Chapter 100: All or Nothing

Subsequently, Xiahou Ying counted 500 soldiers, of which about 300 archers. After the assembly, he immediately ordered people to fetch linen, hay and animal oil according to Liu Yuan's instructions. At his command, the archers wrapped a handful of hay in burlap and dipped it in animal oil. Immediately, the archers took out the arrows again and tied the oiled linen hay to the arrows with hemp rope.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the archers had completed the bundling, Xiahou Ying ordered again. Taking advantage of the cover of night, Pei's army once again quietly approached the Qin army camp.

"Let's talk about it, Peijun is cunning, what do you suggest?" The county lieutenant Feng Ze sat in the big tent, he swept over the generals, and said in a deep voice.

"If you are attacked during the day, I am afraid that Peijun will come again tonight." Adjutant General Dong Cheng was a little worried, "Our sergeants have not rested for the past two days, and the morale has now fallen to a low point after a long journey and freezing fatigue. It is better to wait for the arrival of the army of the county guard, and then join forces to attack the city. ”

"No!" Feng Ze waved his hand and refused, but he hurriedly led the troops in advance in order to swallow the battle merits alone, how could he join forces with the county guard? If that were the case, there would be very little of it. "Hey, let's be on guard." He couldn't think of a good way for a while, and last night he miscalculated, and the entire deployment was disrupted by Pei's army, which led to such an embarrassing situation.

The generals in the big tent are also extremely aggrieved, the overall strength of the Qin army, both in terms of literacy and equipment, is more superb than that of the Pei army, but the current situation is so passive, how can these generals not be angry? As the lieutenant had said, there was nothing they could do but be on guard.

"Why don't you just pull out the camp and attack the city?" Zhang Xiang came out of the queue and suggested in a low voice.

"Yes, directly attack the city!"

"Please also ask the county lieutenant to order the siege of the city, and we will swear to capture Pei County!" A group of generals also broke out in grievances and asked for their lives.

Seeing this, Feng Ze's originally low heart also moved a little, and he looked at the deputy general Dong Cheng with flickering eyes, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Dong Cheng pondered for a while, and he replied in a solemn voice: "Back to the county guard, Liu Yuan is very cunning, relying only on me and other 3,000 elite soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture Peixian." "He was originally full of confidence, but after today's attack, he also became hesitant." Pei army has a city to rely on, how can our army be attacked with such morale? ”

Hearing this, Feng Ze also understood what Dong Cheng meant, but he would never wait for the arrival of the county guard. For the sake of military exploits, he had no choice but to make a desperate bet. Immediately, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the army to prepare, bury the pot and cook when the child is young, and send troops to Pei County when it is ugly!" ”

"No!" The generals immediately received their commands,

Out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Cheng arranged for an inspection, and then went into the camp tent to rest. Since the county lieutenant chose to attack, he had to obey the order as a deputy general, and while he had not yet pulled out the camp, Dong Cheng also wanted to nourish his spirit.

Xiahou Ying looked at the Qin army camp and ordered with an indifferent expression: "Archers prepare!" "Immediately, more than 300 archers took out their arrows, lit the sackcloth dipped in oil, and then opened their bows and drew the strings." Shoot! Xiahou Yingjian pointed at the Qin army camp and snorted coldly.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Rockets rain down on the night sky!

"Enemy attack!"

The Qin soldiers who were patrolling shouted, and the entire camp immediately moved, and many Qin soldiers rushed out of the big tent, but they were greeted by rockets falling from the sky.

"Fire, on fire." Many tents were set on fire, as were some soldiers, and the camp, which was already in a panic, became even more chaotic as the flames burned.

Seeing this, Xiahou Ying naturally wouldn't give Qin Jun time to react, he swung his sword again and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

Another round of rockets, and the fire in the Qin army's camp became more and more intense. The county lieutenant Feng Ze was rescued from the camp by the guards, and when he saw that his camp had become a sea of fire, he roared angrily: "Shameless traitor, really evil!" Immediately, he shouted at the guards: "Why don't you go and put out the fire?" ”

"County Lieutenant, let's withdraw! Our army has suffered casualties, the battalion has also been burned, and it is no longer possible to capture Peixian. Dong Cheng hurried over, his eyes were bloodshot, I don't know if it was because of tiredness or annoyance.

"Withdraw? How to withdraw? Feng Ze directly reprimanded angrily, "I am leading elite soldiers, if I evacuate, how should the county guard look at me?" "Actually, not only is he worried about the criticism of the county guard, but what Feng Ze is most worried about is that once he evacuates in embarrassment, he will not be able to score any military merits in Pei County in the future.

"Rectify the army and immediately send troops to Peixian!" Feng Ze ordered resentfully.

"Hey!" Dong Cheng sighed lowly, but still took the order and left.

Just when the Qin army gathered, Xiahou Ying had already led the Pei army back to Pei County. When he arrived in the city, it was already the second half of the night, and he immediately reported the news of the arrival of the Qin army to Liu Yuan.

After a short time, the embarrassed Qin army finally arrived at the city of Peixian. Liu Yuan looked at the low morale of the Qin soldiers, he was naturally surprised, in this case, the main general of the Qin army still wanted to attack the city, which can only be said to be extremely stupid.

"Bold Liu Yuan, still don't surrender?" Deputy General Dong Chengce immediately stepped forward and asked sharply.

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Da Niu shouted in a loud voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm already impatient to wait, can you wait for the Qin army to attack the city?" ”

Da Niu was so arrogant, which also made Dong Cheng and other Qin generals grit their teeth, "County Captain, please also give the order to attack the city!" Dong Cheng bowed his hand to Feng Ze and asked.

County Lieutenant Feng Ze bowed slightly, he half-squinted at Liu Yuan on the city tower, the firelight was faint, and he could only vaguely see the figure. Feng Ze was secretly annoyed in his heart, he hated Liu Yuan to the extreme, and immediately, he waved his hand and said sharply: "Order you to lead two thousand troops as the vanguard, and attack the city immediately." ”

"No!" Dong Chenggao shouted, he pulled out his sword with a "bang", and his eyes gradually killed fiercely, "Siege!" ”

"Siege!"

"Kill!"

With Zhang Xiang and other five hundred lords as the vanguard, the shield soldiers rushed to the front, and the soldiers behind them carried the ladder and hit the wood to follow bravely, and the entire vanguard of 2,000 troops advanced fearlessly under the leadership of Dong Cheng. Although the Qin soldiers were tired, they naturally would not retreat when the military order was given, and soon, the Qin army rushed into the moat. The icy river water was biting, and these Qin troops trembled, but they gritted their teeth and continued to hold firm.

"Take the ladder!" Dong Cheng immediately ordered.

Immediately, a cloud ladder leaned against the city wall, Dong Cheng took the lead, he snatched the shield from a Qin army, put it on his head, and took the lead in climbing up. After that, the Qin soldiers did not slack off, leaving four people to stabilize the ladder, and the rest followed and climbed.

There is a city to follow, the Pei army occupies a favorable location, and the two thousand Qin troops want to conquer Pei County. Liu Yuan also pulled out his sword, his eyes were resolute, but he was not decisive in killing, "Kill!" ”
