While Yu Xian was stirring up trouble in the camp, Wang Yun had already driven the Jing Zhao soldiers towards the main camp of the Xiliang Army.
In the past, Wang Yun, who was only known for his insignificant growth, finally stood on the battlefield of head-to-head confrontation for the first time.
Almost everyone is not optimistic about this operation.
the reason is simple.
The Jingzhao soldiers were on a death-defying mission. As surrendered soldiers, their loyalty was not very high. It was almost unrealistic to expect them to disregard life and death.
If there is a brave and unparalleled general who can break the defense line first, it may be able to boost their morale.
But Wang Yun, a skinny old man, couldn't sit still while riding a horse at a fast pace. If he went into battle to charge, he would probably fall down before he could catch the enemy.
Under the gaze of all the troops, Jing Zhaobing slowly began to move forward.
Dong Bai signaled to Li Su.
Li Su nodded and rode his horse back to the Luoyang County soldiers, ready for a relay charge at any time.
When Dong Bai turned back and looked at the battlefield, the slowly moving Jing Zhao soldiers had already raised their shields and began to accelerate slowly.
The Xiliang soldiers guarding the camp obviously had rich combat experience. After noticing the movement outside, the military commander guarding the gate began to direct the soldiers to take turns throwing torches outside.
These torches were not thrown far, but they were enough to illuminate the vicinity of the camp.
There were two other soldiers at the head of the battalion, holding bows in their hands, patiently waiting for the commander's orders.
It wasn't until the Jing Zhao soldiers were fully within range that the military officers responsible for guarding the camp gate signaled to each other and shouted in unison, "Get ready!"
Hundreds of bows were drawn together, aiming at the densely moving figures in the darkness outside the camp.
"put!"
These archers had just finished shooting the arrows in their hands. Before they heard the sound of arrows falling to the ground, they heard the military commanders urging them, "Get back, get back!"
The archers quickly moved out of the way, and another group of soldiers stepped forward.
These soldiers did not wait for orders from the military commanders and started shooting indiscriminately outside the camp.
Facing the enemy troops who had already formed a dense defensive formation, it was almost difficult for the bows in the hands of the soldiers to penetrate the shields and cause any damage.
According to past practice, the weakest position in the enemy's army is often the first to be confused and exposed under the rain of arrows.
Those soldiers who lack battlefield experience will subconsciously use a large shield to protect themselves first.
Once there is a loophole in the overall protective shield array, it will be easily torn apart by the subsequent offensive.
Dong Bai, Fan Chou and others looked worriedly at the advancing Jing Zhao soldiers.
Although these soldiers and horses that Huangfu Song has trained for a long time are known as elites, it is unknown how capable they can be when morale is low and people are panicked.
Faced with the intensive and saturated fire from the Xiliang soldiers, the left wing of the Jing Zhao soldiers was indeed in chaos.
The originally neat shield array turned and became messy like fish scales that had been scraped off.
With a burst of screams, an unknown number of people were shot to the ground in this wave of attacks.
"It's going to be bad!"
Dong Bai and others all had a bad premonition.
Once chaos spreads from the left wing to the center, Jing Zhaobing will pay a heavy price.
When Wang Yun saw this, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Get back, get back quickly!"
As soon as Wang Yun said this, Fan Chong, who was not far behind Jing Zhaobing, yelled angrily, "Damn it! This old guy has never led an army before. How can the army retreat when it's charging?"
Once the retreat turns into a rout and attacks Fan Chou's army behind them who are preparing for the main attack, tonight's raid may end in failure.
Cai Wenji, who was following Fan Chou's army together with Dong Bai, also said uneasily, "Can't General Mighty be...? Do you have any other ideas?"
When Dong Bai heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but after a moment's hesitation he ordered, "Captain Fan will lead his troops to the flanks first, so as not to be overthrown by the defeated troops."
Fan Chou had no choice but to curse and command his Flying Bear Army to move to the flank.
Fortunately, Wang Yun seemed to have some arrangements. Under the threat of arrows, these Jingzhao soldiers fled in embarrassment, but they stopped within a short distance of the shooting range.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Cai Yan suggested to Dong Bai in a low voice, "Should we replace him?"
Dong Bai replied, "Let's see again."
Soon, Wang Yun reorganized his troops, raised his hand to signal the Chinese army, and continued to drive his troops forward.
The Liangzhou soldiers quickly made adjustments according to the battlefield situation. When the archers fired this time, they shot more sharp arrows towards the left wing.
This time Jing Zhaobing's left wing became chaotic even faster than before.
Wang Yun, who was following at the end, could only yell again to ask the soldiers to step back and organize themselves.
Fan Cong frowned and murmured in a low voice, "If Guo Si and his cavalry rush out at this time, it will be very lively!"
Fortunately, because it was a night battle, the Liangzhou soldiers, who were unclear about the situation outside, chose a safe and conservative plan and still defended the camp.
This time, after Wang Yun organized his troops, he did not immediately drive them forward. Instead, he rode towards the Chinese army on horseback.
Dong Bai asked the Fei Xiong Army to move out of the way and let Wang Yun in.
When Wang Yun arrived, his face did not show the usual flattery. Instead, he said with a complex expression, "Weiyang Lord, whether you can succeed depends on the next step. The opportunity is fleeting. I hope Weiyang Lord and Fan Xiaowei will do well."
Prepare."
Dong Bai heard this and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, you can just go."
Wang Yun then rode back.
The reorganized Jing Zhao soldiers carried heavy wooden shields and slowly launched another attack.
This time, the already weak left wing received more attacks.
Wang Yun followed the army and worked hard to boost morale. However, the left wing was in chaos for a very short time and then collapsed!
Seeing this, the soldiers on the Xiliang soldiers' rampart cheered and rained more arrows on the left wing of the Jing Zhao soldiers.
However, this cheer seemed to be a signal. The soldiers on the right wing of the Jingzhao soldiers who were slowly moving forward with their heavy wooden shields suddenly dropped their wooden shields at the same time. With only a steel knife in their hands, they rushed towards the camp of the Xiliang soldiers.
go.
Throwing away the heavy wooden shields, the speed of these soldiers immediately increased a lot.
When the Xiliang soldiers who were responsible for detecting the enemy saw this, they quickly shouted and adjusted the direction of the archers' shooting.
The killing range of an ordinary infantry bow is about a hundred meters. This distance is not long or short, but it is still enough for the Xiliang soldiers to respond.
Wang Yun's lure on the left wing only bought a little time for the soldiers on the right wing.
Soon, a flurry of arrows shot from the barrier towards the Jing Zhao soldiers who had little protection.
As soon as those Jing Zhao soldiers came face to face, dozens of them screamed and were shot to the ground.
If these soldiers had not rushed in disorder, they would have caused greater casualties.
When Wang Yun saw this, he shouted hoarsely from behind, "You won't die if you get hit by an arrow! Don't be afraid, just charge at me!"
After hearing this, Jing Zhaobing, whose offensive was slightly hindered, actually plucked up the courage again, and his speed increased instead of decreasing.
Even the left wing, which suffered heavy damage, threw away its shield and rushed forward crazily.
