Chapter 715: Strange Attack
"Sizzle...... Oh my mother, I'm freezing to death! Such a cold day still makes people blow the wind in a high place, and Boss Yan is considered to lack great virtue. ”
"This is a watchtower, for vigilance! The one on the sea is Donglai Tai Shi Ci! He is the best general in the world at assault operations! How can you do it without being on guard? Don't look at the fact that he doesn't have many soldiers now, but you must know that when he broke 50,000 yellow scarves in Duchang City, he only used 800 light horses! Boss Yan's arrangement is still very reasonable. ”
"Lao Guole, you are less here, dare to love you only occasionally rotate a post, of course it is light to say this, Lao Tzu has been on duty for six days in a row, six days! If you have the ability, you are also worth six days of work, and then say this! ”
Although Yan Rou regarded himself as a Hu person on weekdays, his marching formation followed the laws of the Han army.
There is no way, the Hu people camp is too simple, it doesn't matter if the tribes attack each other on the grassland, anyway, the attackers and defenders are also out of order, as long as they get on their horses in time, pick up weapons and rush up, they can respond to the battle in time. Right now, in the Central Plains, it is natural to be cautious in fighting wits and courage with an enemy who is close at hand.
He set up a small number of deer barricades and horses around the camp, built a one-man high wall with large logs behind these fortifications, and erected several watchtowers in both directions near the sea and the river.
These arrangements are very simple and crude in the eyes of connoisseurs who are good at marching and arranging, but for the Hulu outside the Saiwai, they are already very luxurious camps.
Of course, the sentry was very unhappy with the fact that he could not enjoy himself in the luxury camp, but had to blow the wind from the watchtower.
The old sentry shrunk his neck, but his tone was hard: "Hey, you think I can't stand it?" Don't look at my old Guole, who is already old, but our eyes and ears are stronger than many young people. What's the point of this suffering? I want to follow Lord Tanshi Huai back then......"
"Haha, old Golle is starting to brag again. Who doesn't know that when Da Dan was in the north of the desert, you were still herding sheep with snot? Do you still want to be back then? Stop! The boasting of the old Hu people did not cause much resonance, but attracted a lot of ridicule, and even the guards on duty under the watchtower joined in.
"Nonsense!" The old sentry was in a hurry, and he was about to argue: "I was a ...... for the big leader back then" Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he listened attentively, and asked in surprise: "Huh? What was that? ”
The others were taken aback by him. When he hurriedly listened attentively, he didn't hear anything, so he sneered again: "Old Guole, do you know that you are embarrassed?" Where there is any sound, only the sound of the wind. ”
"A big deal in the military. Who dares to laugh at it? The old sentry was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said in a loud voice: "Listen! Listen carefully! The sneering sound was like a knife slashing across the ice...... Did you hear that? ”
He said it in a hurry, and the others were infected by his emotions, and finally put away their thoughts of having fun, and listened attentively in the direction he pointed out, but this time it was a gain. Sure enough, as the old Guo Le said, there was a strange sound in the wind!
"Sneer......"
In the cold night, the sound and light are exceptionally clear, especially the sharp voice. No one reminded me before. The strange sound itself was not loud, so no one cared, and now it was prompted by the old sentry, and he listened to it with bated breath. There is nothing to hide from the sharpness of the wind.
"It's a ...... that came against the wind"
"From the sea? Could it be ......?"
"Enemy attack? No way? People are stepping on the ice, and there is no sound of footsteps. There is no click of the ice being stepped on, but the movement of this knife cutting the ice? Impossible, right? If the people of Qingzhou have the ability to pass through the ice silently, why do they deliberately use knives to cut the ice, for fear that they will not be discovered? ”
"It's not from Qingzhou, who else will it be? Listening to this movement, it seems to be getting louder and louder...... Something is approaching......" the speaker shuddered, and his question, unexpectedly, caused panic.
"It's a ghost, isn't it? It's a ghost in the sea, right? Sea...... The sea is a place that immortal heaven can't control! ”
The strangest thing for the grassland people is the sea, the unknown brings novelty, and it also brings fear, the immortal heaven is the supreme god of the grassland people, but there is no sea on the grassland, this is where Yan Rou made a mistake. Even Tai Shi Ci didn't expect that his surprise attack had already successfully caused panic among his opponents before he was launched.
Because of the panic in his heart, even the experienced old Guole forgot his duty to warn, although their screams woke up many people, but compared to the entire battalion, the impact was insignificant.
"Snort...... Sneer......"
Someone just said the exact reason for the sound, but in a panic, everyone lost their minds, only to feel that countless evil ghosts came in the dark, running like the wind but silently, and the sound was their long tongue!
In the panic, the voices gradually became one, one moment it was in the unknowable distance in the dark, and the next moment it was close!
