Chapter 605: Reduced to Ashes
The Xianbei people did not seem to expect someone to attack their camp, and by the time they found out that there was an enemy attack, the camp was already on fire.
Because the tents and other tents are flammable, and many of the tents are connected together, and the wind is blowing at the moment, the wind helps the fire, and the fire uses the power of the wind, and the fire spreads rapidly.
The Xianbei people who were sleeping were awakened, and went to put out the fire barefoot, shouting and shouting.
Deng Ai and Shi Bao would not let go of such an opportunity, and led the Yue cavalry battalion and the Tun cavalry battalion to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, rampage in the camp of the Xianbei people, and cut down anyone they met.
The movement here was too big, and the army guarding the forage field soon discovered the abnormality, after all, the two sides were only five or six miles apart, and this side was full of fire, and it was shouting to kill the sky, unless the Xianbei people over there were deaf and blind, it was impossible not to hear or see.
Of course, there was such a situation, Xianbei did not expect that it would be the Wei army to come to sneak attack, they only thought that it was other Xianbei tribes to sneak attack, after all, Xianbei between the various tribes are constantly strife, today is not you attack me, tomorrow I will attack you, between each other, the scuffle, Tuoba Liwei can now become the king of Xianbei in the central part of the country, and it is through continuous battles and mergers that there will be such achievements today.
Now Tuoba Xianbei has become the largest tribe in Xianbei in central China, the large and small tribes within a radius of several hundred miles have all surrendered, the strongest opponent Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei is still thousands of miles away, so these Xianbei people who stayed in the clouds thought they were at ease, and some neglected to take precautions, so they were successfully attacked by the Wei army.
The old nest was taken care of, and the Xianbei army guarding the forage field naturally couldn't stand idly by, so they hurriedly dispatched a part of their troops to reinforce the Xianbei battalion.
Cao Liang led 10,000 cavalry to wait quietly on one side at this moment, they were only one or two miles away from the forage field, and the scene of the Xianbei cavalry galloping away saw in Cao Liang's eyes, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.
Cao Liang immediately ordered the Wei cavalry to divide into three routes and immediately attack.
At this time, there were still a lot of Xianbei troops left behind in the forage field, and because the movement there was too great, everyone was awakened, all of them were neatly clothed, and entered the state of battle.
Therefore, at this time, the attack of the Wei army no longer has the conditions for a sneak attack, so it can only launch a strong attack and rush inside at all costs.
In order to protect the safety of the forage field, these guards were waiting around the forage field, and in the face of the attack of the Wei army, they naturally formed a defensive line to block the Wei army's forward advance.
The cavalry led by Cao Liang is the Xiangyong recruited in the past two or three years, although it is known as the Xiangyong to the outside world, but when it comes to internal training, Cao Liang is completely in accordance with the training mode of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the war horse weapons equipped with this cavalry are exactly the same as the Yue Cavalry Battalion.
Although in terms of combat effectiveness, they could not be compared with the Vietnamese cavalry battalion, after two or three years of arduous training, their combat effectiveness has also been significantly improved.
Under the command of Cao Liang, the Wei cavalry marched out in three directions and launched the most fierce attack on the Xianbei people's defensive line.
Since the Xianbei people transferred nearly half of the men, their defense line must be much weaker than before, and in the face of the strong impact of the Wei army, it seemed a little inadequate.
What's more, it was still late at night, and under the dark night, the Xianbei people couldn't tell how many people there were in the Wei army, so they could only resist desperately, with loopholes on the left to make up for the left, and loopholes on the right to make up for the right, and they were very busy.
In this case, the defense line of the Xianbei people will eventually be loosened, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net to break through the defense line and enter the forage field.
Today's goal of Cao Liang is not to eliminate the Xianbei army stationed here, but to point to the piles of forage that are piled there, no different from the hills, which are almost the fodder for all the horses and sheep of Tuoba Xianbei in winter.
For a herds-based people, wintering fodder is above all else, only enough forage can ensure that the horses, sheep and cattle survive the winter, if these forages are gone, then a large number of horses, cattle and sheep will starve to death, and the survival of the tribe will also be threatened.
These forages are the weakness of the Xianbei people, that is, the seven inches that Huan Fan said, when the Wei cavalry attacked, everyone brought the fire and the things that ignited the fire, and after the individual cavalry rushed into the forage field, they did not hesitate to set fire.
These piles of hay are all hay that has already been dried, and the Wei cavalry only need to throw torches at the hay pile, and everything will be fine, so to speak, only one torch is needed to light a hay pile.
The fire rose brightly, illuminating a hundred feet of light.
The Xianbei people were horrified when they saw the forage field on fire, and many Xianbei cavalry rushed back desperately to try to extinguish the fires.
But this is doomed to be futile, all of this forage is flammable, once ignited, and then try to extinguish it, it is better to ascend to the sky.
The Xianbei people panicked, and the defensive positions were naturally more scattered, and the Wei cavalry seized the opportunity, and more people broke through this defense line and entered the forage field.
In this forage field, there are dozens of large and small piles of hay, and in order to prevent fires, each hay pile is not close to each other to ensure that one hay pile catches fire and the other hay piles are damaged.
After the Wei army broke through the defense line and came in, they lit the fire one by one, and this wave of operations was also extremely slippery, and these Wei soldiers acted separately and quickly set fire to all the piles of forage one by one.
When the fire burned to the sky, the scene was extremely spectacular, with flames and thick smoke, burning half of the sky into a red appearance.
Before the Xianbei soldiers who rescued the battalion arrived at the battalion, they saw the fire behind them, and they were all shocked and turned dirty, and it seemed that they had fallen for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
These Xianbei soldiers didn't care about going to the rescue camp anymore, they turned their horses' heads one by one, and galloped all the way in the direction of the forage field.
Obviously, this side of the hay field is more important than the big camp, but this sudden fire, once it burns, there is no hope of extinguishing it, and even if they can rush back, they can only be helpless, watching the mountain-like hay pile turn into piles of ashes.
