Chapter 131: A Moonless Night, Reappearing in the Night Attack (I)
There is no moon in the dark night, and the sparse stars dot the night sky, which is bleak and lonely.
On the banks of the Qingyuan River, the autumn wind is whisking, and the zuihou left by the sun is swept away in the breeze.
Late at night, in the Li Li camp on the east bank, the people and horses had already rested, silent, and the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Under the dark night sky, the quiet Qingyuan River suddenly sounded the sound of people and horses crossing the river, instantly tearing through the silence of the night.
10,000 Xiu Tu Tie rode horses and wrapped their hooves in cloth, bypassed Huan Fei's former army Tiger Roar Battalion, and went straight to Li Li's camp on the east bank.
On the east bank of the Qingyuan River, 500 steps away from Li Li's camp.
Dian Zhen, the prince of Xiu Tu, took the lead in crossing the river, Le Ma stopped, the cold silver spear was clenched in his hand, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he looked coldly at the unsuspecting Li Li camp, and the corners of his mouth appeared with fierce murderous intent.
When all the cavalry behind him crossed the river, Dian Zhen's spear was raised, pointing directly at the gate of Li Li's camp, and shouted in a low voice: "Ahead is Li Li'er's camp, sons, kill me fiercely, and kill the Han army without leaving a piece of armor!" Kill! β
With Dian Zhen's order, more than 10,000 iron horsemen rushed out in response, soldiers like forests, battle flags hunting, and fiercely pounced on the big camp.
In front of the Li Li camp.
Under the dim torches, dozens of soldiers leaned against the fence and dozed off with their weapons. A gust of autumn wind blew, and they couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then folded their arms, curled up their upper bodies and continued to sleep.
"Da Da Da -!"
Half-asleep, the soldiers guarding the camp suddenly shook slightly, squinting and glancing into the distance.
"Ahγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» enemy attack!"
After the battlement of arrows on the gate, an experienced team leader suddenly shouted, and immediately ignited a rocket, shooting towards the torrent of iron hooves a hundred paces away.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a rocket pierced the night sky, revealing the figure of more than 10,000 Xiutu iron horsemen rushing in front of the gate.
"Archers ready, put! Shoot Hugh and slaughter the barbarians, and defend the gate! β
After the team released the rocket, they continued to shoot with their bows and shouted.
In an instant, more than 200 archers emerged from behind the arrow stacks, and they all mounted their bows and wound them to shoot the fierce Hugh Tu Iron Cavalry.
"Bang bang bang!"
With a loud bang, the antlers in front of Li Li's camp were picked out one by one, and thousands of Xiutu warriors came straight to Yuanmen.
"Whoosh!"
The roaring rain of arrows instantly pierced the night sky, went straight up with the wind, and rushed straight to the archers on the gate.
In an instant, hundreds of Wuwei archers were nailed to death on the stake by arrows, and hundreds of archers still escaped and continued to shoot Hutu's cavalry.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Under the gate, hundreds of Hutu cavalry pulled the huge log tied to the rope sideways and slammed into the gate, hitting again and again, causing the gate to crumble and rattle.
"Report! Commander, a large number of slaughter cavalry raid camps suddenly appeared outside the West Yuan Gate, and three hundred archers and two hundred foot soldiers of our army are desperately resisting, please make a decision quickly! β
In the big tent of the Chinese army in Li Li's camp, a tun commander with a wound on his left shoulder hurriedly rushed into the big tent and said to Teng Xiao, who was reading a book under the oil lamp.
That's right, the person sitting in the big camp is not Li Li, but Teng Xiao, the commander of the Wuwei battalion.
"It's finally here! The commander thought that there would be no enemy attack on the camp tonight, but before leaving, the lord told me not to underestimate the enemy. Therefore, the commander did not dare to slack off, the armor was not removed, he did not sleep late at night, and he read at night. I don't want the lord to be clever, these Hugh slaughter barbarians are really bold, and they dare to attack our army camp at night!
