Chapter 482: Recapture of Meng Huo (2)

Looking at the retreating barbarian army, Zhang Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was really worried that the barbarian army would continue to attack regardless of it.

You know, the supplies on the mountain are limited after all. There are not many rolling logs, there are not many arrows, and even those unreliable trebuchets are not many stone bullets. If they continue to consume, although they can kill and injure some more barbarian soldiers, however, when these materials are consumed, their Han army will need to engage with the barbarian army.

As a last resort, Zhang Ren didn't want to engage with the barbarian army.

The battle array was fighting, and the Han army was not afraid of any barbarians.

However, they are now behind enemy lines.

In close combat, there will always be casualties; And their Han army has one less dead and wounded, but it is a barbarian army, no matter how many casualties there are, they can also continue to add troops; If this continues, their Han army will be wiped out sooner or later.

Therefore, for the time being, it is naturally best not to be able to engage with the barbarian army in a short manner.

And the retreat of the barbarian army was exactly what Zhang Ren wanted.

As for the fact that tomorrow the barbarians will continue to attack?

Let's talk about it after tonight!

If the barbarian army can survive tonight, it will be broken through the cottage by the barbarians tomorrow, and Zhang Ren will admit it.

Yes, Zhang Ren is preparing for a night attack.

In the history of warfare in the Central Plains, night raids were also the most common means of warfare; As a Han general, if you don't know how to fight at night, you are not a qualified general. Zhang Ren is naturally familiar with night raids.

Moreover, when he was against Uncle Liu Huang before, he was attacked by Zhuge Junshi several times and was abused to death.

After being ill for a long time and being attacked at night many times, how could Zhang Ren not be familiar with this method of warfare?

And the barbarians, I think they have never had the experience of being attacked at night, or were attacked by night, right?

……

In the middle of the night, when the sun is shining, the cool breeze is slow, bringing a hint of coldness.

It was halfway through the middle of winter, and the last quarter moon had just risen, and the moon stars were scarce.

Under the moonlight, countless hazy figures shuttled through the mountains and forests.

In a moment, when approaching the light of a fire somewhere in the mountains and forests, these hazy figures were lying in the grass, lurking quietly.

Zhang Ren opened the grass and looked at the barbarian camp in front of him.

The barbarian army camped, and it was really messy. There were so many barbarian troops, but there was no camp, and the barbarians gathered together in groups of three or five, resting around piles of bonfires. There are occasional patrolling brute soldiers, but they are not very vigilant.

Seeing this, Zhang Ren pouted speechlessly.

Such an army, if it is in the Central Plains, will be crippled by the opponent in minutes!

"Get the oil ready." Zhang Ren commanded.

Fire oil, Zhang Ren and they naturally carry it.

Their troops and horses, as a partial division, should naturally have no shortage of materials.

However, Zhang Renbu did not carry much oil.

At that time, it was only used to make torches when camping or traveling at night, so I didn't bring too much oil.

Fortunately, although the winter in southern Xinjiang is as warm as spring, many plants and trees still have the cycle of four seasons, and there are still withered plants and trees in the mountains and forests. Of course, without the oil of fire, it is impossible for the withered grass and trees to ignite the entire forest.

"Along the barbarian camp, sprinkle a circle of fire oil, and then, throw the rest of the fire oil into the barbarian camp."

"Let's all wait outside, and when the fire starts, if any brutes rush out of the flames, we will kill them on the spot."

"In this battle, let's not take prisoners!"

After observing, Zhang Ren instructed the soldiers around him.

Then, this military order was passed down by the soldiers in a low voice.

For the night attack, Zhang Ren brought out 4,000 soldiers, and Jiashanyu was already an empty camp.

Meng Shu brought a lot of barbarians this time, not to mention thirty or twenty thousand, this fire may not be able to burn them all to death, when the time comes, the barbarians who escaped from the sea of fire will need the soldiers to meet each other in close quarters and kill them at close range.

Of these tens of thousands of barbarians, Zhang Ren doesn't plan to let one escape!

They were behind enemy lines, so naturally they could not keep prisoners.

......
