Chapter 21: Night Attack

Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao. On the second day, Lu Chen's department continued to look northwest, which seemed to be no different from usual. Camp at dusk and stay in the southeast of Wuchaoze.

In the middle of the night, the long wind roars and the snow dances.

LΓΌ Qi took nearly 300 servants and a team of 100 dragon cavalry to protect his family. The incident of the yellow turban attack on the camp tonight did not let the family members know, but when they saw the soldiers and horses, the people in the entire family team were naturally so frightened that they couldn't sleep, and of course they didn't have the heart to embroider, Lu Qi was also wearing armor, and he led the soldiers around with a solemn expression.

Lu Chen's big tent, he was really playing checkers with Chen Gong Guo Jia, it didn't mean much, one of them was proficient in Go, and the other was quite accomplished in backgammon, but they were both newcomers in checkers. Lu Zhan was making tea on the side, obviously too nervous, and a little uneasy. Xiao Meow took a small wooden stick and poked firewood, but she was not afraid at all, she didn't understand the war or anything, but she was curious why everyone didn't sleep tonight, and she began to yawn.

Just after midnight, a large group of cavalry came from the north of the camp, and the sound shook the sky, and the tea in the cups in Lu Chen's tent flowed out.

"Cavalry, it's cavalry! No less than 2,000 people! Chen Gong glanced at Lu Chen worriedly.

Lu Chen nodded, didn't pick up the stubble, and gestured around on the chessboard with a chess piece, refusing to fall for a long time.

Guo Jia listened carefully and said: "A thousand Yellow Turban Army is delayed, with a strong momentum, and a thousand cavalry take the lead, of course, using the banner of the Yellow Turban Army. The front team of 1,000 horsemen, the hooves of the horses are light and fast, it can be seen that the horses do not bear the armor, and the armor of the soldiers is also very light, it is a light cavalry. In the rear, the 1,000 Yellow Turban army was scattered and rhythmless, it was just a group of infantry on horseback. ”

Chen Gong lifted the curtain and went outside to look around a few times, then came back and asked anxiously: "Bo Chao, is it really okay?" This is not an attack on the camp at all, a few miles away, there is such a big movement, and torches are lit. This is clearly a hard break! I want to create an excuse for Cao Ren to beg the thief. ”

Lu Chen's brows tightened, where could he be sure? Anything is just in case.

Chen Gong was worried and anxious.

Lu Chen finally dropped the chess pieces in his hand, sighed, and said to Chen Gong: "Uncle Gongtai, it's your turn." ”

Chen Gong pursed his lips, messed up the chessboard, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, glaring at Lu Chen angrily.

Outside the camp, cavalry charged the camp from the flanks.

"I haven't fought before, how do I know if I can win?" Lu Chen finally said, his brows furrowed, "I only know, before the war, you must know yourself and your opponent, and you must move forward during the war, and leave the rest to God to decide!" There's only so much I can do. ”

Suddenly, a small soldier ran in and said, "Yu Xiaojun, there is a strong attack by the Yellow Turban cavalry in the north of the camp, and General Zhang Liao is commanding Long Xiang to deploy defenses." The general said that please rest assured that the enemy will not be allowed to step into the camp. ”

"Hmm." Lu Chen waved back the soldiers and said to Lu Zhan, "Go and ask Uncle Zhimou how he is prepared, and what are the movements of Cao Ren's department." ”

Lu Zhan ran out, came back after a while, and said, "Xiao Junhou, General Zhimou, and the nine hundred tiger cavalry under the tent have completed the array in the front camp, and all the matters are ready. In addition, according to the general of the conspiracy, Cao Ren's camp was brightly lit, and the people were boiling, as if he was ordering troops. ”

Lu Chen nodded, and found that Xiao Meow was asleep at his feet with a wooden stick, drooling, and he took a cloak and put it on Xiao Meow.

At this time, the shouts of killing from the north were deafening, and the battle began.

The first thing to hear was not the sound of swordsmen, but the wailing of horses and the bouncing of bowstrings.

"Digging a hole in the ground is more vicious than rejecting a horse pile! In this battle, I don't know how many good horses will be lost! Guo Jia sighed.

Lu Chen frowned and closed his eyes to recuperate, in fact, he was resisting the urge to vomit in his heart. The wailing of the war horse was so desolate that he seemed to see it with his own eyes, and the horse's legs sank into the small holes thick with the mouth of the bowl, and then snapped with a clatter, and the scalp exploded.

