Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 539 Night Attack
Zhao Yingqi was stunned for a moment, and his cheeks twitched. "What did you say?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "You heard me right, I was talking about raiding the camp."

Zhao Yingqi panicked and grabbed Liang Xiao's arm tightly. "No, no, Liang Junhou, you... what are you doing? We fought the battle well, there is no need to take risks, what are you doing... why..."

Liang Xiao laughed loudly, patted Zhao Yingqi on the shoulder, and signaled him not to worry. "Your Highness, listen to me."

Zhao Yingqi's face was pale, he stared at Liang Xiao and looked again and again, seeing that Liang Xiao was calm and composed, he didn't look like he had drunk too much or went crazy, so he regained his composure, but still refused to let go of Liang Xiao's arm , it seemed that Liang Xiao flew away as soon as he let go of his hand.

Liang Xiao pulled Zhao Yingqi, walked to the desk and sat down. "The reason why we were able to win a big victory today is that His Highness commanded well, and the South Vietnamese soldiers fought bravely..."

"Don't tell me these things are useless." Zhao Yingqi was not in the mood to listen to Liang Xiao's polite words, so he interrupted Liang Xiao directly. "Just tell me, why do you want to take this risk? With today's casualty ratio, we must be more persistent than Yu Shan. Why don't you guard the camp, but want to attack Yu Shan's camp?"

"I'm just about to say it." The smile on Liang Xiao's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious. "To win the battle, the biggest helper is none other than Yu Shan. Yu Shan is good at fighting for power and is not familiar with battle formations. He may not have any problems commanding and marching, but he made many mistakes in front of the battle. We took advantage."

"Yu Shan...made a mistake?" Zhao Yingqi was stunned, staring straight at Liang Xiao.He didn't think about it at all.In his opinion, to be able to win such a beautiful battle, one is the favorable terrain, and the other is Coach Liang Xiao's small formation, what does it have to do with Yu Shan?There is nothing wrong with his command, at least he didn't see it.

Seeing Zhao Yingqi's bewildered expression, Liang Xiao knew that he was actually similar to Yu Shan, and he had no experience in commanding in battle, so he naturally couldn't feel those subtle differences. "Your Highness, do you think it's appropriate to deal with the general before the battle?"

Zhao Yingqi thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Yes, as long as the commanding generals have some experience, they won't do this. Because those generals were not timid. They were defeated because the situation was unknown, and killing them easily would only shake the soldiers' hearts. But Yu Shan didn't understand, He thought that this would boost morale and prevent other soldiers from being perfunctory. This is a manifestation of his inexperience. However, Yu Shan is not stupid, even if he is stupid, there must be smart people around him."

Zhao Yingqi gradually felt better. "You mean, if you have a rest today, someone might remind Yu Shan?"

"Your Highness, you really hit the nail on the head." Liang Xiao raised his thumb half-truthfully.He is indeed worried about this problem.Yu Shan only attacked twice during the day, and he withdrew his troops and returned to camp as soon as the sun set in the afternoon.He has at least three or four hours before going to bed at midnight.After Yu Shan suffered a defeat, it was impossible not to reflect on it. As long as he invited the generals who were about to join the battle to discuss it, he would probably know what mistakes he had made.

If Yu Shan hadn't made a mistake, where would they have a chance to pick up a bargain?
There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and Yu Shan can make mistakes, and at most he will lose a few thousand more people.But if they make a mistake, they will be lost forever.Even if they don't make mistakes, it's useless. If Yu Shan doesn't make mistakes, they still don't have much chance of success.

Because, Yu Shan couldn't be given a chance to think calmly, and when he was defeated and restless, he could be hit hard again.From Liang Xiao's point of view, although Yu Shan suffered a defeat, he certainly never thought that he would give up his existing geographical advantage and take the initiative to rob the camp.If it was Jing Zhao who was commanding the army, maybe he wouldn't be given a chance, but under Yu Shan's panic, he might not have thought of such a thing as guarding the camp.

Seizing this opportunity and inflicting another serious injury on Yu Shan made him feel that not only is it difficult to attack mountains, even flat ground may not be safe.Only then will he continue to make mistakes.

During the day, when Liang Xiao was sitting on the ridge as an idol, he was already thinking about this matter. He had been observing Yu Shan's every move, analyzing Yu Shan's habits and trying to figure out Yu Shan's mood.Judging from Yu Shan's formation when he finally withdrew, Yu Shan had very little experience in front of the battle. Without Jing Zhao, he could only make no big mistakes at best, and he couldn't talk about the details at all.

