Chapter 488: Assassination
The patrol soldiers still didn't see who it was, but since they came from the princes' army, they didn't expect anything wrong, so they also put down their high hearts, and quipped: "Startle me, I thought it was the Xiliang army coming to sneak attack." ”
The sleeping patrolman rolled over, looking for a comfortable position, muttering something without knowing what to do.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you? The patrol waited for the soldiers to enter, surprised.
The soldier sneered, stepped forward, and held the patrolman's mouth, the three-edged army thorn was like a poisonous snake, touching the patrolman's neck, blood gushing out, the patrolman could only make a gentle whimper, his eyes widened, and he looked at the soldier in front of him in a daze, he really didn't understand, weishenme robe Ze would shoot at him.
The tactics quickly solved the soldiers guarding the camp, and did not alarm the princes in the camp.
The gate of the camp was creaked open, and two torches were waved on the camp.
The cavalry, which had long been ready to go, under the leadership of Ma Teng, slaughtered the princes' army.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was especially loud in the silent night, and among the army, one by one the tents were set on fire, and the soldiers among them broke out in exclamation, shouting for help, and the princes' military camps instantly boiled.
"Kill!" Ma Teng roared in a low voice, took the lead, and killed the army of the princes, who had been defeated by the halberd warriors before, and the resentment in his heart could be imagined, and he would definitely find some face in this battle.
Each cavalryman had a torch in his hand, and after breaking into the camp of the coalition army, he did not kill the enemy, but kept burning the soldiers' tents, making the camp of the princes chaotic.
The princes' army was in chaos, and the soldiers who were looking around in a daze, I don't know who shouted "The Xiliang army has come in", causing the soldiers to flee one after another, falling and being trampled to death, I don't know how much.
After Yuan Shao heard the news of the soldiers' return, he hurriedly got up, raised the banner of the Chinese army, and began to gather the soldiers.
"How many people are on the other side?" Yuan Shao saw a scout coming in a hurry and asked.
"Alliance leader, it's dark outside, I don't know how many of these people there are, but they are covered in black armor all over their bodies, and they are those people during the day."
Yuan Shao gasped, he didn't expect Jia Rong to have such courage, attacking the camp at night, the Xiliang army did not move for many days, and it was such a big gesture when he came up, looking at the flames that continued to burn in the camp, Yuan Shao's face instantly turned iron-blue, and he didn't care about finding the fork of the general guarding the camp, and hurriedly sent soldiers to meet the enemy.
The lone wolf soldiers are all brave people, it is difficult to meet the enemy, galloping in the camp, invincible, the coalition soldiers along the way have avoided it, before the small life and the enemy, they have no hesitation to choose the small life as the priority.
The Chinese army's banner of "Yuan" was faintly visible in the firelight, and the coalition soldiers who were headless like flies approached in the direction of Yuan Shao.
At the same time, dozens of black shadows touched a corner of the coalition camp and turned over and dismounted, threw the torches in their hands without hesitation, and then joined the torrent of coalition soldiers approaching the banner of the Chinese army.
"On fire?" Yuan Shao muttered.
A flash of fire covered all the tents' flames, and the sky turned red.
After Ma Teng led the lone wolf soldiers to wander around the allied camp, he happily rushed back to the pass, looked back at the messy coalition camp, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hmph, if you want to start a war with the Xiliang army, don't look at how many catties and taels you have, don't think that you can win with a large number of people." ”
The main role of the lone wolf soldier is to completely turn the coalition camp into chaos, so that the soldiers who are lurking in the dark can set the food and grass of the coalition camp on fire.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, the day has just been defeated in the hands of the lone wolf soldiers, and the night has been so out, Yuan Shao felt a hot pain on his face, in such a situation, what kind of attack to talk about, I am afraid that when the next time the grain and grass arrive, it may be when, although Jizhou is rich, there is not much surplus grain in his hands, it seems that he can only borrow grain from other princes.
Finally extinguished the fire burning on the camp tent, fortunately it is summer, even if the camp tent is lost, there is nothing wrong with sleeping in the open air, but the direction of the grain and grass is still red, and the faces of all the princes can no longer remain calm, today is the Yuan army, maybe tomorrow night will be their grain and grass, and secretly decided in their hearts that they must strengthen the patrol and not give the Xiliang army any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Let's go back to camp for the time being, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!" Yuan Shao's tone could not hide his sadness, commanding more than 300,000 troops, raising troops to invade Hangu Pass, how strong, he didn't expect that the grain and grass were burned by the enemy at a critical time, he really wanted to slap himself hard, and read the military books freely, of course, he understood the importance of grain and grass to the army, and he didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake.
"What are you doing?" Outside the tent, the voice of a soldier suddenly sounded.
Yuan Shao did not rest in the big tent, and hurriedly started when he heard the words, and shouted: "What's the matter? ”
A guard walked in and said respectfully: "Alliance leader, just now a soldier passed by here, saying that the army was in chaos and did not find a way back. ”
Yuan Shao almost laughed out loud and waved his hand to signal the guards to leave.
