Chapter 56: The Qin Army's Night Attack

Gongsun Yan put the cloak on his body, lifted the curtain of the military tent, put his hand to his mouth and sighed, rubbed it, and walked to the camp tent in front.

More than a month ago, news came from the state of Chu that the state of Qin sent troops from Wuguan to attack Suiyi, and when the state of Chu was temporarily unable to send troops to Hanguguan, Rao was a person he had seen many strong winds and waves, and he was also shocked to drop the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, the state of Chu was the most important part of his plan, and now it was frozen on the border of the state of Chu by the soldiers of the state of Qin, which made the other four countries although they were related, but also had a lot of complaints. It also cast a shadow on the battle of the Four Nations Alliance's attack on Qin.

When the news came, the generals of the four countries urgently convened a meeting to discuss the subsequent strategy. In addition to Yanguo City, which felt the need to withdraw troops, both Han and Wei opposed the withdrawal, and Le Yi, who attended the meeting on behalf of Zhao State, said that although it was possible not to withdraw troops at present, it could not be snowed at the latest, and once it snowed, the army would have to retreat to the vicinity of Luoyi to distance itself from the Qin army to prevent it from being attacked by the Qin army. Although the generals felt that what they said was reasonable, they didn't think so, without him, their qualifications were not enough, and everyone here had great military merits, wouldn't it be a joke to let a Le Yi command!

Seeing this, Le Yi was also helpless. Thinking of what Zhao Yong once said to himself, the six countries and six hearts, how easy it is to mix them together, I was a little relieved. And the reaction of the generals also dispelled Gongsun Yan's idea of letting Le Yi be the commander-in-chief, and continued to support the crisis. Gongsun Yan also didn't want to retreat, because once he retreated, his prestige would be completely hit to the end, and it would not be easy to have such an opportunity to deal with the Qin State.

However, Gongsun Yan also kept a thought, and sent every battle report to the Tiger Prison Pass on the same day, so that Le Yi always kept an eye on the front line.

In the past month, the allied forces of the four countries have continued to attack the Hangu Pass, and have launched attacks on this tall pass four times, each time they have returned with a feather. The Qin army is already strong in combat, and it is very difficult to break through their defenses, and he is also a very wise person, and he is not afraid in the face of the Five Nations Alliance, and he looks good in defense, and he has a lot of insight in arranging troops, but he is really a rare general of the Qin clan. Coupled with the geographical advantage of Hangu Pass, it really made the coalition forces sigh. Faced with such a situation, Gongsun Yan accepted Le Yi's suggestion, pay more attention to morale, and don't give up lightly. So Gongsun Yan is like now, every night, no matter how late it is, he will walk around the barracks to boost morale.

"Lord Aibang." Walking to the gate of the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly greeted the rhinoceros.

"Well, is there any movement in the Qin army?"

"Lord Hui, since you emphasized the need to strictly defend against the sneak attack of the Qin army, the brothers have strengthened their defense at night, and they will never let the Qin people succeed."

"Well, be careful." Gongsun Yan nodded, stood at the gate of the camp, and looked at the Hangu Gate not far away, behind the city gate, which used to be his most glorious memory, but now it has become a yellow flower of yesterday, leaving him alone and wandering all over the world. He wanted to step on Xianyang, no matter how difficult it was, he thought it was not impossible. And now I really want to realize this dream, but it is very far away and long. Everyone thought that he was angry with Zhang Yi, but in fact, he was underestimating his grandson, with his conceit, how could he put Zhang Yi in his eyes, what he was going to defeat was actually his past self.

There is still a lot of space for the troops of the three countries to be stationed, and the three countries are distributed according to a triangle, with Korea and Wei occupying both ends and Yan behind. The camps of various countries are almost the same, with two layers of camp walls of different heights inside and outside, three walled gates, and four in Korea, and the walled gates are all erected to resist horses, and the front is finished with a trench to prevent the enemy from attacking from the front. Standing on the camp wall of the Wei State, Gongsun Yan had even seen the grain and grass camp of the Han army and the tent of the Chinese army. There was no movement in the camp, only soldiers on patrol, which was a means of preventing spies from getting in.

Gongsun Yan looked at the camp of the Korean army and signaled the soldiers to defend carefully, and he turned around and went back to his camp.

Le Yi once said at the meeting that the Qin army might sneak attack the camp, but more than a month passed, the Qin army did not even open the gate of Hangu Pass, Shen Cha and the others did not say it, and they also secretly laughed in their hearts Le Yi made a fuss. The four-nation alliance army has more than 200,000 people, and the Qin army needs at least 100,000 to be able to compete, and a Hangu Pass has 50,000 people stationed at most, which is not a numerical opponent at all. What's more, the Qin army also arranged heavy troops in the direction of Wuguan, and it was bound to take a defensive position in the direction of Hangu Pass.

However, they were wrong, and sometimes the city gates were not opened, which did not mean that no one could come out.

