The third volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperous era chapter fifty-six night attack
After the sun went down, the coolness brought by the breeze gradually dissipated the heat, but the sergeants who had been marching for a day were still sweating like rain, and those new recruits were digging trenches and various traps under the supervision of veterans, and the traps were full of sharpened sticks, and some of the newcomers who passed by could not help but feel cold.
"My lord, we're just staying for one night, do we need to be so cautious?" A staff member with a sharp mouth and a monkey tongue and two rat whiskers under his jaw asked puzzledly, you know, these recruits marched for a day during the day, and were frightened by the stones thrown down by the enemy from the bottom of the mountain halfway, both physically and mentally exhausted, although these trenches and traps can ensure the safety of camping, but if the other party does not come, these will be in vain, but will seriously affect the next day's march.
Yuwen is in the prime of forty years old, with a strong body, bulging muscles, a Chinese face, a long sword hanging from his waist, just standing at random, with a majesty, hearing the words of the staff, Yuwen smiled faintly: "No matter whether anyone will come to steal the camp at night, this official is to let these sergeants use up their energy, these people are forcibly conscripted into the army, many people have resentment in their hearts, after using up their energy, they will not think of running away or causing trouble at night, and it can also strengthen their military discipline, which is the so-called killing two birds with one stone." ”
"Your Excellency!"
"My lord is wise, not to mention killing two birds with one stone, it is simply killing three birds with one stone, the humble position has studied the experience of the prince leading the army several times, the prince is bold and likes to take risks, if he really dares to send someone to steal the camp tonight, he will definitely let him have no return."
……
All the staff praised one after another, but Yuwen was not happy, and this move was really unavoidable. After he received the prince's edict, he was afraid that it was the prince's trap. The trip was delayed, and only a few groups of scouts were sent to inquire about the news, and sure enough. Liang Shiyan was taken away by the crown prince, although he brought five hundred elites, he was still besieged, and Zhang Xu did not move for a long time, Yuwen immediately knew that the general trend had gone and their plot had been exposed. He was not willing to be caught, so he had to do something, and he really didn't have half a chance of winning in his heart, and he could only take one step at a time.
The white moonlight sprinkled from the sky, and the figures could be seen from a distance, such a night was not suitable for a sneak attack, and at Duan Da's insistence, all the cavalry still quietly touched a few hundred meters away from the rebel camp. At the moment, there is no way to move forward, otherwise as long as the other party's sentinels are not all asleep, they will definitely be discovered.
"General Liang, the rebels are ahead. How about a general as a striker? Duan Da said unceremoniously.
The enemy camp ahead was silent, except for a few sentries walking back and forth. I can't see the slightest abnormality, the distance of hundreds of meters can only be reached in a short time for the cavalry, if the other party is really unprepared, even if it is found now, I am afraid it will be too late to deal with it.
Liang Mo faintly felt a hint of danger in the dark, but now he was no longer allowed to refuse, and reluctantly passed on his order softly: "Get on the horse." ”
The Puzhou army lying on the ground stood tall and stepped on the horse's back, looking from a distance, it seemed that a high wall had suddenly risen on the ground, and Liang Mo first pinched the horse's belly: "Rush!" ”
The horse's hooves were already wrapped in cotton cloth, and the sound of the cavalry was not too loud when it first moved, but as more and more cavalry started, the cotton cloth still couldn't cover the sound of thousands of horses' hooves, and a muffled thunderous sound soon formed on the ground, and the rebels' tents in the distance had already reacted, and a terrible voice sounded: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
The 700 cavalry Puzhou troops were silent, and what they had to do now was to rush into the enemy camp in the shortest possible time, before the enemy could react, and then they could massacre the enemy.
"Boom." Liang Mo, who rushed to the forefront, only felt that he stepped off the war horse and was falling towards a big pit, he was taken aback, and slapped his mount hard, the mount screamed sadly, and accelerated to fall into the pit, but Liang Mo jumped off the horse and fell to the ground with this beat.
"There's a trap, stop." Liang Mo roared, but all the cavalry were moving at high speed, even if they heard Liang Mo's shout, they couldn't stop, and the sound of "boom, boom" soon came from around, as well as the mournful screams of horses and sergeants when they were pierced by the sharp sticks in the trap.
Several horses crashed in the direction of Liang Mo, seeing that not only the knight behind him would fall into the trap, but Liang Mo was either going to die under the horse's hooves or be knocked into the trap, Liang Mo roared wildly, and punched the neck of the galloping horse that was rushing towards him, with a loud "bang", the horse that crashed into Liang Mo's galloping horse roared, the huge body was crooked, and there was a loud bang, and he fell to the edge of the trap, and the knight on the horse was thrown down and fell heavily to the ground, unable to distinguish between life and death.
