Chapter 424 Night Attack
"No, I believe that General Yang will never betray me to conquer the Northern Army." Li Xin said with a smile on his face, waving his hands with a smile.Zhang Cai, who was sitting on the side, also nodded.Yang Tao forced Liu Qian to death, and he himself was not tolerated by the court. Jiang Guan wanted to eat his flesh, so how could he surrender?More importantly, Yang Tao is now commanding the imperial guards of the North Army. Such an army only obeys Li Xin's orders. Even Zhao Guang and other generals would not be able to mobilize the imperial guards without Li Xin's orders.It was also because of this that Li Xin boldly let Yang Tao go there without worrying that Yang Tao would collude with Fan Tong. In this way, Li Xin also gained Yang Tao's loyalty, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

"Young master is honest." Gao Meng muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Cai shook his head, if Li Xin was honest, there would be no more cunning people in this world.In the whole world, who doesn't say that Li Xin is insidious and cunning, and even dares to deceive the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.The construction of a hero cemetery immediately collected hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even the troops of Jiannu and the court were in turmoil.The soldiers and horses who killed Hukou took refuge in Li Xin and sacrificed for killing Hukou. On the one hand, it was because of the money, but also because of Li Xin's hero cemetery.

"Okay, now let's talk about this Mayinghe Fort. It's really not that easy to kill [-] soldiers and horses!" Although Li Xin spoke heavily, everyone could feel it. Believe it or look very relaxed.

Mayinghe Fort is famous because it is located by the Maying River. The Maying River is the Red River near Shahukou. The Red River flows through Youyu County and is called the Cangtou River. The Cangtou River stretches for hundreds of miles. One branch is the Ma camp river.Maying Hebao is located in Maying Hebei, which is why Li Xin dared to attack Hu Guoding at night.

"My lord, the opponent is only 2 people, and 1 people under my command can destroy it." Gao Meng said loudly.

"Gao Meng, although our imperial guards are the best in the world, we can't underestimate the opponent in battle, otherwise we will be in bad luck one day." Li Xin frowned and taught.

"My lord, my subordinates think that 1 people are enough." It was Hao Laosan who spoke, and he lowered his head and stood up.

"Why, why did General Hao say that?" Li Xin asked curiously: "Hu Guoding is a general under Jiang Yu's command. He fought bravely. He is in command of an army of [-]. It may be very difficult to attack at night!"

"My lord doesn't know something. Hu Guoding has no other hobbies. He likes to listen to operas the most. If he doesn't listen to operas for a day, he will be irritable. I heard that he specially raised a Huadan in the camp and asked her to sing to Hu Guoding every day." Listen. My subordinates have heard that a team has come to Mayinghe recently, and if there are no accidents, Hu Guoding must be in Mayinghe, not in the barracks."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Xin looked at Hao Laosan curiously, but never thought that Hao Laosan knew a lot.

"There is a music building in Mayinghe Village, which is well-known around here. Hu Guoding must be in that place." Hao Laosan said without thinking.This made Li Xin nod his head. Although Hu Guoding raised a Huadan in the big camp, the military camp is a military camp. If there is a music building, it is much more convenient to listen to operas there than in the camp.

"If that's the case, it's a good opportunity." Li Xin nodded and said, "Zhao Guang, lead an army of 2 people to attack Ma Yinghe Hu Guoding. I will fight for the general personally."

"Thank you, my lord." Zhao Guang looked at Hao Laosan and said: "The last general wants to invite Hao Laosan to go with the last general." Hao Laosan is the local snake who killed Hukou, and he knows the surrounding geographical conditions, mountains, rivers and rivers like the palm of his hand.In the dark night, letting Hao Laosan follow around can just help Zhao Guang pick up the leftovers and fill in the vacancy that Zhao Guang is not familiar with Shahukou.

"Yes." Li Xin nodded, and said to Zhao Guang: "Tell the brothers, I will personally celebrate the victory for them." Thinking about it, he didn't know that Li Xin's army was coming, so he was caught off guard.You know, killing Hukou is extremely important. If Li Xin guesses right, whether it is Jiang Yu or Hu Guoding, they will pay attention to the situation of Shahukou. Maybe tomorrow, someone will find that Shahukou has been killed by Li Xin. letter seized.So Li Xin was forced to attack Hu Guoding's [-] troops in the middle of the night, which was a blow to Jiang Yu.

In the dark night, another [-] elite soldiers from the Beibei Army, who had just rested for an hour, gathered together. Under the leadership of Zhao Guang and Hao Laosan, they went out of Shahukou and charged towards Maying Hebao. Flowing slowly, Zhao Guang was wearing armor and holding a bright silver spear in his hand, walking slowly in the front of the army. Behind him, the [-] elite soldiers were also silent, even the horses were tied with thick cloth around their feet. They made them walk silently, with a pen in their mouths, walking along the banks of the Cangtou River, without making any sound, and even if there were sounds, they were blocked by drinking water.

