Chapter 109 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
"There is an enemy! There is an enemy attacking the camp!"
As soon as the vigil soldier in the distance shouted, Zhang Mo sat up from the ground covered with sheep felt.
Thanks to the snoring in the tent that was comparable to the symphony of daytime, she did not fall asleep. She kicked Xu Chu awake next to him, who was snoring loudly. She shouted, "Wake up, wake up, there is an enemy attack on the camp."
!”
"Attack the camp?"
Everyone who was sleeping soundly opened their eyes in a daze, but when they saw the light of fire appearing outside the tent, they lost all sleep for a while.
Everyone rolled up from the ground in a panic, putting on armor and holding weapons. One soldier even forgot to put on his shoes and rushed out to defend the enemy.
"Stop! Don't panic!"
Zhang Mo shouted, "The enemy should have climbed in from the city wall. There won't be many of them. Don't panic. Follow your usual drills."
The reason why the success rate of night attacks is high is not because of how many enemy soldiers are killed, but because of the sudden attack and the inability to judge the enemy's situation at night, which causes extreme panic to the target of the attack, making them overwhelmed and confused. Professional
The term is called bombing camp or camp roar.
The scary thing about a night attack is not the enemy, but the chaos among your own people first. If it is a camp with tens of thousands of troops, many times it will even happen that your own people beat your own people.
Zhang Mo usually has very high demands on the soldiers in the village. Not only do they have martial arts skills and formation drills, but they also conduct many drills in various situations. The top priority of the drills is to make the soldiers remain calm in the face of danger and obey orders.
Having just been woken up, everyone's panic was just a conditioned reflex. Under Zhang Mo's scolding, everyone quickly calmed down and finished dressing up in a few breaths.
"Ah Chu, Ah Fei, you go and have a look at the other tents."
The two hurried out. In a short while, rockets fell from the sky above the camp. There were a few rockets at first, the enemy must be testing the distance, and then they fell like a meteor shower, and the roof of the tent quickly caught fire.
The snow stopped yesterday afternoon, and the snow on the roof of the tent was blown clean by the wind, which gave the enemy the conditions to set fire to it.
"Quickly, fold all the felt blankets into two layers and soak them."
A few buckets of water were placed in each tent to guard against enemy fire attacks at night.
Everyone rushed out carrying the soaked felt. There were longbowmen outside, drawing their bows and shooting. However, they could not see the enemy clearly in the dark, and their accuracy was not guaranteed at all. After several rounds of shooting, they only heard one or two screams from the opposite side, and
Because the burning tent in my house was illuminated, each figure became a living target for the enemy. Even though there was a blanket to block it, a few were accidentally shot.
"Don't waste arrows!"
Zhang Mo said, "Those with armor should pick up their shields, mount their horses, and rush over to kill them. The others should leave the camp."
It was impossible for the barbarians to get all the horses in. The cavalry could be reached within a moment with an arrow, so it was not difficult to chase down those night attackers.
Five miles away from the pass, Bu Dugen estimated that the fire inside was almost done. He looked at the pale east side and stepped onto the horse path. "There should be enough time. While the horse thieves are in chaos at this time, warriors, light up."
Go in with torches and chop those people into pieces."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After the loud shouts of killing were heard, torches were lit, and a huge winding fire dragon appeared outside the dark pass. Accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves, the fire dragon began to move towards the pass.
As soon as they lit the fire, the soldiers on the city wall saw and reported to Zhang Mo.
Hu people are not afraid of skating anymore?
This was Zhang Mo's first reaction. Then, her expression suddenly changed and she said to a soldier, "Go and see if the pass ice road has been destroyed?"
"Others, line up and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
The soldiers who went to the pass to check soon came back and said, "The ice path was covered with weeds and other materials, and it was frozen."
When the night attack first started, everyone's attention was focused on the attackers, including the soldiers on guard on the city wall. No one noticed that a group of men in black carrying large packages slipped against the wall to the pass.
"Too careless!"
The enemy is indeed not that stupid. The barbarians' attack tonight is just to attract their attention. Their main purpose is to destroy the ice road. Although there are several rows of wooden stakes blocking the ice road, there are still more than 6,000 enemies.
If the general is determined to destroy them, it will be a tough battle.
The barbarians poured in one after another. After the longbowmen fired more than a dozen rounds, all their arrows were exhausted. They could only use the stones they had brought up on the city wall last night to smash them under the pass. The wooden stakes were attacking the barbarians in waves.
It was also destroyed under the desperate impact, leaving more than 200 barbarian lives behind.
