Chapter 1589: All is fair in war
When Yamashita Hu received Yun Zheng's reply, he immediately went to see Yuan Changzheng.
"Great!"
Minamoto Nagamasa shouted excitedly.
As long as Yun Zheng agrees to this, it will be fine.
If Yun Zheng agreed, he would place more hope on Shanxiahu.
In this way, the defense of Yun Zheng and his camp will inevitably be relaxed.
opportunity!
This is their chance!
"However, Yun Zheng has detained one person, and he is obviously on guard against us!"
Uesugi Yu said with some concern.
"Correct!"
Yamashita Tiger also nodded.
Anyone who dares to lead an expedition to the Kingdom of Yu must be no ordinary person.
Yun Zheng has to be wary of them, and they also have to be wary of Yun Zheng.
"It does not matter."
Minamoto Nagamasa smiled confidently: "He is wary of us, just to prevent us from cheating in this matter and delaying time with him! But we want to take advantage of their lax defense and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
He didn't know where this Yun Zheng came from.
We can only judge that Yun Zheng is a member of the Daqian royal family based on his surname and his official position as regent.
In his opinion, all the members of the Daqian royal family are good-for-nothings.
Just like the royal family of Yu Kingdom!
Among the royal family members, few are capable of leading an army into battle.
But he has been fighting for decades!
Perhaps, their weapons are not as sophisticated as Daqian's.
However, his strategy and wisdom must be far superior to Yun Zheng!
The two thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
"By the way, are you sure those two people don't know about our plan?"
At this time, Uesugi Yu asked Yamashita Tora again.
"They both know nothing. They must think I'm really going to rebel!"
Yamashita Tiger replied: "Don't worry, even if the enemy tortures the detained people, they won't be able to get anything out of them."
He knew what Uesugi Yu was worried about.
They had already prepared for this.
In order to deceive Yun Zheng, he actually got whipped a few times!
If Yun Zheng really wanted to interrogate the detained person, he could only find out that he was indeed whipped.
This way, Yun Zheng's doubts can be dispelled.
"So when do we launch the night raid?"
Uesugi Yu asked Minamoto Nagamasa again.
"tonight!"
Minamoto Nagamasa said without hesitation: "Their defense must be lax tonight. This is our best chance!"
Tonight?
The two frowned slightly.
"My Lord, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Yamashita Tiger asked with some concern.
In his opinion, tomorrow night is the best opportunity.
They could have used the time to prepare their troops and be better prepared before launching a night attack on the enemy camp.
"It's a bit urgent indeed!"
Yuan Changzheng showed a fox-like smile on his face, "Even you think it's too hasty, do you think Yun Zheng would have thought that we would launch a night attack tonight?"
urgent!
Just be quick!
He just wanted to kill Yun Zheng by surprise.
If Yun Zheng was prepared, they would most likely fail if they attacked at night.
Hearing what Minamoto Nagamasa said, Yamashita Tiger couldn't help but admire him: "Your Excellency is wise and powerful!"
"Okay, let's get ready!"
Minamoto Nagamasa stood up and said, "Pass the order down. Leave 2,000 men to defend the city, and let the rest leave the city at night! At dawn, launch a full-scale attack on the enemy..."
Minamoto Nagamasa quickly issued orders.
Tonight, he will lead the army into battle personally!
What a shitty regent!
He must chop off Yun Zheng's head with his own hands!
He wants Yun Zheng to pay the price for his stupid behavior!
……
As night fell, the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom in Beixiang City began to prepare.
In the second half of the night, the soldiers in the city began to gather outside the city.
Under the moonlight, teams of soldiers quietly left the city.
All the soldiers had a wooden stick in their mouths.
Before the general attack is launched, whoever drops the wooden stick will be beheaded!
Once you reach the designated assembly location, everyone must lie down.
As time passed, more and more people gathered outside the city.
Only after the rest of the troops had assembled did Minamoto no Nagamasa lead his cavalry out of the city.
The legs of their war horses were wrapped with cloth, and even their mouths were covered with small bamboo cages to prevent them from neighing.
Minamoto Nagamasa became furious.
This battle must teach the enemy a painful lesson.
The worst goal is to burn the enemy's weapons and food.
As long as the enemy loses those terrible weapons and food supplies, it will be defeated.
At that time, they will slowly erode the enemy's strength.
With this thought in mind, Minamoto Nagamasa couldn't help but stroke the sword in his hand.
When a hint of dawn appeared in the sky, Minamoto no Nagamasa immediately ordered the army to advance.
However, now is not the time to charge.
They had to advance to within three miles of the enemy camp before launching an attack.
His youngest son, Genjiro, will lead his most elite cavalry unit to launch the first attack, throwing the enemy camp into chaos, and wait for the infantry behind to catch up, and then strangle the enemy together!
When the sky started to brighten, they also entered the designated attack position.
At this time, the spies sent out also brought back news: "The enemy's defenses are lax, and most of the soldiers guarding the camp are sleeping together..."
Minamoto no Nagamasa was overjoyed when he received the news brought back by the spy.
As expected, the enemy's defenses were lax!
"Jiro!"
Minamoto Nagamasa called his youngest son and said, "Lead your troops to attack the enemy camp immediately!"
"Yes!"
Genjiro took the order and immediately turned over, mounted his warhorse, and untied the bamboo cage from the horse's mouth.
"law……"
As the bamboo cage was opened, Sengenjiro's horse suddenly let out a long-suppressed neigh.
The neighing of the warhorse seemed to be the signal to attack.
"kill!"
Genjiro roared, urged his horses, and led three thousand cavalrymen to charge out with murderous intent.
The distance of three miles is very close.
Soon, Genjiro saw the vague outline of the enemy camp.
There were piles of bonfires burning in the camp, as if to point out the direction of their attack.
"Kill! Kill..."
Genjiro yelled excitedly.
The cavalrymen behind him also began to roar.
It seems that he wanted to scare the Daqian soldiers in this way.
As they expected, upon hearing their roars, Daqian's soldiers were awakened from their sleep and fled in all directions.
"Run!"
"Run away!"
"quick……"
Vaguely, Genjiro seemed to hear the terrified cries of the Daqian soldiers.
Logically, these sounds should be covered up by the sound of galloping war horses.
But he heard it.
He didn't know whether this was his hallucination.
But that doesn't matter anymore!
This is their chance to defeat the enemy!
"Rush! Charge!"
Genjiro swung the long sword in his hand and roared loudly.
Soon, they rushed into Daqian's camp effortlessly.
The soldiers guarding the camp had already fled.
However, the entire camp was empty.
There was no one in sight, only some tents.
Something is wrong!
Genjiro quickly calmed down from his excitement.
They have all rushed in, how could there be no one left in the enemy camp?
"boom!"
Just when Genjiro realized that he had fallen into a trap, the nightmare-like voice suddenly sounded...
