Chapter 242 The Snake of Changshan (Continued)

At night, sleepless night, wailing sounds in the military camp one after another, which made many soldiers toss and turn and unable to fall asleep. A crushing defeat in the daytime, many soldiers and young men died, and some escaped by chance, but were covered in scars. At this moment, they were moaning because of the unbearable pain.

Saving a life on the battlefield was something that many people prayed to God and Buddha, but for some people who were injured and not dead, it was a torment because the injuries on their bodies could not be healed and they would still die in the end.

At this moment, the person groaning in the military camp is the injured on the battlefield who was lucky enough to die but was not as good as death. Although Shangguan mobilized many military doctors to heal the wounded, the biting pain made many injured suffer.

At the side of the soil slope, a group of soldiers wearing all over their bodies and dozing against the soil slope in linen cloth, listening to the moans coming from the village not far away, all of them were confused.

Tonight they were ordered to stay at night to watch out for the enemy troops in Xuanhu City to attack at night. Everyone was waiting for the battle. He felt uncomfortable listening to his comrades' moans. Although this kind of thing was common when going to war, he put his heart in his heart. If it was me who was wailing at this time, who would like to do it?

There are no eye-catching arrows on the battlefield. It depends on who can survive. The same is a wound. Some people can survive if they are shot into hedgehogs. Some people can only get shot into one arrow. Some people can't stand it if they are killed by a knife on their shoulders. Some people can't stand it to death. Some people's stomach is cut and their intestines flow out. After being stuffed back, they still live smoothly.

So you still have to burn more incense and worship Buddha on weekdays and ask for blessings from Buddha!

While many soldiers were thinking about it, the alert sentries quietly warned one after another. Everyone was shocked, pulled off the linen draped on their bodies, and began to prepare for war under the command of the general.

Today, the official army failed to attack the city, and suffered heavy casualties. The generals said that the enemy was most likely to come to attack at night, so the soldiers were encouraged. Once the opponent really came to attack, they would have a head-on attack to avenge the casualties.

Tonight, it was pitch black outside the camp. Someone looked carefully and saw that in the dark wilderness, he could not see anything clearly. However, people with good eyesight still found something wrong:

There seemed to be black shadows moving in the wilderness. After looking carefully, I found that there were still many black shadows.

There is no doubt that it was the enemy who came to attack, and there were a large number of people. Everyone worked hard to stay up late in the wilderness, but it was finally in vain!

Dongdaying where they are located is located on the outer edge of Changwei, and there are trenches on the inner side of Changwei. On weekdays, soldiers and catapults pass by several suspension bridges. At this time, the suspension bridges have been closed. If the enemy wants to attack the camp, they have to climb over the trenches and climb up Changwei.

The official army used the camp as bait, and the soldiers on the night side were ambushed on the north and south sides between the camp and the long fence, spreading a large pocket, and waiting for the night-attacked enemy troops to crash into it.

When more than half of these bitches have climbed over the long circumference, everyone can do it!

The soldiers held their breath and looked at Changwei's earth slope quietly. After watching for a long time, no one crawled over. Suddenly, the fire lights on the inside of Changwei were lit up, and many fire arrows flew towards the camp like meteor showers.

The enemy attacked directly attacked the camp with fire arrows, which surprised the soldiers who set up the ambush. However, they were not fools who were not incompetent. Since the other party did not dare to climb over the trenches and the long encirclement, then shoot at each other.

It was dark and the fire was bright. Whoever lit the ignition was lighting the lantern in the toilet - looking for shit (seeking death). The soldiers who could participate in the ambush at night were of course not blindfolded, so everyone climbed up the earth encirclement and shot arrows directly at the dark shadows in the wilderness.

Explosions sounded one after another, and the enemy and us began to throw thunderstorms at each other. As the fire flashed, people were everywhere in the wilderness, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of the camp, rushing up the slope of the earth to shoot arrows outwards.

When the enemy attacks, they are not afraid. Not only are they prepared, but their friendly forces also send troops to reinforce at any time. No matter how many enemy troops are, they have to retreat in shame. As both sides continue to throw thunders, they can use the fire to aim at any suspicious shadow and shoot arrows.

The two sides shot against each other through the trench, and the number of people on their side was not inferior, so there was nothing to worry about!

At this moment, there was also an explosion in the direction of the Dazhai in the distance, rising and falling, as if there were many thunders exploding in the sky. The soldiers couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that this is a feint attack, and the other party was heading for the Nanzhai?

......

In the south of Xuanhu City, and to the south of the Ru River, the ambushed soldiers were shooting against the coming enemy soldiers. Because the camp was located in the lower reaches of Xuanhu, the defenders in the city could flow down the river and launch a sneak attack on a bamboo raft. Therefore, the camp was well prepared and was waiting for the other party to die.

As a result, the other party really came to die!

