Chapter 9 Night attack!
The bright moon in the sky had long disappeared.
The night sky is deep, studded with stars, covering the entire area.
However, these starry sky cannot bring light to the earth, but instead make the earth seem even darker.
It was nearly four o'clock in the morning, the night was deep, and the surroundings were quiet.
It was a chilly spring day, without even the sound of an insect.
The weather was calm, without a breath of wind.
But even if there is no wind, walking outside the pass makes people feel cold all over.
Li Su led the horse, holding a corner of the armor of the guard in front of him , and walked forward with one step deep and one step shallow.
The horse's hooves were wrapped with cloth, and its mouth was controlled so that it could not make any sound.
Each soldier held a stone in his mouth, and the entire team moved forward in silence.
Li Su seemed somewhat uneasy.
However, this kind of uneasiness disappeared almost completely after he thought about the promotion and title.
Thinking back on this period of time, the Guandong coalition forces encountered Hua Xiong, suffered successive defeats, and were beaten so badly by Hua Xiong's troops that they could not even raise their heads. I felt uneasy and had nothing left.
When it comes to charging into battle, I am not as good as Hua Manzi, but I have been in battle for a long time and my skills are not bad.
Moreover, the two thousand troops he led were basically strong troops from Bingzhou, and were elite troops.
The Guandong coalition has already proved with its strength that these coalition forces are useless.
Hua Xiong could beat them so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads, and he could also beat them so hard that they collapsed!
When it comes to leading troops, this barbarian Hua Xiong is not as good as me.
Moreover, tonight, the barbarian Hua Xiong will follow and join him in the battle.
Hua Xiong is a barbarian with great courage and strength. Even if he has some physical discomfort, he can still protect himself if he really fights for his life.
Li Su had no doubt at all that Hua Manzi would help him plunder the enemy camp .
Hua Manzi is a rough warrior who uses his fists much faster than his brain.
Moreover, he trusted me very much and had no idea of my true feelings towards him, let alone that I had done something bad to him.
When it comes to playing tricks, he is much worse than me.
I played him to death and he didn't even know how he died. Instead, he was grateful to me until his death!
This kind of person is the easiest to deal with.
In this battle, if he is really in danger, he will definitely risk his life to save himself!
However, such things as getting into distress basically don't happen.
After today's discussion and analysis with Hua Manzi, we can judge that the troops from Guandong will basically not be prepared at this time.
Moreover, at this moment, he was still preparing to launch an attack on the Kanto coalition forces when daybreak was approaching.
Even if the Guandong coalition forces have a certain degree of defense, at that time, they will basically relax and definitely not want to attack our camp at this time.
When he thought about how Hua Xiong wanted to lead the troops to raid the camp himself, but because he had drugged him, he felt unwell and was unable to do it, and could only be depressed and give himself this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Li Su felt particularly happy and proud.
Very comfortable.
His target this time was the camp of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.
Yuan Shao’s camp was too large and strong. It was the place where the leader of the coalition forces was located, with many soldiers and generals.
He didn't dare touch it.
Sun Jian's troops are too far away from here, dozens of miles away.
Gongsun Zan led the Youzhou border army, and the White Horse Volunteers he led were also elite troops.
Moreover, Gongsun Zan himself was a famous figure in Liaoxi, so he did not dare to touch him either.
As for Kong Rong, Qiao Mao and others, their camps were too far back, so he didn't dare to go over there. He also felt that these people were too weak and there was no point in fighting them.
So after some selection, they chose the camp of Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.
Bao Xin had fought against the Yellow Turbans before and was a relatively famous military leader.
But he was defeated by Hua Xiong once. He was the type of person who had some strength, but was also a little weak.
If they were to attack the camp at this time, Bao Xin's troops, who had seen the might of the Xiliang soldiers, would surely be in panic.
The camp is also set up in the front, which is the most suitable place for fighting...
Thinking back on the various arrangements and choices he had made, Li Su couldn't help but straighten his chest.
I am full of anticipation for what will happen next.
Tonight will definitely be the moment for me to become famous all over the world!!
…
"After I leave, close the door tightly. No chance of error is allowed!"
Hua Xiong looked at Zhao Cen and gave instructions.
Zhao Cen hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that Li Su had already led his troops out of Sishui Pass, Hua Xiong also grasped his three-pointed, double-edged sword and led 1,500 Xiliang cavalrymen out of Sishui Pass under the cover of night.
Weighing the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, Hua Xiong felt somewhat dissatisfied with the weight of the sword, which was over thirty pounds.
In the past, I felt the weight was just right.
But when Hua Xiong held it in his hand, he felt it was light and weightless, like an embroidery needle.
When the matter is over, I will need to get a new weapon that suits me.
Melt Guan Yu's Qinglong sword, add a few dozen pounds of iron, and forge a new three-pointed, double-edged sword. Maybe it will be easy to use.
He thought so.
The night was cold and silent, and the soldiers advanced silently.
Hua Xiong led his troops but did not follow Li Su.
After walking forward for a while, he led his troops and went to the side.
Hua Xiong had led his troops outside Sishui Pass several times and was very familiar with the terrain outside...
…
After a journey, Li Su and his entourage arrived at the camp of Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei.
The time is about five more.
It is cold at this time, the days are short and the nights are long, the dawn comes late, and the fifth watch is a good time to go to bed.
Li Su looked at Bao Xin's camp. There were only three or two fires and the whole camp was silent.
I'm afraid the soldiers are all sleeping soundly at this time.
I never expected that I would come to raid the camp at this moment.
As agreed, the cavalry began to mount their horses.
Li Su and his general Li Wen each led a thousand men and acted separately, attacking Bao Xin's camp from the left and right.
"clank!"
The sound of bows and arrows rang out.
On Li Su's side, soldiers shot arrows and killed the sentries, then quickly opened the camp gate and rushed in.
Li Su also rode his horse and brandished his sword to charge in.
The moment I stepped into Bao Xin’s camp, I felt my blood boiling!
But the next moment, his blood, which had just been boiling, suddenly cooled down!
Because, there was no one in Bao Xin’s camp, it was an empty camp! !
