Chapter 21: Breaking Seven Base in a Row
A few miles southwest of the Shendo Army camp.
A sub-fortress with a high and deep moat, and several small villages surround it.
It was already early in the morning, but Wu Dao was still sitting in the military tent, looking at the young man in front of him with a dignified expression.
The young man was born with a leopard's head and eyes, a tall man, and a beard. He is the eldest grandson of Wu Dao, Wu Zhongtian.
"Tian'er, what do you think of the recent battle situation?" Wu Dao said with a solemn expression.
Wu Zhongtian's voice was quite loud: "Master Su has no last resort, Anxiang City is crumbling, why worry?"
Wu Dao shook his head.
He had been greatly favored by Su Mengzhen, so he was dissatisfied with Su Mengzhen's decision this time.
Sounds bizarre, but not contradictory.
Wu Dao was born in the famous Wu family in the temple.
The Su family, the Wu family, and the Deng family, the hall master family of Qingzhou and Iwakura, etc., are all descendants of the ancient sword emperor Jibu Qianyan, and the Jibu clan is divided into multiple surnames because of the large population.
Only the descendants of the Kibe clan are eligible to compete for the hall master of the shrine.
If Wu Feng, who has newly returned to the Divine Hall, is really the son of Wu Junhao, the generation of Tianjiao Wu of the Wu family, then he can be regarded as a relative of Wu Dao.
But Wu Dao was ostracized by the clan in his early years, and in a fit of anger, he left the house and fell into the grass to harm the people.
Later, Su Mengzhen succeeded to the throne, dressed in green clothes, entered the village alone, persuaded Wu Dao with righteousness, made Wu Dao change his evil and return to the right, and returned to the shrine with the village soldiers. He also reused Wu Dao, and the territory was golden and rewarded.
In this attack on Sanhe, Wu Dao was fully responsible for the garrison of the western camp outside the big camp.
"The morale of our army is very unsatisfactory, and because looting is strictly prohibited, many soldiers have secretly played dice and gambled in the camp. Wu Dao said: "Even if the previous three times were deliberately defeated, in order to fall into the city in one fell swoop this time, this approach is also very hurtful and seems to be a bit risky." ”
Wu Dao had also admonished Su Mengzhen before, but Su Mengzhen was forcefully pushed back.
Because of Su Mengzhen's kindness to him, he has the obligation to admonish. But no matter what decision the hall master makes, he will resolutely implement it, even if it costs his own life.
Wu Zhongtian laughed: "Grandpa, you are old, you are worried too much, right?"
"The main camp is already strictly purging military discipline, even if it is a veteran of a hundred battles, he will be strictly killed if he violates the military order, and he will not be merciful......"
Wu Dao sighed: "It's too harsh, I'm afraid it will backfire." Master Su has been practicing good governance for so many years, and everyone is used to living a good life, so they may not be able to adapt to it. ”
And said: "In your opinion, if Mikawa's reinforcements plan to rob the camp, will they attack from our direction?"
Wu Zhongtian said loudly: "Our direction is the densest sub-base, with many arrow towers and sentry towers, and a herd of antlers. If you come here, you will definitely be trapped by us, and when the reinforcements from the direction of the main camp arrive, you will be able to eat the enemy cleanly......"
"Grandpa, you're really ...... I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, let me discuss things with you, it's almost early in the morning. Wu Zhongtian said unhappily.
"We are the people of the generals, different from ordinary soldiers, I don't sleep for two or three nights, what are you complaining about?" Wu Dao blew his beard and said: "I just feel something, I always feel that the enemy will attack tonight......"
"As a result, we waited all night with the sentries on the night watch, and none of the ghosts came. Wu Zhongtian spread out his hands, suddenly raised his head, and looked out of the tent from the window: "Ah, it's dawn." ”
Wu Dao's eyes swept away: "Yes, but why is the light so hazy?"
He hurried out of the tent, only to see beyond the camp, in the grass and trees, in the wilderness, a white expanse with no edge in sight.
