The first thousand two hundred and eighty-two terrible gods ride
On a summer's Yuyang night, the sky is dotted with stars, a full moon hangs high, and the visibility is like daylight within ten steps.
But after more than ten steps, the rising mist and shadowy trees in the forest make people's eyes blurry.
Zhang Dahai took more than thirty soldiers he had personally trained and carefully walked around a hill, avoiding the grass that might contain poisonous snakes, and crawled into a small forest.
In the distance, the Huns' camp is already in sight.
After just a quick look, Zhang Dahai realized that these Huns were really stupid!
Their campsite never considered the possibility of being attacked at night.
The accommodation of war horses and personnel are almost close to each other.
After just a brief glance, Zhang Dahai discovered hundreds of war horses tied in a corral.
And this corral happened to be blocking the intersection of the Xiongnu camp.
Normally, this might not be a big deal.
But if they encounter a night attack by the Han army, they will wish themselves good luck!
In Chinese history, night raids have never been an isolated case. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been countless night raids in the annals of history.
During the Wu-Chu Rebellion seven years ago, the Han army and the rebels staged a textbook night attack and counter-night attack.
Zhang Dahai kept this in mind and continued to move forward.
He and his soldiers were one of the few professional investigators in the Han army.
Everyone has received the most rigorous training.
His body is strong, his limbs are agile, and his eyesight and hearing are far beyond ordinary people.
Even, everyone has some little unique skills.
Similar to Mengchang Jun's roosters and dog thieves, they all have the ability to imitate the roar of wild animals and sneak into the enemy's camp silently.
In the past few years, Zhang Dahai had not only led his own soldiers into the heavily guarded Han army camp under the cover of darkness, bypassed patrols and security sentries, and then took away designated items from the military camp.
In Zhang Dahai's eyes, this Xiongnu camp was just like a child's toy.
Not only did they not dig ditches around the perimeter and set up various open and hidden sentries, they didn't even bother to build a fence.
In this way, the Huns were fearless and entrusted their lives to God.
Who do they think they are?
Zhang Dahai sneered in his heart, then led his men along the grass and entered the Huns' camp.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually an extra-large outdoor camping site composed of numerous tents, domes, war horses, and fodder.
It is similar to the campsite built by Han Dynasty nobles when they were hunting in the mountains and forests.
But even when the nobles of the Han Dynasty camped on their own territory, they also knew how to let their retainers and soldiers take turns training and guarding at night to prevent wild beasts from raiding.
These Huns are good! In addition to a few fixed patrol teams that can be seen, they don't even have to build a high platform in the camp to look in all directions.
"This is simply tempting me to launch a night attack..." Zhang Dahai licked his lips and said. However, his troops were too small, only more than thirty people. Facing such a large body of the Xiongnu, what he could do
Too little damage.
If there are three hundred people and a thousand cavalry outside to cooperate, Zhang Dahai feels that the Huns' ten thousand cavalry will be finished tonight!
Thinking of his mission, Zhang Dahai led his people and dispersed.
More than 30 people, like more than 30 dexterous grasshoppers, quietly bypassed the Huns' already meager patrols and went around to their forage field and the surrounding corrals.
Thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of stones of fodder, like a naked woman, opened her mind to Zhang Dahai.
With a sinister smile, Zhang Dahai and his men poured the liquid contained in some gourds they carried with them into the forage, and then lit up the fires one by one.
But the Huns showed no reaction at all.
This made Zhang Dahai and his subordinates look at each other, almost unable to believe their eyes.
But how did they know that their opponents were not the Huns at all.
They were an army composed of slaves plundered by the Huns after they conquered Dayuan, Kangju and Daxia in the Western Regions.
For the countries in the Western Regions, especially those in the Greek world, night raids? What is that?
The most important thing is that the cavalry composed of these prisoners of war are brave enough, but their eyes and brains are not very bright.
Especially many people have severe night blindness.
After all, these slaves and civilians in the past were very good if they could have a full stomach. How could they dare to expect to eat fruits, especially fruits rich in vitamins?
The Han army was different, because historically, in China's civil war, all countries had used all methods.
Therefore, military ideas and systems have developed to a relatively mature stage, and even have institutions and systems.
Moreover, because in the past, there were too many people who had no moral integrity and were inferior to the opponent in terms of military strength, so they wanted to make a comeback through night attacks.
Therefore, the Han army's camps and ravines were specially designed to prevent enemy night attacks.
However, the concept of night raid did not exist in the minds of these Huns' henchmen.
As for the Huns' cavalry who were good at fighting and marching at night, they were left behind. That's why Zhang Dahai's infiltration was so smooth this time.
