(I said I don’t want to collect it, do you believe it?)
The shrill horn sounded, and most of the German soldiers who had fallen asleep scrambled to their feet. They hurriedly put on their leather armor, grabbed their weapons and rushed out. Many soldiers could not bear the sudden pressure and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Yelling, running and roaring, sounds like howling wolves echoed one after another in the Tiande Army camp.
Regardless of whether it was a psychological effect or not, the fear and panic of the soldiers became less intense after the shouting. Under the command of junior officers, the soldiers began to assemble in an orderly manner. Although it still seemed a bit hasty, at least nothing chaotic happened. Soldiers
They hold scimitars in their hands, that's enough.
"How many Khitans are here?!"
Mie Die didn't care whether Li Feng had a flashback before his death, he just took advantage of Li Feng's ability to speak and was still awake to get as much information about the Khitans as possible.
"No... I don't know. The Khitan wolf riders were all dressed in black and didn't hold up torches. Moreover, they didn't charge, they just advanced slowly. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, the Khitan people were no more than a hundred steps away from my scouts.
.It was so dark that I couldn’t see them at all. My men simply ran into them and died.”
Li Feng knew that he had to report the military situation as clearly as possible now. Although he was in great pain, as a qualified soldier, he forced himself to continue. He spit out a large mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile: "Those wolves
The cavalry are not human at all! Before we even fought, the smell of blood from their bodies hit my nose. Not only the cavalry, but even their horses were as frightening as ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests."
"I don't know their specific number, but they are obviously well prepared. My scouts tried their best to cover me and get the report back. They did not pursue me, and still kept moving forward slowly. They seemed... not in a hurry.
.”
Mie Die supported him and asked: "You mean, this is an elite Khitan army. They came at night but did not intend to launch a surprise attack?"
Li Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that's the case. Their advance speed is not fast, and their formation is as neat as if it was cut out by a knife. My subordinate... my subordinate thought, they didn't plan to make a surprise attack at night at all, but
Plan to storm in."
Marching in the night and not choosing to make a surprise attack when it was dark and unprepared, what was the idea of this Khitan cavalry? Mie Duo quickly calculated in his mind, and as the horn sounds outside the tent gradually became more regular
, his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Yes, the Khitans who attacked this time must have a large number of people. They were not familiar with the terrain and did not know that this was where our Tiande army was stationed. They came here by mistake. The reason why they did not choose to attack was because now
They still haven't determined where the Tiande army's camp is. Moreover, the Khitan army has detoured back to the south of the Qilian Mountains, apparently to go behind the Xixia army in the Qilian Mountains. In order not to leak the news, all the Xixia soldiers they met along the way were killed.
They killed Anku, and Dilo's patrol cavalry only hit their swords.
But since Li Feng escaped back, why didn't they pursue him? Perhaps because of the continuous encounters with the visiting cavalry of the Tiande Army, the Khitan leader who led the army must have guessed that there was a large group of Xixia troops stationed nearby. The reason why the general did not pursue Li Feng was
Because they were not sure of the specific location of the Tiande army, Li Feng's escape actually played a role in leading the way for them. The reason why the Khitan leader did not launch a surprise attack was because he was not sure of the specific location and number of troops of the Tiande army, but the Khitan people came in sufficient numbers.
So I walked slowly to build up my strength and prepare for a large-scale battle with the reinforcements of our Tiande army.
After thinking about this, Mie Die gently patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said, "You can rest in my tent. If you can survive this time, I will promote you to the rank of fifth-grade cavalry captain."
Li Feng glanced at Bie Die gratefully: "Thank you... General Xie, no need. I... my subordinates know that I will definitely not survive this time. Ahem... the Khitan warriors leading the army are very powerful. I am injured."
Internal organs, live... you won’t live long.”
Mie Die's eyes turned red and he said loudly: "Fart! You are a soldier promoted by me personally. If I say you are not allowed to die, you are not allowed to die!"
Li Feng smiled and suddenly remembered something. He took Mie Die's hand and said, "General, there is one more thing you must pay attention to. Those wolf cavalry... are all heavy armored cavalry!"
"Ahem!"
Because of his excitement, Li Feng coughed violently. He coughed up a ball of minced meat and dropped it to the ground, which was shocking.
"Heavy Cavalry!"
Mie Die said in surprise: "You read that right? The Khitan cavalry has always pursued speed and mainly used light armor. I have never heard of the Khitan having heavy armored cavalry."
Li Feng smiled miserably and said: "You can't be mistaken. Not only are the Khitan cavalry men wearing heavy armor, but even their horses are wearing full armor. The weapons they are equipped with are not the scimitars that the Khitan people are accustomed to, but mainly long weapons.
.I will have no regrets if I can fight against such cavalry and see such powerful combat effectiveness..."
Li Feng smiled and cried: "I still have my mother at home..."
Mie Die held his hand and said, "Don't worry, your mother is my Mie Die's mother, and I will take care of her from now on!"
"Thank you...general!"
Li Feng uttered the last three words, tilted his neck, and died.
