Chapter 474: Night Attack
"Enemy attack!" The terrible sound suddenly sounded, and the camp that had been quiet also boiled, and a famous soldier ran out of the tent in a panic, and what they saw was arrows flying in the sky.
Some even fell on the tent and were soon ignited. These tents blew in the wind for more than half a day, and even if there was a little snow that had been completely dry, and when it was most likely to burn, even if the fire bolts rubbed next to the tent, just a little spark, it would completely ignite the whole tent.
"Enemy attack!" One of the battle lords waved his hand and shouted, "Where's the shield?!" ”
These soldiers are all elites selected from the command of Wei Chi Yuan, but no matter how elite they are, they can't withstand the fatigue of a day's march. And Xiao Shilian's choice of this time is very tricky, it is when the army has run out of food, and many soldiers are asleep.
Most of the Northern Zhou soldiers who fell under the arrows walked out of the camp in a daze after being awakened, and they didn't know how to be hit by the arrow. The companions in the back obviously knew to learn their lesson, and one by one they came out hunched over with their shields.
At this moment, an arrow shot into the sky.
Wei Chishun stretched out his hand to push away the guard who was pressing on him, this guard had already been hit by several arrows, but before he fell, he still tried his best to protect Yu Chishun and press him under him, so that he could protect Yu Chishun as much as possible.
Looking at the wide eyes of this young boy who had been following him for a long time, Wei Chishun felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the direction in which the arrow was raised, which was the small hill that he had been worried about before.
The enemy was really on that hill, and he was really negligent.
It would have been nice if scouts had been sent a few hours earlier. It's just that I looked at these tired soldiers with tired faces written on my face, and I couldn't bear it, so I let them rest for a while, who would have thought that this period of rest would give the enemy a chance to take advantage of!
In fact, it is reasonable for Wei Chishun to have such negligence, after all, he never thought that Xiao Shilian, even if there were only a thousand people, would have the courage to directly attack the camp. If Xiao Shilian chose this small hill as the ambush location, as long as Wei Chishun did not move, he could send scouts to investigate at any time.
He underestimated Xiao Shilian's courage, and this directly caused the Northern Zhou soldiers who were caught off guard to fall two or three hundred people directly in this dense arrow. Not to mention those camps that were burning, Wei Chishun didn't know how many people were still in the camp, let alone how many people had no chance to escape.
A soldier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was covered in fire screamed and ran, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and several companions hurriedly stepped forward to help him fight, but the soldier was already motionless.
The companions realized what was happening, and could only sigh and turn to disperse.
"Crossbowmen!" Wei Chi Shun was hoarse.
These were his robes, and at this time they fell because of his negligence.
However, Xiao Shilian didn't seem to plan to give Wei Chishun time to sort out the team, and just above the heads of Yu Chishun and the others, there was a loud noise.
Wei Chishun looked up almost subconsciously, and under the not bright moonlight, he could see the figure on the cliff. And next to these figures, you can clearly see the well-defined stones.
In Bashu, falling rocks are always the most effective way to kill, especially when condescending.
Yu Chishun held his breath, and several large rocks were already tumbling down the steep cliff!
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the stone smashed through the thin fence of the camp and rolled directly into the camp, and several soldiers holding shields who were panicking to resist the arrows were directly hit by the stone and fell down screaming. And this stone castrated unabated, and continued to roll towards the array not far away!
Wei Chishun's heart was dripping blood, and he knew that the enemy's main purpose was not to use these stones to kill the enemy, but to disrupt his own array. As long as your own crossbowmen are exhausted trying to avoid these stones, then the enemy's purpose has been achieved.
But he had no choice, and Wei Chishun was not naïve enough to think that these soldiers could obey his orders and remain motionless in front of these large rocks. This innate fear of people is difficult to overcome.
At this time, Wei Chishun had to sigh that the other party's main general was too accurate in grasping the timing. It was the time when people subconsciously relaxed their vigilance at night, and these fire arrows were not so much to shoot the enemy, but to drive out all the Northern Zhou troops and force the Northern Zhou army to line up to meet the enemy, so as to provide enough opportunities for the subsequent falling rocks.
If the Northern Zhou army is a plate of loose sand, then it will be difficult for this stone to play a role, the more dense the Northern Zhou soldiers stand and if the formation is neat, the greater the power of this stone.
Obviously, the other party has taken all aspects into account, and even his own approximate reaction time has been calculated. The soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Chi are elite soldiers, and in the event of this kind of night attack, they will generally assemble as soon as possible, form their own formations, and rely on the camp to build a defensive line, which does not require Wei Chi Shun's order, and all the battle lords and generals can understand.
However, it was precisely for this reason that gave the Nan Chen army the best opportunity to use falling rocks.
"Could it be that Li Xinchen is here?" Wei Chishun frowned, looking at his own camp that was already in chaos. can grasp these details so well, in his heart, only Li Xinchen should have such ability.
It's just that Wei Chishun didn't know that compared to Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian, a guy from Jiangmen, was more familiar with and good at this kind of battle, after all, what Xiao Maha taught him since he was a child is the art of war of the authentic sect, and the general art of war deals with such elite soldiers who have received standard training and have been on the battlefield for a long time.
In other words, to deal with such an enemy, Xiao Shilian is a standard "professional background".
Even if Li Xinchen is here, his performance may not be as good as Xiao Shilian.
Not far away on the hill, Xiao Shilian stood up, and the moonlight poured on his body, illuminating half of his face. And a pair of eyes fell on him at the same time, with trust and excitement in their eyes.
"Kill!" A word popped out of Xiao Shilian's mouth.
"Kill!" Countless Nan Chen soldiers roared and jumped out of their hiding places, they watched the enemy fall, watching the enemy finally arrange the formation in chaos, for this battle that was originally a huge disparity in strength, they suddenly had confidence.
Xiao Shilian's general flag danced high at the front, and the Nan Chen soldiers caught up with the flag one by one, and under the moonlight, the blades in their hands reflected dazzling light.
"Left wing, right wing, kill in!" Xiao Shilian raised his knife and ordered loudly.
