Chapter 251: Rainy Night Attack

The city of Weichuan is an ancient city, which was established as early as the Warring States Period. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 As the name suggests, the castle is named Howcheon because it is located downstream of the river.

However, because the city is located on the plain, there is no danger to defend, and its own economy is not developed. Therefore, this city has been an ordinary county town since ancient times, and it should not be a famous city.

However, such an ordinary small county town, at this time, has become an extremely important place by mistake.

Because this city happened to be built on the throat road from Weishi to Xuzhou, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as this city is taken by others, then from Weishi to Xuzhou, it will take at least 300 miles to detour.

Therefore, in order to ensure all safety, Tai Buhua secretly sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the city of Weichuan long before the army started, the purpose of which was to protect the safety of the city before the war. After all, if Shihua sent people to attack this city and use the city's defense, it would be ...... Well, this small county town that has not asked about soldiers for a long time has no defense at all, and it is estimated that Zhang Shihua can take this city by sending a soldier and horse at will.

Of course, although Zhang Shihua said that in the end, because of prudence, he did not send people to attack the city. But then again, the arrangement that was not spent on it was not in vain. Because after deciding to send troops, the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in this city have obviously become the vanguard army that is too unspending.

And what Guo Yu and they want to defeat is naturally this army.

The "vanguard army" knows by looking at the name that this army is the vanguard of the army, and it has the responsibility of detecting the enemy situation and building bridges and opening roads for the army. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the men and horses of the vanguard army are extremely elite.

After all, if you let a less elite centaur be responsible for detecting the enemy in the front, wouldn't it send this group of people to death?

Therefore, the 5,000 men and horses stationed in Weichuan City are indeed rare elites. Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that it is obviously impossible for the thousand elite cavalry led by Guo Yu to destroy the five thousand elite men and horses in this city in one fell swoop.

So he could only wait for the right moment, for an opportunity to maximize the advantage of his cavalry, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness to defeat this group of enemies.

And this opportunity, at this time, is obviously not far off.

……

"General Qiyu, according to the report from the secret agent in front, the Tartar soldiers and horses of Weichuan City finally left the city an hour ago." On the evening of the second day of Guo Yu's departure, Guo Yang, as Guo Yu's deputy general, couldn't help but walk quickly to Guo Yu, who was sitting under the big tree, and said to Guo Yu.

And Guo Yu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but show a touch of joy on his face when he heard this.

"Okay, this group of guys is finally out of the city, I originally thought that this group of guys would have to wait until Tai Buhua led the men and horses to Weishui before they dared to move? It seems that the general's onslaught last night was indeed frightened by the group of Tartars in Xuzhou City. ā€

"Alright, give me the order to go down, so that the brethren are ready, and we will not show any feet at this time, and we will prepare a night attack tonight, so as to catch them by surprise."

After hearing the deputy general Guo Yang personally tell him such good news, Guo Yu smiled slightly, and couldn't help but order.

Obviously, from the conversation between these two people, we can know that Guo Yu's actions are secret. At least for now, the enemy did not know that Guo Yu had led a thousand five elite cavalry to the north of Xuzhou City.

Of course, this is also a reasonable thing. After all, Guo Yu and the others are not here to fight the enemy, but to raid, if their whereabouts are exposed, then they will raid a fart.

So, that's why Guo Yu had to set off at night. As for Zhang Shihua's onslaught last night, it was actually to cover up Guo Yu's tracks.

After all, more than a thousand cavalry, even if they march at night, the movement is too big, if they are not disguised, the enemy will definitely be able to find Guo Yu and them.

However, Zhang Shihua himself did not expect that his disguised behavior would frighten the officers and soldiers guarding Xuzhou City. It even led to the frightened Xuzhou officers and soldiers frantically asking for help from the vanguard soldiers and horses stationed in Weichuan City.

