Chapter 481: Sortie Attack
At this time, the Jin Xuedi sentries who were on guard on the periphery were killed by Jiang Jie and others unknowingly, and Bai He and Su Hong's departments were already in place, just waiting for the chaos outside the city.
About three quarters of an hour had passed, and before the hour came, the Jinxuedi people outside the city finally found that there was no trace of more than 100 sentinels on the perimeter, and the news quickly spread to the camp in the city:
"Your Excellency, our soldier is missing!"
The commander outside the house said quickly, the moaning in the house was endless, a big man greedily ravaged the Central Plains woman under the crotch, and the sudden knock on the door made the big man very angry, pinching the neck of the woman under the crotch with one hand, while scolding:
"One less soldier, do you still need to ask me how to do it!"
The soldier commander outside the house said anxiously:
"Your Excellency, it's not one less, it's one hundred and twenty-eight less!"
Dahan disagreed, continued to twist his crotch, and said sternly:
"If there are a few fewer people, won't you send someone to find them!"
"My lord, it's not a few, it's a hundred and twenty-eight people who are missing!"
"What!" The big man was suddenly stunned, spread out and grabbed the woman's left hand, swooped to the ground, regardless of being naked, holding up his fat and bloated belly, opened the door and said, "You mean, there are one hundred and twenty-eight people missing!" ”
"Yes, my lord, Cheeks has one hundred and twenty-eight men missing."
"Damn, it must be the filthy Central Plains miscellaneous who want to rebel. Gather the cavalry and drive all these pigs to the clearing! ”
"Yes, sir."
When it was young, the battle horn sounded in the city, and 1,000 cavalry and infantry together with more than 800 infantry troops outside the city drove the sleeping Central Plains descendants to the city.
The defenders quickly searched and finally found one hundred and twenty-eight bodies on the north side of the west side of the fortress.
Hearing the news, the bloated magistrate stood on the unfinished city wall, and roared in annoyance:
"Listen, you pigs, just now there was a handful of filthy bugs and debris who dared to kill the warriors of our great moon god by despicable means, and committed an unforgivable sin against your majesty, and these bugs are among you, and I, Kadchic, can assure you here that tonight, I will make these bugs pay the price they deserve.
If any of you know who they are, you can be richly rewarded for speaking up, but if you don't, I'll make it worse than dead for all of you! Now, I count to ten, and if no one comes forward, some of you will suffer the punishment of covering up your sins.
One ......"
The administrator Kadecitzi hysterically threatened, and the 20,000 people in the city talked about it, and before the administrator could count to five, someone jumped out:
"My lord, I know!"
A descendant of the Central Plains, speaking fluent Jin Xuedi, waved his arms in the crowd, trying to attract the attention of the Jin Xuedi people, and was soon led by Jin Xuedi's soldiers under the not high city wall, and the administrator immediately asked:
"Tell me who they are!"
"Then what do I get!"
The people of the Central Plains asked about the benefits first, and the administrator happily promised:
"As long as you name who they are, you can enjoy a hundred days of rest, and a hundred days of service for a woman. Say, who are they! ”
"It's Qian Xiasheng, Kong Hua......" The man said a long list of names in Jin Xuedi, but the names were still transliterated.
When he was young, there were reports and revelations by the Central Plains descendants, and the administrative officials named and arrested people, implicating hundreds of people before and after.
The administrator pointed to the more than 300 people who were isolated under the city wall in front of him, and said grimly:
"Is that them?"
"Yes, in the last few days, they have been disgruntled and slandered the moon god behind their backs, it must be the soldiers who killed the adults!"
Hou Min pointed out in fluent Jin Xuedi, but Qian Xiasheng and others flatly denied it:
"Wang Yao, don't think that if you open your mouth and talk in vain, our brothers won't understand, can you easily do this thing of killing, do you know how to write dead words. Don't think I don't know, for the sake of sweet white-haired fart hooks, are there still fewer people you betrayed! ”
"Phew, shameless! What you and Kong Hua have done, you know best. I advise you, or admit it earlier, lest others follow you unlucky. ”
"Fart!" Kong Hua scolded: "Lao Tzu is locked up in a tent, how can you kill people, you don't make up a lie or make up a round name, you are also worthy of licking the white-haired fart hook, phew!" ”
Kong Hua spat at Wang Yao, but was easily avoided.
The administrator listened to the content of the translation, but in his heart he was convinced of Wang Yao's identification, in his opinion, there will always be a small number of die-hard rebels among the Central Plains people, and it is safe to kill them sooner.
"Come on, execute them with a moon hook!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Jin Xuedi quickly isolated Qian Xiasheng and more than 300 other people, surrounded the city, and the crossbowmen in the city were already aiming, waiting for an order.
"Bastard, Wang Shao, you kid can't die well!" Qian Xiasheng cursed.
"Yes, you can't die well!"
Some chimed in, others shouted:
"We didn't do anything, why should we be executed!"
