Chapter 385: Victory in the first battle
The sudden offensive launched by the officers and soldiers obviously caught those thieves by surprise.
The first wave of arrows rained down, and the unprepared thieves fell down one after another, screams, wails rang out from time to time, and those thieves who were shot, but did not die immediately, rolled on the ground, blood sprayed out as if they didn't want money, dyeing the whole ground a dark red, and the air was also filled with a smell of blood.
The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers, this is an iron law when attacking.
After the first wave of salvo fire, Bai Qing gave the order again to the soldier beside him, and after receiving the order, the soldier also waved the flag in his hand again, and after seeing his movements, the generals of the box army also conveyed the order to the team behind them.
The huge team of officers and soldiers, at this time, was like an incomparably sophisticated instrument, and began to operate quickly, and the horse team rushed out first, and launched an attack on the thieves who were like frightened birds on the opposite side, and thousands of horse hooves continued to trample the ground under their feet, making the earth seem to become afraid and tremble violently, like a torrent that suddenly accelerated, and drowned towards the position of the thief army.
The other infantry teams also picked up their own blades, followed behind the horse army from the front and side, and outflanked the thieves, while advancing, those officers and soldiers continued to shout loudly, as if they were emboldening themselves, and the sound resounded in the sky like a bell, constantly echoing back and forth in this open place. When it reached the ears of those thieves, it felt like a thunderbolt. They were already a little panicked, and their hearts were even more panicked.
But fortunately, Xu Fang, Changsheng and others are not incompetent guys. After the initial accident and panic, they hurriedly gathered the crowd, regrouped, and faced the menacing officers and soldiers, they took the lead and led those thieves to meet the officers and soldiers, and started a fight.
And even the four people who were originally fighting in front of the battle, Yue Lei, Li Hongcai, Li Tianyou and Zhang Jinren, after seeing Fang Cai's scene. They didn't continue to fight, because they knew very well in their hearts that the large-scale fighting and melee had begun, and there was no point in them continuing to continue, so it was almost a tacit understanding, and the two sides returned to their respective teams, and then fought with the other team.
Time. It was really a shouting of killing that shook the sky, until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the neighing of horses could be heard from time to time. The clashing of swords and arrows, the shouts and screams of people, and the scenes of fighting everywhere. The flesh and blood could be seen everywhere, and the two sides were almost killed. One by one's eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to see the enemies in front of them. Swallow it all in one gulp.
However, it is obvious that the overall strength of the official army is not a grade stronger than that of the thieves, and after fighting for a while, the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards the side of the official army, and with the organized cooperation of the official army, those stragglers are almost defeated and retreated, and soon there are very huge casualties, and from time to time you can see thieves lying on the ground with the cooperation of several officers and soldiers.
Finally, the psychology of some thieves began to collapse, after all, they were just civilians before, even if they had been trained by Manichaeism, but it was still difficult to compare with the official army, and soon some people began to flee with their heads, and as the battle deepened, this phenomenon became more and more serious, more and more sect members, under this strong pressure, threw away their blades and fled in the direction of the city gate.
And Xu Fang and Changsheng, who were in charge of the command, saw this scene, and finally had to admit that today's plan had been completely bankrupt, so they Mingjin withdrew his troops, and several of their generals killed the soldiers who were fighting around them, and then fought and retreated, and finally led those defeated troops and fled back to Tonglu County.
Seeing that the opponent's brigade had fled into the city, Bai Qing stopped the actions of those officials and soldiers who wanted to pursue, and what they needed most at the moment was the vitality of constantly killing the thieves, after all, they not only wanted to win, but also to win beautifully, and preserve the vitality, after all, their enemies were not just the wave in front of them.
After all the thieves retreated, Bai Qing and the others also returned to the camp, leaving behind the corpses all over the ground, of course, most of them were the corpses of those thieves.
In today's battle, the officers and soldiers killed more than 6,000 enemies, and of course they themselves also suffered one or two thousand casualties.
In the camp tent convened those generals of the box army, a good summary of today's battle, in general, although today is not a big victory, but it is still a good job, especially those horse army teams, although the integration time is not long, but the cooperation between each other is not bad, today's results, the big head is still achieved by the horse army, after all, in this era, the charging horse army against an infantry that has lost its fighting spirit, it is definitely equivalent to the existence of a meat grinder.
After arranging a night duty and instructing them to strictly prevent thieves from attacking the camp at night, Bai Qing dismissed the generals of the box army and returned to his own camp.
Sure enough, as Bai Qing expected, in the night, the thieves sent a team to attack at night, but the prepared officials and soldiers came to catch turtles in an urn, and these men sent out, except for a few clever ones who escaped, the rest were basically all wiped out.
In today's battle, the official army won twice, and these thieves can only be said to have lost their sharpness again.
After almost completely annihilating these intrusive thieves, the officers and soldiers did not have any intention of relaxing their vigilance to prevent the thieves from attacking the camp again, and they maintained a high degree of vigilance for almost the whole night, especially on the side of grain and grass, which was ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and it was so tight that it was almost impossible for a fly to get in.
And Bai Qing, after the first thief came to attack and was exterminated, was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and in his hand, he was still holding a note, which was nailed to his table by an arrow when those thieves attacked the camp before.
