Chapter 954: Reinforcements
The time was about three o'clock on the seventh day of the first month of November, and when it was close to Chou, nearly 20,000 Wei troops crossed the unknown river and attacked the Han army camp on the west side of the river bank at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Under the dark night sky, the campfires of the Han army camp were as striking as torches in the dark, so that the Wei army, who had crossed the river from various sections of the river, effortlessly found the direction of the Han army camp, gathered from several landing points, and rushed towards the Wei army camp like a torrent.
In fact, the Green Crows who crossed the river early did not solve all the patrolling Han soldiers, and the patrol Han soldiers who were not assassinated by the Green Crows also noticed that something was wrong when more and more Wei soldiers flocked to this Han military camp, and hurriedly issued a warning signal.
However, it was too late.
Because of this long-planned attack, the Wei army had no reservations.
The Wei soldiers ate all the food on the day before they set off, which made every Wei soldier clearly understand the essence of this attack - they have no way out!
In this case, the warning signals of a few teams of Korean army guards could not shake the will of the Wei soldiers at all, because they had no way out, even if they faced the most dangerous situation, they could only face the occasion.
"Kill ββ!"
Knowing that there was no way out for their side to retreat, the Wei army burst out from the very beginning with a strong combat force that frightened the Han soldiers.
When the camp gate on the east side of the Han army camp was opened by the crows, the Wei soldiers poured into the camp like a tide, killing people when they saw them, killing the Korean defenders who rushed to the rescue in the camp and retreated.
After that, the Wei army ignored the remnants of the Han soldiers in the west camp, gathered people to flock to the middle camp of the Han camp, and then, Zhai Huang attacked the north camp, Sun Shuke hit the south camp, nearly 20,000 Wei troops attacked the west camp, the middle camp, the north camp, and the south camp of the Han army camp at the same time.
"The Wei Army's Offensive ...... How ferocious!'
At the first time, the generals such as Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying felt the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army this time, as well as the intimidating momentum of the Wei army.
In all fairness, Jin Di, Storm Kite and others have fought such a long war with the Wei State, and they have encountered several Wei armies before and after, except for the Northern Third Army of the Wei general Jiang Contempt, they have never encountered such a fierce Wei army.
What's more, the Northern Third Army under the command of Wei General Jiang Wei is only violent, and the rest of the troops are not as good as the South Korean army in terms of training and weaponry; But the Wei army in front of him is fierce, well-trained, and well-equipped, far stronger than the three northern armies.
That Wei pawn seemed to be a vicious beast in human skin, and his eyes were shining with fierce light, as if he wanted to tear apart all the enemies in front of him.
"Team Ranten...... Charge! β
"Xiang left the team...... Charge! β
"Tribute Infant Team...... Charge! β
In the middle camp of the Han battalion, one after another thousand Wei troops charged the formation of the Korean army without hesitation.
The Wei saber and shield soldiers who rushed to the front row, wielding heavy shields and sharp swords, rushed headlong into the defense line of the Korean infantry, and shattered the defense line.
The swordsmen of the Han army, this kind of light infantry, in the current terrain where the battlefield space is not sufficient, finally exposed their weak side - perhaps because they are wearing light armor, they are indeed more agile than the heavy infantry of the Wei army, but the question is that in the current crowded environment, where do they have the space to flicker around?
On the contrary, the Wei heavy infantry broke out in this environment, but it burst out with a far more powerful dominance than on an open battlefield.
With the heavy and sturdy armor, the sword and shield soldiers of the Wei State used their own advantages to comprehensively suppress the Korean infantry.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! β
A South Korean general pointed to the scuffle in front of him and shouted with all his might.
Hearing this order, the crossbowmen of the Han army under his command looked at each other.
Because the chaotic battlefield presented in front of them at this moment is not the neatly arranged battle between the two armies in the past, but a melee, you are in me, I am in you, if you cover the entire battlefield with a rain of arrows, you will definitely injure your own soldiers by mistake.
What's more, the Wei sabers and shield soldiers are all heavily armored, and their defense against arrows and crossbows is high, as long as they are not shot by Han crossbows at close range, they can continue to fight with a rain of arrows.
But the swordsmen of the Korean army did not have this confidence, and the light armor on their bodies could not stop the crossbow shots of their own crossbowmen.
In this situation, the crossbowmen of the ROK army could not help but be a little afraid to shoot at the area with a large number of soldiers on both sides, so as not to cause a large-scale accidental injury to friendly troops.
In this case, the offensive of the Wei saber and shield soldiers became more and more ferocious, even if the Han general Storm Kite personally commanded, it was inevitable that the entire defense line would be torn apart by the Wei soldiers.
"Damn it! Can't rush through! β
A South Korean army general scolded hatefully.
γβ¦β¦γ
The storm kite didn't say a word, frowning and staring at the chaotic battlefield ahead.
I have to say that the attack of the Wei army this time was premeditated, and this Wei army had a clear division of labor among each other, some were responsible for intercepting the Korean army, and some were responsible for setting fire to the camp.
"Bang-"
A blazing tent collapsed, and the burning tent blocked the path of a group of Wei soldiers.
