248 Night Raid 2

Seeing the empty trench in front of him, Wang Pingfan and many Wu soldiers were stunned.

"General, what can we do, should we withdraw our troops back now, or directly attack Bishui Town." A partial general opened his mouth and asked Wang Pingfan.

Hearing the general's question, Wang Pingfan thought for a while, and then said, "You now quickly go back to the news to the prince, I will take people to Bishui Town, this time the Ming army gave up the defense outside the city, I am afraid it was premeditated, and now it is estimated that Bishui Town has been completely empty, if so, we will be able to easily take Bishui Town, and if the Ming army only because of excessive losses, and abandon the positions outside the city, all transferred to the town, we can just be the vanguard force, Take the opportunity to catch them off guard. ”

Just when the general went back to Wu Sangui to report the situation here, under the leadership of Wang Pingfan, two thousand Wu troops quickly rushed to Bishui Town, and just came to the gate to enter Bishui Town, and saw that the gate that should have been closed was open at this time, but there was no light in the town, which is also certain, when the war was about to break out, nearly 1,000 households in Bishui Town had already evacuated in advance. The open door, in the light of the firelight outside, looked like the open mouth of a wild beast, as if it were waiting to devour the people.

Of course, in this case, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would be frightened, but for these two thousand elite Wu soldiers, the quietness at this time made Tong feel a little happy, after all, although they are elite, it does not mean that they are heavenly soldiers and generals, and when they fight, they will also die, and in the battlefield, accidents are constant. No one knows if they will survive the next moment, so why wouldn't they be happy if they don't have to fight!

"My lord, it seems that the Ming army did flee at night, otherwise. The door will not be so open, do you see if we are waiting for the prince to come and go in together, or if we will go in first now and find out the enemy's situation. Seeing the open door, another member of the Wu army, a partial general, said to Wang Pingfan.

No wonder this bias will say so, you know, the army at this time does not have all the discipline to seize and turn in, the most common thing is. After capturing a city, some generals will set up troops to plunder the people, not because these generals are willing to do this, but because being a soldier in this era is a very hard job, except for those who naturally like to kill, I am afraid that most soldiers do not want to be soldiers.

This is also why in ancient times, the situation of desertion would be so serious, and the punishment for deserters would be so severe. Being a soldier in this era is not only a low status. It is necessary to endure hardships and stand hard work, endure humiliation and burdens, and even have a stomach full of food, let alone money, and in this high-pressure situation, the soldiers have a huge resentment in their hearts. Especially in times of war, when faced with the threat of death on a daily basis, this pressure will explode in geometric form, which is why camp howls often occurred in ancient times.

So, often the generals will be at some point. The purpose of indulgence is to let the soldiers under his command vent some suppressed emotions in their hearts, and it is also to give the soldiers some benefits in disguise, so that they can get some financial rewards from the people.

Although it is immoral, whether it is at home or abroad, throughout the ages, this kind of thing is endless, just like the Western Crusades, it is said to spread the blessing for God, in fact, it is some Western down-and-out aristocrats and lower-class people at that time, in order to be able to obtain wealth, so as to carry out several robberies, in the final analysis, as long as there are people, everything happens because of interests.

Hearing the words of the general, Wang Pingfan immediately understood what he meant, that is, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one else had come, go first to see the inside of Bishui Town, and search for it, you know, although the people here have already left, it is impossible for them to take everything with them, and there will definitely be some leftovers.

"Okay, since we are the vanguard, we need to do a good job of exploration for the army, so we must thoroughly find out the situation in Bishui Town before the arrival of the prince, and find out whether the army has really retreated, or has other plans." Now that he has understood the thoughts of his subordinates, there is no need for Wang Pingfan to stop him, 'preventing people from getting rich is tantamount to killing their parents', after all, if you are in the army, you must be gregarious, otherwise, when it comes to life and death, who will save you, since this is a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone, why is he not happy to be a favor, besides, if he really gets any benefits in the town, how can he lose his share.

