Chapter 424: Night Attack
readx;? The celebration didn't last long, in fact, it was just a lunch, nothing more than the food was a little better than usual, and the wine was a little more than usual. www.biquge.info After all, Ye Chen, who is well versed in the art of war, knows that if he drinks on the battlefield and commits a serious crime, there will definitely be a catastrophe.
After eating, Ye Chen and Liu Xun went to inspect the military camp non-stop. Although this city was captured, the military camp was not in the city, after all, the rebel army had 200,000 horses, and a small city could not fit so many people, not to mention that Ye Chen had made a military order not to disturb the people, so he set up the camp outside the city.
200,000 troops, 100,000 Chinese troops, because Jingming personally commanded, so Yu Jingming did not live in the city, but sat in the camp. The front army was 70,000, because of the command of Zhengyuan, Yu Zhengyuan naturally lived in the camp, and the rear army escorted grain and grass supplies, a total of 30,000 horses, led by Liu Xun.
After all, Liu Xun only arrived today with grain and grass.
"Brother Ye, do we want to attack the enemy camp at night?" Coincidentally, Hu Hongfeng had the idea of attacking at night, and after hearing the battle situation, Liu Xun also had the idea of attacking the enemy camp at night, so he asked when he inspected the barracks.
"Don't go. Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Jiulong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very difficult to attack the enemy camp at night, and when the time comes, it will lose troops and generals." ”
"But our army has won consecutive victories, just when the momentum is like a rainbow, it is a pity to waste it like this. Liu Xun frowned when he heard this.
"Brother Liu, rest assured, this morale will naturally have a time to vent. Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"What does Brother Ye mean......?" Liu Xun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.
Ye Chen didn't answer, just stretched his waist and said, "Pass the order, let the soldiers of the three armies go back to the camp to sleep, and only those who patrol and guard will be on guard, be careful." ”
"Sleep?" Han Xue on the side glanced at Ye Chen when she heard this, "Will you lead the troops, what time did you go to bed at this hour?
"Sister Xiaoxue, you don't understand this. When Long Xin heard this, he immediately put on a triumphant appearance of being a prophet, "There was just a battle in the morning, and now the soldiers must be tired, Ye Chen is to let them rest well, and start attacking Jiulong Mountain tomorrow!"
"Sister Long Xin is half right, but not all right. Ye Chen smiled and said, "If the enemy army loses a game, it will definitely not be convinced, and the morale of the enemy army will also be affected." I heard you say that Hu Hongfeng is a battle-hardened veteran, so he naturally knows how important morale is, so he will definitely find a way to restore morale. ”
"To restore morale, it is not possible to clash with us head-on, so if I am not mistaken, the enemy will inevitably attack the enemy camp at night. Ye Chen squinted his eyes and analyzed, "Now let the soldiers sleep, nourish their spirits, and catch turtles in an urn at night!"
Liu Xun suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded: "I understand, let's go and pass the military order!"
With that, Liu Xun turned around and went down. Ye Chen and the others wandered around the barracks again, and then asked Long Wu and the others to go back to the city first, and walked to the big tent with Shan Candle in their arms, and found Yu Jingming, who was talking to Mr. Hai.
"I've seen Sect Master Ye!" Yu Jingming was very polite to Ye Chen, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"The prime minister is polite. Ye Chen returned the salute, "I have something to say to you." ”
"Sect Master Ye sits, if there is anything to do, just command. Yu Jingming hurriedly said.
Ye Chen nodded, saluted Mr. Hai again, and then sat down and said, "I calculated that the enemy army would come to attack the barracks at night, so I want to ask Prime Minister and Mr. Hai to make some small moves." ”
"Do you mean to deal with Hu Hongfeng?" Mr. Hai was stunned when he heard this, "I was also talking to Prime Minister Yu about the night attack just now, I think that Hu Hongfeng, as the commander of the enemy army, should not come to the sneak attack in person, and the sect master does not have to worry." ”
"No, although it has something to do with Hu Hongfeng, it's not a night attack. Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "I want Mr. Hai and Prime Minister Yu to burn Hu Hongfeng's grain and grass together." ”
"Burn his grain and grass?" Yu Jingming heard this, and glanced at Mr. Hai.
"Yes. Ye Chen nodded and said, "Grain and grass are the top priority of the marching army, not to mention that they are still on Jiulong Mountain, if they want to replenish the supply of grain and grass, there are only two places, one is the city we occupy now, and it will definitely not be able to be replenished now." The other is Qifeng City behind Jiulong Mountain, we only need to destroy his food and grass supplies, and then surround Jiulong Mountain and send troops to occupy Qifeng City. In this way, there will be no grain and grass in Jiulong Mountain, and if I use a little trick, Jiulong Mountain will naturally be self-defeating!"
"That's right, why didn't I think of it!" Yu Jingming patted his thigh and said excitedly, "After occupying Qifeng City, the only place that can supply grain and grass to Hu Hongfeng's army is Wu Sui Pass, but Wu Sui Pass is three thousand miles away from here, and once it comes back and forth, unless Hu Hongfeng goes in person, even if it is a master of the Nine Heavens of the Transformation God Realm, it will take at least two months to fly with all his might! In this way, Jiulong Mountain will naturally be self-defeating!"
Mr. Hai also nodded and said, "Well, when Hu Hongfeng sends someone to attack at night, I will go with Prime Minister Yu in person and burn Hu Hongfeng's grain and grass supplies!"
"There's Mr. Laohai. Ye Chen nodded and said.
"But what about the night attack? If I burn their grain and grass, there will be no one to command the three armies. Yu Jingming said again.
