Volume 4 Southwest Strategy Chapter 277 The First Battle of Hezhou City (5)
The screams instantly rang out.
The hundred and ten warriors who rushed to the forefront bore the brunt of the attack, and were overturned by the rain of arrows, like wheat that had been cut down.
And the soldiers in the rear, there were also many arrows, some screamed, and some dodged to the rear and left and right in a hurry, which made the already not too neat queue even more chaotic.
But there was more than one rain of arrows, and after a few pauses in breathing, countless arrows flew through the air, and they screamed again, so that they could only retreat in a hurry.
"The Han people are cunning, we attack from both sides!" Someone has retreated, and on the other hand, he has changed his tactics.
These barbarians also knew that charging the arrow formation head-on would only increase casualties, and they had to find another way.
Moreover, they also felt that what the Vietnamese army relied on was nothing more than more abundant arrows, as long as they could rush into the camp, they could instantly break the enemy and slaughter them.
As the order was given, the whistles and shouts continued, and the thousands of men and horses really quickly divided into two teams and made a detour to attack from both sides of the camp.
After all, the archers in the Vietnamese army are also limited, and it is impossible to blockade three sides without any mistakes.
"Chen Qingyun!" Sun Ning decisively decided to change his tactics and immediately gave an order.
"The last general!"
"You lead the soldiers of the third brigade to the left, lean against the wall to defend it, and be sure to block their strong attack!"
"The last will obey." Chen Qingyun immediately responded with his fists clenched, turned around and called the three brigade commanders, asked them to follow him, and rushed to the left-hand side to guard the door.
"Xiao Keding, you lead the three brigades to guard the right, can you do it?" Sun Ning continued to assign tasks.
"The minister's decree will not dare to be lost!" Xiao Keding immediately said in a solemn voice.
Maybe he was still worried about this sudden night battle, but now, it has to be done.
"Yanhu, you take two brigades and sit inside the camp just in case!"
"You understand, what about Your Majesty?" While Yan Hu agreed, he suddenly thought that the emperor seemed to have other deep meanings, and hurriedly asked.
"Naturally, I will take the remaining brigade to kill them by surprise!" Sun Ning's eyes flashed with murderous energy.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be too risky? Why don't you let the ministers attack, you can sit in the camp......"
"This is a military order, and it is a will, and it cannot be shirked!" Sun Ning didn't give him a chance to say more, and stared at him, so that Yan Hu could only bow his head and obey.
There was not much time for them to elaborate, and after Sun Ning issued these military orders, he pointed to one of the brigade commanders: "You, follow me out of the camp." Remember, let the whole army be quiet, and don't make too much noise. ”
"Obey the order!" The brigade commander's body was shocked, and his face was flushed with excitement.
Just now, I watched His Majesty lead two brigades of soldiers out of the camp to kill the enemy, and beat a thousand barbarians, but he was envious, and thought about how good it would be if he could be in it.
Unexpectedly, it was only less than an hour, and the opportunity came.
But no matter how excited he was, he didn't dare to spoil the big thing, so he quickly turned around and gathered his soldiers and horses, and then followed Sun Ning and Xiao Qian, who also drew their swords in their hands, and quietly walked out of the main gate of the camp.
At this time, there was no trace of the enemy in front of the camp, except for a few guys who were not killed by arrows, they were still screaming and moaning on the ground, and there were no more barbarians who could not stand.
Then, these people saw a group of Vietnamese soldiers silently come out and quickly come to them.
Without any mercy, under Sun Ning's instructions, the generals did not hesitate to kill all the wounded soldiers in front of them, leaving no one behind.
And just as these barbarian wounded soldiers let out a few screams, as if they were intent on delivering news to their companions in other positions, the sound of killing on both sides of the camp rose again, completely drowning out their faint screams.
Sun Ning listened carefully to the killing sounds on both sides, and his expression was surprisingly solemn.
To be honest, he didn't have any preparations for this battle.
In his expectation, he should wait until after dawn tomorrow to fight the barbarians of Hezhou head-on.
At that time, he will use the changes in the military formation trained by the Japanese battalion to compete with the enemy, and use this to defeat the five more powerful bear divisions.
But the night attack of the barbarians completely disrupted this plan, and it could only be hastily changed to meet the enemy.
Fortunately, these soldiers are quite tenacious, and they did not get out of place because they first entered the battlefield, and they did not have a fear of barbarians like other Yuzhou soldiers and horses.
And these barbarians are not as terrible as they imagined, especially their tactics, which are simple and direct, so they give themselves the opportunity to use their tactics to break them.
Presumably they never dreamed that Zhuji would take the initiative to go out of the camp and launch a sneak attack from behind.
"Go to the right! Try to keep your foot light and try to get close to them! After Sun Ning gave the order, he had already bent down, tried to get on the ground as much as possible, and then walked forward quickly.
Xiao Qian and the others followed him and made a detour to the right.
While walking, Xiao Qian looked at Sun Ning from time to time, if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't speak out, she wanted to ask Sun Ning where he had learned the tactics and methods of sneak attacks after the rear.
Of course, she didn't know that in her previous life, as an ace in the mercenaries, Sun Ning had no less command team to use such a strategy to catch the enemy off guard.
Only this time, he brought more people with him, and the distance he could attack was shorter......
At this time, the fighting on both sides of the Vietnamese camp had quickly entered a white heat.
This time, the barbarians who had suffered losses in a row finally let go of their hands and feet, although there were still arrows shooting out of the camp, but after being prepared, they completely blocked the front with shields, and then a large number of men and horses followed behind, quickly rushed forward, and rushed to the front of the camp.
As for the trench dug around the camp, a passage was filled in after dozens of barbarian warriors fell. Killing the red eyes, they didn't care about any casualties at this time, they just wanted to kill into the camp to take revenge on the Vietnamese army.
It's just that when they really killed in front of the camp and wanted to destroy the wall with weapons such as knives and axes, they still encountered the full resistance of the Vietnamese army.
Generals Xiao Keding and Chen Qingyun personally rushed to the front line, commanding the officers and men of each brigade to form a formation and block the enemy's march route.
After a fight, people on both sides kept falling.
However, relying on the familiarity of the situation and the cooperation of the comrades in the formation, the damage of the defenders on both sides was obviously lower than that of the enemy.
And as the battle progressed, the cooperation between the brigades became more and more skilled, and the coordination between spears, swords and shields, and archers also became more and more tacit, making it difficult for the enemy to advance in the slightest.
"Patriarch, what should I do, I can't attack both sides for a long time......" A subordinate asked Xiong Kang, who had just retreated from the battlefield, with an annoyed face, he was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed.
"Attack again! Let them light a fire, I don't believe that if they set fire to this stockade, they can still hold it! Xiong Dare was also ruthless, and immediately gave an order.
But at the moment when he said this, behind him, there were screams and killing sounds at the same time......
