Chapter 707: Night Attack on the Huns

"The moon is too bright tonight to hide anything, and this kind of moonlight will not be bad for our surprise attack."

"Everything can't be generalized, it's good to be brighter, you can see it more clearly, so that it is more convenient for us on the way here, anyway, the Hun army is like that, so the moonlight is brighter, and it is more beneficial to us." Gao Yuan said as he pointed to a brightly lit place a few miles away, and said with a smile: "It seems that the banquet of the Huns has not yet been completed, and we can just go over and have a good time." ”

Chunyu Zhongxiu looked ahead, didn't say anything, and looked at Shui Xinyue, who was on the plateau, and saw that she was still wearing a veil, but her eyes were calm and there was nothing unusual.

Although Chunyu Zhongxiu participated in the Battle of Hongshang with the plateau, but throughout the war, she was strategizing in the big camp and did not come to the battlefield in person, and now it is the first time to go into battle, although she is not without the experience of life and death, but at this time there is still some nervousness.

Tonight's night is very clear, the moon and stars are scarce, the entire grassland is illuminated with silver, if it is on the battlefield in the Central Plains, this is indeed not a good weather to launch a surprise attack, but the vigilance and defensive awareness of the Xiongnu army is obviously not as good as the armies of the Chinese countries. In the armies of various countries in China, whether they are strong or weak in combat, there are still some basic battlefield rules, and when they camp at night, they will at least use chariots or wooden fences to build some fortifications, and they will also leave some soldiers who watch and patrol at night, and they will not indulge in drinks in the camp.

However, the Xiongnu army spared this qiē, and according to the scout's report, the Xiongnu army did not build any fortifications in the camp, nor did it leave many soldiers who kept vigil, let alone patrolling troops. Moreover, two scout soldiers even sneaked into the camp of the Huns, and found that the camp was brightly lit, and the generals of the Huns also lit more than a dozen bonfires in the open space of the camp, set up cattle and sheep barbecue, drank fine wine, and several Huns were playing with each other in the open space to add to the joy of drinking.

If it weren't for the fact that the Huns learned the purpose of this Hun army from the captured Hun soldiers, no one would believe that the Huns were here to fight, and thought that they had come to hold a barbecue carnival.

Of course, the Hun army is not ignorant of these military common sense, camping without fortifications, to the practice of the Hun army, and barbecue and drinking, in fact, is the custom of the grassland tribes, because if you don't do anything at night, it is difficult to survive the long night. However, when the Xiongnu army invaded the south, when camping at night, it would still leave enough night vigil soldiers and patrolling men and horses to maintain a fairly high vigilance.

But this time the Xiongnu army did not go south to invade, but fought on the grassland, and was preparing to raid the Bailing tribe, and never thought that the Bailing tribe would attack him, and the Xiongnu's camp was almost sixty miles away from the Bailing camp, so in the eyes of the Huns, they were absolutely safe and did not need to be guarded at all.

The plateau received the news that the Hun army was stationed in the evening, although the distance of more than fifty or sixty miles was not long for the cavalry, and it could be reached by walking for another hour at most, but the Hun army was not in a hurry, but camped early to rest, obviously wanting to recuperate and wait until tomorrow to give the Bailing clan a head-on attack.

However, of course, the plateau will not let the Hun army get what it wants, although this is only a vanguard force, but it is just right to use this Hun army to open the knife and give the Huns a dismount. Since the Hun army did not come, then he was not polite, so he took the initiative to find the door. Tonight's night was very good, and the moonlight was like washing, which happened to be conducive to marching at night, so Gao Yuan immediately ordered, leaving only a small number of scout troops to guard the camp, and he led the Fan Yong Army, two hundred Bailing warriors and two hundred wolves, to raid the camp of the Xiongnu army overnight.

There are fewer people and fewer people, that is, it is convenient to move, there is a lot less trouble, and the Dai army is basically ready, and they can set off at any time, so after Gao Yuan gave the order, the Dai Jun and the two hundred soldiers of the Bai Ling clan have already completed their preparations, and left the camp by taking advantage of the moonlight to march to the northeast.

The moonlit night, although not conducive to the assault, but it did be of great help to the march, the speed of the army was not much worse than the daytime, but the plateau in order to save the soldiers' body, so did not use the rapid march, in addition to the hope of delaying a little longer, so that the Hun soldiers could sleep a little more soundly.

In this way, after more than an hour of marching, the army came to the vicinity of the Xiongnu camp, and the plateau also received a report from the scout soldiers who had been monitoring the edge of the Xiongnu camp, knowing that the Xiongnu camp was empty and almost undefended.

Gao Yuan was also greatly relieved, so he immediately ordered that the two hundred wolves he had brought with him first attack the Xiongnu camp.

