Chapter 630: A Thousand Flowers Bloom at Night in the South Wind
In the dark night, the military village stands quietly on this black plain, dotted with dim bonfires in twos and threes, fluctuating, like ghost fires on mass graves.
Wu Gen only let his subordinates rest for half an hour, and then despite the fatigue of running, he quietly sneaked to the side of the guards' camp with a strong spirit. When they were still a few miles from the camp, everyone led their horses forward to minimize the vibration of their hooves.
It's not that they don't want to be sympathetic to their subordinates, because according to the results of the Yihu army's reconnaissance, these people may have to leave the camp the next day, and if they come later, the attack will be meaningless.
The battle began quietly under the sneak attack of the horses of the original Ba family, who only wore soft black leather armor, abandoned their horses and slowly crawled, and finally quietly climbed to the perimeter of the camp. Their task was to destroy the foundations of these walls and pour the oil they carried on the bases.
With so many people moving forward, even if you are careful, you will not be discovered by the soldiers patrolling the other side. However, due to the fact that Nie Pibu was preparing to leave the next day, there were many fewer patrols in the military village tonight, and many tents had been loaded on horse-drawn carriages, and the vehicles were mostly piled up near the gate of the village to facilitate the departure the next day.
It is estimated that Nie Bi did not expect that the opponent would come so quickly. Even if he had been informed that the Dreadnoughts had left the mountain, it would have been two or three days before they arrived, judging by the strength of the horses' feet, so the vigilance was relaxed to an outrageous point.
The Ba family's men and horses retreated safely, and Wu Yan stretched out his right hand, feeling the force of the wind, "Let's fight."
A fluttering order was given, and soon the dreadnoughts moved. According to the attack plan, which had been deduced many times, the armies did not hesitate to be discovered by the enemy, and quickly arrived at their own attack positions.
The first to shoot out were rockets, like meteors, dragging their long tails, drawing dense silk threads in the dark blue night sky, and falling into the camp one after another.
Soon, a raging fire broke out at the wall of the wall, and the flames rolled and crackled, and swept away towards the stockade under the south wind.
Immediately afterwards, one after another flying stone carts were pushed out. These cars have been modified by the bridge class, and their size has been greatly reduced, and although the range is a little shorter, it is also easier to move around the battlefield.
One by one, the fire bombs flew up, with thick black smoke, mixed with the rockets, like autumn chrysanthemums, beautiful and enchanting, blooming fleeting beauty in the camp.
The south wind blooms thousands of flowers at night, and even more blows down, and the flowers are like rain.
In the camp, the lights are brilliant, and the flowers bloom into the sea. The wind fueled the fire, the fire urged the wind, and on a dry autumn day, the flames ignited the grass on the ground, the carts by the wall, and the tents in the camp, rushing towards the depths.
There was chaos in the village, and the awakened men hurried out of their tents, looking for their horses, dodging the rain of arrows. A rapid gong sounded, and someone tried to regroup and rush through the wall of fire around the camp.
There were arrows and stones everywhere, and there were enemies everywhere, and these guards, who had not fought for a long time, forgot to counterattack for a while after suddenly encountering such a surprise attack, or shrank behind the car, or ran towards the center of the stockade, and the whole team had been completely disrupted.
Some of the generals who finally came to their senses stood on the carts in the camp and shouted loudly, trying to gather these headless flies. In a chaotic situation, people naturally instinctively follow blindly, so many people gather in the middle of the camp, where there are the fewest arrows.
A thousand households on horseback are scolding their men, extinguishing the surrounding fires, picking up weapons and preparing to counterattack. He was a little annoyed, how could he bomb the camp so easily, the key is that he doesn't know who launched a sneak attack on the guards, how to explain this to the suppression.
There was a strange sound in the sky, like the flapping of the wings of a bird. There were many birds, and the voices were connected, as if there were countless people sneering.
Qianhu raised his head, his face turned pale, and even under the light of the red and yellow fire, he was still like a man with powder. The black-pressed Danghu Bird and the strange shuttle flew from a distance, like a dark cloud over the head of the camp.
The Righteous Eagles, Chiho finally understood who had attacked the Guards' camp. In today's Iron Hand Province, the name of the Righteous Eagle has been recited many times by everyone who leads the army. And now I can do it all at once
There are many big birds and shuttles, only the Vigilantes can do it.
