Chapter 2 (31) The Battle of Nanguan (Part 4)

Just now, he was a village warrior who was not even a soldier, and in the blink of an eye, he became a captain of the guard army who led hundreds of people, Shang Cheng only felt a rush of blood rushing up to his head, and clenched the hammer and burst out two words from between his teeth: "Obey!" He turned around and lifted the hammer and shouted, "Follow me if you are not afraid of death!" ”

The soldiers who withdrew from the C-shaped battalion saw that General Li had killed several officers in the blink of an eye, and they were both trembling and frightened. Zhao Shishi and Shi Chang, surnamed Bao, reacted quickly, and the two of them stood up together with a straight knife in their hands and shouted angrily: "I'm afraid of a mother!" "Spread your legs and get over. When everyone saw that someone was taking the lead, and saw two teams of guards with bright armor throwing torches from the two sides of the walled gate, they suddenly had a lot of courage in their hearts, shouted in unison, turned around and went to chase Shang Cheng Zhao Shi and them.

will go out of the gate, and a series of orders have been passed down one after another.

"Silence, don't light torches, go forward in the dark!"

"The archers spread out along the wings."

"Crossbowmen come forward, crossbow arrows ready."

……

It was the beginning of the hour, and a crescent moon in the night sky was hidden behind dark clouds, and the cool moonlight shone through the clouds, illuminating a small piece of blue-white sky, and even the edge of the dark cloud was stained with a touch of white frost. The ground was dim, except for the fire in front of the old camp in Nanguan, there were dark and hazy shadows everywhere. More than 300 people quietly hid at the side gate of the C-shaped camp, and because there was no order, they did not dare to move, and they all hid among the shadows of the grass and trees. Shang Cheng, together with Zhao Shibao, and two guard sentinels, arrived closer to observe, and saw that there were only three or two torches on the wall, and the shadows were enough to see a few sentinels. Shang Cheng took a look at the situation on the wall, and was thinking about it, and a guard sentry next to him had already whispered a suggestion: "The Turbidians are not densely defended, they definitely didn't expect us to come back and let the soldiers spread out one by one, take a ladder to climb the wall, and ...... after seizing the gate of the wall."

Shang Cheng didn't listen to his words at all, pursed his lips and squinted his eyes, looked at the quiet camp dozens of steps away and just groaned, and suddenly said: "Let all the archers come forward and surround the gate from both sides." The teams scattered to both sides to lay ambushes to make way for them. He stared deeply at the suggesting sentry commander, "Bring your men over and prepare to charge with me." Then he ordered, "Do whatever I want!" Everyone is ready to fight! He pointed to another sentry chief and the chief surnamed Bao to explain, "When you do it, you must be ruthless, fast, and regardless of the cost!" ”

The order was given without a head and no brain, and the sentinel who came up with the idea was about to speak, when the colleague next to him suddenly said: "Whisper, the gate of the village is open!" When I turned my head to look, I only heard a slight creaking sound of the door shaft rubbing, and the side door of the C-shaped camp had been opened.

The sentry commander stared at the black pressure on a large group of enemy troops pouring out of the camp, opened his mouth, but said nothing, grunted and spit, turned around and went to greet his own soldiers.

The general of the Turbidium is exactly the same as Shang Cheng's idea of stealing camps. He thought that since the two sides were in a stalemate in front of the old camp in Nanguan, he suddenly hit a guy on the flank of the Zhao army, which would definitely catch the Zhao army off guard; Besides, the Zhao army is not strong enough, and it must not be able to take care of both ends, he and his own people in front of him are so flanked, and the defeat of the Zhao people is only an instant thing. Therefore, he personally led 400 elite soldiers to attack the old camp of the Zhao army. In order not to make Zhao Jun suspicious, he also specially ordered the silence and fire in the C-shaped camp, and even the torches on the wall were not too many.

The 400 soldiers lined up in three columns, didn't even hear a cough, and quietly went out of the C-shaped battalion, and went straight to the old camp of the Zhao army in Nanguan in the dark.

Shang Cheng and dozens of guards hid behind a bush of basil on the side of the road, carefully observing the enemy's movements almost face-to-face. He held his breath and watched the enemy pass thirty or forty rows, and then he saw a military flag rolled up in the queue, and his eyes swept to the left, and he immediately found a general wearing a leather helmet and iron armor. That's it! He straightened his waist and rushed out, and before he could stand up, the hammer had already been picked up, and he drew a half circle from his side to the front of him, and ran above the officer's head with a whining wind......

The commander who led the team was full of thoughts on the old camp of the Zhao army, and he never thought that he would encounter an ambush at the gate of his camp, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow emerging from the side of the road out of the corner of his eye.

The soldiers in front and behind were afraid of making a slight noise, so they all concentrated on paying attention to their feet, and when they heard a muffled "poof" sound and looked again, the general was holding a collapsed and deflated head like rotten fruit, and his body was shaky, and then in a blink of an eye, he saw a tall and big Zhao soldier standing in the queue holding a hammer that was not like a hammer or a hammer, and he was stunned for a while, not understanding what was happening.

