Chapter 69: Night Attack (Part I)
"Second uncle, shall we give up" Zhang Tian took a big sip of his wine glass and said unwillingly.
General Zhang ignored him and said to Cui Yunlong, "What do you think, Young Master Cui?" ”
Cui Yunlong put down the wine glass, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Heh, it's just a bluff"
General Zhang nodded approvingly and motioned for him to continue.
"It's very simple, if they were really strong, they wouldn't have needed to play so many tricks with us, if they had known that we were back, there would be at least 20,000 troops in this valley, and they would have come out to fight with us in the field, the more small actions the more weak the heart" Cui Yunlong said with a relaxed face.
General Zhang laughed when he heard it and said, "It makes sense, I think so too"
Zhang Tian didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, and the more they talked, the more confused they became, so he had to scratch his head and ask, "Second uncle, since they are bluffing, why should we withdraw?" ”
General Zhang looked at Cui Yunlong and said with a smile, "You're coming?"
"No, it's better for you to come!" The declining dragon reverted to a cynical look, as if all the shrewdness just now was fake.
General Zhang said to Zhang Tian with a look of hatred: "Although there may not be many cases of them, we must be foolproof this time, and the reason for returning is to let them relax their vigilance, so that we can attack at night tonight."
"Night attack?" Zhang Tian asked in surprise.
"That's right, night attack, since they are bluffing, then we will withdraw the plan first to confuse them, make them think that we have been fooled, and then the army will crush them in one fell swoop tonight"
It was said that General Zhang slapped the chair hard, stood up and said loudly: "Order, drum discussion"
The soldiers outside the door hurriedly gave orders, and soon the camp sounded three drums, and after a while, all the officers above the commander of the thousand commanders gathered in the camp tent, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, General Zhang opened his mouth and said: "All departments listen to the order, send orders to all the officers and men, be ready for battle, do not take off their armor, do not leave the soldiers, no one is allowed to move around in the camp at will, and the whole army will be dispatched tonight."
All the generals are respectful.
Then, General Zhang turned around and picked up two tokens from the table and said, "General Cui Yunlong, General Zhang Tian stepped forward to listen to the order."
The two men hurriedly stepped forward.
General Zhang gave them two tokens and said, "Let the two of you each lead 500 elite soldiers as the vanguard, and take the lead in attacking the city wall after the general attack begins, and the first to break the city will be remembered for the first merit, can you understand?"
The two immediately responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Then the two glanced at each other, both saw the spark in each other's eyes, and they both understood that General Zhang, the purpose of letting the two of them lead the team as pioneers was to let them compete, and neither of them was a person who easily surrendered to defeat.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two people was getting stronger and stronger, General Zhang smiled disheartenedly, this is the young man in his eyes who is energetic, has to work hard, and the most important thing is not to admit defeat.
"All ministries must act in accordance with orders, and if there is any negligence and delay the military aircraft, the law will be corrected on the spot."
"Yes......"
…………
Liu Lei was wrapped in a thick quilt on the wall of Qingfeng Town, only dozing off, seeing that it was about to be early in the morning, Liu Lei couldn't help it, and said to Li Tianlong on the side: "Uncle Li, are you thinking too much, they are too scared by me to come."
Li Tianlong looked up at the stars and judged the hour, it was about to be early in the morning, this time is the time when people are most likely to be sleepy, and it is also the time when vigilance is the lowest, if there is an attack, it should be this time, next to the two of them, there are also more than 500 militiamen who have not slept all night and stare behind the wall, and then all the old and young in Qingfeng Town.
"Young Master, I don't understand your strategy, and I don't know if anyone has really succeeded before, but I know how to fight, our actions during the day today, even if we can temporarily deceive them, but if it is a battle-hardened person, they can react quickly, if they don't want to give up the task of sneaking up on the rout, then they will definitely attack us tonight"
Liu Lei chirped and chirped, although his theoretical ability surpassed everyone else, but if it really went to practice, he really had no experience at all.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, many soldiers were so sleepy that their eyes were almost unable to open, and even Li Tianlong was a little suspicious that his judgment was difficult, could it be that the young master's plan had really succeeded in deceiving him, the general of the Stormwind City Gang?
At this moment, Li Tianlong suddenly saw a dark shadow shaking outside the wall.
"It's coming," Li Tianlong said in a low voice.
