Chapter 84 The first battle
Chapter 84 First Battle
Seven days later, the Huo Qi army and the fierce blood army had already maintained a confrontation between the Xiling army and the Dongping army. Before they received news from Danyang, they quietly entered the country now occupied by the Xiling army. After all, this is the land of Dongping, and they are too familiar with it. Although actually galloping on this land has a completely different feeling than doing deductions on the sand table, they have always tried to maintain the simple and accurate style of the work on the picture.
This army of ten thousand people has not yet been able to approach any town, nor has it been able to provide supplies in the past few days, and they are rushing all the way, fearing that they are intercepted by their own troops. They are far more worried about their own people than they are about the enemy. Until today, they entered this valley called Pengxi and camped and settled down in the village where only more than one hundred villages lived, so they had sufficient reasons to rest.
Pengxi is more than 100 miles away from Baishi City. Now, there are at least 30,000 troops from Xiling Kingdom at these distances. They quietly circled the Huoqi Army and the Fierce Blood Army behind the enemy, but were not prepared to turn back to deal with the 30,000 people. Once they are entangled with the superior forces of these 30,000 people, their goal will not be achieved. It is really dangerous to just rub the most dense area of the Xiling Army here.
The villagers of Pengxi only now knew about the invasion of Xiling's army. They lived in the mountains and did not have much contact with the outside world. However, since they were their own soldiers, they were still warmly welcomed by the villagers. Several hunters and soldiers who were worth more reached several commanding heights, looking at everything around this small hill that was not too deep or too high.
Chi Lei's scout cavalry team had already set off after two hours of rest. The three hundred scout cavalry were divided into fifty squads and spread to the deeper part of the enemy's occupied area. After all, this place is in Dongping. Although the Xiling army occupied a large area of land, its control over the place was still quite loose. It is absolutely impossible to conduct a comprehensive patrol of the control area. The scouts should understand the enemy's situation and distribution as much as possible and choose the first target for them.
They were stationed in Pengxi, of course because they had to rest. But another reason was that their first supply location behind enemy lines was here. Just after midnight, a convoy appeared at the foot of the mountain. The members of the convoy were all wearing Xiling's military uniforms, looking like a Xiling's baggage team. Only the oil lamps flashing with green flames on the front of the first carriage showed their identity.
"I'm still worried that you can't come," Ye Tao said friendly as he looked at the convoy leader who took off his Xiling military uniform and exposed the FedEx uniform inside.
"I almost couldn't come." The middle-aged man in his thirties and looked extremely capable said with a smile: "It's difficult to transport things in. Most of the things in the future will be concentrated after being transported in small batches, because the time is tight and the things raised are not enough. Zeng Lao said that the first batch of supplies must be complete and the quantity must be enough, so he had to rob the second road. Even the military uniforms and the entire convoy has brought you the whole convoy."
Ye Tao was shocked: "You really robbed Xilingdi supply team? There were no casualties, right?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "They used to move their hands while eating and broke their two brothers, which is nothing."
Ye Tao sighed, "Thank you for your hard work. Brothers who have broken up, are there any family cares?"
The middle-aged man shrugged and said, "The people who run the Western Front are all homes without anyone, don't worry."
At this time, a scout came back. He reported a strange situation. Twenty-five miles to the west, there was a strange cavalry, with only more than a thousand people. This cavalry looked very much like the East Plain Cavalry, and it was suspected that it was the remnants of the troops that had disguised themselves assaulting Xunshan Pass.
"This army must be taken down." Ye Tao immediately made up his mind.
"The Fire Qi army does not move, the fierce blood army is ready to attack within half a quarter of an hour. Is it OK?" Dai Yun asked for details and asked for instructions like this.
"That's it." Ye Tao said.
Zhao Hanzhi, who was commanding this Dongping cavalry of Xiling Kingdom. With the head of the deputy general, he went deep into Dongping to observe Dongping's cavalry many times, and even pretended to be the people of Dongping twice. He joined the army for training, and then he trained the five thousand special cavalry that was no different from the Dongping cavalry in any aspect. From a long time ago, he knew that after this raid on Xunshan Pass, the team under his command would be useless. Staying in the Xiling Army was too eye-catching. Dongping would not be so stupid if he wanted to play any role. But what he did not expect was that in the battle of Xunshan Pass, with all parties cooperating completely according to the original plan, his five thousand cavalry were still dead and injured. Only a thousand people were left.
