Chapter 508: Fighting in the Dark
In the dark, the 30,000 troops silently marched towards the northeast, between the Jin army camp and the thistle, only the uneven sound of the wheel, and the horn and shouting from the two camps on the left and right of the thistle.
If there is a bright light at this time, you can see that the array of the Jin army in front of it is gradually changing, and the west side, that is, the side that leans on the camp of the Ji and Yan armies, is elongating, like an inverted L-shaped shape lying down.
On the north and west sides of the entire inverted L-shape, the first row is ordinary chariots, the second row is ballista-type ballistas, and the third row is throwing ballistas, mixed with crossbowmen and throwing archers, of which there are 300 L-heads and only 200 L-bodies, obviously attacking the Goguryeo camp is not the main goal, the main goal is to intercept the possible support of the Yan State.
To tell the truth, Wei Feng's formation is more risky, lacking cavalry guards, but the other party can't see the layout of his own army clearly in the dark, and now it is pitch black from the city to the battlefield, and the two sides fight black with black, obviously, because the Yan side was brightly lit before, so that Wei Feng took the lead, even if the other party wanted to change the layout in the camp, but the time was urgent, even if the change was limited.
This is where Weifeng relies on!
As the army formation marched more and more to the northeast, the Yan army finally discerned the direction of the attack, Feng Ba sneered: "Sure enough, it is heading for Gao Tande, and the order is to let General Guo get ready, be careful of the Jin army to intercept!" ”
"Yes!" The two relatives left in a hurry.
After Guo Sheng received the order, he cast his eyes into the darkness in the east, and now he was extremely entangled, according to his original intention. It is to immediately assault with light cavalry, in his opinion, the Jin army cannot be so quickly set up in formation, if you talk about morality and knowledge, cooperate with the village to meet the attack, then, or there is a little possibility of victory, but the problem is that the eyes are black, and even the distribution of the Jin army's troops is not clear. It's like a blind man touching an elephant.
Such a battle. It is the first time in Guo Sheng's history that he knows himself, but he does not know him, which is almost synonymous with failure. It's just that he also understands that Goguryeo has to be saved. How to save it. There must be something to be paid attention to, he is worried that he will be a substitute for Goguryeo if he is not careful!
"Hey~~" sighed helplessly, Guo Sheng gave up his plan to send troops immediately. Adopting a conservative strategy and letting the two sides fight for a while, in fact, in the final analysis, the two armies still lack mutual trust!
"You're a!" Gao Tande also realized that the Jin army was attacking him, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Seeing that you are lonely and bullying, the persimmon picks up the soft pinch, right?" Where did Lao Tzu Goguryeo recruit you and provoke you? Well, here you go! Waiting for you! ”
As the saying goes, the clay man still has three points of fire, at this time Gao Tande was furious, his voice was full of grief and indignation, Gao Wu looked carefully outside the village, because the distance was getting closer, it was indeed possible to vaguely see a large blurred black shadow appeared in the sight, so he quickly asked: "King Tai, the Jin army is getting closer and closer, do you want to organize troops to go out of the village to fight?" ”
"it!" Gao Tande roared with hatred: "With the whole army sticking to the camp, I don't believe that Feng Ba dares to sit back and watch Gu be broken by the Jin army, see if he comes to help!" ”
As soon as these words fell, "Buzz~~" A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, obviously the Jin army launched an attack, although it could not be seen, but there were dense screams in front of the formation, and his face changed greatly when he talked about virtue!
He suddenly guessed the tactics of the Jin army, that is, there was no need to see it at all, the whole army opened the way with stone bullets and crossbow arrows, and used steady and steady fighting, pressing on it in a flat way, mainly destroying the camp, and killing and injuring the living force secondary!
Although the 20,000 troops in front of the wall have retreated to the rear of the wall, if they blindly defend it, sooner or later the other party will be allowed to attack the camp, and it will be all over.
You must know that there are strategic reserves such as materials, grain and grass, arrows and arrows in the camp, Gao Tande and Feng Bao are not the same, most of Feng Ba's materials are stored in the city, and Gao Tanbei is out of vigilance and does not want his lifeline to be mastered by the Yan people, so his materials are all placed in the depths of the camp.
Gao Tande shuddered, the camp was gone, what was the use of his 40,000 army even if it was still there? No food, no arrows, is rootless grass, wait until dawn, do not wait for the Jin army to cavalry to attack when they have to break up and flee, even if the Yan people come to help, it is useless, in short, even if there are many dead people, the camp must not be lost!
"What a villain!" Gao Tande scolded angrily and shouted urgently: "Order, concentrate on the front to charge, and destroy the trebuchet of the Jin people no matter what!" ”
Gao Tande's voice was very loud, and it reached the Jin army array, and Xian Enzhuo couldn't help but chuckle: "Earth leopard, this is obviously called a ballista, okay?" Also trebuchet? Gao Tande's insight is really pitiful! ”
Xu Daofu felt something, and couldn't help asking: "General Xian, I heard that the ballista was designed by the general, but?" ”
Xian Enzhuo nodded and said: "I don't know exactly how Enzhuo is, but I heard that it was built by craftsmen during the general's tenure in Guangzhou, and the steel arrows used in the army were also melted and cast by the general." ”
"The general is really a strange man!" Xu Daofu praised it from the bottom of his heart, and he was extremely glad that he had returned to Wei Feng in time, otherwise what was waiting for him and Lu Xun would definitely be a point of no return!
