Chapter 461: A Fight in the Night
Zhao Liangdong didn't know that Cheng Xiaolian had already analyzed his situation, he just decided to make a desperate bet, but even if he knew, there was no better way to deal with it, and he didn't have many chips.
That night, Zhao Liangdong began to swear an oath, and his words were very simple: "If this battle is won, I guarantee that all the soldiers will be prosperous and rich, if this battle is lost, I will definitely die in battle, and your fate will not be better than mine." ”
He chose to attack at night mainly because he could not form a military formation in the dark night, and he did not expect the number of troops to take advantage of it now, but only hoped to take advantage of the chaos of the night to win by surprise and defeat the Ming Dynasty army with the former heritage of the Ningxia army.
Many of the secret contacts in the Ningxia army were uneasy because of the murder of Zhao Liangdong during the day, so they were pulled to the battlefield before they could react, and no one could do anything in tandem in the night, because they had no unanimous opinion before, so they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Zhao Liangdong's unexpected move had a very good effect, except for a small number of people who fled the battlefield in the night, the others followed him and rushed to the camp of the Ming army.
In the first half of the battle, the barracks of the Northern Sweeping Army had been damaged, and they had not yet completely set up the barracks, and Jinyiwei had already sent the news back.
When Cheng Xiaolian heard the news, he immediately gathered people together: "We guessed right, Zhao Liangdong is going to fight with us, he wants the fish to die and the net will be broken, the fish must die, our net can't be broken." Now the army went to ambush on the hillside, and the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield to wait for my orders, and they were not allowed to attack without my orders. ”
He thought very clearly, if the cavalry attacked first, it would be easy to be blocked by the foot soldiers, and the cavalry that lost speed would definitely be killed by the foot soldiers. And after the big battle, if the cavalry attacks again, then it will be easy to reap the results.
The army quickly withdrew from the barracks, Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to have a hard time with Zhao Liangdong, he couldn't see the banner in the dark, and the soldiers didn't have a bottom in their hearts, so it was easy to be eaten by them, so they had to shoot their morale to the bottom first, and then fight with them to reduce their losses, as for what method to use to dampen their morale, of course, rockets and artillery.
But Zhao Liangdong is not an idle person, he has already sent those henchmen to the top of the hill in two ways, and he still has two or three hundred of his own henchmen, this time they are all sent out, divided into two teams, each team with a thousand soldiers, these two teams should not be defeated, and the rest of the army will be led by himself, pointing directly at the enemy camp.
Jin Yiwei quickly spread the news to Cheng Xiaolian, at this time they had already reached the top of the hillside, Cheng Xiaolian laughed when he heard the news: "Zhao Liangdong is also smart, I am afraid that we will ambush him like in the daytime, so we sent an elite army to kill on the hillside, if they are entangled, as soon as the army behind us arrives, we will not be able to get out." ”
Jia Xu laughed: "It's a pity that the elite in the army can really listen to his orders?" ”
"This is the benefit of the night, in the eyes of those soldiers, they disobey the military order and do bad things, this kind of thing must be connected with each other, see the people around them do this, they dare to do this, but now they can't see the people around them at all, I don't know if they still have the courage to escape, besides, it is easy to be cut down by someone when fleeing in the night, and they can't distinguish between friend and foe at all, once they face their own people, they are easy to be regarded as enemy soldiers."
Yang Youcai nodded: "If you want me to say that we should blow them up with palm thunder first, they will be dizzy and unable to find their minds, and we will defeat them." ”
Chen Chengan suddenly asked at this time: "What is palm thunder?" ”
Yang Youcai hurriedly said the effect of the palm thunder, Chen Chengan nodded, but he didn't expect anything good, Cheng Xiaolian was not surprised, just like someone in the future brought a laser gun and told you that you can shoot a laser with it, but it is difficult for someone to play his greatest effect for a while, and he has not been exposed to this thing before, so he naturally does not have a complete set of ideas.
It's like Cheng Xiaolian is definitely the best person in the world to use palm thunder, because he understands the role of this thing, and knows many ways.
"Palm thunder can be used but not now, no matter how many henchmen Zhao Liangdong has, it is absolutely impossible to have two thousand people, otherwise he must have controlled the Ningxia army, I don't know how many of his henchmen are in those two thousand people, if his henchmen are all behind, we bombarded it with palm thunder, and it has no effect, but to show his hole cards, now I am not in a hurry to show my hole cards, and I will fight with him first."
As soon as Zhao Liangdong's two teams of pioneers arrived within the range of the artillery, the artillery on the hillside rang out, but this time it was not like daytime when they had already been aimed at the direction, and many shells did not hit anyone, but only exploded around the army.
However, this also gave Ningxia Army a chance, and many people took the opportunity to say to the people around them: "Let's run." ”
It was very dark, no one knew whose mouth the words came from, and the sound of artillery came one after another, so Zhao Liangdong's cronies in the distance didn't know what they were talking about.
"Run to the west, there's a forest over there, and we'll be able to survive if we enter the forest."
So a small group of men and horses began to march towards the west, but Zhao Liangdong's henchmen soon discovered this and immediately roared: "Even if you run away today, can you escape the laws of the imperial court when you return to Ningxia?" ”
They have no choice, Zhao Liangdong told them a thousand times before, unless it is a last resort, they can't use knives with their own people, otherwise once their ferocity is aroused, these people will have to die in the hands of their own people, so they can only shout but dare not engage in military justice for those people.
"The court doesn't know if it can be kept or not, and what kind of law is it talking about to cut off the head, brothers, everyone has wives and children, why bother giving their lives here."
"Whoever shouts, stand up."
In the dark night, no one paid attention to him at all, and it was still a small group of soldiers and horses running towards the west, and the leader sighed and picked up the big knife in his hand: "We are soldiers, and what we eat is the meal that loses our heads, and the brothers who are not afraid of death rush up with me, I don't believe that they have three heads and six arms!" ”
After saying that, he rushed forward first, many people looked at his back and were all stunned, and after thinking about it, many people rushed up with him, a soldier is a bear, and a nest of bears is this kind of truth, when the general is not afraid of death, the most can infect his soldiers, especially some people although they are grateful to Xiong Hu, but they have no intention of betraying the court. If you can't rush forward at this time, the reputation of this rebel army is settled.
