Chapter 440: Fire Horse Attacks the Camp

The night was as cold as water, and before I knew it, the moon had run through most of the sky.

The sentry that had been patrolling for most of the night also began to get sleepy, and the second half of the night became more and more cold, the heat of the day had long since dissipated, but the cold of the night had accumulated a lot.

A group of black-clad and black-armored soldiers and horses quietly walked through the desert, like ghosts.

"Woohoo"

The sound of a rapid trumpet broke the silence of the night, and soon the sound of the trumpet sounded farther away.

Lu Junyi also knew that it was exposed, so he turned his head to the guards of the Fangdang tribe and said, "There are still a few miles away from the Renli camp." ”

The guard saw that Lu Junyi asked in person, and hurriedly said, "About three miles." ”

Yan Qing said: "It's still farther away." ”

"Get on the horse and raise the fire."

Lu Junyi gave an order, and hundreds of horse troops all turned over and got on their horses.

Lang Yanming could not guarantee whether the Fangdang tribe was sincere and obedient, and Lu Junyi did not want to trust the party members, but Yan Qing felt that the opportunity was rare. In the end, Lu Junyi decided to only bring the Ma army to attack the camp, even if there was a trap, Lu Junyi was confident that he could break out with the Ma army. It's just that a few hundred horse troops can at most let Renli's soldiers and horses bomb the camp and scatter and flee, but they can't effectively kill or injure many people.

Yan Qing shook his hand casually, and the fire fold in his hand ignited a flame.

"Torches"

Lu Junyi's own soldiers put the torches together, and the grease-soaked torches touched the fire, and immediately burst into flames.

The torches were waved in a circle, and the torches around them were all ignited at the touch of a button.

A sentry sheltering from the wind behind the dunes heard the sound of the horn and hurriedly climbed up the sand dunes, and saw the scene of the ignition, like fireworks, which started as a spark and spread out and expanded in the blink of an eye. Shines brilliantly.

However, the fire on the ground was as beautiful and harmless as fireworks in the sky, and the soldiers and horses reflected in the light of the fire did not come to let them appreciate the light of the fire in the dark night, let alone bring them warmth, but to harvest their lives.

The light of the fire dispelled the darkness, and by the light of the moon and the fire, the road several feet ahead could already be seen.

"Kill"

Lu Junyi's steel gun in his hand pointed diagonally ahead, and with a loud shout, hundreds of horse troops rushed towards the Renli camp.

"Why are there only a few hundred people?"

The sentry on the sand dunes rubbed his eyes, and took advantage of the torches of the girders' horses. Just by a cursory glance, the number of people who attacked the camp was estimated. There were less than a thousand war horses, and many of them had no one on their backs.

The sentry looked around suspiciously, but there were still only a few hundred soldiers and horses, and he was delayed. Hundreds of soldiers and horses have already rushed out of Liyu.

"Woohoo"

The sentry did not dare to delay any longer, and raised its cold horn and blew it, but the rhythm was completely different from the rapid sound of the warning horn before.

Renli, who was asleep, heard the sound of the horn and immediately got up.

The guards guarding outside the tent also rushed in and helped Renli put on his armor.

"Move fast."

Renli straightened his arms and urged the soldiers in armor.

Suddenly, a horn sounded from the tumultuous night sky, and Renli frowned. Puzzled: "There are only a few hundred people attacking the camp?" ”

"The sound of the horn is five hundred to one thousand tones. ”

Renli listened to the confirmation of the guards, and he was no longer in a hurry, and let the guards put him up neatly, and then the big tent came out.

A few hundred people are more like harassment. Instead of raiding the camp.

Nearly 1,000 people had gathered in the big tent, and Renli turned over his horse and shouted: "Order all the departments to guard the tent." Do not go out of the camp and bump into it. Come with me. ”

There were 2,000 men and horses in charge of guarding the night, and the Chinese army gathered nearly 1,000 men. In Renli's opinion, 3,000 people are enough to resist the harassment of a few hundred.

Lu Junyi and his entourage soon arrived outside the Renli camp, and the soldiers in charge of the night guard had already gathered more than 1,000 people in front of the camp gate.

It is said that it is a camp gate, but in fact, there is no camp wall in other places, and there are no trees in a radius of dozens of miles in Yanzhou, and without trees, not only can you not set up antlers, but even the camp wall cannot be set up.

The soldiers could only lay down some wooden stakes and pull a few ropes, barely making a rope wall. Of course, the soldiers did not expect the rope that could be cut off with a single knife to block the enemy, but sprinkled a lot of porcelain thistle outside the rope wall. The role of the rope wall is more to remind one's family not to cross the rope wall, step on the porcelain tribulus terrestris, and accidentally injure one's own people.

If the enemy wants to attack from all sides, he must first clear the porcelain thistles, and with this buffer time, the soldiers and horses in the battalion are enough to assemble. A quicker way is to pave the road with planks and press the porcelain thistle underneath, but it is difficult to find a lot of planks on either side without trees.

Again, because there are no planks to support it, there is no trench to dig in the desert, and the quicksand will wipe everything out.

The camp gate was not pulled by ropes, but a barracks gate that was not simple with arm-thick wood, but in the contrast of rope walls on both sides, this camp gate looked a little top-heavy.

There are also two rows of antlers behind the camp gate, which can also be said to be decent. But all of this needs to be tested in real combat.

"Stop"

After a mile, Lu Junyi ordered loudly, and hundreds of horsemen ran dozens of steps before slowly stopping.

