With the psychological quality of the steppe coalition army, it was not easy to bomb the camp. However, the fourth watch in the middle of the night is the time when people's minds are most relaxed; It has been more than three months of war, and the spirit is tense; Running all the way during the day, mentally and physically exhausted, and the "Thor bag"

The momentum is too loud, and it appears too suddenly...... If the explosion of the "Thor Bag" appeared at the time of the battle, although the soldiers of the grassland alliance would be shocked and panicked, they would never be so at a loss, but unfortunately, it was the second watch in the middle of the night, and when the accident appeared, nearly half of the soldiers of the grassland alliance army were still asleep...... In short, Xiao Mo's plan was unexpectedly successful. 【】

Xiao Mo didn't think that just one surprise attack could cause the Grassland Coalition Army's bombing camp, this was just the beginning, and the demoralization of the Grassland Coalition Army was only the first step in his plan to bomb the camp.

However, Xiao Mo still underestimated the impact of the "Thor Bag" on the people of this era, as well as the mental exhaustion under the successive battles, and the appearance of the first step of the plan was actually to bomb the camp of the grassland coalition army in advance!! Even Xiao Mo himself was quite surprised.

However, in this way, it is easier to implement the bamboo strokes behind Xiao Mo.

According to later psychologists, the bombing of the camp is a kind of collective self-hypnosis behavior, when the first person falls into a frenzy, soon, everyone else around him will fall into an inexplicable frenzy, and then it will be transmitted to everyone on the field.

And this is the case with the grassland coalition at this moment.

When the first steppe warrior fell into a frenzy and shouted indiscriminately, soon, one ten, ten to hundred, the entire steppe coalition army, in just a stick of incense, the situation has become uncontrollable.

Countless steppe warriors ran around barefoot, looking wild, shouting "enemy attack" or "divine punishment"; Countless lit tents burst into flames; The countless military horses in the grassland alliance army broke free from their shackles in fright, and galloped around in panic like the grassland warriors.

In a short period of time, countless steppe warriors were trampled to death, or trapped in the tents, burned alive!!

While there are many sober steppe warriors who try to stop this inexplicable chaos, they are alone. It doesn't work at all, and even gets killed, or becomes crazy under the infection of frenzy.

The wind is howling, which is the lament of the nomads of the steppe on this night.

"Can anyone tell me how the hell is going to be to !?? abundance?"

The Great Khan Bal of the Di tribe, while plowing cattle and attacking the camp, was already sober early and was just preparing to meet the enemy. But the next change made him stunned and angry.

Seeing that the brave and obedient warriors under his command in the past became uncontrollable in a short moment, Balak was furious. He asked the guards around him who were guarding him in the middle.

These personal guards are all warriors of the Di tribe, and their psychological quality is far from being comparable to that of ordinary steppe warriors, although it is night, they have been soberly guarding around the royal tent of Bale, so after the camp was bombed at this moment, most of them remained awake.

Fortunately, these people guarded it, otherwise the Great Khan's tent would have been attacked by the warriors of his own tribe who had fallen into a frenzy.

But in the face of such an incredible situation. But there was no one to answer Balak's question.

Bale didn't expect these soldiers under his command to answer, looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, and looking up at the *** Tongming who was in Shangyuan City in the distance, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Before the Great Chu army takes advantage of the chaos to come to Gong, calm down the chaos as soon as possible, there are stubborn people...... Kill!! ”

"No!!"

With Bale's order, the surrounding guards all changed their faces, but they still resolutely carried out Bale's order, some of them still protected Baal, and the other part raised their knives and rushed towards the frenzied Di warriors around them.

Obviously, after the bombing of the camp, the frenzy of these steppe warriors could not be easily quelled. They can all be regarded as "stubborn", so these Bale's guards, after the dissuasion was ineffective. They raised the scimitars in their hands and slashed at the compatriots in front of them without a trace of emotion.

