    ?

    The gold is sinking, and the night is falling.

    But even so, it was quite hot at night.  After all, it is the hottest season now, and the weather at the end of June is very hot.

    The soldiers in Xue Rengui's army rested during the day to recharge their batteries.  In the evening, the cooks had already buried the pots for cooking. After dinner, the lieutenant soldiers had recovered enough energy, packed up everything, and prepared to go out.

    When the entire night covers the land, although there is a bright moon in the sky, the visibility under the night is very low.

    At this time, the order to send troops was issued.

    The army in the camp gathered quickly, left the camp mightily, and started heading towards Ye Kongchan's camp.  Although this journey was carried out quietly, they all left through the gate of the camp, so the news was not particularly confidential, and it was easy to be discovered.

    When the army was on its way, the sentries arranged by Ye Kongchan along the way had already discovered it, and sent back the news quickly, so that Ye Kongchan could respond and prepare for defense early.

    This was actually within the expectation of Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan.

    If the two of them really wanted to keep a secret, they would not have dispatched troops at the gate of the camp, but left the camp quietly so as not to alert the sentries.  However, the focus of this battle is not the night attack, but the use of gunpowder to attack.

    Even if Ye Kongchan had made preparations early, the impact would not be great.  The army hurried on their way, and within a short time, they were already approaching Ye Kongchan's camp.

    The army stopped a hundred paces away from the camp.

    Under the night, the torches in the camp burned, dispelling the darkness in the camp.  In this case, looking out from inside the camp, you can't see far, after all, it's already night.

    At this moment, Ye Kongchan was already waiting in the camp, and there were many generals beside him.

    Everyone is ready.

    "Boom! Boom!!!"

    The sound of war drums suddenly came from outside the camp.

    The drumbeat was rapid, as if it was an order to launch an attack.  When the war drums sounded, Ye Kongchan stood up quickly, looked around at the generals in the army, and said in a deep voice: "I got the news from the sentry before that Du Qi's army came quietly. Now, it can be regarded as an initiation."  Attack. Everyone, follow me to fight."

    He went straight out.

    The rest of the generals also walked out with high spirits.  If they take the initiative to attack, or even fight Du Qi's army head-on, it will be very difficult for them to win, without any certainty.

    But right now, they are defending with all their strength, and they are well prepared, so each of them still has full confidence in their hearts.  A group of people came out, and the soldiers had already received the order, so they quickly assembled at the gate of the camp.

    The formation of tens of thousands of troops is extremely shocking.

    The soldiers are even more high-spirited.

    When Ye Kongchan arrived at the gate of the camp, he looked outside the camp. Although the sound of war drums sounded outside, he did not see half of the attacking Du Qi soldiers.

    This is surprising.

    Ye Kongchan frowned suddenly, after thinking about it, he felt relieved.  It seems that although Du Qi's army is ambushing outside, they are not planning to attack for the time being. They want to use this to kill his morale before attacking.

    A hundred paces away from the camp, in the dark.

    Xue Rengui rode his horse and stood up.

    He saw the army gathered in the camp, saw the generals in armor, and also saw Ye Kongchan in the center.  Although the distance of a hundred steps is a bit far, the fire in the camp is burning, so that Xue Rengui can clearly see everything in the camp.

    If Ye Kongchan is not protected by soldiers, he can shoot Ye Kongchan with a bow and arrow at a distance of a hundred steps.  But there were soldiers all around, so it was almost impossible to kill Ye Kongchan with cold arrows.

    Xue Rengui waved his hand, and the soldiers in charge of beating the drum stopped.  The originally rumbling restless sound suddenly stopped, and the surroundings became quiet all of a sudden, silent.

    In the silence, there is a murderous intent.

    Xue Rengui was not in a hurry. He was still looking at the Kucha soldiers gathered in the camp, while waiting for the catapults to be assembled one by one, and then adjusted the angle and distance to facilitate the placement of gunpowder for attack.

    This is Xue Rengui's intention.

    It takes time to prepare.

    Previously, Yi Fusheng's suggestion was to attack directly with gunpowder, bombing Ye Kongchan's camp, breaking Ye Kongchan's defense, and then the two armies fought.  However, Xue Rengui made an adjustment, changing the order of the first and last, so that Ye Kongchan's army gathered at the gate of the camp by beating the drum first.  Once everyone gathers together and the gunpowder falls and explodes in the crowd, there will inevitably be countless casualties.

    This is the effect of bombing.

    ? Xue Rengui did not speak, but Ye Kongchan sneered twice, and ordered the crossbows beside himhands ready.  Once he speaks, Xue Rengui is attracted to reply, as long as Xue Rengui speaks, the crossbowman will shoot in the direction.

    After Ye Kongchan made the arrangements, he shouted: "Xue Rengui, I am Ye Kongchan, the captain of the Kucha Kingdom. I know that you led the troops into the Kucha Kingdom, and I also received the news from the sentry earlier.  , I know that you have already brought the army to kill. You led the army to ambush outside, intending to drain my morale with the drums first.  Then attack directly."

    Xue Rengui did not speak.

    Whenever he speaks, he reveals his position.  Especially since he was only a hundred steps away from the camp.  Once Ye Kongchan shoots cold arrows densely, he will be able to pose a threat to Xue Rengui at that time.

    Outside the camp, it was still quiet.

    Ye Kongchan frowned.

    His plan was to draw Xue Rengui out by talking, and then shoot Xue Rengui, but he didn't expect Xue Rengui not to talk to him at all.

    Ye Kongchan snorted and continued: "Xue Rengui, aren't you a general under Du Qi's command? Ye Hu's 70,000 troops were killed by Du Qi. You Xue Rengui, as Du Qi's man, brought the army here  Outside the Taiwei's camp, he intended to launch an attack. However, he didn't dare to show his face, and he didn't even dare to say a word. It can be seen that you, Xue Rengui, are not worthy of your name, you are a shrinking turtle! I don't know when Du Qi destroyed Tong Yehu  How did you win?"

    He was aggressive on purpose.

    It is to target Xue Rengui.

    Unfortunately, Xue Rengui was not affected at all.  Although Xue Rengui is young, he has participated in all previous fights, has rich combat experience, and has very sophisticated combat experience, so he knows Ye Kongchan's purpose.

    He still waited quietly.

    Let Ye Kongchan provoke.

    After Ye Kongchan talked a lot, it didn't have the slightest influence.  He suddenly made up his mind, and ordered the soldiers to shout Xue Rengui, and with the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers, the voice echoed in the night sky for a long time.

    Xue Rengui was still unmoved when he heard the hand.

    However, the soldiers in the army were enraged, and each of them clenched their fists and glared.  Even if Xue Rengui hadn't given the order, they would have already led their troops out.

    "Step! Step!"

    There was a slight sound of footsteps, but it was a schoolboy who came to Xue Rengui's side.

    The small school reported: "General Xue, all the catapults have been debugged. And all the soldiers responsible for the gunpowder packs are already in place. Everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

    "Light it up!"

    Xue Rengui gave the order.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
