Chapter 835: Attack on the camp

Entered the city smoothly for the first time, even if they didn't have to ask others, looking at the messy footprints under their feet, Ye Qing and Mu Huali knew very well which direction the sun god Fars had gone.

What's more, the two of them will not communicate with the Khorezm people until now, just like two mutes, even if they eat and so on, they are all talking and analogizing, just like two people begging along the road called Hanako.

The camel was sold by the two to eat, although they also knew that they were cheated on the price, but fortunately, the camel was robbed, so they didn't care too much about how much they sold and how little they sold.

After the two of them were full of wine and food at night, they were like two tourists, although they would attract the eyes of others from time to time, but fortunately, this place already belonged to the border city, and the merchants of Liao and Xia could occasionally see it, so it did not attract the attention of other interested people.

In the center of the city, there is still a large stone complex, and the Zoroastrian flags and symbols above are extremely obvious, but the guards around it, apparently after the affairs of the city of Law, seem to have increased a lot at this moment, and the number of devout believers is much less, and the believers of Keman City are no longer allowed to enter at night.

Walking around the complex where the sun god Fars was staying, the two of them were lucky enough to book a room at the inn next to it, but they didn't have to look for it like a headless fly like in the city of law.

And the most commendable thing is that the people here treat them as yellow-skinned and black-eyed foreigners as much as they are in the city of law.

"Except for the place where the sun god Fars is, I can't see that there is a government office in other places, or is it better for us to guard the city gate?" After looking around the guest room, Mu Huali asked as he looked in the direction of the Zoroastrian flag looking outside from the window.

"From the camp where the Khorezm people confronted the Liao people to Keman, it will take nearly four hours at the earliest. In other words, if Temujin had launched an attack on the Khwarazmians before sunset today, as we had expected, then it would have been at least four hours before the city could get the news, and it would be dawn by then. Ye Qing turned around and said.

From the time he and Mu Huali began to set out from the ancient city of Kegu to the present, they have been non-stop and sleepless, and at first, every two hours, a team of scouts would be sent back to report to Temujin, but even so, it only bought Temujin less than half a day.

It can be imagined that if Ye Qing and the others were completely investigating the affairs of the three cities and one battalion, and then reported to Temujin in a unified manner, then the sun god at that time must have appeared in the camp of the Khorezmian people, and even began to mobilize the fifty or sixty thousand people to attack them, and they were caught off guard.

Mu Huali shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have been working tirelessly for several days, and in the end we are only half a day ahead of the enemy...... Fortunately, it is enough, otherwise, we would be passive. The last general admired...... Therefore, the last general has always thought that if you join forces with the Great Khan, you ....... ”

"Stop." Ye Qing smiled and waved his hand to stop Mu Huali's rebellion against him, and then continued to look out the window and said: "Right now, we need to think about how to let their internal chaos when Keman City receives the news of being attacked, so that Temujin and them can lead their army to sweep through this territory east of the Amu Darya River as if they were in a no-man's land." ”

"Shall we go out to explore again in the evening? How about seeing if there's a chance to get close to that sun god again? Mu Huali thought for a moment and then said, "But ...... How can we know that the Great Khan will inevitably launch an attack on the Khwarazmians after the sun sets today, and if the Great Khan is too late, you and the last general will be in danger, and the Khwarazmians will never be as easy to deal with as they are in the city of Ifah, they will definitely block the city gates, dig three feet into the ground and dig us out. ”

"You're right, everything needs to be built on ...... Before sunset today, Temujin will attack them, otherwise you and my lives will be really in danger. Ye Qing continued to look out the window and said.

Of course, he thought about using his rifle to take out Nafars with one shot after the sun god appeared early tomorrow morning.

But now the rifle is not with him at all, but in Mo Xiaobao's hands, not to mention that he doesn't want to use the rifle again in front of Temujin, thus bringing unnecessary trouble to himself.

I used it once when I rescued Sangkun with Temujin on the grassland, but Temujin only heard its sound and didn't see it, so presumably now, in Temujin's heart, the loud noise at the beginning should have been just a assault rifle owned only by Song Ting.

And this assault musket, he still knew it from the mouth of the young warden Lu You, before this, whether it was a firearm used by the Song people or the Jin people, its role was basically a weapon with arson as a means of killing, and no matter which one it was, it was inseparable from the assistance of cold weapons such as bows and crossbows, and they were all controlled by long-distance arson with the help of these.

