Chapter 30: The Wind and the Firefly Light the Night White

On a stormy night, the ground was frozen and the weather was cold. Under the thatched hut behind the camp, soldiers who were wearing armor and sleeping in bed were tossing and turning, and they were unable to fall asleep due to the snoring one after another.

There are bows and arrows, swords and cards around you, and a spear in your arms. There is a saying, called "The Pillow and the Beat".

They are not waiting for dawn to attack, but they can end the night until dawn and can go back to the camp to rest. At night, the enemy may come to sneak attacks, so someone must be prepared at any time and react immediately when there is any movement.

There is no way to prepare like this. The generals said that the reinforcements of the traitors suddenly ran away after approaching Xuanhu about thirty miles away. This was too strange. It might be because they wanted to let the official army relax their vigilance. Therefore, everyone had to take turns to stay at night these nights just in case.

The generals said this and arranged it so, and then they rested in the warm tent. Only the unlucky soldiers were arranged to stay behind the camp for the night, wearing iron armor, which was extremely cold, and even if they were wrapped in bedding, they could not warm up.

Everyone slept with Jia, where did they sleep well? In addition, some people snore and snore sounded like thunder. Many people tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so they could only cover their ears and close their eyes to rest.

In order to protect against the wind and snow, they slept under the thatched hut. Even if the weather is cold, they cannot make a fire to keep warm, so as not to ignite the thatch and cause fire. Many people are thirsty and want to drink water but cannot drink it because the water in the water tank is too cold, and it is easy to cause diarrhea after drinking it.

This is how it is to fight. If you sleep in the wind and eat in the open, you will get used to it. You can’t make a fire and warm water in the middle of the night. If you are thirsty, you can only endure it until dawn. But if you are anxious, you can’t bear it and you have to go to the pit.

At night, the military camp is not allowed to light the lights or make fires. This is especially true at the camp gate, so as not to illuminate one's own people and make it easier for the enemy to attack to shoot cold arrows. Therefore, if you want to go to the pit, it is best to travel with more than two people.

One more person, one more person will take care of it, so as not to fall into the pit and drown, and have to bother your fellow comrades to come and catch it.

Amid the snoring, several black shadows gathered together and walked towards the pit in the distance. They were soldiers going to the toilet together. Although it was dark, there was white snow on the ground. At least they could see the road and walked slowly forward together.

Passing through an arrow tower, the restless sentry on the roof seemed to have seen a savior, and lowered his voice and shouted to them: "I'll tell me, who will take the post? I'll go to the toilet."

"Pretty, just pee out on it? Why do you still do it?"

"I want to shit!"

"Bastard, you have eaten so much for dinner! You're so lazy! You're so tired and urinating!"

"Hurry up! I can't hold it in anymore!"

The sentry clamped his legs and raised his buttocks, and said in a crying voice. Somehow, he had a stomachache tonight, but he did not dare to leave his post without permission, for fear that he would be caught by the supervisor who was patrolling the post, so he hung up in public and whipped it with a whip.

It is not easy to become a soldier these days. Many people don’t have many items of change of clothes, but they don’t have to change them if they are pulled into their crotch and wash them. The most terrible thing is that they will be ridiculed by their fellow comrades and be embarrassed to be home.

So the sentry could only endure the cold arrow tower, looking downstairs to see if anyone got up at night to go to the toilet and asked the other party to take a while for him. As a result, when he could hardly hold it in, he finally hoped for the savior.

A soldier cursed and climbed up the ladder. There were three urgent things for people. If you have any difficulties, you can help. Maybe it was his turn to be in a hurry when he was at night in the Arrow Tower, and he would definitely look forward to someone coming to take over the job.

Halfway through the climb, I saw the sentry down the ladder. The ladder was very narrow. Someone asked the two of them to get up and down. Seeing this, the soldier said, "What are you doing so urgently? If you fall down accidentally, you will lose your life!"

"I can't help it anymore, I'll work hard, I'll work hard..."

After a "puff" sound above his head, the soldier felt a foul smell coming from above. When he looked up, his face was covered by a soaked poop that fell from his head. At that moment, he felt his stomach churning and screamed in anger:

"A bastard, how dare you shit in me..."

Before he finished speaking, his chest hurt, and the sentry above fell. When he looked down, he saw an arrow inserted in his chest. He was wearing a crotch armor and could be shot through by the arrow, which means that the archer was very close to him.

