PNB Chapter 111 Night Attack
Chapter 111 Night Attack
"boom!"
Inside a tent.
Marquis Anding's face was filled with anger and he slammed his hands on the table.
He leaned forward and looked at the generals who followed him into the tent with sharp eyes.
"How on earth did the scouts gather this information? They couldn't even detect the enemy ambushes on either side."
General Cao took a small step forward, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Based on the current situation, these enemy troops should be reinforcements sent from the rear."
"When we first engaged them, their force was approximately 30,000. Over the past few months, they have suffered countless casualties. However, judging from today's situation, the enemy's force has not decreased in strength and is, in fact, no less than 30,000."
"It seems... they have been sending more troops."
Marquis Anding naturally knew about such things.
He was just angry that he had to end his first battle in such a disastrous manner. How could he establish his authority? Moreover, the enemy he faced was a woman.
Thinking of this, he slowly straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at them.
"You have been fighting the enemy for a long time. Do you know anything about their lord, Yun Zhi, and her fighting style?"
Speaking of Yun Zhi, General Cao's expression grew increasingly serious. "She's so unpredictable, it's impossible to predict what she'll do next."
General He nodded in agreement. "He's also extremely treacherous and capable of any treacherous tricks."
"But fortunately, no matter how powerful they are, their foundation is shallow. The reason they were able to win so easily before was mainly because they fell into her trap."
Having said this, he glanced at Wu and Liu.
Wu Zhong naturally knew what this meant.
He raised his hand and bowed to the Marquis of Anding. "This time, I was truly confused for a moment, causing a rift between me and General Liu at this critical moment. I hope the Marquis will give me a chance. I will definitely be able to atone for my sins."
In fact, Marquis Anding said this when he first arrived.
What made Wu Zhong feel fortunate was that the Marquis did not believe the rumors and thought that he had really surrendered.
Otherwise, the whole family will probably be executed.
Seeing someone expressing his loyalty like a lackey, Liu Guangzhi snorted in his heart.
"I am also willing to atone for my sins."
Marquis Anding touched the jade ring on his thumb, his expression unclear.
"Well, I naturally trust you. Now let's talk about what we should do next."
"In my opinion, it's better to marry her. It's a blessing for her, an ordinary girl, to marry the Marquis. If it were before, she wouldn't even have the chance to see the Marquis."
General Cao glanced at Liu Guangzhi who had said this, "Since she has chosen to revolt, I think she will be difficult to control. She won't agree."
Marquis Anding frowned slightly. Although he had the same idea, he also knew that this kind of woman was arrogant, conceited and difficult to tame.
If I bring up this matter now, I'm afraid it will provoke her desperate resistance and attack.
But, he didn't mind being the one to break her wings.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Now we should focus on the war and think about how to retake the lost territory."
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, General Cao spoke up, "In my opinion, we might as well adopt the strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory."
"General Cao, what's your plan to lure the enemy deep into your territory?"
"We can feign defeat and retreat, lure them into pursuit, set up an ambush along the way, and catch them off guard. However, this decoy force must be carefully selected to make the enemy believe that we are truly defeated and fleeing."
Marquis Anding nodded slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "This plan is feasible. Do you have any other strategies?"
At this time, Wu Zhong, who was standing nearby, said, "My Lord, I think we can divide our troops into several groups. One group will lure the enemy, while the others wait for an opportunity to strike. That way, even if the plan to lure the enemy fails, we will have other options."
Marquis Anding nodded. "This proposal has its merits, but after dividing the troops, the coordination between the various forces must be seamless, otherwise they will be easily defeated one by one."
While they were discussing heatedly, Yun Zhi was also discussing countermeasures.
"The Marquis of Anding wants to attack the city. I wonder what method he'll use? Will he lure us out to fight, cut off our food supply, or perhaps even use fire?"
Yun Zhi looked at Li Shun, who was guessing what strategy Marquis Anding would use, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her eyes becoming sharp.
"No matter what method they use, it will take time to prepare. So why should we just sit here and wait for death? Why not take the initiative and kill them by surprise?"
"My Lord, you mean..."
Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun looked at each other and said in unison: "Night attack!"
Yun Zhi didn't answer yes or no, but just looked in the direction of the enemy.
After a moment, "They should be discussing countermeasures under the bright lights right now."
Chen Yuanshu understood Yun Zhi's intention and continued, "A night attack at this time will definitely catch them by surprise and disrupt their deployment."
No matter what strategies the enemy uses, as long as they get one step ahead, they can prevent the enemy's strategies from being implemented.
It is now midnight and all around is silent.
Now that the tactics have been decided, they must be executed immediately.
Li Shun bowed to Yun Zhi and said, "Then General Chen and I will go down and make the arrangements."
"Go ahead. There shouldn't be too many people."
"Yes."
It’s a dark and windy night, a murderous night.
When Yun Zhi led three thousand people to the place where the enemy camped, it was already Chou time.
Bonfires were lit everywhere, lighting up the surroundings.
At this time, there were only a few tents still with lights on, and most of them were already pitch black.
Having just experienced a battle a few hours ago, most of the soldiers were already fast asleep.
Only a few soldiers were still patrolling diligently.
It’s just that everyone is just forcing themselves to be energetic.
A soldier on patrol tightened his rifle, yawned, and rubbed his sore eyes. "I don't know when I can change shifts. I'm so sleepy."
The person beside him also yawned and patted his shoulder, "Hold on a little longer, it's our turn to rest in half an hour."
"Ah."
Just as they were chatting to refresh themselves, a dark shadow approached them, and before they could react, its neck was instantly broken.
After the two men fell, the black shadow quickly dragged their bodies away.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Yun family army were scattered everywhere to deal with the enemy.
Aside.
Yun Zhi stood quietly on a high place, overlooking everything that was happening below.
The silent fight is still going on quietly.
"Lord."
"how?"
"We've found where they store their food supplies. There are five locations in total. They are heavily guarded and difficult to approach."
"Use bows and arrows, and retreat immediately after the fire is lit."
"Yes."
On the other side, the Yun family army hiding in the dark took out the bows and arrows on their backs after receiving Yun Zhi's order.
Because the feather arrowhead was covered with grease, it ignited immediately when it came into contact with fire.
Aim and shoot.
Several feathered arrows flew towards the tent where the food and fodder were stored.
The fire caught fire as soon as it hit the tent.
In an instant, the fire spread rapidly, lighting up half of the sky.
The enemy camp suddenly fell into chaos, and the soldiers ran around shouting in panic.
The people of the Yun family army fled immediately after shooting that arrow.
After all, wouldn't it be a waste of three thousand people to attack the 50,000 awakened enemy troops?
Now that we have burned their food supplies, it is considered a success, so of course we have to retreat first.
The enemy army has no food and supplies, let’s see what they will do next.