"Kill!" There was a sudden explosion of shouting and killing in front of him, and faintly, he could see the Goguryeo soldiers rushing forward in groups. ”
Although the Goguryeo people could not determine the arrangement of the Jin army, they still pounced like moths to a fire, and before long, a layer of thick corpses had accumulated on the ground.
Gao Tande shouted repeatedly, like a mad demon, commanding the sergeant to press on, and Guo Sheng was always paying attention to the movement in the east.
A subordinate general stepped forward and persuaded: "General Guo, the war between the two sides has started, I'm afraid that Gao Tande won't last long, do you want to support it quickly?" ”
Guo Sheng groaned slightly, and then said: "Don't be busy, wait a minute, Gao Tande has not done his best, this is not the time to attack!" ”
As the commander of the first army, as Wei Feng said, be cautious, any mistake in judgment will lead to a fatal defeat, and there has been no movement in the Jin army's formation, indicating that the formation is not chaotic, so Guo Sheng does not dare to act rashly!
Time passed slowly, and according to estimates, at least two or three thousand Goguryeo people had been killed, but the Yan army still did not show any signs of coming to help, Xian Enzhuo frowned, and asked, "General Xu, will Feng Bao not have the intention of rescuing Gao Tande at all?" Do you want to press forward on the front? ”
Xu Dao's eyebrows tightened, although his reputation is not obvious, but even if he is not as smart as Liu Muzhi, at least he will not be worse than Bian Fanzhi next to Huan Xuan, he has this confidence, because any action by Lu Xun is basically based on his opinion, otherwise, Yi Lu Xun's temperament would have died many times.
In Xu Dao's eyes, Feng Ba will save Goguryeo, but why hasn't he come yet? Is the fighting not fierce enough, or is there something else inappropriate?
Xu Dao pondered hard, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, although the Goguryeo people suffered heavy casualties, but there was no movement on his side, it was indeed not intense enough!
"The Yan people are not coming, please General Xian wait for a while, and the Dao Fu will bring them here!" Xu Dao replied, and then called: "Come on, you guys, you all have to scream before you die, whether it's true or not, and make the sound of being hit by a heavy object!" ”
"Yes!" The generals have been ordered!
Xian Enzhuo also showed a sudden realization, and looked at Xu Daofu with admiration.
"Ahh Yes! Bang! Bang! "The Jin army suddenly sounded a scream, terrible and long, and the sound of heavy objects crashing, in order to be realistic, some people chopped up the wood, making a chopping sound, and some people even screamed and fell to the ground with a thud, as if they were really killed.
This voice was mixed with the screams of the Goguryeo army and spread in all directions, and if you listen carefully, you can detect the difference in distance, "Good! Gao Tande was the first to distinguish, and with a fierce fist blow, he said excitedly: "Finally rushed in, ordered, the whole army tried to impact the place where the screams came, if you can break the Jin army, you will be rewarded!" ”
The order was quickly conveyed to the front of the formation, in fact, the forward soldiers couldn't figure out where the screams came from, the Jin army position in their eyes was hazy and terrifying, without the slightest chaos, but they had no right to speak, only the obligation to obey the order!
Guo Sheng also recognized the difference in the distance of the screams, and knew that the fighter plane was fleeting, so he waved his hand violently: "Soldiers, follow the general to attack!" ”
The rumbling hooves suddenly exploded, and the 20,000 Yan troops formed an untight straggler line towards the front of the Goguryeo army's position, which was no way, the key was that the enemy situation was unknown, in the dark, if it was arranged into a tight arrow formation or fish scale formation, once it was ambushed, it would bring huge casualties due to mutual friction, and even the rout of the whole army was not impossible!
However, the stragglers were far apart from each other, and even if there was a partial setback, it would be difficult to spread to the whole army.
For the cavalry charge, the L-headed defenders did not dare to have any ambiguity, it was impossible to wait for the black shadow to appear in the line of sight, and could only judge the distance by the sound of hooves!
"Stone Bullet!"
The commander burst into shouts, and the command quickly spread to both sides, and stone bullets spilled out from the sky, and there was no trace in the sky except for the palpitating sound of breaking the air.
A faint neighing of people came, making the soldiers feel that the Yan army had already appeared within the range of the attack.
"Giant Arrow!"
With this order, the three hundred giant arrows did not care whether there was an enemy in front of them, roaring and rushing away, as long as the giant arrows hit the flat shot, it was often a string of shots, and there was a continuous rumbling sound in front of them, it was obvious that the horses were killed by the giant arrows!
But whether it is a giant arrow or a stone bullet, it is a strong attack weapon in itself, and it can only be used for point attacks, the real defensive backbone, or a divine arm crossbow!
"Crossbow bolts!" When a dark shadow appeared in his sight, the Commander burst into cheers again!
In an instant, the raindrops of steel arrows shot out, and the screams were obviously dense!
When the black shadow became clearer and clearer, and it was already possible to judge that it was within a hundred steps, "Shoot the arrow!" With this command, the archers threw arrows into the sky! (To be continued......)
