A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 300 Night Attack
Xu Zuyin guarded the border for decades and fought no fewer than a hundred battles against the Quanrong.
From a common soldier to the top commander of Beirong Pass, he gained not only scars but also experience in dealing with the Quanrong.
What's most annoying about the Quanrong is that if they can win, they'll raid the pass and rob people and grain; if they can't win, they'll run back to the grasslands and hide.
The grasslands are vast and often hundreds of miles uninhabited. If their troops from within the Great Wall wanted to advance deep into the grasslands, their logistical support would not be able to keep up.
The Quanrong did have fixed cities, but they were too far away from their Beirong Pass.
The Quanrong attacked them city by city and pass by pass in order.
They don't need to bring any supplies; as long as they win, the food and people of the previous city will be their supplies.
Even if they lose, it doesn't matter. The Quanrong are all cavalry and skilled hunters; they won't starve to death on the grasslands.
Because of this, the Quanrong would cause trouble every now and then. When the court took it seriously, they would say it was the work of bandits and deny that it was their own army.
Although the number of troops Xiao Yuan brought this time was small, they were all elite soldiers.
With particularly abundant supplies, Xu Zuyin wanted to have a good fight and vent his anger.
Ideally, we should be able to reach the Quanrong royal court.
Despite the fact that the Quanrong people were primitive and their handicrafts were extremely underdeveloped, the amount of gold and silver treasures in their royal court was no less than that of the Jin Dynasty and the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The Quanrong did not produce jewelry; they were merely jewel carriers.
Whether soldiers or civilians, the Quanrong people were also part-time bandits. They not only harassed the Great Jin Dynasty, but also robbed any country and caravan they could reach.
This Quanrong king was particularly ruthless in his youth, and during those years he was so corrupt that no caravans sold any goods to Quanrong.
This caused them to run out of salt and tea bricks for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the people were so weak from lack of salt, he could have continued his reckless behavior.
Xu Zuyin's brilliant idea was exactly what Xiao Yuan wanted to do.
That damned prince dared to covet his wife, and he died without getting his revenge, so he's still burning with rage.
It would be good to send them back to their hometown.
Didn't Jin Zekang say that if the Quanrong wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Great Jin, they should send that old woman, Tose, along?
He thought it was a good idea; if that concubine still had her charm, she should be able to be sold.
Xu Zuying had no idea of the many dark thoughts in Xiao Yuan's mind; he was simply glad that the one who came to supervise the army this time was the Marquis of Zhenguo.
For all the generals guarding the border, the military supervisors sent by the imperial court were the most annoying type of people.
Those who don't care about anything and only know how to eat, drink, be merry, and live a life of debauchery are the most worry-free.
What I fear most are those ambitious and eager-to-achieve great successes.
In warfare, it is tantamount to an amateur instructing an expert, which is undoubtedly digging one's own grave.
He wasn't afraid of scheming bad people, but he was afraid of fools who had a sudden inspiration. Sometimes he even wished that the military governor had been bribed by the Quanrong people.
After all, there are traces of wrongdoing, but it's impossible to guard against stupidity.
After discussing their strategy, the two split up and began to act separately.
Xiao Yuan selected twenty of his trusted confidants, along with Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei, to launch a midnight raid on the enemy camp and set it on fire.
Xu Zuyin ordered 500 elite soldiers to lie in ambush outside the city, and to charge in as soon as the fire broke out.
This is where the advantages of having city walls become apparent.
The Quanrong people all lived in tents, which were coated with tung oil to make them waterproof, so they burned very quickly.
Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei are both incredibly sarcastic; while others were burning down camps, the two of them headed straight for the horse farm.
Liu Xu didn't hand over the Heaven-Opening Thunder to Jiang Xinyu, but she had stored quite a few in her space. She threw them into the horse pen, and the loud bang was more deadly than the destructive power.
Not only did all the horses go mad and run around wildly, but even the Quanrong soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, thinking that the gods were angry.
