Qi Cheng was not as naïve as the celebrities, thinking that a few rounds of arrow rain would be able to solve the enemy. Not to mention that it is a night battle, and it is still a vertical fire, even in the daytime, at such a distance, it is impossible to wipe out hundreds of enemy troops with a long-range attack alone.

The main purpose of the salvo is to disrupt the enemy's formation, so that the enemy cannot make the best defense, cover the mountain attack of the mountain troops, and enter hand-to-hand combat.

From the mouth of the rout, he had already learned the reality of the enemy army on the mountain, the number was small, only a few hundred, and the garrison on the top of the mountain could only be defeated, but not completely annihilated. As long as the hand-to-hand combat is connected, no matter how elite the enemy army is, it is impossible to resist the continuous army attacking the mountain.

Of course, he did not forget the enemy's archers, nor did he ignore the terrain, but those sharpshooters used short bows with faster shooting speed and relatively short range, while the archers he organized used infantry longbows.

The longbow can completely compensate for the disadvantage of the terrain, so that the advantage in numbers is enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

He was pleased with the effect of the first salvo, and the enemy forces were clearly suppressed.

As for the lack of movement on the mountain, he didn't pay much attention to it, maybe the surprise attack troops came one after another in order to maintain the effect of the surprise attack, so there was no scream, or the enemy army saw that they could not achieve the effect of the surprise attack, and they had already retreated.

However, after a few rounds of shooting, he began to get restless.

When the enemy began to counterattack, he was even more shocked, and his heart was bright, the enemy army was not suppressed at all, they were just waiting for the opportunity.

The momentum of the mountain attack force was like hitting an invisible wall, and in an instant, the vanguard was scattered.

The dead fell with a scream, the screams of which brought great fear to the timid comrades; The fallen corpses merge with the mountain and become a new obstacle. Trip those fierce soldiers who are not afraid of life and death to the ground and roll into a ball.

The enemy army was not uplifted, or wavered, and the sharp hiss continued one after another, like fine rain, falling from the sky, accurately finding one target after another, drinking blood, and refusing to give up.

"Help!"

"It's an archer. That's a lot of sharpshooters! ”

"Raise the shield, where is the shield hand, line up the shield array!"

"Disperse, disperse, don't get together!"

The attacking troops were stunned by the sudden blow. All at once there was chaos, some people screaming, others running in all directions, others giving orders, trying to regroup the offensive, but the instructions given were not only contradictory, but simply out of place.

Shields? How can it be! It's a night battle! If it weren't for the fact that the mountains are really flat. It is impossible to organize a mountain attack.

It would be a good idea to line up in a straggler array, but although the Yanzhou army was also elite, their commander was far from there. The level at which you can command night battles can also be gathered freely.

Night fighting is not a conventional method of warfare. Many soldiers could not see at all at night, which is called night blindness, and they could not even see anything. What else to talk about fighting? Generally speaking, the victory or defeat of night battles does not depend on the military strategy of the main general or the elite of the troops. It's pure luck.

If you can't see it, you can only fight and kill indiscriminately, and it's hard to say whether it's the enemy or your own people. In a night battle, the loser suffered heavy casualties, and the victorious side was not much better, and both sides were usually defeated.

Therefore, as a last resort, few generals chose to fight at night.

"Raise the fire, bring the torch!" In the chaos, I don't know who was the first to shout out, since it has caused a lot of resonance. Qi Cheng was promoted too quickly, his prestige was not high enough, and at a critical moment, his orders were easily forgotten.

"Idiot, light some torches, look for death!" Qi Cheng was so angry that he stomped his feet. Ignition in a night battle, isn't that a vertical target?

Few people heard his shouts, but the screams that followed were a wake-up call for everyone. As soon as the torch was lit, the person who carried the torch and the person who lit the torch fell one after another, apparently becoming the target of the shooters on the mountain.

"This ...... Troops! It's so dark, we can't see them, how did they see us? "The generals of Yanzhou are not ignorant of the fact that it is very dangerous to raise fire in night battles, but the problem is that the enemy's arrows are shot very accurately, and the visibility is limited, and no one can specifically evaluate the results of the battle, but after each round of shooting by the enemy, a scream will be aroused, and it is obviously not blind shooting.

Voice...... It's the sound! With the experience of escaping death on the mountain, Qi Cheng understood very quickly, he was still a little uncertain, but now he is convinced.

"Hear the sound and shoot the arrow? How can it be? "All the generals looked incredulous, with the gradual destruction of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Army has long existed in name only, everyone has heard of the name of the shooting battalion, but few have really seen it. How can the land of Qingzhou have such a strong army?

"Mingjin, let the brethren stand down!" Qi Cheng didn't explain much, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

He didn't know the answer to this question, he only knew that he had to find a way to capture the mountain, not only to consolidate the position of this acting commander, but also to make meritorious service for his crimes--the Chishan position was lost in his hands!

If you can't complete this task, let alone be promoted, will you lose face?

It is difficult to say that Liu Dai, who was frightened, used it to extinguish the fire.

