Chapter 499: Dark Night Raid

"The victory of this battle must belong to our soldiers of the Great Qin. Those soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty are really no different from the bandits of the Great Qin Dynasty. What I want in this battle is not just to defeat them. What I want is to destroy them and then leave their warships. After I captured the Mauryan Dynasty in the future, these warships must be insufficient. The warships docked here can hold tens of thousands of people. Whether it is to transfer troops or transport supplies, it is of great benefit to our Great Qin."

Peng Yue's deputy general understood as soon as he heard this. It turned out that Peng Yue did not take the 150,000 Mauryan army seriously at all. He had already passed them and targeted their warships.

"If we only look at the number of people, our soldiers in the Qin Dynasty are much less than those in the Mauryan Dynasty. If we force an attack, some damage will inevitably be inevitable. I wonder if the general has already had a good plan?"

"When the soldiers rest in the camp tonight, I will lead a team of men..."

At that moment, Peng Yue made some arrangements with his deputy general. After more than half an hour, Peng Yue's deputy general nodded and went out, with a confident look on his face. Obviously, he still quite recognized Peng Yue's arrangement.

After sending off his deputy general, Peng Yue let out a long sigh and clenched his fists tightly. He knew that this time was actually the first time he had used such a formal military force since he was among the generals of the Qin Dynasty.

This time, he was a total of three armies, Sima Xin and Han Xin. After Peng Yue, Ying Gao was definitely the most unsure of himself, otherwise he would not have started recruiting and training in Jiujiang County. Moreover, when he was enthroned, he was just appointing himself as the deputy commander of the Qin naval army.

Although this position is quite high, and the position of the orthodox leader is still vacant, Peng Yue knew that Ying Gao was leaving a way out for him. If his abilities were not competent for these things, Ying Gao would replace him, which would be legitimate.

In the end, Ying Gao chose to believe in himself, so Peng Yue also knew that if he wanted to prove that the emperor believed in him correctly, he had to take out something different from others in this battle.

It was precisely because of this determination that Peng Yue rejected the simpler way to win by his deputy. As he said, he knew how difficult it was to build the Daqin warships, so he could not remain indifferent to such many warships placed in front of him.

If his credit is written to annihilate tens of thousands of enemy troops and seize dozens of warships, it will be enriched. As for attacking the capital, in Peng Yue's opinion, Sima Xin and Han Xin will not give up. To compete with others for such credit, it will actually not have any advantage.

That night, there was almost snoring in the barracks of the Mauryan Dynasty. They all knew that they were about to embark on a journey of not short distances, but according to the description of their chief general, the dynasty they were about to attack was really incredible, and they even needed tens of thousands of people to attack. Sharishuga sent a total of 150,000 people to make it easier for them.

Not only that, there are many treasures and beautiful girls there. According to their generals, once they attacked that place, they could enjoy it there for a while, so these soldiers were very relaxed for this expedition, basically without any pressure.

Even Xu Fu fell asleep in a drowsy after a full meal. Although he had several successful voyages, Xu Fu was more experienced than others. He knew that everything was possible on the sea. Although he had experienced sailors on his boat, he probably couldn't sleep much safely after getting on the boat. Even after arriving in the Qin Dynasty, he had to take advantage of the chaos to find a county or village to collect some good women and objects. Otherwise, how could he fool the relics from the relics?

On the outside of the military camp, there were sparse teams patrolling at night, but they were basically all reluctant, and they were yawning without paying attention to the situation around them.

In fact, there were more weapons in the Mauryan Dynasty than in the Great Qin Dynasty, with a total of forty or fifty types, and all kinds of long and short weapons were also equipped. However, one thing is that these soldiers were equipped with equipment, but they didn’t know how long it took for them to systematically trained. Under such circumstances, the sensitivity of the real enemy attack can naturally be imagined.

"Swoosh..."

While a team of people patrolled the place almost the farthest from their camp, they were about to turn around and walk back, suddenly, they heard the sound of breaking through the air for a while, as if they had a little impression of this sound, but they could not remember it.

Finally, when the sound suddenly reached their own ears, they all felt a chill on their bodies. When they lowered their heads, they finally remembered what the sound was. Isn’t it the sound of arrows breaking through the air? But at this time, it was obviously useless to think about it, because the arrows were already inserted in their chests.

The one that took their lives was nothing else, but the Qin crossbow unique to the Qin Dynasty. I dare not say anything else, but after the Qin crossbows modified by Ying Gao and Zhang Kai, even if you look at the entire era, it is very advanced.

"Quick, change into their clothes and continue walking along their route!"

Seeing that the team of men had been shot down, several soldiers from the Qin Dynasty rushed out from the darkness. They were all wearing thin clothes and were ready to take off the armor of the patrol soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty and put them on themselves. Then, they learned their route and slowly patrolled around the agreed surroundings.