"Not good...... It's fog. Wu Dao said: "If the enemy can be sure that the fog will rise in the morning, he will definitely choose to attack early in the morning rather than at night, when the sentinels are most tired and lack of vigilance." ”
Wu Zhongtian said: "Master Su has been preparing for many years, and it is not that he has not studied the climate in this area, Xiangyang County has many water veins, between spring and summer, it is easy to fog, and there are fog lights in the camp for a long time......"
Wu Dao's old eyes bloomed: "Countermeasures can only offset part of the power of the strategy in many cases, which is why the traders seem to have no last resort, but they can distinguish the winner from the loser." Don't take it lightly. ”
Before the words fell, someone shouted: "It's not good, someone has come to rob the camp!"
At the same time, the bell rang loudly, indicating that the antlers outside the camp had been violently struck by the enemy, which provoked the bell above.
Antlers, also known as horse rejection, are crossed wooden posts fixed into shelves, which are inlaid with blades and thorns, which can stop and delay the movement of enemy horses, and can kill and injure enemies.
Wu Dao's heart was stunned, and he shouted: "The night watch soldiers will go to resist with all their might, and all the sergeants of the headquarters will quickly go out to meet the enemy, and the herald will ride to the main camp and ask for support!"
The Shentang army was worthy of being well-trained, and with an order, they rushed out of the camp tent one after another, forming a strict and small formation, and there was no confusion, and there was no look of fatigue on everyone's faces.
Wu Zhongtian sneered: "Grandfather, the enemy is nothing more than a cavalry charge. However, there is a shortage of good horses in the Central Plains, and there are not many cavalry in Sanhe, and our camp is strong, and there are many spears and arrows, although the enemy comes, he is only sent to death. We can do it, so why ask for help?"
Wu Dao's expression was cautious: "Be safe." ”
But only a few loud bangs were heard, and in the dense fog at the main entrance, a piercing red suddenly appeared.
Sawdust fluttered in the mist, which were washed out obstacles such as horse-repellent piles and thistles.
"The Bloodslaughter Camp is coming. Wu Dao said calmly.
Bloodslaughter Battalion.
The bloody killing camp built by Li Qing, the first generation of the male master of the Sanhe Sword Sect, is known as the four strong soldiers of Middle Earth together with Yizhou Wusebei, Jiangdong Red Flame Cavalry, and Yanshan Yangbei.
There were only 200 people in the blood slaughter camp, but twenty years ago, thousands of people in the Divine Hall were defeated.
Wu Zhongtian said: "We have a favorable location, although the blood killing camp is strong, there is nothing to show...... Wait a minute. ”
He wondered, "Isn't the Blood Killing Battalion a heavy infantry, how did it come so quickly?"
Wu Dao's face sank like water, and he rushed into the crowd of soldiers who were already waiting in formation at the camp gate.
"Although Li Zhong is not as good as his father, he should have done some things in the past twenty years, such as quietly reorganizing the blood killing camp into a cavalry ......" Wu Dao snorted: "Or, armor and cavalry?"
"This ......" Wu Zhongtian's expression changed sharply, and he muttered: "Heavy cavalry...... But even if the training can hide from us, how can it be possible to bring so many heavy cavalry to the north of Anxiang City?"
Wu Dao snorted coldly: "Fool, of course, first disguise the heavy cavalry as light cavalry and mix it in the light cavalry of the night city. Heavy armor and horse armor are transported as baggage, and they are all equipped when they reach the designated location...... In order to build this iron army, Li Zhong should have paid a bloody foundation. ”
But he knew in his heart that this was probably the last time he would teach his grandson.
Originally, the morale of the Shentang army was low, but the exhausted Three Rivers Army had only worse copies. But the enemy troops who appeared in front of the battalion were clearly fighting and full of will to win.
They were covered in blood, like Shura returning from hell.
"Three rivers loyal soul, blood slaughter the world!" The slogan moved, like thunder tearing the sky, causing the earth to tremble with the sound of horses' hooves.
