Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World Forty-nine, both plans are successful
The current situation should be the biggest humiliation that Ji Ling has ever suffered.
Just now, a subordinate reported that someone had launched arrows to attack the camp.
Ji Ling hurriedly dressed up neatly, and as soon as he came out of the tent, an arrow flew and shot through the tent beside him.
If even your own Chinese army tent can be shot by the enemy, it means that the other party should have attacked the camp.
But Ji Ling looked around, but he didn't see a single enemy.
In his doubts, one of the soldiers beside him pointed to the distance outside the camp.
Ji Ling put his hand on the pergola and looked over, only to notice that there was a team of five or six hundred foot soldiers there.
It's too much of a deception!
Such a few people actually dared to come here to harass, how could Ji Ling swallow this breath.
He looked at the arrows and sneered.
On the other side must be a recruit, and the arrows fired are powerless and disorganized.
The time of the arrow's arrival was completely different, which shows how incompetent the person in command on the opposite side is.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow suddenly grazed Ji Ling again, knocking down a soldier behind him.
"Bastard!"
Ji Lingden scolded at the time.
It seems that the opposite side is not full of recruits, but a few can use bows.
However, it is not a way to go on like this, even if the arrows on the opposite side are no longer accurate, but due to the intensity, more than a dozen soldiers on their side are still shot.
Ji Ling immediately ordered all the 3,000 cavalry to follow him out of the camp and cut down all the enemies on the opposite side who did not know whether they were alive or dead.
……
Looking at the cavalry on the opposite side out of the camp, Cao Xing smiled with satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal the archers of the Shenbow Battalion to continue to "release arrows".
Ji Ling didn't know that it was actually very difficult for the Divine Bow Battalion to do this.
Accustomed to accurate marksmanship, the only way to disguise themselves as if they didn't know how to bow and arrow at all was to half-draw the bowstring and turn their heads to look behind them.
While Ji Ling was scolding, the archers of the Shenbow Battalion were laughing while indiscriminately releasing arrows.
If Ji Ling knew the facts, he would probably be to death.
In fact, only the two arrows that hit Ji Ling's side were released by Cao Xing, after all, if there was no threat at all, Ji Ling might just order to hide in the tent.
As mentioned before, the advantage of cavalry is speed.
Of course, Cao Xing would not procrastinate, and after another "random shooting" by the Shengong Battalion, he immediately ordered to start retreating.
The distance left for them to run is not long, but it is enough.
Because not far ahead, there is a trap that was laid the night before.
Cao Xing's Shenbow battalion ran regularly in the gaps of those mounds, bypassing the traps and continuing to retreat. And Ji Ling's cavalry charged with all their might, and many cavalry directly climbed the mound and jumped over.
It's just that, after crossing the mound, they saw a chilling sight.
The backsides of those mounds were all dug straight up. And behind that, there are still some enemy troops hidden, which are not visible from the front.
The men waited quietly with spears in hand.
And that's not the most surprising to them, though.
The moment the horse's hooves hit the ground after jumping over the mound, the cavalry knew it was bad, because the soft ground could only represent one thing - a pit.
The cavalrymen were terrified, and they knew that there were usually sharp logs in the pits, and if they rushed down at such speed, they would inevitably die.
However, to their surprise, the pit was very small, and after the horse fell, the cavalry above did not fall into it, but fell to the ground on the side.
However, before they had time to rejoice, they felt hopeless again.
Because at the same time as they fell, the ambush soldiers who had been waiting for the right moment made a move.
The fallen cavalryman didn't even have time to fight when he was stabbed with a shot.
It's just that they are unfortunate, these ambushes are all new recruits, and although they have been on the battlefield, they are still a little flustered.
Although many cavalrymen were stabbed, they were not killed immediately, but only for a moment, because the soldiers next to them immediately made up for it.
……
Although it was not known what was happening, the cavalry in front of them disappeared after jumping over the mound, and there were constant screams, and everyone knew that something was wrong.
Ji Ling hurriedly stopped the people behind him.
At this time, the Shengong battalion had already run a distance of about 100 paces, and Cao Xing also ordered to stop, and at the same time, all the archers all mounted their bows and began to shoot in real life.
For the Divine Bow Battalion, the hundred-step distance does not matter at all.
They have a natural sensitivity to the wind, and after adjusting the angle slightly, the first volley begins.
Only then did Ji Ling know that he had been tricked, because this salvo was not at the same level as before.
Neat, swift and without leaving gaps.
He used his three-pointed, two-edged knife to desperately shoot down the three arrows that were shooting at him, but he heard the sound of his subordinates falling from his horses behind him.
They were all shot in the throat, and they couldn't even scream. And the reason why they fell from their horses was not because they were killed, but because they were carried down by the strong force of the arrows.
"Withdraw!" Since it is impossible to advance, staying here will only become a target for the archers on the opposite side.
"Ji Ling!" Cao Xing saw that Ji Ling was leaving, and hurriedly yelled.
Ji Ling can't be let go back yet, because Cao Xing wants to buy time for the sneak attack troops.
"When I came here a while ago, General Lu remembered that you were loyal and brave, and he had already let you go once. Why are you so unappreciative that you dare to come here! ”
"Whew! Lu Bu'er, I don't care about it, what kind of thing are you! The previous time was a large number of generals, give him a thin face, how dare you make a big deal about this here? Come on, come on, fight alone with your Grandpa Ji, and see if I don't break you into pieces! ”
"Whoosh!"
"Ding!"
