Chapter 242 Night raid on the party camp

"Want to ask for help? Hum~" Cao Wei threw a letter in his hand onto the desk, and his face was sneered with disdain. Li Zhang and others below were shocked when they heard this, because this letter was sent by Li Deming, who had been unwilling to retreat outside the city.

Although Li Deming suffered a defeat last time, he was not willing to lose. Instead, he regrouped and came again. However, this time he did not dare to fight head-on with the Song army. Instead, he divided into two groups, one of which restrained the main force of the Song Dynasty in Tuoyuanzhai, and the other group went around the rear to try to sneak attack Qingzhou City. However, Cao Wei was prepared for a long time, and Qingzhou also had strict defense. The attack on Qingzhou City not only did not gain any advantage, but was sent by Cao Wei to sneak attack their rear route, causing the Dangxiang people to suffer heavy losses again.

"General, the battle has reached this point, and we have already gained the upper hand. We must not let Dangxiang people go so easily!" At this time, Wang Fang, the guard general of Tuoyuan Village, immediately stood up and expressed his position.

Now the Song Dynasty has the upper hand. After the Dangxiang people attacked Qingzhou went deep into the rear, the people along the route were also affected, and countless villages were destroyed. The whole Qingzhou was also very angry. This was also the way Cao Wei sent cavalry to attack the other party's rear route before. If Li Deming had not sent troops to support him, the Dangxiang people who attacked Qingzhou would probably have died at the city of Qingzhou. However, even so, less than one-third of the Dangxiang cavalry fled back in the end.

Wang Fang is a veteran in the army, and his attitude also represents the attitude of most generals in the army. Therefore, at this time, other generals also expressed their intention to fight to the end. Dangxiang's army suffered huge losses and was on an expedition. The logistics pressure would definitely be great. As long as they dragged each other tightly, they might be able to keep all the main force of Dangxiang here.

"Of course, we can't let them go so easily. The entire army is ready to attack the Dangxiang Camp tonight!" Cao Wei sneered at this time, and then ordered.

As soon as Cao Wei said that, everyone was stunned. After all, they didn't expect Cao Wei to take the initiative, and time was still so tight. But then they became excited again, because they thought that this was a good opportunity. Li Deming sent the letter to seek peace. I'm afraid he would never have thought that the Song army would attack their camp tonight. After all, according to common sense, even if the Song Dynasty did not agree to the documents for seeking peace, it would take several days to consider.

"Wang Fang, I ordered you to lead three thousand cavalry to act as the vanguard of night attacks. Be sure to break out of the opponent's camp, then set fire in the palace, and try to create chaos in the opponent's camp..." Cao Wei smiled slightly when he saw the reaction of his soldiers, and then issued orders one by one, and the generals who received the military order also took the orders one by one.

Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin next to him were very excited at first, but when they heard the last one, Cao Wei did not call their names, which made them a little anxious. Until everyone else had left, Cao Ma asked anxiously: "Father, what are the arrangements for our Musket Army?"

"You..." Cao Wei showed a hesitant expression at this time, because the musket army is not suitable for participating in night attacks. After all, the sight at night is unknown, and the musket can easily hurt his own people by mistake. In addition, this time it took the initiative to attack. At that time, the two sides were close to each other, and it would be difficult for muskets to play a role, but if they were approached by the enemy, they would probably have to suffer a considerable casualties.

"You don't want to participate in this night attack..."

As soon as Cao Wei said, Cao Mata said anxiously: "Father, you can't favor one or the other. Although our musket army is restricted at night, other branches of the military are similar. Moreover, the Dangxiang people are blind ghosts at night. As long as we can enter the camp, they can also play a significant role!"

Seeing his son's anxious look, Cao Wei smiled calmly and said, "What's the hurry? I haven't finished saying it yet!"

Cao Wei deliberately paused when he said this, and even picked up the tea bowl next to him and drank a sip of tea. This made Cao Mata and Hu Yan Shouxin both slash their heads in a hurry. Finally, he saw Cao Wei say again: "You don't participate in this night attack, but I have other arrangements!"

Cao Wei said that he took a map from the table, and pointed to a position behind Dangxiang Camp and said: "This place is called Guimadao. If this sneak attack is successful, Li Deming's defeat will definitely retreat from here, because this is the only way back to Dangxiang. Your task is to immediately bypass Dangxiang Camp and ambush here. When Dangxiang's defeated soldiers pass by here, they will catch him off guard again!"

