subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 143 Night Attack on the Enemy Camp

After Zhu Wen received the news, he led Pang Shigu and others to rush to Bianliang. It was reported that the enemy had three armies, each with no less than 2 people. .Daliang City is Zhu Wen's lair, and all the firearms factories are located in Daliang City, especially the firecracker that Wu Biao is researching is almost finished, if it falls into the hands of Qin Zongquan, the people of the world will suffer.

So in any case, there is absolutely no room for loss in Daliang City. Fortunately, both Jingxiang and Xu Huaiyu are more prudent. If Zhang Cunjing were to stay behind, it would be hard to say.

Zhu Wen thinks so, but if he knows that Xu Huaiyu has left the city to rob the camp, I don't know if he will vomit blood in anger. 500 troops attacking the camp of [-] troops is simply child's play!Even Zhu Wen didn't have the courage to do this kind of thing, but Xu Huaiyu really did.

Xu Huaiyu was born a fierce general who was not afraid of death. In terms of the word "brave" alone, he was the number one in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, that is, the later Wang Yanzhang was able to compete with him.

Bozhou is also [-] miles away from Daliang. Zhu Wen was worried and led Pang Shigu's [-] cavalry on the road non-stop, hoping to reach Daliang before dawn.But the infantry was handed over to Shi Shucong to lead them to walk slowly behind.

But it is said that Xu Huaiyu left Wei's gate with five hundred elite soldiers and went straight to the enemy camp more than ten miles away.However, they all led their horses forward to prevent the enemy from overhearing the movement. When the distance was only more than one mile away, Xu Huaiyu ordered his men to mount their horses and rush forward. 500 people galloped at once, and the distance of more than one mile was quickly reached.

The first to bear the brunt was Lu Tang's camp. Lu Tang and the others attacked the city for two days, but no one in the city dared to go out to fight. Even if they sent people to yell at the city, no one dared to go out.Therefore, Lu Tang believed that there were not many people in the city, so when Lu Tang camped, he did not take many defensive measures at all, and he did not even dig trenches.

At this time, Xu Huaiyu's men and horses easily knocked open the wooden gate. The so-called camp was just surrounded by heavy carts, and some of them still had grain and other materials that had not been unloaded.Because they didn't expect the enemy to rob the camp, the soldiers on patrol outside the camp had already gone to find a place to sleep outside of the dozens of outposts.

Dozens of sentry sentries were also dealt with silently by Xu Huaiyu's men, and they broke into Lu Tang's camp so easily. After 500 men and horses rushed in, they set fires everywhere. Most of the flammable substances they brought were sulfur and other flammable substances. Coupled with the dry weather and dry things, more than a hundred flames were ignited almost instantly, and the fire spread rapidly.

Many of the 500 soldiers who were sleeping rushed out with flames, ran around, rushed out without armor and weapons, and were hacked and trampled by Xu Huaiyu's [-] troops, causing countless deaths and injuries.

The rest of the people scattered in a rush. Xu Huaiyu broke through one camp without any effort, and then rushed to the second camp. More than 2 people from Lu Tang set up seven camps, with more than 3000 people in each camp.

When Xu Huaiyu rushed into the second camp, the camp was in a mess, many soldiers had already heard the movement, and came out without even having time to put on their clothes.Before they could make defensive preparations, Xu Huaiyu's five hundred light cavalry rushed in like tigers into a flock of sheep, killing many of these Huaixi bandits who hadn't reacted yet, and took the opportunity to set fire to them , creating panic.

People in the second camp also began to flee.

Xu Huaiyu's cavalry arrived at the third camp. The troops here had already gathered and were forming formation. Without saying a word, Xu Huaiyu's troops threw dozens of thunderbolts over there, killing and wounding the newly assembled enemy troops. Has the enemy ever seen this style of play?Coupled with the fact that the flames of the two camps in front were connected together, they felt timid at first.With a shout, he ran back and retreated to the fourth camp. Xu Huaiyu ordered to attack with bows and arrows while chasing them. Those who killed these people dared not turn their heads. How did they know that the enemy army only had 5000 troops?These people have always been able to quickly solve the two camps, and they should have more than [-] troops.

Xu Huaiyu and others pursued closely, and quickly arrived at the fourth camp. The fourth camp was Lu Tang's base camp, with 5000 troops, plus the 1000 people who had withdrawn from the third camp, there were more than 6000 people. At this time, the defensive formation has been formed.Seeing Xu Huaiyu's men and horses rushing towards them, a round of arrows rained down on them first, Xu Huaiyu and others saw that the enemy had taken precautions, plus there were so many people in this camp, they knew that Lu Tang himself must be sitting in it.