Then came the screams of the soldiers, and the sharp shot of Long Xiang's hard bow pierced the chests of many knights who had fallen off their horses. Lu Chen had never experienced such a hellish baptism of "music", he wanted to cover his ears, but he knew very well that this qiΔ“ was his own arrangement.

After a quarter of an hour, the battle took a break.

A small soldier came to report: "Yu Xiaojun, a thousand cavalry rushed to the camp in the north, and temporarily retreated after losing more than 400 cavalry, no one on our side was damaged in battle, the level of cavalry and archery on the opposite side was too low, and only three of us were scratched by stray arrows." However, the Yellow Turban cavalry turned to the south of the camp, and sent a small number of knights to test the camp in the south, but did not fall into the horse pit, and they seemed to be preparing to attack again from the south, and General Zhang Liao was fortifying according to the plan. ”

The creeps retreated.

Guo Jia's face turned pale, and he shook his head with an unnatural expression and smiled bitterly: "Attacking from the south? It's a northwest wind tonight! ”

When the war broke out in the south, a thousand horsemen rushed to the camp, and the ground shook the mountains.

The soldiers began to throw rockets.

On the edge of Wuchaoze, the snow was full of dry reeds and hay, and when he set up camp in the afternoon, Zhang Liao had already sprinkled a lot of tung oil in the dry grass on Lu Chen's order. At this moment, the rocket landed, and in an instant, the flames rose into the sky, and the raging flames reflected half of the sky.

"There are no pitfalls in the south of this! Kill! Kill! Kill it! ”

The cavalry from the south shouted and rushed wildly, the camp of Lu Chen's army was crude, the fence was very low, and the horses could leap over, they did not think that the flames could stop their iron hooves.

It's close, it's close!

The mixed cavalry of Cao Jun and the Yellow Turban could already see the Longxiang Army in the fence of the camp, they all dismounted, only bows and arrows in their hands, not even a war knife, as long as they were killed, they would become lambs to be slaughtered!

Boom, boom, boom –

More than a dozen loud noises came, shaking the heavens and the earth, and its might even overwhelmed this group of 2,000 cavalry.

What is that?

A dozen bolts of lightning? Hit more than twenty steps outside the fence?

There was no time to think about it, the knights' war horses were no longer under control, and they began to go crazy and run around, and many knights were thrown off their horses and died in chaos.

The blasting thunder did not kill much, but it startled the horses, and the horses of the front team fled backwards in confusion, disrupting the pace and formation of the following cavalry, and the entire cavalry team was mixed together, and was in a dilemma for a while.

"Bow open, light the fire, release!"

"Bow open, light the fire, put!

Zhang Liao mechanically ordered his soldiers to throw rockets non-stop.

After a while, the south of the camp burned to the plain, and the cavalry of the Cao army and the Yellow Turban army were completely panicked and began to flee south, however, the chaotic formation hindered their speed.

Driven by the north wind, the raging flames swept towards the south, devouring a qiΔ“.

The roar of the horses and the neighing of the soldiers were just a sound before death. Soon afterward, they were buried in the flames, or they continued to dance in the flames, dancing, writhing, tumbling in the most desperate and menacing postures......

"Sprinkle the soil, water!"

Zhang Liao, who was accustomed to seeing battles in battle, didn't want to take a second look at the sea of fire in the south at this time, but just commanded the soldiers in a hoarse voice. Xiao Junhou was well prepared, the night was a northwest wind, and when the enemy army came from the north, he repelled the enemy with horse traps and bows and arrows, and he must not set fire. Deliberately empty the south side to lure the enemy to attack. Set fire to the south, supplemented by the threat of gunpowder blasting, disturb the enemy, under the north wind, the flames continue to invade the south, and the enemy will break! Occasionally, the flames will spread, but they will not be very violent, and water and earth have been prepared here to extinguish them.

In Lu Chen's big tent, Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "Defeated!" Defeated! Xiao Junhou, what is that thunderous thing? ”

"Gunpowder!"

Lu Chen didn't explain too much, he squatted in front of the brazier and stumbled slightly, concentrating on the fire. In fact, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to let anyone see him shaking, so he deliberately jumped to cover it up.
