Chapter Ninety-Eight: There Are Vicious Dogs Inside
Night attack, of course night attack, the army of the Xinzhou Governor's Office of the Sui State attacked Jiangling, the capital of the Liang State, in order to contain the Zhou army in Shannan, and there was a pontoon bridge built on the Fuzhang River on the land back road, and today there was a Zhou army arriving on the east bank of the pontoon bridge on the north side of the camp.

This Zhou Jun is like a knife against a person's ribs, not to mention uncomfortable, making people not even sleep well.
The main force of the Sui army attacked Jiangling, and the Fuzhang River was the back road of the army, and once something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
It was already very difficult for the army to attack Jiangling, and then it was threatened by this reinforcement of the Zhou army, and it could only withdraw by water after a few days, so it was necessary to find a way to solve it, although the other party may be on guard, but the Sui army commander on the bank of the Fuzhang River decided to attack at night first.
The selected soldiers can fight at night without being blindfolded, and they are veterans for many years, so they have rich experience, even if the night attack fails, they can return after tossing the other party.
At the beginning of the night attack, the road was smooth, the Sui soldiers were divided into several groups and touched towards the Zhou army camp, and when the soldiers approached the periphery of the Zhou camp, they found a wooden sign standing on the flat ground, and by the moonlight, there was a dog with teeth and claws, which seemed to be written something.
What is written?
God knows what is written, and we are illiterate!
The soldiers in these years were basically illiterate, and no one could understand what was written on the wooden card, but the leading general was barely literate, stared at it for a while, and read it out with some uncertainty:
"There's a vicious dog inside?"
"What the hell! Keep moving! ”
Sui Bing didn't take this thing seriously, the other party was simply deceiving himself, thinking that raising a few broken dogs could scare off the enemy, they were not beggars begging along the street, and the master's family could drive away by letting a few vicious dogs come out.
Just a few vicious dogs, what can I do!
Then they heard the barking of dogs, then several dogs together, and finally the barking of dogs became more and more in a large area.
There are really dogs, a lot of dogs.
When the dog first barked, the Sui soldiers who attacked at night thought it was a wild dog wandering in the wilderness, but the situation was wrong, more and more dogs barked, where did so many wild dogs come from these years?
The dog's barking caused the Sui soldiers' whereabouts to be revealed, so the night attack could not be carried out and they could only retreat, but it was not easy to retreat, because the "vicious dog" caught up.
Many dogs of considerable size came out of the grass, specifically biting people's calves and ankles, and most of the soldiers wore crotch armor, and the legs of the pants below the knees were unprotected, and the pain of being bitten by vicious dogs made people break out in a cold sweat.
These beasts drilled around in the crowd, dodged after a bite, and then waited for an opportunity to bite again, so that the Sui soldiers were unable to guard against it, and in the darkness they were surrounded by their own people, and they were afraid of accidental injury when they wielded a knife.
The screams sounded one after another, and it was the Zhou soldiers who followed him who began to shoot arrows, and the other party's eyesight seemed to be unaffected at night, and the Sui soldiers who were confused by the vicious dogs fell to the ground one after another, and the situation was out of control in an instant.
The defeated soldiers retreated towards their own camp, and only the sound of dogs barking was heard behind them, and then there was the sound of whizzing arrows, and they didn't even know how long they had fled, and finally returned to their own camp.
However, the number of returning Sui soldiers was even greater than when they first set out.
The extra people are people, not some demons and monsters, the Zhou soldiers followed, and the reason why they moved so quickly was because they had planned to attack the Sui army camp at night.
It was not only the Sui army that was thinking of a night attack tonight.
The defenders of the Sui army camp were naturally on guard against a night attack, but they could vaguely hear the movement of the Zhou army's camp, knowing that the night attack had failed, and seeing the dark shadows in front of them, they thought that they were defeated and retreated soldiers, and their defense was a little lax.
Caught off guard, the Zhou army broke into the camp and opened fire, attacking the camp not only infantry but also cavalry, all wearing hideous skeleton masks, and the black light and blind fire looked very scary.
The Zhou soldiers, who broke into the camp, rushed straight to the grain and grass hoard, and set it on fire before the Sui soldiers could mobilize.
Piles of grain and grass turned into torches, and the sky-high flames were particularly conspicuous in the wilderness at night, but the Zhou army did not stop, and a second wave of attacks followed: a large number of archers arrived outside the camp and began to attack the camp with rockets.
The continuous camp tents were set on fire, countless people ran and shouted in the firelight, and when the generals of the Sui army gathered their routs and prepared to counterattack, the third wave of the Zhou army's offensive was launched.
