Chapter 695: Night Attack on Song Camp

"King, there is a situation on the shut!" Zhang Xian rushed into the tooth tent, Hong Sheng reported.

"Huh? What's the situation? Xu Weizheng and a group of generals were studying the map there, and when they heard this, everyone turned their heads.

Zhang Xian wiped his sweat and stepped forward quickly: "In the past few days, I have commanded the troops to transport soil and stones, and I have been observing the pass, and since yesterday, the actions of defending the enemy at Yangliang Pass have been quite frequent. According to the observation of the lower ranks, the enemy forces have been stockpiling equipment. It's possible that it's because of reinforcements! ”

This is not good news, now the western army has not filled in the land, but the other side's reinforcements arrived first. Xu Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment, and asked, "How long will it take at the earliest?" ”

Zhang Xian immediately replied: "It will take at least two days." ”

"Hurry up, make sure you meet the deadline. It's getting hotter and hotter and can't be delayed any longer. Xu Wei instructed.

"Yes." Zhang Xian responded, turned around and walked out of the account, and one person rushed in coldly, and almost didn't bump into him. looked closely, but it was a soldier under his command.

"King, Zhang Jingluo, defend the enemy and send a crossbow! Brother Righteous Brother is afraid to go forward! The soldier yelled.

"What?" Zhang Xian looked a little incredulous. There is a distance of at least five or six hundred steps from the gate to the construction site, and even the divine arm bow cannot reach this shè process, could it be ......

"Check it out." Xu Wei waved his hand. Zhang Xian didn't say much, turned around and ran out of the tooth tent, and when he came to the place of the incident with the soldier and horse, he saw that the construction site that had been filled in most of it was empty. Only dozens of huge javelins remained! Of course Zhang Xian knows what this is, one shot and three swords and arrows! This is the giant arrow of the eight-ox crossbow shè!

Damn, close the enemy and add an eight-bull crossbow! Eight bull crossbow, is commonly known, the official name is called "three-bow bed crossbow", by two positive and one reverse three bows together shè giant arrows, can shè a thousand steps, "the city fortress is destroyed, the building is also upside down". No wonder the brothers of the rebels shrank back, and saw that in that scene, those who were unfortunately hit by the arrows had already been crucified to the ground.

"Zhang Jingluo, what should I do? The king strictly controls the construction period, who would dare to go up with this eight-bull crossbow fired? The general asked.

Zhang Xian looked around and said in a deep voice: "You can't stop, you command them to carry more earth and stones, move to the front, and don't enter the Eight Bull Crossbow." After speaking, he hurried to the camp.

The Jin army in Yangliang Beiguan had a crossbow of eight bulls, and they couldn't work during the day, so Zhang Xian found a way to steal the construction at night. Fortunately, it was the beginning of the month, and there was no moon at night, otherwise it would have been detected by the enemy. Even so, the defenders also sent out a round of shè at night from time to time to harass them. This is how the rebels risked their lives and rushed to work overnight.

But the next day, the defenders found out that the Song army was working at night. That night, almost every other hour, a round of huge arrows would be fired when it was closed, which caused great difficulties for the construction. Zhang Xian ordered a temporary halt and waited until before dawn before the assault for a while.

It is obviously impossible to complete the project in five days according to the original plan. It was not until the eighth day that the project gradually came to an end, and it was conservatively estimated that as long as it could work for two hours tonight, the Weiyuan cannon would be able to be erected tomorrow. For this reason, Xu Wei specially called Zhang Xian and strictly ordered that it must be completed this evening, and the army will start to detain the customs tomorrow. Zhang Xian also promised that it would be completed tonight, otherwise he would be willing to be a military lawyer!

On the ninth day of the fifth month, in the evening.

After a day of scorching, the earth seemed to be steaming hot after nightfall. In the small village of the righteous army before the camp of the Western Army, most of the brave men were shirtless, they had just had dinner, which was very good, and the top understood their hard work for days, and specially comforted them tonight. Not only ròu, but all those who work in front of the front and take risks have to have two large bowls of wine, eat and drink refreshingly!

Now, I look forward to finishing the work tonight, and tomorrow the army will break through this pass and go straight to Taiyuan! At that time, Hedong will be recovered, and I am afraid it will not be far away!

"Hey, it's weird, usually at this time, the Jin army has already issued ballistas, why don't you see movement today?" Someone wondered. The sky was dark, and I couldn't see who said it.

"Can you say something nice? Could it be that you are still expecting them to fire ballistas? The companion rebuked.

"Phew, what am I expecting it for? I've been worried for days, and tonight I'm finally going to come out. ”

"That's it, tonight, our brothers will work hard, and tomorrow we will watch the Western Army attack, attack the pass, and kill all these **máo, motherfuckers!"

"What time is it? If it's early, I'll sleep for a while. ”

"Sleep, sleep, morning, you sleep up, I'm afraid you haven't done yet."

"So I really slept? If the chief comes, you'll have to wake me up. ”

Who knows, not long after this person fell asleep, when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard his companion shouting: "Zhang Dashuai is here!" In a panic, he jumped up from the grass, and when he heard a laugh, he knew that it was his companion playing nòng, so he scolded and fell back to his heart.

