Chen Qingzhi led his troops and lurked in the woods of a hill south of Pengcheng. From here, you can see that outside the southern city, the Wei army has set up camp and is building equipment such as ladders and chariots to prepare for the siege.

However, in the sky above the Wei army's camp, there was no sense of urgency before the siege battle - Yuan Jian's surprise attack on the Liang army and his complete victory could not help but be complacent, in his opinion, Pengcheng was already within reach; At this moment, he was drinking and shouting in the big tent with the generals under his command, and he was drunk.

The soldiers of the Wei army also seemed extremely relaxed, scattered in groups of three or five in the camp, eating, sleeping, gambling, and chatting, not at all like they were on the front line of the battlefield; The cavalrymen even unsaddled their armours and saddles, making it easy for their horses.

The sergeants who built the siege equipment also took a break for a while, and did not feel in a hurry to complete the work at hand.

The entire camp of the Wei army is an atmosphere of having won a great victory and just cleaning the battlefield!

"Ziyun, it seems that the Wei army has at least more than 20,000 people, how can we fight with a mere 2,000 people?" Yu Tianchou asked worriedly on the side.

"Now that I have to fight to the death, can I still withdraw to Jiankang?" Xu Jin accosted him on the side.

Chen Qingzhi silently looked at the Wei army's camp for a while, and said calmly, "The Wei army thinks that if they defeat King Ye, they are already winning; If we are so unprepared, if we are caught between inside and outside, it is not impossible to win. ”

Chen Qingzhi turned around and ordered, "Tell the brothers to rest on the spot and recuperate their spirits, we will attack the Wei camp at night tonight!" ”

"Night raid?"

"Yes, the Wei army is so slack, the night attack will definitely be a great success!" Chen Qingzhi said categorically.

"Xu Jin, you have superb archery skills, I will repair a book, and you shoot him into Pengcheng." Chen Qingzhi advised, "You'd better ride a horse and detour to the past, don't be discovered by the Wei army!" Also, be sure to come back in the evening. ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry about leaving it to me, I will definitely come back before it gets dark!" Xu Jin patted his chest in response.

"Does General Chen want the Peng Cheng army to join us inside and outside and attack the Wei army at night together?" Ma Phronen asked.

"Not bad."

"But what if the Peng Cheng army is afraid of war and is unwilling to cooperate?" Ma Funian was a little worried.

Chen Qingzhi smiled, "Don't worry, Wencai, this is the only chance for Yuan Fa Monk to live, he will definitely come out." Besides, your husband is also in the city, and he will urge the troops to be sent out. ”

After collecting Chen Qingzhi's letter, Xu Jin rode the black thunder and went down the hill alone.

As instructed, he made a large detour from the east, bypassing the line of sight of the Wei army and coming to the northeast of Pengcheng.

The defenders on the city wall spotted Xu Jin approaching and shouted loudly, "Who is it?" Don't get any closer! At the same time, he pulled out his bow and arrows and aimed them at Xu Jin under the city.

Xu Jin replied loudly, "I'm Liang Jun, on the order of Brother Chen, I'm here to deliver the letter, don't panic, I'll shoot the letter!" ”

After speaking, Xu Jin tied the letter to the arrow, stretched his bow and set up the arrow, and shot it on the city wall.

Seeing the guard pick up the letter, Xu Jin said loudly, "Brother, hurry up and send it to your general, don't delay the big thing, I'll leave first!" ”

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and galloped away.

The guard took the letter and hurriedly sent it to the Yuan monk.

Monk Yuan was lying on the couch, holding his head and sighing. Reading the letter, he turned over and sat up, looked at it carefully, and commanded in a loud voice, "Quick! Inform all the generals that the lobby is on the agenda! ”

Zhu Yi and Ye Wang Yuanshu also rushed to hear the news.

Monk Yuan handed the letter to the two of them, "What is the opinion of the second duke?" ”

"This is our only chance now!" Zhu Yi said, "No matter what, we have to fight!" ”

"But what if this is a trick by the Wei army to lure the enemy?" Yuan Jingzhong asked on the side.

Obviously, his concerns were shared by most of the Pengcheng generals, and everyone began to talk about it.

"I recognize Ziyun's handwriting, this letter must be written by his own hand, and there is no need for everyone to doubt it!" Zhu Yi said loudly, wanting to eliminate everyone's concerns.

Yuan Shu was a little surprised by Zhu Yi's words, he didn't know if Zhu Yi really recognized Chen Qingzhi's handwriting, but he also knew that this was indeed the only chance, and it was worth betting.

"But this General Chen only has 2,000 people, how easy is it to succeed in a night attack?" Yuan Jingzhong is still worried.

"Then according to the meaning of the child, just sit here and wait to die?" Zhu Yi asked rhetorically.

"It's all death anyway, it's better to fight!" Yuan Fa Monk suddenly shot the case, "According to the meaning of this General Chen, when we see the Wei army camp outside the city on fire, let's go out of the city in several ways, Yuan Shu, you also have to lead the rest of the Liang army to participate in the battle." Remember, according to the instructions in the letter, let all soldiers tie white strips of cloth on their helmets and arms to distinguish friend from foe and avoid accidental injury! ”

"If we win this battle, we will be able to enjoy prosperity in the future; If you ...... defeated," the old eyes of the Yuan monk shot a vicious fierce light, "kill all the people in the city, burn Pengcheng to the ground, and let the Wei army get nothing!" ”

When Xu Jin returned to the hills and forests, it was just evening.

The soldiers ate and slept enough in the forest, and at this moment they were full of energy, all of them were gearing up, waiting for the moment of attack.

