke......

Chu Xuan quietly listened to Xu Yin's praise of Zhao Hongrun, and then said with great interest: "General, then let's also attack Mengshan and help His Royal Highness King Su!" ”

"Storming Monsan?" Xu Yin turned his head to look at Chu Xuan, shook his head and said, "No, next, our army is going to besiege the Xiangcheng Chu army of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai!" ”

"General, you ......" Chu Xuan looked at Xu Yin with some incredulity.

As if he had guessed Chu Xuan's thoughts, Xu Yin Zhengse said: "Even we know that Mengshan is not easy to fight, will His Royal Highness King Su not know?" …… There is only one entrance and exit of the Mengshan Chu camp, and if His Royal Highness King Su really wants to storm Mengshan, he should not attack the northwest of Mengshan and ignore the east side. …… He deliberately let Dou Lian go back to the camp to ask for help, in other words, the intention of His Royal Highness King Su was not the Mengshan Chu camp at all, so it was most likely that it was the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu army in the south of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai......"

Speaking of this, Xu Yin raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Xu has ordered General Qu Cheng of the Yanling Army, ordering him to go south from a detour to outflank Nangong Jue and Nangong Huai, if nothing goes wrong, the Shangshui Army should be killed from the northwest, and at that time, the three armies of my Fencheng Army, Yanling Army, and Shangshui Army can surround the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu Army......

He clenched his fists sharply.

"Flank from three sides and annihilate this army!" (To be continued.) )
