Chapter 267 Night Attack
Qi Zuoyu, the ancestor of the Shang clan, made great contributions to controlling the flood, and was granted the title of Shang. Later generations called the ruined land where the Shang clan lived as "Shangqiu".
Cheng Tang, the thirteenth generation grandson of Qi, destroyed Xia and established the Shang Dynasty, and the capital was Nanbo at the beginning.
The Zhou Dynasty was established, and the Zhou emperor granted Wei Zi, a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, to be called the Song State, and the capital was Song City.
The history of this place is evident.
The Emperor of Qi established the capital of Bianliang, promoted Songzhou to Yingtian Prefecture, and served as the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.
In addition to the small area of lonely mountains and hills, this place is an endless plain, accounting for more than 90% of the total landform.
Wei Yunkong thought that there was no danger to guard here and there were no soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests, so he relaxed his vigilance and did not send many sentries.
This was a fatal mistake. You should know that because Chen Shou attached great importance to horses, he set the Western Regions horse road early and bought countless war horses.
Zhang Zhengyuan's subordinates had 70,000 or 80,000 cavalrymen. With such a landform, fast horses galloped can be said to be like the wind.
They did not have ambush, but a charge was enough to catch up with and surround the Huai Army, which was dominated by infantry.
The night is not deep, and the cool moonlight spreads, and the world is like daylight.
Wei Yunkong ordered camping by the river. The river water had long since turned into ice. Not only was the black-sailed boat of some family docked quietly by the river. The cool river water hit the side of the boat from time to time, making a "ding dong" sound, and occasionally a few birds crowed around him.
The Huai Army was very relaxed. A few people were watching from a distance, while the rest washed their bodies by the river or boiled water into the kettle.
They talked about each other, and had more or less a vision for this war in their hearts.
Wei Yunkong looked at the bright moon in the sky, and felt very passionate. When he sent troops, he was actually very reluctant.
Because he didn't understand Chen Shou's strength, he only knew that Chen Shou easily got rid of his brother. His brother's strategy was far higher than himself. So what ability did he have and how could he avenge him?
However, after the Wei family died, Wei Yunse, he no longer had the ability to fully master the two Huaihe Rivers. Those salt merchants were the real masters.
They were cut off from their financial path by Chen Shou's new salt administration. All of these people have collected money that is as rich as the country, but as long as they don't let them continue to make money for a day, it will never be tolerated like stepping on their kidneys.
Therefore, under the pressure of these people, the Wei family had to send troops.
Fortunately, Yao Guan helped him, and he actually created a bloody edict to ask all the heroes in the world to attack Chen Shou together.
This helped Wei Yunkong's great favor, and in his opinion he was an ally from heaven.
Suddenly, the earth in the distance seemed to shake. Before Wei Yunkong could react, there were screams coming from the north.
In the sound of the wind, the horse's hooves "rumble..." sounded in pieces, intertwined and echoed the clanging and clanging sound of armor, and from time to time, a few horse neighs came.
The firelight soared into the sky, and the dazzling fireworks rose into the sky. They were signal flares in Chen Shou's army, guiding the cavalry to rush towards this place.
This place is the central army of the Huai Army. If the central army is destroyed, the army will be over.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
No need to shout, everyone already knows it, but in a hurry, many people's leather armor and weapons were still in the tent.
The cavalry in the distance had already been killed. There were no one knowing how many people were in the night, but they saw the dark shadow-like people rushed over.
On the river bank, the Huai Army's tents were lit, and the flames made the river surface red and thick smoke rolled everywhere.
The visitor obviously had a plan, and the first thing he did after he arrived was to set fire.
After the dryness of winter, the reeds and haystacks by the river were extremely flammable, and the temporary camps of the Huai Army had already spread fire.
"Kill!" the soldiers shouted in unison, and the world was shocked. Suddenly, a general in front rushed towards him with his gun, and the iron cavalry behind him rushed forward. The general shouted: "Hedong Yue Peng is here! The dog thief of the Wei family, come and die!"
The sound of killing around was shaking, screams were everywhere, and the sound of metal and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
Wei Yunkong was panicked. He was a real playboy. He had been hiding under his brother's wings, and was living a very uncomfortable life.
Facing such a scene, he was instantly panicked and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the Huai Army was not all full of wine bags. When they saw that the chief general did not express their opinions, they hurried to him and shouted in his ear: "Master, if there is an enemy attack, please order a counterattack!"
"Oh, yes! Counterattack, fight back quickly!"
In front of him, a veteran general in the Huai Army glared and shouted: "The escapee will be killed immediately!"
This sentence is not aimless. There are already many Huai troops preparing to jump into the river to escape.
Arrows flying in the air were flying, dust and fog soaring, and a large number of iron cavalry rushed towards us.
The waves on the riverside beat, and a piece of bloody red rolled up and retreated. The smoke of gunpowder dissipated slightly, and the iron cavalry rushed around. Wei Yunkong's ears were "buzzing..." and his face was pale, and there was a fire in his eyes, which seemed a little dull.
At this moment, the flags floated behind the cavalry, and countless iron cavalry rushed out. The flags floated by, and under the flames, a flag with the word "Zhang" was particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the battlefield in the distance, pointed at the horse whip and smiled, "It's really... idiot! Hahaha, he put all his troops here to help me succeed."
Zhang Zhengyuan, who has always been a mature young man, couldn't help laughing to the sky.

In the water pavilion, Chen Shou couldn't sleep all night.
Tonight is the day when Zhang Zhengyuan is going to attack the Huai Army. As long as this battle is won, the Huai Army will be injuring the bones if it does not withdraw.
Next, the army headed south, took down the entire Huainan, and advanced to Huaiyang.
On the big bed, Chen Shou tossed and sighed, it was already early morning and had not fallen asleep.
Li Xianglin on the outside of the bed rubbed her eyes and lay on his chest and asked, "Master, why haven't she slept yet?"
"I can't sleep...Light the candle."
Li Xianglin stood up and lit a candle. She only wore an apricot yellow lake silk bellyband and half a piece of white gauze bloomers. She put her two white lotus-like arms around Chen Shou's neck and asked, "Master, are you worried?"
Chen Shou smiled and pinched her face, saying, "You don't understand even if you say it."
Li Xianglin put an arm on the couch, looking at him with sleepy eyes and supported her head. She looked so cute and innocent.
Chen Shou held her thin and tender body into his arms, and casually kneaded her small and perky buttocks, and said, "Tonight, there is a big event that concerns our family's life and death in a very far place."
Li Xianglin was touched by him and giggled, "Then Xianglin is not sleeping anymore, wait with the master."
Chen Shou chuckled, feeling much more comfortable in his heart. He stroked Li Xianglin's hair like a little pet to comfort him.