Looking outside the camp, he saw many figures in gray cloth approaching this side in the snow, and his strength disappeared out of thin air. He relaxed his hand and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The shouting sounded, which was the sentry from the arrow towers elsewhere shouting, and then the trumpet was blowing. At this moment, a violent explosion sounded, which was the Anzhou army attacking at night, throwing thunder into the camp.

Thunder sounds one after another, shattering the quiet night sky. The soldiers who were waiting to be on the back of the camp fence woke up from their sleep. Then they picked up their weapons and rushed to the camp fence's female wall. In just a moment, they gathered together and bent their bows and arrows to attack the invading enemy head-on.

However, they were first hit by the other party.

Many copper basins with inner walls that were polished as smooth as mirrors were brushed in unison toward the camp. There were paper tubes filled with gunpowder in front of the copper basin. The paper tubes were as thick as arms, and dazzling flames bloomed on the top.

The flame was reflected by the inner wall of the copper basin, and the light shone on the camp gate, making the eyes of the soldiers behind the female wall on the camp gate blur.

The copycat version of the local searchlight has limited brightness, but it forms a strong contrast between light and darkness, allowing the soldiers on the camp to see the people outside the camp, while the people outside the camp can clear the movements on the camp.

After several rounds of arrows from Anzhou archers attacked by Xuan Hu, they suppressed the enemy soldiers on the camp. The sound of horse hooves sounded behind them. The war horses nailed with spikes galloped in the field of mud, snow, ice and water, dragging a special trench bridge to approach the enemy camp.

The enemy dug trenches and surrounded Xuanhu for a long time, thinking that this would prevent the cavalry from attacking in Xuanhu City. The specially made trenches could make these obstacles ineffective. There were sleds at the bottom of the trenches, with as many as twenty, and they were dragged by horses in the mud and wilderness.

Afterwards, there were a large number of cavalrymen.

The specially made trench bridge and specially made tactics, the Anzhou army trapped in Xuanhu tried their best to launch a raid tonight. Not only were there cavalry, but also infantry. The target of the attack was the enemy's Beidaying, and they were not the only ones who attacked tonight.

On the east side of Beidaying, there was a continuous explosion. The Hulin Army, which had been arduously trekking, attacking the enemy camp from an incredible direction.

The Hulin Army, which had the ability to march at night and fight, set off from a camp thirty miles south of Xuanhu City under the order of the King of Xiyang, and entered Hongcang Pond on the east side at night. After spending several days marching hard in the bone-cold wind, cold river water and muddy ponds, successfully detouring to the northeastern suburbs of Xuanhu.

Before the agreed time came, he lurked in the eastern suburbs of the enemy camp, and waited for the south to launch an attack and immediately started a battle.

In the wind and snow, King Yuwen of Xiyang was riding his horse to Beidaying. He led his troops from Xuanhu and headed north against the wind, so he wore goggles like the soldiers. At this moment, looking at the enemy camp barracks illuminated by the copycat searchlights, he couldn't help but hold the whip tightly.

The special trench bridge was quickly built. It crossed the wide trench and the long-circuit earth slope, and leaned directly outside the camp bar at the top of the long-circuit. Many blasters carrying sky-burning thunder stepped on the trench bridge under the cover of the knife player to approach the camp bar.

The sound of horse hooves sounded like a tide. It was Anzhou cavalry approaching the enemy camp. Yuwen Wen took a deep breath, pulled the goggles that were reflected in the mist by sweat and hung them between his neck, and looked at the enemy camp again.

Beidaying is the central army of Yuchi Dun's army, and the place where Princess Yuwen Wen and the prince are located.

He set out in advance to touch the archers outside the enemy camp. At this time, he tried his best to shoot the rocket. The rocket flew towards the huge enemy camp in the north wind, like fireflies flying all over the sky, and the lights were trapped by the cold wind, as if they were stranded in the air, illuminating the camp under the night sky.

Another round of explosion sounded, and the camp fence collapsed in the flames. Yuwen Wen, whose cheeks were red-faced by the flames, pulled out his sword and pointed at the enemy camp. The messenger ordered the soldiers to blow the horn, and then the sound of horns also sounded from the moving cavalry group.

That was the horn of the charge.

The so-called powerful miracle was made. Yuwen Wen decided that since he wanted to play, he would play a big game, concentrate his troops to attack inside and outside, and a battle would determine the world.

Save your wife and children!
