Chapter 183: Night Attack on the Tartar Camp

On the afternoon of the day when Zhang Shihua led the 500 soldiers under his command to shoot at the Tartar defenders. www.biquge.info In a mountain forest almost forty miles north of Nanyang Mansion City, Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihui led 800 Red Turban soldiers under their command, and finally walked out of here unkempt.

Looking at the plain scene outside the mountains and forests, Zhang Shihui, as the deputy commander of the 800-person team, couldn't help but sigh and said: "Damn, it took two and a half days to finally tell Lao Tzu to get out of this ghost forest. ”

Seeing Zhang Shihui like this, Zhao Jiu beside him couldn't help but be chuckled by Zhang Shihui's embarrassed appearance, but after chuckling, Zhao Jiu looked at the sky, and then saw him raise his fist with a majestic face and shouted at the eight hundred soldiers behind him: "Everyone, rest in place, and after two quarters of an hour, march southward." Be sure to walk me forty miles before the sun goes down. ”

Hearing Zhao Jiu's roar, the red turban soldiers, who were still happy because they had walked out of the mountains and forests, immediately put away the smiles on their faces after Zhao Jiu's roar. All of them found a secret place for each other to rest, eat, and replenish their strength at the first time.

And two quarters of an hour later, these eight hundred soldiers also regrouped their formations, and under the leadership of Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihui, they rushed towards the city of Nanyang Mansion.

The march of the eight hundred Red Turban soldiers was fast, even though they had already traveled for two and a half days. But when these men marched again on the plain, they did not see their tired posture at all.

It is only said that after a few hours of rapid marching, when the sun was setting, these people really walked forty miles and arrived in a small forest seven or eight miles north of the camp of the officers and soldiers guarding the city of Nanyang Prefecture.

By the time the 800 Red Turban sergeants arrived in the woods, it was already dark. Therefore, after entering the forest, Zhao Jiu also ordered all the soldiers to rest in place and eat the last dry food they carried.

However, after eating, Zhao Jiu would not directly take them to fight with the enemy seven or eight miles away. After all, although it is now dark, those officers and soldiers must not have slept yet, and it is obviously impossible for the sneak attack to succeed now.

Therefore, Zhao Jiu and the others had to wait for an hour and a half, and when the sky was completely dark and those Tartar officers and soldiers were asleep, they would prepare for a sneak attack on the march.

However, although Zhao Jiu's side was already ready for a sneak attack, neither Zhang Shihua nor Tartar knew about Zhao Jiu's sneak attack on the Tartar camp tonight. After all, there is no mobile phone in this year, and Zhang Shihua does not have a carrier pigeon for communication in their hands, nor can they fly pigeons to pass on books.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua doesn't know that Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihui have now brought people to the battlefield here.

However, although Zhang Shihua didn't know that Zhao Jiu and they had successfully come to the battlefield here. But there is one thing that Zhang Shihua knows very well, that is, the sneak attack time he and Zhao Jiu agreed on, "it is tonight".

Therefore, after nightfall, Zhang Shihua had already sent an order to the officers and men of the whole army under his command, asking them to wait for them tonight and be ready to respond to Zhao Jiu's night attack at any time.

However, just when Zhang Shihua and Zhao Jiu were both ready to attack at night. Their enemy, the Semu General Iribis who commanded the four thousand officers and soldiers guarding the river outside Nanyang City, was quite relaxed.

Because two times in a row, the attack of the Red Turban Army failed. Whether it was last night's sneak attack or this morning's counter-shooting, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army failed to attack the riverbank. Although it is said that under the attack of the Red Turban Army in these two times, he suffered some small losses.

But what is this, isn't his barracks in Izibis still safe and secure?

"Hmph, as long as I hold on for a few days, when Lord Yexian and His Royal Highness King Wei's army of thieves arrive, I will be completely at ease. When the time comes, he may be able to beat the water dogs and make a fortune from these damn red turban thieves to wash away his shame. ”

Thinking like this, after drinking two glasses of wine, Iribis, a good wine general, couldn't help but fall asleep with satisfaction.

However, just after he fell asleep, in the north of his camp, Zhao Jiu also led the eight hundred red turban soldiers under his command to quickly approach here.

