Chapter Seventy-Four: A Tactic to Exhaust the Enemy
Night had fallen, and the camp of the Bird army had been built. This guy was really too cautious, and when he set up the camp, he was monitoring the surroundings to death, and he didn't give Yang Yuan and Bai Ling a chance to sneak attack.
Now that night had fallen, he sent more soldiers to strengthen the defense, and lit a large fire outside the camp. The light of the fire dispelled the darkness around them, allowing soldiers to spot lurking enemies. The firewood was a batch of wood that Bird had sent a team to cut down in the afternoon. The big ones were left to be used as siege tools, and the small and useless ones are now burning.
However, Bai Ling had no intention of sneaking up on them, and at this moment he and Yang Yuan were on the city wall looking at the camp of the Heilin army in the distance. And one of their armies is quietly moving in that direction.
However, these people did not dare to get too close, because the fire of the other party was really too bright. Fortunately, the fire could only shine for about 100 meters, and the range of the bow and arrow far exceeded this distance. As for why not a crossbow but a bow and arrow, because the bow and arrow are a little better.
Dozens of good hands aimed at the more than twenty guards at the gate of the opponent's camp together, and then with the order of Sun Yu, the leader of this operation, the sound of breaking the air and the sound of bowstring vibration instantly sounded in the silent night.
"Enemy~," the guards were killed by a few arrows before they could finish speaking. Everyone was the same, but Sun Yu was not surprised, these people were the most powerful shooters he had borrowed from the Shenji Battalion. And every two or three people present aim at one person, and if they still can't shoot the other party, then the Shenji Battalion can also be disbanded as soon as possible.
"What now?" asked Zhao Sheng, who was his old partner, whether they should take the opportunity to attack the camp or act according to the original plan.
"The action remains the same!" Sun Yu roared and ran back first, and then Qin Jun began to roar: "Kill"
"Rush in and kill them all"
"Kill, set fire to their grain and grass"
“......”
Anyway, a group of people were a few hundred meters away from the opponent's camp and desperately beat gongs and drums, and the sound of the fight shook the sky, but no one attacked the opponent's camp.
Bird's preparation was indeed very adequate, from the time his men were shot dead at the gate of the camp to the beat of the drums, two hundred soldiers had arrived at the gate of the camp in one minute, and the rest of the soldiers were also sleeping in clothes and armed with weapons. So they soon kept coming in this direction. Bird himself hurried from the camp, but he heard only the sound of the drums of the battle and did not see the enemy. So he grabbed a man and asked, "Where is the enemy?"
The captured soldier was also very confused, and he pointed in the direction from which the voice came, outside the camp.
Watching the bewildered soldier Bird begin to regain his composure, he then ordered: "You, second lieutenant, take your men to guard the door to prevent the enemy from rushing in, and then you go and get torches." Bird wanted to see what the other side was up to.
Soon torches were lit, and the soldiers of the Black Lin army began to rush out of the camp gate.
"Let's go," Sun Yu picked up his wooden horn and began to run towards Yanzhen, and the others quickly left with gongs and drums. Bird's soldiers couldn't catch up with them, so they had to go back depressed. But most of them were listless, including Bird. Anyone who is tired all day during the day, and Zhengxiang, who sleeps at night, is still disturbed and woken up. Bird had no choice but to write down the account and wait until tomorrow.
Bai Ling and Yang Yuan on the city tower smiled when they saw Sun Yu and the others coming back safely, and arranged for them to sleep and then changed to another team. But this time they didn't stand on the walls and waited, and they went back to rest.
An hour later, Bird strengthened his defenses and then went back to rest as well. But this time he was woken up again, and the soldiers were so angry that they rushed out with their weapons. The result, of course, was that a large number of people were killed by crossbow arrows, and only then did the people behind run back to get their shields. When Bird organized the army to pursue, the other party fled back to the city of Rock Town. This time, however, they lost dozens of soldiers, more than 20 lightly wounded, six seriously wounded, and more than 30 killed. This time, the Qin army sent a hundred crossbow archers to the gate of the village, and began to release arrows after waiting for some people to come out.
Bird was already mad, and if it weren't for the fact that there were no siege equipment in the army now, he would have led people to attack the city overnight. And now he understands what the enemy means, this is not to let them rest.
At this time, a lieutenant suggested: "My lord, we can't do this, why don't we let the soldiers find something to plug their ears?"
"Fool, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear the enemy when the time comes. But the curse was scolded, and then Bird ordered that two thousand men go to sleep and rest, and find something to plug their ears. A thousand people are waiting here, and if they come again, they will be taught a hard lesson.
However, Qin Jun seemed to know their thoughts, and no one had come to harass them for two hours. The soldiers inside were already asleep, and the soldiers who were still waiting for the other party's sneak attack also began to fight with their eyelids.
"Boom, kill~," The sound of a landslide cracking in the distance was already a shocking sound of killing, which woke up the thousand soldiers. At the same time, the sound of vibrations from the galloping cavalry also woke some sleeping veterans.
But the cavalry came and went as fast as they could, and soon they left again. Of course, this is the Violet Cavalry Battalion, which is the person Bai Ling invited to harass the other party. Now Bird has reacted and arranged for people to pursue. But after all, people can't outrun horses. So those who wanted to catch up with the Violet cavalry were thrown off. So there is no such thing as catching up, well, Bai Ling is bullying the other party for not having cavalry.
Bird didn't dare to send the army too far, what if he was ambushed, he could only appease the soldiers, and then ignore the situation outside.
Don't you want to harass me? Then hurt each other, what can you do if I don't come out to ignore you? At this point, Bird has long planned to be shameless, so let's just spend it. It's a big deal not to invite the battle tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid that my soldiers will mutiny.
Although he was likely to be scolded or even demoted, Bird made up his mind. Hold on to the camp and do not come out, waiting for the arrival of the army behind. If it weren't for the fear of being attacked by the opposing cavalry, Bird would have had the urge to leave here at night.
And sure enough, the violet cavalry came to harass them twice, and until dawn, Bird and the thousand men did not sleep well, and only they knew how the two thousand men slept inside.
He wanted to take advantage of breakfast to catch up on his sleep, but Bird was interrupted, and his subordinates told him that there was a Qin man outside the camp who had come to call for battle with soldiers.
(Unlucky, I overturned while playing with Ichiduo today, and then I injured my knee.) Fortunately, my hand was not injured, otherwise I would not have been able to code. I almost fell asleep just now, and it would be embarrassing to be in that case. )
