Chapter 146 Attacking the Camp

In the city of Jingyang, in the main tent of the government army camp, there were two young officers, both wearing black Jiepi, Jinxian crown, crimson silk robe, with plain silk wrapped around their belts around their waists, and red ribbon seal bags.

There was a lot of dust and even blood on his clothes, but his face was wiped very clean.

"You weren't the best in today's battle, but for the sake of comradeship, we will support you. We're all going to die anyway, so please take care of my family, brother."

"Brother, why are you talking so dejectedly? Tonight's battle will either leave a good reputation or a bad reputation. Everyone should have some ambitions. What if they come true?"

"Okay, the brothers in the following battalions have the same idea as me, but the guy with the bad voice probably won't be able to speak again."

"what do you mean?"

"It's just what you think. Don't let me down."

One of the speakers was Yan Ruxiang, and the other was Shi Yongzhi, a captain from the same military camp.

In today's battle, we only killed more than a thousand Northern Hun cavalry and seized hundreds of war horses.

However, more than 2,000 infantrymen of the Great Zhou were killed and more than 1,000 were injured, with a casualty ratio of three to one. For the army of the Great Zhou, this was already very good.

It was no coincidence that Yan Ruxiang was able to enter the garrison general's camp. Firstly, the officer suddenly lost his voice during the day, and secondly, it was because his brothers showed favor to him and put him in this position.

The number of 30,000 Generals of Cavalry is obviously too few, but it is only temporary, and it is already a good title to have.

"Brothers, everyone was under the command of their respective generals before. Now we have all withdrawn from the border. I will temporarily take over the position of general. My name is Yan Ruxiang."

He said this in order to gain the recognition of the lieutenant officers who were previously at the same rank as him.

If suddenly a captain comes up to you and tells you that he is your general, Yan Ruxiang would think it is abnormal if these people are not curious.

Everyone was fighting well in the morning, but now no one can say who is braver.

"It's you, I know, the captain who came with us. You have people who came here before, right? I have a thousand more people than you, but you fought well during the day and were the first to use the dragon head.

Yan Ruxiang took a look and saw that it was the battalion next to his team, and it was also his team that followed, which made his team show good results.

"So it's you. May I ask your name?"

"I dare not boast before the general. I, Deng Liu, have had a great time fighting alongside the general."

"Deng Liu? Very good. We're going to attack the camp tonight and I'm short of a lieutenant general. Would you like to go?"

“I’m willing to go!!!”

Hearing that Deng Liu was willing to go with him, Yan Ruxiang was overjoyed. He was worried that the army would be short of a general.

So, the troops were divided into three groups, with Shi Yongzhi and Deng Liu leading the left and right groups, each with 10,000 men.

"Okay, everyone, get some rest early and set off at 10:00 p.m."

After dismissing the people, Yan Ruxiang put on new armor, a battle robe, and a sword on his waist. His temperament instantly improved a lot.

He went to see Shi Yongzhi during dinner.

"Brothers, I came to see you." Yan Ruxiang said.

"I'm afraid he's not here just to show off." Shi Yongzhi joked.

"How could this be? You carried me, and I was still like that. Is this something a human being would do?"

"I think you are..."

The one who speaks in a very sour tone is Chai Jin.

Today, Chai Jin followed Yan Ruxiang and blocked an arrow for him. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and was not injured in the vital parts.

As a result, he went to recuperate, Yan Ruxiang became a general, and he himself did not get promoted at all.

We all fight the enemy together, and your brothers won't be jealous if you get promoted and make money. But when you get promoted, you have to pull your brothers along, that's the way it is, and only then will others be willing to help you.

"Okay, stop being so jealous. I've got a spot for you. I have a personal guard and need a lieutenant. The maximum number of members is only a thousand, and I'm looking for five hundred right now. Are you willing?"

"Hey, personal guards, the best equipment and armor, as well as war horses, one can defeat ten."

Now it was Shi Yongzhi's turn to feel jealous, and he bumped into Chai Jin with his body.

