Wu Houlu's task is very simple, that is, to discover the enemy's whereabouts in time, especially the enemy's movements at night, and to give early warning to the city. www.biquge.info Wu Houlu didn't know if his job would be effective, maybe the enemy wouldn't attack at night at all, after all, in such a tense situation now, no one could be negligent, if he wanted to achieve the effect of the attack by surprise, Wu Houlu thought it was unlikely, look at the torches hanging on the city wall behind him and the soldiers patrolling back and forth, you can imagine how strict the precautions are.

However, Wu Houlu knew that his mission was not entirely to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, and the leading edge area hidden in the darkness hundreds of meters in front of him was the main target he wanted to observe, which was sprinkled with three-edged nails, and at least 2,000 soldiers were injured in the feet of this inconspicuous new weapon during the day's fighting. This kind of injury alone is not worth making a fuss about, every war will have casualties, even if two thousand soldiers were sacrificed, it is not surprising, but the morale of the attacking soldiers is unimaginable with this weapon, in order to avoid being stabbed in the foot, the speed of the advance of various siege equipment is greatly delayed, and the time for the soldiers and various siege equipment to be exposed to the optimal range of the defender's long-range strike weapons is also greatly extended, and the sacrifice brought by this is truly fatal. In order to crack the threat of this triangular nail, perhaps the enemy will use various means to solve this problem, and Wu Houlu just wants to observe whether the enemy will take some stupid ways to deal with this threat as the superiors imagined.

Everything seems so quiet in the dark, Wu Houlu's eyes seem to be glowing faintly in the dark, nothing, except for the whistle from time to time from the patrol soldiers on the city wall behind him in the distance, it seems that there will be no movement this night, and it should be the best time to move, Wu Houlu subconsciously wanted to shake his head, this night is estimated to be in vain, and it is estimated that there are at least two detachments of companions who have been boiled in vain with him, which is really not cost-effective, but this is the task, not every task can get satisfactory results. Just as Wu Houlu was comforting himself, a burst of dense and thin footsteps began to come in the distance.

Kamapov sat quietly in the reserve camp near the east gate, without saying a word, the cigarette in his mouth has never been extinguished, he likes this kind of strong Burmese cigar, this cigar is more spicy than the cigar produced in North Luzon, more powerful, but not as soft and delicate as the North Luzon cigar, but in Kamapov's opinion, this is the cigar smoked by a man, like the cigar smoked by Helenbo's guy is purely a kind of style, and he can't feel the power of the cigar at all, Kamapov disdains to smoke that kind of goods, although the North Luzon cigar is more in line with the identity of the upper-class celebrities in Western Xinjiang, but Kamapov doesn't care about theseHe just likes this kind of thing that is more suitable for manual laborers.

The smoke gushing out of his nostrils made the whole camp a miasma, but fortunately, his subordinates had long been accustomed to this situation under the influence of Kamapov, and several staff officers in the staff department even developed the habit of smoking cigars, especially this kind of strong cigars, like their superiors, which made Kamapov very proud.

"Legion Leader, do you really think Chu Taifeng will send troops to solve our triangular nails?" Although the cavalry does not participate in the battle of defending the city during the day tomorrow, but judging from the situation during the day today, the offensive of the Northern Army may be more fierce tomorrow, and he has to plan for the worst, if the enemy is really likely to break through the city defense, then he can only sacrifice the cavalry to launch a surprise attack to reduce the pressure on the city defense, although this kind of raid will make the cavalry suffer great losses and may even be wiped out, but it can effectively alleviate the crisis of the city defense in a short time, of course, this is only a short time, which can not really solve the problem of the real surname。

"Hmph, wait and see, I think so, Chu Taifeng's surname should not wait passively, and our three-edged nails have caused him a lot of trouble, and it will have a greater impact on the morale of his attack cluster, and the battle will be more fierce tomorrow, if you want to solve this problem, it should be a good way to use the night to deal with it." Kamapov said steadily.

"Then would Chu Taifeng have expected that we might take advantage of his mentality to attack the army he sent?" the chief of staff asked further.

"It's hard to say, but in this case, no matter what kind of melee is beneficial to us, after all, our cavalry impact in the dark can always bring them a lot of chaos, if they want to ambush our cavalry, as long as we don't fight with each other, they can't pick anything cheap, let the south gate get ready, as long as the northern army has ambushes, our cavalry just scatter their legs and leave, enter the city from the south gate, if Chu Taifeng has energy, then let them practice their legs is not bad." However, I don't think he will put too much energy into this, and it is his only wish to take down Yunzhong Mansion. Kamapov replied with a smile.

