Amidst the sharp shouts, in the distance, Ling Du's subordinates were speeding up their horses.【】
Just one glance showed that the camp was completely unprepared.
Before the army set off from Zhenbeicheng, they had discussed the direction of this battle.
Competing in terms of strength is a bad idea, so Axibao resisted everyone's opinions and decided to use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
What is long?
The real Shegu people are all good hunters. Taking advantage of this advantage, Asibao decided to adopt a surprise attack.
The last time Lin Shu successfully raided the death camp, it was because a good hunter among the Shegu people touched the death camp sentry.
There are more good hunters under Ling Du and they are more powerful.
Therefore, he is full of confidence.
The torches in the camp were lit in a somewhat chaotic manner. This was spontaneous and there must be no fakeness.
The five thousand horses were just about to arrive at this moment. The sound of horse hooves was rapid and they were still some distance away from here.
God-given opportunity!
Ling Du grabbed the fence, exerted force with both arms, roared, and a row of fences was pulled up.
There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, Ling Fei jumped up, and when he landed, he happened to be sitting on the back of his own horse.
He took out his long knife and said, "Shegu!"
"Must win!"
Amid cheers, the Shegu cavalry followed him and rushed into the Northern Xinjiang Army camp.
Five thousand cavalry arrived under the leadership of Zhen Siwen.
"Rush over!"
The enemy army was in a state of chaos, but Zhen Siwen took the lead and charged forward without hesitation.
In the darkness, a steady stream of enemy troops rushed over and quickly intercepted Zhen Siwen's troops.
More enemy troops were blocked by the fence. Someone dismounted and put a rope on the fence. Several horses pulled the fence in the opposite direction.
"Must win!"
Amid cheers, Shegu people swarmed in.
"Assemble!"
In the middle of the camp, Yang Xuan appeared.
There were many torches, and the somewhat panicked soldiers saw Yang Xuan dressed in military uniform, followed by the accompanying civil and military officials. Although everyone was a little disheveled, they looked calm at least and quickly calmed down.
The Chinese army is gathering.
The soldiers on the edge of the camp were not so lucky.
"Assemble!"
The edge of the camp encountered the first wave of enemy raids.
From the team leader to the captain, they all spontaneously called for their troops to assemble.
But the enemy troops were too fast and rushed in before they could finish gathering.
Zhen Siwen led his troops to hold off at least ten thousand enemy troops, but the defensive area was too narrow, and the remaining enemy troops poured in from their side.
Groups of soldiers from the Northern Xinjiang Army spontaneously fought. They formed small teams and used their usual drills to cooperate with the enemy's cavalry.
The horses were all under centralized management, but the cavalry followed the infantry on foot without hesitation.
The hundreds of soldiers on the outermost edge of the camp are called shields when they camp - the most elite are in the core area, enjoying the best resting environment.
But at this moment, these soldiers, who were jokingly called shields by their colleagues, burst out with shocking fighting power.
They rushed towards the enemy one after another, one person fell down, and the second one got on top. Even if their bodies were penetrated by spears, they still refused to stop, seeking a chance to die with the enemy.
No one took advantage of the chaos to escape, or escaped, and all of them died in battle!
Hundreds of people blocked the enemy for a moment, and then were submerged by the horses' hooves and trampled to pieces.
But it was this moment that allowed the subsequent Northern Xinjiang Army to successfully assemble.
Thousands of infantry were arrayed in formation, and crossbowmen were in position.
"Fire the arrow!"
A hail of arrows fell into the enemy's ranks. The infantrymen held their long spears, inserted their tails into the ground, steadied their bodies, and stared at the enemy cavalry that was galloping towards them.
Amidst countless loud noises, the war horses fell and the spearmen were knocked away...
On the flank, the enemy troops arrived, and a sudden attack caused heavy casualties to the hastily assembled infantry.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army's Central Army still hasn't dispatched!"
A way that will make an enemy rejoice.
Ling Du raised his head and took a look, "Fight in!"
The Chinese army has not arrived for reinforcements, which can only mean that it is still in chaos.
This battle must be won!
Before leaving, Asibao said that once this battle was won, the north of Ningxing would be defeated. Later, Ningxing could not hold on. The best choice for the defeated Northern Xinjiang Army was to evacuate Ningxing and return to Ningxing.
Go to northern Xinjiang and wait for the arrival of Chang'an's army.