All we can say is that these Jebie knights are doing their own thing!
But Zhang Dahai didn't care about this. He blew a whistle and made a crisp cry of swan.
Then he threw the fire stick in his hand into the hay pile.
The fire suddenly burst into flames.
In an instant, the fire spread to the entire hay pile and could no longer be put out!
Because what Zhang Dahai poured was whale oil, and it was the most flammable whale oil! It is precious oil extracted from the oil layer of the whale's brain.
In Chang'an, a pound of this oil can be sold for hundreds of dollars!
And he had just dumped several kilograms of grease on it.
The strength of these greases is almost comparable to that of gasoline in later generations.
As soon as it encounters a spark, flames several feet high immediately burst into flames, engulfing the entire hay pile.
The raging fire soon burned throughout the Huns' camp.
And along the haystacks, the barns and tents were burned.
This is the biggest drawback caused by the Huns not properly arranging and disposing of their camps!
The fire frightened the horses that were locked in the corral.
The frightened horses began to go crazy, and countless war horses jumped out of the burning corral.
It was only at this time that the Huns realized the danger.
Countless people ran out of the dome and the camp, watching in panic as the raging fire spread from the periphery to the entire camp.
"Quickly put out the fire..." Gracchus, wearing a single coat, ran out of his tent, looked at the panic situation, and quickly ordered.
However, it was impossible for Zhang Dahai and his men to let the Huns put out the fire so calmly.
They quietly opened the stalls one by one and released the horses inside.
Thousands of war horses, caught in the fire and without their owners to comfort them, immediately ran around in panic, causing countless panics and making it impossible for the Huns to stop the people from putting out the fire.
At this time, a Han army's light cavalry fifty miles away from the Huns' camp saw the fire burning in the Huns' camp and listened to the noise.
"He really did it!" Li Guang looked into the distance and praised.
Since Zhang Dahai successfully caused panic in the Huns' camp, and it seemed that he exceeded the task, then Li Guangzi would not let down Zhang Dahai's efforts.
"Instruct the captains of each school to divide their troops into three groups, surround the captive camp and kill them with arrows!" Li Guang immediately ordered: "Each department will try its best to create momentum so that the captive chiefs can't figure out the reality of our army!"
"Promise!" All the captains of the school gave military salutes one after another.
Then, more than 800 Han troops on horseback led their horses and headed in three directions.
When they circled out of the mountainous area and occupied the commanding heights, they got on their horses and rushed toward the burning Huns camp with howls.
At this moment, Zheren had just managed to organize the fire-fighting personnel.
Many soldiers had even thrown away their weapons, picked up barrels and various utensils, and were preparing to fetch water from the river.
Being caught off guard and suddenly attacked at night, they were immediately in chaos.
Many people lost their barrels and ran away.
Some people quickly turned around and tried to find weapons to resist.
But this only caused the philosophers to contradict themselves and made the situation even more confusing.
However, Zhang Dahai and his men quietly mingled with the chaotic crowd and took the opportunity to shout in Xiongnu dialect: "It's over, the Han army's divine cavalry is coming, run for your life!"
"Sacred Cavalry?" Upon hearing these two words, the Hun nobles who were originally responsible for supervising and supervising the war were so frightened that they almost collapsed on the ground without even observing carefully.
"Sacred Cavalry?" Gracchus frowned slightly when he heard such a voice.
Isn’t it impossible for the divine knights of the Han Dynasty to appear here?
How is this going?
However, the situation no longer allowed him to think too much.
In the dark night, the hoofbeats of the Han Dynasty cavalry rumbled in.
On the flat ground in the distance, there are vague shadows, almost all of which are the shadows of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
I don’t know how many Han Dynasty people took advantage of the night and the fire to kill them.
But the entire camp was already in chaos.
The entire Jebie Wanqi has no organization or structure.
Countless people were crying and shouting, trying to escape, and the frightened horses running around became the objects of the struggle.
Many people killed each other over the horses.
Those who grabbed the horses did not step forward to resist at all. Instead, they galloped backwards without caring about whether there was anyone on the road. They just ran and trampled over them.
Countless people were injured or died due to trampling.
"Let's go! Gracchus!" Ross led a group of soldiers and rode to the side of Gulag: "It's hopeless!"
Gracchus took a deep look at the army that was running wildly and chaotically in the fire.
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty in the distance had already arrived at the military camp.
Countless arrows shot into the camp from the dark night.
These despicable guys did not rush into the camp at all, but just shot arrows around the Jebe camp.
And now, the Jebe cavalry paid a heavy price for where and how they chose to camp in the evening.
