Chapter 270, Night Attack, Crushing of Equipment
The spies quietly touched the outside of the Hun camp, observed the soldiers patrolling inside and the layout of the camp, and then quietly returned to their original position.
"General, I can see clearly, these Hun patrols are completely irregular, the patrols of each tribe are completely different from the others, the first two tribes are the Tuli Department and the Evil Department of the Huns, both of which are large tribes in the Huns." The spy said.
"Are you sure?" Asked weakly.
"I'm sure that when my father was alive, he took me to the clouds to do business, and it happened that the Tuli Department and the Evil Department attacked Yunzhong, and my father also contracted the wind cold and died in this business, so I was very impressed, and it is impossible to be mistaken." The spy said.
"What about staffing?" Wang Ben asked.
"A team of five, two teams at a time." The spy said.
"General, are we going to have a night attack tonight?" Asked weakly.
"Did I bring the oil you brought?" Wang Ben asked.
"Brought, we put the oil in a jar, and each man carried one, a total of three hundred jars." Suddenly, he pulled out a jar from his waist.
"It's good to have it, pass on my order to everyone to disperse later, rush into the Huns' camp with me, smash all the canisters of fire oil on my body into these tents, and then retreat, understand?" Wang Ben said in a low voice.
"No!" Said weakly.
The soldiers in the front row conveyed Wang Ben's order to the rear, and when everyone heard the news, Wang Ben waved his hand, and five soldiers held bows and crossbows to advance towards the Xiongnu camp, and after reaching the appropriate position, the five people opened their bows and arrows and aimed their arrows at the Hun soldiers standing guard above.
"Whoosh~"
Five feathered arrows were inserted into the top to observe the Hun soldiers around, Wang Ben saw that the Hun soldiers in the high place were disposed of, and immediately rushed towards the front with the soldiers who were already preparing to mount behind him.
The galloping sound of the horses alarmed the patrolling soldiers, but before they had time to inquire about the situation, they were shot by the soldiers who touched into the Xiongnu camp with feather arrows, in an instant, Wang Ben and the soldiers had rushed into the Xiongnu camp, the sound of horses galloping woke up the sleeping Hun soldiers, and the soldiers on duty at night rushed out of the camp tent with weapons, and were shot by the Qin cavalry with bows and arrows as soon as they rushed out of the camp.
"Fight quickly and throw all the oil out!" Wang Ben killed the Hun soldiers who rushed to his side with a sword and said.
Suddenly, he smashed the canister of fire oil on his waist towards a tent, the jar suddenly cracked, and the fire oil in it was sprinkled on the tent, and the other cavalry did the same, three hundred fire oil cans were smashed open in the soil and the evil department, and a fire oil tank smashed on the grass shed and cracked, and the sleeping horses below were suddenly awakened, and the pungent smell of fire oil wafted throughout the entire camp. The Hun soldiers also woke up one after another and besieged the Qin cavalry, and the two sides immediately fought chaotically.
"Withdraw!!"
Seeing that the fire oil was almost spread, Wang Ben picked up the brazier around him with a sword and immediately ordered a retreat, and the other cavalry heard the order to retreat, and no longer fought with the Hun soldiers, and the cavalry with the brazier nearby also picked up the brazier and flew out, and under the help of the fire oil, the soil and the evil department were on fire.
Some of the soldiers who did not have time to break out of the camp were immediately surrounded by the flames, which spread rapidly to the surroundings under the blessing of the cold wind.
The fire alarmed other tribes nearby, the sound of the Qin army's night attack resounded throughout the Xiongnu camp, a large number of Xiongnu soldiers towards the Qin cavalry besieged, Wang Ben and Dun weakly led the cavalry to rush out of the camp, the sword in his hand continued to cut down the Xiongnu soldiers who besieged it.
At the head of the border city, General Chen was anxiously waiting for the news of the night attack, and suddenly looked at the fire from the Hun camp in the distance.
"General, do you see that the Hun camp is on fire?" The soldier on the side pointed in the direction of the fire.
General Chen glared at the soldier fiercely and said
"Nonsense, use what you say, Lao Tzu is not blind, come and mobilize a thousand cavalry to support General Wang Ben with me."
"General, if you all leave the border city, who will command you?" The adjutant general said with some concern.
General Chen Shou glanced at the lieutenant general, his expression was a little uncertain, he naturally knew what the lieutenant general was worried about, worried that if they couldn't come back, the entire border city would be leaderless. When Wang Ben took Dun Weak to attack the camp, he also said this, but was it not you who was used by Ton's weakness? I'm back.
