Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272 Night Attack on the Huns Camp

In the middle of the night, at three o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Yun was combing the mane of the Yezhao Jade Lion carefully by the faint light of the fire.

It's been a long time since I took care of its body, and now the Yezhao Jade Lion's body is covered with hard scabs formed by a mixture of blood, mud and sweat.

Xia Houlan was sitting on a big rock not far from Zhao Yun, cleaning the white iron gun in her hand.

The body of the white gun is now also stained dark red by the blood of the enemy, but the color on the gun barrel is of different shades, which looks a bit messy.

There are also a hundred or so Han captives who were rescued earlier but refused to leave. They are now shuttling around in the crowd, bringing water, food, and oil-soaked torches to the soldiers for later raids. .

The soldiers were silently making their own preparations, either cleaning their weapons, closing their eyes to rest their minds, or carefully eating dry food.

The time for recuperation has always been short, and the time of Haishi has arrived!

Zhao Yun got on his horse,
Xia Houlan carried the spear, and also got on her horse.

Immediately afterwards, more than 100 soldiers who could ride horses to participate in the battle also stood up firmly and sat on their horses!

Zhao Yun rode his horse to the front of the formation lined up by the cavalry, and said loudly: "Some people wonder why we have not carried out night raids on the Huns before. Because what we need is an opportunity like today! The only chance! "

He has never attacked the Huns at night. Zhao Yun just wanted to give them the illusion that he could not act at night.

And when this opportunity is used, it means that this will be their biggest and last action.

Holding the spear upside down, Zhao Yun said, "Tonight will be our last battle against the Huns in this experience, and it will also be the battle with the heaviest mission and the greatest danger."

"We want to rescue more than a thousand compatriots trapped in the hands of the Huns. For this reason, we may suffer heavy casualties."

Xia Houlan and the others looked at Zhao Yun with serious faces, waiting for what he would say next.
"Brothers, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers said firmly, without any hesitation or wavering in their expressions.

But Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Damn it! I, Zhao Zilong, are afraid, but are you afraid?"

"Hahaha!" The tense atmosphere at the scene instantly relaxed, and the tension in the hearts of the knights also melted a lot.

"It turns out that General Zhao is also afraid at times?" someone booed.

After the soldiers calmed down, Zhao Yun continued: "There is only one mission tonight. I don't care how many enemy troops are killed. We must rescue as many Han compatriots as possible!"

"Willing to die for the general!!" The uniform voice gave Zhao Yun unparalleled confidence!
Zhao Yun turned his horse's head, picked up the torch passed by others, and ordered in a calm tone: "Brothers, remember, don't make troubles, just save your compatriots!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Follow me first and touch it quietly."

"Here!!"

After Zhao Yun led the cavalry away,
At the place temporarily repaired before their cavalry, the hundred or ten Han captives who voluntarily stayed were already kneeling on the ground.

The tears in their eyes have already wet their faces. This is the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they are also moved by the friendship of this Han cavalry to save their compatriots.

Once upon a time, they were desperate, but the cavalry of the Han family appeared in front of them like heavenly soldiers!
Liu Bao and the tribes of other leaders have now formed a huge camp.

They were attacked by Zhao Yun no less than ten times along the way. After many adjustments, they finally merged the separate camps of each tribe into a whole.

The advantage of this is that it can be managed and dispatched in a unified manner to avoid being defeated by Zhao Yun one by one.Moreover, everyone's captives were put together to take care of them, which saved many people a lot of trouble.

As for the disadvantages, it will be reflected later.
In the middle of the night, most of the Huns had already fallen asleep except for a few guards.

In the past month or so, they have been attacked by Han Chinese cavalry every five to seven days.

Although the body has gradually become accustomed to this tight rhythm, it is inevitable to feel tired mentally.

It's only been more than a day since Zhao Yun's attack last time, but the Huns are still repairing according to the previous rhythm, and they are destined to suffer a big loss.

Under the cover of night, Zhao Yun and others quietly touched the camp less than [-] meters away.

But at this time, a Huns secret sentry lurking in the pit finally discovered them.

"Han cavalry! Han cavalry!!!"

The mournful cry of the dark whistle broke the quiet and peaceful night.

Still exposed, Zhao Yun immediately shouted, "Fire!"

Following Zhao Yun's order, more than 2000 torches lit up instantly, suddenly illuminating the entire area in front of us!

"charge!!!"

Zhao Yun gave an order, and more than [-] knights who grew up from the battle with the Huns rushed forward to the Huns camp standing in the darkness with the momentum of going forward without hesitation!
Holding torches in one hand and reins in the other, the cavalry rushed towards the Huns' camp.

They were only [-] meters away from the Huns camp, and for a horse sprinting at full speed, it was almost three to five seconds!

Many Huns were awakened from sleep by the tremors of the ground and the loud rumbling noises. At this moment, their minds were still in a state of confusion and delayed reaction.

Suddenly, a Hun with a bushy beard rushed out of the tent with his bare upper body, and found a ball of orange-red light passing over his head and falling on his tent, and then the whole tent began to burn violently!

"Fire! Fire! The Han people set fire!"

"The Han people have come in! They have come in!!!"

"Don't panic! The tribes gather themselves, the Han people will leave soon!!"

However, today is different from the past. Even though the Huns began to gather, the Han cavalry still showed no signs of leaving.

Not only that, Xia Houlan also led a thousand cavalry to attack those Huns that had assembled but not many in number!

Xia Houlan threw the torch in his hand onto the tent of a small tribe leader, his eyes were filled with the crimson flames!
Xia Houlan straightened her iron gun, pointed at the two or three hundred Huns who had assembled in front of them, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill!!!"

"Kill!" The cavalry followed Xia Houlan and launched a fearless charge!

Wherever Xia Houlan rushed, they rushed there without hesitation.

Although Xia Houlan is not as brave as Zhao Yun, a quasi-first-class strongman is already unmatched in the eyes of ordinary soldiers.

And along the way, Xia Houlan also proved his bravery and wisdom, these soldiers, obey him.

Group after group of Huns who were trying to gather were dispersed, and Xiahoulan's cavalry had already shown signs of lack of stamina.

There were indeed too many people on the other side, and their gathering speed was far faster than Xia Houlan's speed of breaking them up.

After persisting for about half an hour, news finally came from Zhao Yun.

The messenger found Xiahoulan who was in the middle of the fight, and reported: "General Xiahou, General Zhao has succeeded, and is currently protecting the prisoners to leave. He needs you to go and cut off his heir!"

Without saying a word, Xia Houlan shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me!"
