Amid the uneasiness of countless people, night slowly fell, and the whole world was once again shrouded in darkness.
On a night when the moon and stars were sparse, a few dark clouds came from nowhere.
All the clear moonlight was blocked, and the whole world suddenly fell into endless darkness.
Bailang County is just a county town, and the height of the city wall is only three feet.
In order to be able to strictly guard against it, all the city gates have been sealed. At this time, the entire city is an isolated city.
The watch drum was beaten three times, and a thousand soldiers silently gathered again.
Everyone's faces were serious, and tonight's mission was probably a matter of life or death.
It is almost an impossible task for a thousand people to raid a camp of 50,000 people, but they must do it.
They did not carry too many weapons, and each of them carried three large oil jars on their backs.
Their goal is not to kill many enemies, but to completely destroy those siege weapons.
"Brothers, I, Zhang Hui, am here to represent the king and all the people in the city. Thank you! Please!"
It was getting late, and Zhang Hui didn't show too much pretentiousness.
After giving a deep salute to the soldiers, he didn't want to get up for a long time.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely fulfill my mission if I go here!"
Xiao Ping took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Zhang Hui, and said with a serious face.
"Be careful!"
After Zhang Hui finished speaking, he remembered that he had not considered retreating during this battle. What could he do if he was careful?
"Don't worry, sir, I'll take the first step!"
"Set off!"
Xiao Ping gave an order, and a thousand soldiers quietly climbed onto the city wall.
In the dark corners of the city wall, a large number of ropes had been prepared for them.
A thousand soldiers quietly divided into several teams and slid silently down the ropes to the bottom of the city.
The dark clouds in the sky gave them the best cover. The army pressed on the border. This was just a county town.
The Wuhuan people never thought that the Yan people would dare to go out of the city to fight. Coupled with their consecutive victories, it was now the third watch, which is the most tiring time of the day.
Even the Wuhuan soldiers who were keeping watch at night were so sleepy at this time that they did not notice the movement on the city top at all.
After Xiao Ping quietly descended from the city with his soldiers, he quietly approached the Wuhuan camp under the cover of darkness.
It was about to be used during the day. All the siege equipment was concentrated in the rear camp, and the craftsmen they captured were responsible for unified maintenance.
This gave Xiao Ping and the others great convenience, but it also added a lot of danger to them.
After all, if they want to get close to these things, it means they have to go deep into the tiger's mouth.
Although it was late at night, it was not an easy task no matter how you thought about it, so many people wanted to enter the Wuhuan camp.
Especially the location of the back camp, where there are many people who were kidnapped nearby, including men and women.
Most of the women have been used as tools for pleasure by these Wuhuan people. In order to prevent them from escaping, these Wuhuan people have deployed a large number of manpower nearby.
After groping all the way to the back camp, Xiao Ping felt a little confused looking at the guards who were still milling around.
With their small manpower, the Wuhuan people were alarmed. Let alone burning things, it was difficult for them to get in.
"No, we have to find a way!"
Xiao Ping murmured softly.
"Sir, how about I bring a hundred people to the front to feint and create chaos?"
"Then you can..."
As an old subordinate of Xiao Ping, Wang Wenliao said directly in a low voice.
Xiao Ping looked at him deeply. Once he left, there was really no return!
"Sir, you are joking, we had no intention of going back at all!"
Wang Wenliao actually had a smile on his face.
"I'm being hypocritical! Let's do it like this. You go to the front to create chaos, and we'll take advantage of the chaos from behind to attack!"
Xiao Ping took a deep breath and patted Wang Wenliao on the shoulder.
Indeed, there is no other way, they can only do this now.
As long as these siege equipment can be burned, no matter what price you pay, it is worth it!
"Take care, sir!"
After Wang Wenliao finished speaking, he led a hundred soldiers and quietly groped towards the entrance in front of the camp.
Xiao Ping, on the other hand, took the remaining men and stayed in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to move. On the top of the city, there were sporadic firelights flickering.
Although his vision was blocked by the darkness, Xiao Ping still believed that on the other side of the darkness, his family must still be waiting for news of his victory.
"kill--"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
Although there were only a hundred people, Wang Wenliao and the others fought with the momentum of thousands of troops.
The sleepy Wuhuan soldiers suddenly heard the war cry of the Han army. Before they could realize what was going on, streaks of fire were already rising into the sky.
Tents made of cowhide are inherently flammable, coupled with the refined grease carried by the Han army.
Before many people put on their clothes, the tents above their heads had already turned into torches, and the Wuhuan people's rear camp suddenly became chaotic.
"Go put out the fire!"
Most of the things in the back camp were stuffed by them. Seeing the fire rising into the sky, the Wuhuan people suddenly became anxious.
Without him, I would be really poor!
As soon as they moved, hundreds of soldiers led by Xiao Ping rushed up behind them.
The Wuhuan people's camp was already in chaos, and Xiao Ping and the others were all dressed in black for the convenience of doing things.
It wasn't until they rushed into the camp and reached the siege machines that the Wuhuan people realized that something was wrong. Why were there suddenly so many men in black?
But it was too late at this moment. Before they could come over to ask what was going on, the men in black had already picked up jars from their backs and smashed them on the siege equipment.
There were countless sparks floating in this camp. After all, there were fires everywhere, and it was not known whether they were the heroic spirits who died in the battle.
Suddenly, a small flame floated by, directly igniting the siege equipment on the ground, and the raging fire suddenly turned into a monstrous fire.
"What's going on? What's going on? What happened?"
I slept until midnight when I suddenly saw a fire bursting into the sky in the back camp, and then heard the noisy shouts of killing.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the Han people sent people to steal the camp and set fire to the rear camp. Even the siege equipment we prepared was set on fire..."
Almost all siege equipment in these days were made of logs, which were now poured with grease and set on fire so that ordinary people could get close to them.
