Chapter 13: Sneak Attack
Umuda is one of the famous young generals of the Blood Eagle Tribe, a native of the Blood Eagle Tribe, and has been serving in the Standing Army since the beginning of his career, and his subordinates control thousands of standing army barbarians all year round.
The reason why he was chosen for this raid was also because of Umuda's bravery and loyalty, and also for his future promotion to accumulate qualifications, after all, the lone army went deep into the destruction of the enemy's granary, and this kind of merit was no less than the killing of the generals before the battle.
In the depths of the lonely army, of course, there is danger, for this, Anima snorted, an excellent general, that one did not crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood, he believed in the ability of Emuda, and also believed that there would be no big danger this time, the biggest possibility was to be intercepted on the return journey, but he also made corresponding arrangements, at least Li Xin's Xincheng garrison could not be dispatched on a large scale, as for the garrison of Yangcheng, Anima knew that it was a group of recruit eggs, and the foot soldiers were the mainstay, and the two legs wanted to catch up with the four legs, that was a joke, let them eat ashes behind the horse's buttocks。
Although he was convinced that Qin Wuling's side was unaware of this operation, Umuda still carefully sent scouts to roam around the team, and once he found the scouts on the Dingzhi side, he must intercept them all. But to Umuda's surprise, at the end of the day, he didn't even see a single shadow of a soldier, the three thousand barbarian iron cavalry was actually unimpeded in Yangcheng Rushing straight forward, and at noon the next day, Xu finally saw the huge camp in Yangcheng's granary, with high grain and grass chopping.
"The human race is really arrogant, they actually think that with the help of the new city, they can completely stop us outside, and they are unguarded inside, if they really want to destroy it, they must first make it crazy, sons, prepare to charge!"
Riding on a horse, seeing that in the small market town outside the granary, there were still human figures, and Wu Muda couldn't help but smile on his face, a few years ago, Ye Qing raided the grassland and killed the grassland to the point that no chickens and dogs were left, thirty years of feng shui took turns, this time it was our turn to sneak attack you, granary, I will also kill you to the point that no chickens and dogs will be left. Umuda said in her heart.
"Charge!" With Umuda's order, three thousand iron horsemen swept in, and faintly heard the horn of the alarm on the opposite side sounding violently, and the soldiers in the town were in a panic, and the flow of people was rushing in all directions.
Granary, Wu Gang, who was sitting on a sentry tower, looked at the rushing grassland iron horsemen, smiled at the garrison generals around him and said: "If the sky wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy, this Wumuda is rumored to be a famous general of the grassland, but so, in one day, he went so deep into Yangcheng that he didn't even touch a scout, did he really think that our Qin Wu leaders were all pigs?" Hmph, this Wang Yang is still a woman's benevolence, revealing such a big flaw, if he changes to a husky or an anima, he will definitely see this problem, then our careful planning this time will be in vain. ”
Ren Ruyun, the captain of the garrison on the side, was sweating on his face, but his expression was a little excited, and when he heard Wu Gang comment on Wang Yang, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The city lord of Wang is also unwilling to send his elite scouts to let them kill them in vain!
Although the garrison army is also a military force belonging to Qin Wuling, its status is far lower than that of the regular army, after all, their duty is only to guard the place, so even if the garrison captain who is in charge of 100,000 people, his status is only equivalent to that of the commander of the regular army, and compared with Wu Gang, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, his status is much lower.
Wu Gang sneered: "This time it was a success, but Wang Yang is still like this, after all, he will not be able to become a generation of famous generals, Ci is not in charge of the army, and it is in vain that the general cultivates him." The death of dozens of scouts and the annihilation of thousands of barbarian elites, can't he count it?"
This battle plan was put forward by Wu Gang himself, so it was naturally handed over to him to command, after all, now in the Qin Wu Territory, the generals who can independently command the big war are defending on the border, and choosing Wu Gang can be regarded as a tall man in the short one, and it is used improvised.
Ren Ruyun didn't dare to argue for Wang Yang anymore, and whispered: "Lord Wu, you better go to a safe place in the back, this place has been arranged, and I am here to supervise the battle, you can rest assured!"
Wu Gang raised his face with a determined expression, "No, I'm just here to watch, watching these barbarians die in front of me one by one." Wu Yang, have the people of the action team been deployed?"
"My lord, there is a team of elite personnel of the action team in every important position, and all of them are in place?" Wu Yang said loudly, holding the iron shield in one hand and the long knife in the other.
This Wu Yang is one of the thousand households in Jinyiwei, with high military strength, especially good at singles, he is the right-hand man of Jinyiwei, and he is also Wu Gang's most trusted assistant.