After walking two or three times, they saw another team. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, they all found a black cloth strip tied on each other's arms, which shows that the other team of troops had also been pretended to have been pretended by the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

In the end, in just a short time, all the guards patrolling around several camps of the Mauryan Dynasty were taken down by Peng Yue's subordinates in this way. Of course, this was not a sudden idea, but the effect that Peng Yue had sent people to study their patrol routes and the situation of changing guards for several days.

When they found that all the patrol teams around had been replaced by their own people, under the cover of the night, they began to approach the camp of the Mauryan Dynasty under the cover of the night.

Finally, they almost touched the gate of the camp, which was exactly the location arranged by Peng Yue in advance. After that, they took down a huge Qin crossbow from behind, and then neatly installed something on the Qin crossbow's arrowhead.

At this moment, an object like a Kongming lantern suddenly rose in the distance. When everyone saw it, they knew it was time. The next second, everyone's arrows were lit on fire, and then, lights lit the night sky and shot towards the camp of the Mauryan Dynasty.

The heavy arrows were filled with fire-driven objects made of animal fat. This was prepared by Peng Yue as early as the Qin Dynasty. His combat characteristics were that he was very good at using these external objects, so the guys in his team were equipped with quite complete items.

As for Qin Crossbow alone, everyone was equipped with at least two models, which caused a lot of criticism in the army at the beginning. But now, with the first battle, the things he carried were really very useful, which made his soldiers very impressed.

The heavy animal fats had all melted when they fell on the dense camp tents with the flames on the tip of the arrow, and penetrated into the already flammable camp tents, igniting one camp after another.

"Retract quickly, the general will make his own arrangements in the next step!"

After the arrows, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty saw that a considerable number of the camps were ignited by their arrows. At someone's order, all of them disappeared into the night. The Mauryan Dynasty's promise was still quiet outside, as if no one had ever come.

The rapidly burning camp tent finally woke more and more Mauryan soldiers from their sleep. They thought that it was just their big tent that caught fire, but after they ran out, they found that many big tents were on fire, and the fire was not small. Finally, they realized that their big tent might have been attacked.

As the commander-in-chief of this war, Polaro always felt something wrong in his heart, so he did not sleep very honestly. After hearing the noisy movement outside, he immediately walked out, but after seeing a large area of ​​fire, he immediately thought of a possibility, the enemy attacked.

"Quickly integrate the troops and follow me out of the camp to find the enemy!"

The reason why Polaro was appointed as the commander of this expedition by Sharishuga is enough to show that he is a pretty good general within the scope of the Mauryan Dynasty. But what is funny is that the Mauryan Dynasty has not fought very seriously in recent years. In addition to enjoying life, their army basically does something like eliminating pagans. The serious experience on the battlefield is basically nothing.

A total of 150,000 people, Polaro directly lit about 70,000 to 80,000 people, and followed him out of the camp. The remaining people stayed in the camp to extinguish the flames that were not big or small.

At this time, Xu Fu and the people he brought from Daqin were not doing well and almost all ran onto the boat. However, when they saw that there was no sign of the enemy at all, they felt relieved again. The tents on their left and right were not lit, so they simply went to bed again.

Polaro and his soldiers walked around the camp. Unfortunately, they found the bodies of some dead patrol soldiers, which made Polaro even more convinced that they had been attacked.

But after thinking for a while, he was not so worried, because in his opinion, if the number of enemies was enough, he would probably be difficult for him to resist while all the soldiers under his command were sleeping, but the enemy did not do that, which means that the number of enemies must be far below them, so he could only attack them by setting fire.

Under normal circumstances, his idea was indeed fine, but now, the enemy he encountered was Peng Yue. Although he was not very famous in the Qin Dynasty, in the era of Ying Gao, this guy was the pioneer of guerrilla warfare. In other words, winning with less was Peng Yue's favorite and good at it.

"General, I found a group of people running away. It should be the people who set fire in our military camp before!"

While the Polaro was analyzing, suddenly a deputy general came up behind him, claiming that he had found traces of the enemy.

"Okay! Their number must be much worse than that of me, so catch up quickly!"

After saying that, he did not take a closer look at whether the arrows shot on his soldiers were common things that were usually used by old opponents of the Mauryan Dynasty. He threw down his bodies and took people to chase the enemies who were fleeing in their eyes.

Of course, it was Peng Yue's arrangement that those who escaped were arranged by Peng Yue. Polaro took the lead and arrived in front of the team. Sure enough, there was a team of people running towards the beach in the other direction. Without saying a word, he chased after him with his men.

He was indeed chasing the enemy, but the escape route had long been planned by Peng Yue. He brought tens of thousands of infantry. If the Polaro really wanted to catch up with this team of about a thousand people, it would have taken some effort.

It doesn't matter if this pursuit is over. It's been chasing for almost an hour. The soldiers are so tired that they are no longer able to do it, but they don't even catch up with them.

When the Polaro saw that it was dawn for another one or two hours, and he had to go out to fight, so he had to give up the order to withdraw his troops and temporarily gave up this pursuit, because there was no harm to them.
