The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.
Chapter 101 gave Quan Cong a small shock.
The weapons and provisions needed for this battle were stored in Damo, so Guan Xing didn't need to carry much baggage; he could simply travel light and run at full speed.
Guan Xing set off at night and arrived safely at Damu on the morning of the third day. After exchanging words with Shen Yi, who was stationed at Damu, he went to rest. He continued his journey to Yuqian after dark.
After traveling more than 300 li from Da Mo to Yu Qian, Guan Xing spent five days traveling by night and hiding by day before finally arriving in Yu Qian territory.
At noon that day, the army hid and rested. Ning Huan, who had gone to scout, returned and reported: "General, Quan Cong has passed Yuqian and is less than eighty li away from us. Calculating the time, we can still travel another forty or fifty li before dark. That is to say, after dark, the distance between us will be less than forty li."
Guan Xing pondered, "Have you been discovered? What is their marching posture like? Are they tense or relaxed?"
Ning Huan said, "General, rest assured, our scouts avoid their scouts whenever they see them, and they haven't been discovered yet. As for their marching posture, they seem quite relaxed, without any sense of tension as if facing a formidable enemy."
Guan Xing nodded and said, "Then let's act tonight. This place is not far from the Zhe River. Once the Wu army crosses the Zhe River, they will definitely strengthen their defenses. Tonight is our last chance."
"Ning Huan, you continue your reconnaissance and keep an eye on Wu's every move. The rest of you, rest and conserve your energy. We'll fight to the death tonight."
Meng Jun said in a low voice, "General, doesn't the military manual say to attack when they are halfway across the river? Should we wait until they cross the Zhe River and then suddenly launch an attack?"
Guan Xing laughed and scolded, "Do you think Quan Cong doesn't understand the principles you already understand? Quan Cong is probably also worried that we will do this, so he will definitely be extra careful when crossing the river and will not give you the opportunity to attack halfway across."
"On the contrary, Quan Cong is afraid that we will attack them while they are crossing the river. They will definitely focus their main efforts on crossing the river and will not expect us to make a move before they cross. This is the key to surprise, understand?"
Meng Jun nodded emphatically and said, "I've learned a lot. I'm going to sleep now. You should get some rest too."
Evening arrived quickly, and Ning Huan returned on time to report on the location of the Wu army.
Guan Xing ordered his army to eat on the spot, munching on dry rations and drinking cold water, and then immediately set off, taking advantage of the darkness to sneak towards the Wu army camp.
They arrived at Wu's camp smoothly at 3:45 AM. Looking into the distance, Wu's camp stretched for miles and was completely dark.
Guan Xing called over Deng Hong and instructed him: "Your assault team will go first in 25 minutes. Silently take out the sentries on the arrow tower and open the camp gate to let us in."
Deng Hong nodded and said, "Then what? Should I lead some men to sneak into the commander's camp and capture Quan Cong?"
Guan Xing shook his head and said, "Stop joking. How can someone who has been fooled once be fooled a second time? Zhang Cheng, Zhou Xun, Zhuge Ke and others were all captured by us in the commander's tent. Do you think Quan Cong would still be living in the commander's tent? Even a fool would know that tonight's commander's tent is just a smokescreen."
Deng Hong scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, "Then what should we do?"
Guan Xing said, "After opening the camp gate, your assault team doesn't need to rush to attack. Pay attention to observation and try your best to find Quan Cong for me."
"It's okay if we can't find it. Ning Huan is still blocking the way from the outside. Hopefully, he can stop him."
The surrounding mountains are numerous and there are few roads to travel. Ning Huan has already familiarized himself with the terrain and is very confident that he can block Quan Cong.
When the time for the attack arrived, Deng Hong led thirty assault team members to sneak towards the enemy camp. They automatically split into three groups along the way and headed towards the three arrow towers closest to them.
Deng Hong led his team straight to the arrow tower in front. When they arrived near the antlers, they took out a dagger that the steel mill had specially made for the assault team, gently cut the ropes binding the antlers, and removed the wood to reveal an opening that they could easily pass through.
Deng Hong then led his team through the gap, crept up to the foot of the arrow tower, bit his dagger, and quietly climbed up the tower.
