Chapter 31: The Wind Blows and the Fireflies Shine on the Night (continued)
A galloping horse, just as it was about to hit the antlers, suddenly turned in a different direction, passed by the edge, and then dodged several other antlers one after another, and passed by the left perimeter of the enemy camp.
He Ruobi, who was riding on a horse, let go of his bowstring, and the arrow flew to the enemy camp in front of the right, shooting an enemy soldier behind the female wall.
Although it was dark all around, only a little firelight was swaying, but this couldn't help He Ruobi, even at night, his eyesight was very good, the warrior galloping on the battlefield, if it was a finch blindfolded, how could it work?
Ordinary people are right-handed, holding the bow in their left hand and leading the arrow with their right hand, so it is easier to shoot arrows to the left side of the body when riding and shooting, and it will be very awkward to shoot arrows to the right side, and He Ruobi is shooting arrows to the right at this time, which must have the skill of "opening the bow left and right" to do it.
This is nothing for the children of the generals who are skilled in archery and horses.
A group of cavalry emerged in front, it was the enemy warriors who dared to fight at night took the initiative to attack, He Ruobi collected the bow, took the horse lance from the horse, and led his subordinates to meet the battle, the two sides hedged in the dim night, and the victory and defeat were determined in only one round.
He Ruobi, who led the troops to attack the camp, did not need the assistance of others, only took more than ten horsemen who followed him, and easily defeated the enemy cavalry who came out of the camp to meet him, and the enemy soldiers in the camp did not dare to attack when they saw this.
Nanda Battalion, located on the south side of the suburbs of the Hanging Gourd, has been on guard against the enemy's night attack for the past few days, and the rebels who are entrenched in the Hanging Gourd, its reinforcements arrived in the southern suburbs thirty miles ago, but then suddenly retreated, everyone thought that the other party might be a fraudulent retreat, and then came to a sneak attack one night, and now it really came.
In the night, the other party kept galloping outside the camp, and blew the horn from time to time, and the camp defenders did not know how many people there were on the other side, and they abided by the prior arrangements and did not rush to attack.
The warriors who took the initiative to ask for battle, everyone saw the end, the guard ordered the gate to be closed tightly, and it was strictly forbidden to attack privately, and the enemy cavalry approaching from time to time outside the camp threw thunder to the camp fence, although the casualties actually caused were not large, but such a movement made the guard more and more suspicious.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the battalion, and there were also cavalry, but it was night now, and it was easy to fall into the enemy's trick of luring the enemy by attacking rashly.
There is a cloud in the art of war, and the bait soldiers should not be eaten, but...
To the north, there was a faint sound of continuous explosions, and there was a great fire, and when I looked north from the southern camp, the outline of the Hanging Fortress was reflected in the fire in the north.
The attack on the Beida camp is an obvious thing, it seems that it is the movement caused by the night attack of the enemy army in the Hanging Gourd City, but what effect can this kind of behavior achieve in addition to increasing casualties?
As the main battalion of the Chinese army, the Beida Battalion is the most heavily guarded, not to mention that the enemy has to break through the trench and long encirclement in a night attack, even if it breaks through, how can it attack the large camp with inferior troops?
Thinking of this, the defender made up his mind to attack, but he would not pursue, lest he fall into a trap and not attack, after all, he had tens of thousands of troops, and it was too unreasonable to be pressed in the barracks by this enemy.
The archers shot rockets to illuminate the field outside the camp, and the cavalry attacked first to drive away the enemy outside the camp, and then more than 1,000 foot soldiers left the camp and lined up outside the camp with antlers to make a barrier for the rear army to leave the camp.
Numerous torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the field outside, and the archers waited for their targets to approach with wide eyes.
When the goal was achieved, He Ruobi led his subordinates to retreat south, and his mission was to attack and harass the enemy's southern camp, and by the way, attract the attention of the defenders of the eastern and western camps, and contribute to his friendly forces attacking the northern camp.
Looking back to the north, the flickering firelight in the night, as well as the incessant sound of explosions, indicated that a fierce battle was underway, which was a night attack triggered by a crazy decision by Yuwen Wenwen, the king of Xiyang.
The enemy has more than 100,000 troops, and the hanging gourd is surrounded like an iron bucket, but it can't be attacked, so the troops are divided into four directions to set up a village, and it seems that all sides are taken into account, but in He Ruobi's view, this is the weakness that has been broken one by one.
The strength of the four large battalions is apportioned, and the average strength of each battalion is only about 40,000, while the defenders in the city are nearly 10,000, plus the elite of the thousands of Tiger Forest Army who have made a detour through the chasm, and carried out a night attack on one of the large battalions, attacking inside and outside, and the success rate is very high.