However, this group of Wei soldiers did not seem to see the flames in front of them, protected their faces and chests with their shields, and rushed through this sea of fire.
During this period, several unlucky Wei soldiers were crushed to the ground by the collapsed tents due to burning, but even so, these Wei soldiers still did not have the slightest intention of flinching and fearing.
This made the violent kite once again confirm how fierce the Wei army in front of him was.
The battle in the middle camp lasted for most of the hour, although the Wei army did not really conquer the middle camp, but the Han soldiers and soldiers could not expel the Wei soldiers who entered the camp, and the two soldiers were deadlocked.
Only the fire in the middle camp burned more and more, so that after the killing, the soldiers on both sides were simply in the midst of the fire.
"General!"
Jin Huang's lieutenant Qing Yao led a team of infantry to the location where the violent kite was, wiped the stains on his face, and said urgently: "These Wei soldiers are crazy!" They set fire to the camp with their lives, and the fire in the camp will be uncontrollable! β
The storm kite frowned and glanced around at the camp that was burning everywhere, and said in a deep voice: "Order the whole army to withdraw from the camp!" β¦β¦ In the wilderness outside the camp, a decisive battle with the Wei army! β
"A decisive battle outside the camp?" Qing Yao looked at the violent kite in surprise and asked in astonishment, "Will the Wei army follow our army to a decisive battle outside the camp?" They succeeded in this sneak attack and burned down our army's camp, so they should retreat, right? β
"......" The storm kite glanced at Qingyao and said nothing.
Will the Wei army be content to burn down his barracks?
Are you kidding!
That Wei Gongzi was scheming and diverted the cavalry in the camp from the mountain, how could he burn down the camp of his Korean army here?
Storm Kite had no doubt that the purpose of the Wei army in the Weiqiu area was to defeat their Korean army.
This is the only chance for this Wei army at present, if this army is satisfied with burning down the camp of the Han army, then when the more than 20,000 Korean cavalry on the east side of Weiqiu at this moment learn that the camp has been attacked, and rush to help, the Wei army will not even have the only chance to recover its disadvantage.
As it turned out, Storm Kite's guess was correct.
In the following half an hour or so, when the Han soldiers abandoned the camp and moved to the wilderness outside the camp, the Wei soldiers gave hot pursuit, so that the two armies slowly moved towards the wilderness outside the camp almost in a melee with each other.
This may be the most chaotic battle between the Han army of Shangdang and the Su Wang army so far, neither army has a so-called formation to speak of, and the northern suburbs, southern suburbs, and western suburbs are full of chaotic situations in which Han soldiers and Wei soldiers are fighting each other.
At this time, the entire Korean camp was already burning, as if it was acting as a light on the battlefield.
About 30,000 Han soldiers, and nearly 20,000 Wei troops, fought from late night until dawn, only killing corpses everywhere, and the mountains were full of corpses, and the red blood stained the land.
Whether it was Storm Kite or Zhao Hongrun, they were all shocked by the tenacity of the other party's soldiers.
When it was almost dawn, the two armies of Han and Wei on this battlefield still did not distinguish the winner or loser.
However, it is undeniable that the Han army has gradually shown a weak state, and the Wei army, on the other hand, is still fierce and unstoppable after several hours of fierce fighting.
"Actually pushed our army to this point......
Seeing that his own army was gradually showing signs of defeat, the violent kite looked at the Wei army's main formation in the distance like a torch, and looked at the royal flag of "Wei, Su Wang Run" erected there at some point.
It was obviously a situation in which more than 30,000 infantry and more than 20,000 cavalry of the Han army besieged nearly 20,000 Wei troops in the Weiqiu area, but they were cleverly tricked by the Wei Gongzi, who first deceived more than 20,000 cavalry from the mountain, and then led nearly 20,000 Wei troops to attack the Han army camp at night, forcing the 30,000 Han troops into such a desperate situation.
Even if it is a violent kite, he admires that Wei Gongzirun quite a lot.
γβ¦β¦ It's a pity that this is the end of it.'"
The kite-like turned its head and glanced to the north of the battlefield, only to see that in the north, a cloud of dust had been raised faintlyβthe dust raised by thousands of South Korean cavalry as they marched to this side of the battlefield.
It turned out that after sensing the plan last night, the storm kite sent a cavalry to quickly ask for help from the more than 20,000 cavalry sent to the east side of Weiqiu, so that after several hours, it finally waited for thousands of Korean cavalry to rush to support.
These thousands of cavalry who rushed to help, combined with the surviving Korean infantry here, were enough to defeat Wei Gongzirun's army.
"That's it, Wei Gongrun. However, there is no need to be ashamed of this defeat, whether it is you or the Wei army under your command, it can be called one of the few strong enemies that I have encountered in half my life......"
Storm Kite muttered to herself.
From the side, his guards heard the muttering of the storm kite, and turned his head to look at his general with some curiosity, but out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glimpsed that in the direction of the high wolf in the southwest, the fire flashed, and there was faint fire smoke rising in the sky.
"High wolf? How could it be ......?