"Very good, although Captain Ren's subordinates are all soldiers, but after all, they are all new soldiers, they have not experienced the battlefield, and they may not be able to cope with the barbarian elite, and the things in the granary are the key things related to the victory or defeat of this war, if something happens, Hou Ye will be unhappy. Wu Gang said.
Although Wu Gang's words were indeed belittling the garrison, Ren Ruyun really couldn't get angry, and even Ren Ruyun showed a wry smile on his face, he also admitted that Wu Gang was right, it had been less than half a year since the garrison soldiers of his capital were gathered, and the time to really realize full-time cultivation was less than three months, and a large number of elite soldiers were transferred to supplement the regular army before, and the combat effectiveness was really worrying, if he didn't have this batch of crossbows, trebuchets and other war equipment in his hands, he wouldn't dare to deal with the barbarian elite.
Late the night before yesterday, after Wu Gang arrived, he immediately took over the supreme power of the granary, and the one who guarded the granary was a capital of the garrison, although it was not a full force, but there were also sixty or seventy thousand people, but it might be okay for them to escort the grain, but it was difficult to say if they wanted to fight. Wu Gang had no choice but to bring a thousand brocade guards with him to distribute them to various points in the granary, and then organize the young and strong people in the granary into a team, each team is equipped with an officer, fortunately, there are many armor and weapons in the granary, the arsenal is many, and they are armed.
The rest of the craftsmen quickly assembled the large instruments that had been made in the granary, and in terms of proficiency in the operation of these instruments, the craftsmen who were responsible for maintaining them were a notch better than the soldiers in the army.
The trap had already been laid out, just waiting for Ebony to step in without hesitation. And now, Emuda has come, Wu Gang sneered at the corner of his mouth, for the barbarians, all the human races are eager to kill them one by one, and it is a great joy for him to see the barbarians covered in blood in front of her. Dressed in military uniform, he sat on the high sentry tower, in front of him, a modified green crossbow is being wound with arrows in the skilled operation of several craftsmen, this modified green crossbow is actually very different from the previous single crossbow, the biggest change is that he can use four long arrows at the same time, although it is said to be an arrow, but in Wu Gang's opinion, the arrow is not much different from a spear, it is completely a ballista.
Wu Yangzhou vigilantly raised his shield and took a knife to guard his side.
Umuda's three thousand iron horsemen rushed into the town in front of the granary like a torrent, and if they wanted to attack the granary, they had to pass through this town, and to Umuda's surprise, the panicked crowd that they had seen before was nowhere to be seen at this time, and there was no one in sight.
"Run fast!" Emuda snorted coldly, but this is fine, although it can't kill people to vent anger, it also saves time, and can directly attack the granary.
The three thousand cavalry began to form themselves in the town, and it seemed to them that the not very high walls of the granary were no obstacle to them, and some of the horsemen had found a huge log, tied it with ropes, and several horsemen were holding the end of the ropes, ready to strike the walls and gates with the help of the horsepower of the zinc.
The rumbling war drums sounded in the granary, and Umuda smiled cruelly, and said, "The cavalry dragging the giant tree ,, attack, began to spin the horses and trot.
Several boulders fell from the sky and landed on top of the town, "trebuchet?" The corners of Emuda's eyes shrank, this was the other party testing the shooting range. "Attack!" he drew his sword and charged forward.
There was a sudden loud sound in his ears, and when Umuda looked up, a fiery red completely occupied his field of vision, and what shot out of the granary was not stones, but burning fires.
"Not good!" a thought suddenly flashed through Umuda's mind.
The fires smashed down, some smashed on the streets, some smashed on the horses, knocked the knights off the horses, and more fireballs directly smashed through the roofs of the town, falling into the dense houses, in the eyes of everyone a little dazed, the town suddenly burst into flames, the fire together could not be contained, at a strange speed began to spread in the town, soon, the cavalry that broke into the town was in the sea of fire.
The trebuchet in the granary was still throwing outwards, but this time it was some crockpots and porcelain vases that broke when they landed, and when they fell to the ground, they cracked, and what flowed out of them made every barbarian cavalry shocked, these were some flammable materials such as grease, and once they were stained with a little spark, they burst into flames.
Wu Muda's heart was cold, all these things were prepared by the other party a long time ago, what he saw before was an illusion, and they were all specially made by the other party for himself, at this time, he finally understood why he ran in Fuyuan for a day, and he didn't find a scout of the other party.
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!" he yelled.
"My lord, we can't retreat, it's all fire behind us!" shouted one of the guards.
Umuda looked back, and behind them, completely overwhelmed by the raging fire, the cavalry, who had no time to dodge, screamed and fell into the flames, screaming and struggling with their horses. The once neat formation was now a complete mess.
