Under the cover of night, Lu Xuan led nine thousand people on their way quickly. Moreover, each soldier carried a bundle of hay on his back to facilitate the attack on the camp.
On a June night, the bright moon hangs high.
Even without a torch to disperse the darkness, the road can be seen clearly.
The army marched quietly.
After bypassing Yuan Shu's camp and still less than three miles away from the Changshan Granary, Lu Xuan left Tai Shici and three thousand soldiers to ambush halfway. Once the war begins, Yuan Shu arranges for people to rush to help, and Taishi Ci can immediately stop it.
If Lu Xuan's attack on the granary fails, Taishi Ci's troops can rush to help again.
Lu Xuan led the reorganized 6,000 black armored soldiers and went straight to the Changshan Granary. In a short time, the group quietly arrived outside the camp and hid in the darkness.
Lu Xuan carefully looked at the brightly lit camp. In the camp, there were soldiers specially responsible for night patrols, and there were also soldiers standing guard on the watchtowers responsible for guarding the camp.
Although the moonlight was bright, the firelight in the camp was bright, so standing in the camp and looking outside, I couldn't see clearly what was happening in the distance.
Lu Xuan used this reason to close the distance little by little, and in an instant he was about sixty steps outside the camp.
This is already the limit.
If you get any closer, you'll be exposed.
Lu Xuan hid in the dark and looked at the two watchtowers on the left and right of the camp entrance. Each of them had a soldier standing guard on them.
Looking from a distance, both people were taking a nap.
After all, the granary is located behind Yuan Shu's camp. No one would think that the granary would be raided.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tai, your archery skills are good, can you aim at the people on the archery tower?"
"able!"
Zhou Tai answered firmly.
He is skilled in bow and horse and has good archery skills.
Jiang Qin also served under Lu Xuan. He was also the chief general of the black armored soldiers. Although Lu Xuan valued him, he was still far behind Zhou Tai. Jiang Qin also knew that he was not as good as Zhou Tai, so he took the initiative to fight for the opportunity, clasping his fists and saying: "My lord, I have good archery skills in this humble position. Please shoot someone."
"Can!"
Lu Xuan nodded with a smile and ordered: "Since the two of you are responsible for shooting one on the left and the other on the right, the black-armored soldiers will also attack at the same time. Work together to break Yuan Shu's granary camp."
"As you command!"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin answered in unison.
The two of them stood still, took out their big bows, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed at the soldiers on the watchtower in the distance.
"One, two!"
"three!"
Zhou Tai counted to three, and together with Jiang Qin, he released his hands and shot arrows at the same time.
"call out!!"
Arrows are like shooting stars.
Two bows and arrows shot rapidly towards the archery tower in the night sky with a sound of breaking through the air.
"attack!"
Lu Xuan also ordered at the same time.
The two thousand black-armored soldiers responsible for the attack shouted and roared loudly and launched a fierce attack.
The moment this group of black-armored soldiers rushed out, the people on guard upstairs immediately noticed it and were ready to sound the alarm. But before the two of them could make a move, the sound of breaking through the air was approaching, and the cold light hit the two soldiers on the watchtower at the same time.
"Puch! Plop!"
The sound of a bow and arrow entering flesh was heard.
Two soldiers, one with an arrow in the throat and the other with an arrow in the head, fell on the watchtower without saying a word.
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"
At the gate of the camp, the soldiers standing guard roared loudly. Unable to issue a warning by ringing gold, they could only shout at the top of their lungs to convey the message, then return to the camp and block the gate of the camp.
Lu Xuan's black-armored soldiers rushed forward quickly. In a short time, they reached the entrance of the camp and violently slammed the door.
boom! boom! !
The gate of the camp was hit and kept shaking.
"Block it, block it for me."
In the camp, the soldiers in charge of patrols had already arrived and quickly resisted and held up the camp gate to prevent it from being knocked open.
The two sides wrestled and collided constantly.
Even if there are patrolling soldiers to resist, they are still in danger. After only fighting for a while, the person responsible for guarding the camp was named Yang Zhong, and he was a relative of Yang Hong.
Yang Zhong was surprised when he saw the camp being attacked. He guarded the granary, which was behind the main camp and was originally the simplest thing to do. Now, the granary has been attacked. This is not an easy job, but a hot potato.
Although Yang Zhong was panicked, he quickly made a calculation.
Lu Xuan's surprise attack bypassed Yuan's army in front. Once they fight, Lu Xuan will definitely be exposed, and the granary he is in is very close to Yuan Shu's camp. As long as he holds on for a while, he will definitely be able to wait for Yuan Shu's army.
What's more, he had no choice.
Once he loses his granary and returns to Yuan Shu's command, even if he has his clan brother Yang Hong, he will definitely die.
"Block it, block it immediately."
"Light a fire, go get a few people, light a few haystacks for me, light up the sky and earth, and let General Yuan know that the camp has been attacked."
Yang Zhong kept making arrangements.
All the soldiers pressed forward to resist the attack on the camp gate. At the same time, fires were already being lit in the camp, and there was a raging fire in the direction of the back camp, making the inside and outside of the camp as bright as day.
Lu Xuan saw the situation outside the camp and was surprised by the reason and calmness of the general guarding the granary.
This is a very rational person who chose the most correct arrangement. It's a pity that he will definitely break the camp today and swallow up Yuan Shu's Changshan granary.
Lu Xuan once again mobilized a large number of black-armored soldiers, carrying hay on their backs, approaching the outside of the camp, lighting a fire and throwing bundles of burning hay into the camp. As the hay burned, there was a huge fire everywhere in the camp.
The whole camp was in chaos.
Lu Xuan waited for a while, then drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang, pointed the sword forward, and said loudly: "Kill over, everyone follow me to charge and break the camp."
Lu Xuan took action personally, and all the black-armored soldiers were dispatched.
Large numbers of people attacked fiercely. Even if Yang Zhong tried his best to mobilize his troops to stop them, Yang Zhong's troops were limited. In addition, the black-armored soldiers were brave and good at fighting. Under the fierce attack of the black-armored soldiers, Yang Zhong's camp held out for less than a quarter of an hour and was completely defeated.
Zhou Tai was like a tiger coming down the mountain, extremely ferocious, he took the lead into the camp, and rushed towards Yang Zhong with a knife.
One knife, chop down.
The blade was as fast as lightning and fell on Yang Zhong's body, slicing his neck.
puff!
Yin Hong's blood spurted out, and Yang Zhong fell down in a daze. From the beginning to the end, he did not even say a word of begging for mercy and surrender.
Zhou Tai killed Yang Zhong and continued his fierce attack. Led by Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others, the black armored soldiers completely swept through the camp and crushed the defending Yuan Jun soldiers.
The situation on the battlefield was already one-sided.
Lu Xuan quickly killed the remaining soldiers of Yuan's army, because when the fire burned, the billowing flames shot up into the sky, and Yuan Shu would definitely know about it, so he had to seize the time to completely wipe out the soldiers in the camp before Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrived. Only then can he and Taishi Ci join forces to attack Yuan Shu's reinforcements.
Therefore, Lu Xuan wanted to grab time.
During Lu Xuan's fierce attack, the fire was burning and was first discovered by Xu Shao who was patrolling the camp.
Xu Shao did this on purpose. He knew that Lu Xuan would raid the granary, so he kept watching in the camp, waiting for news. When he saw the sky-high flames burning in the direction of Changshan Granary, Xu Shao went directly to the Chinese army's tent.
