Chapter 974 Night Attack
Although the Buddha's mother made up her mind that she would never go to see Wang Xian before dawn, she was always restless and irritable in the camp, unable to settle down. It felt like the night was really long, and she couldn't help but check it out a few times, but nothing happened. It's only been an hour...

Seeing the middle of the night, the Buddha's mother finally thought about it, smiled at herself, and said secretly: "That guy is obviously lying, I believe in the truth, it seems that it is too sincere." 'Having figured out how to get rid of Wang Xian tomorrow morning, she sat cross-legged, ready to fall into samadhi.

Just about to enter the state of forgetting things and me, the Buddha mother seemed to hear the noise of people and horses outside the tent. She thought it was because she was thinking too much and had some auditory hallucinations, but the voice outside became more and more clear, and the Buddha mother finally couldn't bear it. He whispered, "What are you doing outside?"

The little maid lowered her head in sleepiness long ago, opened her eyes vigorously when she heard the words, and muttered: "Whatever, I can't go to attack the city in the middle of the night."

After the little maid finished speaking, she saw the Buddha's mother standing up, walking to the door of the tent, opening the thick curtain, and then standing there in a daze...

"Buddha's mother." The little maid hurriedly stood up, walked to Buddha's mother, looked outside, and couldn't help but also froze - she saw tens of thousands of officers and soldiers marching silently in the barracks.These guys who had been sleeping soundly during the day, at this moment, their eyes are shining, they are full of energy, they are fully armed, and they line up neatly!
There are no torches, no orders, only eye-catching white cloth wrapped around the arms to remind the soldiers of the position of the queue.

Seeing this silent dragon drive out of the barracks, the little maid couldn't help muttering: "They don't mean to run away overnight..." She herself also felt that the words were ridiculous, and her voice gradually faded away.

The Buddha's mother ignored the little maid, and watched the army leaving the barracks, and then turned to look at the Genglou in the tent. Under the faint candlelight, the scale pointed to the third watch.

.

In the middle of the night, the city of Linzi was quiet except for the crackling of countless torches at the top of the city.They gossiped in low voices, and let out suppressed laughter from time to time...

Wang Bin's army is strict in discipline, and soldiers are not allowed to make noise at the top of the city, and soldiers are not allowed to sleep at night. In fact, he even ordered the soldiers to keep patrolling. It would be nice to have a patrol in the next day.At this moment, everyone was cold, sleepy and tired, and they all huddled together to keep warm, and the officers also turned a blind eye, and even simply warmed up with them.

"The general is really cautious," a general muttered in a low voice, "If you want me to say, it's useless to open up Linzi city for them to attack just by relying on those bastards from the White Lotus Sect."

"That's right, what does Bai Lian teach, a bunch of mud-legged people." These words resonated with everyone, and they all echoed: "We are the most elite Hanwang army in the Ming Dynasty!"

"That's right, if you want me to say, you should open the gates of the city and go out, put them on horseback, and then go all the way to Qingzhou, kill Tang Tiande and Naluoshizi Buddhist mother to avenge the son!"

"Hey, the Buddha mother can't be killed, I heard that she is a stunning beauty..." The boss gave a weird laugh, and everyone laughed too. "Not bad, let us brothers enjoy it!"

"Ahem. Be careful. There is no big mistake. Linzi City is the gate of our Hanwang army, and there must be no mistakes." Sure enough, the hundred households with the highest official positions are also the most enlightened: "Stop complaining, let the general hear it, and it will be another one. Tun board..."

"Okay, don't let me chat, I'll drink... the water will be done." That always took out a water bag from his arms, and sipped it in small sips.

"What's the smell?!" A soldier sitting downwind suddenly sniffled and said with a very exciting expression: "It seems to be..."

"Wine!" Baihu also sensed the trick, grabbed the whole water bag, put it to his mouth, took a sip, and immediately said in a low voice, "You don't want to live!" Drinking alcohol is not allowed in the army during wartime. Not to mention patrolling the city, it would be a capital offense for any army.

"Hey..." Mr. Ba said with a nonchalant smile, "Go to Han, they are all my brothers, so why are you so serious?"

"..." Baihu's complexion changed several times, and finally made up his mind, and whispered: "Drink it quickly!" After speaking, he took a sip and passed it to the person next to him.

"Leave me some..." Everyone took a sip one by one, passing wine bags, and their expressions were quite relaxed.

He got a little tipsy from drinking the pot, and stood up while leaning on the city wall.

"What are you going to do?" the person next to him asked in a low voice.

"Pee." Boss Baba laughed.

"Go away."

"Hehe..." President Ba didn't listen at all, and after taking two steps, he supported the arrow stack with one hand, untied his trouser belt with the other hand, and began to piss.

"******, what a bad smell, you're on fire!" Someone scolded, causing everyone to laugh, but they couldn't hear the general retort.

Baihu glanced at Bo Zong strangely, and saw that he was still in the posture of urinating, but he couldn't urinate for a long time. He was pointing out of the city, his face was full of panic, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound in a hurry. .

