Chapter 240: Night Attack (I)
Xipo County
The shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the dense crowd climbed on the city like ants.
The defenders nervously and skillfully dumped the boiling oil cannon stone and smashed it into the surging crowd below, rolling up a terrible sound.
Blood soaked the walls, mixed with scorching stench, and permeated the city.
Wu Xingzong drummed and waved his will in the city, although the number of each family was large, but it was unbearable, and several times he personally led his subordinates to go up and beat the enemy down.
After a few times, the dyed robe was red.
However, it was still of some use, and for a moment, a large pot of dung fell like a rain, and suddenly the smoke was filled, and there was a lot of steaming and screaming, screaming and falling to the ground, and no one fell to the death, rolling back and forth on the ground, making a howling sound.
Boiling fecal juice is toxic, can make people even the white bones are exposed, even if these do not die on the spot, the fecal juice corrodes into the human body, it will be infected and rotted, and there is no possibility of survival.
Seeing that this piece of people fell suddenly, there was a new one rushing up, and someone kept falling, and someone kept filling in.
At last the trumpet sounded, and the enemy retreated like a tidal wave.
As the sun set, another day was over, and immediately, the Chu army's complete mechanism enabled the logistics battalion to quickly transport the wounded soldiers down, one after another.
At this moment, Tang He took a step forward and whispered: "Big brother, the family below has an unstable situation. ”
After all, the family was not a regular army, and after three days of fighting, with 200 casualties, it was already unbearable, and their complaints also affected the big families in the city.
Wu Xingzong's blood-stained robe, hearing this, was silent for a long time, for a moment, slowly stood up, and drank: "I order!"
With a "snap", the surrounding soldiers all stood up straight.
At this time, there were no outsiders around, Wu Xingzong pointed to the family members lying in the city and said: "From tonight, the military law team prohibits the family members from contacting the big households, and once there is any change, they will be suppressed immediately." ”
One man shouted his command.
Wu Xingzong looked around at everyone, gritted his teeth, and spit out a sentence from his teeth: "Order the cavalry and my own barracks to rest in advance." ”
The people around him couldn't help but change color, and they stood up straight, and they knew what this meant when they heard it.
It's a wreck.
At night, the 3,000 Wei army set up camp three miles outside Xipo County, most of the Wei soldiers had rested, and hundreds of people were on guard around the camp.
In the main camp tent, Han Wangduan, the chief general of the Wei army, sat in the tent and handed a military report to the soldiers.
"Present this military report to the king. Han Wang said.
"No. After receiving the military report, the soldiers turned around and walked out of the camp.
Han Wang kept watching him go out, with a bamboo expression on his face.
The military newspaper said that everything was going well, and that Xipo County would be recaptured within two days.
Han Wang is full of confidence in this.
Although the Wei army attacked for three days in a row, it was still unable to take the county seat of Xipo, but in Han Wang's opinion, the defenders in the city were about to be unable to support it, especially the county families, who were close to collapse.
As long as he storms it for another day or two, the county will be in his pocket.
At that time, he will also have to give an account to the king of Wei.
Han Wang is about thirty years old, with a medium stature and a good appearance, but there is a faint awe-inspiring atmosphere.
"Tomorrow at dawn and another onslaught, this Xipo county, I am afraid that it will be returned to our army again. Looking at the sky, it was already the second watch, and Han Wang also felt a little tired.
On weekdays, I had already fallen asleep at this hour, but now I am marching and fighting, but I don't have this kind of exquisiteness, so I have to take off my outer armor and wear only my inner robe, intending to rest.
However, he was not without vigilance, and ordered his soldiers to be on strict guard every night for the first three days.
But attacking the city during the day and guarding it at night, by this night, I was already a little tired.
"Pass the order, the patrol camp will return to normal tonight, everyone will have a good rest, and attack Xipo County tomorrow!" Han Wang instructed the soldiers outside the tent.
There is no problem with this order itself, and the city has been attacked for days, and the Chu army in Xipo County is even more tired, how can they come to rob the camp at night?
Ordered to go down, Han Wanghan went back to rest.
The night was not a rainy night, but I saw a black cloud passing over the night sky from time to time, and from time to time the moon appeared through the cracks, covering the earth with moonlight.
The city gate of Xipo County slowly opened, and the suspension bridge was quietly lowered.
A group of soldiers dressed in leather armor and leading horses, with 100 cavalry in front and 300 infantry in the rear, quietly went out of the city, waiting for the commander's order.
Wu Xingzong was also dressed in armor, and the war horse he was carrying, also at the mouth and hooves, and after leaving the city silently, he waved at everyone, and these four hundred people immediately followed him and quietly marched towards the Wei army camp.
A dark cloud surged in the southwest, and the thick dark cloud covered the sky for a long time, Wu Xingzong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly prayed a few words.
Three miles are almost in the blink of an eye.
Under the cover of a dark cloud, four hundred men gathered in the field, forming a strict formation, with the cavalry in front armed with cavalry spears and swords and shields in the back.
Wu Xingzong made a gesture, and everyone paused, and first sent one or two people over to investigate the situation.
After a while, the investigator came back and whispered about the situation in the Wei army's camp, and Wu Xingzong sneered.
