Chapter 143: Night Attack
"It's not just us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "King Yan looked solemn," and the people of the entire border. ”
Hua Jiantao took a deep breath, and there was a kind of turbulence churning in his heart.
Yes, and the people of the entire border, they rode out on a light horse, they were a husband, they could shroud themselves in horse leather, they were just to guard one side of the courtyard!
That night, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and in the gloom, a team of horses was quietly waiting.
Suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves approaching in front of him, King Yan lifted the reins, and everyone looked vigilant, and soon, a light horse came to the army in the night.
"He's there?"
The man saluted on his horse and said sonorously: "Your Highness, the leader and his lieutenant are in the camp, and it is snowing heavily tonight, and they have all turned off the lights and stopped, and they have no intention of sending troops." ”
"How many?"
"Similar to what was previously expected, the brigade of soldiers and horses is still in the rear, and the number of soldiers and horses in Gyeongju is expected to be 50,000."
Fifty thousand.
King Yan and Hua Jiantao exchanged glances, and the two looked back at the light cavalry troops they led, which numbered just over five thousand.
"Your Highness." Hua Jiantao leaned closer and said in a low voice, "On a snowy night, the enemy is bound to be very vigilant, today's sneak attack, the probability of success is nine times out of ten, and the soldiers are also willing to fight, it is better to ...... Give it a go. ”
The suffering of the people of Gyeongju is still in sight, and this group of unscrupulous Tartars took advantage of the snowy night to attack the city, and the people were all slaughtered while they were still sleeping.
The next morning's light sprinkled on the land, drenched in blood, and they snatched and killed like wild beasts without any human humanity.
King Yan tightly held the heavy sword in his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers! We are about to set out on the march, and this attack must be victorious, and you must fight to kill the enemy! The famous general Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty braved the snow to go down to Caizhou, leveled the feudal town in one fell swoop, and made immortal achievements, and today it snowed heavily, isn't it providence! I hope that you will pledge your country, never give up until you die, establish meritorious deeds, and leave your name in history! [note 1]
"Pledge your country! Death to death! ”
"Pledge your country! Death to death! ”
The soldiers were passionate, the reins in their hands were pinched to death, and a raging fire ignited in everyone's hearts.
It is the heart of killing the enemy and the soul of patriotism!
"Kill!"
King Yan gave an order, lifted the reins and took the lead, behind him was the sound of battle, the sound of horses' hooves flying in the heavy snow, and the soldiers raised their guns and tried their best.
In the cold night, the snow foam flew, and in the heavy snow, the horse's hooves stepped deep into a snow pit, and it was soon covered by heavy snow.
On a snowy night like this, no one has the heart to spend a moment outside.
In the Tatar barracks, except for a few men who were cooking outside, there were only a few guards at the sentry shivering in the heavy snow.
The soldiers of the brigade hid in tents and burned the fire, with money and food just looted from Tongzhou in hand.
It was already the second half of the night, and the people on the sentry finally couldn't help rubbing their arms, scolded God in Mongolian, quickly got off the sentry and stomped their feet, and shouted inside, "Damn, hurry up and change the guard." ”
Coming out of the warm camp, the guards were still a little uncomfortable, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they stumbled back, "Call your mother's call, big night, recruit wolves?" ”
The two teams walked in, and the new person handed over the food he received, wrapped himself tightly and didn't want to say anything, and waved his hands again and again, "Take the food, hurry back." ”
Those few people took the food and quickly nibbled on it, the hungry stomach had some warmth, and the whole person was a little milder, seeing that those people were still a little sleepy, they couldn't help but push, "Hurry up, don't report something wrong, and drag your family on the horse's ass when the time comes." ”
"Phew." Although those people spitted, they still stomped their feet and ran a few steps to the sentry, "You dare to damn curse my family, you see that I won't kill you tomorrow." ”
"Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter." Earlier, those people obviously wanted to continue to provoke, yawning and waving their hands, "Whatever you do, let's go back first......"
Before the man's words fell, he only felt that something "swished" into his throat, hard and cold, and before he could figure out what it was, he saw several people around him also fall down one after another with arrows.
It's an arrow.
A snowflake fell into the man's eyes, and his body was obviously cold, but it was soon surrounded by a warm liquid, and his body should not feel cold, and the warm liquid was exuding something fishy.
It must have to be his own blood, he thought.
His body became a little heavy, and he tried to move his lips. Suddenly, something extremely heavy stepped on his body fiercely, and he only felt that all his internal organs were crushed by the stepping.
It was dark in front of him, and even the last of the colors of the dark sky had lost its brilliance, and there was a roar in my ears, the neighing of horses.
Horses, how can there be horses?
His mind was in a state of chaos, and the sounds in his ears were roaring, something like a nightmare, a fantasy that he would never wake up again.
King Yan raised the sword in his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "The one who killed my people is right in front of him!" Don't leave any of them! Kill! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers were excited, and the swords in their hands flew one after another, leaving a smear of blood in the Tatar barracks.
It was blood, blood all over the sky, and the color of blood stained the Tatar barracks at once.
Screams and begging for mercy resounded.
Hua Jiantao rushed to the front of the team, his eyes were already full of blood, the knife rose and fell, and the saber was full of the souls of Tatar soldiers, "Where is he!" ”
Someone raised his hand and pointed to one of the barracks and shouted, "There! Over there! ”
The Tatar barracks were already in a state of panic, most of the people had already taken off their armor and were ready to rest, and in the commander's tent there were a few oil lamps, and there was constantly the sound of women's screams and clothes rubbing.
"Your Highness! You go over there, I'll cover you! Hua Jiantao shouted behind him.
There was a sudden neighing of horses in his ears, and a gale swept by, and I saw that King Yan had smeared the arrows in his hand with fire oil and shot them into the tent of the Tatar commander.
The arrow ignited a fire, and at once it was shot at the tent, and with a bang, a spark suddenly ignited on the tent.
The people inside couldn't care anymore, so they hurriedly ran out with a big knife.
"It's been a long time, Harbara."
Before the man called Halbara could mention it, he felt a chill in his neck, something firm in his throat.
"You...... You ......"
At this time, the Yan King was like a god descending, and his silver-black armor emitted a cold light in the night, "What are you!" ”
Note 1: Taken from "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the attack on Gyeongju refers to the battle of General Lanyu in the Ming Dynasty.