"If we can't come back in time, the border city will be handed over to you, don't say much, today the Huns attacked the city and beat Lao Tzu is very aggrieved, Lao Tzu has been in the army for many years, and Lao Tzu has always led people to fight others, and has not been beaten by others like a turtle." After Chen Shoujiang finished speaking, he went directly down to the city.
As the gates of the border city were wide open, Chen Shou General rushed towards the Xiongnu camp with a thousand cavalry.
At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, the three hundred elite cavalry led by Wang Ben fell into a bitter battle.
Although the three hundred elite cavalry are all elite, but in the face of the large number of Hun soldiers, the casualties continue to rise, just when the Hun soldiers are about to form an encirclement of the Qin cavalry, the ground trembles slightly, and the sound of booming bang comes, for a while everyone stopped what they were doing, Wang Ben rode on the horse and looked at the fire in the distance, as if something was rushing out.
The ground was constantly shaking, and in the light of the fire, countless horses were disturbed by the fire and screamed, and the flames on the stables and the flames in the camp gradually merged, and more than 10,000 horses were frightened, and these horses rushed out of the flames in order to survive.
The encirclement that was about to be formed was suddenly broken by the horses rushing out of the fire, and in the face of the galloping of ten thousand horses, there was only one thought left in the minds of these Hun soldiers, that is, to run, and the entire Hun camp fell into turmoil under the dispersal of the horses, except for the Tuli Department and the Evil Department, the nearby tribal camps were attacked by frightened horses, and some soldiers who were sleeping in the tent were rushed into the tent by the frightened horses without the slightest preparation, and when they woke up, they saw the horses rushing towards them.
After the camp was in turmoil under the onslaught of the horses, everyone scrambled to flee, and the sound of cries, fires burning, and horses trampling soldiers was constantly heard.
"Brothers, come with me and kill them!"
Wang Ben saw that the Huns were confused, and his eyes were shining, and he immediately rushed towards the entrance of the camp, and the others immediately followed Wang Ben, and the rest of the cavalry still maintained the formation and broke through towards the periphery, and the Hun soldiers at the exit endured the fear in their hearts to face the battle.
The turmoil in the Tuli and Hun evil tribes triggered the entire Xiongnu camp, and Touman was also woken up by his subordinates.
"Da Danyu, the Qin army attacked the camp and set fire to the horse shed, and more than 10,000 horses from the Tuli and Hun evil tribes were frightened and rushed towards other tribes." The soldier said,
"The Qin army attacked the camp!? What do the patrolling people eat? Why did they still let them burn down the stable!? Touman said angrily.
The head of the escort with a golden knife at his waist on the side said
"Da Danyu, now is not the time to care about this, now should let people stabilize the camp."
Hearing the words of his golden sword guard, Touman calmed down and commanded
"Let Tu Li and Tu Qian take the royal court guards to stabilize the turmoil, and let the evil bones and lead people to guard outside the camp, and don't let the Qin army escape!"
"Yes, Da Shan Yu!"
The two golden sword guards beside Touman immediately followed Touman's words to convey the order. In the middle of Zuo Xianwang's department, Zuo Xianwang looked at the chaotic camp in front of him, and his face was full of sneers.
"King, do we need to go to the Tuli and the Evil Tribe?" King Zuoxian's Golden Sword Warrior said.
"To what? Da Shan Yu will naturally go to support them, Babalu, let our sons have a good rest, tomorrow we still have the task of besieging the city! King Zuo Xian sneered.
"Yes, my lord." Babaru glanced at the blazing camp and shook his head.
King Zuo Xian looked in the direction of the king's tent and whispered
"Touman, you don't worry about other tribes in front of you, let your cronies defend you, but you didn't expect to be smart but you were mistaken by being smart."
After speaking, King Zuo Xian returned to his tent without looking back.
At this time, Wang Ben led the cavalry to rush out of the camp, and the head man behind him sent people to chase and kill Wang Ben's evil bones and led the cavalry to chase after him. Looking at the Hun cavalry in hot pursuit, the cavalry of the Qin army took out a crossbow in their hands and pulled the trigger on the cavalry behind them.
The Hun cavalry who were shot by the crossbow arrows fell off their horses one after another, and the evil bone was a little surprised to see this scene, he didn't know why the cavalry of the Qin army had such a superb level of cavalry and archery, and ordered
"Archery!!"
The Hun cavalry shot arrows at the Qin army in front of them, the Huns' arrows shot at the Qin army as if they did not hit, the cavalry of the Qin army seemed to have nothing to do, and backhanded a burst of crossbow arrows, seeing this scene, the evil bones and the already shocked speechless, the same was true of the Hun cavalry beside him, and some of the Hun cavalry even shouted
"Monsters, the soldiers of the Qin army are all monsters!"
