271 Burning the Company!
On the dark field.
A thousand-man light cavalry was running fast, with a fluorescent ribbon tied on everyone's shoulders, like a long belt of fireflies floating on the field.
Chu Tianxiu was not good at riding a horse, so Zuer rode with him. He held Zuer's slim waist and came in the wind with a faint fragrance.
Soon, they arrived outside the camp of the 250,000 Wu army.
"stop!"
Chu Tianxiu shouted lightly.
Zuer immediately stopped the horse and looked ahead with caution.
Li Yu stopped his horse.
One thousand light cavalry in Yexiao Camp stopped like the wind and stopped two hundred steps away from the Wu army camp.
Among the cavalry, the Li family members account for a large part. Other light cavalrymen also admire Xiao Hunhou.
After defeating the 100,000 troops of King Chu, Xiaohunhou's prestige in the court army has already become a new generation of war gods, chasing his father-in-law Ping Wang Li Rong.
The soldiers obeyed his orders quite obedient.
Two hundred steps outside the Wu army camp, this distance is almost a demand for death in the daytime.
The Wu army had 20,000 light cavalry, which were elite soldiers. If they rushed out of the camp and surrounded them, they could destroy all the Ye Xiaoying Camps of one thousand of them.
But it won't work at night.
Although the Wu army had 20,000 light cavalry, they were all blind at night. There were no soldiers with night blindness in the cavalry, and there were probably no hundreds of them.
There were not many wealthy families in the Wu State who came from wealthy families. These soldiers were selected from civilians. They had night blindness since childhood and were difficult to improve after adulthood.
This is also the reason why the 1,000 light cavalrymen in Yexiao Camp selected by Chu Tianxiu are almost all rich and clans.
Even if one thousand light cavalry can find out who can fight night battles, they are definitely not the opponent of their well-equipped "Ye Xiaoying Camp".
"The Wu army seemed to be strengthening its vigilance! A hundred steps outside the camp, a large number of bonfires were piled up, and sentries stood guard to prevent us from approaching.
Once we showed up near the campfire, their soldiers could see it.”
Li Yu looked at the Wu army camp and said.
From one hundred steps away, gunpowder arrows can actually fall into the Wu army camp.
But the Wu army had no choice. If the bonfire was too far from the Wu army camp, the soldiers who were standing guard were touched by their necks, and they would die in vain if they died. One hundred steps away, this is the limit that Wu army archers can shoot.
Chu Tianxiu smiled, "It seems that he was beaten and suffered heavy losses last night. This time he learned a lesson. However, it is useless. The Wu army cannot fight at night, so they can only guard the camp and be beaten passively.
Let's go around and see how Wu Jun is weak."
One thousand light cavalrymen in Yexiao Camp circled around Wanling City.
The Wu army's 250,000 troops surrounded Wanling City, but there was no three missing one, leaving any room for escape for Wanling City.
It was clear that Wu Jun wanted to swallow Wanling City in one bite.
However, the Wu army's 250,000 battalion was too long, which also caused considerable inconvenience to the Wu army's own command.
The overly bloated body is filled with compost in front of the Ye Xiao Camp.
The question is, where can I cut it and hurt Wu Jun and it will penetrate into the bone marrow.
...
"Last night we tested that this place was the Wu army's baggage battalion, which was escorted to the army's large amount of food and food, which was at least enough for the army's ten days, and there were 10,000 infantry guards.
There are two camps of ten thousand people around it, and they can support the baggage camp at any time.
Tonight, should we focus on attacking this baggage battalion?
Ordinary large army marchs will only carry about seven to ten days of food. More food must be transported from the rear.
Once the Wu army and other food and grass that accompanied the army were burned, the Wu army would immediately fall into a situation of shortage of food and urgently needed the rear to transport food.
They supply the food they have fought for months, and should be in a further city, and must be transported over immediately. We can attack their food routes, so that the Wu army can't continue to attack Wanling City!"
Li Yudao.
