Chapter 237: An Unexpected Raid (1)

Outside the city of Beiguan

"Quick! Fast! Walk the water! ”

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

In the camp of the Qin army, several guards hurriedly rushed towards the camp tent of Wang Ben, the commander of the army, with copper basins in their hands.

The autumn rain came very suddenly, and the amount of water was unusually large. The heavy rain for three days turned the entire land outside Beiguan into a muddy place, and the water that gathered on the roof of the tarpaulin collapsed, and the rainwater poured directly into Wang Ben's camp along the tarpaulin.

Looking at the chaotic guards in the tent, Wang Ben's sword eyebrows frowned tightly.

Under the pouring rainwater, a large area of the tent was already muddy, and the air was filled with heavy moisture, and staying in this humid environment for a long time made people a little tired.

This is still the camp where he is located, and the situation of the camp where the other soldiers in the army are located can be imagined.

And with the autumn rains, the temperature has also dropped significantly.

This had to make Wang Ben feel worried, most of the people who followed him on this expedition came from the cool land in the northwest, and they were not adapted to this damp and cold muddy environment, and the heavy rain had an extremely serious impact on the Qin army.

At this time, Wang Ben already had the idea of retreating in his heart.

As the son of the famous general Wang Qian, although Wang Ben has always been good at winning with odds, he will not blindly stumble hard.

With the continuous delay of time, the hope of taking Beiguan City in the hands of the Southern Wang Army has been very slim.

However, the continuous heavy rain caused the surrounding ground to be swollen and muddy swamps everywhere, and the Qin army under his command was almost all cavalry, so it was impossible to pass at all, so they had to be trapped here.

Originally, the Chengjia State under the rule of Gongsun Shu did not have the same strong financial resources as Sima Yu, who had a treasury system, and it was impossible to improve the transportation in Changzhou in two or three years.

"Pass the order, and the battalions will be on guard!"

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Ben's heart was faintly uneasy, and after coming back to his senses, he ordered a personal guard.

"Yes!"

"Squeak~"

In the rain curtain, with the stiffness of the opening of the south gate of Beiguan City, a column of soldiers dressed in black leather armor and shoulders slowly drove into Beiguan City.

In front of this group of soldiers, a tiger general dressed in a black-armored ox helmet and holding a halberd of the Erfang Heavenly Painting slowly galloped into the city on a war horse, and behind him countless soldiers were divided into five columns, lined up neatly, and followed closely behind them in a long winding dragon.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

Whoa~

The soldiers' footsteps trampled on the water, making a neat rattle.

The entire army consisted of about 20,000 men, and the leader was none other than Tadashi Honda, who was now the deputy commander of the Right Guard.

The continuous heavy rain not only suppressed the Qin army outside the city to the extreme, but also the Eastern Army, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Northern Army Cavalry, and the Flying Feather Cavalry in Beiguan City, as well as the 150,000 Southern Wang Army in the large camp outside the south of the city, were also greatly affected.

According to the local old farmers sent by Sima Yu, it will soon be a sunny day after the rain stops tonight.

And once the autumn rain stops and the weather clears, the old general Li Mu estimates that Wang Ben is likely to lead the Qin army to evacuate.

This is what Sima Yu does not want to see!

In the case that Wang Ben did not understand the strength of the southern Wang army for the time being, if he was willing to lead his troops to attack Beiguancheng for a long time, Sima Yu and they were confident that they could easily take down Wang Ben's lone army.

But once Wang Ben gave up the idea of capturing Beiguancheng, led the army to retreat to Shidao County, and even directly abandoned Changzhou and returned to Chongzhou, then the southern Wang army really had no way to take them.

Therefore, since the two armies had already started a war, Sima Yu didn't want to watch such an elite Qin army slip out of his eyes.

The 20,000 troops led by Honda Tadashi in front of him were specially prepared by Sima Yu for the Qin army outside Beiguan City. All of them were Japanese who had joined Sima Yu, and they were selected from the 150,000 army led by Sima Yu.

Before they came into this world, these Japanese people had been haunting the southeast coast for a long time, and were very good at fighting in the rain and mud, and the current situation was just right.

As time passed, the sky grew darker, and night covered the land.

Drain~

At that time, although the momentum of the autumn rain had plummeted, it had not stopped, and the fire in the camp of the Qin army was faint and dim.

Bang Bang Bang ~

In the north camp of the army, a group of patrolling Qin soldiers marched forward on the muddy ground.

The Qin army deserved to be a well-disciplined army of tigers and wolves, and in such a harsh environment, the clothes and armor of these patrolling soldiers had already been soaked by the rain, but they did not show the slightest sign of laziness, and still strictly carried out Wang Ben's orders.

Woo Woo Woo ~ The dim light of the camp blocked the view of the patrolmen, and as they approached the edge of the camp, several arrows suddenly struck them with precision from the rain.

The sharp bolts pierced through the rain and pierced the throats of the patrolling soldiers, gushing blood out of their necks before they could make an alarm.

Bang Bang Bang ~

In a slight sound of treading water, dozens of black shadows quickly crossed the wooden gate outside the camp and came to the camp gate to slowly open the wooden gate.

"Quick!"

At this time, under the influence of heavy rain, most of the Qin soldiers in the camp had already cowered in the camp tent and fell asleep, and no one noticed the movement at the camp gate, and countless black shadows poured in along the open gate.

"Kill!"

At the front of the team, the deputy commander of the Right Guard, Honda Tadakatsu, who had rested all afternoon, was in full energy, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, looking at the silent Qin army camp, he raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Kill!"

No one in the Qin army expected that the southern Wang army in Beiguan City would launch a sneak attack on the army in such a harsh environment, and soon a large number of Qin soldiers in the northern camp were unknowingly killed in their sleep.

"Not good! There is an enemy attack! ”

Ahhh

When the Qin soldiers in the camp reacted, thousands of Qin soldiers in the entire northern camp had already been slaughtered.

The dense black-armored soldiers gathered together and slaughtered unhindered towards the depths of the Qin army camp in the muddy camp, and the spears and broadswords in their hands unceremoniously beckoned to the ignorant Qin soldiers.

The 20,000 Japanese people were extremely fast in the rain, and the heavy rain for three consecutive days greatly consumed the will and physical strength of the Qin soldiers, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the sudden arrival of the southern royal army.

"Order all departments to move closer to the Chinese army!"

The shouting of killing alarmed Wang Ben, who had just fallen asleep, and when he came to the outside of the camp to look at the southern Wang army ravaging in the northern camp, he decisively ordered.

Judging from the turmoil in the north camp, Wang Ben judged at a glance that there were not many enemy soldiers attacking the camp, and the north camp was on the edge of the camp of the army, with a total of only 3,000 men and horses, and nearly half of them had been killed by the enemy, so it was not important to save or not.

Now it is imperative that only by stabilizing the Chinese army first, can the Qin army be invincible.

Whining~

In the sound of the trumpet of the dungeon, the alarmed soldiers of the Qin army began to move in the direction of Wang Ben's general banner in the rain.

Unknowingly, in order to avoid the chaotic collapse of the army, Wang Ben's order was undoubtedly correct.

"The man's achievements are at this time, everyone will kill with me!"

It's a pity that Wang Ben has lowered the combat strength and determination of the southern Wang army composed of 20,000 Japanese people, and the low sound of the horn quickly pointed out the general direction of Wang Ben's location for Honda Tadashikatsu, and raised the halberd in his hand to decisively kill the Qin army.
