At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 69 Night Attack

Zhang Jin said that since he beheaded Gao Qichen, the captain of Bohai County, his reputation had grown greatly, and there was an endless stream of people who came to join him, so he became a little self-inflated, especially after taking advantage of Zhangnan County, he was a little dizzy Turning his head, he was only thinking about expanding his territory and becoming king and hegemony. He didn't even consider whether his current strength could be digested, so he led his troops to attack Yu County non-stop, but he immediately returned to his original shape in front of the tall city wall of Yu County, and he was smashed. blood flow.

The mob was just a mob after all. Zhang Jin said that the bandits under his command had no formal military training, no siege experience, and no effective siege equipment. They wanted to break through a city with a wall more than ten meters high and complete defense measures. How easy is it?
Zhang Jin said that he was obviously aware of this, so he ordered logging to be cut overnight to build simple siege equipment such as ladders and archery towers, so the camp was still brightly lit after nightfall, and it was a busy scene.

Tonight, the moonlight was dim and the autumn wind was slightly cold. Gao Bufan, father and son, and Li Jing were lying on a soil slope, and they happened to have a clear glimpse of the situation in the bandit camp.

Although Gao Bufan had no experience in arranging troops, he could tell that Zhang Jincheng's camp was arranged in a mess, with no rules at all, and the security was very lax. at will.

In addition, Gao Bufan also found that there were not many tents in the camp, and most of the people camped in the open air. There were piles of bonfires here and there, and only a few hundred tents were set up in the center of the camp, which should be provided for thieves. The main force of the soldiers lived there. As for the bandits at the bottom, they could only lie next to the bonfire, and the civilians who were coerced had no rest.

At this time, Li Jing pointed to the tents in the center of the camp and said in a low voice: "According to my observation, most of the main force of the bandits are resting in the tents, and there will never be more than 2000 people. You led people to charge the camp from the west, and this officer charged in from the east, just go to the tents and kill the rest of the bandits, as long as they successfully defeat the main force of the bandits, the rest will naturally disperse."

Gao Kaishan and Gao Bufan nodded in response. Li Jing glanced regretfully at the city of Ji County, which was also brightly lit. If the city could send troops to respond, the effect of the three-sided attack would naturally be better, but at present there is no way to communicate with the city. Fortunately, Zhang Jin said that this reckless man didn't seem to know how to arrange troops to fight, and the flank attack should be enough.

After discussing, the three of them turned around and left quietly. The large army was waiting ten miles behind them.

The cavalry of nearly a thousand people was fighting with open flames, so the movement was naturally huge. Even if the bandit soldiers in charge of patrolling were blind, they would have noticed it. Without stepping forward to verify, he immediately reported happily to the middle account: "The big boss, the second boss and the fourth boss are back, and they snatched back a lot of horses, hehe!"

Zhang Jin said that he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ran out of the camp. Sure enough, he saw a long team of horses approaching in the distance holding torches. It is undoubtedly one of our own.

At this time, all the thieves, soldiers and generals also ran out to watch, cheering and cheering, too many horses, excited!

"God help me too, if I knew there were so many war horses in Feiying Racecourse, I would have snatched his mother's horses long ago, hahaha!"

Zhang Jin said that he waved his fist with joy. These horses are enough for him to form a thousand-man cavalry regiment. The combat power of the cavalry is not comparable to that of the infantry. , I can fight wherever I want in the future, and I am no longer limited to the surrounding areas of Bohai County!
The third leader, Wei Sheng, had a look of envy, jealousy and hatred. He had always been at odds with the second leader, Sun Yan. Now he saw that the other party had snatched back so many war horses, so he was naturally extremely jealous. It also cost dozens of lives under his command.

"These war horses must get a share from me. If the surname Sun dares to say no, I can't beat him to death!" Wei San spat fiercely, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Big mouthfuls of meat, big bowls of wine, and big scales to share money have always been the rules of thieves and bandits. Every time a business is done, they will sit on the ground and divide up the spoils according to their status. Only those who get the share are their own, so the bandits have never been monolithic, because the distribution is not Big fights happened frequently. Wei Sheng, the third master, and Sun Yan, the second master, had several fights over the distribution of spoils. As the master, Zhang Jin said that he would not only stop it, but also be happy to see it succeed, because his subordinates If people are too united, his boss will be unstable instead.

