Chapter 433: Raid the camp
Chapter 433: Attack on the Camp
Xun Tianzhang’s son thought for a moment and added, “Besides, the Longmu River has reached its peak flooding season. If it rains for one more day, Longyang City will be flooded. We will definitely be able to destroy the Jin army as soon as possible.”
Xun Tianzhang coughed a few more times, covered his lips with a handkerchief, and immediately wiped the corners of his mouth to prevent his son from seeing the blood on the handkerchief. He forced himself to cheer up and said, “Let’s fight quickly and decisively! As long as we can take back Yushan Pass, I will die without regrets!”
Xun Tianzhang didn’t have much time left, so he couldn’t help feeling anxious.
“Yes!” Xun Tianzhang’s son gently stroked his father’s back and whispered, “Dad, take the medicine well. Under your leadership, our Daliang warriors will definitely be able to take back Yushan Pass!”
“Report…” The spy shouted, and rushed into the camp in the pouring rain on his horse. He jumped off his horse and knelt outside the general’s tent, saying, “Report to the commander-in-chief, the Princess of Jin and Fu Ruoxi are suspected of taking the main force out of the city!”
Hearing Bai Qingyan, Xun Tianzhang’s palms tightened and he tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand: “Go and check again to see if they are heading in the direction of Pingming Road!”
“yes!”
Soon the generals of the Liang army came hurriedly. Xun Tianzhang thought for a while and ordered his son to lead a large force to Pingming Road in person to ensure the safety of food and grass and to completely annihilate the Jin army.
The generals of the Liang army were ready to go, as if they had already secured victory, and they all wanted to be the first to rush into Longyang City to search for treasure.
When they came out of the main general’s tent, the Liang army generals were still discussing what rare treasures were hidden in the house of Xiao Rongyan, the richest businessman in the world.
Some people said that there was a golden eagle beast as tall as a person hidden in the Xiao Mansion. Its body was inlaid with gems, and any one of them would be priceless. However, it was too heavy and too conspicuous, so Xiao Rongyan did not dare to transport it away. He hid the golden eagle beast in a secret room, and it would probably take a long time to find it by then.

The rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the dark sky seemed like it was about to collapse.
Liu Hong stood on the city wall in the rain, watching Bai Qingyan and his group lead the main force away. He could not open his eyes due to the wind and rain, and kept wiping his face with his hands.
The rain today is really too heavy. I hope Bai Qingyan and General Fu can successfully go around to the left wing of Longmu River and avoid the Liang army. The victory or defeat of this battle depends on this…
Liu Hong stood on the city wall, gritting his teeth, waiting for the spies to report the movements of the Daliang military camp.
An hour later, the Liang army camp finally moved.
Liu Hong tightened his grip on the sword at his waist and turned his head to ask Lin Kangle, “Have County Master Gao Yi and the others left the city safely?”
Lin Kangle nodded: “They were all escorted out of the city by the Hundred Family Guards, and the female doctor was with them, so they will be fine, don’t worry, General Liu.”
Half an hour later, Liu Hong turned around and walked down the tower, shouting, “Wang Xiping! I order you to take 3,000 elite soldiers and head straight to Longmu River. Make sure to kill all the soldiers guarding Quliang!”
“I obey your orders!” Wang Xiping clasped his fists and accepted the order.
The soldiers of the Jin army had already been ready for battle in the city. They stood tall and straight in the rain. The generals rode their horses in front, waiting for the commander-in-chief’s order and rushed straight to the Jin army camp.
Several key generals knew that they needed to feign defeat and flee in this battle, with the main purpose of luring the Liang army into Longyang City.
Wait until the Liang army is flooded, and then kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor! Let those Liang people no longer have the courage to invade Jin.
“Soldiers of the Jin army!” Liu Hong drew his sword and shouted, but his voice, like a huge bell, was almost drowned out by the sound of the pouring rain.
“exist!”
The soldiers of the Jin army responded loudly, and their momentum… was so powerful that it shook the earth.
