The night is as cool as water, and the wind is like waves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoUnder the faint light of the stars, the vast land is hazy and covered with deep blue colors. This is a cool summer night, but also a good day to steal camps, the sound of the Ganjiang River in the ears can eliminate most of the movement caused by the camp. Under such a good environment, if all the Liu Miao troops who had just crossed the river could be wiped out with lightning speed, then it would be a matter of course to recapture Yuzhang. Zhuge Xuan seized this opportunity, and he took about 5,000 of his men and Wei Yan, the general in charge of the operation, to quietly touch Liu Xuan's camp by the river. He's going to attack the camp.

Take advantage of Liu Miaojun's new arrival to carry out a sneak attack. This suggestion was made by Captain Wei Yan. He felt that this would make a difference. And Zhuge Xuan adopted this suggestion at today's combat meeting, because he had no way to think of it. As early as the beginning of Wei Yan's plan, he ......

"What do you think of this plan?" Zhuge Xuan threw Wei Yan's suggestion to everyone. He knew that his military talents were average, and that many people here were better than him. He is not acting independently, but letting everyone think together. Of course, he also wanted to use this to exercise the abilities of his two juniors. Although these two little ones have already shown themselves stronger than ordinary adults in some aspects, Zhuge Xuan still thinks that they are still young and still need to be tempered well.

"I don't think so." Huang Zhong was the first to object, and his rebuttal was simple: "Such a plan is too dangerous. If one is not careful, he may fall into a situation from which he will never recover. ”

"How?" Zhuge Xuan asked.

"Because the other party has Xu Shao." It was not Huang Zhong who answered Zhuge Xuan's question, but Zhuge Xuan's nephew Zhuge Liang, "Maybe Xu Shao is not a master of the art of war, but his mind is extremely meticulous. He should know where there are flaws, and what should be guarded against. When he talked about these things to his master, Liu Xuan, who was very familiar with military affairs, would definitely take precautions against this. Attacking the camp is not an unexpected tactic, as long as the other side is not so stupid, they will be on guard against it. If the other side uses this to carry out all kinds of attacks on our army, those who go out to steal the camp of our army will die for life. ”

"That can't be said of that." Wei Yan saw that his proposal was about to be rejected, and he suddenly became anxious when he was young and vigorous. He valued the plan, and thought that he could play a very important role in it. He wants to make meritorious contributions and become a hero in the limelight. He wanted to get a merit that surpassed Huang Zhong in this way.

"War itself is a gamble, and the odds of success are almost half the odds of failure. If we don't fight for fear of failure, we'll never succeed. Wei Yan said.

But it's also about distinguishing between the odds of success and the odds of failure. The so-called more scheming wins, less scheming leads to defeat. Fighting a war requires luck, but fighting a war cannot rely entirely on luck. If you follow your plan, you will only have three points for victory and seven points for defeat. Huang Zhong shook his head and retorted in a deep voice, he asked Wei Yan: "Do you have any information on this?" What exactly supported you in coming up with this plan, if it's just a matter of taking it for granted, then don't put it here. ”

Wei Yan was dumbfounded. Huang Zhong's words really hit him to the point, and he made this plan almost without any intelligence support. He really took it for granted.

He opened his mouth weakly, but he couldn't say why. But Zhuge Xuan above helped him out of the siege.

"I heard that Liu Miao is preparing to cross the river today. He originally followed Xu Shao's suggestion to repair in Yuzhang for a few days. However, after receiving the news that we had annihilated Charong in only half a day, he became anxious. Maybe he saw our weakness. We have just received the troops of Charong, and we need a process of integration in terms of combat strength and military morale. If we were to be attacked now, we would probably be like a silk scarf that would have been torn with a single stab. It can be said that we need more time than Liu Xuanjun. It is not necessary to be at your best to fight a war, in fact, as long as the enemy is more difficult than you, that battle can be fought. Liu Xuanjun won't give us the effort to trim. He's sure to chase after the team while they're still tired. Zhuge Xuan slowly said the latest news of the Tao he had obtained. Although he didn't make any comments on this, everyone in the hall could tell from his words that he was actually in favor of Wei Yan's sneak attack plan. Because in the news he said, it has been pointed out that the attacking Liu Miaojun is a tired army.

Since Liu Xianjun is a tired army, it is normal for them to make some small mistakes. It is quite possible that there will be such things as a loose defense, a relaxation of the sentry posts at night. Therefore, if you carry out a sneak attack at night, you still have a good chance of success. Because Liu Xuanjun believed that our army was reconciling the old with the new, it was impossible to launch an attack on them.

