This early morning sneak attack went as quickly as it came!
Before Qiao Zhongkui's sergeants could think of a counterattack, Yuwen Chengdu had already led the troops of the Three Prefectures away! There was only smoke and dust on the ground, and more than 100,000 rockets burning in Qiao Zhongkui's camp.
!
In fact, the damage caused by these more than 100,000 rockets to Qiao Zhongkui's camp was not very great. They only burned down more than a thousand tents, more than 30 baggage trucks, and nearly a thousand soldiers, including Qiao Zhongkui, were unfortunate.
Dozens of people were killed by stray arrows, and the rest suffered minor or severe arrow wounds and burns!
Since there was no wind tonight, the fire was not too big, and it was quickly controlled and extinguished by Qiao Zhongkui's sergeants.
Even so, when the soldiers cleared the smoke-filled camp, it was already approaching Mao hour. Although it was not yet bright, the morning star had already risen in the east.
After ordering someone to draw a rocket to treat his wounds, he reluctantly completed a tour of the camp on horseback surrounded by sergeants. When Qiao Zhongkui returned to his commanding tent, a trace of white light had already appeared in the east.
Qiao Zhongkui, who felt exhausted both physically and mentally, had just laid down on the bed when she was already snoring like thunder!
It's a pity that this time, Yuwen Jackie Chan still didn't give Qiao Zhongkui a chance to sleep peacefully!
In this room, less than half an hour after Qiao Zhongkui fell asleep, the loud shouts of killing rang out again outside the camp!
Being awakened again, this time Qiao Zhongkui finally learned the lesson and stopped running outside the camp!
Qiao Zhongkui was not disappointed, but after half a quarter of an hour, a messenger came in from outside the tent to report, saying that he sent a team of men and horses to the front of the camp to scold the formation, and asked the general by name to go out to fight. He also said, if you don't
If you go out, you will be raised by a tortoise!
"That's too much!"
With a "bang" bang on the edge of the bed, Qiao Zhongkui stood up suddenly and cursed angrily.
Before she could stand up, Qiao Zhongkui fell down on the bed with an "ouch" again!
He was already extremely angry, but at this moment, the arrow sores broke out again. Qiao Zhongkui felt that his eyes were turning black and the world was spinning. Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Doctor! Call doctor! General Qiao fainted. Call doctor!"
The soldier who was delivering the order was quite alert. When he saw Qiao Zhongkui fainting, he hurriedly ran out of the tent and shouted loudly.
After a while, an old doctor carrying a medicine box ran over tremblingly, surrounded by several soldiers.
After pinching him and pressing his chest again, the old doctor worked hard for a long time and finally revived General Qiao Zhongkui!
“I’m so angry!” After beating her chest and spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, Qiao Zhongkui looked up to the sky with tears in her eyes and wailed.
No matter how sad and angry Qiao Zhongkui was, the shouting and cursing outside the camp continued, and the sound of war drums shook the mountains and the earth. Hiding in the military camp, let alone sleeping, one had to be careful even when eating and walking! Otherwise, no one would
Be careful, you may be shocked and fall to the ground!
Qiao Zhongkui's ability to endure was truly remarkable. Although he was so angry that he had sores on his mouth and pus on the soles of his feet, Qiao Zhongkui actually resisted the urge to send troops to fight!
Not only that, even the joint petition for war by several of his militants was suppressed by Qiao Zhongkui with his supreme authority.
In the torture that lasted for years, Qiao Zhongkui finally waited until night. The sergeant who scolded the formation finally returned to the camp to eat and go to bed. Qiao Zhongkui just breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there was no peace at night. It was still like yesterday. Every two or three quarters of an hour, someone would come and beat gongs and drums to disturb Qiao Zhongkui's camp.
"Tomorrow, as long as you wait for tomorrow, everything will be no problem!"
"According to the itinerary, if nothing unexpected happens, His Highness the King of Han's main army should be able to arrive outside Pujin Pass at the latest tomorrow night!"
"Although the two armies in Jizhou are far away, they should be arriving soon in the next two days!"…
"When we join forces, we will have an army of nearly 250,000 people!"
"At that time, if you want to deal with Yuwen Chenglong's pretty face, it will be just like playing!"
"You little pretty boy from the Yuwen family, just wait. If I don't manipulate you into eighteen tricks, I will take your surname!"
With her two big flaming eyes, Qiao Zhongkui comforted herself like this every time when she was about to burst into anger.
Not to mention, this method is indeed quite effective!
After reciting it silently in her mind for more than a dozen times, Qiao Zhongkui felt that her waist no longer hurt, her back no longer hurt, her legs no longer cramped, and she felt more energetic when walking! She even slept much more soundly!
Everything was just like yesterday. After beating the drum eight times in a row, around Yinshi, another group of cavalry fired more than 100,000 rockets into the camp of Qiao Zhongkui when passing by it, and then flew away!
However, this time, Qiao Zhongkui was already prepared. He ordered people to prepare fire prevention and fire-extinguishing materials in advance, and gathered all the flammable tents, luggage, etc. towards the center of the camp. At the same time, Qiao Zhongkui also asked the sergeants on the periphery to
Each person prepared a simple shield to resist stray arrows.
Due to better preparations, Qiao Zhongkui's camp suffered much less losses this time. Only a hundred tents were burned down, and more than a hundred people were injured by stray arrows, but no one died!
In addition to being happy, Qiao Zhongkui inspected the camp and hurried back to the commander's tent to rest!
"Well, when the enemy comes again next time, it should be the scolding formation at dawn? Judging from yesterday's situation, we should be able to be more practical this time! Moreover, our time to put out the fire is much shorter than yesterday. In this case, probably
I can have about an hour of rest time! Take the time to rest for a while! I am so tired! This kind of work is really not done by humans!"
Thinking like this, Qiao Zhongkui hurried back to the handsome tent and fell asleep!
Not only Qiao Zhongkui thinks so, but also the sergeants under him probably think so too!
Moreover, after one day and two nights of continuous hard work, these sergeants have become immune to Yuwen Chenglong's harassment policy to a certain extent.
What's more important is that they haven't had a good rest for two days and two nights. These soldiers are really tired!
So much so that one sentry stood on the top of the city wall holding a spear and fell asleep!
These confused soldiers did not notice that outside the camp at this moment, thousands of black shadows were crawling quietly and quickly towards the camp gate under the cover of night.
Various roadblocks were destroyed quietly, but within a quarter of an hour, the group of people who came forward had already reached the gate of Qiao Zhongkui's military camp.
After lying on the ground and tinkering for a while, a dark figure pressed against the door and opened the door like a civet cat.
At this time, a low string sound squeaked among the black shadows outside the camp.
Almost at the same time as the sound of the string sounded, thousands of small crossbow arrows shot out, killing hundreds of sentries on both sides of the camp gate without even landing.
Before the corpses of these sentries fell to the ground, the door of Qiao Zhongkui's military camp was creaking open!
The more than a thousand black shadows on the ground were like springs. They jumped up and rushed straight into the camp gate. There was no sound in the whole process.
Almost at the same time, a hundred feet away from the camp entrance, countless cavalrymen instantly lit the torches in their hands, immediately got on their horses, and urged their horses to rush towards the camp entrance.
What's weird is that when these tens of thousands of cavalry launched a charge together, there was no neighing of horses or human noise. Even the sound of horse hooves was so light that it was almost inaudible, just like ghost knights in the dark night!