There were so many casualties at the beginning of the battle, and the Hu cavalry behind them were already a little timid, but Bu Dugen did not order a retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and continue charging in.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the two sides began to fight head-on. Xu Chu and Zhang Fan led the swordsmen to rush into the barbarian team and cut them down indiscriminately. The pass road was almost full of human and horse corpses, and the first thousand barbarians rushed in.
Part of the vanguard team died on the wooden stakes, and most of the rest were hacked to death by the Golden Eagle Guards.
Zhang Mo also has more than 700 Golden Eagle Guards and 400 auxiliary soldiers. Due to the narrow pass, as long as he kills fast enough, the advantage of the Hu people in large numbers can be slightly offset.
Outside the pass, Bu Dugen, who was following the team, found that the number of horse thieves was completely different from what Muyetti said, and he was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, "Your mother, there are clearly more than a thousand horse thieves, you told me that there are only three or four hundred?"
"
The loss of more than 500 people yesterday was due to carelessness. Today, more than 1,000 people were lost at the beginning. However, they were deceived by these two people and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.
Muyetti frowned and said, "Maybe they have reinforcements arriving again. It's really not my fault. I know how to build buildings."
Gai Loufang quickly agreed, "Yes, reinforcements must have arrived again. We really didn't lie to you."
Afraid that Bu Dugen wouldn't believe it, he added, "This group of people got lost in the grassland a few days ago, and someone came to rescue them before they came out. There are many bandits in the Taihang Black Mountains, and now they have entered the Han Dynasty, and someone came to rescue them.
It’s not surprising either.”
Bu Dugen was dubious, his anger subsided for a moment, and the soldiers whose lives were temporarily blocked outside continued to rush in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has killed so many people, and if he returns without success, his face and prestige will be completely lost.
Facing the desperate enemy, some of the auxiliary soldiers began to show fear, especially those brought by Zhang Mo to support him.
It is the nature of moth thieves to run away if they can't be beaten. Except for a small number of these people who followed Zhang Mo to fight for justice once, the rest of them usually followed the former Qu Shuai to rob houses and make small troubles. Even if they did it with Zhang Yan
The big vote means that my family has the numerical advantage, but today we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, so everyone is inevitably timid.
Even Zhang Mo himself, looking at the barbarians pouring in like a flood, his legs on the horse were trembling. At this moment, any righteousness to drive away the barbarians and protect the Han territory, go to hell!
She swallowed dryly and clenched the hilt of the knife in her hand. Seeing the devil, her rationality told her that she must not escape at this time. Once she fled, she would be pursued by the barbarians with their superb riding skills, and the result could be imagined.
The only option is to kill until they are afraid! A man acting as a Wuhu is not just a boast!
"Men of the Han family, show your courage and kill the Hugo! Kill!" Xu Chu yelled.
The Golden Eagle Guards all shouted, "Kill the Hugo! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill the wild dog! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
More and more people started shouting!
This group of people had been running rampant on the grassland for more than half a year. In addition to developing courage and blood, their riding skills had also improved a lot. In their eyes, these thousands of barbarians really had nothing to fear.
On the battlefield of cold weapons, courage is sometimes more important than skill. The weak is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of life. As long as you put it all in, your original eight-point ability can be fully effective, or even higher.
A soldier wiped the blood on his face and laughed: "Without the boss, I would have died by the Mianshui River a year ago. For more than half a year, I have had meat to eat every day, and I have been allowed to play with Hu Ji. It is worth dying."
Already."
As he spoke, he stabbed a Hu man in the chest with a gun, and warm blood spattered on his face again.
When Xu Chu heard this, he burst into laughter. These people had been brought into the grassland by him for more than half a year, and they had already suppressed their emotions. They could not bully Han women, and Hu Ji could not let them vent their anger.
Thinking of the naked Hu girl who was stuffed into his tent in the middle of the night, Xu Chuhei's face turned red. It turned out that a woman's body is completely different from a man's.
In the distance, Bu Dugen watched as his own people were chopped down to the ground one after another, and his brows were so frowned that he could pinch a fly to death. The fighting power of these horse thieves was much stronger than that of the border troops. The outcome of today's battle was still uncertain.
It can be known.
He came here to suppress thieves. If he was defeated by thieves in the end, it would be really embarrassing and humiliating.
His eyes fell on the thin little horse thief on the south side of the battlefield. He had been observing it for a long time. Although that man was also killing enemies, he was always surrounded by several soldiers guarding him. He was obviously the leader of the thief.
"Muyeti, build a building. You two will lead some warriors, go around the battlefield from the left and right sides, and go to the back to surround and kill the leader of the thieves. As soon as he dies, the thieves will be defeated."
"Yes!" Gai Lofang replied without hesitation. Today is his last chance for revenge. He will personally cut off the thief's head and use it as a drinking vessel.
