Chapter 1222: Night Battle
Voice...... It's the sound! With the experience of escaping death on the mountain, Jia Hua understood very quickly, he was still a little uncertain, but now he is sure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hear the sound and shoot the arrow? How can it be? "All the generals looked incredulous, with the gradual destruction of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Army has long existed in name only, everyone has heard of the name of the shooting battalion, but few have really seen it.
As for the Tang army, the generals of Eastern Wu knew that this army was very strong, but as for how strong it was, they didn't know much. After all, Soochow was located in Jiangdong and did not have many opportunities to fight against the Tang Army.
They never imagined that an army would be so strong.
"Mingjin, let the brethren stand down!" Jia Hua didn't explain much, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
He didn't know the answer to this question, he only knew that he had to find a way to capture the mountain, not only to consolidate the position of this acting general, but also to make meritorious contributions.
The Fuchun Mountain position was lost in his hands!
If you can't complete this task, let alone be promoted, whether you will lose face, and it is difficult to say whether the frightened Sun Quan will use it to put out the fire.
What's more, after the Tang army attacked Fuchun Mountain, they did not take the opportunity to rush down the mountain to expand the results, but stubbornly defended the mountain, which also brought him great unease.
If the raiding force really takes advantage of the situation, it may not be able to achieve the desired result, but it is still an opportunity. As a result, the Tang Army easily gave up the opportunity to raid, is there any meaning in this?
Although he couldn't see through the mystery, Jia Hua believed that the enemy army would not be so short-sighted, and it would definitely be full of murderous opportunities. Only a counteroffensive and capturing the hill can disrupt the enemy's plans.
"When, when, when!" As soon as the gong sounded, all the generals of Eastern Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers in the vanguard were even more amnesty, and quickly retreated.
"Brother Jia is sympathetic to the soldiers and has the style of a famous general, but His Majesty's side ......"
"Isn't it better to suggest to Your Majesty that there are still two hours left and right before the sky dawns, and then attack the mountain after dawn?"
……
With a sigh of relief, he looked back at the city tower, and the generals were worried again. The military order is like a mountain, the face of the Great Wu Emperor is bigger than the mountain, he gave the order to attack the mountain, and it is strange that those who do not obey can have a good one.
The risk of persuasion is also very large, if you can pick up Jia Hua, a celebrity who has risen suddenly, everyone can follow the muffled voice and make a fortune.
"It's not a way to be so hard, you have to change the way." Jia Hua is not a fool, and of course he will not take the bait. As a staunch supporter of the old system, he was well aware of the relationship between the inferior and the superior.
Words follow the law, what the superior says is the truth, and violates the order? Even if you do grasp the truth, it is a foolish move.
If you disobey your superiors, everything will come to naught, and there will be no hope of resurrection in your life, which has been verified by many pioneers throughout the ages.
Of course, it is also not advisable to rigidly carry out orders and drive soldiers to attack the mountains, and if you incur too heavy losses to achieve your goals, Your Majesty will not remember your own hard work, he will only buckle a hat of incompetence!
"There are a lot of sharpshooters on the mountain, and if they attack from the front, they will only be used as targets, and if they don't look carefully at night, they will definitely not be able to rush up. Originally, it was also a way to shoot at each other, but it seems that there may be some arrangement on the mountain, and our archers can't help them, but after all, their number is not much, and we still have a chance. ”
"Where did the plan come from?"
"Hearing the sound of the bow, the arrows are not missing, how many such marksmen have you seen?" Jia Hua asked rhetorically.
"Uh...... "To be honest, the archers, everyone has seen a lot, but the skill of firing the bow can be said to be special for night combat, and I haven't heard of anyone who has practiced it.
Jia Hua said: "The Tang Army is good at night attacks, and it is not surprising that they have attainments in night battles, but this kind of archer who is proficient in night battles is not something that can be trained casually. First of all, they are very good at archery, and then they can practice night battles specifically, what do you think? ”
"I see, I understand what Brother Jia meant." The generals suddenly realized that the number of sharpshooters on the mountain was not large, and the other archers were all numbered and strong, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Jia Hua nodded, and explained the plan and discernment: "First of all, we must divide the troops, set up no suspicious troops, and attack from all sides...... In addition, it is not advisable to use the tactics of the right people to make a single blow, and our army should ......"
………………
"So you're scared? Too bad, right? Brother Miaocai, do you want to take the next step now? After the Eastern Wu army retreated, Hao Zhao began to get bored. He himself had not practiced the skills of night fighting, and the enemy troops near the mountain did not dare to light fire, and he could not see anything, so it was naturally boring.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's adjusting the deployment......" Xiahou Yuan listened to the mountain with his ears, and replied to Hao Zhao softly, "The enemy general has replaced the armored soldiers, and the ones who have replaced them are all lightly armed, so that the footsteps are very light, as long as they don't speak, most of the brothers on our side will not be able to find the target." ”
"Huh?" Hao Zhao also learned from Xiahou Yuan's appearance, and listened attentively, but he only heard a rustling sound, and he couldn't tell whether it was the wind and grass or someone walking.