"In front of the general is the Maying River Fort." Within an hour, Zhao Guang and others found a huge dock in front of him, and there were many dim lights on it. Of course, Zhao Guang did not pay attention to the Maying River in the distance. Instead, he looked at a large camp in the distance. Although it was far away, he could still hear the neighing of war horses and a faint noise.

"It's so bold that you didn't send out even the nights." Zhao Guang shook his head. Zhao Guang was very surprised that he didn't find any nights for such a long journey from Shahukou to Mayinghebao in an hour. , this kind of situation is absolutely not allowed in the North Army.

"There is still some distance between here and Shahukou, what's more, there is Shahukou in front of him to resist, if there is an enemy coming, the first one to fight is Shahukou, which is enough for them to react." Hao Laosan was on the side Said softly.After traveling this way, he finally knew what a real elite soldier was. Tens of thousands of people marched at night, but none of them fell behind, let alone made a noise.It was as quiet as a ghost, which shocked Hao Laosan extremely.But they don’t know that marching at night is nothing in the North Army. Although people in this era suffer from night blindness due to lack of nutrition, they just get rid of Li Xin’s army and come to this world. What a heaven-defying weapon, but you still know the most basic thing about marching and fighting. Night combat is a must-have quality for an army. How could Li Xin discard it?
"How can such a barracks need 5000 elites? It only takes [-] people to attack." Zhao Guang looked at the camp in the distance with a little moonlight, and finally shook his head in disappointment.

But he didn't notice the excited look on the face of Hao Laosan beside him. This person is also a smart person. Before he went to the expedition, he had inquired about Zhao Guang's origin. However, his identity is very special. He is the sworn brother of Dong Xiaowan, the wife of Li Xin, the Duke of Liao, and escorts him all the way to the south. If Li Xin really reads the world in the future, he will be the uncle of the dynasty. , this person was deeply trusted by Li Xin, and Hao Laosan immediately decided to stick by Zhao Guang's side.

"General, is it possible to enter the camp?" Hao Laosan also drew out the long knife from his waist. This long knife was shining coldly and was extremely impressive. Bragging in front of him, saying that his ancestor was the famous general Hao Xie during the Three Kingdoms period, and that his precious sword was inherited from his ancestors, but no one believed it in the entire Shahukou.

"Of course it is." Zhao Guang said disdainfully: "Such a big camp, it is extremely easy to charge and kill. I am afraid that there is no force to resist it. Remember that after entering, light a torch and burn the big camp. You don't need to kill many enemies. The more chaos the camp has, the better."

"The villain understands." Hao Laosan nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely excited.Following Liu Qian, these years are just bullying the passing merchants. In the vicinity of Shahukou, with Li Xin capturing the entire grassland, the war has been far away from Shahukou for many years, and Lin Dan Khan did not attack back then. Kill Hukou.At this time, when the war came, Hao Laosan felt extremely excited in his heart.

"Light it up." Zhao Guang suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and in an instant, the soldiers behind him lit the torches in their hands, and in an instant, a long dragon appeared on the vast grassland.

"Attack." Zhao Guang clamped his horse under his crotch, and the sound of killing instantly shook the sky. The [-] army was like a tiger, and charged towards the camp by the Maying River.

The soldiers of the Mayinghe camp had already discovered that someone was attacking when the torches were lit, but when the torches in front of them were all over the mountains and plains, they were stunned and forgot to ring the gong for warning. It was only when people were within a stone's throw of an arrow that they suddenly remembered that there were bursts of shrill voices resounding over the camp.

It's a pity that these people's reminders did not change the direction of the matter all at once. Just as Hao Laosan guessed, Hu Guoding, the leader of the Maying River camp, was not in the camp, but entered the Maying River camp. Fort, the so-called general has what kind of soldiers. In the entire Mayinghe camp, how vigilant are they when they lose their general?What's more, what is this place? It is Mayinghe Fort, and there are forts such as Shahu Fort and Canhu Fort in front of it. If the enemy attacks, they will first take down the two forts in front. None. By the time some low-level generals such as Zong Zong and Qian Zong came to their senses, Zhao Guang had already led the army through the gate and entered the camp.

These people are all veterans of many battles, so they naturally know how to expand the results of battles. I saw that after these people entered the camp, they were not busy killing the enemy, but threw the time torches in their hands into the tent. Flames shot up to the sky. After the first round of fire prevention, [-] troops rushed into the enemy's central army and killed them in all directions. Poor these soldiers, some of them went to bed early because the main general was not there, and some of them even went to bed early. They were stealing wine and drinking, and for a while, they were not prepared for the cavalry soldiers who conquered the Northern Army. They couldn't find the soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find the generals. The camp was in chaos, and they didn't even have any resistance. Unexpectedly, Li Xin sneaked into Shahukou, and the other troops hadn't reacted yet. In Mayinghebao, Hu Guoding was not in the camp, and the army lacked command, how could it deal with Zhao Guang's attack.Although there was a little resistance, it was not Zhao Guang's opponent. The cavalry quickly crushed him and wiped him out.

