Chapter Forty-Seven: Attack Unprepared
"My lord, all sides have been explored, and apart from here, there are no Huns within a radius of five miles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two Han-style tents contained next to the stream, according to the number of wool felt, the Huns were less than 100. They seemed to be in a hurry, each with two to three horses, and it seemed that they had experienced a bloody battle, and from a distance, they could faintly see blood stains on the horses. ”
"In another hour and a half it will be dawn, ...... we? My lord? ”
Koga seemed excited, and he couldn't help but cinch the hilt of his sword or check the barrel of the arrow tied to the side of the horse as he reported.
Do it, that is to do it, Lin Bin just wants to know a little more about the nearby terrain, if the raid fails, it is better to retreat safely, "Get on the horse!" Check the armor, bow and arrow! ”
After a month or two of fugitive life, they continued to collect armor and weapons from both Han and Hungarian sides, and sometimes they could also capture ownerless war horses, and the armor and weapons they picked up were first supplemented to the rangers, so that almost all of the more than 50 horsemen had a set of protective gear to protect the vital points, and at the same time, because they had been patching together, they could no longer see the camp they belonged to.
'Boom-' Jiahe pulled the bowstring, looked up at Lin Bin, and nodded vigorously.
"No tactics, no planning, no more talking!" Lin Bin drew his scimitar, "Open your eyes wide, pull your bowstrings, control your horses, and hold your scimitars tightly - follow me!" ”
Steed! Grain! These two things are too important for Lin Bin and the others who are in deep trouble, forcing them to face the difficulties, like a fierce beast that is extremely hungry, as long as there is prey, they must try to hunt, pounce on it and bite it to death, or escape with injuries! Without Han Shuo's appearance, they must also attack the camp of the alien race in order to seize the capital to survive, and Han Shuo's appearance is just to advance what should have been done.
The horses' hooves trampled on the grass, touched the earth, made a 'clang' sound, and they lined up in a straight line and slowly descended the slope. Looking down, the Huns resting around the bonfire slept very sweetly, the bonfire was blown by the wind and swayed, and the light swayed with it, illuminating the basin that was about to become a killing arena.
Lin Bin's hand holding the scimitar was raised high, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and the war horse under the seat began to march slowly, and behind him were fifty-four knights who were also waiting to drink the blood of the enemy. Lin Bin understood a truth, under the condition of not being familiar with the terrain, it was impossible to make any plans, and the night attack relied on surprise; Attack them unprepared, pounce on them with the strongest momentum, and slaughter the enemies who don't react to your heart's content!
Lin Bin saw the Huns who were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, got up and tried to see who was coming, and ordered his subordinates to speed up their horses.
"The eldest prince is back?" Eight hundred paces away, the voice was a little muffled, and it was in Xiongnu language. The night is too deep, and there is always a darkest time before dawn, and unless the person has night vision, it is impossible to see who the person is.
A black line kept approaching the Hun station, and the Huns who were woken up by the shouts also got up, and these Huns were arranging their leather armor and grabbing the weapons that were resting aside and holding them in their hands.
"Who's up ahead?"
Lin Bin couldn't understand what the Huns were saying, so what if he understood, did he answer out loud?
Seeing the first Hun soldier to shout an arrow warning, the wolf's tooth arrow only flew a distance of about 150 steps before it was hindered by the wind and fell to the ground. Fifty or so horsemen continued silently, they needed a buffer distance, and when they approached five hundred paces, they would naturally be ordered to speed up their horses, and the one who ordered them was the leader who would always fight near the nearest front line, using his burly body as the leader of the banner.
Lin Bin saw that the Huns seemed to feel that something was wrong, and some of them were already about to rush into the wool felt to greet their companions, he kicked the belly of the horse, and the scimitar raised high by the "Han Army...... slashed downward: "Assault!! ”
The art of war is cloudy: take the lead and seize people, take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, and make peace; Win by wonder!
"Han Army - Assault !!"
The roar is like a key, it opens a door, a door to the battlefield of flesh!
The war horses were galloping, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, the darkness before dawn was no longer quiet, and the roars of more than fifty men were still echoing in the night sky.
"Han Army! It's the Janissaries of the Han people, the eldest prince was fooled, they didn't escape, they turned back and killed back! ”
The Huns kept coming out of the wool felt; The Huns near the stables climbed on the war horses, but when they gathered more than 20 horsemen to charge, they touched back and did not touch anything, and the Huns were accustomed to untie the bows and arrows and arrow barrels hanging on the war horses before resting.