The senses of archery masters are generally relatively keen, Hao Zhao's martial arts are good, his resourcefulness is also high, and he naturally understands archery, but he has not done too much hard work, and his attainments are just ordinary, where can he compare with a top master like Xiahou Yuan?
"Well, it's really not simple, this time it's just three sides, and it's not in a hurry, but step by step, walk for a while, stop for a while, the light soldiers in front of you open the way, don't even take weapons, the weight is reduced to a minimum, and the follow-up troops are the real attackers, well, presumably the light soldiers who opened the way also tied ropes to guide the follow-up troops......" Xiahou Yuan listened while analyzing the enemy situation, and on the other hand, he also used the light of the stars and the moon to gesture to the heralds beside him.
"The method is not bad, this person is a little quick, and some generals." Hao Zhao nodded and made a comment.
After Xiahou Yuan finished passing the order, he asked, "However, Brother Miaocai should have a way to deal with it, right?" ”
"That's nature." Xiahou Yuan smiled slightly and said, "In terms of night battles, Your Majesty has taught you a lot of opportunities, and tonight is just a small test. Bo Dao, and watch a certain enemy! ”
………………
Lu Xun came to the front again and asked Jia Hua, "How is the battle?" ”
Looking at the vague shadow of Fuchun Mountain, Jia Hua suppressed his excitement and reported in a low voice to Lu Xun, who came to inquire about the battle situation: "Governor, please return to Your Majesty, you have advanced to the middle of the mountain, and you can rush immediately...... Hey? ”
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Jia Hua noticed that the mountain was on fire. At first glance, I thought it was an illusion, rubbed my eyes, and when I looked at it again, I saw the firelight on the mountain flickering, divided into dozens of wisps, and suddenly rose, drawing a beautiful curve, like a meteor, falling down to the middle of the mountain.
"Torches?" The generals were shocked.
"What do the Tang people want to do? Fire attack? Now that the grass and trees are verdant, where can we light a fire? The torch will be extinguished when it hits the ground. ”
"It's a pity, if I had known, I should have sent some archers up and shot a few of them while the enemy was throwing torches."
……
As everyone spoke, Jia Hua's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted, "No, something is wrong!" It's not a fire attack, they're going to use this thing for lighting! ”
No one questioned it, because it was too late, and after the fire fell to the ground, there was no sign of extinguishing it at all, only the light and flame jumped and rolled, shining a large shadow out of the darkness.
Without waiting for the Eastern Wu army to make corresponding countermeasures, the archers on the mountain had already launched an offensive again, with the firelight as the center, the arrow rain hissed, and accurately pounced on those figures who were illuminated. Screams, screams, shouts of killing...... Ringing almost at the same time.
"Quick, put out that fire!"
"Ahh I've been shot, help! ”
"Leave the fire alone, rush on. Fight with them...... Yes! ”
……
The Eastern Wu soldiers had all the plans, but they did not achieve any of their goals. The closer you are to the fire, the more you are the target of the rain of arrows.
And the fire didn't know what was going on, after it landed, not only did it not go out, but it also bounced to the ground and flew around, like an oversized firefly.
It's hard to get close, it's still dangerous to get close, and it's easy to put out a fire?
Those who are looking forward to rescue after being hit by an arrow can only be disappointed, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, where is there room to help others?
As for those who try to fight for their lives, they are often shot by arrows before they finish a sentence, whether in the light of fire or in the dark.
The long-range strikes of the Tang army are very accurate and dense, far beyond the imagination of the generals of Eastern Wu. Officers who were born in command and fierce soldiers who shouted for fierce battles were all targets of precision strikes. Being shot down before he finished a sentence not only failed to boost morale and restore order, but made the chaos spread more quickly.
The vanguard of the attack struggled in the light of the fire, wailing incessantly, at first a mixture of sounds, and as time went on, only a muffled moan* remained.
Those who were lucky enough escaped all. The remaining wounded soldiers are probably not far from death. So, there's nothing to scrupulously about.
Down the mountain, there was silence.
The generals of Eastern Wu were stunned, and the soldiers were more sober, but no one was enthusiastic about going up the mountain for reinforcements, and no one was willing to remind others.
The enemy on the mountain is terrible, and those who go up are not attacking, but being slaughtered!
The generals have been emphasizing that the number of enemy troops is small and the number of sharpshooters is even smaller, which is used to boost morale. The soldiers were skeptical at first, but now no one believes them at all.
You must know that just now, the enemy army opened bows on three sides, and killed the first few soldiers and horses, leaving no piece of armor! If you don't make a sound, you may be able to escape with your life.
But all the officers who raised their voices to give orders, without exception, were shot through the heart at the beginning of their mouths.
Is this accidental? Of course not, the soldiers all knew that this was a purposeful sniping by the enemy!
The accuracy of the arrows, the efficiency of the unmissable, and the incredible equipment...... The quality of night battles displayed by the Tang army completely frightened the people of Eastern Wu.
