The majestic palace was silent and soundless in the middle of the night. It was like a sleeping giant beast lying quietly on the ground.
Another day passed as usual, and all the officials, dignitaries, and common people in the capital fell asleep with these thoughts in mind. However, Funing Hall, the most important place in the Northern Han Dynasty and the residence of Ji Zhao, King of Han Dynasty, was full of everything inside and outside.
The air was low and cold, almost solid.
More than an hour ago, the King of Han, who was correcting a memorial, suddenly fainted. Even the infusing energy injected by someone who fell from the sky no longer worked.
Everyone around the palace was restricted from moving around. Ji Zhao's trusted guards walked around, avoiding the eyes and ears of outsiders. Several insiders from the imperial hospital were called in to diagnose, prescribe, and prepare medicine. Ji Zhao's expression finally cleared up after taking the medicine.
She became more rosy and opened her eyes.
"Sorry to trouble you all, my dear friends."
Needless to say, everyone present is close to him and the information will not be leaked. And the previous eyes and ears in Funing Hall have already been cleared.
A crisis passed like this. When daybreak, it looked like another good day. No one would have known that the gloomy clouds above the Northern Han Dynasty had become darker!
Beiling City, inside the North Gate.
Twenty-five thousand cavalry were well prepared. From the dilapidated barbican to the empty space inside the city wall with the open gate, the space was filled to the brim with men and horses.
Just when Ji Zhao regained consciousness, the "sneak attack" that was going on tonight had already circled the third gate. According to the pattern of the past few days, the Han army would stop by the end of the night.
Zhu Biao, on the other hand, took advantage of the sound of fighting coming from the three gates to gather all the light cavalry on hand at the North City without Hu Qi noticing.
When the gates of Wengcheng are opened wide, they will pour out like a surging torrent.
The vanguard was naturally led by Zhu Biao's personal guards. Behind the personal soldiers were a thousand horsemen and brave warriors carrying fire oil cans on their backs.
Sneak attacks and arson are always linked together, and the siege equipment such as thunder chariots and many remaining wells, ram chariots, building chariots, ladders and other siege equipment that the Han army has been fighting for days are also placed.
In the front camp.
Zhu Biao wanted to take the opportunity to burn them. This thing was just a burden to Uwetuo, a piece of waste that was a pity to throw away. It was a tasteless piece of 'tasteless' brand baggage. He wanted Uwetuo to leave cleanly in two days without a fight.
People, you have to lighten their burdens.
For this reason, Zhu Biao collected all the fats and vegetable oils in the city, and also squeezed some soybean oil freshly from soybeans during the day.
If time was not pressing, he would also like to show off the Fire Horse Formation. The reason why he gave up was because he was afraid that the Fire Horse Formation would be displayed. The poorly trained horses would also bring disaster to the attacking Han army.
"Victory in this battle!"
Holding the spear in his hand, Zhu Biao's domineering attitude just now completely turned into a heart-stopping killing intent.
"Total victory, total victory!!" The silent surge surged in the hearts of the generals and armies!
"Open the city gate——"
"Kill--"
The moment the Wengcheng cave opened, Zhu Biao grabbed the green horse under his crotch. As the horse neighed, his body suddenly jumped forward. He spread his hooves and rushed through the thick city gate, galloping out like lightning.
"Kill--"
The thunderous sound of horse hooves, the rolling dragon-like procession, and the torrent flowing out of Beiling City.
Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, the Guards Battalion immediately defeated Hu Qi who was guarding the north gate. Taking advantage of the slackness of the entire army and Hu Qi's complete lack of reaction, they attacked Hu Qi with lightning speed.
The battalion launched a fierce attack.
The cavalry camp is not as strict and solid as the infantry camp, especially the Hu cavalry camp. The perimeter of their camp is just a low wall, which is basically a decoration that can be crossed by a horse. The strongest building in the camp is the horse pen.
right.
The Han army arrived in a surprise attack more than ten miles away in a quarter of an hour, but the chaotic Hu Qi was in disarray, and the outermost troops did not even look like they were organized. Time waits for no one, let alone the Han army.
Waiting for Hu Qi, jars of kerosene fell on their heads. It landed on the dense military tents and horse pens, and then scattered the piles of bonfires that were originally used for lighting inside. The fire reached the sky in the shortest time.
The front camp was ablaze.
By simply using people's inertial thinking, Zhu Biao's surprise attack strategy was successfully implemented. Uwetuo slapped his head in annoyance. He was really careless. He didn't expect this at all.
"Golden Wolf Army, organize the troops -" But this was not the time for him to reflect on his own mind. He immediately led the Golden Wolf Army to attack. The most important thing was to withstand the Han army's surprise attack.
Maybe... we can eat this sneak attack army in one bite?
But this thought only flashed through his head. What is the most important? At present, resisting the Han army is the first priority and the most important thing. Counterattack. That will happen in the future!
"Pa..." An oil tank fell on a Perak chariot, and flames shot into the sky. As expected in the early stage, Zhu Biao's unexpected advance went smoothly, and a series of head-scratching siege equipment such as the Perak chariot and the well gate were opened.
He took off his clothes and waited for the Han army to ravage him. Zhu Biao was naturally not merciful, burning kerosene, kerosene, and more kerosene, and burned them all.
