Ming Zuo

Chapter 937 Night Battle
The night is so heavy that you can't see your fingers.

On a real battlefield, lights are invisible in the dark.

Any light can be targeted.

Therefore, no matter looking at the Xia army's position on the mountain, or looking at the Qing army's position at the bottom of the mountain, it was all pitch-black.

As for the danger hidden in the darkness, you can only feel it when you are there.

Zhu Jin led the people carefully sticking to the ground, and crawled forward bit by bit.His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, watching for every sign of trouble.

This kind of crawling speed is very slow, and it can only advance more than [-] meters in half an hour.But in order not to alarm the enemy, he had to do so.

Zhu Jin stopped, and casually took off the crossbow on his back.

The crossbow arrow was cocked without any sound, and then shot towards the side in front of the shadow.

There was a rustle there, and then there was no sound.

Two scouts next to Zhu Jin touched it quietly, and saw that a sentry of the Qing army had been shot in the throat by a crossbow arrow and had already died.

However, even so, after the scout pulled out the crossbow bolt, a dagger still cut off the man's trachea, and then wrapped it in a thick cotton cloth.

In this way, the smell of blood will not dissipate for a while.

The scouts continued to grope forward.

The deployment of the Qing army's sentries is not ingenious, but the Xia army's scouts have already developed superb skills.

In such a dark night, their vision is far better than that of the Qing army.

One after another, the checkpoints were killed, and the road to the Qing army camp was opened.

Among the shadows, Zhu Jin could already vaguely see the appearance of the camp ahead, so Zhu Jin pulled the rope casually.

The people behind got the order, and two people got up immediately.

A man opened his cloak and blocked the Qing army's camp.The other person lit up the lighter and waved it left and right three times to the back.

After a while, a large black shadow came up along their path.

The mission of the scouts ends here, and the next step depends on the main force.

Lu Zhiqian personally led the team and walked in the front.

After touching the side of the trench, Xia Jun didn't stop.

A soldier stepped forward, and the two of them worked together to lift an iron frame.The folded iron shelf opened and immediately turned into a flat plate.

Put this thing across the trench, and people can pass through it smoothly.

This is the simple trestle bridge developed by the engineering department, which is especially suitable for trench assault operations.

After laying more than ten trestle bridges in a row, Xia Jun's soldiers jumped up and began to shuttle non-stop in the trench.

The trenches, which the Qing army regarded as a natural moat, seemed like a smooth road under the various novel tools of the Xia army.

They rushed to the opposite bank at the fastest speed, and the success of the raid was getting closer and closer.

"who?"

No one expected that at this critical moment, a shout suddenly came from the trench.

The soldiers of the Xia army who were running past had no time to ask for instructions, so they raised their hands and shot.There was a muffled groan in the trench, and then it fell silent.

The sound of gunfire pierced the night sky, breaking the calm in an instant.

The warning horn sounded quickly in the opposite camp, and even the trench under Xia Jun's feet was full of people's voices.

It turned out that the Qing army had arranged a considerable number of troops in the trenches, and it was these people who discovered the anomaly.

The action could no longer be concealed, and the Xia army immediately changed from a surprise attack to a strong attack.

The charging soldiers took off the grenades one after another and threw them into the trench.In such a cramped space, the killing effect of the grenade is very significant.

The soldiers of the Xia Army didn't care about the situation in the trench at all, and continued to run forward after finishing the attack.

"Signal for backup."

After the action was exposed, Lu Zhiqian ordered decisively.

The signal flares soared into the sky, and the fireworks were very conspicuous in the night, and could be seen in a radius of dozens of miles.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi on the top of the mountain quickly made arrangements.

"Artillery, rocket launcher, fire according to the established coordinates."

In order to cover the surprise attack, Xia Jun has made complete preparations.In an instant, the cannon roared, and the rockets rolled like a curtain, frantically rolling towards the camp at the foot of the mountain.

It was Jin Zidian's North Korean army that was deployed by Brother Hao on the front line.

They had just been warned, and many of them were still in a daze, and ran out of the camp before they even had time to put on their clothes.

The overwhelming shells smashed in, and the shock wave of the explosion caused the North Korean troops to lose their lives in a daze.

The flames quickly spread in the camp, illuminating the land as if it were daytime.

Under the attack of artillery fire, the North Korean army was completely in disarray.

Jin Zidian tried his best to gather the rout, but a shell exploded not far away, and the shock wave knocked him to the ground on the spot.

He got up unsteadily, only to feel his ears buzzing, and the world in front of him was upside down.

This time he couldn't care about anything else, he turned around and ran away.

Even the coach is like this, the soldiers below can be imagined.

The North Korean army completely lost its organizational system, and swarmed backwards.

Behind them is the camp of the Qing army.

The moment the gunshots sounded, the Qing army moved quickly.

After all, it is a strong army in the world, and its reaction speed is very fast.

The North Korean army had just collapsed, and the Qing army had already established a defense line in the camp it relied on.

Haug put on his armor and went up to the tower. When he saw the North Korean army swarming, he was not at all polite.

"Shoot arrows! Anyone who dares to attack the array will be killed without mercy!"

The North Korean army was in bad luck, not only being beaten by the Xia army, but also by the Qing army.

Under the rain of arrows all over the sky, countless people died unexpectedly.Still alive and finally stopped, momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Jin Zi ordered someone to raise a white flag, and approached cautiously.

"Prince Su, Jin Zidian is the last general! The Xia army is fierce, why don't you let us pass?"

Hauge had a murderous look on his face.

"The army is fighting, how can you allow you to rush forward? Immediately line up in front. If you dare to take a step back, you will be killed."

Jin Zidun was frightened, but seeing the appearance of the Qing army waiting in full force, he knew that Hauge would never be soft-hearted.

He had no choice but to run back and order the soldiers to stand in line.

These poor North Korean soldiers had all their armor gone, and many of them had no weapons in their hands, and even had bare feet.Just standing in the middle of the ice and snow, looking forward in fear.

That was the camp where they rested just now, and North Korean soldiers would still come out from time to time.Scattered, everyone was terrified, as if they had seen a devil.

Lu Zhiqian has already led his troops into the camp of the North Korean army and gained a lot.The only regret is that the Qing army was given time to prepare.

He only had two battalions of troops in his hands, and it was impossible to attack the Qing army's camp.

When he saw the unarmed North Korean army in formation in the field, he showed a cruel smile.

"Fire out all the mortar shells you brought."

Amidst the crisp sound of bang bang bang, mortar shells one after another were sent high into the sky, and then fell into the formation of the North Korean army.

The unarmed North Korean soldiers suffered heavy casualties on the spot, and they were immediately blown up again.

This time they didn't dare to run back, so they simply dispersed to both sides.

Seeing that his army was about to fall apart, Jin Zidian was bleeding from the heart.

In desperation, he had no choice but to attack back with the Musketeers he had managed to organize.

Seeing that the Koreans started to fight back, Lu Zhiqian didn't bother to fight, and immediately led his troops back the same way.
