Chapter 186 Nap on the battlefield
Chapter 186 Battlefield nap
Chen Kefu remained unmoved at the howlings and screams of the Khitans and continued to let the soldiers of the engineer battalion control the catapult cart and shoot the fireballs.
The real attack power of the fireball is not as good as a stone bullet. The stone bullet hits the cavalry with just one hit, basically breaking the people and horses, and the middle becomes meat paste. Because the fireball is made of grass balls, it is relatively lightweight and is not fast after being shot out. As long as you see it accurately, it can still make the fireball go.
However, the greatest power of the fireball lies in the fearful fireball flying all over the sky. If he never dies, he will be slowly burned to death. The howling of fear before death is the real maximum lethality.
The three armies cannot seize the will of ambition. Once all the fighting spirit of a soldier and a horse is gone, then the soldiers and horses will be over.
The same is true for the thousands of Khitan cavalry at the moment, and they were completely trapped by fear. There was no command at all, and they all ran around and charged. Many cavalrymen kept rushing towards the infantry spear formation of the rear army with red eyes, but except for continuing to increase the height of the corpse mountain, none of them could rush over, either being shot to death by crossbow arrows or being stabbed into a sieve by the spear formation.
The scene like the purgatory on earth not only scared the Khitans, but also many of the timid soldiers in the Sui army could not help but turn pale and vomit. Although these Sui army soldiers and horses had all been on the battlefield and had seen blood, killing is really a witch compared to the situation in front of them.
Some officers at the bottom, seeing their soldiers so useless, were punching and kicking, "You coward, get up and show me. This is how you fight. Either you die or I die. We are lucky to follow the general. Although we are attacked today, we can win the battle. We are good at watching it. Just watch it, as you are cowardly, you will die a little later than them when you go to the battlefield in the future."
No one is born with courage and firm hearts. The firm hearts of all veterans are tempered by death and blood again and again. The new recruits in front of them have been on the battlefield several times and have seen a lot of blood. If they can see such a tragic situation like before them a few more times, they will be truly transformed into a truly elite army in the future.
The pale face of Watai was looking at the fireball falling all over the sky, and shouted to Abaoku, "Abaoku, we are all done, we can't get out. Where is that damn Mogo? Where is he? Where is he now? Why didn't he see him?"
At this time, Watai was full of anger and reluctance. They were all motivated by Mogo. At that time, Abaoku found that the Sui soldiers were numerous and wanted to give up, but Mogo refused. But now, they were beaten here by the damn catapults they brought with them, and the fireballs that kept throwing over, but Mogo had nowhere to escape, but the Mogo, who was supposed to appear the most, was missing. How could he not be angry!
Abaoku was born in the Yaonian clan, one of the two largest tribes among the ten Khitan tribes, and was also the leader of the young clan. However, he has always been calm and not as brave and capable as Mogo of the Dahe clan.
But now, he looked around. The last fewer than five thousand people were left, while the five thousand elite warriors of his tribe were less than three thousand at this time. And when he thought that they might all die here next, his heart was even colder.
Where did Mogo go? No need to think about it, Abaoku could guess, either he had been killed by the Sui army or had already escaped with his men. Judging from his understanding of Mogo, he had already escaped.
"You think of a solution quickly. If you don't think of a solution, we will all die here." Watai shouted loudly. Although Watai was not from the two alliance tribes, he was also the young tribe leader of one of the top ten tribes. The future will be long. He has his own tribe, and there are dozens of female slaves in the tribe. He has good wine and meat to eat every day. How comfortable it is. At this time, he regrets it very much. He feels greedy for a moment and comes here with Mogo. At present, he has nothing to grab, but he is going to give his life here.
Abaoku's face became darker and darker, and his heart became more and more angry. Mogo and he had become brothers, but over the years, Mogo always treated him as a subordinate, but never really treated him as a brother. Now, in the face of disaster, he actually ran away alone, and he was extremely angry!
"Her up the white flag, I have something to say to the commander of the Sui army!"
This sentence basically collapses from the gap between teeth, and raising a white flag means surrender.
Watai's face changed and he opened his mouth and said, "You want to surrender..." But the second half of the sentence could no longer be said. Yes, it was all this way. If you don't surrender, you will die, and you will still have to be burned to death.