This is what Zhuge Xuan really wants to express.

"So my uncle agrees with General Wei Yan's plan?" Zhuge Liang was a little unwilling, and wanted to confirm it again.

"Ah Liang. It's right to be cautious, but you can't be too cautious, because you'll lose a lot of opportunities. And ......" Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this: "Do you think we can defeat Liu Xuan by doing it head-on?" Even leaning on this western city. ”

"I'm afraid not." Zhuge Liang thought about the damage caused to Xicheng in the morning because of the battle, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Xicheng has already suffered a chaos, and it is absolutely impossible to withstand the chaos caused by the battle with Liu Xuan. What Xicheng needs is cultivation and time. Relying on the city to defend Liu Xuanjun is actually no different from the field, and it can even be said to be worse. Because Xicheng didn't hoard much food at all, and what it had brought from Yuzhang was almost consumed by now. ”

"Since the fight against Yezhan is a guaranteed loss, and the defense of the city can only drag on for a few days, why not gamble completely and make everything simpler? If you can win, you will be happy, and if you lose, it will be a relief. I'm not one of those people who can enjoy excitement, and I've been so scared these days in Xicheng that I really don't want to continue like this. Zhuge Xuan's low voice expressed the fear in his heart.

"I don't want to worry about it anymore." This was the biggest reason why Zhuge Xuan agreed to Wei Yan's risky plan.

"Since my father-in-law said so. Then we'll have to think it through. Li Sheng, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Planning? What are you talking about? Zhuge Xuan didn't react at once.

"Naturally, it's all kinds of things that come out of the way. If you defeat Liu Xuan if you win, you can recapture Yuzhang City, and I don't need to say much about all this. But what if it fails? How to retreat? What was the route of the retreat? How can the remaining men and horses pick up the retreating soldiers and horses? How to deal with the enemy's pursuit? Although these are things that everyone may not want to consider now, they are all important before they say victory. Li Sheng said. The things he raised, while a little out of place, were the most important issues to consider at the moment.

"...... you?" Zhuge Xuan shook his head helplessly, he had no way to take his righteous son.

Two hours later, everything was settled. After thinking carefully about it and thinking about whether there were any missing points, everyone finally decided on this whole set of plans. From the number of troops sent, to the route of the march, to the selection of commanders, to the various arrangements in case of failure, all became written and recorded. The person in charge of recording is the main bookkeeper Luo Mao. Wei Yan successfully obtained the command of the troops in this operation. He is the deputy general, and the main general is Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan.

By the next evening, it was the middle of the night. After receiving the news that everything was normal in Liu Xuan's army and that he was camping on the bank of the Ganjiang River, Zhuge Xuan ordered 6,000 men and horses to secretly march towards Liu Xuan's military camp. For the sake of secrecy, every soldier was asked to have a rank in his mouth, and his shoes were wrapped in the thick cloth pads under his feet, and all the soldiers were required to advance carefully and lightly, so as to minimize their movements.

Unable to light torches, the attacking troops had to grope their way in the dark. Although the terrain on this road is relatively flat, everyone is in the dark at the moment, so they naturally can't go fast. It was about ten miles from Xicheng to Liu Xuan's camp, and it only took half an hour to reach it, but everyone walked here for a full hour.

When the crescent moon in the middle of the sky was slightly westward, Zhuge Xuan finally came to the front of Liu Xuan's camp with his men and horses. With a wave of his hand, the procession of more than 6,000 people stopped, and he rode to the front of the procession. He was more cautious, although he had already decided to carry out a sneak attack on the enemy's camp, and the scouts he sent himself proved that the enemy camp on the opposite side had always been normal, but he was still a little uneasy, and planned to check it out for himself.

"How? Can you see what's so special? Zhuge Xuance came to Wei Yan's side and asked him softly. The camp on the opposite side was hazy and quiet in his eyes. He couldn't see anything special in it, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, so he would ask Wei Yan, who was still young. After all, Wei Yan is a young general, not to mention anything else, at least his eyes are much better than Zhuge Xuan.

"It's quiet on the other side." Wei Yan stared intently for a while, and slowly spoke: "Everything seems normal. It seemed to be defenseless. There are sentry posts above the camp wall, and there are also figures walking back and forth, which shows that the enemy is really preparing for defense. They are real people, not under the guise of straw. ”

"In that case, what about your final judgment?" Zhuge Xuan looked at him.

