Chapter 873: Trick Attack

"Bell, bell!"

Faced with the sudden departure of the Chen army out of the camp and formation, the soldiers of the Wu army sounded the alarm bell for the first time. The bell quickly echoed in the company camp, and finally passed back to the regent camp on Siping Mountain, layer by layer.

"All on alert, line up to meet the enemy!"

Seeing that the procrastination trick of delaying the army no longer worked, Shen Luoyan also immediately issued an order to meet the enemy. No matter what the plan is, in the end, you still have to rely on knives and guns to speak.

The autumn wind danced, blowing the hunting flag, and the wisps of helmets were blowing.

It's just that Wu Jun went up and down, and few people found that in the dancing autumn wind, there seemed to be bursts of clear smoke and mist, and there were bursts of strange floral fragrance in the mist. At such a time of year, it is very strange to have such a smell in the air.

However, at the moment of the great enemy, the Wu army was fully prepared for battle, and the soldiers wore armor and helmets, raised shields and guns, and no one seemed to care about this surprise.

Autumn is crisp and the sun is shining.

The soldiers of the Wu army were like facing a great enemy, and tens of thousands of troops were all assembled in the first camp, wearing helmets and armor, raising shields and holding swords, waiting for the attack of the Chen army.

The war drums of Chen's camp were still beating over and over again, and the strong rhythm of the drums seemed to hit the hearts of the soldiers of the Wu army, making their blood rise and their faces red. One by one, the officers of the Wu army ran around their own defense areas, waving their swords and shouting, encouraging morale over and over again, and their mouths were dry, which also made those soldiers rise up one by one and were ready to fight to the death at any time.

However, from the beginning of the sun to the middle of the sun, Chen Jun's war drums were still beating, but Chen Jun's soldiers never had the intention of attacking. Even the group of Chen soldiers who came out of the camp at the beginning turned around and returned to the camp.

However, the generals of the Wu army did not dare to be careless, and the Chen army was scheming. If you're not careful, you may be fooled. Don't be careful. Therefore, it was clear that Chen Jun only made a false shot, but Wu Jun did not dare to retreat. Still on the lookout. Not a single person dared to give the order to withdraw.

Although it was already early winter, he was wearing thick armor under the sun. They had to maintain a strict formation and stand there motionless, even in early winter, after a long time, the soldiers couldn't help sweating and their mouths were dry. Many soldiers couldn't help but be thirsty, and from time to time they picked up water bladders to drink.

By the afternoon, Chen Jun had stopped beating the drums. There is still no intention of attacking.

The soldiers on the front line of the Wu army already felt a little deceived at this time, and many soldiers spoke to their superiors one after another, feeling that they had been deceived by Chen Jun. The army should be disbanded and recuperated. Otherwise. If Chen Jun was mobilized after just listening to the sound of the drums, then it would go on like this. Everyone was completely caught by Chen Jun's tired tactics, and they didn't want to fight.

The words of the soldiers reached Shen Luoyan, and Shen Luoyan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any better way to deal with it. In the end, the battalion had to divide the 100,000 men in the battalion into three divisions, each with 30,000 horses. They were transferred to the front battalion in turn, and no matter whether the Chen army was attacking or not, someone had to guard it.

As Wu Jun expected, as soon as the Wu army retreated, the drums in Chen's camp sounded again, and one by one Chen's army quickly rushed out of the camp gate to line up, with a momentum of immediately preparing to attack. As a result, Wu Jun had to immediately pull the men and horses that had just been divided to the top of the front camp immediately.

But as soon as the Wu army was in place, Chen Jun retreated.

After doing this again and again, when it was almost dusk, the three classes of Wu Jun's men and horses had almost taken their turns. Every soldier was so tired that he didn't even have a bite to eat all day, and most of them drank only a stomach full of water and a piece of dry bread.

"Your Majesty, the time is almost up. During the day, although the Wu army was divided into troops to defend in turn, they were also exhausted. What's more, if you calculate the time, our secret weapon is almost time to strike. At this time, the attack was just right, and if they waited until the Wu army attacked before attacking, maybe they would respond instead. Li Benlei stood behind Chen Kefu and proposed. …,

Chen Kefu looked at the eighteen company camps in front of Siping Mountain, and nodded, really let the soldiers of the Chen army beat the barracks one by one, not to mention, it may cause a lot of damage to those soldiers who were put together.

At present, every Chen Jun is a force, and Chen Kefu is not willing to lose it at all.

It is a bit unreasonable to come up with such a method to deal with the Wu army, but the soldiers are treacherous, as long as they win, sometimes they can do it in luxury cities, not to mention this.

Slowly pulling out the Chixiao sword at his waist, Chen Kefu pointed to the Wu army camp in the afterglow of the setting sun: "The whole army is attacking!" Today, it's a drum! ”

The three marshals, Li Benlei, Qu Tutong, and Zhang Zhongjian, knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Kefu, and said respectfully: "For Da Chen, for Your Majesty, go to the soup and die!" ”

"For the sake of Da Chen, for the sake of Your Majesty, go to the soup and fight the blade, and die without spinning!" More generals shouted in unison.