Because they never thought that the Han Dynasty people would dare to take the initiative to attack, let alone that the Han Dynasty people would attack at night.
Therefore, they arranged the camp around the inside and outside of the valley into a loose camp that stretched for several miles.
At this moment, the fire burned into the camp from the outside and even ignited the vegetation on the nearby mountains and forests. The fierce fire hit the Chinese camp in the valley and quickly became uncontrollable.
However, the Han Dynasty people outside were shouting and howling, and fired rockets one after another.
Countless people were hit by arrows and then burned like a burning man, wailing in the camp.
Many people panicked and even ran directly into the fire, eventually being burned inside.
Thousands of war horses were running around, and hundreds of people who had grabbed the horses ran back desperately.
But how dare Gracchus leave?
He knew very well that if he ran away, the master would not let him go!
He will definitely be sent to the altar and let the shamans skin him!
It was just like the master skinned his former boss alive, and his predecessor only lost thirty Huns cavalry when fighting the Kangju people.
"We will die miserably when we go back..." Gulag said: "The master will kill us!"
"No!" Ross rode on the horse and grabbed Gracchus and said: "We will tell the master that the ones who attacked us were the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and our defeat is a matter of course!"
"The Divine Cavalry of the Han Dynasty?" Gracchus took a breath. He looked around, but did not see any of the Divine Cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
However, Rose's next words made him jump on the horse without hesitation.
"Gulag, my love, you are too upright! Even if there is no divine cavalry, the defeated soldiers and the Hun nobles will tell the Great Chanyu that what we encountered is indeed the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty!"
"If we encounter the Divine Cavalry, it is natural that we will be defeated!" Ross emphasized this truth again.
Gracchus nodded sharply after hearing this.
Indeed, losing to the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty is normal, deserved, and even glorious!
I didn't see that although Zhelan people's vitality was severely damaged, every time there was a meeting, Zhelan people always acted like "Although I lost, the person I lost to was the divine horseman of the Han Dynasty. It's not like you scumbags.
Even the light cavalry of the Han Dynasty couldn't defeat it.
But other Huns were accustomed to it, and even thought that the Zhelan people were glorious even though they were defeated.
Especially after the Battle of Gaoque, the nobles of the Xubu and Lan clans, who were defeated for thousands of miles in front of the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry, claimed that the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry was invincible and they ran away without firing an arrow in order to preserve their strength.
, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices and losses.
Not only should the Chanyu not blame them, but he should give them a one-ton medal!
Since even the master's headquarters couldn't defeat the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry, he didn't even dare to fight head-on with the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry.
As a slave, after a fierce battle and a sneak attack by the Han Dynasty, he lost to the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry. Isn't it very normal and particularly reasonable?
After all, how can man defeat God?
Not to mention slaves!
It is very courageous for a slave to be defeated by God instead of kneeling down and waiting for death.
However, deep down in his heart, Gracchus suddenly had an idea: How terrifying were the divine knights of the Han Dynasty? So much so that even the nobles, who he thought were fearless masters, heard the name of the divine knights of the Han Dynasty, and
He was so scared that he was paralyzed, and countless people rushed to get there. They didn't even check whether it was true or false, and just mounted their horses and ran away?
"I'm afraid this trip south won't go smoothly..." Gulag no longer had any hope for his master's trip south this time.
The divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty had not yet appeared, but it had already frightened the Xiongnu nobles who were fearless in the Western Regions and dared to lead hundreds of people to attack thousands of Daxia and Kangju cavalry. They pissed themselves and fled in panic.
So, if the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty really appeared on the battlefield, how would the Huns and even the Wang Ting Wanqi, whose masters were proud and proud of them, behave?
Will they be so frightened that they turn around and run away?
The Gulag didn't know.
But he had heard that during the Battle of Gaoque, a famous general of the Han Dynasty led three thousand divine cavalry all the way north for a thousand miles. As a result, any Huns who saw his army abandoned all their weapons.
Things ran wildly and fled for hundreds of miles.
But, he can't think about these things now.
He must save his life first, and then his wealth and status.
And his only choice was to go back and tell his master that the slave had encountered the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry and was attacked by the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry at night. Therefore, he was defeated and asked his master to punish him!
Moreover, we must try our best to exaggerate and exaggerate the power of the Han Dynasty’s divine cavalry.
After thinking about it, Gracchus suddenly said to Ross: "The divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty is so terrifying! It can actually summon the God of Fire!"
Ross was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking rice, looked at his soldiers with extremely serious eyes and said: "Indeed! It's terrible! I saw with my own eyes the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry summoned a burning giant.
, that’s why we failed…”