“Daliang sent troops to invade the border of our Jin State, seized our Jin State cities, and killed our Jin people! They massacred the two cities of Chunmu and Puwen! No chickens or dogs were left alive! Today is the day for the daring men of our Jin State to take revenge! Drive the Liang dogs out of our Jin State!” Liu Hong shouted until he was hoarse.
“kill!”
“kill!”
“kill!”
The morale of the Jin army was high and they shouted three times to kill the enemy.
Liu Hong jumped on his horse and shouted, “Open the city gate!”
Soon, the city gates were opened, and the Jin army commander Liu Hong took the lead and led his troops out of the city, heading towards Liangying in a mighty manner.
Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi led the main force of the Jin army to pretend to go to Pingming Road to ambush the Liang army’s food supplies, but when they were almost at Pingming Road, they took a shortcut and went around to the left wing of Longmu River.
The violent wind and rainstorm had a great impact on people’s vision. It was impossible to distinguish between humans and animals five meters away, and it was impossible to see anything ten meters away.
But for the Jin army that was sneaking around to attack the camp, this heavy rain was a great help.
Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi led their troops to a place less than two miles away from the Liang camp and divided them into two groups. One group led by Bai Qingyan supported from the right side of the Liang army camp, and the other group led by Fu Ruoxi supported from the left side of the Liang army camp.
The Jin soldiers knelt under the horses’ bellies on the steep slope in the rain, ready for battle, weapons in hand, with determined eyes, waiting for the general’s orders.
Although it was the end of June, such heavy rain continued to pour down on the armor. After a long time, it was so cold that people shivered, but the soldiers gritted their teeth and endured it.
Bai Qingyan, dressed in silver armor and holding a silver spear, stood beside his horse, looking in the direction of Liang Camp, waiting for the sound of the horn from Liang Camp.
The rain slid down her helmet, blocking her view like broken beads, but her straight back did not hunch because of the heavy rain, nor did she feel heavy all over because her clothes were soaked by the rain.
Normally, Bai Qingyan walked with iron sandbags wrapped around his body. Now that the iron sandbags were removed, Bai Qingyan felt as light as a swallow.
Before leaving, Bai Qingyan and Liu Hong had already discussed the matter. Liu Hong would set out half an hour after the Liang army set out and head straight for the Liang camp to attack it. Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi would quickly join the battle when Liu Hong started attacking the Liang camp, creating momentum and causing panic among the Liang army.
The sound of the rain was so heavy that one could not hear the sound of horses’ hooves. By the time the Liang army sentinels reacted, Liu Hong, Lin Kangle and the Jin army were less than a mile away.
A horn was immediately blown in Liang’s camp.
“The Jin army is attacking! The Jin army is attacking!”
“Go and report to the commander!”
“Archers! Quick!”
The Liang army was caught off guard and had never expected that the Jin army, whose main force was heading towards Pingming Road, would dare to attack the camp.
The continuous sound of Liang army horns came from afar. Bai Qingyan’s eyes darkened and he jumped on his horse: “Kill!”
The Jin army quickly mounted their horses and followed Bai Qingyan, who was leading the way, and rushed towards the Liang camp, shouting and killing.
Xun Tianzhang, who was sitting in the commander’s tent, stood up suddenly, but he almost fell down due to lack of strength. Fortunately, a Liang army soldier was quick to support Xun Tianzhang: “Commander-in-chief!”
Xun Tianzhang looked outside the general’s tent and saw the Liang army soldiers running towards the entrance of the barracks in the rain with bows and crossbows. He asked loudly, “How many Jin soldiers are here?!”
“It’s raining too hard, we can’t see clearly!” The soldiers kneeling outside the general’s tent shouted, “For the commander’s safety, please retreat first!”
Xun Tianzhang pursed his lips tightly, always feeling that he had overlooked something, as if the inspiration he had just thought of disappeared in an instant.
Before Xun Tianzhang could calm down and make a decision, he heard the Liang soldiers outside shouting: “Right! There are enemies on the right! Quick! Archers on the right!”
“Left! There are enemies on the left too! Help come!”
Liang’s camp was suddenly in chaos.
My child had a fever today and I didn’t have time to catch the bugs, so I just pasted it here and will catch the bugs tomorrow. Please forgive me, my little ancestors!
