Chapter 686 (1/2)

That night, the night was dark, as if there was a huge black curtain covering the moon and stars, almost unable to see five fingers. After a period of time, people's eyes adapt to the darkness outside, in order to roughly distinguish things.

”Go down!”

”Be quiet and quiet.”

One by one, Cao's soldiers grabbed the ropes and let down the city one after another. If the city gate was opened, the enemy troops outside the city would be disturbed. Therefore, if you want to sneak out of the city quietly, you need to take the method of letting the city down. At the beginning, the army of Qin and Jin Dynasty besieged the state of Zheng, and Zhu Zhiwu, a senior official of the state of Zheng, met with Qin Jun secretly, It's the city that you let down.

One by one, the soldiers swished down the rope and stood under the head of the city with agility. After a while, more than 100 people gathered. They were all the elite soldiers in XiahouDun's army with murderous faces and complete equipment.

When attacking the enemy camp at night, it is natural to select elite soldiers. XiahouDun opened the storehouse, took out 20 jars of wine and 200 Jin of meat to reward the soldiers, and selected 500 sharp soldiers in the army as the main candidates for the night attack on the enemy camp.

Bang.

After a dull noise, a one eyed general jumped down from the city and slowly walked to the front of 500 elite soldiers and looked at them.

He said in a low voice: ”all of you are elite soldiers in the army. This battle must show the style of elite soldiers, otherwise you will be demoted when you go back.”

These Cao soldiers were all elite soldiers, so everyone was naturally dressed in armor, but no army in the Eastern Han Dynasty could do all of them. The wealthier the princes under his command, the more financial resources they had, the more armor they would naturally have. If these Cao troops were stripped of their armor, they would not only lose face, but also be in danger of war on the battlefield. Having armor would mean more lives.

Five hundred sharps roared: ”I will follow Xia Hou general to death!”

XiahouDun nodded with satisfaction, turned around, took the horse behind him, and whispered, ”go!”

All the horses in the army had wrapped their hooves with strips of cloth and held sticks in their mouths to avoid making noises. Five hundred people were quiet and did not dare to make a sound. It was a high-risk job to attack the enemy camp at night. If it was exposed, it would be hard to say how many of them could go back alive.

Under the leadership of XiahouDun, the five hundred soldiers approached the barracks of the forbidden army quietly, but the closer they got, the deeper Xia Houdun's brow became.

”Damn it, it's so strict to guard against Yu ban...”

Xia Houdun could see that the camp set up by Yu ban was stable and solid. After the gate of the camp, there is an archery tower every 50 steps. There are more than ten archery towers on the camp which is several miles long. There are soldiers fighting with open fire on each arrow tower.

Outside the gate of the camp, the cut wood is tied together to form sharp antlers. If the soldiers do not approve the armour, they will be trapped on the spot. When the horses face the sharp antlers, they often dare not charge.

Xia Hou Dun frowned, and Ma Lu, the Military Secretary beside him, inquired: ”general, the enemy's defense seems to be very strict. Will our army continue?”

Xia Hou Dun pondered for a while, and his face showed a fierce look: ”attack!”

”The more heavily the enemy's defense is, the more we assume that our troops will definitely not attack us, but our army will do the opposite!”

Lu Zhao suddenly realized, arched his hand and said, ”what the general said is very true. I will be taught at the end.”

”The general has orders. Prepare for a surprise attack.”

Lu Zhao roared, and the five hundred sharps grasped their weapons one after another. They looked at the barracks in front of the forbidden army like fierce wolves.

”Kill!”

Xia Hou Dun roared, stepped on his horse, and went forward with his armor and gun. More than 500 soldiers roared in unison. The formation was loose, as if a fire scattered all over the sky and killed the opposite camp.

All of a sudden, there was a loud noise. Naturally, the soldiers on duty were the first to find the enemy troops. After being startled, they immediately took up drumsticks and pounded the gongs.

Dangdang!