It was precisely because of this conclusion that Liang Xiao felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.He also sent Tu Niu'er to observe Yu Shan's camp, but he didn't find out what Yu Shan had planned for the possible attack on the camp, which strengthened his confidence even more.Of course there are risks, but how can marching operations have no risks at all.All he can do is to minimize the risk as much as possible.

Zhao Yingqi nodded after listening.Although he had limited experience, he felt that what Liang Xiao said was reasonable.If Yu Shan is allowed to calm down, the situation will indeed be even more unfavorable to them.It's just that he was still worried. After all, their strength was too small. In case of accident, Yu Shan's camp was well defended, so there would be no chance.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I don't need too many people, I only need a hundred horses." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "The hundred horses that didn't participate in the battle during the day."

"A hundred rides is enough?"

"One hundred horses is enough, more will not be beautiful. Don't worry, Your Highness, I am the best at raiding camps. I am the second, and no one dares to be the first."

Zhao Yingqi stared at Liang Xiao for a long time, blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and agreed.Give Liang Xiao a hundred rides, and if he succeeds, the chances of defeating Yu Shan will be a little higher.In case of defeat, even if Liang Xiao's entire army is wiped out, he will not have no soldiers to use.With more than 300 people left, he can still guard for a while, and won't let Yu Shan go down in one go.

Weighing the pros and cons, the plan works.

All along, what Liang Xiao planned for Zhao Yingqi has perfectly achieved the expected goals, and Zhao Yingqi also has some blind admiration for Liang Xiao.Hearing Liang Xiao's analysis now, he didn't think too much about it, and agreed without hesitation, and immediately sent someone to summon the hundred knights.As a reserve team, these knights did not participate in the battle during the day, and had been watching other comrades kill the enemy. Their hands were already itchy. When they heard that Liang Xiao was going to take them back to their old jobs and attack Yu Shan's camp at night, they immediately became energetic and excited.

The night attack more than ten days ago was unforgettable to this day. If they had the chance to do it again, who would refuse?

It has to be said that these people are a little numb, and they don't realize the danger of attacking the camp at all.Success last time does not mean success this time.However, under Liang Xiao's dazzling halo, they all became fanatics, and no one thought too much about it.

Liang Xiao made a list and asked Zhao Yingqi to prepare, then he collected his mind and started the night practice.

-

Yu Shan stared at the generals in the tent with his half-drunk eyes open, his breath a little rough.

After being raided by Liang Xiao's cavalry and taking away his beloved white horse, he once again suffered a big loss in the infantry battle, and was beaten badly.There were more than five thousand casualties, but no substantial progress was made, which made him both aggrieved and uneasy.

If the opponent has the same strength and suffers a little setback, that's all.But the opponent's troops were obviously pitifully small, not worth mentioning at all, and he was still unable to attack for a long time, which would be too embarrassing.

Yu Shan knew that he was not a real general, but with such a disparity in the strength of the two sides, even an ordinary person leading the army should be able to win easily.Such examples are not uncommon, why can't I do it myself?If this gets out, who will take me, Yu Shan, seriously in the future?
Thinking of this, Yu Shan felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.He put so much thought into instigating war against South Vietnam by avenging South Vietnam's oppression.Now that the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack from two directions, Han Anguo and Wei Qing had even invaded the mainland of Fujian and Yue, and rebelled against Zhengwu, which made him very passive.If he can't repel the Han army, he will not end well.

However, victory is not only not as easy as he hoped, but is so far away.

The generals were silent, but it didn't mean they had no opinion.They were frightened by Yu Shan's beheading of the generals, and they were afraid that a wrong word would make Yu Shan fly into a rage, so they pushed them out and chopped them down.

Yu Shan felt a little regretful.He originally wanted to use Kan Yu's head to boost morale, but now it seems that it backfired. Instead, it made the generals feel alienated and dare not speak freely.He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask advice, but looking at the atmosphere, he could only keep his stomach full of questions in his heart.

Looking at these bitter faces, Yu Shan felt very uncomfortable.He coughed and waved his hands, feeling a little tired. "It's been a hard day of fighting, you guys have worked hard. Let's leave early, hurry up and rest, tomorrow we must win Pomegranate Ridge."

After hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to bow down and leave the tent one by one.

Yu Shan was extremely depressed, got up and went back to the back tent.Chang Shi wanted to say something, but seeing his displeasure and guilty conscience, he hesitated for a moment, then backed out.Just when Yu Shan was upset, he didn't pay attention to Chang Shi's abnormality, and sat down on the couch, sulking to himself.

