Ono stared at the sea for a long time, sighed, and turned into the big tent. At this time, the soldier put lunch on the table, a bowl of rice, a stack of pickled radish, and a stack of small dried fish.

Yang Gon was by the side, and the meal in front of him was exactly the same. At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with eating this meal, but then he found that it was almost the same every day, and now the bird was almost out of his mouth. Of course, he can't complain, there are so many warriors in front of him, and Yang Gon doesn't enjoy coming to Dongdao, he can be satisfied.

"I'm moving." Ono Yoshiko clasped his hands together and said matter-of-factly.

Yang Gon acquiesced to a kind of etiquette, so he pressed his chest with one hand, bent down slightly to return the salute, picked up the chopsticks and said in his heart: Just such a bowl of rice, and so many rules!

said that he rarely spoke when he ate, so the two of them ate silently. Ono finished eating first, and there was almost no rice left in the rice bowl, and sometimes Yang Gon was not used to a nobleman doing this in his meal. Ono Yoshiko stretched out the bowl, and a soldier carried a porcelain pot and poured a bowl of warm water, and Ono Yoshiko swallowed the water that had soaked the remaining grains of rice.

Yang Gon sometimes thinks that his people should be very kind and self-disciplined, and judging from their lives, they also believe in Buddhism. However, when he was in Dasen Village, he saw with his own eyes that some warriors humiliated prostitutes and women to death, killed and plundered them indiscriminately, which was even more brutal than the Khitans in their own country; And it doesn't seem to be a good thing to see the generals of the army peel the stomachs of the defeated people alive...... Yang Gon has seen such people, who are also cruel to their own people, and it is difficult to treat others well. In short, it was difficult for Yang Gon to really understand them.

Ono Yoshiko was kneeling in front of the table, waiting for the soldiers to come forward and clean up the table.

At this moment, a civil official walked into the big tent, bowed, and said, "Ono-kun, the Heiankyo faction is here." ”

Yang Gon frowned after hearing this, "Will the imperial court blame Ono-kun for losing his troops and making no progress?" ”

Ono said: "It is very likely, maybe it will urge me to speed up the attack, more than 20,000 people, and the cost of eating is also a lot." ”

Yang Gon was silent when he heard this, looking at Ono's ancient expression, his heart was heavy, and he didn't seem to be happy...... I'm afraid that no one will be happy with such a situation.

Yang Gon was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but say again: "In the current situation, if you want to attack quickly, it is not useful to stop and continue. In the next is still the same suggestion, attack from all sides, day and night, and consume the tired enemy army, so as to be effective. ”

Ono Haogu said coldly: "With such daily casualties, although there are more than 20,000 people in our department, how can we withstand such consumption?" ”

Yang Gon said carefully: "Even in this country, there seems to be no shortage of soldiers......

Ono Haogu said categorically: "If you want to ask for reinforcements again, it's impossible!" There are only a few hundred enemy troops in the earthen fort, and if it is tens of thousands, or thousands, there are people to say. Now more than 20,000 people are fighting 500 people, and they still need reinforcements and a lot of grain and grass, how can they speak? ”

Yang Gon also suggested: "In this case, it is better for Ono-kun to try a night attack than to increase fuel during the day. ”

Ono Yoshigu did not categorically refuse at this time, and muttered: "General Yang is reasonable...... However, our army's night attack will also be a little troublesome, and Ashigaru and ordinary samurai (who are actually the caretakers of the manor) can't see anything at night. The line of sight is not clear, the communication is inconvenient, and it is easy to be confused. ”

Yang Gon nodded.

Ono Yoshigu said: "There are also advantages, it is said that the army is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, even if it is not able to contact the general, it can also fight." ”

Two days later, faced with a helpless situation, the Chinese army decided to launch a night attack. Ono Yoshiko selected 500 elite soldiers, led by 50 elite samurai, and decided to launch a surprise attack in the early morning when he was ready...... Because that's when people are most likely to get sleepy!

Night had completely fallen, and Ono waited quietly for the hour.

He knew that many soldiers could not see at all at night, but it was not difficult to observe the Xu army fortress and get close...... Because there are torches around the fortress, you can find the right direction as long as you go to the bright place.

The commander of the army has already been prepared, and when he came to see Ono Yoshiko, he was dressed in armor and metal decorations like horns on his helmet, and he looked powerful and powerful.

Ono said: "The Xu army is heavily besieged, and it is impossible to have no night defense. He pointed in the direction of the light and instructed, "I suspect that there are scouts outside the fort, so you must be careful, and it is best not to expose them in advance." ”

"Hah!" The military general answered categorically.

Ono Haogu's expression was grim, and he stood up straight and said: "Victory or defeat is a matter of victory, and the fortune of the country will last forever!" ”

The military general also looked solemn, "I have the determination to die!" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

When the hour was almost up, the soldiers who dared to die quietly started to march. There were fifty teams of them, each of ten followed by a samurai leader, carrying a simple wooden ladder...... Luckily, the bunker wasn't high. The method is that the leader in front leads the team, and the people behind touch the ladder to become a string, and follow with their heads closed, even with their eyes closed.

