- Chapter 287: Burning Food
The night is deep and the stars and moon are in the sky.
That group of cavalry, like ghosts, hurried forward in the darkness.
Gan Ning looked back to the east and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of Ye Wang, shining like daylight.
The sound of horse hooves could not cover up the faint cry of killing that penetrated his eardrums. Gan Ning knew that a fierce and bloody battle was going on on the Yewang front line that stretched for more than ten miles.
More than two hours ago, Liu Bei's army, who pretended to withdraw his troops and return west, suddenly launched a surprise attack on Yewang's own army from three directions: north, south, and center. Among them, the number of enemy troops directly attacking the Chinese army camp where General Liu Feng was located reached 30,000.
Gan Ning, who was on Yewang City, clearly witnessed the fierce battle.
Immediately, he and his four thousand cavalry received a secret order from Liu Feng, ordering him to act according to the plan.
Gan Ning did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led four thousand cavalry out of the city, traveling lightly, bypassing the front battlefield of the two fighting parties from the north, and using the cover of night, went straight to the rear of Liu Bei's army's defense line.
More than two hours have passed, and now we are no more than twenty miles away from the enemy's Shimenliang Camp.
If it were normal times, Gan Ning's light cavalry would never be able to bypass Liu Bei's army's eyes and ears so easily and penetrate behind the enemy's rear.
It was precisely today that Liu Bei devoted all his energy and troops to this night's night attack. In his opinion, this was an attack that left Liu Feng completely unprepared.
It was Liu Bei's determination to win that created a loophole for Gan Ning to exploit.
Horse hooves galloped, but along the way Liu Bei's army was interrogated by his cavalry. Gan Ning either lied about his army's identity and deceived him, or directly surrounded and killed the interrogated enemy.
When daybreak came, the four thousand cavalrymen finally saw the shadow of the grain camp.
On the bank of Qinshui River, several miles of fortresses can be vaguely seen, with granaries like mountains standing abruptly among the camps.
As expected, the enemy troops guarding the camp were not prepared.
The village gate is not closed, and the antlers around the camp are not densely packed. Looking from a distance, except for sporadic patrols wandering around the camp, there is no sign of a formidable enemy.
Gan Ning's eyes were flashing with ferocious murderous intent. He didn't hesitate for a moment, shouted loudly, slapped his horse and charged towards the enemy camp.
Four thousand Qingqi poured out like turbid black water.
The four hooves of the war horse have been wrapped in cloth. Although the four hoofs are galloping, the vibrations caused are far less loud than usual.
It wasn¡¯t until the four thousand cavalry had reached the camp more than a hundred steps away that the enemy soldiers on duty and on patrol noticed something strange from the tremors under their feet.
Suddenly awakened, when he glanced around in search of the sound, countless murderous ghosts had already rushed out of the darkness.
The sound of the golden drum rang out, and the sleeping soldiers were startled. Before they had time to put on their armor, they were scolded and driven out of the camp by the officers.
Thousands of enemy soldiers rushed straight to the edge of the camp. The scene was extremely hasty. Before they could form a defensive formation, hundreds of leading enemy cavalry had already broken through the camp and entered.
Gan Ning took the lead, passing through with his sword, mercilessly knocking down the enemy soldiers who were out of formation. The large number of cavalry behind him broke through the antlers, either holding torches high or waving weapons, roaring into the Shimen Grain Camp.
Four thousand light cavalry were divided into three lines and attacked the enemy camp simultaneously from the northeast and south. With the help of the speed of the cavalry and the cover of night, they successfully caught the enemy by surprise.
Thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers were either killed or scattered in confusion. Gan Ning, who succeeded in the surprise attack, ordered his soldiers to set fire to all the granaries. Mountains of grain and grass in the granaries were burned to the ground.
When the sky was bright, the entire Shimenliang camp had turned into a sea of ??fire.

On the Ye Wang front line, Liu Bei is commanding his army and launching a fierce attack on the Southern Army camp.
What he was facing was Liu Feng's Chinese army camp. There was a trench about ten feet deep dug outside the camp, and four layers of antlers were set up. It was the strongest fortress among all the enemy camps.
Liu Bei launched a strong attack on this strong fortress from the front with 30,000 elite troops. Among these 30,000 troops, there were also 10,000 fresh troops newly transferred from Guanzhong to the front line.
These 10,000 soldiers and horses are all warriors recently recruited from Xiliang. After nearly a year of training by Kong Ming, their combat effectiveness is no less than that of Liu Bei's elite soldiers.
"Moreover, the original armies of both sides have been in a stalemate on the Wild King line for a long time, and the soldiers are already tired. The 10,000 soldiers and horses who have just joined are enough to be regarded as the most powerful force on the entire battlefield.
However, what made Liu Bei anxious was that even thoughHis high-spirited soldiers launched the most violent attack on the enemy camp, but the effect was unsatisfactory.
The attack lasted for half the night, and only two of the four layers of antlers outside the enemy camp were breached. His soldiers were still braving the rain of arrows, struggling to chop off the remaining two layers of antlers, while the arrows in the enemy camp The strength of Ya's counterattack seems to show no sign of weakening at all.
Not only the middle road, but according to the battle reports that came back one after another, the other raiding forces also encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy at the first time, and none of them could achieve the effect of a successful raid.
