Chapter 202: Attacking Qilin Army
"Of course, this matter is indispensable for the cooperation of the Blue Dragon Legion, it is early summer, the weather is dry, and I plan to have a night attack tomorrow night. In this way, even if the enemy army suffers a heavy defeat, they will think that it is a night attack, and they will not be wary of the Qilin army. β
Wei Zhongquan nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked: "As far as I know, the war horse of the Qilin Army, with horseshoes on top of the horse's hooves, and a crisp voice, will it alert the enemy army?" β
"Hahaha......" Geng Gui suddenly laughed and arched his hand: "General Wei is really careful, yes, there is indeed a horseshoe nailed to the horse's palm of my Qilin army's war horse, but just a while ago, this general has invited the military department, and cooperated with the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make a batch of cloth, as long as it is wrapped in the horse's hooves and let the soldiers lead the way, the voice will be much quieter, and when the enemy camp is not far away, and then get on the horse and charge, the enemy army will be defeated." β
In this way, General Ben is relieved. By the way, just now the general also asked my Blue Dragon Legion to help, I don't know what the arrangements are? β
Geng Gui's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Since it is a surprise attack, we have to expand the results!" With just my Qilin Army, it is okay to suppress the enemy army, but this task of attacking the battalion and beheading it will be tiring the Qinglong Army. Not only that, but the day after the night attack, the enemy generals would definitely be furious and rashly attack. We can take this opportunity to fully cooperate with the five major legions and let the enemy army taste the power of cavalry! β
"This ......" Wei Zhongquan hesitated and said, "What does General Geng mean is to let the 120,000 soldiers of the four major legions cooperate with the Qilin Army to fight?" In that case, I'm afraid it's too risky, right? Moreover, His Majesty is not here, and General Ben has not mobilized the power of the other three major legions, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult. β
Geng Gui was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Dare to ask General Wei, do you want to welcome back Your Majesty?" β
"Yes! How can you not want to! Wei Zhong was all right, and said: "This general is loyal to Your Majesty, heaven and earth can be learned, this time to face the Sheng Army, the greatest hope is to welcome back Your Majesty!" β
"Then ask again, with our strength, even if my Qilin Army wins a night attack, how much is it possible to hit the border between Sheng and Dong countries, which are thousands of miles away?"
"This ......"
"Therefore, we must be quick and dangerous! Only by beating Sheng Guo hurt, taking advantage of their lack of reaction, and pushing thousands of miles, can he welcome back His Majesty! β
Wei Zhongquan pondered for a long time, sighed, and said, "General Ben naturally knows this truth, but ...... Alas, a certain person immediately went to repair a book, and sent it to the imperial court urgently, asking the queen to give an order, so that the other three legions could fully cooperate. β
"Very good, it depends on tomorrow's battle."
Wei Zhongquan was solemn and bowed: "A certain is not good at cavalry combat, Cangguo ...... Please, General Geng! β
Geng Gui was shocked, and hurriedly held Wei Zhongquan up: "General Wei's words are serious, Your Majesty knows the grace of the encounter, I Geng Gui has nothing to repay, and now my Shendi remnants and Her Royal Highness the princess are already subjects of Cangguo, and I, Geng Gui, am naturally also from Cangguo, and I will definitely die!" β
β¦β¦
Day 2, midnight.
All the soldiers of the Qilin Legion are all ready to fight.
Every cavalry soldier had a leaf in his mouth, which was to prevent inadvertently making any noise.
On the horse's hooves, a thick layer of cloth is wrapped.
On the horse's mouth, an iron ring is also covered, which is to prevent the horse from neighing.
More than 10,000 war horses quickly poured out of the fortress, and then headed towards the Shengguo camp.
On the other side, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion also took advantage of the dark night to follow behind the Qilin Army.
The camp was quiet, and everyone was sleeping in the middle of the night, and even the patrol soldiers were a little dozing off or chatting together.
Land of Three Arrows...... Two Arrows Away...... A stone's throw......
Go a little further and you'll be discovered.
"Get on the horse!"
Geng Gui gave an order, and the soldiers next to him ripped off the cloth on the horse's hooves, and then jumped on the war horse, and the soldiers behind saw this and did the same.
"Charge! Kill! β
Suddenly, outside the entire camp, the earth rumbled, and tens of thousands of war horses rushed into the camp of the Sheng army like fierce monsters, under the control of the knights!
"Boom, boomβ"
10,000 cavalry, with the overwhelming momentum, entered the camp of the Sheng army, and the low fence outside the barracks had no blocking effect on the cavalry.
After storming into the Sheng army camp, the cavalry first pulled the bows and crossbows in their hands and shot them, knocked over the braziers in the camp, and began to set fire everywhere with torches.
The soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion followed behind the cavalry, poured a pour of fire oil, and the place where they passed suddenly became a sea of fire.
The sleeping sergeant Sheng couldn't react, and he didn't even put on his coat, either he was shot by a crossbow arrow, or he was killed in the fire because the tent was on fire.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attackβ"
"Quick! There's an enemy attackβ"
The sound of panic sounded, and the hundreds of thousands of Sheng troops had no time to organize a formation to resist, and as soon as they got out of the tent, they were trampled and killed by the cavalry.
The camp of the Sheng army, which was quiet a moment ago, suddenly became a battlefield of Shura, and within several miles, it was wantonly trampled by the Qilin army with a strong speed advantage.
Even the power of the crossbow was also displayed at this time, and the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion, one by one, fully equipped, followed behind the Qilin Army to kill the enemy soldiers who were rushed to pieces.
"Boom-"
At this time, the gate of the fortress opened, and countless soldiers of the Green Dragon Legion rushed out from the inside, forming a flanking attack, surrounding the entire Sheng army camp.
The entire battlefield looks like a wall outside, and monsters inside are rampage, harvesting people's lives, like a gladiatorial arena.
Fear is spreading......
In front of the tall war horses, even the elite soldiers seem very small.
The Sheng soldiers were almost frightened, where there was any fighting spirit to resist, they could only fight and retreat, wanting to break out of the camp.
However, they did not get their way.
The Blue Dragon Legion around the periphery of the camp was like a hunt, slaughtering all these people, and even the enemy's main generals died in the chaos.
The power of the cavalry was highlighted at this moment, because it was an army tent, in order to be lighter, it was a very light wooden structure, and as soon as the horses were rammed, they all collapsed, and then they were engulfed by the spreading fire.
The fire lasted until dawn, and the continuous camp of the Sheng army was a piece of debris, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground.
"General, the enemy's corpses have been counted, a total of more than 136,000 people!" An adjutant general came to pay the ceremony, his face filled with excitement.
You know, this is equivalent to the strength of the entire Cangguo!
