On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 428 Night Attack in the Valley

Duan Wenzhen had been hiding in this valley for three days. Looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, he couldn't help but secretly curse Cui Che for having so many bad habits. When the two armies were fighting, they actually relied on divination to choose auspicious days.

While complaining about Cui Che, Duan Wenzhen couldn't help but feel worried.

Cui Che has led the army for more than 20 years and has won many battles without any defeat. Could it be that he really relied on divination to predict misfortunes and turn disasters into good fortunes?

Duan Wenzhen had suffered enough in this valley. He originally thought that Che would immediately agree when he learned that Yu Zhongwen invited him to fight.

After all, Cui Che's army is famous for its proficiency in battles. Now that Yu Zhongwen has taken the initiative to ask for a battle, there is no reason not to agree.

It’s just that Cui Che agreed and had to postpone it for three days.

But not only did Duan Wenzhen not prepare much fresh water, but he also only brought enough dry food for the soldiers for two days.

In his and Yu Zhongwen's plan, Duan Wenzhen left the camp at night on June 27th, and Yu Zhongwen sent people to make an appointment with Cui Che on the 28th, and the time was set for the morning of the 29th.

Even if they had three meals a day, the ambush soldiers only needed to eat four meals in the wild. Duan Wenzhen brought two days of dry food which was more than enough.

However, Cui Che set the time three days later on the 28th, which was the morning of the second day of July.

Equivalent to the 28th, 29th, 30th and the first day of July, Duan Wenzhen will spend four days in Mang Mountain.

If there is a shortage of water, you can still take risks to get it. If there is no food, it is impossible for Yu Zhongwen to organize civilians to transport dry food into Mang Mountain for him.

There were many birds and animals on the mountain, but the soldiers did not dare to light fires at all. There would be smoke during the day, and the light of fire would also alert the Eastern Sui sentries at night.

In desperation, Duan Wenzhen had to plan carefully and ask his soldiers to save some food and use two days of dry food to survive these four days.

Normally, hunger would be over, but there is going to be a war soon. If you don't have a full stomach, how can you have the strength?

Duan Wenzhen simply asked the soldiers to sit or lie down in the valley, even taking off their armor, so as to save some energy.

It is now late at night on June 30th, and Duan Wenzhen and his soldiers have to stay in this valley for another day.

Just as Duan Wenzhen was sighing at this, the scout at the entrance of the valley hurriedly reported:

"General, there are many birds in the mountains and forests ahead that are frightened and fly into the sky."

Duan Wenzhen's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He had been fighting for many years, so he naturally understood what this meant.

But before Duan Wenzhen could react, the shouts of killing at the entrance had already echoed in the valley.

The special environment of the valley caused the shouts of killing to generate many echoes, as if they were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the soldiers of the Western Sui Dynasty were terrified.

Countless torches lit up outside the valley. Su Dingfang, Shen Guang and other cavalry generals who were serving the army in front of the tent led Cui Che's most elite cavalry and took the lead in defeating the defenders at the entrance of the valley and rushed into the valley.

among.

Su Dingfang waved the horse in his hand and stabbed a Western Sui soldier to death. At the same time, he raised his head and shouted to Shen Guang in front:

"Brother Shen! Cheng Heisi was ordered to stay at the camp, so why don't we let you and I compete to see who kills more enemies tonight!"

Shen Guang was leading the cavalry at the forefront, and his ears were filled with shouts of killing, but he could not hear Su Dingfang's cry clearly.

Duan Wenzhen immediately ordered his guards to light a bonfire and called for the soldiers to rally to him.

I didn't dare to light a fire before because I was worried that the sentries of the Eastern Sui Dynasty would find out. Now that the enemies are attacking, there is no need to hide their whereabouts.

This move allowed the Western Sui soldiers to see the general's position, but it also pointed out the direction for the Eastern Sui cavalry.

Shen Guang took the lead and charged towards Duan Wenzhen. Although there were Western Sui soldiers blocking him along the way, they had no time to penetrate the armor. Facing the impact of the army in front of the tent, they could only fight with their flesh and blood.

These people had been eating and starving in the valley. They were attacked tonight and were frightened. At this time, facing the ceiling of the Eastern Sui army's combat power, if they did not collapse at the first touch, they were worthy of the emperor. Already.

I saw Shen Guang leading his troops to attack Duan Wenzhen, killing the Western Sui soldiers along the way.

But these people more or less bought Duan Wenzhen some time. He had already put on his armor and mounted his horse.

The veteran galloped on his horse, with his eyes wide open, roaring and raising his spear to kill Shen Guang.

Shen Guang was young and vigorous, fearless. With a clang, the two men clashed with each other, and their horses passed by each other.

Just when Shen Guang turned his horse's head and was about to turn around and fight Duan Wenzhen again, he saw that Duan Wenzhen had already walked away.

Only then did Shen Guang realize that he was not fighting in front of the formation, but that the enemy general was trying to escape.

Now Cui Che has already come to the door, pretending to be prepared instead of unprepared, and launches a night attack. At this point, Duan Wenzhen has no choice but to escape.

Keeping a useful life and avenging his shame in the future, Yang Xuangan comforted Yang Su in this way at the beginning.

When Shen Guang saw this, he chased and shouted:

"The person fleeing in front is the enemy general, don't let him go!"

Su Dingfang was originally killing the other generals who were trying to stabilize the Western Sui soldiers. Upon hearing Shen Guang's shouts, Su Dingfang quickly turned his horse's head to intercept Duan Wenzhen.

As soon as a horse came running, Duan Wenzhen saw Su Dingfang's childish face under the firelight, but he didn't pay attention at first.

He's just a yellow-haired boy.

However, the young general Su Dingfang, whom Duan Wenzhen despised, slapped him to the ground.

After all, people have to obey their old age. Duan Wenzhen was Yuwenhu's confidant at first, and was later promoted to his staff. Now Yuwenhu has been dead for thirty-four years, which shows Duan Wenzhen's current age.

Although Su Dingfang was young and had not yet reached his prime, Duan Wenzhen was extremely old and had long lost his former courage.

When Duan Wenzhen endured the pain and stood up to fight again, Su Dingfang's long spear had already pierced his chest. This veteran from Xianbei, Duanbu, had spent his whole life in the army, but he died at the hands of a young general.

Su Dingfang skillfully dismounted from his horse, pulled out the short knife from his waist, and cut off Duan Wenzhen's head. Then he climbed back on the horse, raised his head high and shouted:

"The thief is dead! Why don't you come down quickly!"

The clever cavalrymen hurriedly approached with torches so that everyone present could see the head clearly.

Under various unfavorable factors, and the commander-in-chief was beheaded, the 20,000 soldiers who were transferred from the left route army of the Western Sui Dynasty by Duan Wenzhen and followed him into Mang Mountain completely lost their will to resist and surrendered one after another.

Some people who tried to escape from the valley in the dark were also captured by Cui Che's soldiers who were waiting outside the valley.

He deliberately wanted to block the news, hoping that Yu Zhongwen would still place his hope on this destroyed ambush.

But in fact, reason is also telling Cui Che that Yu Zhongwen will definitely send a messenger to contact Duan Wenzhen before the decisive battle.

there is none left
