9. Night Raid
The three corpses were carried down, and they would be sacrificed when the Kaede army arrived. It is estimated that Feng Xue should be very happy, after all, the rule of "killing the king" is still difficult to break, and she just happens to be a little black hand.
Rayong rushed to report the situation: "Wang, we have sent a group of men and horses to Yancheng to rescue, but it will take four days to come back and forth, and there are 1,500 enemy troops outside the city, although they belong to three small states, but the number of people in my city who can take up arms and go to the city wall will probably not exceed this number!"
Zhu Xin said: "As soon as the enemy soldiers arrive, they can only defend to the death, and call on all the men and ministers to go up to the city wall and hold on for four days!"
"Rayong. Zhu Xin then instructed: "You go and deal with the messengers who come to inquire, delay as much time as possible, and select another hundred people to act at night." ”
"The minister understands," Rayong replied.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and during this period, the enemy army also sent people to urge them several times, but Rayong shirked them for various reasons, saying that he was drunk and would return to the camp tomorrow.
A hundred people live early to cook. The 11 ministers worriedly persuaded: "King, why don't we defend the city and wait for the wind army to come, in case the sneak attack fails tonight, the king has a mistake, what should I do if I wait?"
Zhu Xin shook his head: "The enemy still doesn't know that their three kings have been beheaded by us, and they sneak attack at night, the enemy army doesn't know how many people our army has sneak attacked, and under the chaos, they don't dare to fight, so they have to flee in a hurry, which is where our advantage lies." ”
Zhu Xin continued: "What's more, if you defend the city, in three days, how many people will have to be killed and injured in our state to be able to defend it!"
Zhu Xin's city is not high at all, the city is almost two meters high, and it only takes a few charges to rush into the city. Therefore, Zhu Xin very firmly chose the trick of night attack.
After hearing this, the eleven ministers could only nod silently and no longer answer.
Under the last rays of the sun's light, Zhu Xin quietly left the city with a hundred people.
When it was dark, nothing could be seen, and in this sparse forest, only the footsteps of people could be heard.
And in front of them is the world shrouded in torches: the enemy camp.
There were two soldiers standing at the gate of the camp, and one of them complained: "Brother Liang, what kind of good wine did you say that Zhu Guozhu invited the three Guozhu to drink?
"It's not our turn to be a good wine, heh, if only you could give us a little food to satisfy our hunger. Brother Liang also complained.
Wang Wu nodded when he heard this and said, "Yes, Brother Liang, when you say this, my stomach is ringing again!"
"I can't help it, I'll go back and eat again tomorrow, and drink some water now" Before Brother Liang finished speaking, he saw Wang Wu take out a pink handkerchief from his body, and there was still a piece of cake stuffed in it.
Wang Wu broke the cake in half, handed half of it to Brother Liang and said, "Brother Liang, the cake is frozen hard, drink some water and you will be done!"
Brother Liang took the cake and said with a smile: "It must have been given to you by Sister Juan'er, right?"
Wang Wu smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't speak.
Brother Liang broke the pen he took in half again, one big and one small, and the big one was stuffed back, and instructed: "I have enough to eat, but it's you, don't let down Sister Juan'er." ”
Wang Wu retorted with a slightly red face: "Juan'er and I are not what you think, my mother and Juan'er's mother, Aunt Wang, is young, Aunt Wang lost her husband in her early years, and my mother asked me to help Juan'er more." ”
"Good, good. Brother Liang didn't break these things, and put the bread on his waist.
"I'll go find a creek to drink some water, you go near the torches, it's so cold, don't be so honest! After speaking, Brother Liang walked straight to the stream next to the forest.
Brother Liang, scooped out some water with both hands, just drank two sips, only felt that the blood in the water was very strong, and wanted to look down to check it, but as soon as he lowered his head, he immediately fell to the ground.
The piece of cake slipped from its waist, leaving only a slight flapping sound in its place.
Wang Wu, who had been waiting for a quarter of an hour, shouted with some anxiety: "Brother Liang, Brother Liang!"
Wang Wu, who did not wait for a response, cautiously walked towards the stream, and several soldiers who were ambushed here rushed up, one covering his mouth, one tied his hands, and the other hugged his legs.
Before Wang Wu could struggle a few times, he was killed by Luo Yong.
Under the moonlight, Wang Wu looked at the piece of cake that Brother Liang dropped before, as if he thought of Juan'er's sister.
