In Zhiyang County, Jincheng County, the tireless Shuofeng sobbed wantonly.
It was nearly three o'clock in the morning, and the mountains and rivers were suppressed by the night, and it was impossible to see out of sight; the fine snow falling everywhere blocked the sight, so that the warning fire outside the Han army's camp only revealed a few sparks, and the visual range was less than thirty steps.
It also made Wei Ping, who personally led the army and sneaked fifty steps away, let out a sigh of relief.
Yes, after sitting at the head of the city for several months, he gave up the land and came to steal the camp.
Because it is really helpless.
A few days ago, the Han army captured the prisoners of the Allied Forces west of Hexi and came to show off their power. Jia Xu's personal guards came with coffins and coffins in tears. As a result, the morale of the troops in the city was shaken, and he knew that the situation was over.
Things are fine in Zhiyang City.
He was personally in charge, and there were fifteen thousand soldiers in the city, so nothing happened for a while.
But Siwangxia and Jincheng County will soon be destroyed.
The thousand and five soldiers guarding Siwang Gorge were Jia Xu's old troops. After knowing that Jia Xu was dead and the Han army allowed his coffin to be buried in his hometown, how could he continue to defend Siwang Gorge? Once Siwang Gorge surrendered, Jincheng County and Zhiyang General
After being cut off by the Han army, did the Hao You and Qiang Hu tribe leaders who were imprisoned in Jincheng County make any changes?
Or perhaps, after knowing the defeat of the Hexi Allied Forces, the five thousand soldiers guarding them who were not from Liangzhou might take the initiative to join forces with those powerful right-wingers, roll up their flags, and surrender together.
After all, the farther away from Xiangzi, the more desperate the battle situation will be - they are convinced that there is no way that the Guanzhong army can break through Longyou to save them!
Besieged on all sides, that's all.
Therefore, all Wei Ping could think of was to make a desperate move and give it a try.
He rewarded the soldiers with all the wealth accumulated in the city to boost their morale, and then sent the soldiers out to steal the camp. With a victory, everyone felt that the Han army was not to be feared, and believed that they could hold on until the spring and March of next year. The Guanzhong army came out of Longyou to force the Han army
The army gave up the siege of Jincheng County and turned to fight.
As for whether he could win by stealing the camp, Wei Ping didn't dare to say.
Wei Yan, who was opposite him, was a well-known veteran, and he should have a lot of common sense to guard against night attacks.
Wei Ping just hoped that after the Han army's victory over the Hexi Allied Forces, the defense was slack, giving him a chance.
The morale boosted by financial resources is only temporary.
If he does not seize the opportunity when everyone is grateful and willing to serve, in just ten days or so, the soldiers will realize that they are alone in the city and will once again fall into panic, and then there will be soldiers escaping across the city with ropes.
What's more, Sima Dubo and his like in the army may have conspired to liaise with the Han army to open the city gate and seize the city at the appointed time, or wait for an opportunity to behead him and offer him surrender, etc.
Ants are still greedy for life.
There are fifteen thousand soldiers in the city, how many of them are willing to die with him?
Therefore, let’s fight to the death.
If I lose, time will not be with me, and I will just die earlier.
But if they win a battle, they may hold on until next spring, which will cause Ni Shu to consume more national power and build up more hope for Wei to regain Longyou.
With this idea in mind, Wei Ping offered a reward twice the amount of money as an inducement. After recruiting six thousand warriors from the army, he swore to leave the city.
And it seemed that God was working fine, the light snow continued until the eyesight was exhausted and the wind covered up the sound of the marching footsteps, so that Wei Ping led the army fifty steps in front of the Han army camp without being alerted.
But then it became impossible to hide his whereabouts.
When the Han army's camp was first established, they built horizontal garrisons and dug many pits. If they wanted to rob the camp, they would have to alert the garrison soldiers.
Wei Ping looked around, and saw the dim light of the warning fire, but saw the shadowy figures of the soldiers walking back and forth on guard, which was quite strict.
Therefore, his anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Yes, he felt at ease.
Because the journey since leaving the city has been too smooth.
The success was so smooth that he felt uneasy: Wei Yan, who was against Shu, was known as a good general, but he was approached close to the camp without realizing it?
When something unusual happened, he vaguely felt that the Han army was inviting the emperor to enter the urn. But when he saw that the Han army in each small garrison was heavily guarded, he had no doubt in his mind.
Perhaps it was because Shu had just won a great victory, and Wei Yanai, the traitor, saw that our army could not move out for several months, so he became accustomed to it and thought that our army had no intention of stealing the camp.
He was so relieved in his heart.
Especially when things came to an end, he had no choice but to cut off immediately, without the possibility of turning back.
"war!"
Wei Ping, holding a hook in his right hand and a sharp blade in his left, took the lead to inspire courage and roared like thunder to kick off the battle to rob the camp.
"war!"
"war!"
The bodyguards behind him immediately rushed forward, acting as the vanguard for the general, and also becoming the vanguard who used their bodies to explore the location of the trap.
The soldiers of other shadow followers are not treated like this.
Under the orders of their respective Sima or Dubo, they bravely and fearlessly faced death and settled their destiny.
However, they all seem to be quite lucky.
There were only a few pits in front of each small garrison, and they were neither wide nor deep. Except for the more unlucky ones who lost their lives, everyone was approaching the garrison.
"Don't bother!"
"Don't bother!"
"Seize the camp! Seize the camp!"
Wei Ping, who was happy that everything went well, did not forget to urge his soldiers to cross the small garrison and attack the gate of the Han army's camp.
At this time, the Han army's camp, which had received the warning, was also shouting with drums and trumpets. It was vaguely visible that the fires in the camp were being lit one after another, and the voices of generals at all levels scolding the soldiers to stand up in formation to meet the enemy.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
As the Wei army approached the camp, some carried extra wood from the small garrison, and three or five people worked together to hit the wooden camp gate; some directly used knives and axes to chop at it, trying to destroy the ropes that tied the camp gate to the wood; there were even some
He struck with his body. The Han army standing on the defensive wall of the camp kept pouring arrows down, or pushed down the entire brazier to prevent the Wei army from destroying the camp.
But after all, the Han army did not have many soldiers on duty.
Even though they tried their best, the few casualties caused by arrow sniping and the few fire basins, they could not stop the incoming Wei army. The only thing that gave them some peace of mind was that the drums in the camp were getting more and more urgent.
, it seems that all the troops are about to gather in formation.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Wei Ping also heard the sound of the drum, and couldn't help but feel anxious, as if the sound of the drumsticks was knocking on the apex of his heart.
If he waited for the Han army to complete their formation, even if he broke into the camp, he would not be able to make any achievements.
After all, the success of stealing a camp lies in surprise.
The aim was to rush in before the enemy's formation stabilized, drive the troops back, and achieve a great victory. But if it turned into a battle between two sides in formation, his soldiers would be no match for the Han army.
Fortunately, God still favored him.
The camp gate, which had not been destroyed for a long time, suddenly fell to the ground at this moment.
"The camp is broken!"
"Oh~~~~"
Suddenly, all the Wei troops burst into cheers.
At this moment, the pitch-black night that had originally overwhelmed the mountains and rivers was awakened by various cheers and sounds of fighting. The firelight from all over the camp served as a sight, and he looked at everything curiously.
No coincidence.
Wei Yan, who was fully armored and sitting on his horse, closing his eyes and stroking his beard, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
