Outside Wanling City.

In the 25 10,000-person camp of Wu's army, soldiers ran around the camp with buckets, watering and extinguishing the fire, and shouting loudly to put out the fire.

The soldiers of Wanling City stood at the top of the city and watched the fire, cheering and boiling.

The fire was much more violent than yesterday, which means that their reinforcements are strengthening their offensive.

At dawn.

The fire that burned over twenty large camps was finally put out by the soldiers of the Wu army.

King Xiang Bi of Wu and the prince Xiang Xian of the prince, and the father and son, stood outside the main camp, with black fireworks all over their faces and mud on their boots.

The fire last night burned the main account and burned the main account. The father and son led the generals to fight to put out the fire and rescue various books and documents.

Looking at the camp, it was a mess.

Both father and son were in tears.

This damn enemy army was elusive. After firing gunpowder arrows at the Wu army camp, they fled, without even seeing a shadow.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Wu army were nervous all night and were busy putting out fires and rescuing supplies. By dawn, they were exhausted and unable to fight.

During the whole day, there was no battle.

A few hours later.

The generals came to the main tent and reported the losses of the various camps of 10,000 people to the King of Wu.

Without the tent, they could only stand in the mud and report to the King of Wu.

The baggage battalion lost more than 500,000 kilograms of food and grass, and the Wu army's food and grass were burned for several days.

Most of the other battalions were burned down, and nearly a thousand soldiers were burned to death. The number of casualties was not too large, but the blow to the morale of the Wu army was extremely heavy. The entire Wu army's hundreds of thousands of troops could not raise morale.

"Father!"

Xiang Xian knelt on the muddy ground with a thud and thumped the ground angrily, "Father, our army's tent was burned several thousand of them overnight, almost all of them were burned.

I'm afraid the army can only sleep in the open air. In this wilderness, there is dew at night, which is too cold, and it may be very unfavorable to the soldiers. If you can't sleep well at night, how can you have the energy to attack the city during the day?

They will continue to attack at night. If this continues, within five days, our army will be in a state of decline and will not have the power to fight during the day.

It's so vicious! No one except Xiao Hunhou, can come up with such a fierce fighting style! Father, let me lead my troops to attack Danyang County again!"

"Xian'er, don't be impulsive!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu was so angry that his veins burst out. He suppressed his anger and asked the ministers and generals: "What do you think of the ministers? Can you defeat this enemy army that was attacked at night?"

"King, Xiao Hunhou has been harassing outside for two consecutive days, but he did not force himself to attack our camp. It must be because the number of people is too small, and it is estimated that there are only one or two thousand cavalrymen. I dare not fight against our 10,000 camps! I can only use such despicable night attack methods to sneak attack our army.

Our army only needs a soldier who can fight at night to ambush outside the camp to severely hurt him."

The Prime Minister bowed and said.

"Does anyone dare to lead the troops and ambush Xiaohunhou?"

The King of Wu asked in a deep voice.

The generals looked at each other.

They led their troops to fight for many years and never fought night battles. They had never heard of the world that there were troops who were good at night battles.

The soldiers under their command came out of the camp at night and were blind men. How could they ambush them?

"The king, Xiao Hunhou's night attack camp is extraordinary. They have fireworks as signals and gunpowder arrows with extremely long ranges, which are definitely not comparable to ordinary troops.

Our army is not good at night fighting and fighting with the enemy at night, so we may hit stones with eggs.

Xiaohunhou’s nest is in Danyang County, and the night attack camp must have taken this as the foundation. It is better to send troops to attack Danyang County directly! Defeating Danyang City means breaking Xiaohunhou’s night attack camp!"

The general said.

The generals nodded one after another.

Although the night attack camp was elusive, its destination was in Danyang County, a hundred miles away.

Killing Danyang County is the best way to break the night attack camp.

"Who wants to lead the troops to attack Danyang City?"

King Xiang Bi of Wu asked.

"Well..."

“…”

The generals fell into silence again.

Although Danyang is a small county town, it is much lower than Wanling County town.

However, there were 50,000 elite imperial soldiers transferred from Jinling City.

In addition, there are 6,000 Danyang Gunpowder Gun elite soldiers, all equipped with the most advanced gunpowder guns and small steel cannons.

Plus this mysterious night attack camp.

The difficulty of attacking Danyang County is probably even more difficult than attacking Wanling City.

Wanling City has only 10,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and the total strength is only 30,000.

It’s better to attack Wanling City first.

With this base, we will attack Danyang County, a hundred miles away, and there will be a safe city for storing food and grass.

Now the problem is back.

Xiaohunhou's night attack camp harassed the Wu army so violently, and the Wu army could not sleep all night. When it was sunk during the day, it was difficult for them to attack Wanling City with all their strength.

The Wu army's 250,000 troops attacked Wanling City in turn for six or seven days, and it has not been able to attack it yet.

This has become an unsolvable problem.

"Father, my son will bring a hundred thousand troops to Danyang City! In this way, Xiaohunhou can only save himself and will definitely not care about Wanling City."

Xiang Xiandao.

"No... If you bring a hundred thousand troops alone, you will probably repeat the mistakes of the King of Chu. The King of Chu has suffered a great loss. Your experience is far from that of the King of Chu, so how can your father rest assured?"

Xiang Bi shook his head.

Seeing that the veterans were unwilling to lead troops to attack Danyang County, he also knew the difficulty.

"I really can't help, there's only one stupid way!

The gunpowder arrows in the night attack camp had a range of 300 steps, nearly half a mile away.

Our army camp was half a mile away and dug out a long gully, adding horse-resistance and bonfires. Each camp of 10,000 people drew 2,000 troops to be responsible for the vigil of the camp in the ditches.

This makes the night attack camp unable to get within half a mile of the main camp! Of course, their night attacks with gunpowder arrows cannot burn our army camp."

Xiang Bi said in a deep voice.

The generals looked at each other and were a little worried.

In this way, every camp of 10,000 people is safe and you can finally have a good rest at night.

However, these two thousand soldiers, half a mile away from the main business alone, would be in danger and would be easily attacked.

However, this is the best solution.

"Since the generals have no objection, let's act according to this."

"I will obey the order!"

The generals of the twenty-five 10,000 camp immediately returned to the camp and began to dig ditches half a mile away outside the camp.

And log wood, build simple horse-resisting, place it on the inside of the ditches to resist light cavalry.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers dug the ground at the same time, a ditch that is half a meter deep and one meter wide. This width can be crossed by horses.

Therefore, there is also an obstacle on the inside to resist horses and circle the Wu army camp. In this way, the light cavalry will not be able to rush in. If you forcefully attack, you will definitely hit your head and run out of blood.

Be careful to defend yourself to prevent Xiao Hunhou's night attack camp from sneak attacking.
