Chapter 455: Take the initiative
The sergeants under his command have taken turns to rest, but Yang Xiu and the generals who came with him did not dare to rest at will, this time Yang Xiu except for Xu Huang to stay in the camp to guard, all the other major generals have been brought here, in order to be able to complete the battle, in this woods, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu stared closely at the depression on their side, and did not dare to relax for a moment, after all, they were going to face Liu Feng, who had already hit them twice in a row......
In the blink of an eye, the time had passed, and Yang Xiu, who was originally calm and relaxed, began to look in the direction of Wancheng frequently, although he repeatedly warned himself in his heart that he must be as patient as an old hunter quietly waiting for his prey, but what he really calculated in his heart was what would happen if his plan was miscalculated.
Yang Xiu's mentality of suffering from gains and losses, it is really difficult to become a qualified marching commander, every time he makes a decision, every time he waits, it is not like Liu Feng, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang enjoys this process, but like a torment, but he has never shown it to outsiders, he originally wanted to rely on the incomparably strong military strength of Wei State to directly smooth the world for Cao Zhi, but when he really got to this position, he realized that the war was not a dispatch of 300,000 troops, will directly kill the opponent's 100,000 people, and what he doesn't know is that the war seems to be a contest of strategy and strategy on the surface, but it is more of a duel of mentality and belief......
Just after midnight, Yang Xiu barely mustered up his spirits and continued to wait for Liu Feng, in fact, just like the scene that Yang Xiu had been looking forward to in his heart, the north gate of Wancheng was quietly opened at this time, and a team of people and horses went out of the city in the night, and secretly assembled outside the city gate.
But the next scene was not what Yang Xiu expected, I saw Liu Feng taking the lead at this time, and after nearly 50,000 troops left the city, he discussed with several generals under his command, and then he and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led most of them in one direction, and the remaining nearly 10,000 people, all of them were cavalry, and they did not go north under the leadership of Ma Chao, but quickly sneaked behind a low hill on the edge of the city.
This whole process only lasted for a stick of incense, because Yang Xiu's troops were all concentrated in the woods next to the depression, and there were not many scouts patrolling the night tonight, plus Liu Feng deliberately hidden, this rapid action was not known to the Wei army, only Zhou Yu was left in Wancheng City at this time, and Pang Tong led 20,000 soldiers to guard, but no one knew......
Except for Liu Feng himself, no one knows where he took his sergeants to, and Ma Chao's 10,000 cavalry also disappeared in the vast night, at this time in the suburbs of the north gate of Wancheng, it can be said that the wind is surging, 300,000 people with armor are all dormant between the mountains and plains, it is conceivable that this night must be turbulent, blood flowed into a river, but at least until this moment, it is still a calm scene.
When approaching Yin, it was the time when he slept the deepest in the night, Yang Xiu and other Wei generals at this time also insisted with red eyes, Yang Xiu had already begun to calculate in his heart at this time, in case Liu Feng did not come here this night, he would have to change with those sergeants stationed in the camp the next day, otherwise just staying up late like this would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of these armies.
Yang Xiu can have this idea, it is also human nature, if it is calculated according to the hour, even if Liu Feng sends a large army to come after the end of the day, then the sky will be dawn after less than an hour, Yang Xiu believes that Liu Feng will not take risks at this point in time, because once he is discovered, he can escape back to Wancheng by taking advantage of the night, but what Yang Xiu doesn't know is that if he doesn't do the opposite, it won't be Liu Feng......
Among the Wei army camps.
Xu Huang waited anxiously in the camp for news from the front, and the remaining defenders in the camp were all scattered in the tents on the periphery, creating the illusion that there were still 250,000 troops in these camps.
But this kind of illusion can't blind Liu Feng, just after Yinshi, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others have already led the army to quietly arrive, to the place where they are only two or three miles away from the camp, and the detour is to the westernmost part of the camp, this end is the farthest place from the depression that is located in the east at this time where those large engineering equipment are placed, and it is also the farthest place from Wancheng. But there were very few sergeants standing and patrolling outside, and it didn't look like a camp with more than 200,000 troops stationed there.
These camps of the Wei army, in order to support each other and set up a corner, there is a certain distance between each other, in case Liu Feng used a strategy to attack the camp, in the previous days, such an arrangement did play a big role, but in today's situation, it is obvious that such an arrangement can only bring destruction to these sparse and scattered Wei soldiers in various camps, the same is about 50,000 people and horses, on the one hand, Liu Feng's attack is unprepared, unexpected, launched from the shadows, On the other hand, the Wei army who thinks that he is just a suspicious soldier here is a left-behind soldier of the Wei army, and he makes a judgment from above!
After confirming that there were indeed only forty or fifty thousand horses in this camp, and they were completely defenseless, Liu Cover showed a cold look, and then gestured to Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, both of them took a part of the men and horses to the left and right, and the action here is related to whether there will be enough time to bring the large siege equipment in those depressions back to Wancheng, so there is no room for error, Liu Feng personally led the army here, and there is also his own reason.
The Wei army in the camp, most of them were asleep at this time, how did they know that the danger was already coming, Xu Huang was conscientiously waiting for Yang Xiu's news in his tent, but unfortunately, the location where Liu Feng and the others were preparing to attack was not in the same area as the camp where he was.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
As an arrow full of fire-burning things pierced the night sky and shot into the camp, Liu Feng led more than 20,000 of the most elite soldiers of Wancheng who had been behind him at this time to rush into the camp of the Wei army......