There was no white cloth on the battlefield. A Baoku's personal soldier took off his pants. The innermost loincloth was white. Time was urgent. After taking off the loincloth, he didn't have time to put on his pants. He hurriedly took a spear and picked up the white loincloth, standing high, constantly waving it.
On the battlefield, there were golden yellow fireballs, red blood, and a white touch, which was particularly conspicuous. In an instant, the entire battlefield saw the flags raised by the Khitans.
"Master, the Khitans surrendered!" Yu Qinming had been standing beside Chen Kefu. At this time, he saw that the Khitans were willing to surrender, so he hurriedly said. In his opinion, although he didn't know why this Khitans came to raid them, since the Sui army won and caused a lot of casualties to the Khitans, the battle was almost done.
After all, although the Khitans are not the strongest among the tribes in western Liaoning, they are not weak either. If they wiped out all the Khitans at this time, it would not be a good thing. That would likely lead to crazy revenge from the Khitans. At present, the Northeast Army is in Liaodong and facing the strong enemy of Goguryeo, it is better to have one less enemy than one more enemy.
Chen Kefu didn't say anything, but continued to look at the Khitan positions. Several rounds of fireball attacks did not really kill many Khitans, and there were about 5,000 Khitan cavalry. According to the previous situation, these Khitan cavalry should have had 10,000, but now the war has been fought for less than two hours, and almost 5,000 have died. Moreover, the 1,000 in the dense forest has been wiped out, which means that the Khitans have died 6,000. This still does not calculate the combat situation of the former army.
Five thousand people, this is a considerable force. If he accepted the surrender of the Khitans now, he really didn't know what to do. But no matter what, the Khitans attacked him first, which was already annoying Chen Kefu. If he could not cause great harm to the enemy, then everyone would come to him from now on. Chen Kefu moved.
Chen Kefu opened his mouth and yawned, reached out and patted his mouth, and said, "Oh, this marching is already sleepy, and it scared me halfway through these damn Khitans. Now I am sleepy and I want to make up for a nap. Don't bother me." After saying that, he said to Zhang Jin, "I didn't hear that I am going to take a nap, go and get a tent."
After saying that, he jumped off his horse and walked into a shade of trees at the foot of the mountain. Although Zhang Jin couldn't understand why the general wanted to take a nap at this time, since the general had given the order, he had to do so. He hurriedly called the cavalry of the guards company to run to the foot of the mountain first and set up a tent.
Yu Qinming was a little confused and stood there for a moment. He didn't understand why this young handsome man suddenly had to take a nap.
When Chen Kefu had gone far away, he turned to Li Shimin who had returned to his formation and said, "Does the marshal usually take a nap every day at noon? And it's not different from the marching or wartime?"
Li Shimin smiled, "I have never heard of this before. I guess this is a habit that the Grand Marshal just had!"
"What should I do? The Khitans demanded surrender. Are we accurate or not? The general did not leave a word when he left." Yu Qinming was a little amused and crying.
"Although the Grand Marshal did not give an order, he did not express his opinion. Then this matter is easy to deal with. Whether the general is qualified to decide whether to surrender is the first army's commander. You don't have this right. In my opinion, since the Grand Marshal has not spoken, it means that he doesn't want to accept it for the time being, so everything will be the same!" Li Shimin smiled, "In addition, I think the soldiers have been watching the battle for so long, and they are a little bored. You can also practice archery skills while watching. Don't miss such a good training opportunity!"
Several messengers under the handsome man looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they nodded, picked up the red and blue flags, waved them a few times. The command of the flag was very simple. The attack continued, and the entire army shot with free bows and arrows!
Li Shimin dared to make an idea and ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows, which was certainly certain. He had guessed Chen Kefu's idea between Chen Kefu's frowning and hesitant brows. Chen Kefu had the intention to accept these Khitans' surrender, but he was unwilling to accept it now. There was only one reason, that is, there were still a large number of Khitan cavalry in front of him.
Five thousand people are a big number. If there were fewer Khitans, the general might be willing to do so. After guessing Chen Kefu's idea, Li Shimin was also very happy because he felt that he had made another step forward and was no longer the general on the battlefield who only knew how to lead troops to rush forward, but slowly moved towards the position of the commander of the first army like his brother-in-law Chen Kefu.
At this time, the soldiers and generals who received the order naturally picked up bows and arrows and began to conduct live target shooting training. With the protection of the shield and spear arrays in front, they could have enough time to aim slowly and then shoot.
