Chapter 1326: Storming the camp on a rainy night
After the siege equipment was damaged, the artillery fire continued to extend, causing a large number of casualties among the Rus' soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lemon would become the target of other people's cannons, and his own artillery had no time to arrange a counterattack, so he could only order the troops to be withdrawn and set up camp after withdrawing for several miles.
In such a short period of time, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and almost all siege vehicles and catapults were lost......
It is said that since the beginning of the landing operation, he has only suffered a few thousand casualties in total, and now he has lost 2,000 people in just one battle, and it seems that he has met a real opponent this time.
Fortunately, their logistical assistance was very good, and the wounded soldiers here retreated, and the Yanyun medical team immediately transported them all to the rear for treatment in a cart, although they were defeated, but they also stabilized the morale of the army to a great extent.
Officer Yan Yun, who was in charge of logistics and transportation, asked Lemon if he wanted to bring the hundred ironclad ballistas?
This was originally a well-intentioned suggestion, because with the ironclad crossbow cart pressing the formation, his camp could be stabilized, otherwise it would be difficult to resist if the Dongying people counterattacked and charged the camp.
But Lemmon thought that the officer was mocking him, and not only did he not accept his kindness, but also scolded him.
Although it was a small defeat, it was expected that he would never dare to go out of the city so far to attack my camp, and if he dared to come, he would definitely wipe it out!
We also have musket crossbows, so we don't need your crossbows!
Unexpectedly, this officer was originally Wei Yuntian's subordinate, and as we all know, Wei Yuntian is a crow's mouth, and he has always spoken as a good and not a bad spirit......
That night, it suddenly rained heavily, thunder and lightning, and clouds were so thick that I couldn't see my fingers, and the visibility was almost zero.
Although the Rus' soldiers patrolling outside the camp had their eyes widened, they really couldn't see their surroundings clearly in this bad weather.
It wasn't until a group of black-clad Dongying soldiers approached a few meters away like ghosts that they suddenly realized that they wanted to warn but it was too late, and they were all shot to the ground in the sound of whizzing crossbow arrows.
These Dongying soldiers are also very strange, they only have a black coat on their bodies, no armor, and straw sandals on their feet, and they are all bald!
They are famous monks and soldiers in Dongying, although these guys are monks, they are extremely brave in battle, and they are also skilled in martial arts.
After more than 200 people sneaked into Lemon's camp like ghosts, they scattered like rats, and they didn't have any tactics at all, anyway, they would kill anyone they saw anyway!
There is no need to be afraid to recognize the wrong person in the dark, because you can tell whether it is friend or foe just by looking at your head. And when they came, they dared to kill to the death, and they had no intention of going back......
There were alarms in the camp, and Lemon in his sleep suddenly woke up, and he rushed outside with a knife without even bothering to put on his shoes, but was grabbed by Xiao Ye and thrown back like a chicken.
"What are you doing?" Lemmon was furious.
"The situation outside is unknown, and I can't go out." Xiao Ye said lightly, "You are the main general, you can't have an accident." ”
"Nonsense, they are stealing camps, and this is the most dangerous place!" Lemmon said that we are in the main account of the Chinese army, and the primary assassination target for the enemy to infiltrate in, you kid doesn't understand anything.
"We're here, it's fine." Xiao Ye said.
Yama next to him glanced at him and said, "General Lemon, you better put on your clothes first, and it's better to put on your armor." ”
"Where's my own soldier?" Lemon saw twenty heavily armed horsemen standing in the dark tent, but none of his own soldiers were there.
"Oh, they're all out there." Yama Dao.
"Why don't you go out?" Lemmon asked.
"It's raining too hard outside...... "Yama would never tell him that we were afraid of getting our clothes wet."
Twenty tall horsemen surrounded Lemon in the middle, while Xiao Ye stood at the door of the big tent, carrying a musket in one hand, listening to the movement outside.
Although the shouts of killing were everywhere, they were all far away, after all, this was Lemon's Chinese army tent, guarded by hundreds of soldiers outside, theoretically it was impossible for anyone to kill them, but theoretically......
Suddenly, there was a crisp hissing sound, and the thick cowhide tent above his head was slashed open, and then two black thunderbolts were dropped, and they exploded twice, and the tent was immediately filled with gunsmoke.
A dark shadow descended from the sky, holding a short knife in his hand, and pounced on Lemon condescendingly!
But only two gunshots were heard, and the black shadow let out a miserable scream in mid-air, and two blood flowers bloomed on his chest, and he was already out of breath when he slammed to the ground.
Yama flew up and kicked his body out of the tent, shouting in Rus's dialect, "Watch out there...... Boss, good marksmanship! ”
The latter sentence is a slap on Xiao Ye's ass, because it was Xiao Ye who shot just now.
Although Lemon was scared into a cold sweat, he was also unharmed, because the two thunder bombs just now were dropped, and he was directly thrown to the ground by Yama, and his huge body protected his whole body.
The power of the thunder fire bullet is very average, and the Yama and their cavalry guards are all heavily armored, and a small shrapnel can't penetrate it at all.
"What kind of person is this, so powerful?" Lemmon forced his composure, but in fact, he was shocked in his heart, the outside were all his own soldiers, and it was really terrifying that this person could still get close.
"I think it's a ninja." Xiao Ye said.
Xiao Ye had encountered a ninja before, so when he saw the person's outfit just now, he knew that it was a ninja.
But this is not an ordinary ninja, but a kind of ninja, called War Ninja!
Not only are they proficient in all kinds of ninjutsu, they can perform various assassination and assassination missions, and they can even go into battle against the enemy, using the cover of various ninjutsu to take the head of the general in the midst of thousands of troops!
It belongs to the more special existence among ninjas.,It's also the elite of the elite in the Toei army.。
But the number of this elite-level battle ninja is very small, and there are no more than 100 people under the command of a general-level general, because the terrain of Anyue City is extremely critical, so it is equipped with twenty guards.
There were only five of them just now, and one of them was able to rush into Lemon's tent under the cover of the harassment of the monks and soldiers, although he was shot by Xiao Ye, it was quite awesome!
In this night raid, the Dongying people killed more than 500 Rus' soldiers, including three school officers, and the losses were quite heavy.
However, the five warriors and the two hundred monks who attacked were all wiped out, and the battle was quite tragic.
After these two battles, Lemon didn't dare to despise the other party anymore, so he sent people to the rear to transfer ironclad ballistas overnight, or to make his camp stronger first, and then ask for some ironclad siege vehicles to Yanyun's army......
It seems that this battle can't be resolved quickly no matter what, but I don't know if Wei Yuntian and they will also encounter setbacks when they go to attack Fengshan City?
So when it comes to war, sometimes you have to try your luck.
It may also be that with the blessing of Xiao Chen, the boss who came with the army, he has always had good luck, and the battle against Fengshan City was surprisingly smooth......
