To be honest, Chen Cheng also knew that what he came up with was not a good idea. The problem was that their capital was too small. There were only more than a thousand people in total, and they were even half on foot and on horseback. Even if he were the reincarnation of Huo Qubing, he wouldn't be able to do anything. If he gave
With ten thousand elite cavalry, or even five thousand elite cavalry, he dared to rush out directly.
But Tian Yu only pulled out a thousand people, which is really annoying. The key is that we don’t know what the situation is in Guanzi City. Logically speaking, Gongsun Zan is the future overlord of the north, so he won’t overturn in such a small place, right?
But there are no absolutes. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought in Poyang Lake. Zhu Yuanzhang's ship was sunk several times without incident. Chen Youliang was defended by his own warship.
The arrows flying across the battlefield killed him.
This...should we say that Zhu Yuanzhang is destined to have a great fate, or should we say that Chen Youliang is a little bit rude?
There were similar situations in the late Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng was exploring the terrain in Jiugong Mountain, he was killed by the landlord militia, and Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by a stray arrow in the battle formation. Who should he talk to for explanation? Fighting is inherently a matter of luck.
No one is sure whether Gongsun Zan will die here. If he dies now, he will naturally not be the overlord of the north in the future.
But since you decide to do it, you must do it well.
Chen Cheng leaned against the rock, added two logs to the fire on the ground, and began to think about what to do next. No matter what, a battle was inevitable.
Tian Yu asked the soldiers to cut down the trees. The thicker trunks were used as the outer walls of the camp, and the thinner trunks were tied in a row with ropes and buried in the soil to serve as horse barriers. Then a circle of trenches was dug around the perimeter.
The camp is now complete. The camp is very simple, with no suspension bridges, watchtowers, or barracks. However, even such a simple camp can already give people a strong sense of comfort.
Perhaps because the long siege exhausted his patience and energy, or perhaps because he simply did not expect, Zhang Chunjun did not discover what happened on the west mountain during the next day, which allowed the Han army to successfully survive the most dangerous time. Since
With the enemy troops so lax, Chen Cheng had a new idea.
In the evening, after he had someone replace the enemy's task at the foot of Arrow Mountain, he took off his disgusting coat and went to the camp to discuss with Tian Yu.
"Are you saying that we made a big show of pretending to be reinforcements from Jizhou?"
Tian Yu frowned and said, "But we only have a thousand people. The enemy won't be fooled, right?"
Chen Cheng said: "Even if they don't believe it, they will at least have doubts. When they attack at night, they shout that the imperial reinforcements have arrived. It's all in the dark and they can't see how many of us there are. The enemy will definitely panic."
Tian Yu slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, I will let the soldiers rest now and set off at five o'clock! It's just that the mountain road is rugged, and more than 200 war horses and other draft horses and pack horses have been left behind. Those who can be sent out to meet you
There are only three hundred riders."
Chen Cheng said: "This place is ten miles away from the river, and there is flat land in the middle. It is too dangerous for the infantry to be released, so we can only use cavalry. Three hundred cavalry is three hundred cavalry, which is enough!"
He added: "After daybreak, you take people back to the camp to hold on. I will take advantage of the chaos and rush into Guanzi City to meet with General Zhonglang. The biggest fear of the defenders is that there are no reinforcements. As long as they know that reinforcements are coming from outside, the morale in the city will definitely be
Big shake!"
After the two discussed it, Chen Cheng went to select the manpower and weapons for the night attack. Tian Yu inspected the camp with his own soldiers. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Chen Cheng's, he was careful and good at boosting morale. He commanded a thousand people.
The army is already very handy.
In order not to be discovered by the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain, there was no fire in the camp. The soldiers rested on their swords and fell asleep with excitement or anxiety. At the fourth watch, Tian Yu woke up from his deep sleep. He
The soldiers who were about to attack were asked to cry out, loosen and open the bits of the war horses, take out the best fodder, and feed them until they were full.
Chen Cheng had already made preparations, and he led thirty people on horseback to go ahead.
"Thirty Han cavalry have joined your team."
In the darkness, the horses walked slowly in small steps, and the cool breeze from the mountains blew on the face, which refreshed people's spirits. Chen Cheng looked back and saw hundreds of horses following him. Thousands of horse hooves were tapping on the ground.
, making a dull sound.
