Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle for Grain Protection (1)

Da-da-da-da

In front of the boot barracks, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the grass on the skin swayed, which, if it were in modern times, would have been understood as an earthquake; But in this era of cold weapons, especially when troops are sent out to fight, the soldiers will rationally think that there must be a cavalry rushing here in the distance!

Ling Feng's elite battalion is always vigilant, but Huang Daoyi's front battalion is extremely lax, originally the battalion did not set up fences, reject horses or anything, and now there are very few soldiers standing guard, and there are not many patrols, so if you encounter enemy troops, you will definitely be caught off guard.

This is also to blame Huang Daoyi, with his IQ, where would he have thought that the enemy would bypass the vanguard camp and the middle army camp and attack him directly; He thought that even if Jiang Yiyuan wanted to steal the camp, he would only sneak attack the pioneer camp, because it would not be easy to expose his traces and he would retreat.

On the contrary, if you attack the rear camp, whether you are victorious or defeated, it will be difficult to retreat, because there are 400,000 troops blocking you on the way back, how to retreat.

But Jiang Yiyuan did the opposite, he did not attack the vanguard battalion, nor did he attack the Chinese army, but came towards Huang Daoyi, because he firmly believed that the more dangerous the place, the greater the chance.

The battle is on!

"Kill Huang Daoyi alive!"

"Kill!"

Thundered!

The horses' hooves were rolling, and the iron hooves were flying, as if countless beasts of prey were running towards it; At this moment, the soldiers standing guard were all startled, and when they heard this sound, they all ran towards the camp.

The soldiers looked frightened and shouted.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

They shouted as they ran wildly towards the camp, because there were not many soldiers around them, and the other party was a fine horseman, and if they didn't run, they could only wait for death.

In an instant, Pang Yi's cavalry swept through the entire front camp of the recruits like a rising tide, and wherever the enemy ran out of the tent, they waved the spears in their hands and stabbed them down.

Although this is the camp of 200,000 troops, but there is no defense, and they are all new soldiers, in front of the fierce iron cavalry, they can only be in a weak position, I am afraid that even Huang Daoyi did not expect that he was fortunate to have trained the soldiers for several months, and they were so vulnerable.

After about a cup of tea, Huang Jiyi, who was in the Chinese army, finally got the news, and his reaction was not slow, and he immediately ordered people to go to the left and right battalions to gather soldiers and horses; Because the front battalion was already in disarray and was in the midst of fighting, it was impossible for the soldiers to gather, and only by transferring troops from both flanks could they strike backward.

As for the back camp, Huang Daoyi didn't use it, because it was Ling Feng's camp, and it was the heavy responsibility of guarding the grain and grass, so it couldn't be easily withdrawn.

In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses in the rear battalion, except for Ling Feng's elite battalion and Liu Hai's department, the rest are weak brigades responsible for escorting grain and grass, about 10,000 people, so the actual number of soldiers and horses in the rear battalion is around 30,000.

Front, left, right, and center, each with 40,000 soldiers and horses, all added up to exactly 200,000.

Although Huang Weiyi ordered the left and right battalions to quickly support the front battalion, but after all, the speed was too slow, so in order to quickly and effectively block the thief army, he rushed out of the camp tent and gathered people in the same place of the Chinese army.

Huang Daoyi suddenly shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me and repel the thieves!" ”

"Kill."

He led his soldiers towards the front camp

The war drums were noisy, and the camps were full of fires, and such a big movement had already alarmed Ling Feng, who was in the back camp, as well as Han Ziyu and the others.

Not long after, Lu Wen, Lu Chang, and Han Ziyu all came to the Zhongjun tent, but Ling Feng was worried that the enemy would attack the rear camp at this time, so he asked Lu Wen and Lu Chang to go back and wait for the battle, so they didn't have to attend the meeting.

In addition to the two Lu, Ling Feng's subordinates also had the other three captains, although they were usually inconspicuous, but at this time, it was the time to employ people, so they all gathered in the Chinese military tent and waited for dispatch.

Han Ziyu said: "The general did the right thing, at this time, the enemy is very likely to attack the battalion, we must be more vigilant, don't be careless." ”

"Sir, the enemy is attacking the front camp, but he has not come to the rear camp."

A lieutenant said.

Han Ziyu looked at the captain and said unceremoniously: "So, you can only be a captain in your life, short-sighted and unaware!" ”

"The enemy troops in the front battalion are just feints, and they can't even see this? I guess in half an hour at most, the enemy will attack my rear camp! ”

If it was in normal times, Han Ziyu would put up a stinky shelf, even if he saw the enemy's intentions, he would not say it immediately, because this would show that he had a unique vision; But tonight is different, the enemy may come at any time, and if he hesitates, he is afraid that his life will be in danger, so he has to say.

