Chapter 248 Ambush Troops Break Donghu (I)
In ten days, almost all of them reached the limit of patience at this moment, and the traps had already been laid in the border gates to meet the opponent's challenge, and then the outbreak was bound to be a more violent counterattack, and the periphery was ready to attack and believe that force could solve the Donghu army.
Ten days, the same body to bear the maximum hunger, regardless of whether the Zhao army is still there, this battle will undoubtedly win, the confidence of the king of Donghu doubled, an order, the Donghu army was drawn out, the soldiers were divided into three ways, the elite 50,000 in the middle attacked the middle camp of the Zhao army, 20,000 attacked the upper camp, and the other 20,000 attacked the lower camp.
The horn sounded, someone couldn't wait, the legs were clamped and rushed out first, the cavalry started one after another, and the horses galloped, such a grand scene seemed to be only seen on the grassland, the three-way cavalry rushed inward like a tide, and was close enough to the opponent's city fortress, which was within the range of the opponent's crossbow, once the cavalry rushed in and wanted to stop it, it must be more difficult, the front army bent down, legs slightly bent, always ready, once the arrow from above can be quickly dealt with.
Quiet, never quiet, so quiet that people can't adapt to it, a person can't help but look up, it's close enough, just a few breaths can rush into the border city on both sides, there is a place that is difficult to defend by the destruction of the Yan army, inhale, the sound of horses' hooves, you can feel your heartbeat, I don't know if it's excitement or nervousness, it's obviously much faster, exhale, the body is close, and the war horse raises its hooves and jumps in quickly.
There was no movement above the border city, if it weren't for the fluttering of the banner of Zhao above, the entire Zhao army border city would be an empty city.
"Zhao Kuo, kill my beloved son, cut off my hope, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't kill you." King Donghu saw the army rushing in, Zhao Jun did not react at all, his eyes widened, thinking of the pain of losing his son, if Zhao Jun fled, he would definitely not stop, it would take a few days to reach the Yan Kingdom City from here, and he was fully capable of catching up.
The Donghu cavalry entered, there was an empty space in front of them, the front army camp was withdrawn one after another, the book was secretly expressed, most of them were burned, and finally they were thrown into the fire by the soldiers, and the rear revealed the Zhao army camp tent, the camp tent was staggered, and there was no soldier in it.
"Kill!"
The shouting and killing were everywhere, the Donghu cavalry roared in unison and galloped forward, the neighing of the war horses was endless, and everyone raised their weapons in their hands in the shouting and killing, which was a kind of show-off, the victor should show off, everyone almost believed that the Zhao army had fled, only the timid people would choose to flee, and the warriors on the grassland would only die on the way to kill.
Something happens.
The cavalry camp that rushed to the front fell to the ground, the horse's hooves suddenly sank downward, and the war horse fell, everyone's attention was on the front, and they didn't pay attention to the feet at all, the horse pits were staggered with each other, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the weeds on it, the war horse fell, the forward momentum was still there, and the cavalry rolled and fell down on the horse, and the entire front army camp suffered almost the same fate.
"Phew!"
The rear camp stopped one after another, with a look of disbelief on their faces, most of them did not understand what was happening, and the cavalry of the front army fell to the ground one after another, and the cavalry fell from their horses, and the light cavalry was seriously injured, and the serious ones were directly killed.
"I'm afraid there are ghosts."
"Fart, where did the ghost come from, it's just that the Zhao people are playing tricks."
"Where did the Zhao people come from!"
In the entire camp except for the Donghu people, there are only those empty camp tents, no one, why would anyone die, and the one who died was not a person.
The rear cavalry stopped one after another, and the white with blood on the ground attracted the attention of the cavalry, and one person flew off his horse and bent down to check, his eyes fell on the legs of the fallen war horse on the side, and his hand quickly swept away the weeds on it, and finally saw that the ground was full of holes, and the holes were not too deep, even so it still became a nightmare for relying on war horses to impact the Donghu cavalry.
"Zhao Jun dug a lot of pits in the ground, that's why it's like this, it's not a ghost!"
"How to deal with it."
"This is simple, slow down, even if you accidentally fall into it, the damage is also limited, Zhao Ren just wants to delay us with this, it's really funny."
"Slow down and march carefully!"
Riding has always been the most proud skill of the Donghu cavalry, some people jumped forward again and again, the war horse landed steadily, launched again, the smile on the face quickly disappeared, the war horse suddenly shortened, had to hold on to both hands, so as not to throw out directly, the rear cavalry followed the team slowly forward.
"Kill!"
The speed of the other party slowed down, the distance was close enough, and the infantry camp of the Zhao State hidden behind the camp tent quickly killed, and the speed was amazing, in comparison, the cavalry speed was obviously insufficient, and the infantry speed was superior, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would definitely not believe that this was the truth.
"There are ambushes!"
"Don't panic, kill as many as you want."
The cavalry in front launched again, the war horse lost its speed and completely lost its effect, the infantry of the Zhao army was getting closer and closer, the threat of death forced the other party to speed up, the screams were bursting, from time to time someone fell in, I couldn't care about so much at all, the rest was the majority after all, the eyes showed fanaticism, the desire to fight instantly broke out in the bottom of my heart, and the belligerence in the blood was the most terrible, and even brought the entire tribe into the abyss of no return, and finally went to destruction.