"Sister Juan'er, I won't be able to help you anymore. ”
......
Zhu Xin was very satisfied with the effect of Luo Yong's death.
Most people are two-star warriors, and three-star warriors are a minority; And Rayong is directly a four-star bravery. Generally, a dozen or so people can't beat Rayong.
Zhu Xin issued an order: "Everyone throws all the torches into the enemy's camp account." ”
The people who got the order immediately threw dozens of torches into the enemy camp, and within a few minutes, the Sanshu camp was on fire everywhere, and the flames soared into the sky!
Rayong led his men to take the lead and cut down the soldiers who tried to resist directly to the ground.
Several enemy nobles rushed out in a hurry and asked in a panic: "What about the king, why hasn't the king returned? Where did the enemy come from?"
The nobles who got the answer scolded loudly. Immediately gathered the personnel and retreated!
That's right, retreat!
Three big battalions mean three minds, all of which want others to go up to block the knife, plus the big night, a large black area, I don't know how many people have been killed.
Shouts of killing rang out, many soldiers ran for their lives, and several nobles looked in one direction and rushed out directly.
"Those who descend will not be killed," Zhu Xin shouted.
Slowly, more and more, the soldiers began to throw away their weapons and surrender.
The shouts of killing gradually stopped, and only nine were killed on their own side, but more than 50 on the enemy side, and more than 100 prisoners were taken prisoner. Unfortunately, all the other enemy soldiers escaped.
Zhu Xin couldn't catch too many prisoners because he had too few soldiers and horses in his hands, so he could only return to the city with the prisoners, put the prisoners in a prison, and starve them for a few days.
This battle directly defeated the enemy, and the lord of the enemy army has been decapitated, and it is difficult to negotiate countermeasures with only those remaining nobles.
When the people of the city heard the news, they cheered. The 11 ministers took out their own drinks to cheer up, and except for Zhu Xin and Luo Yong, most of the people in the city were full of alcohol.
A hundred men defeated fifteen hundred, a great victory for a small city-state.
Originally, Zhu Xin also thought that this was a big victory, but after Rayong's explanation, Zhu Xin finally understood what a real big victory was.
The real big wins are wars between hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and the victory or defeat is often only a fraction of a second. Moreover, the battlefield opportunities are changing rapidly, one second our side still has the advantage, and the next second the enemy's cavalry has already raided our camp.
Such a small victory for himself is like a child in the mountains who took the college entrance examination and was admitted to an ordinary university, he is the only college student in the mountain, but compared with those college students who really have gold content, he is still not enough to see.
Zhu Xin turned from joy to sorrow, worried about her future.
On this night, the crowd cheered and rejoiced, and the 8,000 people in the city did not sleep all night, and they were happy all night.
In broad daylight, the scorching sun was in the sky, and in the main hall, 11 ministers yawned for a long time, reporting the movements of the Feng army while talking.
"King, Feng Xue is very satisfied with our gifts, and has authorized our country to become a vassal state of the Land of Feng, and the army has been dispatched, and it will reach our city within three days. As soon as the words fell, Minister Wang yawned twice.
"You go back and rest first, let the patrolling soldiers rest in shifts. Zhu Xin was also a little sleepy and said quickly.
"King Xie. After thanking the 11 ministers, they quickly ran back to their homes to catch up on sleep.
"Ah, sleepy, I'm going to make up for sleep. Zhu Xin yawned and walked towards the warm bed.
Zhu Xin, who had just taken two steps, only felt a chill rising from his back.
Turning his head, the four guards and Luo Yong followed Zhu Xin inseparably. !
"King, we are guarding the door, and you can command any movement at any time. Several people explained.
"Okay!" Zhu Xin, who couldn't persuade a few people, could only agree to their request.
Of the 11 ministers who came out of the palace gate, ten of them were yawning all the time, and only one big giant was squinting as if he was about to fall asleep, but the frown on his forehead was particularly attractive.
"Lao Li, why aren't you sleepy? What do you want?" the crowd asked.
"No, I'm just thinking about going back and having two more drinks?" explained Minister Li.
"What are you drinking, by the way, you arrange for someone to be on duty tonight, and I'll go to sleep first," and after saying that, everyone went back to their respective homes.
Only Minister Li was left in the same place.
Minister Li looked at the ten people who were far away, and silently walked in the direction of his house.
Now you will taste the chapter first, and then the explosion will follow immediately.
