Chapter 859: Fireworks Fall on the Night of Killing

The material reserve base of the Persian army, that is, the place of grain and grass support, was set up near Jiuquan earlier. And as the battle line continued to advance, not long ago, it finally moved to the side of the camp of Wuwei County.

This camp, which occupies a radius of twenty or thirty miles, is heavily guarded. In addition to the outer periphery guarded by camel formations, all the big tents are cowhide gold roofs, impervious to wind and rain. It can be said that it is a heavy place for military aircraft, with spears and bows heavily guarded, and those who are close to them will be shot and killed.

It's a boring errand for the Guardians. They can't go into battle to kill, they can't go out to loot casually, and all the credit and honor will hardly have a chance to fall on them. Even so, tens of thousands of horses did not dare to slack off. Patrol day and night to ensure the safety of grain and grass.

Recently, logistical supplies have been sufficient. The military rations provided by the Han army have not yet been eaten, and all kinds of materials and food that have been plundered from the countries of the Western Regions have been piled up in warehouses. These were all necessary to ensure that the army attacked the Han Dynasty, so although the war was now suspended, several Persian generals in charge still took turns to be on duty and were very closely guarded.

However, in the minds of these Persians, who were not fighting troops, they did not think that there would be any danger here. Those people from the Western Regions who were burned, killed and looted, even if they were full of resentment in their hearts, borrowed a hundred of their courage, and it was expected that no one would dare to come to this important military place to make trouble. The rabble of the Western Regions countries was never in the eyes of the Persian warriors. Everyone has nothing to do, and they wish there was a chance to kill!

As for the Han army, the generals really didn't believe that any Han would have the courage and ability to dare to cross the Wuwei camp of hundreds of thousands of troops and run here to spread wilderness.

However, nothing is impossible in the world. In this world, some people are born to be good at creating miracles on the battlefield, they use soldiers, quiet as a virgin, as fast as a rabbit, elusive, surprisingly winning! The title of a famous general is by no means easy to obtain.

It's like Li Ling, who just turned eighteen this year. However, it has been pinned on by many. In fact, a young kid like him from a famous family, even if he doesn't have to work so hard, he will have a great future waiting for him. In the past years of the Han Dynasty, countless families in Chang'an have been recommended in this way.

However, as the only single seedling of the Li family in Longxi, Li Ling never disdained to rely on the power of the sect, let alone rely on the influence of the flying general Li Guang. He believes that he is fully capable of going to the battlefield to create a more brilliant future.

The wind is blowing, and the sand and dust are rising again. It was the night of the murder in the dark moon, and the wind was high and the day was set on fire! The Great Han Flying Dragon Army, which had traveled more than 100 miles, suddenly appeared in this dark and gloomy night.

"Ahead is where the Persian army is located. Our mission tonight is to burn everything here! All of you must remember that this battle must be fought quickly, not in love. Our goal is not to kill the enemy, but to be able to escape with all our body while burning the enemy's food and grass...... Do you get it? ”

The muffled promises of the thousands of cavalry behind him were quickly drowned out in the howling wind. This well-disciplined army is uniform, like an arm. Their blades were painted inky, and their horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton felt, moving through the darkness and quickly approaching the Persian camp, like a band of ghosts to complete an important mission.

The plan of sending elite cavalry to surprise attack Persian baggage was an extremely important part of Yuanzhao's overall combat deployment. And this arduous task, he handed over to Li Ling and the Flying Dragon Army.

Although Yuan Zhao didn't want to give such a dangerous task to Li Ling at first for safety reasons, he finally changed his mind. If the eagle wants to soar into the clouds, after all, it is indispensable to the test of wind and thunder. Since Li Ling has chosen this path of a famous general, he must learn to let go and let him realize his potential.

"No matter what, you're going to come back alive!"

This was the only entrustment Yuan Zhaomu said when he saw him off. The danger of this battle, Yuan Zhao has predicted several times. Perhaps, it was not difficult to raid and burn the Persians' baggage camps when the other side was defenseless. But the difficult thing is that after the mission is successful, how to successfully get out of the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if he leads the troops, he is not completely sure.

With one more breath, you can break through to the Persians' alert range. Li Ling took a deep breath, his eyes brightened. Thinking of the solemnity in the master's eyes, he raised the long knife in his hand high, and whispered in his heart.

"I'm going to bring everyone back...... Master, rest assured! ”

The young general's sword is the order to start the battle. The Iron Riders behind them no longer concealed their murderous aura. Where the lights are lit up in front of them, that's where they're targeting. As the distance got closer, a patrolling Persian warrior finally noticed that something was wrong. Exclamations and warnings began to sound one after another, and the fierce battle began at this moment.

In fact, it had only been more than two days, and the Persian general who was on duty tonight was just about to take a nap when he was suddenly awakened by a panicked voice. Someone hurriedly came to report that an unidentified cavalry was coming through the night.

