Chapter 238: Heavy Snow 2

In the big tent of the front camp of the Northern Navy, more than a dozen thousand people will gather together. The goose feather snow fell from morning to noon, and it gradually became a little smaller, but it still did not mean to stop, and what made the generals arrive was that the scouts and some cavalry patrolling the sentry they sent were all attacked and killed by the Huolin Army, and what was even more worrying was that the locations of the attack were all around the North Navy camp.

"All handsome! The camp was surrounded by Huolin Army scouts, and the scout rangers of all parts of our army were attacked and killed. And the heavy snow has not stopped, is it time to change and retreat. ”

"Yes, Du Shuai, in the camp, there are already more than 100 tents overwhelmed by the heavy snow, and hundreds of soldiers have been killed and wounded. At this time, our army is trapped here, and it is not possible to attack the city, so it is better to withdraw the army. General Yang also said out loud, speaking of which, he had long wanted to withdraw.

Zamuhe, who had just sat in the commander of the whole army, naturally would not agree, the king of the North Sea had already explained to him, stick to the camp, wait for the heavy snow to stop, launch an attack, and not withdraw lightly.

"What? Are you all scared? We may not be good at siege, but we can't do field warfare either? Our scout warriors are no match for the Han Chinese? Zamuhe roared.

On weekdays, we are naturally not afraid, but the heavy snow has suddenly limited the advantage of our cavalry. Coupled with the difference in weapons, it is natural to lose slightly to the other party. What's more, the Huolin Army is a surprise assassination, in the dark, we are in the light, it is really difficult to guard. Many generals said secretly, but when they saw Zamuhe's disapproving and reprimanded look, they didn't dare to say it.

"Report! Qi Yu is handsome! Thousands of cavalry were killed in the Baixian city, scattered, rushed to the left and right sides of our army's camp, and disappeared. A scout captain rushed into the tent and reported urgently.

"The Fire Lin Army is out of the city? And cavalry? Suddenly, the generals in the big tent were talking.

"How many?" After Zamu was stunned, he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the capital, there are about five or six thousand people, in the heavy snow, the subordinates can't count the exact number, the enemy army is rushing towards the sides of our army, and the subordinates have asked the scouts to investigate." The Scout Captain said.

Zamuhe sneered: "Out of the city? Originally, our army had no choice but to defend the city, but now that we are out of the city, will we still be afraid? All units strictly guarded the camp and sent scouts to investigate the enemy's situation. Whoever sends down the enemy, they will slay together. ”

Because the heavy snow exceeded the expectations of ordinary people, it would have a strong psychological pressure on the Northern Navy, and in order to prevent the Northern Navy from withdrawing rapidly, Zhao Xun still decided to take the lead. Four cavalry battalions, with a total of 7,000 cavalry troops, were sent to run around the Northern Navy camp and began the siege of the Northern Navy. What's more, Zhao Xun has learned that the King of Beihai has slipped away with his own personal guards. Although he did not leave the king of Beihai in time, he was able to leave 30,000 soldiers of the Beihai tribes, 70,000 or 80,000 livestock, and tens of thousands of war horses, and Zhao Xun was also very satisfied. Seven thousand cavalry, four thousand were soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and three thousand were knights temporarily selected from among the foot soldiers and the common people. At the same time, Zhao Xun also prepared the former government army for battle. For most of the month, the sergeants and soldiers of the former government have been changed again and again, and the scale is finally guaranteed to be among the 5,000, and it also has the appearance of a regular army.

Zhao Xun also went out with the cavalry this time, and Baixian City was handed over to the heavy armor battalion and the three thousand heavy battalions and the young Zhuang to be responsible, thinking about it, there would be no accidents.

Zhao Xun was wearing a thick cotton coat, and as for the armor, it had been put aside when the heavy snow fell. The cavalry of the Fire Lin Army beside him was hurrying towards the east. Snowflakes fluttered all over the sky, falling on the warriors' bodies, and many of the Huolin soldiers slowly turned into snow-white snowmen.

The baggage battalion sent a large number of cotton clothes from the rear, and every Huolin sergeant could wear cotton clothes to keep out the cold. But there is a disadvantage of cotton clothing, that is, after wearing it, the armor cannot be put on the outside, and the cotton clothing and armor can only choose one of the two. Since you have chosen a cotton coat, you must temporarily remove the cold armor.