Liangsha Mountain is so far away, how did they get here, how did they come so quickly?
Chihu sat on his horse, his head straight up as the Righteous Eagle army flew by, turning his head slightly as the first shuttle moved, like a curious child, staring intently at something interesting.
Balls of blue and white light fell from the sky, and under the dark sky, they were like glowing jellyfish, floating in the deep sea.
The ball of light spun rapidly, fluttering and flying over the military village.
The south wind is getting bigger. The sound of the resentful wind gradually sounded, stirring the sparks flying around, as if thousands of people were crying in unison.
Balls of light dragged long rays of light and fell like tired birds.
Countless white lights lit up, the huge explosion made the heavens and the earth tremble, and blue or white lightning snaked through the camp, forming leaf-like golden trees and silver threads, and the light and flames flickered, cutting the entire camp to pieces.
Wherever the dazzling lightning went, it melted the iron sword, pierced the shield, and burned the bodies of the centaurs, echoing the original flames.
A man ran out of the camp howling, and strangely enough, there was no fire on him, but fire erupted from his mouth and nose. After running a few steps, the man fell to the ground, a foul smell wafting through the air.
This situation and this scene made these dreadnoughts who were accustomed to life and death couldn't help but be moved.
Wu Gan's face flickered brightly, silently staring at the camp of purgatory, the walls of which had been burned down, and the traps could not be hidden under the fire.
Slowly pulled out the broken knife, and pointed the tip of the knife at the camp where the fire was still raging, "Kill."
Killed, accompanied by the rapid sound of drums and shouts of killing, the dreadnought spear tossed through the wall that had been burned into charcoal, embraced the endless spark in front of him, and rushed into the fire trees and silver flowers.
No matter how powerful the so-called fire attack is, no matter how violent the flying thunder is, in the face of a camp of more than 40,000 people, the victory or defeat of the war will eventually have to be solved with one sword and one sword.
The sound of shouting and killing, the crisp sound of swords, resounded in the night sky. Figures kept shuttling through the fire, like mountain people dancing around the bonfire, and from time to time someone turned into a part of the flames, and a disgusting, sweet smell of meat wafted in the air.
The left and right armies were the first to cut through the left battalion of the guards and complete the division of the enemy. The Chinese army quickly got stuck between the central army of the guard army and the right battalion, cutting off the passage of enemy reinforcements.
The progress of the front army and the rear army was relatively slow, after all, the large battalion of the garrison army was the thickest, and even after experiencing fire and lightning attacks, there were still many people who survived. Moreover, Nie Bi was also here, as a veteran who had accumulated years, watching the dreadnoughts pouring in, and listening to the shouts of the other two large battalions weakening, he quickly realized that the large battalion could not hold it, and continued to stay here, waiting for the opponent's manpower to be freed up, and he could only be surrounded and annihilated by the other party.
So, he no longer hesitated, and ordered the men and horses in the camp to rush towards the west where the opponent's men and horses were weakest.
After a short battle, nearly 8,000 men escaped from the camp and retreated west with Nie Bi. Now, only by merging with Ji Zhen's men and horses can he block the opponent's attack.
Fortunately, according to the military order of Hanlu City, some people have been sent to the west to meet Ji Zhenbu. The military order informed that the dreadnought army had left the Liangsha Mountain, and asked the two armies to move closer as soon as possible to block the other side's offensive. Even if you can't stop the dreadnoughts, you can take the opportunity to attack the thief's nest of Ryosha Mountain.
It's just that I didn't expect that the dreadnoughts would be so simple, and they would do it when they said they would do it, and they were caught off guard. Nie Bi was remorseful in his heart, why didn't he retreat to the west earlier.
But if you do it again, will you withdraw, the answer is still no. It's all calm, why do you want to throw yourself at Ji Zhen, just because the other party's surname is Ji.
Thinking wildly, the soldiers beside him exclaimed. Nie Bi followed the gesture of his own soldiers and looked back, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Not far behind, a troop of centaurs was following closely. The harness of these people emitted a faint white light, like a flying silver butterfly. Judging by the speed of his horse, he will be able to catch up with these guards behind him in a few moments.
