"Jie Shuai, the Tiance Army has taken precautions."

Looking at the Tiance Army camp with countless torches flashing in the distance, Zheng Junxiong reminded.

"I know."

Gao Renhou glanced at Zheng Junxiong lightly, he is not blind, such an obvious firelight, can't he see that he needs to be reminded by the other party?

At this moment, the scouts sent out by Gao Renhou to reconnoiter suddenly came to report, "Commander Qiqi, cavalry has appeared on the left and right flanks of the enemy camp. Since the sky is too dark to see the number of enemy cavalry, please make a clear decision. ”

"Cavalry?" Hearing the news from the scouts, Gao Renhou couldn't help but glance at the Tiance Army camp in the distance, "This Shou King is quite smart. ”

Originally, he planned to send the army to take advantage of the cover of night to touch the flank of the Tiance Army camp to sneak attack. But now that Li Ye sent cavalry to suppress the formation, his idea could not be realized, which meant that he could only change his plan.

Fortunately, he is not a dull person, and he will make corresponding changes with the changes on the battlefield.

"General Zhao and General Chen, you led your troops and horses to attack the enemy camp on the left front and right front respectively. Remember, our task is only to find out the reality of the enemy, the situation is not right, immediately retreat, do not fall in love with the battle. ”

Gao Renhou immediately instructed the two generals beside him.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the two well-armored generals rode away.

These two people were not his people, but the generals of Nishikawa.

In this trial, the coalition forces dispatched a total of 12,000 people, Dongchuan dispatched 6,000 people, and Xichuan dispatched 6,000 people. Because Gao Renhou needed to defend Mianzhou, he didn't dare to send too many troops, if it was during the day, he naturally didn't dare to attack this person, but now it was night.

Night battles, very passive for the defender. Because you don't know how many enemies there are in the dark, and even if you repel an incoming enemy, you don't dare to pursue them. Gao Renhou took advantage of this convenience, so he dared to attack in the rain at night.

Since the enemy will also be worried that they are attacking with all their might, they will definitely go all out to ensure that the large camp is not breached, which can undoubtedly help Gao Renhou test the reality of the Tiance army.

"Zheng Tingshi, let's go too, I want to see if this Tiance army camp is impregnable!"

"Yes, Jie Shuai!"

Under Gao Renhou's orders, the army began to move, and when the flank army was in place, he gave a loud order, "Beat the drums, attack!" ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dull and rousing drumming sounded in the dark night, and it was exciting to listen to. The 1,000 crossbowmen quickly lined up a phalanx one hundred and ninety paces away from the Tiance army's camp, and the shield bearers in front of them stood in front to protect the 1,000-bow crossbowmen.

The Dongchuan military's bow and crossbow is a Zhangzhang crossbow, with a range of two hundred and thirty paces, and a distance of one hundred and ninety steps can maximize the power of the Zhangzhang crossbow, and cover a considerable area inside and outside the Tiance army camp.

However, this distance is not safe, and the Tiance Army also has crossbows, and even Fuyuan crossbows, the latter of which has a range of up to three hundred paces. And according to the generals who came back from Jianzhou, the Tiance Army also has a longer range trebuchet that can fire stone projectiles.

Shields certainly don't do much in the face of stone bullets, but they can block some arrows and reduce the casualties of crossbowmen.

As the drums became louder and louder, Gao Renhou gave an order, and a thousand sharp arrows broke away from the bow and crossbow, and the mixed rain shot towards the Tiance army camp like a storm. A large number of arrows were blocked by the fence and shield, but a few arrows still passed through the gaps in the shield and hit some of the unlucky ones.

Suddenly there was a scream in the camp, and under the command of the officer, the soldiers next to him hurriedly held their shields to block the gap, and asked the other soldiers to carry the wounded soldiers away.

Don't look at the more than 40,000 troops in the big battalion, but there are many logistics soldiers like medical soldiers. Although there are few soldiers who can fight, the strong medical support capacity can save these wounded soldiers as much as possible.

Whether in ancient times or in later generations, veterans are the cornerstone of a strong army. But how did the veteran come? In addition to those who survived on the battlefield hill and were not injured, those soldiers who recovered from injuries accounted for a lot.

In the short term, Li Ye's troops will suffer a lot, but as more wounded soldiers are rescued and returned to the team smoothly, the proportion of veterans in the army will increase, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army will also increase significantly.

Although some arrows hit the soldiers of the Tiance Army in the large battalion, the whole team did not panic, everything was going according to the daily drill, but the actual combat drill was in front of them.

After a few rounds of arrows, Gao Renhou gave the order to attack, and soon the phalanx of 5,000 pikemen and sword and shield soldiers began to advance rapidly towards the Tiance army camp.

"Launch!"

Li Hong looked at the enemy troops who were constantly approaching the battalion, and immediately gave an order.

The crossbowmen of the Tiance Army, who received the order, quickly prepared, and with a sharp arrow Tori crossbow, a rain of arrows larger than the previous enemy appeared in the black sky.

