Chapter 393: Night Attack
No matter how beautiful Duan Peng described the future, he couldn't withstand the cruel reality, when the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty rushed out of the city gate, the Southern Barbarian army was shaken by the deafening footsteps......
The footsteps of 5,000 people stepped out of the momentum of thousands of troops, and the stones on the ground jumped up and down, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has always been a dignified battle, and it is also the best at dignified battles, and the sentry posts of the Southern Barbarian Army only found them when the Black Armor Army was very close.
"Enemy attack! ~”
The sentinel's mournful cry made everyone reflect, and they hurriedly picked up the weapons in their hands to resist.
The enemy's camp was obviously unqualified in the eyes of the Great Song Forbidden Army, with no trenches, no arrow towers, and no horse rejection...... It's no different from the big open camp gate!
The Great Song Dynasty was dominated by infantry, with the Pu Daomen in the front holding a large shield, the Piercers with armor-piercing spears and the Mending Knife Men with long knives in the back, who were responsible for ending the fish that had not been killed by the previous army, and the archers in the back with ratchet crossbows in their triangular thorns pinned to their waists.
The battle between the two armies must be with swords and guns in the front and bows and crossbows in the back, but the Great Song bows and crossbows are even more terrifying.
The ratchet crossbow was not as powerful as ordinary crossbow arrows, and it began to shoot at a distance of three hundred paces from the enemy, and the sound of the buzzing crossbow strings sounded, shaking people's ears and hearts congested.
In the dark night, the southern barbarian army could hardly discern the direction of the crossbow arrows, and could only hear the sound of the arrows piercing the armor on their bodies, and the partners around them were shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows falling from the sky before they could let out a scream!
The sound of the riot woke up Duan Peng, who was drinking and feasting in the Chinese army, and also made the leaders of the various departments puzzled.
"Isn't it the Song people's reinforcements that have arrived?"
Duan Peng waved his hand decisively and said: "Impossible, a radius of ten miles to explain the probe horse spilled by this general, if the army comes to help, it will definitely receive the news, how can it be so fast?" ”
"Isn't it the defenders of Chengdu Mansion who are fighting?"
The words of the clan leader made Duan Peng laugh breathlessly: "The art of war has the battle of defending the city, and it is the best policy to hold on to the food and grass to wait for help, and now Chengdu has enough grain and grass, and there are many people in the city, and our army is besieging but not attacking, he Su Xun will not send troops to fight no matter how stupid he is, maybe it is your military camp that has a camp roar, and bring your own soldiers to find out!" ”
Everyone listened to Duan Peng's words and nodded slightly.
Yes! The Song people will not be stupid enough to abandon the city and send troops to fight, and the camp roar occurs from time to time, but as long as there is military discipline, it will die down after a while.
But everyone waited for a long time to hear the end of the shouting and killing, but it was getting more and more intense, and Duan Peng at this time realized that it was not appropriate, why hadn't the soldiers come back yet?
After quickly getting up and putting on his armor, he said: "The situation is a little wrong, you guys go with me to take a look, and see which part of the camp is shouting and killing!" ”
Everyone left the wine table in a panic, the patriarch of the Black Bone Clan frowned slightly, the direction of the shouting and killing was obviously in the east, and it was still far from the south gate where the army was located.
"General Qiyu, the White Cliff Department garrison in the east was attacked by the Song army at night, the number of people is not clear, but the White Cliff Department has been dispersed!"
"What?!"
Duan Peng never thought that the Baiya tribe of nearly 10,000 people would be defeated by the Song army in just half an hour, and what made him even more incredible was why these Song soldiers would go out of the city and attack at night?
Couldn't Su Xun see that the Southern Barbarian Army was besieging Chengdu Mansion but not attacking it?
Why did Su Xun send his soldiers out of the city to fight? There must be something strange about things that don't make sense according to common sense!
"Ordered all the troops to stick to the camp, and the soldiers of my standing army besieged and killed the White Cliff Department, I wanted to see if the Song people's edge was really so sharp!"
Once the enemy attacks the camp, it must be exterminated, otherwise the chain reaction will cause the entire army to collapse, in order to avoid this terrible consequence, Duan Peng can only risk exterminating this Song army, even if it offends the Great Song Dynasty, it is better than the collapse of the entire Southern Barbarian Army.
