On Zhulu Ridge at midnight, all the fog has dispersed, and the water-like starlight shines down, making the mountains and fields gradually come alive. Chong'er, who had been holding it in for days, screamed at the top of his lungs, as if to celebrate the arrival of a new life, and the whole Zhulu Ridge was filled with joy.
Suddenly, the dull sound of horse hooves disrupted the ensemble of insects, scattered the beautiful starlight, and shattered the night wind that had not been seen for a long time. .
The Northern and Southern armies took advantage of the coolness of the night and launched a sudden attack when the fog had just dispersed. In order to prepare for the sudden attack, many people had already entered Jishuitai in advance, or walked along the ridges on both sides in the mist.
Along the way, you can see some scattered corpses on the road. Many of them have no injuries on their bodies, their eyes are wide open, and they are looking at the world. The fear and despair at the last moment before death were so clearly left in Wushen's eyes.
Not everyone can survive being lost in the thick fog and unable to see the way out. This kind of constant fear is enough to swallow up the life of a strong man bit by bit.
The Southern Army went straight to the Western Camp of the Allied Forces, where the Central Army of the Allied Forces was located, so more troops naturally gathered.
According to the plan, the Southern Army was going to use Jin's army to use their own methods again. The Ling Guards would tear a hole in the generous enemy camp, and finally other soldiers would file in.
However, it took a certain amount of time for Jin's army to activate the secret technique. Ji Jing specially deployed a layer of cavalry in front of them to block possible coalition raids.
When he arrived at the camp, Ji Jing couldn't help but take a breath of air. After a few days, the camp suddenly became much larger, almost equivalent to a small city. It can be vaguely seen that there are small camps within the big camp, and the roads between them are winding and winding, like a huge maze.
The last time I sneak attacked Barrier Breaker, the opponent's camp was definitely not that big. Looking at the newly excavated traces on the ground, Ji Jing suddenly understood that while the fog was still lingering, the coalition forces sent people into the fog to further expand their camp.
No wonder the Rebel Army didn't report this information, they couldn't see their opponent's actions at all.
"There is something wrong with Zhenfu." Ji Ye rode on his horse and looked at the military camp in the distance crouching like wild beasts.
"Young Master, the enemy camp has become much larger. As a result, the number of people the enemy can kill is not as good as expected. It seems that these thieves must have learned the lesson from last time and deliberately expanded the camp to guard it like this. The people are much sparser." Ji Jing pointed to the camp opposite where fires were constantly lighting up, and explained sideways.
Ji Ye straightened up from his horse and glanced around. The camp opposite was dotted with stars, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. If the opponent arranges it like this, Jin Jun's lethality will indeed be much smaller.
"Get ready to attack the stronghold." Ji Ye said calmly, "The Northern Army has set out to attack the gap between the east and west strongholds. If we don't move, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides."
"Young Master, you think the Ba family will do whatever it takes." Ji Jing was a little worried.
"Wu Gen talked to him. If Bahong goes back on his word, then he won't want to stay among the thieves. Believe it or not, everyone will know tomorrow that Bahong accepted the reward from my Ji family." Ji Ye smiled slightly and pulled out his hand. He took off his sword and said, "The matter has come to this, there is no need to worry about the governor. The battle is originally made by the swords and spears of the soldiers. Over-reliance on the Jin army and the mausoleum guards has lost the foundation. They are just means and are truly reliable. These are more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers."
Ji Jing was startled, and couldn't help but feel a little feverish on his face. From the very beginning, he had great hopes for Jin Jun in his heart. He did have the idea of dependence on him, but he didn't want to think that a small arrangement would greatly reduce Jin Jun's power. , so that it gave rise to a sense of decadence. As a governor who leads troops all year round, I don't see things as clearly as the young master next to me.
"Young Master is right, let's see how our sons defeat the enemy." Ji Jing raised his hand on the horse and picked up his big ax, "Charge."
The horse wrapped in soft armor began to run, gradually getting faster and faster, heading straight towards the military camp where the fire was getting thicker. The coalition forces also discovered the movements of the Southern Army and were quickly deploying troops.
"Kill." The first group of cavalry rushed up, throwing arrows while rushing towards the allied camp.
Boom, boom, boom, followed by bursts of dull noises. When approaching the opponent's camp, the cavalry in the front row fell down one after another. It turned out that there were holes dug in front of these camps.
A deep ditch several feet wide was covered with sand, and there was no clue to it in the darkness.
There were many sharp wooden sticks and iron thorns inserted in the ditch. Many cavalry fell into the ditch and were stabbed to death on the spot. The charging formation was in chaos for a while.
"Go to the trench bridge and take turns throwing sandbags." Ji Jing roared, but he was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he listened to Wu Gen's advice and demolished part of his camp in advance, built trench bridges, ladders and other siege equipment, and each soldier had They all carried a sandbag to prevent the coalition forces in front of Huili City from being attacked by fire. At the same time, if they encountered any traps, trenches or the like, they could throw the sandbag in and quickly fill in a passage. .
In the military camp, following a burst of orders, countless arrows began to be thrown outward to block the Confederate army's attack.
The soldiers of the Southern Army held up their shields and faced the rain of arrows from the opposite side. They quickly ran to the trench and threw the sandbags they were carrying into it.
At the same time, more than thirty tall vehicles were slowly pushed out. The vehicles were covered with iron plates and cowhide. In front of the vehicles were two folded iron ladders. They were pushed by the soldiers and slowly moved toward the trench.
Seeing this, the coalition forces on the opposite side quickly put on rockets. Countless flames passed through the night sky and fell near the trench bridges. However, these trench bridges were mostly covered with sandbags, and the rockets would be extinguished quickly if they fell on them.
