Chapter 662 Strategic Retreat
The night is deep, the moon has disappeared into the clouds, and it is a good time to kill.
One by one, Huaixi's soldiers found out from various places in this unnamed small city, and then quietly moved towards the assembly point according to the plan.
"Remember, try not to make a sound if you can!"
"Yes!"
A group of men nodded and clenched the weapons in their hands.
After some investigation, they have found the enemy's camp. In fact, it is not easy to find the enemy's camp in such a small city.
But because the city is small and the enemy is too dense, their silent battle plan has also been wasted.
"Be careful……"
"Enemy attack!"
With a loud roar, the Huaixi soldiers knew that they had been exposed. At this moment, they no longer had any scruples, and with a loud roar, they rushed towards the enemy.
The purpose of silent fighting is to kill the enemy better, but this does not mean that the Huaixi disciples are afraid to charge head-on.
"kill!"
The battle broke out in the night. In this era of malnutrition per capita, there are very few people who can see at night, but as the fire burns, the entire small town is illuminated as if it were daytime.
"Get them out, get them out!"
Several lieutenants who took over Lan Yu's command shouted that they used the wooden boards in the city to make simple rush carts, or tied gunpowder to the carts, and pushed them straight into the enemy's crowd.
"Kill, brothers, work harder and kill them out!"
At dawn, the battle that lasted in the middle of the night was over. Huai Xierlang successfully killed the enemy through street fighting, but they were not optimistic. 5 people lost 2 people in seven days, and everyone left Hurt, now everyone is holding their breath.
"We won, we won!"
A group of people looked at the scene before them in disbelief, looking at the corpses on the ground, and the hurried retreating figures of the enemy, as if they had been in a lifetime.
If it weren't for the smell of blood and smoke that filled the city, I'm afraid they would hug each other and cry now, thinking about how much they could exchange for meritorious deeds when they went back, and what they would eat for the celebration banquet tonight.
But it's too early now.
The battle wasn't over, they just won in a skirmish.
"General, the enemy has retreated!"
"Shall we repair the city walls?"
"Need not!"
Sapphire gritted her teeth and said.
"It doesn't matter whether the city wall is repaired or not. Let's fight street battles with them, fight with them with bayonets, and make their bows and arrows and war tools useless."
"General, in this way, our soldiers are safe from danger..."
"I know that the enemy has no danger to defend."
"Remember, the tunnel entrance, if it is exposed, destroy it immediately, go! Let the soldiers rest in batches"
Sapphire said weakly, after winning this small-scale battle, he could finally rest for a while, his body was not strong enough for him to continue, and fell into a deep sleep, which lasted until night, when he woke up At that time, the entire tunnel became congested.
"What's going on, the enemy is back?"
"Return to the general, the enemy is attacking the city with trebuchets and bows and arrows, the last general decided to let the brothers retreat here."
"Well, let the brothers rest in the tunnel, we will not fight today, let me tell you when we will fight!"
After the person left, Lan Yu looked at the old man beside him, "Father, what day is it?"
"Today is the eighth day!"
The old man counted on his fingers.
"Eight days, at least seven more days, we... can we hold on?"
Sapphire's words revealed a trace of lack of self-confidence in himself. He didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful, and half of the time passed and his men were reduced by half.
"Lan Yu! You are the commander-in-chief of the army. You must have confidence. You have to believe in yourself. Think about your ambitions when you were in Huaixi."
The old man said earnestly.
This old man has raised Lan Yu, Xu Da and others since they were young, and he knows their tempers well, and he knows that Lan Yu is the craziest, so he came here with Lan Yu and acted as a veteran. In fact, he It was the last lock that held down Sapphire.
"That……"
Seeing the old man's firm gaze, Lan Yu seemed to have hope in her heart again, "Father, I have decided that we will stay in the tunnel for the next few days, and send some people out every night to assassinate and sabotage, harass The enemy, but the army is still in this tunnel, and on the other side, let someone contact Xu Da, and when the army is encircled, how about we come together inside and outside?"
"It's good if you have an idea, but how do we get out of the city now?"
the old man asked.
"I've thought about the way to get out of the city. I asked just now. The enemy will deal with the corpses in the city every day. When the time comes, let the soldiers pretend to be corpses. One of them will definitely get out. As for the letters, we are not afraid of exposure. Using the code words that Xu Da and I spoke when we were young, no one except us could understand."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
"kindness!"
Sapphire nodded.
Since this army occupied this small town, they haven't seen a single enemy. Except for some people harassing them every night, there is no enemy figure. This also makes the commander of this army sure that their enemies have retreated He ran away, and then he could make a plan to deal with Xu Da.
"Hmph, it's just an enemy vanguard that has dragged me here for so long. Fortunately, we have successfully captured this place, otherwise the overall plan of the army will be destroyed, and we will all die!"
The enemy commander gritted his teeth and cursed, he didn't expect Lan Yu to be so difficult to eat, there were only tens of thousands of people, and there were more than 20 people in front of him for eight days. Fortunately, Lan Yu was defeated now.
"General, what are we going to do next?"
"How to do it?"
"Hmph! Send people out to find out the movement of the enemy's army first, and then report it to the headquarters. We just need to stay here like a nail, and then cooperate with the army. After all, we are infantry, and we can't run without horses." quick!"
Obviously, the two groups were planning to use the same tactics, and they were both preparing to lure the enemy to go deep, but they never expected that the sapphire had already buried explosives under their feet, and the sapphire was also in their ground.
"Hurry up, Chang Yuchun, Sapphire's battle report!"
"Sapphire?"
Chang Yuchun hurried over, he was Lan Yu's brother-in-law, so he naturally cared deeply about Lan Yu. .
"This kid, is he crazy?"
"He's dancing on the tip of a knife, this..."
Chang Yuchun was already in a hurry and didn't know what to say, but Xu Da looked shocked. , "It's Lan Yu after all, I really can't think of anyone who is so bold!"
"Chang Yuchun, inform the army to speed up the march. I will complete the encirclement of the enemy within five days, no, within three days!"
"In addition, let the brother who came to deliver the letter work hard again, and bring my letter back to Sapphire!"
