Wei Ni

Chapter 50
The Fuling defense point that attacked Jiangdong went very smoothly.

Firstly, the defense of these Jiangdong soldiers was too lax.

There has been no war in Huainan for the past three years, and Wei Guo was the one that suffered a disastrous defeat before, so they all felt that Wei Guo would no longer come to make fun of it, so they lost the morale of conscientiousness.

On the other hand, Xia Houhui and the others launched an attack from the rear.

Jiangdong, which is completely based on the danger of the great river, has been attacking each other with Wei State for decades, but due to the geographical advantage, it has never been attacked by Wei State from behind!
So, who can guard against the danger coming from the rear?

Not to mention, they only exchanged information with the messengers from Hengjiangpu in the rear this morning. How could they have thought that there was an enemy situation in the rear?
In the end, Xia Houhui's timing of attacking was so ingenious!
Due to the years of turmoil in the world and the sharp drop in population and insufficient food and fodder production in various places, regardless of Wei State or Jiangdong, except for the elite of the emperor's direct line, the soldiers guarding outside are given two meals a day during non-war periods.

And after a month, it may not be possible to eat meat once.

Therefore, the soldiers have also developed a habit of eating as much as possible every time they eat.

Especially evening food.

Because there is no more military work to do, many people don't stop until they are full.

Once a person is full, he will have symptoms such as sleepiness and unwillingness to move, commonly known as "satiated and faint".

The timing Xia Houhui chose was half an hour after the Jiangdong soldiers were full, when they were loose and disorderly, sitting in twos and threes and making jokes.

So far, the only difficulty Wei Jun faced was how to rush into the camp before Wu Bing could react.

The security defense point that can only accommodate hundreds of people, although there are no defensive fortifications such as guarding ditches, deer villages, or barbed wire, is well built.It is located on a gentle slope, not too high, about two zhang. The rear camp gate is not closed, but one or two layers of antlers are piled up, and there are tall watchtowers (arrows) on the left and right sides of the camp gate, one or two each The famous soldiers are on guard.

There is no difficulty in removing the antlers blocking the way.

You only need to find some vines and knead them into ropes, let one or two cavalry hold them, and when they gallop past the camp, wrap the ropes around the antlers and pull them away with the help of horsepower.

The key is how to shoot the Wu soldiers on the watchtower before they beat the gong to warn them.

"General, within seventy paces, I'm [-]% sure that I can shoot one. But as long as I rode my horse a hundred paces closer to the camp, I'm afraid I'll be discovered."

Jiang Ban, who was watching from a distance, pointed to the empty area of ​​Wu Jun's camp, and said in a somewhat disappointed tone.

However, his face was full of fighting spirit soon, and he added a sentence, "General, the cavalry who come out with me can all be called elites. Go in and kill them all! As for, there will be casualties before the battle. The people in the scout battalion are not afraid of death! If the general promises, after returning home, all the compensation and rewards for the dead will be handed over to their families , I am willing to die!"

Uh?
On the Huainan front, there are still pensions and rewards for the war dead?
Hearing this, Xia Houhui couldn't help but look sideways, his eyes full of horror.

And Jiang Ban, who was being stared at, also realized that he had slipped his mouth, he hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Well, that, it seems that there are rumors in the army that the Lujiang prefect is not liked by the soldiers. "

It's Wenqin
Alas, this man is also true!
He is obviously from Qiaopei, and his father was also a general of the Yuan Cong army of Emperor Wu Cao Cao. With such a relationship, he did not think of treating the soldiers well and expected to make great contributions so that the emperor would send him out to supervise the town. things come.

Originally, I thought that after I made meritorious service and got promoted, I would walk around more with my fellow countrymen!

Now it seems that it's okay.

For a moment, Xia Houhui, who was full of thoughts, shook his head, and after throwing away his distracting thoughts, he smiled at Jiang Ban, "Don't worry, Gongjun, although I am a mediocre person, I can't do something useful like deducting soldiers' pensions." Disgrace to the family."

Then he added generously, "Furthermore, since you are willing to follow me deep into the enemy's rear without hesitating your life, I will definitely take a lot of you back! There are only three soldiers on the thief Wuwang Tower. If I want to It's not too difficult to shoot them all before they strike the gong to warn them!"

After all, he handed over the reins to Jiang Ban and asked him to lead all the cavalry to prepare for the attack.

Then he took his longbow and three arrows and strode away to look at the thief Wu's camp.

Although the rhetoric is very reckless, but the steps are very cautious.

I saw him bending down and trotting along the cliff. When he was about 150 steps away from the thief Wu Yingzhai, he put his bow on his back, inserted three arrows into his shoes against his calf, and then lay on the ground, using all four limbs quickly crawl forward.

From a distance, it looks like a four-legged snake cruising and hunting.

Benefiting from the abundant rainwater in the Jianghuai area, although the frontiers of the Thieves Wu camp had been cleared, the weeds were also knee-high, which also gave Xia Houhui a good cover.

Soon, he approached the camp a hundred steps away.

The speed also began to slow down, advancing cautiously.