The enemy also found the arrows flying in, and at the beginning they could still see the dense rain of arrows, but as the arrows merged with the black, and the sound of the rain was masked, they could only subconsciously raise their shields.

A Dongchuan soldier heard a strange sound, guessed that it might be an arrow, and shrank his whole body under the shield. Suddenly, an arrow pierced his shield, and the soldier was startled at the sight of the iron arrow less than an inch away from his eyes, and if he had done it with more force.

He didn't really jump, though, and the arrows that pierced his shield weren't alone, but with a large group of accomplices.

He was lucky, although the arrow pierced his bamboo shield, it didn't hurt him, but the others were not so lucky.

Dense arrows rained down on where they were, and as he crouched down to rejoice, screams rang from all around. They mostly use bamboo shields, few wooden shields, and almost no iron shields, and it is difficult for bamboo shields to effectively protect their safety in the face of the rain of arrows in the wind and rain.

He turned his head and saw that most of the people around him were lying on the ground wailing, and very few were unharmed.

The powerful crossbow arrows of the Tiance Army terrified the attacking army, and just as they were about to retreat, the officers behind them were urging them to charge with swords. As long as you rush in front of the camp of the Tiance Army, the opponent's crossbow arrows will be useless.

Just as the Dongchuan army stood up and continued to move forward, the second and third rounds of arrow rain hit again.

Seeing the officers behind them who were supervising the battle with swords, and then looking at the rain of arrows, these soldiers knew that only by rushing forward could they have a chance to live.

After the Dongchuan army paid a heavy price, it finally rushed to the camp fence, and the Tiance army, which had been waiting for a long time, took a neat step and held a spear to meet these invading enemies.

Several rounds of arrow rain attacks also caused a lot of losses to the Dongchuan army, and the scale of the battle in front of the camp gate was not as large as imagined. However, after the Tiance army's attention was attracted by the Dongchuan army in front, the two armies of Xichuan attacked the Tiance army on the left and right flanks of the Dongchuan army.

Dozens of Xichuan soldiers brandished ropes to wrap the wooden fence, and then hundreds of cavalrymen took the ropes and tied them to their horses, brandishing their whips to make the horses run wild in the opposite direction.

In the neighing of the war horses, the wooden fence more than one zhang high collapsed, and there was a gap dozens of zhang wide in this position, and thousands of Xichuan troops were led by cavalry, following their generals to rush into the Tiance army camp.

The shouts of killing in the camp shook the sky, and almost at the same time, Li Hong and Liu Qi both got the enemy to attack the camp from other places.

Li Hong's face suddenly changed greatly, and when he saw that the place where his troops were stationed was full of fire, he immediately ordered his subordinates to fight in front of the camp, and he at least quickly came to Li Ye's big tent.

"Your Highness, the enemy has attacked the camp, please take refuge for the time being." Li Hong said anxiously.

"Do you want this king to be a turtle with a shrunken head? Isn't it just that a small group of enemy troops rushed in taking advantage of the chaos, as for such a fuss? The king is here and watching. Li Ye said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Hong's face was embarrassed, and seeing Li Ye's firm attitude, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

"Come with me!" Li Hong yelled at the people around him.

At this time, the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the moon had long since lost sight of where it had gone. The drizzle was still dripping underground, and there was already stagnant water in front of the big tent, and the battlefield not far away, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and blood stains mixed with the rain flowed on the ground.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't stop them from fighting. However, the Tiance army was fighting at home, and it had an advantage in numbers, and as the Xichuan army that broke into the camp was strangled by the incoming Tiance army, the Tiance army gradually gained the upper hand.

The rain in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain has begun to affect the vision, and the shouting and killing in the distance has gradually weakened. Although the casualties were large, Gao Renhou also discovered the layout and weaknesses of the Tiance Army's camp from the previous battles.

"Beat the drums, retreat!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

Hearing the drums of retreat, the coalition forces quickly retreated like a tide, and as for the comrades who remained on the ground, they did not care, leaving their bodies washed away by the rain.

Seeing the retreating enemy troops, Li Hong wanted to chase them out, but Li Ye's order to collect his troops came immediately, and he could only give up.

。。。。。。

"Gao Shuai, is this the temptation you are talking about? Let us lose 3,000 people in Xichuan, 6,000 people go out, and only 3,000 come back.

If you want to come a few more times, we in Xichuan will have to explain here. ”

Seeing the scarred withdrawal of his subordinates, Dongchuan's generals were also a little dissatisfied, so they attacked the initiator of the sneak attack, --- Gao Renhou.

"Just how many dead and wounded you Xichuan are? Are we Dongchuan less dead? We came back with less than two thousand people. Zheng Junxiong immediately retorted.

Li Shun's face was also a little ugly, and he glanced at Gao Renhou, "Gao Shuai, I don't know how you studied the layout of the Tiance Army camp?" So many people died, but they couldn't die in vain. ”

I wish everyone a happy Shangyuan (Lantern Festival), I heard that there is an electronic fireworks show in Chengdu, but unfortunately I can't go back to work. Thank you for the reward of the flying fish.