Fight chaos with killing!!

Balak had been one of the few wise leaders of the Di tribe for hundreds of years, but he had never experienced the bombing of a camp, and if he had been given another chance, Balak would never have given the same order.

With the occurrence of deaths, although the Di warriors in the bombing camp were delirious for a short time, they were under the self-preservation instinct and the cultivation of the warriors. But they are all quick to launch counterattacks against the attackers. Although there is no weapon in his hand, he can either scratch or bite. His expression became more and more poignant.

And this kind of fighting quickly infected everyone. Soon, almost all the people in the Barbarian camp couldn't help but attack the people around them.

Casualties, not long after Bale's order, began to multiply geometrically!!

The atmosphere became more and more frenetic.

And just as Balak's remorse grew in anger. The camp of the Khitan, Xixianbei, Murwei and other ethnic groups. The same situation, the same process, and the same result have occurred.

At the same time, in Shangyuan City, witnessing this dramatic scene, all the Great Chu soldiers couldn't help cheering loudly.

Because of the precautions in advance, although the earth-shattering explosion of the "Thor Bag" also reached Shangyuan City, it did not cause much turmoil.

Looking at the chaos and cannibalism in the camp of the grassland coalition army, every Great Chu soldier was elated, thinking of the change of the grassland barbarians. It was all arranged by Xiao Mo, and all the civil and military officials, the soldiers and soldiers, looked at Xiao Mo's eyes, and they were even more respectful. For the first time in my heart, I felt that this battle of Shangyuan City. Maybe we can really win the final victory.

For a time, yesterday's barbarian arrows were fired together. The demoralization caused by it is also lost in an instant.

Among them, Zhao Ying, who hated the grassland coalition the most, was the most excited after seeing this scene, and he no longer had the shrewdness and composure of the past, and he also cheered with the soldiers around him.

After cheering for a while, Zhao Ying seemed to think of something, and suddenly bowed to Xiao Mo and suggested, "My lord, we have such a good opportunity. Let's attack, maybe with this opportunity, we can win in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing Zhao Ying's words, the civil and military officials around Xiao Mo quieted down one after another, and they all looked towards Xiao Mo, their eyes full of eagerness.

At this moment, everyone knows that although the grassland coalition army is strong, but under the current situation, it has no resistance to the enemy's attack, and at this moment to go to the raid, the great credit is already at your fingertips, but there is no fear of the grassland barbarians in the past.

However, for the expectations of the officials, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, a look of regret flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "Let them kill each other, and weaken their strength first." It's not time for us to make a move. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, everyone's faces showed disappointment.

In fact, Xiao Mo also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, maybe he could really decide the battle in one battle, but the actual conditions did not allow him to do so.

The quality of the Great Chu army is a big constraint. Let's not talk about the combat power, but the lack of discipline and psychological quality made Xiao Mo dare not attack rashly. Otherwise, once attacked, it is very likely that Da Chu's army will not only cause effective casualties to the grassland coalition army, but also fall into the chaos of the grassland coalition army, unable to get out, and eventually suffer serious losses and lose both.

In the battle of Shangyuan City, the focus was between defense and delay, Xiao Mo knew this very well, and he didn't want to take risks at will.

The most important thing is that outside Shangyuan City, there are many obstacles such as horse rejection trenches arranged by the defenders of Shangyuan City, which not only blocked the siege of the grassland coalition army, but also blocked the raid of the Great Chu army in the city. Maybe after the Great Chu army finished forming outside the city. The chaos of the steppe coalition has long since subsided.

Therefore, Xiao Mo ignored the expectations of the civil and military officials of the congregation, and rejected Zhao Ying's suggestion to take the initiative.

Seeing that everyone around him was full of disappointment, Xiao Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "After this chaos, even if the grassland coalition army is not seriously injured, it will be unstable and demoralized, I am afraid it will be impossible to launch an attack on Shangyuan City tomorrow." After a busy night, it's better to rest early. However, just in case, it is necessary to strengthen surveillance of the grassland coalition forces. ”

In the midst of everyone's chorus, Xiao Mo had already taken the lead with his entourage and walked towards the city wall.

