Chapter Seventy-Two: How to Fight?
When Yue Fei, Fu Xuan and others left, they handed over all the command of the relatives to Liu Jing, and Liu Jing was ordered to be in danger and did not dare to slack off.
After Liu Jing saw off Yue Shuai, when he was on patrol duty at night, he saw the fire of Wanyan Ningji.
"Enemy attack!" During the night, the officer in charge of the lookout saw the golden soldiers under the continuous torches and the bright and extinguishing firelight, and at the same time roared loudly, he shot the arrows in his hands.
The arrow crossed the sky above the old camp of the Yellow Nest, and a trail of fire slashed.
The official who was guarding the golden drum was a little sleepy, squinted slightly, heard the sound of sharp arrows, woke up suddenly, picked up the drumstick and struck it vigorously on the drum surface.
The sound of the horn sounded in the camp at the same time, and the endless old camp of Huangchao seemed to be awakened, and the relatives and officials rushed out of the tent, quickly took the hood and pulled it on, lit the torch and quickly assembled.
Torches swirled like a dragon in the old camp of the Yellow Nest, shouting and cheering.
"Bed crossbow arrows! Hurry up, hurry up! Carry on board! ”
"One hundred and five chariots assembled! Wu Yi! Hurry up, you mother! Grinding like a! ”
"Acting commander military order! The chariot is quickly approaching the Imperial Horse Road! Command the military order on your behalf! The chariot is quickly approaching the Imperial Horse Road! ”
"The chariot stands before the trench! Don't push any further! Do you want to push the car down and down?! ”
"Remove the planks from the trenches! You tap to push!! Reject the horse pile! Fast! ”
……
Although the old camp of Huangchao was a little noisy, it was still quite orderly, and the night attack troops of Wanyan Ningji had not yet been mounted, and the relatives of the entire old camp of Huangchao had already completed the formation, so that they could stand by the side of the royal horse road in a good time.
A trench more than three meters deep was in front of it, and the trench was filled with sharp wooden thorns. Behind the trench were the iron spikes of the decisive chariot reflecting the moonlight, and the glowing heads of the spears could be seen from the firing ports, and these lights came from the three swords and arrows of the bed crossbow.
The chariots were not connected by iron cables, but were lined up in front of the royal horse road, and between the ranks, large shield soldiers armed with hook spears and hemp knives ready to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, and in the middle stood countless crossbowmen, checking their bowstrings and arrows.
Behind him, there were sixteen pushers holding the handle of the decisive chariot, waiting for the impact of the opponent.
Behind the chariot array and the sergeant was a tall trebuchet, which was slowly being pushed to the designated position, and Liu Jing stood under the trebuchet, looking at the opponent's torches and estimating the number of opponents' attacking camps.
But four thousand.
This figure reassured him a little, estimating the number of enemy troops on the battlefield according to the number of the opponent's phalanx was the basic appeal of the general.
There are several huge flagpoles on the Omado, and even at night, you can see the red flags on the flagpoles.
It was a specially erected marker, and the distance from the first flagpole to the trench was about a hundred paces, and so on, and the other side was at the sixteenth flagpole, which was 1,600 paces.
"Thirty up, full strength! on the stone. Liu Jing said to his lieutenant, and the herald ran away quickly, running in all directions to the position of the trebuchet.
There were only fifty trebuchets, all of which came from Crescent City, and Yue Fei was a Hebei minister appointed by His Majesty, and nominally enjoyed supreme command over the entire army on the east and west roads of Hebei.
Of course, the defenders of Crescent City knew that they couldn't hold the city, so they simply lent all the trebuchets in Crescent City to Yue Fei's troops.
"Huh!" The officer struck the shield, and every two strikes were a chorus, and the originally chaotic knocking and roaring gradually became uniform. The entire Huangchao old camp and Yuma Road are the sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.
……
Wanyan Ningji raised his hand high, and the sound of the drum passed among the golden soldiers.
He was holding back the onslaught of his own soldiers. He is a little confused now, he is here to attack the camp, not to attack the fortification.
The other party laid out this long cart and shield soldier, and the crossbowman and the strong bed crossbow pointed at him.
How to fight this! How is this offensive?
Wanyan Ningji once heard Wanyan Zonghan talk about his conquest in the Liao State, and each battle could drive away countless Khitannus, pounce on the enemy formation, and disrupt the deployment of the enemy formation, which was tried and tested.
But this trick failed in the Central Plains, and the Han thief army that was collected in the Central Plains did not have the slightest combat effectiveness at all! They are all ruffians and hooligans, and dogs are robbing everywhere! It's a burden to carry it!
This is also the reason why Wanyan Zongwang abandoned the Han thief army under Bianjing City, he couldn't fight, and he also consumed grain and grass, who likes it?
And what made Wanyan Zongwang extremely depressed was that during the entire march, they did not pull the Han as vassals on a large scale.
Wanyan Zongwang has been thinking for a long time, why can't the Central Plains pull a battleable thief army, and now it also makes Wanyan Ningji very puzzled.
If in this situation, if there are countless Han thief armies rushing up, can the enemy still be so leisurely? He attacked the camp with 3,000 soldiers and horses, 2,050 light cavalry, and 500 heavy cavalry.
He rushed over now, could he fill the trench that was several meters wide? What are you doing in the past? Crashing into the Iron Spike?
Now in front of him, the enemy of the old camp of Huangchao was definitely leisurely, as if he knew their plan to attack at night, and sent troops to deploy on the Royal Horse Road, waiting for his charge.
The other party's torches are like a giant dragon, and the dragon's teeth are the two hundred chariots that make the famous general Wanyan Zongwang deflated.
The pitch-black chariot reflected the flickering light of the torches, and the huge iron thorns in front of the chariot were like sharp teeth that chose people to eat, waiting for Wanyan Ningji to throw himself into the net.
"How did they know we were going to attack tonight! Was it prepared? Wanyan Ningji was furious.
Wanyan Ningji is not charging now, nor is he not charging. If you don't charge now, you are cowardly, and it will be a huge damage to morale.
But the other side has already prepared, and this night attack has become a strong attack. The damage is so great that it is boundless.
He looked at the other party's fire in front of the battle, and waved the horsewhip in his hand! Shouting loudly: "Kill! ”
Five hundred Tiefutu and two thousand five hundred light cavalry rushed out, shouts echoing through the valley.
Liu Jing's hand was held high, and the trumpeter beside him, holding a huge horn, was waiting for Liu Jing's hand to be put down.
"Put!" Liu Jing roared angrily!
The distant and deep sound of the horn began to echo on the battlefield, and the sergeant ignited the stone ball that touched the fierce fire oil, and the huge sound sounded one after another, and the long arm of the trebuchet was forcefully under the action of the hammer of the short arm, and the stones in the bullet frame roared out and smashed into the charging golden soldiers.
Liu Jing played with an angle ruler in his hand, and when the enemy army had charged a thousand paces, he ordered the trebuchet to fire the stone ball. smashed into the cavalry that was still charging.
