759. The Battle of the Night Raid

As the rammed earth walls were engulfed in flames, the rammed earth walls became brittle under the flames, and many places collapsed on their own.

It can be said that this ancient city has completely lost its meaning of existence, and it can no longer be a stronghold of garrisons.

Next, Tai Shi Ci first led his troops back to his camp, and then sent a large number of scouts to investigate the defense of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba's army in Liangfu County, as well as the situation of Liu Bei's army who had evacuated from Suqiu.

It's a pity that Tai Shici doesn't know where Huang Zhongjun has arrived now, so he also sent some scouts to find Huang Zhongjun near the original Juping County, waiting for Huang Zhongjun to come and attack the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.

However, when Tai Shici was looking for fighters, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei did not seem to be willing to defend but not attack, so on the night of this day, Zhu Weijun, who had stationed their camp in the western area of Mengshan, also suffered a night attack.

I don't know when Yuan Tan and Zang Ba have secretly mobilized four or five thousand troops, made a circle from Liangfu County, and with the help of the advantage of the Taishan thieves in Zang Ba's army, they quietly sneaked to the vicinity of Zhu Weijun's camp by looking for a mountain road in Mengshan.

Almost after it was dark, bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp arranged like plum blossoms by Zhu Weijun, which inevitably made the camp look very obvious in the mountains.

Several bandit spies in the Zang Ba army saw Zhu Weijun's defenseless appearance from a high place, so they sent a message that they could send troops to the generals of the Zang Ba army, Yin Li, the second general of Chang Xuan, and Zhang Nan, the general under Yuan Tan's account, who led the troops to sneak attack this time.

For a while, Zang Ba's Taishan thief army and some mountain militia soldiers selected by Yuan Tan from the Qingzhou army took advantage of the night to touch the direction where Zhu Weijun was.

Under the guidance of the thieves who were familiar with the terrain of the mountain road on this side of Mengshan, this sneak attack coalition army also marched to the periphery of Zhu Weijun's camp before the third watch in the middle of the night.

Subsequently, nearly 100 elite thieves in the Taishan thief army took the lead in touching the periphery of a military village in Zhu Wei's camp, obviously preparing to go over first to feel the situation, solve the night sentry of Zhu Wei's army, so that the soldiers and horses in the rear could rush over.

These more than 100 people rushed to the side of the military village wall under the cover of night like a tiger leaping and wolf, and then several people climbed up the wall with their lifts, but they easily touched the inside of the military village.

Soon they divided up a few people and climbed up to the two guard towers near the camp wall, silently killed the three sentinels who were in charge of keeping watch at night, and then under the shaking of torches, they informed the people outside that they could attack.

So Yili, Chang Xuan, and Zhang Nan took four or five thousand soldiers and rushed over to this side to kill.

It's just that the more than 100 Taishan thieves came over before and it seemed to be relatively smooth, but now so many soldiers rushed over, but they somehow touched some traps on the way.

For a while, some people's feet were pierced and injured by bamboo thorns and the like, some people fell into caves, and some people were hung in the air, so that their night raiders who originally wanted to hide their traces were completely exposed.

At this time, the alarm bell was also ringing in the Zhu Wei army village, and the Zhu Wei army patrol soldiers who were in charge of night duty found out the news of the enemy attack, and quickly went to report the generals on duty at night, and then let the sleeping Zhu Wei soldiers in the camps everywhere get up and prepare for war.

As a result, the entire Zhu Wei army village was already ready for battle before the enemy attack came.

At the same time, the more than 100 elite thieves of Mount Tai who had infiltrated the Zhu Wei army village were originally going to sneak into the depths of Zhu Wei's army camp and set fire to the depths of the Zhu Wei army camp after destroying the arrow tower sentry and beckoning the rear army to attack.

But before they could sneak far into Zhu Wei's village, they suddenly shot out a series of crossbow arrows in several tents in front of them.

Before the Tarzan thieves could react, they had already died under the continuous barrage of crossbow arrows, and almost after they all overturned, nearly a hundred sword and shield men came out of these tents, examining their bodies.

It turned out that Tai Shici and Xu Shu had long been prepared for night attacks, so each military village was also set up according to a special route, and it can be said that the enemy troops who entered Zhu Wei's military village could often only come to an ambush area along different roads.

There are a hundred crossbow archers and a hundred sword and shield men on duty at night, and the places where they enter their field of vision are lit up by bonfires, so if a foreign enemy appears, they can naturally find it at the first time.

What's more, outside the military village and in the inner peripheral areas, there are also means such as alarm bells and traps set up by Bao Long and Chen Ying, who are from Orion, so when these Taishan thieves climbed over the wall and entered the Zhu Wei military village in the dark night, they had already touched the alarm bell, so that these crossbow archers, sword and shield men who were ambushed at night were prepared.

It's just that the sentry on the arrow tower can't be notified for a while, but as a sentry, he failed to find the enemy attacking, which is a dereliction of duty, so being killed by the enemy who touches in will naturally have to accept his fate.

In this way, Zang Ba and Yuan Tan sent people to attack at night tonight, although Zhu Weijun only noticed it after they touched the alarm bell, but now the camps everywhere have begun to mobilize preparations for a counterattack.

Of course, it will still take some time for Zhu Weijun to go from sleeping to waking up, and then to gather to prepare for the battle.

Therefore, after the ambushed 100 crossbow archers and 100 shield bearers killed the Tarzan thieves who had infiltrated, they quickly ran in the direction of the camp wall, and then some of the crossbow archers climbed the arrow tower, and some climbed the mobile arrow platform, and began to shoot crossbow arrows at the enemy troops who rushed outside.

Outside the Zhu Wei army village, Yin Li, Chang Xuan, and Zhang Nan at the beginning, in order not to be detected by the sentries on the Zhu Wei army's arrow tower, led the troops to hide more than 2,000 steps away from the military village, and now although they led the troops to rush over quickly, they could not completely let go of the speed in the dark night.

What's more, in this process, some soldiers encountered a trap set by Zhu Weijun or something, which made them rush over a lot slower.

Therefore, when they rushed to the front of Zhu Wei's army, there were already crossbowmen on this side to block them, and some sword and shield men were leaning against the camp wall to guard, and some sword and shield men picked up their spears and stabbed them through the gap in the camp to prevent the enemy troops outside from approaching and pushing the wall.

"Rush! Kill! ”

The surprise attack at night turned into a strong attack, and the Zang Bajun and Yuan Tan troops who rushed over rushed to the wall of the camp with wooden pillars, trying to make a hole and kill inside.

As long as they can enter the camp, they can cause a lot of chaos before Zhu Weijun reacts, and then set fire to it, which can naturally burn Zhu Weijun's camp to a lot of losses, and it can be regarded as completing their night attack mission......