The sun is like the enemy of the dream obstacle, when the sun rises, the sky becomes brighter, and the sun shines on the earth. The chaos between the grassland coalition forces has finally subsided.

It's just chaos that has calmed down. Heavy casualties, low morale, and overdrawn physical strength cannot be recovered overnight.

Bale led a group of personal guard generals and inspected the Di camp with gloomy faces.

Although after the initial error of judgment, Bale has always commanded properly, such as searching for cool water, and even sprinkling horse urine, etc., which effectively reduced the casualties of the Di people, but the damage brought to the Di people by this chaos is still terrifying.

As far as the eye can see, there are black remnants of wood left behind by the fire, and although the soldiers who have come to their senses have cleaned up the remnants of this chaos as soon as possible, the blood stains of severed limbs can still be found everywhere.

More importantly, this bombing of the camp greatly impacted the spirit of the Di warriors, and the chaos of half the night also overdrew their physical strength, and every Di warrior was dazed, helpless and powerless.

At this time, Balak no longer had the anger of the night, but a little sadness.

Although I am used to seeing dead and wounded, but this time. Serious losses aside, and most importantly, such casualties are worthless.

"The destination of a warrior should be the battlefield. And not an inexplicable mess."

Balak stopped abruptly and muttered in a low voice.

And the next moment, when Bale looked up at Shangyuan City in the distance, his eyes were filled with burning anger again.

This inexplicable chaos was all caused by the defenders of Shangyuan City, who took advantage of the night to bring nearly a thousand ploughing cattle with countless "Thunder God Bags".

However, at the same time, there was a faint terror in Bale's heart.

Although he is the Supreme of the Grassland, he does not know the role and origin of the "Thor Bag", for the terrifying successive explosions last night, and caused the Grassland Coalition to bomb the camp, although Bale maintained his composure, but his heart was full of inexplicability.

If the Great Chu army attacked the camp like this every night...... If so, the Great Chu army has countless "Thor Bags...... If so, the Great Chu army meets the enemy with the "Thunder God Bag...... Thinking of this, Bal couldn't help frowning. Then he shook his head and put that thought aside.

First, as far as Bale knows, although the "Thor Bag" is huge, its power is only average. The steppe warrior who died last night in the "Thor bag". Just a tiny minority; Second, Bale also did not believe that the Great Chu army would have too many "Thor bags"

Otherwise, attacking all the way, the previous Great Chu army would have already used it.

The only thing to worry about is that after this mess. The fighters of the Prairie Alliance, the psychological shadow of the "Thor Bag".

In fact, Balek's guess was correct. This night's raid has used up nearly half of the inventory of the "Thor Bag" in Shangyuan City.

And just as Bal was secretly thinking about what to do in the future, a Di warrior suddenly rushed to Bal and knelt down to report: "Great Khan. The Great Khan of the Khitan, Xixianbei, Murwei and other tribes, as well as the leaders of the major tribes, came.

Balak took a deep breath, turned over and walked toward his tent, and said, "Let them come to me." ”

After this chaos, what are the losses of the ministries? ”

In the king's tent, after the Great Khan of the tribes and the chiefs of the tribes had gathered, Balak asked slowly.

As Balak inquired, the faces of the people in the king's tent grew paler and angry. "I, the Khitan Division, have nearly 9,000 soldiers killed and wounded. Four thousand horses were lost, and nearly half of the tents were burned. Khitan Khan Yelu Axiao Ji said slowly with a gloomy face.

"Murweibu, nearly 8,000 soldiers killed and wounded. Three thousand five hundred horses were lost," the camp was burned, and the Great Khan of the Wei tribe, An Bao, gritted his teeth in his tone.