It wasn't until Ye Qing scolded Lu You in front of Lu Youfu that he faintly learned that the Ordnance Superintendent had actually developed an assault rifle, that is, a real hot weapon with the concepts of projectiles and barrels.

It's just that bamboo is still used as a barrel, as well as some gun barrels made of copper, but although these are lethal, in Ye Qing's eyes, these things in the initial stage are more likely to delay the fighter on the battlefield, far less than when defending the city, they can have extra time to exert their power and effect is obvious.

So even after Ye Qing was promoted to privy envoy later, Ye Qing didn't have the idea of fighting the assault rifle, after all, when fighting horses, the convenience of the bow and crossbow was not comparable to the assault rifle.

So even after Mo Xiaobao excitedly hinted several times, Ye Qing finally gave up the assault rifle on this expedition to the west, in addition to not believing it, there was also a reason that he faintly felt that he would have a battle with Temujin sooner or later, maybe he would take it out at that time, and he would be able to get the effect he wanted.

Mo Xiaobao led 5,000 people who had no commander and only he, the deputy commander, and according to the battle plan that Temujin had assigned to him before, after sounding a whimpering horn in the vast grassland, he rushed towards the camp of the Khwarazm people who were lit up in the dark night like a flood bursting the embankment.

Before the sun set, whether it was his Mo Xiaobao's troops, or Temujin's troops, as well as the troops of the field battles and begging stone martyrs who had caught up later, they all sent scouts to investigate the terrain route that their troops were going to attack after the sun set.

Therefore, at this time, the four troops at the same time from the grassland shrouded in the vast night, silently lurking to a distance enough to attack the Khorezmians, the torches were instantly lit together, and 25,000 people attacked the camp of the Khorezmians like divine soldiers, just like a storm, wrapped in a fierce murderous aura and the sound of fighting that pierced the night sky, and launched an attack on the camp from four places.

Arson with bows and crossbows has become a regular means for cavalry to attack the barracks at night, so the archers on horseback, at this moment, the arrows in their hands are burning with flames the size of fists, with the order of Mo Xiaobao and others.

Then on the grassland at night, the arrows with fist-sized flames in their hands were like a meteor shower, drawing a perfect arc in the night sky, and then fell on the camp tent and grain and grass of the Khorezm people.

Especially the stable, which was the direction of Mo Xiaobao's main attack this time, so when the second wave of arrows with fist-sized flames fell, the entire Nuoda stable was instantly filled with the neighing of war horses throughout the night sky, which was naturally mixed with the panicked cries of the soldiers of the Khorezm people.

Mo Xiaobao had already divided his troops into two groups, one group of Song people was responsible for destroying the stables of the Khorezmians, while the rest of the Tatar subordinates were directly charged into it from one of the exits of the camp with him, so as to prevent the enemy from finding the war horse in a short time, and then form an effective blocking force.

On the night of July 17 in the first year of Shaoxi, no one would have thought that the camp of the Khorezm people was suddenly attacked by the Liao people, who had always been mainly defensive, and the momentum was still so huge.

With the success of the sneak attack of Temujin and others, the Khorezmian people in the camp did not even react at all, and the only Khwarazmian soldiers who were fully armored to guard the camp could not cause any damage to the charging cavalry.

What's more, just now there were several waves of beautiful, but extremely lethal arrows with flames, which had made them lose their ability to think in an instant, so before they could react and call for help, report, and gather troops to resist, the beautiful and deadly arrow rain had just fallen down, and the enemy's iron cavalry had already broken through the first and only shallow ditch outside the camp to block the war horses, and rushed to them in the blink of an eye.

With their sharp knives, sharp spears, and merciless arrows, the Khwarazmians did not know whether they were stabbed to death by spears, shot by arrows, or hacked to death by the enemy's waist knives before they died.

It seemed that at the same time, countless cavalry appeared in all directions, and the entire battalion fell into extreme panic in an instant, and the generals of the Khorezmian people, even if they roared through their throats, could not gather the panicked soldiers.

And there are some generals who just opened their mouths before they could speak, and there was an extra sharp spear blade in their mouths, or their mouths were instantly pierced by arrows, or their heads watched their bodies slowly fall.

The sound of crying fathers and mothers was everywhere in the whole camp, and in the face of the cavalry that suddenly seemed to pour into the camp from all directions, as swift as the wind, and did not love to fight, they did not have time to react, and the enemy did not seem to come to slaughter, but to break through the entire camp, and killing people seemed to be done easily.