They came just in time, and I was just about to take off my armor and go to bed, when they came. This is Hugh Tu Barbarian looking for his own death, Hugh blames Teng for killing tonight! β
In the midst of muttering to himself, Teng Xiao was dressed in battle armor, stood up, strode out of the big tent, and shouted: "Where are the soldiers, line up to fight!" β
"Da Da Da --"
In the midst of Teng Xiao's shouting, 5,000 warrior cavalry and 2,000 Jin Qiwei guards of the Wuwei battalion instantly emerged from the left and right sides of the big tent of the Chinese army, and in a moment, they lined up in the open space outside the big tent to form the army, with swords and guns like a forest, killing machines rumbling, and morale rising.
Teng Xiao sat high on the top of the Cloud Treading Divine Horse, holding the meteorite halberd upside down in one hand, his eyes looked at the clanging gate violently, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his whole body was full of evil spirit.
Behind him, seven thousand war horsemen stood in front of the Chinese army's tent with a murderous awe, holding their breath and silencing, staring at the gate with blazing eyes, waiting for Teng Xiao to give the order to attack.
"Bang bangγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» bang!"
Under the violent impact of the Hugh Tu people, the heavy gate was finally overwhelmed and collapsed with a thud.
Suddenly, in the midst of the flying loess, thousands of Hutu iron horsemen swarmed in, screaming and rushing into the camp.
Dian Zhen took the lead, the first to rush into the gate, raised the gun, and led the army straight to the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp.
Two hundred steps.
One hundred and fifty steps.
One hundred and twenty steps.
Teng Xiao watched with a grim expression as the Hugh Tu Iron Horse pounced fiercely, secretly measuring the distance between the two sides in his heart.
When Xiu Tu's army rushed to one hundred and ten steps, Teng Xiao suddenly waved his big knife and shot out on his horse, "Kill!" β
Suddenly, seven thousand iron horsemen galloped out, prancing horses and raising spears, facing the Hugh Tu cavalry rushing in a hurry, and rushed forward to kill.
"Boom, boom!"
Teng Xiao, who took the lead, held a two-zhang long black halberd, and fought fiercely with the Hugh Tu barbarian general who was at the forefront.
In an instant, the halberd and the silver spear met in the air, and in a few breaths, they slammed six times in a row, sparks shot out, and the starlight flashed away, and the slamming sound roared.
In an instant, the war horse staggered by, Teng Xiao's expression was as usual, his arms were slightly paralyzed, there was no big problem, and the halberd in his hand was still sweeping left and right, instantly knocking down several Hutu cavalrymen.
The barbarian general who fought with Teng Xiao was none other than Dian Zhen, the prince of Hutu Tu.
Dian Zhen is brave, and has a long reputation among the Hutu tribes, and there are few lily generals under a two-zhang long iron and silver spear. There is only one exception, that is, he and his sister Dian Wuflawless fought two lilies, and they were evenly matched.
However, in the fight with Teng Xiao, Dian Zhen suffered a big loss. Under the six consecutive blows, his shoulders trembled, his arms were numb, the tiger's mouth cracked, the blood flowed like a stream, and the silver gun in his hand almost came out. A ferocious force poured into his chest, causing his five internal organs to tremble, his six internal organs to cramp, and a mouthful of blood to spurt out in the churning of blood. As soon as he joined forces, he had already suffered heavy losses, and his combat strength plummeted by half; Moreover, he was unable to fight again in a short time, his arms trembled, and he could only barely hold the silver spear without losing it, and he could not use his strength at all.
This is the first time since the Dian Zhen campaign that he has suffered such a serious injury, and with the strength of his top generals, he can't resist the head-on blow of the black-faced general.
"Bang Bang!"
The fierce cavalry rush of the two armies did not leave Dian Zhen a chance to breathe. In desperation, he could only hold the silver spear tightly with both hands to resist the Han cavalry's charge, which seemed extremely difficult and dangerous.