Yuwen Wen, the commander of the Zhou army, personally led the main cavalry to the camp, and the night attack he personally arranged went unexpectedly smoothly, so he temporarily "added drama" to a wave to push the Sui army east of the Fuzhang River to the abyss of destruction.
Continuous collision and trampling, the helpless Sui soldiers were rushed to collapse by the cavalry of the Zhou army, and a general of the Sui army with a disheveled hair rode a bareback horse and charged the Zhou army with a horse lance: "Come and fight!" ”
Just like a moth fighting a fire is very tragic, Yuwen Wen was very moved when he saw this, but he was in an extremely bad mood because he couldn't sleep, and he was not in the mood to accept his little brother, so he was moved and bent his bow and arrow to shoot him off the horse.
Riding the horse closer, only to see that the other party was shot in the face and died, Yuwen Wen said in his heart, "Good, good", and then led the troops to continue to charge.
The rout fled westward, and the pontoon bridge across the Fuzhang River could not accommodate so many people, and the Sui army in the camp on the west bank was afraid that the Zhou army would take the opportunity to cross the river, so they had to cut the pontoon bridge.
The defeated soldiers on the east bank jumped directly into the icy Fuzhang River despite the cold weather, and a small number of people were lucky enough to swim to the west to land, while most of them were shot in the river, and the number of corpses blocked the river for a time.
The pontoon bridge across the river was broken, and many Sui soldiers who did not dare to jump into the river could only surrender, and the Sui army on the west bank was helpless to watch the Zhou army on the east bank wreak havoc.
The movement on the bank of the Fuzhang River was so great that the Sui army camp outside Jiangling City sent cavalry back to help, and found that there was a suspected ambush in front of the road halfway, so he did not dare to act rashly and could only turn back to the camp.
The Zhou army of the night attack tossed for a long time and finally withdrew its troops, leaving behind a messy camp, and at this time the east had begun to be exposed.
。。。。。。
In the camp of the Zhou army, Yuwenwen was listening to Tian Zhengyue's report on the results of the night attack, and the results were very simple, the Sui army on the east bank of the Fuzhang River was finished, and a number of horses, cloths, personnel, weapons and armor were captured.
The loss of his own side is not large, but the casualties of those dogs who are loyal to their duties are not small, and Tian Zhengyue wants to ask if they have eaten it.
"No, after all, after making a meritorious service, let's gather and dig a pit and bury it."
"Yes."
"Farewell to Chen, and he will be in charge of the defense of the day."
"Yes."
After being busy for a while, Tian Zhengyue retired, and Yuwenwen finally felt a little sleepy after taking off his armor, and lay on the couch in a daze.
Dogs can take care of the home, but it is a little troublesome to be widely used in the army, first of all, the barracks are full of people, so the military dogs can't adapt to it, and they can't bark all day long, which will make the soldiers sleep badly, and finally they will go crazy.
The second is dog food, these dogs raised by Yuwen Wen have been carefully trained, and the meat and bones in the food they eat are indispensable, which does not matter to the Hulin Army or the Huangzhou Mansion soldiers, but it is a luxury for other armies.
It doesn't matter how many military dogs are fed, but if the scale increases, the amount of meat consumed is considerable.
The usual army food is just like that, there is not necessarily meat in two meals a day, if you raise military dogs on a large scale according to the level of Yuwenwen feeding dogs, it will only make the soldiers feel that they are not even as good as dogs, and sooner or later there will be a mutiny.
Raising military dogs, if you want to achieve the effect of tonight's "vicious dogs", the number must not be small, and in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, people's food must also keep up, but there are several armies in the world that can do the Tiger Forest Army.
Fighting a war is to burn money, and improving the soldiers' food to ensure that there is meat every day is also burning money, probably only Yuwenwen burns buns like this.
Thinking of this, he began to ponder the current situation.
After the battle of Bowang, Yunyang Pass on the Sanlu Road was recovered, and Yuwenwen led his troops south along the river to Fancheng next to the Hanshui River and stationed, like a python coiled in the Shannan boundary, ready to deal with the enemy situation in all directions of Shannan.
When the Xinzhou army of the Sui State marched east to besiege Jiangling, he boarded a ship at Fancheng as he had done five years earlier, and went all the way south to the great lake northeast of Jiangling, where he set up camp after landing.
The night attack was successful, and the Sui army outside Jiangling City would definitely not be able to stay and withdraw, and when the siege of Jiangling was lifted, where would he need to put out the fire? (To be continued.) )