"If I'm not mistaken, in this night attack, the enemy army will send at most two or three generals from the Transformation God Realm to lead the troops, and I will lead the troops to resist. Ye Chen said.
"There's Sect Master Laoye. Yu Jingming was relieved. Having Ye Chen commanding the three armies is more reassuring to Yu Jingming than Yu Jingming personally commanding, after all, Ye Chen's art of war strategy has already been seen by Yu Jingming along the way, and it is not much better than Hu Hongfeng's battle-hardened future.
"Mr. Nahai and the prime minister have a good rest, and I will leave first. Ye Chen nodded, and after speaking, he walked out of the military tent.
This afternoon, it can be regarded as calm, Yu Jingming's army is almost sleeping, and only the guards and patrolling soldiers are still on guard. And Hu Hongfeng was also quietly preparing for a night attack, and did not come to call for battle again.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sun had set, and a bright moon was half-hidden in the sky, like a shy girl, who just refused to let the world see her appearance clearly.
Hu Lian'er took advantage of the night, and the two generals Zhang and Wang each ordered their soldiers and horses, quietly touched Jiulong Mountain under the cover of night, and set up an ambush fifty miles outside the city, quietly waiting for the third watch.
"General Hu, I'll go first. When it came to the third watch, General Wang said to Hu Lian'er.
Hu Lian'er nodded and said, "General Wang is careful in everything, remember not to fall in love with war, just retreat as a show, as long as the rebels are brought here, I have my own way to deal with him." ”
"The last will understand. General Wang bowed his hand, flew on his horse, and led three thousand light horsemen to the barracks.
At this time, the camp of the rebel army was still quiet, Ye Chen was sitting in the big tent in the center with his armor and stomach, laughing and laughing with Shan Candle, and chatting with Gongzi Ya, Long Wu and others in the tent.
"I said, Ye Chen. Long Xin held her cheeks and said while looking at Ye Chen, "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome in armor." ”
At this time, Ye Chen was wearing a bright silver tiger head armor, a silver-white cloak, and he was not wearing a helmet, and his long black hair was still tied with a jade crown. This is still Yu Xiangming's armor, Ye Chen thought about marching and fighting, if he didn't wear it, he wouldn't look like it, so he asked Yu Jingming for it. It just so happened that Xiang Ming's figure was almost the same as Ye Chen, so he took it off on the spot and put it on for Ye Chen, saying that he still had a pair.
"Hehe, I've never worn it yet. Ye Chen smiled, "But where did you get such a pair of armor?"
The three of Long Wu also wore armor, different from ordinary armor, they were chain-fitted soft armor, tied to their bodies, and the graceful figures of the three were vividly embodied, but they did not lose their heroic spirit, and they didn't know how many sergeants looked straight when they walked in the camp tent.
"The Star Academy often has experience, the demonic beasts of the Sunset Mountain Range are annoyed, and sometimes they will organize an army to besiege us, so there are also clothes in the Star Academy, but you didn't get it yourself. Dragon Dance explained, "These drapes were all personally refined by the elders of the Star Academy, and they were engraved with formation prohibitions, which can neutralize many attacks. ”
"Really?" Ye Chen was also interested when he heard this, "When I go back to the Imperial Dragon Sect, let the Cardinal Hall get some out." ”
"Brother Ye doesn't have to bother so much, there are some here, if Brother Ye likes it, I'll give it to you." Gongziya said with a smile, and really took out a bunch of armor from the storage ring and hung it on the ground.
"These are all made of demonic beast skins, although they are not as generous as the Star Academy, and they are engraved with prohibitions in them, but they are more than enough for martial artists below the God Transformation Realm to wear. "Childe Ya said.
"Huh, where did Brother Ya get so many drapes?" Liu Xun on the side was surprised when he saw this, "It's all made of demonic beast skin, even if it's in Guyue~ Empire, only generals are qualified to wear it." ”
"Report!" Without waiting for Gongziya to reply, a small soldier rushed in from outside the tent and knelt on the ground, "Military Division, as expected, the enemy army is attacking the camp!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded and said, "How many people are here?"
"The night was covered, and the little ones didn't know how many there were, but they could only hear the drums and see the flags, about eight or nine thousand. The soldier replied.
"Eight or nine thousand?" Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, night attacks on enemy camps are generally light and simple, and the number of people will not be large, Ye Chen thought that it would not exceed four thousand at most, but he didn't expect Hu Hongfeng to come to eight or nine thousand.
"The last general thought that it should be Hu Hongfeng's old thief who knew that he was not an opponent, so he sent some more people over, Brother Ye, you see ......" Liu Xun saw Ye Chen's thoughts, and said softly on the side.
Ye Chen didn't express his opinion, but said: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow me to meet the enemy!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen made a move and strode out.
Everyone hurriedly followed behind Ye Chen, and as soon as they came out of the big tent, they saw that the lights were bright all around, and the soldiers picked up the guys and lined up to meet the enemy outside the barracks. The Yin Tiger on the side turned into a Yan Tiger and let Ye Chen straddle it, sit on his back, and fly into the air.
Outside the camp, General Wang was trying to break through the gate of the camp, but fortunately, Ye Chen was on guard and let the soldiers sleep in the afternoon, so it was difficult for the enemy to break through for a while.
"Give the order to go down, let the soldiers guarding the gate retreat, and let the enemy in. Ye Chen instructed Liu Xundao, who flew into the air closely, "Let me let you watch a good show of closing the door and beating the dog today." ”
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered.
"Line up and get out of the middle gate. Ye Chen commanded again.
Liu Xun took out the order flag and waved it. When the soldiers saw the Lingqi, they immediately understood what Liu Xun meant, and lined up their military formations, leaving only the middle road to let the enemy army enter the village.
