Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon to use the cover of night to sneak attack the enemy's camp, but that is limited to sneak attacks.

The two armies are basically fighting in a grand battle formation at night, not to mention anything else, just how to command the army at night is a difficult problem to solve, once the men and horses of the two sides are engaged, the main general is limited by shili, and it is impossible to distinguish between the enemy and me, how to command the battle?

What's more, most soldiers in this era suffered from night blindness, and they could not see clearly at night, so it was difficult to start night battles.

Qin Mu inherited the tradition of the People's Liberation Army and paid great attention to the ability to fight at night.

Qin Mu had a training subject of night warfare in his military training in Huichang, and he also learned from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) his method of solving night blindness.

When he was a student at the military academy, he read the memoirs of General Hong Hakzhi, which contained the following text: Just when we were feeling in a dilemma, we learned from the North Korean people two local methods for treating night blindness. One is to boil pine needle soup and drink it. This method is said to have been passed down by the ancient folks of our country. During the Second Shijie War, it was used by the Japanese during the South Seas Campaign, and it was very effective. The method is to put the needles of Masson pine in a large pot and boil, after boiling for more than 1 hour, take out the needles, let the pine needles precipitate and scoop them out, and put some sugar to drink. There is no sugar, and it is okay to drink it dry. The taste of pine needle water is a little bitter, and as long as you drink it for six or seven days in a row, your eyes can see it. North Korea is full of masson pine, and there is no pine needle soup to drink. I asked the Ministry of Health to telegraph to the whole army to promote this method.

This method really works, Qin Mu's two thousand men and horses often drink pine needle water, so they can regularly carry out night combat training, and marching at night is not a problem.

He expected that Zhang Qi would not dare to go out of the city to fight at night, so he was extremely arrogant and forced to the city, of course, if Zhang Qi dared to go out of the city to fight at night. That's better, not to mention that there are only more than 10,000 horses in his city, even if it is 100,000, Qin Mu is not afraid of him.

In order to boost morale, Qin Mu simply asked the soldiers to approach two hundred steps below the city and shouted arrogantly at the city head.

"Listen to the traitors in the city, your grandfather is here, hurry out of the city and surrender, so as to avoid death.

"Zhang Qi was raised by you, a son of a bitch, dare to go out of the city and eat your shit?"

"Zhang Qi, you shrunken turtle. I am your eighteenth generation ancestor. ”

“”

The shouts and scolding of the soldiers made Qin Mu cry and laugh when he heard it, you suddenly said that it was a grandfather, and you suddenly asked for the eighteenth generation ancestor of the Japanese family, this oolong

Qin Mu was also too lazy to care, and let the soldiers abuse him wantonly for a while, just to relieve the boredom and fatigue of the rapid march, which was still very effective in improving morale, from Yuanzhou to the north, there were still seventy miles to run.

Zhang Qi stood at the head of the city. Looking at the torches all over the mountains, it is difficult to determine how many officers and soldiers there are in the city, no matter how insulting the city is, how dare they go out of the city to fight at night.

Qin Muzhi is not here. did not stay in the city for long, and after the soldiers were scolded, Liusu took one hundred and twenty cavalry to monitor the movements of the rebels in Yuanzhou City. He led the army and rushed to Wanzai County in the north overnight.

The next morning, when the sky was dark, the rebels at the south gate saw a small hill suddenly two hundred paces away. Seeing that there was no movement outside the city, the south gate guard who called the nine knives saw that there was no movement outside the city, so he ordered someone to quietly open the south gate, and then led a group of rebels out of the city to check.

Fifty steps, thirty-two, twenty steps, through the faint mist of the early morning, finally saw the hill clearly.

"Ahh

I don't know who let out an exclamation first, which was particularly sharp and piercing in the quiet morning, looking at the mountains of heads twenty paces away, all bloodstained, hideous and terrifying;

The nine knives and the rebels behind him had all seen corpses, looted, and killed, but so many heads were piled together, many with dead eyes open, and blood-stained tongues sticking out, like ghosts seeking their lives, this kind of terrifying sight was not something that everyone could bear.

Nine knives only felt that his feet were weak, and his scalp seemed to explode, not to mention the rebels behind him, some of them were so frightened that they sat on the ground, steaming urine flowing out of their crotches before they knew it.

"Hurry back to the city, return to the city, and report to General Zhang" The lips of the nine knives trembled, and they took the lead to flee back, and the rebels who fell to the ground shouted "Oh my God! "I also ran back with a roll.

A group of people stumbled back to the south gate, and as soon as the gate closed, they immediately recounted the horrors they had seen to the defenders of the city.

"Heads, a lot of heads, like hills."

"What? That's a human head? ”

"Yes, we still can't lie to you, a lot of heads have become a hill, and they are all looking for dead people's eyes, as if they are looking for someone to ask for their lives, saying how scary it is."

"I've heard that it's called Kyokan"

"Oh my God!"

