When Wanyan Agu rushed out of the tent with his mace, an explosion had already occurred in the direction of the front camp two or three miles away to the east. In the dark night, shouts of killing mixed with the roar of firearms came, making it noisy and noisy
The flashes of firearms flashed like streaks of lightning in the sky. The panicked shouts and curses of the Jurchen soldiers and horses in the camps were heard everywhere. The muddy water was trampled on and there was a splashing sound. The air was filled with a stir of feces and urine.
The stench afterwards.
All this made Wanyan Aguda feel at a loss for a moment. The scene in the dream just now was so wonderful, but suddenly he had to face the situation in front of him, it was like he had suddenly entered another nightmare.
But soon, the cold raindrops made Wanyan Aguda wake up. After all, he was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. After a moment of trance, he quickly regained his composure.
"Which military camp did the opponent attack? How many people were dispatched? Where is Gerile, Haratu?" Wanyan Agu shouted loudly.
"Big Chief, the current situation is unknown. I only know that the front camp was attacked. It was too dark and the rain was too noisy. The enemy was not discovered until they attacked the front of the camp, so..." the two guards camp generals hurriedly replied.
.
"Damn it, why do I want to hear this? Reorganize the guard camp and fight against me."
Wanyan Agu cursed loudly and urged the soldiers to bring their horses over. Several generals of the guard camp shouted loudly and gathered maces. The guard camp cavalry mounted their horses. Wanyan Agu held the mace in his hand.
Riding their horses through the mud and water, they led thousands of cavalrymen from the Guards Battalion and rushed towards the place where the front camp was fighting.
The rain hit Wanyan Aguda's head and face, soaking his helmet. That's all, the horse staggered a little. The ground was muddy and slippery, and the ground between the camps had already been filled with potholes. It was dark again,
The ground was slippery, and the horse could not move faster at all. Wanyan Aguda was so anxious that he kicked the horse's belly hard to spur the horse. The horse ran as fast as it could, but after only a few steps, it stumbled and fell into the muddy water.
Fortunately, Wanyan Aguda was quick and jumped off the horse, thus avoiding the dilemma of rolling into the muddy water with the horse. But even so, Wanyan Aguda was still splashed with smelly muddy water.
Immediately afterwards, all the war horses in the guard camp beside him also fell down one after another, all because they were urged to run fast. Several horses broke their leg bones, making a thin wailing sound, rolling and struggling on the ground.
.
Wanyan Agu Dal cursed angrily, but he seemed to understand something. Why did the other party choose to launch the attack on the camp tonight? I'm afraid it was calculated. First of all, it was raining today, so the bonfire in the camp could not be lit.
Without the illumination of the bonfire, the entire camp would be completely dark. Once chaos arose, they would run around like headless flies. Moreover, it has been raining non-stop today, and the sparse sound will cover up the opponent's sneaking footsteps.
Especially the sound of raindrops hitting the tent was actually very loud. At this time, most of the soldiers could only hide in the tent from the rain. The soldiers on alert could not see the enemy clearly from the high watchtower, and even more
Because the sound of rain hitting the tents in a full camp will block the hearing. Furthermore, the ground is slippery and muddy, and soldiers and horses cannot quickly support the attacked area. Just like in front of me, I want to rush to the attacked camp quickly.
Not up to it.
This kind of situation is definitely not accidental, it must be the deliberate choice of the opponent. Wanyan Aguda is convinced of this, because his opponent is Lin Jue.
Now he no longer has any slack or disdain for Lin Jue. That is a strong and difficult opponent, and he has mobilized all his energy and ability to deal with this opponent.
"Abandon the horse and run over barefoot." Wanyan Agu made a decisive decision. Since we can't run on horseback, the opponent's attacking troops must also be infantry, so there is no need to fight on horseback. It is definitely still difficult to do it wearing boots, but barefoot
Running will be much better. This is a good way to deal with muddy roads. Barefoot soles are often more effective than any boots, and will not slip or get too much mud.
It has to be said that the reason why Wanyan Aguda is today is no accident. The more times like this, the more willing he is to take risks. This is mid-March, although spring is in full swing, but the muddy water is cold. Bare feet
You can imagine the feeling of stepping into muddy water. But Wanyan Aguda and his soldiers are not old soldiers, and they are willing to fight at critical moments. When they were fighting Yelu Zongyuan, on a cold night in early winter, Wanyan Agu
A large-scale sneak attack on the Liao army camp was to order the men to swim naked across a frozen glacier, then rush into the opponent's camp unexpectedly, capture the enemy general's head and win. Compared with that, the incident at hand is not worth mentioning.
.
Five thousand personal guards ran wildly after Wanyan Aguda with bare feet. The front camp was two miles away, which was not far away. When they were halfway, a small group of people stumbled towards Wanyan Aguda.
I thought they were soldiers attacking the camp, and when I was about to prepare for a fight, the other side spoke first.
"Whose troops and horses are there? I am Timur, which brother's troops and horses are here to help?" Because the troops and horses were coming from the direction of the central military camp, the other party did not misunderstand and shouted in advance.
Timur was a deputy general in the front camp. How could Wanyan Agu not recognize it, so he shouted sharply: "Temur, it's me. How many enemies attacked the camp? How is the situation in the front camp?"