The sentry with excellent eyesight saw a large number of black shadows moving on the Rushui River upstream, and quietly informed the ambush soldiers. When the other party approached, they first threw a round of thunder and then fired thousands of arrows at the same time.

The enemy troops seemed to be prepared for the attack. After being hit by a head-on attack, they still had the strength to counterattack and threw out many thunders. On the banks of the Ru River in the dark, fire flashed and loud noises continued, looking like lightning and thunder.

Not all soldiers are competent in fighting at night, but the sight at night is poor, and there are too many people and it is easy to get indiscriminate, so the official army that set up an ambush and waited for the rabbit did not attack easily, but instead guarded the siege and shot arrows at the shaking shadows outside.

The thunder that constantly exploded was bursting with fire, and the flashing made many people feel dazzled. The sight was not good. It was impossible to tell whether a black shadow suspected to be a human in the distance was a human. Anyway, there were enough arrows, so I shot it first.

Since the government army surrounded Xuanhu, the attack on the city has been unhappy, and many soldiers were furious. Now the other party is looking for death, which is just in line with everyone's wishes. While defending the enemy, they must also beware of the other party's damage to the dam.

There is a river dam built on Ru River. The water gate of the diversion channel is open. There is a wooden fence on the dam and soldiers are stationed.

The river channel in front of the dam was full of wooden stakes. If the enemy sent people to swim and attack the dam, it would be impossible to succeed. Even if he was on a boat, he would be blocked by wooden stakes exposed to the water. The dam was more than two miles away from Xuanhu, and the enemy could not launch a direct attack from the city no matter what.

The reason why it is so tightly defended is that this dam across Rushui is very important and is a bridge connecting the east and west sides of the Taiwan Strait, which is conducive to the rapid mobilization of troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, so that the villages can echo each other.

Therefore, if the enemy wants to launch a sneak attack tonight, the dam next to the Nanzhai is most likely to be the target. The defenders on the dam are ready. In order to avoid becoming a bright target in the dark, they did not ignite the torch and shot arrows directly at the dark shadows on the water.

There were fire and sound everywhere, with intertwined light and shadows and poor vision, so they couldn't figure out how many people there were on the other side, but there were a large number of people on their side, so there was nothing to worry about.

An explosion sounded from the east. From a distance, there were fires flashing in the direction of the camp in the east, as if it was an attack.

Could it be that the enemy's feint attacking here and the main force of the night attack went to the east camp?

Many people thought so, but suddenly a fire broke out in the northwest direction, and there was also an explosion. Looking at the two camps in the east and west, the soldiers were a little confused for a moment: Could it be that the enemy attacked from three sides and attacked three directions at the same time?

Originally, there were few troops. If we divided the troops to conduct a night attack, would the opponent be stupid or arrogant?

......

In the northwest of Xuanhu, a small village was surrounded by fire, and the defenders struggled to support the enemy in the fire. When they encountered the attack, they lit the beacon and sounded the horn.

The long enclosure is a circle, surrounding the hanging gourd in the circle, connecting the four camps in the east, south, west and north. There are small villages at a certain distance between them as a warning.

Once the guards of each small village find suspicious people approaching the Changxiang, they can directly intercept them. If they find that there are enemy troops in the Changxiang trying to break through, they can immediately warn the camps on both sides. At night, they must guard against the enemy leaving the city to destroy the Changxiang.

Today, the official army attacked the city, with heavy casualties. The commander sent orders to the guards of the small village, saying that the enemy was very likely to attack tonight, so the defenders were ready and waited for the enemy to "arrival as scheduled."

Now, the enemy has indeed come. While attacking the western camp, he attacked the small village here. His intention is very clear, and he wants to intercept the reinforcements sent by the northern camp here and buy time for him to attack the western camp.

Fires surged into the sky in the direction of the camp to the west, and explosions came one after another. It seemed that the battle was very fierce, and the defenders of the small village were almost unable to hold on. The opponent threw thunder in the sky. Not to mention the power, the explosion made the soldiers' ears buzz.

It was at a critical moment that the troops and horses who came from the central camp in the north finally arrived and began to shoot at the enemy in the dark. Because it was dark, they did not dare to advance.

The generals led the troops and kept in mind the Prime Minister's instructions: If the enemy attacks tonight, it is very likely that they are preparing to feint attack a large camp, and then the main force ambush the troops coming to reinforce. In other words, the opponent's strategy may be to surround the points and attack the reinforcements.

Therefore, although the troops he led were quite large, they had to be very cautious. Marines at night were difficult and more troublesome. If you were not careful, the team would be too dispersed and would easily be defeated one by one.

Even though the soldiers are not blindfolded, their sight is poor at night and they cannot light a torch, so they must be very cautious.

Reinforcements spread out around the small village, carefully shooting against countless shadows in the dark, and sent a small group of elite troops to touch the south. Sure enough, they found traps such as tripping horse ropes in the wilderness, and there were also people around Changwei Tupo, with obvious ambush.

