Chapter 128: The Night Attack of the Barbarian Army
Chagu nodded, "I saw with my own eyes that there were very few soldiers in the Su army camp. There used to be a lot of stoves, but now half of them are missing. The front of the camp is empty, and there seems to be no defense!"
Hearing this, Ke Wushu looked surprised and uncertain.
He didn't know what Huang Zhang was up to. Ke Wushu didn't despise Huang Zhang because of the previous conversation before the battle. On the contrary, the last conversation made Ke Wushu pay more attention to Huang Zhang.
A prince of Su State who dared to break into Wucheng alone could defeat his own capable general twice with his troops. Moreover, these two generals had very different personalities, but they were defeated by one of them!
If that was all, he still dared to demonstrate with him in front of both sides. For such a fierce man, it would be difficult for Ke Wushu to suspect that Huang Zhang was pretending to be a suspicious soldier and lured him deeper!
"Geda, how long will it take for the battering ram to be repaired?"
Hearing Ke Wushu asking him, Ge Da immediately replied: "Commander, it can be repaired tonight!"
When Ke Wushu heard this, he said excitedly: "Okay! Send the order to attack the camp tonight!"
"Tonight?" Chagu thought he heard wrongly.
"Yes, it's tonight!" Ke Wushu emphasized again.
In response, Chagu immediately dissuaded him and said: "Commander, the soldiers can't see clearly at night. If we forcefully attack the camp, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses!"
Attacking a camp is not just physical work. Once the attack starts, there will be a surge of people and poor visibility at night. In this case, it is very easy for people to trample on people. By then, the enemy will not kill many, but your own people will die.
many!
Hearing Chagu's words, Ke Wushu sneered: "Who said a large force would attack the camp?"
"ah?"
"Ge Da!" Ke Wushu suddenly shouted.
"Commander-in-Chief! Here!"
"I order you to lead a hundred men and bring a siege hammer to break through the gate of the Su army camp tonight. Can you do it?"
Seeing Ke Wushu entrusting him with the task of ascending first, Geda took over the task excitedly.
He had long wanted to avenge his shame, and even if Ke Wushu had not appointed him, he would have taken the initiative to apply to fight.
Not to mention a hundred people, even if he was alone, he was confident enough to open the door of the Su army's camp!
It was night and the Su army camp was quiet.
Ever since Chagu discovered that the Su army camp was empty, there were no soldiers stationed around the camp, as if the entire camp was really completely empty.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Ke Wushu felt. He didn't believe that Huang Zhang would withdraw his troops so easily!
If Huang Zhang was using the empty camp strategy, then he would ask Gota to take some of them to investigate first. If there was any situation, he would immediately organize a large army to attack!
That's right, Ke Wushu used Ge Da as bait.
Of course, this is not an objection to Ge Da. On the contrary, it is precisely because Ge Da is brave and powerful that Ke Wushu believes that if Ge Da goes to explore the camp first, even if it is a trap, he can be delayed until he leads the troops.
.
Especially since it is still night, it can weaken the lethality of Su army archers to the greatest extent.
There is no doubt that the barbarian army is very strong, but the barbarian army has a fatal flaw, that is, it lacks archers!
Although all the barbarian soldiers are strong men, the cost of training archers is too high, which requires sufficient resources. What the barbarians lack most is iron. How bad is their iron shortage? There are many in the barbarian army now.
Soldiers all use strong sticks!
Secondly, archers need not only strength but also accuracy. Barbarians are naturally strong men, but this accuracy has always been their weakness.
The barbarian army seems not to be born to be an archer!
The Su army was different. A large force of 100,000 people had at least 5,000 archers anyway. Five thousand archers would be too much of a threat to the barbarians attacking the city.
This is also the main reason why Ke Wushu has been silent for the past two days. The Su army has built a large camp on the official road. If he attacks by force, the cost will be too high. His goal is to attack the pass with a violent tiger.
It is really unwise to waste our troops here!
While Ke Wushu was thinking, Ge Da had already quietly sneaked under the Su army camp with a hundred soldiers carrying a battering ram.
The sky was dark, and the Su army found no trace of Ge Da.
To be precise, there was not a single Su army standing guard on the camp wall.
As soon as he approached the camp gate, Ge Da waved his hand.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the battering ram hit the heavy camp door hard. The sides of the door began to loosen under the bombardment of the battering ram, and dust fell from the cracks in the camp door.
At this time, there was still no news in the Su army camp, and the barbarian army continued to bombard the camp.
"boom!"
One sound!
"boom!"
Twice!
"Bang! Bang -"
With three strong impacts, the Su army camp was breached!
Seeing that the Su army camp was broken, Ge Da raised his big stick and pointed toward the camp: "Kill me!"
"kill!"
After giving the order, these one hundred barbarian soldiers rushed towards the Su army camp like crazy.
Ke Wushu in the distance looked at the barbarians pouring into the Su army camp and raised his hand!
As long as there is a change in the camp, he will immediately lead his soldiers to kill them!
However, what disappointed him was that since Ge Da rushed into the camp, there was no movement. The walls of the Su army camp were still dead silent. There were only the sounds of the barbarians shouting and killing in the camp, but no screams.
Voice.
Just when Ke Wushu was still very doubtful, the barbarians led by Ge Da had already stepped onto the wall of the Su army camp.
The barbarian soldiers climbed onto the camp wall, which meant that the battle was almost certain. Ke Wushu felt that he might have thought too much. Could it be that the prince of Su State opposite had really withdrawn the soldiers?
But! How could a force of 100,000 people withdraw at the drop of a hat? If a large-scale troop transfer was to take place, it would take at least five or six days to complete. How did he leave without anyone noticing?
Ke Wushu always felt that he had not grasped some key points! But after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out!
"Commander, looking at this situation, the Su army should have retreated. We can chase them before they go far!!" Chagu said from the side.
The barbarians led by Gotab have already boarded the barracks, which means that the other side has not ambushed them. It is impossible for all the troops of 100,000 to withdraw at once, so there must be troops left behind. If they pursue them, they will definitely be able to
catch up!
Ke Wushu nodded. Although he didn't understand how Huang Zhang was able to withdraw his troops in a short period of time, the facts were before his eyes. It would be too frightening not to pursue him!
Seeing Ke Wushu nodding, Chagu immediately understood and led the barbarians to start chasing towards the camp!
Ke Wushu, on the other hand, was still thinking about Huang Zhang's next move.
He is now not sure how skilled the young man in front of him is. Could it be that he has overestimated it?
But Huang Zhang's previous behavior didn't look like a rookie! It was really hard for him to let down his guard.
Just when Ke Wushu was hesitant, the Su army camp in front suddenly burst into flames!
The fire started very quickly. At first it was just a mist of fire, and then it was like a red dragon swimming in the camp, forming an endless wall of fire in a short period of time!
Chapter completed!
