Chapter 214: Night Attack
Because the cavalry battalion appeared in time, Peng Datong turned defeat into victory, and the next step was to clear the battlefield. As for the grain transport team, Han Wu had personally led two thousand cavalry to rescue him, and Peng Datong was no longer needed.
Although I was in trouble this time, I didn’t make any contribution. Fortunately, the casualties in the White Lotus Camp were not too great, which was a great blessing in disguise.
On the other hand, Lin Sheng felt very regretful and puzzled by the failure of the ambush plan. He immediately thought that there might be spies from the Black Armor Army in the city, otherwise the cavalry of the Black Armor Army would not have appeared so in time, and he removed his ambush, and the spy's status was not low.
While sending someone to investigate the spies quietly, his second plan is also being carried out in an orderly manner.
Night, the moon is in the middle of the sky.
At the south gate of Lingcheng, there were four thousand people and horses, arranged neatly, everyone holding swords and guns, and they were full of fighting spirit. The original crimson armor was also replaced with black.
These four thousand men were the direct descendants of Lin Sheng, and were called Lingyu Camp. Every soldier in the camp was selected by him and his innocent children.
"Report to the general, there are three thousand infantrymen and one thousand cavalrymen in Lingyu Camp, all of them are here!"
Lin Sheng rode forward and galloped in front of the queue.
Under the reflection of the fire, he could see the faces of each of these soldiers clearly. On these faces, he could not see panic or fear, only loyalty and fighting spirit. This was an elite soldier of hundreds of battles and the strongest force in his hands.
After looking around, Lin Sheng asked his second brother Lin Ye in a deep voice: "Have all the things that cause fire such as Songming torches have been distributed?"
"Brother, please rest assured. You have prepared it carefully and distributed it to every soldier."
"Well, the horse's hooves are also about to be wrapped."
"I've checked it, all the war horses are covered with horse's hooves and are made of double-layer thick cloth."
"Very good. This time when leaving the city is related to the life and death of Lingcheng. No one is allowed to be careless. During the march, no one is allowed to speak or make a sound. Violators will be killed!"
After Lin Sheng finished speaking, he ordered to the cavalry captain: "The scout first leaves the city, send everyone out, and spread it to a 30-mile range ahead. Remember wherever he passes, he will never leave a living mouth whenever he encounters a spy from the black armored army."
"Abide by the order!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Sheng issued several more military orders, and the generals received orders and immediately drove out of the city.
As the commander of the first army, Lin Sheng did not go out of the city with the army, but stood at the head of the city and watched his third brother Lin Bao lead his troops.
Although the sky is bright and the moon is high, there is still a lot of night fog in the forest outside the city. Thousands of soldiers from the Fengyu camp lined up in a long line and walked through the forest, like a black snake walking in the deep grass, gradually sank into the distance.
With the familiar terrain, the Lingyu Camp marched very quickly, and along the way, spies and multiple posts of the White Lotus Battalion of the Black Armored Army and the Black Armored Army were successively removed.
When there were still several miles away from the front camp of the Black Armored Army, Lin Bao stopped the march, then summoned officers from all over the world and began to make final preparations.
"General, let me be the pioneer."
When the officers around him heard that Lin Bao was going to act as a pioneer, they all spoke out against him.
"This matter is settled. You just need to act according to military orders. Remember, even if I fall, don't be confused. Do whatever you should do as planned. Do you understand?"
Lin Bao said with a final say.
In this battle, our side had to attack more with less, and the whole army needed to do its best. As the main general, he should naturally fight to fight the enemy bravely.
After they were ready, officers from all over the country returned to their teams, and then began to disperse and touched forward.
Lin Bao began to accelerate slowly as the cavalry troops, as they were the vanguard, urged the horses.
As the cavalry got closer and closer to the camp, the speed became faster and faster. Even if they were wrapped in horse hooves, they still could not stop the roaring sound of hooves.
The silence of the night was instantly broken by sounds, like the sound of horse hooves like muffled thunder.
"Enemy attack~"
As a sound of breaking sound came out, the soldiers and patrol teams guarding the camp gate also reacted and organized defense.
However, it was too late at this time. The horses were galloping so fast that the small number of patrol soldiers arranged outside the camp had almost no resistance to the impact of the cavalry.
Before the archers on the arrow tower could react, the arrows shot through their bodies, and the few arrows that counterattacked could not hit the charger's cavalry at all.
The first person to rush to the soldiers of Bailian Camp was Lin Bao.
He held a spear and rode his horse, and rushed to a patrol leader who was shouting for command.
With a muffled sound, the spear pierced through the other party's body, and the sharp spear tip emerged from the back. The huge inertia made the little one fly up from the ground, and then it was like a pierced water ball falling to the ground.
After Lin Bao killed the Shi Chang, the remaining soldiers were also killed by the cavalry following him.
After dealing with the guards at the gate, the cavalry turned over and dismounted. In a blink of an eye, the camp gate was opened, the horse was moved away, and the wall was overturned. Lin Bao led the cavalry into the front camp like a flood that broke the dam. The whole process seemed extremely smooth.
In the front army camp, many white lotus soldiers woke up from their sleep and ran out of the resting camp.
Before they put on their armor and took their weapons, the cavalry of Lingyu Camp had already galloped along the road in the camp tents. They only needed a flat sword, and blood appeared wherever the horse passed, and the soldiers of Bailian Camp who stood up suddenly were either injured or killed.
After rushing for a while, Lin Bao suddenly realized something was wrong. Although there were many soldiers fleeing black armored soldiers in the surrounding camps, except for his own place, other places seemed a little too quiet. Logically speaking, with such a big noise, the camps in the distance should have been in chaos long ago.
Something is wrong, it's too wrong, right, why is there no fire?
According to the agreement, you will lead the cavalry to attract attention on the front. At this time, the other infantry should also rush in from other directions and set fire to the camp to create riots.
But now, except for myself, the rest of the other directions are quiet. Not to mention the fire, there is no movement.
Lin Bao, holding a hint of luck, rode his horse toward a camp tent in the distance, then waved his spear to tear open the camp tent, and there was not a single person inside!
This is a trap!
His face turned pale, and he turned to look at the cavalry behind who were chasing some soldiers fleeing Black Armored Army, with cold hands and feet. At this time, even if he wanted to retreat, he would not be able to do it for a while, and the enemy would never give him a chance to retreat.