Although there were hundreds of horse troops under Lu Junyi's command, they couldn't be like the real cavalry, and when they gave an order, all the people stopped their horses, so they could only give orders in advance so as not to collide with each other.

The soldiers in the battalion couldn't help but laugh when they saw the soldiers and horses of the attacking battalion riding like this, and their morale was also high.

"Fire Horse"

Lu Junyi looked at the laughing soldiers in the camp, but he was not impulsive, and his voice was as calm as ever.

The horse army, which was one man and two horses in front, led all the empty horses to the front, and ten horses were facing the camp gate.

"Ignition."

The people in the camp were still puzzled, and they saw a sudden fire on the tails of a row of horses in front of them.

The fire-starting thing tied to the horse's tail was ignited, and the war horse was suddenly in pain, and rushed to the camp gate with a neighing cry.

The general of the battalion saw the war horse rushing like crazy, and hurriedly shouted: "Shoot arrows." ”

Most of these soldiers were people who grew up on horseback, so they naturally knew how terrible a frightened war horse was, and they shot arrows in their hands without the general's order.

The general originally thought that this rain of arrows could shoot ten fire horses to the ground, but he soon realized that he was wrong, not a single war horse was shot down, and when he got closer, the fans in the camp saw that the fire horses were all wearing vests.

Although it was only a distance of more than two hundred paces, the ten fire horses still divided into orders and crashed into the camp gate unevenly.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

Fire horses crashed into the camp gate one after another, and each horse hitting the camp gate would cause a turmoil at the camp gate. Although there are ten war horses, but the distance of more than 200 steps is not enough for them to drive too much distance, the front war horse just hit the camp gate, and the crazy war horse behind will hit it without hesitation. Under the combined force, the camp gate was smashed to pieces in an instant.

Ten horses rushed unstoppably into the camp, and then crashed into the antlers.

Naturally, the antlers on the camp gate could not be buried in the ground, otherwise their own soldiers and horses would not be able to enter and exit, but only lay there as a block.

If the war horse is sober, it will not hit it straight, but the war horse with its tail burned by the fire will not hesitate to rush straight up.

The two rows of antlers were immediately scattered, but all ten horses fell in front of the second row of antlers.

The people lined up behind the antlers had just breathed a sigh of relief, when they saw another row of fire horses rushing towards them.

Without the camp gate and antlers to resist, the first to bear the brunt was the Fan people who lined up behind.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Fan people immediately scattered in all directions, dodging on both sides, and let the fire horses rush towards the camp.

Three rows of live horses were released in a row, and a few war horses on both sides of the camp were frightened and ran diagonally, stepped on the porcelain thistle, and fell in front of the camp wall, and more than 20 fire horses all rushed into the Xixia camp, causing the camp to riot.

"Kill"

Lu Junyi saw that there were no trenches, horse traps or anything like that in the camp gate, so he immediately stopped hesitating, shouted, and rushed to the camp first.

Yan Qing saw that the prepared fire horses were effective, and she wanted to let all the fire horses go, but seeing that Lu Junyi had already exerted his power, she had no choice but to follow with the horses.

The people who were dodging the fire horses on both sides of the camp gate saw that Lu Junyi and the others no longer set fire horses, but rushed over, and hurriedly opened their bows and arrows.

After the Liang seized Tokyo, he inherited the rich inheritance of the Song Dynasty, although the armor was made a lot of empty accounts by Gao Yu and others, but it was for the whole country, and the few soldiers and horses equipped with the Liang were more than enough.

In particular, the Liangshan veterans are even more well-armoured, and everyone is equipped with iron armor. Chao Yong's care for the Liangshan veterans has never been hidden, and the Liangshan veterans have never disappointed Chao Yong.

The arrows landed on the iron armor, and with a clanging sound they all landed under the horses.

As soon as the Tangut people shot the second arrow, Lu Junyi had already rushed into the camp first, picked up a Xixia general in front of the horse with one shot, threw it aside, knocked down a group of archers, and then rushed to the depths of the camp without stopping.

Renli took a thousand soldiers and horses to look at the camp gate that he was about to reach, but saw several warhorses with fire in front of them rushing towards them like crazy.

Seeing that it was not good, Renli flashed behind the tent on the side.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind also dodged one after another, but some people had no way to hide, and were knocked to the ground by the fire horse, and for a while people shouted and neighed.

As soon as Renli was about to set his horse out, he saw several firehorses coming one after another, so he had to take refuge in the tent.

The probe saw that there was no fire behind him, so he came out of the horse and asked his own soldiers to straighten out the soldiers and horses.

Lu Junyi rushed into the camp first, and then rushed along the main road to the Chinese army, and after rushing not far, he saw a general blocking the road, shouting to gather troops and horses.

Renli also saw Lu Junyi leading people to rush over, and hurriedly asked the soldiers around him to meet him.

Lu Junyi saw that the people came up, and the steel gun in his hand was like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, and the fans who rushed to him screamed and fell off their horses.

Renli saw that Lu Junyi was coming so fiercely, and he didn't dare to fight, so he turned his horse and wanted to hide to the side.

Lu Junyi originally wanted to stab Renli off the horse with one shot, but when he arrived, he saw that Renli was wearing gold armor, and he couldn't help but move, and stabbed the person behind Renli off the horse with one shot, and pinched the horse's belly sharply, so that the war horse accelerated behind Renli. Lu Junyi grabbed the armor belt of Renli and carried Renli over the horse. (To be continued)
