Chapter 342: Night Attack
Somewhere on the battlefield outside the Youyuan Fortress, which had been turned into a scorched earth, dozens of soldiers were slowly cleaning up the battlefield, casually communicating with each other, obviously a little absent-minded.
Ye Xing and the others hid in the bushes, taking in all the scenes in their eyes.
"Looks like there's a lot of disagreement within the Western Frontier Army, Childe. Wang Li, who was wearing full body armor, said to Ye Xing secretly.
The vigilance of the dozens of soldiers in front of them was very poor, and their words were often whining and complaining, and it seemed that they did not seem to be willing to come here to fight.
Thinking about it like this, Ye Xing faintly understood why Zhao You's infiltration work had such an effect.
It's just that although these people have a lot of good feelings for Zhao You in their hearts, it is extremely difficult to rebel like this.
At this point, I am afraid we will have to continue to wait for the opportunity.
Now that the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Western Frontier Army are approaching the city, although there are many different voices inside, due to the personal power and huge military strength of Commander Yu, these voices have also been suppressed.
If they want to successfully control more soldiers and give successful backstabs, then what Ye Xing and the others have to do is to release all kinds of voices within the Western Territory Army.
And if you want to unleash these different voices, then you have to win a big battle.
The victory or defeat of a major battle is enough to weaken the personal prestige of the Yu Commander, and it is also enough to weaken the opponent's huge army.
At that time, coupled with the secret operation of Zhao You and others, it was enough to make this huge army of people disorderly.
At that time, for Youyuan Fortress, the Western Frontier Army in front of you will be able to solve it better and easier.
Forts often disintegrate from within.
"Looking at the scene, it is estimated that the war reserves of the fortress have been almost depleted, and if they attack the fortress again, it is estimated that a tug-of-war will be formed. ”
Ye Xing nodded.
When everyone heard this, a glint flashed in their eyes.
Without long-range suppression, it means that the defenders of Youyuan Fortress will either rely on the fortress for defense, or they can only get out of the fortress and fight the opponent on the scorched earth.
The latter is obviously extremely disadvantageous for the Weishui Army, because the number of the Weishui Army is too small, although the overall realm is very high.
But if it is placed on such a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, it is also extremely powerless.
Even if the formation can be completely released, there will be a high probability that it will be a separate battle.
In this way, the Western Frontier Army only needs to send a team of elites to have a high probability of breaking through the city gates and then occupying the entire fortress.
After all, the ratio of forces between the two sides is indeed a hard wound for the Weishui Army.
After the dozens of soldiers in front of everyone collected the valuable weapons and armor, they threw out a fire to devour the pile of corpses that had been piled up high in the sea of fire.
After all this was done, the group of soldiers left the place, still chatting with each other and talking about things along the way.
"Alright, let's go. Ye Xing said loudly.
Now their business is to return to the fortress, and it doesn't make any sense for them to deal with these dozens of soldiers at the moment, and they may even expose their tracks.
That's why they didn't make any moves, and they didn't leave the bushes until the other side finished cleaning up the battlefield.
As soon as everyone left the bushes, Ye Xing's messenger received a message, which was from Gu Xun.
"So, the fortress is completely besieged?" Ye Xing asked with a frown.
"Yes, so I decided to ask Li Goudan to bring someone to pick you up, their camp is not far away, there are not enough people for you to go back to the fortress. ”
"Well, the direction is ...... When the time comes, we will join them. ”
The bright light of the fire reflected everyone's armor red, and everyone glanced at it, and then continued to walk in the direction of Youyuan Fortress.
Along the way, there were broken weapons and armor everywhere, all the dirt was charred and black, and the air was mixed with a choking smell that was extremely uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that I had seen this as a grassy mountain before, I am afraid that everyone would have thought that they were in a hell somewhere.
Of course, judging by the current scene, it is not unreasonable to say that this is a hell.
Hell on earth, couldn't be more appropriate.
Just when everyone was bent over and hid their tracks towards Youyuan Fortress, the city walls of Youyuan Fortress at this time were already occupied by dense soldiers.
"Sons, follow me!"
There were no extra words, Li Gou's head was raised, and he took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak towards the battlefield with two maces.
The remaining 1,000 soldiers also clenched their swords and dived forward.
At this time, in the position between Ye Xing and Li Goudan, the soldiers of the Western Territory, who did not know what would happen, were patrolling and keeping vigil.
At the sentry at the forefront of Youyuan Fortress, a soldier felt a rush of urine and took a few steps forward, ready to solve his personal problems.
However, just as he was about to untie his pants, his expression suddenly panicked.
"Enemy ......"
Boom –
"Solve!" a Weishui soldier gently placed the man on the ground and made a gesture.
Immediately, several figures of the soldiers of the Weishui Army swept towards the front, and as several soldiers moved, one after another attacked the camp of the Western Frontier Army under the cover of night.
"Remember, while welcoming Childe, we also have to take as much supplies from this camp as possible. ”
Li Goudan's voice kept echoing in everyone's hearts, and this was a secondary task that they had decided on before they set off.
Although there are still a lot of reserves in the fortress, you can't go home empty-handed when you go out.
However, after all, greeting Ye Xing is the main task, so the secondary task will only be done if the main task can be completed.
Although the entire Youyuan Fortress was completely besieged by the Western Frontier Army, the siege adopted by the Western Frontier Army was not a siege in which the entire front was completely connected, but a pattern in which the camps were connected to each other to encircle the fortress.
The connection between each camp was where the West's defenses were weakest, but it was also where they were most rapidly reinforced.
Because it is on the edge of two camps, once it is discovered, a large number of soldiers will go out to reinforce the two camps.
When that time comes, they will be besieged by two armies of camps.
Therefore, Li Goudan did not choose the edge of the camp that looked the easiest and least armed, but the center of the camp that looked the most difficult to capture.
After all, as long as the center of the camp is solved quickly, it will take a lot of time for even the camp around it to be quickly reinforced.
Such a step is a dangerous move for the situation where the strength of the soldiers on both sides is about the same, but it is extremely good for the elite Weishui Army.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no material storage at the edge of the two camps.
And the connection at the edge of the camp is also very similar to the flaws deliberately exposed by the other party.
