Chapter 361: The Pit That Has Been Digg
Yu Ren arranges the camp according to the front, middle and back, left and right, and the appearance is a diamond.
The right battalion commander will climb the watchtower neatly, look at the hundreds of rapidly approaching fire regiments, and calmly say, "Draw the cover." ”
One of the guards jumped off the guard tower with the flag in his hand, shouting as he ran: "A large team obeys the order, remove the cover." ”
Suddenly, there were many black holes on the ground outside the camp on the right, one on the left and one on the right, in a disorderly manner in front of the horses outside the camp wall. Those black holes were pitted by horses, and the kamikaze army dug them with planks to prepare for paralysis and lower the vigilance of the enemy.
The hundreds of fires approached the right camp, and everyone realized that they were hundreds of cows, strapped to them with torches and ignites.
"The pikemen came out of the camp and attacked after rejecting their horses. "The right battalion commander will issue a second general order, and another guard will leave the guard tower with the order flag.
Half of the hundreds of cattle fell into the pit and could not get up, and the other half were stabbed to death by pikemen after knocking over several layers of horses, which caused more than a dozen soldiers to be injured.
Just as Yu Ren felt, at this time, the soldiers of the left battalion could clearly sense that the ground was shaking, and experienced veterans could judge that a large number of cavalry were rapidly approaching the left battalion.
"Inform the commander of the front battalion that if the enemy rushes into the left battalion, they will go around the outside of the left battalion to cut off the enemy's rear and charge the enemy from behind. Yu Ren ordered.
The cavalry division of Kamikaze City was actually placed in the front camp, because Yu Ren thought that the night attack of Zhushan City was unlikely to attack the front camp.
The commander of the left battalion threw away the sword and exchanged a spear from the guard, "the archers were scattered to the sides, and the infantry was concentrated in the middle, and the cover was removed and the line of fire was lit." "Several general orders were issued in a row. At this time, he didn't know that he was the main attack direction of the enemy, so he was not worthy of being the commander of the left battalion.
The dark sentinels lying in ambush outside the left camp all jumped up and ran back to the left camp like crazy, but unfortunately before they could run a few steps, a rain of arrows flew in, and all the dark posts were nailed to the ground without falling.
"Ignition!" a coquettish cry came from the darkness in the distance.
The sporadic fires lit, and the shadows of countless cavalry were revealed, and they were not far from the left battalion.
The pupils of the commander of the left battalion shrank, and he shouted: "Sword and shield soldiers go to the front!" He saw clearly the weapons in the hands of the enemy, and those cavalrymen were holding bows and arrows, not spears and swords as he thought before.
This order was a step too late, and the cavalry outside the camp ran to the pit, turned in unison, and ran away on both sides of the edge of the pit. The cavalry in the front row fired flat, the cavalry in the rear row projectile, and countless rockets rained down on the left battalion.
On the top of Zhu Mountain, two uninvited guests drove away the guards on the top of the mountain and were watching the situation of the Kamikaze Army camp.
"Yo, you're still going to use the Fire Ox Formation. "Tut-tut, this rocket shoots like fireworks. One of them watched and admired.
"Hehe, this is the first time Yun'er has commanded a battle of this scale, and in general, it is decent, and the feint time of the rear battalion and the right battalion is slightly insufficient. "The other one is Bai Cen, the lord of Zhushan City.
"That's right, the troops of the rear, center, and right battalions who were restrained in a short period of time did not dare to act rashly, enough for them to set fire to the left battalion. "The rest is naturally Ding Kui.
"Well, after this battle, let her go to the territory of Kamikaze City to play hide and seek with the enemy army, and practice her ability to lead the cavalry in battle, and by the way, let Yu Ren know that the new city lord is not in the city. A doting smile was on Patricken's face.
"Although you can't kill a few people, at least you can stimulate Yu Ren's temper. A little girl will come as soon as she says she will go, what kind of suspicious tactics, loud voices, and fishing in troubled waters will be used like a tactical exercise, will he, an uncle, always be passive?" Ding Kui showed a sly smile.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I can't formulate such a comprehensive tactic alone, and it depends on my benefactor to pick up the gaps, and it will be difficult for Yu Ren to miss the plan this time. Bai Cen didn't know who Zhuge Liang was, and he could understand the meaning of that sentence under Ding Kui's explanation.
Bai Yun didn't plan to rush into the left camp, and after firing a few rounds of rockets, he led the army away.
It is impossible to count the number of cavalry in Zhushan City in the dark, but it is speculated from the density of rockets that the cavalry that attacked the left battalion was much more than the one encountered during the day, and the former battalion commander would not dare to go out of the camp to intercept the enemy's rear road, anyway, the enemy did not rush into the left battalion, and he was not considered to have disobeyed the military order.
"What? Did you see that girl, didn't you recognize the wrong person?" asked the scout in front of him.
"I've seen her many times recently, and I'll never admit it, the enemy cavalry has been operating under the command of her general, and there is no second woman like this in Zhushan City. The scout replied.
"Hmph, she's very bold, aren't you afraid that I'll kill her in battle?" Yu Ren's face was a little ugly.
The people next to him didn't dare to answer, but they all said in their stomachs, "You really didn't kill her, who would rush into the cavalry army and kill their main general in this case."
