Chapter 287 Burning Grain

The night is deep, and the stars and moon are in the sky.

The cavalry, like a ghost, hurried forward in the dark.

Gan Ning looked back at the east direction and saw the direction of the wild king, and the fire was shining like the day.

The sound of horses' hoofs could not hide the sound of killing faintly poured into the eardrums. Gan Ning knew that a fierce bloody battle was going on the front line of the wild king for more than ten miles.

More than two hours ago, Liu Bei's army, which pretended to withdraw troops to the west, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the army on the front line of the wild king from three directions in the north and south. Among them, the number of enemy troops directly attacking the Chinese army camp where General Liu Feng was located reached as many as 30,000.

Gan Ning in the Wild King City clearly witnessed the fierce confrontation.

Immediately, he and his 4,000 cavalry received a secret order from Liu Feng to act according to the plan.

Gan Ning did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately led 4,000 cavalry out of the city and walked lightly, bypassing the frontal battlefield of the two sides of the war from the north. With the cover of the night, he went straight into the rear of Liu Bei's defense line.

More than two hours have passed, and now it is only more than 20 miles away from the enemy Shimen grain camp.

If it is placed in peacetime, Gan Ning's light cavalry can easily bypass the ears and eyes of Liu Bei's army and interspersed behind the enemy.

It is precisely today that Liu Bei used all his energy and troops for this night's night attack. In his opinion, this was an assault that made Liu Feng defenseless at all.

It was Liu Bei's ambition to win, but on the contrary, it gave Gan Ning the loophole of planning.

The horses' hoofs ran, and along the way, but encountered the cross-examination of Liu Bei's army's cruises, Gan Ning either lied that his army had deceived him, or directly surrounded the interrogated enemy.

When the day was dark, 4,000 cavalry finally saw the shadow of the grain camp.

On the bank of Qinshui, the battalions for several miles can be faintly seen, and the mountain-like granaries stand abruptly in the camp.

As expected in advance, the enemy in the camp was unprepared.

The gate of the fortress is not closed, and the antlers around the camp are not dense. From afar, except for the sporadic patrols wandering around the camp, there is no sign of a big enemy.

Gan Ning's eyes flashed with a ferocious killing. He did not hesitate for a moment, shouted loudly, and slapped the horse to kill the enemy camp.

Four thousand light rides, like a black turbid tide, pouring out.

The four hooves of the war horse have been wrapped in cloth. Although the four hooves are running, the vibration caused is far less loud as usual.

It was not until the 4,000 cavalry killed more than a hundred steps in the camp that the enemy soldiers on duty and patrol noticed the abnormal situation from the tremor under their feet.

I was suddenly shocked. When my eyes swept away, countless murderous ghosts had rushed out of the darkness.

The sound of the golden drum stood up, and all the sleeping soldiers were shocked. Before they could put on their armor, they were scolded by the officers and kicked out of the camp.

Thousands of enemies went straight to the edge of the camp, and the scene was extremely hasty. When they were not as good as forming a defensive formation, hundreds of leading enemy riders had broken through the camp.

Gan Ning took the lead, crossed the edge, and ruthlessly put down the enemy soldiers who could not reach the array. A large number of cavalry behind them broke through the antlers, either holding torches high, or waving weapons, roaring into the Shimen grain camp.

Four thousand light riders, divided into three paths, launched an attack on the enemy camp from the northeast and south at the same time. With the speed of the cavalry and the cover of the night, they successfully hit the enemy unexpectedly.

Thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers were either killed or scattered in confusion. Gan Ning, who successfully raided, ordered the soldiers to set fire everywhere. In the granaries, all the mountains of grain and fodder were burned.

At dawn, the whole Shimen grain camp had turned into a sea of fire.

############# On the front line of the wild king, Liu Bei is commanding his army and launching a fierce attack on the southern camp.

What he is facing is Liu Feng's Chinese army camp. There are trenches dug outside the camp and four antlers, which is the strongest of all enemy camps.

Liu Bei launched a strong attack from this solid barracks with 30,000 elite soldiers. Among the 30,000 soldiers, there were also 10,000 new troops transferred from Guanzhong to the front line.

These ten thousand soldiers and horses are all newly recruited warriors from Xiliang. After nearly a year of training by Kong Ming, their combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to Liu Bei's elite soldiers.

Moreover, the original armies of both sides have been deadlocked on the front line of the wild king for a long time, and the soldiers have been exhausted. The 10,000 soldiers and horses that have just participated are enough to be called the strongest place in the whole battlefield.

However, what made Liu Bei anxious was that although his high-spirited soldiers launched the most fierce attack on the enemy camp, the effect was not satisfactory.

The attack lasted for the whole night, and the four antlers on the periphery of the enemy camp were only broken twice. His soldiers were still braveling the rain of arrows and struggling to chop the remaining two antlers, while the arrows in the enemy camp did not seem to weaken at all.

Not only in the middle of the road, according to the war reports, the rest of the raid troops also encountered the tenacious resistance of the enemy at the first time, and there was no effect that could achieve the success of the raid.

