Chapter 441: Nanping Xiao Milling (2)
Dou Xiaochen understood as soon as he heard it, and said "yes" with his hand, and then shouted at the people he selected to set off.
I stood in the middle of the school yard and said to the 2,000 people in front of me: "In the past few days, the enemy army has repeatedly attacked, and they don't take us seriously, if they are allowed to run rampant, I am afraid that if they spread out, they will laugh at no one in my tent. ”
As soon as the words were finished, some people seconded the proposal, and most of them shouted again and again to teach them a lesson, so that they would not return. Seeing that the morale was very high, I was a little more relieved.
In fact, these people I really only wanted to intercept the four or five hundred people who came to attack at first, but Zimin's words reminded me.
I took them with me, traveled lightly, and ordered not to make a sound.
According to my later arrangement, after I left, Xu Zhiren led another 1,000 people to carefully patrol around the camp, and once he found the enemy's traces, he passed the news to Dou Xiaochen with the sound of an arrow.
As for Xu Zhiren, he is Xu Shao's son after all, and these days, he is very effective in doing things, I am almost like an extra arm, in fact, I am very useful, I always feel that Xu Shao assigned Xu Zhiren to me, it is really to help me.
The 2,000 men I led were so far away from the camp that some people began to question what we were going to do. Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was so high, if I let them go back, I am afraid that even if I wanted to, they themselves would not be reconciled, so I told them: "Since the city of Xiangzhou is difficult to attack, we will go and raid their army stationed outside the city. After a pause, he continued, "In the way of others, he will also govern others." If he dares to go tonight, he will never return! ”
After saying that, he continued to walk forward with them.
Xiao Miao's garrison in Xiangzhou City was stationed in the southwest of the city, and it was not difficult to find, and it was soon there.
The barracks were generally quiet, except for the rain.
We crept to a distance of dozens of feet from the camp gate, observed for a moment, drew the hard bow on our back, drew a feather arrow from the quiver, and with a "bang", one of the guards at the camp gate fell in response. Without waiting for the other soldier beside him to make a move, I fired another arrow, and the bowstring sounded, and the man fell to the ground.
After a short time, someone in the camp noticed what seemed to be a sneak attack, and in a short time, candles were lit in the tents that were originally pitch black.
I turned to the crowd and said, "Listen to my command, and divide every four hundred people into five teams, one of which will follow me, and the other four teams, round the camp tent, divided into four directions, east, west, north, south, and shoot all the arrows in the quiver." Remember, if the enemy goes out of the camp, you will withdraw. ”
After a while, there were only 400 people left around me, and I said, "Wait and see." ”
After a short time, an arrow was heard in all directions, east, west, north and south, and they reached their predetermined directions.
I was not far away, and saw that there seemed to be some confusion among the enemy troops, and it was estimated that no one would notice our side, so I simply came closer, because the terrain was a little higher, and I could barely see the situation in the camp.
The enemy was attacked from all sides, east, west, north and south, and the rain of arrows shot at the enemy troops from all directions, and the enemy troops in the camp were suddenly in chaos. I couldn't help but shake my head, and sure enough, as Wei Zheng said, although there are many of them, they can be called elite soldiers, and the number of people in this entire camp is not less than 10,000, but less than 10%.
After a period of chaos, someone affirmed the military discipline, and soon there was no more chaos.
The man who led the troops seemed to know that this was just a ploy, and he didn't know where he guessed the position of the commander, only to see that the enemy troops had all gone north out of the camp gate and rushed straight to the Tang soldiers who were attacking in the north.
The archers from the north, as I said, when they saw that the enemy was coming after them, collected their arrows, and immediately withdrew, as they had attacked us before.
At this moment, I heard another arrow in my ears, and I thought to myself that when Xiao Mo sent someone to sneak attack, he had already been tricked, so I left it alone for the time being.
I made up my mind, signaled to the four hundred men behind me, and rushed down to the camp gate, where there were still many people, but there were not many of them, and the rest of the people, except for the north, knew my plan, and rushed in from all directions.
I raised my eyes and glanced at it, only to see a very striking cold light shining straight through, but it turned out to be a middle-aged general's armor reflecting, although his clothes were not exaggerated, it was too obvious in the dark night firelight, I thought about it, bent my bow and arrows again, and shot at this person without hesitation.
By the time the man reacted, he had already been unable to dodge, and before he could fully shout "ah", the man fell off his horse.
I had already guessed that this man was the chief general of the army, and I turned my head to catch a glimpse of a horse that was not tied up, and I looked at the reins and stretched out my hand, but my body was already on the horse, and someone behind me shouted that I didn't care, and only hit the horse's belly with the bow in my hand, and the horse ran away in pain, and in a blink of an eye ran to the middle-aged general's mount.
The general had already fallen to the ground, and the arrow was still stuck in his chest, and there was chaos around him, as if it was impossible to see whether the person who came was friend or foe, and no one was embarrassed by me anyway.
I fell on my horse, and with my side I dragged the general and the others onto the horse, and with my hand I snatched the sword from the hand of one of them, and struck off the general's head with a swing.
Seeing this, the people around all retreated, I took the reins, and the horse ran out of the crowd regardless of the people in front of him, and after running for a while, a group of people stood in front of him panting, and then said: "Your Majesty, danger!" ”
I laughed loudly, held the general's head and said loudly: "Listen, all the Southern Liang soldiers, your commander has been killed by me, and your camp has been surrounded by the Tang army. ”
These words were said very freely, and spread far away, although they were pretending to be loud, but the army of Xiao Mo in front of me was so vulnerable, and I was a little less timid.
As far as I know, the 2,000 men I brought with me were less than one-tenth of the strength of this battalion, but of the 20,000 troops, there was only one promising general who was shot to death by me.
This sneak attack at night only wounded 18 people and killed 11 people, but it was a complete victory. The people who were sent to attack the Tang camp were also flanked by Dou Xiaochen and Xu Zhiren, and they were all wiped out of the camp.
After I went back, I talked about it with Zimin, and I still thought it was incredible, but Zimin explained that he had taken the enemy's anger from the beginning and was naturally invincible.
I thought about it and thought so.
