Chapter 295 Anti-Night Attack

"The Xinghan League has only been established for more than a year, and there must be a lot of mobs, chickens and dogs in it, and even the camps can't be arranged normally." The county captain retorted again, but on the face of it, he should also realize that it is abnormal .

"My lord, be careful."

"Well, that makes sense. A lion needs all his strength to fight a rabbit. Let's send someone into the camp to investigate first." At this time, the county captain also couldn't care less about the sudden nature of the night attack.

Coincidentally, as soon as the order was issued, two soldiers from the camp were seen walking out of the camp with their arms around each other. It looked like they were drunk, and they might have just come out to guard the camp gate.

The two men looked up and saw that the outside of the camp was densely packed with people. They were excited, and then shouted: "There is an enemy attack on the camp! There is an enemy attack on the camp!"

While shouting, he turned around and fled in a hurry into the camp. The weapons in his hands fell to the ground and he didn't bother to pick them up.

"Quick! The whole army assaults, kill!!" The county lieutenant ordered loudly.

"kill!"

Officers and soldiers from Jimo County flooded into the camp.

Naturally, the county captain would not take the lead, and followed the hundreds of people who were detained and finally entered the camp.

At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly flashed on both sides of the camp, accompanied by:

Boom, boom, boom…

Intensive crisp sounds sounded.

As soon as the Jimo County officers and soldiers rushed into the camp, screams came one after another.

"What happened? I was ambushed."

This sentence resounded in the hearts of every officer and soldier in Jimo County.

Boom, boom, boom…

The dense crisp sound sounded again.

The screams in the middle of the camp became louder, with people crying for their fathers and mothers.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

In the camp, except for the main entrance, shouts of killing came from the other three directions. It was dark and it was difficult to see how many people there were. Only shadowy figures could be seen, densely packed with eyes.

First, a large number of their own men were killed and injured by unknown weapons. In addition, the sneak attack failed and was ambushed. The morale of the officers and soldiers in Jimo County was depleted, and a rout immediately occurred.

The county lieutenant and the rear army holding down the formation were suddenly scattered by the defeated troops who escaped from the front. In the dark night, it was impossible to talk about supervising the battle.

"kill!!!"

At this time, in the north of the camp, from behind the formation of Jimo County officers and soldiers, there were also loud shouts of killing.

Boom, boom, boom…

The fastest running soldiers were killed by a wave of musket fire, and the soldiers who followed were driven back.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

……

"Batalion Commander, this person is the county captain of Jimo County."

The person brought to Cui Wu by the officer was a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform. He was disheveled, unkempt, and very embarrassed.

However, when Cui Wu looked in from his open coat, he could see that the inner lining was made of silk and satin, which ordinary soldiers could not afford.

Presumably, the Jimo County captain wanted to imitate Cao Cao, changed his clothes and escaped, but was captured by the soldiers of the Xinghan League.

In the dark night, the advantage of the Xinghan League soldiers was too great. Except for some of the Jimo County officers and soldiers who went out to attack the city at night, almost all of them were captured. A few here and there.

"Has the reconnaissance squad blocked the four gates of Jimo County? It's best not to let the defeated troops enter the city, and don't let the city know the news of the failed night attack." Cui Wu asked the deputy battalion commander in charge of the reconnaissance squad. "After the reconnaissance squad discovered the night attack, they did not come back. They have been patrolling the four gates of Jimo. After the night attack troops in Jimo County surrendered, I sent a quick horse to inform them. I guess the city still does not know the news of the failed night attack."

An infantry battalion has two reconnaissance squads of 20 people at the battalion headquarters. Together with the scouts from the company headquarters and platoon headquarters, the reconnaissance manpower is still sufficient, enough to block military information exchanges among the four gates of Jimo.

"Leave a company to guard the prisoners, and organize the soldiers of the second and third companies. Let's go and try and see if we can take the opportunity to enter the city." Cui Wu ordered.

"Yes!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers of the second and third companies gathered again. In addition to the soldiers of the Xinghan League, there were also Jimo County lieutenants and a dozen surrendered Jimo County officers and soldiers.

"set off!"

The Jimo County captain walked in the front, followed by some surrendered officers and soldiers from Jimo County. The two rows in front of the army were all familiar faces.

Behind them were two battalions of soldiers from the Xinghan League.

The troops came directly to the south gate of Jimo City.

"If you want to survive, you know what to do, right?" Cui Wu warned again.

"I know! I know!" The Jimo County Wei responded solemnly.

Then the Jimo County Lieutenant walked to the front of the army, came to the moat in front of the city gate tower, and shouted towards the city gate tower: "Guan Jin, open the door."

"My lord, my lord is resting. I'll call right away." A man who looked like a soldier protruded from the city wall and replied to the Jimo county lieutenant.

Next to the Jimo County Lieutenant were surrendered officers and soldiers holding torches to illuminate, so the people in the city could clearly see the Jimo County Lieutenant's face.

"What is it called? Open the door quickly. We have gained a lot this time. I am very tired, sir." Jimo County Wei Qiang cheered up and opened the door again.

"Okay! Open the door now." The soldier quickly agreed as he didn't dare to resist the highest-ranking military attache in Jimo County.

With the sound of creaking, the suspension bridge on the moat was slowly lowered, and the gate in the city gate opened at the same time.

"Boom!" There was a sound.

The suspension bridge was built on the bank of the moat, and the city gate was opened.

"Let's go!" Cui Wu pushed the Jimo county lieutenant who was in a daze.

The troops moved forward again and successfully stepped onto the suspension bridge. When the soldiers of the Xinghan League behind them entered the illuminated range of the brazier above the city gate, the guards on the city gate tower finally realized that something was wrong.

"Fraud! Close the city gate!"

Following this prompt, the rope dragging the suspension bridge tightened suddenly and began to retract the suspension bridge.

But it's too late.

A dozen soldiers pushed aside the two rows of surrendering officers and soldiers in front, rushed directly into the city gate with the city gate wide open, killed people in their way, and then quickly rushed up to the city gate tower.

Ping ping ping ping ping, and after more than a dozen sounds of gold and iron, the rope that had just been tightened was loosened again, and the soldiers of the subsequent Xinghan League entered the city smoothly.

"Go directly to the county government office."

Cui Wu left two squads of men to guard the south gate and led 300 people straight to the county government office.

The resistance in the city was very weak for the soldiers of the Xinghan League, probably because most of the officers and soldiers were taken out of the city by the county captain to participate in the night attack, and they did not encounter any resistance from the established organizations along the way.

The troops entering the city arrived in front of the county yamen smoothly, but the gate of the county yamen was not closed, presumably they were waiting for the news of the county lieutenant's victory.

After killing several guards at the door, 100 people entered the county government compound from the main entrance, 100 people guarded the front door, and 100 people went around from the left and right sides of the county government compound to the back door.

With surrendered soldiers as the guide, Cui Wu surrounded the county government compound with 300 people.

Entering the meeting hall, where the county magistrate reviews cases, Cui Wu found that there were more than a dozen officials sitting in the hall. Most of the officials from Jimo County must be here.

He turned around and pulled the Jimo County Lieutenant in and pushed him into the crowd of officials. More than a dozen people stood in a group, neatly organized.
