Chapter 108: Death in the Night
The procession walked out of the city from Longguang Gate, stepped on the originally strong suspension bridge, and made a "squeak" sound, and Jin Ming, who was in the lead, was a little skeptical that when the five thousand people behind him passed, the bridge would collapse immediately. After being besieged for so long, the outside of the city has completely changed, and all kinds of wild grasses are moistened by the rain and sun, and they grow strongly, occupying most of the mud outside.
Smelling the smell of grass, Jin Ming's footsteps did not stop turning and walking towards the direction of the west gate, the standard-bearer who followed closely behind unfurled his command flag, and the footmen who came out followed the steps of their predecessors, stretched out a long column along the moat in the pitch darkness, and the neat sound of "Bo Bo" sounded in the silent night sky.
The enemy camp in front of them spanned the two gates in the west of the city, and their middle position was exactly the center between the two gates, and after walking for a while, Jin Ming stopped and turned his head to look at the city wall, and estimated that it was almost there, so he left the team and ordered the standard-bearer to plant his big flag on the ground, and the foot soldiers behind spread out to both sides with this as the center, forming a thin horizontal formation.
Almost as soon as the whole army was finished, a red bullet flew up from the city, dragging a bright flame trail over Jin Ming's head, and he looked up and followed the fireball all the way to the front. Knowing that this was the beginning of the attack in the city, there was still some distance from here to the enemy camp, and when the array in front of him no longer moved, Jin Ming waved his hand, and the flag bearer pulled out the big flag and shouted at the crowd.
"Forward!" In the darkness, the orders were passed down one by one, and the foot soldiers followed their respective military academies and began to walk forward tightly, and the horizontal formation that was originally lined up in a line also changed into a triangle with Jin Ming as the tip due to the difference in the order of action.
The whole queue did not move fast, partly because it was dark and could not see clearly ahead, and partly because their time for attack had not yet arrived. There were puddles in the mud outside the city, and if you were not careful, you could trip over, so the sergeants in the front row stuck out the handle of their guns to find their way.
After another firebomb flew by, suddenly a large scream sounded in the sky, and then a huge explosion sounded in the enemy camp in the distance, and the brief flash of fire and the screams of being bombed made the soldiers in high spirits, and everyone knew that it was the big guys in the city who were in power.
There was a smooth road more than ten paces wide near the enemy's camp, which was different from the potholes and weeds elsewhere, and the road was repeatedly run over by stone rollers, making it look hard. The road around the camp was dedicated to the horses, and even at night there were scouts patrolling back and forth.
At this moment, on the road, a small group of five scouts stopped there and looked at the camp behind them, the huge explosion sound was clearly transmitted even if they covered their ears with rags, and several people were stunned and uncertain, the city in the distance was obviously not moving, where did these explosions come from?
It's funny to say, originally as a spy, deafness and vision are the basic conditions, but that damn strange sound makes people annoying to listen to, and they are the most prominent in the camp, and they are born to hear more truly than others. Therefore, this behavior was acquiesced from top to bottom, and there was no threat in the city anyway.
One after another explosions came, there was already chaos in the camp, the scouts didn't know what to do for a while, such a big movement must have been seen by everyone, and besides, the camp was already like this, but who did they want to go to to tell them? All four of them turned their heads to look at a crack leader at the head.
The little leader turned his head in confusion to look in the direction of the city, something seemed to be moving in the darkness, like a wall? He pulled out the rag that blocked his ears, and an unusual alertness came out of his heart, and before he could think about it, a tall black shadow suddenly struck with the sound of the wind, and the huge force knocked him and the mount under his crotch into the air at the same time.
Blood spilled from the corner of the mouth of the little boss who was pressed to the ground by the horse's body, and in his scattered eyes, a big man like a demon god stood where he was just now, and the top of the long weapon in his hand was covered with long spikes. At this moment, a red light swept through the sky, and with the faint light, a large row of Song foot soldiers appeared in the last memory of his mind.
"As expected, after three explosions, a fire oil bomb will be used as a signal, and upon seeing this signal, it will immediately attack the enemy camp. Turn those chaotic enemy soldiers into routs, and remember to make sure that the soldiers don't have to cut off their heads, so that victory can be expected. ”
This is what Liu Yu told him before going out of the city, Jin Ming stood on a slightly hard road, and it took a lot of effort to hit him just now, mainly because the Laoshzi on his body was too heavy, but the effect was very good. The sticks in their hands were useless, and these Tartar scouts actually let a few of them get so close without noticing, and they were annihilated lightly.
"Ready, rush to camp with so-and-so." After speaking, Jin Ming put a mask painted a little hideously on his face, and tied the tie under the cheek guard in a knot with one hand, and with his order, the more than 1,200 armor infantry soldiers in the front row were all the same as him, Jin Ming raised his stick, strode over the dead corpses on the ground, and walked towards the enemy camp not far away.
