Chapter 106: The Confusion of Fireworks
***
Qin Mu led a large army to watch on the periphery, waiting for the opportunity. In the first half of the night, when Su Jin came to harass, the enemy camp was brightly lit, and as soon as Su Jin stopped for a while, the enemy camp became completely unlit, this abnormal situation made Qin Mu become cautious, and sending Cui Feng to attack the southern camp could be said to be a tentative behavior.
Sure enough, as soon as Cui Feng's men and horses approached Nanying, they were ambushed, and the sneak attack had actually turned into a strong attack.
Cui Feng, a good one, responded in time, and simply let the three hundred men scatter, and quickly rushed to the enemy wall under the cover of night.
After paying more than 20 casualties, the humble walled gate was blown up, Cui Feng took the lead in rushing into the enemy camp, swinging a knife and slashing, he was as fierce as a tiger, roaring like thunder, and cutting down several rebels who were blocking the road to the ground with a single face, unstoppable.
The effect of pine needle water is fully realized at this moment. Most of the rebels suffer from night blindness, and they can't see anything at night when the lights are dark, but Cui Feng can clearly see the silhouette of the rebels' bodies because he often drinks pine needle water.
This is like the two blockers in later generations, one is equipped with a thermal imager, and the other can only be observed with the naked eye, fighting in the night, and the outcome of the victory or defeat will not be much suspense.
After the gate was blown up, the rebels could only hurriedly light the torches, and those rebels holding torches became the most obvious targets. Boom! The sound of the bowstring kept ringing, and Cui Feng's men and horses were like wolves in the night, constantly hunting and killing the rebels who lit the torches, shooting one at a time, scaring many rebels to throw away the torches so as not to become the target of hunting;
In the shadowy night, I saw white silk rushing into the enemy formation, screaming one after another.
Cui Feng had just sacrificed more than 20 of his subordinates, and his heart was full of anger, a steel knife flew like practice, and the blocker was clothed, "Kill!" In the midst of the heavy drinking, his arms were full of strength. Slashed diagonally through the abdomen of a rebel, the rebel was cut into two pieces with a knife, and the upper body was carried by the knife and flew several feet away, knocking another rebel next to him to the ground, and his intestines, liver, and lungs flowed to the ground.
Two spears stabbed at a rapid pace, and Cui Feng's right foot fell, "Whew!" The knife slashed out, cutting off all the two spears that stabbed it, and the two subordinates rushed up in tacit understanding, and slashed off the two heads cleanly with one knife. Occasionally, the light of the fire flickered, but the skull was rolling, blood was flying, and the ground was full of severed limbs and stumps
In the fierce slashing of Cui Feng and others, they suddenly saw a stream of red fireworks rising into the sky, which looked particularly gorgeous in the night sky.
From the sound of killing in the small camp in the south, all the men and horses of Zhang Qi's Chinese army camp had already gotten up to prepare for battle, and the camp was already brightly lit at this moment, and all the rebels were neatly dressed. As soon as he saw the signal of red fireworks rising on the spot, Zhang Qi did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a thousand men and horses to reinforce as agreed.
Qin Mu also saw this string of fireworks, and he sent Ning Yuan to take fifty people to Wanzai to do internal response. The decision was also set to use fireworks as a signal, so when I saw the fireworks in the south camp of the rebels, and at the same time, the rebel battalion quickly sent reinforcements, and immediately counted it in my heart.
He hurriedly commanded the herald, "Go quickly." Let Huo Sheng reinforce Cui Feng, take the enemy camp in the south as soon as possible, and let Liu Meng and Ling Zhan join forces. Immediately launch a strong attack on the small camp to the north, so as to break the camp as soon as possible; In addition, he ordered the two men and horses to launch a feint attack on the two small camps in the east and west respectively, and did not seek to attack the camp, but only rushed to the side of the enemy camp and set off fireworks, and led the rebels of the Chinese army camp out, and went quickly. ”
"Yes, sir."
Qin Mu originally planned to use wolf pack tactics tonight, with Cui Feng, Huo Sheng, Ling Zhan, and Liu Meng each leading 300 men and horses, respectively responsible for attacking the four small camps on the periphery, while he and Meng Ke led 1,000 men and horses to hide on the side, waiting to launch a fatal blow.
After seeing the rebels calling for help with fireworks, he immediately adjusted the battle plan, letting Huo Sheng and Cui Feng join forces to storm the small camp in the south, and Liu Meng and Ling Zhan to storm the small camp in the north, and at the same time use fireworks to direct the rebels' forces to the east and west.
As soon as his order was conveyed, Liu Meng, Huo Sheng, and Ling Zhan also immediately launched a strong attack on the two small rebel camps in the south and north respectively.
Now, although the sneak attack has been turned into a strong attack, one side is exhausted, the other side is recuperating, one side has night blindness, the other side is not, and the strength is superior, even if the rebels have already taken precautions, Qin Attack believes that Liu Meng and they will be able to quickly capture the small camps on the north and south sides.
The small camp in the north was attacked by Liu Meng and Ling Zhan, and he was still hesitating to set off fireworks immediately for help, but he saw that the small camp on the east and west sides first took off red fireworks, emitting a brilliant light in the sky.
