Chapter 659
Chapter 656 : Tune the tiger away from the mountain,
The cicadas sound unknowingly, and the sound of frogs fluctuates.
The night after the first time was very cool, and the bright moonlight spread over the ground, which provided convenience for the Dianwei troops who were preparing for a surprise attack.
In this rush march, most of the infantry is the main force. Because in order to ensure concealment, sometimes it is necessary to avoid the crowds, so they must walk through the overgrown wilderness, which greatly limits the speed of the horses. Therefore, the role of the horses is to carry weapons and food. Secondly, in order to ensure speed, the infantry did not carry too many weapons. In addition to the main weapons, they were dry food and gunpowder, as well as Zhuge’s crossbow and crossbow arrows.
Han Xin estimated the time, the amount of dry food carried was controlled at a reasonable amount, which increased the marching speed to the greatest extent.
So Dianwei’s 30,000 people are also elite infantry, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the 20,000 Meng family army is annihilated, there will be war horses.
The best disguise for a sneak attack at night, Dianwei personally led, slowly approaching the Meng family army camp.
Because this is Shanyuan County, it is already in the hinterland of the Dongqi area, and further west to the Qinling Pass, so the Meng family army is very relaxed, thinking that Xia Guo’s soldiers are making chaos in the east, and they can’t get here at all. Therefore, the guard of the Meng family army was very sparse, and it was easy to be spotted by Dian Wei, and he killed all the guards with one arrow.
Later, Dianwei and others approached the camp gate.
A bonfire was lit in front of the camp, illuminating a large area. There were several deer villages in front of the camp, and the barracks were surrounded by wooden fences.
Dianwei poked his head out of the grass and watched the soldiers dozing in front of the camp leaning on the wooden fence. The camp was quiet. After a while, guards patrolled the barracks.
Looking at the time, it is already ugly. This time is when a person is the most exhausted. I believe that the Mongolian soldiers in the camp are in their dreams. What are you waiting for if you don’t attack?
Dian Wei immediately arranged to let his carefully trained members of the Tigers team start immediately.
This tiger team has a total of 100 people. It is a good player trained by Dian Wei personally. Although they are all in the second and third rank martial arts, they can cooperate with the fight and beat the fourth and fifth rank martial arts. It is no less inferior. An imprudent team trained by Han Xin himself.
Previously, Xiao Rui made a suggestion that to train the elite fighters among the fighters, Han Xin cultivated his indiscreet team, and Dian Wei was the tiger team.
I heard that Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji both have their own elite teams. Dian Wei was excited about it and wanted to compete with them.
At this moment, the hundred-man Tiger Fighting team touched forward, and immediately shot and wounded the sleeping soldier in front of the door and the secret sentry on the outpost of the battalion. The movement was very light and did not cause the patrolling soldiers in the camp to notice.
Subsequently, these soldiers moved away from the Luzhai and opened the camp door.
There were three gates in this barracks. At this time, the first one was opened. The Tigers continued to deepen, and then opened the second one, leaving only the third one.
Although there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the third gate, they seemed to be heavily guarded, but they were too careless and slack, and they were all dozing off.
The fighters of the Tiger Chasing team immediately stepped forward and shot them, but bows and arrows, if they can’t be killed in one shot, will give the opponent a chance to scream.
No, after a Meng family soldier was hit by an arrow, he was not killed on the spot. He yelled: “Enemy attack…”
With just one cry, the next arrow got his life.
But this kind of roar seemed very abrupt in front of the silent camp gate, and while shocking Dian Wei, he was already ready to charge.
One second…two seconds…
After a while, there was no response in the barracks.
It seems that Meng’s army slept very soundly, and the patrolling team had gone far, so no content of the roar was heard.
Dian Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and the Warriors of the Tiger Team immediately opened the third camp door. At this point, all three camp doors were opened.
Next, the Tiger Team soldiers rushed into the camp and began to walk around the tents one by one, and began to install gunpowder and fuse, preparing for a gunpowder feast for the Mongolian army. This time I brought so much gunpowder, and there is no need to waste it.
At the same time, Dian Wei asked the soldiers behind him to step forward, ready to attack at any time!
Time passed by. At this moment, the Meng family army who was in charge of patrolling the barracks came to the front of the camp, and suddenly found that the front of the camp was dark and the bonfire was extinguished. Everyone was surprised to inspect, only to find that the camp gate was wide open and there was no one. What about the soldiers guarding the gate?
At this time, the patrolling team realized that something was wrong, and just when they wanted to take action, the Tiger Chasing soldiers who sneaked into the camp had already lit the gunpowder bag!
A soldier carrying two gunpowder bags, one hundred people equals two hundred, can be placed next to two hundred camps, and one camp can accommodate more than ten people, which is enough to hurt two to three thousand people and directly put the most in front of the camp. The enemy forces that react first are destroyed.
The lead burns to the end, and the gunpowder bag detonates instantly!
boom…
As the first explosion sounded, there was a series of explosions from other gunpowder bags. The sound was so loud that Qin Jun in the camp was scared to sit up. There was no sleep in an instant, and he was still in a cold sweat.
But immediately, they suffered. After all, there were a lot of iron pieces in the gunpowder bag. These pieces of iron were blown up by the impact of the gunpowder and shot out. The force was fierce, and it would be inserted into Qin Jun’s body. If you shoot to the closed position, you will be killed!
