Chapter 519 Fighting wits and courage with the air
In mid-August, the autumnal equinox had passed, and there was a slight chill in the night wind, but Zheng Bao was sweating all over as he fought hard. He only took a hundred steps into the camp, and he lost hundreds of brothers.
This was only what he could see. Beyond the firelight, he didn't know how many people had fallen.
In a sneak attack at night, the enemy hurriedly responded to the challenge, but it took several people to kill one of them. How could it be possible to let them slow down?
"Charge! Keep charging! Charge up and chop them over!" Zheng Bao gasped and roared loudly.
"Leader, the imperial court is blowing drums and trumpets, retreat! If you are surrounded, you will die."
The initial Xue Yong quickly retreated in the face of huge casualties, and some small bosses began to persuade him to retreat.
"Fart, this is because the emperor is panicking. He is recruiting troops to protect himself. If he rushes forward, he will completely disrupt the court's troops. Didn't you see that they are all running away?"
The soldiers of Beiying began to retreat when they heard the drum trumpet, which greatly increased Zheng Bao's confidence.
He pointed the bloody long knife and shouted: "My sons, charge with me and kill the emperor!"
"Kill the emperor!"
"Kill the emperor!"
A group of bandits screamed about killing the emperor, hysterically venting their desire for killing and destruction. It was as if some kind of shackles were removed when this slogan was shouted, and some inexplicable fanaticism suddenly appeared.
The resentment in his bones that had been oppressed for generations suddenly burst out, his brain was congested, his pupils were red, and his fallen morale rose again.
This time the charge became much easier, with almost no one blocking it.
Zheng Bao laughed loudly and said he was going to win!
The Chinese army's tent is not far away, and there are only a few hundred soldiers guarding the emperor. Take them down, seize the emperor, and get whatever you want!
"Kill!" he shouted loudly, leading three to four thousand bandits and speeding forward.
A crowd of people, with their backs to the firelight, rushed out of the tents in the northern camp and rushed toward the brightly lit Chinese army.
"Get ready, shoot the arrow!"
The accompanying knights are all equipped with horned bows. Before the enemy approaches, they have to be baptized by several rounds of arrow rain.
"Seventy steps." Some soldiers specially estimated the distance and reported loudly.
"put!"
"Fifty steps."
"put!"
"Thirty steps."
"The front row stands up with spears, and the back row shoots freely." Dian Wei ordered loudly. They did not have many heavy shields, so they could only use horse spears as spears and set up a spear formation to block the enemy.
Looking at Zheng Bao, who had been hit by three rounds of arrows and charging towards him with an iron shield in hand, he grinned and sneered, "How dare you, a mere bandit, have the courage to attack?"
Really looking for death!
Turn your waist, lift your elbows, step up, and exert force.
"Go!"
The throwing spear came out of his hand, and amidst the strange roar, a black light flashed across the distance of thirty steps in an instant, breaking through the iron shield and going straight into the chest and abdomen.
Zheng Bao felt a huge force pushing his arm, pressing it against his chest. There was a loud bang, and his upper body seemed to have been hit by a big stick, but his legs and feet were still moving forward. The two forces were attacking him, and his body was not affected.
He fell down in the air under control, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The pain in his chest came like a tidal wave, but the rising blood blocked his throat. He only had time to let out a half scream, and then like a dead chicken with its neck strangled, he fluttered his hands and feet twice and died.
.
After shooting Zheng Bao with his own hands, Dian Wei snorted disdainfully and threw his spear in succession. The enemy ran for thirty steps. He had already shot six people in a row. When the enemy got close, he pulled out his halberd with both hands and rushed in.
The two fighting halberds were eight feet long, as thick as eggs, made of fine steel, completely black, and weighed twenty-eight kilograms each. He shouted loudly, and with a burst of brute force, he moved the two halberds, lifting the front thorn upward, and hooking the left hook.
Chiseling on the right is like holding two black dragons. If you touch them, you will die, and if you knock them, you will be injured.
None of the people on the side will get better.
