Chapter 492: Night Attack on the Camp
That night, the 3,000 soldiers and horses were sent to each army.
After the deliberation of Liu Chan and others, the Wei army had a total of thirty-six camps that could be raided, and three thousand soldiers, one camp, could be assigned to about eighty-three people.
However, it was impossible to reach all the places on a four-hundred-mile-long front overnight, and a full-scale raid plan would not be launched until the evening of the third day.
On the morning of the third day, these 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived one after another in the army of Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and other four generals.
Zhao Yun was in charge of the 21st to 40th camps, these 20 camps, after Liu Chan's consultation, there were nine camps suitable for attacking, so Liu Chan allocated 750 soldiers to Zhao Yun.
After receiving Liu Chan's letter, Zhao Yun said to the generals: "Your Majesty asked us to start tonight and raid the twenty-first, twenty-fifth, twenty-eighth, and thirty-eighth...... and other nine camps. The other three will also work together tonight. ”
Zhao Yun's subordinate Yan Yu slapped his palms and said excitedly: "Great, we have been bluffing for so many days, and we can finally do it." ”
Zhao Yun continued: "In addition, His Majesty has also sent seven hundred and fifty soldiers over, these soldiers are the elite trained by General Zhang Ren, who are good at climbing cliffs and launching surprise attacks, and they can be relied on to blend into the enemy village first, so as to cooperate with the outside and the outside, so as to greatly reduce casualties. ”
Yan Yu heard this and said: "If this is the case, let them be familiar with the terrain first, otherwise it will be difficult to move at night and have no clear vision." ”
"Not bad!" Zhao Yun nodded, and said to the chief general who was sent over to command the seven hundred and fifty people: "I have to work hard for you to go with us and familiarize yourself with the terrain in the past, so as not to make mistakes at night." ”
"That's as it should be!"
Zhao Yun then ordered: "Assign these seven hundred and fifty people to the nine camps of the twenty-one and twenty-third that are going to be attacked. Light a beacon to notify everywhere and help them get acquainted with the terrain during the attack. ”
"No!"
An hour later, Zhao Yun led a few hundred men to arrive at the 38th Wei Army Pass.
Zhao Yun asked the soldiers and horses to bluff in front, and observed the enemy situation with the dozens of soldiers in the rear.
The Wei army at the juncture was already surprised, and did not light the wolf smoke to ask for reinforcements. After all, wolf smoke is very precious, and there are not many stocks in each Guancheng.
Zhao Yun asked the leader of the dozens of people, "How is it?" Is it easy to move? ”
"It's easy to climb, but you need to know the layout of the enemy camp, you go up and have a look." The leader commanded one of his soldiers.
"No!" The soldier received the order, observed the terrain, and immediately climbed up the hill from one side to observe the interior of the Wei State camp from a high position.
After about half an hour, the soldiers returned, and at the same time brought back a drawing, and Zhang taught them all these years that their skills were not as simple as killing the enemy.
The leader looked at the drawings and said with a smile: It's easy to do with this, General Zhao, I'll go back and ponder, think about how to act, brothers are in a hurry, let them have a good rest, and it is convenient to move at night. ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back and order someone to prepare wine and meat, and after you rest, eat and drink enough before you act." ”
Zhao Yun then led his troops back to the camp.
After returning to the camp, Zhao Yun first ordered people to prepare wine and meat, and then called the generals and colonels of the nine camps responsible for attacking the Wei army to discuss the plan of action.
The leader of the raid also called his non-commissioned officers according to the drawings drawn by the soldiers to discuss how to act.
When the discussion was over, the soldiers and horses went down to rest and recharge for the evening's action.
At the beginning of the day, all the soldiers woke up on time, had eaten wine and meat, and had eaten and drunk enough, and then went into action.
Zhao Yun was still in charge of Camp No. 38, because the scale of this camp was the largest of the twenty camps he was in charge of, with more than 500 people.
On the women's wall of the city, there are only a few sporadic soldiers patrolling.
"Why are the Shu soldiers here again, and they don't let people sleep?"
"Do you want to tell the general to come?"
"Notify a fart, last time the Shu army came over at night, let's go and inform the general, you forgot about the scolded dog blood spray."
"The Shu army is full of food, and it won't really attack, you don't care about him. Have you ever seen them release an arrow in so many days? ”
The soldiers at the juncture talked a lot, and after several days of harassment by the Han army but did not attack, these Wei troops had become accustomed to it and lost their vigilance. Neither the wolf smoke was lit, nor did the soldiers and horses in the pass be notified to come over to defend.
Of course, the soldiers in the pass did not need to be notified, so they could naturally hear such movements, but they felt that the Han army would not really attack and was unwilling to come.
"Brothers, act!" The Han soldiers under the pass lit torches, and more than 80 soldiers who were good at climbing and attacking took advantage of the night to climb the mountains on both sides with the faint light of the torches in the hands of the Han soldiers under the pass.
Generally Orion enters the mountain once, sometimes to stay in the mountain for many days, and even at night will move, because of the night vision habits developed all year round, even if these soldiers are in the dark night, only the faint light transmitted by the torches of the Han Dynasty is used for lighting, they are still walking like flying, and it does not affect the movement at all.
Soon, they touched the cliff above the Wei army's camp, fixed the hook, and took advantage of the night to touch the Wei army's camp.
On the top of the mountain, there are also many soldiers left, who are responsible for covering their teammates.
"Shoot me the soldier on that arrow tower, he didn't sleep, he will find our brother."
"There's another one there, shoot him for me!"
"The two over there are together, and they have to shoot arrows together, and they will be killed with one hit."
The soldiers who stayed on the mountain line observed the situation inside the pass and helped their teammates who had lurked in the pass to solve potential crises.
Although it was late at night in the mountains and forests, there were torches everywhere in the castle, and there were many mosquitoes in the mountains, and there were many torches around the soldiers to avoid mosquitoes, so it was easy to shoot.
In the dark night, arrows were fired into the camp, and each arrow hit the vital point of the Wei army, basically killing them with one blow.
The archery skills of these soldiers are very high, because when facing a sensitive prey, there is only one chance to shoot the arrow, and if you miss the shot, the prey will be alarmed, and the prey will escape.
The sound of the Han army drums outside the pass shook the sky, and the sound of the Wei army, which was shot by the Han army, before dying, could not alarm others.
However, after a long time, the posts in the pass were solved by the Han army.
More than 40 Han soldiers sneaked into the Wei army pass from the cliff with a hook.
Since the sentry post was solved, the eyes of the Wei army at the pass were all focused on the outside, and more than forty soldiers went straight to the gate.
Under the closed door, there were only a dozen or so soldiers, and some even fell asleep regardless of the movement outside, and the Han army held daggers and swarmed up, but they were solved in a moment.
Then the Han army opened the gate and let the soldiers and horses outside enter the gate.
"If you succeed, brothers will kill me!" Zhao Yun saw that the gate was wide open, and with a loud shout, he rode his horse into the gate.