Zhang Qi had just sent a thousand men and horses to reinforce the small camp in the south, but the other three camps soon heard the sound of shouting and killing and war drums, and the small camps on the east and west sides successively raised fireworks for help, which made Zhang Qi a little overwhelmed;
There are still 4,000 men and horses in his Chinese army camp, and if he sends 1,000 to the east and west camps, only 2,000 men and horses will be left behind in the Chinese army camp.
If reinforcements are not sent quickly as agreed, the small camps on the periphery will be demoralized, and once a certain direction is broken through, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and the camps in other areas will also follow the avalanche, which will inevitably affect the Chinese army camp, and then there will be no official army to attack, I am afraid that the Chinese army camp will also collapse.
Zhang Qi was worried, the night was vast, the enemy situation was unknown, and he couldn't tell which direction was Qin Mu's main direction of attack, and now there were rescue signals from all three directions, so he had to send a thousand men and horses to the east and west to reinforce them.
From the hillside where Qin Mu is located, it can be clearly seen that the three fire dragons have galloped out of the rebels' Chinese army camp, galloping in the south, east and west directions respectively.
And the camp in the north was under the onslaught of Liu Meng and Ling Zhan, and soon fireworks for help were also raised, and Zhang Qi really hesitated a little now.
Didn't Qin Mu only have two thousand people? If the two thousand men were divided into four, and there were only five hundred men in each direction, how could they force the four directions to send a signal for help so quickly when their own side had already taken precautions?
This incident made Zhang Qi feel strange, he decided not to send reinforcements to the north first, but to send a horse to check the situation on the spot, if Qin Mu is really divided into four ways, then the two thousand men and horses in his camp will attack all the way, and it will not be too late to break through.
Qin Mu didn't bother to care if Zhang Qi would send reinforcements to the north.
He jumped up and shouted to the thousand men and horses behind him: "Brother, come with this official, destroy the rebels in the south first, rush!" ”
A thousand men and horses immediately rushed towards the camp in the south like a tiger descending from the mountain, and at this time, the camp in the south had collapsed under the onslaught of Huo Sheng and Cui Feng, and the remaining two or three hundred rebels were fleeing towards the Chinese army Dazhai in a desperate manner;
Mo Qingniu, who led the troops to reinforce, saw that the southern camp was routed and rushed straight to him, in case his 1,000 men and horses were rushed out of formation, the consequences would be unimaginable, so anxious that he roared angrily: "Flee to both sides, flee to both sides, don't charge into battle, don't charge into battle."
Two or three hundred routs were chased and killed by Cui Feng and their tails, screaming everywhere, who would listen to Mo Qingniu shouting something, seeing Mo Qingniu's thousand men and horses lined up in front of them, they just wanted to rush into their own people's formation, maybe only in this way could they find a sense of security for these frightened birds.
"Shoot! Shoot with arrows! Mo Qingniu was furious, he couldn't care more, and ordered a thousand of his men to fire a salvo, and the fleeing Nanying rebels did not die in Cui Feng's hands, but they fell to the ground one after another in this rain of arrows, and the sound of popping into the flesh was heard very clearly in the night, and after paying hundreds of lives, the rebels who fled fled to both sides.
Huo Sheng and Cui Feng, who were chasing closely behind the rout, didn't think about it, they also followed the left and right, and followed the rout of the Nanying army to rush into the night on both sides.
Now Mo Qingniu was a little dumbfounded, although they were playing torches, but standing under the torches and looking into the dark, after all, they couldn't really see it, the rout was frightened by the rain of arrows and fled to both sides, but the enemy was gone, the front was dark, except for the hundreds of rout soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground by them, there was nothing.
He just reacted, in the night on both sides, Cui Feng and Huo Sheng had already killed each other, first a burst of strong arrows shot out from the night, and the rebels on the left and right wings couldn't figure out what was going on, the strong arrows had already shot into their bodies, and they fell to the ground screaming one by one, and the formation was scattered.
"Kill!"
Huo Sheng and Cui Feng were both in the lead, brazenly rushing into the enemy formation, and the rebels who resisted in a hurry were like thin ice in the scorching sun, quickly disintegrating;
Huo Sheng held a knife in one hand and a horsewhip in the other, and at the same time as he cut down a rebel, the horsewhip flew away, wrapped around the neck of another rebel, and pulled the person over, and the big knife swept through, and the rebel's throat suddenly burst with blood, and the broken throat made a "ho-ho" sound.
The hundreds of strong troops behind him were like wolves, rushing out of the night and desperately killing into the enemy formation.
"Resist, resist, fast, support the two wings" Mo Qingniu roared, but how difficult it was to command the army at night, there were few soldiers who could hear his voice, and even if they did, they might not be able to execute, at this moment they were similar to a surprise attack, and they couldn't see how many officers and soldiers were killed, and their courage had already been lost.
At this time, in the night ahead, Qin Mu also arrived in time with a thousand men and horses, which will undoubtedly be the most important straw that crushes the thousand rebels.
