In the blink of an eye, several camps were in chaos. Although the site where siege equipment was stacked was the main target of the attack, no place was absolutely safe.
The elite headquarters led by the generals on the Beijing Road were able to try their best to maintain the stability of the various camps. However, the camps stretching for more than ten miles with tens of thousands of troops were attacked at the same time, and the shaken mood caused to the soldiers could not be recovered in a short time.
Many people were running around in the firelight, shouting in panic. It was obvious that the sky had begun to brighten, but they were trapped by the rolling black smoke. While running, they occasionally bumped into a small group of elite Ding navy troops who began to retreat. In the blink of an eye, they ran into
There were heavy casualties, causing even greater chaos.
The officers of the Ding Navy have used up all the fire cans they carry with them. Some of them even used up their arrows in the fierce fighting. Fortunately, these are selected elites who rely on the weapons captured from the rebel army.
Fight and retreat, and occasionally use the chaos to raid granaries or certain units of the Chinese army, achieving greater results.
However, it will eventually get brighter.
Regardless of the Black Army, the Bohai Navy, or the Khitan Army, those who can command various departments are all veterans who are accustomed to fighting. Most of them have rich battlefield experience. Everyone has more or less weapons that can be used at critical moments.
Elite.
In the chaos, these elites who went out one after another stared at the strong figures running between the light and dark light, so the two sides launched repeated ambushes, pursuits and entanglements.
At this time, the casualties of Ding Haijun began to increase. The young general who led Liu Ran and his party deep into the enemy camp was killed in battle. Liu Ran and several companions were separated from their own team and were fiercely pursued by a group of cavalry.
.
They ran hard among the noisy camps, and from time to time there was the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air behind them. Several times the arrows passed by them and hit the tent or the wood used to build the camp, causing sawdust to fly.
The angry roar of the pursuer almost sounded on the back of Liu Ran's neck.
"You almost shot me!" At this time, some soldiers shouted provocatively.
Liu Ran wanted to stop and shoot one or two arrows, but at this time he could only grab his companion's leg and drag him into a tent. Then, amid the screams of many enemy soldiers in the tent, he cut him with a knife.
He rushed out from the back of the camp.
"Be careful!" he shouted, "charge forward, there are horses there! Let's grab as many horses as possible!"
"You go first!"
One of his companions unfurled his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an enemy who was rushing into the tent on horseback. The arrow hit the target at a distance of less than ten feet, piercing the iron armor at once, and even the feathers of the arrow were almost completely engulfed in the chest.
.
The pursuer spurted blood from his chest and clawed at the air with his hands, quickly bringing down half of the tent. The tent and supports were all pressed against him, while the following pursuers stepped over the tent without hesitation and continued.
Chase.
The archery companion in front was also covered by the tent's curtain. He immediately dropped his bow and arrow and waved the cloth over his head. But this delay was enough for the black cavalry to catch up.
With a wave of the long sword, the soldier's head flew high into the air, and blood blossomed in the air.
His death did not cause his comrades to stop for a moment.
All the Ding navy officers were still running ahead. Only one sign leader who was running at the end looked back and shouted in a deep voice: "Lin Laosan is dead! His mother and family should be taken care of by us!"
Several people shouted at the same time: "Remember!"
Others took the temporarily captured war horses and rode them in front, shouting repeatedly: "Mount the horse! Mount the horse! Mount the horse!"
Deaths and injuries on the battlefield are always unavoidable. Everyone is mentally prepared and will not be sentimental at such times. What's more, they are not only comrades in arms, but also neighbors. Some of them even went to each other's houses and married their children. This is
This makes the companions of each fallen person generally irritable and calm.
He was irritable because the friendship between soldiers was extraordinary, but he was calm because everyone knew that the deceased would be mourned and honored, and the family and descendants of the deceased would be taken care of in the hands of their companions.
Today's event was able to create such chaos in such a large enemy camp, which was enough to embarrass the high-ranking officials who were attached to the army.
At the same time, as long as these Dinghai navy officers who are performing infiltration and disruption missions can return to Zhigu Village, what awaits them will definitely be heavy rewards, including not only a better future, but also real land that everyone values
and various economic interests.
With such expectations, everyone escaped extremely neatly.
On the outside of the camp, Ding Haijun, who had been waiting for a long time to meet Qingqi, also began to gallop back and forth, creating a huge momentum. Every eastward movement of Ding Haijun Qingqi represented a team responsible for disruption and raids that had begun to arrive at the outside to meet up.
.
As soon as each group joined together, they immediately retreated, with no one trying to hold on longer.
They have already caused huge losses to the enemy, and if they try to cause more results, they will only give those enemy forces who can react the opportunity to encircle them. In the end, they can only be chopped into pieces by the angry enemies... Before setting off, several
The generals have already given instructions repeatedly, and it is best to do it to this level.
Everyone is sure that the enemy will launch a frenzied offensive next. Such an offensive, and such an angry enemy, looks so fierce and terrifying, but in fact it is so stupid. When their minds are occupied by the siege of Zhigu Village,
From now on, our side will definitely win.
Whether it will be a victory or not is yet to be determined. However, the naval officer's estimate of the attacking pace of the besieging side was not wrong at all.
The generals on the Beijing Road who mobilized tens of thousands of people to surround Zhigu Village on three sides were generally shocked by the losses in this raid. After the shock, there was anger, and after the anger, there was fear and shame.
Although the Great Khan granted them full authority to attack the city, it did not mean that their series of actions could escape the sight of the Mongols. In the military camp, several Mongolian nayans were watching with their own eyes!
If the siege equipment that took so much effort to build was completely destroyed like this; if the companies and camps were deployed in such a large formation, and if the navy officers were allowed to come and go like this...then the generals would never escape the curse of the Great Khan.
!
Shortly after the Ding navy officers retreated, multiple continuous camps were like huge ant nests, spitting out pieces of black soldiers. The soldiers advanced like a tide, flooding the vast and less undulating saline-alkali land around Zhigu Village.
In the middle of the black tide, flags fluttered one after another. Under the flags were dense soldiers, and equally dense, a large number of catapults, battering rams, ladder trucks and other equipment. Regardless of the number of people, horses, or equipment, there were many
The horizon was beyond sight. As the messengers continued to shuttle among the military formations, relaying orders from various commanders, a large-scale attack on Zhigu Village broke out.
The huge noise shook Zhigu Village, and even caused the water surface in the river to tremble slightly. The flying dust was like layers of water vapor rolled up by the tide.
This surging wave of offensive itself carries a huge deterrent force. Almost everyone in it is incited by this deterrent force, as if he has become a member of this huge force, able to control everything.
Hostility and destruction will never lead to any disadvantage.
Only a handful of generals could remain calm at this time, such as the leader of the black army who always dared to charge forward.
Shi Tianying immediately stood behind the formation, watched the battle for a long time, and took a long breath: "If we put on such a dizzy look, we are sure that the navy will not let it go, right? Hey, Guo Ning is guarding the lifeline of Zhongdu with
Zhigu Village was used as bait, and Genghis Khan used tens of thousands of our subordinate troops as bait... I don’t know who made the bigger investment?”
This was said without any beginning or end, and the several generals who accompanied him were all astonished.
"Why did the prince say this?"
Feeling much better today and on the fast track to recovery! :)
