Chapter 145: The Turmoil of the He Clan (27)

Zhou Shi and Xiao Yuze led the knights back and fired rockets into the tent.

A whizzing burst of rockets swooped into the tent where the gunpowder was stored, and the rocket ignited the gunpowder inside the tent.

The gunpowder in the tent was ignited, and with the thunderous explosion roaring, several pillars of smoke rose from the camp of the Yu family's private soldiers.

After the pillar of smoke rose, the camp of the Yu private soldiers was plunged into a raging fire.

"Withdraw!" After confirming the burning of the powder magazine of the Yu private soldiers, Zhou Shi raised his hand and signaled the knights to evacuate the Yu private soldier camp.

In the distance, He Tengxiao, who was dormant in the grass, heard the explosion, raised his telescope and looked at the source of the explosion, and vaguely saw the gunpowder smoke that had not yet dissipated. The sound of explosions and gunsmoke told He Tengxiao that Zhou Shi and the others had successfully attacked the powder magazine of the Yu private soldiers. He Tengxiao laughed, this smile, laughed at the successful sneak attack and burned Yu Yansong's powder magazine, and at the same time, He Tengxiao prayed silently for Zhou Shi and them in his heart, hoping that they could retreat with their whole bodies.

In the camp of the Liao army, Yu Yansong and Wanyan Fushen's faces were cloudy. Yu Yansong made a gray face when he first pledged his allegiance to the new master, and he showed his foreign appearance, which made him feel very annoyed. He couldn't wait to break the corpses of those sneak attacking Zhao troops into thousands of pieces, and then swallow them alive one by one to relieve his hatred.

Looking at the messy camp in front of him, the powder magazine was still burning, not only the powder magazine was burning, but the camps around the powder magazine were not spared, and were ignited by the fire of the powder magazine. The disgraced Yu private soldiers were busy extinguishing the fire so that it would not spread and cause greater damage.

The private soldiers of the Yu clan can be described as extremely embarrassed.

After Wan Yan Fushen reacted, he immediately sent the elite cavalry to pursue the sneak attack, and the elite cavalry had already been dispatched, but now he was still on the way to pursue, and he had not yet received news from the Zhao army.

This sneak attack was beyond the expectations of Wan Yan Fushen and Yu Yansong, to be honest, their vigilance was not low, and they still did not relax their guard in the middle of the night, especially the Liao army, which almost straightened their nerves, in addition to the regular open and dark sentinels, the Liao army sent a patrol team to patrol every once in a while. Yu Yansong's guard is slightly lax compared to the Liao army, but there should be a lot of open and dark posts.

Where did they think that Zhao Jun would wait until the day to sneak attack!

The powder magazine was still blazing, and Yu Yansong knew that Zhao Jun was clearly coming at him this time. The casualties caused by this sneak attack to Yu Yansong's subordinates were not large, except for the minor injuries caused by the stampede in the mixed theory, the death toll caused by the sneak attack was only four or five hundred.

Yu Yansong guessed that there were two reasons for this, one was that the main target of the Zhao army in the sneak attack was his powder magazine, and there was no time to attack and kill the men and horses in the camp, and the other reason was that the number of Zhao troops participating in the sneak attack was scarce.

Yu Yansong clenched his fists, this sneak attack of the Zhao army can be regarded as poking at Yu Yansong's soft underbelly, Yu Yansong's Yu private soldiers are famous for being good at using magic guns, and a magic gun without gunpowder is a burning stick. The powder magazine was burned down, and the combat effectiveness of the Yu private soldiers would be greatly reduced.