After the soldier left Yuan Shao's tent, he did not leave eagerly, but patrolled not far away, as if he was looking for something.
"The lord ordered me to come and ask to see General Yan!" The soldier clenched his fist at the guards guarding the tent.
"It's so late, what will happen to the alliance leader looking for General Yan?" The guard muttered softly.
"How can you easily inquire about the affairs of the lord, and go and report it quickly." The soldier shouted righteously.
The guard shrunk his neck, the soldier in front of him may be someone from Yuan Shao's side, he can't be offended, maybe after pleasing him, there will be many benefits "This big brother, I have worked hard from afar, now I will rest here for a while, I will go and inform General Yan." The guard said.
The soldier waved his hand and said: "What is coming from afar, it's only a few steps, I'll go by myself, otherwise General Yan will ask questions in a while, and it will be troublesome, the lord is very anxious this time, it is estimated that it is because of the fire in the camp." ”
The guard let out an "oh" and made a gesture of please, he also knew that the burning of grain and grass this time was very important, and he did not dare to delay.
"General Yan, the lord ordered me to come and ask the general to go to the big tent to talk about it, saying that there is something important to inquire about." The soldier hugged his fists.
Yan Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "I already know about this matter, you can go back for the time being, I will be there later." ”
"Please General Yan hurry up, the lord is anxiously waiting for his humble duty to return to his life." The soldier urged.
Yan Liang got up and walked in the direction of the soldiers, since the camp was ravaged by the Xiliang army, he couldn't sleep, the defense of the camp has always been very tight, even if most of the people patrolling are sleeping, the cavalry should be aware when they charge.
"Let's go!" Yan Liang said to the soldiers, suddenly shocked, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous, and he hurriedly dodged to avoid it, which was obtained from years of experience in the battlefield.
A weapon that Yan Liang had never seen before appeared in the soldier's hand, although he avoided the mortal blow, the weapon still stabbed the chest, and the blood accompanied the soldier to pull out the weapon, flowing out like a spring, Yan Liang tried his best to cover it with his hand, but it still had little effect.
Fierce in his heart, ignoring the wound on his chest, he yelled "There are assassins!" He drew his sword and headed for the soldiers.
The soldier didn't seem to know how much his current situation was, so he was not afraid, shook the blood and minced meat on the weapon, and killed Yan Liang, regardless of Yan Liang's sword, the weapon went towards Yan Liang's neck, if he was stabbed this time, Yan Liang would definitely be killed.
Yan Liang He had seen such a lifeless way of playing, he even ignored his own offensive, hurriedly returned to help, he felt that the chest that was stabbed was very painful, with the flow of blood, his face gradually turned from red to pale, and the soldiers' moves were all straight to the point, completely ignoring Yan Liang's sharp offensive, in this way, it was Yan Liang who was at a disadvantage, without him, the status of the soldier in front of him, how could he be compared with Yan Liang, the general of the Jizhou Army.
When the guards outside the tent heard the movement, they hurriedly drew their weapons and broke into the tent.
At this time, Yan Liang was already in danger, he was stabbed in the chest, and he was also stabbed in the thigh, although the two injuries were not serious, but the blood kept flowing out, if it continued like this, no matter how strong a person was, he would fall, Yan Liang knew that all this was caused by the weapons in the hands of the soldiers opposite.
With the intrusion of the guards outside the camp tent, Yan Liang was able to take a moment of respite and quietly watch the battle in the field.
But seeing that the soldier was very agile, ordinary weapons were difficult to get close, the weapons in his hands flew up and down, and those who were stabbed fell to the ground and wailed, Yan Liang saw such a weapon stabbed on his body, and after pulling it out, it was a big blood hole, and the blood was like a spring, which could not be blocked at all, how could ordinary people bear it.
As more and more soldiers broke in, the strangely armed soldier escaped from the camp after killing one more person and dozens of coalition soldiers chasing after him, constantly shouting "There are assassins!" ”
The coalition army has a large number of people, and it has an advantage against the Xiliang army, but in such a large camp, it becomes a little difficult to find a soldier, this is the princes' coalition army, not the Jizhou army, you can't angrily break into the camp of the other party because your own general was stabbed, it can be said that as long as you cross the camp of the Yuan army, Yuan Shao will definitely not go to search.
There was Lang Zhong in the army, Yuan Shao learned that Yan Liang was stabbed by the assassin, and hurriedly ordered Lang Zhong to go to the rescue, and he also hurried over, Yan Liang was an important general under his command, especially in the battle of Bingzhou, which established his name as the first general of the Yuan army.
"How do you feel?" Yuan Shao asked with concern.
Yan Liang's face was a little pale, and his lips trembled slightly, and he replied: "Lord, there is no big deal with the humble position. ”
"Who is the assassin?" Yuan Shao saw the soldiers lying down in the camp tent, and said coldly.
