Chapter 232 Night Attack(1/3)
When you are ugly.
Liaodong City was completely silent, but it gave people an inexplicable chill, as if a ferocious beast could explode and hurt people at any time.
The red candles danced, illuminating the hall and reflecting the excited expressions of the soldiers. Each one of them looked at their superior Qin Huaidao feverishly, gearing up and wishing they could fight immediately.
Qin Huaidao was excited when he saw that his army was ready. If he could win this battle, the enemy troops outside the city would have no worries, and the situation would change drastically. If he lost, the whole army might be wiped out. It can be said to be a big gamble, one that can only be won but not lost.
Looking around with sharp eyes, he landed on Li Yixie.
Li Yihui stepped forward with interest: "General, according to observation, there is no large-scale movement of torches in the enemy's formation, and there is no abnormality. Of course, it may be too far away to see clearly, and the enemy has made arrangements secretly."
"The army is mobilized at night, and torches are a necessity. As long as you don't see large-scale movement of torches, it means there is no big problem. If Zhu Huchen is really willing to surrender and has already left with his troops, the King of Goguryeo will be short of 10,000 people, plus there are countless wounded.
Morale is low. I'm afraid the troops will retreat early tomorrow morning. We must not let them escape. We must take action tonight." Qin Huaidao's tone was firm, revealing an inexplicable murderous intention.
Everyone nodded, their eyes becoming more and more fanatical.
Qin Huaidao saw that morale was available and warned: "If anything unusual is discovered, quickly evacuate back to the city. Don't be reluctant to fight. Preserve your strength first. If the matter can be done, strangle me at all costs. Who has a problem?"
"No!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Okay, let's fight!" Qin Huaidao raised his fist and waved it resolutely and powerfully, as if he wanted to smash the enemies outside the city into pieces.
The generals accepted the order with a bang, strode out of the hall, and went straight to their respective posts.
Qin Huaidao was also wearing chain mail, and carried the double knives on the desk behind his back. He checked the dog-legged knife tied to the outside of his thigh, picked up the stainless steel horse and walked out of the hall, got on his horse, and said specially to Li Yixie.
A team of Yulin Guards said: "Everyone, tonight's battle is going to be a disaster, but there will be a lot of misfortune. Do you have any complaints?"
"Back to General, brothers have been prepared to die in battle. They will fight for the Tang Dynasty without any regrets." Dui Zheng said quickly.
"Well done. As expected of me, the Yulin Guards of the Tang Dynasty. I am a personal soldier of the Holy Lord. However, I hope that you all will live well. Remember, when we fight together, you must follow me and use the crossbow to cover and shoot.
, Don’t stand in front of this general and get in the way.” Qin Huaidao solemnly warned.
The pro-soldiers have the responsibility to protect the general. If the general dies in battle, the pro-soldiers will be severely punished, for example, they will protect him to the death.
Qin Huaidao didn't like to be protected by others, as it would affect the performance of his combat power. This Yulin Guard had seen Qin Huaidao's combat power, and knew that what he said was true, so they nodded and did not insist.
"Set off!"
Qin Huaidao rode forward, and the Yulin guards mounted their horses to follow.
After walking out of the city lord's mansion, An Guogong was waiting at the gate, clasping his fists and saying, "General, take care!"
"You too, there must be no chaos in Liaodong City, and heavy rules will be used when necessary." Qin Huaidao warned.
Zhi lost his mind and understood the idea, and promised: "Don't worry, there are a thousand people to help, who dares not to open his eyes, I can still lift the sword, even if I die, I will protect Liaodong City and wait for the general's return."
"Thank you." Qin Huaidao cupped his hands and galloped forward.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the west gate, just in time to catch up with Captain Chi Baolin and the imperial army quietly leaving the city. When he stepped forward, Yu Chi Baolin was shocked and asked: "General, what are you doing?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Don't let anyone know that this general is also leaving the city, otherwise the city may be unstable." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice, riding at the front.
