Genjing Masato once again stood at the west end of Beihaiguan.
The moonlight in the sky is like water, but outside the city it is dark.
The watchtower that used to be so bright in the sky now has its lights turned off.
The eyes on the tower were even more silent, seeming to have fallen asleep.
"What's going on with those watchtowers?" Masato Nei was a little confused.
hey-hey.
Chunshan looked a little proud.
"General, ever since you formulated the plan for a sneak attack out of the city, the general has been preparing here in the west of the city."
Not only did he order those watchtowers to be attacked and destroyed every day, but he also made a fuss with gongs and drums on time every night, making it look like he was about to leave the city.
At first, the soldiers of the Yanhui Legion hurriedly came out to fight, but when they arrived at the city wall, they discovered that it was just a scam. After a few days, they were too lazy to pay attention to it anymore.
So it became like this.
Yunchui's watchtower is standard equipment and is a type of military supplies.
A skilled engineering team can build a watchtower taller than the Beihaiguan city in half an hour.
But the bottom tower is not a lookout car and cannot be moved at will.
No matter how poor the skills of the Japanese pirate soldiers are, as long as they aim and fire a few more heavy crossbows and stone bullets, they can easily destroy all the watchtowers.
Although the tower can be quickly assembled if it is destroyed, the Yunchui soldiers who fell from the tower were either dead or injured.
After several days in a row, not many eyes of the Yanhui Legion were willing to climb to the watchtower and keep an eye on them. They only took a few quick glances and then hurriedly handed over their orders.
Therefore, it is normal for the watchtower outside the city to have no lights at this time.
"That's it." Masato Nei nodded with satisfaction.
Without the watchtowers outside the city that keep an eye on what's going on in the city, the success rate of their operation tonight would be much higher.
Looking at the hourglass, Masato Nei ordered, "We will still make a big fuss at midnight tonight to paralyze the enemies outside the city. In Toki, you will lead eight thousand people out of the city. You must conquer the blood camp behind the Yanhui Legion in one fell swoop and transfer their supplies to the enemy."
Bring them all back."
"Yes!" Chunshan responded loudly.
"General, this is a very clever plan." The military advisor next to him complimented him.
"Chou Shi is the sleepiest time for human beings. Presumably everyone in the Yanhui Legion has fallen into a deep sleep at that time. From the perspective of my subordinates, this battle will be won. Even General Chunshan does not need to take so many brothers out of the city, maybe five thousand or even three thousand
People are enough."
snort!
Chunshan snorted secretly, and his face turned a little dark.
The Yanhui Corps outside the city has more than 20,000 troops, and Yu Ziping is not Huang Shitao, the former guard of Beihai Customs.
Although he came to attack the city, he also prepared for a long-term siege. At this time, a dense defense system was built around the legion's station.
If this attack fails and the enemy regains consciousness and organizes themselves, they may be in a dilemma.
If they hadn't been making arrangements these days to confuse the enemy, otherwise Chunshan would not have dared to take on this mission.
"Come on." Genjing Masato raised his hand and interrupted the military advisor's bragging, "Eight thousand people are still leaving the city, and the other two thousand are waiting at the city gate."
He chuckled.
"Yu Ziping has brought a lot of food and supplies, and it will take a lot of manpower to move them."
Phew~
Chunshan let out a sigh of relief, "That's what the general said."
"It is said that in addition to food, Yu Ziping also brought a lot of kerosene, which was enough to fill dozens of large pits. If we move all the kerosene back, even if there is no Ridan tribe in the north, we don't have to worry about the Yunchui people.
.”
After speaking, he glared angrily towards the north.
Gorros' unsatisfied appetite often made them gnash their teeth.
"That's right," the military advisor quickly agreed. "With sufficient food and military supplies, if the Yunchui people dare to attack the city in the future, the kerosene will pour down, not to mention the people, and even the siege equipment they are proud of.
It will also turn into ashes and sink into dust..."
Time flies by quickly, and it won’t be long until midnight.
Boom, boom, boom!
Dozens of huge war drums on the top of the city began beating in unison again.
The sound of drums resounded like thunder through the night sky, which was breathtaking.
Whoosh!
Heavy crossbows and countless stones flew toward the watchtower outside the city with sparks, and attacked the tower with a bang.
The watchtower is built solidly. In addition to the cowhide boards, the outside of the frame is also covered with thick mud, which is not only resistant to damage but also fireproof.
However, no matter how hard they were beaten, they could not withstand the violent bombardment from the top of the city, and soon they fell down with a crash.
"General, I didn't hear any screams. There shouldn't be anyone on the tower."
"Very good." Masato Nei was even more satisfied.
He raised his head and looked farther away.
However, after a long while, the Yanhui station five miles away was still quiet, and even the firelight did not bother to light up.
"General," Chunshan beamed with joy, "our strategy worked, and Yu Ziping didn't take it seriously at all."
"It couldn't be better." Genjing Masato smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's up to you and the brothers to come down. I will be waiting for you to return victoriously."
"Yes! I will fight to the death to complete the mission."
When it was ugly, the dim morning star had already risen in the sky.
Chunshan looked at the hourglass and lowered it with his raised hand.
"Out of town!"
The west gate of Beihaiguan had already been evacuated. Chunshan gave an order, and the heavy city gate creaked halfway open, and countless soldiers poured out like a tide.
It's not far away for five miles, but because Yu Ziping built a huge earthen building outside the west city, the road there was divided into two halves.
"General," the guard looked at the mound as high as the city head with hatred, "should we destroy this thing?"
To prevent Yu Ziping from setting up trebuchets and heavy crossbows on top.
In the future, when attacking the city, they will not have the height advantage even if they hide in the city.
"There's no rush." Chun Shan was very calm. "The main purpose of our trip is to attack the geese back to their base and rob them of their food and supplies. If there is still time when we come back, it won't be too late to collapse this mound of dirt."
Soon, the front troops arrived outside Yanhui Station, and even the gaps in the outer wooden fence could be seen clearly.
However, the place remained quiet.
Hum hum.
Chunshan finally put his worried heart back into his stomach and sneered: "Go to sleep, continue to sleep well, we are here!"
at this time.
Jingle Bell……
I don't know who touched the alarm bell outside the station, and for a while the bells rang loudly all around.
"pity!"
Chunshan was not surprised at all, he just secretly cried out that it was a pity.
Their position at this time was still a bit far away, and the bows and arrows they brought out could not reach the Yanhui Legion's camp.
But the alarm bell has sounded, and sentries will soon come out to check the situation, so Chunshan will not hesitate any longer.
He made a prompt decision, "Everyone is here, light the fire! Others get on rockets, take torches, and attack!"
Plop, plop.
On all the roads leading to the entrance of the camp, the Japanese pirate soldiers threw down the firewood in their arms or backs, and quickly piled up hundreds of piles of firewood.
Wow.
Precious fire oil was poured on.
Buzz~
In an instant, these hundreds of piles of firewood burst into flames, illuminating the entire perimeter of the Yanhui Station.
The archers passing by lit their arrows on fire one after another and pointed forward.
The swordsmen and spearmen directly picked up a piece of firewood and used it as a torch, shouted "kill" and rushed towards the tent in front.