Ji Ling was yelling, and Cao Xuan suddenly had another arrow.
Ji Ling, with years of reaction, blocked it with a knife.
"Shameless boy! Dare to release cold arrows! ”
"Hehe, I'm just an archer, if I don't shoot you with arrows, can I use the bowstring to whip you?"
"Hahahaha!" In a word, the soldiers of the Divine Bow Battalion all burst into laughter.
"Rats! Death! Ji Ling couldn't swallow this breath no matter what, he roared angrily and stepped forward.
It's just that although he is angry, he is not reckless.
When he was stationed on his horse, he had already discovered that when Cao Xing's archers retreated, they all walked around those mounds.
So, he also took the horse on a detour from the mound.
As soon as they passed a mound, the recruits who were lying in ambush on either side stabbed their spears. Two guns on one side, four guns stabbed at both sides of Ji Ling at the same time.
Ji Ling didn't even look at it, and pulled the reins of the horse to the left with his hand, and the war horse immediately spun in place.
And Ji Ling took advantage of the strength of this whirlwind and swung the big knife twice.
In the first round, all four spears were interrupted; In the second lap, four heads hit the ground.
The recruits in the distance stared blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Four headless corpses fell, blood still spurting from their necks, and the fear of death was unbearable.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Cao Xing knew that if the morale of the recruits collapsed at this time, it would be all over, so he immediately started shooting three arrows in a row.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Poof!"
This time, Ji Ling only fired two arrows.
The next moment, he felt a soft step, and hurriedly jumped away from the war horse and fell to the ground.
The horse was shot in the eye, straight into the back of the head, and was already dead.
Cao Xing's three arrows were aimed at Ji Ling's throat, front heart, and the eyes of the war horse.
Ji Ling protected himself, so naturally he couldn't protect the mount.
Cao Xuan slowly put down the hand holding the bow, and slowly spoke: "General Ji, instead of fighting here and breaking the net, why don't you and I each make a step?" ”
After speaking, he motioned for the recruits who were in ambush to slowly retreat behind him, and smiled at Ji Ling.
If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to win, anyway, it's to buy time, and it's better to move your mouth than to do it.
……
In fact, just when Ji Ling's cavalry had just begun to jump over the mound, the battle on the side of the big camp had also begun.
After watching Ji Ling's 3,000 cavalry walk away, the 800 recruits who came in a roundabout way launched an attack on the remaining foot soldiers from the side.
Of course, they will not fight the enemy head-on, but instead build momentum.
Now they finally understood the use of the wicker bundles they had taken with them when they left the city.
When running towards the camp of Ji Ling, the eight hundred recruits worked in pairs, the front holding torches and shouting with all their might, and the back being responsible for dragging a bundle of wicker to raise smoke.
Between each group, there are about five paces apart, so that a formation of thousands of people is created.
This trick did work, and the footmen who stayed behind believed it and immediately became chaotic.
In their opinion, they had completely fallen for the enemy's plan, and hundreds of men led all the cavalry out, and the enemy's army was now attacking here.
2,000 men and horses, once there is a riot, it is difficult to control it again.
And under the panic, the combat power is greatly reduced.
When the recruits threw away the wicker bundles and rushed into the Ji Ling camp, all the Ji Ling infantry only cared about the enemy in front of them, and no one would count how many people there were on the other side.
Once the posture of a large-scale attack is created, the enemy will be completely convinced.
Ji Ling's foot soldiers are like this now, they are convinced of the fact that the enemy is several times their own.
And the result of this is that there is no intention to fight and the army cannot be formed.
If they are a little calmer, they will understand that the purpose of the other party's fire in broad daylight must be to burn the baggage.
In fact, Cao Xing was afraid that the other party would find out at first, but the battle had to be chosen during the day. If it was night, Ji Ling couldn't see how many people there were on his side, so he wouldn't have taken the liberty of attacking.
But fortunately, the momentum created by the smoke and dust was enough to make the other party panic, and this sneak attack was successful.
These recruits tasted victory again, but Cao Xing also told him that if the other party fled, they should not pursue, but only burn the grain and grass and withdraw immediately.
……
Wu Zheng and Meng Qiang were also in the team for this sneak attack.
But I have to say that Meng Qiang has experienced two battles, but he has never killed anyone, and now, his heart is being tested.
An enemy who tried to escape fell, and Meng Qiang just raised his gun to catch up, but looking at the other party, he couldn't make a move.
"Don't! Don't kill me! The enemy, who looked about his size, was now pleading with horror.
"Let's go." Meng Qiang put down his gun and turned to walk away.
"Whew!"
"Poof!"
"Ahh
Meng Qiang heard the voice behind him and hurriedly turned around.
The tip of a gun appeared from the enemy's chest just now, and in his hand, he also held a gun, and the tip of the gun was pointed directly at the back of Meng Qiang's neck.
His eyes were full of anger, and his mouth was spitting blood, as if he was saying something. It's just that his life has come to an end, and the next moment, he falls softly.
Only then did Meng Qiang see clearly that it was Wu Zheng who killed him behind the enemy.
"This ......" Meng Qiang didn't react for a while.
"On the battlefield, don't be merciful. If I hadn't done it, you would have died under his gun. ”
Wu Zheng said, stepped forward and patted Meng Qiang on the shoulder, and turned to look for other enemies.
Meng Qiang was indeed surprised now, but it was not because of the cunning of the enemy.
What surprised him was that Wu Zheng, who had also never killed anyone, watched the enemy die, and his face was expressionless.
