Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 29 Night Attack
Song Jun's actions in this way made the defenders in Jinyang City even more frightened, not knowing what Song Jun was doing.Someone suggested to Emperor Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty that no matter what the purpose of the Song army was, there must be a trick for them to set up camp under the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and they might as well send troops to destroy the fortifications and camps of the Song people.Even if some people came out to object, they brought up the old story of Guo Wei's attack on Jinyang City, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, saying that Zhao Kuangyin was imitating the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty's strategy of exhausting troops, and we must not fall into the enemy's tricks. That is.

Guo Wuwei sent a messenger and was waiting for a reply these days. He didn't want to say anything more, but suddenly he thought that Liu Jiye, the commander in chief of the Northern Han Army, was quite strategic. He was worried that his relationship with Song Li Yingwai would be seen through in the future, and he became murderous in his heart. , He took the initiative to leave the class and said: "Your Majesty! What the colleagues said are all reasonable, it is better to choose a compromise and send a brave and strategic general to attack the enemy camp at night to harass the Song army."

After finishing speaking, he winked at one of his confidant ministers next to him, and the minister came out of the shift and said: "Among the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, General Liu Jiye is naturally the bravest and has excellent strategies. It is better to let General Liu lead the elite troops." Going out of the city to attack the Song camp at night will definitely achieve the purpose of attrition and exhaustion of the enemy's army."

Mrs. Liu is a descendant of the Shatuo people. At the beginning, the Shatuo people were mercenaries of the Tang Dynasty. They were repeatedly recruited by the Tang Dynasty to conquer the world for the Tang Dynasty. ten years.

However, now this Liu Jiyuan was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. He has neither the bravery nor the wisdom of his ancestors. The opinions of the ministers seem to him to be fair and reasonable, but he himself does not. It was a decisive idea. Now that Guo Wuwei and the two had justified what they said, they accepted their opinions.General Liu Jiye was ordered to attack the enemy camp at night to disturb the Song army.

Liu Jiye is the No.1 general of the Northern Han Army. His original surname is Yang, and his name is Yang Chonggui. Yang Chongxun of Linzhou, one of the two major powers in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, is his younger brother.Yang Chongxun originally belonged to the Northern Han Dynasty, but after the rise of the Song Dynasty and its influence in the northwest, Yang Chongxun joined the Song Dynasty, but his elder brother Yang Chonggui still supported the Northern Han Dynasty, and changed his name to Liu Jiye after the emperor gave him the surname.

Liu Jiye was known as the Invincible General in the Northern Han Dynasty. This nickname came from the battle with him and the Khitan people.Don't look at the Khitan people who will come to help if something happens in the Northern Han Dynasty. It is for the Khitan people's own interests. In the battle, Liu Jiye often ended up winning, so he was nicknamed "Liu Wudi" by the people of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Of course, this invincible general was not really able to fight all the invincible opponents in the world, but at least in the Northern Han Dynasty, there was no general who was more brave and capable of fighting than him, so this task was naturally entrusted to him.

But Guo Wuwei was naturally uneasy and kind, but his purpose was to let Liu Jiye die outside the city.

Liu Wudi knew that the morale of the army was no longer available, and he was still struggling to support it now, all because the soldiers were still looking forward to the last hope - the Khitan dispatched troops.At this time, it is okay to defend the city, and disturbing the enemy's attack on the camp will not help. Once it fails, it will increase the loss, reduce the morale of the army, and make the people more panic.But when the imperial decree came down, he didn't dare to disobey it, so he had to go back to the long spear battalion he brought out with his own hand, and carefully selected a thousand brave and skilled warriors, each of whom was equipped with a horse, and waited quietly for the night to sneak attack on the enemy camp.

This night, Ye Chen was practicing swords under the moon.

A corner of the camp is where the kitchen is. At this time, the moonlight is like water, and the thick wooden sticks are piled up like a mountain on the open space. Ye Chen is very good at arrows, but he knows that his sword skills are too poor to kill the enemy, so he spends the night time practicing hard.

He picked up a tree stump and erected it on the ground, held the knife with both hands, held his breath, and swung the knife down with only seven points of force. The stake split into two halves with a soft "crack" sound, and the tip of the knife was only three inches away from the ground. .

Ye Chen practiced extremely hard, and now his hands are wrapped with cloth strips.Every time at the end of the practice, his arm would feel a little burning pain when he swung it, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering.

Ye Chen has already had a deep understanding of the truth of "enduring hardships and hardships to become a master" in later generations.

In addition, since Guo Wuwei sent a messenger to surrender to the Song Dynasty, Ye Chen further realized that even if he is deep in the Song Dynasty military camp, it may not be [-]% safe. The forces behind Taiyi, Taipingjiao, and Yudaoxiang , I am afraid that they all have the ability to enter the Song army to find people through the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Song Dynasty.

He is becoming more and more insecure now, and he only wants to make military achievements, improve his status, and have a little more self-protection ability while the Song Dynasty battle is not over.

And if you want to stand out in this military camp, you must have a minimum force, which is the capital of self-protection. When there is a war, the general can't take care of himself, not to mention that he is still Cao Bin's personal soldier, who will protect him?