The figure of the infantry holding a spear in front of him suddenly fell, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight out, and immediately the cavalry finally saw clearly, there were countless archers hidden behind the infantry, this was the real purpose of the Zhao people, his eyes widened, the distance was quickly shortened, and at that moment he could even clearly see the other party pulling the trigger finger, and there was a straight line of black arrows.
There is no way to avoid it, the speed of the crossbow arrows is too fast, most of the Donghu front army was killed and injured in an instant, only a few bodies went to the side of the war horse to avoid the arrows, and after many years of hard training and horsemanship, it finally came into play, but unfortunately the strength could not bring good luck in the end, and the infantry of the Zhao army with spears was close at hand, and suddenly jumped up, rushing out like a cheetah, and the spears pierced into the opponent's body.
In the first battle, the Zhao army won a complete victory, with almost no casualties, and the infantry quickly retreated, and the camp tent in front once again obscured everyone's figures.
"There's an ambush!"
"How many are there?"
The man shook his head, "The speed of the shot is too fast, I can't see it clearly." ”
"How is it possible, what about the casualties of the front army?"
The man hesitated, and the clan leader's eyes widened, "Speak quickly." ”
"Annihilation."
"Waste, it's all waste."
The tribal leader was furious and took on the heavy responsibility of attacking the camp, it was the time when the tribe took the opportunity to show its strength, as long as it could win a big victory this time, the prestige of the tribe on the grassland would inevitably be greatly improved, and the prestige was particularly important, and most of the scattered tribes would be attached to the prestige and strength of the tribe.
"Zhao Jun has already dealt with it, so he will suffer."
The person beside him let out a sneer, "The patriarch must not be reckless, if he can't change my clan." ”
"It's not bothering, it's just a few thousand people." The mouth is strong, the heart is dripping blood, there are no less than ten tribes on the grassland, and the number of small tribes is not more than 1,000, if you want to survive, you have to rely on the big tribes, choose to marry and give gifts, etc., the number of large tribes does not exceed 100,000, except for the old and weak women and children, the ability to mobilize troops is also limited.
"In this way, I want to congratulate the patriarch here for conquering the Zhao camp!"
"Don't talk cool here, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
"Always by side."
There is a feud between the two tribes, and cooperation on the battlefield is crucial, and it is impossible to unify the commands, and no matter how large the number of people is, it will not be able to exert its power.
"Strike again, attack with a fire crossbow and then attack."
"Yes!"
The cavalry struck again, and with the previous experience, the potholes in the ground were also much reduced, and the camp came to a halt.
"Fire crossbow kills!"
With an order, the bows and arrows behind him were unloaded one after another, and the Zhao army camp raised their shields above their heads almost at the same time, and a black cloud instantly rose behind the camp tent to completely envelop the camp.
"Shoot!"
The sky was full of rockets, and they landed on the tent and ignited instantly, and there was a crackling sound above the shield, and the shield in his hand was made of bronze and was not afraid of fire, and the arrow hit it and made a sound and fell downward.
The fire in the camp of the Zhao army spread rapidly, the smoke was billowing out, and the smoke was choking so badly that the soldiers had to cover their noses to prevent themselves from making any sound.
"It's really strange that all of a sudden there are no people."
"It should still be there, I don't believe that you are copper and iron, even if you do, I will burn you to death."
"Shoot again!"
The arrows were launched repeatedly, and there was still no movement in the Zhao army camp, only to appear a large number of Zhao troops disappeared as if the world had disappeared, and finally saw clearly under the cover of the fire, holding the shield Zhao Jun only exposed the shield, and the body disappeared completely, not mistaken, not even an illusion, of course, more ghosts, the front camp was slightly higher, and the rear camp was relatively low, so he simply ordered the soldiers to dig the fortifications, and a little bulge rose in front, plus the camp tent was blocked, and he hid below as if he had disappeared.
After two rounds of arrows, the cavalry moved forward again, below were the corpses of dead comrades, and the broken legs of the horses kept rolling and neighing war horses, the most frightening thing was precisely the elusive Zhao Jun, and the bravery in his heart was a little more fearful at this moment.
The speed was lost, the Donghu cavalry completely lost its power, the fire in the camp spread, gradually approaching the ambush camp, a wave of heat approached, the shield in his hand became hot, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted, or not attack, once they attacked, they must go all out, and did not give the opponent the slightest chance to fight back.
"It's coming!"
A person poked his head out, he could see clearly in the firelight, all the cavalry, the black pressure pressed a piece, the crotch of the war horse fat and strong body made people look greedy, the cavalry was amazingly powerful, it can be called the overlord of the cold weapon era, why not build a large number of cavalry, the most critical point is the war horse, the countries are mostly farming, years of war and natural disasters, the land produces food is barely enough for people to eat, coupled with the lack of experience in the domestication of war horses, war horses have become extremely precious.
"There are so many treasures, but this time it's developed."
"General, enough to build another cavalry battalion."
"I've been aiming at Lao Tzu for a while, who dares to shoot Lao Tzu's baby, be careful that you're not done with him."
"Don't worry, keep shooting only people, not horses."
"Kill!"
The soldiers in front jumped out suddenly, the spears hit the shields one after another, the approaching horses raised their hooves and neighed, and the cavalry had to force their bodies downward, and there was no time to respond, the arrows and crossbows in the rear were already in front of them, and with the black submerged, a life was over.