What is even more unbearable is that the attitude of the colleagues in the army towards this army. No one dared to deny their contributions. But they were too different in the Xiling army. The most excessive thing was that after the renovation, he took the remaining brothers out for a horse. When he returned to the camp, the deputy general of the other battalion jokingly beat the drum to "fight", surrounded them and ran over and patted him on the shoulder, praising them as "too similar". The head coach Tong Bingwen learned about this and arrested both of them and scolded them. God knows how innocent he is... The grain transport officer joked that he would eat without the forage from Dongping...
All kinds of jokes made them and other heroes unbearable. This time they came out, there was no task, but they really couldn't stand the atmosphere in Xunshan Pass, so he asked to move to the front. Although there was no room for them to play on the front line of the Baishi City in Ningshi City, and their cavalry unit with a thousand people was too weak, at least the two armies at the forefront were confronted, and there were not so many bored people.
And late at night, this cavalry that made great achievements quietly became the first prey of the blood army.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Dai Yun whispered behind the hill less than 500 meters away from Zhao Hanzhi's camp: "You have to get used to it quickly. This is to practice for everyone, don't escape one. Take a attack."
After removing the scouts, Dai Yun could control less than 5,000 bloody troops. She brought all the troops out in order to allow as many people as possible to see blood. Otherwise, no matter how high the opponent is, she would not have to attack the camp with three times the force.
Two thousand people will be responsible for the first wave of shocks, one thousand people will be responsible for subsequent leak detection, and the remaining two thousand troops will scatter during these two rounds of shocks, surrounding the camp to ensure that no one will be run away.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A distance of hundreds of steps disappeared instantly. While Xiling's soldiers began to shout responsibly, the first wave of arrow rain had arrived.
The two wings of the Blood Army spread out at the fastest speed to complete the encirclement of the barracks. The first batch of cavalry had already rushed into the camp. Compared with the big swords and spears, the crossbows that everyone equipped with were more direct. After rushing into the camp, the arrows shot at the front, back, left and right were knocked down hundreds of people at the first time. They used their spears to open the tent, pushed down the brazier, and spread the flames and death around the center of the camp in an orderly manner. The second wave of cavalry took advantage of the chaos in the camp to rush down the wooden fences around the camp. The cavalry unit with only more than a thousand people was really unable to make the camp that had only rested for one night so strong.
The army that could last for a long time under the siege of Dongping sergeants several times in Xunshan Pass was indeed very powerful, but they encountered a stronger blood army. The night made the killing less visual, and the fear of the rookie officers was minimized. The sword flashed by, and they saw the fallen figures, rather than the splashing blood. Whether it was soldiers or officers, they were just doing the most common camp training of the blood army.
Just a quarter of an hour, the camp was completely removed. More than a thousand cavalrymen dressed in Dongping cavalry uniforms but erected the Xiling army flag were wiped out on the ground. The price paid by the bloody army was only four people died in battle and twenty-one were injured. Dai Yun checked the results and ordered the soldiers to contain the frightened horses and take them away, while looking at Ye Tao, who was spitting out with some concern at the moment, holding the fence.
The first time I killed someone... Dai Yun recalled the scene when she killed someone for the first time. Crying and vomiting were ordinary, but the most painful thing was that she was entangled in the nightmare for almost a month. Until then, she was still ignorant and ended up with a second evil life in her hands.
Ye Tao shook his head hard, took off the small wine pot from the saddle with his trembling hands, and drank himself. The psychological effect was faster than alcohol, and he settled down almost immediately. "Pile the body up, and the tree roots in the middle cross, nailed that general on it." Ye Tao rode on the horse again and said to Dai Yun.
He was able to recover so quickly because he had already made a mental construction for himself when he went to the battlefield. More importantly, he could not collapse at this moment. The first time he killed someone was so simple. An enemy soldier rushed up and grabbed his horse's head, and another enemy soldier stabbed him with a spear instinctively swung his sword.
He didn't know if the sword in his hand could be ranked in the sharpness rankings of this era - I guess there would be no such thing in this era - but the sword light flashed and the spear broke. He stabbed a sword and cut the throat of the enemy soldier holding the spear. He only saw the dark liquid flowing out under the night. The enemy fell, and his sword was still so bright as new... The other enemy soldier didn't even let him take action. The war horse under his crotch stood up, kicked his front hooves, and the brave enemy soldier flew out. He didn't remember whether the enemy soldier was tall or short, but he remembered that the consciousness of the war horse almost made him fall off the horse.
"Yes." Dai Yun looked at Ye Tao, who picked up the kettle to rinse his mouth, surprised at why he issued the order to deal with the enemy's corpse so cruelly, but she still obeyed.
"I don't know if we are strong enough, nor the enemy. The best way to let the enemy put us in an important position as soon as possible is to appear arrogant enough." Ye Tao spit out the water in his mouth and explained.
Dai Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
