601 Attack it unprepared
"Yes, if it's still discovered, I can't say it, special forces are also people, I really want to fight one against a hundred!"
These black shadows must be special forces, but the idea was not from Hong Tao, Wang Jiufei wanted to take down this military village several times larger than the sneak attack on the bridgehead camp just now, and people unknowingly took it, in order to make him die, Hong Tao agreed to try.
“…… Signal! Wang Jiu's voice is very unpleasant, and it is estimated that his face will not look good, but the night is too dark to see clearly.
A yellow flare...... Or a firework flew into the night sky, and the ground around the military village suddenly came to life, and countless figures quickly pounced under the wall, climbing up along the wall like maggots on tarsal bones.
At this time, the pot had been blown up in the military village, and the Khitan soldiers were awakened by the terrible screams, and when they found the corpses of their compatriots, they immediately picked up their weapons and rushed out. Before he could figure out what was going on, two bright fireballs suddenly exploded in the middle of the military village, setting fire to two tents.
"Extinguish! Extinguish! Extinguish ...... Uh...... "I have to say that these soldiers from the grassland have high military literacy, and their living environment since childhood has created a character that is not afraid of difficulties, dangers, and danger."
As soon as the fire was lit, many Liao soldiers realized that it was not safe to keep themselves in the light, and immediately picked up everything available around them to try to extinguish the two fires that had somehow started.
But it was still too late, and the arrows that flew from all directions shot all the figures that could be seen to the ground, and people kept rushing out of the tent and being shot down again, no matter whether they wore armor or shields, they could not defend 360 degrees.
Soon, the Khitan generals also learned wisely, and no longer rushed out of the tent, but hid inside and shot at the looming figures on the wall. Although the target is too small to see clearly, the shooting accuracy cannot be grasped, it is better than waiting to be killed.
A battalion of Khitan soldiers are all of the same race, and they are either brothers or uncles and nephews to each other, and the death and injury will only provoke hatred and anger, in exchange for more fierce resistance, and they will not be defeated easily
It's a pity that it was not the forbidden army that attacked them, but the new army, which would not give the enemy any more respite once it had a suppressive advantage. Soon another tent was lit, and the Khitan soldiers inside couldn't hide if they wanted to, so they could only rush out with everything that could be blocked, first the camp gate, and then the wall.
But no matter where you rush, you will still be attacked by the enemy, and the arrows that can block the front can't block the behind, and the front and back will block the left and right, and the end will be shot down piece by piece, without exception.
When the Khitan soldiers in several tents all suffered this kind of ending, the people in the other tents finally figured out that instead of waiting in the tents to be cleared one by one, it was better for everyone to rush out together and maybe there was a way to live.
It is impossible to have a way to live, and a thousand soldiers of the new army holding pulleys and crossbows have set up a posture and hid on the wall, facing the Khitan soldiers who can't even see the enemy clearly, and there is no need to guess the outcome and there is no surprise.
At this time, the Khitan soldiers knew what the arrow rain was, and the bargain people didn't shoot with all their strength just now. Under such a dense 360-degree fire, most of the Khitan soldiers fell as soon as they rushed out of the tent, and a small number of people got back into the tent, and the outcome was the same, early death and late death. They can't see a clear face until they die, and the whole process is like a one-man show.
"Officer, will the firelight arouse the alarm of the other military villages in front?" Hong Tao was already half a mile away at this time, and it didn't take tens of thousands of people to deal with such a small military village, it was enough to hand over Wang Jiu's special forces and a thousand new troops, and the large army was still advancing north along the post road.
"You're still planning to sneak up all the way? Fighting a war is not so easy, and most of the time you have to rely on hard fighting. As a commander-in-chief, you not only need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are, but also know how to use them. At this time, speed is our killer weapon, even if the Liao people know, they will not have time to gather troops, and they will not be able to drag us without more than three times the number of troops, and when they are assembled, we will enter Xijin Mansion as soon as possible. It's just that I don't know what happened to your eldest sister and General Miao, so I ordered the troops to light the gas lanterns. ”
Wang Jiu and Wang 12 participated in reserve training in Huangzhou and went to Suzhou for three months to fight, so they can be regarded as veterans, but they have never seen large-scale battles, and their understanding of war is still lacking. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can save your life this time, you will become a qualified battlefield commander regardless of whether you win or lose.
