Section 1282 The Terrible 'Divine Ride'
On a summer night, the sky is dotted with stars, a full moon hangs high, and the visibility is like day within ten steps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But after ten steps, the mist rising from the mountains and forests and the shadowy shade of the trees made people's eyes hazy.
Zhang Dahai took more than 30 personal soldiers trained by his own hands, carefully bypassed a hill, avoided the grass that might hide poisonous snakes, and crawled into a small forest.
In the distance, the camp of the Huns was already in sight.
Just after a slight look, Zhang Dahai found that these Huns were really stupid!
Their camp did not even consider the possibility of being attacked at night.
The horses and the men's quarters were almost next to each other.
With just a slight glance, Zhang Dahai found hundreds of war horses, chained to a corral.
And this corral happened to be blocked at the intersection of the Xiongnu camp.
This may not be a big deal in normal times.
But if they encounter a night attack by the Han army, they will ask for more blessings!
In Chinese history, night raids have never been an isolated case, and since the Spring and Autumn Period, the night raids that have been seen in the annals of history have been like sweat and cattle, and there are countless of them.
During the Wuchu Rebellion seven years ago, the Han army and the rebels staged a textbook night raid and counter-night attack.
Zhang Dahai took this to heart and continued to move forward.
He and his soldiers were one of the few professional scouts in the Han army.
Each and every one of them has been trained to the highest degree.
He is physically strong, has quick limbs, and his eyesight and hearing are far beyond ordinary people.
Even, everyone has some little tricks.
Similar to Meng Weijun's rooster and dog thieves, they all have skills that can simulate the cry of wild beasts and silently infiltrate enemy camps.
In the past few years, Zhang Dahai has not only taken his own personal soldiers under the cover of darkness to enter the heavily guarded Han army barracks, bypass patrols and vigilant sentinels, and then take the designated things from the barracks.
And this Xiongnu camp, in Zhang Dahai's eyes, is just like a child's toy.
Not only did they not dig ditches on the perimeter and set up all kinds of open and dark posts, but they didn't even bother to put a fence.
In this way, the Huns were fearless and entrusted their lives to God.
Who do they think they are?
Zhang Dahai sneered in his heart, and then led his subordinates along the grass and touched the camp of the Huns.
It is said to be a camp, but in fact it is a king-size field camp composed of countless tents and domes, war horses, and forage.
It is similar to the camp built by the nobles of the Han family when they were hunting in the mountains and forests.
But even the nobles of the Han dynasty camped on their own turf, and they knew how to have their retainers and soldiers take turns training and guarding at night to prevent wild beasts from raiding.
These Huns are good! In addition to the visible few fixed patrol teams, they even set up a high platform in the camp and looked out in all directions.
"This is simply tempting me to come to a night attack...... Zhang Dahai said with a licking of his lips, but his troops are too small, only more than thirty people, and in the face of such a large size of the Huns, the damage he can do is too little.
If there are 300 people and a thousand horsemen outside, Zhang Dahai thinks that this Hun 10,000 horsemen will be finished tonight!
Thinking of his task, Zhang Dahai took people and dispersed.
More than thirty people, like more than thirty dexterous grasshoppers, quietly bypassed the already meager patrol men and horses of the Huns, and went around their forage fields and corrals in various places on the periphery.
Thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of stones and forage were like women who had stripped naked, opening their hearts to Zhang Dahai.
With a cruel smile, Zhang Dahai and his subordinates poured the liquid contained in some of the gourds they carried with them into the forage, and then the fire folds lit up one by one.
And the Huns turned out to be unresponsive.
This made Zhang Dahai and his subordinates look at each other, almost unable to believe their eyes.
But how did they know that their opponents were not Huns at all.
They were an army of slaves plundered by the Xiongnu after conquering Dawan, Kangju and Daxia in the Western Regions.
For the countries of the Western Regions, especially the people of the Greek world, night raids? What is that?
The most important thing is that the cavalry composed of these prisoners of war is more than brave, but their eyes and brains are not too bright.
In particular, many people have severe night blindness.
After all, these former slaves and civilians were already very good to be able to eat a full stomach, how dare they expect to be able to eat fruits, especially vitamin-rich fruits?
The Han army is different, because historically, in the Chinese civil war, all countries have used all methods.
Therefore, military thinking and systems have developed to a relatively mature stage, and even have systems and systems.
Moreover, because there was no discipline and the troops were not as good as the other party, there were too many people who wanted to play night raids and turn the tables.
Therefore, the camps and ravines of the Han army were specially designed to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.
However, in the minds of these Huns, there is no concept of night attack at all.
As for the cavalry of the Hun headquarters, which were good at fighting and marching at night, they were left behind, so Zhang Dahai's infiltration this time was so smooth.