"Judgment?" Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "This is the opportunity that God has given us to make us successful." The enemy camp in front of us is a weak battalion that is not normal and can easily win if we attack now. So ......" said Wei Yan and arched his hand towards Zhuge Xuanyi on his horse: "Please give an order to Lord Taishou, I should lead the troops to wipe out the enemy in front of me." ”

"All at once? Haha, that's majestic. Perhaps touched by Wei Yan's youthful sharpness, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but chuckle approvingly. He gently patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "Attack!" Take our sons and men to break through their camp like a tiger out of the mountain, so that everyone in the world knows that there is such a Wei Yan as you in Jingzhou. Zhuge Xuan admired Wei Yan's arrogance, and he believed that such arrogance was necessary for generals.

"If a general is submissive and has no momentum, then what is he called a general." Wenchen, who was born in the military, understands this very well.

"So, I'll give the order?" Listening to Zhuge Xuan's encouragement, Wei Yan's face showed a hint of gratitude. If it was in normal times, he would have promised to go up to Zhuge Xuan to be grateful to Dade, but now, in the face of the quiet camp on the other side, he controlled his feelings very well. He knew that now was not the time to talk and do more, as long as he could perform well in the next battle, it would be the best reward for Zhuge Xuan.

"Up!" He took a deep breath and lowered his voice. It's not loud, but it's very imposing.

Like a rehearsal song and dance, as Wei Yan's muffled command sounded, a few agile guys in the military formation quickly rushed towards the gate of Liu Xuanjun's camp. They were clearly divided into two groups, the first group with delicate crossbows in their hands, and the latter group with a bundle of black rope on their backs.

They seem to have been specially trained, not only do they walk lightly, they are like swallows, and they even do a very good job of hiding their bodies when they run. They quickly approached Liu Xuanjun's camp. At a distance of about ten zhang from the camp gate, the group of people in front of them stopped their advance. They glanced at each other, their left hands flying in the air and making incomprehensible gestures, as if they were communicating something. When they lowered their left hand, their right hand jerked up, raising the crossbow in their hand. Their powerful index fingers snapped slightly, and a slight string tremor came out, only to see six silver rays of light running straight towards each other's necks.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! "Six men at the top of the camp wall fell from a height of two feet. After being shot through the throat, they couldn't die for a while, and struggled on the ground in great pain, but they couldn't make a sound.

A group of men followed, and they carefully and quickly crossed the dying-dead enemies to the huge wooden gate of the camp. They crouched down, removed the ropes from their bodies, and quickly tied them to the wooden doors of the camp. Then they flew backwards, and as they ran, they released the ropes from their bodies, and pulled them from the front gate to the front of the army as if they were leaving a factory tail.

"Mission accomplished." The six people who attacked came to Wei Yan's side and reported to him in a deep voice.

"Good!" Wei Yan nodded appreciatively, glanced sideways at Zhuge Xuan on the side, and after he signaled that everything was completely in charge of himself, he ordered his soldiers with a solemn expression: "Rocketeer, rush forward, three arrows in turn!" The shield soldiers of the former army, picked up the ropes on the ground and destroyed the enemy's camp gate at the same time as three arrows in a row! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied in a low but forceful voice. The thousand soldiers at the front of the team were all brought by Zhuge Xuan from Jingzhou, and they were all the strongest existences at the moment.

Three rows of archers of the front army advanced under the escort of a row of shieldmen. With small steps, they came to a distance of twenty feet in front of the camp gate. They froze. The shield warriors knelt down on one knee and held their shields flat. The two rows of archers in the back also crouched down, and only the fifty archers in the first row were standing in the whole scene. Pick the arrow, fire it, raise the bow, pull the string, release the string, a series of coherent movements will be completed in the archer's smooth movements. With the sound of a bowstring collapsing, fifty flying arrows swept over the two-foot high wall, drawing orange trajectories in the black night sky and submerging into Liu Xuanjun's camp. The fire started, and as the rounds unfolded, waves of rockets were shot out by the archers in turn, causing the entire camp of Liu Xuanjun to fall into the flames.

At the same time as the archers unleashed their fiery arrows, a platoon of men in the formation made their own moves, stooped down and pulled the rope on the ground, took a few steps back to taut it, and then dragged it back heavily.

"Bang...... Phew! The old-fashioned voice sounded at the camp gate, and Liu Xuanjun's camp gate, which was three feet wide and two feet high, collapsed in the drag of these dozens of small soldiers in Wei Yan's hands, revealing the exposure to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"It's all well done." A satisfied smile appeared on Wei Yan's face. His ears could already hear the sound of chaos from the enemy's camp, and it was a very beautiful sound. It was precisely because of such a voice that Wei Yan's heart finally let go: "The enemy's military camp is really defenseless. ”

In that case, then ......

