CHAPTER XVI
"Try not to fight, only target the sheep and the fodder for the horses, so that you can hurt them!" Sima Dan raised his saber in his hand and ordered loudly.
All the Jin soldiers changed into war horses without loads, returned to the combat state of one person and one horse, leaving only dozens of people to take care of the horses, and then went to the enemy camp in the dark.
Sima Dan took the lead, and when the speed of the horse gradually increased, he was only three arrows away from the enemy, at this time, the heaven and earth could already see under the reflection of the bonfire, and he soon saw several Hun scouts.
The two sides suddenly meet in the dark.
The Jin soldiers were already prepared, and the iron crossbow made a roaring sound, and in a breath, they eliminated the opponent's scouts.
The Xiongnu barracks did not have any fences, and most of the Xiongnu fell asleep in their tents early under the snowstorm, so how could they have thought that there would be a robbery camp?
Although he tried not to fall in love with the battle, the success of the camp lies in causing chaos or even collapse of the other party first, so when Sima Dan rushed into the enemy camp and encountered the first bonfire, he used a knife to pick up the wood with the fire to the camp tent one by one.
At this time, the Jin soldiers behind him were already like wolves and tigers, roaring into the enemy camp.
I don't know how many tents were washed down, the Huns were trapped under the tents, and some of them could not avoid the iron arrows or sabers of the knights who rushed from behind, and the shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons covered the wind like a tide. Dark shadows blanched in the firelight.
Sima Dan kept shouting: "Follow me!" Follow me! In the blink of an eye, he had knocked over many tents, but he had found no sheep pens or forage.
If he rushes in and kills a few people and rushes away, he will do almost no damage to the enemy, so he must find the enemy's food and grass.
A scout appeared in time: "Report, the enemy's sheep pen is in the northeast. ”
The Jin soldiers cheered, and swept to the northeast like a whirlwind, pulling torches on the way, at this time, the tents in this area have been lit, and the Rouran soldiers who dared to resist under the iron crossbows either fell to the ground horizontally, or were entangled in flames in the tents, and the more than 1,000 horsemen had torn a huge gap in the Hun camp.
At this time, the horse team had already spread out from the stormtrooper's fan-shape, and in the face of a chaotic enemy, such a formation could cause the greatest lethality.
But the Jin soldiers did not kill excessively, Sima Dan ordered everyone to lift torches and break forward, sure enough, only a short way, then saw a row of wooden fences in front of them, covered with tents to block the wind and snow, behind the wooden fences, there were at least several square sheep, and the forage for feeding sheep and horses was indeed on the other side.
In the ice and snow, it is obviously not enough to let the horses and sheep dig up the snow by themselves to forage, so the slaves of the Huns will try to collect forage, if these forages are eliminated, it will be a disaster for horses and sheep, so in addition to killing sheep, it is also very effective to kill forage.
Sima Dan gave an order, a group of Jin soldiers jumped off their horses and rushed to the sheep pen, at this time, the guards of the sheep pen had already raised their weapons and formed a line of defense, but the Jin soldiers had already prepared, and the throwing guns in their hands flew out under an order.
The power of the spear was far above the iron crossbow, and the shields of many Huns could not be blocked at all, so a whole row of Hun defense line was defeated six or seven out of ten, and the remaining Huns shouted, turned around and ran.
The Jin soldiers rushed to the sheep pen like a tiger, and the sheep had already been frightened by the turmoil in the barracks, and the cry shook the sky, and the Jin soldiers quickly knocked down the wooden pillars supporting the tent and trapped the sheep underneath.
The sheep pen was so large that it took a while for the Jin soldiers to tear down all the tents, and the cries of the sheep became even more terrible, as if they knew that the end was coming.
But at this time, a sudden rain of arrows arrived, and in a blink of an eye, a group of Jin soldiers were shot down, Sima Dan saw that the reinforcements of the Huns not far away had formed a big black shadow, rolling towards this side, and hurriedly shouted: "Shenjia soldiers, follow me!" ”
The Divine Armor Soldiers are the only group in the Jin Soldiers camp that is now in formation, and they are just in time to charge.
Before Sima Dan's horse ran like the wind through the phalanx of the Divine Armor soldiers, he waved his saber on his horse, shouting and rushing towards the enemy's reinforcements.
Wherever he passed, the armor soldiers pulled their horses' heads one after another, chased after him, and rushed towards the enemy with their long lances in their hands.
It is difficult to charge in formation less than a stone's throw away, but the bravery of the Shenjia soldiers is worthy of the name, and when the two sides are connected, the angry Hun reinforcements scream angrily and scream miserably, and the Shenjia soldiers are dismounted.
Hedging quickly became a scuffle.
Sima Dan suddenly found that the lance in the hand of the armor soldier turned out to be a real lance instead of an ordinary gun, this kind of lance is also known as the "Zhangba snake spear", the head of the spear does not lose the sword, the lance body is harder than iron, but with a novel elastic force like a snake, so that it can exert the huge power that other long weapons can not emit, in the Han Dynasty, only since the young gun, the general from a famous family can exert its power.
But every warrior of the Divine Armor Soldier exerts the power of a general.
