Chapter 22: The invasion is like fire
Outside Nanzhao County, military tents are continuous.
The King of Chu was full of military soldiers, serving the people in his spare time and soldiers in war. Without long-term training, the military quality could not be too high. Although there was no problem overall, it seemed that the distance between the military tents was uneven, so the roadblocks that prevented the attack on the camp and the trenches were relatively simple, which was significantly different from the Xiliang Army and the Guanzhong Army.
It was almost early morning, and there was no sound in the military tent, leaving only the patrolling Chu soldiers patrolling outside the camp with spears. The camp was burning in the distance to prevent night attacks from bonfires, but most of them had been wiped out.
In the woods on the north side, Xu Buling led his horse and walked silently. Behind him were two thousand cavalrymen. According to Lin Yusong's guidance, he cleared the scouts guard post along the way and had already touched the military camp one mile away.
The nightingale held the telescope, glanced in the tree for a moment, and waved slightly at the bottom:
"There are trenches two hundred steps away, and the horses can jump over; there are three horses on the front, and the left wing is a rice field, with the weakest guard..."
Xu Buling raised his hand to knock Lin Yusong out and whispered to the back: "I will bring five hundred people to pull the camp from the front. Xu Ying, you will take the rest of your troops from the side to get the commander's tent. After burning the food and supplies, don't fight, and immediately go to Nanyang..."
Xu Ying had already put on black armor. After getting the order, he raised his hand and led the 1,55 light cavalry to move to the left wing.
Ning Yuhe and Ning Qingye also wanted to follow Xu Buling, but the night attack camp was completely different from the robbery of the people in the Jianghu. Ten thousand pigs were not easy to kill. Xu Buling did not let them join in the fun, but only protected the cannons that had been carried over after a lot of hardships.
After Xu Ying arrived at the pre-determined position silently, Xu Buling took the five hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry out of the woods, turned over the horse, formed a formation in the night, and gently raised his long spear... ——
In the Chu army camp, Chen Shou, the chief general who led troops to raid Luanshan County, had already fallen asleep. There was still a map of Luanshan County on the table, but it was too old and basically meaningless. I just temporarily asked the old man in the county to tell the story and modify the route he drew.
Dongdongdongdongdong
The earth is trembling.
Suddenly, the strange sound came, like someone was beating a drum in the distance, or the beasts were rushing.
Chen Shou suddenly woke up. As a general under the King of Chu, he had rotated to assist in defense in the northern border, so he knew that this was the sound of horse hooves and war horses!
Dayue lacked war horses, especially the good-bred war horses. Chu was located in the inner belly, and the court would not give war horses at all. All the soldiers and horses were infantrymen. The King of Chu spent a lot of effort to get a cavalry out, and the horses he used were also a common inferior stallion in the world.
It is as anxious as thunder, except for the horse's hooves, there is no other sound. Just this dull sound can make people feel the majesty of the elite army.
Chen Shou once heard this sound of horse hooves. It was when the northern border was being defended and when the heavy cavalry of the western Liao army passed by, he took a look from afar. Not to mention the armor equipment, the bloody smell that had been through the battlefield for a long time can make people feel terrified.
In Nanzhao County, how could the border cavalry appear...
Chen Shou's first thought when he woke up was this. The next second thought was a trembling from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly turned over, grabbed Shuai Jian from the side, and roared:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Dongdongdongdongdong
The real war drums were already ringing in chaos outside the camp.
In an instant, the patrol infantryman looked at the giant beasts that suddenly ran towards the dark night, and panickedly ran back to the cover. The Chu soldiers who were sleeping suddenly woke up, turned up, looked for their helmets, weapons, crossbows, but it was obviously too late.
One mile away, the Xiliang Light Cavalry sprinted with all his might, and there was almost no time to shoot the Chu army.
After a rain of arrows on the horse's back, the defenseless Chu army's front camp wailed everywhere. The back camp was not clear about the situation and instantly turned into a headless fly.