Not only the sharp stones and unknown thorns hidden under the weeds have already caused many bright red spots on his hands; but also because he needs to bow slightly and raise his head from time to time to observe the field of vision and concealment of shooting, in order to find a The best place for sniping.

Finally, at the seventy paces approaching the camp, he stopped.

With his left hand, he took off the strange bow on his back, and with his right hand, he pulled out the arrows tied to his calf, and stuck them obliquely on the ground one by one; his eyes fixed on the three Wu soldiers on the left and right watchtowers like falcons.

Left one, right two.

The body on the left is leaning against the pillar, as if dozing off with a spear in its arms?

But Xia Houhui still dare not take it lightly.

Because within seventy steps, he was absolutely sure to shoot all three Wu soldiers to death, but he was not sure to prevent them from making noise or warning before they died.

The reason why I came here with such bold words was just to give it a try.

Anyway, if it fails, no one will blame it.

However, he still looks forward to his own success.

So after watching silently for a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly, facing the wind with his ears, felt the strength of the wind, and lighted up a little bit of light in his mind, converging into the appearance of the three Wu soldiers, carefully deducing the angle and sequence of the sniper attack.

At this moment, he has nothing else to do.

Time seems to be like sand with a broken thread, falling grain by grain, going very slowly.

Only the midsummer wind was left in his ears, whispering in his ears, playing with the hair on his forehead.Sometimes sharp and rude, as if wanting to pull out his hair suddenly; sometimes gentle and mischievous, as if wanting to use his hair to provoke a sneeze.

It seemed like a long time, but only a dozen or so breaths later, the hair on his forehead suddenly stopped fluttering, and his eyes suddenly opened.

Get up suddenly, set the arrow, draw the bowstring, loosen the fingers, and move the clouds and water, all in one go!
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows.
The arrows fired one after another seemed to have no gaps.

And Jiang Ban and other cavalry pawns who were waiting nervously not far away saw the miraculous scene.

A Wu Bing in the watchtower on the right was suddenly pierced by an arrow in his throat, and collapsed to the ground; the other Wu Bing, who was talking and laughing happily with him, was stunned before he realized that he was about to open his mouth to call out, but was followed by The arrows from the lasing pierced into the mouth.

As for the dozing Wu Bing on the left, it was even more peaceful.

He was pierced through the throat by an arrow, and died silently in a dream.

Is this the legendary lianju shooting technique?
Jiang Ban opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with unimaginable wonder.

But the movement in his hands was not slow, and he suddenly clamped the horse's belly and led Xia Houhui's mount to gallop out, while urging, "Quick! Quick! The general has succeeded!"

However, he was still slow after all.

Those elite cavalry didn't need his urging at all. They rushed out when the Wu soldiers above the watchtower of the first camp were shot to death.

The reason is that they have been together for many days, which made them admire Xia Houhui's archery skills.

But they didn't believe at all that Xiahou Huineng let three Wu soldiers die silently in an instant!

Therefore, with the mentality of being one step ahead and having a higher chance of success, and with enthusiasm for military exploits, naturally I rushed out impatiently.

As for why you don’t believe it, but you still have to obey orders~
That was the chief officer of the scout battalion.

Moreover, he is still a young and honorable chief official.

A high-spirited young man will inevitably like to be brave, and since he wants to be brave, let him go.

If he obstructed him out loud, he might be secretly hated!
Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, just add some fun to the boring life.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with their early action.When the sound of horseshoes sounded, Xia Houhui had already shot the third arrow.

But this little episode also made Xia Houhui feel a little bit emotional.

At this time, he deeply realized that if he wants to subdue the men in the army and command these elites like his arms, it is impossible to achieve his wish only by having fun with wine and meat.

He still has a long way to go in his ambition to lead the army.

"General, get on your horse!"

Just as he was feeling emotional, Jiang Ban had already rushed over leading Wusun Liangju, calling out from a distance.

Xia Houhui didn't respond to this.

He just put his bow on his body and ran forward quickly. When Wusun Liangju ran to his side, he suddenly jumped up with his feet and climbed onto the horse's back with his arms around the horse's neck.

Years of hard work on arching horses has finally paid off today.

Very generous rewards.

By the time he rushed into the camp, the battle was already coming to an end.

Fuling's garrison point is far away from the north bank of the river. Once attacked, reinforcements will hardly be received, so the Wu soldiers sent to defend are not elite.And now, at the time when the evening is full of food and relaxation, Wei Qi suddenly rushed into the camp without anyone noticing, and it is only natural that he would collapse at the touch of a touch.

Well, most of them are down.

When Wei Qi rushed into the camp and shot more than a dozen dead, trampled several to death by driving his horses, and chopped down more than a dozen with his sword, the remaining 60 people fell to the ground and begged for their lives.

The price paid by the cavalry was nothing more than a few people were slightly injured.

Such a disparity in victory made everyone elated, and it was the first time that Xia Houhui received the respect and admiration from the soldiers.

only.
At this moment, the gates of Hengjiangpu Shuwu Yeying opened wide.

A dozen or so scouts galloped out, two or three of them came looking at Fuling; the rest scattered to search in the water marshes, woods or valleys along the way.