Looking at the vague camp at the limit of his field of vision, Zhao Xun's heart was agitated, these tens of thousands of Northern Navy were about to be wiped out by himself. Accompanying Zhao Xun were the Zhongzi Battalion and his own personal guard battalion, totaling more than 2,500 cavalry, and the target was the rear of the Northern Navy, which took on the task of intercepting the retreat of the Northern Navy.

"Lin Luo, go and harass the rear camp of the Northern Navy, it is best to pull a Northern Navy out and gradually reduce the strength of the Northern Navy."

After Lin Luo answered, he led more than 400 horsemen to run towards the camp of the Northern Navy, and when he encountered the scouts of the Northern Navy along the way, he killed them with sharp arrows in his hands.

"Okay, let's also prepare, let the Northern Navy chasing Lin Luo enjoy the feast of the apocalypse." Zhao Xun smiled coldly and rode forward.

After the camp of the Northern Navy, at this moment are stationed five tribes mainly in Handli. Since the rear battalion was located at the rear of the battlefield, not the front line of the battle with the enemy, the guards were not strict and the defensive measures were not sound. Outside a wooden camp wall, there are no arrow towers, horse-repellent horses, etc.

When Lin Luo's 400 cavalry reached the rear camp more than 100 meters, the soldiers guarding the rear camp found out that it was the enemy who had killed them, and hurriedly blew the horn, and suddenly, the entire rear camp was in chaos. The snow was falling, and no one except the sentry guards wanted to suffer from the cold outside, so most of them hid in the big tents and made fires to keep warm.

"Throw guns! Get ready! Give these bastards a little color! Lin Luo shouted loudly.

"Instigation ......"

"Instigation ......"

"Instigation ......"

When the hundreds of Beihai soldiers in the rear camp were shocked, they had not yet reacted, and the sharp screams pierced the sky, and rows of sharp javelins had been thrown from the hands of the Yan cavalry on the opposite side, drawing a cold and strange arc in the air, dragging the death scream, and the cold fell on the heads of the soldiers of the Beihai tribes.

"Throw guns! It's actually a gun! ”

Five hundred people grew up and were amazed that these damn Fire Lin Army could actually throw throwing spears on horseback! When a horse throws a spear at a gallop, even a sturdy wooden shield can't stop it from piercing, let alone a soldier who lacks shield protection and is not armoured? The commander of 500 people had personally seen the Huolin army defending the city in Baixian County use throwing spears to defeat the besieging troops. Although he had never seen a cavalry using spears, he was the first to realize the terrifying power of this tactic.

Standing on the camp wall, the soldiers of the Beihai tribes watched in horror as a spear fell from the sky, the sharp three-edged tip of the spear quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, and before he could come back to his senses, the spear had pierced into his left eye, penetrating his entire head, and the remnants of the body were brought down and nailed to the ground.

Another soldier, seeing that the situation was not good, wanted to hide behind the wooden flagpole, but he forgot that it was not an arrow, but a spear! A sharp spear struck through the air with the cold of death, and with a crisp sound of flesh and bone, it pierced first through the flagpole and then through his chest with ease.

Slaughter!

Slaughter through and through!

Lacking the protection of wooden shields, and because of the cold and not wearing armor, the non-commissioned soldier bow became the best target for the cavalry of the 400 Zhongzi Battalion to practice throwing guns, and the cavalry of the 400 Zhongzi Battalion galloped back and forth around the camp wall, throwing repeatedly, until there was no one standing on the camp wall, Lin Luo ordered to stop.

The reinforcements from the Beihai tribes who arrived found that none of the more than 300 soldiers on duty were standing, and as far as the eye could see, the corpses were all over the field, wailing, and covered with throwing spears stuck in the body or stuck in the ground......

"Hahaha...... The Northern Navy is nothing more than that! Brethren, we withdraw! After Lin Luo laughed wildly, he slowly retreated, seemingly not taking the thousands of Northern Navy behind him in his eyes at all.

"It's so damning! It's so arrogant! Which of you is going to solve them for me! The master of the Handi tribe said angrily.