"Last night, it has been twelve hours... Maybe the baggage battalion has been transferred. King Xiang Bi of Wu was experienced and experienced. It is not easy to burn the Wu army's food and grass.
Can the Wu army's supplies and food be burned? It's just luck that the blind cat meets the dead mouse!"
Chu Tianxiu pondered.
“What should I do?”
Di'er asked.
"The Wu army had a total of twenty-five camps, each with about 10,000 troops. It seems that there are many people, but there are not many camps. There are only about one hundred tents in a camp of ten thousand people.
Our night owl camp was 1,000 people, and we scattered to burn twenty-five battalions, and each battalion could have forty people attacked at night. We quickly shot out gunpowder arrows and burned all their tents.
No matter where the baggage camp is hidden, there is a chance to burn it... Even if it is not burned, such a big chaos will be enough for Wu Jun to bear it."
Chu Tianxiu sneered.
The horses of the light cavalry carried a large number of quivering launchers, filled with gunpowder arrows, and at least twenty gunpowder arrows.
This means that forty people can quickly shoot hundreds of gunpowder arrows, enough to be in a camp, causing violent explosions and flames.
"good!"
"Just do it!"
"About an hour later! I used a golden firework as a signal and everyone started at the same time!"
A thousand light cavalrymen, led by their respective team leaders, rushed to the periphery of different Wu army 10,000 camps and stood by.
...
Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er, accompanied by forty light cavalrymen from the Li family, waiting patiently on the periphery of one of the 10,000-person camps.
Chu Tianxiu can't ride a horse, nor can he shoot on the horse. During the night attack, Li Yu took action himself. Of course, he couldn't go forward and could only watch from a distance.
He estimated the time and about an hour passed.
One thousand light cavalrymen were probably scattered outside the various 10,000 camps of the Wu army.
"You can light golden fireworks!"
Chu Tianxiu said.
Joer immediately took out a large golden firework from the horse's quiver.
Use a match, light it.
"Swoosh!~!"
The fireworks soared hundreds of feet high, exploded in the air, turning into a golden chrysanthemum, extremely dazzling and thrilling.
"rush!"
Li Yu shouted lightly, holding a bow in his hand, and slamming the horse under his crotch.
The forty cavalry rushed towards the camp of the Wu army like arrows.
The cavalry shot out gunpowder arrows in their hands about a hundred steps away from the camp. Their fuses were all designed like matches, and they caught fire when they rubbed them on the matchbox without ignition.
Forty gunpowder arrows flew out instantly.
"Swish!"
The fuse burned, and the gunpowder tube was "puzzled" and ejected violently.
The arrow accelerated and flew three hundred steps away, inside the Wu army camp.
Li Yu's forty cavalry ran along the outside of the camp, and kept firing gunpowder arrows. The arrows fell like rain and fell towards the Wu army's camp.
In almost a short moment, all the eight hundred gunpowder arrows they carried fell into the Wu army's 10,000 camp, exploded and started to burn.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Wu army camp saw the fireworks explode and countless rockets fell into the camp, but they were so scared that they were filled with horror. Suddenly, there was a burst of crying in the camp.
The tents in the camp quickly burned. One by one, many soldiers wailed and tried their best to put out the fire.
"quick"
"Enemy attack!"
"here we go again!"
"Arrowman, shoot the arrows quickly! Don't let them approach."
"When you leave, save it! Where is the bucket?"
However, they could see clearly the movements on the wilderness outside the camp. They were all pitch black and could not even see ghosts.
The Wu army's arrows shot out randomly, and landed within a hundred steps, causing no cold hair to be injured.
Chu Tianxiu and Zuer were riding horses and watching on a small hill in the distance.
But I saw that the 200,000-strong camp of Wu army was full of flames, burning, and the fire seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were desperately looking for water to put out the fire.
"Son-in-law, this fire is really big. Maybe I have a chance to burn all their supplies and food."
Joo-sighed.
Chu Tianxiu smiled faintly, "With this method of burning, the King of Wu has lost his camp tent. He probably will have to sleep in the open air in the future, and it is easy to catch a cold."