Two hundred gunpowder packs were exploded in half a minute, and more than two hundred camps were blown up, causing heavy casualties. The successive explosions also awakened all the Qin army. The far away Qin army was not harmed and thought it was a thunder. .
“No! Xia Jun!” The general of this team was named Chen Kai. He was immediately aware of the enemy attack, and it was Xia Jun. He could no longer wear a coat, and his head was full of doubts, that is Xia Guobingma. How did you get here! How could it be here!
At this time, as the explosion ended, Dian Wei shouted: “Offensive!”
Immediately thereafter, the Daxia soldiers, who had been eager to try, rushed into the camp, and 30,000 soldiers rushed in one after another and began to eliminate the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers had not put on their clothes, but the Daxia soldiers stood outside the camp and shot them with crossbow arrows. They came to harvest first, and then broke in to continue harvesting.
For a moment, there was a groan in the entire barracks.
Qin army general Chen Kai rushed out of the camp and saw that the entire barracks were in chaos. Although the Meng family’s army was trained in an orderly manner, they were caught off guard this time, and they were trapped by gunpowder, which made them unable to produce effective Defense.
Chen Kai’s generals led a report: “General, it’s not good! A large number of Xia troops entered the camp, estimated to be forty to fifty thousand people! Too many enemy troops, too fierce! Our soldiers suffered heavy casualties!”
When a person is at a disadvantage, it is easy to exaggerate the strength of his opponent. In addition, Dianwei deliberately created the illusion of a large number of people in accordance with Han Xin’s request, and specially kept people outside the camp to create the illusion, the purpose of which was to attract Mengmen over for the follow-up plan.
“So many people! How did they get here!” Chen Kai said angrily: “Fuck, are the defenders of Tonglu County and Zhaodu County all stupid? They don’t even know that the enemy passed by their eyelids!”
After cursing, Chen Kai’s face changed drastically, and he shouted: “No! They are going to take Nan Liguan! Quickly send a letter to General Mengfang! Let him come to rescue, I will lead people to resist Xia Jun, it is really impossible. I will retreat to Nanli Pass and stay there.”
“Yes!” The lieutenant immediately took his orders and left.
Afterwards, Chen Kai organized troops to fight the enemy, but they lost the opportunity. When he organized two or three thousand people, Dian Wei had already taken people to the center of the barracks and saw Chen Kai.
Chen Kai deserves to be born in the Meng family army. He knows that the enemy is strong and he is weak. He has only 20,000 troops. Now those who are killed are all messed up, and it is impossible to confront. If confronted, it is a dead end.
Therefore, Chen Kai fled with someone directly to avoid being surrounded by Dian Wei’s soldiers and horses.
Han Xin had already guessed that the other party would escape, so he specifically warned Dian Wei that he must set a trap in the west.
Sure enough, Chen Kai retreated westward, trying to escape to Nanliguan.
Unfortunately, they encountered Wei Guang who was in ambush, the crossbow arrows harvested the Meng family army, and the general Chen Kai was also killed by Dian Wei who was behind.
When the sky was dark, the war ended.
The entire Meng family barracks were in a mess. This sneak attack was a big victory. Although a small part of the Meng family army escaped, it was harmless. After all, it was a sneak attack at night, and you can’t completely wipe out the enemy.
Subsequently, Dianwei ordered the people to clean the battlefield, especially the equipment and food of the Meng family army, which happened to supplement Dianwei.
At the same time, Chen Kai’s lieutenant led a dozen people to rush northward to inform the guards stationed in the middle road to release them.
More than two hundred miles away, two hours arrived.
When Meng Fang received the news, he suddenly stood up from his seat and asked in shock: “What did you say? Your military camp was attacked by Xia Guo’s soldiers and horses? There are as many as forty to fifty thousand people?”
The lieutenant knelt on one knee: “Yes, General Meng, that’s true! Xia Jun appeared like a ghost, suddenly hit us, and the other party used gunpowder. Our army suffered heavy losses. When the humble duty came, Chen The general is gathering his troops to resist. If he can’t resist, he will leave the pass to the south and evacuate!”
“Nan Liguan!”
Meng Fang’s face changed drastically.
Why Meng Yi transferred him back to Shanyuan County to guard the Three Passes of the Qinling Mountains. After receiving the military order at that time, Meng Fang couldn’t help asking his cousin: “Xia Guo’s soldiers and horses are in Dongqi County How could he cross the five counties to Qinling Pass!”
Meng Yi said: “There is nothing impossible in this world. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of accidents. Be careful.”
Meng Fang was reluctant, but he had to come back, but he never expected that Xia Jun was actually in danger and killed him.
“How was the situation in Zhouyi?” Meng Fang asked.
Other generals said: “Everything is well in Zhouyi, and there is no news of being attacked.”
Zhouyi was the general of the defending army on the North Road.
Meng Fang is not stupid, and worried about whether it was the enemy’s plan to move the tiger away from the mountain. But now that he heard that the North Road army is doing well, his worry has decreased a lot. In addition, the situation on the South Road is urgent. If Nanli Pass is really lost, then Is a bad thing.
“Immediately notify, rectify the army and prepare to start. In addition, notify Zhou Yi to retreat to the west and retreat to the Beishu Pass.” Meng Tian immediately issued the order.
Asking Zhou Yi to retreat to the North Junction will ensure the safety of the North Junction, so that he can go to Nanliguan with peace of mind.