Chen Qingzhi began to explain the plan and arrangement of the night attack to everyone, "We have few soldiers, we must not scatter, we must concentrate on attacking one place with all our might, and this place must be the key point of the enemy army - the camp tent of the Chinese army!" That's where the enemy commander is, take down the enemy commander, and the enemy army will be defeated! ”

"The night attack must be sudden, and the enemy will be caught off guard, so we must take advantage of the darkness and try to get as close to the enemy camp as possible; You must instruct your brothers not to speak, not to carry heavy things such as shields, and to come close to the enemy camp and prostrate themselves and wait for orders. ”

"Xu Jin, you take the cavalry as the vanguard, and the war horse must be wrapped in hooves, and only after approaching can you launch a charge; Open the gap, you just rush to the commander's tent, if you can take the commander's head, it is best, if the commander escapes, report to me immediately. ”

"When the rest of the men saw the cavalry rushing in, they immediately rushed in and set fire to it as much as they could. But you must remember that you must not be scattered, you must take care of each other, and you must not go alone! ”

Tiangong also seemed to be helping Chen Qingzhi, tonight's night was particularly deep, the moon and starlight were hiding behind thick clouds, only on the edge of those clouds, some halos could be seen.

The campfire of the Wei army pointed the way forward for Chen Qingzhi's troops; However, the Wei army was unaware of the looming crisis lurking in the darkness.

It was late at night, and most of the Wei troops were already asleep, and the sentries who were on duty at night were also napping with spears in their hands, and nothing else could be heard except the sound of insects, as if it would still be an ordinary night.

Several sharp arrows were fired at the same time, hitting the Wei sentry on the sentry.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Xu Jin rushed into the Wei camp like a demonic beast emerging out of thin air from the darkness.

When the rest of the soldiers saw the cavalry rushing in, they also got up from their hiding places and rushed in.

In the eyes of the Wei soldiers, this army that suddenly appeared from the darkness must be an army of evil ghosts from hell - they didn't speak, they didn't shout to kill, they just showed a fierce look in their eyes, their faces were hideous, and they kept killing the Wei army in front of them with the weapons in their hands, and many soldiers were still asleep, so they went to see the king of Hades......

The toppled campfire ignited the camp tent, and the fire spread rapidly, and the Wei soldiers who were on fire wailed and ran in all directions, which further aggravated the spread of the fire, and after a while, the Wei army's camp was already on fire.

Xu Jin followed Chen Qingzhi's instructions and rushed all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yuan Jian was still drunk, hurriedly put on his armor, and rushed out with the group of generals who were hungover in the tent with him.

Just in front of Xu Jin with men and horses, several generals pulled out their long knives and babbled and rushed towards Xu Jin. Xu Jin shook the red refining spear in his hand, stabbed left and right, and was dazzled for a while, and the generals who rushed over fell in a pool of blood, and they all swallowed their breath after struggling a few times.

Xu Jin jumped off the horse, looked at the group of panicked people in front of him, wiped his nose with the back of his hand and asked, "Which of you is the main general?" ”

No one answered him. Xu Jin spat on the ground and said lightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, none of you can run away anyway!" ”

After speaking, he pounced viciously with his subordinates.

A scuffle ensued, and Xu Jin and his subordinates cut down all of Yuan Jian's subordinates to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.

Yuan Jian huddled in the corner, shivering, and even forgot to escape.

Just when Yuan Jian was about to be killed, a samurai in armor rushed over, like an iron tower, blocking Yuan Jian's face, this person was the leader of the thousand heavy horses under Yuan Jian's command.

"Run away, lord, I'll stop you here!" The samurai shouted at Yuan Jian.

Yuan Jian only came to his senses at this moment, and even rolled over and rode on his horse, and ran away without looking back.

Several cavalrymen tried to chase after them, but were blocked by the tower warriors.

Xu Jin waved his hand and said to them, "Brothers, you go to Brother Chen and tell him that the master general has fled, this person is not an ordinary person, and leave it to me to deal with." ”

Xu Jin and the samurai both jumped off their horses, carried the weapons in their hands, and walked towards each other menacingly.

The big knife in the warrior's hand slashed head-on, and was flashed sideways by Xu Jin, and the red refining spear immediately launched a counterattack, and the tip of the spear continued to stab at the enemy's chest, abdomen, throat and other vital points.

In the face of Xu Jin's fierce attack, the warrior couldn't defend himself at all, so he had to desperately protect his face, relying on his heavy armor, but he didn't suffer much damage.

Xu Jin took the gun back and said to himself, "If only I had Hui Ze's iron rod, it would be much easier to deal with this kind of monster with heavy armor." ”

When the ironclad warrior saw that Xu Jin had stopped attacking, he shouted again and slashed at him.

Xu Jin dodged left and right, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

After all, the warrior was dressed in heavy armor, and his flexibility was far less than that of Xu Jin, and he gradually became more flawed.

Xu Jin took advantage of the moment when he returned his knife and was about to slash, his legs kicked the ground with force, and the red refining spear in his hand spun rapidly and stabbed at the enemy's face. The warrior hurriedly withdrew his hand to block it, and the tip of the spear pierced the armor on his arm, but this time it was different from the previous stabbing blow, and the strong rotation made the tip of the spear break through the defense of the iron armor like a drill - the samurai screamed and quickly retreated a few times, and the arm was now a blur of flesh and blood.

Xu Jin took advantage of the victory to pursue, without giving the other party the slightest room to maneuver, and the tip of the spear stabbed straight into the door - as Xu Jin pulled out the tip of the spear that had been inserted deep into his head from his face, the samurai also fell to the ground like a collapsed iron tower.

Xu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's too hard, it seems that I have to discuss with everyone, how to deal with this kind of ironclad monster in the future." ”