This was the slogan of the bloody killing camp that Li Qing personally finalized back then. Li Qing once claimed that he could win the world before the age of thirty, but he suffered an accident and died young.
This heavy cavalry in blood-colored armor had destroyed all the defenses outside the camp and came towards the camp like a stream of blood.
The trenches could not stop them, and the layers of fences were crushed to the ground or turned to powder.
"Listen to the order, fight hard, and kill the enemy!" Wu Dao said resolutely: "We, the warriors under the Divine Hall, would rather die in battle than take half a step back!"
"Old man, I admire your courage. In the cavalry formation opposite, Zhao Zhonggao, the commander of the bloody slaughter battalion, looked at him like water: "However, several camps on both sides of you should have been breached, and the rout is fleeing to the main camp." ”
He looked at Jiu Zhongci on the side again, and said with a smile: "Excellent strategy, worthy of being the first person of the young generation of my Sanhe faction." ”
Jiu Zhongji just smiled and received the appreciation of his seniors.
Wu Dao, as the general of the Divine Hall, quickly figured out the other party's strategy.
The reason for attacking the most heavily defended southwest was to destroy the defenses with the terrible impact of the heavy cavalry, and to break through the fortifications with great mobility and lightning.
The light cavalry is not good for fighting, and even if it can destroy the defenses, it will be reduced to the meat of the chopping block under the resistance of the spear and shield arrays. And the heavy cavalry was completely different.
Then drive out the rout, storm the main camp that is more tightly defended, and take advantage of the chaos to enter in one fell swoop. The southwest side has the most secondary bases, and it can create the most routs.
Borrow the enemy to attack the enemy, and turn the strong defense of the Shentang Army into the power of the main camp.
However, such a subtle operation requires extremely high morale. With the current situation of the Three Rivers Army, it should not have been able to implement it.
Wu Dao didn't have time to think about it anymore, he held a huge spear two zhang long, bravely broke into the enemy formation, roared, stabbed left and right, and soon pierced several knights like blood-colored steel fortresses through heavy armor, crashed off his horse, and smashed up smoke and dust in the sky.
But all around him was the sound of clicking, and the spears snapped under the violent impact, and the great shield exploded and flew into the sky. The strong archers in the rear were also trembling with fear from the surging momentum, and they were unable to fire a salvo at all.
Unless the power of the tactics is unleashed, the bow and arrow will only tickle these steel monsters.
In addition to the two hundred heavy cavalry of the Bloody Slaughter Battalion, hundreds of light cavalry also followed, mixed in with it, slaughtering and driving away the foot soldiers of the temple more and more brutally.
Zhao Zhonggao, the leader of the Blood Killing Battalion, showed a respectful expression, and then let out a dragon groan from his mouth.
The spear in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling electric light, and suddenly he let go of his hand, and it spiraled like a spiral in the air, swinging a large area of lightning.
With a snap, Wu Dao's giant spear broke, and Zhao Zhonggao's magic weapon spear stabbed through Wu Dao's heart goggles, piercing Wu Dao's chest with a shot, blood gushing out, dyeing his silver hair red.
When he died, he still had a resolute look.
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, the Martial Ancestor witnesses, please allow Wu Dao to be loyal to the Su Hall Master in the next life!"
Wu Dao turned around with the last of his strength, looked up to the sky and roared, and his old body fell to the ground with a bang, and he was out of breath.
In the surging fog and dust, in the roar of blood light, the entire Divine Temple Army in the camp collapsed, crying and fleeing towards the main camp.
The Three Rivers Blood Killing Camp, in the early morning, under the cover of fog, broke through seven bases in a row, driving away a large number of routs, target: the main camp of the Divine Hall, and-
The rough-looking Jiu Zhongci looked very indifferent, as if he was infected by Zhao Zhonggao, the commander of the iron-faced blood killing camp, and said word by word: "Su Mengzhen's head." ”
