Qin Dong had already known the news that the Germanic army had come to the Western Roman Empire to reinforce the army outside the southern city wall, and after learning the news, he immediately sent a herald to Pana to convey the order to attack Mu Ren, the commander of the Second Route Army, who had been waiting for many days, and Hall in the coalition army camp under the city did not know that his lair was about to be attacked by Mu Ren.

On the afternoon of the arrival of Homsis and his troops, Qin Dong was convening the officers to discuss the matter, when an observer from the city wall came in and reported: "General, the Germanic army outside the city and the Western Roman army that have just arrived seem to be cutting wood, they are making siege ladders!" ”

"Keep exploring! Report the situation at any time," Qin Dong waved his hand to let the observer retreat.

"Yes, General!"

Qin Dong looked at the officers and said with a smile: "It seems that the Western Roman Empire didn't expect us to capture Lazlog so quickly, so there were no siege troops accompanying us when we came, they could only build some ladders on the spot, which is very beneficial for us to defend the city!" ”

Duoyin stood up and saluted and said: "General, the army of Western Rome is different from the three Germanic armies, they are very familiar with all forms of warfare, and they also have a lot of experience, siege warfare is too familiar to them, please be sure to guard against them, don't be careless!" ”

Qin Dong nodded, and said: "Today, the Western Roman army has just arrived, I want to give them a dismount first, I didn't attack them at night when the three Germanic Manchester forces came, we haven't moved for a few days, I think they must think that we won't do a sneak attack, and they will definitely relax their vigilance, so tonight is a great opportunity for a sneak attack!" ”

Polyphonic and urgent. Hurriedly stood up to stop: "General, no!" This is against the etiquette of war, and it is forbidden to engage in such a trick as a sneak attack during the war between the two sides. If you want to fight, you have to face to face, and you can do it with a knife and a gun, and only in this way will defeat the other party convince the other party! ”

Qin Dong looked at Duoyin and didn't speak for a few minutes, everyone else was worried about Duoyin, worried that Qin Dong would blame Duoyin for this, but Qin Dong didn't do it. He laughed: "Hahaha, Duoyin, who stipulated that during the war, you can only face to face and not sneak attack?" You sue me. Who prescribes it? ”

Duoyin looked at Qin Dong in disbelief, and then said, "General, I don't know who stipulated it, I only know that since there has been civilization." It's all an unwritten rule. If you defeat the other party by sneak attack, others will not be convinced."

"You're wrong, Duoyin!" Qin Dong said: "You are a general, a soldier, you should know that war is your life-and-death brutality, once one side is defeated, then the soldiers and officers on this side are either slaughtered or captured, and then become slaves." The people on this side will also suffer disasters, which is a matter of life and death for the entire country. How can an unwritten rule give up what seems to be a vile but is actually very effective means? War is not a matter of a few of you and me, for ourselves, for our people, only to do everything to achieve victory is the most important, if because of sympathy for other people's people and soldiers, you might as well sympathize with your own people and soldiers first, a qualified general, you must try your best to bring your own soldiers back alive on the battlefield, and achieve victory! ”

The big tent was silent for a while, all the officers were thinking about Qin Dong's words, these words touched them a lot, Liu San and Wang Liu and other officers who followed Qin Dong at the earliest, they didn't care whether the means of sneak attack were despicable or not, but these Western Romans such as Duoyin were different, they had long adapted to the original rules of war, for example, in ancient China, there was a tradition of hanging the exemption card during the war, and during the period of hanging the exemption card, the other party could not attack.

Qin Dong's words stimulated them too much, which completely broke their inherent thinking, but after thinking about it carefully, they had to admit that what Qin Dong said was right, after all, war is to serve the interests of the people, and they are also one of these people.

Qin Dong saw that everyone didn't speak, but the expressions on his face were extremely colorful, he immediately didn't allow them to hesitate any longer, and said arbitrarily: "It's so decided, tonight I will lead my three hundred escort cavalry to attack the coalition camp at night, and give them a little bit of power, lest they look down on themselves and look down on us, and we have to kill and injure them as much as possible, only in this way can we be more relaxed when defending the city!" ”

Among these officers here, those who want to replace Qin Dong to lead the army in battle cannot be stopped, because there are no senior officers here who are familiar with cavalry tactics, and the others are either not qualified enough, their positions are too low, and those with high positions can only command infantry, but they have not commanded cavalry, only Qin Dong is the most suitable.

