Chapter 22 Plunder is like fire

Outside Nanzhao County, military tents stretch into patches.

The king of Chu was full of government soldiers, serving the people in his spare time and soldiers in wartime, and in the absence of long-term drills, the military quality could not be too high; Although there are no problems on the whole, the distance between the military tents is uneven, and the roadblocks and trenches to prevent the attack on the camp are also relatively simple, and there is a clear gap with the Xiliang Army and the Guanzhong Army.

It was almost early in the morning, and there was no sound in the military tent, only the patrolling Chu soldiers remained, holding spears to patrol back and forth outside the camp, and a bonfire was burning in the distance of the camp to prevent the night attack on the camp, but most of them had been extinguished.

Among the woods on the north side, Xu Buling led the horse silently, and behind him were two thousand cavalrymen, according to Lin Yuli's guidance, they cleared the scout posts along the way, and they had already touched the barracks a mile away.

The nightingale took the binoculars, glanced at the trees for a moment, and waved his hand slightly:

"Two hundred paces away there is a trench over which the horse can jump; There are three rejections on the front, and on the left flank is a rice field, and the garrison is the weakest......"

Xu Buling raised his hand and knocked Lin Yusong unconscious, and whispered to the back: "I will take five hundred people to attack the camp from the front, Xu Ying, you take the rest of the men and horses to raid from the side and take the commander's tent directly, don't fall in love after burning the grain and grass, and immediately rush to Nanyang to ......."

Xu Ying had already put on the ink-black battle armor, and after receiving the order, he raised his hand and led the thousand and five light horsemen to move to the left flank.

Ning Yuhe and Ning Qingye also wanted to follow Xu Buling, but attacking the camp at night was completely different from the Jianghu people robbing their homes, and it was not easy to kill 10,000 pigs running around, so Xu Buling didn't let them join in the fun, but only guarded the artillery that had been carried over with great difficulty in the rear.

After Xu Ying arrived at the predetermined position silently, Xu Buling walked out of the woods with five hundred Xiliang iron horses, turned over on his horse, lined up in the night, and gently raised his lance......

----

In the camp of the Chu army, Chen Shou, the chief general who led the troops to raid Luanshan County, had already slept, and there was still a map of the surroundings of Luanshan County on the table, but the age was too old and basically meaningless.

Knock Knock Knock –

The earth is trembling.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound, as if someone was beating a drum in the distance, or ten thousand beasts were galloping.

Chen Shou woke up suddenly, as a general under the King of Chu, he had rotated in northern Xinjiang to assist in defense, and he knew that this was the sound of horses' hooves, war horses!

Da Yue lacks war horses, especially high-quality war horses, Chu is located in the inner abdomen, the imperial court will not give war horses at all, all soldiers and horses are foot soldiers, the king of Chu spent a lot of effort to get together a fine horse, and the horses used are also common inferior horses on the rivers and lakes.

Hurried but not chaotic as thunder, except for the horse's hooves, there is no other sound, just this dull sound, can make people feel the majesty of the elite division.

Chen Shou had heard this kind of horse's hooves, and it was still when the northern Xinjiang was assisting in the defense, when the heavy cavalry of the Liaoxi Army was transiting, he had seen it from afar. Not to mention the armor, just the bloody breath that has been on the battlefield for a long time can make people feel chilled from afar.

Nanzhao County, how can there be a border army iron cavalry......

The first thought that Chen Shou had when he woke up was this, and the second thought that came from the bottom of his heart was trembling. He rolled over violently, grabbed the handsome sword from the side, and roared angrily:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Knock Knock Knock –

The real drums of war were already ringing out outside the camp.

In the huge barracks, the frying pan in an instant, the patrol foot soldiers, looking at the giant beast suddenly rushing in the dark night, ran behind the bunker in panic; The Chu soldiers who were sleeping suddenly woke up, turned over, and looked for helmets and weapons and crossbows, but it was obviously too late.

At a distance of one mile, Xiliang's light cavalry sprinted with all its might, almost not giving the Chu army time to open their bows and arrows.