This is a best-case scenario.
But the reaction of the Northern Xinjiang Army was obviously beyond his expectation.
Too fast.
And the organizational ability is too strong.
Lingdu saw more than ten infantrymen running around in disorder. When a formation appeared in front of them, they followed the formation without hesitation and marched forward to meet the enemy in order.
These strict rules and flexible tactics are shocking.
Yang Xuan, you are really good!
Beiliao did not lose unfairly!
But, tonight I will end it all!
Lingdu killed one person and shouted: "Assault! Attack the Chinese army!"
"Dog thief!"
Zhen Siwen led his men to kill him from the side.
With just one blow of the knife, Zhen Siwen stumbled back into the crowd.
The difference in strength between the two sides is huge.
"Who else?"
Ling Du roared.
In this way, he is summoning the wild nature under his command.
"Who dares to fight?"
"Old man!"
A man rushed out from the middle of the Northern Xinjiang army. The iron rod in his hand whistled and blew up the head of a Shegu man.
A tall man came towards Lingdu.
Ling Du took the stick, the long knife shattered, the tiger's mouth cracked, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Zhen Siwen shouted: "Kill him!"
Ling Du retreated without hesitation.
At this time, cheers came from the right side. Ling Du took a look and saw that his subordinates had broken through the interception of the Northern Xinjiang Army and were charging deeper into the camp.
"good!"
Ling Du stepped back and observed the situation.
On the left, his men continued to advance, and the Northern Xinjiang Army in front of them seemed somewhat powerless.
The Northern Xinjiang Army on the front is quite brave, but it doesn't matter. After the breakthrough is achieved on the left and right wings, these Northern Xinjiang Army will become a lonely army.
The smile on his lips suddenly froze.
The sound of horse hooves came from ahead.
Groups of Northern Xinjiang cavalry were charging in the light of the fire, holding long spears or holding high swords.
Number of people·
I can't see clearly, I can only see the boundless.
The Northern Xinjiang Army's reaction was so fast that Lingdu almost despaired.
He shouted without hesitation: "Withdraw!"
Tonight he destroyed part of the Northern Xinjiang Army camp and killed at least thousands of enemies.
Although I also suffered some losses, it was enough.
"Evacuate!"
The Shegu people broke away from contact without hesitation and began to retreat.
During the retreat, Ling Du looked back.
A big flag came slowly, and under the big flag, a person could be vaguely seen.
The man pointed in their direction and shouted something loudly.
Immediately, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry chased them like crazy.
Even the darkness could not stop them.
"Walk!"
Ling Du sneered, thinking that if you want to catch up with us late at night, that is just an idiot's dream!
Before he could turn around, he heard his subordinates shouting: "Enemy attack!"
In the two directions to the left and right in front, flames shot into the sky.
In the light of the fire, countless Northern Xinjiang cavalry were galloping.
Ling Du felt cold in his heart. He knew that the Chinese army had not come to help before. It was not because of confusion, but because after Yang Xuan assembled the Chinese army, the first thing he did was not to reinforce, but to order them to leave the camp and outflank them from the left and right wings.
In other words, Yang Xuan was sure that his men could block his night attack.
He not only wants to block, but also fights back!
"Get out!"
Ling Du roared.
The Shegu man beat the horse's back with the back of his sword desperately. The war horses that used to be as close as brothers now knew that they were at a critical moment of life and death, and they neighed and galloped with all their strength.
The war horses poured forward like a torrent.
The Northern Xinjiang troops on both sides were frantically outflanking.
Hurry up!
Faster!
Ling Du rushed out, but the Northern Xinjiang cavalry on both sides would also outflank him.
He rushed forward and was immediately surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang cavalry behind him.
At least five thousand riders were trapped inside.
Ling Du turned around and saw that there were about ten thousand cavalrymen outflanking Northern Xinjiang. He was overjoyed and said, "Kill back!"
In order to make the raid successful, Asibao gave him all the elite troops.
If all those five thousand horses were left here, it would be like having their waist cut off for the Shegu tribe.
He led his men to fight back and kill him.
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry was attacked on both sides and was immediately penetrated. However, the generals called on their men to counterattack again and surrounded the enemy.
The two sides fought repeatedly at the gap, and corpses piled up, which actually hindered the horses from walking together.
At this moment, Zhen Siwen came with his troops.
