Chapter 190: Counter-killing
The first scream of the night raid was made when the sneak attacker fell into the trap and was pierced by many pieces of bamboo and wire. The trap of X was at least seventy or eighty steps away from the camp of the Northern Army, and it was dug by Xiao Shan himself and his subordinates.
In the camping drill issued by the forces of Tianma City, there are strict requirements for details. For example, to secure the fence; Set up a horse trap in front of the fence; Set up a deer barricade in front of the horse pit; There are a certain number of traps and horseshoe pits in the 100 steps in front of the deer; Between the trap and the horse pit, a certain number of horse nails should be sprinkled; Behind the fence, in addition to the watchtower's watchpost, there must also be a hidden whistle between the tents!
Of course, there are always two sides to the story.
If this rule is strictly followed every time you camp, it will not only cost a lot of manpower and material resources; Moreover, when the camp is pulled out the next day, it is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to recycle these camping tools, and sometimes it is not possible to get on the road after an hour of packing.
Therefore, in many cases, when the general gives the order to camp, it is often accompanied by the alert level, and the subordinates understand which camping methods can be omitted according to the level of alert.
Of course, the possibility of cutting corners by his generals is not ruled out.
For example, tonight's camp.
Since the Northern Expeditionary Army had fought three consecutive battles in the previous five days, and most of the rest of the time was on the march, the whole army was tired, and it was deep in the enemy's territory, Zhang Liao issued the highest level of vigilance order, and prepared to rest here for two days. It's a pity that there is no shortage of "smart people" everywhere, and many generals are cutting corners when they set up camp!
After the injured Huang Yao found out, he thought he had found a reason to be lazy: they can be lazy if they are not injured, can't I be injured or not?
The result was that he was not only reprimanded by Chen Ming, but also under Chen Ming's personal supervision, the camp was re-established in strict accordance with the requirements of the camping discipline.
Tonight, it was Chen Ming's prudence that saved countless lives.
After the first enemy fell into the trap, the rest of the sneak attackers did not stop advancing, because they could not tell whether it was a warning trap or not, so it was impossible for the whole army to stop because one person had died.
As some people fell into the trap one after another, the Han army camp had been alarmed, so the night raiders not only did not stop, but also accelerated the pace of the attack, stepping on their horses and charging forward.
What made the commander of the sneak attack feel extremely depressed was that most of the attacking soldiers obviously did not fall into the trap, but they fell one by one. "I must have encountered a horseshoe pit or a horse nail!" He thought silently in his heart, but he didn't know that he was unlucky to have both.
The hooves of the horses in the charge fell into the hoof pits, and it was easy for the horses to fall due to broken legs; The horse's hooves were pierced by the horse nails, and they would immediately fall to the ground, but in the darkness, even the cavalry on the horse did not know what had happened to them, but they were just dizzy, and most of them were trampled to death by the cavalry behind them, or tripped the cavalry behind, causing further confusion.
This further affected the efficiency of the second rocket launcher of the thousand-man team, resulting in a camp that was not completely chaotic.
When the cavalry finally rained arrows and rushed to the fence for ten or twenty paces, they ran into a deer barricade again, and they couldn't even attack the fence, so they had to dismount and move the fence away. How easy is it to say? The cold arrows that were constantly fired through the cracks in the fence in the camp caused the night raiders to be killed on the spot before they could move the fence!
When they finally emptied the deer through a gap, they encountered a circular trap less than two meters in front of the fence. The trap is not big, only one meter wide, and it stands to reason that the horse will jump over, but the front is less than two meters away from the fence, and it is not enough for the horse to stand in the past, and all the horse's hind legs can only fall in.
It doesn't matter if you fall into it, the trap is not deep, only about 80 centimeters, but the problem is that it not only affects the action of the attack fence, but also makes the attacking troops a live target for the archers behind the fence! This wave of attacks is really uncomfortable!
Seeing that more than ten minutes had passed, and the fence had not yet been breached, the enemy general ordered to divide a team of 1,000 men again and attack in the direction of twenty or thirty meters closer!
This time the direction of the attack was right, the northern army in this direction, when camping, obviously cut corners, and the attacking troops only enjoyed the deer fence and fence, and it took less than five minutes to be attacked into the camp!
It's a pity that from the first scream to the night raiders breaking through the fence, a full twenty minutes have passed, and Zhang Liao's middle-level troops have also been killed.
The Tuhu Army is not only a mid-level special class, but also has an additional bonus when fighting externally, so although there are only 2,000 people, it is strong and the enemy can't resist it at all.
The attacking troops are more than 80,000 people, and the camp in front has been breached, so the commander of the sneak attack force is reluctant to give up, and the number of the Han army is far lower than himself!
It's a pity that the level suppression of two levels is not something that can be withstood by a large number of people. In less than five minutes, 10,000 troops responsible for entanglement of Tuhu's army were killed by Zhang Liao. When Zhang Liao turned his horse's head and killed back, there were 4,000 Han army iron cavalry led by Gong Du behind his buttocks! They also joined the battlefield in time!
Although the number of enemy night raiders was large, it was a pity that they were all third-order soldiers, and they had just been abused once or twice by the 2,000 Tuhu army, and then by the 4,000 Han army iron cavalry!
The level is suppressed too much, and sometimes it really can't be made up for by a larger number!
In this wave of head-to-head confrontations, the sneak attackers obviously suffered a big loss in the head-to-head battle!
When Zhang Liao penetrated the enemy formation for the third time with 2,000 Tuhu troops and 4,000 Han cavalry, thousands of Han cavalry rushed out of the camp.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao does not intend to give up, and is determined to chase the death and chase the north!
"Kill!" Gong Du was also unwilling to be left behind, and led the Han army's iron cavalry to follow closely behind to chase and kill the rout.
"Kill!" The thousands of third-order cavalry who had just come from other directions that had not been attacked by night were not willing to fight a battle, so they withdrew to the camp and followed the pursuit.
As for the other soldiers, under the restraint of Guo Jia, they still held the camp. Chen Ming's tun, because the camp in front of him was too firmly entrenched, it was not easy to rush out nearby, and there was not enough time to rush out by detour, so he could only watch his comrades-in-arms make meritorious contributions.
In tonight's battle, Chen Dang's thirty-five songs, basically except for shooting a few arrows, he didn't cut a knife or stab a single shot!
In this chase battle, until dawn, the pursuers returned to the camp one after another, leading the captured war horses, carrying other trophies, singing and laughing all the way into the camp, and then the sound of the soldiers returning victoriously bragging and farting came from the camp!
Only the 36 songs, which were breached on the west side of the barracks and suffered heavy casualties, were even more pale and depressed at this time.
The song led by Chen Dang stopped the enemy's crazy attack for more than ten minutes, and he didn't let the enemy take advantage of half of it; The enemy had no choice but to attack the section of the fence he was guarding, but in less than five minutes, it was breached, if it was not for the main general Zhang Liao to arrive in time with the army, I don't know what serious consequences would have been caused!
