Chapter 12: The Night Attack

"Pedal Pedal ~"

In the continuous camp, a group of listless slave soldiers wrapped in thick cloth armor were patrolling listlessly under the leadership of the squad leader, and along the way, the various camp tents scattered on the side of the mountain were full of tired slave soldiers.

This is the camp of the Qing army that led the army to attack Li Dingguo, and the whole camp traverses the Lion Rock dozens of miles away from the county seat of Hejiao, stretching for several miles.

On both sides of the camp are the camps of the slave army, and in the middle are the 4,000 elite of the Eight Banners under the command of Hauge.

More than two months ago, the Qing army that captured Luzhou, under the leadership of Prince Su Haoge, attacked Yongzhou in three ways.

In this attack on Yongzhou, the Qing army did not progress well.

The Left Route Army and the Middle Route Army, which attacked Ji'an and He Jiao counties, met with stubborn resistance from Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.

Li Dingguo adopted the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and before the Qing army arrived, he first transferred all the people in the villages around the frontier towns to various important towns, relying on the forts and towns built to block them layer by layer, causing great damage to the Qing army.

On the left road, the Aobai Department and Liu Wenxiu led an army of 10,000 in Panlong Town, and it took nearly a month to capture Panlong Town, the forefront of Ji'an County, or the 4 Niulu Eight Banners soldiers under his command dismounted to take the lead in attacking the city.

Although he captured Panlong Town, he failed to keep Liu Wenxiu, and now he is turned away from Sailu Town.

And because Liu Wenxiu adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness, the slave army under the command of Ao Bai could not be replenished in time after being damaged, and the slave army under his command had been reduced by more than half, even the 4,500 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had lost more than 600 people.

The middle route army led by Hauge was also met with stubborn resistance from Li Dingguo's troops in He Terrier County.

The two armies fought fiercely for two months at the town of Changshi, southeast of the Lion Mountain, and lost 20,000 slave troops, but Hauge's troops did not advance an inch.

As for the attack on the territory of Jumei County, the Nikan Department was even worse, first took the northwest of Jumei County all the way, but was destroyed by Sima Yu outside Pingluo Village, and the entire Right Route Army was annihilated, and even the northwest of Jumei County, which had just arrived, fell into a state of chaos and was controlled by several bandit forces that took advantage of the situation.

After a long period of protracted fierce fighting, the Qing army has fallen into a state of fatigue, and the morale of the entire Middle Route Army camp under the Lion Rock is extremely low, if it were not for the 4,000 elites of the Eight Banners under Haoge, the army may have mutinied.

However, even so, the war-weariness spread throughout the barracks, and even the soldiers of the Eight Banners under Hauge were dissatisfied.

At this time, it was the hour when people were most distressed, except for a few groups of slave soldiers who were still walking and patrolling the camp, the other soldiers had fallen into a deep sleep, and the whole camp was silent.

"Click!"

Just as the listless slave soldiers patrolled the edge of the camp at the foot of the Lion Rock, several men suddenly appeared from the grass beside them.

These people are obviously all practicing people, all of them have good strength, and they rushed to the patrolling slave soldiers with lightning speed, only to hear a few crisp sound of broken bones, and the pair of patrolling soldiers were all eliminated by them.

"Let's go!"

After eliminating the patrolling slave soldiers, the man in yellow leather armor who was the first of those people waved his left hand vigorously and said softly.

A group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the grass again, and under the leadership of the first few people, they divided into several groups and began to sneak into the camp of the Qing army.

After these people rushed into the camp of the Qing army, they were cautious all the way, some took cover, some solved the sleeping slave soldiers, and everywhere they passed, all the slave soldiers died in their sleep.

The group had been sneaking in the camp for hundreds of meters before stopping, and then they took out the fire folds in their arms and began to set fire to the camp tents of the slave soldiers.

Although it was still winter in February, a large number of dead branches and fallen leaves also fell under the mountain, and when the Qing army first arrived, there were still people cleaning up these dead branches and leaves every day.

But after such a long fierce battle, there has long been no one to clean it.

With these flammable littered leaves, the fire in the camp quickly spread, and in a moment it spread to the entire right-wing slave camp of the Qing army.

"It's on fire!"

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

。。。。。。

The huge fire quickly woke up the sleeping slaves, and they rushed out of the tents, shouting as they ran.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Just when the entire right-wing slave army camp was boiling, countless points of light suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests at the bottom of the Lion Rock next to it, and a cold general order sounded in the night.

"Woohoo!"

Hundreds of fire bolts quickly shot down, flying towards the already burning slave camp.

"Ahhh~"

Some of the slave soldiers who were about to flee to Lion Rock were buried directly under the rockets.

"Enemy attack! Run! ”

"Run!"

Seeing this, the slave soldiers, who were already frightened by the fire, fled directly and fled to both sides, no matter how the generals drank the order.

"Boom!"

"Kill, don't mess up, those who run away die!"

The chaos lasted for only a few minutes, and the edge of the slave army's camp sounded the sound of dense horses' hooves, and it was Haoge, who reacted, mobilized the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry under his command to come, and was constantly blocking the rout of the slave army.

However, at this time, the entire right-wing slave army camp was completely surrounded by fire, coupled with the continuous attacks of those black-clothed people and archers on Lion Rock, the entire camp was in chaos, and no matter how these fierce Eight Banners Iron Cavalry slashed and drank, they still couldn't stop the slave soldiers from escaping.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Just when Haoge led his troops to suppress the right-wing slave camp, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing outside the left-wing slave camp, and countless fires suddenly appeared outside the pitch-black camp, and a soldier in yellow armor began to attack the slave camp under the leadership of Li Dingguo.

"Drive!"

"Ahh

"Ahh

In the night, Li Dingguo took the lead, brandishing the spear in his hand and taking the lead in the slave barracks, followed by dozens of personal guard cavalry.

Most of the generals of the entire left-wing slave battalion were attracted by the chaos of the right-wing slave battalion, and they might as well have the enemy army behind them, and they were defenseless in the face of the sudden Li Dingguo's army, and they were killed by surprise, and before they could organize a resistance, they were killed by Li Dingguo's army.

Everywhere I passed, there was a rain of blood.

The army led by Li Dingguo had a total of 2,000 people, forming a neat array and constantly covering and killing in the slave camp.

This army was composed of elite soldiers selected from the army under his command after Li Dingguo occupied He Jiao and Ji'an counties, and he raised silver taels and purchased 2,000 sets of yellow fine iron armor from Sima Yu to arm.

In the previous battle with the Qing army, no matter how critical the situation was, Li Dingguo did not use this army, and held out for two months, just to wait for the moment when the Qing army was relaxed.

In the face of the powerful 2,000 ironclad infantry, the people had long been panicked, and where did the exhausted slave army dare to fight, and they collapsed.

Nearly 20,000 slave troops were chased and killed by Li Dingguo's army, which had only 2,000 troops, and fled in all directions.

For a time, the entire Qing army camp was in chaos.
