Chapter 200: Fire Attack
When he heard the words night attack, Feng He thought that he had heard it wrong, and when he confirmed that he had heard it correctly, he looked at Wang Yu with an incredulous face: "My lord, you haven't gone crazy! The Great Perimeter Army has not gone out of the city to meet the Huns for a hundred years." ”
To tell the truth, Feng He at this moment really felt that Wang Yu was a little crazy, so crazy that he wanted to have a good time with 12,000 lives in this Yanmen Pass.
Although questioned, the sensible Wang Yu was not angry: "It is precisely because no one in the surrounding army has dared to go out of the fortress to meet the Huns for a hundred years, that I want to lead a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to attack at night tonight."
In this night attack, I don't want to reap any results, I just want to break the impression that the Huns are invincible among the soldiers and generals under our command.
For a hundred years, no surrounding army dared to go out to meet the Huns, not to mention these generals in the pass, even you and I, I am afraid that we have become afraid of the Huns like lions and tigers.
This kind of mentality is very bad, with the mentality of fear of lions and tigers, we will never be able to win against the Huns, if we can't win against the Huns, we can only be beaten passively, and if we hold for a long time, we will lose, and after a long time of passive beating, the military disaster 15 years ago will be staged again sooner or later. ”
Although he knew in his heart that what Wang Yu said was right, Feng He was still reluctant to agree with Wang Yu's statement, because this was a gamble with his life, and the 12,000 people in Yanmen Pass were not bargaining chips, and the eight million merge state fathers behind Yanmen Pass were the bargaining chips on the scale.
"Please think twice, once we can't attack at night, this state will be in danger!"
Wang Yu was not surprised by Feng He's obstruction, as Feng He just said, the border army of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not faced the Huns in the field for a hundred years, and Feng He's lack of confidence was understandable.
But what Wang Yu decided will definitely not stop there, and Yanmen County must face the biggest threat to the Xiongnu if it wants to develop rapidly.
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to train the courage of your soldiers, then only after the spring of next year can you spend more energy to wipe out the fear of the Huns in the hearts of the soldiers.
Glancing at Feng He, who was bargaining with him, Wang Yu thought for a moment and made some compromises: "I know Captain Feng's worries, but there is absolutely no room for bargaining in this matter.
I can only take half of the veterans of the Willow Battalion, of which the two soldiers under my command are the main composition, and give me the rest of the two thousand ruffians and hooligans.
Once things are not harmonious, I will allow Captain Feng for the sake of the overall situation, and let me and others enter the city without opening the city gate. ”
After hearing that Wang Yu was determined to attack at night, Feng He knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless, if this Lord Taishou was a master who listened to people's advice, he would not fall into the position of the county guard of Yanmen County.
"What supplies do you need for this night attack? As long as there are those in the city, the lowly post must be prepared for the lord. ”
Seeing Feng He make a compromise, Wang Yu smiled and eased the solemn atmosphere just now: "This night attack is mainly to break the fear of the Huns in the hearts of the generals, and I am ready to attack with fire."
Before the third watch tonight, please prepare 2,000 fire oil bags and torches, the soldiers of the two fine willow battalions under my command are themselves wearing leather armor and move lightly, and the rest of the ruffians and hooligans can give them leather armor as much as possible!
If there is no leather armor, use bamboo armor on top, and the knives, guns and instruments will come as normal, and the people who gather materials under the dark city should also come back. Leave the old horses that can still run to me!"
Regarding the materials set by Wang Yu, Feng He nodded to Wang Yu after thinking about it for a while: "My lord, I will go down and prepare the people you need to transfer immediately, so that they can eat and rest first."
I will prepare all these supplies before the first watch, and I will prepare wine and meat for you on the second watch.
After the third watch, if the Huns bite too tightly, even if they see your face, they will not open the city gate. ”
"Yes. ”
Feng He, who received Wang Yu's reply, respectfully bowed to Wang Yu, and then slowly withdrew from the city gate tower.
To be honest, he was not completely sure about this night attack on Wang Yu, whether the night attack would succeed or not, and how many people would die in this night attack, he didn't know.
After all, although he knows some magical powers, he is still a person.
Wang Yu temporarily launched this night attack, and this afternoon, the old, weak, sick and disabled people frantically sought death, so that Wang Yu saw a glimmer of hope to break the fear of his generals against the Huns.
The reason why he did not lead his troops to attack at night when the Huns were not firmly established yesterday was because he knew that when the Huns set up camp yesterday, they would never give him the opportunity to steal chickens.
There were as many as 30,000 soldiers in Yi Zhixie's attack this time, and it would be nonsense to say that they were all put into camping.
Today is very different from yesterday, and the Huns, although they rested for a while last night, did not fight during the day today.
But Wang Yu dared to guarantee that they had never rested well, and the fatigue and pain of the long-distance run could not be relieved by a short rest of the night.
