I'm obsessed with fear because I'm afraid.

Liu Yi nodded: "The warriors of Rouran are very brave, they are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death, we have met a total of two groups of tribal warriors who claimed to have been forced to the south by the ghost side, and there are also a group of people who killed their own women and children with their own hands before attacking us, for fear that they will fall into the hands of the ghost side and be even more painful." ”

Deng Bing said in a deep voice: "We also felt strange when we fought Rouran, their ruthlessness was a kind of desperate driven by fear, so the soldiers were like they were infected. ”

"Then have you really encountered a ghost?"

"No, we've met people who gave them their butts to jump into the valley in despair, but luckily never ran into these **s***, damn it! I don't want to smell their stench. Deng Bing muttered.

Liu Yi nodded: "I'm also willing to work hard with Rouran, shit!"

Sima Dan smiled: "If we run into Rouran's cavalry this time, how many people on the other side can eat 50 of us?"

Liu Yi replied: "At least two hundred people, fortunately, the prince insisted on bringing all the iron crossbows, and the soft ** can't please him." ”

"What if you meet a ghost?"

"Then I don't know, but I think we have confidence that if there were no more than fifty of them, we wouldn't be afraid of them."

Sima Dan was overjoyed: "So we don't have to be afraid, when we were in the North Camp, we estimated that each person brought forty iron arrows, to one out of ten, each person can also kill four Huns, fifty of us, there is no problem in killing 200 of them, even if it is a ghost party, unless they have two pairs of wings, it is not difficult for Lao Tzu to shoot one person each!" In short, we don't have to be afraid! Don't say that it's a ghost party, even if it's a ghost pawn, we will kill him without leaving a piece of armor, his grandmother's! ”

One of the tricks of the "eloquence" taught by the master was to use numbers to speak, and Sima Dan gently and skillfully convinced the two partial generals, which made them immediately cheer up. The two saw him and began to "his grandma's!" "It's a pleasure too.

At this moment, a guard rushed through the door.

******

When Sima Dan and the others followed the guards and looked out through the fence, they saw a pair of eyes shining in the dark night.

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "It's a pack of wolves!" ”

At this time, many other soldiers also came to the side of the fence and discussed the scriptures with gossiping: "It's a pack of wolves!" That gentle scout must be nearby! ”

"That's good, fucking thought that this time I was really going to run into those cannibalistic **, and those bastards are not afraid of fighting with a knife and a gun!"

Sima Dan secretly told Liu Deng and the two of them: "I didn't expect that the fear of the ghost side would boost the morale of the army at this time, this is great!" You two arrange it well, if you can survive tonight, they won't dare to attack us again, after all, tomorrow Beidaying will be a lot closer, right? ”

Sima Dan once asked Zhuge what was the most important thing for the way of the general, and the master said that there was one thing that a general could hand over the rest to his subordinates as long as he had it, and that was to inspire people.

So Sima Dan has been learning and trying, wanting the soldiers to know what they are fighting for, and to give them the confidence to win, at this time, he issued a pre-war mobilization to the soldiers:

"If the enemy's forces were much stronger than ours, they would have rushed over and leveled this place, and besides, we still have iron crossbows, and the training of the past few months, as long as we follow the usual training and respond calmly, the enemy will not be able to shake us, kill-kill-kill-!"

Fifty cavalrymen also chanted slogans in unison with the prince, driving the nervousness and fear out of their hearts.

As the veterans expected, soon after the wolves disappeared, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from afar.

The Jin soldiers lit more torches on the wooden fence, and soon someone shouted: "Rouran cavalry!" ”

Hearing that it was really not the legendary ghost party, some people couldn't help but sigh and cheer in a low voice, Liu Yi reprimanded: "Don't be silent, no arrows are allowed without orders!" ”

There was a sharp thud, and an arrow was nailed to the central cabin, followed by a loud snort, and rockets rained down on the cabin and its surroundings.

"Raise your shield!" Liu Yi shouted, everyone had already shrunk behind the bunker, and at the same time raised their shields to defend, hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Liu Yi shouted: "Aim!" All the Jin soldiers obeyed the order, raised their iron crossbows, and looked for targets in the pre-planned gap.

"Dry position found enemy cavalry!"

"Tatsumi has found an enemy horseman! One hundred steps. ”

The soldiers reported the enemy's situation.

Liu Yi ordered: "Enter fifty steps and launch immediately!" ”

At this time, although there were many rockets that were fired through the parabola of Guò for the battalion, due to the ice and snow everywhere, the fire still did not spread, but made the Jin soldiers' vision clearer.

Whining sounded one after another, the sound of an iron crossbow, deeper and louder than the sound of ordinary bows and arrows.

The crossbow has been often matched in the army in the Qin period, the iron crossbow is also called the crossbow, it is said that it was invented in the Han Dynasty, and in the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the crossbow bow, the arrow is also made of iron, which can break the heavy armor, and can be fired three times in a row, compared with the power of the ordinary bow and arrow is not the same as the day.

In a series of roaring shouts, Sima Dan did not heed the advice and climbed to the top of a hut to see at least a hundred Huns surrounding the camp.

The approaching Huns, with grease-stained torches in their hands, were ready to throw them in.

