Wei Yan returned to the camp with sadness in his heart, ready to announce his actions tonight to his soldiers.

However, as soon as he returned to the gate, he heard the quarrels coming from the camp. He was stunned. Then he accelerated his pace and walked in, shouting in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Wei Yan's personal soldier Wei Ran said, "General, these people want to find you."

"Looking for me? What's wrong?" Wei Yan's face was not good-looking. He looked at the people in front of him with an indignant look on his face and asked with a frown.

"We are here to say goodbye to the general." One of the young generals looked at Wei Yan and looked up and said.

"Say your goodbye? Where are you going?" Wei Yan's face became even worse and he asked in a deep voice.

"We want to get rid of our armor and return to the field and stop joining the army."

"Why?" Wei Yan certainly knew the reason, but he still asked this question.

"We feel that we are not worthy of being a soldier. As a soldier, we are not sick or injured and have to be protected by others. This is really a humiliation to us. Rather than this, we are better off without this status. At least no one will laugh at us when we walk on the streets in the future."

"Yes, we all fought with General Husband. Where have we ever been so cowardly before? Instead of doing this, it's better to go home and farm."

"That's right, we'll stop doing it."

...

The soldiers all looked excited and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan shouted loudly: "Stop me! Why do you think you are lying there and sleeping? You are not cowards, but to accumulate enough strength to kill the enemy better! Don't you remember what you did a few days ago? Did your efforts be wasted? We are about to take action, but you actually said that others don't understand us, even we ourselves don't understand?"

"But even if we participate in defending the city, we can continue to kill the enemy..."

"Fart"! Wei Yan had already sweared at this time and shouted: "I'm not just letting you fight, but killing more enemies in a good state. Only in this way can we ensure the victory of this battle, and the dead soldiers will not die in vain. We are not cowards, but the division of labor between each other is different. I believe that tomorrow, everyone will know the grievances we have suffered today! Which of you still want to withdraw? Just leave directly, I, Wei, will never stop you, but since you stay, you must listen to my orders. No one of you will leave the camp, don't discuss, rest well, accumulate enough strength, and kill a few more bandits at that time!"

"No!" After hearing Wei Yan's words, everyone was excited. They knew that they had misunderstood Wei Yan and knew that they would soon wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy. This battle would wash away the humiliation they had suffered before. So this time, we must kill a few more bandits to make ourselves proud and let these stable defenders and the people see that they are not cowards. Their previous tolerance was all for this critical battle!

Of course, no one of these soldiers asked to leave. Instead, they cherished this rare opportunity. Even the soldiers who spoke disrespectfully to Wei Yan before were secretly regretful and said apologies to Wei Yan with shame.

How could Wei Yan care about such words?" Naturally, he smiled at this.

That night, all the soldiers in Wei Yan's camp were concentrated in their camp, holding weapons in their hands, unable to hide the excitement on their faces, waiting for Wei Yan to issue an order.

Wei Yan also looked solemn and said to everyone: "Brothers, why do we endure during the day and would rather be laughed at by others? It is for this action tonight. For this action, we have dug the tunnel in advance. We did not use this tunnel to escape, but to use it to sneak attack the enemy. Today, Ma Chao sieges the city during the day. Although it did not break, it caused our army to suffer a heavy blow. They will definitely prepare to attack the city tomorrow morning and will never be prepared for us. This is our excellent opportunity. We must fight bravely in this battle, and we must fight hard to damage Ma Chao and completely crush his attack. However, after all, the enemy has many troops, and we have to take risks in this battle. If anyone is unwilling to go, I will never blame everyone."

However, no one stood up. They all looked at the robes carefully and did not dare to move.

Wei Yan was very satisfied with this. He nodded and then issued an order to set off.

So everyone followed him to his tent, lifted his table, and saw an authentic entrance present in front of him. Then Wei Yan was the first to enter the authentic tunnel and led the soldiers forward.

Wei Yan led his army to the outside of the city through the tunnel, defended the direction, and came outside Ma Chao's camp, quietly opened the gate of the village, and then immediately killed him.

Because the Anding defenders had just suffered heavy damage during the day, they could only try their best to defend and had no ability to launch fǎn      gōng, so everyone in the Ma Chao camp relaxed their guard. Unexpectedly, they actually launched a fierce attack. Many soldiers lost their heads in their sleep. When they were awakened, they had no courage to resist, so they fled, killing each other, and trampling on countless people.

Ma Chao caused considerable damage to the enemy because of the daytime siege battle. It is estimated that after this battle, the enemy lost at least one-third, and he became careless. When Wei Yan launched the attack, he had not yet fallen asleep, but was immersed in the joy of breaking Linjing City. In his opinion, he had already severely damaged the enemy yesterday, and he was absolutely sure to break Linjing City in a battle tomorrow.

"Hmph, Wei Yan, you dare to shoot me in front of so many people. Although I dodged, I am very embarrassed. After the city breaks tomorrow, I will humiliate you twice as much to vent my hatred today!"

Ma Chao was imagining the scene of humiliating Wei Yan after the city was broken tomorrow, but suddenly heard the sound of sāo     luàn coming from the camp. He couldn't help but be furious and shouted outside: "Who is making noise in the camp at midnight? Don't you know the consequences of violating military law?"

However, not long afterwards, Pang De entered the tent and said hurriedly: "Major General, it's not good. I don't know which team suddenly broke into the camp and killed and set fire to us everywhere. Our soldiers were not prepared. The camp was in chaos, and there were heavy casualties..."

"What? How could such a thing happen?" Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this. How could someone suddenly break into his camp at this time?

Then Ma Chao quickly put on his armor and prepared to face the enemy with his weapons.

After Ma Chao left the tent, firelights soared into the sky in the camp, and the screams of soldiers came from time to time. The galloping war horses and the soldiers who were unruly. All of this made the entire camp seem very chaotic and disorderly. I don’t know how many people launched an attack, and I don’t know how many people we lost.

"This, how could this happen?" Ma Chao had no idea when he saw this. He wanted to meet the enemy, but he had no idea where the enemy was, and there were only dozens of people around him. In this case, even if he encountered the enemy, it would be a dead end.
