Chapter 78 Enemy Attack
The two of them left the city and turned north. They could not go back the way they came, because Zhang Fei's army was already in the east, and they did not want to rush into his camp again.
When they were approaching Dangyang, it was already getting late. At this time, the two happened to see smoke rising from cooking stoves not far ahead. It was a camp with the banner of Cao Jun on the flag.
When the guard guard saw Song Xin approaching, he immediately stopped them and notified the general.
The general came out and saw that the two men were wearing Cao Jun's armor and asked, "Where are you from?"
"We came from Jiangling and are going to Xiangyang." Song Ya answered with cupped hands.
The general was a little suspicious. During this period, enemy spies often disguised themselves as friendly troops and went to the rear to spy on the military situation. He asked again: "Why are you going to Xiangyang?"
"We have General Cao's letter with us and want to present it to the Prime Minister in person."
"General Cao? Where's the letter? Bring it to me!"
"This is a letter for the Prime Minister. I can't give it to you to read," Song Xin said.
"Huh, what you say is unfounded. If you don't prove your identity, I will have to treat you as spies." As soon as the general finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers surrounded the two of them.
Song Ya had no choice but to take out the letter and said, "This has General Cao's paint on it. If you destroy it, can you afford it?"
The general also knew the power here, nodded and said: "Since there is fire paint, I can't believe it completely." After that, he pointed to the two soldiers, "Look at them, before leaving the camp tomorrow, stay by their side! "
The general sent the two men into the camp and ate dry food. Through chatting, they learned that the men and horses in this camp were transporting grain, grass and weapons from Dangyang to Jiangling. They would not be able to arrive in Jiangling until tomorrow, so they would camp here to rest tonight.
At midnight, all the soldiers went to bed, leaving only a few sentries to patrol around the camp.
After Song Xin slept for an hour, he began to breathe and practice Qi. For him, practicing Qi has more benefits for the body than sleeping. So he just slept for an hour before starting to practice. Diligence is also the reason why he made rapid progress. .
At about four o'clock in the morning, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground.
Song Xin felt this tremor keenly, and immediately stood up and scanned the surroundings, but he did not find anything unusual.
But the vibrations on the ground were obviously getting stronger and stronger. Song Xin put his ear to the ground and listened.
He immediately became frightened and said: "No, it's the sound of horse hooves, the sound of many horse hooves hitting the ground. It's coming from the west."
He quickly stood up, ran up a haystack, and looked to the west.
At this time, it was dark and dark. Song Xin tried to use his spiritual consciousness to perceive, but he couldn't see anything. It must be that the enemy was still outside the range of his spiritual consciousness!
"Song Xin. There is a group of people coming from the west." Xiaoyu suddenly reminded.
"How many?"
"...Probably...nearly a thousand..."
"Do you know whose soldiers they are?"
"I don't know, but they are dressed differently from you."
"No, night attack!"
Song Xin immediately realized something was wrong and shouted.
He hurried to the tent and woke up Song Ya and the general. The general was also a veteran of the battlefield. When he lay on the ground, he immediately knew something was wrong and said: "These horses' hooves are very light on the ground. They obviously don't often wear heavy armor." Our cavalry is, in all likelihood... the enemy's force."
After he finished speaking, he shouted to wake everyone up. The soldiers who were sleeping in a daze came out of the tent.

I ran out and didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the west, like a huge boulder flying out of the darkness, hitting the hearts of everyone in Cao Camp.
"kill!"
In an instant, the gentle horseshoes began to gradually become heavier and faster. From far to near, the enemy cavalry began to accelerate!
"It's the enemy!!!" A sentry standing on a high place saw the enemy first and started shouting a warning.
Everyone heard the sentry yelling and hurriedly followed the sound. At this moment, the sentry who shouted the warning was shot into the mouth by a flying arrow. The arrow was so powerful that it instantly pierced the back of the sentry's head. The man's eyes flashed.
Turn over, fall from a height, and instantly run out of breath.
This arrow brought not only death, but also heart-stopping panic.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing were loud.
At this time, the vibration of the horse's hooves on the ground in the darkness was like waves of rolling thunder, carrying a wave of death towards this small camp.
Many soldiers were looking for weapons and wearing armor in the dark. They did not expect to encounter such a large group of enemy soldiers within their own sphere of influence. But now they realized that it was too late. There were already enemy cavalry howling.
He rushed into the camp and began to harvest their lives.
"Don't take the heads, burn the food and grass as soon as possible! Don't be obsessed with fighting!" A powerful voice came. This voice was like a god descending to earth, allowing everyone to hear it very clearly.
The few cavalrymen who rushed in first quickly cut down Cao Jun's soldiers who tried to resist, then grabbed a torch and started throwing it at the grain cart.
After a while, the grain began to burn blazingly, and the flames turned the night red. The grain was roasted by the fire, and there was a burst of aroma. But at this time, no one would pay attention to this. Everyone just wanted to escape.
Song Xin pulled Song Ya onto his horse and prepared to flee north. At this time, he encountered more than a thousand cavalry. Even if he was a Taoist, he would definitely not be able to deal with them. Moreover, Song Ya was by his side.