"I understand!" Cao Mata and Hu Yan Shouxin immediately shouted excitedly when they heard this. Although it was a pity that they could not participate in the night attack, their musket army was indeed very affected at night and could easily hurt friendly forces. However, they would not have this concern when they were ambushed on Dangxiang's way to retreat. If they were lucky, they might be able to capture or kill Li Deming alive, of course, the premise was that Li Deming could survive the Song army's night attack.

After receiving the order, Cao Mata and Hu Yan Shouxin and others went back to prepare immediately. In fact, their time was tighter because they had to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dangxiang people and surrounded the rear, and at the same time they had to ambush them. However, they didn't have much time left, so shortly after they returned, the musket army quietly left Tuoyuanzhai under their leadership and marched all the way to the ghost road.

Li Zhang actually wanted to go with Cao Ma and the others, but unfortunately Cao Wei did not allow him to leave the city at all. He also gave him a task for this, which was to temporarily hand over the injured barracks to him for management. During this period, Li Zhang also wrote down some of the injured barracks' regulations, and taught the military doctors the method of stitching wounds. In fact, this method is difficult and difficult, simple and simple, and the human body is far less fragile as people imagine.

In addition, Li Zhang also found that the body resistance of the ancients was far stronger than that of later generations. For example, the wounded soldiers he treated last time only used herbs after the wound was sutured, and no anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics were used at all, but most of them were not infected. Thinking about the sanitary conditions at that time, if it were placed in later generations, there were probably only a few who could survive under the same conditions.

Of course this is also normal. After all, due to the abuse of antibiotics and other drugs in later generations, not only will the body become a little fragile, and its resistance to external bacteria is reduced, but it will also increase the resistance of bacteria and viruses, and even "super bacteria" appear. If the bacteria in the future evolve into this super bacteria, even if humans do not die, they will probably have to pay an extremely heavy price.

He could not participate in the night attack, so Li Zhang could only stay in Tuoyuan Village. Although the wounded barracks were given to him for temporary management, Li Zhang did not intend to overstep his authority. After all, there were special officials here, so Li Zhang just checked and found that the wounded barracks had made great changes according to his requirements, especially the sanitary conditions. Not only was the gauze steamed by boiling water, but the ground was cleaned very clean, which made him very satisfied. Then he asked the original officials to perform their duties, and he just had a name.

The night in early spring was still quite cold, but after the night fell, Li Zhang climbed up to the city with the cold north wind, and then tried his best to look at the Dangxiang Camp in the distance. Dangxiang Camp was about five miles away from Tuoyuan Village. Originally, Li Deming was defeated last time, he retreated several miles at once, but now in order to restrain the Song army in the city, he moved back.

The distance between five miles is not far, nor is it close. It is difficult to see the situation on the Daying during the day, but now Li Zhang is standing on the city wall and facing away from the high place. In addition, Dangxiang Camp is also brightly lit at night, so Li Zhang can still see the firelight on the Daying.

Li Zhang stood at the top of the city with a fur in his arms, looking at the Dangxiang camp in the distance. In fact, he had a telescope in his arms. Unfortunately, this thing was useless at night. Even if there was a fire in the camp opposite, he still couldn't see clearly, and it was better to have a broader vision than the naked eye.

When it was almost 3rd, the fire in the Dangxiang Camp gradually dimmed, and only the lights could be seen at the camp gate and other locations. At the same time, the noise in the entire camp gradually became quiet, as if the entire camp was in a deep sleep.

Although Li Zhang's feet were numb at this time, his spirit was very excited, because according to Cao Wei's order, the attack on the camp was in the second half of the night. Now the third update has passed, and the Song army, who had sneaked out of the city, could launch a sneak attack at any time.

In this way, Li Zhang waited for nearly an hour, but just after the fourth day, he suddenly heard a shout of killing outside the Dangxiang Camp in the distance. Then the entire Dangxiang Camp seemed to be awakened suddenly. Starting from the position of the camp on the left, a long fire light appeared in the camp, like a fire snake winding forward. It was obvious that the cavalry led by Wang Fang rushed into the camp.

Immediately afterwards, the fire snake turned into a ball of gunpowder and began to set fires everywhere in the camp. Even though it was so far away, Li Zhang could feel the chaos in the Dangxiang camp. Then the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and more and more fires appeared around the camp. Obviously, other Song troops began to enter the camp, which intensified the chaos in the Dangxiang camp. Li Zhang could even imagine the scene of the Dangxiang people running around in the camp.

However, although Li Zhang was excited, no one shared his joy at this time, because Cao Wei also went out of the city to direct the sneak attack, Hu Yan Shouxin and Cao Ya were not there. As for outsiders like Kingsoft, they didn't know what to do tonight. After all, they had to keep it secret. There was only one wild dog around him, but the wild dog was obviously not interested in this kind of thing.
