Chapter 18 The Snowy Night (Continued)

The hunter finally found a dozing tiger near the dozing tiger and was about to shoot a medicine crossbow, but suddenly a wild boar came. What should the hunter do at this time?

When shooting a wild boar, the tiger wakes up; when shooting a tiger, the boar goes crazy.

Do nothing, the wild boar will wake up the tiger, and then the hunter will finish all the hard work beforehand.

As the leader, Tian Liuhu needs to make a decision as soon as possible. The cavalry who suddenly called the door would inevitably wake up the defenders in the south of the bridge. If they attacked again, they would encounter a lot of resistance. This would not only increase casualties on their own side, but also cause the failure of this sneak attack.

If you don't do it, it's midnight now. If the defenders who are sleeping again are asleep, it's almost dawn. Where can you touch them and kill people and set fire to break the floating bridge?

Everyone is in vain tonight, and the next move may not be able to get close to the enemy camp so smoothly.

If you drag on like this, the Hulin Army retreating south will probably not be able to return to Guangcheng!

Tian Liuhu was a little anxious. Like many "Yi soldiers" leaders, he often led his team to capture slaves and attacked various clerks and arrested people. He had a lot of experience in sneak attacks. This time, the Hulin Army reinforced Guangcheng and then went north to feint to attack Song Ping. Tian Liuhu and other "Yi soldiers" leaders sent troops to help.

Originally, they could not come, but the three-tribe guest troops from Lingnan were useless and were temporarily unacceptable to fighting in the snowy plains. So Tian Liuhu and others took the initiative to ask for the battle to share the worries of the official army.

The Hulin Army headquarters had more than 4,000 troops, plus the troops assisting in the war, and the feint attacked in the eastern suburbs of Song Ping. Tian Liuhu and several "Yi soldiers" led by the leaders lurked in Fuguang Mountain on the south side of Song Ping, on the southern bank of the Huai River.

They lurked here not to sneak attack Song Ping, but as a supporter on the south side of the Hulin Army. When the enemy chased the Hulin Army south, they tried to harass the other side's retreat, forcing the other side to divide the troops, suspiciously, and buy time for the Hulin Army to retreat south.

The Tiger Forest Army's feint attack led the snake out of the hole, but the snake attracted it, but it was a big python.

Most of the enemy troops were cavalry, and the tens of thousands of cavalry were very powerful. Tian Liuhude and others originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, but when they saw an astonishing number of enemy troops, they could only hide in Fuguang Mountain to avoid the limelight and wait for an opportunity to retreat south.

The Hulin Army retreated south, and the enemy cavalry chased each other reluctantly and did not pay attention to Fuguang Mountain. Tian Liuhu just breathed a sigh of relief, and the Song Ping defenders actually sent soldiers to Fuguang Mountain to search.

Fortunately, the Fuguang Mountains are not small, and Tian Liuhu's righteous soldiers are very good at sneaking in the mountains. They avoided the enemy soldiers' searches, and what to do next becomes a problem.

The Yi soldiers had strong survivability in the wilderness and hid in the wilderness. It was not a problem to hike out of Guangcheng during the day and retreat at night, but Tian Liuhu opened his eyes and was no longer the young camp leader who only knew how to hunt. After discussing with several leaders, he came up with a plan.

There are so many infantry in the Hulin Army, it is probably difficult to get rid of the enemy cavalry, so they need help.

Burning off the floating bridge on the Huai River outside Songping City made the enemy chasing the Hulin Army think that the rear path had changed, and believed that there were enemies behind them, so they had to divide their troops to defend and slow down the pursuit of the Hulin Army.

After careful planning, Tian Liuhu took his people to the south bank of Huaishui floating bridge tonight, and also chose to approach the target from the downwind. Seeing that the critical moment was about to arrive, the appearance of the uninvited guest made him feel a little tricky.

He has good eyesight and can see people or things that are not far away even in the dark night. At this moment, the night-moving cavalry were divided into two groups. A dozen cavalry in front approached the camp and shouted, and a dozen cavalry in the back were waiting.

Acting like this is probably because of the misunderstanding of the defenders and shooting arrows in a daze...

Tian Liuhu thought while observing, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

At the camp gate, the defenders were talking to the cavalry outside. Someone came to call the door in the middle of the night. Of course, the defenders were very suspicious. They were responsible for defending the bridge. If someone destroyed the floating bridge, they would definitely suffer if they were investigated later.

And that is the future. If the enemy earns the camp, he will be in trouble soon.

The two sides asked and answered each other, and after a long time of struggle, the defenders gradually let go of their guards. The guards who rushed over found that the person coming was actually the Prime Minister's personal Huanglong soldiers. The other party claimed that they had urgent military affairs to cross the river and enter Songping.

The guard found that there were several familiar faces in these Huanglong soldiers. After weighing the pros and cons, he asked someone to open the camp gate. Yuchi Dun, who had been blowing cold wind in the distance for a long time, breathed a little relieved when he saw this. He did not let the caller reveal his identity, mainly for safety reasons.

He is always prepared for others. Only by entering the city smoothly and summoning reliable soldiers by his side can he truly feel at ease.

After a while, the camp gate slowly opened, but only opened the gap that allowed two horses to enter side by side. The yellow dragon soldiers who called the door entered one after another, and Yuchi Dun immediately stepped forward.

Seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps...

Just as they were forty steps away from the camp gate, shouts suddenly sounded in the field on one side of the road, and then many figures rushed towards the camp gate.

"The enemy is the enemy stealing the camp, we are fooled!!"

The defenders shouted in panic and then started shooting arrows. The soldiers at the camp gate tried hard to close the door, but the Huang Long soldier who had already entered the camp was anxious: The Lord of the Lang is still outside!

