Chapter 202: Night Attack (Part II)
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the camp, except for the occasional group or two of sergeants patrolling the camp with torches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info But these sergeants also have a bitter face in the cold wind.
Night patrols have always been a chore, on the one hand, it is a problem of sleepiness, and on the other hand, it is windy in the middle of the night, which is definitely a torment. And I'm afraid that tomorrow I will have to fight a bloody battle with the enemy army on the opposite side, is it possible that they can still sleep in the camp?
Far from the camp, a group of yellow turbans lurked behind the hills.
Xu He was lying on the top of the hill, the weeds under his palms were a little moist and a little slippery, but Xu He didn't have time to take care of these at all, just stared at the continuous Beihai camp in the distance, his eyes didn't blink, like a lurking beast, just waiting for the best time to pounce on his locked prey.
"What about the scouts sent out? Is there any message coming back? Tilting his head sideways, Xu He asked.
"Not yet, but don't worry, I believe that it won't be long before the brother who went out to investigate the situation will be able to return..."
This person's surname is Zhang Minghe, and from a certain point of view, he is even a distant relative of Zhang Jiao. In addition, this person also has some courage, and he also has some status and qualifications in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, so he is a talkative person.
In the previous fight, many brave generals died under Xu He's men, and more than 100 people were killed in the later bloody battles. Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, and Xu He also brought him out.
"Hmm..."Staring at the camp in the distance, maybe it was too quiet, Xu He always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Fortunately, at this moment, there was a low sound in the distance. "Dashuai, the brother who went out to inquire about the news has returned..."As he was talking, he saw a young man with a yellow scarf on his head running from a distance, wearing thin clothes and a pair of straw sandals under his feet. If it weren't for the fact that he was still carrying a big knife in his hand, and there were many scars on his face and arms that had not yet healed, I am afraid that no one would believe that such a young man was actually a yellow scarf.
Walking quickly in front of Xu He, the young man had already reported.
"Dashuai, the news has been investigated."
"How?" Xu He hurriedly asked. "What is the situation in the enemy camp, and what ambush is there?"
The young man wiped the seawater from his forehead and hurriedly reported it. "Marshal, when I went to investigate with a few brothers, I saw that there were many soldiers in charge of patrolling in the camp, and the defense was very tight."
As for the others, in order to avoid being discovered by the person opposite, he didn't go too deep. After all, the other side is not blind, if it is really too close, it is impossible not to react at all. Even so, he got a lot of useful information.
It is not surprising that such a large camp cannot be hidden no matter what, and the most important thing is that the sergeants patrolling the camp have torches in their hands.
In the middle of the night, it is far easier to find someone else with a flashlight than to be searched for in the middle of the night. The same is true now, the sergeants are carrying a torch in their hands, and they can see it clearly even from a distance of a mile. Some of the news is really not hard to see.
But the most important thing at the moment is not this, but the attack on the camp...
"Dashuai, since this Yan Shao is so well guarded, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to attack it..."Zhang He listened to the young man's words, a little worried.
"Otherwise..."Hearing this, Aize next to him chuckled. If this is a sparse defense, it is really necessary to evacuate early. Now this just proves that the other party did not count us to come, so this is the best time to attack the camp. β
If there was no defense in the camp at all, it would almost be clear to tell the other party that there were traps here, but now there should be all of them, and there are even a few more, which from a certain point of view also shows that Yan Shao did not count them coming.
When Xu He heard this, he also bowed slightly, feeling that this was very reasonable.
The most important thing is that he can't easily retreat now. If I retire, what will happen tomorrow?
He can't lead the brothers to fight a bloody battle with Yan Shao again, the whole army knows about this night attack, if he can't give an explanation to the brothers in the army, I'm afraid...
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Hearing that Ai Ze's words, Zhang He from before also bowed slightly.
"In this way, there seems to be some truth, that is, Dashuai, I will send troops later, and it will change later."
Looking at the silent camp in the distance, Xu He still felt that something was wrong in his heart, but it was difficult to ride a tiger right now, so he gritted his teeth and finally spoke. "Tell all the brothers, in a quarter of an hour, I will wait for the army to attack the camp!"
"No!"
When they were ordered, the two men immediately went down and prepared. This time, Xu He brought the most elite soldiers and horses under his command, not only with high martial arts, but more importantly, without night blindness.
As I said before, because of malnutrition and lack of vitamin intake, most people in this era suffer from night blindness, and basically become blind in the middle of the night. This is also why ancient night raids were always easy to succeed and the effect was so goodββββββ when it was not clear who was around them, people usually liked to swing their knives at the shadows around them.
If those shadows are enemies, of course, it is easy to say anything, but unfortunately these shadows usually belong to their own people, which is why the consequences of bombing the camp are so serious.
Especially the night attack, for the night attacker, it is nothing more than breaking into the other party's promise to make a big fuss, but for the person who is attacked, it is a big trouble.
Especially in this era, there are not so many lights, and there is only a little moonlight that can be used to see the road in the middle of the night. In fact, this can be imagined from our childhood, when we were late at night, in those countryside or mountains, there was only starlight in the sky, and it was dark all around, and it was not easy to see things clearly.
Later, the times progressed, and there were more lights in the city, and even when I walked on the wild road, I could barely see some roads through the lights everywhereββββββ which was certainly not comparable to the day, but it was much stronger than the ordinary night.
But this era is different, and there are too many people with night blindness.
For this reason, Xu He can be said to have made great efforts to finally gather more than 2,000 soldiers without night blindness from his command and bring them all out. And they also happen to be the most elite group of soldiers under Xu He.
The cold sound of the wind blew, muffling the footsteps of Xu and them as they advanced.
Seeing that the distance from the camp was getting closer and closer, even to the point that it was only a few miles away, even Xu He's mind became a little nervous.
Gradually, gradually...
It's getting closer...
Maybe it was because of the distance that Xu He even felt that he could see the faces of the soldiers in charge of patrolling in the camp clearly, and he could clearly see the sleepy looks, and...
Just as Xu He was thinking this, they were less than a mile away from the camp. Seeing that the distance was close enough, Xu He didn't hesitate, and whispered to the leaders around him. "Come with me, brethren!"
saw Xu He slowly running in the direction of the camp, and the yellow scarves behind him did not hesitate, and followed one by one. At first, it was nothing, but more than 3,000 people ran together, and the vibration caused was very loud. Especially in such a late night, the movement caused is even more incomparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that the sergeants patrolling the camp seemed to be stunned, Xu He drew his big knife and shouted violently. "Brothers, kill me with me!"
As soon as I thought of the shouting and killing, I saw the three thousand brothers brought by Xu He rushing to the camp one after another shouting. At the same time, at the position of the gate of the camp, the sergeants who were responsible for guarding the gate and patrolling nearby also shouted loudly.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ..."
Along with the shouting, there was also the sound of drums and mingjin. The original deathly silent promise was suddenly full of people, and one by one I saw the sergeants coming out of the camp tent, still carrying a handful of blades in their hands.
Mmmm, I'm sorry, I'll make up for it right away!!