He turned around and saw that the general's eyes were split with rage when he saw the food and grass being burned. He was an officer guarding the food and grass. If he lost the food and grass, he would be beheaded by military law even if he arrived in Jiangling. He jumped on the horse regardless of it.
, picked up the spear and rushed out with a few cavalry to stop the enemy.
As soon as he left the camp, he saw a tall general rushing over. Cao Jun's general's eyes were red with anger, and he stabbed the man in the face with his spear. The general did not panic, raised his spear in his hand, and lightly
Gently tapping the spear to the left, the spear was easily deflected.
The spear passed by the general, and his spear did not take off the spear of the commander. Second, it directly stuck to the spear shaft and slid up. Cao Jun's commander was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the throat by the spear.
, Unexpectedly, the general was extremely powerful, and the Changshan castrated him unabated, so he used the sharp side of the Changshan to cut off his head.
This flow is smooth and smooth, without any lag, as smooth as cutting a piece of paper with a sharp blade.
In an instant, General Tun's head was in a different place, and his head with an unwilling expression rolled to the ground. His body was carried by the war horse for a few steps before finally landing.
The soldiers at the back saw their commander's head being beheaded at once. The attack was so swift and the position was so accurate that they were all frightened and their spirits flew away.
Song Xin could see it clearly. He had never seen such a smooth... killing method... It couldn't even be called killing, it was simply art...
The soldiers of Cao's army rolled off their horses and knelt down to beg for mercy.
The general didn't even look at them. He galloped into the camp and ordered the sergeants to set fire everywhere. Song Xin originally wanted to find a place to escape with Song Ya, but he didn't expect it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When they arrived, they were surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers.
Can't get out.
"What should we do?" Both of them were a little anxious. They originally wanted to find a place to sleep and rest, but unexpectedly they encountered a night attack...
Song Ya knelt next to Song Xin and whispered: "I think the enemy only wants to burn food and grass. They haven't killed many of the surrendered soldiers."
"Well, the two of us will pretend to surrender first. If it doesn't work, we will fight our way out," Song Xin said.
He could use Earth Escape to escape, but he couldn't leave Song Ya alone. If the enemy really wanted to kill them, Song Xin wouldn't care about the rules of a monk. Even if he was struck by lightning, it would be better than being killed without resisting.
It's better to die. It's better to blow up these people directly with the Heart Fire Seal than to have their heads chopped off by them.
Looking at the general not far from him, he was riding on a tall red horse. He looked very majestic, especially the five-foot-long beard floating on his chest, which was very beautiful and conspicuous. This man was tall and tall.
It is nine feet tall, with red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, a face like purple jade, majestic and dignified appearance.
With such an appearance, Song Xin knew without guessing that he must be Guan Yunchang, Liu Bei's number one general.
He was wearing iron scale armor, with a dark green war robe tightly wrapped around it to prevent the armor from touching each other when moving forward. He held a long spear in his hand, which flashed white against the fire. Two spears were inserted into his waist.
A long knife, a hard bow and an arrow pot were hung under the saddle.
The arrow feathers in the arrow pot were all painted red. It must have been Guan Yu who shot over the sentry just now, because there was still a red arrow feather exposed in the mouth of the dead sentry.
Song Xin was frightened in his heart. Although he was not a practitioner, he didn't know why, but it brought great mental pressure to himself. The sentry was at least forty or fifty steps away from Guan Yu, and he fired arrows on the galloping horse.
, was actually able to hit the open mouth of the person who was screaming with one arrow. This kind of power and accuracy is really terrifying.
However, this Guan Yu's appearance was very different from what he knew. First of all, his beard was not that long, and the weapon he used was a long spear. Thinking of the fact that stirrups were not yet popular at this time, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't swing the Qinglong Sword.
"Burn the food and grass, take the horses, and retreat quickly!" Guan Yu shouted in command of the soldiers with his spear, his voice majestic and strong.
"promise!"
At this time, there were two pawns crawling quietly on the ground, trying to escape. They had just climbed a few steps, and like magic, a few arrows were inserted into their backs. The two struggled for a while, and finally fell to the ground.
Out of breath.
The two soldiers beside Guan Yu put away their bows and arrows and shouted: "Anyone who escapes will be killed without mercy!"
At this time, no one dared to move. They were all lying on the ground shivering.
Guan Yu's soldiers kept throwing torches, but they didn't even look at the kneeling soldiers. Some of them wanted to run away to report the news, but they were immediately discovered, chased and killed.
Song and Xin watched helplessly as all the grain carts began to burn, and then the fodder for the war horses. They were shocked. This grain was enough to feed a thousand people for several days.
When all the food and grass were ignited, Guan Yu turned his horse's head and said: "Back off."
These more than a thousand people immediately mounted their horses and evacuated in an orderly and rapid manner. They came and went like the wind and were well-trained. They were never sloppy in fighting. They burned all the food and grass and finally took away all the horses in the camp. Even Cao Ren sent
The war horses given to Song and Xin were also taken away.
Guan Yu finally turned around and glanced at all Cao's troops, smiled mockingly, stroked his beard proudly, turned around, rode his horse and disappeared into the night.
