Chapter 59 Night Raid Battalion
Zhu Ran Camp.
More than twenty Jiangdong soldiers sat next to the fire.
According to military rules, soldiers who watch the night should perform their duties and at least be patrolled by the local government. It is absolutely not allowed to gather together like this.
However, it is winter now, and the night is cold, and it is north of the camp, so there is absolutely no enemy. The so-called patrol and guarding the night is just a gesture. Moreover, it is late at night and Zhu Ran has already gone to bed. It doesn't matter if the soldiers are lazy without supervision. The officers on duty also knew that the night watch was hard on this cold winter, so they turned a blind eye to the night watchmen gathered together to cook fire.
Compared to the soldiers guarding the night patrol in the south, it would be much harder to make Maicheng in the south? In order to prevent Guan Yu from raiding in Maicheng, the night guards in the south still had to be motivated. Although everyone knows that Guan Yu is unable to protect himself now, Zhu Ran was worried that Guan Yu would fight a trapped beast. Therefore, there were several times more soldiers guarding the south than in the north.
A soldier stood up from the fire and stretched his waist. The cold wind rushed into the gap in his collar instantly. The soldier shrank his neck and said cursingly: "It's so cold this day. How long will we have to stay here!"
"Wait, wait, when Guan Yu breaks through, we won't have to be beaten here!" A veteran raised his head and said.
Suddenly, the veteran stared at the distance with his eyes tightly and murmured: "Hey, do you think there is someone there?"
The few people next to him immediately looked out and saw a large group of people in the north who were in a dark place, and they couldn't tell how many people had come.
"Brother, there is indeed someone!"
At this time, the soldiers reacted, and the veteran shouted hurriedly: "Enemy attack, get up quickly, the enemy attacks!"
At the same time, Liao Hua also began to speed up and rushed up. Liao Hua shouted: "Roll!" Then he slapped his horse, waved his gun and rushed up, and in a blink of an eye he was distanced from Adou.
Adou was stunned and wanted to speed up the chase, but Adou's riding skills were really not very good, which was far worse than Liao Hua. Adou went around for a long time, and the distance between Liao Hua not only did not shorten, but also increased a lot.
There is a saying that there is no general Liao Hua in Shu as a vanguard. When Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang, the vanguard was Liao Hua. It seems that Liao Hua is really a vanguard. Now Liao Hua takes the lead and storm the enemy camp, smashing the fire on the ground with one shot. Mars splashed everywhere and landed on the surrounding construction, and it immediately burned. Seeing this, Adou sighed behind him. It seems that Liao Hua has also made experience as a vanguard.
The air in winter is dry, and the tent is made of wood and tarpaulin, which is extremely flammable. As long as it is pointed on the tent, a black hole will be burned immediately. If you let it burn like this, the entire tent will soon burn.
People in winter are sleepy, and in the cold weather, everyone wants to stay in bed. At this time, it is the time when a person is sleeping the most. Liao Hua seizes this opportunity and rushed in. It really seems like a tiger entering a wolf pack, as if there is no one. Many people wake up in a daze, only to see the fire outside flashing, and the shouts of killing are deafening. More people don’t even have time to take their weapons. When they walk out of the camp, they only see many people retreating constantly, so they follow the brigade back.
Zhu Ran was awakened by the shouts of killing at the first moment. At this moment, Zhu Ran immediately realized that there was an enemy attacking at night. Zhu Ran forced himself to calm down. Logically speaking, only Guan Yu from Maicheng could raid him at this time, and Guan Yu's entire army was only a thousand people. As long as he did not panic and resisted properly, he should be able to stop it with his five thousand troops.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ran took a deep breath, and the cold air sucked into Zhu Ran's lungs, making Zhu Ran's mind clear. Zhu Ran immediately picked up the armor from the shelf next to him, and while wearing it, he secretly scolded the scouts he sent out. Guan Yu went out of the city to raid him, but these idiots didn't notice it at all! When Guan Yu was driven away, they must be punished for their crimes.
Zhu Ran quickly put on his armor and walked out with a spear. He saw the flames shaking outside, and a large number of Jiangdong troops were fleeing everywhere.
"Hmph, what kind of pride is it!" Zhu Ran shouted: "Don't run away, line up to resist immediately. Anyone who retreats will be killed immediately!"
Zhu Ran said, personally chopping down several fleeing soldiers. Zhu Ran’s dozen personal guards rushed out in cooperation and raised their swords to slash at the soldiers who were still running away.
This move was indeed effective. After forty or fifty people died, everyone was shocked, and they all stopped and began to consciously arrange the array to prepare for resistance.
Zhu Ran nodded with satisfaction. Now Zhu Ran still believes that his military strength is superior. As long as he can organize his resistance, he will definitely defeat the enemy.
Suddenly, Zhu Ran discovered a problem. Why were his soldiers running south just now? If Guan Yu came from Maicheng in the south, everyone should run north! When did Guan Yu go around behind him?
At this time, Zhu Ran saw that the Shu army had already come to his sight. He saw a general from afar, flying up and down with steel guns in his hands, almost every move would take away a life.
Although the visibility at night was relatively low, Zhu Ran still recognized it at a glance. The general holding the gun was Liao Hua who broke out a few days ago!
Didn’t Liao Hua break through? Why did he appear here? Could it be that he has brought in reinforcements?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ran shook his head. Meng Da and Liu Feng were clearly intercepted by Xu Sheng in the west, and were still far away from him. Not to mention that Xu Sheng had an army of 50,000, while Meng Da only had 20,000 people. Even if Meng Da successfully broke through Xu Sheng's defense line, Lu Meng would have sent someone to notify him. Therefore, Meng Da and Liu Feng would never be able to appear here.
Now it seems that the enemy came from the north. Logically speaking, the north of Maicheng is Xiangyang's territory. Xiangyang is Cao Cao's territory. If Cao Cao's army suddenly came over, it would be normal, but now the troops are clearly led by Liao Hua, and judging from his clothes, the enemy's army is indeed Shu.
What's going on? Zhu Ran was full of doubts at this time. There were too many doubts here, and Zhu Ran couldn't figure it out at all.
Zhu Ran swept around, and his soldiers had gradually begun to organize resistance. Zhu Ran looked up at the distance and did not find Guan Yu and Guan Ping. Zhu Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one Liao Hua, and Zhu Ran still had the confidence to fight with others. If Guan Yu or Guan Ping were there, Zhu Ran would definitely hide behind the army and pretend to be a grandson. You must know that Guan Yu and Guan Ping are both good at "instant people". Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they didn't last for three seconds in Guan Yu's hands. Zhu Ran didn't want to rush out foolishly and be killed instantly.
Now that Guan Yu and Guan Ping are not around, Zhu Ran is much more courageous. He saw Zhu Ran flying on his horse, rushing towards Liao Hua with a gun, and shouting, "Don't be arrogant, little brother Liao Hua, Zhu Ran is here!"