"Ready!" It was Koga's voice, he was holding a crossbow machine in his hand, and the five horsemen who followed him also straightened the crossbow machine, two hundred and fifty paces away: "Shoot!! ”
With the sound of the bowstring, the arrow broke through the air, whistling, and suddenly came, and the three-edged arrow broke through the leather armor of the Huns, drilled into the chest of the Huns, and splashed blood, causing the first howl of the night.
"Ready!"
This time it was Lin Bin, with his roar, the Huns began to counterattack, and the Huns continued to shoot arrows with their bows, scattered arrows flew in, the inertia had been lost, and they bounced off the armor of the rangers weakly. Knowing how to choose the direction of attack will reduce casualties, where is the best direction to charge? It's the wind, struck with the wind!
One hundred and fifty steps, the knights under Lin Bin began to be hit by arrows, he leaned forward with his upper body, leaned against the horse's neck, and roared: "Kill!! ”
A soldier fell off his horse, and before he had time to let out a muffled snort, the tall war horse that suddenly appeared in front of him was about to gallop, he subconsciously rolled his body to avoid, and then he heard a heavy blow that seemed to hit the deepest part of his heart, and time seemed to slow down, and he could see the huge horse's hooves stepping on the grass not far from him, and the splashed dirt was rushing towards him. He looked up in a trance, and saw Pao Ze turn around, through the faint light, he saw that the expression on Pao Ze's face was very stunned, and he didn't let him think about it much, and the expression of Pao Ze who turned his head suddenly became sluggish, and time returned to normal speed, and Pao Ze fell off his horse and made a 'boom' sound.
The soldier looked ahead in a daze, and his brothers had already entered the camp of the Huns, divided into a group of ten horsemen and fought hard; Without waiting for his mind to calm down, he saw that his leader was alone, and even the people and horses crashed into the Hun archers who were about to shoot with bows, and the people turned on their horses, and the burly body of the leader got up from the pile, roaring and raising his knife to slaughter the Huns who only held bows and arrows and had no melee weapons.
"It's ......, it's good, it's amazing!"
……
Lin Bin seems to have heard someone say that if you want to grasp the advantage on the battlefield, you need to slaughter the enemy's soldiers with long-range attack ability as much as possible, and carry out a tragic slaughter of the enemy who has no ability to resist in order to frighten other enemies and demoralize them. He had forgotten if he had only heard it when he came to the Han Dynasty or if he had heard it before, but it didn't matter, he just had to swing his sword again and again, slashing at the archers who wanted to take the road and flee.
Lin Bin's foundation is too thin, after experiencing the last bloody battle and not finding out how Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu withdrew from the battlefield, he is unwilling to fight with others anymore, and those who are not familiar with coordinated combat will only become a burden to others, so he always tries his best to separate his distance from Pao Ze every time, and uses the advantages of his size and fighting skills to fight, which seems crazy, but it is the only way not to become a burden.
Lin Bin climbed back on the horse, only to see the robes roaring back and forth in the Hun camp to form a formation, this is their usual practice of warfare, at this time there is no saddle and stirrups, can only borrow the speed of the war horse to swing the knife to kill the enemy, as long as the war horse stops, the legs are not focused, a little pounce will definitely be pulled off the horse.
The chaotic battlefield was full of desperate soldiers, Lin Bin saw the Hun cavalry gathering not far away, and knew that he could no longer disperse the battle, so he immediately shouted to the robes to move closer to him.
There is no shortcut on the frontal battlefield, only flesh and blood; With a strong will, with the most direct way to defeat the opponent, if there is no drum to kill and scatter the enemy, then he will face a war of attrition, and Lin Bin's capital is too small, he can't afford to fight a war of attrition, the sudden attack has lost its sharpness in the rush into the Hun camp.
In a bloody battle, there were less than thirty soldiers who could still ride on horseback, and in a sense, Lin Bin's surprise attack did not get the desired effect. There were too many Huns......
Lin Bin rode his horse at the front end of the charging formation, staring at more than 30 Hun cavalry who were about to charge in a formation of more than 200 paces, and behind him came a loud shout from Jiahe, "Prepare - hold the bow - pull the string -", the soldiers who were waiting for the military order immediately stretched their bows and shot arrows at the Hun cavalry who rushed over with the roar of Jiahe, and then immediately threw away the bow and arrow in the military order and drew out the scimitar......
"Kill them and you'll win!" Lin Bin yelled fiercely: "Kill !! ”
