Chapter 120, Night Attack

There is a river in the northern Khitan region, named "Sanggan", from east to west, there are several tributaries, and the gray river is one of them.

The gray river runs through the Khitan and Qingguo in the north, the west of the river passes through Suzhou, and there is another tributary called the Qing River in the east of the river for dozens of miles, and the gray river goes out of the Sanggan branch together.

Dozens of miles to the east of the flat land more than hills, can go directly to Qingguo Yanmen Pass, the pass faces the plastic state, the back of the Taihang.

Originally built in the Warring States Period, after the Great Qin swept Liuhe, repelled the barbarians, built the Great Wall, set up thirteen passes, with the passage of time, the change of dynasties, Yanmen Pass was repeatedly washed in the war, and was praised by later generations as: "Nine stops in the world, Yanmen is the head" and "the first pass in China".

Just after the ugly hour, the night was deep, there was a handful of people and horses in the sixteen states of Khitan Yanyun along the gray river north, there were two horses in front to explore the road, and one horse in the back to finish, and there were five horses every hundred steps in the middle.

This is the standard "march of wolves", the pathfinder is light and strong, and the finisher must be the one who overpowers the heroes.

According to the cage statistics, there are about thirty or forty rides, they hide all the way from villages, avoid small towns, and pick rare places to walk, the speed is extremely fast, the whole process of gesture communication, silent and silent, and even the horse's mouth is wrapped with a rope to prevent neighing.

In this way, he traveled to the mouth of the Shahe River in the territory of the sixteen states of Khitan, turned around and dived eastward into the vast loess land.

Although it is late at night, where can it be dark and thorough in July, the earth under the twinkling stars is slightly bright, the land is sparsely populated as far as the eye can see, the loess is in patches, there is less green plants and moisture along the river, and suddenly the air is a lot drier.

In this way, you can reach Yanmen Pass by going dozens of miles to the east, and I don't know what the battle situation at the pass is, and whether the supporting Changning army has arrived.

However, the group was so swaggering and surprisingly smooth in enemy territory that everyone was surprised.

What they didn't know was that as they headed east from the mouth of the Shahe River, a pair of eyes were secretly watching.

Those eyes were hidden in the depths of the night, silently, even if Zhao Zhengli sensed the eight directions with Taoism throughout the whole process, he didn't notice his existence.

A group of people climbed over the hills, crossed the plains, and drove straight into the direction of Yanmen Pass, and the traces left by the Khitan Rongjia march could be vaguely seen on the road.

The man who had been broken raised his whip to urge the horse into the front, raised his hand to signal to stop advancing, he was dressed in soft armor, lined with green shirts, handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, it was the commander of this mission, Zhao Zhengli.

The cavalryman who had been exploring the road said in a low voice: "Dutong, the little one will go ahead to explore the road first?" ”

Zhao Zhengli nodded in approval, and then called another spy, so that the two of them were separated by a hundred steps before and after, echoing each other.

The two of them were ordered to go, and the remaining dozens of horsemen rested in place and waited for orders.

The spy went out for about two quarters of an hour and did not come back, Zhao Zhengli immediately looked around with his way, and let him sweep the radius for two or three miles without seeing a figure, out of the monk's sixth sense to realize that the situation was wrong.

He immediately ordered the forty horsemen to replenish their physical strength, tighten their state of preparation, set up a formation to move forward, and respond to possible changes at any time.

Less than five miles away, he saw the fallen horse and the spy from a distance, but the horse and the spy seemed to have been cut in half by a sharp weapon.

Blood is all over the ground, silently, and even still in a state of riding, how fast is this? How fast is the knife?

The opponent is by no means a layman, and what puzzles Zhao Zhengli is that even his breath does not fluctuate throughout the whole process.

The forty horsemen behind him were all horrified when they saw this, they were all the best in the military camp, they had been on the battlefield for less than ten years and eight years, they had never seen any strong winds and waves, and the scene in front of them understood that the enemy tonight was definitely not something they could contend with.

They all looked at Zhao Dutong in unison, trying to find a chance of winning from the face of his cultivator.

However, at this time, Zhao Dutong was staring at the distance of a hundred steps ahead, because there was a second horse spy lying there, which was also cut in half.

He took a deep breath and concluded: "The other party is proficient in assassination, and the number is not superior, as long as the phalanx is assembled and does not act alone, it is difficult for me Zhao Zhengli to ensure that you are not harmed." ”

The forty cavalry immediately formed a formation, and Zhao Dutong made the central formation to ensure that all the soldiers were within the range of Dao Xing's perception.

