Chapter 320 Timing
"Captain, why don't we attack them at night and catch them off guard?"

Huo Qubing was young and energetic, and he couldn't help but feel eager to try it out after hearing this.

"Night battles are not favorable to us. Besides, we are new here and are not familiar with the terrain. I think we should proceed cautiously and wait for the right opportunity."

Ran Min, with a double-edged spear and a hook-handed halberd next to him, shook his head.

"Ran Min is right."

"We don't have many Yulin troops in this operation, so we must achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost."

"So we need to wait patiently for the opportunity, and once the time is right, we will deal a fatal blow to the enemy."

Wei Qing looked at the Yulin soldiers who were resting nearby and nodded.

After the three of them had made their decision, they returned to their camps to rest.

In the darkness of night, the camp of the Yulin Army was quiet, with only patrolling soldiers moving back and forth in the night.

The next morning, the Yulin Army broke camp and set off, continuing to advance towards Minglong Pass.

As they moved forward, a murderous atmosphere gradually spread among the team.

With iron hooves thundering and flags fluttering, the Yulin Army marched forward like a giant dragon.

When the Night King and the Night Demon army led by Zhao Fengyun marched towards Minglong Pass, another silent battle had quietly unfolded on the land of Hengzhou.

Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng also led 60,000 elite soldiers, like a sharp sword, silently penetrated into the heart of Hengzhou.

It directly targets several important grain and fodder areas in Xujing County in the north of Hengzhou.

In the darkness of night, the 10,000 iron cavalry of the Night Demon Army led by Gongsun Yang rushed across the land of Hengzhou like a black torrent.

Their movements were swift and stealthy, like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace.

Yan Qifeng led another 50,000 elite Night Demon troops to encircle the enemy from the other side, forming a pincer attack between the two armies.

Hengzhou is an important grain and fodder base. Originally, it was thought that no one would dare to offend when the Night King's army was marching towards Minglong Pass.

However, Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng chose this time to launch the attack.

Their appearance was like a sudden storm, breaking the tranquility of Hengzhou.

When Gongsun Yang's army pounced on the first important grain and forage base like a tiger descending from a mountain, the defenders had no time to react.

He was caught off guard by this sudden attack and could only respond hastily.

However, the Night Evil Cavalry led by Gongsun Yang had been fighting against the foreign tribes on the grassland for many years.

The army was well-trained and coordinated well. They quickly broke through the defenders' defenses and occupied the first important grain and forage area.

At the same time, Yan Qifeng also led her troops to successfully capture another important grain and grass base.

After the two armies joined forces, they did not stop, but continued to move towards the next target.

The defenders of Xujing County north of Hengzhou were completely disrupted.

They couldn't understand why the Night Fury army would launch an attack at this time, let alone why their actions were so swift and precise.

As the night deepened and the stars twinkled, Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng sat around a campfire in a temporary camp in Hengzhou, discussing the recent war.

Gongsun Yang picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and felt the sweetness and warmth of the tea.

"General Yan, this march went a lot more smoothly, and you have made an indelible contribution."

He looked up at Yan Qifeng, with a hint of admiration and respect in his eyes.

"General Gongsun is too praised."

"This time, we were able to capture several important grain and grass sites in Xujing County in succession, all thanks to the bravery of our soldiers and the might of General Gongsun."

Yan Qifeng smiled slightly, and the firelight reflected on her face, making her look particularly soft.

"No, no, if it weren't for General Yan's wisdom and courage, how could we have won so easily?"

Gongsun Yang waved his hand.

"In fact, the key to this victory lies in our accurate grasp of the battle situation."

"Hengzhou has Yuzhou as a barrier in the north, and Cangzhou and Yunzhou as support in the east."

"Hengzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and its military preparations have been relaxed. The Daqian Dynasty has also dispatched most of its elite troops to Luzhou and Yanzhou to quell the rebellion."

"Therefore, there are not many troops capable of fighting in the territory, so we can take advantage of the situation and capture several important food and fodder areas in one fell swoop."

Yan Qifeng shook his head and said seriously, "General Yan is absolutely right. In this battle, we not only took advantage of the timing, but also seized the opportunity."

"Now that most of Xujing County in Hengzhou has fallen into our hands, what should we do next?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Yang nodded with deep emotion.

"In my opinion, we should strike while the iron is hot and continue to expand our victory."

"Now that most of Xujing County has been lost, the remaining defenders must be in a state of panic."

"We can take this opportunity to launch a general offensive and capture the many strategic locations around Xujing County in one fell swoop!"

Yan Qifeng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Very good, then let's do as General Yan says."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will continue our attack and make sure to capture more areas of Hengzhou as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Gongsun Yang's eyes flashed with a gleam.

The two smiled at each other and drank together.

In the light of the fire, their faces looked particularly firm and confident.

As the night deepened, the fire in the camp gradually dimmed.

But the fire in Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng's hearts burned brighter and brighter.

The night is like water and the moonlight is like a mirror.

At the same time, on the desolate plains of Hengzhou, the Yulin Army, like a stream of iron, arrived silently not far from where Gongsun Yang's detachment was stationed.

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Ran Min rode together in the front, their eyes fixed on the Night Demon camp ahead.

"Look at the layout of this camp. It is strict and orderly, with both offensive and defensive capabilities."

"This detachment of the Night Evil Army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they also used their military skills like a god when they captured the granary. There must be a master among them."

Wei Qing was dressed in military uniform and had a calm expression. He looked at the enemy camp from afar, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Master? I want to see how great this master is."

"Since they are so brave, we might as well give them a big gift."

Huo Qubing was young and energetic, and he sneered when he heard this.

"Oh? What do you think of Qubing?"

Ran Min raised his eyebrows and asked in a rough voice.

Ran Min is closer to a military general, and he can't get along with Wei Qing, who is not even close to him.

On the contrary, a young and energetic person like Huo Qubing is more to his liking.

"The moonlight is hazy tonight, it's a good time for a surprise attack."

"Why don't we take advantage of their unpreparedness and catch them off guard?"

Huo Qubing raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and said excitedly.

Now that he has left Cangzhou, the commander-in-chief in the army is his uncle.

Isn’t it true that the sky is high and the birds can fly freely, and the sea is wide and the fish can jump freely!
"The proposal to cure the disease is bold, but it is not without reason."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"The Night Furies have been invincible for days, so there must be a sense of arrogance among the troops."

"A surprise attack at this time might have a miraculous effect."

But on second thought, it is not without basis.

"General Wei is absolutely right!"

"They are letting their guard down now, and that is the time for us to strike."

"I will prepare it right away!"

Ran Min slapped his thigh and agreed.

For a military general like him, fighting a war is the best diversion.
