Chapter 275: Entering the Enemy Camp at Night
"The gates are open! The gates are open! The soldiers under the city who were about to hit the city gate shouted with great joy at this time. They only thought that the wood in their hands was bad, and at this time, they finally knocked the gate open again. But just as these people were about to enter the city, they suddenly saw several war horses rushing out of it, and they were about to leap out of the city gate. The smiles on the faces of the besieging soldiers who were blocking the front had not disappeared, and the next moment they were directly knocked out by the war horses.
"It's the Huashan Army, they're finally out of the city! Everyone rush over with me, take the opportunity to take the city, so that Lord Jun will have a heavy reward! "The general who was in charge of supervising the battle in front at night also discovered this at this time, and even gave the order.
For them, the difficulty is that the Huashan army does not go out of the city, and now that they are out of the city, if their side completely occupies a dominant position, wouldn't it be a great thing? How could such a good opportunity for meritorious service be missed?
I can't beat it for so long, but now it's Huashan Army who sent it out by himself! For a while, all the troops in the city couldn't help but get excited, and they rushed towards the Huashan army one by one, just thinking that they could get a battle merit and go back.
It's a pity that they were completely wrong, and the Huashan army that went out of the city at this time was not here to send their heads, but to harvest their lives.
The cavalry led by Li Xin and Peng Lin rushed to the front, although the number of cavalry was not large, but it was just right to use it in such a place. The soldiers and horses of the other party attacking the city were foot soldiers, and they rushed up stupidly at this moment, and they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
They thought it was just a few generals on horseback, but it wasn't until they realized that something was wrong when they noticed that hundreds of horsemen were constantly appearing behind them. All the enemy troops in front of them could not resist under the rapid onslaught of the cavalry.
Those who saw the opportunity quickly might climb directly to the side of the hill to avoid it, and those who could not avoid it were either pierced by the cavalry on horseback or directly stepped on by the war horse. For this person who is not even armored, once he is directly hit by the charging war horse, it will really be a broken end.
With Li Xin, they fought out of the city and fought with the enemy. The soldiers who were originally crawling up the city were now completely alone. In front were the soldiers and horses defending the city, and behind were the Huashan army, which was suddenly blocked in mid-air, neither up nor down.
Li Erhei and others, who stayed at the head of the city, immediately seized the opportunity ~ at this time and counterattacked. Soon, under the attack of superior forces, all the enemy troops who jumped on the top of the city and did not go up to the top of the city were all wiped out.
Some people who were originally on the ladder and wanted to climb down ended up being climbed down the ladder directly from the top of the city by some brave soldiers of the Huashan Army. As a result, none of the soldiers besieging the city were able to escape.
After handing over the defense of the city to Xue Zan and others, Li Erhei also led a thousand men and horses out of the city to chase Li Xin and them. Not long after, the army gathered together outside the city and launched a counteroffensive against Zhang Ping's army.
Zhang Ping's army attacked the city at night with 6,000 soldiers and horses, and these people would rotate according to the hour. Under the siege of the city for several days, the casualties were more serious than those of the Huashan army, reaching an astonishing more than 4,000 people. As a result, there were only about 11,000 soldiers and horses left in the camp at night.
Because the camp was not far from the battlefield, everyone in the camp had been accustomed to falling asleep at night with the sound of siege shouts and killing. Therefore, when Li Xin and the others came out, the soldiers and horses on the side of the camp barely reacted.
It wasn't until the front army was already in chaos that the general who led the troops sent troops to report to Zhang Ping.
"What? The Huashan army is out of the city? Zhang Ping, who had just been woken up, heard the news, and was a little unresponsive for a while, and after understanding, he said: "They must not be able to hold it, so there will be such a death-defying blow, they must want to put it to death and come back to life!" β
He thought it very well, thinking that Li Xin had no choice but to take a risk and finally fight.
"Hurry up, gather a large army, you must surround them, and you must not let them run back again! This time, the official must completely eliminate them! As long as I take the county seat of Wuxiang, the party will be mine! After thinking about it, Zhang Ping hurriedly ordered to transfer all the soldiers and horses in the camp.
For a while, the entire camp was full of light, and the voices of people were boiling. Many of the soldiers who had slept soundly were driven up and rushed towards the battlefield to the south. And all this was seen by Liao Chuan and Lu Guang lurking in the mountains and forests on both sides.
The enemy has too many soldiers and horses, so if you attack the camp directly with 2,000 soldiers and horses, there may be variables. But when most of the opponent's troops and horses have been transferred, and then they attack again, there will be no problem.
"Brothers, the time has come! Rush down the hill with me and fight into the enemy camp! Seeing that the camp was almost half empty, Liao Chuan and Lu Guang knew that the time had come, and no longer hesitated, when they led the soldiers to rush down from the mountain, and then killed into the enemy camp.
