Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 109 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
"Enemy! Enemy attacking the camp!"
As soon as the night watch soldier in the distance shouted, Zhang Mo sat up from the sheepskin blanket on the ground.
Thanks to the snoring in the tent that was like a symphony during the day, she did not fall asleep. She kicked Xu Chu, who was snoring loudly beside her, and shouted, "Wake up, wake up, the enemy is attacking the camp!"
"Attack the camp?"
Everyone who was sleeping soundly opened their eyes drowsily, but when they saw a fire outside the tent, all sleepiness disappeared.
Everyone rolled up from the ground in panic, some put on armor, some took weapons, and one soldier even forgot to put on shoes and rushed out to fight the enemy.
"Stop! Don't panic!"
Zhang Mo shouted, "The enemy should have climbed in from the city wall. They won't be numerous. Don't panic. Follow the usual drills."
The reason why the success rate of night attacks is so high is not because of how many enemy soldiers are killed, but because the sudden attack and the inability to judge the enemy situation at night cause extreme panic to the target of the attack, making them at a loss and lose their composure. The professional term is called camp bombing or camp roar.
The scary thing about a night attack is not the enemy, but the chaos among one's own people. If it is a camp of tens of thousands of troops, there will often be situations where one's own people fight against one's own people.
Zhang Mo usually has very high requirements for the soldiers in the village. Not only do they practice martial arts and formations, but they also conduct many exercises in various situations. The most important thing about the exercises is to make the soldiers remain calm in the face of danger and follow orders.
Having just been woken up, everyone's panic was just a conditioned reflex. After Zhang Mo's scolding, everyone quickly calmed down and got ready in a few breaths.
"Ah Chu, Ah Fei, go check in the other tents."
The two of them hurried out. At this moment, rockets fell from the sky above the camp. At first, there were only a few of them. The enemy must be testing the distance. Then, they fell like a meteor shower, and the tent roof soon caught fire.
The snow stopped yesterday afternoon, and the wind blew away all the snow on the top of the tent, which gave the enemy the conditions to set fire.
"Quick, fold all the blankets in two and soak them."
Several buckets of water were placed in each tent to prevent enemy night raids and fire attacks.
Everyone rushed out under the soaked felt blankets. Outside, longbowmen were already drawing their bows and shooting, but they couldn't see the enemy clearly in the dark, and their accuracy was not guaranteed. After shooting a few rounds, they only heard one or two screams from the opposite side. On their side, because of the burning tent, each figure became a living target for the enemy. Although the felt blankets blocked the view, a few people were accidentally shot.
"Don't waste arrows!"
Zhang Mo said, "Those who have armor, take up your shields and mount your horses, charge forward to kill, and the rest of you leave the camp."
It is impossible for the Hu people to get all the horses in. The cavalry can arrive in a moment with an arrow, so it is not difficult to chase and kill those night attackers.
Five miles outside the pass, Budugen estimated the fire inside was almost over. He glanced at the slightly whitened eastward and mounted his warhorse. "We should have enough time. While the bandits are now in disarray, warriors, light torches, charge in, and chop those people into pieces."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After the deafening shouts of killing rang out, torches were lit, and a huge, winding fire dragon appeared outside the dark pass. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the fire dragon began to move towards the pass.
As soon as they started the fire, the soldiers on the city wall saw it and reported it to Zhang Mo.
Are the Hu people no longer afraid of skating?
This was Zhang Mo's first reaction. Immediately afterwards, her face suddenly changed. She said to a soldier, "Go and check if the ice road at the pass has been destroyed."
"Everyone else, line up and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
The soldier who went to the checkpoint to check quickly returned and said, "The ice road is covered with weeds and other things and is frozen."
When the night attack just started, everyone's attention was focused on the attackers, including the soldiers on guard on the city wall. No one noticed that a group of men in black carrying large packages slipped along the wall to the pass.
"It's careless!"
The enemy wasn't that stupid. The barbarian's attack tonight was merely a distraction; their primary goal was to destroy the ice path. Although the path was surrounded by several rows of wooden stakes, there were still over 6,000 enemies. If the commander was determined to destroy them, it would be a tough battle.
The Hu people poured in one after another. After shooting more than ten rounds, the longbowmen ran out of arrows. They could only use the stones that were moved to the city wall last night to smash the bottom of the pass. The wooden stake formation was also destroyed by the desperate attacks of the Hu people, and more than 200 Hu people were killed.
With such heavy casualties at the beginning of the battle, the Hu cavalry at the back were already a little timid, but Budugen did not order a retreat, so they had no choice but to continue charging forward.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the two sides began to fight head-on. Xu Chu and Zhang Fan led the saber-slashing men into the Hu army and hacked them indiscriminately. The road at the pass was almost full of corpses of people and horses. Part of the first 1,000 Hu vanguards who rushed in died on the wooden stakes, and most of the rest were hacked to death by the Golden Eagle Guards.