Then the Chinese reinforcements arrived.
"withdraw!"
Ling Du turned around and shouted.
At the gap, more than a hundred Northern Xinjiang cavalry defeated the last group of Shegu people, and the encirclement was successful.
"Kill out!"
Ling Du shouted.
No one hesitated, they all roared and rushed forward.
Waves of Shegu people rushed into the encirclement, and they did not look back.
The war horse was hit by an arrow and fell down, and the cavalryman on the horse flew away. He stood up with difficulty and wanted to continue killing the enemy, but was knocked down by the war horse behind him.
Horse hooves trampled down one after another, trampling both the living and the dead into pulp.
Next year, the weeds on this land will be even more lush.
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrows from the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to fall. Ling Du listened to the screams and knew that with every moment of delay, the possibility of total annihilation was higher.
"Follow me!"
Ling Du rushed over with the elite around him.
A strangled battle broke out between the two sides, and the sergeants were thrown into the gap like beans.
When a Shegu man broke out of the encirclement, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
"Shegu!"
The desperate Shegu people finally opened a passage, and under the cover of arrows and the frantic pursuit of the Northern Xinjiang Army, they rushed out in panic.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
Ling Du shouted anxiously from the gap.
So far tonight, his losses have been greater than those of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
However, this night attack at least greatly reduced the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
It's worth it if you can achieve this goal before the decisive battle!
Ling Du comforted himself in this way.
When there were still more than 3,000 cavalry left in the encirclement, the attacks from the Northern Xinjiang Army on both sides became more and more fierce.
Ling Du took one last look at his subordinates in the encirclement, then sadly turned his horse around and said, "Let's go!"
Suddenly, the pitiful howls of his subordinates and the long neighing of the war horses were heard in their ears. It was very tragic, as if they had encountered a demon.
Lingdu turned around on horseback and saw more than ten big men blocking the front. They held big swords in their hands. Every time they slashed with the swords, the men and horses would be broken into pieces.
These big men were so burly that every step taken by the leader was sure to kill someone. He walked faster and faster. The two Shegu people roared and rushed over side by side, preparing to knock the man away with their war horses.
good!
Ling Du's eyes lit up when he saw the big man refusing to hide.
The sword flashed, and then the two Shegu people disappeared.
There are four more things on the ground.
The big man raised his head, looked at Ling Du, and said calmly:
"Sign up!"
Ling Du clenched his long sword and looked at the fleeing subordinates in front of him, many of whom were turning around.
And more people were fleeing into the night.
The one who turned around must be the real Shegu people.
Those who only care about themselves are mostly those who surrendered from Northern Liao.
I want to tell the king that we must recruit more Shegu people from the mountains and forests. These talents are the foundation of the Shegu tribe.
This thought flashed through Ling Du's mind.
Now, he must first get past this big man's interception.
He gripped the long knife tightly and said, "Lingdu! Tell me your name!"
"Lin Feibao!"
The big man stepped forward quickly.
Ling Du stirred up his horse and the two of them quickly approached.
Ling Du was condescending and swung the most powerful sword in his life.
The long knife moved forward without hesitation, and struck Lin Feibao's shoulder diagonally like lightning.
The two sword lights collided together.
The long knife shattered.
The light of the sword continued downward, and the horse's head was chopped off with one strike.
Ling Du and the huge horse's head landed on the ground together, and the man immediately punched the ground.
The big man holds a knife in his left hand and punches in his right hand.
The two fists collided together without any fancy.
call!
Ling Du stumbled back.
Blood kept pouring out of the corners of his mouth.
He stopped walking, raised his eyes, and said with a smile: "What a strength!"
Lin Feibao said: "Tell me your identity and I will spare your life."
Ling Du smiled and said, "Axibao's brother!"
The past is like dust and smoke, passing through Ling Du's mind... The two children who played together with their bare buttocks gradually grew up, went hunting in the mountains together, and pursued the girls of the tribe together.
"Axibao! Take care!"
Ling Du backhanded his fist and hit his own Yintang hard.
The majestic body fell heavily.
Lin Feibao still didn't know who Ling Du was who he forced to commit suicide. He just glanced at the corpse casually and said, "It's a man."
In the autumn of the fourteenth year of the Qian Dynasty, General Shegu Lingdu attacked the northern Xinjiang camp at night, winning first and then losing.