"The sneak attack of the Southern Zhao army has seen it clearly!" Yu Yansong sharply asked his subordinates, "How many people, are they the soldiers of the He family, the Qin army or the Liaodong Zhen army?" ”

A battalion general beside Yu Yansong with a face full of fire replied: "The situation was chaotic at that time, and I didn't see how many people there were in the Zhao army, as for which part of the Zhao army was attacked, my subordinates had no way of knowing, only that the dress of these Zhao troops was very different from the Zhao army we had encountered in the past, and the military uniforms on these Zhao soldiers were black." ”

"Black uniform?" Wan Yan Fushen seemed to have grasped the key point, thought for a while, and said, "Most of the military uniforms of the Zhao army are red, and there are very few troops wearing military uniforms of other colors. The casualties caused by the sneak attack were not large, which shows that the Zhao army of the sneak attack had a clear goal, and this target was the powder magazine. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Fushen pointed to the powder magazine that was still burning and said: "It doesn't take a lot of people to sneak attack a powder magazine, if this king uses a record of people, it is enough." ”

was said by Wan Yan Fushen, Yu Yansong's face became ugly, of course Yu Yansong knew what the concept of a recorded centaur was. The establishment of a record of the Liao army is roughly equivalent to the establishment of a hundred households of the Zhao army.

Such a Zhao army is so terrifying, just a hundred people dare to sneak attack the camp of 50,000 people!

"The Zhao army did not leave a corpse, only a dozen dead horses, it is impossible for the Zhao army to be without casualties, and the absence of a corpse shows that they calmly took away the remains of their companions after the war, indicating that the Zhao army's sneak attack this time was quite easy and quite successful." Wan Yan Fushen patted Yu Yansong's shoulder, "This group of Zhao Junhe Tengxiao's troops have no intention, in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, this king is also folded in the hands of this kid." King Beiliang, you have eaten He Tengxiao's loss, but you have not been wronged. ”

The combat effectiveness of this cavalry in this sneak attack was comparable to that of the pro-soldier of the complete face.

Wan Yan prudently imagined that if he was the planner and attacker of this sneak attack, he would not have done better than He Tengxiao. Wan Yan Fushen had to admit that He Tengxiao, the enemy, was his fierce enemy. It's just that Wan Yan is cautious and curious, He Tengxiao is known for his foot soldiers and good use of firearms, and the people who participated in the sneak attack this time are all cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is comparable to that of the Liao army, and even slightly stronger than the cavalry of the Liao army.

The number of this cavalry will not be large, but Wan Yan Fushen judged the results based on the horse's hoof imprints at the scene and the number of casualties in Yu Yansong's department, the number of this cavalry should be about one hundred households. Of course, Yu Yansong's subordinates claimed that the number of Zhao troops in this sneak attack was in the thousands, or even tens of thousands, but Wan Yan Fushen certainly knew that their words were not credible and could not be used as a reference, and Yu Yansong's subordinates exaggerated the number of Zhao troops who attacked Zhao in order to reduce their guilt. Wan Yan Fu Shen still trusted his judgment.

The pursuing Liao army came back, and the cavalry sent by Wanyan Fushen to pursue and intercept were all his personal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness in the Liao army was one of the best.

The result of the pursuit of the Liao army was quite surprising to Wan Yan Fushen, and the Zhao army actually escaped from their pursuit and retreated.

When he came back, the Liao army counselor told Wan Yan Fushen that these Zhao army's superb equestrian skills were secondary, but their war horses were not inferior to the good horses of the Liao army. No matter how much they chased after them, they couldn't catch up with this group of Zhao Jun. He also let Zhao Jun release cold arrows and injured more than 20 brothers.

The Liao army in pursuit of the leader directly confessed the crime. Although it is rare for the Zhao army to defeat the Liao army, it is not unusual, but the victory of the Zhao army over the Liao army is basically to repel the Liao army in the battle of defending the city. Such a defeat will not be a great shame for the Liao army. The siege battle is the short of the Liao army, and the Zhao army said that it is long, and it is good to use its own shortcomings to touch the enemy's strengths, and there is nothing to be ashamed of losing.

However, mounted archery field warfare was the strength of the Liao army, and it was rare for the Liao army to lose to a group of Zhao cavalry in cavalry archery.

What is the origin of this Zhao cavalry? Wan Yan Fushen was very curious about the cavalry of the Zhao army that defeated him. (To be continued.) )
