"Pass the order, the whole army will speed up, pay attention to the movement, and try not to let the enemy find out!" Chen Shou gave the order and asked the herald to inform the various teams.

For a time, all the torches of the whole army were extinguished, and with the help of the soft moonlight, they accelerated their advance.

I have to say that Chen Shou is worthy of being a famous general of Zheng State, and the management of the army is still relatively strict, after issuing this order, the originally noisy team suddenly quieted down a lot.

The moon hangs high.

Dull footsteps stepped on the dirt and kicked up a thick layer of dust.

The soldiers were cautious, and the closer they got to the Cangguo camp, the more nervous they felt.

Although it is a night attack, after all, this is also a battle, and whoever dares to guarantee that he will be safe.

Some of the more timid ones deliberately slowed down and began to squeeze back.

The generals are different, they are protected at all levels, there is no fear of life, and they are eager to try one by one, eager to be the first to rush forward.

This is the first merit, and when the time comes, the rewards will be given, and ordinary soldiers will have a few good meals at most, but for these generals, they are high-ranking officials and hereditary titles.

Finally, the army approached the Cangguo camp, less than a mile.

"Liang Zijie, you lead the people of the headquarters to raid from the front!" Chen Shou raised the order flag in his hand.

"Yes!"

"Zhang Chun, you lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack from the left!"

"Yes!"

"Ai Sheng, you lead the people of the headquarters and attack from the right side!"

"Yes!"

"Everyone! Act now! Kill! ”

Suddenly, the torches were lit up, the people shouted and the horses neighed, and the night was suddenly illuminated, and all kinds of mountain birds that had long been resting were also frightened, fluttering their wings and flying towards the deep mountains.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Chen Shou's army no longer had any cover, and raised its own flag, and each team of 3,000 people led the soldiers under his command to attack on three sides and rushed towards the fragile camp of Cangguo!

300 zhang ......

100 zhang ......

Thirty zhang ......

Suddenly, a bonfire lit up in the camp opposite!

"Shoot the arrows!" A voice came from the center of the camp, from a towering gimbal.

"Whoosh-"

"Second round!"

"Whoosh-"

"Shoot the arrows again!"

"Whoosh!"

Dense arrows, like torrential rain, rushed into the Zheng army overwhelmingly!

"Ahh

"There's an ambush!"

"Kill it!"

Suddenly, Zheng Jun was caught off guard and fled one after another, and some of the soldiers who rushed to the front didn't have time to react at all, and were shot into hedgehogs by the overwhelming arrows!

For a time, the formation was in chaos.

In the distance, Chen Shou was also shocked, he never expected that this night attack, which was expected to go very smoothly, would encounter a change!

"The archers, they can barely accept ......"

Chen Shou's heart was slightly relieved, the position of the archery team in the army was to interfere and block, this wave of arrows rained down, and among the 3,000 people who attacked head-on, they only lost 500 people at most, and they did not hurt the roots.

Moreover, directly in front of him is Liang Zijie's team of 3,000 people, he still has some understanding of the ability of this beloved general, and I believe that he will be able to react soon, rush into the camp, and with the strength on both sides, a stick of incense is enough time to solve the battle.

However, to his surprise, the 3,000-strong team attacking on the left and right sides was also attacked by arrows!

The terrifying arrows rained down densely around the camp, killing and killing many Zheng Guo's soldiers, and also frightening the generals who were preparing to charge.

Because, these arrows do not fall from behind enemy lines, but - overhead!

Looking up, at the height of five or six zhang of the camp, there were corridor-like things, on which stood archers, who were shooting arrows in an orderly manner and constantly shooting arrows into their own military formation!

Wait for work, no worries at all!

Liang Ziang was so angry that his teeth itched, no matter how many soldiers around him were to protect him, it was useless, people were arrows shot from the top of his head, and there was no one to protect him above his head!

"The whole team obeys the order, don't be afraid of the arrows above your head, rush into the camp, capture the little emperor, and naturally be safe!"

"Yes!"

With an order, the soldiers quickly adjusted and had a unified direction.

The same situation is happening on the left and right, after all, it is a general who has been in battle for a long time, and he understands the key to solving the problem at a glance.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the little emperor is captured, won't everything be solved?

At this time, in the center of the camp, an order came out again: "Don't stop, suppress Zheng Guo's soldiers, and the slingers prepare!" ”

"Whoosh-"

Another rain of arrows.

"The arrows are here again! Watch out for masking! ”

The 100 generals of the Zheng army who rushed to the front shouted and signaled the soldiers under his command to dodge in order to guard against arrows.

However, this wave of arrows was not as powerful as before, after all, it took a long time for the archers to prepare after each shot, and only more than 200 soldiers were killed or injured in the whole round.

However, this is also a big number!

"Don't retreat!" The generals shouted: "Counterattack! Counterattack! Rush into the camp! Storming the camp is a victory for our army! ”

"Oh-"

Zheng Guo's soldiers let out a shout and rushed forward.

But immediately, I saw stones thrown out of the camp, and before anyone could react, many soldiers were directly smashed out!

Moreover, the stone did not fall to the ground!

Like a swing, swinging back and forth, harvesting round after round of human lives, the finally stable formation was disrupted again!

Terror!

Seeing that there was still less than ten zhang away from the camp, the generals were in a dilemma, and could only shout desperately: "Kill!" Kill it! ”

But soon, embarrassing problems arose.

What about the gates of the camp?

Where is the gate?

Where can I attack without an entrance?

The whole camp is a hexagon, each side has a few hundred meters, it looks similar on the surface, there must be an entrance, but it is hidden very deeply, and it can't be found at all for a while!

At this time, behind the back of the camp wall, a spear suddenly pierced out, and the soldiers who didn't have time to react were caught off guard and were pierced through their bodies.

"Whew!"

All the soldiers instantly gasped, and a chill involuntarily rose in everyone's backs.

What's the situation......

What to do?

The soldiers were all confused, and suddenly there was no direction.

This camp seems to be specially aimed at sneak attacks, one trap at a time!

How to attack?

After the attack, there are still 5,000 soldiers waiting for you, what can you do then?

On the battlefield, those who rushed to the front suffered the most casualties, and everyone knew very well that the existence of 5,000 soldiers was enough to make the group of people who rushed to the front die cleanly.

When the time comes, even if it is a victory in the second fight, what does it have to do with yourself?

Every Zheng Guo's soldier was at a loss, even if their respective generals urged them to rush forward, but no one dared to step forward.

War is like this, the so-called morale, condensation is in an instant, if the bravest soldiers are shaken, then the rest of the people will become a rabble, and the examples of hundreds of thousands of people being beaten by tens of thousands of people in history are nothing less.

After a few breaths of effort, countless thoughts passed through the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, the archers above their heads did not give everyone time to think, and a steady stream of arrows shot down in waves.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Finally, a thousand men could no longer bear the shadow of death and ordered the surrounding soldiers to retreat.