Distracted, the speed of the cavalry led by the evil bone slowed down, and he could only watch Wang Ben leave with the team. Wang Ben, who got rid of the pursuit of the Huns, saw the Chen Shou General who greeted him in front.
General Chen Shou looked at Wang Ben, who was covered in blood, and many soldiers and asked excitedly
"General, are you alright?"
"It's okay, the latest armor created by the male loser is easy to use, and the sword of the Huns can't pierce our armor." Wang Ben patted his armor and said.
These armors are all made by imitating condensation armor, although they are not as light and defensive as the real condensation armor, but they are already crushing the Huns who are still using inferior bronze and even bones to make arrows and swords.
Chen Shoujun looked at the armor on Wang Ben's body by the light of the fire, and the armor of the three hundred cavalry was obviously different from theirs.
"Where's the pursuer?" Chen Shoujiang asked.
"I don't know, just now he was chasing after us and didn't say anything, and the speed slowed down after shooting a round of feather arrows. We hurriedly retreated. Wang Ben said.
"Okay, the general will go first, and our palace will be behind." Chen Shoujiang said.
Wang Ben nodded, and led the cavalry towards the border city, Chen Shou General led the people to the palace, after not finding the enemy catching up, Chen Shou General also evacuated with his people, Wang Ben and his men rushed straight into the border city.
"What about the casualties?" Wang Ben stopped his horse and said.
"Thanks to these latest armors, none of the three hundred brothers died, five were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly wounded." He looked at the armor on his body weakly, and his eyes were full of pity.
The same is true for other cavalry, when charging and killing in the Xiongnu camp, the Xiongnu's weapons can not do substantial damage on them, especially in the face of the Huns' bows and arrows, most of which are blocked by armor.
"It's a pity that this kind of armor is too difficult to make, and it is said that only half of the Yulin army has been equipped so far, and only a few armors are used in other armies." Wang Ben pulled out the feather arrow stuck in the armor and said.
Looking at the arrow of the feather arrow, Wang Ben was a little surprised, because the arrow of this feather arrow was not the common bronze arrow and bone arrow of the Huns, but iron, although the production was very inferior, not as good as the arrow of the Qin State, but this was enough to surprise Wang Ben, which showed that the Huns already had craftsmen who could create iron weapons.
"It seems that the gentleman is right, this Hun will be our main enemy in the future." Wang Ben looked at the arrow and said.
Although the Huns did not have craftsmen, the Huns knew the importance of craftsmen, and when they plundered countries, in addition to money, food and women, they would also pay special attention to craftsmen, and they would take a lot of craftsmen back with them every time they plundered.
"No enemy can live under the iron cavalry of Great Qin, the Huns are powerful, but we are not bad now." He patted the saddle and stirrups weakly.
Wang Ben nodded, the Qin State fought against the Xiongnu before, and it was no different from other countries, they all relied on the city, relying on strong bows and crossbows to continuously consume the Xiongnu's vital strength. But if it is a head-to-head battle, the Qin army is indeed not the opponent of the Xiongnu.
The only thing that the Central Plains could fight hard with the Hun cavalry was the martial arts iron cavalry of the Zhao State, but now with Ma Sanbao, the cavalry of the Qin army gradually stood on the same batch as the two.
As the sky was slightly bright, the chaotic Xiongnu camp also calmed down, and the embarrassed Huns sat on the ground with a disgraced face, and the soldiers mobilized from other tribes were cleaning up the battlefield.
Guarded by two warriors with golden swords, Touman led his men to the Tuli and Evil Tribes.
"What about your king of the earth and the king of the evil spirits?" Touman asked, grabbing a soldier.
"If you go back to Da Danyu, I don't know, it's from the soil department, the king was burned by the fire yesterday and is now being treated." The soldier replied tremblingly.
Looking at the scorched earth all over the ground and the tents emitting black smoke, Touman became more and more angry in his heart and shouted
"What about the soldiers who patrolled yesterday? The Qin army attacked the camp, but they didn't find out for the first time, what are you doing to eat!? ”
The Hun soldiers of the Tuli Department and the Evil Department present did not dare to speak anymore, but silently lowered their heads, looking at the dejected soldiers, the anger in Touman's eyes seemed to be about to turn into a substantial eruption, and said to the soldiers just now
"Take me to the Tuli King, are there any soldiers from the Evil Tribe? Let the evil king come to me in the tent of the king of the earth. ”
"Yes, I'll take Da Dan Yu to see our Tuli King."
The soldiers led the way and led the head man to the tent where the king of Tuli was.
