"Ah...... Ah......h

"Whew...... Woo......"

At the third watch, in addition to the howling wind, only the cries of jackdaws and wild wolves echoed in the wilderness. At this time, these two animals are the only ones still active in the wild.

However, if you listen closely, you will see that the echoing cries are a little too frequent, and there is a certain rhythm and rhythm that seems to convey something.

Singing crows and wolves? How can it be?

Chen Liang sniffed hard, and while pulling back the snot that was about to fall on the collar, he was amused by his inexplicable thoughts.

This ghost weather, sure enough, is a little too cold, making my head dizzy, and I would have such a strange thought.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed.

This battle has been endless, from the summer, until the cold winter has not ended, he can't stand it if it's a person. It was rumored in the army that when the army was still in Qingyuan, Qingzhou sent an envoy to sue for peace, and offered quite good conditions, but somehow, it was rejected by General Yuan!

It's really frustrating.

When will I be able to go home? I wonder how my family's harvest is going this year? Is there enough rations for the winter? How's the younger brother's family doing...... I was frugal in the army, but my military salary had been cut, and I had to save up and save nothing, so I went back like this, and I couldn't help my younger brother in family affairs, so it would be good to be able to pass this winter.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, the louder he became, the more sad he became, so much so that he completely forgot his duty.

In fact, he didn't feel that his duties were important. The place where he was located was the easternmost gateway of the company camp, and the Qingzhou Army was on the other side of the river. The defenders of Gaotang and the plains were besieged in the city. Although there are more than these two enemies, there are definitely no more enemies in the plains, and it is just a waste of manpower to stand guard here.

If it weren't for the strict military law, he would have deserted a long time ago.

And now, apart from reminiscing about his family and getting a little warmth, what can he resist the warm tent and hot bed?

Chen Liang, who was immersed in his memories, did not find that it was in the place where the crows and wolf howls were most concentrated. Countless figures were moving in the darkness.

"Team A is assembled!"

"Team B is assembled!"

"Team C ......"

It's quite difficult to assemble in the dark, but if you are prepared and trained, it is not difficult to do it. The crow and the wolf howl are the signals, for this night battle. Wang Yu deliberately selected a group of heralds who were good at imitation.

The crow is the rallying order of the shooting battalion, and the wolf howl is the urging battalion; Different rhythms represent different troops, for example: three long and one short, which is the first song of the third part, and the soldiers who belong to the 200-person establishment will move closer to here.

Of course. When transporting troops, all the troops were transported in the same batch as much as possible, and if everything went well, this method of assembly would not be necessary. But. The technical content of crossing the Yellow River at night is not ordinarily high, and no matter how smooth it is, some accidents will happen.

For now, everything is going well.

"Good. A, Ding Erqu, follow me! Xu Huang nodded with satisfaction. Swinging his big axe, he pointed to the gate of the camp where the lights were flickering in the distance, and then rushed first, and behind him, four hundred soldiers followed closely.

"Brothers, follow me." As soon as Xu Huang left on the front foot, Huang Zhong also ordered four hundred elite soldiers and chased after him.

The two generals competed for the lead, and finally, under Wang Yu's ruling, adopted the tactics of urging the front battalion to assault in front, and the shooting battalion to follow up, echoing back and forth, to ensure the continuous expansion of the results.

The commander of the Urging Battalion is in hand-to-hand combat, and he mostly uses weapons such as halberds and axes, and his ability to attack tough problems is extremely good; Most of the soldiers of the Shooting Battalion had excellent archery skills, and they happened to cover up and kill. The effect of the two battalions cooperating with each other is far better than that of a battalion charging into battle alone.

The rest of the soldiers and horses of the two battalions also adopted the same pattern, one of the first to raid the Yuan battalion. The advantage of this arrangement is that the attack can be launched as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and make the enemy prepared. No matter how late the night is, it is impossible for the Jizhou army to turn a blind eye to the thousands of people under their noses.

The distance of more than ten miles is already considered to be the range that can enter the state of engagement at any time.

……

"Did you hear anything?" Chen Liang was suddenly patted by someone, and when he looked back, he found that it was Zhou Song, a fellow villager who was patrolling with him.

"What sound can it be?" He asked blankly.

"I don't know, but I always feel that something is wrong......" Zhou Song shook his head, what was there, he couldn't say, he just felt uneasy.

"Alas, Wang Pengju is here, and there is another vicious battle to fight, are you afraid? Don't admit it, I'm afraid. Although there are more of us, Wang Peng is fierce. He casually sent a few generals, and he was able to make the army meet in front of such a small city as Gaotang and break the bloodstream, and now that he is here himself, alas, I really don't know how to end the game. ”

While sighing and sighing, while comforting his companions, Chen Liang's words caused a lot of resonance. The patrol team near the camp wall had just been frozen one by one, wilting their heads and drooping their heads, hiding in the leeward place with snot, but now they all came to the camp gate and started to complain.