Although it was still dark, many Wuhuan people scattered outside had been awakened. They poked their heads out of their tents and looked around, assuming that some tribe was going to grab the pasture so early. The nearby turf
They were all gnawed bald, and the herdsmen had to go further afield to graze their cattle.
In the darkness, a dog barked, causing many dogs to bark wildly. Someone asked loudly: "Which movie are you from?"
When Chen Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. Plans always fail to keep up with changes. Talking about night attacks, they were ruined before they even got involved. These Wuhuan people are really just herding sheep. Why do they keep so many dogs?
There was the sound of horse hoofbeats around him, and Tian Yu rushed up. His face was tense, and he lowered his voice and said: "The situation has changed. I want to directly attack the enemy camp. Do you think it is feasible for Wen Zheng?"
Chen Cheng's martial arts was the best among the people he had ever seen. Now that the situation was not as expected, he rushed over to discuss with Chen Cheng. It was said to be a discussion, but in fact, he had already made up his mind and just asked someone to help him.
Make sure. Chen Cheng naturally knows what Tian Yu is thinking. He dares to lead a thousand people over the mountains and ridges to rescue Guanzicheng. There is no need to doubt Tian Yu's courage.
He turned around and said to the nervous Tian Yu: "The matter has reached this point, is there any other way? I will take the lead, but the captain must not forget that we will withdraw as soon as it gets dark!"
Tian Yu nodded heavily and said, "Of course I remember!"
While he was talking, all three hundred cavalrymen had arrived beside him, and they had set up an assault formation. Chen Cheng took a long breath, put away all his distracting thoughts, then raised his spear and said loudly: "Then
Come with me!"
After that, he rushed out at the lead. Tian Yu was delayed for a moment, kicked the horse in the belly, and shouted: "Charge!"
The sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, bursting suddenly in the darkness. There were several Wuhuan camps on both sides of the river. Some people in the camps had long been awakened by the barking of dogs outside. Now they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside.
Someone shouted loudly. In an instant, more than ten camps along both sides of the river were boiling.
Chen Cheng was indifferent to the noise from the outside world. He loosened his fingers and shot an arrow over a Wuhuan soldier who was roaring on the watchtower. The steel arrow cluster easily tore the sheepskin coat and tore away the contents inside.
The shot penetrated the human body. The soldier screamed and fell from the high tower.
Many people ran out of the tent, including men, women, old and young. Chen Huacheng put away his bow and arrows, took out his spear, overturned a brazier, lit the tent on the side, and shouted wildly: "Jizhou
Reinforcements have arrived!"
Tian Yu, who was behind him, understood and led the soldiers in shouting: "Reinforcements are here!"
Most of the people in the camp by the river are old and weak, how can they stop this group of wolf-like cavalry? The thirty cavalry following Chen Cheng are not only wearing iron armor, but also being covered by a halo, enjoying "all the benefits".
With the BUFF "reduce damage taken by half", they and Chen Cheng fought in from the south of the camp and then fought out from the north.
Behind them, flames shot up into the sky, and half of the camp was set on fire. In the light of the fire, Tian Yu and his men were killing each other. The dizzy Wuhuan people were killed and fled in all directions, making the entire camp even more chaotic. In order to
For easy access to water, a lot of cattle and sheep were left overnight in the camp. It was more like a large livestock pen than a camp. After the animals were frightened, they rushed out and ran around.
On the open virtual screen, the green information in the lower left is constantly flashing. Green means that the enemy has been killed or stunned, yellow means that one's own soldiers or allies have been stunned, and red means that the ovary soldiers or allies have been hit.
Kill. Now there is a green light in the lower left corner, indicating that the battle is going smoothly.
Well, as long as the green light doesn't come out of your head, it's good.
In the darkness, Chen Cheng shouted: "Follow me, don't get lost!"
After that, he took the lead and rushed to another camp two miles away. There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and only twenty cavalry followed, and the others were separated. This is a very common situation in war, let alone this cold weapon.
In the feudal era, even two thousand years later, it was still a common occurrence.
Chen Cheng had no time to gather the others, so he could only expand the chaos before the enemy could react.
Some of the Wuhuan people in the second camp have been organized. Behind the wooden fence, there are densely packed soldiers, or herdsmen, with bows and arrows and spears. The gate has been closed, and many people in the camp have weapons.
They were shouting loudly while burning torches. In the light of the fire, the soldiers and herdsmen were running around like headless flies.
When Chen Cheng saw hundreds of enemies blocking the gate, he thought to himself: There are some heroes among the Wuhuan people. He quickly thought of a way to deal with it. It's just that his heroes are my enemies! He gritted his teeth and said:
The voice said: "Stop, stop!"
