Chapter 282: Night Attack

In Gan Ning's barracks, the lights were still on in the Chinese military tent, and Gan Ning had already taken off his armor and slept, but he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning, x

After tossing and turning for almost a quarter of an hour, Gan Ning simply didn't sleep at all, and came out of the account.

Gan Xing, the leader in charge of guarding the door, immediately asked, "Brother, it's not early, why hasn't my brother rested?" ”

Gan Ning stretched his arm and said, "No sleepy ears, come out to inspect, you quickly take my drape." ”

Gan Xing didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately entered the big tent, took Gan Ning's drape, and helped him put it on, and then Gan Ning took a group of guards and rode horses to inspect the camp.

Compared with the bright lights at night, the lights in the middle of the night were much darker, and many soldiers of the night vigil were sleepy and were woken up by Gan Ning and others one by one.

When he came to the gate of the camp, Gan Ning looked at the direction of Yangcheng and sighed, stood for a while, and was about to turn his horse back to the camp when he suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.

Gan Ning was born as a Jinfan thief, and has experienced many encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, and his reaction to this situation must definitely be above the generals under Cao Ju.

"Not good, enemy attack." Just after listening to a few breaths, Gan Ning's face changed greatly, and he jumped up and shouted to Gan Xing, "Pass my military order, and the whole army will be on alert immediately." ”

Gan Xing was also shocked, answered, and immediately turned around and left, carrying out Gan Ning's order.

After Gan Xing left, Gan Ning turned over and got on the horse again, holding the spear tightly in his right hand, looking in the direction of Yangcheng, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, hum, Lao Tzu is worried that you will not come out, this should be an opportunity for Lao Tzu to make contributions.

Night raids, in many operations, are generally not adopted.

The light at night will not be very good, and when attacking at night, once you break into the opponent's camp, it will be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, because the armor in ancient times will not have much difference in appearance and color.

Therefore, in the famous section of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Gan Ning's hundred horsemen robbed the Wei camp, Gan Ning ordered someone to take a hundred white goose feathers and insert them on his helmet as a number, in order to make it easier to distinguish between friend and foe in the dark.

This time the army sent troops to attack Ganning's camp at night, it was Xi Zhong's suggestion, he calculated that Ganning had no defense, and robbed Ganning's camp of 5,000 troops and horses with 10,000 horses.

Li Cheng admired Xi Zhong so much that he threw himself to the ground, although he felt that the night attack was inappropriate, but he did not hesitate, and immediately followed Xi Zhong's proposal, and went out of the east gate of the third watch, circled the city for half a week, and raided the camp of Ganning.

Li Cheng personally led the army, with horses wrapped in hooves and people holding plums, and quietly approached in the direction of the Ganning camp.

When they reached a mile, Li Chengcheng ordered the army to pause, sent a few scouts, and walked to Ganning's camp to inquire about the news, and the result was that Ganning's camp was not guarded.

Li Cheng was overjoyed, and thought to himself, Mr. Xi is really clever, tonight with 10,000 to fight 5,000, with a surprise attack unprepared, there is no doubt that he will win.

Immediately, Li Cheng waved the ring-head knife in his hand and shouted in an almost hoarse voice: "Pass my military order, the whole army will attack, go straight to the camp of the opponent's Chinese army, kill Gan Ning, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the bounty will be one hundred." ”

With the transmission of Li Cheng's military order, the morale of the defenders of Yangcheng was suddenly raised to the extreme, and the army, under the command of Li Cheng, was like a group of fierce tigers, rushing towards Ganning's camp.

The sergeant guarding the Ganning camp immediately panicked, hurriedly began to ring the bell, and at the same time was in a panic, and some sparse bows and arrows went out from the camp ****, but they did not have any power, and the shooting rate was less than one-tenth.

Li Cheng saw it clearly, and no longer had any hesitation, shouting in his mouth: "Capture Gan Ning alive, brothers, rush me." Then he rode his horse and galloped, and rushed with the army towards Ganning's camp.

Similar to this kind of night attack, of course, it is impossible to be as mentally retarded as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the leading generals are the first to rush in, but there is a possibility of being shot into a hedgehog. Therefore, when attacking at night, like Li Cheng, he would first send soldiers to rush over, observe the situation in the opponent's camp by himself, and feel that the other party had no defense, so he would rush in with the army.

The 10,000-strong army, suddenly lit torches, shouted, and rushed towards Ganning's camp, this formation was absolutely shocking, and the nearby earth trembled.

Soon, the front troops of the Yangcheng defenders rushed into Ganning's large camp, but encountered little resistance, and the defenders of the large camp retreated into the camp while shooting arrows. At the same time, many shouts sounded in the Ganning camp: "Enemy attack, all get up, enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

Li Cheng's spirit was even more invigorated, his right hand was raised higher, and he shouted loudly: "Kill, brothers, make a meritorious contribution tonight, capture Gan Ning alive for me." ”

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow broke through the air, and it was shot from the direction of the camp, and the target was Li Cheng, who was holding the ring head knife, and an arrow was shot on Li Cheng's right shoulder.

Li Cheng screamed in pain, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, which was clearly a sign that the other party had already taken precautions, and he immediately yelled: "Withdraw the army, withdraw the army quickly, the other party has an ambush." ”

However, at this time, it was a little too late to withdraw the troops, 10,000 horses, all rushed forward, Li Chengcheng was in the middle, his voice was at most conveyed to the ears of some people around him, but the people behind still rushed to the front with the intention of making meritorious contributions.

"Kill......"

At this moment, in Gan Ning's camp, there was an earth-shattering roar, and the originally sparse bow and arrow immediately stopped, and instantly turned into a rain of arrows.

The defenders of Yangcheng who rushed to the front immediately fell, and the screams rang out instantly, but after the people in front stopped, the people behind immediately crashed into them and knocked them to the ground.

Immediately, "swishing ......", or the boundless arrow rain struck again, this time it was no longer just rushing to the front, and the arrow rain was directly scattered towards all the Yangcheng defenders who rushed into the camp.

Li Cheng was still yelling hoarsely, but it didn't have much effect, and he was inevitably brought into Gan Ning's camp by the surging army.

With a "whoosh", the sound of this sharp arrow breaking through the air was absolutely different, and a meteor-like arc of arrow slashed across the night sky, hitting Li Cheng's throat in the blink of an eye.

One hundred and fifty steps away, Gan Ning waved the spear in his hand, laughed and praised Huang Xu, who was slowly retracting his bow: "Wonderful, wonderful, Zishu Divine Arrow, not under the father." ”