The commander of the army and the military commander walked far away with a few people, and walked secretly with the men and horses. When he looked back, under the gray sky, dark figures could be seen moving in the darkness, all of them seeking, and the armor made a tinkling and grinding sound.

It was cloudy tonight, there was no moon in the sky, and it was dark at night. But some people's eyes still have a faint dim light after a long time of adaptation. At this moment, the military general suddenly noticed a dark shadow not far away, which seemed to be a person!

Ono-kun is really clever, Xu Jun has a sentry outside the fort at night, and the dark post does not have lights, and he can't see it at all if he doesn't pay attention to it!

The military general hurriedly stretched out his arms to stop the people around him from moving forward. He stared at it for a moment, then turned his head and stretched out two fingers, it wasn't a person over there, it was two people gathered together, but they all seemed to be dozing! In the middle of the night, it is estimated that Xu Jun sent people to guard for not one night or two nights, and it is really easy to get sleepy at this hour...... The key is that the army attacked at night for the first time, and Xu Guoren's defense was not sufficient.

Soon the two warriors, who had no armor, carefully took out their short knives from their arms, bit them in their mouths, touched their hands and feet, and quietly crawled over.

After a while, I heard the aggrieved muffled hum of "woo woo woo", and the chilling sound of poof, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, p

The warriors of the army did not say a word, finished their work, and continued to touch in the direction of sporadic torches.

They put the ladder on the ditch and climbed smoothly through the three trenches.

The general's heart became a little excited...... Unexpectedly, at this moment, suddenly there was a "whirring" sound of several blows not far away, and then a "snap" string sounded!

Before the soldiers came to their senses, they saw a firework explode in the air with a "bang"! The surroundings lit up, and the two people on the ground were turning around and running, shouting, "Attack the camp!" Raid the camp! ”

The general immediately took off his bow and arrow, aimed at the "snap" and shot a person in the back very accurately, the distance was very close, and the protection behind Xu Jun seemed to be very weak, and the man screamed and fell to the ground.

The flames in the air gradually dimmed, and in the darkness, there were a few string sounds, and there were screams ......of pain.

The originally quiet night sky soon became noisy, and after a while, a faint arc of light crossed the night sky, and with a "pop", the sound of explosion pierced far away, and the darkness was bright again.

The generals waved their hands and shouted, "Long live!" ”

A generous roar of courage was summoned, and at this time, the fireworks in the air were brilliant and bloomed briefly, and the general's heart was inexplicably moved, as if death had found meaning.

"Bang bang bang ......" The night sky was filled with firelight shining in rows.

The teams of the army rushed forward with shouts.

The firearms flashed and then went out, but the point of light was already in the eyes of the warriors, and they released the bowstrings that were drawn, ......and they couldn't see anything in the night sky, but they were already very close to the fortress, and then they heard the screams of Xu Jun.

There was a crackle in the darkness, the sound of a bell and the fluttering of the bowstring. From time to time, brilliant fireworks exploded in the air, and when the night flashed, you could see a large number of sergeants rushing to the wall carrying ladders!

The commander of the army does not climb ladders, he is very good at archery, and he and a few elite subordinates will release arrows where they shine.

"Smack!" As soon as the light came on, many ladders had been set up on the corner wall, and people climbed on them like ants. Rows of bangs rang out on the other two walls, and many people screamed and fell from the ladders.

The night sky is bright and dark, like an unpredictable night of thunder and lightning!

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and there was a loud "boom", and a flame erupted from the wall, which was the roar of a cannon!

"Smack!" Sparks bloomed, ladders were knocked down on the wall, and the people above shouted in terror. But there were also those who gradually climbed the fortress. In the eyes of the generals, the fortress is two-tiered, and the middle layer is a cave-like opening, with a female wall battlement; Above is the top, and the artillery is roaring above.

At this time, Xu Jun faced a night attack for the first time, and his preparations were not sufficient. Yue Jun didn't think too much about it, and he didn't think about which layer to let the soldiers put the ladder on!

So the ladders were erected in different ways, some on the first opening, and some straight on the top of the fortress.

The higher top of the fort meant that it took longer to climb, and the back was exposed to a salvo of firearms from the opposite side longer. But the generals found that it was easier for the sergeants and soldiers on it to climb up, because there seemed to be only artillery on it!

And the ladder in the middle was quickly overturned many times.

However, the artillery cannot fire on its own, and there must be artillery soldiers of the Xu army. Sure enough, there was a "crackling" sound from above, and the screaming figure fell down. The gunners are also equipped with firecrackers! However, they were not infantry soldiers who specialized in foot combat, and there were not many of them, and only one round was launched in a hurry.

The sophistication and wealth of Xu Jun's ordnance and equipment opened the eyes of the Yue Army.

There are still troops climbing up and down the battlements of the fortress! The military commander shouted below and did his best for the emperor!

The sound of fighting and the clash of swords came from the shining night sky. In the distance, I saw a patch of torches on the dark earth, like stars in the sky, and more reinforcements came.
