Chapter 2186 Night Attack on Wuguan (1)
There were many figures sitting in Mu Yunduankang's tent, Zhaoping ordered Baili Shen, Huangdu Silver Wolf Banner coach Soren, Huangdu Silver Bear Banner coach Wushihada and a group of powerful generals.
Although the current commander of the Yan army is Shen Tu Longfu, Shen Tu Longfu is in charge of the overall situation, and the siege before Wuguan is still specifically responsible for Mu Yun Duankang.
All he could command was the people in the tent. As for the black-bottomed Silver Tiger Banner and Jin Langwei, he really wasn't qualified to command.
These generals had just retreated from the siege, and most of them looked at the prince with confusion.
Mu Yunwu, a general of the infantry who was born in the royal family, asked in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, the siege of the city is progressing quite smoothly today. More than 200 people from the Dead Soldiers' camp have climbed to the top of the city to consolidate their positions. Why did they suddenly order the withdrawal of troops?"
Mu Yunwu should be the highest-level general who commanded the siege battle from the front. Today he thought he could take a try, but when the situation was good, the sound of gold came.
"Yes, if you work harder, you will likely be able to break the city."
“That’s right ~”
A whispering sound rang out in the tent. Everyone was obviously confused about Mu Yunduankang's military order, but due to the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they did not dare to question too much.
Mu Yunduankang did not answer everyone's doubts, but turned his head to look at Zhaopingling sitting beside him.
"Haha, please be careful, please listen to me."
Baili Shen smiled and said lightly:
"I believe everyone knows the bravery of the Liang army. During the day, it seems that there is a chance to break the city, but in fact, I don't know how many lives it will take to capture the Wu Pass. If the Death Soldier Camp is killed, it will be useless.
Don’t forget that climbing to the city is not the most critical. It is possible to break the city by blocking the Liang army’s counterattack.
It would be better to monument to withdraw the troops first, save the troops, and let the Liang army relax their guard, and then tonight..."
A wicked smile appeared on Baili Shen's lips.
Mu Yunwu instantly understood:
"What sir means is we are going to attack Wuguan at night today?"
Everyone stared at Baili Shen with big eyes. This idea was extremely bold.
“That’s right!”
Baili Shen said calmly: "Midnight battles have actually been the specialty of the Liang army. After siege for so long, we rarely attack the Wuguan wall at night.
This time, the Liang army was defeated and the vitality was severely damaged. The infantry guarding the city was exhausted. Our dead soldiers camp became more and more brave. Why not attack Wuguan at night?
The way to use troops is to complement each other with both right and strange things. Since it is difficult to break the city on the front, night attacks are a top choice.
What do you think, are you?”
The generals looked at me and I looked at you, both eager to try but also hesitated.
Indeed, the Liang army fought much better in the close combat and night battles. The Yan army suffered a lot of losses in this regard, so many generals were instinctively afraid of night battles, and they were also siege battles.
But if you don’t seize this opportunity now, it will be not easy to break through Wu Pass in the future~
The tent was quiet, and everyone was thinking about the gains and losses.
Mu Yunduankang said coldly:
"They are all grassland men with their hands. Do you dare to make a noise?
Fear of death, I went back to the grassland to herd sheep!”
Mu Yunduankang knew that most of the generals in the army were not afraid of fighting with the Liang army in the field, but were afraid of siege. Because after several years of attack, so many people died, they could not be defeated.
The siege lieutenant who was in front of the city was the most injured. Basically, a group of people would die in a month, and there was almost no hope of breaking the city.
To put it bluntly, there is a sense of fear of war in the army.
"Fight!" Mu Yunwu slapped the table heavily: "I don't believe that the Liang army was attacked by iron. After attacking this day, I still have the strength to compete with us!
My prairie, even if I die, I should die on the top of Wuguan City, but I die on the pasture of the grassland!”
"Yes, Liang Jun can fight, we are not cowards either!" Sauron said viciously:
"Beat them all!"
Sauron was defeated by the Daliang Dragon Cavalry before, with a lot of fire, and wished he could lead his troops to attack the city.
Mu Yunduankang's words aroused the generals' anger, and they all angrily opened their eyes and vowed to compete with the Liang army.
"Okay!" Baili Shen said in a deep voice: "Shentu and Nalan tribes will select some elite troops to add three people to the Dead Soldiers' Battalion. Which general is willing to lead a team to attack Wuguan?"
Since the Dead Soldiers Battalion is to act as the main force in the siege, we must clench this fist. In addition to replenishing our troops, we must also have a reliable general to lead the troops.
"I'm willing to go!"
Mu Yunwu held his fists and sniffed.
As the former commander of the siege army, Mu Yunwu stood up unshirkable.
"I am worthy of being my royal family, the general is mighty!" Mu Yunduan Kanglang laughed and said, "If a general leads his troops personally, we will win this battle!"
Although Mu Yunwu is a sideline, he is still a general of the royal family. He personally led his troops to the city, which will surely boost the morale of the soldiers of the entire army, and it can be considered a sacrifice.
Baili Shen continued to arrange military affairs:
"The Dead Soldiers Camp first moved, and then Shentu and Nalan tribes prepared three elite troops to follow them and climb the city. The infantrymen of each tribe were the third batch of siege troops.
After the Death Soldiers Camp entered the city, the fire was used as a sign. If the fire in the city was too big, the entire army must suppress it!
Soren and Ushhada, please ask the two generals to lead the main force of the cavalry to form a formation outside the city. As long as the city gate is broken, they will cover it and enter the city."
"promise!"
The generals whose names were called were shouted in a deep voice, full of murderous intent.
Mu Yunduankang stood up and shouted:
"If this battle is won, the prince will definitely express his great achievements in front of his father. He will rise to prominence in the future and be at his fingertips of glory and wealth!"
In addition to coercion, Mu Yunduankang also has to use his official position to inspire these generals, and no one will work for you in vain.
"Thank you, Prince!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "I will fight to the death!"
"Each person returns to the camp and prepare for action!"
"promise!"
...
The night was pitch black, and the city of Wuguan, which had experienced a bloody battle during the day, was silent without any noise.
Sparse torches shone on the top of the city, and the patrol soldiers guarding the city came and went, no different from usual.
Every once in a while, a round of rockets will be shot outside the city for lighting to prevent the Yan army from attacking. This is the custom of the Liang army.
"Rockets are ready, let it go!"
"Swoosh swish swish!"
A ball of light rose into the air and shot towards the quiet night outside the city, adding a brightness to the night, and then the fire extinguished little by little under the blowing of the cold wind.
As soon as the firelight was extinguished, countless black shadows appeared, crawling forward carefully against the ground, silently.
The defenders on the top of the city did not realize that so many people were approaching the city wall little by little.
The Yan army was very smart. The soldiers of the Death Soldiers were covered with blood-stained armor. The Rockets and they lay on the ground motionless, disguising themselves as corpses.
There were originally corpses left when siegeing the city, so they lay inside, hiding the world, and at first glance they really couldn't see anything strange.
Some unlucky soldiers happened to be shot by rockets, and the flames rose little by little on their armor.
Chapter completed!