"Whoosh!"

It was only half a mile away, and there was a silver needle in the sky above the night, and the target was locked on to Zhao Dutong, the center of the formation.

"Bang!"

Zhao Zheng didn't raise his head, pointed to the sky with one hand, and a true qi finger force rose into the air, and the silver needle met in an instant, and the night sky exploded with a bang.

"Woo Woo Woo"

Then Zhao Zhengli followed the wave to discuss the source, raised his sword and slashed out hundreds of thousands of sword qi towards the night sky where the silver needle fell, and it was densely packed like a sky net, and there was a pre-potential to capture the stars, which was the second step of the fearless Dan method "turning ten thousand together".

One finger and one sword in one go, the sword strikes the sky and disappears into the night.

The forty soldiers who formed the formation at the bottom looked up in the air, and vaguely saw the drizzle falling one after another, and it fell on their faces with their bare hands like scarlet blood.

Zhao Zhengli frowned, the other party absconded with blood, and he was not seen from beginning to end, and his light work was really powerful.

He no longer stopped rashly, commanded the troops to close to Yanmen Pass, and did not dare to let the spies go to find the way, so he had to roughly estimate the rear camp of the Khitan, and take advantage of the night to raid the enemy's rear, hoping to seize the eve of the killer's report.

Forty elite cavalry soldiers put on armor, war horses put on iron armor, held Jin Ge spears, crossbows and swords on their backs, galloped across iron horses, and rolled up loess in the night.

There was a faint firelight beating in the hills at the end of the east, Zhao Zhengli did not pounce directly, but formed a formation to watch, the watchtower flickered in the firelight, and there were velvet soldiers patrolling back and forth.

According to the Khitan marching arrangement, there are light and dark triple sentry towers in a radius of 20 miles in the camp, and there are three light and dark sentry towers in the bright five miles, which is the outermost sentry tower.

If it is to break through the sentry tower, after the attack of more than 20 miles, the Khitan has been prepared in advance, in order to have a surprise effect, you must enter the Khitan camp unexpectedly, and before that, you have to consider how to solve the light and dark sentry tower and patrol velvet armor.

After half a circle, I finally chose to start with the southern hills.

Just after the end of the 28th, the sky seemed to be bright and not bright, and the breeze blew through the Khitan sentry tower, and the sentry just exhaled in the wind, and then froze inexplicably, as if he was frozen and motionless.

The other two saw that he had not moved for a few breaths, so they stepped forward to check, only to see that there were flying insects in the night sky, the speed was extremely fast, and it flashed by, and the next moment the two of them also did not move.

The three of them stood upright on the watchtower, and after a long time, there were pinhole-sized blood stains spilling out of their eyebrows, which were penetrated by wisps of true qi, and the velvet soldiers who were patrolling back and forth did not know that the three of them had lost their breath of life.

At that time, Zhao Zhengli and others, who entered the range of the watchtower, were ready to rush and kill at any time.

Forty horsemen just passed the outermost guard tower, the patrol velvet soldiers saw a person from a distance staggering coming, several people approached on guard, saw that the person was covered in blood, the waist covered by both hands was almost broken, blood continued to gush out, serious blood loss caused the face to be pale, more out of breath and less in, completely dying.

It's hard to imagine how he survived and staggered to this day.

The velvet soldier roughly judged his identity from his Khitan costume, and the Khitan voice was as thin as a mosquito: "There is a night attack, there is a night attack!" ”

The velvet soldiers suddenly rushed to the sentry tower and asked the sentry on the high place about the enemy, but there was no response after several calls, and the sentry remained motionless like a log.

The velvet soldiers were in a hurry, climbed the sentry tower, and as soon as the three of them touched and fell, the velvet soldiers suddenly felt cold on their backs, and beat the war drums to send a message.

At that time, Zhao Zhengli and his entourage have passed the second clear whistle, two dark whistles, and the Khitan camp is not more than ten miles, hearing the sound of war drums, they immediately raised their whips to urge the horses, showing bright spears and spears.

Forty horsemen are like divine soldiers descending from the sky, directly breaking through the third sentry tower to kill in the direction of the Khitan camp, dozens of tents are stationed inside and outside, troops are stationed outside, and grain is stored inside.

