Chapter 483: Fighting in the Snow, Cutting Off the Soldiers with Blood
Liu Feng, who had a plan in mind, quickly summoned his lieutenants.
After summoning his lieutenants, Liu Feng informed him of his plan to surprise the Wei army on a snowy night.
When the deputy general heard Liu Feng's plan, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Liu Feng had mentioned to him before that he would take the initiative, but he didn't feel afraid at that time.
But he didn't expect Liu Feng to be brave enough to launch a surprise attack on the Wei army on a snowy night.
"A surprise attack on a snowy night has never happened before. Our army is short of clothing. Is it okay to attack on a cold snowy night?"
Because he knew Liu Feng's temper, the deputy general's dissuasion was quite polite.
If someone with a higher status than Liu Feng were here, I'm afraid he would have to directly reprimand Liu Feng for his whims.
It's not impossible to take the initiative. There is an example of Mi Yang in the past, so you might as well give it a try.
Although there are not many examples of sneak attacks at night, some people have used them, so the deputy general can accept them.
But what the hell is launching a surprise attack on a snowy night?
Don't forget that before the Wei army could attack, a large number of our own soldiers were scared away.
Faced with the lieutenant's dissuasion, or hesitation, Liu Feng's face showed sternness.
“The difference between life and death can be determined in one fell swoop, so why not?”
Liu Feng's words revealed his firm attitude.
At the same time, Liu Feng also said: "I will personally lead the troops."
After hearing Liu Feng's words, the deputy general saw that Liu Feng had made up his mind, and Liu Feng was willing to lead the army himself, so he had no words to dissuade him.
After bowing to Liu Feng, the deputy general left quickly to gather the soldiers in the pass.
Looking at the deputy general's leaving figure, Liu Feng was a little flustered, but Liu Feng didn't take it seriously.
Could it be that he didn't know the difficulty of a sneak attack on a snowy night?
But precisely because he knew it, he wanted to do it more and more.
The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward after success.
Moreover, even his lieutenant felt that a sneak attack on a snowy night was an extremely risky move, so Cao Hong would not take precautions against it.
Miracles can often be accomplished by surprise.
Of course, taking a risk does not mean risking death. In Liu Feng's opinion, he has a possibility of success.
On the one hand, Cao Hong was careless. On the other hand, more importantly, the Han army in Jiange had a very different origin.
They are the elite soldiers who survived the Battle of Hanzhong.
Most of the Han troops who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong participated in the surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain.
Dingjun Mountain is full of tigers and leopards, and the mountains are densely forested. Being able to carve out a road in such a difficult and dangerous environment shows the high military quality of the Han army.
The Han troops in Jiange not only have high military quality, but are also extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, Liu Feng had no choice but to rely on an edict from Liu Bei to quickly stabilize the situation in Jiange.
High military quality means that the Han army in Jiange has the ability to conduct surprise attacks at night.
High loyalty means that the Han army in Jiange is able to shed blood for the great Han.
These two points are the greatest confidence in Liu Feng's heart.
When darkness gradually enveloped the entire sky, the school grounds in Jiange were brightly lit.
The Han troops, one in two thousand, gathered in the school field under the summons of the military order.
The snowflakes in the sky are falling continuously. When the white snowflakes fall within the school grounds, before they fall to the ground, they are melted by the heat emitted by the burning brazier in the school grounds, and finally turn into droplets of water.
to two thousand Han troops.
Although there are many braziers in the school grounds for keeping warm, no matter how many braziers there are, how can they stop the force of the weather?
When the snowflakes turned into water drops and fell on the two thousand Han troops, they felt a biting cold spread throughout their bodies.
The winter wind is howling in the school grounds, and the chill is approaching.
But no matter how cold it was, not one of the two thousand Han troops left the field without authorization. They were the elite left over from the Battle of Hanzhong, and they were the biggest contributors to helping Liu Bei become the King of Hanzhong.
The four words "strictly observe military discipline" have already been deeply ingrained in their bones.
The two thousand Han troops did not wait long for their general to arrive.
Liu Feng wore fine armor and stepped onto the high platform in the school ground step by step. When he climbed onto the high platform, relying on the flickering firelight in the school ground, Liu Feng could see two thousand Han troops standing below.
Although he wanted to attack the Wei army at night, Liu Feng did not want to take out all the Han troops in the Jiange. Otherwise, if he failed, the Jiange would be completely unable to defend under the Wei army's counterattack.
Besides, for a night attack, two thousand elite soldiers would be enough.
After Liu Feng stood still, the eyes of the two thousand Han troops were all focused on him.
Being stared at by two thousand pairs of doubtful and fiery eyes, Liu Feng did not panic at all. On the contrary, there was still a feeling of excitement rising in his heart.