Something flickered in the darkness, and before the sentinels could come back to their senses, the orange-red light was already lit up in patches!
Not an illusion, but a real existence, a firelight!
The moment he saw the fire, Old Gol almost fell from the watchtower, and he was frightened.
There are large and small fires, and small fires are separated from the large fires, but no matter how big or small, those fires are moving rapidly.
In the visibility of this moment, from Goller's point of view, he could not find any reference and could not assess the speed of the fire's movement, but he knew that the fire was moving fast, very fast! Because in the darkness that is as thick as ink and difficult to dissolve, the fire is reflected in the eyes, forming a large afterimage, which can be seen fast!
It was the unbelievable speed that stuck his warning in his throat.
This is not an enemy attack, if the enemy attacks, the fire is the enemy who ignites it and holds it in his hand, the problem is that it is on the ice, even the best horse on the grassland, it is difficult to run on the ice, and the speed of the fire moves faster than the galloping horse!
He was cold, watching the firelight rapidly approaching, watching the firelight more and more, watching the firelight rise into the sky, and then like a meteor falling, gliding through the inky black night sky, and spreading over the barracks, as bright as the Milky Way pouring down, and the heavenly maidens scattering flowers.
"Ahh A shocking emotion exploded uncontrollably in his chest, turning into a mournful roar, relying on years of military experience, Lao Guole finally realized what the firelight was...... It's the enemy's rocket!
Most of the meteors hit the ground, jumped, and went out in an instant. There were also a small number of orange-red stars splashed on the tent made of felt, and the dry hair met the flames, and the fire burst out like the enthusiasm of the steppe people for robbery.
"Enemy attack, hurry up and fight!" Old Golle was the quickest of the sentinels to come to their senses and react correctly, but his efforts didn't have much effect, and the second, third, and fourth meteors followed, accompanied by a sharp snort on the ice, bringing the flames of death into the barracks.
Someone in the tent closest to the outside of the barracks was awakened, instinctively picked up his scimitar, and jumped out of the tent in his leather jacket. They didn't know what was going on, but the instinct of the steppe people drove them to the right response to meet the enemy. It is this reaction that makes there are very few surprise battles on the grassland, and all wars are face-to-face battles, and the only thing that competes is strength.
However, no matter how quick the reaction was, it was only instinct, and when these steppe warriors found themselves in the midst of a raging fire, they instinctively let out a scream. Soon, these mournful screams intertwined and merged into a lament from the eight layers of hell.
I don't know what kind of monster came in the dark night, and the wind was mixed with the sharp, thin and short, like a sharp blade on the heart, making people's hearts contract.
The sporadic firelight swept through the barracks like a wind, and then soared up like a meteor shower. The firelight also had incredible power, hay, tents, flags, wooden walls...... Anything that can be burned, as long as it is stained by that fire, will quickly burn.
The flames spread through the barracks at an unimaginable rate, and the fear in people's hearts spread faster than the flames. More and more Hu soldiers rushed out of the camp, armed with weapons and unclothed, looking at the horrific scene around them in horror, and then holding their heads, as if they had seen a perverted girl, screaming and running away.
"Hell! It's a water monster in the sea! Wailing and crying, they fled into the depths of the camp out of their instinct for survival.
The men resting in the depths of the camp were awakened from their sleep by the noise of footsteps around them, and without much thought, they joined the fleeing process, and ran to the deeper part of the camp with the cries of those who had fallen down. At the same time, it also spread panic deeper into the barracks.
"This bunch of shit!" Yan Rou was awakened from his dream by the commotion, and with a slight drunkenness, he quickly rushed out of the camp tent, and saw a scene that he would never forget, so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
Because of the intention of luring the enemy, he arranged all the troops of his descendants in the inner camp, and completed the ideological unity, so that everyone in the inner camp was psychologically prepared for being attacked, and could complete the assembly and enter the battle at any time when the turmoil occurred.
Although the level of security on the periphery of the barracks was not very high, it was not unprepared. The people he arranged on the periphery were all Hu people, and these people had a lot of experience in dealing with sneak attacks, even if they were not the opponents of the Qingzhou army, they would not be defeated with one blow.
Yan Rou's plan was perfect.
Use those worthless lives on the periphery to delay time, entangle Tai Shi Ci's surprise attack troops, and then launch a counterattack in the inner camp quickly, then, even if Tai Shi Ci has great ability, don't think about leaving when he comes. But who would have thought that the periphery would collapse so quickly, and it would collapse at the touch of a button, and there was almost no resistance!
"General, what now?" Adult is the honorific title for the leader on the grassland, and Yan Rou has the official position of captain Karasuma in addition to the leader of the tribal alliance, so there is such a nondescript title, which is commonplace in later generations.
Yan Rou gritted her teeth, and her tone was cold: "Take the shortest path and kill it!" ”
