Chapter 786: Confrontation
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Outside the camp, the roaring Hu horses, the trampling of horses' hooves was as loud as thunder.
On the high gate, Zhu Biao calmly looked at Hu Qi, who was hundreds of steps away, and in the dark night, even if there was a firelight, he could only see the black tide surging in the torrent.
Uveta is here, and he didn't wait for tomorrow, but tonight.
Outside the camp, there were dense horse pits, scattered thistles, and the sheep and horse walls in front of the camp. Firmly kept Hu Qi out of the way for hundreds of paces.
"Dashuai, Hu Gou won't call at night, right?" Gong Wuregret looked at the Hu people outside the camp who were holding torches and galloping horses, like rolling fire dragons, circling around and tightly twisting the two camps in the middle. The piercing whistling sound, like an invisible sledgehammer, struck him hard at one time and another.
People have lived for seven or eighty, and their martial arts have been practiced to the innate realm, but Gong Wuregret has not been on the battlefield once. This was his first war, a decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people.
"Don't worry, they won't attack at night." Zhu Biao didn't look back, and ordered the heralds on the side in a soothing and calm voice: "Pass on my military order, except for the night vigil, the rest of the soldiers will rest normally." ”
Gong Wuregret, Qi Qiuyu and others all looked at Zhu Biao in surprise.
Zhu Biao did not explain. He dared to pack the ticket, and Uwei did not dare to fight in the field.
The combat power of the Hedong Army is clear, and even a tentative attack will hurt hard. And fighting at night, the more risky is the Hu people, and not seeing the ground clearly will make them suffer a big loss. Many obstacles that can be seen and avoided during the day become deadly dangers at night. The speed of the cavalry meant death, but that death was not only for the enemy, but sometimes also for oneself.
There was no need for Uwei to venture out in the dark. Night battles are extremely dangerous, unless they have an absolute advantage, not only in terms of troops, but also in terms of strategic and tactical superiority. It's pitch black. Even if there are torches, it will not help in the battle of the army. Besides, what the Hu people wanted to attack was a camp guarded by the Hedong army, and the night battle was that they were looking for death.
Zhu Biao's order was very bold in the eyes of Gong Wuregret, Qi Qiuyu and others, but in fact, Zhu Biao was the most cautious. His boldness is only based on his knowledge of the strength of both sides and the enemy, and he is by no means blind and arrogant.
Gong Wuregret, Qi Qiuyu, and Wei Feng are all rookies on the battlefield. The Hu cavalry outside the camp is not very loud, but if you live in the border fortress all the year round or have been in the army for a long time, then you can almost judge the size and corresponding distance of the cavalry by the shaking of the ground and the trampling of horses' hooves.
Divide the herd of horses by two or three, this is the exact number of Hu Qi.
Zhu Biao judged that there were at most 50,000 Hu cavalry outside the camp.
I can't say for sure that there is another army hidden outside Uweida, but consider where he is now. and the quality of the army in his hands, it is impossible to reach the outside of the village at the same time.
"Let's sleep, it's going to be a bloody battle from tomorrow." Waving his hand, Zhu Biao walked back to the Chinese army's tent with light steps. Standing aside, except for Gong Wuregret, the rest of the Wuliang Dao who had not spoken all this time were waiting. was infected by Zhu Biao's ease at this moment, and dispersed after saying hello, no matter what they really thought in their hearts, they were much better on the surface anyway.
At dawn, a faint mist rose up. The snow stopped at night.
Uwei did not appear, Zhu Biao sent Di Feng to investigate, and the Hu cavalry camp stood twenty miles north of the Han army camp. A whole day. Batches of Hu cavalry continued to pour into the Hu camp. This situation made Zhu Biao feel a little shaken - is it true that Uwei Tuo only brought the vanguard elite?
If you seize the opportunity to strike hard, you can't annihilate the main force of Uweida, and you can also make a big deal of its majesty.
But in the end, Zhu Biao still didn't move.
On the third day, the fog was a bit heavier.
Halfway through the hour. The trumpet sounded, and the army of Uwei appeared. More than 100,000 people rode, and the black pressure was scattered on the ground, but Zhu Biao still didn't move.
"Pass my military orders. The infantry garrisoned the camp, and the cavalry rested. No one shall go out of the camp without permission. Violators beheaded—"
Zhu Biao actually chose to avoid the war!
