40 Night Raid

Kang Shide has 500 Hebei soldiers under his command, and it is all the northern cavalry, this is the reliance on him who dares to stand up and ask for help, today's great tomorrow, the troops that can fight, in addition to Liaodong and Northwest, are Baoding soldiers and horses, as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, the world-famous Huaisi elite soldiers, Hui Chu Jian'er, with the continuous development of the southern economy, is no longer the courage of the year, Baoding soldiers are undoubtedly one of the few elite troops today.

In the battle of Zhuxian Town, the reason why Yang Wenyue lost was not because his soldiers and horses were not good, but because his comrades were not good, first Zuo Liangyu fled without a fight, and then the Sichuan soldiers ran away, and Yang Wenyue's soldiers and horses with him also showed a rout, which is the case, he also brought back thousands of seeds, which is already very good.

The layout of the peasant army's barracks has always been very simple, they are not professional soldiers, they have not read military books, they have studied military formations, they fight by stunned and courage, they are peasants, maybe it is not good, they are some outlaws, when they encounter those soldiers and horses who do not have much combat power, they can win by relying on these two, but when they encounter well-trained soldiers and horses, it will not work, after all, before picking up swords and guns, most of them are people with hoes, not professional soldiers, only a handful of people know military strategy. The reason why they are called thieves is the best proof, because they never wanted to settle down in one place, they just followed the leader everywhere, just had a bite to eat, and had nothing to worry about, so they changed from outcasts to thieves and outlaws.

The periphery of the camp is a baggage cart, and they don't have the leisure time to build the camp, and they are not going to stay here for a long time, just pass by and play a little by the way, so they will surround the periphery with the baggage cart to form a barrier, and then arrange some simple horse rejection piles or something, and it will become their camp.

Although it is already deep, there are not many patrolmen who come and go in the camp, they are all old fritters, and they still attach great importance to these precautions and something, and they can't always suffer in the same thing.

"Boom...... Boom ......" a firelight crossed the sky, a head-sized * bullet fell on the edge of the camp of the peasant army, just landed near a baggage truck, and suddenly exploded, the fire was overflowing, the projectiles in the ammunition were scattered and shot out, the banging sound was endless, a team of soldiers who had just walked nearby was very unlucky to be affected, a small team of thirty people, half of them fell to the ground and wailed, in pain.

"Enemy attack...... someone immediately shouted to warn the battalion.

The sound of the "boom ......" cannon did not end, one after another, exploding in the barracks, and at the same time, a war horse came out from west to east, like a ghost in the night, they were unkempt one by one, their faces were smeared with flowers, showing hideous teeth, very penetrating, like the Shura Grim Reaper who had escaped from hell.

"Kill ......" They rushed into the gap opened by the cannons, killing people wherever they went, picking up those braziers and fire racks for lighting and heating, and those stakes and branches that were burning with flames were picked everywhere, some fell on people, startling countless fire chips, and some fell on the tents, and quickly set the tents on fire.

Kang Shide took the lead, holding a spear, or stabbing or sweeping or picking, constantly reaping the lives of the rogue soldiers running around, venting the pent-up depression since the battle of Zhu Xianzhen, he originally had thousands of people, but in the battle of Zhu Xianzhen lost most of them, only a small number of people escaped with him, and they had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and now it was time to gush out.

At the same time, Zu Dale also followed in with men and horses, and followed in front of Kang Shide's vanguard army, the two armies combined, a thousand war horses, galloping in the camp, originally the camp did not set up any obstacles, except for the peripheral carts, there was nothing, and now they were bombarded by artillery fire to open a gap, so they were also lost to rely on the barrier to guard. On a river beach on the south bank of Rushui, Yang Wenyue had already heard the scout's return, and at the same time, he had already seen the light of fire coming from the direction of the enemy camp, and knew that the battle had begun.

"Brothers, you are all brought out of Baoding by my Yang Wenyue, how many of our brothers died at the hands of these traitors, now is the time for us to take revenge, brothers, kill with me!"

"Kill...... Kill, ......" Under the encouragement of Yang Wenyue, thousands of Baoding soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and rushed out, thinking of the brothers who died in the past, and remembering the brothers in the same village and township, they also burst out with indescribable power, supporting them to rush forward desperately to kill, they are thinking about killing the enemy and revenge at the moment, and how many soldiers and horses on the other side, how many people they have, have long forgotten.

The east and west sides launched an attack before and after, this sudden night attack, completely disrupted their position, Ma Shouying, Liu Xiyao, Hao Shaoqi and others, who were originally going to rest, heard the sound of shouting and killing from the periphery, and also rushed to the central commander's tent, they were all a little stunned, where did the military horses come from, they dared to sneak attack their 100,000 army.

Their 100,000 army is not the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the real 100,000 soldiers and horses, without any old and weak women and children, of which 30,000 or 40,000 are Li Zicheng's officers and soldiers who surrendered in Henan, and they all have some ability, and their team is no longer the wandering people who were beaten by the officials and soldiers in the early years, and now they are rogue Kou, the reason why they are called Kou is defined by what they have done on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also shows that they are all murderers, not an army of displaced people who have fled.

"Report ...... The officers and soldiers are coming......" A captain of the former army hurriedly came to the tent and reported to everyone.

"Where did the officers and soldiers come from, are they the county soldiers in Xiping City?" Ma Shouying asked.

"It's not! It was the Baoding soldiers, who came under the banner of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding. ”

"Haha%...... Whose soldiers and horses should I be, it turned out to be Yang Wenyue's defeated general, this person fought in Zhuxian Town, was killed by our army and fled in a hurry, was seriously injured, and then ran to Runing to hide, I didn't expect ah, he still has the courage to lead the army to attack at night, our army is 100,000, and he Runing Mansion is only more than 10,000 people, it is simply looking for death! Hao Shaoqi laughed excitedly, he heard that it was Yang Wenyue's soldiers and horses who came to sneak attack, he was not worried about anything at all, his subordinates were defeated, what was he afraid of?

Hao Shaoqi is also a master of art and bold, Ma Shou should have reservations, but Hao Shaoqi doesn't care about anything, the other party is just such a few people, what is there to worry about, even if there is an ambush, so what, in Henan, how many officers and soldiers, he still knows some, so he is not worried about any accidents.