The spear head of the lance turned into a snowflake under their dance, and the lance body writhed like a snake body, and the Hun weapon touched, the elastic force implied by the inertia of the lance body was cumulatively added, and the user then used the force to shake the opponent off the horse as a common thing.
Sima Dan's hands are extremely itchy, he has been practicing the "Ma Family Gun" since he was a child, but Zhuge Sheng can only find a wooden gun with similar elasticity for him to practice, and if the wooden gun is taken into battle, it is easy to cut it with a knife.
But Sima Dan is not a vegetarian, and his saber also chopped several enemies, but he accidentally hit the enemy in the chaos, and the whole person fell to the ground on the horse.
At this time, Sima Dan's strangulation between the two sides has become the center of the battlefield, and the Shenjia soldiers have blocked the reinforcements in front of the Xiongnu, and the rest of the Jin soldiers have knocked down all the tents of the sheep pen, and threw the forage into the sheep pen, and ignited the fire at the same time.
The Jin soldiers who had slowed down were also quickly assembled under the command of Cao Lie, and were preparing to charge to support the Shenjia soldiers, but at this time, another group of Xiongnu attacked from the left and right, and the Jin soldiers could only hurriedly meet the volley, because the most important ignition work was unfolding.
At the last moment, Sima Dan knew that the army would be encircled in a few breaths, but he had to watch the fire form a piece until it could not be extinguished before retreating, otherwise tonight's sacrifice would be wasted.
The snow became heavier and the wind blew more and more wildly, but it could not hide the earth-shattering sound of killing and the clashing of weapons on the grassland, mixed with the crying and howling of the lambs.
******
Sima Dan, who fell under the horse, saw a completely different scene than he saw on the horse.
The dark shadows all around, all the figures of the Huns, the armor soldiers that can still be seen on the horse seem to have disappeared on the ground, and after he fell off the horse, he was surrounded by enemies.
Sima Dan roared angrily, threw the horse shield away, and knocked down a Hun.
But the tall Huns had already surrounded him like a human wall, Sima Dan held the saber in both hands, and suddenly with a step, the saber slashed forward from top to bottom.
The scimitar in the enemy's hand went upward, but this one was destined to be broken, Sima Dan shouted and dragged a knife from the bottom to the right, swinging away another enemy, not avoiding the oncoming blood rain, and dodged outside the encirclement.
But Sima Dan did not stay away from the encirclement, he chose to stand behind the right of an enemy, the enemy turned sharply, and several large knives slashed at the same time, but Sima Dan's flexible footwork made him not stay in front of anyone, he slid away like a swimming fish, and slashed out on the side.
He stabbed an enemy in the back, and when he dodged, he dragged his knife and slashed another person's thigh, and when he stepped back, he dodged the front of another enemy, and the long knife swung the spears on both sides, and then rushed to the side and slashed the enemy on the right.
One rolled and split the other two enemies who roared, blood and snow stood all over his body, the enemy swept him down with the knife and took a step back in fright, Sima Dan stood up again, still holding the knife in both hands, the tip of the knife towards the enemy.
"Be careful!" A woman's voice was heard in the distance.
The two Huns who attacked from behind fell into Sima Dan's trap, he turned around and slashed, not only avoiding the sprint, but also splitting an enemy from the right shoulder, and at the same time catching up with a step, a fake split to lure away the enemy's weapon, and then straight into the middle palace, stabbing into the opponent's heart.
Such a massacre finally frightened away the Huns in front of him, but there was another exclamation from behind, and "Chen Yun", who had just reminded him, shouted loudly.
Yan Hou's guards finally broke up in the melee, and one of the guards beside him stabbed off his horse, and Chen Yun also knocked him off his horse for this wave of charge.
In the blink of an eye, the shape is different, the Huns who are eager to protect the grain and grass are surging in, although the armor soldiers are brave, but there are too many people coming, and more than ten people have been rushed off their horses for a while, fortunately, their armor is particularly strong, and it is not easy to kill them completely.
Seeing Chen Yun turn over and fall, Sima Dan was startled, and rushed forward to save him without thinking about it.
I don't know why the Xiongnu are more interested in the divine armor soldiers, and the crowd has flooded Chen Yun.
At this time, Sima Dan had woken up from the almost instinctive slashing just now, it was the sudden exertion of the knife technique that Zhuge Sheng asked him to practice thousands of times a day, at this time, his wrists were particularly painful, and the blood vessels in his arms were suddenly jumping, still congested, and it was obvious that he was still inexperienced.
Now when he rushed towards the other group of Huns, he was finally able to follow the mental method taught by his master and pay attention to the trajectory of his opponent's weapons in his heart, so he lightly flashed two large knives, the tip of which pierced into the left eye of one of them, and stabbed obliquely into the armpit of the other.
This has become the bloodiest place in the battlefield, Sima Dan's knife is like flowing water, he relied on the flexibility of his footwork and unpredictable knife skills, after killing five or six people, he bullied Chen Yun's side, at this time, Chen Yun's hair was scattered, his body was also full of blood, the lance had already been knocked to the ground, and there was only a three-foot sword left in his hand.
The two were back to back in the ferocious Huns, feeling each other's warmth.
Yan Hou said: "Good knife technique!"
Sima Dan didn't know why he repeated his master's words: "Knives are used in foot combat, and spears are used in horse warfare." ”
Yan Hou chuckled.
