? Chapter 367: The sky is full of fire and rain like stars
There is a first quarter moon in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth, and everything is like a layer of moonlight on the 'cloud', hazy and quiet.
In the moonlight, the two huge company camps, as if they were two sleeping monsters, in the dark, exuding a dangerous atmosphere, occasionally, in the two huge barracks, there are soldiers patrolling with torches passing by, and the jumping fire light cuts through the coldness, so that people feel that the giant beast in the dark is not completely dormant.
Between the two military camps, no matter which side it is, it has sent its own scouts, or rangers, although the number is not much, but it is enough to send a warning signal to the battalion when encountering some unexpected situations. Mu Shi's subordinates and Azig's subordinates also had them, and they either flashed in the open space, or quietly lurked in some grass and dirt pit, immersing their senses in the darkness, searching for any movement that might be caused by the enemy.
In this silence, the camp of the Fengzi battalion squeaked, and dozens of soldiers opened the main 'door' of the camp with a bang, and then rushed forward in one go, moving aside all the things that were blocking the horses and other things that were blocked outside. Then, I saw a group of knights with torches rushing out of the camp, spreading like a wind around the big gate.
Then, in the crisp sound of horses' hooves, there was the sound of weapons colliding, accompanied by a rapid scream, and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away.
Rong Qi's mount was less than a hundred meters in front of the 'gate' of this camp, and more knights were still coming out of the camp in front of him and behind him.
From the very beginning of the order he received, he knew that such an action could not cover up the traces, as long as he moved this brigade, in less than a moment, the Tartar on the opposite side would know, this know, Mu Shi also knew, all, Mu Shi clearly told him, no need to worry about movement. The standard weapon of the horse team is the three-eyed firearm, and the other long knives and spears are just auxiliaries, if the firearms are abandoned for fear of 'getting' the movement, it will undoubtedly restrain the combat power of the horse team.
Therefore, since it is impossible to cover up the movement, then, simply compare the speed and reaction with the other party, and make the ears and eyes of these enemies outside clear as soon as possible, and then, so the people quickly enter the combat position, this is Mu Shi's idea. Think about your side, when you first heard about the night attack of the Tartars, wasn't your first reaction to defend the camp and beware of the Tartars taking advantage of the darkness to attack?
In such a night, the Tartars will not be reckless in sending men and horses out of the camp without using to 'figure out' the outside, their reaction must be to hold the camp, and the defensive means used, needless to think, must be bows and arrows and firearms, but can the range of the Tartars' bows and arrows and firecrackers be compared with a swarm of bees? As long as a swarm of bees enters the 'firing' range and 'shoots' rockets into the Tartar camp, even if they are determined, facing the camp burning everywhere, I am afraid they will 'chaos'!
"Tell Liu Qianhu that the enemy's eyes and ears have been cleared!" The knights ran farther and farther away in the dark, and the screams in the darkness became less and less, regardless of whether these people had sent the news back to the other party's camp before they died, but, at least after they died, what happened here, the people in the enemy's camp, there was no way to know.
As the heralds ran back, within a while, a large number of soldiers and guards, escorting a large number of carts, ran out from behind, and on the carts were the protagonists of this night attack.
Rong Qi looked back at the back, the corners of his mouth slightly 'revealed' a sneer, pulled the reins of the horse, and slowly ran towards the darkness in front of him, slowly disappearing into the night.
"Hurry, hurry!" The officers kept urging, and the speed of the whole foot soldier was entirely dependent on the speed of their carts, and they knew that these firearms could only be used to their fullest effect before the Tartars had not left the camp and brought them to the 'gate' of the Tartars, otherwise they would be useless in this night's 'color' and in a sudden encounter.
"A stick of incense, it gives Lao Tzu a stick of incense time, you are dead, you have to die for me to die in front of the Tartar camp in front, don't fucking be so soft!" The officer of the craftsman battalion, who was smiling on weekdays, also had a hideous face at the moment, "Otherwise, before Lao Tzu was sent to the marching law, his military law was carried out first!" ”
Where can the soldiers still hear the angry shouts of their officials at this moment, one by one they bow their heads, and even the strength to eat 'milk' comes out, pushing the cart forward with difficulty, and in the night', this day does not seem to be a long journey, which makes people feel so long.
"How much longer?" Mu Shi was dressed in military uniform, looking at his front camp, in front of him and behind him, there were heavily armed soldiers, and when he looked up, there were torches lit in front of him.
"It's only been half a pillar of incense, and it's almost two o'clock!"
"Well, after Liu Xiaoliu's people all go up, leave a gap of two hundred steps, and our people will go up again, don't follow too closely, let alone 'mess', tell the soldiers, follow the people around you!"
"Understood, let's go!"
