Chapter 137: Night Attack (2)
At night, the moonlight on Phoenix Mountain is hazy.
In the shadow of a big stone, Zhang Wei finally waited for the dozen or so warriors under his command to climb up the mountain.
Fortunately, this is the back mountain of Phoenix Mountain, and there is a cliff below, and the enemy troops on the mountain seem to be defenseless here. Occasionally, patrols pass by, most of them glance at them with torches, and they do not search carefully at all.
At this time, the enemy had just won a frontal night attack, and the camp was full of people and noise.
At this point in time, it is naturally not suitable to sneak in and kill people and set fires now.
Zhang Wei had no choice but to hide in the shadows with the big guys, waiting for the enemy camp to calm down.
After more than half an hour, the enemy cottage really calmed down, and there were only a few patrols, wandering around the mountain.
Of course, Zhang Wei estimated that there should also be enemy sentinels on the mountain road in front.
As for whether it was an open whistle or a dark whistle, Zhang Wei couldn't guess.
"Let's go our separate ways, remember, just burn the enemy's grain and grass materials, we don't want to kill the enemy!"
Zhang Wei watched the time come, and whispered to the more than ten martial artists around him.
Today's night attack, the lord arranged two teams of men.
The jumping soldiers in front of them are attacking at night, and it would be better if they could attack the mountain.
Even if you can't attack the mountain, you can reduce the vigilance of the enemy troops on the mountain.
After all, after a night attack, the enemy army would definitely not have imagined that there would be a night attack after a night attack.
What's more, it's still a night attack from the cliffs!
Zhang Wei, the more than ten warriors of them, is the second wave of night attacks tonight.
Their mission is not to kill the enemy.
With only these more than ten martial artists, and not the strength of the Ning Gang Realm, if they want to conquer the enemy camp of 3,000 people, not only Zhang Lu and Yang Song did not have this dream, Zhang Wei also knew that it was unlikely.
Therefore, Zhang Wei's task is to burn the enemy's grain and grass.
Phoenix Mountain is only about five miles away from Xicheng County, but now their Hanzhong army is besieging the city and besieging the mountain, if the enemy army on the mountain has no grain and grass, Phoenix Mountain will inevitably be self-defeating, why should their Hanzhong army lose troops to attack the mountain?
……
The enemy's camp, because it was built on the mountain, was not very tall, but only in the place facing the mountain road, there were arrow towers and walled walls, and in the place with the back to the mountain shade, there was only a circle of fences.
Soon, Zhang Wei and the others climbed over the fence and quietly entered the enemy camp.
The shadows scattered in all directions, looking for a place for the enemy to stock up on food and grass supplies.
The tent where the people live is not their target, and it is easy to distinguish between them, as long as they get close to such a tent, Zhang Wei and they can hear a snoring sound.
It was an enemy soldier sleeping soundly.
Only those tents that do not have the sound of breathing should be a place to store food and grass supplies.
Soon, everyone searched around, and even a few small platforms nearby, some people quietly went over to check, but they didn't find the place where the enemy was hoarding grain and grass materials.
This is obviously unreasonable.
The enemy army has set up a military fortress in Phoenix Mountain, and it is impossible for the mountain to be without food and grass supplies.
Is it possible, can the enemy army not eat or drink?
When the crowd gathered, they hid in the shadows of a tent.
This tent, where snoring was all the rage, was also a tent where enemy soldiers rested.
"General, where are the enemy's food and grass supplies?"
In the dark shadows, many warriors couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Sneak attack + night attack is a very risky business; If you can't get it quickly, you can either retreat quickly, or you can quickly figure out a way. The longer you stay in the enemy camp in the middle of the night, the more likely you are to be exposed!
Zhang Wei is also a little anxious now.
I thought I would be able to get a task nine times out of ten, but I didn't think about the mission goal but couldn't find it?
"Everybody talks, what now?" Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.
He Zhang Wei is just a martial artist, just a military general in the army, let him find a way to deal with the current situation, it is really difficult for a strong man, it is better to brainstorm.
In the shadows, several black shadows were staring at the movements of the enemy camp at all times, and when they heard Zhang Wei's inquiry, everyone was silent for a while.
Zhang Wei didn't know what to do, and they didn't know what to do either.
"General, it seems that we still have a place that we haven't searched."
When he was anxious, a warrior who was staring at the movement of the enemy camp suddenly reminded him.
Just now, this guy suddenly discovered that they had searched almost all the places in the enemy camp, but only a few camp tents were missing.
When Zhang Wei heard this, he leaned over to the martial artist and followed his direction.
Sure enough, Zhang Wei also felt that he had missed an important place and did not search!
There is often darkness under the lamp in the world, and now that he Zhang Wei is in the enemy camp, he is actually confused by the darkness under the lamp.
When the army set up camp, the tents in the rest of the camp, not to mention, usually set up a few tents in the center of the camp. These tents are usually for the commanders or generals of the army, as well as their own soldiers or clerks and the like.
Zhang Weijiu was in the army, and when he saw the camp, he subconsciously was artificial, and the camps in the middle must have lived with the head of the enemy army; But it never occurred to him whether the enemy would do the opposite.
Now, Zhang Wei has searched almost all the enemy camps, but he has only subconsciously avoided the tents in the middle of the enemy camp.
"Everyone quietly approached!"
Zhang Wei quietly drew out the long sword, and everyone followed suit.
The sword was in the moonlight, but it didn't reflect.
For tonight's sneak attack, Zhang Wei and their long swords were all smeared with ink, so that they could not reflect the moonlight.
……
Soon, the people touched the tents in the middle.
It's just that here, there is no more shadow to use, and everyone is exposed to the light of the fire.
After all, this is the top priority of the enemy army, and there are several bonfires around the tent.
In the distance, the footsteps of the enemy patrol have been transmitted, unhurriedly.
Zhang Wei stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, listening intently to the movement in the tent.
A few long breaths made Zhang Wei's heart happy.
This may be the head of the enemy army, or it may be the guard of the enemy's supply warehouse.
Either way, Zhang Wei feels that this opportunity should not be missed.
Whether the tent is the head of the enemy army, or the enemy's food and grass materials, the chance is split in half.
But whether it is the head of the enemy army or the grain and grass of the enemy army, there will be nothing wrong with him Zhang Wei burning these tents, right?
"Set fire!"
Zhang Wei's long sword swept and instantly provoked a bonfire and smashed it on a tent.
Beside him, more than a dozen warriors scattered, and each of them set up a team of bonfires to light the tents in the middle of the enemy camp.
In an instant, fires broke out, and screams could be heard faintly from the tent.
