Chapter 64: Commander Goshawk
Ou Zhenming has always considered herself suave, and her white face has a fatal attraction to Dongou beauties. Can...... Then this thing that I don't know what it is, actually disfigured itself in one fell swoop. How could Ou Zhenming be relieved.
"Ah......h Ou Zhenming's throat let out a wolf-like howl, which seemed to be more terrifying than those soldiers with broken arms and legs.
"General...... The general ......: "Several personal soldiers hurriedly rushed over and held down Ou Zhenming, who was almost crazy. At this time, the barracks was already in chaos, and they didn't know what this powerful thing was.
The soldiers of Dongou were instilled with all kinds of gods in the heavens from an early age, and the power of the gunpowder crossbow was beyond their comprehension. People will always blame God for things that they can't explain.
The idea of heavenly punishment hit the hearts of the Dongou soldiers in an instant. They are not afraid of bloodshed, nor are they afraid of death. After years in the military, many people can already face death. But for the unknown and the unreal, they are terrified.
The barracks were filled with chaotic fleeing crowds, people running aimlessly. As long as one person runs, the people behind him will run after him. The goal of the escape is blind, and sometimes the two teams will merge into one team and continue to crash around the camp like a lost boar.
"Squeak" and "Slap" The flower of death bloomed again, followed by the black smoke rising into the air. The sparks from the massive explosion could be heard clearly twenty miles away.
Wei Qing jumped up from the couch in an instant, and the voice was very familiar. It's not thunder, it's fucking winter.
Before he had time to put on his robe, Wei Qing walked out of the tent. The clammy coldness that I hated on weekdays is now unaware. He listened silently, explosions after explosions. It's a gunpowder crossbow, definitely a gunpowder crossbow. Wei Qing was sure. This is the explosion of a gunpowder crossbow. Because he had never heard a sound so close in nature.
"It's coming, it's coming...... It's finally here! Wei Qing left two lines of tears on his face. Once upon a time, he even felt like he couldn't hold on. The long-awaited Yun Xiao finally came, and the Hou Ye who raised himself as an adult did not abandon him.
"General...... What's wrong with you. Dress quickly, it'll freeze to death. The lieutenant of the Chinese military ran over in a panic and hurriedly untied his cloak and put it on the hysterical general. This is the emperor's close minister and brother-in-law. A promising general. Serving well naturally has its benefits.
"Quick, hurry up and get all the soldiers up. Point will be, fast hit point will drum point will be. Wei Qing yelled as if he had lost his mind. The soldiers who provoked the night patrol followed the prestige, and even those who dozed off were awakened. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he watched his general go crazy.
The lieutenant of the Chinese military was so frightened that he thought Wei Qing was really crazy. In the middle of the night, the third watch ordered something, and looked up at the sky. That's right, it's the moon that hangs in the sky, not the sun.
"Listen, explosions. It was the sound of an explosion. Yunhou is here. It was Yunhou who came, and he was attacking the camp of the Eastern European Army. The Dongou Army is finished, hahaha. Wei Qing excitedly grabbed the shoulder of the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy, and ignored the lieutenant's grinning teeth and shouting pain, he said to himself, and then let out the most hearty laughter.
The lieutenant didn't understand what an explosion was, but Yun Hou's name had heard of it. That was the first military god of the Han army, but I heard that he was not in harmony with the imperial court and had gone overseas. How did you come back again?
But I think of the identity of my own general. I also heard some rumors circulating in the feather forest. The captain was relieved, and the stories of the magnates in Chang'an City ignited the fire of gossip among the captains.
The lieutenant of the Chinese military is still reliable. In addition to the gossip in the abdomen, he did not forget to order people to beat the drum.
"Knock", "knock", "knock", "knock", "knock", ...... The tight drums rang out like cannons, and the officers of the Han army didn't know why they would beat the drums in the middle of the night. But in the barracks, the drums are the military order. The lieutenants quickly put on their heads, and if the tee point is drummed, they will not be killed. Although the general is young, he is really unambiguous in carrying out military orders.
Yun Xiao stood on the wheel of the carriage, already covered with a thick fur. She is still holding a warm soup woman in her arms. The Dongou military camp in the distance has become a mess. Crying, screaming, scolding, scolding...... The sound of the wait was mixed into a pot of porridge.
These Dongou soldiers have completely lost their structure and command. In the light of the fire. You can clearly see groups of soldiers bumping around like headless flies.
The barracks barricade blocked the flow of people, but the barracks gates had already been breached. The horse-rejecting deer barbars that blocked the road were rushed to a pulp, and some of the deer bars still had one or two Dongou soldiers covered in blood hanging on their spikes.
But the soldiers who rushed out were not very lucky, and the Yun family guards who were waiting for the battle shot their bows and crossbows as if splashing water. They were all too familiar with such a battle, and the chaos of the unguarded crowd was worse than the sheep on the steppe.
The crossbowmen didn't seem to have to aim, and it was much harder for a group of people to rush out and miss than to miss.