At this time, it was already late at night, and most of the officers and soldiers had already fallen asleep. Of course, there are also these 1,000 river sentinels who are still loyal to their duties. However, this time, Zhao Jiu and the others did not come from the east of the river at all, and these river guards were useless to them. Therefore, Zhao Jiu and the others easily avoided these river guards.

And after evading these river guards, Zhao Jiu and the others naturally went straight to the camp of the officers and soldiers guarding the river from the rear.

They were fast, their movements small, and it was dark. Therefore, Zhao Jiu and his eight hundred soldiers have been rushing to within one mile of the camp of these river-guarding soldiers, and no one has found their traces.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiu and the others simply stopped being cautious. After all, they all rushed to kill here, and these river guards didn't notice it, and even if they did, it would be too late. So at this moment, these 800 Red Turban Army soldiers, under Zhao Jiu's shout, all raised their swords and shouted to kill the Tartars, and then frantically rushed towards the Tartar camp not far away.

"Kill the Tartars! ~~" The incomparably loud shouts of killing, in this incomparably quiet night, it was as if it tore the sky. After the defenders in the camp were awakened by the shouts of killing, they only felt that there were overwhelming shouts of killing, and they couldn't tell how many enemy troops there were.

Therefore, under the fear, these officers and soldiers who were awakened by the shouting of killing couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

Moreover, because in the dark night, the officers and soldiers could not accept the command of the generals at all. Therefore, in the face of such an unexpected situation, these farmers and soldiers who have not received much training can't help but be like headless flies, and they don't know what to do next.

Now they only knew that they subconsciously picked up the weapons in their hands and ran in the opposite direction of the shouting and killing, and they had no intention of resisting Zhao Jiu's attack at all.

And these officers and soldiers are so unbearable, naturally they are cheap to Zhao Jiu and them. A full 800 soldiers of the Red Turban Army, under the leadership of Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihui, rushed into the chaotic camp of officers and soldiers.

Of course, at the beginning of the chaos, there were indeed officers and soldiers who were not brave enough to try to resist Zhao Jiu and them. However, what kind of person Zhao Jiu is, following Zhang Shihua, fighting dozens of battles, how could he ever meet an opponent.

Therefore, those officers and soldiers who tried in vain to resist the Red Turban Army, in Zhao Jiu's opinion, were completely like chickens and dogs, and they were not vulnerable at all.

"Yikes! A certain is Zhao Jiu under the account of Zhang Wanhu of the Nanyang Red Turban Army, who dares to fight me! Such an earth-shattering shout came out of Zhao Jiu's mouth. When the officers and soldiers around heard this, they immediately couldn't help but turn around and look.

But when they turned around and looked at it, they couldn't help but be terrified. It turned out that this roaring Zhao Jiu was covered in blood at this time, not to mention, and he was still carrying the heads of these Tartar officers and soldiers in his hands.

Seeing this scene, who still has the courage to stop such a peerless fierce god. Therefore, after Zhao Jiu shouted these words, these officers and soldiers around him threw down the blades in their hands one by one, and fled in the opposite direction to Zhao Jiu.

"The general is the courage of the army" Zhao Jiu is so brave and invincible, and the remaining 800 Red Turban soldiers are naturally high morale. Therefore, after seeing the officers and soldiers fleeing, these 800 Red Turban Army soldiers couldn't help but shout "General is mighty", so they also carried knives and axes and followed Zhao Jiu forward to kill.

In this way, these 800 soldiers of the Red Turban Army, at this moment, were like a sharp blade, with an unstoppable momentum, towards the Chinese army camp of nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers guarding the river.

And the words were divided into two ends, just when Zhao Jiu and the others rushed to the Chinese army camp guarded by the officers and soldiers, Zhang Shihua, who had already been prepared, naturally commanded more than 3,000 elite soldiers under his command to kill the officers and soldiers on the opposite bank as soon as he heard the shouts of killing from Zhao Jiu and them on the other side.

"Meritorious deeds, just tonight, brothers, rush!" More than 3,000 red turban soldiers and soldiers looked at Zhao Jiu's enemy camp on the other side of the river, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land. At that moment, it was as if they had taken a stimulant, and they were all rowing hard like a desperate person, so that they were afraid that they would not be able to reap the merits of the battle if they took a step.

