Chapter 469: Attack
Eighty miles north of Dingbei City, it is the border of Beiding Wufu and the Murwei people. The border is obvious, there is a small river from west to east, which spreads for hundreds of miles, and goes straight into the territory of the Black Water Indigo.
Today, more than ten miles south of the border, a vast makeshift camp is stationed here.
At this moment, three miles east of the camp, dozens of figures appeared above a small hill with a slight oblique line. They are Zhao Xun and his party.
Zhao Xun and others have been here for more than ten days, and they have seen more than 20,000 troops looting everywhere, plundering some of the Khitan and Tatar people who are grazing here. Around the camp, there are still many Murowei people grazing their cattle.
These herdsmen, some of whom are under the command of the Xiaoguo Army, as well as those of the Liaodong Kingdom and the Heishui Sect, for these ordinary herdsmen, Zhao Xun did not strictly restrict the boundaries of grazing. As long as it is not spying on intelligence and sabotage, even if it is cross-border grazing, Zhao Xun has not delved into it.
After all, nomads are different from Han Chinese, they don't survive a little fixed. They live by water. Wherever there is suitable for grazing, move to the road.
"How? How is the defense of this Nanmuro Weibu battalion? Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Slack!" Zhu said with a smile.
It may be that the Xiaoguo army is ignoring it, and the garrison of the Murwei army, which is more than 30 miles out of bounds, does not have too strict patrols and explorations, so it can be said that their military camp is far from the Xiaoguo army. No, it should be said that it is far inferior to the Khitans and the Tata.
They engaged in primitive farming and animal husbandry, hunted wild beasts with horned bows and arrows, and made zuò clothes from deerskins. Men tied their hair, women tied their hair in forked buns, and spoke the same language as the Khitan. The so-called military camp is actually a gathering of herdsmen from various departments.
Speaking of which, more than 100 years ago, the Wei people also paid tribute to the Great Yan Kingdom, and also learned the fishing and hunting basics and house-building skills of the Han people. Although they are so unbearable, they are very brave, perhaps because they live in a bitter cold land.
"Operation tonight! Interspersed from east to west! Looking at the loose room Wei camp, Zhao Xun also relieved the worry in his heart and said in a deep voice.
This Murwei camp was formed by the confluence of the eighteen small tribes under the southern Murwei tribe, and the various tribes were relatively loose, in order to plunder the livestock of other tribes on the border between Murwei and Khitan to supplement their own needs.
As the sun sets, the moon, which is as thin as a line, slowly rises, and together with the stars in the sky, it brings a faint light to the earth.
Ten miles east of the Murowei camp, more than 15,000 cavalry gathered here.
"Wrap all the horses' hooves in sackcloth! Prepare for the assault! ”
"The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion brought the earth-shaking thunder and set off with the army!"
Zhao Xun looked at the sky, glanced at the soldiers wrapped in winter clothes behind him, shook the cold spear in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This time, the Shenji Battalion is divided into three, following in the ranks of the first flag, the second banner and the first capital soldiers, and divide me into three ways to sweep the Murwei camp. No need to stop, interspersed and interspersed. Taking advantage of the chaos, the first flag was killed from the west and from the north. The second banner was counter-killed from the west to the south, and the governor of Pontus led the army straight to the Chinese army. The three armies gathered at the core of their large battalion. Strive for, the First World War made the people of Murowei dare not underestimate us. ”
Wielding his spear, he shouted, "Let's go!" ”
The army of more than 10,000 people was like three arrows slashing sharply towards the Murwei camp, and the speed gradually increased, getting faster and faster, and it was getting closer and closer to the Murwei camp.
"Huh? What was that? "In the middle of the camp, some of the room guards who were still eating and drinking felt a slight roar,
"Whatever, our roast sheep is going to be ready, eat!" A big man with black hair casually resting on his shoulders hummed.
"No, the sound is getting closer!"
"Not good, there are cavalry approaching! Enemy attack! Another tall man in his thirties with a long scar on his face shouted.
"Boom ......" a loud bang came from the east! Accompanied by the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Out of the center of the Murowei camp, Mohofu of the southern Murowei department, that is, the tribal leader, was pulled up from his sleep by his subordinates.
"What for! It's so late, if there's nothing big about it, you must look good. ”
"Leader, attack the camp, someone has attacked the camp, and it has already entered the camp!"
"Raiding the camp?" Mo Hofu was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that the outside of the tent was full of shouts and tearing sounds, and in an instant, he knew that the camp was indeed under attack.
"Who is it? Who was so bold as to dare to attack the camp? ”
The Southern Chambers Mohefu asked loudly, this time the army plundered, and it gathered more than a dozen small tribes, totaling 20,000 elite soldiers. In this half month, he crossed the border between Murowei and Khitan and entered the sphere of influence of the Xiaoguo army. Cautious at first, but never encountered the Xiaoguo army. According to investigation, the Xiaoguo army has also been stationed in the so-called Dingbei City, and has no intention of going north, and now there are people raiding the camp, how can he not be annoyed.