"Happy, happy." Hao Laosan kept slashing and killing, with excitement on his face, maybe these people are his robes, but now he is a member of the Zhengbei Army, these people are enemies, killing these people is military exploits.Hao Laosan has never felt so brave like today, the ancestral sword has shown its supernatural power here, and there are almost no enemies under his command.

Zhao Guang in the distance accidentally saw the appearance of Hao Laosan, and he couldn't help but nodded. It's not that there were no people in the Ming Dynasty army, but these people were not easy to be found, just like Li Zicheng, if Chongzhen could cultivate him back then , this person is a handsome talent, and he will not end up wanting the power of the Ming Dynasty.The same is true for Hao Laosan in front of him.

In Mayinghe Fort, located in the difficult position of the fort, there is a tall building standing tall, facing south and north, with three rooms in width and depth, divided into front and back, left and right are divided into an open room and two small rooms.The structure of Lelou is unique and exquisite, and the wood carvings and brick carvings are exquisite and elegant.It is a rare boutique. At this time, there were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds in the building, as well as bursts of applause.In the middle of the building, a bearded officer was sitting there, and there was a petite beauty in his arms, who was leaning against him, stuffing a kumquat into his mouth from time to time.Surrounded by some garrison officers, Li Zheng was waiting for the locals from Mayinghebao to accompany them.

At this time, the sound of war horses came from the official road, and then the gate of the theater was knocked open. Hu Guoding frowned, found a soldier, and pointed to the back. The soldier was about to leave.

"It's not good, where is the military gate, where is the military gate?" At this time, there was a sound of crying and mourning, and the entire theater was silent, and they all looked towards the entrance.

"What's so flustered?" Hu Guoding looked at the messenger angrily. When he heard Shu Shuang, the above selection was his favorite one, but he was disturbed by the guy in front of him. At this time, Hu Guoding had the urge to kill.

"When you go back to the military gate, the camp outside the city is in chaos, and the shouts of killing are loud. The villain is on duty at night, so he dare not neglect, so hurry up and report." It turned out that this guy was on the top of the city. , hurried over to report to Hu Guoding.

"Report, report, military gate, the northern army is attacking the camp, and the camp is about to be overwhelmed." At this moment, another person broke in. The wound was dripping with blood, and more importantly, the black hair didn't even have a helmet, and there was a burst of burnt smell.

"What, how did the Zhengbei Army pass the killing of Hukou? Why is there no news at all? Could it be that they flew over?" Hu Guoding was stunned by the repeated news, and he never thought of Li Xin's Zhengbei. The army actually appeared in Mayinghebao and attacked its own camp.

"Junmen, it's better to go and have a look." The defense of Mayinghe Fort is also pale. Since the Zhengbei Army has appeared in the Mayinghe Camp, it means that the Zhengbei Army has already occupied Shahukou, the next one The goal is his own Mayinghe Fort, and then Zuoyun and Youyu counties.There are not many elite soldiers in Mayinghe Fort itself. Can this stop Li Xin's attack?There is no bottom in the defense. If Hu Guoding's [-] troops can be kept, there may be a glimmer of hope, but is it possible?
Hu Guoding also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried out of the theater building. At this time, he had no interest at all. He only wanted to know the situation of the Maying River camp. No one knew the situation of the Maying River camp better than him. It is a mistake in itself, once the enemy attacks, if they cannot fight with their backs, they will surely die.No wonder he was like this, no one knew that Li Xin's army was so sharp and occupied the mouth of the killer so quickly, and even a little news did not come out. No, they went directly to the Mayinghe Camp.Hu Guoding could even guess that the [-] army without a leader is the fate of being hacked and killed.

After a while, he went up to the city wall of Mayinghe Fort. The city wall was very high. He stood high and looked far away. He could only see the flames rising from the sky above the Mayinghe camp. There were bursts of screams, which were the wailing of a dying person.

"General, what should we do now?" The garrison looked terrified. They usually garrison this place. They are basically old local military households. Basically, there is no real ability to fish for oil and water.

"General, brothers are fighting in the big camp, please lead the army to rescue." The soldier who just reported the letter knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"I want to save it too, but unfortunately, I am powerless now. Even if Sun Wu is reborn, it is impossible to save these people." Hu Guoding was full of remorse, and he wanted to save them too. These people are his soldiers, enough There are as many as 2 people. If these people are all captured, Hu Guoding really doesn't know how to go back to Jiang Tuan!

It's a pity that the reality is cruel. Hu Guoding knew that even if he went back by himself at this time, he might be powerless. The camp was in chaos, and there was no establishment at all. If they are scattered, there will be no chance to practice self-protection by then.

"However, how much can be saved!" The soldier still dissuaded: "Since the Northern Zheng Army came to attack the Mayinghe Camp, the next one is the Mayinghe Fort. If there are not enough soldiers, how can the Mayinghe Fort be defended?" ?”