Because of the proximity and the confusion in the camp at this time, few people paid attention to the noise of their descent from the mountain.
Moreover, this is where the barracks are located, and the enemy's defenses are lax. So much so that when Liao Chuan and the others were outside the camp gate, the enemy did not send a warning.
Liao Chuan's men and horses entered the enemy camp east of the northern source of the turbid water, while LΓΌ Guang's men and horses entered from the west side of the tributary. As soon as the two groups entered the enemy camp, they set fire to the tents. The rear of the entire camp was in flames for a while.
"Kill!" After the two thousand soldiers and horses converged, they immediately slaughtered in the enemy camp for a while, and after solving the little soldiers and horses in the rear camp, they immediately killed the place where the Chinese army's big tent was. In this way, if it goes well, it will be able to join Li Shin and the others who came from the south.
Outside the tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Ping, who had just put on his armor and was about to go to the front camp to watch the battle, suddenly heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the direction of the rear camp, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and immediately looked back.
"What's going on? Why is the rear camp so on fire? So confusing? Zhang Ping said angrily.
"Report, Qiyu envoy, the soldiers and horses of the Huashan Army have been killed from the rear camp, we, we can't resist it!" At this moment, I saw some soldiers running from the direction of the rear camp, one by one, and said in a panic.
"What? Why did the Huashan Army come from the back road? Damn the Huashan Army, dare to attack my camp at night, come and kill them back with this official, we must block them and win time for the former army to destroy the Huashan Army! At the critical moment, Zhang Ping finally got smart and knew that he couldn't let the Huashan Army, one south and one north, meet.
Hearing his words, everyone around couldn't help but look at each other, and they all looked a little unsure. Because they themselves don't know how many Huashan troops are coming from behind, if the other side is overwhelmed, wouldn't it be in vain for their own soldiers and horses to run over!
"If you dare to fight again, you will not be killed!" As soon as Zhang Ping saw the expressions of these people, he understood what they were thinking, and immediately raised his knife and cut down several soldiers in front of him. Then, glaring at the soldiers around him, he scolded.
These soldiers, who had just escaped from everywhere, were immediately startled when they saw this scene, and they no longer dared to disobey him, and ran back to the rear camp one after another. And Zhang Ping took his own soldiers and personally supervised the battle in the back.
"Give me all back, if anyone dares to take half a step back, they will not be forgiven!" Under Zhang Ping's strict supervision, the soldiers and horses everywhere that were originally chaotic were gradually collected by him.
Lu Guang and Liao Chuan, who came from the north, soon found that there seemed to be more and more soldiers and horses blocking in front of them. Although these soldiers don't seem to have any combat effectiveness, it's because the other party can't figure out the reality on their side.
"We have to rush over quickly, otherwise, once the other party finds out that we only have two thousand people, and the fear in our hearts is gone, it will not be easy for us to kill like a bamboo!" Liao Chuan discussed with Lu Guang and decided that the two of them would charge forward and open up the situation.
Both of them were fierce generals, and although they did not ride horses, when they were at the front, they did not have a single enemy at all. The enemy troops who were forced to rush forward were cut down one by one in front of them, and they were soon killed in a bloody way.
"Shoot them, shoot them all!" Zhang Ping was behind, seeing that the army he had gathered with great difficulty was about to be killed and collapsed at this moment, he couldn't help but be angry, and hurriedly ordered.
"My lord, this is not good! How many of our soldiers are over there? At this time, I am afraid that I will hurt my own people! Some of the generals who had just arrived from other places couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this order.
"If you don't fire arrows, how can you stop the enemy? Aren't you going up and stopping these two enemy generals? If not, I'll have no choice but to shoot the arrows! Zhang Ping glanced at them and said angrily. He hasn't really lost his mind yet, and if these generals arrive at this time, they may be able to block the two fierce generals on the other side.
Hearing this, those generals had no choice but to lead their men to charge in person. It's a pity that where are they Liao Chuan and Lu Guang's opponents, after a while, they were killed or injured by the two of them, in short, it was completely useless.
Zhang Ping was anxious in the back, but there was no better way, so he had to constantly urge the soldiers in front of him to rush forward. But at this time, the soldiers of the Huashan Army had already been killed, and where could his soldiers and horses resist, they began to rout after a while.
At this time, on the battlefield in the south, Li Xin and his more than 2,000 people, under the opening of the cavalry, rushed all the way to the north. Although the enemy's front army tried their best to block them, in such a small area, they had already entered the large camp, and the soldiers could not line up, and their strength was seriously dispersed, so they naturally could not resist.
