Chapter 208: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
At that time, the rain of the day finally stopped, but the dark clouds did not disperse, so that there was no light in sight of the dark earth.
In the dark, Xu Shengzheng led a thousand soldiers to slowly move forward on a muddy road full of potholes and water.
Xu Sheng's mood was very heavy, this night attack on the Jiangdong camp would be his battle for self-redemption, he had already secretly sworn in his heart, no matter what, he must perfectly carry out the mission assigned by Gan Ning, otherwise, even if Gan Ning forgave him afterwards, he himself would not forgive himself.
In the distance, Xu Sheng could already see the faintly flickering sparks in the Jiangdong camp, and following this subtle light, Xu Sheng quickly led the army to the front of the enemy camp.
After carefully observing the situation in the camp, Xu Sheng found that there were only three or three Jiangdong soldiers patrolling back and forth lazily, as if everything was as usual, and there was no special guard.
Here's your chance!
Xu Sheng whispered to the guards beside him: "Pass the order, the crossbowmen will be divided into two teams, attacking the arrow towers on the left and right sides respectively, and the rest will be ambushed outside the camp gate, waiting for my command, once the crossbowmen attack, they will immediately attack the camp gate with me!" β
The order was conveyed, and a thousand Jinfan soldiers quickly dispersed in an orderly manner and began to tiptoe towards the Jiangdong camp.
Thirty paces away from the Jiangdong camp, Xu Sheng ordered to stop advancing, because if they went any further, they would enter the illumination range of the bonfire, and the possibility of early exposure would be greatly increased.
"Tell the crossbowmen that it's time to attack!"
After a few seconds, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew in the darkness, and the unsuspecting Jiangdong soldiers on the arrow tower were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling from a high place.
"Enemy attackβ" A panicked scream, in the silence of the night, almost equivalent to thunder on dry land.
"Kill !!"
Xu Sheng shouted loudly, and immediately led the army to charge.
The soldiers who ran at the forefront quickly stepped forward and moved the horses blocking the camp gate to both sides, Xu Sheng took advantage of the situation to kill, his face was hideous, and a roar came out of his mouth: "Break the !! for me β
Rumble!
In the face of Xu Sheng's blow with all his might, the wooden latch that was the thickness of an arm across the camp gate was actually split in two with a knife.
Xu Sheng kicked open the camp gate and led the troops into the Jiangdong camp with great momentum.
But at this moment, behind the originally pitch-black camp tent, countless fires suddenly lit up, and then, with the earth-shattering shouts of killing, countless Jiangdong soldiers rushed out from all directions like a tide, and the first general carried a spear, straddled a majestic war horse, and laughed: "Xu Sheng Xiao'er, your grandfather Sun Wei has been waiting here for a long time!" β
Xu Sheng's face changed in an instant, and he hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw!" Withdraw quickly!! β
"Want to run? It's late! Sun Wei sneered at the corner of his mouth, pointed his spear forward, and ordered, "Release the arrow!" β
Brush Brush Brush !!
In the next second, an overwhelming rain of arrows poured down, and Jinfan suddenly suffered great casualties, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows.
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!
The gate of Jiangdong's camp is so big, and there are so many soldiers in Jinfan, it is obviously impossible to escape all at once.
Bell Bell Bell Bell !!
Xu Sheng stood at the back of the team, dancing into a circle of light with a big knife in his hand, blocking the flying arrows one by one, and turning back from time to time, constantly urging the army to evacuate.
Sun Wei stared at Xu Sheng, who was showing great bravery, and roared, "Kill me!! β
"Kill !!"
With Sun Wei's order, countless Jiangdong soldiers swarmed up, and Jinfan's rear formation immediately fell into great chaos.
"Die!" A Jiangdong soldier rushed in front of Xu Sheng and stabbed Xu Sheng in the chest with a spear.
"I can't help myself!" Xu Sheng's eyes were full of murderous intent, his footsteps slipped to avoid the stabbing attack, and he cut off the head of the Jiangdong soldier with a backhand, splashing blood.
Xu Sheng is a husband and a husband, and he can't open it, although there are not a few Jiangdong soldiers who are staring at his big fish, but they all become the ghosts of his knife in turn.
Under Xu Sheng's mobilization, the Jinfan soldiers retreated while fighting, and after a while, they finally slowly withdrew from the Jiangdong camp.
Sun Wei drove forward immediately and led the army to chase out: "Chase!" Don't run away from any of them!! β
Sun Wei clearly remembered Sun Ben's order, annihilating this Jinfan is not the goal, it is best to chase them all the way to capture Chaisang in one fell swoop, of course, if the gate of Chaisang City is never opened, it will not be too late for them to besiege and kill this Jinfan with all their might.
However, in this way, it made Xu Sheng's withdrawal a lot easier, and Xu Sheng was also quite happy about this, after all, while completing the task, he naturally hoped to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible.
In fact, Xu Sheng really didn't expect that this plan would go so smoothly, originally he thought that it would be very difficult to lure the Jiangdong Army out, maybe he would have to take the lives of most of the soldiers for this, but who expected that the Jiangdong Army had already taken precautions against his night attack, and chased it out without saying a word, which was really to his liking.
In the blink of an eye, the two came to Jinfan's ambush location between chasing and fleeing.
"Kill !!"
The deafening shouts of killing suddenly resounded in the open field, accompanied by the Jinfan army all over the mountains and fields to kill down the hillside, Sun Hui, who was full of ambition a moment ago, suddenly felt like a lightning strike, and his face was as bleak as white paper in an instant.
"This ...... How can it be!? Sun Wei opened his mouth wide, and the whole person was dumbfounded, "Why did Jinfan get so many soldiers and horses!?" β
The reason why Gan Ning chose to enter Chaisang at night was to hide from the eyes and ears of the Jiangdong Army, otherwise, how could the Jiangdong Army be lured out of the camp so easily by Xu Sheng?
Unguarded, the Jiangdong army was immediately caught off guard by Jinfan, 3,000 soldiers and horses were in a mess, and they only supported for a short time before they scattered and fled with a 'boom', allowing Sun Wei to shout there, and he could not recover the slightest decline.
"Sun Hui, take your life!"
Xu Sheng led the army to turn back, and went straight to kill Sun Wei with a big knife in his hand.
When Sun Wei heard the prestige, he saw that it was Xu Sheng, and he was immediately frightened, so he pulled out his horse and left.
Xu Sheng was in a hurry when he saw it, you must know that he didn't ride a horse on this expedition, how could two legs run more than four legs?
At this time, Wei Yan galloped past Xu Sheng, and shouted: "Wen Xiang, this is the prey you let go by yourself, don't blame my brother for robbing you of your credit, haha!" β
"......" looked at Wei Yan's back in amazement, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth were bitter, and he shook his head helplessly...... (To be continued.) )
