Chapter 43: Stealing the Camp (Part II)
Halim's only choice was to make a surprise attack, taking advantage of the swiftness of the cavalry to rush into the enemy's camp like lightning, and the enemy's bed crossbows and catapults would be completely useless.
As long as he stormed the enemy's camp, Halim believed that his battle-hardened sons could easily annihilate the more than 1,000 infantry who were not skilled in horsemanship.
"Third brother, you take a hundred people to attack the left wing."
"Understood, Boss."
"Second brother, you also take a hundred men to attack the right flank of the enemy camp,
"Boss, just look at it! Grandpa, I must cut off the skulls of these turtle sons. ”
Halim, the old mother thief, was noncommittal to the second child's words, but continued to arrange:
"Remember, when you are seventy meters away from the enemy's camp, you must start firing rockets, and do not hesitate to charge at all, you must rush into the enemy's camp like lightning, and strangle the enemy, so that their bed crossbows and hand crossbows are completely useless."
"Boss, just put your heart in your stomach!"
"Let's continue to quietly advance two miles first, and when we are a hundred meters away from the campfire, we will light a fire and raid together."
The second and third masters of Qingfeng Village nodded yes, and then went to dial the people. I have to say that the quality of these bandits, the entire process of transferring soldiers and horses, there was not the slightest panic, and no one made a loud noise, everything was carried out quietly.
The bonfire not far away swayed in the autumn wind, from time to time there were sparks splashed out, fluttering in the wind, more than 500 horse thieves led the horses quietly to the camp, about 100 meters away from the bonfire, Halim raised his hand, and said softly:
"Ignition."
The horse thief with the fire fold on his body immediately blew the fire fold in his hand, and the horse thief with the torch in his hand immediately lit the torch on the fire fold, and the rest of the horse thieves immediately took out a rocket that had been made and lit it, and then bit the ignited rocket in his mouth, and then flew on the horse.
All this, the horse thief's movements are smooth, and there is no stagnation in the middle, this is compared to the soldiers under Yun Mo, there are too many elites, Yun Mo's soldiers are not the slightest bit different from others in addition to strict military discipline.
In just one minute, the main force of horse thieves led by Halim had completed all the preparations for the surprise attack, the rockets had been ignited, the riding bow was already in hand, and the war knife was already at the waist.
Halim had great confidence in his men, and once again he raised his hand and waved it in the direction of the camp:
"Kill."
A group of horse thieves immediately clamped the war horses under their crotches, and the war horses "chirped" and screamed, and then charged forward like lightning.
The sound of the horse's hooves resounded through the night, and the yellow sand stirred up by the horses' hooves glowed with a golden halo under the light of the fire.
Yun Mo hadn't slept since he set up camp, and the golden eagle that had been hovering above his head for a long time during the day had already told him that the bandits in Qingfeng Village were already well aware of his situation.
In this case, Yun Mo would never dare to be careless, even if Yun Mo wanted to sleep, he didn't dare to sleep, Yun Mo, who was leading the troops alone for the first time, was actually nervous and uneasy in his heart, even if he was asked to sleep, he couldn't sleep.
If I don't feel sure, I went to patrol the camp, once it was not enough, just make a patrol, just take a walk, when Yun Mo patrolled the camp for the third time, hundreds of torches suddenly appeared outside the camp.
Before setting up camp, Yun Mo sent a scout horse to carefully search the vicinity, there was no one here at all, and in the middle of the night, hundreds of torches suddenly appeared outside his camp, no need to think about it, there was an enemy who came to steal the camp.
The sudden appearance of torches is the signal for stealing the camp, and that's all the TV writes! Yun Mo didn't hesitate to pull out his saber and shouted:
"Enemy attack, everyone in place."
Although the eight personal soldiers who followed Yun Mo were a little panicked, they were not yet at a loss, because their leader had already climbed onto a carriage at this time and was giving orders without fear.
In ancient times, because of the backwardness of communications, if you want to convey military orders when the black light is blind, you can only rely on roaring, and several pro-soldiers hurriedly repeated Yun Mo's order:
"Enemy attack, everyone in place." The shouts resounded over and over again in the camp, and the sleeping soldiers, after hearing the shouts, immediately turned over and got up, and their sleepy eyes were hazy before they could figure out what was going on, so they could only instinctively run to their posts.
Fortunately, these soldiers were lying in their clothes, and they also held the Shenwei crossbow in their arms, but in the process of running, these soldiers were so flustered that some of them were even knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The enemy who stole the camp had already begun to charge, and only a few soldiers on Yun Mo's side ran to their posts.
Can this make Yun Mo die in a hurry, killing people? Forget it! If you really kill a few people at this time, it will only make the soldiers more flustered and frightened, and they will collapse.
The huge role of the crippled veterans of the Zhang Ying tribe was revealed, they were missing arms and legs, but this did not hinder their prestige among the recruits, because these recruits were all trained by them, even Yun Mo, the main general, learned the kung fu from them.
"Quick, quick, lineup."
"Stand in three columns, the same as you usually train."
"The bed crossbow is online, hurry up."
"Your turtle son's post is in a catapult, go back to your post quickly."
The veterans were loud and loud, they turned a deaf ear to the horse thieves charging outside, and they calmly put their ranks in order.
Looking at the defense system that was gradually taking shape, the panic in Yun Mo's heart finally disappeared, but his calves began to spasm, but at this time, Yun Mo must not show the slightest timidity, otherwise the soldier's fighting passion will disappear.
The horse thieves' cavalry was so fast that in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed through the campfire, less than a hundred meters from the sack wall, and as long as these horse thieves were charging forward thirty meters, their cavalry bows could be thrown.
But Yunmo's team had just taken their places, the bed crossbow was being wound, and the catapult was twisting the catapult.
You can't wait, you have to attack at this time, otherwise the horse thieves will rush to you, if they crash into the camp, those recruits under Yun Mo will definitely be killed.
Yun Mo endured the sharp pain caused by the cramps in his calves, and he waved the Tang knife in his hand and shouted:
"Teams are free to attack."
Several disabled veterans also knew that the situation was urgent, and many soldiers had not yet pressed the arrow box on the Shenwei crossbow in their hands because they were nervous, and less than a third of the soldiers were ready to fire.
No matter what, as many crossbow bolts as you can shoot! When the recruits get used to it, they will gradually overcome the fear of being on the battlefield, because this is how the disabled veterans have come.
People are not born to fight, it is a battlefield where people will kill bloodily is full of fear, fear comes from the unknown, fear is a sensory feeling, when people adapt to the environment, fear will quickly disappear without a trace.