Dayuanjun and Fusang led the Hyogo warriors to see it in shock, and they didn't expect that the battle could be fought like this. According to this way of fighting, even if the 20,000 people in the barracks are dead, I am afraid that the Yun family will not even be killed or injured. Is this a fucking war or a massacre.
The father and son glanced at each other, secretly rejoicing in their hearts. If they had resolutely refused to surrender in the first place, this would probably be the fate that awaited them. Under the concentrated fire of the gunpowder crossbow, even the well-trained and extremely martial Hyogo soldiers will inevitably collapse.
The powder crossbow was already not a salvo, but a free fire. Orange flames continued to explode through the crowd, followed by smoke and dust that rose into the air, and fell stumps and rags.
If we talk about the hell on earth in the barracks at this time, then several camp gates are the gates of hell. The corpses at the gate of the camp were already stacked in several layers, and the corpses filled with arrows were stacked on top of each other. The soldiers behind had to climb out of the mountain of corpses and flee out. But they were greeted by a merciless rain of arrows, and their corpses formed another mountain of corpses.
The corpse mountains are one after another, which is shocking to watch. However, the frightened Dongou soldiers still crawled out regardless of it.
Ou Zhenming, who was subdued, had already come to his senses, and he understood when he looked at the mountain of corpses in front of Yingmen. This was not a heavenly punishment at all, but a night attack by the Han Chinese. God knows what kind of magic weapon the Han people use, anyway, they have already been defeated tonight.
What he has to do now is to save the lives of Dongou soldiers as much as possible, as long as he has soldiers in his hands, he will have a chance to make a comeback.
"Let go of me, let me go. You fools, blow the trumpet and the whole army draw on me. The lantern was hung in the corner tower of the Chinese army, and the whole army broke through according to the lantern command. ”
Ou Zhenming kicked and kicked away and held down his own soldiers, and grabbed his own herald. One command after another opened his mouth and said that he would come out.
The herald saw that his face was covered with blood, and he was hideous. Hurriedly nodded again and again, and quickly ran to find the trumpeter to blow the horn.
The "Woo ......" and "Woo ......" heralds were also considered lucky, and they didn't run far to see the bugler with the horn on his waist.
The dull sound of the horn seemed to strike a heavy hammer in the hearts of all the Dongou soldiers. All the soldiers began to gather in the camp tent of the central army.
At the same time, a series of six watermelon lanterns hung on the corner tower behind the tent of the Chinese army, like a control tower in the night sky. Summoning the fleeing soldiers.
"It seems that this general in Dongou is also a general, and he was able to wake up from the initial blow. Blow the horn to gather the crowd, hang the command lamp and command the unified command. Not bad, not bad. Yun Xiao stood on the wheel, and was stunned when he heard the sound of the horn. Immediately saw the watermelon lantern being hung out, and knew that the general of the Dongou Army had woken up from the initial blow.
In this era, there could be no such thing as a radio, and the light signal was the best medium to convey simple meanings. Generally, there is a high corner tower behind the tent of the Chinese military camp. In the corner hangs a string of lights, which in the dark is an important tool for giving orders.
Dongou soldiers began to concentrate on the Chinese army from all directions, and there were no more Dongou soldiers rushing out of the camp gate where the corpses were piling up.
Yun Xiao looked at the goshawk commanding in front of him unhurriedly, and the plan had changed, which was the most test of the general's command skills. He decided not to give the goshawk any construction tonight. Completely let him command, Yun Xiao wants to see. This old guy who followed himself to fight in the north and south, can he command a large-scale battle.
The Yun family has developed to the present, and there is no shortage of generals who are charging into battle. What is lacking is a general who can command the battle, and after Dai Yu Canghu, only the goshawk has enough prestige and qualifications.
The goshawk looked back at Yun Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, only to find that Yun Xiao's hands were shrunk in his sleeves. His eyes looked at the battlefield, and he didn't mean to give himself any hints.
The goshawk, who has always been ordered to do things, was flustered for no reason. Could it be that Hou Ye really wants to let himself command more than 10,000 people? Before you know it, a layer of fine beads of sweat has oozed from the goshawk's head.
"Fourth uncle, let my nephew bring someone to rush in. The gang of straight thieves shrank in, and the brothers' crossbow arrows couldn't reach them. The bear ran up to him noisily. He also wielded the iconic mace in his hand.
"Fuck off, go back to your team." The goshawk reprimanded the bear with a cold face.
"Fourth Uncle ......"
"Go back to Lao Tzu, or I'll whip you." The goshawk picked up the whip in his hand and made a sound out of thin air. When the bear saw that the goshawk was coming, he muttered and returned to his team.
"The summons, the three-bow bed crossbow stopped firing. Load up your crossbow bolts and wait for my order to shoot at the lantern. ”
The goshawk pondered for a moment, then gave the first order. At the same time that the herald sent the order to the bow battalion, Yun Xiao also knew the goshawk's order.
"Yes, the land of the corner tower must be the place where the enemy generals are located. Moreover, the enemy forces there are also the most dense, and the concentrated fire attack must be very fruitful. Hahaha! (To be continued......)
