Chapter Ninety-Four: Night Attack on the Enemy Camp

Xue Rengui lay on his stomach in the dry grass, his eyes examining the enemy camp in the distance.

The checkpoints were slack, the military discipline was lax, and the camp tent was scattered, and this camp was either a trap or the enemy commander did not have a long brain.

Judging from Xue Rengui's observations, this Goguryeo coach should be a fool with no brains.

The smell of meat came from the breeze, and the soldiers of Goguryeo were cooking meat, and even ordinary soldiers could eat meat in large pieces, which did not mean that the enemy troops were treated well, but that they had looted, and only if the looted meat could not be put away, ordinary soldiers would be able to share it.

The enemy army should be the same as the group of looters encountered earlier, and they don't know that Datang has sent troops, so the military camp is so slack.

Xue Rengui took his guards and carefully surveyed the military camp in Goguryeo and drew a simple topographic map.

Leaving the sentry horse to watch, Xue Rengui led the guards back to a low slope five miles away.

"General, rations". Xue Rengui had just dismounted, and someone handed him food. An iron basin in which the dough is soaked in cold water.

Because it was an inactive march, the army forbade fireworks, so even Xue Rengui drank a lot of hot water.

Xue Rengui took a sip of cold water, directly scooped up the dough cake floating in the iron basin pot, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it heavily.

Xue Rengui frowned, he had been eating this kind of bread since he set out on the expedition until now. I smelled meat when I was probing just now, and now I'm eating this bread, which is extremely unpalatable.

Xue Rengui held the simple map in one hand and stuffed the dough cake into his mouth.

The enemy camp is high in the north and bottom in the south, steep on the west side, flat on both sides on the east side, but there is a large river, and the campers should only consider the north wind at night.

Xue Rengui carefully studied the map, if I choose to camp here, how should I fortify, Xue Rengui was halfway through the meal, and he had to draw on the ground with stones in his hand.

The northern slope is gentle, and the cavalry attacks the camp from here, and the impact must be like thunder.

"Report, General". A sentry came to report.

"What's the matter?" Xue Rengui raised his head, his face was slightly cold, and he was very unhappy to be disturbed.

"Report to the general, General Pei was ordered by General Su to come for reinforcements." The sentry said.

"Please". Xue Rengui said. He put down the stone in his hand and hurried to greet Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian rode over, jumped off the horse after seeing Xue Rengui, and said from a distance: "Congratulations to General Xue for his first contribution."

"Brother Pei, don't laugh at me, there are only more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers, how can it be regarded as a military merit." Xue Rengui returned the salute.

Then he said: "If you talk about military merits, I have a piece of news here, and if it is done, it will definitely be a great achievement."

"Oh, Brother Xue, tell me about it." Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up, he was the youngest, and it was the time when he loved to show off his strength, and when he heard that he had military merits, his heart suddenly became lively.

"Come on, come on, Brother Pei, look". Xue Rengui took out a simple map and pointed it to Pei Xingjian.

"This is a map I made after my own exploration, and it is five miles from here." Xue Rengui told Pei Xingjian the news he had discovered.

The two discussed based on the information.

After a long time, after making a decision, Xue Rengui said: "Okay, Brother Pei will go back to transfer troops and arrange, and attack the camp at three o'clock, and I will ambush here."

"General Xue stays, junior brother will go back to prepare, this battle cannot be lost." Pei Xingjian got on the horse and left.

At three o'clock, Pei Xingjian was excited, he forced himself to calm down, the army was sneaking quietly, the later it was discovered, the higher the success rate of attacking the camp, he moved forward carefully.

He was too careful, or Goguryeo was too careless, and when Pei Xingjian approached to the point that it was still eight hundred meters away from the barracks, they hadn't noticed it yet.

Pei Xingjian stopped the soldiers and horses, and eight hundred meters was not close or far, just enough to let the cavalry run away.

Kill!

Pei Xingjian ordered the soldiers to get on their horses, raised their lances, and pointed at the enemy camp and shouted.

Kill, kill, kill

The cavalry began to exert force, running faster and faster until it was like thunder.

"What's going on?" the Goguryeo soldiers were at a loss.

"Attack the camp, the Tang army attacked the camp". There were sudden cries of despair.

The military camp of Goguryeo was in chaos in an instant, and the soldiers fled in all directions.

"Kill, not a single one is left". Pei Xingjian roared.

"Kill them all". Pei Xingjian roared while impacting and setting fire, yelling that even if he was brave, he would be terrifying to the enemy and disturb the will of the place.

"Oh no, general, the Tang army is coming." The soldiers broke into the tent, but the general of Goguryeo was drunk like a dead pig, and fell asleep with a woman in his arms. The woman woke up, but was stunned by the screams outside.

The soldier shook the general twice, but he didn't see the general wake up, and then listened to the outside, the killing was deafening, he gritted his teeth, what kind of general did he care, turned out a few treasures of the general, and escaped out of the commander's tent.

"Run, the Tang people are coming, run for your life." The soldiers of Goguryeo bombed the camp, were driven away by Pei Xingjian, and fled to the east.

"Those who descend do not kill". Pei Xingjian shouted.

"Come on, grab your tongue and ask if the handsome account is fake." Pei Xingjian stared at the local marshal's tent early in the morning, ordered a sharpshooter to keep an eye on it, and shot people when they saw them come out.

Just shot a soldier, but the local general didn't come out for a long time, Pei Xingjian was puzzled. He thought to himself, could it be that there was a suspicious account in the place.

"Report to the general, this guy said, there is no suspicion, but their general was drunk last night." The guards returned to Pei Xingjian.

"There are such things." Pei Xingjian was surprised.

"You guys, use your spears to cut open the tent and take a look, pay attention to safety."

"Whoa!"

Several of Pei Xingjian's guards cut the camp tent from several directions, and there was indeed no ambush inside, and a man slept on a blanket, snoring like thunder. A frightened woman next to her couldn't make a sound with her mouth wide open.

Pei Xingjian walked into the camp tent, looked at the enemy general, and said: "Arrest a few more people, come and confess, I still don't think this can be believed, and the person who ran out and shot him to death just now, pull the other side, and let them recognize it."

The attack on the camp was successful, and Pei Xingjian arranged for some people to take care of the prisoners, clean up the corpses, and light the substances. He took another part of the men to hunt down the deserters.

The Goguryeo soldiers fled eastward, and there was a river three miles away, and the wooden bridge over the river had been destroyed, so they had to flee down the river.

"Shoot the Arrow"

Xue Rengui waited downstream, and he lay in ambush in a narrow terrain, with a cliff on one side and a large river on the other.

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time heard the order, and the arrows were released instantly, and the arrows that fell like rain were fatal, and the soldiers who ran out without piercing their armor died instantly.

"Ahh Someone was hit by an arrow and immediately wailed.

"There is an ambush, help, help". Someone cried out in a daze.

"Run, run."

"Don't kill me, I surrender, don't kill me". Someone fell to his knees and cried.

There is a cliff on one side and a large river on the other, and some people choose to escape by jumping into the river. The river was turbulent, and a few screams came from the water, but there was no sound, so frightened that the people behind did not dare to jump into the river.

"Those who descend do not kill, and those who descend do not kill". The soldiers in ambush shouted.

"We surrender, don't kill us". More and more people are surrendering on their knees. Only when no one was standing, Xue Rengui sent people down to collect prisoners of war.