Yu Shan sat for a while, lying on the couch with all his clothes on, but couldn't fall asleep anyway.After tossing and turning for more than an hour, he closed his eyes drowsily.As soon as he fell asleep, he saw a white horse, a magnificent white horse, galloping towards him against the breeze, stepping on the green grass.

It was the good horse from the Western Regions that he spent five hundred gold to buy.

Yu Shan was overjoyed and went to meet him, but the white horse suddenly disappeared.Surprised, Yu Shan opened his eyes, feeling lost for a moment.The white horse was his favorite, but he never expected that Liang Xiao would take it away when he arrived in Zhangpu, before the battle.Seeing the embarrassment that day, Yu Shan's face was a little hot, as if someone had slapped him severely.

After sitting alone for a long time, Yu Shan fell asleep again.

-

After practicing the Daoyin technique, Liang Xiao collected his mind and thought about it for a while, then opened his eyes and got up to leave the tent.

Outside the tent, a hundred knights were already getting ready, standing in front of Liang Xiao energetically, their eyes sparkling, and they were biting a bullet in their mouths.The horses had been fed and bridled so as not to neigh.Dozens of oil-soaked torches hung on both sides of each saddle, and each knight carried a quiver full of arrows, many of which were tied with firelighters.

Setting fire is as important as killing people. Liang Xiao had already emphasized this point to them in the last night attack. They didn't need to waste any more words, they were ready.

"You guys have worked hard."

The knights grinned, looked at each other, and stroked their chests with fists. "Wish to advance and retreat with the king."

"It's my luck." Liang Xiao turned on the crescent moon, took the black bow from Xi Ya's hand, raised it high, shook it lightly, turned the horse's head, took the lead, and galloped lightly down the mountain.

The knights got on their horses and walked in single file.In order to avoid being discovered by the Minyue Army, they specially picked a hillside far from the Minyue Army camp.Zhao Yingqi led a dozen soldiers and held torches to illuminate Liang Xiao and others on the side of the road.

Liang Xiao walked up to Zhao Yingqi, reined in his horse, and cupped his hands. "Your Highness, please."

Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi made an agreement that after he invaded the Minyue Army camp, Zhao Yingqi would beat drums on the hill to attract the attention of the Minyue Army so that they could not deal with the knights attacking the camp with all their strength.The distance between the two armies was only two or three miles, and they were at a high place. If dozens of big drums were beating at the same time, the Minyue army could hear them clearly.In the dark night, the Minyue Army could not figure out the situation, so they would definitely be nervous.

Zhao Yingqi's face was a little pale, and his smile was unnatural.Although Liang Xiao's analysis made sense, the danger should not be underestimated. "Don't worry, Junhou, I'm here waiting for your triumphant return."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, leaned over, patted Zhao Yingqi on the shoulder, and said nothing.He was also nervous, but the arrow was on the string, he had to fire, and he couldn't admit cowardly at this time.He lightly kicked the horse and galloped down the mountain without hesitation.

Zhao Yingqi sighed softly, clasped his hands together, and prayed secretly. "God Taiyi bless, God Chiyou bless, Emperor Wu bless! Bless the champion Hou Desheng for his return."

Liang Xiao and the others quietly walked through the woods, circled around, crossed the river at a shallow place on the west side of Shiliu Ridge, and then went eastward along the south bank of the big river. Southwest of the Vietnamese army camp.

Liang Xiao was stationed on the hillside of the horse, and used clairvoyance to observe the camp of the Minyue Army for the last time.It was the time when the third watch and the fourth watch alternated, the moon had already set to the west, and the Fujian-Vietnamese army camp was completely silent, only the clear and crisp sound of fighting came from a distance, swaying in the night wind, a little erratic.

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at the accompanying knights.Like the war horses under their crotches, the knights have already lost their blood after a ten-mile trot, and they are in their best condition.Seeing Liang Xiao look over, they puffed up their chests and put on a fearless look.

Liang Xiao felt ashamed secretly.These guys are really simple-minded, and I don't know how many of them can go back alive.

"Masters, are you ready?"

"Ready!" The knights took the coins from their mouths and said in a hurry.

"In this case, then throw away the bridle, let the horse neigh to its heart's content, and let us kill to our heart's content."

"Okay!" The knights responded one after another, taking off the bridle of their horses.The war horse shook its head and tail, snorted, and felt relaxed.

Liang Xiao lightly kicked the horse's belly, and Xinyue rushed out, heading straight for the Fujian-Yue army camp five hundred paces away.