The Persian general leaped to his feet and shouted orders to inform the others to prepare to meet the enemy. Then he personally led the team to jump on the war horse and intercept the incoming soldiers and horses.

The Persians, who were overconfident, did not set up ditches and antlers around the camp. Because this is only a temporary place of baggage, it may change places at some point as the Persian army advances. In that case, they are too lazy to bother to do such useless things.

It's just that they never imagined that just because of this moment of laziness and negligence, it will cause irreparable serious consequences.

The sound of killing is boiling, and the arrows are raining down. The Wyvern cavalry who began to charge raised the speed of their horses to the extreme, like a rolling torrent, and in the blink of an eye, they broke through to the periphery of the Persian camp. Archery in the dark of night was inherently inaccurate, and the defensive forces organized by the chaotic Persian warriors in a panic did not cause any substantial damage to the Wyvern Army.

In moments like these, speed is the key to victory. Moreover, to the great joy of Li Ling and the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army, there were no obstacles in front of the Horse Pingchuan in the range of this best charge.

Persian...... This is simply an open embrace to be trampled by iron hooves! So what's polite?

Li Ling, who had thought that he would be damaged before attacking the camp, immediately adjusted his battle formation. There is no need for flank cover now, just feel free to boldly enter in depth.

When the war horse leaped over the heads of the first row of Persian warriors like a bolt of lightning, the long knife in his hand turned into a ruthless bloody blade that harvested life.

The edge that has been strictly honed by Yuan Zhao for many years has finally bloomed with an incomparably sharp momentum in the dark night of the Western Regions. For a long time, Li Ling has always had a goal in his heart that he wants to surpass. The achievements achieved by Master Yuanzhao naturally did not dare to think about it. But the senior sister who has made him afraid of three points since he was a child, her majesty, one day, he will surpass it in an all-round way!

Suddenly encountering such a powerful opponent, the Persians, who were already psychologically defenseless, were instantly overwhelmingly forced to retreat again and again. And, it's out of control.

Once the thousands of Wyvern Dragon Warriors followed their general and slaughtered without any scruples, there was hardly the slightest obstacle in their path. The severed limbs were covered with blood, and the screams of terror were endless.

In the midst of the joyful killing, the Wyvern Army did not forget the mission of this trip. As they rushed forward, each man tossed a few leather bags on his horse's back into the cowhide tents he passed. The leather sac was full of black fire oil, and after the closed leather sac was cracked, it flowed everywhere.

The Persian warriors on patrol suffered heavy casualties. By the time the general, who had arrived first, led his army to intercept the Han cavalry, they had already broken through to the center of the camp.

The Persian general was furious, roared like thunder, and slashed the main general of the Han army with his horse. However, he only heard a sneer in the night, and his head flew into the sky, and he didn't understand how the other party's knife could be so fast until he died!

Li Ling is not only fast in the knife and fast in the horse, but he is also quick when he sees the opportunity. Although the battle went smoothly beyond his imagination, he knew very well in his heart that the most difficult and dangerous situation was not now, but the siege after alarming the Persian base camp that was only more than ten miles away. Therefore, if you can complete the task quickly, you must not delay for half a minute in retreating.

After killing the Persian general who didn't know his identity and name in front of him with a knife, Li Ling was not in love with war. Yuan Zhao had already told him that even the Persian army stationed in this camp numbered tens of thousands, and if they were entangled, it would be difficult to get out.

"Passing through the camp...... Kill! ”

Li Ling took the lead in opening the way with a knife and a horse, and the blockers were invincible. All the Wyvern warriors followed closely behind, almost non-stop, rushing forward. It took less than half an hour to enter from one side of the camp and then to get out from the other.

The whole camp finally boiled over. All the Persian warriors who got the news were the first to put on armor and swords and chased them in their direction.

After all passing through the camp, the Wyvern Army changed formation, and while reducing the speed of their horses, they had already followed the general's order to return their swords and sheath their swords, and the arrows were wound, and with a whistle, thousands of feathered arrows were all shot towards the place they had just passed.

The arrows of these arrows are coated with specially treated phosphorus, and when they rub against the air when they pierce the night sky, small flames ignite. Looking through the eyes of the young general, it was as bright as the fireworks he had seen in Changle Plateau that year.

The love in his heart had just risen, and those fireworks had already fallen. Then, the flames soared, and suddenly the earth was ......!

"History of the Han Empire, Famous Generals, Biography of Li Ling": "...... On the day of Yin, the tomb took the appearance of a young man, and the Flying Dragon Army went west out of Dunhuang, attacked at night for a hundred miles, burned the Persian army, and killed and injured many people...... After the army returned, Yuan Gong personally stroked his back and admired ......! ”
