For a time, the Macedonian camp was in disarray. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the camp of the Chinese army, Sarul had just fallen asleep in the tent when he heard the roar of a thunderstorm outside the tent, and a commotion resounded in the camp.
The battle-hardened instinct of war woke him up immediately and jumped out of bed quickly. Out of the habit of vigilance, he didn't even take off his armor when he slept, and after feeling his weapon from the side of the bed, he walked straight out of the tent.
Several of his own soldiers had already rushed to the outside of the account at this moment, and Salul held two battle axes in his hand, looked at them with a look of anger and asked, "What's the matter?
The leader's personal soldiers were full of anxiety, and the clothes and armor on their bodies were wet from the heavy rain, looking a little embarrassed, but they still nodded quickly and said:
The cavalry of the Northwest Army attacked our camp at night, and the front camp had already broken through, and it was not clear how many troops there were, and the rain was too heavy!"
When Salur heard this, his heart immediately tightened, but he immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Don't worry about the front camp, blow the horn, set up a stake railing outside the inner camp, and block the attack of the Northwest Army first! Gather all the soldiers of the Chinese army, count as many as you want, and urgently assemble them outside the camp!"
When several pro-soldiers heard this, they immediately blew horns everywhere, and several Macedonian officers who hurried to the Chinese camp were also a little surprised when they saw Saruol, and a Macedonian officer even asked directly:
"Lord Salur, the Northwest Army is attacking at night, we have led the soldiers to counterattack, where is General Baseileus, we need him to come forward to deploy combat orders!"
Salur's face was fierce, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he directly shook his head and said:
"No need, the general already knows the situation and orders me to be fully responsible for commanding, you guys go and organize your soldiers to fight back now, and find out how many people there are in these damn Northwest Army first!
If they can't resist it, they will concentrate their forces in the camp of the Chinese army, where the terrain is undulating and not conducive to cavalry charges! Even if they kill them, I am afraid they will have to dismount! Now, go and give orders!"
Salul glared at these officers with an angry face, originally these officers were his subordinate generals, but at this moment, when he gave the order, they all naturally obeyed. Even the officer who wanted to inform Barcelus listened to Salul's words, and immediately nodded respectfully, without the slightest suspicion.
After Salul had given these orders, he immediately strode out in the heavy rain under the escort of several of his own soldiers. No one noticed that this fierce and reckless Macedonian general had a resolute look in his eyes at this moment......
Taking advantage of the night and rain, Ronkdo's cavalry rushed all the way, brandishing scimitars in their hands to open the way, and the Macedonian soldiers in the camp hurried to arrive, but they were powerless to resist. For a time, the thousands of cavalry at the beginning were like entering a no-man's land, and everywhere they went, the Macedonian soldiers were crushed at the touch of a button!
The Macedonian military camp suddenly resounded with chaotic restlessness everywhere, and exclamations, wails, and roars came one after another!
Many of the officers were disheveled, shouting for command of the equally disheveled soldiers. More soldiers had just crawled out of their tents in panic when they were scolded and urged to line up by their superiors! Most of the soldiers didn't have time to put on their armor, and some didn't even have weapons in their hands!
However, in this chaotic situation, the Golden Armor, as an elite army, quickly showed its military qualities after the initial panic.
Despite the heavy rain and the confusion made it impossible to tell how many enemies there were, most of the outermost soldiers ran out of their tents and began to organize their defenses under the shouts of a few officers.
More and more Macedonians were awakened by the shouts of confusion, there was no charge horn, no time to set up their camp. On black, rainy nights, visibility was extremely low, even in the camp, and they often ran a few steps before they could barely see the enemy in the distance.
The cavalry of the 3,000 Northwest Army ran hard in the rain, and the hundreds of cavalry in the lead gathered in one
up, and suddenly poured down. It was like a huge black torrent, with overwhelming momentum, rushing into the army garrison of the Macedonians.
In the night, after more than a thousand cavalry rushed into the camp, they quickly divided into more than a dozen cavalry squads. Scattered outside the Macedonian tents, the cavalrymen of these squads, each armed with a torch, began to set fire on all sides outside the tents in the Macedonian camp.
Although the rain never stopped, the cavalry carried special oil, which, once ignited, was difficult to extinguish by rainwater alone.
A dozen or so cavalry scattered again, galloped to the outside of the tent, sat on their horses, and with only a scimitar in their hands, they picked open the tent of the Macedonians, and threw the torches in their hands into it, regardless of whether there were people in the tent or not.
These cavalrymen reacted quickly and moved extremely skillfully, and it took less than a few breaths to complete the process of arson, obviously not the first time to do this kind of thing, under the intrusion of the arson team, the perimeter of the Macedonian camp was soon surrounded by fire!
The vanguard cavalry regiment led by Ronkedo took the lead, taking advantage of the fire to be even more sharp, rushing into the camp to frantically brandish scimitar and slash. During the day, the Macedonians killed and wounded many soldiers of the Northwest Army, and the cavalry at this moment vented fiercely on these Macedonians with the anger and excitement in their chests!
The cavalry regiment slaughtered thousands of Macedonian soldiers in a row, only to meet a slight resistance from the Macedonians outside the outer camp.
At this time, Ronkdo realized that the Macedonians had arranged the camp very strangely, divided into an inner camp and an outer camp, and there was a large open space between the two camps, which kept a certain distance. It is conceivable that even in the event of an enemy raid like this, the camp of the outer camp is the first to encounter the enemy. And the people in the inner camp can calmly organize their troops, use the open space between the two camps to line up their camps, and gather their forces together.
Although his previous attack on the camp caused a commotion, it also gave the soldiers in the inner camp time to react. This Barcelus, but there are some means!
But even so, Ronktor had full confidence to take the Macedonian camp! Under the heavy rain, the land had become muddy, and even the light cavalry of Ronktor was greatly hindered, let alone the Macedonian heavy cavalry!
Fang had just set fire to the camp himself, and had almost broken through the outer camp, but he had not seen Baseileus's heavy cavalry break through. Although these guys are incredibly powerful when they charge, if they are surrounded by these small camps, I am afraid that even armor piercing will be a problem!
Thinking of this, Ronkedo couldn't help but feel a strong excitement in his heart:
The outer camp of the Macedonians had almost been breached, and the heavy cavalry of Barcelus was missing, so presumably this cavalry must have been arranged in the inner camp.
If it goes well, with the combined efforts of thousands of his own cavalry, he will not only be able to besiege this Macedonian cavalry, but may even kill it! )
