Chapter 179 Night Battle
Zhou Yu was puzzled by these actions of the Jingzhou soldiers, and he estimated that Liu Cong was preparing for a night battle, so he ordered the soldiers to eat dinner in shifts and be ready to fight at any time, and at the same time ordered Wu soldiers everywhere to light lanterns within their own defensive range, ready to resist the attack of Jingzhou soldiers.
However, the two Jingzhou soldiers on Yupu Beach still stopped there to rest until the first watch, and there was no sign of attack.
The Wu soldiers in Zhou Yu's camp have been in a state of first-level combat readiness since the morning, and they have always tightened their heartstrings, but by this time, they were already tired and began to slack off.
At this moment, only a cannon sound was heard behind the battalion, and the two Jingzhou soldiers in front of the battalion launched an attack at the same time.
I saw that the Yupu Beach illuminated by lanterns and torches was bright, and Zhao Yun led the men and horses to kill it.
The Jingzhou soldiers led by Zhao Yun are still shield soldiers playing in the front, holding a shield to block Wu Bing's arrows, advancing step by step, seeing Lu Chai in front, the soldiers behind will throw the torch lantern in their hands to Lu Chai together, and suddenly the fire burned the Lu Firewood, and the fire gradually became fierce, only to hear the sound of the fire of the butt mother-in-law, a raging wall of fire, blocking the road of Jingzhou soldiers' attack, and also illuminating the battlefield of the two armies.
The Jingzhou soldiers were brave, and they even shouted to fight into the camp, so a melee began.
In addition, Wei Yan followed Liu Cong's order, and the night before, led 3,000 elite Jingzhou soldiers to cross the mountains and mountains to ambush between the Wu soldiers' camp and the Pingdingshan Gorge, and waited until the evening, Wei Yan led 300 soldiers onto the avenue and cut off the passage between the camp and the canyon.
At this time, a group of Wu soldiers who came out of the back door of the camp to patrol the canyon saw Wei Ran leading troops to block the road, and they didn't know what was going on.
Seeing the front, Wei Yan gave an order, and three hundred soldiers shot at the same time, and in a while, fifty patrolling Wu soldiers were subdued, and in this way, when the first watch came, four Wu soldiers patrols were subdued in a row.
Wei Yan ordered these patrolling Wu soldiers to take off their clothes and put them on for their own soldiers, and as soon as they packed up their ropes, the convoy of Wu soldiers who came out of the canyon to transport grain and grass arrived in front of them.
Wei Yan saw that there were about 100 carriages, so he stopped the convoy and ordered: "The military situation in front has changed, and I am ordered by the Governor of the Metropolitan to come over to supervise the grain and grass." "The Wu soldiers who were transporting grain and grass didn't understand what was going on, so they became prisoners.
Therefore, Wei Yan left 500 men and horses to guard the valley mouth, and ordered the deputy general with the troops: "Immediately cut down the trees, block the valley mouth, and not allow any Wu soldiers to pass." Then he jumped into the carriage and commanded the men and horses to march towards the camp of the Wu soldiers.
There are only more than three miles to the camp of Wu Bing, and when he saw the gate of the camp, Wei Yan ordered the convoy to stop, and he came over with the prisoners to go through the procedures for entering the camp.
After a while, the formalities were completed, the gate was opened, and the carriages entered the camp one after another.
When Wei Yan saw it, he whispered to the soldiers to fire the cannons,
I could only hear a horn cannon that shook the sky, and when the deputy general of Wu Bing, who was guarding the door, asked in surprise, Wei Yan shouted: "The Jingzhou soldiers have been killed, hurry up and escape." After drinking, he raised his knife and killed the officer guarding the door, and then waved the big knife in his hand and ordered: "Set fire." ”
Suddenly, the fire soared into the sky, and the back door of the shining Wu Bing camp was bright inside and out.
Wei Yan led the troops to kill in the lead, and set fire to them while fighting, and when they reached the middle of the camp, the entire Wu soldier camp had already formed a sea of fire.