Therefore, under such a coincidence, there is the current situation. The 5,000 vanguard men stationed in Weichuan City dispatched in advance when Taibuhua led the army a day and a half away from here.

And such a time difference undoubtedly gave Guo Yu and them an excellent opportunity to raid. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Guo Yu couldn't wait to give the order for tonight's raid after hearing the news.

After all, on the ever-changing battlefield, the most taboo thing is actually the hesitation of the main general. The word "hesitation", in this case, is enough to ruin everything.

Besides, things like raids are actually the sooner the better. After all, isn't "raid, raid" just a surprise attack? If you procrastinate so that the enemy discovers the traces during the raid, then what is it called a raid, and it is almost the same as looking for death.

Therefore, from this point of view, Guo Yu's order at this moment is undoubtedly very correct. And such a correct order can obviously add a little certainty to Guo Yu's victory.

……

At night, more than 5,000 vanguard soldiers and horses were busy camping, but they never thought that when they were camping, the beautiful Tiangong was sprinkled with spring rain as expensive as oil.

"Damn, why is it raining at this time. Hurry up, hurry up and set up the tent for me first, and leave the rest alone. Anyway, we can't be attacked by black-clothed thieves now, so don't erect those wooden fences that don't exist. ā€

This expensive spring rain was obviously a very uncomfortable thing for the soldiers who camped at night. After all, the night in February can be very cold, and when it is poured by the rain, this chill is definitely cold to the bone. Therefore, in order to hide in the warm tent as soon as possible, these thousand household officials who supervised the camp couldn't help but order so impatiently.

However, this time, their impatient order was surprisingly supported by the majority of soldiers.

Therefore, under the bursts of cheers, the vast number of soldiers did not need to be urged by the generals with whips in their hands, and set up tents like mushrooms as quickly as possible. Then they went into their tents at an even faster speed.

……

"Hehe, do you see, God is helping us." An hour later, in the night, under the night rain, Guo Yu, dressed in black clothes and black armor, stood on top of a mound, overlooking the enemy camp that was as quiet as a cemetery, and couldn't help but smile at Guo Yang and the others beside him.

When the adjutant general Guo Yang and the others heard this, they also laughed and said: "General, such a good opportunity must not be missed, please give the general an order." ā€

"Hehe, okay. Come, give me the order, let all the brethren mount, and then when the horn sounds, they will charge with me! Looking at the quiet enemy camp not far away, Guo Yu smiled slightly, and finally couldn't help but order.

After hearing Guo Yu's order, the horsemen also mounted their horses one after another, so quiet that they barely made any sound.

However, a moment after the horsemen turned over and mounted their horses, a loud whistle also pierced the quiet night. Almost all the soldiers heard the loud whistle. So in the next moment, the muffled trampling sound of the war horses was accompanied by the sound of rain hitting the leaves, and pressed towards the enemy camp not far away.

Five hundred meters, the enemy is still extremely quiet; Three hundred meters, some of the soldiers who had been built on the periphery of the camp and slept relatively lightly had begun to be woken up by the muffled sound of their horses galloping; A hundred meters away, some of the soldiers who were already sleeping in their clothes came out of their tents and let out loud exclamations. But...... It's too late.

"Kill!!" Guo Yu, who was in the lead, roared like this, and then saw a blood-colored fountain rise, but it was an exclamation of officers and soldiers, and he cut off his head at once.

"Brothers, kill with me!" After riding his horse and rushing into the enemy camp, Guo Yu, who was already in control, couldn't help but wave the war knife in his hand and shouted like this.

And the more than 1,000 elite horsemen behind Guo Yu heard Guo Yu's roar, and they also spit out the copper coins in their mouths one after another, shouting 'Kill the Tartars' and follow their generals, riding horses and dancing knives to break down one tent after another, and beheading an officer and soldier who had no ability to resist under the horse.