Zhang Mo still had more than 700 Golden Eagle Guards and 400 auxiliary soldiers. Since the pass was narrow, as long as the killing speed was fast enough, the advantage of the Hu people's numbers could be slightly offset.
Outside the pass, Budugen, who was following the team closely, discovered that the number of horse bandits was completely different from what Muyetti said. He was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged. "You motherfucker, there are clearly over a thousand horse bandits, and you told me there are only three or four hundred?"
The loss of more than 500 people yesterday was due to a moment of carelessness. At the beginning of today, more than a thousand people were lost again. It was because of these two people who made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.
Muyetti stiffened his neck and said, "Maybe they have reinforcements. It's really not my fault. I know that even when building a building."
Building Building quickly agreed, "Yes, reinforcements must have arrived again. We really didn't lie to you."
Afraid Budugen wouldn't believe him, he added, "A few days ago, this group got lost in the grasslands, and they were only able to find their way out because someone came to rescue them. There are many bandits in the Taihang Black Mountain, and now they have entered Han territory, so it's not surprising that someone came to rescue them."
Budugen was half-believing and half-doubting, and his anger subsided a little. He ordered the soldiers who were temporarily blocked outside to continue rushing inside.
He has already lost so many people. If he returns empty-handed, he will lose all his face and prestige.
Faced with the desperate enemy, some auxiliary soldiers began to show fear, especially those brought by Zhang Mo for support.
It is the nature of the moth thieves to run away when they cannot win. Except for a small number of these people who followed Zhang Mo to fight Qu Yi once, the others usually followed their former leaders to rob and plunder, and they only did small things. Even if they followed Zhang Yan to do big things, they had the advantage in numbers. But today, the enemy was large in number and they were small in number, so they were inevitably timid.
Even Zhang Mo herself, looking at the Hu people pouring in like a flood, had her legs trembling on horseback. At this moment, all her noble and righteous thoughts of driving out the Hu people and defending the Han land could go to hell!
She swallowed hard and clenched the hilt of the knife. No matter what happened, reason told her that she must not escape at this moment. If she fled, the result would be unimaginable as the Hu people with superb riding skills would chase her.
The only way is to kill them until they are afraid! The saying that one Han can defeat five barbarians is not just an exaggeration!
"Men of the Han family, show your courage and kill the Hu dogs! Kill!" Xu Chu roared.
The Golden Eagle Guards all shouted, "Kill the barbarian dogs! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill the barbarian dog! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
More and more people started shouting!
This group of people have been rampant on the grassland for more than half a year. In addition to developing courage and vigor, their riding skills have also improved a lot. In their eyes, these thousands of Hu people are really nothing to be afraid of.
On the battlefield of cold weapons, courage is sometimes more important than skills. The soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of the desperate. As long as you give it your all, your original 80% ability can produce 100% effect, or even higher.
A soldier wiped the blood from his face and laughed: "If it weren't for the boss, I would have died a year ago on the banks of the Mianshui River. For more than six months, I have had meat to eat every day and Hu Ji allowed me to play with her. It's worth dying for."
As he spoke, he stabbed a Hu man in the chest with a gun, and warm blood splattered on his face again.
Xu Chu laughed when he heard this. These people had been brought to the grassland by him for more than half a year and had been pent up for a long time. They were not allowed to bully Han women, and Hu Ji let them vent their anger.
Thinking of that midnight when a naked Hu girl was stuffed into his tent, Xu Chu's dark face flushed. It turned out that a woman's body was completely different from a man's.
In the distance, Budugen watched his men being hacked to the ground one after another, his brows furrowed so much that he could kill a fly. The fighting power of this group of horse thieves was even stronger than that of the border troops, and the outcome of today's battle was still uncertain.
He originally came here to suppress bandits, but if he ended up being suppressed by the bandits instead, it would be a real disgrace.
His eyes fell on the skinny horse thief on the south side of the battlefield. He had been observing him for a long time. Although that man was also killing enemies, he was always surrounded by several soldiers guarding him. It was obvious that he was the leader of the thieves.
"Muyetti, build a building. You two take some warriors and go around the battlefield from the left and right sides. Go to the back and kill the bandit leader. Once he's dead, the bandits will be defeated."
"Yes!" Gai Loufang answered without hesitation. Today was his last chance for revenge. He was going to personally chop off the thief's head and use it as a drinking vessel.
Seeing that Gailoufang agreed, Muyetti had no choice but to follow him, although he was a little reluctant.