He summoned his henchmen out of the city tonight, in order to make a night attack and repel the enemy.
For now, everything is going well.
At this time, most of the soldiers in the Wei camp were asleep, in fact, the soldiers on patrol were normal, but due to the three-day battle, these patrol soldiers were drowsy, and the effect was far less than usual.
"God help me!" Wu Xingzong thought silently, and suddenly gave a strict order: "Kill in." ”
Suddenly, the sound of hooves thundered, hundreds of cavalry rushed straight over, and they pounced in a blink of an eye, and when they arrived at the door, Wu Xingzong shouted: "Hand fire thunder!"
Ten prepared cavalrymen threw out violently, only to hear a "boom", and the door exploded.
In the main tent, Han Wang was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of shouting and killing!
"Oh no, the Chu army has robbed the camp!"
"Sharp!"
"Ah! It's the Chu army coming to An! Come and defend against the enemy!"
There was a shout, and it seemed to be extremely chaotic.
Han Wang's big tent suddenly burst into a commotion.
"What's going on?" Hearing this, Han Wang got up suddenly, subconsciously put on his armor, and didn't even have time to put on his boots, so he strode out with a long knife.
As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw that the camp was full of fires, and there were many people fighting.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Han Wang asked loudly as he grabbed one of them.
"Hui, Hui, General! It's the Chu army that is robbing the camp!" The man was startled and hurriedly replied.
"Then what are you running, how many people are coming from the Chu army?" Han Wang suddenly glared and asked.
"It's not clear if it's small!"
Hearing the stumbling of the other party's reply, Han Wang was furious, stabbed him straight and killed him, but he didn't dare to delay at all, he hurriedly went to find his war horse, and got on the horse with a knife.
Moreover, shouting loudly, the soldiers of the Wei camp are ready to meet the enemy!
At this moment, the cavalry of the Chu army had pierced into the camp, slashing desperately, and from time to time throwing torches to the camp, forming a fire to disrupt the enemy's situation.
The Wei camp was hit by a fire, and it was chaos again.
With firepower, the charge of only a few hundred people was enough for the soldiers who woke up in the middle of the night to blow up the camp.
For a while, screams and howls were intertwined, and the sound of piercing and breaking ** was endless.
Wu Xingzong fought in person, had an excellent grasp of tactics, and whenever someone wanted to gather, he would ride a horse wherever he appeared, kill them, and set off a rain of blood.
In just a moment, the infantry outside had already entered, and the four hundred men attacked the two thousand five hundred, which was supposed to hit the stone with an egg, but at this moment, it was invincible, and the sound of killing rang out.
This military camp is full of figures harvesting life, screaming and fighting.
"Wei Shuai, it's an enemy general!" At this time, a personal soldier shouted, and in his eyes, he saw Han Wang in front of the Wei Ying tent.
Without any hesitation, Wu Xingzong rushed towards Han Wang on his horse, shouting, "Kill!"
Suddenly there was a scream of slaughter, and there was chaos, and more than a dozen intercepted Wei soldiers continued to fall in response.
Although Wu Xingzong was born as a civilian, when he was a gangster, he learned kung fu from others, and after joining the Chu army, he studied and practiced hard, although he had never worshiped a famous teacher, but he was not weak in the battlefield.
"Kill, kill!" the two teams fought each other.
The camp was in flames, and the city was clearly visible.
At this moment, the gate of Xipo County opened again, and five hundred people poured out of it.
These people are all armed with weapons, all strong men.
The first person was shouting loudly: "Everyone, let the Wei army attack again, not to mention the suffering of the people in the city, the Wei army has always been fierce, and revenge will be avenged, we have surrendered the Chu army, and participated in the defense of the city, do you think the Wei army can still let us go? That is the case, it is better to follow the Chu army to repel the Wei army! At that time, not only will you be able to keep your existing wealth, but you will also be rewarded by the king of Chu!"
"Listen, now that General Wu has broken the camp, he will fight with Zhou tonight. Kill!" it was Zhou Shucheng who spoke.
This man has a knack for stirring people's minds.
Hearing his words, these five hundred people all agreed in unison, took weapons, followed Zhou Shucheng, and headed towards the Wei army camp.
In the Wei army camp, continue to fight, the Wei army is a regular army in the end, and some people have already woken up and are organizing resistance.
At this moment, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Five hundred village soldiers, armed with weapons, rushed in at this time.
Originally, the Wei army was attacked at night, and then rushed by the militia, and there was a big uproar.
Wu Xingzong was overjoyed, waved his knife away, and staggered past in an instant, and there was another personal soldier of the enemy, who spurted a large stream of blood from his body, and fell down with a bang.
"Kill, our army has already supported, and the Wei army is finished. Wu Xingzong held his long knife high and said angrily.
In the firelight, more than a dozen horsemen behind him obeyed the order, galloped, and rushed towards Han Wang, only to see the sword light like snow, constantly chopping, blood splashing.
The cavalry passed, Han Wang stood upright for a few seconds, and with a "boom", he fell to the ground.
That night, Wu Xingzong led 400 soldiers to attack the Wei camp at night, the Wei army's main general Han Wang died, the Wei army was defeated, 1,500 people surrendered, and countless grains and grasses were obtained. (To be continued.)