"Oh no, the black-clad thief is here. Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Finally, the officers and soldiers who were attacked in the rainy night began to react. Therefore, these officers and soldiers hurriedly put clothes on their bodies, and at the same time, they couldn't help but shout in such a panic.

But, alas, such exclamations did not save them. Because under the rainy night, the officers and soldiers who were attacked by Guo Yu and them had no ability to resist at all, so their exclamations were just venting before they died.

……

"General Daiqin, it's not good, the black-clothed thieves have come in, and a third of our camp has been scattered by them. It's over, we're completely finished, general, let's go, let's go! A moment after Guo Yu and the others rushed into the camp of the officers and soldiers, at the camp of the Chinese army, where the camp of 5,000 officers and soldiers was located, the vanguard general Dai Qin, who was awakened by the shouts of killing outside the tent, had not had time to put on his clothes, and his personal guard commander could not help but rush into his tent and said such desperate words to him.

"What, the black-clothed army is here, how is this possible, how is this possible! Xuzhou City is still in our hands, how could they kill it! Although this general named Dai Qin had clearly heard the shouts of killing coming from outside the tent, he was hit by this desperate news, but he still couldn't help but lift the collar of the personal guard commander under his command and shouted so wildly.

"General!!" The commander of the personal guard who was holding the collar looked at Dai Qin, who was already a little crazy, and did not open his mouth to defend anything, but just yelled at Dai Qin.

And Dai Qin, who heard this roar and came to his senses a little, finally couldn't help but put down the collar of the commander in despair, and stood there in a daze, looking hesitant and desperate.

"General, there is no time, at most in a quarter of an hour, the black-clothed thief will be killed here, and even if we want to leave, it will be impossible. Before it's too late, General, come with me! Seeing Dai Qin being beaten into this appearance, this still loyal personal guard commander couldn't help but shout at him like this again.

However, Dai Qin, who was standing there, heard such a roar, but said in despair: "Escape, even if you can escape, what can you do." Before the war with the black-clothed thief, I lost 5,000 pioneers, and you think that if you escape back, it will not cost him to let me go. ā€

"If I run back, he will definitely kill me, he will definitely kill me. So we can't escape, we have to defeat this group of black-clothed thieves, only by defeating this group of black-clothed thieves, can we live, we can live! After saying this, Dai Qin couldn't help but pick up his sword and rushed out of the camp.

And when the commander of the personal guard saw Dai Qin like this, he was also surprisingly not blocked, not only did not even block it, but after gritting his teeth, he rushed out with Dai Qin.

After all, Dai Qin was right, if they fled back like this, it would be too much to kill all of them. Not only will it kill them, the great sin of defeat, but even after killing them, it will affect their family. Such a terrible result is obviously something they cannot afford.

Therefore, it is better to die here than to run back and die. Dying here, even if they are defeated, they are still loyal to the king, loyal to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely take good care of their heroic families in order not to make the people of the world cold.

So even though they are all dead, how to die, the result is still very different.

Anyway, they all know that they will die, so it doesn't need to be said which of these two ways to die. Besides, desperately resisting to the end may not be without a glimmer of life. So it is precisely for this reason that Dai Qin, who is obviously afraid of death, will choose to grit his teeth and resist.

However, his own resistance, in the face of the general trend of defeat, can only be said to be a mantis arm as a car.

"Kill the Tartar!" An exclamation sounded outside the tent of the Chinese army. Sure enough, Dai Qin, who was delusional about desperately resisting, was still beheaded by an excited pawn.

"The Lord of the Tartars will be killed by me, and the Lord of the Tartars will be killed by me!" The lucky knight couldn't help but shout. And his roar finally came to an end for this battle.

In this battle, Guo Yu's thousand five elite cavalry won a brilliant victory, and the five thousand vanguard army that did not spend too much money was not only defeated by Guo Yu in one fell swoop, but also beheaded by Guo Yu in a night of fighting. With such a large battle loss, no matter in that era, this army could already be said to be on the verge of annihilation.