The reinforcements were very grateful and relieved for their caution. Looking at the Xiying, who was lit up in the south, he decided to march carefully and not be anxious.

The camp on the west side is heavily guarded, with tens of thousands of troops stationed, and many young and strong men. They are ready to defend tonight. Even if the enemy attacks, they are eager to invade the camp. Even if they attack, the government army will have many soldiers and will never be at a disadvantage.

So, just wait for a while!

......

In the Western Camp, the fire shone brightly like daytime, and corpses were everywhere in the camp. The defeated officers and soldiers escaped from the broken camp and fled to the dark wilderness in a panic, followed by the Anzhou cavalry.

The Xiying defenders were always on guard against the enemy's attack tonight, so when the enemy really attacked, they immediately launched a counterattack, and reinforcements sent by the central camp in the north also arrived quickly.

The invading enemy troops saw that they had no choice but to retreat quickly, and fires lit up in the direction of the camp in the south, and explosions came one after another. Reinforcements did not enter the Xiying, but directly bypassed the camp and marched southward.

As a result, he encountered a hiding not long after walking out. The battle was very fierce. When the commander and general of the Xiying camp saw that the friendly troops were caught, he quickly opened the camp gate and led his troops out to reinforce. As a result, everything was over.

The reinforcements were attacked, and the reinforcements were also fake, and the defeated enemy was also fake.

The troops leaving the camp were quickly ambushed, and the elite enemy soldiers were afraid of death and forcibly attacked the camp regardless of casualties. The subsequent archers even shot arrows at the crowd regardless of the melee between the soldiers on both sides.

The elite enemy troops, who were like mad dogs, quickly broke through the interception of the official army and rushed into the camp to set fire everywhere. Then a large number of enemy troops rushed in. Tens of thousands of Xichang defenders collapsed, and they didn't care about so many, and rushed to flee.

Then it became the target of cavalry pursuit.

In a corner of the camp, Yang Su, who was wearing several arrows in his armor, sat on a corpse gasping for breath. He was no longer as strong as he used to be. He was a little tired after a hand-to-hand battle and needed a rest.

As the pioneer of the night attack tonight, Yang Su made some careful arrangements, and then led the surrendered troops in Yuzhou whom he had personally trained as the vanguard to launch an attack on the enemy camp.

More than half of the casualties were exchanged for his quick attack into the enemy camp, and he was almost shot to death by arrows.

Yang Su is not afraid of being over 100 years old, because he has the obsession with revival and the confidence to win.

The enemy army had more than 100,000 troops, and the Xuanhu Guards and the young and strong army had barely exceeded 10,000 troops, and the troops were 10 to 1, which seemed unstoppable, but the opponent divided the troops: four camps, east, south, west and north, with four points of troops.

The maximum force of a single battalion is more than 40,000, and the ratio of the force of the Xuanhu Guard Army is about four to one.

Then he built a long encirclement and dug a trench, thinking that by forming the Changshan snake momentum, he could keep all the camps safe. At night, he thought of staying in the camp and waiting for help, as cowardly as a group of lambs.

Yang Su used a suspicious plan and sent a small team to harass Dongying and Nanying respectively. Only hundreds of people were used, which made the other party unable to defend.

So the reinforcements on the southern side of Xizhai were cut off.

More than a hundred more people were sent to take scarecrows as suspicious soldiers, and they also stopped the reinforcements of the Northern Camp, leaving only one of the Western Camp alone. Some of the defenders were made to earn the camp by him. So, what's the use of a large number of people?

I can defeat you group of trash with two thousand surrenders!!

As footsteps sounded, Yang Su turned his head and saw a team of soldiers coming towards this side. He was the first to press the knife forward. The flames reflected on his face, and the light flashed and dark.

"King." Yang Su stood up and saluted. King Yuwen of Xiyang came close and stood up. Looking at the fires around him and the ground was messy. He nodded with satisfaction: "Envoy Yang, this battle was fought well."

"The king has been too proud, and it is a matter of duty to kill the enemy for the country."

Yuwen Wen didn't say anything, looking at the lively Nanying in the distance to the south, and then looking at the Beiying in the north, and suddenly sneered: "What is Changshan snake? I thought it was a big python, but it turned out to be a grass flower snake."

"The snake in Changshan has the head and tail that is aligned with each other, but they are suspicious, so it is easy to take advantage of it..." Yang Su said this and suddenly lowered his voice: "Master, what should I do if the captives do?"

"The food in Xuanhu City is tight."

"The official understands."

Yuwen Wen turned to look at Yang Su and asked with a smile: "What does Yang Envoy understand?"

"Releasing the prisoners will disrupt their morale."

"This is an enemy..."

Yang Su's one-eyed eyes shone with light under the firelight: "It's better to release people than kill people now."