Xu Buling held a horse-splitter in his hand, rushed forward with one horse, and stopped the horse-received stake, and burst into anger:
"Xu Ying, take eight thousand light cavalry to attack the flank..."
The sound was like thunder, and it forced everyone to overwhelm the noise of the troops and reached everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, the left wing sounded overwhelmingly:
"kill"
"kill"
It is like a tide!
In the camp, Chen Shou knew that the other party was bluffing, and he must have arranged the offensive route in advance when he dared to attack the camp. Why should he shout in front of the formation? But he knew that the soldiers under his command obviously did not know this.
Five hundred iron cavalry rushed into the military camp of 10,000. There was no way to see how many people were in the night. When the fire started, only screams and shouts of killing were left in the huge military camp.
The already unprepared military soldiers had not experienced war for many years and almost instantly collapsed their camp. They didn't even know what they were doing, and they were going to negotiate and fight against the enemy?
The Xiliang Army's long-term opponent is the border army of the Northern Qi, which is much stronger than the military strength of the palace soldiers. The two thousand people led by Xu Buling are even the elite of the Xiliang Army, and they are all cavalrymen.
Even if the formation is set up in front, two thousand Western Liang cavalry are sure to disperse 10,000 invaders, not to mention the messy situation in the present, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as killing a pig.
Two thousand Western Liang cavalry entered the camp and had already estimated the combat power of the Chu army's military soldiers, but when they really fought, they realized that they were still overestimated.
The entire camp was just the personal soldiers near Chen Shou organized some resistance, and the other Chu troops were all running around the ground with their armor.
Xu Buling held a horse spear in his hand like a purgatory god of killing. Wherever he passed, he had no remains of all his body, and almost rushed out a bloodline in the camp.
After one of the few generals was dismembered, no one could organize a resistance.
Just rushed from left to right, and the entire camp began to completely escape.
The chief general Chen Shou recognized the armor of the Xiliang Army and saw the white-robed general riding on the wind-chasing horse, looking down on the white robe in the fire, and knew who was coming.
General Xu Lie has accumulated a long time of power, and in the heart of Dayue's military officer, he is the God of War. Xu Buling's inhumane combat power has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that Xu Buling and the Xiliang army rushed into the barracks, even Chen Shou lost his fighting spirit in an instant, and led some of his personal soldiers to break through, rushed to Nanzhao County, trying to seize the city and defend.
The sky was dark and filled with smoke and flames. The rest of the Chu army fled to the mountains and fields, avoiding the cavalry.
The strong bullies the weak to fight annihilation battle. The Western Liang army did not need command at all. After defeating the Chu army's formation, they began to divide the battlefield and gradually strangle them.
However, Xu Buling's purpose was not the 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers who had emerged inexplicably. He was going to fight Nanyang. After about half an hour, he completely defeated the Chu army and escaped into the surrounding mountains and fields. Xu Buling burned off his food, grass and supplies, and rushed out of the barracks from the south, along the plain Chu plain, and headed towards Nanyang a hundred miles away.
On the edge of the woods on the north side, dozens of soldiers left behind, after a team of light cavalry pulled back several carriages, they quickly stepped forward, carried four small cannons on top, and then followed the cavalry to advance to Nanyang.
Ning Qingye and Zhongli Chuchu were riding on the war horse, looking at the purgatory sea of fire in the distance, even the women in the martial arts world were a little scared.
People in the martial arts world are stalking with swords. Among them, the strong are amazing in combat power. It is easy to kill dozens or hundreds of soldiers. They never take officers and soldiers seriously on weekdays. But when they see the scene of these thousands of people rushing to the camp of ten thousand people, Ning Qingye understood why the government had the final say in the world. With such a big battle, no matter how strong a warrior enters, he can only arouse a little splash.
Dongdongdongdongdong
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared at the end of the sky of the Chu plain...
