Chapter 1544: Conquest of the Empire (40)
Under the charge of nearly 10,000 ignorant soldiers, no one had the ability to stop it, all they could do was the tide pouring out of the camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the flood charge, the camp of the logistics team was the first to suffer, and it was destroyed by the soldiers in an instant, and those strong men in the logistics team who were even more ignorant and unassertive, and were brought in as hard labor, were immediately swept into the torrent, expanding the power of this torrent.
After breaking through the camp, all the slaves picked up weapons from the camp, and after having weapons, the courage of the slaves skyrocketed, and the chaotic fleeing enemy army made the morale of the slaves reach its peak.
However, after the logistics camp was broken by the rebels, these slaves were immediately poured cold water on their superiors.
"Stop the pursuit, start counting the captured supplies, and set up camp!"
The captains' orders made the slaves hold their breath and couldn't attack.
Revolt? Who would dare? I had to vent this strong killing intent on looting the camp's supplies.
After the search, the slaves were surprised to find that more than 10,000 sturdy war horses, more than 5,000 donkeys and mules and pack horses had been captured, but all of these creatures were sleeping, and the loud noise and any damage could not make them wake up.
In addition to these most important strategic materials, large quantities of armor and weapons were seized, and large quantities of food were seized in the logistics battalions.
While everyone was wondering about the sleeping war horses, the captain mysteriously took out a few water bags, and then asked people to fill these war horses with a mouthful.
I don't know what was in the water bag, but all of a sudden, the war horses all woke up, except for a little stunned at the beginning, and then they were like normal war horses. Of course, a little disobedience to orders is inevitable, and after a few whips, the war horse obediently obeys the order.
Those who knew how to ride immediately turned over and galloped on their horses, while those who did not know how to ride had to lead their horses to the prisoner camp, and dragged them back to the prisoner camp.
Then the slaves began to work hard again and began to fortify the camp, and if it had not been for the fact that the waterwheels had already been filled with water, it is estimated that most of the slaves would have died of thirst.
On the same night, waiting for the captives to arrive in the Kate camp and break through the trenches, countless masked men in black appeared in the same way, adding strange liquids to the sinks of the stables. After doing this, the men in black left without alarming any of the Kates.
In the afternoon of the next day, Kate's army, which was about to start dinner, was shocked, and saw that the marshal and the officers above the rank of wing commander all came to the camp gate facing the mountain, looking at the mountain road with solemn faces.
The soldiers didn't know what was going on, but they were too frightened to eat, so they hid and talked quietly.
After a while, several cavalrymen rushed out of the mountain road, and after entering the camp, they only said a word to the commander and retreated. Immediately afterwards, the order was given to all the men to enter the combat state, but no one was allowed to ride horses, as long as they carried weapons and set up a column in front of the camp gate.
The soldier with an empty stomach immediately became heavy.
This is the camp gate facing the lair, and it actually puts on such a trick? Could it be that the nest is lost, and Zhao Hujun came from behind?
Impossible, how did they get around? Or, the 5th Brigade that remained in the old battalion rebelled?
The soldiers lined up in front of the camp gate while thinking nonsense, and at that moment the ranks suddenly stirred up, and were suppressed by the shouts and reprimands of the officers.
There is no other reason, that mountain road, a large number of soldiers wearing Kate's military uniform poured out one after another!
The soldiers' hearts trembled at the sight of these colleagues with tired faces, unarmed, and weak to move their feet.
The Fifth Brigade was attacked? But why didn't anyone ride a horse? Even if someone steals the camp at night, it is impossible that you can't even ride a horse?
Looking at these soldiers of the Fifth Brigade who wept bitterly like wanderers returning home, the corners of Kate's eyes twitched.
His own cavalry division was formed by single-horse cavalry, and now there are tens of thousands of war horses all of a sudden, which is really painful like cutting my heart. Moreover, all the officers above the rank of captain died and could not be reorganized at all.
In fact, even if all the staff are undamaged, they can't be rebuilt, because there are not so many reserve weapons in the forward camp!
Kate's forehead was bruised, and he said to the junior general: "Order the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to immediately return to the old camp, and order the 3rd and 4th Brigades to ......"
Speaking of this, Kate suddenly stopped, looked up at the subordinates who made him feel embarrassed, and then gritted her teeth and said: "After they have dinner, immediately organize them and let them go to pave the bridge tomorrow!" The 3rd and 4th brigades are under surveillance behind their backs! ”
The officers who heard this had a chill in their hearts, this is such a humiliating punishment for the Fifth Brigade, right? Laying a trench has to be filled with your life.