What's more critical is that after the Qingzhou army made a surprise attack on Chishan, they did not take the opportunity to rush down the mountain to expand the results, but stubbornly defended the mountain, which also brought him great unease.

The Qingzhou Army once raided the Yellow Turban Army at night in Duchang and won a complete victory, but the Yanzhou Army was not a rabble like the Yellow Turban Army.

As a result, the Qingzhou Army easily gave up the opportunity to raid, what is the meaning of this?

Although he couldn't see through the mystery, Qi Cheng believed that the enemy army would not be so short-sighted, and it would definitely be full of murderous opportunities. Only a counteroffensive and capturing the hill can disrupt the enemy's plans.

"When, when, when!" As soon as the gong sounded, all the generals in Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers in the vanguard retreated quickly as if they had been amnestied.

"Brother Qi is sympathetic to the soldiers, and he has the style of a famous general, but the lord is ......"

"Isn't it better to suggest to the lord that there are still two hours left and right before the sky is dawning, and then attack the mountain after dawn?"

With a sigh of relief, he looked back at the city tower, and the generals' hearts were worried again. The military order is like a mountain, Liu Dai's face is bigger than the mountain, he gave the order to attack the mountain, and it is strange that those who do not follow can have a good one. The risk of persuasion is also very large, if you can pinch Qi Cheng, a celebrity who has risen suddenly, to come out, everyone can follow the muffled voice and make a fortune.

"It's not a way to be so hard, you have to change the way." Of course, Qi Cheng will not take the bait. As a staunch supporter of the old system, he was well aware of the relationship between the inferior and the superior.

Words follow the law, what the superior says is the truth, and violates the order? Even if you do grasp the truth, it is a foolish move. If you disobey your superiors, everything will come to naught, and there will be no hope of resurrection in your life, which has been verified by many pioneers throughout the ages.

Of course, it is also not advisable to rigidly carry out orders and drive soldiers to attack the mountain, if it incurs too heavy losses and cannot achieve the goal, Liu Yuanjun will not think of his hard work, he will only buckle a 'incompetent' hat!

"There are a lot of sharpshooters on the mountain, and if they attack from the front, they will only be used as targets, and if they don't look carefully at night, they will definitely not be able to rush up. Originally, it was also a way to shoot at each other, but it seems that there may be some arrangement on the mountain, and our archers can't help them, but after all, their number is not much, and we still have a chance. ”

"Where did the plan come from?"

"Hearing the sound of the bow, the arrows are not missing, how many such marksmen have you seen?" Qi Cheng asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... "To be honest, the archers, everyone has seen a lot, but the skill of firing the bow can be said to be special for night combat, and I haven't heard of anyone who has practiced it.

"Wang Yu is good at night attacks, and it is not surprising that the Qingzhou Army has attainments in night battles, but this kind of archer who is proficient in night battles is not something that can be practiced casually, first of all, their archery skills are very good, and then they can specialize in night fighting, what do you think?"

"I see, I understand what Brother Qi meant." The generals suddenly realized that the number of sharpshooters on the mountain was not large, and the other archers were all numbered and strong, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Qi Cheng nodded, and laid out the plan and plan: "First of all, we must divide the troops, set up no doubts, and attack from all sides...... In addition, it is not advisable to use the tactics of the right people to make a single blow, and our army should ......"

……

"So you're scared? Too bad, right? Brother Hansheng, do you want to move on to the next step now? After the Yanzhou army retreated, Xu Shu began to get bored.

Although he had led a special combat team to fight, he had not practiced the skills of night warfare, and the enemy troops near the mountain did not dare to light fires, and he could not see anything, so it was naturally boring.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's adjusting the deployment ......" Huang Zhong listened to the mountain with his ears, and replied to Xu Shu softly: "The enemy generals have replaced the armored soldiers, and the ones who have replaced them are all lightly armed, so that the footsteps are very light, as long as they don't speak, most of the brothers on our side will not be able to find the target." ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu also followed Huang Zhong's example, and listened attentively, but he only heard a rustling sound, and he couldn't tell whether it was the wind or someone walking.

The senses of archery masters are generally relatively keen, Xu Shu's martial arts are good, his resourcefulness is also high, and he naturally understands archery, but he has not done too much hard work, and his attainments are just ordinary, where can he compare with a top master like Huang Zhong?

"Well, it's really not simple, this time it's just three sides, and it's not in a hurry, but step by step, walk for a while, just stop for a while, the light soldiers in front of you open the way, don't even take weapons, the weight is reduced to a minimum, the follow-up troops are the real attackers, well, presumably the light soldiers who opened the road are also tied with ropes to guide the follow-up troops......"

While listening, Huang Zhong analyzed the enemy's situation, and on the other hand, he also used the light of the stars and the moon to gesture to the heralds around him.

"The method is not bad, this person is a little quick, and some generals." Xu Shu nodded, made a comment, and waited for Huang Zhong to finish passing the order, then asked, "However, Brother Han Sheng should have a way to deal with it, right?" ”

"That's nature." Mr. Huang smiled slightly and said: "In terms of night battles, the lord has taught him a lot of opportunities, tonight, but he is a little try." Yuan straight, and watch a certain break the enemy! ”
