Chapter 163: Late Night Battle
PS: Tired!
The reason why Heihegou is called Heihegou is because there is a small stream less than three meters wide at the mouth of this valley, but it is bottomless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the morning, planks are laid on the creek and the horses are let out to graze. When the horses return in the evening, the planks are removed, and the black river is a natural barrier.
The generals of the Liaoguo Racecourse valued this point and set up the racecourse here.
With the existence of this black river, the Liao soldiers stationed at the mouth of the valley were a little lazy, gathering in twos and threes to fart and chat, and their vigilance was very low.
In the low-lying place not far from the Heihe ditch, the Quartet of people and horses lay on the ground, quietly checking the arming on the opposite side.
After all, it was Liangshan who first inquired about the news here, and how many people were stationed on the opposite side and how many people patrolled were naturally clear.
Therefore, the military advisors of the Quartet forces all listened quietly to Li Zhu at this time.
"There are 1,000 people guarding the Gukou Pass, and there are 10 teams of 100 people, patrolling non-stop in the Black River Valley. More than 2,000 people were stationed on both sides of the Black River Valley, and the remaining 6,000 were resting in the main camp, waiting for a change of guard.
Be careful, Taniguchi has dozens of large ballista machines in existence, and it is not a small threat to us. Therefore, we must take the pass at the first time and at any cost, and scrap their crossbow machine, otherwise what awaits us is heavy losses! ā
Qiao Daoqing whispered: "We already know this, the death squad has long been ready, just wait for these grassland barbarians to change their guards, we will attack!" ā
Li Zhu rolled his eyes, he had to wonder what was wrong, and after a pause, Li Zhu continued: "There is another point to pay attention to, when attacking the valley mouth, you must crush the fighting spirit of the barbarians with lightning speed, otherwise you will shock the horses, and 20,000 war horses will rush out of the valley, you know the end!" ā
Everyone is eyelids, less than 100 meters of the valley mouth, if the war horses are frightened and rush out in a swarm, these 9,000 people and horses are just 9,000 rotten meat, and absolutely no one can hide.
Deng Yuanjue said in a low voice: "We have a total of nearly nine thousand people, and we are also one in a hundred elite people, dealing with these straw bales who have not experienced battlefield killing, it is not easy to capture!" ā
Among the people and horses of the Quartet, it is undoubtedly Fang La's men and horses with the most powerful combat effectiveness, this is the consensus of the Quartet, and there is no dispute.
Liu Yongzheng smiled lightly: "Don't worry about this, let's still think about changing defenses, thunder strike, and defeat the Liao army!" ā
Li Zhu saw that the foreshadowing was almost over, so he whispered: "There is a garrison of 2,000 men and horses not far from us, and when the fight starts here in a while, there will be reinforcements over there, should we send a team of men and horses to stop them?" ā
The faces of the three of them turned dark, I damn it, I was calculated by Liang Shan again!
The opposite side has already begun to change its defense, and there is no room for everyone to think about it, so they gritted their teeth and sent a thousand people to block the reinforcements.
During this period of the change of defense, the vigilance of the Liao army dropped to the lowest. The people who had been stationed there all yawned and walked down, and the people who came didn't care about the situation around them.
At this moment, a thousand death squads organized by the Quartet came to the Black River with a wooden plank on their waists.
At this time, it was less than fifty meters away from the pass, and everyone carried the plank up, and with the order of the leader, the plank "Bangbang" fell, and a road to heaven appeared in front of everyone.
It was only a blink of an eye from erecting the plank to putting down the plank, and before the Liao army on the opposite side could react, the Quartet forces untied the strong crossbow on their waists and shot when they raised their heads.
"Whoosh."
A thousand crossbow arrows flew quickly to the pass, and the unprepared Liao army was shot down in a large area, and the mournful screams broke the quiet night.
After the Quartet had finished firing the first round of crossbow arrows, they flew out, and the crossbow arrows in their hands began the second volley.
At this time, the Liao army on the opposite side was already on guard, and there was no big result except for shooting a few unlucky eggs.
The distance of fifty meters, with the full strength of everyone, has reached the threshold in just ten seconds.
At this time, the Liao army finally began to counterattack, and the grassland warriors, there were few who could not shoot arrows, and at this time, the Liao army arrived later, holding bows and arrows, in one go, without the slightest obstacle.
However, Li Zhu and the others were not dry, and at the first time when the death squad attacked, the three hundred strong archers brought by Wang Qing were sent out.
These three hundred people in the dark night, the footsteps are not satisfied at all, the steady pace is the same, see the pass there are archers appeared, in five seconds of effort, all hold the strong bow, no one needs to command, the thumb-thick arrows, the tail feathers rotated, pierced into the flesh of the Liao army, blood instantly sprinkled all over the pass, this time the enemy who was hit by the arrow did not even scream, he was already dead, it can be seen that the strong archer is terrible.
The pass fell silent again, and the Liao army below did not dare to climb up at all, but on the ground, ready to block the Quartet.
It's a pity that these are the situations that Li Zhu and them expected, the death squad has already prepared, more than 100 strong soldiers are chopping the wooden gate with big axes, and the rest of the centaurs have a strong crossbow in their hands and start shooting.
"Whoosh!"
The Liao army was in a hurry to meet the enemy, and at this time their Shangguan was not in sight, if they didn't want to be killed, they could only find a place to cover and hide!
Just when the crossbow shot the Liao army, there was a "bang", the gate of the fortress was broken, and the death squads poured into the pass like a tide.
From beginning to end, the Liao army did not have time to prepare the crossbow machine, and was suppressed by the strong crossbows and strong archers, and there was no power to fight back.
Now when I saw the Quartet attacking the walled gate, I was immediately overjoyed, as long as I started hand-to-hand combat, the grassland man was not afraid of anyone!
The Liao army jumped out as soon as possible, took out the weapons they carried, and greeted the hand-to-hand combat with a cruel smile.
"Bell."
The two sides collided together, sparks flew everywhere, and the Liao army actually retreated half a step in the first round of the confrontation, which was unbelievable in the eyes of these proud Liao troops, and the Liao army, in an instant, changed their faces and prepared to fight hard.
But one-third of the people in the death squad are directly related to Fang La, and these brainwashed soldiers, once they go to the battlefield, they are a personal flesh bomb, and those who forget to die will go to it.
The Liao army was frightened, they saw the shadow of the Jurchens in these people, those barbarians wearing animal skins, holding maces, heavy axes, iron rods and other heavy weapons, fighting the same death.
The men and horses of the two sides were killing like tea, and then the supporting men and horses also rushed to the battlefield, joined them, and began to besiege the Liao army.
At this time, the general of the Liao army appeared, shouted loudly, and the soldiers resisted, and the men and horses behind him arrived immediately.
However, the Liao army was less than 2,000 people, and a group of them were killed by strong crossbows, and more than 200 were killed by strong archers, and more than 100 people fell in hand-to-hand combat, and now the remaining more than 1,000 people, a small half of them are still wounded, directly facing more than 8,000 elites, and they will collapse at the touch of a button, and run backwards. As for the companions who were left behind, they naturally couldn't care about it, or it was important to run for their lives.
Li Zhu and the four arrived at this time and commanded a part of the men and horses to clean up the remaining Liao army, while the army bypassed the battlefield and pursued the victory. (To be continued.) )