The moon was obscured by dark clouds, the light was converged, and at this moment, a thick rope was thrown down from the city, about a dozen, at this moment, there were people in black clothes on the head of the city, their hair was tied behind their heads, they carried copper swords behind their backs, and their hands were wrapped with cloths, I saw that the first of them climbed the rope, glanced behind him, took a deep breath, wrapped his feet around the rope, and controlled the speed of descent with both hands. After a while, they were under the city walls, quickly found low plants, lay on the ground, and waited for others. The men in black after them did the same, and their bodies were agile, and soon a team of about a hundred people gathered under the city gates. After the leader counted them, he made a gesture in the direction of the Korean and Wei military camps, and everyone nodded, comprehending, and walked towards the two military camps with a low body.

The storm kite put away the book, put it on the table, and was about to blow out the lamp and rest. As the adjutant of the Korean army, he is also qualified to have a single tent, but it is a little smaller than the tent of fifty soldiers. The grain and grass in the barracks are generally next to the central military tents, and the chief general is personally responsible. This time, the main general will be Shencha, and the storm kite can be regarded as following to make some credit, and he is responsible for the safety of grain and grass by self-recommendation.

Just as the storm kite blew out the lights and slept in his clothes, he heard a muffled hum in his ears. The kite was immediately alert, he did not light the candle, put on his clothes, took the sword from the bedside, and quietly walked out of the tent. Just as he was about to walk to the door, he heard another voice: "You are... Yes! After a quarrel, the violent kite immediately realized that it might be the other party who had visited the barracks at night, and no longer slowed down, pulled out his sword and rushed out. Just as he saw a black-clothed dead soldier passing outside the tent, the storm kite hurriedly shouted: "Someone, someone is attacking the camp!" Someone, someone is attacking the camp! And rubbed himself up and killed the black-clothed personality to the ground.

The Korean soldiers had not yet arrived, but they attracted the attention of the other men in black, and except for ten people near the grain and grass, everyone else rushed towards the storm kite. They were the dead soldiers of the Qin State, and they trained the skills of hitting with one hit. Although Storm Kite is a veteran of the battlefield, it is quite difficult to deal with, not to mention that the number of opponents is not small. The dead soldiers and the violent kite were entangled, and the violent kite was beaten left and right, and it was very difficult to fight back, so he could only deal with the dead soldiers of the Qin State while shouting the Korean soldiers on patrol.

Finally, a Korean soldier heard his cry and hurriedly picked up his weapon and rushed to this side, and a dead soldier saw that he was in a dead place, and ordered loudly: Burn grain! Without hesitation, the ten black-clothed soldiers lit a torch and threw it towards the granary of the Korean army. The weather was very dry these days, and the torches met the dry granary, and a fire formed in an instant. On the one hand, the Koreans helped the storm kite to encircle and suppress the group of dead soldiers, and on the other hand, they called more people to come to extinguish the fire. After a while, the flames in the sky burned the Korean camp red, like a bloody picture.

The dead soldiers of the Qin State finally fulfilled their promise, and looking at more and more Korean soldiers, knowing that they could not escape death, they wiped their necks with bronze swords, but they did not leave a single living mouth. And while fighting fires and destroying the enemy, no one cared about the lives of these people, so this group of dead soldiers died in the camp in South Korea. The storm kite sighed and kicked the corpse at his feet, eager to break him to pieces. Then quickly send someone to count the grain and grass and check the loss.

South Korea is busy here, Wei is not idle, the storm kite fortunately had the police early, the first to discover the other party's dead, and Gongsun Yan's side, when the Qin State dead soldiers have already set fire to the granary, he realized the problem, and quickly ordered people to extinguish the fire while annihilating all the soldiers. Gongsun Xi was also on the side, watching everyone busy fighting the fire, and suddenly blessed his heart, pulled his lieutenant general and shouted: "Quickly gather 5,000 cavalry and line up at the camp gate." ”

Gongsun Yan also suddenly thought that if the Qin army attacked at this time, then the Wei army would be completely finished. So he and Gongsun Xi were responsible for these two things respectively.

On the tower of Hangu Pass, he looked at the fire-filled coalition camp, took off his helmet, and was silent for a long time. In fact, Gongsun Yan didn't have to worry so much, although he would attack the army after preparing the camp at the beginning, but the camp of the three armies had clear barriers, and it was impossible to win a victory by burning grain and grass. Because of this, he gave up this plan and turned to burning grain and grass by fire to reduce the morale of the other party. Gongzihua said that he could win by murdering the other party's master, but he didn't think it was realistic. The dead soldiers who attacked this time were all recruited temporarily, and their personal abilities were not strong, even if it was Gongsun Yan, I am afraid they could deal with one or two. Therefore, it is better to choose to be on the safe side, mainly to disintegrate the morale of the other party.

"I thought you would take advantage of the victory to pursue, but I didn't expect you to give them a chance." Gongzihua watched the chickens and dogs walking in the camp of the Five Nations Alliance, and couldn't help but say.

"It's hard to say about chance, some opportunities you have a life, and some opportunities you don't use." "I have prepared a big gift for Gongsun Yan, I hope he will laugh at it." ”
