Chapter 160 Seizing the Camp
The iron spear rushed out like a dragon, and took the Joe. The next moment, the king raised it to the side and took half a step, exhaling and making a sound, and his muscles and bones burst out like thunder. As his body twisted, the infinite force drove the gun body to tremble like water waves, and instantly rushed to the head of the spear. Suddenly, the heavy Joe weighing more than two or three hundred kilograms was lifted off the ground and flew diagonally to the front left.
"Fuck | You will die of aunt for eight lifetimes!"
Niu Er roared with an iron shield against a wielding horse, and his tower-like body suddenly exerted force. The wielding horse and one on the left and right were tied together with a hemp rope, but Niu Er suddenly pushed it up and crashed into the enemy behind.
Several Jianruis on the left and right all held heavy shields, clinging to Niu Er tightly to prevent Niu Er from acting too recklessly and revealing flaws for the enemy to take advantage of; there were also two groups of Jianruis on the outside, holding on to the horse and pushing forward.
Surrounded by the generals and soldiers, Xu Huai used his body as a crossbow and held a short spear and suddenly threw it towards the enemy formation dozens of feet away.
Although Xu Huai's archery with a bow and shooting has greater lethality, on the fierce battlefield, throwing a spear with a killing is definitely a more intimidating method than a crossbow.
The Chushan soldiers captured the arrow tower captured by the northern Lianying and the front battalion of Taiyuan City, climbed the city car, and pushed it back onto the battlefield north of the camp, which had an absolute advantage over the wall of the Han army camp in Yunzhou.
Before nightfall, Xu Xin'an led his troops to block the gate of the Han army camp in Yunzhou, and then arranged for the city car to approach the enemy camp, the arrow tower and other people to approach the enemy camp, and organized elite archers to stand up and climb the city car to the arrow tower and shoot from a high place.
The enemy army had no way to prepare countermeasures quickly in just one day. After nightfall, except for a small number of enemy soldiers hiding in the battle shed on the village wall and not daring to show their heads, more enemy soldiers on duty dared to hide inside the village wall and standby.
In this case, the Chushan Army Jianrui approached the enemy camp and attached a ladder to climb the wall. Although it took a bloody battle to capture the walls on the left and right sides of the Nanyuanmen, it was much easier than forcing the truly towering city walls.
However, instead of taking down the wall of the village, the enemy soldiers collapsed and no longer resisted.
In fact, after suddenly rushing into the village wall, the real night battle and capture camp really opened the curtain of bloody and cruelty.
The Han Army Camp in Yunzhou is a standard large military camp. In addition to the large number of defenders, there are also many war equipment stored in the camp.
When you come in from Nanyuan Gate of the Han Army Camp in Yunzhou, there is a straight and spacious dirt road that directly connects to Beiyuan Gate.
This dirt road is the official road between Taiyuan and Xinzhou.
As a transit station for the Chihu people to go south to eat and fodder, the Han army camp in Yunzhou was actually built by riding on the official road, and the official road and the space on both sides were still retained in the camp.
However, at this time, the dirt road had already been blocked with horse-resisting horses, and layers of roadblocks were piled up. After the layers of roadblocks, there were crowds of side vans, iron chariots, shield chariots, and enemy soldiers waiting for battle.
The Chushan cavalry broke out from Tianmen Pass last night, raising fire to attack the camp at night, opening up contact with Taiyuan City. No matter how careless Li Chulin was, he would also be wary of the Chushan cavalry that the same trick might be used again to attack the Han army camp in Yunzhou at night, and the defense in the camp was extremely tight. Besides, Xu Huai launched a night battle two hours in advance. Soon after the night, most of the enemy soldiers had just eaten night food and had not yet stopped.
After the night battle began, Li Chulin also realized that the village wall was difficult to defend, so he sounded the horn and organized soldiers to use horse-resistance, deer antlers, iron chariots, and shield chariots to form formations to defend in the camp.
The Han army in Yunzhou suffered heavy casualties in front of Taiyuan City and had a low morale. They had to recruit new soldiers on a large scale to maintain the scale of their troops. However, the combat effectiveness shown in the night battle was still stronger than the predictions before the war.
On the one hand, it was a bloody battle under Taiyuan City for more than a year, and the two sides formed a deadly enemy. The generals of the Han army in Yunzhou could not wait to conquer Taiyuan City, and then slaughtered wildly to vent the violence that had been accumulated in their hearts. On the other hand, they also knew very well that they would not have a way out when they fell into the hands of the Taiyuan defenders.
On the other hand, Xu Huai must not allow a large number of Yunzhou Han troops to escape from Beiyuan Gate to the north, break through their blockade on the eastern foot of the Qizi Mountain, and meet with the enemy cavalry in Liulingou Village to the north, and order Pan Chenghu to block Beiyuan Gate from the north after the night battle begins. This also forces more than 6,000 Yunzhou Han troops to become trapped beasts in cages and can only fight with their backs.
Xu Huai and Wang Ju personally led Chu Shan Jianrui to break into the enemy camp from Nanyuan Gate, and then tore open the roadblocks made of horse-resisting, deer antlers and countless caltrops along the official road, approaching shield chariots and iron chariots, killing and defeating the enemy soldiers behind them, and breaking them hard but unswervingly advanced northward.
Fortunately, the Taiyuan defenders broke into the enemy camp from the left and right sides, and the combat power burst out from their weak bodies was even more shocking.
The Taiyuan defenders first set out from the left and right positions and entered the enemy camp, but the speed of breaking the roadblocks was a bit slow.
