Chapter 272: Night Attack

was surrounded and beaten by 200,000 people's troops all day, and could only passively defend and support hard, not only Li Liancheng felt very aggrieved, but his subordinates also felt too aggrieved, but there was no way, who made the disparity between the forces of the two sides too great, Zhang Xianzhong was happy, and he didn't accept it to beat me.

Li Liancheng was not happy, so he summoned a few company-level officers to discuss the night attack, even if it could not cause much damage to the Zhang family's army, he had to toss them so that they could not sleep well, so as to buy more time for the arrival of reinforcements on the other side.

All the new army formed by Zhu Jian had much better welfare than the old army, and the food was full, and there was fish and meat every three or two days, and even if there was no fish and meat, the oil and water in the vegetables were sufficient, and when all the people were not well fed and were seriously malnourished, all the soldiers of the new army had at least met the nutrition standard.

This was not enough, Zhu Jian got pork liver, chicken and duck liver and other water every once in a while, and then added wolfberry and other yam to boil soup for the soldiers to drink, as much as possible to increase their night vision ability, and carried out night marching, night raid and other subject training, more training in peacetime, less bloodshed in wartime, now it can be regarded as use, and it is a critical time.

It is dangerous to go out of the city and attack the camp, it can be said that it is a life of nine deaths, Li Liancheng did not assign any troops, but the soldiers voluntarily signed up to form a death squad, of course, the families of the soldiers who died in battle will receive a generous pension, if they can come back alive, the battle achievements will be greater, even if they cannot be promoted, the reward will be higher than other comrades-in-arms.

The 1,000 people in the battalion, in addition to the more than 200 killed and wounded, the remaining more than 700 people all enthusiastically signed up, which was beyond Li Liancheng's expectations, and in desperation, he could only pick out 100 soldiers with good physical strength, cleverness, and good night vision, led by Wei Shuangxi, the commander of the first company, and went out of the city to attack the camp with enough ammunition, dry food and a large number of thunderbolts.

The reason why he had to bring dry food was also to prepare for the worst, in case he was pursued by Zhang Jiajun and could not withdraw to the city, he could only retreat to the nearby mountains and forests to ensure safety Besides, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and Wei Shuangxi, the commander of the first company responsible for leading the team, made his own decisions.

Wei Shuangxi divided the 100 daredevils into two teams, each team of five groups, each group of ten people, and personally led one team to touch the east camp, and the other team to touch the south camp.

Zhang Jiajun trapped the four city gates to death, Zhang Xianzhong's main camp in the west, the alert must be high, Wei Shuangxi led the death squad to sit on the bamboo basket, descended from the city in turn, after the assembly, under the cover of night, quietly touched the Beicheng military camp of Zhang's army.

In order to prevent the other side from stealing the city and camping in the middle of the night, both sides lit piles of bonfires under the city or outside the camp fence, which were like stars in the dark night, even if the night was dark and the wind was high, the stars were like satellite navigation, accurately guiding the direction of the death squad.

Zhangjiajun claimed to be 200,000, the company camp for dozens of miles, the battle flag fluttered like the sea, the spear was like a forest, this momentum alone was enough to scare people out, and stormed the county seat for a whole day, both sides paid a lot of casualties, if there were no reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the county seat of Shanyin was breached.

Although Zhang Xianzhong ordered strict vigilance to prevent the Ming army from attacking and stealing the camp at night, he felt that it was impossible, and the leaders under him did not take it seriously, the order was issued, and the soldiers on duty did not take it seriously.

The windy wilderness at night, and the laziness of the soldiers on duty did not add wood to the piles of burning bonfires, and many of them burned out or were blown out by the strong winds, and the light outside the barracks became darker and darker.

Wei Shuangxi took a hundred daredevils to quietly approach, used sharp military thorns to kill the soldiers on duty who were lazy to sleep, silently touched the side of the camp, observed the enemy camp by the flashing light of the bonfire, and then walked around the camp fence in the dark, and only then climbed over the fence to touch the back camp.

The rear battalion is generally a logistics baggage battalion, a heavy place for stacking all military supplies, a certain distance from the front battalion, farther away from the front line, generally speaking, it is absolutely safe, of course, the vigilance is also very strict, but after Wei Shuangxi led people to kill more than a dozen sentry posts, he smoothly touched in, and the vigilance was so loose that people couldn't believe it.

The death squad members touched into several tents and quietly killed the sleeping people with sharp military thorns.

Under the command of Wei Shuangxi, the daredevils piled up dry thatch, rags and other flammable materials in the granary, set fire to it, and set it on fire along with the tents, while some of the daredevils opened the fence and released the cattle and horses inside, and then most of them retreated, leaving only a group of ten people to cause even more chaos.

The tent grain and grass are all flammable, one point, the wind at night is very strong, the fire is burning with the help of the wind, the smoke is billowing, covering the sky and the sun, and the fire is soon reflected in the sky.

A soldier who got up at night to relieve his hands saw the skyrocketing fire, and was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to react, and he hissed and howled miserably while tying the belt, "Go water, go water......

In fact, without his call, a small group of daredevils who stayed behind desperately threw torches on the nearby tents, ignited the tents, and the billowing smoke woke up the soldiers sleeping inside.

The panicked shouts alarmed the whole battalion, and everyone panicked, and ran out of the tent in disheveled clothes, huddled in a mess, and the figures running around could be faintly seen in the firelight.

"How can a good one catch fire?"

Those big and small leaders were dumbfounded, the fire started by piling up the grain and grass for the whole camp to eat, and they had to put out the fire quickly.

"Quick, hurry up and put out the fire......" the officer shouted, shouting the soldiers to put out the fire.

At this time, several thunderbolts emitting green smoke drew arcs in the night sky, falling into the panicked and dense crowd, and then exploded into clusters of firelight, stumps and broken arms flew everywhere, and the screams were endless, and the entire military camp instantly became more and more chaotic.

"Enemy attack...... Enemy attack ......"

"Help......

"Help me...... I don't want to die......"

Panicked cries and terrible cries for help mingled, and the whole barracks became chaotic, and the frightened soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Another series of explosions sounded, and the soldiers were blown down, and the cattle and horses and other livestock that were released were frightened, spreading their hooves and rampage, and many panicked soldiers were knocked into the air, trampled by iron hooves, and trampled on themselves, killing and wounding many people, and many died in the flames.

The ten daredevils who stayed behind threw two waves of thunder in the sky, blowing up the soldiers who wanted to put out the fire into flesh and blood, holding their heads and running away.

Almost at the same time, the southern camp was also in flames, and the panicked shouts were mixed with the sound of thunderous explosions, and the entire southern camp was also plunged into a sea of fire and chaos.

Li Liancheng and others stood at the head of the city, and saw the two military camps in the southeast of Zhangjiajun in the distance, and the panicked shouts rang out, and they all cheered.

Wei Wenshan smiled and said, "Battalion Commander Li, do you think Zhang Xianzhong will be so angry that he vomits blood?" ”

Targeted poverty alleviation, special person and special account, no way, I have to go to the countryside tomorrow, take a day off, please forgive me.
