Chapter three hundred and ninety third night attack
No matter how beautiful Duan Peng described the future, he could not withstand the cruel reality. When the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty rushed out of the city gate, the Southern Barbarian Army was shaken by the deafening footsteps...
The footsteps of five thousand people gave off the momentum of thousands of troops, and the stones on the ground were beating up and down. The army of the Song Dynasty has always fought in a dignified manner, and they are best at fighting in a dignified manner. The sentry post of the Southern Barbarian Army is in Heijia
The army only discovered them when they got very close.
"Enemy attack!~"
The sentry's shrill cry made everyone react, and they hurriedly picked up their weapons to resist.
The enemy's camp was obviously unqualified in the eyes of the Song Dynasty's imperial army. There were no trenches, no arrow towers, and no horses... It was no different from a wide-open camp gate!
The Song Dynasty was dominated by infantry. At the front were the swordsmen holding large shields, and behind them were the assassins holding armor-piercing spears and the last-ditch swordsmen holding long knives. They were responsible for ending the enemies that the former army had not killed.
There is a fish, and behind it is an archer with a three-edged thorn on his waist and a ratchet crossbow in his hand.
In a battle between the two armies, swords and guns must be at the front and crossbows at the back, but the Song Dynasty's crossbows are even more terrifying.
The power of the ratchet crossbow is not like that of ordinary crossbow arrows. It starts to be thrown three hundred steps away from the enemy. The buzzing sound of the crossbow string makes people's ears numb and their hearts are blocked.
In the dark night, the southern barbarian army could hardly distinguish the direction of the crossbow arrows. They could only hear the thud of arrows piercing their armor. Before their companions could scream, they were shot into pieces by the rain of arrows falling from the sky!
The commotion woke up Duan Peng, who was having a banquet in the middle of the army, and also made the leaders of various ministries suspicious.
"Could it be that reinforcements from the Song Dynasty have arrived?"
Duan Peng waved his hand decisively and said: "Impossible, within a radius of ten miles, I will explain the scouting horses sent by this general. If the army comes to help, the news will be received. How can it be so fast?"
"Could it be that the defenders of Chengdu Prefecture went to war?"
The tribal leader's words made Duan Peng laugh so hard that he was breathless: "The art of war involves the battle of defending the city. The best strategy is to have enough food and grass to stand firm and wait for help. Now Chengdu has enough food and grass, and there are many people in the city, and our army
If you don't attack without attacking, no matter how stupid you are, Su Xun will not send troops to fight. Maybe there is a roar in your military camp, so you can bring your own soldiers to find out!"
Everyone nodded slightly after hearing Duan Peng's words.
That's right! The people of Song Dynasty would not be stupid enough to abandon the city and send troops to fight. Camp roars occurred from time to time, but as long as military discipline suppressed them for a while, they would cease.
But after everyone waited for a long time, they heard the killing cry end, but it became more and more intense. At this time, Duan Peng realized that something was not right. Why hadn't the soldiers returned yet?
He quickly stood up and put on his armor and said: "Something is wrong. Come with me to see which camp the shouts of killing are coming from!"
Everyone left the wine table in panic. The leader of the Black Bone Tribe frowned slightly. The direction of the shouts of killing was obviously in the east, far away from the south gate where the army was. How could the shouts of killing be so intense and come from the camp roar?
"Reporting to General, the Baiya tribe station in the east was attacked by the Song army at night. The number of people is not yet known, but the Baiya tribe's barbarians have been routed!"
"What?!"
Duan Peng never expected that the Baiya tribe with nearly 10,000 people would be defeated by the Song army in just half an hour. What made him even more incredible was why these Song soldiers would go out of the city to attack at night?
Could it be that Su Xun couldn't see that the Nanman army was besieging Chengdu but not attacking?
Why did Su Xun send his sergeants out of the city to fight? Things that don’t make sense according to common sense must be fishy!
"I ordered all the troops to stick to the camp, and my standing army soldiers surrounded and attacked the Baiya tribe. I want to see if the Song people are really so sharp!"