Under the leadership of Duan Peng, the standing army began to strangle the White Cliff Department in the east, the White Cliff Department was numerous, even if the morale was defeated, the rout troops scattered everywhere also caused a lot of obstacles to the Song army, Yao Guang shouted to the heralds: "Change the military formation, advance in a conical formation, and be sure to encircle and kill thoroughly!" ”
The herald got the crisp sound of the military horn that commanded death, and the sound of the military horn sounded three long and one short, and the veterans who heard the military horn shouted to each other: "Change the formation, change the cone formation!" ”
The soldiers of the Song army quickly gave up killing the enemy and moved closer together, and soon formed a new formation, and this sentence was spread in the army: If the positive shape is not broken, it is invincible! The White Cliff soldiers here were no longer able to fight, and they found that they could not break through the Song army's defenses no matter what, which was the most desperate point for them.
The huge shield became the cover of the Song army, and behind the shield, the spear like a poisonous dragon continued to swallow, and each thrust could take the lives of the companions around them, and the army in front of them was like a fierce beast, and no one could hinder their advance.
The tremendous mental pressure and the bloody reality in front of them prompted the White Cliff soldiers to begin to collapse, and they scattered and fled, huddled together and caused more stampedes than the Song army killed......
The rout is quite terrifying, and the soldiers of the entire White Cliff Department are all of the same clan, so naturally there will be no law enforcement team to manage military discipline, and everyone will flee in all directions, and no one can restrain anyone.
Yao Guang suddenly turned around and shouted to his own soldiers: "Send a signal quickly, take advantage of the chaos of these routs to let Bao Bao and Lao Liu cover up!" ”
As soon as Yao Guang's words fell, a gunpowder bomb dragging a red tail flame rose into the air, and exploded with a bang~ to form a dazzling light cluster, and for a while, many Southern Barbarian troops involuntarily raised their heads......
The result of being distracted on the battlefield is to kill himself, the old pawn of the Great Song Dynasty flew across the blade into the vital point of the pawn and then quickly pulled out, the three-edged army thorn almost easily pierced the rattan armor on the enemy's body, and the blood burst out like a spring, no matter how it was blocked, it couldn't be blocked.
Slowly there was a seeping scream on the battlefield, this kind of desperate scream from the heart made the hearts of the Dali standing army who surrounded him furious, what kind of enemy made the soldiers of the White Cliff Department let out such a scream?
Whoosh ...... Tuk Tuk ......
The rain of arrows of death did not give them time to think about it at all, and the standing army of Dali was suddenly attacked by the rain of arrows, and the soldiers fell like wheat, and what was even more infuriating was that they still did not know where the enemy had shot the arrows......
Duan Peng shouted hoarsely: "Raise your shield!" Standing armies raise their shields! ”
How can a ratchet crossbow that can penetrate even heavy armor be able to withstand ordinary rattan cards?
Even with the rattan protection standing army, there were still heavy casualties, but after the same round of arrow rain, the location of Bao Zheng's reinforcements was also exposed.
The yellow medicine puppet rose, echoing the red signal, the distance between the two armies at this time was quite close, with Yao Guang and others fighting cover, Bao Zheng with three thousand forbidden troops followed by the cover of the night quietly touched.
The rain of arrows just now is their masterpiece, and it happened that the standing army of Dali who came to the aid would be polite, directly covered by a crossbow arrow, and most of the reinforcements were composed of archers, and they were condescending at close range, and the standing army with torches was simply a live target.
Run when you're done......
Bao Zheng's reinforcements opened the way with five hundred forwards wearing plate armor and holding Mo knives, and the archers on both sides held arm shields in one hand and crossbow arrows in the other to cover.
The Mo knife was raised high and fell, bringing up a piece of blood and water, like a mountain entering the wall, and the momentum was magnificent.
The army of Dali Kingdom did not dare to touch the edge at all, this was a huge flesh and blood grinding plate, and anyone who was strangled would not want to escape.
The long Mo knife was neatly aligned under the wielding of the wrestler, and continued to advance towards Yao Guang's department, and the soldiers who were originally blocking between the two armies were already frightened and fled for their lives.......
