Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 12: The Soldiers’ Tricks
Yan Yun glanced at the Qiang soldiers who were surrounding them in darkness, sneered, and galloped along the fence to the left.
At the same time, he held a spear in his right hand to resist the arrows coming from far and near. He pulled out the Qingfeng sword from his waist with his left hand and slashed at the torch on the fence.
Wherever one person or another rode, torches fell to the ground, making craters in the snow, and were quickly extinguished.
Suddenly, this area was surrounded by darkness, and Yan Yun's figure was not as clear as before.
At this time, some of the Dayu warriors following Yan Yun also broke through the encirclement and arrived at the area where the Chinese army was. They raised their swords and killed the two Qiang soldiers who had fallen from the watchtower and were struggling to their death.
"Is this the Chinese army?" asked a commander of Dayu Shifu.
"Yes, look at that golden tent..." A soldier pointed at the majestic golden tent under the heavy bombardment, unable to conceal his excitement in his words.
"Quickly, use your strong bow and fire an arrow, and notify the commander!" shouted the captain of ten, "The rest of the people block the back, quick!"
So, the group of people who broke in was divided into two groups. One group faced the pursuers head-on, and the other group was divided into three groups. Each group consisted of two people. The two people worked together to draw the iron bow until it was full and the arrow was vertical. Towards the sky, the gunpowder bound to the arrow is also much thicker than an ordinary rocket.
The captain took out the fire stick and quickly lit the rocket fuse.
Whoosh——
Three rockets in succession, climbing straight into the air!
Usually, arrows are fired in an upward diagonal direction, causing damage to the enemy according to the landing point of the arrow's parabola, or shooting the target in a straight line at close range.
The three rising flames were particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and the arrows suddenly exploded when they reached a high point.
Thousands of flowers bloom suddenly!
In such a prominent position, almost everyone saw it, it was the central army of the Qiang camp.
The father and son Yan Chang and Yan Hu had already broken into the Qiang tent. At first, the Qiang army was in chaos and did not encounter much resistance.
But after all, they were only more than two thousand people. No matter how bluffing they were, they threw themselves into the vast Qiang army formation, and the shortcomings of the small number of people were revealed.
In addition, the Qiang people also gradually woke up from their panic, and their defense forces quickly strengthened and stabilized their position.
The father and son were already injured, they were tired from fighting, and they were brave, so the power of breaking the army with the two as the leader was greatly reduced.
As more and more Qiang soldiers were organized, the two men and the Dayu troops they led fell into a bitter battle.
The rocket blooming in the sky was like a beacon, which lifted the spirits of the two of them!
"The East Wolf King has surrendered!" Yan Chang, covered in blood, fended off several oncoming weapons and yelled, "You barbarians, why don't you just surrender?"
Yan Hu's tongue was like thunder, and he also shouted: "Don't kill the general who surrenders!"
Sergeant Dayu, who was caught in the melee, did not know the specific situation, but since it was the commander-in-chief and the second general who shouted this, how could it be false?
For a time, the morale of the soldiers in Dayu was high, and they shouted in unison while fighting fiercely.
"Your wolf master is gone, why don't you surrender quickly?"
"Dayu will surrender his soldiers if he doesn't kill him..."
Soldiers who, deception also!
Yan Yun had discussed the three rockets with his father and brother before setting off. As soon as they arrived at the Chinese army's position in disguise, they would launch three rockets, one to point out the direction, and the other to disturb the Qiang people.
Regardless of whether the "East Wolf King was beheaded by the owl" story created by Dayu soldiers is true or false, it will shake the hearts of the Qiang soldiers and generals.
The Chinese army is heavily guarded by Qiang people. It is certainly not easy to kill the Eastern Wolf King, but the rocket is indeed sent from the Chinese army. Who can guarantee that the Eastern Wolf King is still alive?
The four Qiang generals surrounding Yan Chang and his son were a little confused, and their attacks were not as sharp as before. One of the generals even said, "I will go to investigate," and then broke away from the battle group and left on horseback.
Once this starts, how can the other three generals have the energy to fight with all their strength?