It can only be said that these Jebel knights are self-inflicted and cannot live!
But Zhang Dahai didn't care about this, he whistled and let out a crisp cry.
Then he threw the fire fold in his hand into the hay pile.
There was a big fire, and immediately it was blazing.
In an instant, the fire had spread to the entire hay pile, and it was impossible to extinguish it again!
Because, Zhang Dahai poured whale oil, and it was the most flammable whale oil! Precious oil extracted from the fat layer of the whale's brain.
In Chang'an, a pound of such oil can be sold for a hundred dollars!
And he had just poured a few pounds of grease on it.
The intensity of these oils and fats is almost comparable to that of gasoline in later generations.
As soon as it encounters Mars, it immediately bursts into flames several feet high, engulfing the entire hay pile.
The raging fire soon burned throughout the camp of the Huns.
And along the hay pile, burned to the corrals and tents.
This is the biggest drawback caused by the failure of these Huns to properly arrange and dispose of their camps!
The fire frightened the horses who were kept in the corrals.
The frightened horses began to go berserk, and countless horses jumped out of the burning corrals.
And it was only by this time that the Huns realized the danger.
Countless people ran out of the vault and the camp, watching in panic as the raging fire spread from the periphery to the entire camp.
"Quickly put out the fire...... Gragus, who was dressed in a single coat, ran out of his big tent, looked at the panicked situation, and hurriedly ordered.
However, it was impossible for Zhang Dahai and his subordinates to let the Huns fight the fire so calmly.
They quietly opened the corrals one by one and released the horses inside.
Thousands of war horses, in the fire, without the comfort of their owners, immediately panicked everywhere, creating countless panics, so that the Huns could not stop the people from extinguishing the fire.
At this time, a Han army light cavalry fifty miles away from the Xiongnu camp saw the fire burning in the Hun camp and listened to the noise.
"He really did it!" Li Guang looked into the distance and praised it.
Since Zhang Dahai successfully created panic in the camp of the Huns, and it seems that he has overfulfilled the task, Li Guangzi will not live up to Zhang Dahai's efforts.
"Order all the captains, divide the troops into three ways, attack the captive camp, and shoot them with arrows!" Li Guang immediately ordered: "All departments try to create momentum, so that the chieftain can't figure out the reality of our army!" ”
"No!" The captains saluted one after another.
Then, more than 800 Han soldiers rode lightly, leading the war horses, and walked in three directions.
When they went around the mountain area and occupied the commanding heights, they turned over their horses one after another, and rushed to the Hun camp that was in flames.
At this moment, Zhe others have just barely organized firefighters.
Many soldiers, having even lost their weapons, picked up barrels and various utensils and prepared to go to the river to fetch water.
Caught off guard, and suddenly attacked at night, they were immediately in chaos.
Many people lost their barrels and ran.
Some people hurriedly turned around and tried to find weapons to resist.
But this only contradicts the philosopher and makes the situation even more confusing.
And Zhang Dahai and his subordinates quietly blended in the chaotic crowd, and took the opportunity to shout in Xiongnu dialect: "It's over, the divine cavalry of the Han army is coming, run for your life!" ”
"God Rider?" Hearing these two words, the Xiongnu nobles, who were originally responsible for supervising and supervising the war, did not even observe carefully, they were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.
"God Rider?" Gracchus frowned slightly when he heard this.
Isn't it impossible for the divine riders of the Han Dynasty to appear here?
What's going on?
However, the situation could not be thought about by him.
In the dark night, the sound of the hooves of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty rumbled.
On the flat ground in the distance, there are many shadows, almost all of them are the shadows of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
I don't know how many Han Dynasty people took advantage of the night and fire to kill them.
And the entire camp has become a mess.
The entire Jebewan Cavalry has no organization or structure.
Countless people were crying and shouting, trying to escape, and the frightened herds of horses running around became the objects of these scrambles.
Many people killed each other for horses.
And those who grabbed the horses did not come forward to resist at all, but rode their horses backwards, not caring whether there was anyone on the road, but just running and trampling the past.
Countless people have been injured or killed as a result of trampling.
"Let's go! Gracchus! Rose came to the Gulag on horseback with a group of personal soldiers: "There is no help!" ”
Gracchus took a deep look at the army that was running wildly and messing around in the fire.
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty in the distance had already approached the barracks.
Countless arrows entered the camp from the darkness of the night.
These despicable fellows didn't rush into the camp at all, they just shot arrows around Jebe's camp.
And now, the Jebe cavalry paid a heavy price for the choice of where and how they camped in the evening.
Because they never thought that the Han Dynasty people would dare to take the initiative, let alone that the Han Dynasty would attack at night.
