Chapter 16: Unbelievable tricks
readx;
Listening to the battle in Dongying, Du He's gaze fell on the pitch-black front, where it was pitch-black and there was no figure to be seen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
His face was as calm as water, in fact, he himself couldn't be sure if this judgment was correct, but he felt that Hou Junji's attack was not so simple. This bypassed the heavily defended main gate and attacked Dongying, which was indeed a clever move. But if you want to win with this trick, it is definitely not that easy.
The Tang soldiers were strictly disciplined, and no matter whether there was danger or not, as long as the army was outside, they would definitely lay down a tight defense. Even if there is no reminder from Meng'er, Dongying, who is attacked, will react as soon as possible and prepare to fight back.
Hou Junji also brought Tang Bing, it is impossible not to know this. Therefore, he will not pin his hopes of victory on this night attack.
But the night attack was very fierce, and even shook the camp in Dongying.
Du Hedu felt that Hou Junji had set the main attack point in the east camp, and planned to transfer the defense of the front camp to support. However, when he heard Luo Tong and Xue Rengui's pleas, he suddenly noticed something unusual. The battle situation in the east camp was such that even the guards defending the front battalion could not sit still. So as soon as they rush to support, what will happen to the front battalion?
As soon as this idea was born, Du He immediately realized that what Hou Junji really planned to attack was the main gate of the front camp, and he was waiting for the moment when Luo Tong and Xue Rengui couldn't sit still and went to support.
Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the black right side and said, "There seems to be a voice coming from there......"
Du He stared intently, "Sure enough, it is the front camp, Hou Junji, this thief monkey, is really cunning enough......" He suppressed the excitement in his heart, "The crossbowmen listen to my orders, wait for them to get closer, and shoot together......"
In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, it's really good for you to hide your whereabouts. But it is absolutely impossible for a large force, under close surveillance, not to make a sound. And once the intention of the action is discovered, then the surprise attack operation will be declared a failure.
The Xue Yantuo army under the command of Hou Junji did not seem to realize that they had been discovered, and still approached cautiously.
One step, one step!
"Now is it...... Shoot! ā
The sound of crossbow bolts bursting through the air pierced the somewhat calm air here. The salvo of crossbow arrows is a nightmare for a unit that originally wanted to sneak attack others, but was attacked by itself. The soldiers in the front row didn't even know what was going on before they were shot through the body by the arrows that broke through the air.
The miserable screams are endless!
"The plan has been discovered...... "In front of the Duhe camp, Hou Junji sat on horseback, with a faint mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, playing with a delicate scimitar given to him by Yi Nan in his hand, different from the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty, the scimitar was transmitted from the West, "Hey, I really underestimated this guy, it's okay, it's a little interesting, it's not so boring......"
Hou Junji didn't feel a little surprised that the strategy was seen through, and with a wave of his hand, the smile on his face had turned into a solemn one, and he said in a low voice: "Attack ......" The ambush place sounded a loud bone flute, which is a unique musical instrument used by the grassland people to transmit news, the voice is low, but sharp and piercing, and can be heard for several miles.
And at the moment when the bone flute sounded.
On Hou Junji's right hand, a group of cavalry was slowly moving forward, they were extremely numerous, but they did not make a sound.
This pair of cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry, their people are ordinary Xue Yantuo soldiers, but the mounts are different from ordinary war horses, they have dozens of pieces of iron attached to their bodies, just like iron horses, very weird.
They crept forward until they approached a certain distance and were almost parallel to the spotted friendly on their left, and then instantly accelerated forward. At the same time as they dived at high speed, they actually got under the horse's belly one by one, and there was not the slightest human figure in sight.
Duhe commanded the crossbow arrows to suppress the enemy on the right, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the left and noticed an anomaly on the left. Obviously, Hou Junji did not underestimate his existence, thinking that he must have been tricked, and deliberately used the enemy on the right side to make a temptation, attract his attention, and aim the real assault point on the left.
"Cunning monkey!" Du He couldn't help but say a word, and once again commanded the crossbow arrow to shoot at the enemy on the left.
After two rounds of arrows, there was no screaming to be heard, only the neighing of horses, mixed only with the voices of a few people. Just as I was feeling strange, one by one the ironclad horses had rushed to the front.
In the faint light of the fire, the ironclad horse was filled with crossbow arrows.
The sharp arrows pierced the iron armor and mercilessly burrowed into the body of the war horse.
However, the vitality of war horses is dozens of times that of people, or even a hundred times, and the sharp arrows have been severely damaged because of the protection of iron sheets, but they are not enough to be fatal.
Tie rode over the trap that Xue Rengui had dug and rushed to the fence.
"Be careful, there's someone under the horse!"
When the horse jumped over the trap, the sharp-eyed man had already spotted the soldier hiding under the horse's belly, but by this time, it was too late.
One by one, Xue Yantuo's soldiers returned to their horses, and with the help of the horse's body as a pedal, they jumped over the fence and rushed into the camp.
One after another!
In an instant, more than 300 people have used this unbelievable means to break through the crossbow arrow and rush to the front.
"Good means...... Even if it is an enemy, Du He has to praise when he sees this scene, this Hou Junji is really a fucking genius.
These three hundred people belonged to the nature of death squads, they were extremely brave, they were not afraid of death, they did not care about ordinary soldiers, they plunged into the crossbow arrows, and danced their blades wildly.
Crossbow arrows lose all advantages when they encounter a melee attack.
"Abandon the crossbow, draw the sword, and fight with the white knuckle!" At the right time, Du He gave the order.
The crossbowmen of the Tang Dynasty were all sidelines, and the warriors were their main job, as soon as they were ordered.
Each crossbowman has been transformed into a warrior who can fight at close range.
The ...... of the Reach
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again.
Hou Junji continued to use similar means to send soldiers into the camp one by one, completely suppressing the use of crossbow arrows.
"Boom ......"
With the suppression of the crossbow arrows, Hou Junji personally led the army to launch a real attack.
Since the first wave of ironclad horses appeared, Dohort had realized that the crossbow bolts had completely lost their effectiveness.
Hou Junji was too familiar with the tactics of the Tang Dynasty, and knew all the advantages and disadvantages of crossbow arrows, so he completely restrained crossbow arrows. The shield during the day is just a temptation tactic, and the real killing move is this incredible iron cavalry.
Du He pulled out his sword, and beside him stood a brave and incomparable Tang soldier.
Looking at Xue Yantuo's troops who were approaching, his eyes also ignited with monstrous war intent, Tang crossbow is only a part of the Tang army, restraining Tang crossbow does not mean restraining Tang soldiers, hand-to-hand combat, white-knuckle combat, none of the Tang soldiers will be inferior to Xue Yantuo......
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out......