Following Jin Ming's footsteps, the foot soldiers in the front row were scattered, each carrying three or four ordinary forbidden soldiers behind them, and their steps gradually accelerated. There were some antlers sparsely placed outside the camp, Jin Ming rushed forward, shouted, raised the stick in his hand, and the antlers that stood in the way were picked up by him and smashed into the chaotic crowd in the camp.
With the continuous fall of the earth-shattering thunder, Shige's camp was already in chaos, most of the sergeants were startled in their sleep, and they were so panicked that they didn't have time to take their armor and weapons and ran around in the camp, and finally escaped the explosion but ran into the Song army that attacked the camp.
"Ahh With a scream, a military academy with the appearance of a hundred households was cut into two pieces by a hemp knife, and the blood splashed on the foot armor was sprinkled on the foot armor, making the Song foot soldier in front of him even more terrifying, and the flying half of the corpse was kicked into the team that had just been assembled, and the frightened enemy soldiers could no longer support it, and they threw down their blades and fled backwards.
I have to say that these Han troops under Shi Ge are indeed elite, and under such chaos and blows, some sergeants are still called up to launch a counterattack against the Song army. The burning tents and torches in the camp made Jin Ming's eyes shine a little, and the big tent of the Chinese army had appeared in his sight, and the big flag of the enemy army was still floating in the sky.
Jin Ming blinked slightly, the mace flicked in his hand, and then a low cry burst out from under the terrifying mask, and he rushed into the crowd in front of him in a few flying steps, and the shining steel thorns were danced into a white shadow, accompanied by the miserable screams of the enemy.
There was not a single person within a few paces of him, neither the enemy nor his own people, even his own soldiers followed him from a distance, and the stick was so terrible that it was invincible to wield. An enemy warrior managed to block his blow, only to be cut through his helmet by a long steel spike from a stick.
"I can't stop it, Wanhu, let's go, I'm too late." In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shi Ge, who was snatched back by the soldiers at the risk of death, had woken up, fortunately not injured, he looked left and right, and struggled to gather his subordinates, and the soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged hugged his legs.
Shi Ge broke free and rushed to the door of the tent, only to see his soldiers running backwards like a tide, and no one stopped at his behalf. Reluctantly, he turned back and took out his long knife, and was about to kill someone, when the whistling sound in the sky came, and then the explosion of the air wave lifted his big tent.
Watching the people turn over the messy camp on their backs, and the frightened crowd running desperately, Shige's mind appeared in the same scene as the previous drive of the Song people, he suddenly lost all thoughts, and the long knife in his hand was raised and wiped directly at his neck.
"If it is not our sin, ten thousand households must not do this." Several pro-soldiers stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and snatched the knife in his hand, after this change, Shige no longer struggled, and let the pro-soldiers grab him and follow the flow of people, the moment he turned his head, he saw that his banner had fallen to the ground, and suddenly a stream of blood rushed to his throat.
The fall of the handsome banner in the camp completely destroyed the last trace of the will of the few resisters, Jin Ming's eyes were already flat, killing people was not the goal, Liu Yu just asked him to drive these people forward. The enemy camp was very large, and Jin Ming and his subordinates chased after them unhurriedly, only to drive back the enemies who occasionally ran in the wrong direction.
"Our army has entered the camp, the Tartars are fleeing, they have entered Area B, and there is no sign of the assembly of the army in the rear, over." Li Shiyi excitedly reported what he had seen, and the crowd of people who were running desperately were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and finally let the Tartars taste this way.
Just arrived in Zone B? Liu Yu looked at the sign on the sand table, the speed of the artillery bombardment had exceeded the enemy's rout speed too much, and he needed to adjust it. It won't take long for the enemy to react, and long-range artillery support is essential to crush the impending counterattack.
"Attention shooters, shooters pay attention, in the next round, after hitting five shocking thunderbolts in a row, then lower the scale, remember to hit five shots in a row." Liu Yu conveyed his order to the broadcast, and the position under the city was suddenly busy, and a moment later, countless black balls flew into the air with a small tail that flashed red.
The second group of 5,000 forbidden troops led by Liu Shiyong had already left the city, and the plan was that they would take over Jin Ming's task later, and Jin Ming's troops would take a short rest and prepare for possible reinforcements in the direction of the south gate. And if he hadn't traveled on a business trip, Jiang Cai's more than 1,000 cavalry troops should be walking on the path around the river bank at this moment.
Farther away, Liu Yu's eyes flew to the other side of the river, and by the time the carpet shelling reached the vicinity of the pier, Li Tingzhi should have received a signal, and his attack would completely disrupt the enemy's deployment. Liu Yu placed a model of a small boat in the position of the river, and a sense of pride in his heart came to his heart.