Xiaobai raised his wolf head and let out a long wolf howl at the bright moon in the sky, and the other wolves listened to it, and they also howled at the sky, and for a while, the wolf howl of "woo" kept sounding, although he knew that these were his own wolves, but he still heard his heart straight.

After Xiao Bai howled, he shook the wolf hair, driving the hair on his neck like a lion's sideburns to shake, and then spread his limbs and ran in the direction of the Hun army camp.

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Attack." As he spoke, his toes tapped the red dragon's abdomen, and the red dragon let out a long hiss, and his four hooves soared into the air and slammed forward, and the other soldiers of the army also shook the reins, urged the war horses away, and followed the plateau to kill the Huns' camp.

At this time, in the camp of the Hun army, most of the Hun soldiers were asleep, only a few leaders were still drinking around the fire, even if there were a few soldiers who kept vigil, they were not sleeping, they sat around chatting and laughing to pass the time, and no one noticed that the army had approached them.

Of course, the plateau first sent wolves to attack, because the wolves are not horses, there is no hard rubber on the wolf claws, there is no obvious sound when running, and the movement is not large, and although the moonlight tonight is very good, there is still a huge gap between visibility and daytime, and the general visual distance is only two or three hundred meters away, so it was not discovered by the Hun soldiers who kept vigil.

It wasn't until it was very close that the soldiers heard the wolf howl of "whin", but it was normal for the sound of wolf howling on the grassland, so no one cared, but then the sound of wolf howling became more and more, louder and louder, at least not less than a hundred, and some war horses seemed to know the danger, and screamed uneasily, so that some people felt that something was wrong, and it was difficult to meet a wolf pack.

Of course, it is not surprising to encounter wolves on the grassland, but the Hun soldiers all know that the average wolf pack will not attack the nomadic tribe lightly, unless there is an absolute advantage in numbers, you must know that there are more than 10,000 people in the camp now, and there are generally 12,000 wolves, even if it is a big wolf pack, so what kind of wolf pack does not have long eyes and dares to attack itself.

At this moment, some Hun soldiers also saw clearly, and countless wolves rushed out of the darkness and rushed towards them. So some of the Hun soldiers exclaimed: "Wolves, wolves, there are wolves!" ”

Some Hun soldiers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and went to the wolf, so in the wolf howl, there were also many arrows breaking through the air.

The Huns are indeed worthy of being nomads, the archery skills are extremely exquisite, although it is at night, but the hit rate is still not bad, after a row of arrows is fired, there is a string of wails in the wolf pack immediately, within the eye of the eye, it can be seen very clearly, there are two or three wolves in the high-speed running on the way to the sudden toppling, a row of forward roll several times.

However, there were not many Hun soldiers on the night vigil after all, and the range of bows and arrows was generally only fifty or sixty meters, so although a few wolves were shot down, they still could not stop the attack of the wolves.

A Hun soldier shot two arrows in a row, and was pulling out the third arrow from the quiver, but at this moment, he saw a white-haired wolf with a huge body like a pony appear in front of his eyes, although this Hun soldier had also shot several wolves, but he had never seen such a big wolf, and it was still white fur, so he couldn't help but panic.

And at this moment of hesitation, the two wolf claws had already pounced on his shoulders, and his whole body was immediately thrown to the ground, and then he saw the blood-red wolf's mouth wide open, revealing Sensen's fangs, and biting down on his throat.

As the wolves broke in, the Hun soldiers were pounced on one after another, and many soldiers let out a scream, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. And some of the Hun soldiers saw it, and they didn't dare to fight with the wolves, so they hurriedly ran to the camp.

Wolves have rushed into the camp of the Huns, see who bites whom, the camp is all over the place, although the vast majority of the Hun soldiers have hunted the wolves, but people still have an instinctive fear of wolves after all, because it is in the middle of the night, and a large number of wolves break in, far away with bows and arrows to shoot OK, and once into the close combat of the human wolves, many Hun soldiers are still timid to retreat. And at this time, the vast majority of the Hun soldiers had already fallen asleep, and they were awakened by the howling of wolves in their sleep, which also made the Hun soldiers unprepared at all, so they didn't have time to dress at all, and they were so frightened that they even rolled and crawled, and ran around the camp.

After a while, most of the entire Xiongnu camp was in chaos, and at this time, the Xiongnu generals who were still barbecuing and drinking also found that something was wrong, so they took up arms and rushed to fight the wolves.

Of course, there were only about 200 wolves that broke into the Hun camp, and compared with the Hun army, it was still far from it, although it was caught off guard by the Hun army, but if the Hun soldiers came to their senses, they would definitely not be opponents. But at this moment, the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and the substitute army arrived.