Everyone in the Han army was stunned, and Uwei Tuo also looked at the Han camp with the closed gate in surprise.
The Han army actually avoided the war? Zhu Biao actually avoided the war? Is this still the Hedong Army, or is it him?
The deafening shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth. The Hu people are excited, the Hu people are excited.
The morale of the army in the system bar dropped from full 100 to 98, Zhu Biao's brows furrowed slightly, and it melted in an instant. Because it dropped to 98 morale, it regained to 100 after a pause.
Time passes through noon, passes through the afternoon.
The days are short in winter, and the fact is that it is not yet unitary time, but the sky is hazy and dark. Uwei ordered people to scold for several hours, but Zhu Biao just closed the door.
This is definitely the first time in the history of the Hedong Army, and it is also the first time in the history of Zhu Biao's war.
Zhu Zhong, Zhu Tong, Yang Yanzhang, Hu Yanqing, Li Xian and other generals have invited Ying to fight, and they are not afraid of Hu Qi. However, the strange thing is that Zhu Biao just ignored it and didn't say why. only blindly asks the big and small camps to guard the camps.
In this way, in the arrogant shouting and scolding of Hu Qi, and in the whispered quotation of his own family, it came to dusk.
The dull sound of the bowstring came, followed by the sound of dense arrows breaking through the air in the sky, and the sharp arrows pierced the sky, as if thousands of bees were buzzing, which was the most important housekeeping skill of the nomads outside the Saiwai - riding and shooting.
Uwei first used his horses to 'thunder', and then the army tried to attack. He is very experienced and will not waste the life of a horseman.
Shields are juxtaposed. One side on the other, one side upon the other, a solid shield wall was forged to resist the swarming arrows.
Because Hu Qi is a projectile.
I only heard the sound of the impact of "beep", and the arrows and feathers were stuck to the shield and the wooden planks of the snow wall. Occasionally, a soldier who was hit by an arrow fell, but the gap was immediately blocked by another soldier, and the shield wall remained strong.
Suddenly, the rain of arrows flashed in the sky. The arrows that fell like a curtain of rain turned into mutilated teeth like curtains torn by cats and dogs, and at the same time the sound of screams came from outside the camp.
It was the sheep and horse wall that was set up to exert its might.
The fist-sized traps and thistles were no less than a disaster for a galloping horse, and if it was a hit, it would definitely break.
Uwei Pack is the end of sending horses to 'step on thunder', but the sheep and horse wall is not the same thing as trapping horses and thistles. The sheep and horse wall is difficult to knock down when it hits. Because on the back of the wall, there are half-slopes of ice and snow as support.
The sheep and horse wall here is not a 'wall', but a half-slope facing directly.
The sheep and horse wall eighty paces in front of the camp became the biggest obstacle for the Hu riders. Through the gap, you can clearly see the battlefield, at least 100 horsemen crashed into the sheep and horse wall and suffered bad luck.
Hu Qi suffered a dull loss, turned over on the spot, planted his head, slid along the ground, and so on, and so on, which greatly disrupted the formation of Hu Qi's charge, and a wave of strong but neat arrow rain also stopped.
Although the loss of 100 people was only a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, the Hu cavalry who could interrupt the offensive was equipped with many repeating crossbows. There are also a large number of Han troops with strong bows and crossbows, which are like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
There is no need for Zhu Biao to give orders.
Yang Yanzhang, who was on the front line, blew the horn.
The flag waved, and the shield wall was unraveled in an instant. Thousands of crossbowmen and even more crossbowmen were revealed.
The sound of "bangbang" and the vibration of the "buzzing" bowstring sounded together, and one by one sharp arrows broke through the air, and the counterattack of the Han army arrived.
The sound of "whooshing" breaking through the air is better than the soul chasing order of Hades. Hu Qi, who was inevitable because of the reduced speed, was like a dumpling, falling off the horse one by one.
Uwei immediately sounded the horn for the withdrawal of his troops. Through this temptation, he got the answer he wanted most. It was not the defensive strength of the Han army's camp, but Zhu Biao's determination to close the camp.
Early one morning, the fog was even heavier.
The hour of this day was until the hour of the hour, that is, 10 o'clock in Zhu Biao's previous life. The fog just began to lift. And in the afternoon, just after midway, the smoky mist began to condense again......
