Chapter 540: Night Attack

Cannibalism, cannibalism.....

The hearts of everyone present were pinched fiercely, Chen Chao turned his head, and finally glanced at the faint fire in the distance, only to feel that this world was rotten, no, this Qin country was rotten.

"Let's go!"

Chen Chao gave an order and raised his horsewhip.

The group waved their horsewhips and continued on their way with heavy hearts.

In the days that followed, everyone did not dare to march on the official road, which was full of refugees fleeing south, for the refugees, horses were good food, and they did everything for a bite to eat.

Chen Chao and his entourage had to detour from the small road, and if they took the official road, they would be attacked by the refugees, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

In this way, about ten years ago, in the middle of the day, on the high slope, several people of the Chen Dynasty were wearing white cloaks, perfectly blending their bodies with the snow, and they were looking at a city standing on the plain in the distance, observing the situation.

"Xiangye, why did Rong Di fight so fast, and he came here?"

"No, it should still be in the rear."

Looking for the voice made by Hou Ji beside him, Chen Chao squinted, licked his frozen chapped lips, and raised his eyes to look over.

I saw a flat land in the distance, snowflakes mixed with a lot of cold wind, raging wildly on the flat land, and a city of no small scale stood on it.

To the east of the city, a small camp of Rongdi rose from the ground, and there were hundreds of tents in the past, not to mention thousands of people.

Now it is noon, white smoke is rising from the Rongdi camp, and the smell of the cattle and sheep roasted on the shelves makes the Qin troops on the city wall stretch out their heads to look at it and swallow their saliva frantically.

Many Rongdi cavalry were cruising in the lower reaches of the city, with a whistle in their mouths, and they were provoking the Qin army in the city to come out to fight.

Above the city, a black Qin flag was half rotten, struggling to support it in the wind and snow, and several strong bows were shot out from time to time on the city wall, but Rong Di was fast, and the bow and arrow couldn't even touch the horse's buttocks, which immediately caused the Rong Di cavalry to laugh.

"Surrounded by ......" Chen Chao grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, and stretched out his hand: "Map, take the map."

Meng Changge, who was beside him, put down the telescope in his hand, took out the map from the bag on his waist and handed it to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao spread the map on the ground, looked at it carefully, and stretched out his finger to point to a city on the map: "Here, Luan Guan." ”

"That's right, it's Luanguan, a medium-sized fortress with a permanent strength of nearly 20,000."

"But now, how can you be surrounded by thousands of people?"

Meng Changge questioned and looked at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao frowned, thought for a moment, and explained:

"It should be a matter of grain and grass, it should be that there is no grain in the city, and the court of the Qin State does not allocate grain, although there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, they have to open their mouths to eat."

"It is estimated that they are hungry and have no strength to go out of the city to fight again, so they can only stalemate like this."

Meng Changge's tone was angry, and he clenched his fist and slammed the ground fiercely: "Damn the court, sooner or later, the old lady will overthrow them." ”

Along the way, Chen Chao had heard such words countless times.

Along the way, it was shocking, which made Meng Changge's mentality change dramatically.

used to lead troops to fight, Meng Changge was for her family, in order not to let her family be annexed.

But now she has made up her mind to overthrow the court of the Qin State and use her hands to change the situation of the Qin State.

This made the Chen Dynasty very pleased, this is right, such a court should have been overthrown a long time ago.

"What now? Is it to bypass or ......," Meng Changge asked.

"Don't go around, fight!"

Chen Chao's eyes were firm, and he said, "We don't have much rations left, we must replenish them." ”

"But there are thousands of them, and we only have three hundred."

Chen Chao smiled and pointed to the closed city in front of him: "Didn't you just say that there are 20,000 defenders in Luanguan, they have been shouted by Rong Di outside the city for so long, and when we fight with Rong Di, even if they are hungry and have no strength, they will go out of the city to help." ”

After speaking, Chen Chao glanced at the sky.

If it is still early today, it is not suitable for battle.

"Retreat, sunset will come again."

Everyone nodded, prostrate, and slowly retreated, leaving only the two to continue to observe the Rongdi camp outside the city.

……

……

At dusk, the sky was dark, and the wind and snow were a little heavier.

Chen Chao raised his head, glanced at the sky, gave a look to Hou Ji and several people around him, and the group of five nodded, taking advantage of the cover of the wind and snow, and crawling on the snow with a white cloak behind him, covering his whole body and completely integrating with the snow, squirming forward like five insects.