After a rain of arrows on horseback, the unsuspecting front camp of the Chu army wailed, and the rear camp did not know the situation, and suddenly turned into a headless fly.

Xu Buling held a horse lance in his hand, and a horse rushed to the front, and a lance swept the horse rejection stake, and he burst out angrily:

"Xu Ying, take 8,000 light cavalry to attack the flank......"

The sound was like thunder, and it overwhelmed the noise of the hosts and reached everyone's ears.

Immediately afterward, an overwhelming wave of voices rang out from the left flank:

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

It's like a tidal wave!

In the camp, Chen Shou knew that the other party was bluffing, and the attack line must have been arranged in advance if he dared to attack the camp, so why shout in front of the battle? But he knew that the soldiers under him obviously didn't know this.

Five hundred iron horsemen rushed into the 10,000-strong barracks, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in the night.

The already defenseless government soldiers have not experienced a war for many years, and the battalion collapsed almost instantly, and they don't even know what to do, talking about the enemy?

The perennial opponent of the Western Liang Army is the border army of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is itself a lot higher than the combat power of the government soldiers, and the 2,000 people brought by Xu Buling are the elite of the Western Liang Army, and they are all cavalry.

Even if the formation is set up head-on, the two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry are sure to scatter the 10,000 foot soldiers, not to mention the current messy situation, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as killing pigs.

Two thousand Xiliang Iron rode into the camp, and they had already estimated the combat power of the Chu army's soldiers, but when they really fought, they realized that they were still overestimated.

The entire battalion also organized some resistance from the pro-soldiers near Chen Shou, and the other Chu troops were all throwing away their armor and running all over the ground.

Xu Buling held a horse lance like a purgatory killing god, and there were no corpses left everywhere he passed, almost rushing out of a blood line in the camp.

After the few generals were dismembered one by one, no one was able to organize resistance.

It was only one charge from left to right, and the entire battalion began to completely rout.

The main general, Chen Shou, recognized the armor of the Xiliang Army, and saw the white-robed general who was riding a wind-chasing horse and staring at him in the firelight, and he knew who it was.

The great general Xu Lie Jiwei is a good man, in the heart of the military attache of Dayue, he is the god of the army, and Xu Buling's inhuman combat power has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Seeing that Xu Buling led the Xiliang army into the barracks, even Chen Shou lost his will to fight in an instant, and took some of his own soldiers to turn around and break through, rushing to Nanzhao County, trying to defend the city.

The sky was dark and full of smoke and fire, and the rest of the Chu army scattered and fled to the mountains to avoid the cavalry.

Fighting a war of annihilation with the strong and bullying the weak, the Xiliang army did not need to command at all, and after breaking the Chu army's formation, it began to divide the battlefield and gradually strangle.

However, Xu Buling's purpose was not the 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers who appeared out of nowhere, he wanted to fight Nanyang. In about half an hour, after completely defeating and scattering the Chu army into the surrounding mountains, Xu Buling burned the grain and grass baggage, and rushed out of the barracks from the south side, along the Chu Plain of Pingchuan, and rushed towards Nanyang, a hundred miles away.

At the edge of the woods on the north side, dozens of soldiers who stayed behind, after a group of light horsemen pulled a few carriages back, quickly stepped forward, lifted four small artillery pieces to it, and then followed the cavalry to Nanyang.

Ning Qingye and Zhongli Chuchu rode on their horses, looking at the purgatory-like sea of fire in the distance, Rao is a woman in the rivers and lakes, and she was also a little stunned in her heart.

The people of the rivers and lakes fight the sword world, among which the strong have amazing combat power, it is easy to kill dozens or hundreds of small soldiers, and they never put the officers and soldiers in their eyes on weekdays; But seeing the scene of these thousands of people rushing into the camp of 10,000 people, Ning Qingye understood why the government had the final say in the world, such a big battle, no matter how strong the martial arts entered, it could only stir up a small splash.

Knock Knock Knock –

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and it disappeared at the end of the sky on the Chudi Plain in the blink of an eye......
