May 19, late at night.
Genjing Masato once again stood at the west end of Beihaiguan.
The moonlight in the sky is like water, but outside the city it is dark.
The watchtower that used to be so bright in the sky now has its lights turned off.
The eyes on the tower were even more silent, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"What's going on with those watchtowers?" Genjing Masato was a little confused.
hey-hey.
Chunshan looked a little proud.
"General, ever since you made the plan to sneak out of the city, the general has been preparing here in the west of the city."
Not only did he order those watchtowers to be attacked and destroyed every day, he also made a fuss with gongs and drums on time every midnight, making it look like he was about to leave the city.
At first, the soldiers of the Yanhui Legion rushed out to challenge, but when they arrived at the city wall, they discovered that it was just a scam. After a few days, they didn't bother to pay attention anymore.
So it became like this.
Yunchui's watchtower is standard equipment and is a type of military supplies.
A skilled engineering team can build a watchtower taller than the Beihaiguan city in half an hour.
But the bottom tower is not an observation car and cannot be moved at will.
No matter how poor the skills of the Japanese pirate soldiers are, as long as they aim and fire a few more heavy crossbows and stone bullets, they can easily destroy all the watchtowers.
Although the tower can be quickly assembled if it is destroyed, the Yunchui soldiers who fell from the tower were either dead or injured.
After several days in a row, not many eyes of the Yanhui Legion were willing to climb to the watchtower to keep an eye on them. They only took a few quick glances and then hurriedly handed over their orders.
Therefore, it is normal for the watchtower outside the city to have no lights at this time.
"That's it." Genjing Masato nodded with satisfaction.
Without the watchtowers outside the city that are always watching what's going on in the city, their success rate for tonight's operation would be much higher.
Looking at the hourglass, Masato Nei ordered, "Let's still make a big fuss tonight at midnight to paralyze the enemies outside the city. In Toki, you take eight thousand people out of the city. You must conquer the blood camp behind the Yanhui Legion in one fell swoop and transfer their supplies Bring them all back."
"Yes!" Chunshan responded loudly.
"General, this is a very clever plan." The military advisor next to him complimented.
"Chou Shi is the sleepiest time for human beings. Presumably everyone in the Yanhui Legion has fallen into a deep sleep at that time. From the perspective of my subordinates, this battle will be won. Even General Chunshan does not need to take so many brothers out of the city, maybe five thousand or even three thousand People are enough.”
snort!
Chunshan snorted secretly, and his face turned a little dark.
There are more than 20,000 Yanhui troops outside the city, and Yu Ziping is not Huang Shitao, the former guard of Beihai Customs.
Although he came to attack the city, he also prepared for a long-term siege. At this time, a dense defense system was built around the legion's station.
If this attack fails and the enemy comes to their senses and organizes themselves, they may be in a dilemma.
If they hadn't been making arrangements these days to confuse the enemy, Chunshan would not have dared to take on this task.
"Come on." Genjing Masato raised his hand, interrupting the military advisor's bragging, "Eight thousand people are still leaving the city, and the other two thousand are waiting at the city gate."
He chuckled.
"Yu Ziping has brought a lot of food and supplies, and it will require a lot of manpower to move them."
Phew~
Chunshan let out a sigh of relief, "That's what the general said."
"It is said that in addition to food, Yu Ziping also brought a lot of kerosene, which was enough to fill dozens of large pits. If all the kerosene is brought back, even if there is no Ridan tribe in the north, we don't have to worry about the Yunchui people. .”
After speaking, he glared angrily towards the north.
Gorros' unsatisfied appetite often made them gnash their teeth.
"That's right," the military advisor quickly agreed, "With sufficient food and military supplies, if the Yunchui people dare to attack the city in the future, the kerosene will pour down, not to mention the people, and even the siege equipment they are proud of will be afraid. It will also turn into ashes and sink into dust..."
Time flies by quickly, and it won't be long until midnight.
Boom, boom, boom!
Dozens of huge war drums on the top of the city started beating in unison again.
The sound of drums resounded like thunder through the night sky, which was breathtaking.
Whoosh!
Heavy crossbows and countless stones flew towards the watchtower outside the city with sparks, and attacked the tower with a bang.
The watchtower is built solidly. In addition to the cowhide boards, the outside of the frame is also covered with thick mud, which is not only resistant to impact but also fireproof.
However, no matter how hard they were beaten, they could not withstand the violent bombardment from the top of the city, and soon they fell down.
"General, I didn't hear any screams. There should be no one on the tower."
"Very good." Masato Nei was even more satisfied.
He looked up and farther away.
However, after a long while, the Yanhui station five miles away was still quiet, and even the firelight did not bother to light up.
"General," Chunshan beamed with joy, "Our strategy worked. Yu Ziping didn't take it seriously at all."
"It couldn't be better." Genjing Masato smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's up to you and your brothers when you come down. I will be waiting for you to return victorious."
"Yes! I will complete the mission to the death."
When it was ugly, the dim morning star had already risen in the sky.
Chunshan looked at the hourglass and lowered it with his raised hand.
"Out of town!"
The west gate of Beihaiguan had already been evacuated. Chunshan gave an order, and the heavy city gate creaked halfway open, and countless soldiers poured out like a tide.
It's not far away for five miles, but because Yu Ziping built a huge earthen building outside the west city, the road there was divided into two halves.
"General," the guard looked at the mound as high as the city head with hatred, "should we destroy this thing?"
To prevent Yu Ziping from setting up trebuchets and heavy crossbows on top.
In the future, when they attack the city, they will not have the height advantage even if they hide in the city.
"There's no rush." Chunshan was very calm. "The main purpose of our trip is to attack the geese back to their base and rob them of their food and supplies. If there is still time when we come back, it won't be too late to collapse this mound of dirt."
Soon, the front troops arrived outside Yanhui Station, and even the gaps in the outer wooden fence could be seen clearly.
However, the place remained quiet.
Hum.
Chunshan finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach and sneered: "Go to sleep, continue to sleep well, we are here!"
at this time.
Jingle Bell……
I don't know who touched the alarm bell outside the station, and the bells rang loudly all around.
"pity!"
Chunshan was not surprised at all, he just secretly cried out that it was a pity.
Their position at this time was still a bit far away, and the bows and arrows they brought out could not reach the Yanhui Legion's camp.
But the alarm bell has sounded, and sentries will soon come out to check the situation, so Chunshan will not hesitate any longer.
He made a prompt decision, "Everyone is here, light the fire! Others get on rockets, grab torches, and attack!"
Plop, plop.
On all the roads leading to the entrance of the station, the Japanese pirate soldiers threw down the firewood in their arms or backs, and quickly piled up hundreds of piles of firewood.
Wow.
Precious fire oil was poured on.
Buzz~
In an instant, these hundreds of piles of firewood burst into flames, illuminating the entire periphery of Yanhui Station.
The archers passing by lit their arrows on fire one after another and pointed forward.
The swordsmen and spearmen directly picked up a piece of firewood as a torch, shouted "kill" and rushed towards the tent in front.