"Don't be jealous. You are only a general. The army has 5,000 men, but the boss gave you 10,000 men. You should be content."

"Okay, stop bickering. Have you eaten? I'm still hungry."

It was Yan Ruxiang's first day as a general, and all his troops were temporarily assembled. If he didn't know a group of people in Yanqing Prefecture, his words would be like air.

"There are delicious dishes. Soldiers will have extra meals. Oh, according to your instructions, everyone should bring an extra steamed bun. Is that right?"

"Stone, closed anus, good things don't work but bad things do."

Although Chai Jin's official position was not high, he moved around a lot in Yanqing Prefecture and knew everyone there, so he was not bothered by the size of his official position.

"He's right. Be careful at night. Get the torches and kerosene ready. We're going to attack the joint camp today."

What else could Yan Ruxiang say? According to reports, the remaining 70,000 allied forces, along with their food and fodder, had gathered fifteen miles north of Jingyang City, apparently planning a battle tomorrow.

That's why they attacked the camp in the middle of the night, burned the enemy's food and supplies, and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Huns' camp.

The plan was perfect, and this was the first time Yan Ruxiang commanded a military operation with so many people.

Deng Liuchun was just a soldier who earned his rations and had no thoughts. He just went to bed after dinner.

Outside the city, the Hun army set up camp. Time was short and some tents had not been set up until dusk, so they could only rest next to the stacks of food and hay.

"Pass the order down. Everyone take up your weapons and leave the city lightly. We will take the west gate and take a detour."

Yan Ruxiang sat in the main seat of the big tent, looked at Shi Yongzhi beside him, and gave orders to Chai Jin.

Soon, the 10,000 men assigned to Deng Liu's right-wing army gathered and led the troops out of the city holding the tiger talisman.

"Shitou, do you understand where your team is ambushing? We'll split up immediately. I'll start the fight in the middle, using the fire as a signal."

Shi Yongzhi smiled upon hearing this and said, "My great general, you have just become a high-ranking official and you are already taking care of your brothers. Don't worry."

As the name suggests, a raid on the enemy camp is an attack on the enemy camp, and it is best to attack at night.

Relatively speaking, this is a life-or-death mission.

You know, there are still at least 90,000 people in the Hun camp outside the Great Wall.

There are only 30,000 of them.

The enemy is three times larger than ours, so the key to fighting this battle is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

There are many new recruits in the team, and some are veterans, the kind that can’t be any older.

Sometimes Yan Ruxiang felt that these veterans were not as good as the new recruits. At least the new recruits were strong, while the veterans had nothing but some experience.

After leaving the west city gate, we took the small path, crossed the mountains and ridges, and it took us an hour and a half to cross the mountains and get out of the pass.

After walking for another half an hour, they finally reached the back of the Hun army camp.

"Chai Jin, what did you see?"

"I can't see anything, but there seems to be a fire in the distance."

"Yes, a campfire. This is the campfire outside the main camp. It's a thousand steps away from the main camp. They are burning here. If we go over there, the campfire will go out, and the people behind us will know that someone is attacking the camp."

"What should we do? It looks like there are quite a few people here, about a hundred or so!"

"Did you notice that they don't have a tent? I suspect they'll leave soon."

"Really, there really is no tent." Chai Jin was so excited that his voice became louder.

"What are you yelling about? Do you want to tip off the enemy?" Yan Ruxiang was so angry that he picked up the scabbard and hit Chai Jin.

"We are now entering the Zi hour. At the Yin hour, we will launch our attack and assault the enemy camp. Do you understand?"

"understand……"

The people around him passed the message out one by one, and then passed it back one by one.

"We still have to wait for an hour. Take some time to rest. It's too cold. Walk around a bit and don't make any noise."

Five hundred meters away, the people at the campfire seemed to have left. It was not easy to hold on until this time in such cold weather.

There was no moon in the sky and visibility was very low at this time of night.

If there was no one in the distance, the noise made by these people would not be heard at all in the enemy camp.
