Chapter 64: Rushing to the North Sea (2)
(Collect!) Thank you. )
In the vast night, in the fire-lit camp, a series of screams and screams woke up this quiet night completely.
Soon after the army led by Zongma Hengdao to attack Sun Guan's camp, Han Lie ordered the horn to sound, and Xu Rong, who was originally in charge of answering, immediately led the army into the enemy camp from the west, and dealt a heavy blow to the originally chaotic enemy camp.
The 3,000 sleeping Taishan soldiers were either killed or killed in the fire, and only a small part withdrew from the camp from the east with the Sun Guan brothers.
The shouting of killing from Sun Guan's camp and the fire rising from the camp naturally attracted the attention of Taishan Kou on both wings, and Sun Kang, the commander of the left camp , that is, Sun Guan's eldest brother, immediately beat the drum and gathered troops when he found out that the camp was shocked, and rushed straight to the camp.
In the direction of the right-wing camp, because Yin Li, the main general, went to the main camp Sun Guan to drink and did not return, so that Yin Li's troops, who didn't know what was going on, kept the camp in a noisy manner, and did not send a single soldier until dawn.
Sun Guan, under the escort of his cousin Sun Tao, fought all the way out of the camp soon after, and met Zhao Yun's troops who blocked the left-wing reinforcements.
Sun Guan was frightened, where could he take care of Sun Tao, who fell off the horse, pulled out his horse and galloped away, Zhao Yun in the night, did not know that the person in front of him was Sun Guan, the main general of the siege of Beihai City, and he knew that his duty was to block the enemy reinforcements on the left flank, so he did not chase after him, which allowed Sun Guan to escape.
And Sun Kang, who rushed to help, although he temporarily gathered troops, still quickly gathered 5,000 men and horses, and hurriedly rushed to kill, the mighty army, even in the night, can still feel the edge of the army transit.
Zhao Yun, who was in the lead, raised his eyes to look at the enemy army killed by a torch under the night, like a meandering fire dragon formation, he looked calm, slowly hung the gentian gun on the horse's back, raised his hand to pick up the five-stone strong bow on his body, and at the same time pulled out three feather arrows from his back, looking back left and right and shouting: "The whole army listens to my orders, prepare to fire a salvo!" ”
"Whoa!" The eight hundred sergeants lined up in two rows raised their heads and stood in line on a protruding mountain bag, and then under Zhao Yun's order, everyone put the weapons in their hands upside down on the ground in front of them, and instead picked up the longbow on their bodies.
Among them, the one hundred sergeants who were guarding Zhao Yun were all armed with strong crossbows, and Han Lie naturally did not have strong crossbows in his hands, which was not from Gaomi, the guard general Zong Ping sent three hundred strong crossbows to Han Lie, and in this attack, Han Lie gave Zhao Yun and Xu Huang one hundred each, and Xu Rongbu also allocated one hundred.
Although the crossbow is not as accurate as the bow, when ambushing and defending the city, the lethality of the crossbow is not comparable to the bow and arrow, it can quickly cover the enemy's formation in all directions, forming a dense rain of arrows to kill the enemy.
However, the production process of the strong crossbow is cumbersome, the cost is expensive, the average army is impossible to equip, and its loss is also actively huge, if you really form a strong crossbow army of 10,000 people, the military cost is five times or even ten times higher than that of the ordinary infantry group.
"Shoot!" When Sun Kangbu was already fifty paces away in the night, Zhao Yun shouted, the taut bowstring in his hand made a bang, and three feather arrows flew out, carrying a fierce momentum, through the night, and instantly penetrated an enemy soldier wearing chain mail.
The enemy lieutenant on horseback stiffened, and then fell off his horse. The other two feathered arrows pierced through the horse's back and nailed them to a foot soldier behind, and the huge impact instantly penetrated the enemy soldier who was only wearing cloth armor, and the castration was unabated and nailed to the thigh of an enemy soldier behind.
"Ahh My leg ......" the sergeant who was hit by the arrow screamed miserably, hugged his thigh and let out a terrible cry.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! At this time, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the enemy soldiers in the front row could not dodge, and they fell to the ground one after another.
"There is an ambush, retreat, retreat!" The generals in front of the army could only hear the screams and arrows breaking through the air from time to time, and they had to order a retreat to avoid the rain of arrows covering the air.
Sun Kang, who was in the middle army, saw the commotion in front of him, and immediately drove his horse and rushed up, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"General, the enemy has an ambush, the rain of arrows is dense, and as soon as it comes into contact, there are at least hundreds of brothers killed and wounded." A military officer replied in embarrassment.
"Bastard, don't retreat, immediately let the sword and shield soldiers go up, the archers cover, and rush over for me." Sun Kang didn't know that his younger brother Sun Guan had broken through, and in order to save his brother, he was ready to play with his life.
"Whoa!" The military commander of the front army immediately turned his horse and left.