So, they arranged the camp around the valley and beyond, and arranged it into a loose camp that stretched for miles.
At this moment, the fire burned into the camp from the outside, and even ignited the grass and trees in the nearby mountains and forests, and the raging fire went straight to the Zhongjun camp in the valley, and soon became out of control.
The Han Dynasty people on the periphery were shouting and howling, and rockets were fired one after another.
Countless people were shot by arrows, and then they burst into flames, like a burning man, wailing in the camp.
Many people panicked and even crashed directly into the fire, where they ended up being scorched inside.
Thousands of horses ran around, and hundreds of people who grabbed horses ran backwards desperately.
But how dare Gracchus go?
He knew very well that if he ran away, then the master would not let him go!
Surely he will be sent to the altar for the shamans to skin him!
It's as if the master skinned his former boss alive - and his predecessor only lost thirty Hun cavalry in the battle with the Kangju.
"We're going to die a terrible death when we go back...... "The master will kill us!" ”
"No, it won't!" Rose rode on his horse, grabbed Gragu and said, "We will tell our master that it was the Han Dynasty divine cavalry that attacked us, and our defeat is a matter of course!" ”
"Han Dynasty God Rider?" Gragu took a breath, he looked around, and did not see the Han Dynasty god riding haunting.
However, Rose's next sentence made him turn over without hesitation.
"Gulag, my love, you are too upright! Even if there is no divine horse, those defeated soldiers and Xiongnu nobles will tell Da Shan Yu that what we have encountered is indeed a divine horse of the Han Dynasty! ”
"If we encounter the Divine Rider, we will be defeated, and we deserve it!" Again, Ross emphasized this truth.
Glacchus listened and nodded violently.
Indeed, it is normal and deserved to be defeated by the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry, and it is even glorious!
I didn't see that although the vitality of the Zhelan people was greatly damaged, every time they had a meeting, the Zhelan people were like, "Although I was defeated, the person I lost to was the Han Dynasty god horseman, but not like you scumbags, even the Han Dynasty light cavalry can't beat it'.
The other Huns were accustomed to it, and even thought that although the Zhelan people were defeated, they were still glorious.
Especially after the Battle of Gaoque, the nobles of the Xu Bu clan and the Lan clan, who were defeated for thousands of miles in front of the Han Dynasty's divine horsemen, claimed that the Han Dynasty's divine horsemen were invincible, and they ran away without firing an arrow, in order to preserve their strength and avoid unnecessary sacrifices and losses.
Shan Yu should not only not blame them, but should give them a one-ton medal!
Since even the master's headquarters can't defeat the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry, he doesn't even dare to fight the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry head-on.
As a slave, after the battle, and under the sneak attack of the Han Dynasty, he lost to the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry, isn't it a very normal and particularly reasonable thing?
After all, how can man overcome God?
Not to mention slaves!
It was very courageous for a slave to be defeated by God instead of kneeling and waiting to die.
It's just that, deep in his heart, Gragu suddenly had a thought: How terrible is the divine horse of the Han Dynasty? So much so that even the nobles of the fearless master in his impression were paralyzed with fright when they heard the name of the Han Dynasty god horse, and countless people rushed to be the first, and they didn't even go to check the truth or falsehood, and ran away on horseback?
"I'm afraid it won't go well this time ...... south" Gulag no longer had any hope for his master's southward journey.
Before the Han Dynasty divine cavalry appeared, it had already frightened those Xiongnu nobles who were fearless in the Western Regions and dared to rush thousands of Daxia and Kangju cavalry with a few hundred people, and fled in embarrassment.
So, if the Han Dynasty god cavalry really appeared on the battlefield, what would the Huns, and even the Wang Ting Wanqi, whose master was proud and proud, be a performance?
Will they be so frightened that they just turn their horses around and run?
The Gulag didn't know.
But he had heard that in the Battle of Gaoque, a famous general of the Han Dynasty took three thousand divine horsemen and traveled all the way north for a thousand miles, and the result was that any Huns who saw his army discarded everything and ran all the way for hundreds of miles.
But, he didn't care about it now.
He had to save his life first, and then his wealth and status.
And his only choice is to go back and tell his master - the slave met the Han Dynasty Divine Horse, and was attacked by the Han Dynasty Divine Rider at night, so he was defeated, please punish the master!
And we must try to exaggerate and exaggerate the power of the Han Dynasty's gods.
After thinking about it, Gragu suddenly said to Rose: "The Han Dynasty Divine Rider is really terrifying! You can summon the god of fire! ”
Rose was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking rice, looked at his own soldiers with extremely serious eyes and said, "Indeed! It's horrible! I saw with my own eyes that the Han Dynasty Divine Rider summoned a flaming giant, so we failed......"
