Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 656 "Enemy Attack...Enemy Attack..."

While Zhang Liao was preparing for the night attack, the sky gradually darkened unknowingly.

Zhang Liao sent scouts outside to monitor Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army to send back information from time to time, so that Zhang Liao could know the general status of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army camp.

At midnight, Zhang Liao made all the preparations and walked out of the army camp with three thousand Bingzhou elites.

For a while, with the horse's bit and the person's body, no one would make any noise easily. Even the horse's hoof was wrapped with thick cloth to reduce the noise caused by the horse's hoof.

Everyone didn't light up the torches, but under the leadership of some people who could see at night, they slowly moved towards Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army village under the luminous sky.

Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng also walked in the front, followed by the three hundred Bingzhou iron cavalry, but now in order to save the energy of the horses, all the cavalry also led the horses.

After walking like this for less than half an hour, they gradually approached the camp set up by Liu Bei and Zang Ba.

Here is also a barren field near the Sishui River, surrounded by abandoned fields that have already grown weeds, and some temporarily felled trees were used to build a simple camp wall.

If you look at it during the day, you can still see that most of the wooden fences that make up the camp wall have a bit of damp juice, and at night, there is only a smell of grass and trees coming from the wind.

According to the report from the previous scouts, although Liu Bei and Zang Ba's armies were stationed in one camp, they were divided into left and right blocks.

Between the two armies is the main tent of the army. However, neither Liu Bei nor Zang Ba lived in the main tent. They returned to the tents where their respective armies were stationed at night. Obviously Liu Bei and Zang Ba were on guard against each other and there was no real reason. without fear.

However, to be honest, there are very few large woodlands around Pengcheng that can be cut down for wood.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice before, he also launched siege and siege battles against Pengcheng. Therefore, Cao Jun also cut down a lot of trees around Pengcheng for use. Naturally, the trees that would take more than ten or hundreds of years to recover were not so much. Many can be harvested.

Now the coalition forces brought by Liu Bei and Zang Ba can barely find some trees to use.

After all, the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Zang Ba add up to nearly 3 people. Even though there may not be many regular soldiers, there may be more than 1 people who are actually young and strong civilians, but after all, there are so many people who need to be accommodated in camps. Naturally, the wood needed to build the camp is indispensable.

For this reason, it is often necessary to cut down all the trees in a forest land to meet the needs of building a camp.

Now Liu Bei and Zang Ba obviously don’t have enough wood to build their camps, so the camp walls they built are not very thick, and there are not many deer, firewood and horse barriers outside the camp walls, so that the soldiers and horses that attack at night can easily get close to the camp. .

Of course, although the defense of this camp is insufficient, Liu Bei and Zang Ba still prepared a lot of people on the sentry towers in the camp to guard against possible foreign enemies around them.

But this kind of warning is still effective during the day. Now that it is night, the line of sight is naturally limited.

The night soldiers on the sentry tower couldn't see too far away at all. After a certain distance, the surroundings were completely dark. By the time they could see people, they were basically within two or three hundred steps of the camp.

This is also Zhang Liao's confidence to attack at night.

When Zhang Liao led his troops to a mile away from the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba, he stopped first, and then sent one or two hundred elite soldiers led by Hou Cheng to advance towards the camp.

As for Zhang Liao and the three hundred cavalry, they were ready to mount their horses at any time. They only waited for Hou Cheng to open a wall of the camp, and then led more than 500 other soldiers to charge into the camp.

Let’s talk about Hou Cheng’s side for now. Hou Cheng led his people quickly to the direction of Liu Bei and Zang Ba’s camps, and soon saw the camp walls illuminated by bonfires around the camps, and at the same time saw four or five sentries in the camps. Soldiers standing in the tower.

There are usually five soldiers in this sentry tower. Under the supervision of the corporal leader, the other four soldiers each find a direction to watch, and they are not lazy or dozing off.

Seeing this scene, Hou Cheng carefully led his people to approach the range of about [-] paces outside the camp, then threw himself on the ground, and quickly crawled towards the wall of the camp.

This can also reduce the possibility of being discovered. Obviously Hou Cheng is very good at this kind of sneak attack. The soldiers brought by Hou Cheng were equally quick, and they all leaned against a camp wall without making much movement. face.

Hou Cheng looked inside through the gap in the wooden fence of the camp wall. There were many tents inside, and many bonfires were burned for lighting. Occasionally, some patrolling soldiers walked through. It seemed that the troops inside were already trapped. sleep.

Hou Cheng was also relieved a lot. It didn't seem like there was an ambush. Then he tried to push the camp wall, and felt that the camp wall was shaking a little, obviously not having a very stable foundation.

This gave Hou Cheng some confidence, so Hou Cheng used the light of the campfire to call on the soldiers around him to push against the camp wall together.

"Crash..."

As Hou Cheng and his men rushed against the camp wall, it was not long before the camp wall was knocked over by the combined force of everyone. For a moment, the surrounding camp walls were affected, and they fell directly into the interior of the camp.

In one direction of the camp, a gap of at least a hundred steps was opened, enough for the army to charge in from here.

"Enemy attack...Enemy attack..."

This movement was immediately noticed by the soldiers on the sentry tower, so shouts rang out, and then the harsh gongs of "dang dang dang" also sounded, alarming Liu Bei and Zang Ba's troops in the camp.

"Kill!"

Hearing the movement ahead, Zhang Liao got on his horse and pointed at the camp in front with his saber in his hand. He led the 500 Bingzhou cavalry and more than [-] soldiers behind him and killed them.

"Go, go!"

From Zhang Liao's place to the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba was only one mile in a straight line, so it didn't take long for Zhang Liao to rush to the breach of the camp with [-] cavalry.

At this moment, Zhang Liao didn't wait for the pawns at all, but rushed forward with the three hundred Bingzhou cavalry.

When Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp broke through, Zhang Liao saw Hou Cheng with one or two hundred people, still staying here to support them, and did not go inside.

Apparently Hou Cheng still lacked a bit of desperate heart, but he was just going to wait for Zhang Liao to lead his troops before he went in.

Judging from the situation inside the camp, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army seemed to be in chaos due to the night attack. After many soldiers in the tent got up, they just ran around randomly, not as if they were prepared. look.

Of course, at this time, Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng didn't know whether the camp area they had broken through was Liu Bei's army or Zang Ba's army, but seeing the situation in Neizhong, they were less suspicious...
