Chapter 438
Thousands of troops stopped silently.
"Rest for now. No fire allowed. In half an hour, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong will lead the Flying Bear Army and attack the enemy camp."
"Zhang He and Gao Lan, you two will lead three thousand cavalrymen carrying flammable materials and head straight for the plank road. If there are any enemy troops stationed there, defeat them immediately and then burn the plank road as quickly as possible."
"If the enemy cannot come, send out a whistle arrow, and I will send as many men as possible to support you."
Dong Yu looked at the generals around him and gave orders.
"The last general takes command!"
Everyone responded in a low voice.
After some improvements, Dong Jun's whistle arrows could still be heard from ten miles away.
Of course, Dong Yu didn't have this ability. He relied on the gunpowder tied to the whistle arrow.
Although gunpowder is difficult to purify these days and cannot produce great power, it is still very good if used in flares.
"It's almost time!"
"Soldiers, take out the wine you brought with you."
"Drink with me, and then, with the help of alcohol, fight bravely against the enemy!"
"Let the enemies who dare to invade see how our army defeated them!"
Dong Yu took off the wine bag from his waist, pulled out the cork, held it high and shouted.
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
The soldiers were finally able to speak and immediately agreed.
The wine flowed from the corners of his mouth to his beard and into his neck.
Accompanied by a series of refreshing "Hah" sounds, everyone threw their wine bags on the ground.
"Hahaha, so happy!"
"Hahaha!!"
Thousands of people gathered together to drink and laugh heartily.
"Brothers, drink with me tonight, ride with me tonight and kill the enemy!"
"After this battle, take your rewards and go back to have more children and take more concubines."
“Have a good winter!”
Dong Yu jumped on his horse, raised the golden stick high and shouted loudly.
"I will follow the general's orders!"
Everyone shouted and raised their weapons.
The long spears and sabers flashed with a captivating cold light under the moonlight.
"Dong Jun is mighty, kill!"
With an order, thousands of troops were divided into two groups, rushing towards the plank road and the enemy camp respectively.
Two thousand cavalrymen headed straight for the Yizhou army camp on the banks of the Wei River.
The camp with more than 10,000 soldiers and armored personnel was neither big nor small.
Sun Zhao, the general of Yizhou, was definitely a general who preferred stability.
More than a hundred scouts were deployed around the camp, divided into two groups to patrol within a ten-mile radius of the camp in the first and second half of the night.
Because the camp was located next to the Wei River, no trenches were dug to avoid the emergency of diverting water to flood the camp.
However, although no trenches were dug, several antlers were laid out.
Even though Dong Jun was being blocked at his doorstep, this man still took the trouble to place deer antlers around the camp, which shows how cautious he was.
The patrolling scout suddenly saw a dense mass of dark shadows rushing towards them in the darkness, and quickly threw his torch over.
The faint light revealed the figures of thousands of cavalrymen in the darkness.
"who!"
"Enemy, enemy..."
Before the scout could shout, an arrow pierced the enemy's throat.
"How can such a weak light hit it?"
Dong Yu looked at Huang Zhong in surprise.
The distance just now was more than a hundred steps.
Taking more than a hundred steps during the day and taking more than a hundred steps at night are completely different in difficulty.
Although the moonlight is bright tonight, the visibility is only about a hundred meters.
"Just now, the other party was holding a torch, and he didn't move until the flame disappeared."
"I'm just guessing."
Huang Zhong answered truthfully.
"You've said so much, why don't you just say you're guessing?"
Zhang Liao asked in a somewhat strange tone.
"If I don't say this, how can I appear awesome?"
"This isn't entirely a guess; there's also some prediction involved."
Huang Zhong tilted his head to look at Zhang Liao.
"..."
Zhang Liao opened his mouth, but the words in his throat didn't come out in the end.
He felt that what Huang Zhong said made sense.
You're so good at pretending.
Along the way, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao kept shooting arrows.
This made Dong Yu, who was not very good at archery, full of envy.