They knew that they and the defenders were friendly forces, so when they saw something changed outside, their first thought was to stop the door from closing and to ask the boss to come in quickly. However, the defenders thought that they were impersonated enemies and slashed without saying a word.

There was chaos at the camp gate. Yuchi Dun and his group outside the camp were shot by the defenders and overturned. The archers on the camp were afraid that these cavalrymen who were close to rushed in directly, so they gave priority to shooting arrows at them.

Tian Liuhu, who had muddyed the water, saw the chaos at the camp gate, and led his men to fish in troubled waters. Everyone ran forward quickly, like an excited hunting dog pounced on the target.

Their target was the dozens of cavalry stranded outside the camp.

These cavalry were judged to be enemies by the defenders. After shooting a round of arrows, many war horses were shot into arrows, and they were in chaos. Tian Liuhu led the righteous soldiers to rush forward and wanted to "finish the knife". The archers shot a round of arrows first, with the target of war horses to prevent the opponent from escaping.

This is the choice made by Tian Liuhu.

He just discovered that many of these cavalry's mounts were light-colored and even white horses, which were more conspicuous in the dark, and Tian Liuhu vaguely saw that these mounts were injured.

The enemy chasing the Hulin Army has many cavalry and has obvious advantages in military strength. If people are sent north to pass messages, mobilize troops, etc., how could these people ride wounded war horses?

Although Tian Liuhu had no evidence, he thought that these cavalrymen who went north late at night were definitely extraordinary, and there might be generals or officials with a high status.

If you kill it, the effect will be the same as burning the floating bridge, which will make the enemy angry.

The righteous soldiers rushed to more than twenty steps away from the cavalry, first threw out short spears, then pulled out short axes from their waists, and rushed towards the chaotic cavalry. Less than ten steps away, they saw the cavalry falling from their horses struggling to get up, throw out short axes, and draw out short soldiers to fight.

Suddenly, the enemy on the flanks had a distinct attack, which caused heavy casualties to the Huanglong soldiers guarding Yu Chi Dun. Seeing that the camp gate had been closed, they complained in their hearts and could only protect the Langzhu Yu Chi Dun and escape.

It was too late to turn around and run back. Everyone was in a mess. Before they could speed up, they would be caught up by the enemy. This was very dangerous, so the Huanglong soldiers protected Yuchi Dun and retreated to the other side to escape from the battlefield.

However, there are also enemies on the other side - the righteous soldiers are engaged in sneak attacks, and they always divide the two groups and cooperate left and right.

Caught off guard, more than ten Yellow Dragon Soldiers' mounts were poked by the opponent with short spears, and they were about to be surrounded. The friendly troops who were so close that they thought they were enemy enemies, so the Yellow Dragon Soldiers could only grit their teeth and forcefully broke through.

The meaning of the existence of the army was to protect the Langzhu. The Huanglong soldiers howled and fought with the enemy soldiers. They finally fought a bloody path and tried their best to protect Yuchi Dun and continue to escape.

Some crossbowmen rushed towards him and shot a few arrows on their heads. Yuchi Dun's mount was caught in an arrow and fell to the ground on the spot. He fell heavily and his head was knocked by the stone on the ground. He felt dizzy and could not get up in an anxious manner.

As the crowd was overturning, several enemy soldiers rushed towards him.

The enemy soldiers had a few blue faces, and the short axe in their hands flashed with cold light under the shaking flames.

Before Yuchi Dun, who was lying on the ground, had not yet come to his senses, watched an enemy soldier rushing to him helplessly, slashing down with an axe, and blood splattered everywhere.

A yellow dragon soldier who was lying beside him was chopped off by the other party. The man raised his head high and shouted excitedly about what he couldn't understand.

Before Yuchi Dun ordered people to call the door, he changed his clothes with a Huanglong soldier to prevent accidents. So at this moment, he was dressed as a Huanglong soldier, and the Huanglong soldier was his conspicuous dress, which attracted the attention of the enemy for him.

Several yellow dragon soldiers rushed over and fought hard to repel the enemy soldiers. They led a horse for Yuchi Dun to ride on them. The remaining dozen cavalrymen protected Yuchi Dun and continued to break forward. They finally walked around the outskirts of the camp and ran to the Huai River. Seeing the enemy soldiers approaching, they gritted their teeth and rushed into the river.

In the middle of winter, the river water is cold and bone-black, and the scarred war horses are struggling to move forward in the river. The water is deeper than the backs, and even the people riding on the horses are immersed in the water.

At this moment, the group didn't care about the depth of the water, and just wanted to cross the river and flee to the north bank by feeling the stones. Before he could reach the center of the river, Yuchi Dun's mount suddenly stepped on the air and lost his balance, and fell to the side with his horse.

He was taken into the water by his mount, and he choked a few sips of water in a hurry, and his feet were stuck in the stirrups and could not break free. He struggled in the water for a while, a large amount of river water poured into his mouth and could not breathe, and the feeling of suffocation became heavier and heavier.

After fighting for a lifetime, he drowned in the river...

Just when Yuchi Dun was desperate, his hand was grabbed and then pulled out of the water by several people. He breathed in the cold air with a big mouthful of breath, and the suffocation feeling was wiped out. Yuchi Dun, who had survived the disaster, almost cried with joy.

Several Huanglong soldiers helped him onto another war horse and protected the Langzhu to continue crossing the river regardless of everything. Some people suddenly slid and sank under their feet and did not show up again, but the rest still struggled to move forward.

In the cold wind, Yuchi Dun, who was soaked all over, shivered several times. He turned to look at the south bank, his eyes becoming cold.

Today's events, I'll...

"Ha Chiu!!!"
