A few days later, Yuan Jun turned a blind eye to the situation in the city and continued to dig and fill the canals.
Perhaps the Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall saw that the harassment was ineffective, so the time for beating the drums and turning off the lights gradually lengthened, becoming once every four hours.
Looking at the numb Yuan soldiers below the city, then looking at the gloomy sky and the military flag spreading in the west, Yu Jin was very satisfied.
"We can attack the camp tonight!"
" Didn't you say that you wouldn't attack the camp?" Xiahou Yuan asked in confusion.”
Yu Jin smiled." I said that we won't attack Cheng Pu's camp, not Zhang Xun's camp. Tonight, you will lead 2,000 men…"
Xiahou Yuan immediately interrupted Yu Jin when he heard that he was going to attack the camp himself." Wait, why am I going?”
Yu Jin said matter-of-factly," Do you want me to go? Have you ever seen a commander-in-chief personally attack a camp?”
Xiahou Yuan looked at Yu Jin with grief and indignation." I can finally understand the meaning of the song that my lord often sings!”
The song that the lord often sang? There seemed to be a lot." What song?”
Xiahou Yuan wailed at Yu Jin with a sad look and a voice like a duck's." You're so poisonous, poisonous, poisonous…"
Yu Jin retched.
I've lost to you! If you continue to sing, I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist jumping off the city gate tower even without Cheng Pu's help. I immediately assumed the posture of a commander and sternly ordered," Xiahou Yuan, listen up!”
You're awesome! Use military orders to pressure me! When we return to Xiangyang, we'll definitely go to the Cuihong Pavilion to eat until you're poor! However, since the military order had been given, Xiahou Yuan could only listen to it seriously." I'm here!”
"At night, you will lead 2,000 men and bring more fire. When the lights on the city gate are turned off, leave the city through the south gate that has not been set up with traps.”
Xiahou Yuan replied helplessly," I accept your orders."”
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan had accepted the order, Yu Jin nodded. I will lead my army out of the city from the south gate to receive you.”
Xiahou Yuan thought of Gan Ning and reminded him." Should we inform Brother Xing Ba?"”
Yu Jin gave him a look that said," You're too stupid."" Xing Ba is an old hand at taking advantage of a burning house. Do you think that Zhang Xun's camp will be indifferent if it's on fire?"”
Not bad! Gan Ning had come from a den of pirates and had taken advantage of the lord's situation several times. It would be a miracle if he didn't take advantage of the situation.
Xiahou Yuan immediately nodded in understanding. He looked at the sky in the west of the city sympathetically." Sigh, Zhangxun won't be able to sleep tonight."”
.....
It was midnight, and it was pitch black. The cries of insects and frogs could be heard endlessly.
Xiahou Yuan led 2,000 elites in black and sneaked out of the city…
Lying outside Zhang Xun's camp, he silently watched the camp in front of him. The patrolling soldiers had already passed by three teams, and he had already figured out the rhythm of the time interval.
However, the soldiers on guard were still chatting. Xiahou Yuan wanted to curse in his heart. Why weren't these bastards dozing off?
It seemed that Zhang Xun was quite strict with his army. It was almost midnight. If he waited any longer, it would be dawn. Seeing another patrol passing by, Xiahou Yuan did not want to wait any longer.
He picked up a hundred carefully selected sharpshooters and pressed them against the ground as they made their way towards the enemy's camp.
100 steps, 50 steps, 40 steps, 30 steps. This was all he could do. Any further and he would be within the range of the fire.
Xiahou Yuan took out the special crossbow on his back and gestured to the soldiers beside him. They each chose their own targets and formed groups of two or three to take care of one enemy.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Kill them!"
With a soft click, 101 black arrows flew straight towards their targets.
Amidst the dull sounds of sharp weapons piercing into flesh and bones, the heads of dozens of sentries at the gate were pierced by two or three arrows at the same time, and they fell to the ground without a sound.
Seeing that the sneak attack had succeeded, Xiahou Yuan immediately got up from the ground and waved his hand. He led the two thousand men behind him and rushed towards the camp in a quiet and orderly manner.
After opening the gate, he ordered the soldiers to take out their crossbows and charge into the camp. After running a few hundred steps, they bumped into the patrol team and shot an arrow at them.
Unfortunately, the soldier on patrol at the back was not hit. He screamed in horror," Enemy attack!”
Xiahou Yuan immediately drew his saber and rushed forward to kill the last patrol who had sounded the alarm.
Seeing that the patrol team in the camp had been alerted, he immediately issued an order." A hundred people in a team, spread out and set fire to the area. General Yu will bring the army here later. Brothers, you will be heroes when you return and will be heavily rewarded. Now is the time to reap the credit. Kill them!"”
As the night assault troops dispersed, the front camp was already on fire. The fire spread to the middle camp with the wind. There were soldiers running out of the burning tents with their arms bare, screaming in fear. The camp was in chaos...
"General! Get up quickly, the enemy is attacking the camp!"
Zhang Xun, who had been on tenterhooks at the top of the city wall for the past few days, woke up from his sleep. He replied habitually," Got it. Immediately mobilize the troops to support Cheng Demou."”
"No! The enemy ambushed us!"
