Chapter 618: Exorcism (5)
"Boom!" With a loud bang, broken logs flew in all directions, and a large gap suddenly opened in the camp wall.
Originally, the camp of the Qin army was only temporarily erected, and it was only six or seven days before and after, so although the fortifications were built very well, they were not strong, so under the violent impact of dozens of black bears and tigers, they naturally couldn't withstand it, and they were knocked away.
At this time, hundreds of wild beasts had gathered on the camp wall, and nearly 100 of them were stabbed and injured in the trenches of the camp, and now there was finally a breakthrough, and naturally they were all rushing to break through the gap and enter the camp of the Qin army.
In fact, this gap is not big, the width is less than one zhang, and there are only enough for four or five beasts to enter at most side by side, if it is the largest black bear in size, it can only go with three at most, but first, the number of Qin troops guarding the camp wall is not much, and the camp wall collapsed, and a lot of injuries were killed and injured; Second, even if there were still a few soldiers who rushed up to intercept the breakthrough of the beast herd, but they were rushed by the tiger and the black bear, and they were either knocked down or knocked away, which could not stop the breakthrough of the beast herd at all, and as a result, the beasts suddenly swarmed in, broke into the camp of the Qin army, and immediately scurried around in the camp.
Originally, dozens of apes had already stirred up the camp of the Qin army, and now all kinds of beasts such as bears, tigers, leopards, wolves and other beasts broke into the camp together, which was even more powerful, because although the apes broke into the camp before, the Qin soldiers were not too scared, and they could chase the monkeys all over the camp, but they couldn't catch them, but they were people chasing the monkeys and running. But now, there are all kinds of fierce beasts such as bears, tigers, leopards, and wolves, and they are rushing in, and there are a few Qin soldiers who dare to chase the black bear and chase the tiger, and they can't run. Therefore, the camp of the Qin army suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes, and the Qin soldiers were forced by the wild beasts to run around the camp and hide in all directions, although a small number of Qin soldiers dared to attack the beasts, but there were too few Qin soldiers who really dared to do it, and they could not pose much threat to the beasts, and as a result, many soldiers were caught by bears and tigers, leopards and wolves, and screamed for a while. When the other soldiers saw it, they were even more frightened, and their fighting spirit would be lost.
And the soldiers are forced to be anxious, maybe they can resist for a while, there are only a few people concentrated, and they can also kill one or two wolves or leopards, but the war horse has no resistance at all, this is due to the determination of the biological chain relationship of the animal, not human beings can change, as a result, when they see the bear, tiger, leopard and wolf, the war horse is even more frightened to run wildly, kicking and trampling, often a tiger can get hundreds of horses to run around, as a result, natural people run on horses, push and trample each other, and accidentally step on and hurt many people.
At this time, Meng Tian, who was commanding on the wooden platform of the camp wall, was also dumbfounded, and his mind was blank, although Meng Tian also knew that if this development continued, his own battalion would definitely not be able to hold it, but he didn't know how to deal with it at all, because this time he was not facing an ordinary enemy, but a group of beasts, to be honest, even Meng Tian's heart was hairy. There were also a lot of Qin soldiers and generals gathered around Meng Tian, but they all looked at each other, and some even wondered if they were having a nightmare.
Just when everyone was at a loss, I don't know what happened, the beasts turned their heads one after another, withdrew from the Qin army's camp, and after a while, they all evacuated the Qin army's camp, leaving only a small number of beast corpses, but at this time, the entire camp was already a mess and chaotic.
But Meng Tian and the others didn't know what was going on, why the beasts attacked the Qin army's camp, and why they suddenly retreated, so they were all still stunned in place, and no one moved.
And at this moment, only to hear "Boom! "Boom!" "Boom!" , A few loud noises came, only to see that the camp wall of the Qin army was suddenly opened five or six big gaps, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and countless cavalry entered from each gap respectively, breaking into the camp of the Qin army, and a few Qin soldiers near the gap were stabbed and cut down by guns before they could understand it, and they died in a daze.
It turned out that when the beasts were making trouble in the Qin army's camp, Jiang Huanwu had led more than 14,000 cavalry troops to infiltrate the Qin army's camp, and divided the cavalry into five teams, which were killed from five different directions. At this time, the camp of the Qin army was disturbed by the beasts, and few people were still defending the camp wall, even if a few soldiers found out about the approach of the cavalry of the Dai Army, and hurriedly went to report to the person in charge, but now the whole camp was in chaos, the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not know the soldiers, and they couldn't find anyone for half a day, and they reported something, so the Dai army almost encountered a little obstacle in the process of approaching the Qin army camp.
The cavalry of the Gao Dynasty Army approached the Qin army's camp, immediately threw out the rope, lassoed the camp wall, and then pulled back together, immediately pulling the camp wall down, and then rode into the Qin army's camp.