Some complained that military pay was getting less; Some people feel sad about the tragic siege battle a few days ago, and it is clear that there are relatives and friends in the sequence of the siege troops; There are also people who are angry that Yuan Shao's guards have received superior salaries, but they have never participated in the war.

These are all common problems in the army, and they can't change anything if they say it or not, but getting together to complain and scold bad-hearted officers can somewhat distract some of their attention, and their bodies are not so cold.

Zhou Song never joined, and his comrades were elated, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. At first he thought he was nervous, but soon, his ears could clearly hear the rustling of the wind, and it was ...... Footsteps?

He walked past his comrades, stared into the darkness, leaned forward to make more sure that what he heard was real, and then he saw it...... Shadows swaying in the night!

"Enemy ......" his eyes widened and his mouth widened. Try to shout out what you see.

An arrow flew out of the darkness like lightning and into his gaping mouth, sealing the second word in his throat forever.

The patrolmen were shocked.

Because no one expected to encounter a surprise attack at such a time, they came out to patrol without a specific defensive mission, just a routine patrol according to military regulations. Those who come out on patrol are not punished for making mistakes. It is because of their low status that in the face of such a sudden blow, most people are only dumbfounded.

Not to mention the defensive warnings, they were even scared of their legs, and they couldn't run.

"Woo. Woo, woo......" In fact, there was no need for them to warn, the attacking enemy had realized that they could not continue to stealth, and had reached the ideal position to launch a surprise attack, so the terrible sound of the horn suddenly exploded in the night, dull like thunder.

A majestic figure leaped out of the darkness. The long-handled battle axe in his hand pointed forward, and roared like thunder: "Attack!" Camp! ”

"Camp!" The soldiers who were the vanguards shouted in unison, and rushed forward behind the main commander who was the blade.

The flickering lights of the walled wall were reflected on the blades in the hands of the soldiers. Bursts of cold light were reflected, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast opening and closing, and like a mountain of knives crushed!

didn't wait for Xu Huang to approach, "Let's camp!" Huang Zhong, who couldn't wait for a long time, also broke off. He opened his bow left and right, and shot over the two Jizhou soldiers on the walled wall who were trying to raise their bows to fight back. Lead his subordinates to rush forward.

"Camp!"

"Camp!" In the boundless darkness behind him, like the echo of the valley, countless shouts of killing sounded one after another, and no one knew what many soldiers and horses were hidden in that thick darkness.

Watching the tragic death of his fellow villagers, the unknown enemy soldiers descending from the sky, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, Chen Liang seemed to have fallen into a nightmare. The instinct to survive on the battlefield for many years made him react most reasonably, throwing away his weapon, rolling his head to the ground, and then running away with a roll, and the direction of escape must not be the camp gate, but along other directions of the wall.

In order to ensure the effect of the raid, the Qingzhou army will only deal with the enemy who poses a threat to them, and will not pursue the scattered routs to the end.

Chen Liang's experience is correct, those who reacted otherwise died.

The person who raised the knife was chopped into meat sauce in an instant; Whoever picks up the bow will always be found by the arrows flying out of the darkness, and fall from the wall with a scream; Even if he is already stupid and stands still, as long as he forgets to throw away his weapon, he will inevitably be greeted with a swift blow from a knife and axe.

Then, he watched the enemy general rush to the front of the walled gate, raised the big axe in his hand, swung it down, and the gate was opened!

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, countless enemy soldiers drove straight into the gate of the wall!

"Woo, woo, woo......" The Jizhou military camp was instantly awakened from its dream and let out a piercing scream.

The scattered feathered arrows shot out one after another from near the camp gate, and several soldiers who rushed forward were unfortunately hit by the arrows, screaming and falling. Their screams were instantly drowned out by the roars of the robes.

"Camp!"

"Camp!"

"Camp!"

Wave after wave of Qingzhou soldiers slapped at the enemy like waves, turning the sporadic resistance into powder in an instant.

The guards near the camp gate soon lost their support and turned around and fled deeper into their camp.

One by one, the tents made by Gebu were toppled down, and the looted lanterns and torches were thrown and ignited, along with the soldiers still struggling to survive in the tents. From time to time, Jizhou soldiers ran out of the fire with their pants and were immediately cut to the ground by the nearby Qingzhou soldiers. Whether he still had the strength to resist or not, he made another stab in his throat, and the blood reflected the fire.

"It's over, it's over, it's defeated...... Chen Liang sweated, he finally rolled on the ground, then got up, and rushed into the thick night without looking back.

Comrades in the camp? Checkmate? What does it have to do with yourself? It's just food for soldiers.

The life and death of the army, the rise and fall of Jizhou? It doesn't matter what, the ancients said: National affairs can only be done by meat eaters, so why should they go up to die?