In fact, because when the chaos appeared, it was already the fourth watch, although it was the time when people's defenses were the weakest, but it was also close to the early morning, so this chaos did not last too long, and although the casualties of the various ethnic groups were heavy, they were only heavy casualties, and they did not reach the level where they could no longer fight.

But everyone knew that if this chaos continued for another hour, then the grassland coalition would have to flee back to the grassland to recuperate.

Bu Xiangen, the leader of Xixianbei, was the palest person on the field, and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Xianbei Division, 11,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and 8,000 horses were lost. The tents were almost completely destroyed. ”

Hearing Bu Xiangen's words, everyone in the king's tent looked sideways.

The Xianbei clan is the nomadic race with the longest history on the grassland, it is a branch of the Donghu tribe in the Shang Dynasty, in the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was prosperous for a while, but with the change of the times, Xianbei also began to gradually weaken, until now, only one of the West Xianbei remains, and the strength is even more fortunate in the ranking of the grassland tribes.

This time the grassland coalition army, although the Qi people mobilized in Xixianbei, the number of troops was still the least, but it was just 20,000.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, Xi Xianbei lost more than half of his troops.

I'm afraid that after this war, the Xixianbei clan will be lonely from now on.

And then, the eyes of everyone in the king's tent flashed.

The grassland is originally a world of the jungle, coupled with the fickle nature, yesterday's allies can immediately become enemies, so when everyone's Zhixi Xianbei clan is greatly damaged, the first thought in everyone's mind is to annex the Xixianbei clan to strengthen the strength of their own tribe.

And after seeing the eyes of the leaders of the various clans, Bu Xiangen lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Of all the people, Balak was the only one with a calm expression. It didn't seem to have thought of these filthy things at all, but said lightly: "I, the Di tribe, have more than 12,000 and a half soldiers killed and wounded, 4,000 horses have fled, and more than one-third of the camp has been burned. ”

After hearing Bale's words, everyone's faces changed again.

With 12,000 casualties, it seems that the loss is the heaviest among all the tribes, but in fact, in the grassland coalition army, there are more than half of the Di warriors, and in terms of proportion, the losses of the Di tribe are the lowest.

After this chaos, the gap between the various ethnic groups and the Di ethnic group not only did not decrease, but was widened again.

Yelu Axiao said viciously: "Damn, has the wolf god abandoned us? For no reason, we lost nearly 40,000 soldiers in one go, you know, this is almost the sum of our previous casualties!! ”

After being silent for a moment, Bale said slowly: "This can only be blamed on us, we are too anxious, and in just three months, we have fought too many vicious battles. But they didn't give the sons and daughters time to rest, they had reached their limit, but we only saw the prosperity of Dachu in our eyes, but ignored the epidemic and the soldiers

Speaking of this, Bale's face became more and more serious, and he raised his head and said: "Pass on my Great Khan's order, all the troops are encamped, move out three more arrows, rest for three days, and after three days, go to war again." ”

Jereh looked at Balak incredulously. He asked: "Bal Khan, this time our losses are all caused by the Chu people, do we have to swallow our anger like this?" ”

Bale turned his head and glanced at Yelu Axiao Ji, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you think that with the current morale and physical strength of the sons, you can find the Chu people for revenge?" ”

After hearing Balak's words, Jerea Xiaoji bowed his head and was speechless.

But Bal suddenly stood up, pointed in the direction of Yuancheng, and shouted: "You tell the warriors that we are not cowardly evading, but accumulating strength, and after three days, it will be the time for us to make the Chu people pay for what they have done!" The descendants of the wolf god will never let them be humiliated!! ”

As Bale's words fell, a raging fire of hatred ignited in the eyes of everyone on the field, and they should have said in unison.

In the current situation, Bale's decision was not wrong, but Balak did not know it. In the next three days, although he had no intention of attacking Shangyuan City, he had to face Xiao Mo's ...... to them Dalliance.