The three Qiang generals each made an imaginary move and tried to evacuate the battle group and left.
How could Yan Chang and his son miss this opportunity? After all, Yan Hu was young and reacted very quickly. He grabbed the iron bow from the saddle and shot an arrow at the last Qiang general.
The Qiang general heard the wind blowing behind his head and couldn't turn around, so he had to step aside. The arrow penetrated three inches from his left back.
He felt pain, his hand holding the reins loosened and he swayed. Although he didn't fall off the horse, his speed was much slower.
Yanchang rushed to catch up with him, and when he looked forward, he saw a flash of blood, and the Qiang general immediately rolled off his horse.
The leading Qiang general died three times and fled. The Qiang soldiers couldn't help but panic and lost all morale. Although there were many people, they only regretted that their parents had lost two legs and were scattered like birds and beasts.
The Qiang army attacked the city, which made Yan Chang worried for three months. This time he made a surprise attack on the Qiang camp, and he was even more prepared to wrap his body in horse leather. He killed the Qiang general in one fell swoop, making his three months of depression disappear.
.
"Follow me and charge to kill! Kill..." Yan Chang shouted with high spirits and took the lead in the pursuit.
Those Qiang cavalry were okay, after all, they could run very fast on four legs, but the Qiang infantry was unlucky and was killed countless times by Dayu soldiers.
The number of soldiers led by Yanhu of Yanchang was less than 2,000. They were purely lone warriors, but they were like a huge dragon, cutting a bloody path from the Qiang tent.
When the dragon head passed the city tower, Yanlong, who was waiting anxiously, also saw the arrows shooting in the air. He couldn't help but burst out with joy, slammed the city bricks, and shouted: "Good third brother, you are really my brother's good third brother!"
At this time, Lu, who was sitting in the horse's shoes at the foot of the city, had spies returning to the city.
"How is the battle going? Report quickly!" Yan Long shouted.
"General, there is a fire in the enemy camp. The commander-in-chief and the second general have penetrated deep into the enemy camp..." The spy ran too fast and spoke in a dry voice, but he was extremely excited.
"Okay, haha!" Yan Long laughed heartily. Soon, his laughter subsided and he stared fiercely at the enemy camp where the flames stretched.
No matter how brave Sergeant Dayu was, after all, the number was too small, and the enemy camp was certainly in chaos, but when viewed from the tower, the actual situation was not optimistic.
Looking at the enemy camp as a whole, we can see that only about half of the enemy camp is in turmoil, and nearly half of the area is still relatively calm.
If at this time there was another group of Dayu soldiers and horses rushing in parallel with Yanchang, the deterrent effect on the enemy would be very different.
Yan Long clenched his teeth and shouted suddenly: "Where is Zhou Tong?"
"The end is here!" Zhou Tong's response came from the city gate.
The dozens of horses brought by Di You were indeed extraordinary. Every knight's horse, including Zhou Tong's, was actually equipped with an extra pair of armor.
This piece of armor was previously kept in the luggage, but because Yanlong forced them to obey orders, he took it out to cover the armor on the war horses.
Behind the cavalry in the front was an infantry phalanx composed of wounded soldiers.
Yanlong looked down, his eyes glowing, and said: "Well done, Zhou Tong, well done!"
"General, I have been in the army for ten years. Today, I know that my generals of Dayu are heroic in guarding the land, loyal and courageous, which is impressive." Zhou Tong was actually a bloody Chinese character. He raised his hands and said with emotion, "General and all the brothers.
We have discussed it, and if the general is driven, he will not give up even if he is killed!"
"Okay, follow me to the battle!" Yan Long strode down the tower, stepped onto the war horse, and took the horse's spear from the soldiers.
"I wish you success, general!" the veteran soldier in the platoon shouted from the top of the city.
Yan Long said: "The general can only leave fifty people to guard the city with you, can you hold it?"
The veteran in the platoon said solemnly: "People are in the city!"
At the open city gate, the sound of horse hooves was heard, raising mud and snow all over the ground, and a group of people and horses were pointing directly at the Qiang tent!