Timur heard the voice of Wanyan Aguda, and rushed over with great joy and shouted: "It turns out to be the big leader. There are not many enemies attacking the camp. I am afraid there are only more than ten thousand people."
After hearing this, Wanyan Aguda felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Only ten thousand people attacked the camp, which was by no means a breakout, just an attack on the camp. Dealing with an attack on a camp is different from dealing with a breakout. If the other party wants to take the opportunity to break out, then he must immediately
When the horn is sounded, all the troops and horses will take action. The method to deal with the opponent's breakout is actually very simple. If the enemy chooses to make a full-scale assault in one direction to the west, the troops and horses on the west side will immediately come over for reinforcements. The troops and horses on the east side of the hill will
Because of the long distance, it is impossible to go around the hills for reinforcements, so they will attack the hills directly, and then attack their backs after taking the hills. This is the fastest way to take a shortcut for reinforcements.
"Why are there more than ten thousand people in such a panic?" Wanyan Agu shouted.
"They had ferocious firearms. They threw an explosive firearm before they reached the camp. They rushed in while our brothers were in a daze, and fired firearms everywhere, killing many of us. Because it was too chaotic, I don't know how many of the other party's weapons there were.
Troops, General Wuliji promptly ordered all three battalions of the front army to come for reinforcements. They must have known that they were outmatched, so they turned to attack the left camp. General Wuliji sent me to report to the big leader and ask if reinforcements were needed."
Timur said.
"Reinforcement, why not reinforcement? Do you even need to ask?" Wanyan Agu cursed loudly.
"But General Uligi
The army is worried that they are trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If the third battalion of the front army goes to the left camp and there is an attack from the other side, the middle gate will be wide open. The third battalion of the front army is guarding the entrance to the big leader's tent of the central army."
Timur smacked his lips.
Wanyan Agu understood. It turned out that Wuliji was afraid of the Luoyan Army's tricks. Indeed, behind his position was his own Chinese army's tent. His three battalions of more than 30,000 troops could not be easily evacuated. Then
The middle door was wide open, and the opponent could directly reach the Chinese army camp. You can't blame Ulji for not being willing to rescue him immediately.
"That's all, go tell Wuliji immediately and order him to lead the troops from the front camp to reinforce the left camp. It's best to cut off their way back to the hill." Wanyan Agu shouted loudly.
Timur hurriedly said: "Follow your orders."
Timur turned and left. Wanyan Aguda suddenly asked: "Who leads the left camp? The cavalry or the infantry?"
Timur scratched his head and said: "It's ten thousand infantry. I heard that Li Guoqiu's military division led the Tiefutu cavalry to station in the left camp a few days ago to assist the defense line..."
Wanyan Agu suddenly remembered that after deploying troops and horses to attack Funiu Mountain a few days ago, the troops and horses besieging the hill had been adjusted. In order to make up for the further weakening of the formation, Wanyan Agu asked Li Guoqiu to lead the Iron Buddha Cavalry.
Reinforce Zuoying. Firstly, it is to increase Zuoying's manpower and make up for the weaknesses of the formation. Secondly, it is because it does not want to hear Li Guochou chattering beside him. Now the opponent is attacking Zuoying.
"No, hurry up and rescue them. Damn it, my Iron Buddha Cavalry can't do anything wrong." Wanyan Aguda suddenly shouted loudly, and Sayazi rushed towards Zuoying.
…
The Jurchen army's left camp was already filled with shouts of killing. Lin Jue made full preparations for this attack on the camp. In order to facilitate the soldiers and horses to sneak silently, the 20,000 soldiers and horses who participated in the attack also went barefoot and rolled up their trouser legs.
.The only difference from their opponents is that the bare feet of Luoyan Army soldiers and horses are wrapped with some straw ropes, which is not only for better anti-slip, but also to reduce noise.
Just as Wanyan Aguda had thought before, this night attack was completely a temporary decision made by Lin Jue's whim. Lin Jue didn't think there was anything wrong with standing still, but when the opportunity appeared in front of him, Lin Jue naturally
Reluctant to sit back and lose. On rainy days, the muddy roads are slippery, and the opponent's reinforcements are slow. The first is that rainy days can limit the opponent's sight and hearing, making it easier to get close to the enemy camp. It is for these two reasons that Lin Jue feels
A capable person. The purpose is not to break out of the encirclement, but just to make a point and kill people. As for the Luoyan Army general's request to break out of the encirclement during the day, Lin Jue certainly would not agree. Breaking out of the encirclement? That is not the time yet.
The method of marching used by Lin Jue and the reason why he decided to attack the camp were actually thought of by Wanyan Aguda not long ago. From this we can see that the saying that heroes have similar views is not a lie. The way to solve the problem is the same.
The method is so simple and achieves the same goal by different routes. The key to the opponent's plan is so easy to identify.
To a certain extent, the two sides are actually fighting each other, but it depends on who can be one step faster, who can be more proactive and active. Wanyan Aguda did not expect Lin Jue to attack the camp beforehand. This is what he
There are no shortcomings. If it were another leader, it is very likely that he would have anticipated the opponent's actions and set up a net to wait. Obviously Wanyan Agu did not have that kind of wisdom.
