Chapter 14: Night Attack
The cavalry that sneaked up on them came very quickly, almost immediately following the heralds, and it was incredibly fast!
There was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and the shouting and killing were all in one place, presumably the outermost camp had been attacked now!
Even the commanders and generals in the camp had a lot of panic on their faces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, everyone was experienced and experienced, and in the face of the sudden night attack, they quickly calmed down.
After only a few seconds of panic, Marshal Lista reacted: "Don't panic, our camp is very well built, they didn't come in so quickly! Everyone hurry back! Calm down the people's hearts and reorganize the team! Listen to my orders and do it together! Exterminate this group of sneak attackers who don't know whether they are alive or dead here!"
When the people in the tent heard this, they were no longer surprised, and knew that the matter was urgent, so they took up light work one after another, and quickly left the camp and went back to straighten out the soldiers and horses.
"Don't panic! Don't mess around! It's just a sneak attack on the other side! Everyone line up in formation, follow my banner, and rush over to kill them all!"
"It's all cavalry on the other side! Refuse horses, iron clips, and thistles are all brought here for me!"
"Team leader gun phalanx! Team leader gun phalanx! Line up, press me!"
"Don't be afraid! Don't run around! There aren't many people on the other side! They're on the east side!
......
With a reprimand and order, order slowly returned to the camp, and groups of soldiers were assembled and headed towards the east side of the camp to support.
The east side of the camp is the gathering place of the city defense army, the city defense army is a very chaotic kind of army, on weekdays in their own city is responsible for patrolling the city, defending the city and other work, sometimes part-time security team, in the military training is not as good as the regular garrison, not to mention the main army. But when war comes, they will also go on the expedition with the lord of the castle. It's just that most of the city lords are big nobles, and many of them will be incorporated into the aristocratic coalition with their own private soldiers, and their city defense army has become a child that no one wants, and most of the time paper cups are used as high-level cannon fodder, which is very sad.
And because the generals who commanded them all went to the Chinese army's big tent for a meeting, and were suddenly attacked, the entire city defense camp was in chaos, and not a single decent resistance was organized, so that the blood of this pair of elite cavalry was flowing. Countless tents were set on fire, countless wails rang out, some wanted to resist, some wanted to escape, some wanted to find the officials, some wanted to organize everyone, and the whole camp was in chaos, almost allowing the cavalry to wreak havoc here.
Fortunately, the support came quickly, first the elite cavalry of the three main army corps, then the infantry phalanx of the garrisons in various places, and then the miscellaneous aristocratic coalition troops, under the command of their respective generals, slaughtered the cavalry that was raging in the camp of the city defense army.
Seeing that several times their own reinforcements arrived, the French cavalry that came to raid reacted quickly, and after dropping a few corpses, they turned their horses' heads and began to flee to the east.
Looking at the miserable scene in the camp of the city defense army, almost all the generals roared angrily and roared endlessly.
"If you can't let them escape, why don't you chase them for me!"
"Chase, chase, chase, chase and kill them all!"
"What do they think we're here? Come and go when they want?"
"If you kill someone, you want to leave? How can it be so easy! Everyone follow me up and kill them all. ”
"Why don't you chase after me, don't let them escape back to Eagle's Beak Gorge!"
......
The French cavalry that sneaked up on the attack were all light cavalry, which came very quickly and retreated very quickly, although everyone chased them desperately, they didn't kill a few people, and the infantry didn't say much, and even the elite cavalry of the three main legions had to chase after them so as not to be pulled away.
From the air, it looks like a small spot of light in front of it, followed by several other lights and shadows of Yorah farther away.
Standing at the gate of the big tent, looking at the various elite troops pursuing him, Marshal Lista frowned, thought for a while, and ordered: "Pass the order! Tell them not to chase! The other party is prepared, and there is a very good chance of an ambush in the east! Don't go over and fall into an ambush!"
The men obeyed the order and were about to go out to give the signal, when another violent sound of horses' hooves sounded! It was several times more violent than the one just now!
This is the French heavy cavalry!
Marshal Lista began to look around sharply, this force of cavalry was surprisingly numerous, no less than 10,000 people!
They are not in ambush! They are turning the tiger away from the mountain!
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately roared wildly: "Hurry up and give orders! Let them come back! Don't chase them! The enemy is coming at us! Let all the people below line up! Array! Block them!"
The black French heavy cavalry swept away the garrison camp to the west like a torrent, and rushed straight towards the middle of the camp!
"Assemble! Hold guns! Array, behind is the big tent of the Chinese army! We can't take a step back!"
"Refuse to move over! The canteen is okay, block the intersection first!"
"Archers! Stand in a scattered position! Don't concentrate! Hide behind the phalanx! The opponent will not release arrows when they are close to fifty meters!"
"Your team, as well as you, come here to protect the Chinese army and the marshal!"
......
The three main legions of the Gongwei Chinese Army are worthy of being the elite of the empire, even if the cavalry is exhausted, the remaining infantry still form several interception formations with the help of the barracks in a single order.
"Boom" The black torrent slammed into the newly built defensive wall, like a huge wave crashing against the reef, trying to smash it.
But it did not go as he wished, the camp was not like the plains, where there were dense fences everywhere, and there were no longer a few horse-repellent fences, and the momentum of the horses' forward rush was repeatedly slowed down, and when the slapping felt on the defensive phalanx mountain, there was no more strength to say.
The heavily armored cavalry and the spear-wielding infantry were killed together in an instant, and there was a constant muffled sound of horses and human bodies colliding, and the roar of weapons intersecting with weapons.
Both sides were elite, and for a while, the sword aura was overflowing, the sword light was horizontal, the spear was sharp, and the fist strength was vertical and horizontal, and the battle was white-hot.
Looking at the French heavy cavalry getting closer and closer, the attendants guarding Marshal Lysta couldn't help but suggest: "This will not work, they will be killed! ”
Knowing that he would not be able to break through the defense line in a short time, the black torrent did not insist, and with a turn of the horse's head, part of it killed the garrison camp to the west and began to kill, while the other part rushed straight and headed towards the camp of the aristocratic coalition army in the north.
