Chapter Seventy-Eight: Burning Zhang Shan'an
Su Hu'er, the general of the Liang army, would never have dreamed that his opponent, the Sui army, would be so bold as to dare to come out and attack the camp.
According to the conventional thinking, it is good, Su Hu'er thinks that the Sui army is full of 4,000 men and horses, and it is good to be able to defend the city today, do you still want to attack the camp with this little soldier and horse?
It's one thing how Suhul thinks, it's what should have happened or what happened.
In the middle of the night, the Sui army left the east gate and disappeared into the night. Some people walked in the direction of the south gate of Yuzhang City, and some people walked in the direction of the north gate, and the Sui army soldiers divided into two roads to attack the Liang army camp outside the north and south gates at the same time.
Why not take the South Gate and the North Gate instead of taking a detour to the East Gate? In that case, it will be much shorter!
This is the result of Sui Jun's caution, the way to open the north and south gates is closer, but you also have to be careful about being discovered by Liang Jun, it's always good to be careful in everything, isn't it just to take a few more steps!
Liang Jun was exhausted after a tiring day, and at this time he had already slept without knowing who was going to know, and the entire camp was completely immersed in silence.
There were still a few guards on duty at the gate, but they also fell asleep with the barrel of their guns.
In the darkness, a few people quietly touched over, and shot at these sentry posts with bows and arrows from the gap in the gate, "Whoosh...... Whoosh" several bow and arrow colleagues shot and hit the Liang soldiers, and the short sleep turned into a permanent sleep.
In fact, it doesn't make much difference if you can't touch these sentry posts, the Sui military has already explored them first, and Zhang Shan'an's gang said that they were the army, which was not regular at all. Not to mention the secret sentry, there is not even a corner tower, what can the role of a soldier who only leaves a few people on duty at the gate?
Now that the Sui army is in the city, even if they find out, it will be useless, and it will be too late.
The purpose of the Sui army in doing this was only to act calmly.
The Liang army's sentry posts were gone, and these Sui soldiers began to be hectic for a while. Some people took out ropes and tied the pillars of the gate, some people led the horses, several horses lassoed the ropes, and several cavalry at the same time urged the horses to run forward, and with a bang, the Liang army's gate was pulled down.
What happened here was happening at the same time in other Yuanmen, and the Sui army had already surrounded the Liang army camp.
At this time, a large number of troops had already come up, lined up in formation and began to shoot rockets at the battalion of the Liang army, "whoosh...... Whoosh", the bow and arrow drew a line of fire to illuminate the dark sky, and flew towards the tent of the Liang military camp like a small fire dragon.
"Puff puff...... Poof"
The flammable military tent instantly burst into flames, turning into daylight in an instant.
The Sui army advanced as they shot arrows, and the firelight extended inward from the periphery of the camp.
As soon as the fire on this side was ignited, several other fires were also ignited, and the entire camp of the Liang army instantly turned into a sea of fire.
This time it was chaotic, the Liang soldiers in their sleep, some people who were smart enough to sleep woke up, and they quickly reacted and quickly rushed out of the camp, and those who couldn't wake up fell asleep permanently.
Some ran out shirtless, while others burst out with flames on their bodies.
Those who ran out might not be able to flee for their lives, and there were already people waiting there outside.
"Kneel and surrender without killing!"
The entire camp was ablaze and the sound of killing was continuous, and it spread far and wide in the middle of the night......
Those who surrendered were spared, and those who resisted were shot on the spot.
Sui soldiers advanced from the outside in, shot the rebels, and captured the Liang soldiers who surrendered.
The Liang army's southern city camp is only 1,000 people, and the northern camp is 2,000 people, and the camp is not large. From the beginning of the assault to the end, it took half an hour to complete the full count.
All those who resisted, including Zhang Shan'an, were shot, and the Sui army quickly withdrew with their captives, leaving only the still burning camp.
The north and south directions outside Yuzhang City burst into flames, reflecting the night sky, and finally woke up Suhu'er outside the West City.
Su Hu'er, who got the report, came to the outside of the big tent in his clothes, raised his head to see the red light in the night sky, and thought to himself, Zhang Shan'an is finished.
Nima, this Sui army is too bold, right? This little soldier and horse dare to come out and attack the camp!
Do you want to go out to the rescue?
Su Hu'er was a little entangled, it was late at night, and it was dark outside, who knew if there was an ambush?
Although the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Liang army will not be afraid of the Sui army, there are many variables in the dark night!
Forget it, it's too late to go, the camp is burned down, do you still want me to put out the fire!
Besides, if they had come to deal with me tonight, and had set up an ambush to wait for me to take the bait, it would have been miserable, and it would not be a good deal anyway.
As for Zhang Shan'an and his 3,000 army, hehe, what should I do if I die or live?
So, Suhul decided to stay put.
Su Hu'er's decision was undoubtedly correct, even if he sent troops out to rescue, it would be too late, and by the time they arrived, the Sui army would have already withdrawn.
Besides, the Sui army accepted Song Hui's lesson from the last time, and attached great importance to vigilance, and in the darkness did not know how many eyes were staring at Su Hu'er's camp.
Su Huer not only could not go out of the camp to rescue Zhang Shan'an, but also gathered the soldiers in the camp to prevent the Sui army from attacking.
The possibility of the Sui army attacking the Suhuer camp is extremely low, and the problem is that it has to be guarded against!
I didn't expect the Sui army to attack at night before, but now it's not happening, so be prepared!
You say that this doesn't toss people, who can stand fighting during the day and can't sleep at night!
Although the soldiers were reluctant, there was nothing they could do, and the military orders had to be carried out when they were issued, and tens of thousands of troops were placed on vigilant guard at the guardrails of the camp.
The shouting and killing outside gradually faded away, leaving only a red light in the sky.
Su Hu'er thought to herself, probably the battle over there is over, I wonder if Zhang Shan'an and they are still safe?
So, Suhuer sent scouts to the north and south camps to investigate the situation.
Soon, the soldiers returned to report that the northern and southern camps had been burned to ashes, and that there was no one inside, and that Zhang Shan'an's army had been wiped out.
Yes, as Su Hu'er expected, it was useless to go, Zhang Shan'an was finished.
After waiting for a while, there was indeed no movement outside, and Su Hu'er was relieved, probably the Sui army had already withdrawn to sleep.
So, Suhuer ordered that the soldiers who were on guard should be left behind, and the others would go back to sleep.
In fact, not only Su Hu'er was alarmed, but even Lu Chang was also alarmed.
The main army led by Lu Chang did not go far at all, he was waiting for the right opportunity to take Su Hu'er to the end.
Su Hu'er successively sent two groups of people to report to Xiao Miao, and Lu Chang knew about it. When yesterday's messenger left, Lu Chang was relieved, and Xiao Mo soon knew the strength of the Sui army in Yuzhang City.
Lu Chang's goal has been achieved, and Su Hu'er will be worthless, so the next step is to clean up Su Hu'er.
When it was discovered that the Liang army was encircling the north and south camps outside Yuzhang City and had a fire, Lu Chang knew that this was a night attack on the enemy camp by Xin Wen, Gong Chen and others.
Lu Chang was a little happy in his heart, these boys have made rapid progress......