There was only the sound of wind and snow whistling around, and the five of them lay on the ground, and their hands and feet touched towards the Rongdi camp not far ahead.

The whole body was pressed on the snow, cold and biting, coupled with the wind and snow howling in their ears, the five of them were shivering from the cold for a while, and they almost couldn't even tell the direction, but fortunately, there were a lot of fires in the camp.

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and eyelashes with snow, put his hands in his mouth, took a breath of hot air, and continued to crawl forward.

Da, da, da......

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near, and it was the cavalry patrolling Rongdi.

The five immediately stopped, lowered their heads, pretended to be dead on the spot, and waited for the soldiers on patrol to go away before continuing to crawl forward.

Crawling close enough, the five of them rolled over one by one and flashed into the Rongdi camp.

Poking out his head to look, he saw that in the middle of the camp not far away, a large bonfire was gathered, and hundreds of Rong Di soldiers pulled the slaughtered cattle and sheep, put them on the shelf and roasted them on both sides, and said the Rong Di language that people couldn't understand, I don't know what they were saying, but looking at the excited expressions on their faces, it was estimated that they were gagging.

"Xiangye, there, it should be Commander Rong Di."

"Otherwise, my subordinates will take someone to touch it and shoot it with an arrow."

Following Hou Ji's point, Chen Chao saw a tall Rong Di soldier munching on a leg of mutton beside the bonfire.

The clothes he wore were completely different from those of the Rong Di soldiers around him, and the earrings on his left ear were large, at least larger than the other Rong Di soldiers.

While gnawing on the leg of mutton, from time to time a patrol trotted over to report the situation to him, and he waved his hand impatiently.

If I'm not mistaken, he is the commander of the Rongdi Thousand, the biggest head in this camp.

Chen Chao shook his head and rejected Hou Ji's proposal.

Now that the five of them are in the enemy camp, if they rashly shoot Captain Rong Di in public, none of the five will be able to escape, and they need to wait for the opportunity.

"Hou Ji, you take two people, go find the place where the horses are tied in the camp, wait for my signal, and find a way to let all those horses go."

Hou Ji nodded, and slowly disappeared with the two of them, and after a while, Rong Di had no horses, and his combat strength was directly halved, and there was nowhere to run if he wanted to.

"Xiangye, what are we doing?" Ning Baizhi followed Chen Chao's side and asked.

"We'll wait, wait until the commander is full and full and return to the tent, and we'll slaughter him again."

What Chen Chao wanted to do was actually very simple, kill the commander without knowing it, and then send a signal for Meng Changge, who was ambushed on the periphery, to lead the team to rush in.

Estimating that Hou Ji and the others were lucky, they soon found the place where Rong Di tied his horse, and ambushed him in the shadows, ready to start.

After the sky was completely dark, the Rongdi camp slowly quieted down, and the Rongdi commander finished gnawing a leg of mutton, patted his round belly, and got up and returned to the camp.

Chen Chao took Ning Baizhi with him, with the help of the narrow gap between the tents, and shuttled flexibly, plus now that it was dark, his vision was already dark, and those Rong Di soldiers were stunned and didn't find that a few people had sneaked into the camp.

"Remember, do it fast! Don't move as a last resort, don't move the gun, it's too loud. ”

After speaking, Chen Chao was not at ease, and reminded again: "Bai Zhi, don't be brave, kill the commander, and hide immediately." ”

If Meng Changge didn't wait for the team to rush in, several people would be discovered, and they would have fallen into a bitter battle.

"Understood."

……

……

Commander Rong Di got into the tent, took off his thick felt clothes, shook the snow on it, dealt with a few official matters after the case, waved his hand and sent his subordinates away to rest.

The tent curtain was lowered, and the thousand men didn't take off their boots, and they took off the scimitar at their waist and lay down directly on the bed, and the scimitar was placed within reach.

Soon after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a strange noise, and somewhere in the tent seemed to be blown open by the wind, and the wind and snow poured in from outside.

The commander was just about to speak, calling the guards outside the door to come in and mend it, a big hand suddenly covered his mouth from behind, and someone held his legs so that he couldn't move, and then he instantly felt a sharp pain in his throat and chest, poof, puff, similar sounds sounded seven or eight times in succession, and hot blood spurted out from inside......