"Kill me!" Wei Yan let out a shout happily. He held his broadsword high and pointed to the camp under the red night sky ahead, leading the men and horses straight there. In his opinion, Liu Xuanjun's camp must be like a pot of porridge that has been muddyed at this moment, and there is no order at all, and it should be easy to break. And what Wei Yan wants to do now is just to take this opportunity to launch the final blow to Liu Xuanjun.

"Rush!" He was always at the front of the pack. He walked past the ruined camp gates, ignoring the burning tents around him, and not paying attention to why the shouts of killing were always so far away. He always moved forward vigorously, just wanting to get the fruits of the victory in the war, and forgot that he was running too fast, and he had already left his commander Zhuge Xuan far behind.

When he came to the Chinese military tent in Liu Xuanjun's camp with more than a dozen guards, he felt bad in his heart when faced with the emptiness of the Chinese military tent.

"Why, from the camp gate, to this point have not met a single enemy? Why is there only shouts of killing and screams around, but there are no healthy enemy soldiers wielding their blades, and the corpses that have fallen to the ground and died? Why is this huge Chinese military tent empty? If it was really Hua who had succeeded in the sneak attack, then there should be a chaotic scene of people in front of him. The questions that had not arisen when he had just charged appeared in Wei Yan's mind one after another. He was a little flustered, as if he had guessed what the situation in front of him meant: "It's a trap." It was an elaborate trap set by the enemy, and it was true that the sentries who were shot dead by their side on the walls of the camp were real people, but it is also possible that they were just bait used to seduce themselves. It is likely that the enemy has seen through our operation, so they have set such a trap. ”

"Hit the mark!" The sound of gritting teeth popped out of Wei Yan's mouth, and he quickly gave an order: "Don't panic, everyone, just follow me carefully and retreat." I'll definitely bring you all back. After noticing that the situation was not good, the first thing Wei Yan did was to appease the morale of his subordinates. He knew that it wasn't for the chaos that had thrown his team into chaos right now.

"Oh!" The soldiers cheered in a low voice. It's dangerous, but there's still a glimmer of hope. It was easy for the simple soldiers to calm their hearts.

There were shouts of killing from far and near on the right side of the camp, and it was Liu Xuanjun who had killed. Wei Yan listened attentively to the movement on the ground again, and a shocked look gradually appeared on his face: "It's not a cavalry!" Before he had time to remind his men to prepare for the enemy's assault, he saw a cavalry contingent of about 200 men coming across in the dark shadows, and one of the leading young generals, danced a spear in his hand, shook off the starting point of silver, and stabbed straight at his face.

"It looks like it's someone who has some ability." Wei Yan estimated the strength of this other party, and found that he was almost at the same level as himself, and couldn't help but show a little interested. He didn't retreat but stepped forward, the long knife in his hand swept up, and he fought with the other party without reservation.

"Kuang ......" In the weird and harsh sound, the knife and the gun fought one after another, and the resulting sparks and strength made the two involuntarily take a few steps back. With the blow just now, the two of them had a result that was evenly matched.

"Not bad? Who is this man? Both of them know what they're capable of, and they both know how rare it is in this world to meet an opponent who can compete with them. When the evenly matched result was presented in front of their young faces, both of them couldn't help but want to get acquainted with each other.

"Who are you?" The two of them asked at the same time. Because the voice sounded so neatly, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"My name is Wei Yan (Tai Shi Ci)! After being stunned for a moment, the answers of the two were also so neat.

At the same time, the whole serious battlefield was made like a joke. At the same time, the two of them heard the faint sound of the soldiers behind them "poof", and understood that they could really resist the urge to laugh, and their hearts suddenly turned upside down, and the battle intent entrenched in their bodies suddenly dissipated a lot. Although the battle will continue, both of them clearly understand that this battle will definitely not be fierce. At least in the fight with each other, they will intentionally or unintentionally leave some leeway for each other. After all, the disappearance of their fighting intent made it difficult for them to have killing intent again.

"You are Tai Shici, who drew with Xiaobawang in the first battle of Shenting Ridge? Sure enough, I have some ability. Wei Yan said lightly, but his eyes became solemn, and he secretly gathered the strength in his body.

"It's over! Although I don't know your fame, I know that your strength is not below mine. Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly, and then raised the spear in his hand: "Let's fight it." He made an invitation to Wei Yan.

"Good!" Wei Yan agreed in a deep voice. With his pride, he would never back down from anyone's challenge.

