Chapter 116: All-Out Counterattack (3)
The moon was in the sky, the starry sky was thousands of miles, as the night fell, carrying resentment, and then storming the city with heavy casualties, the army of Bian and Han, after leaving thousands of corpses, slowly retreated to the camp thirty miles away, so that the lively Meiyang City returned to dead silence.
However, compared to the quiet after night a few days ago, the silence of Meiyang City today is a little special, this dead silence is more like the tranquility before the killing, under the starry sky, the black Meiyang City, like a beast prostrate on the ground, ready to strike a fatal blow.
Yes, Meiyang City is very special today, the defenders in the city not only took the initiative to attack and fight the enemy, but also closed the camp early to rest.
In the face of such a big movement, the sergeants in the city also realized that something big had happened, and when the military order was issued, those veterans who had long been accustomed to war reacted first, and then they did not care about the other noisy recruits, and soon fell asleep.
Just as the veteran thought, as soon as the night came, when the whole army was woken up, all the soldiers received a finger-long wooden stick, and the cavalry even had an extra rank.
Seeing these two things, all the soldiers who were packing up their ordnance and armor understood the reason, and soon under the clear night sky, groups of soldiers gathered at the city gate.
"General Qiyu has removed the 10,000 horses guarding the city, and the other army of 128,000 people has been assembledγγγγ" In the north of Meiyang City, with the sound of clanging weapons, a tall figure walked quickly to the city tower and whispered.
"Order, the four doors are opened, the people are in the grass, the horses are in order, slowly advancing, no matter who makes a sound, they will be killed on the spot" Hearing the sound of the request, the golden armor general who supported the wall and looked at the starry sky instructed sharply.
The military order of "Nuo γγγγ" was like a mountain, and the person who reported it did not dare to hesitate, and immediately turned around and left.
"Junhou, although the enemy army is a little tired after fighting today, but our army is so desperate to sneak attack it, if it is defeated, then there will be no strength to fight again, please be cautious" Watching the messenger leave with a worried face, Yuan Peng took a breath and reminded.
Yes, Yuan Qi is very anxious at the moment, he didn't expect Jiang Qi's first battle to react so much after being silent for a long time, as soon as he came out, looking at Jiang Qi who has changed his face many times over the past few months, even if he is old and strong, but Yuan Peng can't figure out why, and even at the moment, Yuan Peng is wondering if Jiang Qi is doing it on a random basis.
Before the expedition, someone disturbed the morale of the army, and it stands to reason that he should be punished, but when Yuan Peng finished speaking, Jiang Qi, who was holding the wall, turned his face with a pleasant face, and said with confidence: "General Yuan rest assured, Qi will not play with the lives of the soldiers, tell you the truth, Ben Hou studied under Taoism in his early years, learned a set of divination numbers, these days Ben Hou watched the sky at night, and now he pinched his fingers and calculated, and concluded that the enemy army was rebellious, and it has touched the heavens, and there will be a fire in the sky tonight, give punishment, Therefore, as long as our army seizes this opportunity, our army will win this battle, General Yuan, you will prepare wine in the city and wait for the celebration! β
Listening to Jiang Qi's confident words, coupled with his face that had become a little gloomy in the moonlight, Yuan Tong inadvertently shivered and immediately shut his mouth.
However, it is unknown whether Yuan Peng's fear is out of the will of God for Jiang Qi, or for Jiang Qi's child's play.
Of course, Jiang Qi, who left with a smile, didn't have the heart to guess Yuan Peng's thoughts, and now he only needed to see his generals talking about it, and his goal had been achieved.
With Jiang Qi's order, the Meiyang who had not been opened for several months slowly opened in a heavy sound, and when the suspension bridge on the moat was lowered, the Meiyang City that had been opened by the four doors turned into a snake cave, spitting out long steel snakes continuously.

"Cousin, can't you! Why don't you wait for the younger brother to directly lead the team to rush over" Just when the army of Meiyang City came out, located on the edge of a small forest outside the camp of the border and Han, there was a small team working at the moment, and when the moonlight was high, one of them asked without bothering.
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I tried it for my brother during the day, as long as it is placed, it can be easily thrown into the enemy camp from here, if Brother Qi is bored, it is better to go to the forest to take a rest, the time is still very early" Hearing the complaint, after years of precipitation, Jiang Biao, who has now become stable, said with a smile.
"I knew that I would have changed with the second brother, but now I have nothing to do here except for the just cleared, it is better for the second brother to go with Yan Ming to support General Zilong, maybe they are all done at this moment" Facing Jiang Biao's smiling face, Xu Qi pointed the big knife in his hand to the ground and still complained.
As early as the day, Xu Qi and his second brother Xu Chu received an order together, Jiang Qi asked them to each bring a Qilin guard, one to meet Zhao Yun's army, and one to cover Jiang Biao's camp to sneak attack the enemy camp.
"Brother Qi, how can you be discouraged, you should know that what we have done is the key to victory or defeat, you see that there are 100,000 enemy troops living there in the enemy camp six hundred steps away, if our mission is completed this time, they will be in chaos, as long as the enemy camp is in chaos, Brother Bo Xiaoxian can wave his army to cover up and kill, as long as our army wins, how can you and I be compared to killing two thieves" Seeing Xu Qi's sullen appearance, Jiang Biao hurriedly put down his work and analyzed.
Now that the war is imminent, whether the matter of the explanation can be completed, Jiang Biao is indispensable to the three hundred unicorn guards brought by Xu Qi, how dare he let the young Xu Qi do something bad at this moment.
