Chapter 522: Night Attack (I)

"It's so risky! And the trebuchet is very heavy, and there are no wheels, how can you push it? ”

Trebuchets produce a reaction force when fired, so they are generally not wheeled, and some are even nailed to the ground, so that the shooting will be more accurate.

"Ahh It's still so long before it gets dark, can you pack it now.... Didn't they gather a lot of cattle in the city, and they all gathered together to pull these trebuchets, and when it got dark, they tied their mouths, and then the moonlight pulled them to the river! ”

"But this..."

"I'm the deputy division commander, you're the commander of Qu, what, what! Have you forgotten what you learned in the Red Star Camp? ”

"Do you want to ask Fushan?"

"Outside, the military order is not subject to it! When the time comes, we will receive the credit together, and I will carry the guilt, this is always okay, right?

By the way, prepare some more flags and war drums, and when the time comes, I can't scare him to death while covering up and bluffing! ”

Zhou Tong nodded helplessly, and asked the county magistrate to help collect livestock and carpenters, and put wooden wheels under the trebuchet so that they could be pushed out of the city.

When night fell, the gate of the Inner Yellow City creaked open, and a group of chewed cows were blindfolded, their ears blocked, and under the pull of several farmers, they dragged the behemoth behind them.

These trebuchets are made of selected good wood, and some of the key components are also made of stainless steel, each weighing two or three tons, don't think it's heavy, and a car with good horsepower can be pulled and run in later generations, but in this era, it can only be pulled by oxen.

With the trebuchet, Guo Yin also walked out of the city with musketeers and grenadiers, and under the dim moonlight, a surprise battle was about to begin.

The Qingshui River not only protected the Inner Yellow City, but also protected the safety of the Yuan army, Guo Yin wanted to raid the Yuan army's camp, he had to cross the Qingshui River.

On the north bank of the Qingshui River, you can see that there are many bonfires on the bank of the river, and there are cavalry patrolling back and forth.

"Zhou Tong, I'll leave you a grenadier, I'll take the remaining four to cross the river from five miles to the east, we use fireworks as a number, and once we see fireworks, let the grenadiers throw grenades to the enemy camp."

"Master Guo, let me go."

"Do you know how to command the musketeers? You go? Stay here! Sanqu stays, others, let me go! Guo Yin scolded in a low voice, and trotted east with 1,600 independent division sergeants.

Wuli Road is not close, plus there is still to cross the river, and when Guo Yin tosses all the way, the time has reached almost three o'clock in the morning.

They left the city at nine o'clock.

"Brothers! Yan Liang is one of the best generals under Yuan Shao! As long as you can capture him alive, it will be a great achievement, and the wife and shadow will be today, listen to my orders and prepare for battle! Guo Yin sneaked all the way to the east side of Yuan's camp with the sergeant, he whispered, and then took out the fireworks bomb from his arms.

I saw him pull hard, and a puff of green smoke came out, and then a fireball flew into the sky with a pop, and exploded with a snap, emitting a red light.

Yuan Jun, who was keeping vigil, looked at the fireworks that appeared in the east, and many people opened their mouths wide, not knowing what it was, but thinking that it was a vision from the sky.

In particular, some Hun cavalry dismounted and knelt down, chanting words in their mouths, hoping that God would bless the grass to grow better, that children would die less in childbirth, and that there would be fewer plagues in livestock.

Zhou Tong saw clearly on the south bank, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Drop the bomb!" Drumming!! ”

The earth-shattering drums sounded instantly, and hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, but there was some momentum of thousands of troops.

The remaining grenadiers set fire to the grenade fuse that was tied together, which was specially protected with wooden pipes, and placed it in the trebuchet's bag.

The grenadiers' grenades were one pound, and these bundles were bundled into groups of six, and then five groups were placed inside a bomb bag.

As soon as the rope was pulled, the hammer fell sharply, and twenty-five groups of cluster grenades were thrown into the sky, flying over the Qingshui River, over the tents of the Yuan army and the patrolling sergeants, and all the way to the horse pen.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A huge explosion, fierce fire, and shrednel flying everywhere woke up the entire Yuan army camp.

But Yuan Jun was only woken up, and those war horses were frightened crazy.

Such a terrifying loud noise and flames frightened these war horses to pull the reins directly and frantically, and the makeshift manger suddenly crumbled.

If there is only this round, that is, a pull, and then under the comfort of the Hun stable, it will slowly quiet down, but then, another round of explosions, the war horse that has not experienced the firearm fright practice is completely out of control, the manger is torn apart, the horse ring is knocked open, the crazy war horse trampled everywhere, and some Huns who want to control the war horse are directly knocked to the ground, and then trampled into flesh.

Guo Yin in the east launched an attack after the first burst of explosions, shield soldiers, pikemen and grenadiers in front, five hundred musketeers stood in two neat teams behind, first came to the gate of the wall, the musketeers fired a volley, and all the sergeants of the Yuan army who were guarding in front of the gate were shot on the spot, because it was a camp that had just been built, even the arrow tower had not been erected, and the grenadiers easily blew up the gate of the wall, Guo Yin held the horizontal knife and shouted loudly, "Attack!" Capture Yan Liang alive!! ”

Yan Liang also woke up, he turned over and picked up the helmet on the side, lifted the sword on the side and walked out of the big tent.

He didn't take off his armor when he slept, and sleeping with it was his habit when he was fighting.

"What's wrong?" Yan Liang asked.

"Report to the general, I don't know why there was a loud noise in the horse circle, and it was on fire, our horses were frightened crazy, and there were enemy troops in the east, I don't know what weapons were used, and they had already broken through the gate."

Yan Liang listened attentively, there was a familiar explosion, and the sound like popping beans in the east, he couldn't help but tremble, this is Ma Qiang's mysterious army!

How did they end up here!

Could it be that Ma Qiang is here?

Got caught in the trick yourself?

As the saying goes, people are scary, they are scared to death, Yan Liang is in this state now, the earth-shattering drums on the other side of the river, the continuous explosions, the gunshots like popping beans in the east mixed with the grenadier grenade explosions, the sound is terrifying.

"General! Checkmate! Oh no, those war horses have already rushed into our camp, the Huns are chasing after us, and our sergeants have killed them in a panic, and now they are inseparable at all! The camp roared."

Camp Xiao??

Yan Liang almost wanted to faint.

The sergeants of Yingxiao are the chaotic army that has lost its command, and Yan Liang's army is indeed complex, including Yuan Shao's original Jizhou army, the Bingzhou army recruited in Bingzhou, the Montenegrin army, the Huns, and the Hanoi army.

On such nights, once panicked, the casualties caused by cannibalism are often greater than those caused by enemy night raids.