"I don't know, Chief. The men and horses attacking the camp came in from the east side of the camp. Now the camp is full of enemy horsemen, chief, let's go quickly, it's too late. ”
The guard didn't know how he had come back, but the noisy camp and the fires everywhere had already made him panic. In particular, the occasional roar made him tremble. At this moment, he had already guessed that the person who attacked the camp was the silent Xiaoguo army nine times out of ten. But I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense at will. The thought of the Xiaoguo Army killing hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops in one night made his heart tremble.
The tribal leader jumped to his feet, grabbed the precious sword he had bought from the merchant beside him, and opened the tent. I saw that in the darkness of the night, the entire camp of 20,000 people had been completely chaotic, and there were fires everywhere, and soldiers in disheveled clothes were running for their lives. In the chaos, I only heard someone running and shouting that Thor had come to the world, and Thor's weapon was powerful again.
"Someone, prepare a horse for me!" The tribe roared, and a group of soldiers gathered outside the tent ran up.
The soldiers led the horses, and helped the tribal leader put on the precious leather armor that he didn't know where to come from, and got on the war horse.
In the darkness of the night, there was no distinction between leaders and creeps, and everyone was running around like irrelevant flies. In ancient times, when fighting wars, the most feared thing was to be attacked at night, and if one was not good, the whole army would be scattered. This is also after the ancient army camped, the military law strictly ordered the soldiers to be in their tents, and it was strictly forbidden for the soldiers to walk around, make noise, and fight in the camp, because if one is not good, it will be easy for the soldiers to think that the enemy attacked the camp, and at that time it was the howling camp, or the bombing camp.
Of course, the suppression of the Murowei people is far less strictly prohibited, and they are all small tribes that surround the felt together, commensurate with small camps, more than a dozen small camps, gathered together to form a large camp, and surrounded the leaders of the Nanmurwei tribe in the center.
"Pass the order, let the various departments gather people, and give me a counterattack! Damn, you dare to attack the camp of my Murowei people! The leader of Nanmurwei roared through gritted teeth. He and his own soldiers, all riding war horses, draped all over their bodies, kept shouting to the running soldiers: "Assemble, assemble, assemble, all assemble, give me a counterattack!" ”
But even if they almost shouted in their throats, there were not many soldiers and horses who could really stop and converge on them. Most of the soldiers were still rotten, after all, they were not strictly trained soldiers, they were all subordinate to the chiefs of their respective tribes.
Looking at this chaotic army, the face of the leader of the Southern Chamber Wei was about to drip out. He has seen the armies of other tribes, and he has also seen the armies of the Khitan tribe, all of which are much stronger than him.
"Report ...... Report to the leader, the enemy who attacked was the Xiaoguo Army! It's the Fruit Army! Their thunder-like weapons appeared, and the warriors couldn't resist them! The patriarch of a small tribe said tremblingly.
The 3,000 people of his subordinate were like a mud and sand embankment submerged by a big wave, and they disappeared at once under the opening of several earth-shattering thunderbolts of the Xiaoguo Army.
"Xiaoguo Army? Fruit Army! Damn it! Didn't the sentry say that the Xiaoguo Army stayed indifferent in Dingbei City? Mohofer of the South Chamber of Weibu shouted in a lost voice.
I thought that the Xiaoguo army was indifferent to them, or that the Xiaoguo army was exhausted from the battle between the Khitans. Unexpectedly, this Xiaoguo army simply let them into the trap, and took advantage of their laxity to give them a blow to the head.
"Let the various divisions gather their warriors! What about the Xiaoguo Army? I'm not a Khitan. I think that at the beginning, we also went south to merge the state and the north to graze. Today, we will tell this Xiaoguo army that our Murowei people are not easy to mess with. Nanmuro Weibu Mohofer roared angrily.
I wanted to get some livestock from the Khitan territory to replenish myself, but I didn't expect to be attacked by the Xiaoguo army. He will not be reconciled. The Southern Murwei tribe is located in the southernmost part of the Murwei people, and several other tribes are extremely coveted for their ability to trade with the southern Han merchants, and if they really lose a big loss, their own tribe's territory will inevitably be cut off.
Half a month ago, he commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, what a high-spirited man, went south to the border of the two tribes, plundered the Khitans and the Tatar people, and no one could stop them, and even the Xiaoguo army shrank in the so-called Dingbei City and did not dare to say more. Now a sudden reversal, how can this make him willing.
But he forgot that it was they who wanted to use force against the Great Yan Kingdom, which greatly reduced their strength, and the Khitan rose and occupied a territory of thousands of miles from north to south and six hundred miles from east to west. He only thought of the great achievements of his predecessors, but he did not expect the price paid and the end.
The situation in front of them almost made this ambitious Mo Hofu vomit blood angrily, they didn't know how to fight at all, only ran and roared. Others, nothing is known. They turned a blind eye to the orders and shouts of the tribal leader, and the angry leader and his guards slashed several shouting and running soldiers in a row.
But he forgot that he was not a regular army at all, not to mention that he had not been trained, but the different orders of the various ministries made it impossible for him to command effectively.
