Chapter 186: Bombing the Camp and Roaring the Camp
Yelu Dagu and Li Hanguang's faces suddenly changed greatly, and in the midst of angry screams, they rushed desperately to the outside of the tent.
At this time, the snake slave outside, Zhemuqiu and Yelu Dagu's personal soldiers were fighting, and they desperately retreated into the distance.
There was a loud bang.
Yelu Dagu and Li Hanguang, who had just rushed out of the tent, flew out, and before they landed, they were already blurred by the explosion and died on the spot.
Of course, more than a dozen of Yelu's personal soldiers around the tent were also killed, and the snake slave and Orimu Qiu fell to the ground at the last moment, and the Liao people who surrounded them could not react and were injured by the explosion.
Not many people were killed by the bombing, but the panic caused to everyone in the Liao army camp was unparalleled.
"It's the terrifying weapon of the Song army."
"The Song army has come to steal the camp."
"Alert!"
Countless Liao soldiers heard the explosion and rushed out of their respective tents.
However, at this time, ten loud explosions were heard from all over the Liao army camp in turn.
These are ten powder packs brought by a hundred warrior kings.
"General Yelu was killed by the Song people, and a large number of Song troops attacked the camp." Orimuqiu shouted loudly in Khitan.
Because of the heavy casualties these days, the soldiers of the Liao army, who were already demoralized, suddenly fell into a panic.
In the dark night, in the chaotic camp of the Liao army, all the soldiers of the Liao army carried weapons to find the enemy who came to steal the camp.
The people injured by the explosion of the eleven gunpowder packs continued to let out terrible screams, coupled with the screams and shouts of killing the lone Liao people with a hundred soldiers in the dark night, which made the entire Liao army camp even more chaotic and inexplicably nervous.
And all the Liao soldiers looked at the figures in the dark camp with knives and kept shaking, and there was an illusion that the Song army had entered the camp and there were Song soldiers everywhere.
At a certain moment, in an area where a bonfire had been extinguished and visibility was very poor, two teams of Liao soldiers met, because they couldn't see each other clearly, and their spirits were in a high degree of tension with each other, and they didn't know which one or more Liao soldiers couldn't help but shoot the first arrow at each other in the dark, and then the two teams of Liao soldiers killed each other in the dark.
In the dark, everyone can hardly see other people clearly, and in order not to expose themselves, they don't say anything, let alone speak, so everyone feels that everyone else around them may be enemies, and then swings the knife and gun in their hands, even if some people still have reason, but in order to protect themselves, they have to resist, and resistance is fighting.
At this time, the consequences of Zhemuqiu's beheading operation and the killing of Yelu's big bone were reflected———— in this case there was no restraint and organization of the main general, and soon, this panic spread throughout the entire Liao army camp.
Once the fighting began, people were injured, people died, and screams began to rise, intensifying the atmosphere of panic.
Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers fled in the camp, the chaos has spread to all positions in the camp, and countless sleeping Liao soldiers in the distance were awakened by the howl of the earth, and in the darkness they didn't know what was going on, what the specific situation was, and they couldn't even tell the direction, but out of panic about the unknown, panic about the enemy's stealing camp, they began to run around for no reason.
The sudden blow, coupled with the fear of not being able to see, and the fact that the soldiers of the Liao army were constantly ordered to attack the city these days, suffered heavy casualties, had already consumed most of their fighting spirit and courage.
All the Liao soldiers began to scream hysterically and flee for their lives, and in the collective panic, those who were still calm at first were also surrounded by a panicked atmosphere and became overwhelmed.
Whether it is the Xijing army or the tribal army, they have now become stragglers, let alone organized.
Some people desperately try to kill the people next to them, while others desperately try to find the horses and escape.
In short, in the feudal era, it happened from time to time, and the most terrifying camp roar occurred in the Liao army camp, and it was out of control.
The situation of the camp is similar to that of the supervisor, in the ancient military camp, the camp rules are strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even if there is nothing to spread rumors, it is life-threatening. Moreover, the military camp is an authentic place of slaughter, and the traditional military regulations of all dynasties have the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", and the soldiers are all worried about their lives, and the mental depression can be imagined after years of experience.
In addition, in the feudal period, most of the armies were actually very dark, with officers wantonly oppressing soldiers, veterans ganging up to oppress recruits, and generals forming gangs to fight openly and secretly, and contradictions were accumulated year after year, all relying on military discipline.
Especially on this kind of battlefield, the next day may have to go to the battlefield, everyone is uncertain, I don't know when I will return to the West, and the spirit at this time is simply on the verge of collapse.
In history, there was even a soldier screaming in a nightmare, so everyone was infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, completely freed from the shackles of military discipline and vented a crazy camp roar.
Some clear-headed fellows began to pick up weapons to revenge grievances, revenge, because many of the soldiers relied on the same clan or township relations to form gangs, so began to fight, at this time those officers who usually oppressed the soldiers became the number one target, in the chaos everyone was settling their own accounts, and those who should pay off their debts could not run.
The ancient Chinese army had many night terrors, that is, "camp howling", and the earliest record of camp Xiao seen is in the war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and Xiqiang, recorded in the "Tongjian Chronicle".
……
……
The sound of shouting and killing gradually approached the location of the own tribal army led by Magutou, the huge Liao army camp was like a boiling cauldron, more than 10,000 Liao soldiers were like panicked ants, bumping everywhere without knowing the direction, the dense crowd pushed each other, countless people were knocked to the ground, and then trampled by the crowd, thousands of horses were also frightened by the crowd, they rushed left and right in the camp and trampled indiscriminately, and the whole camp shouted horses neighing, like a dark hell of death.
The dark and dreary earth was covered with large and small fires, many tents were lit, and more than 10,000 Liao soldiers fled in the dark, screaming in a row, never broken.
………
………
On Shuitou City, Zhang Bin and Zhi Kerou kept staring at the Liao army camp, and they heard the ten explosions at the first time, and they also faintly saw the chaos in the Liao army camp from a distance.
After the two discussed, Zhang Bin led more than 1,000 people to guard Shuitou City, and Zhi Kerou led more than 6,000 Zhejia troops to rush out of the city on war horses that had not been ridden these days.
At the same time, in the camp of the Liao army, Magutou gathered a thousand tribal warriors, and asked each of them to light a torch, so that the area where he was as bright as day, and he could clearly distinguish between friend and foe.
Therefore, although the chaos in other parts of the Liao army camp was as terrifying as a flash flood at this time, and more than 10,000 Liao soldiers who had a nervous breakdown were running and screaming in the dark, and fighting each other frantically, there were also Liao soldiers who were attracted by a torch on Magutou's side and ran over, saw the situation clearly, and after regaining their calm, they were constantly retracted by Magutou.
