Night.

To the north and east of Pyongyang City, Peony Peak is at the top.

Two thousand Japanese soldiers quietly descended the mountain under the leadership of a general, aiming directly at the main army camp of the Ming Dynasty stationed on the west side.

Walking quickly in the wind and snow, the footsteps were not too big, and this group of Japanese soldiers thought that they could sneak close to the Ming military tent, but they didn't want to be followed by Daming sentinels from the moment they went down the mountain.

When this group of people walked around the foot of the mountain for nearly an hour, and finally saw the back camp of the army where Mo Xiaobai was stationed, the leader of the Japanese generals immediately signaled everyone to be silent.

Quietly pass, don't shoot a gun!

By the light of the rear camp, you can see that occasionally a group of soldiers will patrol by, but they rarely stop, they all rub their hands and quickly go around and leave.

Although there is vigilance, it is very lax!

"With such a heavy snowfall, even if the Ming generals want to be on guard, those soldiers will be lazy."

Seeing the three teams of Ming soldiers walking by, the leading Japanese general lowered his voice and said happily: "This is our chance, if we succeed in creating chaos in the Ming military camp and make them lose the ability to attack Pyongyang, then we can enter the city to accept the daimyo's reward, and we don't have to guard the cold Peony Peak." ”

Sneak attack at night.

A tactic that is not new at all, but also not outdated.

As a commander-in-chief, the general was not unaware of the dangers of night attacks, but he still had a reason to fight. First, there are orders from the commander of the regiment not to be disobeyed, and second, it is really not a human life to guard the big peony platform on the top of the cold mountain.

As long as the night attack can be successful, even if it is just to cause a little disturbance here, so that tomorrow the Ming army will not be able to attack normally, he is a meritorious person.

As for taking out the Ming army by night attack?

This kind of thought, he would not even dare to dream of.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of battles between the Japanese soldiers and the Ming army, and he is not one of the peasant pawns under his command who has been in the army for less than two years, and he has already seen the gap between the Japanese and the heavenly kingdom.

"Go, follow me!"

Seeing a group of Ming army patrols leaving in the distance, he had already figured out the pattern, and knew that it would take at least half an hour for the next team to arrive, and with a wave of his hand, he led his subordinates to trot forward.

Moved the rejecting horse outside the camp gate, split the wooden bolt of the camp gate, and more than 2,000 people broke in with a roar.

"Rush!"

The Japanese general led the way, and at a glance, he knew that most of the logistics baggage of the Ming army were placed here, and he sneered at the moment: "Start the fire from the tent in front of you, and burn it all the way to me." ”

"Hey!"

They had a lot to prepare for this attack. Because they didn't plan to directly clash with the Ming army, they could successfully set a fire to achieve their goal.

Of course, if there are some guards sleeping in the back camp, they will also help to send people on the road.

And the leading Japanese generals had already planned, as long as the fire was together, he would leave 500 men to continue to rush to the other large battalions in front, while he himself hurried away with his men.

The Ming people, who were bent on fighting fires, definitely didn't have the heart to come out to chase him.

The general's idea was very beautiful, but before he could think about how to ask Governor Konishi for credit, he heard the soldiers who broke into the tent hurriedly say: "General, there is no one in the tent!" ”

"There's no one on my side!"

"No one."

"No one!"

No one?

When the general heard this, his eyes first flashed with doubt, then surprise, and then turned into horror!

What he feared most in his heart had happened!

Even if they just choose to create a riot in the outermost rear camp, the Ming army is so prepared?

"Fast"

He roared, but before the second word 'withdraw' was spoken, the piercing sound of an arrow was already heard in his ears.

A sharp arrow pierced through the clusters of snowflakes and plunged into its throat.

One hit, deadly!

"Kill them all, not one left!"

At the front of the rear battalion, Li Ji's calm military order came. With Li Ji's order, a large number of Ming troops poured in at the entrance of the front village of the rear camp and the exit direction of the back village.

Kill!

………

"In the direction of the back camp, there are really Japanese people coming?"

The tens of thousands of battalions stretched for several miles before and after, but even so, when the shouts of the rear camp sounded, the position of the Chinese army could still vaguely hear the movement.

The Japanese fought so badly during the day, and they dared to attack at night?

Do you think Da Ming's sword soldiers are not long enough? Or do you think that the Ming soldiers will sleep like dead pigs at night?

"This is what you are here to die, right?"

Because the weather is too cold, the members of the Mengke are still sitting together on the fire, Xiaobai took a piece of freshly baked sweet potato, tore off the sweet potato skin and said angrily: "This kind of routine of sneak attack at night, even I know to be guarded against." ”

Regarding Bai Hualin's point of view, Xiao Yue also nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a death, and I don't take Bai Ri and Li Ji in my eyes at all." It is impossible for any general with a little common sense to be unguarded. ”

"It's true to send him to death, but if you want to say that it's just sending him to death, then you are also underestimating Yukicho Konishi."

Mo Xiaobai rubbed his palms and said, "In order to prevent someone from attacking, I had to arrange for three thousand soldiers to be stationed in the back camp, plus the night patrol soldiers, which means that there are five thousand soldiers who have not rested tonight." Then we can hear the battle in the battalion, and so can the sleeping soldiers around us, they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are more sensitive to this sound, and the quality of sleep of the soldiers in the battalion tonight will definitely not be guaranteed. ”

"Just for this? Send 2,000 soldiers to die? ”

"That's not it, probably I'm betting on luck, in case it's freezing this day, I really belong to the rear camp protection?"

"Betting on luck?"

Repeating these three words in his mouth, Bai Hualin said in surprise: "You just said that the only people who can carry out a sneak attack at night are the Japanese soldiers stationed on the Peony Peak in the north, they go down the mountain to sneak attack, and the Peony Peak stronghold is gone?" ”

"Peony Peak? What else do you think is there to be used there? ”

Mo Xiaobai shook his head and said with a smile: "The importance of the Peony Terrace stronghold is because it is located at a high place, and below the cliff is Pyongyang City, and you can look south to see all the movements in the city. In order to prevent others from occupying it, there will be a barrier stronghold in this place. ”

"If we need to have a long-term confrontation with the Japanese people, and we need to understand every move in Pyongyang, Muddae is my first choice for attacking. But I don't want to drag on the war at all, and I even know very well that in order to prevent me from breaking through the second gate on the west side, Governor Konishi will have to continue to transfer troops to this side. ”

"In this case, is it necessary for me to take the Peony Terrace? Even if I take the Peony Terrace, it is impossible for me to let my soldiers climb down the cliffs and kill them into Pyongyang in the winter, and that kind of behavior is definitely looking for death. ”

The peony platform at the top of the peony peak, in the current battle situation, is like a piece of chicken ribs.

This is true for Mo Xiaobai, and the same is true for President Konishi.

A peony platform can no longer affect the battle situation, but if the strategy of exhausting the enemy can succeed, it will be very beneficial to the Japanese people.

After all, soldiers are also human beings, and they can't fight with all their strength if they don't rest well.