"After suffering for more than ten years, in the end it ended up like this, and the villain Wang Yao must not die well......"
The scolding came one after another, and there was everything that was said.
With a wave of the administrator's hand, hundreds of Jin Xuedi people held ropes in pairs, and just as they rushed into the condemned prisoners to arrest and torture them, a soldier commander came to report in a panic:
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, forty-seven more soldiers are missing."
"What, forty-seven people are missing!"
"This time, but it suddenly disappeared in the presence of everyone, there must be a mob around our camp!"
The commander panicked, and the administrator, Kadchizi, gritted his teeth and was furious:
"Damn cowards, they'll just hide in the shadows. Search for me, and they'll just do some despicable things, and there won't be many of them! ”
"So what about them!" The commander pointed to the city to kill the prisoners.
"When we catch their accomplices and kill them together, we don't lack these hundreds of strong laborers, go search for them!"
"Yes!"
Fifteen hundred men were scattered throughout the city, searching for the rebels.
At the same time, a delicate atmosphere quickly fermented and spread among the descendants.
In the darkness, Bai Liyan and the others stood on the mountain bag six miles southwest of the city, although they couldn't hear the sound, they could guess seven or eight points.
Fang Liang was very puzzled, he could launch a surprise attack, but he wanted to alarm the Jin Xuedi people, which was no different from killing himself.
"You're going to lose if you do that!"
"Why?" Bai Liyan asked rhetorically.
"They are very good at field combat, even if they are auxiliaries, they are not much worse than legionnaires, and there are many of them, once they find out, they will concentrate their forces to destroy you."
"Perhaps, but tonight is our hunting game, and they will die!"
From the moment the Jinxuedi people divided their forces to search, their defeat was already doomed.
In a few hours, less than a mile east of the city fortress, the 500 Jin Xuedi people who were searching suddenly encountered an overwhelming attack by 1,500 people of the Xian army, including archer crossbows, and all the arrows were not aimed at the vital parts, without exception, they concentrated on shooting the unprotected lower body of the Jin Xuedi auxiliaries.
Bai He and Su Hong lay in ambush in the woods and snowdrifts, and when the barbarian army entered the best range, they were hit by arrows in their legs.
The five hundred Jin Xuedi people walked on the main road, only thinking that they had been attacked by a small group of thieves, and they were completely defenseless.
Unlike the regular army of the Jinxuedi people, the auxiliary infantry does not have a high shield rate, and even if there is a wooden shield, the upper body is cowhide armor, and the second half of life is not equipped with armor. In winter, the clothing is thick, and the penetration of the repeating crossbow is weakened.
Shooting the upper body is not enough to quickly disable the enemy, and even less lethal. Bailiyan's strategy was to shoot at the relatively thin lower body, causing it to lose its walking and combat effectiveness within a few days or even a dozen days.
At the same time, he lured the Jinxuedi people to quickly reinforce and kill them again. In order to achieve the purpose of sending reinforcements, Jin Xuedi's troops were constantly transferred to kill and wound his living forces outside the city to the greatest extent.
In just one minute, 1,500 crossbows shot out more than 6,000 arrows in a blink of an eye, and as long as they hit one, most of them couldn't stand up, and such a dense rain of arrows hit one.
"Brothers, shift your position and withdraw!"
"Withdraw quickly, all battalions will evacuate in an orderly manner!"
Jin Xuedi and the people all fell down, and Su Hong and Bai He saw the opportunity to stop and quickly retreated to the next pre-selected position.
Seydon screamed incessantly, and soon attracted reinforcements from the Jinxuedi. When the reinforcements arrived, they saw countless short crossbow arrows densely inserted on the ground, and the five hundred auxiliary soldiers fell to the ground in pieces, and all of them were shot into hedgehogs in their legs, and they were in great pain.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, we have been ambushed!" The commander panicked.
"Ambushed!" The bloated Kadchiqi snapped and continued to ask, "How much is hurt!" ”
"Four hundred and fifty-eight people were wounded, thirty-nine died, and only a few were not injured."
"So much! How did it hurt, how could it hurt so many people in a short period of time! ”
"It's a wooden stick with a metal spike, and they fired thousands of sticks that hit us people in the legs and even through the heads."
"See how many of them are not?"
"I don't know, they are hiding in the woods and snow on both sides of the road, I don't know how many, maybe hundreds."
"Dead brutes, go, gather the soldiers, and get them out!"
"My lord, it is too dark, and they are hiding in the dark, which is extremely bad for us. We should wait for dawn to find out their strength before deciding how to encircle and suppress them. ”
"Okay, just wait until dawn!"
As soon as the words fell, another report came:
"Your Excellency, eighteen more soldiers were missing in the camp just now."
"Damn it, damn it, these cowards will just hide in the shadows and do shady things! Take back the people for me, keep an eye on them, and don't make any more trouble! ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Quickly took back the released people and horses, and returned to the camp to find that there were more than forty people missing, each time there were a few less people than a dozen people, and sometimes dozens of people were missing.