"Kill!"

With this spring thunder-like explosion, the people of Tuqi heard a series of dense and urgent bowstring crossbow arm trembling sounds, dozens of arrows and crossbows smashed over their heads and faces, and then countless Zhao Jun jumped out of the ravines in the grass under the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road, shouting and shouting in their mouths to cover up, arrows and knives and guns poked, and in the blink of an eye, the people fell to the ground.

In their ignorance, dozens of soldiers were cut down by their heads, and only then did they remember to form a formation to resist, and a few petty officers desperately shouted to let the team concentrate, but there were Zhao troops everywhere, where would they leave a chance? At this time, their main general had already given his life, and the military flag was also snatched away by the Zhao army in the chaos, and in the darkness, I didn't know how many people the Zhao army came, and they only heard the sound of shouting and killing in front and back, and there were swords and guns on the left and right, and I didn't know who howled in despair, and immediately blew up the camp. These Zhao troops were all brave and abnormal, shouting and echoing the front and back interception, and immediately cut the troops into several sections, and they couldn't care about each other. For a time, the road was full of shouts of killing, scolding, greetings, screams, and the sound of iron tools when the blades intersected......

When the soldiers in the camp heard the shouting and killing, they knew that they had fallen into the ambush of the Zhao army, and the deputy general gathered a hundred and ten horse cavalry to go out to the rescue, who knew that because the ambush of the Zhao people was set up at the gate of the camp, there were still one hundred and ten black feather big tent soldiers who went to attack the old camp of the Zhao army and failed to get out of the camp. By the time he waved his horsewhip and finally drove away this group of big tent soldiers who were anxious to participate in the battle, a team of Zhao soldiers had already blocked the gate of the village. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Zhao soldiers rushed forward, and six or seven arrows and four or five crossbows shot off the deputy general and three or four cavalrymen at the head of the platoon.

The hammer in Shang Cheng's hand had disappeared in the melee, and now he was carrying a curled bladed cutlass in his hand, leading a team of soldiers to kill the enemy soldiers at the gate of the village, and asked Zhao Shishi to lead people to seize the wall, turned around and slashed the head of the two places with a knife that was held by Bao Shi Chang with a scimitar, wiped the blood on his face, looked at the black and slimy more than a dozen large warehouses and small warehouses in the distance, and ordered: "Don't chase the rout soldiers outside the city, let our people enter the camp immediately!" Let the two sentinels come to me at once. You take a team of people and go and order all the grain depots......"

"......" Bao Shichang blinked his eyes and didn't move, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If you burn the grain depot, I'm afraid that General Li won't be able to spare you." ”

Shang Cheng threw away the scimitar in his hand, took the straight knife from the hand of Yixiang Yong next to him, rubbed his fingers on the edge of the blade, and didn't look at Bao Shichang: "I have to spare it." This is my command, you go. Of course, he knew what the consequences would be if he burned tens of thousands of stone of grain in the granaries of the camp without authorization. But he couldn't be sure if he could really recapture the C-shaped battalion, and second, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could hold it after recapturing it, rather than giving these tens of thousands of stone grain to the Tuqi people in vain, it was better to burn it cleanly, and he could also cut off the enemy's food supply one by one, and the army was fighting outside the country, and it was a light attack, and the grain was definitely insufficient. When the time comes, the horse will be gone, the straw man will be gone, and the food will not be able to run if you want to......

The two sentinels received the order and led their men into the camp, and when they saw him standing in front of the gate of the fortress with his sword, they hurried over and made a fist and saluted in the chest. Both of them were overjoyed, shaking their eyebrows and smacking their lips to report their achievements.

"What about the casualties?"

Of the two outposts of one hundred and forty-four, eleven were killed and forty-seven wounded, but compared to the losses of the Turks, this casualty was nothing to mention. The first sentinel to make the suggestion was already grinning to the root of his ears, and said with a smile: "The people of Tuqi are not to mention the two hundred dead and wounded, and they are all big tent soldiers wearing brown armor. I also found the body of a great Samu, the people and armor were moved back, and the banner of Samu was also brought back, but unfortunately no one here knew the banner of the Tu Tu people, and for a while it was impossible to tell which of the great Samu died. ”

"Have you brought back all the wounded soldiers?"

The sentry's face turned red. Another sentry said, "I've brought them all back." ”

"The lightly injured stayed, and the seriously injured were sent to the old camp. The big and small ones were also sent over. Shang Cheng saw that Zhao Shishi had already run over with a knife, and he knew that the exhausted soldiers at the head of the Walled Gate had also been solved, and he didn't wait for Zhao Shishi to come over, so he said to the two sentinels, "Now is not the time to talk about Gong." The enemy is in formation, and we can't give them this opportunity. I've sent someone to burn down the warehouse. Twenty people were left here to guard, and the rest of the people continued to fight in three ways towards the main gate. Each of you led his own soldiers along the wall to the main gate, and I led the soldiers of the C-shaped battalion to fight through the middle; The roads are connected by horns. Remember, don't go deeper, go hand in hand, and push the people out of the camp one by one is victory! ”
