However, this triggered a quarrel among the various units of the Wei army, and they all raised fire to explore the truth. The people and horses were in a great chaos.
When they returned from the robbed camp, all the camps in Soochow were making great propaganda, and everyone was shouting "Long Live the Mountain". Their morale was so high that no soldier from Jiangdong felt that the Wei army was several times more formidable.
It is a feat that will leave its name in history.
It is also a helpless move when the battle situation is at a disadvantage.
After all, the consciousness of being wrapped in horse leather does not mean that you are willing to risk your life to burn a few layers of antlers.
Another reason why Guan Xing is not worried is that the right time and place are on Wei Yan's side.
At the right time, naturally the Wei army came from afar. The men and horses were exhausted and the stronghold was not yet stable.
The absolute superiority in military strength will also give them the inertial thought that "the Han army will not come out to seek death."
The geographical advantage is that Zuli City now only has one city gate and is close to the water.
When the Zuli River, which flows from south to north, winds its way to Zuli City, its tributary Guanchuan River has already flowed in, and the water has surged. The loud sound of the water can also cover up the sounds of Wei Yan and others; a larger river beach has been washed out.
There are also dense reeds growing there, which can hide the traces of Wei Yan and others.
It happened that Xia Houru was in the south of the city, Guo Huai was in the east of the city, and there were very few Wei troops in the north of the city.
That's because the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, making it more difficult for the Wei army to attack the north of the city.
It's the second watch of the night.
Wei Yan led two hundred troops and secretly hung ropes down the city wall. No one held up the fire but held coins in their mouths and escaped into the reeds.
Sneaking to two miles outside the northern camp of the Wei army, I witnessed the Wei army deploying three sets of deer antlers and a continuous line of warning fires, none of which was extinguished. Three teams of night watchmen took turns walking around on guard, leaving little time for the deer to rush in.
Seeing this, the governor of his tribe advised Wei Yan to lead his tribe to retreat as there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.
But Wei Yan didn't allow it.
Because it was still early in the night and the Wei army was not tired, they hid and waited.
At the third watch of the night, although the Han soldiers were all crying from the cold, no one made a commotion, but the Wei army was as tightly guarded as ever.
Wei Yan was angry.
He was worried that if the army returned without gains, the morale of the soldiers in the city would be difficult to boost, so he continued to lead the army and waded along the river for nearly ten miles, detouring to the north camp of the Wei army.
On the way, a soldier accidentally stepped on a river stone, slipped into the deep water, and was swept away by the water.
However, the soldier fell into the water and disappeared without a trace, and remained silent all the time, for fear that his screams would cause Wei to wake up!
Come, it's the fourth watch of the night.
The sky was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish my fingers.
The defense at the rear of the Wei army's camp was lax, with no watchtowers, few deer villages, and few fire warnings.
When the Han army saw it, they were all overjoyed, so they broke away from Luzhai and entered.
When encountering an enemy, cut them to pieces; when encountering horses, stab them in the buttocks to drive them away; when encountering military tents, burn them.
For a time, the whole northern camp of the Wei army was in an uproar.
The Wei army was unprepared and was sleepy due to the long journey, so it was suddenly attacked. Because it was difficult to tell the true situation at night and where the Han army came from, everyone was afraid and in chaos.
There are no generals in sight, and it is difficult for the soldiers to find generals, and they are in chaos.
Wei Yan took the lead, using both swords and spears, and his troops were unparalleled in their advance.
Every time he killed a person, every time he broke through a military tent, he called out to himself, saying: "I am Wei Yan! How dare you fight, traitor!"
The people behind him are all vigorous and proud, rushing to kill for fear of being followed.
Seeing the fire spreading all over the land, and hearing the sound of thunder and martial arts, the Wei army was all frightened and frightened.
The Han army was invincible. They penetrated from the back of the camp to the front of the camp, and broke through for nearly three miles. It took more than a quarter of an hour, but no one dared to take the lead!
Get out, run back.
After entering the city, the city drums and trumpets were played, and the crowds shouted long live.
At that time, Guo Huai from the west of the city led his army to the north of the city, and Xiahou Rufang from the south of the city learned the news.
