Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Sneak Attack at Night
Lao Zao comforted again: "The sentinel sent out came back to report that the reinforcements of the White Turban Army had not yet arrived, and our more than 2,000 troops against the 3,000 troops of the White Turban Army were not out of chance, and Gangshan was not still in our hands.

Lao Zheng said bitterly: "I'm afraid that the White Turban Army will suddenly increase its troops, how can we hold on to such a small number of troops, although the White Turban Army is a rabble, it is not afraid of death, and it is extremely brave." ”
Lao Zao has not seen the desperate charge of the White Turban Army, without any protective equipment, he dares to come up and attack with a hoe, and the White Turban Army organizes the attack in a very orderly manner, combining attack and defense, reflecting the professional level of the commander.
Up to now, Lao Zao doesn't know enough about the White Turban Army, he only knows that the White Turban Army has five heavenly kings, and the general of the White Turban Army in Hailing County is called Gongming He, who was once the guard general of Yuling County, and his subordinates have battalion leaders such as Lao Shuming, Gongming Chang, and Botong, and the rest know very little.
And now it is the troops led by Botong who are attacking Gangshan, these days of fighting, knowing that this Botong is brave and strong, is a difficult enemy to deal with, but is Gongming and the first brave general under his command, these are known from the mouth of the captives of the White Turban Army, after knowing this, the prisoners of the White Turban Army were all killed to see the king of Hades, a few were still steamed, and the whole was sent back to the camp of the White Turban Army as a dish, perhaps it was such a strategy that prompted the White Turban Army to play completely deadly, The fire of hatred burned in their hearts.
"You have a good rest tonight, presumably the White Turban Army will not attack easily, and we also know that our strength and strength are not at the mercy of others." Lao Zao saw that these subordinates were extremely tired and weak, so he said comfortingly.
Lao Wen wanted to say that he couldn't relax, but his heart suddenly became very depressed, his eyes were blurred, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, at this time, Lao Zheng had already begun to withdraw, turned around and left, and Lao Province then left, so he didn't say anything, and it was estimated that most of them thought that the White Turban Army would not attack at night.
In the night, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and there was no wind, but suddenly dark clouds like hellish smoke rolled over, lightning and thunder, illuminated the whole sky, resounded throughout the earth, such a meeting of wind and clouds lasted for about a few minutes, a heavy rain fell in a thunderbolt, after that, there was no more lightning and thunder.
The wind blew the oil lamp on the ceiling of the corner tower on the battlements swayed, and the lights almost went out, at this time, a sergeant walked in from outside, and the water on his coat was like a sprinkling on the ground, and he said gloomily: "The rain is so heavy that people can't open their eyes, and it is estimated that those god-damn white turban soldiers will not come to sneak attack, so call the brothers back." ”
The captain who was sitting in the chair closed his nerves, his hands around a broadsword, no objection or approval, as if he had dozed off, and did not hear any of the movements, but then he turned his sleeping head and turned away to the corner.
The sergeant couldn't help but turn to the deputy captain who was standing at the lookout of the corner tower and looked at the heavy rain outside: "Deputy captain, this rain is uncomfortable, as long as we are vigilant, it will be nothing, aren't those white turban soldiers not afraid of this rainstorm." ”
The deputy lieutenant couldn't bear it, and said: "Tell them to come back to avoid the rain first, and when the rain stops, they will all return to their posts, and nothing should happen tonight." ”
A whistle pierced the night sky, pierced through the clouds and rain, and reached the ears of all the sergeants in the city, and suddenly, I saw a dark heavy rain, and one by one the sergeants in the robes walked towards the corner tower, and in the corner tower, a pool of rain was sprinkled, and it flowed down the low ground of the corner tower.
The sergeants who came in saw that the captain was sleepy and seemed to be sleeping soundly, and did not dare to make a loud noise, so they each found a place to sit, and the conversation was only soft, and they did not talk much, as if they were all settled, before, there were still people standing at the lookout and looking outside, to see if there was any movement, and after an hour, all the people fell asleep, and slept very deeply and deadly, and there was no sound, only those who slept and snored were still there annoying.
Half an hour before the rain stopped, in the woods less than three miles away from Gangshan, a large group of elusive people walked towards this side, and when the rain stopped, the group of people had set up a ladder, quietly climbed up to the top of the city, and quietly descended down the steps of the city to the gate of the city.
The rain seemed to have poured all before, and the moon was hiding behind the dark clouds, and the silence around it was as quiet as death, and a drop of rain dripping from the eaves of the wall in the black light was almost inaudible. Everything is quiet, and the killing is also quiet, a knife in the neck, or pierced in the chest, not even screaming, the breath sinks directly into the stomach, only the frightened expression can show how incredible it is before death.
Like wolves rushing into the sheepfold, killing people when they come to the enemy in the dark, moving quickly, it seems that professional killers, it doesn't seem like those rabble of the White Turban Army, can be so calm and ruthless, and the highest efficiency.
I don't know who called the enemy to attack, and when the defenders of Gangshan reacted, the city gate had been opened, and a large group of people poured in and rushed in all directions, and then, the horn of the new army sounded, and Gangshan fell into chaos. In a few moments, the northeast corner was on fire, the screams were endless, and people were running everywhere in the darkness, and people were falling silently everywhere.
Lao Zao and other generals were woken up in their sleep, and Lao Zao, who had no time to dress neatly, ran out of the bedroom, looked at the sergeant who was running in a panic, and was about to scold angrily, Lao Zheng, who was wearing neat armor and holding a knife, rushed to him, and said anxiously: "The big thing is not good, the city gate has been breached, and a large number of white turban troops have entered the city of Gangshan, Gangshan can't hold it, the general should abandon the city and leave." ”
Lao Zao hesitated for a while, and wanted to ask a few words, the sound of the weapon fight sounded not far away, getting bigger and bigger, you can imagine how many people were fighting outside, I didn't expect it to be so sudden, unpredictable, Lao Zao was shocked.
Lao Zheng took Lao Zao's arm and said, "Let's go, if you hesitate, you won't be able to leave." ”
Although Lao Zao, who was dragged away by Lao Zhengqiang, was shocked, however, as time went longer and farther, his heart gradually settled down, and he began to ask questions.
Panting, he scolded: "How did the White Turban Army break the city, they were well guarded during the day, why did they lose it at night, this is how I can explain to the eldest prince and Taishou." Later, Lao Zao was not without remorse, the eldest prince and his sister had high hopes for him, but he failed to live up to their expectations, trapped Donghai County at a disadvantage, and regretted not being at the beginning.
"There are spies in the city who collaborate with the enemy, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the guard sergeant was caught off guard." That's a good excuse that Lao Zheng can think of.
"Hey." At this time, Lao Zao finally knew that he was not the material for commanding the army to fight, and he couldn't eat the food in this position, so he blamed himself deeply, and tears appeared in his eyes.
It was an unquiet night, with heavy rain and rivers of blood, and I don't know how many people died in this rainy night, and I don't know how many families lost their heads of affairs, and they were no longer complete, no one counted them, only the moon might have seen it, but would it count them seriously, and what about it?
Gangshan was lost, when the news arrived, Lao Bushen's eyebrows tightened, his eyes showed a hesitant look, and he looked at Mars and me with a smile, the news was not only the loss of Gangshan, the White Turban Army was full of energy, and captured several wealthy villages in a row, and the levy army was desperate to flee to Donghai County.
At this moment, where are the reinforcements from Wolf Mountain County, the five thousand reinforcements from Wolf Mountain County did not enter Donghai County, but came towards Gangshan in Hailing County, and no one knew where that army was, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