This kneeling action blocked the horse's path, and the horse's hooves trampled wildly, instantly killing many of the dog-dragon soldiers.
Bao Beibei's eyes lit up immediately.
Superstition is great; he's really good at it.
With that thought in mind, she created a few lightning bolts in mid-air. Regardless of whether they struck people or not, they were blue and quite fantastical.
Jiang Xinyu coordinated perfectly with Lightning to throw away the thunderbolt, making the god's wrath even more effective this time, with more and more Quanrong soldiers kneeling and kowtowing.
It's often said that the lower the social class, the more ignorant people are. The generals of the Quanrong killed countless people and even ate human flesh. They didn't care about gods or anything like that.
He whipped the soldiers while yelling at them to get up and put out the fire.
This must be a conspiracy by the people of Jin.
Even if the gods are angry, so what? They are the gods of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they have no right to interfere with the Quanrong warriors.
They can overthrow the gods of the Great Jin by killing its people.
Only their wolf god is the greatest, and the Quanrong warriors should not bow down to a foreign god.
Bao Beibei and Jiang Xinyu exchanged a smile.
We were just worried about not finding a leader, and now this is obvious! So what are we waiting for? Let's chop him up!
Bao Beibei cleaved three people in succession, and Jiang Xinyu also took advantage of the chaos to kill two others with water arrows.
However, since Xiao Yuan had already given the whistle, they had no choice but to retreat westward.
Next up is the Great Jin army's home ground. In such a chaotic scene, those with superior martial arts skills are at a disadvantage.
In the chaos of war, being accidentally injured by a stray arrow would be a huge loss.
The two were quick enough to get out in time, and Xiao Yuan was relieved to see that his wife was safe and sound.
The two horses were too fast for him to catch up with, and when he saw the warhorses getting out of control, he was terrified that his wife would be trampled by them.
Tonight's sneak attack was a three-part attack.
First, Xiao Yuan and his men sneaked in and set fire to the enemy camp to create chaos. Then, Liu Xu and several guerrilla generals led 500 elite soldiers in a further attack.
Finally, Xu Zuying led the main force in a pursuit of victory.
The first two waves of this three-stage ambush are the most dangerous, but there's no other way.
The sound of horses' hooves was so loud that if the enemy camp hadn't been thrown into chaos, they would have been detected by the local authorities as soon as they left the city gate.
Only by creating a sufficient time difference can you catch the opponent off guard. Of course, if the coordination is not good, the first two waves will just be easy prey for them.
Liu Xu knew that Bao Beibei, as the first-tier member, was already anxious, and upon seeing the flames soaring into the sky, she immediately led her men on horseback at full speed.
Before Bao Beibei and her group could react after withdrawing from the enemy camp, the elite troops of the Great Jin Dynasty arrived.
These 500 men used the best horses in the city, with spikes tied to the bottom of their legs.
The elite troops and fierce horses trampled and injured countless Quanrong people wherever they went, causing cries of agony.
The Quanrong army was initially caught off guard, but they have now caught up and some of them have already mounted their horses and are fighting with the Jin people.
As more and more Quanrong troops joined the battle, the Great Jin forces gradually lost their advantage. Just when the battle was at its most intense, reinforcements arrived.
The deafening shouts and drumbeats created a massive, overwhelming scene. The enemy was a dark, dense mass, and no one knew exactly how many there were on the other side.
Warfare is all about momentum.
The Quanrong people were warlike but not fearless. Seeing that the enemy seemed to be launching a full-scale attack, they dared not linger in battle.
He runs away, he chases, he can't fly.
Xu Zuyin led his men to pursue them for more than 50 li, and when they took stock, they discovered that their total of more than 3,000 men had captured nearly 2,000 enemy soldiers.
Fortunately, several hundred people were injured and unable to move due to being trampled by horses, and fortunately, it was dark at this time and the other side did not know their background.
Otherwise, given that the dogs were half as physically strong as the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, they might not have been able to control these prisoners.