But even so, where the hordes of cavalry often skimmed, the soldiers of the Khorezm who escaped the first calamity were targeted by the second wave of cavalry that followed closely before they could rejoice, and the cavalry galloped wildly, and as the horses swept through the flaming camp, the Khorezmians fell like wheat.

At the Chinese military tent of the Khorezm people, the boss turned around and looked around, the fire in the sky made him feel like he was in a sea of fire, and his scalp was numb for a while, even if he wanted to lead his soldiers to rush out, but looking at the surrounding fires, he didn't know which direction to rush in for a while.

Originally, he was still imagining in his mind that once the sun god arrived at the camp tomorrow evening, after giving himself and all the soldiers under his command the blessing of the gods, he would finally be able to lead everyone to fight against the Liao, and then he would definitely be famous.

But who would have thought that he did not wait until tomorrow evening to arrive at the camp of the sun god Fars, but waited for the cavalry of the Liao people to take the initiative to attack, and at this moment his ears were full of screams, begging for mercy, crying, and the screams that made him want to cry but couldn't.

"My lord, you see there's no fire over there." The soldier pointed to the direction where there was no fire in the far distance.

The commander looked in the direction of his soldiers' fingers, and saw that it was pitch black and silent, but it was like a giant beast opening its mouth and waiting for them to come to the door.

"We're going to get out anyway. How many people can be gathered, give my orders, and rush out with me. The boss turned over on his horse for the first time, and then looked around at the sound of shouting and killing, and it was getting closer and closer to him, and his own soldiers around him were like the hind legs of the tide at the moment, and those Liao cavalry were slashing and killing arrows on horseback, killing if they could, and continuing to gallop forward if they couldn't.

At that moment, the scene that could be seen from the firelight was enough to show that the only purpose of the enemy army was to come to his tent here, so he no longer hesitated whether there was an ambush in the dark gap in the distance, and when he gave an order, he led the hundreds of people gathered in a hurry, like a gust of wind, and no longer paid attention to the cries for help from his soldiers when he passed by, and he just wanted to escape from the dark place immediately.

Zhong Silkworm wanted to rush into the camp of the Khorezmian people with him, but Temujin's order was to let him hold on to the gap in the camp where there was no fire, and instead let Borshu lead his Tatars and plunge into the barracks to kill them.

Guarded by hundreds of soldiers, Temujin was like a beast at the top of the steppe food chain, and the bright light of the fire in the distance shone on his face, and his deep expression and determined eyes made it impossible for people to guess what was going on in his heart at this moment.

"Great Khan, it looks like someone is going to break through the exit you deliberately set up." Zhong Silkworm watched the heralds run back and forth, and then rode to Temujin and said.

"Let go of the main general of the Khorezmians, and I will deal with you with Temujin's military law, but if you kill the main general of the Khorezmian people, I Temujin will personally ask you for credit in front of Ye Qing. But you have to remember that you must let them go back to report the news, so that they will panic and will not be distracted from looking for traces of your adults. ”

"The last general thanks the Great Khan, and the last general obeys the order." Zhong Silkworm saluted Temujin, and then turned the horse's head with a neat rein in one hand: "Kill me with me." ”

There was no loud screaming, but the firm and cold tone was not weaker than the roar, and there was even a faint sense of confident domineering and killing intent!

Temujin looked at Zhong Silkworm's back with admiration, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up: "Ye Qing is really a blessing, there are two young, promising, brave and resourceful subordinates like Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm by his side, and he is loyal to him Ye Qing and has no second thoughts, which really makes me jealous." ”

There are not many people who can escape from the dark gap, and Zhong Silkworm obviously does not need to go into battle in person, but just tightly guards the route to Keman City, and then watches the army of the flower grower step forward to block the enemy, and it is enough to fight selectively.

The firelight on both sides is still soaring to the sky, so at this time, every move of the flower planting army on the battlefield has all fallen in the eyes of Temujin, I have to say that Ye Qing secretly threw the flower planting army to the grassland to experience training, and indeed trained a brave army no less than Mu Huali and Borshu in the hands of soldiers and horses.

But in Temujin's eyes, the five thousand kinds of Hua family army were not enough to pose a threat to him, after all, only more than 3,000 of them were soldiers of the same age as Mo Xiaobao, and the rest were some veterans in their forties and fifties.

But he also knew that if Ye Qing realized the age balance of the Flower Planter Army and the problem of too few people, then in the future, the Flower Planter Army would inevitably be his big rival.