After receiving the order of Wang Pingfan, the chief general, the two thousand Wu troops suddenly became excited, they could get a chance to make a fortune without fighting, how could they not be happy, so, under the leadership of their respective generals, they rushed to Bishui Town

Just when 2,000 Wu troops swarmed into Bishui Town, on a hill not far from here, some people were hiding here, and the dense woods on the autumn mountain were natural hiding places.

"General Yang, you are really clever, I didn't expect it, even this made you guess, this time you can make Wu Jun suffer a big loss, and you don't have to waste a soldier, it's great, it's a pity that Wu Sangui's dog thief is not there, otherwise, I must kill him to avenge my uncle." Squatting on the top of the mountain, Li Guo looked at the sporadic firelight in Bishui Town, and said to Yang Guoguang, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror and carefully observing the situation.

Hearing Li Guo's words, Yang Guoguang on the side took down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and said to Li Guo on the side, "Li Gongzi, it's not that I am clever, but the other party has to do this, these days they have also seen it, if they want those Bishui Town, according to the normal attack, I am afraid it will take a few days, and now time is the most precious for Wu Jun, so they can only think of other ways, except for the night attack, what else can they do, this is still a pity." ”

"It's a pity, is it a pity that Wu Gouzi didn't come?" Li Guo listened to Yang Guoguang's sigh and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hahaha, Li Gongzi, do you really dare to think, I never thought that I could murder Wu Sangui of Megatron with this kind of trick, I regret that the soldiers who entered the town are too few, originally I thought that there would be at least 5,000 people, but I didn't expect that Wu Sangui only sent 2,000 people over this time, which is really a bit stingy." Yang Guoguang couldn't help but say with a smile.

On the other side, when the general was eager to meet the Wu army camp and report the matter to Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, the two were also a little surprised, they couldn't have imagined that the Ming army, which was quite tenacious during the day, actually withdrew in the middle of the night.

"Virtuous nephew, do you see if this matter will be a conspiracy of the Ming army." After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou, who really couldn't think of a pharmacy, frowned and asked Wu Sangui on the side, in terms of marching and fighting, Hong Chengchou is very self-aware, he was originally just a civilian official, although he had some experience in leading troops to fight, but it was also in leading the army and coordinating logistics, the real face-to-face battle situation between the two sides was not his strong point, which is why he had hundreds of thousands of Ming troops under him back then, but he was suppressed by tens of thousands of Eight Banner Army. Even later he was besieged in several isolated cities, and the reason why he wanted to bring Wu Sangui this time was also for this reason.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Uncle, the conspiracy is not counted, we all know the situation of the Ming army, and the three-day hard battle has already brought them to the limit, if it weren't for this, the little nephew would not have arranged for his subordinates to go to the night attack tonight, and their departure was also due, but, aren't they afraid that if they leave in such a hurry, they will be caught up by us and caught off guard, you know, they are not empty-handed, they still have wounded people who need treatment, according to the situation at night, They can't go far at all, and we still have cavalry on our side, and it's simply a breeze to pursue, how could they do such an unwise thing. ”

"Could it be, they didn't even think we'd steal the camp tonight, and if they thought we'd wait until tomorrow to attack, wouldn't they be able to leave easily?" Hong Chengchou asked.

"No, it's impossible, how could they leave so easily, judging from the battles of the past few days, their general is definitely not a person who gives up so easily, ah, it's not good, it's not good, hurry, go quickly." As he walked, he said, but suddenly Wu Sangui didn't know what he thought, his face changed suddenly, and at the same time, his body walked quickly towards the outside of the tent, shouting that it was not good as he walked.

When Wu Sangui rode a fast horse and ran wildly towards Bishui Town, Yang Guoguang, who was hiding on the top of the mountain not far from Bishui Town, looked at the sky and said with a smile in his mouth, "It's time to enjoy the grand scene in front of us!" As he spoke, he saw that the fire was suddenly bright in Bishui Town, which was originally only lit up by stars, and at the same time, the sound of a 'boom' explosion spread far away in the silent night.