Just as Wei Sheng was thinking about how to get more horses from Sun Yan, the thousand-horse team was already approaching the camp. Whether it was intentional or not, the horse team extinguished the torches one after another as they approached the camp.

Zhang Jinzheng frowned, feeling something was wrong, but before he had time to think about it, the front team of the cavalry had already entered the camp. With the light of the fire in the camp, Zhang Jinzheng finally saw the appearance of the knight on horseback clearly. The second master, Sun Yan, and the fourth master, Ye Fei, were all unfamiliar faces, so they couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

At this moment, those knights suddenly threw away the broken knives and guns in their hands, and neatly raised their bows and arrows obliquely, making a throwing motion.

Zhang Jin said that he was scared out of his wits at once, and in a hurry, he grabbed Wei Sheng, the third master who was closest to him, and stood in front of him. At the same time, a rain of arrows was thrown over him!

swoosh swish...

Those thieves, soldiers and generals were huddled together to watch the fun, densely packed like a group of sardines, but they expected that disaster would suddenly fall from the sky, hundreds of sharp arrows whizzed down, and fell down in a row on the spot like harvesting wheat, mourning In the background, the poor third master Sun Yan was used by Zhang Jincheng as a shield. He was shot with seven or eight arrows in the chest, and died of anger before he could even scream!
"Enemy attack, fight!" Zhang Jin said in a hysterical roar, while holding the body of the third master who had been shot like a hedgehog, he retreated to the camp tent behind. Instead, they scattered.

"Kill!" Gao Kai yelled at the bottom of the mountain, slapped his horse and raised his knife and rushed towards the middle of the camp.

Gao Kaishan's skills may not be too high, but he is very skilled in killing the enemy immediately, but when he sees the light of the knife passing by, he kills heads rolling, and he is extremely powerful.

Gao Bufan didn't give up too much, the big green horse under his crotch was like a blue dragon sailing out to sea, the long knife in his hand turned into a surging horse, and he rushed horizontally and vertically, as if entering the land of no one.Seeing how powerful Gao Kaishan and his son were, the Gao disciples behind them were greatly encouraged, and they urged their horses to follow behind them and charge forward like a bamboo shoot.

Li Jing led [-] Sui soldiers under his command to enter from the east, and the situation was similar. They reached the tent without any decent resistance at all. The Sui soldiers galloped their horses and shouted: "The driver, foreign member Lang, Li Jing, Li Jing, My lord, lead an army of [-] to suppress the bandits, Zhang Jin said to come out quickly and die!"

Most of the people who were working were coerced civilians. When they heard that the imperial court's [-] troops were coming to suppress the bandits, they either ran away in fright, or lay on the spot with their heads in their hands and dared not move.

Although a considerable number of bandit soldiers voluntarily defected, it was only to earn a living, and their willingness to resist was not high. Only the main band of bandit soldiers in the middle of the camp and living in tents had the highest will to resist.

This group of thieves has vested interests. They have a strong will to fight, possess weapons, and have strong combat power. They are the backbone of the thieves. The situation is in chaos, and no effective resistance can be organized at all.

Soon, Zhang Jin said that the main force of the Chinese army was smashed by the cavalry. All the tents were on fire.
Zhang Jin said that he planned to organize a counterattack, but unfortunately the camp had been washed away, and everyone was just running for their lives crying and shouting. Break out and flee in a hurry.

"Haha, the overall situation is settled!" Wei Zheng, who was stationed on a horse watching the battle on a distant slope, stroked his beard and laughed when he saw this, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. This gamble related to the future and fate, he won the bet !
Seeing Wei Zheng turning his horse's head and preparing to leave, Gao Shou and Gao Ren, who had been standing by the side, quickly asked, "Where is Mr. Wei going? We haven't finished the fight yet!"

This Mr. Wei's call made Wei Zheng feel happy, he laughed and said: "I will go back to Yangxin County, you don't have to follow." After speaking, he rode his horse away under the moonlight.

Gao Shou scratched his head and said: "Mr. Wei told us not to follow, so shall we follow?"

Gao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Do you listen to Mr. Wei, or the young master?"

"Of course I listened to the young master. If the young master didn't let us follow every step of the way, the devil would care about Mr. Wei and Mr. Li." Gao Shou pouted.

"Then you are still talking nonsense!" Gao Ren whipped his horse's ass violently, and hurriedly chased after him. Gao Shou wanted to continue watching the battle, but he could only follow in resentment.