"The fog will be bigger tomorrow, and it will continue the day after tomorrow—"
In the Chinese military tent, Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with a clear gaze.
Why did he not come out of the camp? It's not for this fog!
A wooden house in the camp, a big wooden house, but it is the only wooden house in the camp. Nearly 100 dismantled wagons were used in thick planks, and thick carpets were laid inside to keep out the moisture. Then continue to build a thick floor from layers of planks.
Twenty furnaces were burning, twenty. The whole wooden house is not small. But the twenty stoves also made it steaming inside, and there was no cold feeling at all.
An officer who was to hang a waist tag, wearing only a single coat, sat in a wooden house. Not far from him is a large stove, and there are neat large wooden boxes outside the stove, which are more than one person high.
"Da Shuai is powerful, can pinch and calculate, and knows astronomy and geography. In the first two days, we were told to build this wooden house, and all the bowstrings and crossbowstrings had a place to be stored.
Otherwise, depending on the fog of the past two days, the wooden box will not be fine. ”
"That's it. Our marshal said that when it rains, there will be rain, and when the rain stops, it won't fall, which is much more powerful than the famous generals and marshals recorded in the history books.
Look at the generals in the history books, the one who knows the world so well with our handsome? ”
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything clearly. Zhu Biao and the masters in the army are always on guard, and from time to time they will jump out of the camp to check the situation outside.
The smog is just too big.
It was so big that even Zhu Biao didn't expect that this was fog and not rain, but the bows and crossbows that the army took outside would be scrapped in less than half a day. The tough bowstrings and crossbow strings have all become soft noodles.
"Sixth brother, did you already know that there would be fog?" Time has come to this point, Zhu Zhong can't help but be so suspicious.
With his hand on the brazier, no matter whether Zhu Biao's internal strength is deep or not, no one wants to be cold and cold in the ice and snow. "yes, there's still a day left in this fog!"
"Can you tell when the fog will lift? If we can judge, let's prepare in advance, and keep it by surprise-"
I wish you to grow up.
After a few years of fighting, my thinking has matured. Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Tong approvingly, and smiled without saying a word.
"Wow, Sixth Brother, you really have this idea!" Zhu Zhong suddenly realized after seeing Zhu Biao's appearance.
Zhu Biao likes to read books on astronomy and geography, which is understood by the generals and colonels of the Hedong Army. Although he was very puzzled why he also watched it with his heart, he didn't have the slightest magical ability like Zhu Biao!
"This battle is tomorrow—"
It was noon when the sun was clearly visible. The fog had cleared a lot, but there was still a hazy layer of smoke between the heavens and the earth.
It was just three minutes in the afternoon, and the fog, which had dispersed for just over two hours, came up again. During this period, Zhu Biao kept an eye on Hu Ying, which was twenty miles away. Uwei didn't move.
Uwei Tuo did not move, he came to fight the Han army, and he fought a decisive battle with Zhu Biao, how could he withdraw because of the fog.
But Wu Weituo knew Zhu Biao very well, and Cao Bingkun, who had broken into the heart of the Northern Han Dynasty, had already reported Zhu Biao's every qiē to the Hu people. This is something that Zhu Biao does not understand.
From that information, Uwei Tuo paid great attention to one point -- Zhu Biao is good at astronomy and geography.
In many battles in the Central Plains, Zhu Biao accurately judged the time of rain, which is absolutely true.
So...... Can he also judge the fog of the past few days?
Uwei had to be vigilant in his heart. So he ordered the masters of the army to be on full alert. Scattered ten miles outside the Hu camp to be a police sentry.
But Uwei will not retreat from this, because for this reason he can't export, otherwise it will be too mythical and destroy his prestige. And it is also very difficult to retreat on such a foggy day.
Another day passed. Early morning. The Hedong Army had breakfast in the thick fog. More than 50,000 cavalry began to prepare for battle.
Including Li Yan's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Battalion.
More than 20,000 infantry troops were also making preparations, Zhu Biao left the two divisions of Yanqing and Li Xian to guard the large battalion, and Yang Yanzhang's division, that is, the small battalion on the high ground, the whole army attacked. In the battle, they will fight with Zhu Biao's pro-army infantry battalion.