Lying on the grass naked, I can't help but feel a little itchy, and occasionally there are insects and mosquitoes to disturb it. This person finally fell asleep, in the dream only saw that the army broke through Yangliang Pass, all the way to Taiyuan Mansion, he also carried a big flag in Taiyuan City to wave vigorously, who knew that he was not careful, stepped on the air, fell from the city!

"Oh yes!" With an exclamation, he sat up suddenly. Looking around, the companions next to them were all there, some were lying down, some were sitting, either asleep, napping, and even snoring. This sleep, I don't know how long he slept, he yawned, stood up lazily, and stretched.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of neat footsteps, mixed with the clanging of weapons and armor, which came closer and closer, apparently coming from behind.

After a while, I saw a group of men and horses passing by their stockade in the middle of the night, and several dark shadows walked into the camp, talking as they walked. He hurriedly shouted, "Brothers! Hurry up, someone's coming! At this shout, the surrounding rebel soldiers woke up each other, and they all stood up one after another.

"Why isn't it in the tent?" A majestic voice asked.

"The prayer is a little fair, and the weather is hot, and the brothers prefer to stay outside." The voice of the rebels knew that it was their leader. And the Jingluo in his mouth must be Qin Fengjing's strategy to appease the deputy envoy Zhang Xian and Zhang Dashuai.

After hearing this, Zhang Xian asked loudly: "How many times did the Jin army send crossbows?" ”

"Not once."

"Exactly, the villains still think it's strange, usually at this time, Jin Jun has been shè for two or three rounds, but today there is no movement."

When Zhang Xian heard this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, it was the second watch at this time, and the Jin army didn't fire a single arrow? At this time, the general of the righteous army next to him said: "Marshal, do you want to start work?" ”

Zhang Xian felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Don't worry, wait a while." ”

After waiting for about half an hour, he didn't see anything unusual, but Zhang Xian was still not at ease. Summoned one of his subordinates and instructed: "Go to the camp and ask the king to send a hundred thunderbolts, quickly." ”

After the general was ordered to leave, he called the leader of the rebel army and asked him to send hundreds of people to work on the construction site first, but there was a police situation, so he just turned around and ran back.

After a while, hundreds of volunteers approached the construction site in the middle of the night, carrying earth and rocks, and began to fill in. And the 100 thunder archers transferred from the camp were also arranged by Zhang Xian on the edge of the construction site. Everyone didn't understand what he meant, only Zhang Xian's subordinates knew that Da Shuai was the enemy. The situation is abnormal tonight, the Jin army does not send a giant crossbow, it may be that he wants to make other famous halls.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound in the air! On the construction site ahead, the volunteer soldiers screamed in surprise, turned around and ran! Almost at the same time, on the hillside directly in front of the construction site, there was a shout of killing!

"Donkey Day! I still want to sneak attack! ”

"Run the thunder arrow, and let the rebels release it as soon as they pass!" Zhang Xian shouted.

The construction site is very wide, and hundreds of volunteer soldiers are running wildly! Soon, a moving black cháo appeared behind them! The other party shouted loudly, and I don't know how many people came!

"Steady! Hold your horses! Zhang Xian shouted. The distance is too far, and it is almost the same as setting off firecrackers for others. Hundreds of volunteers rushed past the thunderbolts, and they could already see the golden army rushing towards them! From time to time, there were flashes of fire in the crowd on the other side, and it seemed that they not only wanted to sneak attack, but also wanted to take the opportunity to burn down the Song camp.

"Put!" Zhang Xian broke off. The voice fell, and the thunder archers who had already prepared lit the medicine line! I saw a ball of fireworks rushing forward! In the blink of an eye, it has burned into the quiver!

When the thunder arrows roared out of the quiver with tail flames, the Song army's side finally saw the incoming enemy through the firelight! There are not many people, just a thousand people, all with short soldiers, swarming! But they obviously didn't expect the Song army to be prepared, so when the Ben Thunder Arrow attacked head-on, they didn't even have time to dodge!

The explosion exploded in the crowd, and the Jin army's offensive was immediately stopped! The soldiers screamed and screamed incessantly, just like the rebels before them, turned around and ran! However, the U-turn in front and the unknown truth in the back are still rushing forward, pushing and trampling each other, and it is a big luàn for a while!

At this moment, there were rebels next to him, as if they wanted to rush up and beat the water dogs. Fortunately, the officer of the Western Army stopped it in time, and you chased and killed at this time, do you want to be the target of the Eight Bull Crossbow?

After a period of confusion, the Jin army, who came to sneak attack, crawled back to the mountain. Zhang Xian sent someone to touch a few people who were not dead and brought them back to the camp for interrogation. Although he thwarted the enemy's sneak attack, he was not happy, because it meant that he would not want to work tonight. The army launched a strong attack, and had to push back.

After interrogating the captives, he learned that Yangliang Beiguan had indeed received reinforcements from Taiyuan. The number of troops is unknown, but they brought a lot of heavy equipment, including a giant crossbow and a batch of firearms. Moreover, the guard general has also changed, it is said that he is a Jurchen general, and today's sneak attack is "three fires for new officials to take office", but I didn't expect that the Song army was not burned, but was burned by the Song army.