"This woman is still too young, and she shows her horse's feet at a moment's notice, and during the day she only leads a part of the cavalry to attack our marching team, hiding part of her strength, but at night she is all exposed, and the number is more than our cavalry, and she should be the strongest force on hand in Zhushan City. Mr. Cheng analyzed one of Bai Yun's weaknesses and gave Yu Ren a step down.
"The rear battalion harassed, the right battalion feints, and the main force ran to the left battalion to set fire, such a rigid tactic is in line with her style. If she burned the front camp, our trouble would be much greater, most of the war horses were in the front camp, and once the horses were disturbed, the front camp would be blown up.
When a young man is excited, she is easily dizzy, and she does not think about the consequences at all, and she may do what we think is very aggressive, which must be guarded against, but do not capsize in the gutter. Let the forward and rear battalions be reversed, and the cavalry division is ready to return to the aid of Kamikaze at any time. Yu Ren was really a little worried that Bai Yun would do something desperate.
Because the commander expected that the enemy would attack at night, all the officers and men did not sleep, and waited in the tent wearing armor and weapons, so the casualties of the left battalion were not large, but the camp was burned down in half, and it looked a little embarrassed on the surface.
Being made like this by a fledgling female general, Yu Ren and his subordinate battalion leaders had a dull face, and they all held their breath to show Zhushan City the color.
At dawn the next day, Yu Ren led the army to set up a position outside the west gate of Zhushan City, and sent people to the city to provoke, asking the troops in the city to go out of the city to fight.
Not to be outdone, Zhushan City led his troops out of the city to fight.
Noble warfare is not a deep hatred between ethnic groups, and there can also be a gentleman's agreement on the battlefield, where both sides can send an equal number of troops to fight, and reward the winning side with money and prisoners.
The left battalion commander of Kamikaze City was the first to jump out, insisting that one of his brigades be the first to fight. Yu Ren organized the 50,000-strong army into five divisions, the cavalry was the cavalry division, the others were the Fengyi to Feng's fourth divisions, and the Feng's second division was stationed in the left battalion.
The Second Wind Division is composed of ordinary soldiers, but half of the officers leading the team are veterans, and the combat strength of the thousand-person level is considered to be above average in Kamikaze City.
Yu Ren agreed to the request of the commander of the left battalion and sent a brigade of the 2nd Wind Division to fight the other party.
At the beginning, this kind of battle was mainly to test the strength of the other party, and he would not send the elite main force as soon as he came up, and Bai Quan also sent a large team composed of ordinary soldiers to fight.
The individual quality of ordinary soldiers is slightly higher than that of Zhushan City, which has to guard against horse thieves and monsters, as well as the infiltrated troops of the Northern Empire, and often receives military training in addition to farming and grazing, while Kamikaze City is much more comfortable.
The quality of the squad leader, squadron leader and captain is slightly higher than that of Kamikaze City, after all, they began to recruit very early and attracted a large number of powerful samurai, knights and archers to join the army, and this hand is more prepared than Zhushan City.
Two thousand men fought in front of the two armies, one hundred people in a phalanx, and twenty phalanxes entangled together. This is not a competition or a drill, real swords and real guns can kill people, not only more than combat power but also more than equipment,
The result of the first battle was not surprising, Kamikaze City was victorious, and the enemy was routed at the cost of more than 200 casualties, while the Zhushan City Brigade that fled back to its own camp suffered more than half of the casualties.
The two sides did not stop and continued to send brigades to fight.
Outside the West Gate, the war drums roared, the sound of killing shook the sky, the soldiers who did not go to battle were also waving their flags and shouting, and the soldiers who fought in front of the battle were full of blood, completely ignorant of fear, and only the weapons in their hands and the flaws of the enemy in their eyes. Casualties on both sides began to mount, and fewer and fewer of the losers fled back to their positions.
On the top of Zhu Mountain, there are three people around a table of wine and food, eating while watching the battle under the mountain. Ao Yu usually doesn't participate in the discussions between Ding Kui and Bai Cen, and he will come over when he has food and drink.
"It's heartbreaking to beat Yuren like this, and I'm going to be heartbroken too. Bai Cen couldn't eat the food and drinks when he looked at it.
"Alas, war is to kill people, and for the sake of morale, you can't give an order to take the initiative to admit it. When people go to the battlefield, there are some things that they can't help themselves, and now I can understand the meaning of that. Ding Kui couldn't taste the taste of wine and food in his mouth.
Ao Yu didn't care so much, he ate happily.
"Your companion is fit to be in charge, and this scene will not shake his mind. Bai Cen felt that he was inferior to Ao Yu, he had seen Ao Yu's strong strength, and now he had seen Ao Yu's tenacious mind.
If you knew that he swallowed 10,000 handfuls of people without blinking, you wouldn't say that, this little scene is that he is floating in the sky with five words, "It's not a problem".
Ding Kui muttered in his heart, "He is in charge of the army, and there are many people who have died." It's good to get through the first day, and in the next few days, you can reduce the number of battles, so that Bai Quan has an excuse to surrender. ”
In Bai Cen and Ding Kui's plan, the candidate who took the initiative to surrender the city was Bai Quan, the chief of Bai Cen's guard, who controlled the Bai family's guard force and the command of the Zhuguang City army, and there was no more suitable candidate than him.
"Anyway, to be able to win this war, it is worth the extra sacrifice. "Patzen knew very well what would happen if he was defeated.
