Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 433 Night Raid! (Thanks to dsa for the monthly ticket support~)

Taishi Ci stood on the city wall, looking at the quiet east, and suddenly he lost his patience and ordered scouts to go and check the situation.

About half a day later, the scout came back and reported:

"Reporting to the general, the enemy has set up camp not far from the border between Xia Pi County and Pengcheng State. It seems that they are not planning to attack here for the time being."

After hearing this, Taishi Ci was certain that the enemy had indeed seen through some clues.

They thought that using those hundreds of ambushes would let the enemy's strategists see that they might be short of manpower, so they would attack without hesitation.

But the opponent's advisers seemed quite cautious.

At this moment, they are neither willing to retreat nor advance. I'm afraid they have sent people to the East Sea Kingdom to gather information!
Once the enemy knew that the Donghai Kingdom was short of troops, I'm afraid Gao Shun and his men would just flee.

We must seize the opportunity and take the initiative. We cannot miss this chance to capture Gao Shun!

According to military advisor Zhuge's plan, as long as Gao Shun could be captured, given his status in Lu Bu's heart, he could at least exchange one state for Lu Bu!
If Lu Bu were to give up the southern part of Xuzhou and Yuzhou at that time, the other party would probably not be able to refuse.

Therefore, this battle can be said to be crucial!
If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement; if it fails, both the Donghai Kingdom and the Pengcheng Kingdom will be lost!
Taishi Ci didn't think any more and immediately ordered all the soldiers to rest early.

We will move out in full force tonight, head to Gao Shun’s camp, and launch a siege attack!
We must capture Gao Shun alive!
And the other side.

In Gao Shun’s camp.

Gao Shun looked at the soldiers who were training hard and unconsciously turned his gaze to the northeast.

He didn't know why the messenger he sent out had not returned yet.

I wonder if we encountered any danger on the road.

However, it is also possible that Lord Chu of the East Sea Kingdom did not rashly advance the front line.

Therefore, it is still uncertain whether the East Sea Kingdom’s military strength is insufficient.

Then wait another day.

If the messenger has not returned by tomorrow day, he will immediately lead the army to retreat to Xia Pi County!
Before I knew it, it was dark.

Just as Gao Shun yawned and was about to fall asleep, Xun You suddenly arrived:

"General, please don't undress before going to sleep.

"Since the enemy has seen that we cannot wait to attack them these past two days, they may come looking for us.

"If you attack our camp tonight, I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy losses!"

Hearing this, Gao Shun shuddered all over.

Xun You’s worries are not without reason.

If the enemy really took the initiative to attack the camp, it could only mean one thing.

That is, the enemy has indeed concentrated its forces in Pengcheng State, while Donghai State must be left empty.

If the enemy never attacks the camp, that would be another possibility.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun immediately stood up and ordered the soldiers to guard the night half and rest the other half.

And when resting, you must not take off your armor or stay away from weapons.

Although sleeping like this is definitely uncomfortable, as long as you can get through these two days, you won’t have to do it again.

In addition, Gao Shun also sent people with some mine cans to deploy defenses far away from the west side of the camp.

Although the defense area was not too large, it was unable to cause effective damage to the enemy.

But as long as the sound of the explosion can wake them up, that's enough!
After completing all these preparations, Gao Shun felt a little relieved and immediately returned to the tent to rest.

If something really happened tonight, he would have enough energy to deal with the emergency. Time unknowingly came to the early hours of the morning.

Cao Hong, who was guarding Gao Shun's camp, couldn't help but yawn.

Although he felt a little unhappy that he, a distinguished general of the Cao family, was assigned such a low-end task as night watch.

But after all, they have just joined Lu Bu not long ago and have no qualifications.

If you can't be patient and start with small things, it will be difficult for you to be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Just when Cao Hong was feeling helpless about his fate, suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in the west!
It was the first time he heard this terrible sound, but he thought it was probably the minefield laid by Gao Shun that was triggered!

Gao Shun had ordered some people to ambush near the mines and set them on fire if they saw the enemy.

And now that the mine can has suddenly exploded, it can only mean one thing - the enemy is really attacking!
At this moment, Cao Hong didn't need to remind him. The sound of the mine can exploding was enough to wake up everyone who was resting in the camp.

Gao Shun rushed out of the tent immediately and looked in the direction of the mine can.

All I saw was a faint light flickering over there, and black smoke that could be clearly seen even in the dark night!
Gao Shun was thankful for the reminder from Xun You, the top strategist, otherwise he might have been ambushed by the enemy tonight!

He immediately ordered all the troops in the camp to guard the gate and be on high alert!

We are not sure about the number of enemy troops at the moment, and our vision is limited, so we cannot rush out of the camp to meet the enemy.

The camp is like a small city, which is very effective in resisting the enemy.

But at this moment, Taishi Ci's army on the other side was not as happy as imagined.

I thought that if we mobilized all our forces tonight, we could catch the enemy off guard!
But they didn't expect that the enemy had buried mines on the road that must be passed to the west of the camp!
Dozens of people were killed or injured in just a moment.

The most important thing is that this huge noise must have woken up the enemy!
But even so, Taishi Ci was aware that he had a huge military advantage.

The enemy didn't know how many soldiers they had, but he knew that Gao Shun only had 30,000 soldiers.

Even if there are camps to help, they do not have the advantage of height after all.

As long as we can break through the gate, we can still defeat the enemy!
And this time, he brought two thousand rattan armor soldiers, one thousand Wudang flying soldiers and one thousand Iron Pagodas!

With these three special types of troops, there is no need to fear Gao Shun’s trap camp!

Even if it is not as strong as the Xianzhen Camp, it is definitely enough to hold back this elite force.

Thinking of this, Taishi Ci immediately began to reorganize his troops.

Since their position had been exposed, there was no need for them to hide any longer. They immediately ordered 50,000 troops to charge towards Gao Shun's camp!
The leading soldier pushed the battering ram, attempting to use this siege weapon to quickly break through the camp gate.

Gao Shun, who was in the camp, also looked gloomy when he saw a large number of enemy troops rushing towards them.

Since the other party is coming, it is just as Xun You said, the enemy's target is indeed him, Gao Shun!

I saw the battering ram approaching the gate.

Gao Shun knew very well that the village gate was made of just some thin pieces of wood tied together.

It can resist human entry, but it is difficult to resist the attack of a battering ram.

Therefore, we must never let the enemy's battering ram get close to the gate!

Gao Shun immediately ordered the throwers to throw gunpowder cans at the enemy's battering ram and the soldiers pushing the battering ram!
As bursts of flames illuminate the night, every flash can take the lives of dozens!

Seeing that the enemy's gunpowder cans were too powerful, their own soldiers could not easily move towards the gate of the village.

Taishi Ci immediately divided his troops into four groups and ordered the soldiers to attack the camp from all four sides at the same time!