Zhang Qi soon received the report and hurried to the south gate, at this time the first line of sunlight rose in the east, and looking out from the south gate tower, you can clearly see the heads piled up into a hill, exuding an eerie spirit;

Among them, the huge and hideous head at the top is Yu Daneng's, the angry eyes are still open, and the scattered hair is gently blown by the morning breeze, looking terrifying, even if Zhang Qi looks at it, his scalp can't help but tingle, let alone ordinary rebels.

Seeing that his soldiers were talking and losing their courage, Zhang Qi hurriedly sent a thousand men and horses to bury the heads outside the city, and the people who went out of the city found that there was a wooden sign next to Jingguan, which was written with the crimes committed by Yu Daneng and others, and warned the rebels in the city that if they did not repent and reformed themselves, they took the initiative to disband and go home, and this Jingguan was their example.

The head was buried, but the feeling of horror could not be buried, and the atmosphere in the city was very gloomy, and everyone's heart felt as if a big stone was pressing.

The scout horses sent by Zhang finally found out that it were the officers and soldiers from Ganzhou who broke into Yuanzhou City last night, and at the same time determined that the main commander would be Qin Mu, and there were only 2,000 men and horses.

He hadn't heard Qin Mu's name, but this was not the point, the point was that Qin Mu slaughtered a thousand of his men and horses in one fell swoop, and only three of them could escape, and the rest of the heads were cut off and built into a high Jingguan, which shows how ruthless Qin Mu is.

They had progressed so smoothly in the past few months that most people thought that all the officers and soldiers were vulnerable, and now Qin Mu used those thousand hideous heads to tell them that retribution was coming.

Qin Mu walked around the city and headed straight north, the target was obviously Wanzai County in the north.

Zhang Qi checked the map, and vaguely understood what Qin Mu's purpose was in attacking Wanzai County, he hurriedly sent his general Liang Yingcai to lead a thousand men and horses to hurriedly pursue north, and then set off with 6,000 troops, preparing to annihilate Qin Mu under Wanzai City, in order to save the morale of the low Mi, and at the same time avoid being attacked on both sides in the future.

Liang Yingcai hurriedly marched north with a thousand men and horses, and he could see the corpses of his own horses from time to time along the way, no wonder none of the horses sent came back, and their feelings were all killed;

Unable to find out the situation ahead, Liang Yingcai was like a blind man, his heart began to feel uneasy, and the speed of the march slowed down, and when they walked twenty miles on thin ice, crossed a high slope, and came to a relatively open area, they saw more than a hundred black-armored cavalry, like a cold giant arrow coming out of the string, and the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder.

"Quick, array, array." Liang Yingcai yelled urgently.

The rebels were already nervous all the way, and Liang Yingcai's voice shouted urgently, causing the tight string in the hearts of his men and horses to break instantly, and they panicked one by one.

Finally put the battle array in place, more than a hundred iron horsemen on Su Jin's side were like giant arrows off the string, rushing wildly, the sonorous sound of iron hooves was like thunder, rolling up dust and flying, making the vision blurred, only to see some shadowy black shadows looming in the dust.

There was a shortage of horses in the south, and Liang Yingcai's rebels had never encountered such a fierce cavalry charge, and the astonishing momentum that destroyed the mountains and seas made the feet of the timid begin to tremble, and the palms of their hands were full of cold sweat, and a heart seemed to be about to jump up in the chest, and nothing could be heard in the ears, only the roar of horses' hooves.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Liang Yingcai himself was covered in sweat and yelled inwardly.

"Kill!" Su Jin's side suddenly roared in unison, destroying the mountains, frightening some rebels with trembling hands and feet, and the arrows actually shot at the companions in front.

Su Jin led the team to rush through the sparse rain of arrows, thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, Peng! More than 100 iron horsemen were like giant axes, fiercely slashing into the rebel formation, and the rebels who were not as good as the scarecrows were knocked upside down and flew up, and the snowy sabers reflected the morning sun, bringing out a puff of demonic blood.

Su Jin took the lead, like the arrow of a giant arrow, constantly wedged into the rebel formation, normal people will be frightened and panicked in the face of a running buffalo, not to mention more than a hundred galloping war horses, that thrilling momentum is by no means ordinary people dare to resist head-on.

"Oh my God!" Most of the rebels were so frightened that they fled to the sides, turning into corpses if they couldn't do so.

The front of Su Jin's impact was as if it had been slashed by the giant axe of the gods, and a three-zhang wide blank space was brought, and this blank area was still expanding, allowing his more than 100 cavalry to easily chisel through, and then turned back, and rushed into the enemy formation again with a deafening roar.

The rebels who were scattered were disarmed with weapons and armor, and fled to the slopes on both sides of the hill crying and shouting, and Su Jin chased straight down the slope and slashed and killed more than a hundred rebels before giving up.

What they did next made the rebels who fled up the hillside even more dumbfounded, only to see that Su Jin left fifty people on the horse to guard, and the rest quickly jumped off their horses, and on the slope the rebels lowered their eyelids, cutting off the heads of the rebels who died in battle.

Nearly two hundred heads were soon piled up on the side of the road, forming a small Jingguan, and after doing all this, more than 100 iron horsemen whistled and walked away. (To be continued......)
