Chapter 194: Operation Wildfire (Part II)

The cavalrymen of Shanhai County, riding their war horses, began to sneak into the hinterland of the western part of the town step by step. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the cavalry set out, it was already ninety o'clock in the evening, and only the faint starlight outside could discern things. Coupled with the shade of weeds, it was already difficult to tell if it was a human figure or something else.

Due to the failure of the 100-man team sent out to investigate, the headquarters in the western part of the town once again issued a martial law order. The patrol soldiers in the western part of the town, although they received orders from the command twice to strengthen their vigilance. However, all night, there was not even a ghost shadow, and I couldn't help but relax my vigilance and yawn one by one.

In addition, there has been no war in recent years, and the Tianyan tribe is used to being the king and hegemon in this grassland, and the soldiers are inevitably a little slack in their thinking. The disappearance during the day was nothing more than an accident.

Maybe those patrolling guys sneaked into which girl's tent to be dashing. The soldiers on patrol are pulling some wind and snow from each other while burying them to pass the time.

"Hey, you say, isn't the marshal too cautious, but he lost a few patrolmen, and he made such a big fuss. Whoever harms his brothers at night suffers outside to sin. "There are soldiers who complain.

"Bastard thing, even the handsome man dares to say bad things, don't die." The ten-captain who led the team reprimanded him, and Lakshin's prestige in the western part of the town was very high, so he had to be careful when he spoke.

The soldier also knew that he had said the wrong thing on impulse, but fortunately, the Captain Ten was his friend, and said with a smile: "Captain, I know that I am wrong, you don't want to report it." ā€

The military regulations of the steppe are very harsh, even cruel. If someone is really serious about this, then the soldier will not be able to eat and walk around. A horsewhip, that's definitely running.

"Don't worry!" The Ten-Captain didn't want to make a big fuss either.

In the grasslands in July, there are many mosquitoes and they are very difficult. It is also thanks to the fact that these soldiers are quite dedicated, although they complain non-stop, they finally do not leave their posts without permission.

And not far from them, the cavalry of various battalions in Shanhai County dismounted one after another, holding the reins in their hands, like a group of ghosts, slowly approaching the soldiers on guard in the west of the town.

After entering the effective firing range, the cavalry crouched on the ground, tried to hide their whereabouts, bent their bows and arrows, and shot the vigilant warriors one by one without making any sound.

The cavalry that took the lead were the elite of each battalion, and their marksmanship was outstanding. As for sticking it up, a close assassination, in the steppe, it almost doesn't work.

The soldiers on the periphery of the western part of the town were constantly cut off. Arriving at a distance of five kilometers from the camp in the west of the town, the vigilance here has been raised to another level. Moreover, the sound of fighting can easily arouse the alarm of the camp.

Therefore, the Shanhai County cavalry stopped advancing.

Ouyang Shuo rode on the black whirlwind and looked at the camp in the west of the town in the distance.

Because it is a permanent camp, the camp in the western part of the town is not like the previous Tianlian tribe, which only uses tents to form a circle one after another to form a defense.

The camp in the west of the town is no different from the camp in the Central Plains, with a tall wooden wall erected around it, and arrow towers at the four corners, only in the south, a gate is opened.

Such a camp, with only 2,000 cavalry, will definitely not be able to be attacked, and it can only be fought in the field.

And field warfare is the best way for nomadic tribes to fight. According to the intelligence information detected by the Military Intelligence Department, there were 5,000 cavalry in the west of the town, of which 1,000 were heavy cavalry, and the remaining 4,000 were light cavalry.

Nomadic tribes often send light cavalry to lure the enemy first, and then detour back to the enemy's two flanks to outflank, at the critical moment, the heavy cavalry kills, launches an attack, and defeats the enemy in one fell swoop, deciding the outcome of the war.

The cavalrymen dismounted one after another and began to set up a fierce fire and oil array in front of the camp in the western part of the town. This is Lin Yi's strategy, luring the enemy out of the camp, and then using fierce fire oil to form a flame protection to block the enemy's pursuit.

Once all arrangements were made, everyone evacuated.

……

July 28, 6 a.m.

The first battalion of the pioneer battalion, which served as the task of luring the enemy, under the leadership of Lin Yi, marched to the camp in the west of the town, and along the way, all the vigilance was simply shot and killed.

Lakshin, who had not slept soundly all night, got up early. Before he could react, he received a report from the guards: "Report to the marshal, a group of rogues has appeared in the south of the camp, about 500 people, and is attacking the camp." ā€

Lakshin was stunned, unbelievable, "You're talking about a rogue?" And there are only five hundred people, who gave them the guts to come and attack our camp? ā€

The guards did not dare to slack off, and replied solemnly: "Yes, Dashuai, five hundred rogues." ā€

"Let's go!" Laksin decided to go and see for himself.

Lakshin climbed the arrow tower of the camp, looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the troops in the distance, who had been dressed as rogue bandits, were vigorously cleaning the guard troops on the periphery, and they were still whistling, and their expressions were extremely arrogant.

This kind of naked provocation was intolerable to Lakshin, and he ordered a light cavalry commander to lead his troops out of the camp to teach this group of rogues who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to teach them a lesson.