Not to mention that the target of the attack was the most heavily guarded Beida Battalion, how could the other party never think of it, right?
The Hulin Army, which entered the chasm, had to brave the bitter cold and march on foot in the muddy Pitang area, and also arrived at the eastern suburbs of Beidaying at the appointed time, when the defenders of the hanging gourd would pour out of their nests and launch a desperate attack on Beidaying.
For this crazy decision, He Ruobi exclaimed.
However, his cavalry could not get around to the north, so he could only make a feint to contain it.
The cavalry following the pursuit gradually slowed down, He Ruobi felt that this would not work, although he was a partial division tonight, but the feint attack must also be in place, so as to contain as many enemy soldiers as possible.
Turning the horse's head, he led his subordinates to rush north again, there was still a long time before dawn, wouldn't it be too boring to collect the troops too early?
。。。。。。
The spearmen gathered together and walked along the path between the tents, and two horses rushed at them, their hooves scarlet, as if stained red by the blood of their comrades, and the spearmen stood shoulder to shoulder, aiming their spears at the two beasts.
With a few "poofs", the horses were stabbed in the chest by spears, blood splattered, and they fell forward with momentum, almost crushing the spearmen in the front row.
"Stab him, stab him!" When the soldiers saw the horses rushing towards them, some of the wagons they were dragging behind jumped to the side, and several of them rushed forward with their spears in order to stab each other in the heart.
Before they could take a few steps, they saw several large jars on the carriage, and before the gallant spearmen could react, they were engulfed in the fire and smoke of the explosion.
A group of cavalry rushed out of the smoke and galloped towards the depths of the camp, the faces of the cavalry were reflected by the fire burning all around, and Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen was in it, stepping into camp under the left and right guards.
In this battle, he was desperate, took out all the thunderbolts that he used sparingly on weekdays, pressed the main force of the Hanging Gourd Defenders, and also pressed the precious Tiger Forest Army.
If this battle is not successful, it will be benevolent.
Everywhere there were shouts, fights, wails, fires, the enemy camp turned into a sea of fire, I don't know how many people ran and shouted in the flames, I don't know how few people lost their lives in the flames.
Yu Wenwen led the troops to successfully enter the enemy camp, and according to the strategy formulated in advance, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the breach, the other teams were divided into four ways and killed in the camp.
The enemy's Beida camp is based on Rushui, divided into east and west, and the Anzhou army mainly attacks the camp on the east side of Rushui, and there is a way to the east side, and the Hulin army on the east side is connected, and all the way directly to the Rushui wharf to set fire.
It was the place where the upstream grain ships docked and unloaded grain, and a large amount of grain and grass was hoarded, and when it was burned down, the world would be clean.
The third way, specifically to impact the Chinese military tent, the target is Prime Minister Lieutenant Chi Dan, and the last way, the cavalry where Yu Wenwen is located, the target is the palace.
His wife and children were there.
The palace is very recognizable, wooden structure, several halls, high-end atmosphere and grade, very conspicuous in the sea of tents, Yu Wenwen's eyes are staring at the palace in the firelight, and he can't wait to fly over immediately with wings on his back.
This is the best opportunity, he can save his wife and children while breaking the enemy, so Yuwen Wen is willing to gamble.
Tonight's sneak attack will inevitably catch the enemy off guard, so Yu Chi Chifan and Yuwen Weicheng must be in the palace at this time, and now, he and his wife and children are close at hand.
His own night attack and successfully broke into the camp, so it can be seen that the enemy army was caught off guard, so the palace guards will definitely not have time to take his wife and children away, Yu Wenwen is convinced of this, so the time for him to reunite with his wife and children is coming, and he is excited when he thinks of this.
The cavalry went straight forward and approached the palace quickly, and many enemy soldiers appeared on the road ahead, blocking in front of the palace, Yuwen Wen couldn't care so much, and shouted loudly:
"The King of Xiyang is here! Get out of the way if you don't want to die! ”
Yu Wenwen's son was made the new king, and his princess was named the queen of Yi, these things, the soldiers near the palace should know, so he shouted so to make the enemy soldiers get out of the way quickly, and get out of the way without killing.
He wanted to save his wife and children, and when he saw that the palace was in front of him, he was anxious, and he didn't want to entangle too much with the miscellaneous soldiers, so as not to delay the time.
As a result, Yuwen Wen shouted like this, making him like a firefly in the night, very conspicuous, and the enemy soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and then rushed over with spears at him, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot.
The soldiers all know that the prime minister has offered a very high reward to this traitor who falsely claims to be the king of Xiyang, and the great wealth is in front of him, who can not be tempted?
Seeing that the other party was so ignorant, Yu Wenwen only felt that his blood was up: If you don't listen to what you say, then don't be a man!