Once the enemy attacks the camp, it must be destroyed, otherwise the chain reaction will cause the entire army to collapse. In order to avoid this terrible consequence, Duan Peng can only risk annihilating this Song army. Even if he offends the Song Dynasty, it is better than the entire Southern Barbarian army.
Good breakdown.
Under the leadership of Duan Peng, the standing army began to strangle the Baiya tribe in the east. The Baiya tribe had a large number of people. Even if their morale was shattered, the fleeing troops also caused a lot of obstacles to the Song army. Yao Guang shouted to the ordering troops.
: "Change the military formation, charge forward in a cone formation, and be sure to defeat the siege!"
The ordering soldiers received the crisp bugle that commanded death, three long and one short bugles sounded, and the veterans who heard the bugle shouted to each other: "Change into formation, change into cone formation!"
The soldiers of the Song Army quickly gave up killing the enemy and moved closer together. They quickly formed a new formation. There was a saying in the army: If the formation is not broken, you are invincible! The Baiya tribe soldiers here are no longer able to fight anymore.
They found that they could not break through the Song army's defense no matter what, which was the most desperate point for them.
The huge shield became the cover of the Song army. Behind the shield, the poisonous dragon-like spear kept spitting out, and each thrust could take away the lives of the companions around them. The army in front of them was like a ferocious beast, and no one could hinder their progress.
The huge mental pressure and the bloody reality in front of them caused the barbarians of the Baiya tribe to begin to collapse. They fled in all directions, crowding together and causing a stampede that was more than the number of people killed by the Song army...
The rout was quite terrifying, and the entire Baiya tribe's barbarian soldiers were of the same race, so naturally there would be no law enforcement team to manage military discipline. Everyone fled together, and no one could restrain anyone.
Yao Guang suddenly turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Send the signal quickly, and let Bao Xueshi and Lao Liu take advantage of the chaos of these defeated troops to cover up and kill them!"
As soon as Yao Guang finished speaking, a gunpowder bomb with a red tail flame took off into the air and exploded with a bang, forming a dazzling ball of light. For a moment, many Southern Barbarian troops involuntarily raised their heads...
The result of being distracted on the battlefield is to seek death. The old soldier of the Song Dynasty quickly passed the weapon into the vital point of the barbarian soldier and then quickly pulled it out. The three-edged army thorn almost easily penetrated the vine armor on the enemy's body, and the blood was flowing.
It bursts out like a spring and cannot be stopped no matter how hard it is blocked.
Slowly, piercing screams were heard on the battlefield. This desperate scream from the heart made the surrounding Dali standing army feel terrified. What kind of enemy made the barbarians of the Baiya tribe scream like this?
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...
The deathly arrows did not give them any time to think. Dali's standing army was suddenly attacked by the arrows. The soldiers fell like wheat. What is even more annoying is that they still don't know where the enemy troops came from.
Arrow branches...
Duan Peng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Raise the shield! The standing army raises the shield!"
How can a ratchet crossbow, which can penetrate even heavy armor, be blocked by an ordinary shield?
Even with shields protecting the standing army, there were still heavy casualties, but after the same round of arrows, the location of Bao Zheng's reinforcements was also exposed.
The yellow drug-haired puppet rose up, echoing the red signal. At this time, the distance between the two armies was quite close. With the fighting cover of Yao Guang and others, Bao Zheng led three thousand forbidden troops and quietly touched the ground under the cover of night.
Came over.
The rain of arrows just now was their masterpiece. How could they be polite when they happened to encounter the Dali standing army who came for reinforcements? It was covered by a crossbow. Most of the reinforcements were composed of sharp archers, and they were condescending at close range. The standing army with torches was simply like
Living target.
Fight and run...
Bao Zheng's reinforcements opened the way with 500 forwards wearing plate armor and holding swords. The archers on both sides held an arm shield in one hand and a crossbow in the other to cover. Although the small round shield could not cover many parts, it was made up of
Ordinary swords made of fine steel are basically powerless against it.
Mo Dao was raised high and then dropped, bringing up a pool of blood, like a mountain entering a wall, with a magnificent momentum.
The army of Dali did not dare to touch the edge at all. This was a huge millstone of flesh and blood, and no one who was hanged could even think of escaping.