"I'm coming! I don't believe it, my thousand-strong team can't deal with this mere 400 Huolin army. ”

"Good! Since Zhong Yanbu is willing to hunt down and kill, when you return, I should personally ask Lord Dushuai for credit for you. The commander of the Handi Department said with a smile.

A moment later, the back camp gate opened, and nearly a thousand knights rushed out. Obviously, since the heavy snow fell to a depth of half a foot, the cavalry of the Northern Navy could not play a big advantage. Bows and arrows, in particular, are easily damaged in heavy snow. The current Northern Navy, basically, no one is drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and most of them use scimitars.

"Give me chase! Kill these 400 Huolin troops, kill one person, and reward a sheep! The commander of the Zhong Yan Department raised his arms and shouted, and a thousand Beihai soldiers chased in the direction of Lin Luo.

"My lord, the Northern Navy is chasing after you, there are a thousand people!"

Lin Luo turned his head to look, and among the snowflakes, there were faintly more than a thousand cavalry chasing after him. I was overjoyed in my heart and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good to chase!" Brothers, lead them to the adults, get rid of them all, and let none of them escape. ”

In this way, Lin Luo ran in front with four hundred people, and the one thousand Northern Navy was chasing closely behind, unhurried, and the distance was always not much different.

In addition to Lixu on the north side of Lin Luo, Zhao Xun also received news from Lin Luo. If it was a sunny day and there had never been snow, Zhao Xun would never dare to set up an ambush so closely. But in this kind of snowy weather, coupled with the howling north wind, it is impossible to see clearly from a hundred meters away.

"It's coming! Get ready! Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Zhao Xun hurriedly ordered.

Lin Luo galloped over with four hundred cavalry, and the commander of the Zhong Yan Department followed closely with a thousand cavalry. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the cavalry galloping in front fell to the ground in an instant, and the knight was thrown several meters away by the tumbling and fallen war horse, and the cavalry behind could not stay and fell immediately behind. Suddenly, the war horses neighed and wailed, and more than 100 cavalry fell off their horses.

"Stop! Stop! The head of the Zhong Yan Department shouted sharply. He saw that the main culprit who had caused his forward cavalry to fall to the ground was the stumbling ropes. In an instant, he understood that he had been ambushed.

......At the same time, thousands of archers emerged from the snow on both sides of the chaotic cavalry of the Zhongyan Division, constantly firing arrows at their own side.

"Rush me! Fast! Rush over and scatter their archers! The head of the Zhong Yan tribe shouted bitterly.

However, no matter how much the cavalry charged, they could not rush to the close reach of the archers. But seeing that one arrow after another continued to shoot out, the advancing Zhong Yan cavalry kept falling off their horses and were shot to death in the snow, and the white snow had already been dyed into a pool of blood red.

As the snow on the ground was getting thicker, Yan zhòng hindered the cavalry's attack, which, combined with the previous panic, made it take longer for them to charge. In such a cold battlefield, the increase in time consumption means a lot of lives.

Not only on both sides, but also in the rear, there were also hundreds of archers intercepting, and the two thousand Huolin troops set up ambush the opponent's one thousand enemy troops, and the results were naturally self-evident. Zhao Xun also held a big bow, and the arrows he shot were very accurate, and the soldiers of Zhong Yanbu who were close to him couldn't escape his arrows. Each arrow flew past, and a small splash of blood flew up, and the owner of the splashed blood fell to the ground.

In order to save the horses, the Huolin Army deliberately fired arrows at the cavalry. In the end, the Chung Yan soldiers still surrendered, and in the face of continuous death, they still did not have the determination to try it themselves, and after the death of the main general, the remaining Chung Yan soldiers finally surrendered. Of the 1,000 cavalry, more than 430 men surrendered in the end, and the rest were killed. More than 700 horses were also captured, more than 100 skins were crippled, and nearly 200 horses died.

"Lin Luo, take these captives and war horses back to the city, be careful on the way! If they make trouble, kill them on the spot! By the way, bring some arrows, and a bowstring! Zhao Xun pointed to the captives who had their hands tied and said coldly.

"Don't worry, sir! The subordinates are determined to complete the task. Lin Luo said.
