273 Wu Jun is furious

late at night.

The stars are sparse at night.

After resting for a day, a thousand light cavalry in Ye Xiao Camp carried a large number of gunpowder arrows and appeared quietly outside the Wu army camp in full spirit.

They burned the Wu army for two consecutive nights, and they had a lot of results and were already addicted to it.

The only one thousand soldiers in Yexiao Camp, with extremely small losses, can cause huge results to the 200,000 Wu army, and make the Wu army exhausted. It is difficult to achieve such an outstanding record during the day.

But it was seen that every 10,000-person camp of Wu army dug out a long gully, placed a horse-resisting horse, raised a bonfire, and sent two thousand soldiers to watch next to the bonfire.

If there were no two thousand miscellaneous soldiers guarding next to the horses, these horses would be easily moved away. The light cavalrymen in the night attack camp could easily pass through.

The cavalrymen attacked the camp at night and were shocked to see the Wu army waiting so seriously.

"Husband, the Wu army is so strict in defense. I am afraid that during the day, hundreds of thousands of their troops were busy digging ditches and refusing horses. The gully was at least half a mile away from the camp. Gunpowder and arrows could not shoot their camp."

Li Yu said in surprise.

Chu Tianxiu was also a little troubled when he saw the Wu army camp defending so much. "It seems that the King of Wu suffered a loss and learned a lesson. Since he couldn't defeat their camp... Then use gunpowder arrows to knock out all these miscellaneous soldiers!"

"Well! They are all miscellaneous soldiers, only swords and guns, and lack leather armor. However, they have wooden shields in their hands to guard against bows and arrows."

Li Yudao.

One thousand light cavalrymen in the Night Owl Camp took out bows and arrows, as well as extremely powerful gunpowder arrows. These gunpowder arrows not only have long range, but also exploded and had a strong lethality.

With a burst of shots, thousands of gunpowder arrows flew towards the 2,000 soldiers watching the night next to the bonfire!

These mistresses worked all day long during the day, exhausted, and were resting listlessly on the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

"Ah~!"

Suddenly, a dense scream sounded, and some miscellaneous soldiers were caught in an arrow before they could raise their shields.

"Rise the shield!"

"Cover, cover!"

The soldiers raised their shields one after another and lined up a row of volleys against gunpowder arrows.

Thousands of gunpowder arrows fell around them, and the rumbling explosions made people rush over and over.

The power of a gunpowder tube is not very strong, but the explosion of thousands of gunpowder such a dense explosion still caused great casualties.

The sound of horse hooves outside the ditch quickly disappeared.

Ye Xiao Camp did not fight against them in close combat, but rushed directly to the next Wu army camp. Soon, the sound of explosions and screams sounded again.

...

The Wu army camp was in a noisy night, and many soldiers were guarding by the bonfire and did not dare to rest.

Wait after dawn.

The Ye Xiaoying Camp quickly retreated and disappeared deep in the wilderness.

Dozens of generals from the twenty-five 10,000 camps came to King Xiang Bi of Wu to report the losses of the soldiers of each camp.

After the generals gathered it, they all took a breath of air conditioning.

Last night, nearly 3,000 soldiers died, and as many as 20,000 soldiers were injured by the bombing... Although these soldiers were not dead, they almost lost their combat effectiveness after being injured, and it was difficult to go to the battlefield again within a month.

In one night, nearly 20,000 troops were reduced. Injured soldiers would become a drag, not only consuming food, but also consuming a large amount of healing medicinal materials.

This is almost comparable to the loss of attacking Wanling City for several days.

The combat power of this night attack camp is too fierce.

"Father, you can't stand it like this! In less than ten days and half a month, our 250,000 Wu army will be dragged down by Xiaohunhou's night attack camp, and they will all be defeated into disabled soldiers."

Xiang Xian's eyes were red, "Just pull up more than 200,000 troops and fight with Xiaohunhou! If we don't fight now, we will not be able to fight in ten days and half a month."

"Your Majesty, you really can't stay here.

We simply set off all the Wu army and went to attack Danyang County.

Danyang County is only one zhang high, and you can rush up with a ladder. It is easy for the siege and the siege cars to deal with the county. After taking down Danyang County, we will have a place to settle down."

The Prime Minister also said anxiously.

"But, 250,000 troops will attack Danyang County. Our rear route and grain transport line will be cut off by the defenders of Wanling City. Once the grain line is broken, our Wu army will be in danger."

King Xiang Bi of Wu said in a deep voice.

"King, our army only needs to bring ten days of food and grass. Attack the Danyang County, it will definitely be captured within two or three days. Let's go back and attack Wanling City again!"

"good!"

"A new batch of food and grass in our army has just been delivered, and it is solving the urgent problem."

"Capture a city first so that the army can rest and avoid being attacked by the night attack camp."

The generals didn't want to be turtles anymore. They were beaten so badly by a night attack camp of Xiaohunhou, and they couldn't stand this tone.

Originally, they didn't want to fight Danyang County.

However, the defense was so tight last night that they were still beaten so badly by the night attack camp. Even if they didn't want to fight, they had to fight.

Otherwise, if you drag on it, you will lose this battle.

"Okay! Since the generals have this determination!"

Seeing that all the ministers and generals strongly requested, King Xiang Bi of Wu shouted: "As soon as I listened to my order, the army immediately set off the camp and attacked Danyang County.

Xiaohunhou is known as the new generation of war gods of Great Chu, so I went to compete with him personally! See what he has to do and defeat my 200,000 army."

"yes!"

The generals agreed.

Outside Wanling City, more than 200,000 Wu troops set up camps, ignored the defenders of Wanling City, and went straight to Danyang City.

Without this anger, the Wu army could not vent the hatred in his heart.

Those Wu army, who died and were seriously injured and unable to fight again, were sent back to Kuaiji to avoid wasting food and grass and becoming a burden.

The Wu army who actually headed to Danyang County had a total of 200,000 troops left. The elite cavalry, 20,000 elite infantry, and the remaining 150,000 miscellaneous soldiers rushed to Danyang County.

The daily speed of infantry travels is about 100 miles a day.

The 200,000 Wu army had too many infantry and a large amount of supplies, food and grass. The march was not too fast and it took about a day to arrive at Danyang County.

The top of Wanling City.

The prefect Xie Anran, Princess Xiang Ling, the generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city were shocked when they saw that more than 200,000 Wu army troops had set out to attack half of Wanling City.

Wanling City was besieged by the Wu army for six or seven days, with heavy losses, five or six thousand casualties, and the equipment to defend the city was greatly damaged. It seemed that it would take only three or five days to defend it, but the Wu army actually left.

"Wu Jun is gone?"

"It seems that they are heading towards Danyang County. They are going to attack Danyang County?!"

"Last night attack was quite fierce. It must be that Xiaohunhou beat them up and they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take down Danyang County first."

"The siege of Wanling City has finally been lifted. Immediately report to the court about the battle situation in Wanling City, Fei Ge sent a letter to inform the court of the movements of the Wu army and the Xiaohunhou of Danyang County."

"Also, after the Wu army attacked Danyang County, they would definitely turn back to attack our Wanling City. Immediately build a batch of equipment to defend the city to replenish arrows and food."