The chest in the wooden house is opened. The bowstrings and crossbowstrings, which are kept dry and well-maintained, are about to be handed over to the crossbowmen in the army.
"The Iron Cavalry Battalion will be escorted by Zhu Zhong's troops to the right side of the Hu Battalion, after the main force has launched an attack from the front. When you hear the sound of fighting, you can only move. Hit the right back of the dog-"
Zhu Biao's overall combat layout is very simple, that is, under the influence of haze, he will lead the main force of the army to do a frontal assault, and then Zhu Zhong's battalion of 10,000 cavalry and Li Yan's 2,000 armored iron cavalry. Slammed the right rear of the Hu camp.
If it's broad daylight, this layout is simply embarrassing. But now there is a lot of smog. It is commendable that Zhu Zhong and Li Yan's right-wing armies can move accurately and in place.
Moreover, the decisive battle of the large corps does not necessarily require a variety of tricks, and the war is peculiar. On the contrary, the larger the scale of the decisive battle, the more decent the deployment of troops on both sides.
The battle is dignified, and this is also the meaning of one side.
At the beginning of the hour, the gates of the large camp and the small camp suddenly opened. Yang Yanzhang's department and Zhu Biao's personal barracks took the lead!
The trapping camp was in the front row, and the army of 800 soldiers drove out of the strongest barrier of the camp. And before that, a group of Hedong Army masters led by Gong Wuregret had already disappeared into the thick white fog one step earlier.
The sword silently attacked in front of the door of a Hu Ying police master, the speed was extremely fast, and the moves were extremely ruthless.
Wei Feng, who was wearing an invisibility suit, was 50% assimilated by the environment, allowing him to almost completely blend into the haze. Even if you stand in front of people, you can't see the human form at a distance of more than a kilometer. However, his sword still pierced the air.
The target's head was like a weak willow in the wind, shaking into a phantom, so Wei Feng's sword missed.
The "Howling ......" smeared a layer of white thin sword once again slashed through a strange arc, slashing downward, he didn't believe that the light power of the target was faster than his sword.
"Bang......" When Wei Feng's sword swept down diagonally, there was a heavy force from the wrist of the steep jue, but it was the target's left hand that struck out at a faster speed than his sword style, preventing Wei Feng's change of move, not only that, but the target's right palm slashed down like a giant knife.
It seems that Wei Feng chose the wrong target. This opponent of his is extremely strange, and it is unimaginably faster. After flashing Wei Feng's sword moves, he immediately rushed in as fast as he could.
Wei Feng retreated in shock, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate. This is his 'first battle', and it is so unlucky.
The sword was slashed, and the agility and speed of the opponent and the strange luck of the move were completely beyond his expectations, and he did not expect that the opponent, who obviously had a scimitar hanging from his waist, would abandon the blade and engage in hand-to-hand combat, which greatly reduced his sword moves.
A sneer was issued by Wei Feng's opponent. When Wei Feng finally dodged the sword with that palm, there was suddenly an extra knife on his right palm.
Wei Feng's eyes widened. How did this knife come about? Why didn't he see it? It's a trick.
The sudden appearance of this knife was something Wei Feng could never have dreamed of.
And this knife is not something that collapsed on the opponent's waist, the scimitar at his waist is still at his waist, and it has not moved. But this knife is really zài, of course it is a short knife.
A white chilling short knife!
It is a knife, no matter how long or short it is, a knife that can kill people is a good knife. And this white chilling short knife is a knife that can kill. Before Wei Feng could figure out where the short knife came from, the short knife had already penetrated into his chest.
A piercing coldness instantly swept through Wei Feng's body. The Tiger Jiao inner armor he was wearing was not used at this moment. He understood what the white, chilling dagger was. It was clearly the opponent's ice blade that gathered water vapor in an instant.
Wei Feng didn't scream, but his eyes widened and he wanted to express his last fear, and his whole body stiffened. But in the end, he didn't die, and Gong Wuregret pulled him back from the edge of the cliff.
A tide of internal force was infused into Wei Feng's body, the cold ice melted, and Wei Feng gasped.
"Go back and heal. This is the Innate Grandmaster! ”
The opponent stood still, and the short knife in his hand had turned into a real scimitar, and the silver scimitar still shone with the brilliance of Senhan in the haze.