It seems that the enemy has already been prepared for his night attack plan.
The sky is gradually getting brighter. Once the sky is bright and the field of vision is opened, the lethality of the enemy's crossbows will be greatly improved. At that time, it will also mean that this all-out night attack has failed.
At this time, a horse came galloping towards him, it was his third brother Zhang Fei.
"The whole army is in your hands, why can't we break the camp now?" Liu Bei got angry and shouted to Zhang Fei in a scolding tone.
Zhang Fei rushed over at this time. He originally planned to complain to Liu Bei about the enemy's tenacity and wanted to ask for more troops, but when Liu Bei scolded him like this, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Feeling ashamed, anger suddenly arose in his heart, so he raised his spear and shouted: "Don't worry, brother, if I don't break through the enemy camp within an hour, my name, Zhang Fei, will be written backwards."
After saying that, he just cupped his hands, turned his horse and galloped away.
Returning to the main formation, Zhang Fei led an elite force of 3,000 Chinese troops to join the attack group in person.
The handsome flag with the word "Zhang" on that side, like the wind, rushes from the rear to the front line, and the military flag can be seen for miles around.
The handsome flag represents the location of the general. As soon as the soldiers saw the flag, they realized that General Zhang Fei had arrived at the front line.
As a result, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly encouraged, and with their fighting spirit inspired, the offensive became more fierce.
At this time, in the Confederate camp, Liu Feng was standing on his horse, quietly watching the confrontation between the two armies at the camp gate.
The magnitude of Liu Bei's army's offensive was indeed beyond his imagination.
Since the battle at Yizhou, Liu Feng has not had a direct confrontation with Liu Bei for many years. Before he marched into Hanoi, his impression of Liu Bei's army was still in the battle for Shuzhong.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Bei captured Yongliang, his army not only expanded greatly in a short period of time, but its combat effectiveness also reached a higher level than before.
Zhuge Liang's method of training soldiers is indeed unique.
Now, the third layer of antlers has been broken, and it is only a matter of seconds for the enemy to break into the camp. It seems that a life-and-death battle that is related to success or failure is no longer inevitable.
"Bring me my gun."
Liu Feng stretched out his hand, and the soldiers on the left and right presented his heavy spear. He held the heavy silver spear tightly, tightened his armor, and was ready for a bloody battle.
The sky is getting brighter, the fourth layer of antlers has been broken, and the enemy soldiers, who are becoming more and more brave as they fight, are following the banner with the word "Zhang" forward.
At this moment, a strange sneer appeared on Liu Feng's face.
There was a faint flicker of fire in his eyes as bright as stars.
To the west of this battlefield, at the end of the sky, wolf smoke and light of fire are rising into the sky.
Liu Feng knew that Gan Ning's surprise attack had succeeded by burning food.
Seeing this signal, Liu Feng raised his silver gun high and shouted: "All troops, attack"
The drumbeat of the attack rumbled, and the Chinese army's flag pointed directly at the enemy outside the camp.
The Confederate Army, which was originally on the defensive side, saw the signal to attack. The blood of more than 20,000 soldiers suddenly boiled. They all rushed to break out of the camp without waiting for the enemy to attack.
At this time, the enemies outside the camp were attacking furiously, but unexpectedly, the enemies who had been defending so hard suddenly left the camp and launched a counterattack.
Although Zhang Fei was surprised, the enemy's counterattack seemed to him to be nothing more than a desperate struggle, which was exactly what he wanted, so he sent out his army to cover up the attack. More than 30,000 elite soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
More than 50,000 soldiers from both sides were fighting together on the front line of the Chinese army camp. At this time, Liu Feng had an idea and ordered hundreds of soldiers to shout loudly in unison: "The enemy's food has been burned out, and Liu Bei has been defeated and fled."
Although the number of these hundreds of people was small, they all sounded out in unison at the same time and at the same time, holding their voices. It was like thunder, and it immediately overshadowed the noise of the entire battlefield. No matter whether the enemy or our soldiers were using methods, everyone could hear them.
On the battlefield, the method of disrupting the enemy's morale in this way is not new, and Liu Bei's subordinates are not idiots, so naturally they will not be fooled so easily.
However, when they heard the enemy shouting like this, they instinctively couldn't help but look in the direction of the food camp.
It didn¡¯t matter what they saw, what they saw were fireworks rising into the sky from the northwest.
Although they could not see clearly where the fire occurred in the rear, it was not important. What was important was that they all knew that the direction of the grain camp was to the northwest.
The morale of the military was instantly boosted.
The panic spread rapidly throughout the army like a plague.
Soon, not only the center, but also the troops attacking other battalions saw the fire in the northwest.
The fighting spirit that was originally high was shaken in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the enemy's fighting spirit was low, Liu Feng made a prompt decision and ordered all battalions to attack across the board to launch the most deadly counterattack against the enemy.
Liu Feng himself, on horseback and carrying a spear, personally led thousands of Chinese soldiers to join the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield had a dramatic reversal. Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.
When he heard the enemy's shouts, he couldn't help but look back.
When Liu Bei saw the raging fire in the northwest, his entire old face instantly turned pale as paper. - Didn't finish reading?
