Chapter 742: The attack on the camp failed
Li Yu walked with his soldiers and horses for another day or two, and then came to the territory of the Zhou State, outside the city of Heicheng.
After coming to Heicheng, Li Yu and the others did not rush to attack, but set up camp five miles outside the city, waiting for the next day to attack the city.
At this time, in Heicheng City, Song Jing had already gathered a group of generals.
The 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom came to destroy our Zhou Kingdom, and now they are outside the city, how to resist them, what good strategies do you have?
Although Song Jing is a civilian official, he still has prestige in the army, so he can suppress these generals.
And after hearing Song Jing's words, these generals looked at each other.
Lord Song, the Tang army is strong, and we definitely can't go out of the city to fight them, so we can only hold the black city.
That's right, with adults here, there should be no problem in holding Heicheng for a month or two, and in a month or two, we can greatly reduce the strength of the Tang Army.
That is, that is, we will not defend the city and go on like this with the Tang army.
They all know the strength of the Tang Army, so they don't want to engage with the Tang Army in a short fight, so as long as they can not leave the city.
However, when these people said this, Song Jing's eyebrows were slightly condensed, this battle had not yet begun, and his soldiers and horses had a fear of the Tang army, so how could this battle be fought?
The morale is gone, and it's easy to win?
The most important thing in fighting a war is morale. Song Jing waved his hand to interrupt the remarks of these generals, and said: The Tang army's 150,000 troops came to attack the city, and we are indeed not their opponents, but we can't blindly lose the city gate, the Tang army is bound to be very tired after a long journey, if we can attack suddenly, maybe
It can succeed, and as long as the raid is successful, we can hit the morale of the Tang army and delay some time for us to defend the city, what do you think?
Song Jing wanted to go out of the city to fight, and the Tang army must have thought that they would not dare to go out of the city, so he would go out of the city.
In this case, they may be able to make a successful raid.
Everyone looked at each other, although they all felt that Song Jing's decision was a bit risky, but now that they are in this situation, it seems that they can't take risks.
Well, if the raid is successful, it will definitely be of great help to them.
So after Song Jing finished speaking, the others began to express their positions.
I'm in favor of raids.
I am also in favor of a surprise attack, and tonight, we will attack the camp of the Tang army fiercely.
That's right, the attack on the camp of the Don Army.
All the generals expressed their support for tonight's attack on the camp, and after Song Jing saw this situation, he finally nodded with satisfaction.
If these generals didn't even dare to attack the camp, then there would really be no hope for their Zhou Kingdom.
And if they dare to attack the camp, then he can lead them and fight a bloody way.
After saying this, Song Jing and the others just waited for the night.
Time is slow, and the spring night is still very early.
But when night came, the night sky of the entire Black City turned pitch black.
There are no stars and no moon tonight, and there may be a rain tomorrow, but who knows for sure?
These people in Zhou don't care if it will rain tomorrow.
Midnight came, and the night was like ink.
On the side of the Tang Army camp, some lights were still on, and some officers and men were patrolling step by step.
The Tang army didn't look like they were careless, but these generals of the Zhou State didn't care, they had already decided to attack the camp, so they would definitely attack the camp, and it was impossible for them not to act because the Tang army was not careless.
The soldiers and horses of the Zhou State came at night.
Just when the Tang army was patrolling, they suddenly attacked and attacked the Tang army camp.
"Kill—"
A shout sounded, and then the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State killed the Tang army, in their opinion, the Tang army was very tired from the long journey, and the Tang army definitely did not expect them to attack the camp, so they must not have reacted at first.
However, after they came over, many sharp arrows flew from the Tang army's side, blocking their attack.
At this time, the news of Zhou's attack on the camp had already spread in the army, and the soldiers of Tang immediately prepared to leave.
They really didn't expect the Zhou Congress to attack the camp at this time, but the Tang army's battalion had already implemented Wei Qing's set of policies, and they could intercept them after the current enemy attacked the camp, and then fight for the opportunity for other Tang troops to prepare.
In this way, even if there is an attack on the camp, there will be no chaos among their Tang army because of panic.
Soon, some Tang soldiers were ready to rush out and fight with those soldiers of the Zhou State.
The strength of the soldiers of the Zhou State is not weak, but the Tang State is stronger than them.
In such a hand-to-hand encounter, the Zhou State basically had no advantage at all.
Moreover, when they were able to stop them with the Tang army, and when the other soldiers and horses came quickly, they thought they had been fooled, so they seemed a little panicked, and some soldiers even had the idea of retreating.
In this way, Zhou Guo became weaker and weaker.
On the Tang army's side, taking advantage of the Zhou State's soldiers and horses to go out of the city, the more they killed, the more brave they became.
General, no, our attack on the camp failed, and we feel like we have broken through.
A soldier came to the general in charge of attacking the camp and told him about the situation, and the general naturally sensed that the situation was not good, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately broke out with his soldiers and horses.
In the night, the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State fled in a hurry, and the Tang army pursued them, until the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State fled to the city of Heicheng, and the soldiers of the Tang Army finally stopped.
At this time, Song Jing has been waiting for news in Heicheng City.
In his opinion, their Zhou State suddenly sent troops, and the Tang army was unprepared, so there should be no problem in attacking the camp successfully, but just when Song Jing was thinking like this, he suddenly saw soldiers and horses fleeing under the city of Heicheng.
He took a torch and glanced at it, and now it turned out to be the soldiers and horses of their Zhou Kingdom.
What's going on?
My lord, the Tang army is so powerful, it was already prepared, we were ambushed by them, and we suffered heavy losses, open the city gate quickly, let us in.
Hearing that Tang Jun had already taken precautions, Song Jing felt a little uneasy in his heart, this was something he hadn't expected, why did Tang Jun be on guard?
However, seeing that their soldiers and horses had fled back, he didn't seem to have any reason not to believe it, so he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ordered: Open the city gate and let them in.
At the sound of an order, the city gate opened, and those soldiers and horses of the Zhou State rushed in in a swarm, and in the face of this situation, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State did not continue to chase and kill.
Now that the other party has fled here, there is no point for the Tang army to continue to chase and kill, and besides, there are Zhou soldiers and horses on the city tower to suppress them with sharp arrows, and they can't catch up. Everything, we can only wait for tomorrow to attack the city, and then make a decision.