A moment later, Dian Zhen had many injuries all over his body, and he finally managed to fight his way out. When Lerma turned around, he gasped like a cow, and breathed in greedy air to relieve the wounds and wounds of his internal organs.
In the midst of his breath, Dian Zhen saw the Han general who had just injured him, leading the Han cavalry to rampage and kill all sides. Within a few breaths, dozens of Hutu cavalry died tragically under his halberd, and the Han army he led was extremely brave, killing Hugh Tu's cavalry and retreating, with heavy casualties.
Seeing his troops being slashed and slaughtered by the war cavalry led by the Han general, Dian Zhenzhen was like a knife, and he was furious.
But he couldn't do anything at this time, and he couldn't protect himself, so how could he take care of the soldiers under his command.
Until this moment, Dian Zhen suddenly remembered that his sister Wufang was right, the Wuwei Army under Li Li was extraordinary, and the fierce generals were like clouds.
Since Li Li entered Wuwei County, he has greatly expanded his troops and horses, recruited good ministers and fierce generals, and fought several fierce battles, all of which were invincible. In the battle of Dongshankou, the Wuwei army even killed Han Sui and Ma Teng's 100,000 troops and fled for hundreds of miles.
Therefore, Yunnan Wuflawless forces the main troops to garrison Zhangye, according to the pass, to prevent the Wuwei army from waving troops to attack.
However, the king of Hutu Dian Tang did not listen, and insisted on sending Dian Zhen to lead the army to attack Wuwei County, and personally led more than 30,000 troops to help the battle.
Dian Zhen did not dare to disobey his father's military orders, and he did not really take the Wuwei army in his heart, so he happily led his troops to invade the Wuwei border, trying to capture Wuwei County in one fell swoop, just like capturing Zhangye County, so as to stabilize his position as the eldest prince and lay a solid foundation for inheriting the throne in the future.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Dian Zhen led an army of 10,000 to attack Li Li's camp at night this time, trying to take advantage of its unstable foothold and attack it unprepared, break through the camp in one fell swoop, and kill Li Li by surprise.
In fact, Li Lida's military was indeed unprepared, and the camp did not set up an ambush in advance.
However, the Han army camp was indeed extremely strong, and the soldiers defending the camp were also very tenacious, and a tall and sturdy Yuanmen Shengsheng blocked the Dian Zhen army for a quarter of an hour, so that the Han army's iron cavalry could quickly organize the army to meet the battle.
To Dian Zhen's surprise, the combat effectiveness of the Wuwei Army is too strong!
A mere 7,000 cavalry was able to defeat the 10,000 Xiu Tu army led by him, and it was still a head-on attack, and the Xiu Tu warriors were crowded at the gate, in a dilemma, with countless casualties.
Under the heavy damage of his own, Dian Zhen no longer had any hope of winning this night attack on the camp.
My family knows my own business.
Dian Zhen is well aware of the temperament of the soldiers who slaughtered the soldiers. When fighting a tailwind battle, the Hugh Tu soldiers were unstoppable and unusual. However, once the war does not go well, or the battle situation falls into a stalemate, the blood and spirit of the warriors will be quickly extinguished, and the will to fight will not be strong, and they will not be able to fight this kind of hard-fought bloody battle at all.
This is the ill left by the Hutu tribe for many years of passive avoidance of war, deliberate preservation of strength, closed-door training, and long-term slackness of the battle array.
On weekdays, the Hugh Tu warriors are extremely arrogant, competitive, and brave, but after encountering a really tough opponent, they are timid, shrinking their heads and tails, and they are all bad seeds.
Seeing the failure of the attack, Dian Zhen took more than 100 personal soldiers to bypass the surrounding camp tents and wait for the opportunity to retreat to the gate.
After a while, Dian Zhen suddenly stopped his horse, looking at the hundreds of camps of the empty rear army with a shocked face, his face turned pale in an instant, and he was dumbfounded.
In the huge Han army camp, there were only 7,000 cavalry, so where did Li Lizhong's army and 8,000 cavalry go? (To be continued)