Only then did Yuchi Baolin react. When he thought of Qin Huaidao's presence, his confidence greatly increased. He quickly sent someone to give the order. The team accelerated out of the city and marched according to the planned route. The horses' hooves were wrapped in hay and cloth to avoid making too much noise and exposing the officers and soldiers when they were not close.
They also wore white cloths around their necks and covered their mouths to prevent shouting to a certain extent.
The team walked slowly under the hazy moonlight. Qin Huaidao walked at the front, his eyes steady, staring ahead with a keen insight into everything. It is fake to not be anxious in his heart. If there is a conspiracy, the consequences are unimaginable, but if it succeeds, the benefits will be there.
It's also hard to imagine.
While walking, Qin Huaidao vaguely saw the patrolling enemy troops, saw the flags hunting in the wind, and saw the beating bonfire licking the night. Everything was normal and the silence was reassuring, but who can be sure of the calmness behind it?
Does it contain a storm?
We are only a thousand meters away from the enemy's formation. If we charge at this distance, our horses will be at full speed when we reach the enemy's formation. If we charge later, we will not be able to get up immediately.
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Qin Huaidao looked at the calm formation in front and immediately looked at Yuchi Baolin. Yuchi Baolin nodded knowingly and immediately raised his hand. This was the pre-arranged attack signal. The soldiers took out their repeating crossbows and made
Prepare for battle.
After a moment, Yuchi Baolin pointed forward with his big hand.
"drive--"
The officers and soldiers who had been silent all shouted and slapped their horses with their weapons, and the peaceful night was instantly broken.
Qin Huaidao also rode forward, lowering his body. Behind him were the Yuchi Baolin brothers and Yu Linwei. When other officers and soldiers saw Qin Huaidao leading the charge forward, they suddenly became brave and fought hard to catch up, fearing that they would fall behind.
The war horses speed up together, and the sound of horse hooves becomes louder and denser, shaking the wilderness.
When the enemy troops in the large formation in front heard the sound of horse hooves, they all came out of the camp to check, pulled out their swords, and asked each other about the situation. Qin Huaidao then saw clearly the light of the bonfire in the large formation, and confirmed that the enemy was not pretending. He put down his heart and shouted: "Everyone
You will obey my order and kill with me!"
"kill!"
Countless people stood up, shouted, and raised their repeating crossbows.
Two thousand war horses swept over like a hurricane. Qin Huaidao rushed at the front. The stainless steel horse pole stretched out suddenly and flew away a horse-rejecting stake blocking the front. He rode forward and rushed forward. Yuchi Baolin also flew one away and followed closely.
Qin Huaidao shouted from behind: "Follow closely and kill!"
The Habayashi Guards rushed forward, and the team leader also flew a horse-repelling stake, widening the gap. The soldiers rushed in swarm and started shooting at the front.
Suddenly, the arrows flew over like locusts, overwhelming the sky and falling into the enemy group, screaming loudly.
Qin Huaidao galloped forward with his horse, and flew a large pot with his horse's spear. The hot water was boiling in the pot, and the water extinguished the bonfire below. The surrounding area suddenly became much darker. Qin Huaidao did not stop, and rushed over with his horse's spear.
The snake, like a dragon, stabbed the person standing in front of it, and with a sharp swing, chopped off the torch fixed on a tent.
"Extinguishing!"
A roar spread like thunder.
The soldiers reacted, quickly dispersed, went straight to the burning torches around them, picked them up and threw them at the enemies, scaring the enemies to avoid them. The bonfire fell to the ground, and the light could not be far away. Those who had no chance to hold the torches used repeating crossbows.
Shoot visible enemies to cause chaos.
The enemy was caught off guard and could not stop them at all. Two thousand men and horses followed Qin Huaidao and rushed into the formation. They were like a tornado, with corpses all over the ground. There were many fewer torches for lighting, and the visibility dropped sharply. The enemy in the distance was
The army could not see the real situation and did not dare to send troops to help rashly.
Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi each led a thousand men and rushed in from both sides to expand the victory and prevent the enemy from rolling back the golden hook.
"Who is coming?"
A general from the enemy army suddenly rushed out, roaring and slashing at the horse's legs with his sword.
"Herod!"
The white-hoofed Wu Youling screamed and stood up to avoid the fatal knife. After landing, he rushed up and kicked the opponent's chest with a horse's hoof, kicking him away. Qin Huaidao's horse followed closely, almost at the same time.
Pierce the opponent's body, throw the body out with all your strength, and knock down several enemy soldiers.
"Well done, let's fight side by side tonight and kill happily, hahaha!" Qin Huaidao touched the white-hoofed black neck to encourage him. His fighting spirit skyrocketed. With this, he could channel the war horse. What else should he be afraid of?
The war horse seemed to understand Qin Huaidao's thoughts. He shouted excitedly and suddenly accelerated forward. Qin Huaidao only had to lift the horse's shaft and adjust the direction. He did not need to use force at all. The horse's shaft caught the momentum of the war horse and moved forward, easily tearing open a
An enemy soldier's neck.
The war horse is so fast that no one can avoid it.
"Puff puff!"
There was the sound of metal cutting through flesh, blood splattered, and screams continued.
Yuchi Baolin saw it clearly. He didn't expect to be able to kill enemies like this. It was a magic weapon for rushing into battle. He also learned to raise the horse's horse and let the horse rush forward without using any moves. He only needed to aim at the enemy's neck.
A horse's stem can be long or short, up and down depending on the heart, and no one can avoid it.
At this moment, the two of them rushed forward like plowing a hole in a courtyard, picking up the corpses on the ground. The Yulin Guards followed closely behind the two of them and did not put out the fire. They kept in mind Qin Huaidao's instructions before leaving and kept shooting those who were blocking the way.
Enemies, especially archers trying to attack with cold arrows.
Fifty Yulin Guards and fifty repeating crossbows, once the firepower is fully activated, the lethality is astonishing.
Two thousand cavalrymen, under the command of Yuchi Baoqi, extinguished fire when they saw it, and killed people when they saw it. They had powerful weapons such as serial crossbows, and their firepower output was uninterrupted. The incident happened suddenly, and the enemy was stunned. Who could stop them?
Cries of killing and screams resounded through the night sky.
Two thousand people are like two thousand seducers emerging from hell, killing and reaching the sky!
"Who dares to charge into battle!"
There was a loud roar, and then a big man came out of the tent. He was disheveled and had obviously just woken up. He was holding a big knife in his hand. When he saw Qin Huaidao, he rushed over.
Qin Huaidao rushed forward without showing any signs of weakness, stabbing fiercely with his horse's spear, moving as fast as a shadow like the wind, and transformed into a spear flower in front of the enemy general, with a sharp cold light and murderous intent like frost.
The enemy general was shocked. He was frightened by this terrible attack method. His body exploded. A arrow flew up and sank into the opponent's abdomen like a meteor. The opponent's body froze. Qin Huaidao rushed forward and slashed with his horse.
A ray of white light struck down, which was particularly eye-catching in the night with extremely poor visibility.
"Pfft!"
Ma Shan's sharp blade struck the opponent's neck. Qin Huaidao followed the trend and pulled out a deep wound. The opponent collapsed to the ground, lifeless on the spot. Qin Huaidao did not even look at the opponent and continued to rush forward, raising his head.
Looking ahead, he saw that he was not very far away from the Chinese army's tent. He cheered up and shouted: "Rush forward, capture the King of Goguryeo alive, and kill him -"
"Kill!"
The soldiers roared in unison and started killing like crazy. When they heard that the King of Goguryeo was captured alive, their morale soared. They struck faster, more accurately, and more severely. Their violent murderous intent shot straight into the night sky, as if they wanted to tear the night apart.
