Chapter 154: Burning the Company Camp
Ever since he sent off the expedition, Feng Jiutian had been a little uneasy. I don't know if it's because www.biquge.info Jiang Moyan's resolute opposition has affected him, he is always a little unsure about this decision, but he can't find the problem.
Feng Jiutian stood outside the big tent, looking at the wilderness shrouded in fog in the distance, and his mood was also stained with a layer of haze. After a while, Mu Nian came back, cautiously came to Feng Jiutian's body, and whispered, "Mo Yan...... I followed. ”
Feng Jiutian gritted his teeth, knowing that this kid must be angry with himself, blaming himself for not believing him. Feng Jiutian sighed and returned to the big tent a little depressed.
Mu Nian followed up behind and said, "Why don't your subordinates go over and have a look?" ”
Feng Jiutian shook his head and said, "Let him go!" With Bao Jianfeng here, he shouldn't be in any danger. ”
Feng Jiutian turned around and asked Mu Nian, "How is the battle ahead?" Is there any news coming in? ”
Mu Nian shook his head.
Feng Jiutian turned his head to look at the map on the wall, and was a little stunned for a while.
On the battlefield on the left flank, as Jiang Moyan expected, the Donghuang soldiers were experiencing the most tragic massacre in history. It is not too much to say that it is a massacre, because for the tightly wrapped and invulnerable Northern Underworld Army, these Donghuang soldiers who have no protection and come up to kill with broken blades are really waiting for them to be slaughtered.
In fact, the equipment of the Donghuang Army cannot be considered bad, because the battlefield of that period only had cold weapons, mainly infantry. These infantry traveled long distances, and in addition to fighting, they also had to march, so naturally it was impossible for everyone to wear heavy armor.
Even the cavalry of Donghuang could not compete with the cavalry of the Northern Underworld. First, the horses in the North are good, and there are many horses. Each cavalryman was accompanied by two or three horses, which were mounted in turn. And Donghuang's horses are bought from neighboring countries or horse dealers at a high price, the quantity is not much, the quality is not good, each person is not enough to ride, where will be extravagant to the point of transferring?
Without horses, it is impossible to counterweight armor, because those armors are also very heavy, and before anyone can wear them on the battlefield, the horses are already tired and lie down first, how can they fight?
Therefore, Jiang Moyan has studied for so long, but she is helpless about this lack of capacity, after all, she is only a soldier and has not yet developed the ability to make tanks and cannons, so so far, Jiang Moyan has avoided a head-on conflict with the Northern Underworld Army, and all battles are won by calculation.
Looking at the overwhelming superiority in front of him, a sneer hung on the corner of Ada Khan's mouth, and he could finally avenge the previous attack on the camp.
Suddenly, a panting soldier was brought to his horse, knelt down and said: "Lord, it's not good, the rear is on fire!" ”
Ada Khan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me clearly, where is the fire?" ”
The man didn't care about wiping his sweat, and said excitedly: "In the rear, our camp is on fire, and if we don't go back to fight the fire, the camp will probably burn down!" ”
Ada Khan was shocked, and the camp was on fire? Could it be that the Donghuang people came to steal the camp again? As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, Ada Khan didn't think much about it, he looked at the team that was chasing and killing, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Mingjin collects the troops, withdraw!" ”
Jiang Maocai was desperately retreating with his men and horses, when suddenly a deputy general ran over and shouted to Jiang Maocai: "General, the Northern Underworld Army has withdrawn!" ”
"What? Withdrawn! Jiang Maocai grabbed the reins of the horse and looked back. Sure enough, those Northern Hell cavalry were retreating in an orderly manner, and they were far away in a short time.
Jiang Maocai felt inexplicable, such a good opportunity, why did they withdraw? He reined in his horse and spun around, looked at the tired soldiers around him, and then looked at the dead corpses in the distance, and sighed deeply.
Lu Feipeng and Yue Qianxue also rode over, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Besides, Ada Khan hurried back with his people, and saw in the distance that the flames were soaring into the sky, and the entire camp was already surrounded inside.
Ada Khan was in a hurry and ran back quickly. When I looked closer, I realized that the fire had started from the west and had now burned into the camp. The tents were made of felt and wood, and they could not be burned at all.
Everyone dismounted and went to the nearest place to fetch water from the well to extinguish the fire. The soldiers, who couldn't find the buckets, broke off the dead branches and threw them at the flames, trying to extinguish the fire.
It took most of the day for everyone to put out all the fires.
Ada Khan looked around the camp, nearly half of the tents had been burned, and the surrounding area was even more in shambles.
Ada Khan gritted his teeth angrily, and scolded Dongfang: "Okay, you are a phoenix Jiutian, you have repeatedly attacked my camp, you are really a scheming villain!" ”
At this time, Feng Jiutian, who had carried the black cauldron, was in the big tent, looking at Jiang Maocai and the others who were dejected. Suddenly, a lieutenant general walked in from outside the tent and reported to Feng Jiu Tianyu: "Your Highness, General Bao and they haven't come back yet, the last general has already sent a scout, and it is estimated that there will be news back soon." ”
When Feng Jiutian heard the man's report, his heart was like hanging on the fire.
Mu Qing on the side looked at Feng Jiutian's changed face, stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's better to let your subordinates answer them." ”
Feng Jiutian nodded and said, "Bring more people, in case you encounter the Northern Underworld Army, don't be hard-hitting, save people first." ”
Mu Qing nodded and led people out.
Feng Jiutian looked at Jiang Maocai and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and finally it was Jiang Mao who spoke first: "Those Northern Underworld Army's combat methods are peculiar, we have never seen them, especially their cavalry, some of them have strong crossbows and strong bows, some of them are wrapped in battle armor all over their bodies, and even the horses are tightly wrapped, there is really nowhere to start!" ”
The other two nodded in agreement.
When Feng Jiutian heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He had long heard that Ada Khan was brave and good at fighting and leading troops, but he didn't expect his team to be so powerful. If you can't find a way to crack it, then the battle behind you really can't be fought.
He looked outside worriedly, if Jiang Moyan and the others also encountered the same team, wouldn't it be very dangerous? The worry in Feng Jiutian's heart deepened a little. I have to admit that in the face of the great enemy, he is more worried about Jiang Moyan, although this is very unresponsive to the requirements of a coach, but he can't control his thoughts at the moment.
Jiang Moyan, who was remembered, was standing on a hill with Bao Jianfeng at this time, looking at the burned camp of the Northern Underworld from a distance.
Bao Jianfeng held Jiang Moyan's waist, looked at her beautiful side face, and a trace of appreciation and pity flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Moyan, who had nothing to investigate, looked at the place where black smoke was still emitting from time to time and said, "This is enough for Ada Khan to drink a pot." After speaking, he laughed heartily, the laughter was not loud, but it penetrated into his heart along Bao Jianfeng's ears and made him remember it for many years.
Bao Jianfeng looked into the distance and asked Jiang Moyan, "How did you know that there was wild grass around their camp?" Could it be that you have the magical powers of an unpredictable prophet? ”