Tonight, after the 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled troops in the Yanmen Pass were also exhausted, even if Yi Zhiyi adhered to the rules of the soldiers, he arranged a vigil for defense.
In the absence of a threat, the vast majority of the Huns would never be able to withstand the erosion of exhaustion, and their vigilance would inevitably be relaxed.
This created the prerequisites for the night attack, so that the soldiers and horses that Wang Yu brought out of the city had the opportunity to touch the perimeter of the Xiongnu camp.
Because the main purpose is not to harvest many results, after touching the vicinity of the Xiongnu camp, Wang Yu's strategic goal has been completed by more than half.
Next, he only needed to put a circle of fire on the periphery of the Hun camp, so that the soldiers and generals who followed him out of the city would see that ordinary Huns would still be afraid in the face of fire and water, and that they would be the same as them in the face of death, and his strategic goal would be eighty percent completed.
It is not realistic to expect to rely on this little thing to wipe out the fear of the Huns in the hearts of the soldiers under him, but it is not difficult to plant a seed.
When the Huns fall downwind and fall into decline in front of Yanmen Pass, this seed will take root and sprout.
At the beginning of spring next year, even if only one-tenth of these seeds will live to that time, he can use them as a foundation to create a group of male soldiers and iron horsemen who can go to me or me.
At the first watch, all the soldiers under Wang Yu's command had a brief dinner.
At the time of the second watch, all the soldiers fell into a deep sleep, and at the end of the day, most of these ordinary men who had no kung fu were too tired to move.
At the third watch, all the sleeping soldiers were woken up, and in a daze, they ate the horse meat handed to them and drank the wine in the bowl.
The wine and meat were down, and all the 3,500 people under Wang Yu's command tonight woke up.
The soldiers of the Liangqu Willow Battalion, who directly obeyed Wang Yu's orders, knew what to do tonight before dinner.
The soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion, who were accustomed to following their own Lord Wang's raids and exterminating the clan, although they were still a little hesitant in their hearts, still showed strong obedience to Wang Yu's orders when the matter came.
After all, his money was not scattered in vain the other day.
With these 1,000 people as the backbone, and Wang Yu's 50 personal soldiers as the inspection team, the 3,550 people who were about to attack out of the city at night were a little restless, but they did not form a riot.
The moon rises on the first quarter tonight, and the moonlight is not too bright.
With the 500 old, weak, sick and disabled horses collected today, Wang Yu and the 3,500 people stood in front of the Yanmen Pass.
"Tonight, the old man will personally lead you to attack the Huns at night, this battle, the old man does not want to win or kill, as long as you throw out the oil bag in your hand, throw the torch in your hand into the camp of the Huns.
In this battle, everyone will have doubled their achievements, and the things promised by the old man will be distributed to you first.
Moreover, the old man will personally lead his own soldiers to advance and retreat with you, and after the night attack is completed, the old man will walk at the end to wait for you to break off.
Tell the old man, under such conditions, are you willing to risk attacking the Huns at night with the old man?" The last sentence, Wang Yu directly shouted and asked.
In the face of Wang Yu's thunderous questioning, the soldiers and generals in front of Yanmen Pass were stunned, and under the leadership of the well-intentioned people around them, they responded loudly: "Dare to ......!"
People's emotions are infected by the surrounding environment, and after the rhythm is brought up, the 3,500 soldiers who are somewhat drunk immediately become excited.
Seeing that the time had come, Wang Yu immediately gave the last order before leaving the city: "Everyone, two by two, stuff each other's mouths."
After the baggage soldiers stuffed the bamboo, check whether the hooves of the horses around them are wrapped with soft cloth, and whether the horses have mouths in their mouths.
After a cup of tea, all preparations must be completed, and if someone has not completed it, or wants to quit halfway, military law will be served. ”
"Commanding ......"
Time is like flowing water, and after a cup of tea, there is silence before the Yanmen closes.
In the night, the gates of the Yanmen Gate, which slowly opened, looked like the gates of the city in vain, mottled and broken in blood, ready to devour new life to feed themselves.
But after seeing the figure in front with a straight waist, the generals who followed him shook their heads and threw aside all the cranky thoughts just now.
As a main general, although Wang Yu is not as trustworthy as Feng He and is willing to give his back, it is definitely not bad.
The promises he made when he raided his family and exterminated his clan in Yanmen County were fulfilled one by one.
For the soldiers who eat military rations, this is enough.
Stepping out of Yanmen Pass and stepping on the bloody land, Wang Yu's face did not change, he had created the general scene of the Shura Field himself, and the blood flowed like a river, which could not scare him at all.
The soldiers behind him, although a little uncomfortable, did not make a noise from beginning to end.
Stepping on the bloody ground, Wang Yu led the soldiers in his hands and quietly touched the camp of the Huns.
On the way to the Hun camp. Except for a few two outposts, Wang Yu and the others did not encounter any soldiers and horses that were too difficult.
