"Uncle Yang, the front army is 10,000 people, the center army is 10,000 people, and the rear army is 10,000 people. According to this, we will mobilize 30,000 people. Give them a hard beating at night!"
"Master Lu, go and see if all the war horses in Xiangyang City are mobilized. The attack must have cavalry, no matter how few, there are still cavalry."
"Shi Li, go and gather all our people and be the vanguard tonight!"
"yes!"
"Got the order!"
Yang Tiexin and Shi Li accepted their orders one after another. Seeing this, Mr. Lu could only nod helplessly: "Okay, I will help you prepare the horses. I hope you can return in triumph!"
At midnight, Shi Lei waved his hand: "Be careful where you are. After arriving at the designated location, your task is to wait. After an hour, we will launch a surprise attack. Shi Li, the five thousand people you lead must be ready to respond at any time.
Shijian, Shiyu, you set out now and get as close to Jinying as possible, but you must not be discovered."
"yes!"
Twenty thousand people descended from the east wall like dumplings. What they raided tonight was the enemy's east camp, not the camp directly north.
This is the first time the Xiangyang army has fought outside the city. This is a manifestation of self-breakthrough. There are only two consequences. The first result is success. Then the Xiangyang army will have the confidence and ability to fight in the wild in the future.
If the second type fails, then they will deny themselves again, and it may be difficult to defend the city. It will also affect Shi Lei's lofty status in their minds.
This is an internal reason, and the external reason is that the Jin people basically would not think that they would sneak attack on their Dongfang camp. Maybe in their minds, it is a fantasy for Xiangyang's army to leave the city.
Even if they really leave the city, they must attack the Jin camp in the north, because the Jin commander is there. Instead of attacking the north, does it make sense to attack a camp in the east?
Yes! The main training is as mentioned before. The Xiangyang army needs a big victory outside the city. Secondly, Shi Lei will see if he can transport some wine. Restaurants in Luzhou, Yangzhou, Lin'an and other places have already opened. Before
The wine gift has been sold out, and we are waiting now!
As for why not to build breweries in those places, of course it is to keep it secret. There is currently a shortage of manpower. If a brewery is built in a place that cannot be taken care of, it will most likely be taken over by others.
No matter in that era, the importance of technology is self-evident. In ancient times, there were church apprentices who starved their masters to death, and in modern times, there is even more of a topic of technological blockade.
Although Shi Lei doesn't value a secret brewing method, he values money! How can you fight a war without money? Before the big thing is accomplished, these are still very important things to Shi Lei.
It took half an hour for all the 20,000 troops to get off the tower and head off into the distance.
Shi Lei also went down the city wall and came to the east gate of the city. Shi Lei got on his war horse. There were now three thousand cavalry gathered here.
Shi Lei rode his horse around for a while and nodded with satisfaction. His voice was not loud, and it could completely serve the purpose of a surprise attack. It turned out that the feet of the horses of these three thousand cavalrymen were wrapped in a thick layer of linen cloth under Shi Lei's order.
The sound has decreased a lot.
Time passed slowly, and an hour later, Shi Lei shouted: "Open the city gate!"
The city gate slowly opened, Shi Lei and Yang Tiexin rushed out first, and the three thousand cavalry from behind also rushed out quickly.
It was silent, with only the whistling sound of the night wind. Their goal was very clear, which was the Jin camp in front!
And the Jin people are still in a sweet dream. Maybe they are having a nightmare, dreaming that their comrades are sacrificed in front of them, and the people around them are being smashed to death by things on the city tower. Maybe they are having a sweet dream, dreaming that they invade Xiangyang City
, do whatever you want!
But these are not always necessary! With a loud sound of the word "kill", the whole camp was instantly in chaos.
After the three thousand cavalry led by Shi Lei rushed into the Jin soldiers' camp, they first faced the patrolling and guarding Jin soldiers.
This sudden attack made the Jin people feel their heads buzzing, and they collapsed at the first touch.
Then Shi Lei led three thousand cavalry and galloped through the Jin camp. Killing everyone they saw! The Jin soldiers who were killed screamed in agony. Many Jin soldiers ran out to check the situation, not to mention their weapons and even their armor.
After all, the three thousand cavalry were too few. Most of the golden soldiers had already begun to assemble to prepare for a counterattack. But they had no time to assemble. The 20,000-strong army rushed directly into the gap that the cavalry had made.
Although these 20,000 people were all infantry, they directly smashed the Jin army that had no time to assemble into pieces. The organization was unable to lose any combat effectiveness.
The Jin troops were defeated and fled. Shi Lei led his troops to pursue them for two miles. When he saw the neatly arranged Jin troops, Shi Lei immediately ordered to turn around and go back. Because the direction of the Jin troops' retreat was to the north, it could be said to be the main camp of the Jin troops. Number of people
There are no less than 100,000 people. They must be support troops from the northern camp.
The current Xiangyang army is indeed inferior to them in frontal combat, and is not suitable for fighting them head-on. Even in the sneak attack just now, Shi Lei was afraid that the enemy would organize an effective resistance, and then they would be defeated directly. Fortunately, there was no such thing.
Condition.
An army without self-confidence can easily end up in the situation that Shi Lei is worried about. Just like the Song Dynasty now. One hundred thousand people were defeated by thousands of others. It is because there is no self-confidence and no bloody spirit. As soon as they rush over, they themselves
The momentum has dropped a lot.
Then they became more ferocious, the front army was defeated, and the entire army collapsed in an instant. At that time, it was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Therefore, when the Xiangyang army's bloody strength had not fully recovered, Shi Lei did not want to use less to fight more.
He was scared to death, stunned to the point of death. The army in Shi Lei's mind should have that kind of momentum, a momentum that would not retreat even if every soldier fights to the end.
After Shi Lei traveled through time, he also had a general understanding of some ancient armies. It can be said that ordinary armies fight. In a disadvantageous situation, the loss of 30% of the troops is basically the limit. If they fight again, they will be defeated directly.
And the army that can truly fight to the last soldier is the strongest army and the most elite army that affects an era.
Shi Lei has also studied this kind of army. He came to a conclusion. One of the big reasons is the issue of faith!
Ordinary armies don't have deep beliefs. They just serve as soldiers and eat food, it's that simple!
When looking at those armies that have faith, the nearest army should talk about Yue Fei’s Yue Family Army. Their belief is Yue Fei, and they are the glorious collective of the Yue Family Army.