It's a pity that the wind is blowing from the northwest, and no matter how powerful the fire is with the equipment, it can't burn the entire camp.
"Tsk, tsk..." The iron gun was like a flexible living snake, its sharp fangs hunting for prey one after another.
Like a sharp sword thrust straight into the heart of Huying's stronghold, Commander Wan Qi's tent was burned to the light by a fire. Although Commander Wan could not be found, Zhu Biao's unit was so sharp that it was
Encountering little resistance, the sharp sword slashed down to the bottom, splitting Hu Qi's huge front camp in half.
Immediately he rushed into the central army, and the roaring Golden Wolf Army rushed forward ferociously. Zhu Biao knew that tonight's raid would end here.
The last time the Han army counterattacked Beiling, the Golden Wolf Army withstood the thunderbolt bombs created by the Northern Han Dynasty with its flesh and blood, and refused to retreat even half a step, making it possible for Wuweituo and Hu Qi to retreat.
The transfer bought enough time. The current Golden Wolf Army is not as good as the original one in terms of combat power, but in terms of fighting will, it should not be much worse.
As soon as he took over, Zhu Biao realized that this was indeed the case. There was no doubt that the combat power of the Golden Wolf Army had declined, but its fighting will was no weaker than that of its predecessors. After Zhu Biao rushed into it, he rushed forward to kill them without any fear. Even everyone
Everyone was attracted to the flames, and no one backed down.
Zhu Biao could only keep killing people and killing people, but he couldn't make any progress!
The corpses in front of the horses quickly fell into thick layers, as if they had built a wall to stop the horses. In the end, the Golden Wolf Army completely gave up on fighting with swords and guns, and instead just beat the horses like crazy.
Come hit Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao had never seen such a crazy troop on the battlefield. Even the one hundred cavalrymen at the foot of Bailian Mountain seemed to be incomparable.
"General, I can't rush anymore, the slut is crazy!" Feng Enjiang ran up to Zhu Biao covered in blood. He didn't know if it was all the enemy's blood. There was a hint of terror in his anxious expression.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of horse hooves coming from Hu Qi's wings could not be hidden from Zhu Biao.
"Back off, back off——"
"Cavalry battalion, the front battalion stays behind, and the rest of the troops retreat——"
The attack was like a thunderbolt, and the retreat was like an ebbing tide. Except for Yunzheng's first unit, which was not clean and neat, the remaining four battalions of Zhu Biao's headquarters were fast and orderly.
Boom, boom, boom, the two claws of the Hu cavalry that were outflanking were like crabs, and they fiercely pinched the Han cavalry in the center. Zhu Biao listened to the sound, and the three or four thousand cavalry from the personal camp and the front camp fought and retreated.
.
Suddenly, my eyes moved and it was time.
"Retreat, the entire army retreats——"
Such an order was to order the Han army behind them to turn their horses around and retreat with all their might, regardless of the cavalry in front of them.
However, how could some people retreat in a fight? When Zhu Biao said this, he actually abandoned the group of people who could not retreat and retreated to save the main force of the two groups behind them.
The soldiers on the front line have become real dead soldiers! This requires their own decision. Are they willing to drag down Hu Qi's back, or are they willing to turn their horses for the slim chance of life, but the swords and guns are cut in front of them?
head--
For Zhu Biao, every time he encounters such a situation, his heart will be extremely painful. Even if he still insists on the front line, his martial arts does not mean that he can retreat at a moment's notice or leave at a moment's notice. Unlike ordinary people,
The situation faced by the soldiers under his command is completely different.
"Brothers, come at me—"
"In the future, don't forget to serve a bowl of wine to your brothers during the Qingming Festival next year!"
"Kill, kill——"
There are those among the Hu cavalry who are brave and not afraid of death, and there are also those who are brave and fearless among the Han army.
It wasn’t just once or twice, but tears still appeared in Zhu Biao’s eyes.
"Kill, kill, kill--" The strong wind blew under the steel gun, and the bones were broken into pieces, and the flesh and blood were invincible.
"Angang~~" The green horse stood up, kicked forward in the air, raised its head and neighed, twisted its waist backwards, and then Zhu Biao Le Rein used the strength of the horse with its legs, and the green horse was stunned after landing on the ground with all four hooves.
The horse's head has been turned around.
The gun swept backwards, and the three golden wolf army puppets that rushed towards them were swung upside down and flew out.
"Drive -" with a loud shout, the green horse spread its hooves and flew out as fast as a meteor. The commander at full rank really grasped the battlefield just right.
The two main forces of the Han army passed by the two flanking Hu cavalry who were outflanking them from the left and right. The Hu cavalry who had worked so hard to organize their troops only ate the dust stirred up by the galloping horses of the Han army.
"Open the bow!" Xie Shuyan's tone was firm. He looked at Hu Qi from the east, who had come one step ahead, with murderous intent in his chest. He had not forgotten a single word of what Zhu Biao said before leaving the city. Even if he died tonight, he would be strong
The ground was nailed to the position to give the attacking army a living escape route.
Each of the foot archers drew their long bows into a round shape and stared unblinkingly at the Hu Qi who was galloping towards the east. In the dark night, the horses neighed and the hoofbeats sounded like thunder.