He has not experienced this feeling and this scene for a long time!
It’s been such a long time coming.
While enjoying himself, Liu Feng did not forget the serious business of the night.
Those who share the same desire will win. A surprise attack on the Wei army on a snowy night is dangerous. Since it is dangerous, we cannot hide the truth from our subordinates beforehand.
Otherwise, if the Han army was not mentally prepared and their morale collapsed after learning the truth after leaving the border, that would be the most dangerous thing.
After a moment, Liu Feng's strong voice began to resound in the school grounds:
"Tonight I will lead you to make a surprise attack on the Wei army's camp."
Without any foreshadowing, Liu Feng directly told his plan.
No matter how powerful Liu Feng's voice was, it was impossible for him to spread throughout the entire school at once, but naturally there were messengers who carried his words into the ears of every soldier.
After hearing that Liu Feng was taking them on such a dangerous mission tonight, the two thousand Han troops all changed their colors.
The wind and snow in the sky seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, so big that even the flames in the school grounds had no time to melt the snowflakes.
More and more snowflakes fell on the two thousand Han troops, making the two thousand silent Han troops look like lifeless snowmen.
There were no roars of cheers or shouts of fear of death. At this moment, there was only deathly silence in the school grounds.
But Liu Feng ignored the silence. He just said loudly again: "Behind us is Chengdu. If we don't dampen the vigor of the Wei army tonight, Jiange will definitely not be able to defend it.
Those who do not want to go tonight can go out on their own."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Feng only briefly described the reason why he sent troops tonight, and he also gave the two thousand Han troops a chance to choose on their own.
Liu Feng knew that putting one's life on the line and living later could not be forced or deceived.
When Liu Feng's words spread to the ears of the two thousand Han troops, time passed by minute by second, but not one of the two thousand Han troops left the school grounds.
The two thousand Han troops were not fools. Liu Feng made his words so clear. Of course they knew what they were going to face next.
But they still chose to accompany Liu Feng on this journey.
Why?
Because they are the most loyal group of Han troops to Liu Bei among the entire Han Dynasty.
Because in Chengdu behind them lives the most beloved Majesty in their lives!
Tonight's surprise attack on the Wei army's camp is very dangerous. But compared to crossing Dingjun Mountain where poisonous insects and beasts were infested, which one of the two is more dangerous?
Some things are not so scary once they have been experienced.
Many people would think that the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty is Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang, a group of virtuous generals who are world-famous, but this is not entirely true.
One of the cornerstones of the Han Dynasty is represented by these two thousand Han troops, the elite soldiers who followed Liu Bei and were completely loyal to Liu Bei.
Why in history, after Ji Han lost Jingzhou, many people, including Zhuge Liang, suggested that Liu Bei should attack Cao Pi first? Could it be that Ji Han, who lost Jingzhou at that time, still had the ability?
Of course there is, because even if Jingzhou is lost, Liu Bei's basic base for raising troops and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are still there.
The greatest damage caused to Ji Han by the battle of Yiling was that the tens of thousands of elite soldiers were almost wiped out in that battle, which directly shattered one of the foundations that supported Ji Han's rule.
That's why later generations of scholars spoke out. After the First World War in Yiling, Ji Han basically lost the possibility of unifying the world.
It is a pity that most of the later generations regretted the many new generation generals who died in the battle of Yiling, but forgot the tens of thousands of elite soldiers that Zhuge Liang deplored the most.
But due to Mi Yang's existence in this world, the Battle of Yiling did not happen. This means that tens of thousands of elite warriors still exist, which gives Ji Han unlimited possibilities.
When people survive and lose land, both people and land survive. The people here refer not only to the common people in a broad sense, but also to the elite living forces.
Seeing that not one of the two thousand Han troops had left, Liu Feng's body burst out with endless heroic spirit.
"Set off!"
When a high-pitched order rang in the ears of the two thousand Han troops, the two thousand Han troops, under the command of their respective generals, raised their weapons one after another and stepped towards a direction outside the school grounds.
In that direction, there were tens of thousands of Wei troops.
...
The two thousand Han soldiers had a rank, which allowed them to walk out of the sword pavilion almost silently under the cover of darkness and head towards the Wei army's camp.
Cao Hong is not Xu Huang who marches straight in. He cannot directly set up his camp very close to Jiange.
There is a distance of several miles between Jiange and the Wei army camp.
Normally, this distance of several miles would not be difficult for an elite army to cross.
But the scene is different tonight.
The heavy snowfall in recent days has accumulated thick snowdrifts on the ground.
When the Han soldiers stepped into the snowdrift under their feet, their feet were halfway submerged in an instant.
This not only made the Han army's march very slow, but also put their bodies to the test of the cold.