No wonder, no wonder they didn't launch a surprise attack! Mie Die clenched his fists fiercely. The heavy armored cavalry simply had no advantage in speed, and the terrain was unknown in the dark, so they naturally didn't dare to attack rashly!
After placing Li Feng's body, Mie Die's eyes gradually brightened. He got out of the tent and strode towards the assembled soldiers.
"Bring me all the heavy crossbows from the warehouse and arrange them in the front, and replace the archers with armor-piercing awls! Little Locke! Get over here!|"
Mie Die roared loudly.
A young warrior about twenty years old rushed over, clasped his fists and saluted: "General, I'm here!"
Mendie pointed to the outside of the camp and said: "Captain Li Feng died in the battle, and you are now the leader of the scouts. I give you twenty men, do you dare to go out and inquire about the enemy's situation?"
The warrior known as Little Locke shouted: "Dare!"
Mie Die laughed loudly and said: "Okay, take twenty scouts with you. Don't go too far. When you encounter the enemy, come back. Your task is to check the enemy's position!"
"I obey my orders!"
Little Locke turned around, ordered twenty scouts, mounted their horses, and roared out of the camp.
"Come here, light a fire three hundred steps outside the camp. The more fires the better!"
Mie Die continued to give orders, and hundreds of Xixia infantry rushed out quickly, collected firewood, and lit dozens of bonfires three hundred steps away from the camp. The firewood sprinkled with vegetable oil burned very vigorously, three hundred steps away.
Although the unexpected situation is still unclear, as long as someone comes within the 300-step heavy crossbow range, the Xixia soldiers will immediately see it clearly.
The heavy crossbows that required four people to operate were carried out. Although there were only six of them, the powerful heavy crossbows were enough to pierce the heavily armored cavalry in a row. The archers had already replaced the expensive armor-breaking cones.
It is so powerful that it can penetrate heavy armor within fifty steps. Although it may not cause fatal injuries, it is far more powerful than ordinary feather arrows.
Time passed quickly. Half an hour had passed since the infantry lit the fire 300 steps away, and Little Locke's men had not come back yet. Mie Die frowned, no matter how slow the enemy was, even if they were walking,
It's time to arrive. Besides, a fire has been lit outside, which will illuminate the enemy's position for those on your side. For the enemy, it will undoubtedly reveal the target. Even if the enemy is not familiar with the terrain, they should face the fire.
Nice walk, right?
Another half an hour passed, and little Locke still didn't come back.
Mie Die's heart became more and more nervous, and his palms were sweaty.
"Come here, send fifty more people out to see if Little Locke is dead!"
When he shouted these words, he never thought that because of his words, the fear that the soldiers struggled to suppress would begin to overflow unstoppably.
"Who is the enemy?"
"Han Army?"
"Impossible, the Han army doesn't have the guts. Didn't you hear Captain Li shouting when he came back just now? The Khitan people are coming, it's the Khitan Wolf Cavalry!"
"Khitan Wolf Riders? Aren't the Khitans all confronting General Chen in the north of the Qilian Mountains? How could they come here?"
"I heard that Lord Anku and Lord Di Luo were both killed in the battle!"
"What are you talking about! Master Anku is a well-known strong man in our Tiande Army, and he also died in the battle?"
"Why haven't you come yet? Come quickly. I feel uneasy just waiting for you."
…
Fifty cavalry roared and rushed out, and soon disappeared behind the light of the fire 300 steps away. The fire only illuminated a range of more than ten meters in all directions. Beyond this range, the darkness became even deeper.
Ah! Ah! Help!
Continuous screams came from far away from the fire and clearly reached the ears of every Xixia soldier in the camp. The cry for help seemed to ring in their ears and in their hearts.
It was so terrifying. Everyone's heart was clenched tightly, as if it was about to burst out of their throats. Their heartbeats began to speed up, and their palms became more and more sweaty.
Slowly, a Xixia cavalry covered in blood crawled on the snow and appeared next to the fire 300 steps away. He wailed and crawled hard, dragging a long trail of blood on the snow with his body. This was just now
Among the fifty cavalrymen who rushed out, he was the only one who was still alive for the time being. He kept shouting for help, expecting his companions in the camp to save him. His legs were broken and the leg bones were punctured.
The flesh and blood are exposed.
"help me!"
The soldiers all looked at Men Die, and they were all waiting for orders from Men Die. However, what they were waiting for was the order to prepare for battle, not to save people.
A dark man riding a war horse that exuded a strong smell of blood slowly appeared in the light of the fire. He sat down on the horse very slowly, but every step seemed to be stepping on the Xixia camp.
In the heart of the soldier, this devil in black armor slowly caught up with the Xixia soldier crawling on the ground, slowly raised the long spear in his hand, aimed it at the back of the Xixia soldier, and thrust it down violently.
!
Blood splatters, human life is cheap.
The black-armored knight tied a wolf-head flag representing the Khitan Wolf Riders to his pole and raised it high. He stared at the Xixia soldiers who were waiting for him, and smiled contemptuously. He turned around, left, and disappeared into the boundless landscape.