The Wu soldiers in the camp didn't know where the fire came from, and when they were in a hurry, Wei Yan led the soldiers all the way to kill them, and killed people when they saw them, so they killed the Wu soldiers and fled in all directions.
At this time, the battle in front of the camp was fierce,
When the first group of Jingzhou soldiers surrendered the lantern torches to the Wu soldiers Luchai, Liu Cong and Zhao Yunzheng stood at the back of the team to direct the battle.
Seeing Deng Bao leading his troops into the Wu soldiers' camp to fight, Liu Cong became enthusiastic and ordered Zhao Yun: "Uncle Zhao is outside to command, commanding our soldiers and horses to attack and kill in batches, I will lead the troops to fight in the vanguard, and go in and lead the troops to fight." ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped and said: "The lord is the commander of the three armies, you can't rush out, you should sit in command, fight in battle, cut the enemy and pull the flag, it is the task of the general, let the last general rush in to fight." ”
Liu Cong shouted anxiously: "Zhao Yun listens to the order. ”
As soon as Zhao Yun heard Liu Cong's order, he hurriedly replied: "The last general, Zhao Yun, listens to the order." ”
"I order you to take a reserve of 5,000 men and horses, and take my command here, and when our army's brigade is killed, you can watch the enemy's formation here, pay attention to the development of the battlefield situation, and once the Wu soldiers break through from here, they will immediately implement a blockade, and the Wu soldiers must not be allowed to escape in this direction."
"The last general commands."
After Liu Cong finished speaking, he ordered the flag soldiers to move behind Zhao Yun with their own banners, and instructed Wang Sheng and Ma Yunshan to obey Zhao Yun's command, and then instructed Liang Zhu'er to rely on the fat man: "Each bring his own men and horses, and follow me into the Wu soldier camp." ”
Liu Cong shouted, clamped his legs, and urged the war horse to get up,
This white horse snow king saw the fight in the firelight, and he couldn't suppress his emotions for a long time, but he didn't see Liu Cong's order, so he had to use his front palm to plow the ground, make a bang-bang sound, and urge this Liu Cong to give an order.
Liang Zhu'er saw it and shouted: "Fatty, let's go up and follow the lord to protect him." "Shout out, and rushed into the Wu soldier camp with his subordinates and horses,
At this time, the fire on both sides of Luchai was urgent, Liu Cong was fast, and when he rushed to Luchai in front of the firelight, the White Horse Snow King hissed, rose into the air, and crossed the wall of fire.
At the moment when the Snow King landed, when Liu Cong looked forward, he saw that the first batch of Jingzhou soldiers who rushed over had already fought with Wu soldiers.
Liu Cong looked at it and shouted: "Snow King, rush to the left." The Snow King couldn't care about hissing, snorted, and carried Liu Cong to Wu Binghou's place to kill.
Liu Cong opened the machete of splitting the mountain, and rode the advance of the Snow King, like waving a broom to sweep the courtyard, and drove all the Wu soldiers behind the wall of fire to escape into the darkness.
At this time, Liang Zhu'er Lai Fatzi rushed over with men and horses to keep up with Liu Cong, and Liu Cong instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Immediately lead the troops to the center of the camp to fight and pick up Wei Yan's soldiers and horses." ”
When Liang Zhu'er heard this, he sharply instructed Lai Fatzi: "The fat man is guarding the lord tightly, and I will fight over there." ”
At this time, under the command of Zhao Yun, Wang Sheng and Ma Yunshan led the troops to kill in batches, and the Wu soldiers inside and outside the gate couldn't parry, and began to fight while retreating to the center of the camp.
When Liu Cong saw it, he dodged behind the soldiers and horses, and commanded Deng Bao Wang Sheng Ma Yunshan to lead the troops to fight, and at this moment, a large number of Wu soldiers rushed out of the central camp, and under the command of Zhu Ran Ling, they resisted desperately, 179