The Jin soldiers all knew the danger of losing their camp defense on the night grassland, and in an instant, the sound of chirping became more intensive, and the sound of sneering bows and arrows continued to sound, and the screams and shouts of anger came and went.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in the northeast corner, it turned out to be a torch that finally lit up a small cabin, several soldiers hurriedly wanted to extinguish the fire with snow, who knew that at this time a rain of arrows flew from the sky, two of them were hit by arrows in the thighs and shoulders, and they were injured and rolled to the ground screaming.

Deng Bing held up the shield and dragged the wounded soldiers back, other officers and soldiers frantically fired iron arrows at the enemy in the northeast, and instantly shot down the horses, and the other party retreated.

But more torches rained in from other directions, and Sima Dan also picked up the crossbow and shot outward.

Liu Yi shouted: "Listen to the order: ignore the torch and shoot the enemy back first!" ”

When everyone got the order, they concentrated their firepower to find the target, and Liu Yi shouted again: "Listen to the order: offensive shooting!" ”

Jin Bing was silent for a while, and quickly reloaded the arrow, only to hear Deng Bing shouting: "Rush! ”

Everyone rushed out of cover and reached the top of the fence, ignoring the enemy's suppression, and in the blink of an eye, they fired three arrows at the target as far as they could see, and a chaotic neighing and screaming came, and for a time I don't know how many people and horses were shot down.

Jin Bing loaded the iron arrow between a few more breaths, and Deng Bing shouted again: "Yin and Yang shooting!" ”

Half of the soldiers stepped forward and shot an arrow every two breaths, and after three arrows, the other half of the soldiers continued to shoot in succession, and at the sixth breath the first batch of soldiers had already loaded the arrows and relayed them again, so that three rounds of fire were fired in succession, and after the enemy horsemen in front of the fence had shot down a large area, the wolf finally retreated.

The last round of shots was just a blind strafing from a distance, with the aim of counter-suppressing the opposing archers.

The last neighing of horses came, and the sudden arrival of the Rouran cavalry also suddenly retreated with the wounded soldiers, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses.

The Jin soldiers wounded twelve people, and only one was critically wounded.

Liu Yi reported to Sima Dan in a deep voice: "The opponent does not have many soldiers and horses, there are more than a hundred cavalry rushing to the front of the column, and the archers in the distance are estimated to be less than a hundred, so the opponent's arrows can't suppress us. ”

Sima Dan was a little embarrassed: "They can't aim in the dark night, damn!" We can only try our luck with arrows, but the cavalry that they rushed to the front can shoot at us at any time, so we can drive them away with only two or three volleys, and Rouran is not terrible at all! ”

Deng Bing came back from extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the battlefield, and when he heard Sima Dan say this, he shook his head at Sima Dan: "Prince, our situation is very bad!" ”

"When I was cleaning the battlefield just now, I found that they had pulled out all our iron arrows, and they shot so many crossbow arrows, why did they only kill so few people?"

"Are you wearing iron armor?"

"Iron armor can't defend against iron crossbows, I've just seen them, they came last night with about a cavalryman pulling five or six horses, and the rest of the horses are just dummies made of animal skins."

Sima Dan was shocked: "The grass boat borrows arrows!" There were also such people in the Huns? ”

Deng Bing smiled bitterly: "This is one of their traditional tactics, they want to consume our iron arrows, and now there are only two or three arrows left on each soldier, and only a few people still have five or six iron arrows, I originally wanted to pick them up on the battlefield and sharpen them, but now I definitely can't do it." ”

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "So tomorrow must be a horse battle with a clear sword and a gun!" ”

******

Although the third battalion of Xiaocai stationed in Hukou Village in Beidaying belongs to light cavalry, they are not only elite soldiers at the forefront of the front, but also have increased their equipment.

Each battalion is equipped with 100 "divine arm crossbows", and its cuirass is also made of iron, which can defend the entire upper body, and the vital parts of the war horse are also covered with iron, which is basically the equipment of semi-heavy cavalry.

Sima Dan was a little worried: "Will our weight affect the war horse?" ”

Liu Yi looked at the cavalry that came out: "No, let's go slowly this morning, raise good horsepower, if we meet them, it is definitely enough to fight a tough battle, these horses are all Dawan breeds, compared to the Huns' horses are tall and powerful, and the fodder is good, and they will never suffer losses, but they don't know the number of the other party." ”

Sima Dan was silent, since the other party had the intention to let the other side release the arrows last night, the preliminary estimate of the other party could not be accurate, he laughed: "In broad daylight, we will not suffer with our armor, besides, Hukou Village must have discovered the enemy situation and sent people to respond, rest assured, as long as you survive today, you can go back and take a good bath!" Wowhaha! ”

The officers and soldiers who were advancing silently in the morning light were finally infected by the commander, and everyone cheered up.

Sima Dan shouted: "Touch your sabers, and then touch your war horses, as long as these two good comrades-in-arms are here, what are you afraid of?" There are so many brothers behind you! ”

The soldiers were finally demoralized and sang the military song loudly:

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying,

Lao Tzu is a warrior who guards the Quartet!

Warriors, kill the Quartet when you are old!

Remember my home and country, kill the Quartet!

Remember my comrades, kill the Quartet!

Rush Rush!

Warriors join forces to kill all sides. ”

In the evening, when they were about to find their camp for the evening, the Rouran cavalry stood in the middle.