The Dai army is divided into five ways to enter the Qin army's camp, and the gap opened is much larger than the gap made by the beast herd just now, the smallest is also four or five zhang wide, so almost all of them are crowded into the Qin army's camp, and the beast herd is making trouble, the order in the Qin army's camp is completely disrupted, and there is no defensive ability at all. As a result, the cavalry galloped across the camp of the Qin army, rushing back and forth, slashing with guns and bayonets, and the Qin soldiers were killed in pieces and fell to the ground. And the Qin soldiers who came back to their senses had no will to fight, and immediately scattered again to dodge and escape, just like the beasts that had just escaped.
However, the cavalry of the Dai army is not comparable to beasts, perhaps in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the cavalry is not as good as the tiger and the black bear, but the number is far above the beast herd, and it is a group battle, and the Qin army has long been chaotic, so it is naturally unable to resist, so it can only let the cavalry rush left and right in the camp to kill, as if entering a no-man's land. And the cavalry didn't just blindly kill and chop, seeing that the Qin army was powerless to resist, they immediately set fire to the Qin army's camp.
There are a lot of things that cause fire in the barracks, tents, chariots, camp walls, grain and grass, plus the Dai army set fire in many places, and the Qin army is powerless to stop it, as a result, after a while, the Qin army's camp is dotted, full of fire, and the more it burns, the more it burns, and in a blink of an eye, it has shown the trend of burning the prairie in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Meng Tian came down from the wooden platform on the camp wall, and watched the Dai Jun cavalry kill into his camp, slashing and setting fire at will, Meng Tian's heart was naturally unwilling, although he had the intention to organize the Qin army to fight with the Dai army, but at this time Meng Tian could only command the two or three hundred people around him, and he could not organize effective resistance at all. Therefore, he could only avoid the cavalry of the Dai army, and at the same time, he was also thinking about whether to send someone to rescue the other Qin troops.
This time, the Qin army was divided into three routes, two in front and one after the village, and the two front armies were led by Meng Tian with 70,000 troops, together with more than 500 chariots, in Hongshang Saixi Xiazhai, as the main force; Li Xin led 30,000 troops to go down to the east of Hongshang, for a feint; The distance between the two armies was about 20 miles, and Han Teng and Meng Wu led 30,000 troops, and they went down to the rear of the two armies, which were more than 20 miles away from both armies, and they were connected by two roads. The three Qin armies formed an inverted triangle and formed a strong position against each other, so that if one side was attacked, the other two could immediately rush to meet them. However, this time the situation was special, first a group of beasts launched an attack on the Qin army camp, Meng Tian was at a loss for a moment, and forgot to ask the two friendly forces for help. And when the army of the Dai army came, the defeat of the Qin army was like a mountain, and it was too late to send a distress message.
After a while, the fire in the camp of the Qin army gradually broke out, and it also illuminated a radius of hundreds of paces, and the army of this era also sent a second batch of troops, 30,000 infantry troops led by Yuan Xuan, into the battlefield. Because although the cavalry army can completely disrupt the enemy army, it still depends on the infantry army to clean up the battlefield, clean up the mess, solve sporadic battles, and completely control the situation, which is also determined by the characteristics of each army.
Seeing the infantry of the Dai army thrown into the battlefield, Meng Tian also knew very well that the Dai army was going to completely cross the Qin army, and now that the general trend of the Qin army was gone, even if it was too late to send someone to ask for help from the other two Qin armies at this time, it was impossible for the Qin army to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, and if he remained in the camp, I am afraid he would not be able to escape.
Therefore, Meng Tian had to order to withdraw from the camp first, and then make plans. Fortunately, there are only two or three hundred people around him, although there are no war horses, but they are still relatively flexible in action, and the fire in the camp is now booming, so the surrounding area of the camp is illuminated, and there is no need to walk in the dark, which can be regarded as providing a convenience for Meng Tian and others.
In fact, not only Meng Tian, but also the other Qin soldiers also knew that this battle could not be fought again, so they all withdrew from the camp one after another, and after Meng Tian withdrew, he collected a lot of remnants, and slowly gathered more than 1,000 people.
Walking out of the distance of four or five miles in one breath, although there is still fire shining through, but the sound of shouting and killing has gradually become inaudible, and looking back at the direction of the camp, I saw the fire rushing to the sky, like a mountain of flames, and at this time there is still a long time before dawn.
Meng Tian estimated that it should be safer when he arrived here, and now the brightness was enough, even if there were agents or beasts catching up, he could find it extremely timely, if he went forward, the fire would weaken, and it would be bad. So Meng Tian ordered the whole army to rest in place, and sent some people to collect the other remnants of Longlong.
After sitting down, Meng Tian calmed down and thought about how this battle was fought, how the Qin army was defeated, to be honest, until now, Meng Tian's mind was still a little confused, in a trance, and there was a feeling of unreality.
After recalling tonight's process, Meng Tian had to come to the conclusion that the herd of beasts attacking the camp of the Qin army was under the command of the Dai Jun, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why the herd did not attack the Dai Army, and the beast herd and the Dai Army's cavalry were almost seamlessly coordinated.
And after coming to such a conclusion, Meng Tian was puzzled by a new question, how could the Dai army have the ability to drive beasts and fight? And is there any way for the Qin army to deal with the herd of beasts of the Dai army.