He didn't care whether the people behind him heard it or not. He rushed to the place eighty paces outside the camp and let the war horses gallop back and forth. He himself used his bow and arrows on horseback to shoot down the enemies behind the fence and those who crowded into the door one by one.
.
"You killed a Wuhuan nomad."
"You gained 18 experience points."
"You killed a rebel soldier."
"You gained 45 experience points."
............................
............................
The arrows shot out very quickly. At a distance of sixty meters, even on the back of a galloping horse, one enemy could be shot down every two times he fired the bow. The enemies were really too dense, and there was no good armor.
Leather armor cannot stop the heavy arrows shot by the three-stone bow.
Many Wuhuan and rebel soldiers in the camp were shot and killed. Naturally, they could not just wait to be beaten. Many people took off their hunting bows and soft bows and stared at the sound of horse hooves in the darkness outside.
Shoot. But the fire was bright in the camp, but it was pitch black outside. Although the arrows flew out like a downpour, most of them hit the open space.
Occasionally, the shots that hit Chen Cheng didn't have much power at a distance of sixty steps. The Wuhuan people's soft bows and bone arrow formations were only used for hunting rabbits, and they were almost better without them in the battle formation.
.Only the crossbows of the Han rebels were a threat, but their number was too small, and Chen Cheng was driving his horses back and forth, so it would be weird to be shot.
Seeing this, more than 20 cavalrymen also shot arrows into the camp in the dark. They did not have the supernatural power of Chen Cheng, and they only used good bows with one stone, but their accuracy and strength were much worse. Some people were anxious and rushed to the camp on the 30th.
Bu Nei shot an arrow, but was hit in the face by an arrow flying from the camp. He screamed on the spot and fell to the ground.
Chen Cheng shouted loudly: "Back off, everyone, step back and wait outside!"
After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed to where the cavalry fell. He bent down and stretched out his hands to lift the man up from the ground. Then, he galloped a hundred steps away from the horse and put the man on the ground. Now it was a battle.
On top of the formation, there was no time for anyone to get on top of him, so he could only let that person hold on. The man was also very strong-willed. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow from his face. Regardless of the blood on his face, he gritted his teeth and said: "You must be mine."
Take revenge!"
Chen Cheng glanced at the man appreciatively and said, "What a man! What's your name?"
"A certain Gaoyi Zhao Si is the same!"
Chen Cheng stopped talking to Zhao Si, whose face was covered with blood. He rushed to the position eighty steps outside the camp alone. He no longer drove the horse and galloped. Instead, he dismounted and continued to shoot arrows as he advanced.
In the enemy's camp, a bag of arrows was shot out in a moment, and another bag was taken out of the "inventory".
The bow strings kept vibrating in the darkness, and the arrows were shot like a continuous drizzle. Not only did the companions behind the fence and the gate fall to the ground screaming, but the people in the camp did not know how many enemies were coming outside.
Maybe he was shooting at the people outside with his head down. However, the arrow was shot out, and he didn't know what it hit. The companions around him fell to the ground one by one. This situation of being beaten but unable to fight back was too demoralizing.
Soon, people in the camp no longer wanted to shoot arrows, and all the soldiers behind the gate hid further inside. Even if a few officers beat the soldiers hard with whips, the soldiers just changed places to hide.
Got up.
Chen Cheng put the arrow on the bowstring and was about to shoot, but found that there was no easy target in his field of vision. He was stunned for a moment, then put away the bow and arrow, and ran out. After a few steps, the war horse
Running over, he stretched out his hand and pressed his hand on the horse's back. The man had already jumped up and sat down firmly on it.
He rode his horse to a distance of more than a hundred steps outside the camp. The cavalry were dismounting and building up their power. Chen Cheng said loudly: "Can we fight again?"
Wei Ran and others shouted together: "Of course we can still fight!"
Just now, Chen Cheng withstood the counterattack from the opposite side and shot more than a hundred arrows in less than one stick of incense. Not to mention the constant screams in the enemy camp, just being able to shoot a hundred arrows was a feat of physical strength.
It is definitely not something that normal people can do. The military is the place where warriors and heroes are the most important. Since Chen Cheng is an unprecedented warrior, naturally they are not willing to be left behind.
Moreover, during the Han Dynasty, it was normal to value justice over life, so why should a man be afraid of death?