"Attack!"

"Woo! ――――

Long horns whined, snare drums beaten. Chen's camp was opened again, but this time it was not the infantry who rushed out of the camp first, but the 20,000 cavalry mobilized from all the battalions of the army.

It was like the floodgate of the flood was opened, and thousands of troops rushed out of the camp and ran wildly!

At the same time, a row of military tents behind the camp of Chen's camp was suddenly opened, and ten red-clothed cannons were revealed. These cannons, which took a lot of effort to transport, all show their hideous nature.

"Fire!"

Ten cannons fired in unison, and the whistling cannonballs flew over the galloping horses, smashing into the first company camp of the Wu army with a long tail flame. After a violent impact, the landing was smashed by several defensive facilities in the first company camp, and one shell even smashed directly on a tall arrow tower. The tower disintegrated in the air and shattered.

The sudden blow made the Wu army a little uncomproper, the Chen army's camp and the Wu army's first company camp were ten miles away, and everyone didn't expect that the Chen army actually attacked directly from the camp and hit their camp directly.

Several fake attacks during the day made Wu Jun's vigilance significantly lower. Although they had heard Chen Jun's horn and war drums before, and even seen Chen Jun leave the camp, many people thought that Chen Jun was still tired of the army and harassed him. The reaction of many Wu troops was obviously slow, and it was only after the first round of heavy shelling that many people suddenly woke up to the fact that the Chen army had really attacked.

However, by this time, the cavalry of the Chen army had quickly rushed to the middle of the two battalions, and it was only about a thousand steps away from the Wu army's camp.

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! ”

The frightened roars in the Wu army camp sounded everywhere, and one by one the Wu soldiers hurriedly stepped forward.

With 20,000 cavalry charging en masse, it was definitely a devastating attack. With so many heavy cavalry charges, they didn't even need any formation, just riding their horses and rushing in unison already made people feel like a landslide and tsunami. The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

"Gun array! Squat down in the front row, raise guns in the back row! The captains of the Wu military academy shouted loudly in front of the battle.

But at this moment, in the dense infantry gun formation, a soldier suddenly fainted.

A lieutenant officer stepped forward angrily, grabbed the soldier and shouted, "Useless seed, get up and stand up for me." But the soldier seemed to faint completely, and no matter how much he yelled, he did not react.

The enraged officer sliced off the soldier's head with a sword, splattering his body with blood. But at this moment, this move not only deterred those timid cowards, but several more soldiers in the array fell.

"Coward, coward! You cowards! I'm going to kill you all! The officer was already angry, and the big battle was imminent, and these cowards fell directly before they could meet the enemy.

Just as the lieutenant raised his sword again, a squad officer who seemed to be very old suddenly shouted, "My lord, they seem to have been poisoned." ”

"What, poisoning!"

As soon as the veteran's words came out, countless people panicked. …,

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a few more soldiers in the spear array fainted. At this time, even if the officer was sluggish, he knew that something was wrong. The soldiers in the army are the most useless, and in the face of the enemy's attack, it is impossible for so many people to suddenly faint in fright.

"But, they don't look like they're poisoned, they don't bleed black, they don't die, they look like they're asleep?" The lieutenant looked at several soldiers who had passed out and asked puzzled.

However, at this time, there was no one to answer his question, and the second round of artillery bombardment of the Chen army arrived, and the rumbling loud noise directly smashed several huge gaps in the camp, and dozens of unlucky soldiers were directly bombed into slag.

There was a roar in the captain's ears, and for a moment he felt only a buzzing sound, and he couldn't hear anything. But he looked around blankly, but found that the dozen or so spear phalanxes lined up together had actually dispersed. From time to time, people suddenly fell, and those people were the same as the people in his formation before.

There were a lot of people who fell, basically twenty or thirty people fell in a phalanx of spears of more than 200 people. The number of people who fell was 10% and counting, and although those people did not die but seemed to be asleep, it was no different from being dead on the battlefield.

And what made him even more shocking was that a phalanx of spears was a dense array of guns to fight against those fierce cavalry. And the person who suddenly lost a layer immediately made the gun array full of loopholes, countless flaws, and gaps everywhere. Such a phalanx, against the overwhelming cavalry, there is only one dead end, and it is difficult to stop it in a single round.

"Run!"

"Chen Pojun will do it and directly accept people's lives."

"This battle can't be fought, run!"

The lieutenant suddenly regained his hearing, and then the next moment the panicked voices of countless people came to his ears.

There were whistling cannonballs on his head, and there were countless Chen cavalry rushing in front of him, and what was even more terrifying was that there were people around him who kept falling suddenly. Under this huge blow, the 20,000 cavalry of the Chen army had not yet been killed, and the first camp of the eighteen companies and battalions of the Wu army had collapsed.
