There are not many soldiers and horses in the city under the direct control of the General Military Mansion. For such a major matter as leaving the city to attack the camp, he alone cannot act arbitrarily and can only discuss it with the other two people.
"No." Li Kaiyang blurted out.
He was a little excited, and his voice was subconsciously loud.
Wu Zimian turned to look at him and said: "Such a good opportunity, if we miss it, we don't know how many people will be killed or injured when we defend the city from behind. If we can attack the camp and defeat the rebel army outside the city, Yulin City will be defended." .”
Liu Chun's eyes gleamed when he heard this.
After some understanding of the bandit army, it was difficult to defeat the bandit army head-on, but it was different to attack the camp at night. It was very possible to inflict heavy losses on the bandit army outside the city.
"The reason why I disagree is very simple. Even we can take advantage of their unstable footing to attack the camp. Is the leader of the bandit army a fool and doesn't know how to guard against this?" Li Kaiyang expressed his worries.
Wu Zimian did not speak, but looked at Liu Chun next to him.
Even if it is to attack the camp, the soldiers and horses sent to attack the camp mainly rely on Yulin Guards, so as long as Liu Chun agrees, Li Kaiyang can't stop it even if he doesn't want to.
"I think it's worth a try." Liu Chun chose to support Wu Zimian without hesitation.
Li Kaiyang frowned and said, "But have you ever thought about it, if the rebel army takes precautions in advance, the people we send out will be like sheep falling into a tiger's mouth."
"You don't need too many people to attack the camp. Five or six hundred people are enough. Even if you fail, the loss will not be big, but once you succeed, the benefits will be great." Wu Zimian said.
After speaking, he did not forget to take a look at Liu Chun's face.
"I agree with Mr. Wu's idea. This risk has to be taken once." Liu Chun said to Li Kaiyang.
After hearing this, Li Kaiyang knew that he was determined to attack the camp, so he said: "Since you all agree to attack the camp, it is useless for me to oppose it alone. You can just do it!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, he turned to worry about the tiger-shaped flag army outside the city.
He had decided to join the Tiger Banner. He did not want to see the Tiger Banner army defeated in Yulin City. He even thought about how to send the attack to the Tiger Banner army camp outside the city in advance.
"Then it's settled. At midnight tonight, we will send a force of 500 troops to attack the camp." With Liu Chun's support, Wu Zimian made the decision to attack the camp.
Liu Chun came up and asked, "Who will we send? Let's send these five hundred troops from Yulin Guards."
"If we attack the camp, ordinary soldiers will definitely not be able to do it. It is best to have a cavalry of 500 people. This way, even if we are discovered by the bandits, we will have a high chance of escaping back." Wu Zimian said.
Liu Chun frowned when he heard this.
Five hundred ordinary soldiers are not many, Yulin Guards can easily take them out, but if it is five hundred cavalry, the weight is different. Even if Yulin Guards wants to get these five hundred cavalry, it will take a lot of effort. Once All of them were damaged outside the city, which was enough to make him, the commander of the Yulin Guards, feel pain.
"You definitely can't afford these five hundred cavalry alone. Deputy General Li and I will each contribute one hundred, and your Yulin Guards will collect the remaining three hundred." Wu Zimian said to Liu Chun.
At this time, Li Kaiyang said from the side: "Don't count me out. I don't have many troops in the city, and I'm not optimistic about this attack. Since you have decided to attack the camp, it's up to you two to do it yourself." Out of people.”
He and Hu Ziqi were already his own people, so how could he let his people help Wu Zimian and the others deal with Hu Ziqi.
"Then let's go out to two families, and one person will make fifty more people." Wu Zimian said to Liu Chun.
As for Li Kaiyang's unwillingness to contribute, he didn't force it. Once the attack on the camp was successful and the bandits outside the city were repelled, the credit would naturally not be as much as Li Kaiyang's.
Although Liu Chunyi felt distressed at the thought of sending out 350 cavalry, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
It was already dark at Xuerqi.
However, it was still early in the night, and neither the troops in the city nor outside the city had a rest. Wu Zimian only asked people to gather the 500 cavalry he was going to send to attack the camp.
Although there are not many cavalry in Yulin City, there is no problem in gathering 500 cavalry.
Soon, the five hundred cavalry were gathered together, and there were cooks who cooked for them to have a meal, just in case they couldn't wield the knives when they attacked the camp.
The meals prepared by the cooks were filled with meat to ensure sufficient oil and water, and they could eat as much as they wanted. Several cooks stood by to add more meals to the cavalry at any time.
These five hundred cavalrymen have their own soldiers and servants, and they are not collected at night.
The selected people are all capable cavalry. As for those who can't see anything when it gets dark, they are not qualified to join this team of 500 people.
The aroma of food filled the surroundings of Zhenyuan Gate.
Many officers and soldiers guarding the city wall smelled the aroma of the food and couldn't help but squirm their Adam's apples and swallow the saliva secreted from their mouths.
Although many guards were envious of such good meals, few were envious of them.
Veterans with a little experience know that these people eat a decapitated meal. After eating this meal, these people are likely to do something that will lead to a narrow escape.
No matter how delicious the food is, it is not as important to many people as their own lives.
Wu Zimian and Liu Chun stayed on the south wall. Only Li Kaiyang left once and soon returned to Zhenyuan Gate.
It's just that Li Kaiyang's face turned very ugly when he came back.
"What time is it?" Wu Zimian asked.
The soldier on the side glanced at the burning incense not far away and replied: "It's already Haishi."
"Remind me when the time comes." Wu Zimian confessed.
"I'll take note of it, little one," the soldier responded.
As the time got closer and closer, Li Kaiyang seemed a little uneasy and walked around alone in front of a crenellation on the south city wall.
"If you want me to see it, forget it. Attacking the camp is too risky." Li Kaiyang couldn't help but persuade the other two people.
When he went back, he searched for several times but could not find Zheng Hong. Naturally, the news that the officers and soldiers in the city were preparing to leave the city to attack the Tiger Flag camp was not sent out.
At this time, he was worried that the Tiger-Character Banner army outside the city was unprepared and was successfully attacked by Wu Zimian and Liu Chun, resulting in a complete defeat for the Tiger-Character Banner army outside the city.
"Don't be afraid, even if these five hundred cavalry are sent in, they will still be sent by me and Commander Liu." Wu Zimian said to him.
Li Kaiyang said with a bad expression: "It's not a matter of who owns it. I don't want to lose these five hundred cavalry in vain. You know, we don't have many cavalry in the city. If we lose these five hundred cavalry, It’s a huge loss for us.”
"It's okay. They are all specially selected warriors in the army. Even if they fail, it is impossible for them all to join in. Some people will still be able to escape. The loss is not as big as you think." Liu Chun said at the side.