Dian Wei was not good at leading troops, but with his crazy tiger-like fighting posture, his brave temperament that only attacked but not defended, his efficiency in killing enemies one by one, and his fierce image covered in blood, no one dared to be dissatisfied.
No matter we are enemies or ourselves, everyone is heartbroken by it.
The accompanying knight, who was already proud and arrogant, was inspired by Dian Wei and worked harder to kill the enemy.
The horse spear in his hand stabbed and struck, and the four-foot spear was full of human blood.
The horned bow opens and closes, the feathered arrows shoot rapidly, and the arrows never leave the vital point.
What is the ability to withstand the enemy's impact? Fighting back is.
Although their numbers are at a disadvantage, there are only three to four thousand thieves with no armor or crossbows. They only know how to fight in waves. Who are their opponents?
Liu Xiang looked at the enemies who were being suppressed and beaten by the guards, then looked at the soldiers in various camps holding torches, lighting fires, and forming formations. He then looked outside the North Camp and saw that the rebel soldiers who were attacked had almost been gathered together.
, and are forming defensive formations.
Looking into the distance, under the hazy moonlight, there is a quiet wilderness.
If there are subsequent actions, it cannot be so quiet.
"It seems that all the people who attacked at night are in the camp." He muttered, a little confused. These bandits didn't think they could defeat him with just such a few people, right?
So arrogant?
As if facing a formidable enemy, he used his personal guards to resist the incoming attackers, buying time for each battalion to form their armored formations.
Is this the result?
Five hundred accompanying knights were able to crush these people. Fortunately, he felt like he was facing a powerful enemy and was fully alert for the enemy's subsequent moves.
Is this thought a battle of wits and courage with the air?
"Send the order, the Jinwu Guards will surround you on the left and right, and the other battalions will be on alert."
The four thousand Jinwu Guards bypassed the central army like two fire dragons and cooperated with the guards to completely surround the bandits who attacked at night.
Facing the armored soldiers of the Forbidden Army, these bandits were no match at all. They could only fight with a dozen of the chaotic soldiers who were suddenly attacked and caught off guard. They could only be crushed.
.
With heavy shields and spears in front, the crossbowmen continued to approach and shoot, and the bandits' casualties were increasing.
Liu Xiang didn't say that he wanted to take prisoners, so the soldiers of the Forbidden Army would not hold back.
A large area of Beiying was burned, and the casualties were insignificant. The anger in his heart was difficult to extinguish, and no one who attacked could survive.
From the beginning of the night attack until all five thousand bandits were wiped out, it took more than half an hour.
I couldn't sleep, it was already past the ugly hour, and it would be dawn in just over an hour.
"Jin Wuwei cleaned up the battlefield, returned to the camp to put out the fire, and treated the wounded soldiers. The right supervisor of Yulin sent five hundred light cavalry to keep an eye on Juchao County, and attacked the city at dawn!"
Liu Xiang was very angry, mainly angry with himself. The biggest reason for this attack was that he did not send sentries to keep an eye on the enemy.
He forgot that this was a battlefield, and he actually did not regard the people in the city as enemies. He drifted away, thinking that he would conquer Jiangnan and dominate the world.
As a result, I stumbled in the small town of Juchao.
"How many casualties did your unit have?"
Looking at Gao Shun kneeling in front of him, he asked in a deep voice.
Gao Shun suddenly bowed his head to the ground: "813 people were injured and 362 people were killed. The general neglected to take precautions and is punishable by death!"
The one who was attacked was the trapped camp. They had selected too many recruits from the Western Expeditionary Army. Although the equipment was the same, their combat power was still not good enough, and their training was not good enough. They were suddenly attacked and the chaos was not light. Otherwise, just relying on those mountains
There is no way the thief could cause them such heavy casualties.
This number made Liu Xiang feel heartbroken. Even in a head-on decisive battle involving tens of thousands of people, the Forbidden Army might not be able to suffer such heavy casualties.
There were only 5,000 bandits, and the trapped camp suffered over 1,000 casualties.
