Chapter 1204 Raid in the Night(1/2)
People have titles, and horses have hoofs wrapped around them.
Under night, the line of sight is blocked, there are too many troops, and collisions are easy to occur, so the marching speed is not fast.
The tens of thousands of troops actually made only a small sound, marching towards the enemy like ghosts in the night.
They are all very familiar with the terrain here. They have made detailed plans in advance to evacuate quickly after killing the enemy in a surprise attack.
Try your best to injure the enemy without damaging it, and don't make any rash advances.
The war has just begun, and it will not end with this battle.
After Bai Shaoyuan led his army to attack, the remaining generals immediately gave the order.
"Send the order, the entire army is on alert and ready for defense!"
The consequence of taking the initiative to attack is that the war will be advanced. Then the enemy will become angry and will inevitably launch an attack. In this case, preparations must be made in advance.
Every step is calculated.
Time passed little by little, and it didn't take long for us to be close to the border, and we could even see the enemy camp on the other side of the border.
Under the night, the enemy camp's torches were swaying and silent.
The last moment of ugliness is the time of deep sleep.
The entire enemy camp was quiet, with occasional snores heard one after another.
The sentry had long been dozing off in an unknown corner, and the weather was still a bit colder in the first month of the year.
From top to bottom, Liang Jun never thought that Daning would take the initiative to attack, so naturally they would not be vigilant.
But just at this moment, the enemy attacked!
This enemy camp is to the west and is within the garrison range of the border guard.
The Border Guard Army is a newly established army, composed mostly of new recruits and a small number of former local garrison troops.
This raid was very targeted and happened to avoid the main camp of Liang Army and the location of the Zhenbian Army.
Pick out the persimmons that are soft!
At this time, Bai Shaoyuan and his army were approaching.
The light of the enemy camp in the distance is the guiding light and the direction in which they want to attack!
Moving forward, such a large army will inevitably be discovered, so there is no need to hide anymore!
Bai Shaoyuan pulled out his weapon. It was a long sword. It was ground on four sides and made of hundreds of steel!
He held the sword in one hand, shook the reins lightly with the other hand, and the horse that had already joined him sat down and galloped up!
Take the lead!
This is the signal to charge!
Afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army drove their horses one after another, and the speed further increased!
Even though the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, the noise caused by the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry was still quite loud.
The ground trembled slightly.
At the border line, the Liang Jun sentry who was taking a nap while leaning on the wooden fence of the sentry post was immediately awakened.
He subconsciously looked for the sound and saw dark shadows swaying in a daze.
What's this?
He rubbed his eyes.
The familiar sound of horse hooves combined with the trembling movement of the earth, this is...cavalry!
Where did the cavalry come from?
This is... an enemy attack!
The sentry woke up instantly and lost all sleep!
"Whoosh!"
He was about to beat the gong and shout, when an arrow shot straight at him and went straight into his chest, but he still couldn't scream.
An arrow was shot, and Bai Shaoyuan immediately took another arrow and pointed it at a sentry.
The sentry post is at a high place and is illuminated by torches. It is very conspicuous in this night, so you can naturally see clearly.
Mounted archery is an essential skill for an elite cavalry.
Bai Shaoyuan naturally knows this well.
Shoot three arrows in a row, killing three sentinels, and the general behind them also draws the bow and shoots arrows.
We have crossed the border and are close to the enemy camp.
There were densely packed sentries, and the dozing sentries were awakened by such movement.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
In the night, sharp shouts spread throughout the enemy camp, but it was already too late!
Bai Shaoyuan has led the army to attack!
At the edge of the enemy camp, there were several Liang soldiers with frightened expressions. They didn't realize it for a moment, but they got closer. Only by the light of the camp's torch did they realize how huge the enemy army was.
But soon they lost consciousness.
It had been directly knocked away by the galloping war horse, and was trampled into pieces of meat...
Bai Shaoyuan lowered his waist, stretched out his hand, and raised a torch.
"kill!"
He shouted.
This is to lead the rear army.
But when we arrived at the camp, there were torches everywhere, and this light was enough.
Later, the Zhenbei Army followed and rushed in directly.
Bai Shaoyuan continued to move forward and saw a tent. He threw the torch out with all his strength.
"boom!"
The moment the torch touches the tent, the tent is directly ignited.
The movement is even louder!
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
Liang Bing was awakened from his deep sleep. They didn't even bother to put on their helmets or even dress and ran out of the camp.
But what greeted them was cold swords!
"Whoosh!"
Bai Shaoyuan waved his four-sided sword lightly, and a stream of blood immediately spattered out, and Liang Bing fell to the ground.
He was confused.
I thought I was still in a dream.
He was recruited, went through military training, and died like this before he actually went to the battlefield?
Yes!
He is dead!
And there are many people like him!
The silence of the enemy camp was broken, followed by the sounds of chaos and screams.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Gather quickly!"
"Assemble!"
Screams rang out everywhere, and more soldiers ran out in panic. At this time, tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops had all entered!
However, it did not rush directly, but spread to both sides.
The enemy camps are densely connected. If you rush in directly, you are likely to be trapped deep inside. Killing on the periphery is the most suitable.
Liang Jun was attacked and found it difficult to organize his troops within a short period of time. He could only end up in death if he ran out in a hurry...
Although these recruits have been rigorously trained by Zhu Zhen, their ability to deal with emergencies is too weak and they have never experienced such a battle.
And under night, the impact is even greater.
To be continued...