Taishan Kou is not an ordinary rogue, the combat effectiveness of this army is not weaker than the strength of any of the princes, and even more powerful when it is launched, at this moment Sun Kang played with his life, and the morale of his soldiers suddenly rose sharply, and soon they organized a formation and rushed up again.
This time, due to the cover of the shield soldiers and the counterattack of the archers, Zhao Yun, who was ambushed on the mountain, not only did not get a bargain, but more than a dozen soldiers were shot and killed by the enemy's archers.
"Damn." Zhao Yun scolded secretly, looked back at the fire of the camp, judging from the situation in front of him, Han Lie had obviously succeeded, but whether he could hold on to the results undoubtedly depended on how long they could block the reinforcements, if he couldn't stop this support army, then this night attack was likely to give up halfway, knowing that he had a heavy responsibility, he gritted his teeth, and after shooting an arrow again, he immediately raised the gentian gun on horseback and shouted: "Soldiers of the Red Flame Army, what is your slogan?" ”
"Loyal to the Han, loyal to the people, red flames, never die!" The 800 sergeants burst out into a roar, dropped their bows and arrows in their hands, grabbed the swords and guns in front of them, and launched a counterattack against the enemy troops who rushed up.
"Red Flame Direction, Never Die!" Zhao Yun, who took the lead, stabbed out the gentian spear in his hand like a comet under the night sky, conjuring up a series of strange afterimages, and the more than ten enemy soldiers holding shields in front of him were either shielded or pierced by the gentian spear.
Hundred birds and phoenix marksmanship, is Zhao Yun when he was a child, in the Taihang Mountains in Germany met a crane-haired old man with a childish face, Zhao Yun still remembers, the old man once said, if there is a **** can be a hundred birds towards the phoenix gun practice, the world is big, he can let him vertically and horizontally.
Compared with the bloody battle on Zhao Yun's side, Xu Huang's department on the right flank did not see an enemy, seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Xu Huang saw that the enemy on the right flank still did not move, so he immediately waved his army to the right flank to help.
The reason why he did not return to the main camp to support was because Xu Huang had already heard the sound of the horn from the battlefield, and it was estimated that Han Lie and they must have succeeded, and in such a situation, it was the best choice to respond to the rescue of Zhao Yun on the left flank.
Similarly, Kong Rong, who was above the head of Beihai City, had already received the news of the chaos of the thief army outside the city, although he would lead the civil and military officials of the whole city to stand at the head of the city, but because he could not grasp the specific situation, he was worried that it would be a fraud, so he missed this opportunity to join forces in the city in vain, so that Sun Guan was able to gather the rout and withdraw from Beihai City safely.
At dawn, the three battalions of Han Lie, Dian Wei, and Xu Rong had completely annihilated the 3,000 men and horses of Sun Guan's department, and at this time, Zhao Yun, who was blocked by the left flank, also controlled the position for a time due to the support of Xu Huang.
Han Lie, who received the battle report, immediately asked Xu Rong to lead his troops to clean up the battlefield, leaving Wang Ling Xiahou Lan to assist Xu Rong, and he and Dian Wei led the men and horses of the headquarters and galloped to the left flank.
The battle on the left flank will also enter the white heat, and on the mound, Sun Kang's men and horses, who are not afraid of death, and Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's men and horses, launched a rush to kill again and again.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's leading soldiers and brave and invincible combat effectiveness, as well as the narrowness of the terrain of the mound, which blocked the formation of Sun Kang's army, the left flank would have been lost at this moment.
And when Han Liedianwei led the army to arrive, Sun Guan, who had safely returned to the camp, also sent people to inform Sun Kang, and Sun Kang, who had been safely withdrawn by Sun Guan, saw that the enemy army had come to reinforcements again, and he had no intention of fighting again.
"Damn, these turtle grandsons, Lao Tzu just came and ran away!?" When Dian Wei reached the front of the battle, he found that the enemy soldiers had retreated down the hill like a tide, and even if they were to chase them, they would at most eat a piece of dust.
"Don't chase after the poor, gather up the soldiers and horses, clean up the battlefield, and prepare to enter the city." Han Lie stopped the pursuing men and horses, drove the horse to Zhao Yun's side, and said with concern: "Zilong, how are the injuries?" ”
"No problem." Zhao Yun, who was dressed in a silver helmet and white robe, the armor and brocade robe on his body had already been dyed red, and in the face of Han Lie's inquiry, he hurriedly held his gun and saluted.
"Eight hundred battles and five thousand, Zilong's power today is enough to make thieves chill." Han Lie praised and praised Xu Huang and said: "Gongming can make a decision on the spot and judge the situation on the battlefield, this wisdom and courage are not inferior to Yafu!" ”
"Zi Yangmiao praised." Zhao Yun and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Lord, strategizing and anticipating the enemy's opportunity is the foundation of victory." ”
"Haha......" Han Lie heard them call his lord, even though he was firm-minded, under the eyes of the two of them, the three of them couldn't help laughing, today's victory in the first battle undoubtedly officially established Han Lie's position as the core leader of this army.