Finally, after seven trench carts were damaged, the rest were pushed to the edge of the trench. The soldiers in the cart used iron chains to pull up the ladder in front of the cart and slowly lowered it to the trench, forming a simple iron bridge. .
Attracted by the fighting here, the guards in the coalition army's stronghold flocked over to support the soldiers guarding here. According to the orders of the Central Army of the Allied Forces, the people in the military camp must be arranged separately and not be too concentrated together to prevent being attacked by the opponent's strange tactics.
But in the night there was only the sound of killing here. Out of instinct, these soldiers came to help one after another, so that there were several layers of people densely packed behind the village wall.
In the flickering night, a warrior more than a hundred feet tall appeared above the Confederate army, standing like a mountain in front of the allied camp.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by this object. The coalition forces hiding behind the wall stared at this monster in astonishment. Although they had heard that the Confederate Army had this method, most of the people who had seen it had died on the water table, so this was the first time for many people here to see such a horrific sight.
The giant's sword slashed forward, and the camp in front of him suddenly became quiet.
When the Southern Army rushed towards the coalition camp, Wu Gen and the Northern Army had also circled to the north of the coalition camp. The task of the Northern Army this time was to sever the connection between the east and west camp of the coalition forces, block the support of the east camp, and at the same time attack the west camp from the flank.
The march route of the Northern Army was as if someone had thrown an uppercut and hit the Union Army hard in the ribs.
Soon Wu Gen saw the outline of the East and West Camps. The further he walked, the harder Wu Gen's heart beat. According to the arrangement of the coalition forces, most of Bahong's troops are located in the East Camp. During this Northern Army attack, Wu Gen has managed to notify Bahong and asked him to coordinate the dispatch of troops. While destroying the other troops of the Dongcamp coalition, Wu Gen They attacked the coalition center together.
There were only five hundred steps away from the East Camp, but there was still no movement in the camp. Wu Gen's heart gradually sank. Could it be that Ba Hong regretted it? If so, he would have to retreat now to avoid being ambushed.
Baoxiang rushed over. After these days of rest, the injuries he suffered in Huali City healed a lot. During this expedition, Wu Gen originally wanted him to stay behind, but Baoxiang refused. Zu Yuantong and Ji Dai had to stay in the camp to prevent enemies from coming from the west.
As for the reserve team Ji Ye mentioned, Wu Gen didn't put it in the camp at all. Shui Congyue was his reserve team. At this time, he had already gone around to the east of Dongda Camp, preparing to lead people to rush in if there was chaos in the camp. , after tying down the camp, monitor the response of the coalition forces on the spot, and support Wu Gen in a timely manner.
Since the battle with the coalition forces, Shui Congyue has not stopped. The lone army is running around, either intercepting food routes or attacking enemy camps, which has never made Wu Gen worry.
To be honest, his team is the most dangerous. With no backup or supplies, everything has to be taken from the opponent. Only under the leadership of Shui Congyue could Wu Gen dare to let these thousands of people be separated from the main force for a long time and take on the task of the fire brigade.
"Wu Gen, Dong Daying
There is no reaction there, please stop, I will take people to take a look first, and let the other brothers wait, so as not to offend the other party. Baoxiang shouted at Wu Gen beside him.
Looking at the black soldiers of the North Army behind him, Wu Gen glanced bitterly in the direction of the camp, "Okay, be careful. Once you find something wrong, withdraw immediately. If Bahong dares to play tricks on me, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life." this decision."
Wu Gen's horse speed gradually slowed down, and Baoxiang led hundreds of people straight to the direction of the East Camp. There were only scattered torches in the opposite camp. It seemed that most of the defenders had not gotten up.
At this moment, there were killing sounds from the west, and countless torches were swimming in the west camp. Wu Gen knew that there was already a fight at Ji Ye's place.
Cold sweat oozed from Wu Gen's forehead. This kind of deployment of the Northern and Southern armies must be launched at the same time, making it difficult for the enemy to look at the enemy. Now that the enemy's situation on his side is unclear, how can he not be anxious?
Suddenly, there was a cry of killing in the East Camp, and the camp was filled with people. Countless torches lit up, and they rushed towards the scattered torches that appeared first.
Wu Gen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bahong did not break his promise. He still took action and attacked other soldiers of the coalition army in the same camp.
Farther to the east, the rumble of hoofbeats came, but it was Shui Congyue who discovered the commotion in the camp. Knowing that the Ba family had raised troops, he led his people to rush to the East Camp, preparing to eliminate the resistance forces in the camp in one fell swoop and control them at the same time. Live in the east camp and form a pincer formation to attack the coalition forces from east to west.
After a stick of incense, Baoxiang hurried back, followed by Bahong, Ba Yueze, and thousands of people from the Ba family.
"Wu Zhenfu, according to the agreement, I have defeated the thieves in Dongda camp, and the rest is up to your troops to clean up the mess." Bahong saw Wu Gen and shouted loudly from a distance.
"Very good. Young Master Ba understands the righteousness well and has accomplished such a great achievement. I will definitely report it to the Second Young Master. When this battle is over, I will discuss the merits and reward him." Wu Gen approached Ba Hong cautiously. He was not afraid. , but Naba Yueze can't beat him. If the other party catches him repeatedly, it will be a big joke.
"I have contacted Young Master Murong, but she seems to have something hidden and is unwilling to send troops here." Ba Hong secretly informed Murong Yuqiang.
"Ignore her, we will quickly unite our forces, attack the bandits' camp, and coordinate the Second Young Master's offensive." Wu Gen knew that Murong Yuqiang was waiting for reinforcements from her family, so he would not come here without authorization.
The two groups of men and horses turned around and were about to rush towards the west camp. In the night sky in the distance, they saw a giant swinging his sword towards the coalition camp.