It seems that the enemy has been on guard against its night attack plan for a long time.

The sky gradually brightens. Once the sky is bright and the vision is opened, the lethality of the enemy's bows and crossbows will be greatly improved. At that time, it will also mean the failure of this full-line night attack.

At this time, it was Zhang Fei, the third brother, who rushed to me.

"The elite soldiers of the whole army are delivered to you. Why can't you break the camp at this time!" Liu Bei was a little angry and shouted to Zhang Fei in a reprimanding tone.

Zhang Fei rushed over at this time. Originally, he was going to complain to Liu Bei about the enemy's tenacity and wanted to ask for more soldiers and horses, but he was scolded by Liu Bei and suddenly felt ashamed.

In shame, my heart suddenly became angry, so the snake spear raised and shouted, "Brother, don't worry, if I don't break through the enemy camp within an hour, my Zhang Fei's name will be written backwards."

After saying that, he only arched his hand and ran away.

Returning to this battle, Zhang Fei led 3,000 elites of the Chinese army out and personally joined the attacking regiment.

The "Zhang" flag on that side is like the wind, galloping from the rear to the front line. The military flag is hunting, and it can be seen within a few miles.

The commander's flag represents the location of the general. As soon as the soldiers saw the flag, they realized that General Zhang Fei had come to the front line in person.

In this way, the morale of the generals was greatly encouraged. Inspired by the fighting spirit, the offensive became more and more fierce.

In the southern army camp at this time, Liu Fengzheng stood on the horse and quietly watched the confrontation between the two armies on the front line of the camp gate.

The cracking of Liu Bei's army's offensive was indeed beyond his imagination.

Since the confrontation in Yizhou, Liu Feng has not had a face-on confrontation with Liu Bei for many years. Before he entered Hanoi, his impression of Liu Bei's army only stayed at the time of competing for Shuzhong.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Bei seized Yongliang, the number of troops not only expanded in a short period of time, but also its combat effectiveness was one step higher than before.

Zhuge Liang's training method is really unique.

At present, the third antlers have been broken, and it has been a moment since the enemy broke through the camp. It seems that a life-and-death battle related to success or failure is inevitable.

"Bre my gun."

Liu Feng stretched out his hand, and the left and right troops presented his heavy gun. He clenched the heavy silver gun, tightened his armor, and was ready for a bloody battle.

The sky is getting clearer, the fourth antler has been broken, and the more brave the enemy is in the Vietnam War, following the "Zhang" flag.

At this moment, a sneer appeared on Liu Feng's face.

In the bright starry eyes, there is a faint flash of fire.

In the west of this battlefield, at the end of the sky, the light of wolf smoke and fire are rising to the sky.

Liu Feng knew that it was Gan Ning's surprise army that burned grain.

Seeing this signal, Liu Feng raised his silver gun and shouted, "The whole army, attack!"

The drums of the attack rumbled, and the flag of the Chinese army pointed directly at the enemy outside the camp.

It was originally the southern army on the defensive side. Seeing the signal of attack, more than 20,000 soldiers suddenly boiled in blood. They all scrambled to break out of the camp without waiting for the enemy to attack.

At this time, the enemy outside the camp was attacking, but he didn't expect that the enemy, who had been struggling to defend, suddenly left the camp and took the initiative to launch a counterattack.

Although Zhang Fei was surprised, the enemy's counterattack was just a dying struggle in his opinion, which was in line with his heart, so he waved his army to cover up, and more than 30,000 elites rushed up like wolves and tigers.

More than 50,000 soldiers from both sides fought together on the front line of the Chinese army camp. At this time, Liu Feng's inspirational idea moved, so he ordered hundreds of relatives to shout loudly: "The enemy's grain has been burned out, and Liu Bei has fled."

Although the number of these hundreds of people is not large, at the same time, they hold their voices and make their voices in unison, like a muffled thunder, which immediately covered the noise of the whole battlefield. No matter the enemy and our methods, they all heard it.

On the battlefield, it is not new to disturb the morale of the enemy in this way. Liu Bei's subordinates are not idiots. Naturally, they will not be fooled so easily.

However, when they hear the enemy shouting like this, they can't help looking at the direction of the army's grain camp.

It doesn't matter. What they see is fireworks rising from the sky in the northwest.

Although they can't see where the fire in the rear is, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that they all know that the direction of the grain camp is in the northwest.

The military heart was in chaos in an instant.

Panic, like a plague, spread rapidly in the whole army.

Soon, not only in the middle, but also the troops attacking other battalions saw the fire in the northwest.

The original high fighting spirit wavered in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the enemy was depressed, Liu Feng made a decisive decision and ordered all battalions to attack on all fronts to launch the deadliest counterattack against the enemy.

Liu Feng himself was a jumping horse with a gun and personally led thousands of Chinese troops to join the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed. Seeing that he was at a low hand, Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

When he heard the shouts of the enemy, he couldn't help looking back.

When Liu Bei saw the blazing fire in the northwest, his whole old face instantly became as white as paper.