The conversation between Kamapov and the chief of staff was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the sweaty soldiers rushed into the camp with a look of joy overflowing: "Commander, there is a letter from outside the city, and the enemy has indeed come out, about five thousand people. ”

"Five thousand, Chu Taifeng is too stingy, right, just five thousand?" Kamapov frowned.

"Commander, there must be fraud in this!" the chief of staff also reminded Kamapov.

"Well, of course there is fraud, but he is false, if we don't move, he will definitely be able to swagger and peacefully implement his earth-covering project, if our cavalry moves, I estimate that the cavalry he arranged on both wings will come out to attack us, well, it is indeed a good idea. Kamapov put his hand on his chin and smiled.

"Then Commander, shouldn't we also change the way? Or just attack with catapults and ballistas?" the chief of staff shook his head as soon as he spoke, "This effect is too poor, there is no clear target at night, the cost is too great, but the effect is poor, and it is not cost-effective." ”

"It's time to change the way, since they have too little bait, let's just drag the fishermen who are waiting to catch fish in the back into the water. Kamapov said thoughtfully, "It seems to be more flavorful." ”

"What does the Legion Commander mean?"

"Let the cavalry of one wing prepare for a surprise attack, and the cavalry of the other two wings come out of the north gate, calculate the time, and estimate that after Chu Taifeng's ambush comes out, the two cavalry wings will give them the final blow and take them by surprise. Kamapov had a mysterious smile on his face.

"The commander of the corps means to let a wing of cavalry attack?" opened his mouth in surprise, knowing that there was an ambush, but only sending one wing to fight, was it too risky?

"Surprise and attack unprepared, this is the purpose of the war. The cavalry who went out of the city to attack was just an ambush to amuse Chu Taifeng, and the other two wings of cavalry were the real killing, and let the various departments and other cities prepare catapults and ballistas, I estimate that as soon as the enemy ambush came out, the torch light could expose their own position, just so that the catapults and ballistae could be used as targets, so that they could be entertained and let them have a good night's feast. Kamapov stood up and pressed the cigar tip heavily into the ashtray and said categorically.

Just when Kamapov was thinking about the possible means that Chu Taifeng might take, Chu Taifeng was also sitting in his camp tent waiting for the news from the front line, covering the area where the attack cluster must pass through with dirt was also a last resort, Chu Taifeng and his staff members pondered many ways and never thought of a better solution, the only practical thing seemed to be this stupid way, let the soldiers carry the soil and gradually cover, fortunately, the sharp thorns of the three-edged nails were not very long, and they only needed to cover the soil, which could basically solve the problem, not to mention that the other party did not seem to have prepared a lot of this kind of thing, otherwise they would really have to sprinkle this trick all over the place, I'm afraid that this battle won't have to be fought, everyone can only look at me, I can look at you.

Chu Taifeng can be sure that the other party is also waiting for him to take this method, and the effect of launching a surprise attack on his troops in the dark night is definitely the best, especially since he seems to have to take the road arranged by the other party, but this does not mean that the other party can succeed, and the cavalry of the first army is not vegetarian, and it is completely capable of defending its own infantry, and even annihilating anyone who dares to sneak out of the city to attack.

As Chu Taifeng expected, when the Western Xinjiang cavalry attacked the infantry who were busy dumping dirt in the night, Chu Taifeng did not hesitate to order his cavalry to give a counter-encirclement, but what Chu Taifeng did not expect was that the enemy would ambush ballistas and catapults on the city wall, and when his infantry lit torches and prepared to annihilate the Western Xinjiang cavalry who came to swallow bait, they were attacked by stones and arrow rain from the city wall. And the enemy seems to have a response to their own encirclement, the enemy cavalry from the south gate proved that the enemy is not unprepared, fortunately, Chu Taifeng also has two hands to prepare, the cavalry on both sides under the east gate melee battle, and because the infantry suffered the blow of the long-range weapons on the city wall had to extinguish the torch to avoid the blow, so that the two sides of the army in the dark finally had to separate, both sides failed to achieve the desired effect, the Western Frontier cavalry finally took advantage of the night to get rid of the encirclement of the northern cavalry entanglement from the east gate into the city, this is a melee without a winner, but Chu Taifeng's plan to cover the earth was not completed, which in turn brought many hidden dangers to the next day's battle.