In addition, the wind and snow in the sky were increasing, which greatly affected the sight of the two thousand Han troops.
The howling cold wind even blew the flags in the hands of the Han army.
After Liu Feng noticed this, he continued to encourage the Han army and ordered all the generals' flags to be abandoned.
Next, the whole army just needs to regard him as a military flag and follow him to kill.
Liu Feng's personal encouragement was effective. Ordinary soldiers did not understand how complicated the relationship between Liu Feng and Liu Bei was. They only knew that Liu Feng was Liu Bei's son.
Under the influence of this status, Liu Feng's pioneering effect was very great.
If His Majesty's son is like this, what reason do they have for not dying?
Encouraged by Liu Feng, the two thousand Han troops held a breath of anger in their hearts, which allowed them to march smoothly to a high slope outside the Wei army's camp.
After Liu Feng led his army to Gaopo, he did not immediately order the two thousand Han troops to attack.
He first climbed up the high slope alone and looked down at the scene in the Wei army's camp.
In order to keep warm, the wealthy Wei army lit many torches late at night, which allowed Liu Feng to observe many situations in the Wei army camp.
Under Liu Feng's observation, he found that many of the Wei army's camps were still in an unbuilt state, and many Wei soldiers were basically gathered in a heap in order to keep warm.
Even if he read it correctly, the Wei troops gathered in a crowd were still drinking and talking.
After realizing this, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Overjoyed, Liu Feng came up with another plan before launching the attack.
After he came down from the high slope and returned to the Han army's formation, he first got some blood:
"The thieves were unprepared and were rewarded with the title of Marquis today!"
Then he issued a puzzling order:
"All soldiers should take off their helmets and armor, abandon their long soldiers, and only hold short soldiers."
When Liu Feng's order spread throughout the army, the two thousand Han troops were shocked.
How can one take off one's own equipment before going into battle? Besides, in such a cold weather, wouldn't it become even colder after taking off the armor?
But since two thousand Han troops have followed Liu Feng here, no matter how confused they are, they can only obey Liu Feng's orders at this time.
Soon after, two thousand Han troops completed Liu Feng's orders.
Seeing that the two thousand Han troops did what he said, Liu Feng gave the order to the two thousand Han troops to attack.
After the order was issued, Liu Feng rushed towards the Wei army's camp first.
Seeing Liu Feng's bravery, the morale of the two thousand Han troops was greatly boosted. They followed Liu Feng closely with short soldiers and headed towards the Wei army camp.
The two thousand Han troops were very fast. They quickly crossed the high slope and appeared outside the Wei army's camp.
When the attack was launched, the coins in his mouth had already been spit out by the Han army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the time when you need your own side’s shouts of killing to inspire people.
The shouts of killing from the two thousand Han troops quickly attracted the attention of the Wei troops in the camp. Many drunken Wei generals looked in the direction where the shouts of killing came from.
Then they saw a scene they would never forget in their lives.
Thousands of enemy troops launched a surprise attack on them in the middle of the night.
After seeing this, the Wei generals did not panic, but laughed together.
In the eyes of those Wei generals, what they saw was thousands of miscellaneous troops rushing toward them with tens of thousands of troops. Under the influence of drunkenness, how could they not see such a funny scene?
Make them laugh.
Looking at the costumes of the thousands of enemy troops, they couldn't possibly be the enemy's main force. They were probably just cannon fodder sent by the enemy.
What's the point of having more cannon fodder without any combat effectiveness? Besides, the enemy only sent a few thousand cannon fodder.
With this mentality, many Wei generals were not prepared at all for the attack of two thousand Han troops.
Of course, the generals of the Wei army did not take precautions. They thought of letting thousands of cannon fodder troops come in and eat them in one bite, so that they could take their heads and collect the reward from Cao Hong.
What if they defend too quickly and scare away this group of cannon fodder?
Under the paralysis of the Wei army, the two thousand Han troops led by Liu Feng rushed into the Wei army's camp with almost no obstruction.
Only at this moment did some Wei troops attack what they regarded as the enemy's cannon fodder troops.
But when the two armies fought for the first time, the Wei army that was the first to fight was instantly killed by two thousand Han troops.
There were even many Wei soldiers who were cut in half by the sharp blades in the hands of the Han soldiers and became broken soldiers!
At this moment, those Wei generals who had been laughing at them just now reacted with horror on their faces:
These thousands of enemy troops are all rare and elite troops!
It's a pity that they reacted too late.
One side is in an irregular formation and both are drunk, and the other side is determined to die and has a high fighting spirit. What will happen if the two armies collide is basically doomed.
As the two thousand Han troops continued to advance, countless blood blossomed in the snowflakes, and the screams of many Wei troops instantly echoed through the sky in the quiet snowy night.