Stopped by this fallen horse, he rushed forward
Xiang's knight was suddenly in a mess, but fortunately, no one bumped into him again, and the big one grabbed the horse and hurriedly turned around.
"Shoot!" A loud shout came from the rebel camp not far away.
"Buzz! Airplanes! The bowstring sounded, and the sky was suddenly black, almost obscuring the moonlight, and countless arrows flew towards the knights who had just barely reined in their horses at the edge of the trap.
Liang Mo found out that in just a short period of time, since countless archers had gathered on the edge of the enemy camp, seeing countless sharp arrows shooting towards him, there was nowhere to avoid, Liang Mo grabbed the hind legs of the dead horse that had just been broken by himself, and with a loud shout, he lifted the heavy dead horse and blocked it in front of him.
"Porphyry, porphyria, porphyry." Countless sharp arrows fell, inserting the horse corpse in front of Liang Mo densely, and at the same time, he felt a hot pain in his shoulder, knowing that he was still hit by an arrow, the strength in his hand was discharged, and the raised horse corpse fell to the ground, shaking the ground and trembling.
Liang Mo knew that if he didn't immediately escape from the range covered by the opponent's bow and arrow, the next salvo would be when he turned into a hedgehog, so he withdrew his legs and ran backwards as fast as he could.
—
"Buzz." Liang Mo had already heard the sound of bows and arrows behind him, and his scalp suddenly became numb, and how could he be faster than the bow and arrows with the movements of his legs.
"General, come up." A sergeant saw Liang Mo clearly in the moonlight, stretched out his hand and pulled it towards Liang Mo, Liang Mo had already jumped on the horse's back as soon as he used his strength.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! There was the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air all around him, Liang Mo was stunned, snorted, and there was a hot pain in his back.
"General, how's it going?" The sergeant in front heard Liang Mo's muffled snort and asked with concern.
"Can't die, run!"
"Yes!"
It wasn't until they ran hundreds of meters that the sound of sharp arrows behind them was completely gone, and the speed of everyone's horses slowed down, and everyone couldn't help but look behind, and the enemy camp hundreds of meters away had already lit a lot of torches, and they could see their shadows and hear their cheers.
Liang Mo jumped off the horse, the blood on his body was dripping and flowing, Liang Mo didn't feel it, his whole face was blue, this battle was too bad, he didn't find out if the other party was trapped, and he chose a night with such a bright moon, which was simply to send his own people to death.
Duan Da rode over on horseback, pointed at Liang Mo and asked loudly, "Why don't you rush in?" ”
Liang Mo looked coldly at Duan Da who was riding on the horse, and barely stopped his anger: "General Duan, the other party has already prepared, and there are traps all around, so you have to return." ”
Duan Da was only a few hundred meters behind, although he could see vaguely by the moonlight, he had to see that when the Puzhou army was about to rush into the enemy's camp, there was a sudden roar of horses neighing, and the sound of the opponent's sharp arrows breaking through the air, so big that he could guess the scene in front, how much the Puzhou army was dead or alive, Duan Da would not feel distressed, and by asking, he had to avoid Liang Mo pursuing him for the crime of improper command.
Duan Da saw that Liang Mo didn't say anything inferior, and he couldn't help but have some sneering: "Since this is the case, then it's no wonder that the general, tonight's attack on the camp is over, the general quickly bandages the wounds, counts the casualties, let's retreat a few miles to rest." ”
Liang Mo stopped talking, turned around and walked in the direction of the injured subordinates, Duan Da retreated, commanding his subordinates to temporarily serve as guards, and the Puzhou army allocated arrows to each other's wounded companions to clean and bandage, and at the same time counted the casualties, and it took more than half an hour for the wounded soldiers to bandage well, and the arrows on Liang Mo's body were also taken down.
"How many of us died?"
"Back to the general, there are one hundred and twenty-one brothers gone." The Puzhou soldier who replied choked up, these people are usually like brothers, but now there are less than 580 people left in the 1,000 Puzhou army, and naturally everyone is sad.
"My lord, this surnamed Duan doesn't treat us as human beings, since he is going to attack at night, why doesn't he personally lead the team, it is clear that he is sending us to death, it is better to fight with them." A soldier said hatefully.
"Yes, fight." Looking at the officers and soldiers on guard in the distance, the Puzhou army, which was unwilling to work for the prince, became excited.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't forget that the lord is still in the hands of the court, if anyone dares to stop talking nonsense, don't blame General Ben for being polite." Liang Mo said viciously.
At the mention of Liang Shiyan, the impulsive Puzhou Army just now was suddenly deflated, Liang Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, now the strength of both sides is about the same, but nearly half of them have been injured, even if they want to fight, they may not be able to fight, no matter what, I have to endure it