In fact, Ling Feng's thoughts were the same as Han Ziyu's, when the earth-shattering war drums came from the front camp, he saw through everything.

The purpose of Jiang Yiyuan's attack on the camp was nothing more than for food and grass, if it weren't for that, he would not have had the need to attack the camp at all; In order to achieve the purpose of burning grain and grass, it is necessary to contain more than 100,000 horses in the front, left, right, and center, otherwise the army will come to the rescue, and even if there are more soldiers and horses in the rear camp, they will only fall short.

This is called transferring the tiger from the mountain, and when the soldiers in front are transferred away, Jiang Yiyuan's soldiers and horses can blatantly attack the rear camp, and then burn grain and grass to retreat.

It was precisely because Ling Feng thought of this that he asked Lu Wen and Lu Chang to return to each other, and took the soldiers to take strict precautions and strengthen vigilance.

Ling Feng said: "Ziyu, when the big war is about to start, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you, so you and Que'er stay in this camp, and I will leave you five hundred swordsmen to protect your safety." ”

Hearing this, Han Ziyu waved his hand again and again: "No need, the general just leads the soldiers to meet the battle, and I will protect Miss Que." ”

"What? Do you protect me? ”

Qin Que's eyes widened and said, "Stinky Ziyu, I'm protecting you, right?" ”

"Okay, okay, the big war is coming, don't quarrel, listen to me." Ling Feng thought about it, leaving five hundred people to protect the two of them was indeed a bit much, and besides, there was a shortage of soldiers now.

Ling Feng said: "Then leave a hundred people for you, and I will instruct the soldiers to guard this camp, and you can stay here honestly." ”

It is also strange to say, with Qin Que's character, she should have refuted at this time, but she didn't say a word, but stood behind Ling Feng and pecked her mouth, her expression seemed a little reluctant, but she didn't want to bring it up at this time.

She knows that the big war is about to start, and it is by no means the time to fight, which is more important and which is lighter, and her heart is like a mirror.

Ling Feng looked at the three captains and said, "You three, immediately gather the soldiers of the headquarters and stand by in front of the grain and grass battalion, and change all the weapons into spears and bamboo poles, and when I give the order, they will be put into battle." ”

The three of them bowed their hands at the same time and said loudly: "No." ”

Da-da-da-da

About an hour later, there was a slight tremor in the back camp as in the front camp.

The sound of the horse's hooves was soft, as if something had been wrapped in it. However, countless war horses galloped together, and the scene was spectacular, making the ground tremble.

A slight tremor came from a distance, and although the night was thick and it was impossible to see the scene in the distance, the nerves of Ling Feng, Lu Wen, Lu Chang and the others were tense.

Because this was their first battle, everyone had never been on the battlefield before, including Ling Feng.

If it were a battle-hardened veteran like Qin Huai and Pang Yi, they would definitely lie on the ground and listen carefully to the number of enemy soldiers, and if they heard it, it was a full five thousand!

This is nothing for a veteran, but Ling Feng and the others can't, they don't have the ability, they can only stay where they are and wait quietly and take precautions.

Ling Feng was holding a spear, straddled a black-maned war horse, a horizontal knife hanging from his waist, carrying an arrow bag, and a longbow hanging in front of the horse's belly, his eyes stared into the distance without blinking, motionless.

Because the night was too dark, he ordered someone to light a bonfire, although this would expose the target in advance, but Ling Feng believed that since the enemy had run for hundreds of miles to sneak attack, he would definitely not leave here, even if he saw that there was a defense in the camp, he would continue to attack, so he was not afraid of the enemy seeing it.

As soon as the bonfire and torches were lit, the camp brightened, but only twenty meters could be seen, and the cavalry was twenty meters away, so that only the sound of the galloping horses could be heard, but it was impossible to see the exact location.

"Boom."

As the distance narrowed, the sound of horses' hooves became heavier and heavier, and a sky-high momentum spread from a distance, Ling Feng rode on his war horse and felt a burst of horror.

"General, look!"

Suddenly, Lu Chang, who was on the side, pointed to the distance and said.

Ling Feng raised his eyes and saw a large group of black-pressed cavalry appear in his sight, becoming clearer and clearer, and his momentum was becoming more and more terrifying.

Among the cavalry, a black banner galloped along with the war horse, hunting in the cold wind.

There was a word 'fish' embroidered on the flag, Ling Feng frowned, which general is this? He had already checked out all the generals under Pang Yi, and there was no one surnamed Yu.
