Chapter 41 Night Attack(1/2)
The cold rain continued for several days before stopping.
The walls were damp and the temperature dropped again.
At night, the soldiers of the government were in the camp in the city, warming themselves by a fire.
Cao Su was resting in a tent in the camp in the north of the city.
Since the breakthrough of Qi and blood three times, the whole person has become more energetic.
Three times of Qi and blood is the ceiling that ordinary warriors can reach. If you accumulate more Qi and blood to break through, you will be a person with amazing talents. The choice of most people is to break through to the realm of strength as soon as possible.
However, Cao Su's energy and blood accumulation was still very fast.
As the war became more frequent and his strength improved, he gained more and more essence.
Lying down and picking up leaks are the two great joys of life.
Anyone who can pick up leaks while lying down is a talent.
Ordinary people don't know how high Cao Su's martial arts is.
But everyone in the team was completely convinced.
In their eyes, Chief Cao was so good at martial arts that it wouldn't be a big deal to hit them ten times with one hand.
Although Cao Su didn't talk much at ordinary times, he quietly conquered his subordinates with his performance.
These are all tricks of the trade.
In this ten-person team, he is the best.
No one dares to disobey orders and prohibitions.
........
In the dark night.
Cao Su suddenly opened his eyes.
His ears moved and he seemed to hear some strange noises.
A strong wind blew outside the camp.
Cao Su immediately sat up straight.
"stand up!"
He put on his robe and armor and roared softly.
The bewildered soldiers trembled, and after hearing Cao Su's order, they all got up subconsciously.
It turned out that nothing seemed to happen.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xi was the first to follow Cao Su.
Although everyone took off their armor and went to sleep, the weather was too cold and they had to wear their robes.
Cao Su quickly put on his armor.
He did not answer the soldier's doubts.
Although the soldiers under his command were confused, they all put on their leather armors, picked up their weapons, and followed Cao Su who was leaving the tent.
Cao Su walked outside the camp.
The strong wind suddenly picked up, which was very strange.
According to veterans, there should not be strong winds in this season after heavy snowfall.
Strong winds dispersed the heavy clouds.
At this moment, a cannon sounded.
From the camp in the north of the city of Nuo Da, shouts of killing rang out.
At the same time, fires broke out in more than ten places.
Under the strong wind, flames spread across the sky, and the company camp burned down.
"It's gone!"
"Run for your life!"
All the government troops were awakened.
Cao Su's expression changed slightly and he stopped everyone who was about to put out the fire.
"Don't go, come with me!"
Some thieves broke into the camp and set fire to it, but the government army didn't even know it. The protection at night was too poor.
Now that the fire has started, there is no point in going back.
Cao Su led the people in his team and ran all the way outside the camp gate.
Outside the camp gate, many people also ran out.
But there are very few who are as well-organized as Cao Su's team.
Most of them were in a state of disarray, with their helmets and armor removed, and they were in a miserable state.
In the distance, smoke and dust billowed.
More than ten horses came roaring.
"Everyone listen to my orders and go to the wall to defend!"
The leader was actually Wang Meng. Wang Meng was very serious at the moment and shouted loudly.
He gathered his soldiers, organized personnel to put out the fire, and sent his soldiers to the wall.
The four walls of the city must be defended, and Cao Su and others ran wildly.
They arrived at the southern city wall where the pressure was greatest and where they had been before.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the southern city wall all stood up.
There are many torches on the city wall, lighting up half of the city wall.
"Woo~"
The trumpet sounded again.
In the dark night ahead, countless torches lit up.
Then, shouts of death rose into the sky.
Wanping troops swarmed in and attacked Pingcheng at night!
........
........
The Wanping Army's night attack had been planned in advance.
And there seems to be an internal response in the city.
Choose such a night when an attack is unlikely, and sneak attack the city wall.
It really caught Pingcheng off guard.
At this time, the garrison strength on the walls of Pingcheng was seriously insufficient.
Many sergeants and generals were unable to prepare their defenses in time.
Cao Su and others were among the first batch of sergeants to provide support, but their efforts were in vain.
A fire in the Chengbei Camp plunged the entire Chengbei Camp into panic.
In the panic, I don’t know how many people are still putting out the fire with dark faces.
I don’t know how much combat readiness supplies were lost.
What's worse is that because of such night attacks and fires, the morale of the entire Pingcheng Prefecture army is rapidly decreasing.
"Woo~"
The sound of horns and drums became more and more urgent.
The first batch of Wanpingjun rebels, carrying only ladders, had already climbed up the wall.
In a quick attack with simple siege equipment, it is important to send people up the city wall first.
"Qiang~"
Cao Su drew his long sword and waited for the opponent to climb up the wall in the battlements.
The first person to climb up the wall in Cao Su's garrison area was a Qi-blood warrior with a sword.
When he saw that Cao Su still dared to wait for him, he threw himself at Cao Su with a ferocious smile.
Cao Su raised his sword to block.