An ominous premonition arose in Baihu's heart, and he hurriedly got up to look, and was shocked out of his wits - in the darkness, a huge army had silently marched to the moat, only a few feet away from the riverside!

"The city is under attack! The enemy is attacking the city!" Baihu's mournful shouts pierced the still quiet night sky!
'Dangdangdangdang! The sound of police gongs resounded across the city, and the defenders rushed to their respective posts, stringed the crossbow, heated the vegetable oil, and pushed the rolling stone and wood onto the arrow stack.The preparations for defending the city are not yet ready, the crossbowmen of the King of Han Army have already drawn their bows and arrows, shooting the first wave of bows and arrows!
'Whoosh whoosh! 'With the sound of piercing through the air, the sharp feather arrows shot at the overwhelming enemy troops!By the moat, there are enemies everywhere, there is no need to aim, and it is impossible to aim, because it is a dark night!
'Ah ah ah ah! 'The screams of the Qingzhou Army suddenly rang out!
The archers raised their bows and arrows again, and started the second round of shooting!Moreover, this round of shooting was mixed with a lot of rockets. While killing the enemy, those arrows wrapped in cotton cloth and stained with pine oil burned blazingly, and also illuminated the battlefield below the city for the defenders at the top of the city.

In the shadows, you can vaguely see the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army keep falling down with arrows, and people keep coming up. These soldiers are holding up the huge bamboo rafts, rushing forward one after another, rushing towards the moat!

At this time, Wang Bin rushed over after hearing the news, quickly climbed to the top of the city, checked the situation below the city, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the Qianhu Road in charge of this section of the city wall in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the enemy army?!"

"It's too dark to see clearly, but the three city walls were attacked at the same time, Liu Xin should be mobilized!" After the thousand households reported back, they said loudly: "Don't worry, general, we found the enemy in time and the defense system is in operation. Good, no matter how many enemies he has, he can't shake us!"

"Don't be careless! I'm afraid they will have tricks!" Wang Bin supported the cold city wall and scanned the overwhelming Qingzhou army vigilantly. It's not good - Qingzhou Army's siege time is too weird, why choose it in the middle of the night? !Could it be that the opponent's general is so stupid that he doesn't even understand the most common military knowledge?I don't know that although the sight of the defenders is affected in the dark, the weakening of the attackers is all-round!
"General, worry too much," said the thousand households, pointing to the bamboo raft held up by the Qingzhou Army below the city, "Looking at their crude armor, you know that the Qingzhou Army is not in the same rank as us!"

Before Qianhu finished speaking, they saw the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army rush to the edge of the moat, plunge the bamboo rafts into the water, and then jumped into the water one after another, using their shoulders to hold the sides of the bamboo rafts. Bamboo bridge with human body as pier!
Immediately, elite soldiers in heavy armor and holding spears and axes rushed to the other side on those bamboo bridges, using spears and axes to destroy the roadblocks set up by the King of Han Army on the inside of the moat!

Qianhu was speechless with his mouth open. He is an old man of the King of Han Army. No matter how good he is, he still has good eyesight. Just based on the actions of the Qingzhou Army just now, he knows that the opponent's training level is by no means superior to his own. Down!

But when he took a closer look, Qianhu laughed again, because he saw that although the elites of the White Lotus Sect were fully armed, they were missing one key piece of equipment...

"Ridiculous!" Qianhu, who had just been slapped in the face, came back to his senses, and belittled Qingzhou Army again: "There is no ladder, attacking a city! Are you going to fly up?!"

"Release the rolling stone and wood!" Wang Bin gave the order decisively.

"Ah?" Qianhu said in surprise: "General, this will destroy our own fortifications!" According to the pre-plan, the rolling stones and trees were not put down until the enemy had destroyed the fortifications under the city wall and began to climb the city wall.If the rolling stones are released in advance, the horses and the like set up by the King of Han Army will be destroyed.

"Didn't you hear what I said!" Wang Bin roared, "Quickly let me go!"

"Yes!" Qianhu shrank his head in fright, and quickly ordered loudly: "Put the rolling stone!"

Accompanied by his order, the guarding soldiers pushed down the rolling stones and wood piled on the arrow stacks, and the big logs as thick as buckets and the huge stones as big as millstones rolled down from the city. Hurry back, but it's too late!Many soldiers were smashed into meat paste on the spot, and many soldiers jumped into the river hastily, but were tired by the iron armor on their bodies, and sank to the bottom in a blink of an eye!

Even the pontoon bridge was smashed by rolling stones and trees, and the arrogance of the Qingzhou army was beaten down in one fell swoop!
Seeing that the Qingzhou Army was stunned, Qianhu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The general used all his strength to fight the rabbit, he was too cautious!"

"Fighting at night, be careful not to make big mistakes." Seeing that the Qingzhou Army's momentum was suppressed, Wang Bin's uneasiness finally eased a lot, and he said slowly: "As for the smashed fortifications, I will send people down to rebuild them tomorrow."

"The general is wise, this subordinate has been educated!" Qianhu nodded like pecking rice.