The commander of the 1st and 2nd Brigades, who received the order, immediately gathered his men and horses to rush to the stable, but after a while, exclamations rang out, and Kate, who was already extremely annoyed, immediately shouted: "Damn, what happened again? ”
Before the young general could run to ask, the officers of the first and second brigades ran over in a panic: "Commander, the war horses of our two brigades are all sleeping, and no matter what method is used, they can't be sobered up!" ”
When the people heard this, their faces changed, and the commanders of the 3rd and 4th Brigades immediately sent people to investigate, and as a result, all the livestock in the entire battalion fell into a deep sleep, and it was the kind of deep sleep that could not be awakened by punches, kicks, knives, slashes, and stabs.
"What's going on?" Kate gritted her teeth, but unfortunately no one answered his question, because no one could explain such a strange thing.
At this moment, the young general who got the information hesitated for a moment, leaned forward and said: "The Fifth Brigade also encountered such a situation, so it didn't even bring out a horse. ”
Kate's face changed, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the trench, which made him stunned.
Zhao Hujun, who was on the other side of the trench, suddenly lifted out thousands of simple bamboo rafts that were two or three meters wide and five or six meters long, and spread them on the trench, and then the dense Zhao Hujun rushed across the trench through these bamboo rows.
Kate squirted blood, and the officers were so frightened that they immediately gathered around and beat her chest and back.
Breaking free of the support of his subordinates, Kate pointed to the trench and roared fiercely: "Zhao Hu! You're ruthless!
Dare you to come up with so many tricks, you are ready to wipe out my cavalry division! But don't think so well! Lao Tzu's cavalry has become infantry, and it is still a strong journey in the world! ”
Speaking of this, Kate saw that her subordinates were still stunned, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "Damn, the enemy is knocking on the door, what are you still doing in a daze?" Fight back for me, go through the trenches! ”
The officers who were awakened immediately shouted: "Yes! ”
Years of military career, so that they have a kind of blood, since the old boss Lao En mainly fights with the enemy, then fight, even if he is now a horseless cavalry, but he is still a soldier, a soldier who can kill the enemy.
Under the encouragement, temptation, and threats of the officers, the soldiers, who were accustomed to blind obedience, immediately became enthusiastic, and some of them rushed out of the camp with their weapons in a hurry.
The officers were too lazy to pay attention to this kind of death-seeking behavior, and they wished that there would be more such impulsive men to buy them time to reorganize the army.
As the soldiers on both sides get closer and closer, the battle that will determine Kate's fate is about to break out......
Zhao Hu's army dispatched ninety percent of the first division, and the Kate army dispatched eighty percent of the cavalry division, and the combined strength of the two sides was nearly 150,000 people.
The 150,000 men gathered to fight on a narrow ground no more than 20 kilometers wide and no more than 30 kilometers long, which was simply frighteningly crowded.
Zhao Hujun first dispatched the first division of the infantry-based, because more than eighty percent of the soldiers have the status of samurai, so it has an extremely loud name of the samurai division in Zhao Hu's army, such a division is definitely the elite of the elite.
After Zhao Hujun rushed through the trench, he immediately assembled in a large formation, with the first row of sword and shield men, the second three rows of pikemen, and the back row of archers, lined up in a phalanx of five rows and one column, and slowly stepped forward.
Walking and walking, when it is connected to the other four brigades of the same number, the brigade becomes a five-column vertical formation dominated by the wing, and then continues to move forward until it walks side by side with the same number of brigades, which is the five-row horizontal formation of the brigade level.
As Zhao Hu's army advanced, the slow pace also became unified, and an awe-inspiring momentum immediately appeared on Zhao Hujun.
On the other hand, on the side of the Kate army, they usually charge on horseback, but now they have changed to foot combat, and the Kate cavalry, who have a bit of O-shaped leg tendency, is naturally quite uncomfortable.
The equipment of the cavalry was originally quite simple, spears, sabers, short bows, although there were vests, but who would be idiotic enough to wear vests for foot combat?
Formation? Kate, the soldiers who had just switched from cavalry to foot warfare, dared to think that they could move forward as fast as before, turn and retreat, and they all rushed forward in a swarm.
Seeing the contrast between the formations of the two sides, Kate's face darkened, and those senior officers couldn't help but complain about Kate in their hearts.
Before, Kate said that the whole cavalry was more free to advance and retreat, but now she has been harmed so that all the horses have gone to sleep, and she has made these horseless cavalrymen inferior to the militia!
But after complaining, they began to complain to themselves again, knowing that it would be better to propose to bring some infantry in the first place, otherwise they would not have to let the cavalry go to death!
Thinking of the thought of death, the officers all turned their eyes to the Fifth Brigade who were desperately eating and drinking.
But there is no war yet, so what decision can't be made yet, and who knows if there will be a case?