When the night guards heard the war drums, they immediately beat the gong, and the camp and the camp immediately hurried to meet the battle.

In the panic, the velvet soldiers only saw forty horsemen rushing into the camp in a formation of iron horses, blood splattered everywhere they passed, the tents collapsed, the flames were blazing, and they held high torches and went straight to the central grain and grass camp.

All the way, the velvet soldiers were like moths to the fire, blocking them with their bodies, but they collided with the iron horse like a mantis arm blocking the car, and they perished in vain.

When the grain and grass camp was lit with a raging fire, tens of thousands of Khitan generals who broke the city overnight in the direction of Yanmen Pass raised their eyes and looked at it, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

On the wall of Yanmen Pass, the fat and honest General Pang Luyi laughed heartily, and shouted three times in a row, so that the left and right generals announced the whole army, and Zhao Dutong made a roundabout night attack on the enemy's rear and achieved great success, and thousands of soldiers were overjoyed when they heard it, and their morale was high.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately ordered to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and attacked with Zhao Dutong's 400 elite soldiers inside and outside.

The soldiers were startled again, and forty men expanded to four hundred? Could it be that you have received support on the way? In this way, the soldiers are even more victorious.

The morale of the Khitan is declining, and the Qingguo is getting higher and higher, and thousands of people have made tens of thousands of soldiers cowardly.

The city gate was wide open, the two armies were fighting, and there was also a faint horse's hoof fighting behind the Khitan, and the Khitan was even more panicked.

At the end of the day, at dawn, there was a morning glow floating mountain top in the east, the two armies outside the Yanmen Pass were in a scuffle, and tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers learned that the camp was burned, completely out of proportion, and the army's heart was defeated like a mountain, like a group of beasts in a panic, and was cut and eaten back and forth by the high-morale Qingguo.

At that time, there will be a Khitan man wearing battle armor, wearing a velvet hat, and a brocade hat with a brocade hair on the top of the hat holding a double-edged spear high and shouting: "The whole army has an order, form a formation, a team of five, and move towards the center!" ”

This person is the Khitan Shuanglong who is as famous as Yeluhe, Wanyan Shi, who was brought up by Yeluxiao, a great teacher, and it is not too much to say that he is his "godson".

When the morale of the army is distracted and the direction is not debated, in order to prevent the enemy from cutting off and encroaching, getting closer can solve the urgent need, not to mention that the own side has a numerical advantage, and with a slight adjustment, it can counterattack.

Tens of thousands of velvet soldiers seemed to find a ray of sunshine in the dark night, and assembled to the center in an orderly manner.

In this way, thousands of people in Qingguo made difficulties, but they still had an advantage, but they didn't have the pleasure of killing earlier.

After the Khitan assembly is closer, the army has lost more than forty percent, and the army's morale is unstable, if it is forced to counterattack at this moment, it will only give Qingguo another opportunity to eat.

Wan Yanshi was even more furious when he saw the dozens of iron horsemen in the rear, and looked at the Yanmen Pass, which was almost broken, and was unwilling to lead the whole army to break through to the camp on the west side.

The forty iron horsemen looked at the black wool soldiers coming, and they were stunned for a while, even if they stretched out their heads and cut them one by one, they had to be tired to death of the forty iron horsemen, not to mention that the other party rushed to kill with anger.

After all, their forty iron horsemen attacked the camp at night and burned grain and grass, how can they make the Khitan more than 10,000 velvet armor not resentful.

With such a scene, Zhao Zhengli in the Grandmaster Realm felt a chill on his back.

The people of all armies, if they move forward, they will only give away their heads in vain, who dares to stop under the land immortals? .

In the face of an invincible situation, thirty-six strategies, go for the top plan.

Zhao Zhengli immediately ordered the whole army to remove their armor and cover the horses, reduce the burden and escape, so as to drag the Khitan army, and then take the opportunity to move, and at the same time facilitate the pursuit and killing of Qingguo in the rear.

In the early morning, the early sun rose, on the loess land in the northwest, the forty cavalry lost their helmets and fled from east to west, and the rear of the ten thousand army velvet armor pursued, and there were thousands of Qingguo soldiers behind the ten thousand army velvet armor to chase and kill.

When the forty cavalry visited the Khitan camp again, they picked up their spears and spears and ruthlessly killed the remaining velvet soldiers, only to make the Khitan army in the rear mad and curse.

The sky is full of dust, you chase me and escape, so the picture has become one of the few scenery in the northwest.
