Chapter 325: Night Attack on Jinhuan Mountain
On a nameless mountain.
No way. Liaodong is full of mountains, and not every mountain is famous.
On this mountain peak, a camp of the Mengyuan people was established. The firelight is as bright as day, and it stands out in the middle of the night.
There are Mengyuan soldiers patrolling in the light and shadow, holding weapons.
Down the hill, not far from the road.
Wu Nian rushed here with Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, elite soldiers, and wounded soldiers.
Wu Nian was still wearing the armor he wore during the day, and his whole body was sweating like rain, so he could only constantly replenish water to relieve it.
No way, even if it's late at night, it's very hot right now. He looked back at the soldiers.
Although everyone is from a mountain background, it is common to cross mountains and mountains. But the soldiers wearing armor and battle armor have also reached their limits.
When you reach your destination, you're staggering. During the afternoon battle, some of the soldiers were seriously wounded and died on the road because they did not have time to be treated.
War is brutal.
In order to drive away the Mengyuan people, the Han people shed too much blood, and it is visible to the naked eye that there will be more blood.
Wu Nian turned his head to look at the mountain ahead.
According to the intelligence, the commander of Mengyuan on this mountain is the newly promoted commander of Jinhuan Mountain, and he has not had time to give himself a Han name.
used the name of Meng Yuan, called Bato, and made good use of a big gun. He led his soldiers to attack Beishan Fort, suffered heavy losses, and was rotated the day before yesterday.
Now the camp is full of wounded Mengyuan soldiers, and there is a serious shortage of personnel.
And judging from the reaction of Wei Huchen, the commander of the thousand commanders under Jin Ruiyun, the Meng Yuan people had no defense against him. The security in this camp is probably very weak.
And there is a similar camp nearby.
During the day, he tried his knife and beheaded Wei Huchen and the six centurions under him. Wu Nian's ambition is a little inflated.
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian looked up at the night, waved back, and said to Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, "Come here." ”
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also rode horses, but they were wearing armor and were also hot dogs. In addition, their physical fitness is not as good as Wu Nian, and they are already on the verge of heat stroke, and they are sitting on the ground taking off their helmets, sticking out their tongues to dissipate heat.
After hearing Wu Nian's call, the two still stood up and came to Wu Nian's side. He bowed and shouted.
"General."
"I want to play bigger. Break through the two camps of Jinhuan Mountain and kill two commanders. I'll take eight hundred soldiers and horses and stay here. ”
"Take more than 1,000 men and attack the camp on the east side."
"If it works, of course it's the best. If it fails, then retreat immediately. When you meet the commander of the other party, don't go up. Have the soldiers shoot with their crossbow arrows. ”
"But our soldiers are on the road overnight, and it's not hot. Breaks are needed. I'm going to rest for an hour and a half. Strike before dawn. ”
"When you get to the bottom of the hill over there, you also start to rest immediately, and you have time to touch it first. When they heard my shouts of killing, they immediately attacked. ”
This is an unplanned change.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were a little surprised and a little afraid. The two of them couldn't do it by force, and when they met Commander Meng Yuan, there was only one word.
Kill.
It was not they who killed the commander of Meng Yuan, but who were killed.
But the two of them are also brave people in the end, and there is no way, they follow Wu Nian. Sheep will also become wolves.
Now they attack at night, suddenly attacking.
The troops of the other party's commander Meng Yuan were seriously damaged, and there were many wounded soldiers.
Their odds of winning are quite high.
And if they can break through the two camps of Jinhuan Mountain together, it will be a respite for Beishan Fort, which is being attacked by a storm.
Although they were a little afraid, after glancing at each other, the two did not hesitate to bend down and salute with fists: "Yes." ”
Wu Nian smiled with relief.
Worthy of being my brothers, none of them are bad seeds.
Even if you might die.
But for the sake of victory, it is still necessary to go up.
Of course, Wu Nian didn't want them to die, but wanted them to live a long life.
After Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng got the order, they immediately counted the soldiers and horses, leaving only 800 elite soldiers for Wu Nian, took most of the elite soldiers, and hurried to the eastern mountain, another camp of the commander of Mengyuan.
Wu Nian first ordered the soldiers to disarm and rest, drink water, eat dry food, and replenish their physical strength. Then he called two pro-soldiers, and with their help, undressed his armor. The footsteps were a little heavy, and he found a rock to sit down, and also drank water and ate dry food.
Of course, they don't have a way to calculate the exact time, they can only make an approximation. When he felt that it was about the same, Wu Nian ordered the whole army to wear armor, and he also called his own soldiers to put on armor.
After more than an hour of rest, he regained his strength, and he was a good man again.
"Let's go." After Wu Nian gave the order, he took out the steel knife at his waist, and took eight hundred soldiers to climb the mountain peak and go to the mountain in the dark night.
They have five ladders.
As Wu Nian expected, in this Mengyuan military camp, the defense was very lax. It can't be said that there is no defense at all, but it is really the middle door wide open.
Needless to say, the wounded soldiers, those who could fall asleep were asleep, and those who were in pain and couldn't sleep were in poor spirits and half dead.
There were not many intact soldiers, and after the siege battle, their physical exertion was huge, and they could fall asleep one by one when they lay down, and their snoring was earth-shattering.
Some of the soldiers who were arranged as guards were also very tired, and there were no strict orders, so they were lazy if they could. Some Mengyuan soldiers, after receiving the order to stand guard, simply found a shadow place that could not be illuminated by the light, and secretly slept beautifully.
Even more outrageous is Captain Barto.
The soldiers are attacking the city, and of course he, the commander of a thousand troops, does not have to go in person. Naturally, he is not tired, but he is greedy.
Meng Yuan was born between the Baishui River and the mountains, and the weather was cold, especially in winter, when the weather was cold and frozen, and the dripping water turned into ice. Almost every man drinks and loves to drink.
He was defenseless, and after the rotation, he began to drink. Tonight, I drank a lot. Now lying in the tent, sleeping like a dead pig, snoring very loudly.
Full of neutrality.
In short, none of the three thousand households in Mengyuan expected that Wu Nian would dare to go out of Beishan Fort, lie in ambush, and launch an attack as a surprise soldier.
In this environment, the defense is just like this.
Moreover, Jinhuan Mountain's attack on Beishan Fort was particularly ferocious, and there were many casualties.
In front of the camp gate.
Wu Nian led 800 elite soldiers and carefully groped for a very close position. Although very careful, very cautious.
But they still had some small movements.
But none of the Mengyuan soldiers guarding them found them.
"!!" Wu Nian only glanced at it and knew that this time he had won. After exhaling a breath, he raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted in a low voice.
The archers immediately divided into two rows, the front row knelt down on one knee, drew their bows in a full circle, and looked ahead ready to take cover.
The soldier, who was carrying five ladders, quickly ran forward, intending to set up the ladder.