No, his own family and horses have lost their will to fight when they escape, and they can't fight against them in such a dark night.
"Spread out and run west." Nie Bi gave a simple military order, saying that he asked his soldiers to put away their tooth flags, and the men and horses scattered, galloping all the way to the west.
In the dark night, so many men and horses fled in all directions, even the Righteous Husks were not easy to follow, let alone the front army behind.
As a result, except for some of the unfortunate men and horses who were unfortunately overtaken, nearly half of the guards escaped, including Nie Bi, who was hiding among the soldiers.
The power of people to survive in a desperate situation is powerful, and in just two hours, the guards have rushed more than 200 miles.
The dawn gradually appeared on the horizon, and the light came back to the world.
Nie Bi looked at the mount that was already foaming at the mouth, and slowly stopped on a high post. You have to gather your scattered subordinates, and at the same time let the war horses rest, otherwise they won't be able to run to Ji Zhen's camp, and the horses will be exhausted to death. Last night was in a hurry, and there was only one horse for each person. Without a horse, the guards can only become lambs to the slaughter.
It's not that Nie Bi can't escape by himself, with his cultivation, it will definitely be difficult for the other party to catch up. It's just that a person who has lost his subordinates is still calm, and how will he gain a foothold in the Ji family in the future.
Let the pro-soldiers raise their banners again, trying to reunite the scattered men. After waiting for a stick of incense, Nie Bi glanced around with some sadness, and only two thousand people followed, and the rest of the people had long since disappeared.
In the sky, a shuttle appeared, circling around the guards below. Nie Bi's face turned pale, and he jumped up and pounced on the shuttle that still refused to leave.
A white light shot out from the shuttle, and Nie Bi had to turn around, taking advantage of this moment, the shuttle had already fled in a hurry towards the east.
Can't wait any longer, Nie Bi was terrified in his heart, the other party had already detected his whereabouts, and the pursuers should be able to arrive soon.
"Let's go." Nie Bi got on his horse again, and beckoned his men who were already extremely tired to get on their horses, no matter how tired they were, they had to leave immediately, otherwise they could only die.
After running less than five miles, there was a vibration of horses' hooves hitting the ground behind him, and Nie Bi looked back to see that a team of men and horses in white armor were stepping on the glow and carrying the first sun. The leader was a general with a halberd and a white horse and white robe.
Water from the moon, Nie Bi groaned in his heart. Now this name can be described as thunderous in the Iron Hand Province, and it can be described as a proper killing god by killing many people in a row.
Nie Bi couldn't care about his subordinates anymore, his body jumped violently, and he swept away into the distance alone.
In front of the messy guard camp, Wu Yan sat on his horse and quietly looked at the messy battlefield in front of him. The morning breeze blew, bringing with it the smell of burnt.
The fire in the camp has been extinguished, and only some places are still smoking. The dreadnought soldiers were happily collecting their catches, and from time to time a group of captives hung their heads and walked into the distance.
Last night, Wu Jian always sat upright on the horse and did not cut a knife. This is one of the few times since he entered Kuntianzhou that he did not go into battle in person.
Looking at Wu Gan who was sitting firmly on the horse, these fearless soldiers had more respect in their eyes, especially those prisoners captured from various families, who could win such a big victory for the first time as a dreadnought, which extinguished some of the careful thoughts in their hearts.
The prestige of a general does not depend only on strict military discipline, and only when he can win a battle can his subordinates truly agree.
Jumping off his horse, Wu Jian did not enter the camp, but walked to a small tent standing on a high place, which his subordinates had prepared for themselves. It's on a high slope, and the wind is a little stronger, just to blow away the smell of blood.
The battle is over, and the enemy has been completely annihilated, so there are only a dozen personal soldiers here watching.
In the tent, Wu Gen took off his helmet and prepared to rest for a while. Gao Jing walked in with a bowl of porridge, and his hair was burned to the ground.
According to Wu Gan's military order, Lingyun Eight Cavalry had to participate in the charge last night, so Gao Jing became like this.
Putting the bowl down, Gao Jing respectfully withdrew.
Wu Yan smiled slightly and picked up the bowl containing the porridge. As soon as it was brought to his mouth, a bright light suddenly reflected in the soup of the porridge.
When it fell, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered in half, and the porridge was spilled on the floor.