The night travel equipment of the new army is quite advanced, and the gas lamp of Yishui is not an ordinary gas lamp, and there is an extra copper shell outside. There is a small movable window on the shell, which is fully opened at 180 degrees to control the area covered by the light. Although there is no reflector inside, it can be used as a large flashlight, and you can also control the direction of the light so that it does not spread too far.
With the lights, the speed of the troops was almost doubled, and from a distance it looked like a big black snake, with a little light every 100 meters, constantly wriggling its body on the plain. Except for the sound of footsteps and gurgling wheels, there are almost no human voices heard, which is very weird.
Seventy or eighty miles to the west of this big snake, there is also a similar big snake swimming north, and the 10,000 new troops led by Miao Kui are all light cavalry, carrying only a small number of rockets and siege crossbows, and there are no box cars to take care of, so the speed of crossing the river is faster.
His first target was Guiyi Village, where the Liao army was located on the north bank of the Baigou River, and after taking this outpost of less than 1,000 men, he immediately moved towards Xincheng.
According to the information provided by the Shanchuan Inspectorate and the Fuji Caravan, Xincheng was the grain and grass warehouse closest to the front line of the Liao army, and it was stockpiled with forage that could feed forty or fifty thousand military horses all year round.
The most important thing for a nomad to march to war is not the rations of the people, but the fodder for the horses. When a man is hungry, he can eat horse meat and drink mare's milk, but if the horse is hungry for two days and cannot run, both man and horse will be finished.
Miao Kui's way of dealing with Guiyi Village was exactly the same as Hong Tao's, but the special forces in charge of the sneak attack were lucky and were not discovered in advance. After the soldiers of the new army also touched it with bows and crossbows, most of the Liao soldiers guarding the village were killed in tents, and there was basically no large-scale resistance.
"Change into their clothes, carry these two officials, and see if you can cheat the new city!" Faced with more than 600 enemy corpses, there were no casualties on his side, and Miao Kui did not have the slightest sense of joy. The defenders in Guiyi Village are all Han Chinese, that is, Youzhou soldiers, and they should be called Shenwu soldiers when they look at the banner.
It doesn't matter what it's called, when I think that Xincheng may still be a Han soldier guarding Miao Kui, I can't help but be depressed, it's really boring to fight for a long time by my own people and kill my own people. But no matter how boring it is, you have to complete the set goal, and it should be a good idea to use the clothes and corpses of the Youzhou soldiers.
Miao Kui guessed correctly, the battalion of Shenwu soldiers in Guiyi Village was a subordinate of Han Ning, the envoy of Xincheng Jiedu. The total number of Shenwu troops was 3,000, with a total of six commanders, one of whom was in Guiyi Village, one in Rongcheng in the west, and the remaining four were stationed in Xincheng.
The fodder here is the support of more than 20,000 Liao troops on the other side of Xiongzhou, and there is no room for loss. But Han Ning was not in the city today, and in the morning Fan Yang sent a letter to send a letter saying that there was an urgent military matter to discuss, and only the deputy general was left.
Guiyi Village is only fifteen miles away from the new city, and a fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the night, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall quickly discovered the abnormality, and just notified the deputy general to send out the exploration horse, and soon the exploration horse came back with more than 20 people.
These people, dressed in the clothes of the Shenwu Army, said that the soldiers in the stockade had drunk too much wine and mutinied, and not only set fires, but also cut the commander.
"Put the drawbridge, a bunch of waste, wait for the festival to make the adults come back, tie you all to the back of the horse and drag you to death!"
By the light of the torches, the lieutenant general saw that the Tanma was indeed sent out by himself, and the other people were indeed like soldiers in Guiyi Village. Especially the two people lying on the stretcher, one of them must be the commander of Guiyi Village, and the two are in-laws, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and open the city gate to save people.
This is called providence, originally Miao Kui just wanted to try, and if he succeeded, he would save some trouble, and if he didn't succeed, he would attack the city according to the plan. Unexpectedly, three detectives sent by Xincheng were caught halfway, and after some interrogation, the deputy general of Xincheng and the commander of Guiyizhai were in-laws. Gotcha, force the three scouts to lead the way, this nonsense is a round, see if you are not fooled!