"Although the words are reasonable, but since the expedition, the younger brother's knife has not seen blood, the current big battle, if you can't kill the enemy, then what's the point of joining the army, brotherγγγ younger brother can I hear that the last time I encountered the enemy, you killed a thousand commanders wearing leather armor, and then Boxiao's cousin also rewarded you with a jar of wine, right!" Listening to Jiang Biao's persuasion, Xu Qi naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, but when he touched the exquisite broadsword, he was apprehensive.
"Brother Qi, you are not bad, you escorted our battalion all the way to get here, but on the way you killed dozens of enemy scouts" was mentioned as a proud work, Jiang Biao couldn't help but smile, and naturally praised it later.
"Whatγγγ that's what happened to the little brother Guan who Qilinwei shot by himself" Hearing the unearned work, Xu Qi muttered depressedly.
"Okay, okay, there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and now that the matter is urgent, let's do the right thing first! It's a big deal, when the two armies start a war, let's just rush and kill togetherγγγγ" Jiang Biao looked at Xu Qi's tangled appearance, and suggested helplessly.
"Really, the elder brother has made up his mind, and the younger brother will go to sharpen the knife" Hearing Jiang Biao's proposal, Xu Qi had the spirit at that time, and he jumped up at once.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Wuzhang Yuan is located at the west end of the Qinchuan River in 800 miles, the south is close to the Qinling Mountains, the north is adjacent to Weishui, the east and west are deep ditches, although this place is small, but it is a dangerous place leading to Chang'an in Yizhou.
It is also because of the danger of Wuzhang Plain, this place has become the retreat that Bian Zhang and others are looking for, and now Wuzhang Yuan has been filled with grain and grass scavenged by the army of Bian and Han everywhere, and there are more than 300 granaries built high and low.
With the hoarding of grain and grass, even if the battle is defeated, the 100,000 troops of Bian and Han will be able to eat here for a year and a half.
As night fell, bonfires were lit, horses returned to their stables, grain carts entered the camp, and when the gate that had been open for a day closed, the carriages that came in and out of Wujoyuan also stopped.
As the saying goes, the grain and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved, and as the grain and grass related to the life and death of an army, it has always been the top priority of the generals of all armies.
At present, even if the leader of the rebel army, Bian Zhang, is not familiar with military affairs, but he does not dare to be careless about the granary that is related to life and death, and with the increase in the grain and grass hoarded in Wuzhang Plain, the number of soldiers guarding the garrison has also increased to 5,000 yesterday.
However, although Bian Zhang sent the most elite soldiers in the army to guard the granary, it is up to the opinion whether a team composed of untrained young men and untrained Hu people who are forgetful of profit and righteousness is really elite.
Of course, even if the army guarding the grain and grass is regarded as a brave warrior in the border and Korean armies, there has never been a binding team, and the discipline can be imagined.
Located in the westernmost part of the original granary of Wuzhang, close to the stable, there are now a lot of simple huts built of thatch, although of course it is said to be a shack, but in fact it is not much different from the stable, not only the air spreads the musty smell of dampness, even the thatch that is not thick has been leaking on all sides.
As the night deepened, the place slowly quieted down as the marching camp was boiling and laughing.
After a busy day, the people who helped to transport the grain and grass here had already swept into the shacks that leaked on all sides, warming each other and entering a dream, and soon the snoring became the main theme of the night.
Many of them had been farming and weaving for several months, but now that the war had made them numb, perhaps enough to earn a bite to eat each day would be enough for them to be driven to work hard.
Even if some of their companions died on the way to transport grain today, they could hear a little sadness from the thunderous snoring right now.
Of course, it's no wonder that these people are indifferent, and now their lives are not as good as dogs, who can guarantee that he will come back alive tomorrow.
Perhaps some of them are glad that although more than a dozen people are tired today, at least fifty or so helpers have been added to them, so that there will be no more work to do tomorrow.
The snoring was like thunder, and when the music in the night sky became more intense, a hut suddenly burst out of several black shadows, and then disappeared into the night, the lightning speed was absolutely as amazing as a ghost.
If someone is still awake and sees a strange scene at the moment, they will definitely think that their eyes are spent, and there will be ghosts in the world, but such a strange phenomenon is still being staged here.
As the ghostly figure appeared, a few smiling ambiguous rebels at the gate of the granary could not react, and their empty eyes were blinded by a flash of red light.
"How's the investigation goingγγγγγγ?" asked a man who was in command of the corpse as the rebels guarding the gate fell, and in the cold wind, he was peeling leather armor from the dead.
"Commander, we're in trouble, we just found out that after nightfall yesterday, the enemy army added 2,000 men to guard the granary," a subordinate who was hiding the corpse whispered back when he heard the inquiry.
"Damnγγγγ it seems that I haven't done enough to protect the intelligence of the sword, Xiao Jiu looks at where the noise in the camp is coming fromγγγγγ" As soon as he heard that the enemy army had increased his troops again, the commander scolded, and then looked up and asked another subordinate who had already boarded the platform.
"It seems that the new enemy soldiers in the camp have brought a lot of women, and they are γγγγγγ" In the face of the inquiry, the person called Xiao Jiu did not dare to slack off, and immediately set up a pergola to look into the distance, and when he saw the white flower figure chasing and screaming wantonly around the bonfire and in the military tent, he said angrily.
"WhatγVery good!! It seems that we are not without a chance, Xiao Wu, you take ten people wearing enemy uniforms to meet General Zilong here, and the rest of the people are in a team of five people, each looking for a target, and I will see the fire in half an hour! β
Compared with the indignant subordinates on the watchtower, hearing the real unbridled lust of the enemy army, their commander was very sensible, thought for a moment and then assigned the task.
Yes, this mysterious ghostly person is none other than the Sword Guards who have successfully infiltrated the enemy camp this afternoon, and when night falls, they have successfully captured the gate leading to success, and the next moment when the eight special and normal patrol soldiers are wandering around, the main event begins.