Mu Shi's face was very calm, in fact, he was more anxious than anyone else, the most important thing in this night attack was not the face-to-face fight, but whether Liu Xiaoliu could transport a swarm of bees and tiger squatting cannons to the front of the Tartar camp on time, if this fire could not be put out, he had no chance of winning the attack behind, if he really wanted to be sure, it was only half and half, half relied on the soldiers' lives, and half relied on God to give face.
There is also a half-pillar of incense, there seems to be no movement on the Tartar side, they will not send a man and horse, come out to test, if this swarm of bees does not arrive in the place, it will be intercepted, then today can be said to be stealing 'chickens' and rice.
In the camp of the Tartars, Azig has already been called up by his own soldiers, only the blind man can not see the bright lights and earth-shattering movements on the opposite side, as the commander of the first army, Azig's first reaction to receiving the news is that the enemy came to steal the camp.
However, as he went out, his subordinates reported the situation outside round by round, and he began to be 'confused' again.
The so-called stealing camp, this stealing word, as the name suggests, is definitely not like the other party with such fanfare for fear that the opponent will not know, since he has discovered the other party's movements, he will naturally have a guard immediately, what is the point of the other party doing this?
Could it be that it is a 'riot' and wants to exhaust our army? Azig immediately came to his senses, but in his military career, if the other party was 'disturbed', he must be three or five soldiers, gongs, drums, suona or something, and he could toss as much movement as he could, but this look is not very similar!
"Where's Soretai? Tell him to take people to the army, and if there is any noise and noise, they will all be beheaded, Doni, Doni, your people are on full alert, and you will lead people, go to help Doni, and send more arrows to the front! ”
No matter how suspicious he is, however, the orders in his mouth are still issued in a series, Zhuge is only cautious in his life, what is wrong with prudence, prudence can live long enough, no matter what these Ming troops want to do, I am immovable like a mountain, and it is the king to be quiet.
However, he was still a little uneasy, after issuing this series of orders, he decided to go to the front to see, the Ming army who dared to steal the camp, he saw it for the first time, although he felt that he had valued these Ming troops enough, but he now felt that his attention was still not enough.
At the front is the tiger squat cannon, more than 40 'door' tiger squat cannons, dragged down from the cart by the soldiers, two rows of 'intertwined' placed on the ground, fully spread out a width of fifty or sixty steps. The distance between the two rows is about ten paces, which is already the limit, and no matter how close, the gunner in front, after firing the cannon, I am afraid that there will be no room to dodge.
This position is only about two hundred steps away from the Tartar camp, and these soldiers who are busy fixing the tiger squat cannon can even see the face under the Tartar torch on the opposite side, but they also know that after deliberately extinguishing the torch on their side, the other party will not see what they are busy with here.
Behind the tiger squat cannon, the black pressure squatting on the ground is a swarm of bees that have already been loaded, just waiting for the ignition to 'shoot', in such darkness, whether it is a tiger squat cannon or a swarm of bees, it is impossible to reload again, to say that the luxury point, this is a 'sex'. Also, it is very important to note that if the other arms cannot achieve victory after the 'shooting' is completed, but are repelled by the Tartars, these slow firearms will undoubtedly be handed over to the Tartars, and no one can take on this responsibility.
All, this is an adventure, it is a big adventure of the Western Route Army, from Mushi to all thousands of households. Although the risks are high, the rewards are also very expected. All the people were waiting for the sight of ten thousand arrows firing and the enemy camp blazing.
"What do these Ming dogs want to do, stupid like pigs and dogs, still rely on those foot soldiers to sneak attack our camp?" Doni spat fiercely to the side: "If it weren't for the prince's strict order, I would have to go out and kill someone!" ”
"Don't be underestimated, Dhoni!" Hedu is still that elegant: "You also saw it during the day, the other party's general is not a brave and unscrupulous person, let's just guard this big camp, as for competing with him, I have my own Amma, you don't need to 'worry' about it!" ”
"I'm ....." Doni didn't finish a sentence, suddenly dumbfounded, and the degree was a little strange, looking at him, only to see him with his mouth wide open, staring blankly at the sky in front of him.
He Du looked at him and couldn't help but be stunned, in the sky, as if the stars had suddenly fallen, countless burning fire points were rushing towards them, and looking at the range, the entire camp was enveloped in it!
"Enemy attack!" Doni suddenly shouted like a madman, but Kazudo didn't care, and directly tore him off the horse, and the surroundings were bare, except for those simple tents and wooden fences, there was no place to hide.
The soldiers who were guarding them leaned towards them, and he shouted, "Disperse, disperse, hide, gather together as targets!" As he shouted, he hurriedly removed the cowhide shield from his horse, and seeing his movements, Doni also came to his senses and hurried to find his shield.
The rain of fire in the sky, in their movements, finally fell!
