Chapter 152 Night attack on the camp
In the dim night of Songshan County, the atmosphere was extremely tense. On the city wall, more than a dozen rope ladders quietly hung down like black snakes, as if waiting for the arrival of prey. Du Chong, an experienced general, led a hundred soldiers in black clothes, all of whom held cut sticks in their mouths to prevent any noise from breaking the silence of the night.
Like ghosts walking in the night, these soldiers climbed the rope ladders carefully, approaching the ground step by step. Their movements were light and agile, as if they blended into the night. On the city wall, Yuan Quan and others held their breath and stared with their eyes, expecting these 100 warriors to successfully launch a sneak attack and pave the way for their victory.
Each of these 100 soldiers held a specially made waist knife in their hands, the knife light flashing in the night, revealing a chilling murderous intent. These waist knives were sharp weapons they found in the military camp in the county, and now they were becoming deadly weapons in their hands.
Led by Du Chong, the hundred soldiers cleverly used the surrounding vegetation as cover and cautiously approached the camp of the government army. Their goal was clear and their steps were firm, as if nothing could stop them from moving forward.
Du Chong lay outside the camp wall, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, carefully observing the situation in the camp. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were shining with determination. His men were also staring at him closely, knowing that as long as Du Chong gave the order, they would rush into the camp without hesitation and start a life-and-death battle.
After observing for a long time, Du Chong finally found the flaws of the sentinels. The sentinels were obviously exhausted. They hid in some hidden places and began to doze off. Du Chong could not help but feel angry. He thought: "These soldiers are really useless! If they were my subordinates, how dare they slack off in such a dangerous situation!"
However, Du Chong did not lose his mind because of anger. He calmly analyzed the situation and looked for the best time to attack. Finally, he found a wider wall and secretly approached the positions of the sentinels with his men.
The sentinels were still asleep, unaware of the approaching danger. When they were completely unprepared, Du Chong and his men rushed over like a tiger descending from a mountain. Their movements were swift and decisive, and in just a moment, the sentinels' necks were cut off by the sharp waist knives, and blood gushed out, dyeing the night red.
The night was as dark as ink. Under the city wall of Songshan County, a hundred soldiers in black were moving in the darkness like cheetahs. Du Chong's eyes flashed with a cold light. He raised his hand slightly and made a "ready" gesture. The soldiers held their breath instantly, and their heartbeats seemed to blend into the dead silence of the night.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, stirring up some bushes. Du Chong keenly caught the movement, and his eyes quickly swept to the positions of the sentinels. Sure enough, a sentinel opened his eyes slightly, as if he was awakened by the wind. He rubbed his eyes and was about to stand up, but he saw a black shadow passing by in an instant, and the sharp waist knife drew a silver arc in the moonlight.
"Puff!" With a muffled sound, the sentry fell into a pool of blood without even a groan. The other sentries were awakened by this sudden change. They wanted to shout in panic, but Du Chong's men had already appeared in front of them like ghosts.
"Kill!" Du Chong shouted in a low voice, exploding like thunder in the night sky. The soldiers were like a raging fire, instantly bursting out with amazing fighting power. Their swords flew in the night, and every swing was accompanied by the enemy's screams and the sound of falling to the ground.
The camp was in chaos. Torches were kicked over and the burning flames illuminated the chaotic battlefield. Du Chong led the soldiers like a sharp arrow and penetrated deep into the camp. With their familiarity with darkness and extraordinary fighting power, they quickly defeated the government troops in the camp.
In the chaos, Du Chong suddenly saw a general in armor trying to escape. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he chased after him. The general was shocked and turned around to draw his sword. But Du Chong's swordsmanship was already perfect, and with a flash of the sword, the general fell in a pool of blood.
At this time, the whole camp was in chaos. Because they set fire everywhere, no one knew how many enemies were coming.
Yuan Qun did not miss this opportunity. Moreover, the uncles around him were all experienced. They opened the city gate without hesitation, and each of them led a team of troops to kill towards the camp. At present, there were only about 3000 troops in the entire Songshan County, and these people had poor physical fitness due to lack of training and long-term hunger. If they fought outside the city during the day, they would have no chance of winning.
But now the entire government army was in chaos. First, those who were sent to provide logistics for the government army fled in all directions when they saw this situation. In addition, there were fires everywhere in the entire camp. Those government soldiers were also scared and ran around.
Zhou Kai didn't even have time to put on his armor. He rushed out of his tent with a sharp sword in his hand. This was his first time leading troops to fight in a real battle. He desperately called out to his personal guards.
"What's going on? Why is the camp in chaos?" Zhou Kai felt more confident when he saw four or five personal soldiers standing beside him. He asked loudly.
"General! The whole camp is in chaos now! The enemy has broken in! I think it's better for us to retreat! Wait for everyone to cooperate with us!" A personal soldier suggested at this time.
"That's the only way! Let's quickly withdraw from the camp and go to the open space to raise my flag! Let everyone gather under my flag!" Zhou Kai was influenced by his father since he was a child. Although he had never experienced a real battlefield, he still had some experience in dealing with these things. This was taught by his father.
His fat body climbed onto the chariot parked next to his tent at the fastest speed and ran out of the camp. Several personal soldiers also climbed onto the chariot, whipped the four horses, and pulled the chariot out of the camp.
At this time, Du Chong saw the situation here and chased over here, shouting as he chased.
"The enemy general has run away, let's chase him!" In this situation, the soldiers were still resisting under the command of their superiors. The most important thing was that Yuan Quan and his men were indeed a little short of troops. At this time, if these government troops could hold their ground, the outcome would be unpredictable.
