After the huge sound of breaking the gong formation sounded, Li Tong and Zang Ba also began to command their soldiers to fire a large number of rockets into the camp.
The main target of their archery was to target several horse gathering places in Li Guo's camp that had already been explored.
The stables and horse quarters were filled with fodder used by the horses, which was easily ignited. Those rockets fell into it, and soon the fire in the entire camp was out of control, and the flames filled the dark night sky with red light.
The sound of broken gongs outside the camp was like an overwhelming attack, coupled with the burning flames, the tired patrol camps of the Xiliang Army suddenly became a commotion. They ran back and forth, shouting loudly at each camp: "
Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
However, under the roar of these three thousand gongs and the frightened war horses, the sounds of these patrolling camps were like duckweed in the wind, unable to stir up any waves. After a short time, they were submerged in the sea of people and turned into
There are scattered notes, which serve no warning purpose.
However, there is no need to use these patrol warnings in the camp at this moment. The huge sound of breaking gongs that can penetrate the eardrums is extremely powerful in this quiet night, and has long awakened those sleeping Xiliang soldiers.
, the bursts of sound made their chests feel tight, and their whole stomachs were filled with overwhelming discomfort.
In such a tense situation, fierce internal strife broke out among the fighting soldiers.
Li Jue was awakened by the loud noise. He reluctantly put on his armor and rushed out of his tent in a drunken state.
What appeared in front of him was such a chaotic barracks.
Li Jue was swaying drunkenly, but he understood something in his heart, and a wave of evil fire surged up.
Guo Bang also came out, but he was also in a state of drunkenness and dreaming. He moved staggeringly while shouting loudly, "Don't mess up! Stay calm! Anyone who dares to panic... hiccup... kill
No mercy!"
However, the voices of Li and Guo could not travel very far in such a noisy environment and had no soothing effect.
There was still a panic in the camp, and the Xiliang soldiers who were wearing clothes, or without clothes, or naked were still running around like crazy.
Although Li Jue was drunk at the moment, he was still furious when he saw this situation. He looked at the fire in the direction of the back village and frowned while belching wine.
It happened that several soldiers from Xiliang came to guard his side. Li Jue shouted angrily, "What are you doing to protect me? If you don't go and see who disturbed our camp, you are simply asking for death!"
"
However, even at such a close distance, the soldiers seemed unable to hear clearly what Li Jue said because of the loud noise.
At this moment, not only the sound of breaking gongs and setting fires by Zhao Yun and others had an impact on the Xiliang army, but the soldiers in their camp were also in a chaotic and noisy mess.
Li Jue angrily pushed the guard away and said angrily: "Why are you guys gathered around me, why don't you go put out the fire quickly..."
Before he could finish his words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head.
Li Jue's drunken mind suddenly understood the source of the panic in the camp.
By the way, it’s a horse! It’s a war horse!
In the past, the Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command, plus the guard camps of the northern and southern armies of the capital, were most indispensable for war horses. After Dong Zhuo's death, most of the war horses fell into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si.
There are nearly ten thousand of these war horses!
The Xiliang cavalry wanted to control these horses steadily on the battlefield. In addition to fighting in battle, they also had to maintain a high level of intimacy.
Therefore, when the Xiliang army under Li Guo set up camp, they would set up their own separate horse pens in almost every camp in the camp.
As soon as the noise in the camp at the rear rang out, and with the rocket's burning assist, the horses in the separate stables naturally started to commotion.
Although horses have poor vision at night, their hearing is extremely keen and their sense of smell is much stronger than that of humans.
With the impact of the gong-like sound waves and the stimulation of the smoke and fire, many war horses couldn't bear it anymore and screamed and struggled desperately.
The panic of the war horses was quickly conveyed in such neighing and whining, and all the war horses were restless, jostling, and pushing in the horse circle.
The structure of a horse's eyes determines that it has a poor sense of the distance behind it. Once a war horse is squeezed back in the chaos and bumps into other horses, these war horses will kick back almost subconsciously.
As the chaos intensified, the fragile horse pen finally could no longer restrain the horses.
The horses, driven crazy by the loud noise, immediately rushed out in a gallop.
After entering the strong camp, the most terrifying thing happened.
The layers of stables behind the stronghold used its unique terrain to perfectly suppress the emotional expression of the war horses.
But the war horse's fear still needs an outlet.
Almost naturally, these war horses neighed and rushed toward the widest place... which was the base camp of the Xiliang Army.
Seeing the war horses running around in groups in panic, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army couldn't care less about the panic.
They covered their ears hard to resist the disturbing demonic sound, while trying to communicate with the animals and at the same time trying to go to the stables to control their horses.
Unfortunately, beasts will remain beasts.
People can regain their sanity in panic, but war horses cannot.
This has become the most helpless point in this military camp right now.
The Xiliang soldiers under Li Guo faced the horses that were trampling in a frenzy. Although they rushed forward to stop them, they could not stop them no matter what.
They could only watch the tide of horses rushing like a flash flood, and helplessly comment on the despair.
Large pieces of the camp were trampled, and countless bonfires were trampled and flew away, thus igniting many tents. The fire spread even more, and chaos and crying mixed with the sound of breaking gongs spread into the night sky.
Unable to control their horses, the Xiliang army could only run around. Many soldiers were trampled into mud because of these crazy beasts.
Li Jue and Guo Bang were also panicking now. Under the protection of their guards, they turned around and ran away from the camp.
In order to speed up and prevent these crazy beasts from catching up with them, the strategies adopted by Li and Guo were also shocking.
They threw away all the armor on their bodies and wore only their single clothes, running like crazy.
They have also sobered up from wine and lost their souls.
The same was true for the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. Faced with these beasts running around, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were desperate and rushed towards the city of Zhongmou County.
They were under the suspension bridge, crying for their fathers and mothers, and howling towards the top of the city, asking the people in the city to quickly lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate.
With such a big commotion tonight, everyone in the city has long been awake. The magistrate of Zhongmu County led a group of county soldiers to the top of the city and carefully looked at the situation below the city.
The burning tents under the city, the crazy group of war horses, and the Xiliang soldiers walking around naked, made the magistrate of Zhongmou County very nervous and didn't know what to do!
The magistrate of Zhongmu County didn't know much. He didn't know which one was more intense, the current horrific situation or the battle of Guandu?
Maybe they are similar?
Seeing countless Xiliang troops howling under the city, asking them to open the city gate, the soldiers from Zhongmou County asked the county magistrate: "Your Majesty, the Xiliang army is really cornered. Let's open the city gate."
Or not open the city gate?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he trembled and said: "Open what! You are crazy! Although these Xiliang troops have defected to Sikong, their temperaments are like tigers and wolves. You haven't seen them acting during the day. How are they different from barbarians? Absolutely not
open!"
"After that, Sikong Ruo was blamed..."
The magistrate of Zhongmu County chopped off his feet and said: "Stupid! Isn't there a moat under this city? Those Xiliang troops are just trying to avoid horses at best... You should shout to them quickly and ask them to jump into the moat to take refuge!"
