According to Ling Su's plan, only at the third watch, a small-scale light cavalry battalion secretly left the city at the south gate of Chenshui Pass.
The captain of the Qingqi Battalion is named Ye Ang. He is a general of the Ling family. He has a calm temperament and is known for his bravery. This time, he happened to follow Ling Su to the front line of Kezhou.
At this time, Ye Ang's face was filled with murderous intent. He had been suffocating for a long time in Chenshui Pass.
"When the young master is born, we will use our swords and swords to fight for him and make him famous!"
The young master is naturally Ling Su.
"Horse hoof wrapped in cloth, march to the west!"
The three thousand men of light cavalry quickly left the city under the leadership of Ye Ang without any further delay.
Standing on the tower of Chenshui Pass, Ling Su looked at the cavalry running about in the night, with unconcealed worry on his face.
If he had made the decision, he would definitely not want to send troops out of the city at this time. However, his Lord Zuo Wang could not wait any longer.
There were few stars at night, and the moonlight spread like water, reflecting the faint brightness of the whole world.
Tread.
On a slope, Ye Ang stopped his horse steadily. When he saw the scene ahead clearly, he couldn't help but grin.
"Young Master is right, these Donglai people take turns cutting down the forest day and night. Take a look, there are several small camps of Donglai people on the bald slope not far away."
Behind Ye Ang, many soldiers also sneered.
"Listen to my military orders, our night attack on the camp this time is not to annihilate the enemy army! It is to follow the order of the young master to defeat the Donglai Forest Army and boost our morale at Chenshui Pass!"
The sound was not loud, but it vaguely lifted the morale of the three thousand Qingqi battalion.
"Send the order, prepare to attack the camp!"
The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth and made a very fine sound. Ye Ang was also very careful and did not rush to kill. Instead, he slowed down his horse speed. After approaching the enemy camp and avoiding the patrol camp, he coldly ordered the charge to kill.
.
…
"Qi De, has it started?" Chen Shui closed the door and Zuo Shiren smiled. Even though it was night, he still didn't rest.
In fact, many messengers have been mobilized in the open space under the city. As soon as the attack on the camp is successful, they will immediately notify the entire army to boost morale.
Ling Su, who was standing by, nodded, "Master, it's time to start."
"Although this sneak attack plan is not subtle, it can still catch the enemy off guard. I heard that in the past two or three days, there was probably no movement at Chenshui Pass. Outside the city, there were even
The number of men and horses on patrol has been greatly reduced."
"Indeed." Ling Su hesitated, always feeling that something was wrong. But this time he proposed the attack on the camp based on Zuo Shiren's wishes. If it failed, he would also be responsible.
"Xu Buyi's deforestation plan is quite hateful. If he doesn't do something, he will just think that I, Zuo Shiren, am a soft persimmon that I can easily knead."
"Tonight, I will be on top of the city tower, waiting for the good news from the Qingqi Battalion. I believe that with Qi De's layout, the morale of our Chen Shuiguan army will definitely be boosted this time."
"Lord, I still say what I said. The enemy troops outside the city... are not interested in cutting down the forest. It is more likely that they are trying to lure us out of the city."
"You have said these words many times." Zuo Shiren nodded and narrowed his eyes again, "I also understand. But no matter what, I just don't want to let Xu Buyi succeed."
Ling Su sighed silently.
Now, he can only hope that the three thousand Qingqi who left the city can bring back "good news" according to his wishes. Otherwise, the situation in Chenshui Pass will become more and more serious.
"Zide, what's wrong with your face...is there something wrong?"
"My lord, it's cold at night and my body is just tired."
Zuo Shiren breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look outside the city. At this time, not far from the outside of the city, he could already vaguely see the crowds of people in the enemy camp.
"Zide, it's begun."
…
Under the night, Xu Mu stood on the sentry tower of the main camp, his face a little silent. According to the previous military agreement, he was responsible for patrolling the sentry, while Shentu Guan's men and horses were the forest felling army.
As the trees were cut down, the original forest land became flat and no longer acted as a barrier to horses.
"Lord, Ling Su is in a hurry." Xiao Fu, who was beside him, said happily.
Xu Mu shook his head, "Zuo Shiren must be anxious. He has been staying in Chenshui Pass. If nothing is done, morale will only become more and more broken. Attacking the camp under such circumstances? Lingsu is not so stupid.
.”
"What do you mean, lord?"
Xu Mu turned his eyes and looked forward.
"Although the place where the forest is cut down is not too far away, it can actually be used by Ling Su. What he has to do now is to boost the morale of Chen Shuiguan."
"Lord, if the cavalry camp coming out of Chenshui Pass is defeated, how can we still boost morale?"
"Hiding people's eyes and ears, reporting good news but not bad news. If you guessed correctly, the people Ling Su sent out this time are most likely his own troops."
"The attack on the camp will be successful or not... and Lingsu has a way to boost Chen Shuiguan's morale first."
"These three thousand people have become unjust ghosts?"
"about there."
…
"Don't retreat!" Ye Ang shouted angrily while riding on his horse, raising his sword.
The attack on the camp was not very successful. Even though the cavalry attacked the camp, the Shu soldiers on patrol immediately returned to support within a short time.
"General, there are more and more enemy troops!"
Ye Ang narrowed his eyes, not too panicked. Regarding stealing the camp, his young master told him that he had two choices.
At present, the so-called stealing camp only kills less than a hundred enemy soldiers and has no effect. On the contrary, these cavalry camps are about to fall into encirclement and suppression.
"Take out all the kerosene in the bag!"
There were only less than a thousand men and horses left beside Ye Ang, and the others were surrounded.
I had no intention of rescuing him.
After Ye Ang gave the order, countless pieces of fire oil were thrown forward, only to wait for the fire to start, and thick fog rolled in instantly. Fortunately, due to the felling of the forest, it could not burn into a huge fire, but even so, the fire was trapped in the fire.
Many of the enemy and our soldiers were still screaming in agony.
"Return to the city!" Ye Ang said concisely and quickly turned the horse's head without stopping at all. Unfortunately, less than half a mile away, another patrol camp from Xishu formed a gun formation to block the front. The leader
It was a big man like an iron tower, holding a giant axe, and before he opened his mouth, he rushed over and chopped down two or three people.
"Where did this barbarian come from! Don't be reluctant to fight, return to the city quickly!"
There were only a thousand people left in the cavalry camp. After this wave, another three to four hundred people died.
After leaving the battlefield, Ye Ang just breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly heard his subordinates coming to report.
"General, someone is blocking the way again!"
Ye Ang took a closer look and saw another Shu soldier ambushed on the path ahead. Perhaps out of proportion, the leader of the Shu soldier this time turned out to be a monkey-like magic archer. He raised his hand and shot an arrow, almost killing him.
Shot off his horse.
"Damn it!" Ye Ang gritted his teeth. After all, he obeyed his master's wishes and did not dare to engage in any kind of fighting. After leaving more than 200 people behind, he rushed to Chenshui Pass in great frustration.
This time the attack on the camp was actually extremely embarrassing. However, after relying on the maneuverability of his light cavalry to get rid of his pursuers, Ye Ang ran to the foot of Chenshui Pass and yelled urgently.
"Congratulations, my lord, and congratulations to the military advisor! We successfully attacked the camp, but the enemy suffered heavy losses and was fired upon. The position is already in chaos!"
…
Ling Su stood at the top of the city, looking at Ye Ang below the city, and for no apparent reason, he let out a frustrated sigh in his heart.