In the chaotic battle on the battlefield, even if he has the talents brought from later generations, if he does not have enough force to protect himself, he will be easily killed by an ordinary red guy.

Therefore, he must first have a certain amount of self-protection power.

During the day, Ye Chen followed Cao Bin every day, learning from him to manage military affairs, inspect and patrol camps, command and dispatch; learn from him how to deal with those red guys...

At night, he came to the side of the stove and worked as a voluntary woodcutter, practicing knife skills by the way.

After following Wang Chao's advice, Ye Chen insisted on chopping a thousand knives every day.It sounds easy, but when he actually did it, he realized that each of the thousand cuts gathered strength and spirit, and it took a lot of strength to chop it down with the power method taught by Wang Chao, but he still persisted, Rain or shine.

Fortunately, after the last change in the deserted temple of the reclining Buddha, although the strange hot and cold energy in his body at that time disappeared afterwards, his physique has inexplicably changed a lot. Not to mention his self-healing ability has increased, his strength has also become stronger. It is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of physical recovery is far beyond ordinary people.That's why we can persevere.

"Crack! 740 five..."

Ye Chen bent his sore waist, erected another wooden stake, and rested on the ground with the precious knife he brought from Guo Wuwei's messenger.He didn't want to chop every knife casually, he had to catch his breath and use the most correct movement method to strike a knife, one thousand knife, each knife should be carried out exactly according to Wang Chao's instructions, and no one knife would be wasted. , and never slack off.

He raised the saber again, his body standing like a mountain, holding the saber in both hands, the blade lightly raised above his head, his gaze seemed to be fixed on the wooden stake.

The moonlight reflected on the blade, and it fluctuated slightly like flowing water. 740 six knives slashed down.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly heard a noise, he listened for a moment, and then quickly ran to the pile of firewood to look at it from a distance.Only the sound of fighting came from the south, and the sound of the golden drum was endless.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help feeling tense: "The northern Han army attacked the camp! They attacked the southern camp at night."

At this moment the camp alarm sounded.Cao Bin hurriedly came out of the big tent in helmet and helmet.

Cao Bin managed the army well, and the forbidden army under his command was even more elite. Before he gave an order, the generals and generals under his command had already made preparations for the contingency.There was silence in the camp.There was no uproar.In comparison.Ye Chen, who hurried back, became the most restless one.I saw order in the camp.Ye Chen couldn't help but blushed.

Cao Bin knew that he practiced swords in the back camp.Seeing that he was running around in sweat, he didn't reprimand him.Instead, he comforted in a harmonious voice: "Don't panic, the more serious the situation is, the more calm you need to be. You have just entered the army, after you have fought a few battles and seen blood, you will be able to calm down when you hear the sound of killing."

Although Ye Chen was also a soldier in later generations, he was in a peaceful age. He has experienced several exercises, but he has never experienced a war with real guns and live ammunition.Not to mention that this kind of hand-to-hand combat is even more dangerous and tragic.

Cao Bin boarded the observation tower and looked south for a while.Here it is blocked by a corner of the city.We could only vaguely see the faint flames in the direction of Nanying.The killing sound shook the sky.Cao Bin said: "Northern Han soldiers attacked the garrison in the southern city at night. The southern camp was guarded by General Yuhou Zhao, the capital of the imperial infantry. This man is brave and skilled in combat, resourceful and resourceful. The Northern Han army may not be able to take advantage of it."

Ye Chen is his personal soldier, and he is by his side.Hearing the sound, he couldn't help asking: "Marshal! Don't we need to send troops to support?"

Cao Bin turned his head to look at him and said, "The night is dark and the enemy's situation is unknown, so you must not act rashly. Once you fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, or are lured by it, you will easily fall into the enemy's ambush. Remember, any such night attack The battalions, the battalions must not rush to help. Even if you get the signal for help from the attacked military camp, you have to be careful again and again. After further verification, the battalions will respond. You know, the enemy's success in rushing to the camp is just a mess. Battalion, if you mess up your position and rush to help, once you fall into the enemy's tricks, you will lose everything, and there will be no room for maneuver."

Ye Chen felt awe in his heart, and said sincerely: "What the commander said is true! This subordinate has been taught."

The sound of fighting in the south of the city lasted less than two sticks of incense before it fell silent, and then the garrison camp in the south of the city sent out lights, gongs and drums to signal that the enemy had retreated.A sneak attack is all about surprise. Once the opponent is prepared or responds in time, the conditions for a sneak attack will be lost. A wise general will immediately withdraw his troops instead of turning a sneak attack into a decisive battle.

Ye Chen followed Cao Bin down the wooden ladder of the watchtower and returned to the tent. While skillfully removing Cao Bin's armor, he said, "Commander! The Northern Han army failed to harass the South Camp. The commander is not worried that they will come again." Attack our northern camp?"

Cao Bin said: "Night raids are fought by surprise and unpreparedness. Once someone sees through, it is meaningless. The enemy's night raid just now was not to break through the siege, but to disturb the morale of our troops. Humph! Now that the battalions are on guard, according to common sense, the enemy dare not come again? However, it is also possible for the enemy to seize the heart of our army and attack the battalion again, although this possibility is very small."
