Night Attack and Ambush
By the time Shen Feng's convoy arrived in Yangshuo, the sky had already darkened.
March and April were rainy seasons in Guangdong and Guangxi. The weather was not very good, and it was the rainy season.
The rainy season in western Guangxi usually lasted 20 days before and after Qingming Festival. The humidity in the south wind was relatively high, and there would be water droplets on the floor and walls. It was commonly known as returning to the south.
It was hot and humid at this time, and it was drizzling. It would often rain for a few days in a row, sometimes for ten days to half a month.
When they returned to the Southern Sky, it was wet everywhere. The muddy road was slippery, and it was even harder to walk.
Therefore, in March and April, most of Western Guangxi was cloudy. The sun could not penetrate through, so the stars could not be seen at night.
In addition, the soil was soft and the sound was not loud. This kind of weather was just right for a night attack.
There were twenty thousand men gathered at Guilin Prefecture, five thousand of which were cavalrymen. Their hooves were wrapped in black cloth to reduce the noise.
The rest of the infantrymen wore black night suits and masks to hide themselves as much as possible.
"Soldiers, because the enemy is stronger than us and their weapons are more advanced than ours, we can only attack at night and inflict heavy losses on them. We must win this battle!”Liang Zhangju was doing his final encouragement.
It was as if the night raid tonight did not succeed, Guilin City would be finished tomorrow.
The soldiers who had gone to the night raid were so touched that they were about to cry.
The last twenty thousand men left the city and followed the cavalry towards Yangshuo.
That's right, he ran!
Guilin did not have many carriages to transport soldiers, so they could only use the old method of running.
By the time they reached Yangshuo, they were already exhausted.
However, they were lucky that night. There was no moon or stars. It was so dark that they could not even see their fingers.
In addition, he had been careful along the way, thinking that he had hidden himself flawlessly.
After running for three hours, they finally arrived at Yangshuo. Everyone was exhausted and panting.
"Huff huff ~ These people really know how to set up camp. Yangshuo is so far away and they still have to cross the river.”
"I can't take it anymore. I need to rest for a while. I'll charge later.”
"I'm not even this tired during training. I don't want to run back anymore.”
One or two of them were so tired that they lay on the ground. Their bodies were almost poisoned by the longevity cream.
No one in this group discussed the situation of the enemy camp. They all said that they were weak and that their discipline was lax.
The army was not strictly governed during normal times, and it would be even worse in war.
Compared to Shen Feng's regular army, these people were like peasant uprising troops. They were not even worthy of carrying shoes.
The general leading the team tonight would let the team rest on the mountain ridge while he looked down at the military camp not far away with the help of the terrain.
The tents in this military camp stretched for several kilometers, and countless bonfires were lit up. Just the number of tents alone was terrifying.
Because they were too far away, they couldn't hear the voices of the people in the camp, but they could see soldiers in twos and threes talking and laughing around the fire.
There were also people training in the camp. It was confirmed that this was the camp of Shen Feng's army.
"Looking at the number of tents, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 people.”General Xu Guinan's face darkened.
He wasn't very old, almost forty years old. He was at the age of maturity.
In a dynasty full of old men, he was considered a particularly young man.
"General, the southwest wind is blowing tonight. Why don't we light a fire in the forest and burn them all to death?”A subordinate suggested.
As long as a forest fire was ignited in the southwest direction, with the help of the wind, at least half of Shen Feng's men would be burned to death.
However, Xu Guinan shook his head." It's not appropriate. The weather has been humid recently, and the humidity in the forest is heavy. The trees are not easy to ignite, so it's very difficult to start a forest fire.”
The rainy season was approaching, and the forest was wet everywhere. It was not easy to light a fire.
"There's no dam nearby. We can't drown them. We can only fight head-on!”Xu Guinan gritted his teeth and said to the people behind him,"Get ready. We'll start the attack in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
They had hidden themselves so well, and the weather was not good. They should not be discovered, right?
Xu Guinan muttered. After running sixty to seventy kilometers from Elephant Trunk Mountain to Yangshuo, even a horse would feel tired, let alone a person.
The soldiers rested on the spot and moved their sore hands and feet. From time to time, they would make a big noise, but Xu Guinan glared at them before they quieted down.
It was the time for a night raid. Were they trying to tell the enemy that they were here by making such a big commotion?
Xu Guinan shook his head. He was extremely disappointed with these soldiers.
The time for one incense stick to burn passed quickly. Xu Guinan reorganized his troops and solemnly drew his sword."Charge!"
20,000 masked men in black rushed down the mountain and charged towards Shen Feng's camp.
Along the way, he was valiant and spirited, waking up the white birds in the forest and flapping their wings.
A short distance of five to six kilometers was covered with a single Charge.
They had already seen the tank that had stopped firing, and the excitement in their eyes could not be concealed.
As long as they charged into the camp, victory would be theirs!
Xu Guinan's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity! So the Nanguang Army was just so-so!
They sped up and charged into the camp smoothly.
He used a knife to cut open the tent. There was only one "eggplant" shining inside, but he could not see anyone.
This was an empty camp!
"Not good, I've been tricked." Xu Guinan screamed, his face turning green…
