Chapter 262: Encounter (2)

After Achille's Liao army set up a barracks outside Yangcun Village, Achiller immediately ordered to attack Yangcun Village at night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Achiller usually follows Wan Yan Shengcong and leads the troops to fight after being Yan Shengcong's deputy, and has no experience in leading troops independently. This time he led an army independently, and it was an army of 30,000 people, which was the first time for Achille.

The first time he led the troops independently, Achiller wanted to perform well in front of Wanyan Shengcong and show his ability to lead troops.

"It is inconvenient to fight at night, and our Great Liao Army has a precedent of night attacks, but the night attacks of our Great Liao Army are all based on the fact that the enemy army is unknowing." On this trip, Achille's deputy, Jia Munan, persuaded Achille, "Now that the enemy army has discovered our traces, the enemy troops in Yangcun Village must have been prepared for us for a long time, and at this time, the subordinates feel that it is not safe to attack the city." It is better to postpone the siege and wait until dawn before the siege. The enemy army has been surrounded by our regiments, and there are no reinforcements on the periphery, so it is difficult for the enemy to fly! I don't care about waiting for this extra night. ”

Jia Mu Nan was worried that the defenders in Yangcun Village had already taken precautions against them, and at this time, they would not be able to win the siege of the city, and stealing chickens would not lead to rice.

Achiller didn't think so: "Since the enemy army has discovered the traces of our army, and now it is on guard against our army, it will naturally be on guard against our army in the future, and sooner or later it will attack the city, so it is better to fight quickly as soon as possible." ”

On this expedition, Achiller was the commander, and although Gamunan had the identity of the Manshu royal family, he was only assisting Achiller as the deputy commander of the army. The decisive power of the army remained in the hands of Achiller.

Achille insisted on attacking the city, and Gamunan had no choice but to let Achille.

After Achille issued the siege order, the Liao army mobilized to attack the city despite exhaustion. The Liao army also marched for several days, and it is impossible to say that it is not tired. However, the Liao army had a strong will to fight and high morale. After Achille's siege order was issued, the Liao army quickly assembled and prepared to attack the city.

"Gamunan, you have experience in night battles." Achille asks Gamunan for advice, and Gamunan is a veteran of the Manshu royal family, not a child of a clan who does not know how to learn. Although Gamunan was only responsible for assisting Achille with the army this time, and the two disagreed, it was always not wrong to ask Gamunan for advice before the war.

Gamunan has rich experience in wars, and has participated in many battles since the Manshu people started their wars, not only has a history of fighting with the Zhao army, but also has experience in fighting with the army of the Menggu tribe when the Manshu and Menggu tribes were fighting for the hegemony of the nomadic tribes outside the Saiwai.

Gamunan has the status of a child of the clan, and his military talents are outstanding, and the reason why he can only be the deputy marshal of the army to assist Achiller is very simple. Gamnan made a wrong choice between the transposition of the two Great Khans.

Wanyan Shengcong still has a grudge against Gamunan, although Gamunan has outstanding military talents, but Wanyan Shengcong does not dare to reuse Gamunan.

As for the night fight, Gamunan has indeed experienced it many times. The two most famous night battles were the night attack on Sahan City, and the other was the battle of burning the camp of the allied army of the Meng Gu tribe. These two night battles have one thing in common, that is, the Liao army adopted the tactics of fire attack.

"In a night battle, it is better to attack with fire." Gamunan's suggestion was simple, just two concise words: "Fire attack!" ”。

"Fire attack?" Achiller's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Great idea! ”

The Liao army raised fire in front of the array, and in front of the siege army of the Liao army, the brilliant fire light was as bright as day in front of the Liao army array.

"The Liao army is going to attack the city?" Zhang Yuyang frowned.

He Tengxiao is no stranger to the military formation of the Liao army, which is a typical siege army formation of the Liao army.

"This gang of Liao dogs is really fucking anxious." Zhou Shidao, "I can't even endure it for one night." ”

"Not just a siege, but also a fire attack." Through the monoculars, He Tengxiao was able to see what the others in the Qing city could not see with the naked eye, and the archers of the Liao army were oiling their arrows. And the Liao army, who was fiddling with the stone thrower, was also filling something into the stone thrower, and He Tengxiao guessed that there should be flammable ingredients in the things filled by the Liao army.

Zhang Yuyang also picked up a telescope to peek at the dynamics of the Liao army in the distance, and after seeing it, Zhang Yuyang said: "Sure enough." ”

Yang Mu didn't have much fear of the Liao army's fire attack, Yang Mu said: "If the Liao army is attacked, it doesn't matter, these years have not been peaceful, in order to guard against thieves, the Yang clan dug a lot of secret cellars in the village, and all the materials of the Yang clan are hidden in the secret cellars." ”

He Tengxiao waved his hand and shook his head: "That's just the end, since the Liao army wants to attack the city, we will accompany it to the end." Patriarch Yang, pour all the cloth and quilts that can be used in the clan with water, and bring them to the city, the Liao army is about to attack the city, and we don't have much time. ”

This is destined to be a sleepless night, and in the villages of Yang Village, all the men of the Xiaoqi Battalion, Tengbao Battalion, and Yang Nationality were urgently mobilized. Prepare to meet the Liao army.

In the camp of the Liao army, the tight drums of the Liao army's attack sounded, which was a signal for the Liao army to prepare to charge in front of the station. After the sound of the drums, the ears of the people were followed by the poignant horn sound peculiar to the Manshu people.

The main force of this siege was still the Liao army, and the army of the Menggu tribe and the armies of other barbarians were just watching the Liao army attack the city from the sidelines. The Liao army can fight and attack the city with fatigue after a rapid march, while the people of the Menggu tribe and the rest of the barbarian tribes are already exhausted to the extreme, and they can't wait to rest for one more night, how can they have the heart and energy to attack the city with the Liao army.

The leaders of the army of the Menggu tribe and the rest of the barbarian tribes were very annoyed, and they only hated that their army could not be like the Liao army.

After the terrible sound of the horn, the Liao army finally began to launch an offensive against the village of Yangcun.

Under the banner of the Liao army, Achille stood on a simple observation platform temporarily erected to observe the Liao army's siege, and Gamunan stood beside him.

In a surging shout like a tide, the Liao army surged towards the Yangcun village, and the thin Yangcun village seemed to be overwhelmed by this crowd at any time.

The Liao army came in a hurry this time, and the army did not carry heavy stone throwers, and the stone throwers carried were all small and medium-sized stone throwers. Small and medium-sized catapults do not have the same range as heavy ones. The Liao army could only use the trebuchet after advancing to the range of the trebuch.

Manipulating the stone thrower, the Liao soldiers triggered the mechanism of the stone thrower, and the flammable materials and stones on the stone thrower were ejected with fire.

Dozens of large fireballs of blazing fire swept over the heads of the Liao army's formation, all the way to their target: Yangcun Village. (To be continued.) )