The commander of the thousand was very excited when he received the order. In his opinion, it is easy to defeat the rogue in front of him, this is a battle achievement sent for nothing, it seems that the marshal still values himself very much.

A thousand light cavalry, like a sharp arrow, rushed out of the camp.

Unexpectedly, those rogues turned out to be a group of soft eggs, and they were useless. Seeing the cavalry rushing out, like a flock of sheep, they immediately turned around and ran, extremely embarrassed.

Relying on the speed advantage of the frog horse, Huhe did not give up and directly led his troops to pursue.

On the arrow tower of the camp, looking at the Huhe Department that gradually disappeared from sight, the staff officer in the west of the town, E Risi, looked confused, turned his head and said to Lakshen: "Marshal, the situation seems to be a little wrong, these gangs of rogues are weird, and the retreat is also weird, will there be fraud in this?" ā€

Lakshin nodded, "It's a little unusual. In this way, the remaining troops were ordered to be on standby at all times. Come to think of it, with the ability to call peace, even if the other party is cheating, he can evacuate safely. ā€

"Understood!"

On the other side, Huhe led the department to pursue more than ten kilometers, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with the Liukou. Suddenly, two streams of rogue rushed out from both sides again, and immediately outflanked the Hohe Department.

"It's not good, it's a fraud!" Hohe was immediately alert, knowing that he had been ambushed by the enemy.

It's a pity that his troops are advancing rapidly at the moment, and they can't stop at all for a while. The two cavalry of the bread copy were like two sharp knives, piercing into the hinterland of the Hohe Department from both sides.

Facing the light cavalry of the nomadic tribe, Ouyang Shuo was not stupid enough to choose to compete with the opponent in the art of riding and archery, and as soon as he came up, he launched hand-to-hand combat, using the advantage of Tang swords and armor to attack the enemy's weakness.

The light cavalry of the nomadic tribe had little protection, but wore a simple leather armor. In the face of the Tang knife, it was almost fatal.

The sharp Tang knife easily cut through the enemy's leather armor, and the knife hit the flesh, either dead or wounded.

A scuffle ensued.

Finally, the Hohe Department began to stabilize its position and prepared for a tough battle with the other party. At this time, Lin Yibu, who had fled at the beginning, had already turned around and formed a siege against the Hohe Department.

Huhe immediately knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and decisively ordered the troops to retreat.

It's a pity that Ouyang Shuo didn't give him a chance to retreat. The 2,000-strong Shanhai County cavalry launched a frantic pursuit of the Hohe Department, the blood stained the grassland red, and the war horses neighed, resounding in the sky.

After nearly an hour of frenzied killing, in the end, there were less than 200 people left in the Hohe Department, escorting Hohe, and fled from the encirclement in a hurry and fled to the camp in the west of the town. The cavalry of Shanhai County was still in hot pursuit, with a posture of wanting to annihilate them all.

It's a pity that limited to the war horse, the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther, allowing Huhe to successfully escape.

Huhe's escape was nothing more than the result of Ouyang Shuo's deliberate indulgence, and his intention was to completely provoke Lakshen and lure all the western part of the town out of the camp.

The two armies pursued and fled, and soon returned to the camp in the western part of the town.

Sure enough, seeing the Huhe Department fleeing in a hurry, and the rogues who were chasing after him, Lakshen couldn't help but be angry, and said sharply: "What a gut! ā€

As he spoke, he immediately ran down the arrow tower, stepped on his mount, a leader-level green worm horse, and shouted loudly: "All of them, follow me to attack, respond to Huhe, and exterminate the Liukou." ā€

"Kill!" Four thousand cavalry from the west of the town, ready to go.

Seeing the troops who came out to respond, Huhe was overjoyed, slapped the frog horse under his crotch hard, and went straight to the camp. On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo's side stopped all together, ready to turn around and leave.

Before leaving, Lin Yi used his internal strength to shout loudly: "Little thief Lakshen, I will teach you a lesson today, and next time I come back, I will definitely take your head." As he spoke, he laughed out loud and was extremely rampant.

Where did Lakshin suffer such humiliation, without saying a word, he led his troops to continue the pursuit. Although Fang Cai Huhe had simply told his story, Lakshen didn't believe that the other party could still have troops to ambush. Even if there is, with the four thousand elites under his command, he is not afraid.

On the grassland, the drama of chasing and fleeing was staged again, but the two sides of the chase fell one by one again.

At this time, the advantage of the frog horse in speed is fully reflected. In less than ten minutes, the Lakshin division was about to catch up and bring the enemy into their own range.

Seeing the fleeing enemy on the opposite side, Lakshin's face turned cold, as if he was looking at a group of dead people.

It's a pity that at this time, what Lakshen didn't know was that they had entered the trap carefully set by Shanhai County. I saw Lin Yi riding on horseback, taking out a special arrow, igniting it with a fire fold, turning around on the horse's back, and shooting a rocket towards the rear.

The rocket streaked across the sky and landed exactly in the area where the Laksin department was located.

In an instant, the rocket ignited the fierce fire oil that had been dumped on the grass in advance. The fierce fire oil array arranged this time was not in the shape of a long strip, but the entire area, which was poured with fierce fire oil. The raging flames, boosted by the wind and weeds, overwhelmed the Lakshin Department in an instant. (To be continued.) )
