The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 256: Hundreds of Soldiers Raid the Enemy Camp

Suddenly, a sharp flash of lightning tore through the sky!
Before anyone could come to their senses, the deafening thunder rumbled again.

The drizzle suddenly turned into a downpour!

The crackling raindrops hit my cheeks, making me grimacing in pain.

As the heavy rain came, the wind began to howl.

With cold water droplets splashing everywhere.

The world really changes so quickly.

The rain suddenly came so fast and hard that the soldiers were startled!
Before everyone could react, several torches were extinguished by the rain.

They hurriedly protected the remaining torches and retreated under the straw hut.

It has been raining continuously for several days, and now even making a fire has become a big problem.

There was no sun and the air was humid.

In this case, the flint is no longer useful.

The army could only rely on wooden flints to make fire.

But it's cold and wet here near Jiangbei.

Sometimes I can’t even start a fire after fiddling with it for a long time.

However, cooking, lighting, and patrolling in the wild all require fire.

Therefore, protecting the fire becomes the most important task.

Each camp has several cooks who are responsible for this task.

This job looks easy, but it is actually very strenuous and exhausting.

No matter day or night, you have to keep adding wood and fuel to the fire to prevent it from going out.

When it rains, we have to build a shed to block the wind and rain.

Whether it is making fire by rubbing two sticks together or borrowing fire from other camps, it is very troublesome.

So you have to make sure that the fire is always available.

If the fire was accidentally extinguished, the person responsible would inevitably be beaten with a military stick.

Therefore, each camp built a thatched hut near the gate.

It was covered with oilcloth.

One is to provide temporary shelter for the soldiers guarding the gate, and the other is to protect the torches.

The central military camp is a key place, with dozens of soldiers patrolling back and forth.

At this moment, they all hid in the straw hut, but the wind was too strong.

With rain pouring in from all directions.

Seven or eight torches were all extinguished, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch black!
The soldiers were drenched by the cold rain.

They laid down their weapons and huddled together for warmth.

Listening to the whistling wind and heavy rain outside.

There are also occasional lightning and thunder.

Several soldiers kept sighing and complaining.

"This damn place hasn't seen the sun for five consecutive days!"

"This rain is so sticky and it's really annoying!"

"No matter whether I win or lose, I just want to end this battle as soon as possible!"

"Let's break camp and leave here as soon as possible!"

At this time, I heard someone next to me jokingly say:
"Just leave if you want to. Who do you think you are?"

Another person quickly followed up and said:
"Yes! I'm afraid of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong."

"I still don't have a clear idea in my mind!"

As soon as this was said, someone immediately warned:

"Don't talk nonsense, watch your head!"

Then, someone noticed the fire from the central army camp in the distance.

He quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Didn't you see that the lights in the central army's tent were still on?"

"Those Jiangdong guys haven't rested yet!"

"What time is it now? You've messed with us during the day."

"You stayed up until midnight?!"

Upon hearing this, someone nearby sneered and said:

"Then you really deserve it!"

"Tell me, why do you have to torment us soldiers for no reason?"

“I can’t even sleep peacefully now”

After saying this, the man felt the warning looks from the people around him.

He also stopped talking at the right time.

These soldiers from Jiangxia are now full of resentment.

But since they have joined the army, they have no choice.

They were originally under the command of Uncle Liu.

Come here to join forces with the Jiangdong Army to recapture Jingzhou. Now, military advisor Zhuge Liang has already agreed to Zhou Yu's arrangement.

How dare these little minions interfere in this matter?
Look, I feel that my companions around me are all looking at me strangely.

The soldier who had just spoken knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

He didn't say anything else, just lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

At this time, the wind outside was getting louder and louder.

The strong wind was howling, making the leaves rustle.

Everyone wrapped their clothes tightly and hid under the straw hut.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a thin layer of mist gradually formed on the ground.

The raindrops falling on people feel cold, like cutting by a knife.

"Oh my god, I'm freezing!"

"Why is the rain getting heavier?!"

The sentries hid under the straw hut, whispering to each other.

This is to kill the boring time.

Suddenly, a shrill scream was faintly heard from a distance.

Everyone was so scared that they shut their mouths immediately!
Suddenly, everyone became alert.
But after that cry, everything around returned to calm.

The only sound left in my ears was the rustling of rain and the rumbling of thunder.

Everyone thought, maybe it was just a brother in one of the tents who had a nightmare?
So, no one paid much attention to it and continued talking about other things.

A military god said mysteriously, "Let me tell you something."

"Don't tell anyone else!"

"I have a brother. I heard from people in Jiangdong."

"The situation in Jiangdong is also very chaotic right now!"

"Those Shanyue people are about to attack Chaisang!"

"I wonder how long this battle will last?"

"What if there's a fire in Jiangdong's backyard?"

"Can we do that too?"

"Shh, stop talking! Those things about high-ranking officials."

“Who knows what’s going on?”

"It's better not to spread these words..."

Before I could finish my words, a scream suddenly rang in my ears!
This time, everyone heard it clearly.

No one dared to be careless anymore and quickly grabbed their weapons.

In the heavy rain, they spread out and prepared to check the situation.

I thought I could hear it clearly under the thatched hut,

But when it rains, the only sound I can hear is the sound of the rain.

Looking up, it was pitch black all around and I couldn't see a thing!
The sentry couldn't help but feel a little scared.
I could only hold my weapon tightly and walk slowly in the dark.

A soldier holding a halberd carefully moved towards the entrance of the camp.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the scene before us.

In a trance, he found two figures rushing out from beside him.

The two men were wearing straw raincoats and holding ring-handled swords.

There was a branch in his mouth.

Looking closely, I realized that there was something wrong with the clothes they were wearing!
Not one of our own?!

"There's an enemy lurking... Ugh!"

The unfortunate soldier had not yet finished his cry.

He was stabbed twice on the head and shoulders and fell to the ground dead instantly!

Then, there were a few more shrill screams.

In just a few breaths, four or five sentinels were killed!

Now everyone understood and shouted loudly:

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!"

But what followed were screams one after another!
These people are exposed, while the enemy hides in the shadows.

If you make a sound, you may be attacked again.

In fear, the sentry did not dare to speak easily.

Someone groped for the fence and crept into the camp.
More people are eager to protect themselves.

Waving weapons around in the dark.

Moreover, the organization of these Jiangxia soldiers was disrupted.

At this time, the general did not know how to attack his soldiers, and the situation became a mess!

Over at the central army camp, the cries for help were heard and the camp became even more chaotic!
Soldiers rushed out of each tent!

They all shouted:

"The enemy is attacking us! Get up and fight them!"