Although the voice was not loud, Liu Lei, who was beside him, was taken aback, and several soldiers nearby immediately copied the knife.
"Ah......h
Suddenly a scream came from outside the wall, these days they have already arranged all kinds of mechanisms outside the wall, although it is very simple and it is the skill of hunters to catch prey, but tonight it is still a meritorious achievement, it is obvious that the soldiers of the Stormwind City Gang encountered such a mechanism just now, and they were not injured a lot when they heard the sound.
This scream, like a thunderbolt, shook the soldiers on both sides.
The people outside the city also knew that they had been exposed at this time, but fortunately they no longer hid their traces.
"Attack!"
"Brothers, kill it"
Two roars came from outside the wall, and then the sound of shouts and weapons clashing was heard.
"Light up!"
Li Tianlong also hurriedly ordered loudly.
Immediately after that, the veteran soldiers on the wall stood up, shot the rockets in their hands, and ignited the dry firewood and dead leaves they had placed outside in advance, and they were all poured with purple flame liquid, and the flames immediately rose into the sky.
Outside the wall, the attacking troops obviously did not expect that there was an ambush on the wall, and they were taken by the fire, and the enemy troops who were in the trap area immediately fell into bad luck, and many people became fire people, screaming loudly, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, the offensive was immediately frustrated, many people stood in place and did not know what to do, and some people hurriedly retreated to avoid the flames.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Taking advantage of the enemy's stunned effort, Li Tianlong hurriedly shouted loudly again, and more than 200 archers immediately stood up and shot the arrows in their hands, and a volley knocked down a large number of enemies.
"Damn, there is an ambush" Zhang Tian outside the city gritted his teeth and scolded, the troops were blocked by fire, there were bows and arrows on the wall, and soldiers kept falling between the dilemma, because they didn't expect Liu Lei's troops to be prepared, so the vanguard were all melee soldiers, the archers were still behind and did not come over, they could only be beaten passively, even the elite soldiers were a little unable to parry, Zhang Tianxia subconsciously looked at Cui Yunlong's team, although he didn't see Cui Yunlong, but the team over there had begun to start extinguishing the fire, Holding a shield and using a knife and gun to pick the incendiary aside and open a passageway.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian also gritted his teeth: "No need to withdraw!" Extinguish the fire and go on the offensive"
The soldiers could only stand up, shoot the bows and arrows, and put out the fire, and when Zhang Tian lost more than 100 people, the archers behind him finally came up, and nearly a thousand archers lined up in several lines, and the defenders on the wall began to shoot, and immediately suppressed the archers on the wall.
There were finally casualties on Liu Lei's side, and the archers of the Storm City State only fired a volley, and many people fell on the wall.
"Hidden! Take cover! Li Tianlong hurriedly shouted, all the archers immediately hid, two hundred people had no meaning to a thousand people, they could only die in vain.
All the people on the wall buried their heads deep in the wall and did not dare to show their heads, and the arrows outside the wall were like locusts, and soon the walls were inserted into hedgehogs.
Liu Lei and Li Tianlong took advantage of the interval between the salvo shots to show their eyes, only to see that the attacking troops had approached the mini moat outside the wall, and were putting a simple ladder on it to pass.
When some of the people rushed to the city, the archers outside finally stopped for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, and prepared to push closer and shoot from the back.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! All ready to fight"
Li Tianlong shouted loudly.
The walls of Qingfeng Town are only over four meters high, and if you get close, you can easily climb it.
The bows and arrows on the walls were once again in full swing, harvesting the enemy forces outside the city, and the soldiers who were ready for melee combat also stood up, ready to throw stones and sassaches! At this time, you can see the value of the veterans in each team, many recruits are frightened and their legs are weak, and they don't stand up at all, or the veterans either shout loudly or simply pull out their knives and threaten, which makes everyone stand up.
The veterans led the recruits to spontaneously block the front of each pontoon bridge, once the enemy crossed the bridge, they would definitely attack the city directly, and each pontoon bridge was an attack point and the easiest to break through.
Let Li Tianlong not hesitate to quarrel with Zhu Dezhi, let all the old and weak women and children go into battle to dig the value of the small river also came out, more than 300 meters of Go, more than 500 troops must be stretched, but the defense point by point has also reduced a lot of pressure, although many people know that when the real general attack comes, this moat that can be regarded as a ditch will definitely be filled, but at this moment it also makes people feel a lot more at ease.