The matter was thus decided, and then Qin Dong began to prepare for the night attack operation, these three hundred escort cavalry have been following him, he has long been familiar with this cavalry, he is no longer familiar with it, there are no communication and command obstacles.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the night attack, Qin Dong decided not to go out through the south gate, but to take the Silver Pine Ridge, it is not easy to go up the mountain, because there is an army stationed on the mountain, but it is not very difficult to go down the mountain, taking advantage of the fact that Homsis's army has just arrived today, the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, and the raid from the Silver Pine Ridge is the best time, he is not ready to use Tolon's three hundred archers and two hundred light cavalry, but to do it himself.

It had just rained heavily, the weather was cold, the cold wind was howling, it seemed that there was going to be heavy snow, it was dark in the middle of the night, Qin Dong led three hundred escort cavalry from Yinsong Village secretly, carefully went down the mountain, and was not discovered by the coalition forces.

In order to achieve the purpose of the raid, Qin Dong ordered people to make horses along the way, wrap the horses' hooves to prevent the horses from making the slightest sound, Odoase and the others were not arrogant enough not to arrange patrol cavalry near the camp, but these people were secretly killed by Qin Dong, Qin Dong led the men and horses all the way to approach within 300 meters of the coalition camp without hindrance.

Qin Dong reined in the reins, clenched his fists and raised his hands to signal the cavalry behind him to stop advancing, and then issued an order: "The archers cast rockets, set fire to the enemy's camp and grain and grass hoards, and then shoot the fleeing enemy troops on the periphery, and the light cavalry team will follow me to take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy camp, and when I lead the light cavalry to kill two back and forth, the archers will cover our withdrawal on the periphery, and retreat to the city gate together, and set off!" ”

After the order was issued, the captain of the guard personally led the archers to gallop to the enemy camp, and around the enemy camp wall to shoot rockets, the escort cavalry team originally only had three hundred people, one hundred archers, one hundred light horses, one hundred infantry, and later expanded to six hundred, two people per class, this time Qin Dong went out to bring three hundred, including one hundred archers and two hundred light horses.

A large number of horses' hooves alarmed the coalition soldiers guarding the camp, but before they could react, several sharp arrows shot through their bodies, after shooting the sentry, the archers roared, the soldiers galloped on horseback while igniting rockets with fire folds, a large number of rockets were fired into the camp, the rockets fell on the tents and wood and immediately caused a fire, the tent and the wall immediately burned, Batu led the archers to run along the wall of the coalition camp, after finding the weak point of the wall, Several cavalrymen threw out the stakes of the wall, and they pulled them in the opposite direction, and after a few times, they pulled down a large part of the wall, and Batu immediately rushed into the coalition camp with the archers.

At this time, many soldiers of the coalition army already knew that something big had happened, and Odoaser and others also knew that there was an enemy sneak attack, but as Batu rushed into the camp with archers and cavalry to shoot rockets everywhere, the whole camp was in turmoil, and the soldiers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and soon the grain and grass warehouse was also set on fire, which completely destroyed the confidence of the coalition army to resist, you must know that no matter what era, grain and grass are the top priority of the army, without grain and grass, the military spirit will be lost.

Qin Dong saw the fire burning in the grain and grass warehouse outside, and immediately drew his knife and shouted: "Warriors, it's time for you to show your bravery, kill with me!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Two hundred light cavalry drew their swords and shouted and rushed into the coalition camp.

The Germanic soldiers were usually untrained and basically undisciplined, the camp was in chaos, the Germanic soldiers were basically in complete chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective resistance, Odoaser very simply fled on horseback under the protection of the close guards, and the same was true for Hall and Mondy, in this case of bombing the camp, staying in the camp was purely looking for death, they were very experienced in this, and they might have encountered such things before.

The captain of the Homsis wing of the Western Roman Empire, dressed in armor and armed with a big sword, rushed out of the camp and shouted: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone obey my command, line up in an infantry phalanx, shields and short swordsmen in front, spearmen and archers in the back!" ”

Homsis this guy still has a bit of ability, he actually let him gather a group of people around him in a very short period of time, these people formed an infantry phalanx under his command, surrounded by a square defensive formation, and retreated to the south of the battalion step by step, he knew that although his infantry phalanx was very powerful, but the other side was cavalry, and the terrain here was open, which was conducive to cavalry rushing back and forth, and his infantry phalanx could not catch up with others at all, what else to fight? The top priority is to form a phalanx to protect yourself and escape, and wait until you reach a safe place.

Qin Dong took two hundred light horsemen all the way back and forth to kill, killed several back and forth, saw a large group of Western Roman troops retreating south in a phalanx, and ignored it, now is not the time to gnaw on the turtle shell, or try to kill and wound those small groups of enemy troops and lone soldiers as well, has been killing for more than an hour, Qin Dong only reined in the horse to collect the troops to capture the prisoners, after a count, a total of more than 1,000 people were caught, most of them were Germanic farmers and hunters, a small number of Roman soldiers and Germanic soldiers.