There were three sentries guarding the watchtower, all of whom were dozing off against the railing. Deng Hong led two teammates to the three men from behind, nodded to his teammates, and made his move. He covered the sentries' mouths and noses from behind with his left hand to prevent them from making a sound, while his right hand swiftly slashed the sentries' throats with a dagger.
After finishing, he caught the sentry's body, gently placed it down, gave a hand signal to his teammates below the watchtower, and then stood on the watchtower to play the role of a sentry.
The teammate downstairs received the signal, quietly opened the camp gate, and stretched towards Guan Xing's location.
The other two arrow towers also went smoothly. Seeing that all three squads had completed their missions, Guan Xing quickly led the army toward the camp.
After walking for a long time and just as they were about to enter the camp, Deng Hong, who was on the watchtower, suddenly saw a patrol of soldiers walking towards them. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved to Guan Xing to send a signal.
Guan Xing kept a close eye on the information on the arrow tower. Upon receiving the signal, he immediately raised his hands and lay down, and the army behind him also lay down.
There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black all around. The patrolmen did not see the Han soldiers lying on the ground, but they did see the open camp gate. They asked in surprise, "Why is the gate open? Go and close it. Also, remind the other patrol teams to be on high alert and be careful of Han spies infiltrating."
"Holy crap..." Upon hearing this, Deng Hong immediately became furious. Without saying a word, he drew his bow and fired, successfully hitting the target and causing the opponent to scream in pain.
The sudden attack caused the surviving patrolmen to turn pale with fear, shouting in terror, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Damn it..." Guan Xing stood up and cursed, "Brothers, no need to hide anymore, charge with me!"
After saying this, he took the lead and charged forward, with his army following closely behind.
They were less than a hundred meters from the camp gate at that moment, and almost in one charge they stormed into the camp, relentlessly rushing towards the patrolling soldiers.
At the same time, the sudden shouts of battle startled the sleeping horses, and a piercing neighing sound rang out in the camp.
Guan Xing hurriedly shouted, "Meng Jun, lead your men to seize the warhorses, then you can do whatever you want."
The camp was too large, and traveling on foot was too slow. Having horses would be much more convenient, at least they could quickly create chaos for the Wu army.
After Guan Xing finished speaking, he rushed towards the nearest tent, stormed inside and wreaked havoc, then came out and headed to the next one.
The other Han troops also broke up into smaller groups and, led by their respective captains and platoon leaders, attacked the tents, killing and setting fires to create chaos. Soon, the camp was engulfed in flames.
Such a commotion naturally alerted the commander-in-chief, Quan Cong. Quan Cong was indeed not staying in the general's tent, but following Zhang Cheng's advice, he was staying in an inconspicuous small tent. Upon hearing the commotion, he immediately got up and rushed out of the tent. Looking at the raging fire, he roared with fury, "Damn Guan Xing, how dare he attack the camp! Everyone, move closer to me! Move closer to me!"
Despite the order being given, the soldiers' assembly speed was frustratingly slow.
This is understandable, because Quan Cong did not expect Guan Xing to attack the camp and made no preparations beforehand.
In Quan Cong's view, this place was still far from Da Mo, and it would not be too late to take precautions after crossing the Zhe River. He never dreamed that Guan Xing would run hundreds of miles away to attack the camp.
How dare Guan Xing do this? How did so many Han soldiers get here so quietly? What were the Wu scouts doing? They didn't receive any news at all.
With both sides already at war, Guan Xing naturally wouldn't give him a chance to think. Upon hearing Quan Cong's order to "move closer to me," he immediately roared, "Brothers, charge with me!"
After saying this, he took the lead and charged towards Quan Cong. The nearby Han army immediately abandoned their target and surrounded Guan Xing.
The Wu army has a numerical advantage, and if they were to regroup, the Han army would be in trouble. Therefore, Quan Cong must not be given time to assemble his troops. The Wu army must be scattered during the assembly process, keeping the Wu army camp in a state of chaos.
Guan Xing led the charge, while Quan Cong also gathered many of his personal guards. As soon as the two sides got close, they simultaneously fired arrows.
After the rain of arrows, both sides suffered casualties, but neither had time to fire another arrow. Therefore, Guan Xing and Quan Cong transformed into two ferocious beasts, leading their respective troops and charging fiercely at each other without hesitation.