And just by looking at the high morale of the Red Turban Army, you can also know what the state of the Tartar officers and soldiers is now. These Tartar officers and soldiers who were attacked at night, under the joint attack of Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihua, it was simply chaotic.

Those who throw away their armor and flee for their lives, those who surrender on their knees with their heads in their hands, and those who go crazy and slash with knives and nonsense, there are really all kinds of things. However, for these Tartar officers and soldiers who were almost stupid, Zhao Jiu and they didn't pay much attention to them.

Because Zhao Jiu knew that the most important thing now was not how many enemies he killed, but to kill the defenders of the Tartars in the shortest possible time.

Because people are like this, the more chaotic and fearful they are, the more they will subconsciously move closer to the position of the leader and seek the protection of the leader. Therefore, during the night attack, if the enemy's commander is not killed as soon as possible, then a force of men and horses will gather around the commander in a few moments.

And when that time comes, even if Zhao Jiu can win, he will undoubtedly pay a lot of price. Therefore, Zhao Jiu didn't have time to pay attention to these people at this time, what he needed most now was to kill the Chinese army camp of the Tartar army in the first time to carry out his beheading operation.

"Get out of here, death to those who stand in my way." At this time, Zhao Jiu, who was covered in blood, held a thick-backed steel knife, his eyes were red, and he led his eight hundred soldiers to rush to the front like a madman, and any enemy soldiers who tried to block him or obstruct his path were mercilessly slashed by him with a knife.

Killing all the way, Zhao Jiu was already covered in blood from head to toe, and the appearance of roaring with a knife was like a Shura in hell. Therefore, on this road, few officers and soldiers dared to stop Zhao Jiu and them, and Zhao Jiu rushed to the Chinese army camp in the shortest possible time with the eight hundred red scarf soldiers under his command.

And when Zhao Jiu led his troops to rush to the camp of the Tartar army. On the other side, Zhang Shihua had already led more than 3,000 elite soldiers under his command to cross the water and begin to land on the shore to kill. However, at this time, Zhao Jiu obviously couldn't wait for Zhang Shihua and them any longer.

Because when Zhao Jiu led his troops to the camp of the Chinese army of the Tartars, as the commander of the Tartar army here, Izbisi had already taken the assembled more than 1,000 people and horses, abandoned the camp, led the team, and was retreating towards Nanyang City, which was not far from them.

At this time, there were actually two thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Nanyang City. And the two thousand soldiers and horses defending the city naturally noticed the fierce battle that broke out outside the city for a long time. However, because it was late at night, the 4,000 officers and soldiers guarding the river were obviously inferior again. Therefore, as the deputy Wanhu of Nanyang Prefecture, the general of Semu Jida, did not dare to lead the army out of the city at this time.

Without reinforcements, as an officer and soldier of Nanyang Mansion, Yi Ribis naturally knew that there was no possibility of victory on his side. So after gathering a thousand men and horses, he was also busy fleeing to Nanyang City, hoping to save his life.

And besides, Zhao Jiu at this time, when Zhao Jiu saw Yi Ribis leading more than 1,000 people under his command, and hurriedly fled to the Nanyang Mansion City in the rear. Zhao Jiu, who was originally in a hurry to behead, was not in a hurry at this time.

"Whatever you want, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to take Nanyang Mansion City. No, I can't push too hard at this time, and the province will scare the soldiers who defend the city in Nanyang City so much that they don't dare to open the city gate. As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Jiu, who was originally rushing to kill extremely quickly, couldn't help but lead the eight hundred red scarf soldiers under his command to slow down.

Eight hundred soldiers, in an unhurried attitude, hung on the back of the buttocks of Iribis and these people, forcing them to run towards the Nanyang Mansion City behind.

It is said that if Zhao Jiu's simple plan is put in normal times, he will be able to see through it in one fell swoop. However, now is not an ordinary time, at this time, Iribis is like a lost dog, all he thinks about running for his life in his mind, how can he see through Zhao Jiu's thoughts.

Therefore, when he saw Zhao Jiu and them coming, he really followed Zhao Jiu's plan, with a thousand soldiers under his command and the tail behind him, and fled towards Nanyang Mansion City in a panic.