Their bodies were still too weak. The strong men in the army who were once capable of carrying giant cauldrons were all thin at this time. No one had the strength to directly use a spear to pick a horse away.
They could only ignore the arrows shot by the enemy soldiers, ignore the guns and swords that were stabbed by the enemy soldiers, and with their flesh and blood, they directly dragged the horse away after approaching.
Many horses are tied together with hemp ropes, and can only be close to each other and chopped with swords.
They were too weak, and they raised their swords to slash, their hands were trembling, and there was no accurate head. The shield in their hands could not protect them from beginning to end, but they were not afraid of life and death. They fell down alone, and more people rushed up.
Although the generals and soldiers were desperate and ignored casualties, the speed of advancement was really too fast. Many military generals and military officials were the first to lead the way, but their hands and feet were weak and there were no elite guards around them, so several people were killed in battle soon.
However, Wen Gejun and other Taiyuan defenders did not adopt a conservative approach because of the actual difficulties they faced. Originally, they could take turns to arrange soldiers to enter the front line to fight, but Xu Huai's request for them was to wedge into the enemy camp, restrain the enemy from both sides, and not be driven out by the enemy.
However, the Taiyuan defenders were forced to defend the city for a year. Because of food scarcity, physical weakness, and absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, they could only guard the city wall day and night, but it did not mean that they did not want to break out of Taiyuan City.
No, every general and his wife are more eager to one day break out of the city.
Every general in Taiyuan City is more eager to bite a piece of meat from the enemy than anyone else.
The speed of advancing from two points was too slow. The military generals and military officials led their soldiers along the east and west walls of the enemy camp and continued to advance northward, creating more positions to assault into the camp.
The Taiyuan defenders stolen their lives and entered the depths of the enemy camp. Xu Huai led the elite Chushan troops to attack north from the middle of Nanyuanmen. There was no need to consider that the enemy soldiers might attack their wings from the narrow alleys between the camps on both sides.
Although the night sky was covered by thin clouds, Liulingou Village was only thirty miles away from the Han army camp in Yunzhou. Moli suddenly stood on a high hill and looked south.
The direction of Taiyuan was pitch black, with only a slight embellishment of slight light, but in the direction of the Han army camp in Yunzhou, the dense light was unusual.
The scouts sent by Haishan fled between the mountains on the east side and monitored the Taiyuan battlefield. At this time, they also lit bonfires in the mountains to warn Xinzhou, indicating that a large-scale night battle was breaking out in the Han army camp in Yunzhou.
"The southern thieves may also have ambushers outside the camp on the eastern foot of the Qizi Mountain, but we cannot bear the consequences of the Han army camp in Yunzhou for the Nan thieves' night battle!" Mo Li suddenly looked at Haishan and said, "You don't need to worry about anything. I will take responsibility for the crime of violating military orders. You just follow my orders!"
Haishan looked south again, nodded slightly, and supported Moli's decision to send troops south at this time.
The two of them rushed to Liulingou Village under the hills, surrounded by dozens of riders.
One thousand Xinzhou defenders, mainly accompanied by the Han army, and one thousand Chihu cavalry who came from Datong had already assembled in front of Liulingou Village.
The Xinzhou defenders were led by Haishan, responsible for directly attacking the camps of the Chushan Army on the eastern foot of Qizi Mountain, and restraining the troops of the Chushan Army on the eastern foot of Qizi Mountain, and it is best to limit them to the camp.
Mori suddenly stopped his horse in front of more than a thousand cavalrymen lined up like tides. With the help of the faint light of the torch, he looked at the weather-beaten, rough and barbaric, and his eyes were full of desire for war, and shouted:
"Since the Southern Thief started a night battle north of Taiyuan City, the troops they deployed on the eastern foot of the Qizi Mountain will definitely do their best to stop us from passing through the valley on the eastern side of the Qizi Mountain - the Southern Thief may even set up ambushes somewhere. However, if the Han army camp in Yunzhou is taken away by the Southern Thief, we will lose the significance of reinforcement of Taiyuan. Now more than a thousand troops in Xinzhou will be responsible for attacking the troops in the camp on the eastern side of the Qizi Mountain. We should not be entangled with the enemies in the Qizi Mountain, nor should we be afraid of ambushes. We will go south with all our might and strive to meet with the Han army in Yunzhou earlier."
Chen Zixiao stared at the northern foot of Qizi Mountain.
When two or three thousand enemy troops came out of Liulingou Village, the distance between them was only five or six miles away under the illumination of dense torches, and it was still very vague to look at it.
If the enemy cavalry wants to leave the camp and travel at night, they must use a large number of torches to illuminate it.
Otherwise, thousands of people would rush around in the bumpy and uneven wild land. Not to mention keeping the array, most generals and soldiers would soon lose their direction.
It's dark and there's no guide. Who knows which direction to run?
"All a thousand enemy cavalry have come out. They will definitely go south through the gap east of the camp. Our camp on Qizi Mountain is no longer the focus of attack and capture!"
Chen Zixiao suggested that Xu Wuji immediately pull the main force out of the camp and no longer consider sticking to the camp to attract the enemy's offensive in the north.
At this time, the loss of Qizishan camp was not a big problem for them.
As long as Xu Huai led the main force of Chushan cavalry to successfully capture the Han army camp in Yunzhou, he would send troops to reinforce and retake the camp tomorrow. Now he is afraid that the generals have completely seen through their intentions to take over the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, see the importance of the Han army camp in Yunzhou, and go south regardless of everything.
