475. Chapter 473 Night Attack


Chapter 473 Night Attack

Same as the situation previously understood, the enemy has not made any changes and is still resting in place.

But there is also new news coming.

“The enemy general took a small group of men and horses out for hunting today. When he returned, he brought back a deer and several rabbits.”

“Two carriages arrived at the enemy camp and came down. Several people, whose identities are unknown, look like women from the Zhou Dynasty based on their clothes.”

"The patrol shifts change every hour."

"The sentry towers near the military camp have four people on each one. Most of the archers are in this position..."

Basic military camp layout Lu Qiyan recorded every situation, and when he heard two things that had nothing to do with the deployment of soldiers, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hunting and women.

It seems that tonight is the most suitable time.

Lu Qiyan immediately gave the order and ordered all the soldiers to start eating and prepare for action at night.

Since it was an ambush, they did not dare to make any move to reveal their hiding place, so the food they ate was just pancakes prepared when they traveled.

The pancake was completely dry at this time and tasted a bit hard. I had to drink more water to swallow all the pancakes.

Cold biscuits are made with cold water and are not comfortable to eat, but when going out to fight, meals are not guaranteed. Lu Qiyan ordered the kitchen to hurry up before setting off to be able to eat these.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to eat this at this time.

Commander Qi Lu said that if this battle is fought well, they will be rewarded and stewed with a lot of meat.

It doesn’t matter whether the military camp is willing to do this or not.

Commander Lu also said that if the military camp’s salary was tight, then he would take out his own money bag!

Duoduo stewed meat, rich in oil and thick in meat, must taste very delicious.

With the thought of stewed meat, the group of people also had strong belief support at this time. They just kept stuffing the dry pancakes into their mouths to eat as fast as possible.

Night falls, and the sky is filled with stars.

The new moon at the beginning of the month set quickly in the first half of the night, but the bonfires in the enemy camps were burning brighter and brighter. Even from a distance, many people in the military camp could be vaguely seen surrounding the bonfires. Drinking and having fun.

Occasionally, there were majestic and powerful shouts and cheers, and Jin Weiguo’s unique singing and dancing movements were obviously celebrating something.

At the end of the hour, the singing, dancing and shouting gradually stopped, and only the last flame of the bonfire was left, with the slightest trace of smoke rising.

The earth was silent, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep.

Lu Qiyan led Zhao Youcai, Fang Baosheng and other capable people, taking advantage of the night, relying on the surrounding branches that had just turned green and sprouting green buds, and gradually approached the side.

Another group of archers headed towards the sentry tower from the other side.

The rest of them were completely surrounded from the back and sides in the shape of a semicircle.

The archers put their arrows on the bowstring, and when the appointed time comes, they release them at the same time, and then quickly draw the arrows, put them on the strings, draw them full, and release them.

The accuracy was sufficient, the speed was extremely fast, and the number was extremely large. The arrows suddenly flew away like raindrops.

The people on the sentry tower were turned into hedgehogs almost instantly, and soon lost their breath.

The group of people who went with the archers threw out flying tiger claws, climbed up the sentry tower at an extremely fast speed, and lowered the ropes to catch the archers who arrived later. Pulled them all up.

The archers were on the sentry tower, condescending, and launched another attack.

But this time, what was shot was a rocket.

Several arrows were fired in unison, and a rocket flew away, lighting up almost half of the sky, and landed in the enemy camp, quickly igniting a fire.

"There is an enemy attack!"

"Quickly put out the fire!" "Protect the general!"

"Line up!"

"..."


The enemy army suddenly became a mess. After waking up, many people quickly ran out of the camp with weapons in hand. They hurriedly put on armor, fetched water to put out fires, or formed formations to meet the enemy.

Almost at the same time, large troops launched attacks from the front, side, and rear, while Lu Qiyan led his men from the other side and took advantage of the chaos to rush into the enemy camp.

The enemy army was caught off guard by such a sudden attack, and the night of carnival and drinking made them confused and unsteady on their feet. At this time, facing the fierce close-range offensive of Lu Qiyan and others, they were helpless. The power to fight back.

The fighting continued, and the soldiers of Jin Weiguo fell one after another, while the Western Frontier Army became more and more courageous as they fought, sweeping away the haze of previous consecutive defeats.

Lu Qiyan's side gained an overwhelming advantage from the beginning.

The enemy leader Jiang Siyuan was in a desperate situation. While commanding his troops to resist, he arranged for people to go and seek help.

Seeing this, the deputy general frowned and said, "General, the enemy is coming fiercely and their numbers are even greater than ours. I'm afraid that reinforcements will never arrive and our entire army will be annihilated!"

"What do you think?"

"The green mountains left behind are there." the deputy general suggested.

Do you want to withdraw?

A hundred miles further is Qingyang Town, which has convenient roads and is close to other troops stationed there. If something unexpected happens, reinforcements can be made quickly.

This is just the boundary of a town and several nearby villages. It really does not play a big role in the entire war.

But...

Jiang Siyuan was dissatisfied, "It's really embarrassing!"

In the past, only he, the vanguard, had the strongest momentum. Fighting all the way here, Jiang Siyuan was unstoppable. He even put down his bold words and wanted to be the first army to attack Changzhou Fucheng and regain territory for Jin Weiguo.

The king of the country therefore valued him very much, and even the young master came here specially.

As a result, in front of the young master, he had to back down and give in...

"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs!" The deputy general still persuaded, "If the entire army is destroyed, the general will really have no one left. On the day of meritorious deeds, most of the strength will be preserved this time. When there are still meritorious deeds in the future, the general will think twice! "

The only way to resist is to die.

Pull repeatedly to preserve your strength and still have the possibility of victory.

The lieutenant general is much older than Jiang Siyuan. He has been in war for a long time and is quite experienced in this.

Jiang Siyuan thought for a moment and was about to give the order.

“No retreat!” Li Junhao roared angrily.

“Master.” Jiang Siyuan saluted respectfully.

"The Western Frontier Army is just a ragtag group of people. They are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. If they persist for a while, the Western Frontier Army will not get much advantage and will definitely retreat obediently!" Li Junhao shouted.

"But, Young Master..."

"Isn't it always like this before?" Li Junhao asked back.

Jiang Siyuan's expression froze.

Indeed, since the battle with the Western Frontier Army began in the early winter of last year, whether Jin Weiguo's army really had the advantage or was defeated by the Western Frontier Army, the final result was that the Western Frontier Army retreated one after another.

For this reason, their Jin Weiguo army discussed it many times.

The final conclusion was that the sergeants of the Great Zhou Kingdom were thin and had low endurance, so they were unable to succeed, while the soldiers of the Jin Wei Kingdom were taller, braver and more powerful. In the long run, the Western Frontier Army would not be able to resist it and had to Flee in despair.