"Kill!" The same binge was uttered from the mouths of both at the same time. In the narrow space, on the chaotic battlefield where the rebels rose one after another, the two fought together. For a while, the knife slashed the gun, the round dance was poked, and you fought very happily. They sweated all over their bodies and concentrated on fighting the enemy in front of them. At this moment, they don't look like a responsible general but like an obsessed warrior, and all they think about is just a little bit in front of them. Wei Yan forgot his promise to lead soldiers to break through, and forgot that he still had the task of protecting Zhuge Xuan. And Tai Shici also forgot his plan to lead troops to intercept the enemy in front of him into two sections. They fought against each other and fought inseparably. Only the soldiers around him were allowed to fight on their own, and the people on both sides fought only by instinct. The battle was suddenly plunged into a terrible scorching heat.

When Wei Yan and Tai Shici were entangled here, Zhuge Xuan, who was left behind by Wei Yan, encountered a crisis. His rear army was attacked by Zhang Ying and Sun Shao, and was falling into inevitable chaos. Originally, they were going to hunt prey as hunters, but at this moment, under the joint arrangement of Liu Miao and Xu Shao, they, the original hunters, became prey. Such a sudden change was really difficult for them to adapt. They didn't come to their senses, and naturally they were beaten defenseless.

According to Xu Shao's suggestion: Liu Xuanjun planned to use the method of attacking Zhuge Xuan from three sides. Among them is Tai Shici's cavalry unit on the front, and on the side is Zhang Ying and Sun Shao's men and horses. They originally thought that Zhuge Xuan must be at the forefront, so they arranged for Tai Shici to go up to ensure that they could kill Zhuge Xuan at the first time. But he didn't expect the real situation to be Wei Yanchong, who could compete with Tai Shici, was at the forefront, which was a mistake in Xu Shao's plan.

However, this mistake is still relatively small for Xu Shao's plan. Because the main part of the whole plan, it is still going quite smoothly at the moment. The Zhuge army that came to steal the camp was indeed caught in a bitter battle like a swamp. Although there was still some time before the final annihilation, Liu Miao and Xu Shao knew very well that they had won the battle tonight, and they couldn't help but show their happiest smiles.

With such a smile on their face, Zhuge Xuan fell into the biggest crisis in history. Because he encountered Sun Lei.

Sun Lei followed Sun Shao forward. Since Sun Leide joined Sun Shaobu's side, the progress on his side was originally much faster than Zhang Ying's. They quickly attacked the center of the formation and saw Zhuge Xuan, who was surrounded by guards. Of course, Sun Shao and Sun Lei didn't recognize that it was Zhuge Xuan, they just saw that he was well protected by the guards around them, and they were very convinced that this person was not simple.

"Catch him for me, Ray!" Looking at this general of the Zhuge Army who was guarded, Sun Shao remembered the shame of being defeated by the Zhuge Army when he was pursuing, and for a while his old hatred came to his heart, and he immediately commanded Sun Lei in a deep voice.

"Understood." Sun Lei quickly agreed. In fact, in his heart, he also had the same thoughts as Sun Shao.

Sun Lei quickly led the team forward and broke into Zhuge Xuan's escort array. Although Sun Lei's martial arts are much worse than those of Wei Yan and Tai Shici, it is really not something that these ordinary soldiers can stop. As the battle axe in his hand continued to swing out, one after another the guards who stood in front of him had already been killed by him. Soon, he came to Zhuge Xuan.

At this moment, Zhuge Xuandi's face was already very pale, and under Sun Lei's gaze, he hurriedly pulled out his sword and wanted to fight Sun Lei. However, Sun Lei is not so good and easy. I saw that the handle of the axe in his hand was turned over, not the blade of the axe, but the huge force that smashed Zhuge Xuan's chest with the back of the axe, knocking Zhuge Xuan down directly from the horse, and then lifting him up, which was caught.

"What kind of garbage? Can you still be a military general like this? If Uncle Clan hadn't asked me to arrest you, I would have cut off your head with an axe just now. It's really ......" Sun Lei grabbed Zhuge Xuan and wanted to ride his horse back.

Suddenly, he froze, turned his eyes and looked motionlessly in the direction of Sun Shao's original location. Originally, Sun Shao's mount was empty. A member of the military who seemed to have just been killed from the battlefield appeared next to Sun Shao's mount on a black horse. He carried a long knife in his right hand and a man in his left. Sun Lei looked at it from afar, and clearly saw in the dim night that the person held by his military general was his clan uncle Sun Shao.

"This ...... What's going on? He was stunned.

I saw that the person on the other side slowly opened his mouth: "I'm Wei Yan." Now that I've captured the general from your side, I want to rely on him to exchange your men. What do you think? Wei Yan looked very calm.
