Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 509 Tooth for Tooth
At midnight, when the horn sounded in the camp, the entire camp moved.

There is an enemy attack! It is a night attack!

No one dared to light a lamp in each tent, as they did not know how many enemy troops were coming, and they were afraid that lighting a lamp would expose them. When the horn sounded throughout the camp, all the soldiers prepared for battle in the dark.

Soon, while the enemy was unsure of the situation, a group of enemy troops who were preparing to burn food and grass were captured.

No one expected that after a fierce battle yesterday morning, they thought they would have a few days to rest, but unexpectedly, the Xirong and Fanjue sneaked in at night.

The crowd kicked the dozen or so enemies who were surrounded in the middle. This one in black must be quite capable, sneaking in to attack at night.

Zhao Guangyuan watched coldly, but did not stop them. He asked Fang Sheng, who was standing beside him, "Have you sent anyone to check over there on the city wall?"

Fang Sheng nodded, "I have checked. We have already increased the number of troops."

"How could such a mistake happen!"

Fang Sheng was a little afraid to look at him. "This is the most difficult time. The enemy sneaked over from the blind spot and climbed the city wall with a flying hook. I didn't check it for a while..."

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him coldly.

The generals and captains present were so frightened by the King of Yue that they dared not breathe, and no one dared to say a good word for the marshal.

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at Fang Sheng. Fang Sheng loved the army and treated all the soldiers as his own, but sometimes he was too soft-hearted.

"All soldiers guarding the city walls tonight who are still alive will be beaten with fifty sticks at dawn as a warning to others!"

"Your Highness, is this punishment too..." excessive?

After all, no one expected the enemy to be so cunning. After just a big battle, they launched a night attack at night, when people were the most sleepy.

But under the cold gaze of King Yue, Fang Sheng swallowed back what he was about to say.

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Guangyuan retracted his gaze and said, "For the soldiers defending the city who died tonight, the pension will be doubled."

"Yes." Fang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. The generals and lieutenants present also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to have rewards and punishments. I'm afraid no one will dare to slack off in the future.

After the crowd had escorted a dozen enemy soldiers away, Zhao Guangyuan glanced at the generals and captains standing in front of him, "Tonight is a lesson for our army. It tells us that the enemy will not stop until they achieve their goal, and their offensive will only become more fierce. We cannot relax for even a day! We must be alert at all times! Be ready to fight at any time."

"Yes!"

Zhao Guangyuan was very satisfied and said, "The court asked us, the generals of Hangu Pass, to guard the northwest gate, but if we only defend and do not attack, the enemy will think that we are afraid of fighting. I ask you, are you afraid of fighting?"

“Not afraid of fighting!”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Fuck your fear of fighting! I'm going to take people to burn down their camp right now!" Meng Yan shouted the loudest.

Everyone present was also very excited. They had shed so much blood and earned so many military merits to get their current positions. They had never been afraid of fighting!
When Zhao Guangyuan said he wanted to lead a team to launch a night attack to retaliate, all the generals volunteered to fight.

Zhao Guangyuan took a look around and picked Lu Ye, Jiang Huan, Zhan Qian, and two young lieutenants. He also picked a dozen of his personal soldiers and teamed up with a team picked by Fang Sheng, totaling about 35 people.

Those who were not selected still feel a little regretful.

Seeing that the King of Yue was going to go in person, Fang Sheng was so scared that he held him back, but Zhao Guangyuan said that he wanted to go there in person. The generals did not stop him and could only watch him leave with his troops.

Fang Sheng was worried. If something happened to the King of Yue, how would he explain to the Emperor?

Some people thought that the King of Yue was showing off, and it was a bit irrational for a general to personally launch a night attack, but more people admired the King of Yue more and more. This was the general they wanted. Wei Zuo saw all this from the side. He was also worried, but since the King of Yue went in person, he probably had some confidence. And the two captains that the prince just picked were well chosen.

They were the subordinates of the two generals who were on the side of the prince. If they made military achievements, and they were promoted, and those who had different intentions were sidelined, it would be easier for the prince to regain the morale of the army at Hangu Pass.

Lu Ye and Jiang Huan also saw the prince's intention in selecting people, and followed the king of Yue silently all the way.

Dozens of people jumped off the city wall at night and found a small path to the back of the enemy camp.

The cat was in a low place, motionless.

Zhan Qian was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, the enemy is planning a night attack tonight, and I'm afraid they are on high alert. Can we rush in?"

It was late autumn, the night wind chilled people to the bone, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

When Zhan Qian asked this question, everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the King of Yue's answer.

"The other side is definitely on guard, but they may not expect that we will launch a night attack." They would think that Da Qi is busy capturing people and defending, and would not expect a counterattack so soon.

"Our main goal this time is to find the enemy's granary and burn their food supplies to make them chaotic and create conditions for our surprise attack. At the same time, we will also let them have a taste of what it feels like to fight back."

Everyone nodded and surrounded the King of Yue to listen to his battle arrangements.

Soon, Zhao Guangyuan selected Lu Ye, two skilled captains, and a dozen of his own soldiers. These people were skilled in martial arts and light body skills, and he would personally lead them to rush in and burn the food and grass.

As for the other team, Zhao Guangyuan glanced in the direction of Lin Jingning and said, "You have good aim. General Jiang and General Zhan will lead you to cover us."

"Yes."

In the darkness, Lin Jingning nodded to King Yue and tightly grasped the bow in his hand, feeling both nervous and excited.

Soon, the group was crawling towards the enemy camp, and soon they split into two directions.

Zhao Guangyuan made a gesture, and Lin Jingning and others stood up and fired rockets at the enemy's guards. Suddenly, the enemy camp was in chaos.

Zhao Guangyuan took advantage of the chaos and led Lu Ye and others to climb into the enemy camp through the weak defense.

Because the enemy was launching a night attack, probably to deal with various situations, candles were left everywhere and pots were set up in the kitchen. Zhao Guangyuan and others easily found their way there and found the enemy's food storage.

Everyone was dressed in black, and with their light-weight skills, they quickly set fire to the enemy's food storage and stable.

Soon, the enemy discovered that not only was there an enemy raid on the front camp, but there were also fires in various places in the rear camp.

In the darkness, no one knew how many people had come. They just thought that the army of Da Qi was attacking. They were busy fighting and putting out fires, and all kinds of noise were heard everywhere.

"Where is Lu Ye?" Zhao Guangyuan was a little anxious when he didn't see Lu Ye.

"He said that he found another granary and went to set it on fire." Jiang Huan replied.

"Nonsense, didn't you say that you should just create chaos and stop when it's enough?" Zhao Guangyuan shouted. If they didn't get back in time, Zhan Qian and the others might not be able to resist and would become cannon fodder.

He wanted to support him, but was afraid of delaying things. Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ye flashed back. "I know I was wrong." But the granary was bigger, and he would not be willing to burn it down.

This was not the time to get angry with him. "Go!" Zhao Guangyuan gave an order and everyone took advantage of the chaos to run away.

At this time, the sky was about to brighten. Fang Sheng saw the enemy camp on fire from the city wall. He was excited and said, "Open the city gate and fight!"

The generals who were preparing for the surprise attack heard the marshal's order and rushed out with their troops. "Kill, kill!"
