In this day and age, there is no other entertainment activity at night except hugging my wife and fluttering.
Oil is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to light oil lamps for a long time.
After dinner, the entire castle was dark and quiet except for a few houses that still had lights on.
Soon after, a few people also turned off their lights.
Wu Nian, who drove all night, finally arrived near Zhangguang Fort.
In a desolate small valley. Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng sat on the cleared land, with soldiers scattered around them.
The stars were bright enough that they didn't light a bonfire.
"General. Depending on the terrain, we can attack Zhang Guang Fort from all sides. Do we want to attack immediately? Or should we rest for a while? There are still about two hours before dawn."
Wang Gui asked in a low voice, with an eager tone. He wanted to attack immediately.
"Let the soldiers rest. There is no need to attack at night, let alone attack from all sides. We will just go there at dawn." Wu Nian had his own idea and said with a smile.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were both stunned. Wang Gui frowned, clasped his fists and said in confusion: "General, we can obviously attack at night, why do we have to wait until dawn?"
"Although the soldiers have a hard time crossing mountains and ridges, they can regain their strength by resting for an hour, eating some rations, and drinking some water."
"Yes. Why don't you take advantage of it?" Zhang Sheng raised his head, looked at Wu Nian, nodded and said.
"A castle like Zhangguang Fort is different from the county seat controlled by the Mongolian people."
"In the county, the Mongolians control the officials. There are talented Han commanders and centurions to help them control the army. As time goes by, the army of Han households becomes more and more elite. So if we attack the county, we need Attacking."
"As for Zhang Guangbao, the Mongolian Yuan people can only send some Mongolian Yuan people over to rule in a hurry. The Mongolian Yuan people have conflicts with the local military households. I don't need a night attack. I just need to form a formation outside the city and announce my arrival. The people in the fort may rebel."
"Why a night attack?"
Wu Nian smiled and explained to the two of them. The spies gathered all the information, and Wu Nian knew the surrounding situation well.
Of course he didn't know who in Zhang Guangbao had any intention of resisting. But I know that under high pressure, there will definitely be resistance.
Moreover, he pressed heavily on the territory, and there were only two to three hundred defenders in the city. Aren’t the soldiers guarding the city heartbroken?
There is no need to attack at night, as long as the formation is established openly and take action after dawn. Then we can capture Zhang Guang Fort.
"yes."
After Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng heard this, they were sincerely convinced and handed over their hands. Then they went down and conveyed the order. Except for the security personnel, the rest immediately rested.
Daylight soon dawned.
Wu Nianjun buried the pot to make rice, and after eating and drinking. Go to Zhang Guangbao in an upright manner. It was naturally impossible for such a blatant and dignified march to go undetected.
"The army is coming!! Hurry, go back to the castle."
"The army is coming."
Wu Nian raised a banner with the word "Wu", but the common people in the military household did not know the word. Seeing the army, I didn't know whose army it was, so I ran away, shouting as I ran.
Immediately, the military households working outside the castle, including Xu Shanhai, He Jinshun and others who were repairing canals, ran into the city and closed the city gate.
Then under the command of the Mongolian and Yuan officers, the Han soldiers stood on the top of the city, bent their bows and arrows, and prepared to defend.
When Wu Nian's army appeared on the plains. No matter the Mongolian officers or the Han soldiers, they were all very nervous.
These Han soldiers belong to local armed forces. He doesn't have much fighting power, nor much courage.
Didn't even go through a war.
The Mongolian and Yuan officers were all veterans and even disabled soldiers.
"What's written on that flag?" A Mongolian man named Lida, who had lost his left hand, stretched out his only right hand, pointed at the flag with the word "Wu" standing in front, and asked a Han man next to him.
He is the person in charge of Zhang Guang Fort, and the Han next to him is Dong Yunming.
Lida also felt that something was not good. If his own army was mobilized here, he would get the news first. Since there is no news, this army is abnormal.
Beishan Fort is very close to Zhangguang Fort. Could this be Wu Nian's army?
Lida also thought it was impossible. Beishan Fort was besieged by three of their ten thousand generals, and Wu Nian's army actually appeared in Zhang Guang Fort?
Lida can only pray now that this army is not Wu Nian's army, but an army of tens of thousands of Han households.
Otherwise, Zhang Guangbao's current military strength would definitely not be able to withstand it.
I can't bear it for a day.
"It's the flag with the word "Wu"." Dong Yunming looked around and said with an ugly expression.
Lida suddenly took a breath of air, and his face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
Is it really Wu Nian’s army?
The seemingly endless Wu Nian army did not trample the farmland outside the castle. The soldiers advanced along the road and reached the city.
"Da da da."
Wu Nian, who was wearing armor and riding a black horse with a horse's length across his back, rode out from the military formation, raised his head, and said with great energy: "I am Wu Nian from Beishan Fort. I'm here. . Han brothers in the city, are you willing to follow me?"
Wu Nian's lungs were very powerful, and his words spread far, far away.
He said this in a very calm tone. But to others, it has a very special feeling.
Powerful and majestic.
Just like when the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. Suddenly a dark cloud came from a distance and blocked the sun.
It makes the timid feel suffocated.
Let those who have ghosts in their hearts tremble.
The Meng Yuan veterans felt tense in their hearts.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Wu Nian of Beishan Fort. These few words seem to have endless power.
In the past, Wu Nian claimed to be "Wu Nian, the tiger-killer in Beishan Fort, is me." Now no one calls Wu Nian the tiger-killer Wu Nian.
Those who trust Him and are willing to follow Him. He was called, "Wu Gong, the auxiliary general of the Han Dynasty in Beishan Fort."
Not calling him by his first name is a sign of respect for Wu Nian.
Of course, there are many names for people who hate Wu Nian and want to get rid of him quickly.
Rebel.
Wu Thief.
A guy who doesn't know how to appreciate people.
There are all kinds.
No matter what, when Wu Nian came here with two thousand troops. When he rode out on horseback, holding the horse's pole, he said these words with great energy but calmly.
Like a god coming.
No need for night raids.
Just be upright. There will be people in this broad fort to welcome Wu Nian in.
Wu Gong, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty in Beishan Fort.
There is such prestige.
A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move.
The time is now.
The sky of Zhang Guangbao.
It's finally light.