The mission Xu Huaiyu came out this time was not a strong attack. Seeing that he had nowhere to attack, he turned around before reaching the enemy's range and did not enter the gate of the fourth battalion.But before leaving, he did not forget to shoot a round of rockets. Although Lu Tang's men were not shot, there were a lot of flames in the camp, which seemed to be enough to keep them busy for a while.

Looking at the flames of the three camps in front of him, Lu Tang was anxious, and gave an order: "Leave 1000 people to guard the camp, 500 people to fight the fire, and the rest of them will chase after me. I must wipe out this wave of people, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem." I just hate it."

After Xu Huaiyu's cavalry circled to the fifth camp in the dark, 3000 men and horses in the camp rushed out to fight. The two sides shot each other with bows and arrows on horseback. Many of them were coerced, and they didn't want to help them fight at all. How could such an army have much fighting power?After the two rounds of arrow rain, more than 300 people were knocked down. On the contrary, Xu Huaiyu's men did not have many arrows.

As soon as the two rounds of arrow rain passed, the men and horses on both sides were already very close. Those who rushed to the front first threw a row of shocking thunder, blowing up a large number of enemies, and the enemy was in chaos.Xu Huaiyu rushed into the enemy's formation first, and no one came close to him when he swung his two-foot long spear round.The others are also veterans who have fought for many years. When dealing with this group of mobs, they don't need to think about other things at all, just hack and kill them.

But after all, there is a huge disparity in troop strength, 500 men and more than 2000 men are fighting together. Although they are elite troops, they can't stand the situation of five men fighting one.Fortunately, they all brought the large-area destructive weapon Zhentianlei. This kind of thing is simply the first version of the grenade of the later generations. Although the power is not as powerful as the grenade of the later generation, it is already comparable to the power of the grenade in World War II.

Each of these people brought thirty Thunderbolts. Since they hadn't been used in the previous few battles, this time it was good luck for the people in the fifth camp. The airflow generated by the powerful explosion and the flying iron pieces quickly harvested life.In just a few minutes, this group of people desperately found that there were less than one thousand of the 3000 people left, and hurriedly withdrew.

At this time, Lu Tang's troops had already chased after him. Lu Tang himself was skilled in martial arts. He was also a brave general under Qin Zongquan's command. The hem formed a geese formation and advanced towards Xu Huaiyu's men and horses.

Xu Huaiyu looked around, and at this time only about 500 of the 50 troops had been lost, which made Xu Huaiyu very pleased.Beside him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier who was also covered in blood, and his handsome face was also stained with blood.It's just that his eyes are firm, and he is holding an ordinary spear tightly in his hand. It seems that he is just an ordinary soldier.Judging by his age, he is still a rookie.

However, Xu Huaiyu has been paying attention to him for a long time. I seem to have seen this young man in Bianliang before, but there is nothing special about him. But tonight, the young man followed Xu Huaiyu several times to kill him. Wherever the spear went, the enemy fell.

Xu Huaiyu nodded at him, and asked casually, "What's your name? How long have you been in the army?"

Seeing General Xu asking himself a question, the young man hurriedly said: "The humble job is called Wang Tan. He was originally a commoner in Chang'an City. My master's surname is Zhao. He was Zhao Zhang, the prime minister of the Great Qi in Chang'an City. Later, my master was unfortunate in the battle of Liang Tianpo." I was killed in battle, I have nothing to rely on, I have been living here for the past two years, and I joined the army only three months ago."

Xu Huaiyu heard that, no wonder his martial arts are good, he turned out to be a disciple of "Guanzhong scholar" Zhao Zhang, it seems that this kid will definitely become a fierce general in time, Xu Huaiyu thought.

The conversation between the two and Xu Huaiyu's thoughts were just a momentary matter, and no other in-depth understanding was made.Because this is an extraordinary period, and they are not allowed to chat at all, Lu Tang's men have already rushed over.

Xu Huaiyu and Wang Tan looked at each other, gave him a careful look, waved the spear in his hand, and rushed out first. When he was about to touch the enemy, the first thing that was still powerful was Zhen Tianlei. The enemy caused a great psychological shock.Of course, not a few people were killed in the explosion. Not one thunderbolt can kill seven or eight enemy troops, and the high-speed flying iron pieces can injure more people.

After two rounds of bombs were thrown, Xu Huaiyu and others turned around and ran away again. This was what Xu Huaiyu and others had discussed long ago.If you can't beat it, you will blow it up, and if you are done blowing it up, you will run away.

Seeing the battle ahead from a distance, Lu Tang was so angry that the roots of his teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do. Lu Tang's cavalry were all in the second and third battalions, and there were almost casualties in those two camps. They disappeared, and more than 1000 people fled back, but they didn't even take armor and weapons. How could they care about riding horses?

Although there are many men and horses under him now, most of them are infantry. There are only two hundred horses, and they are all frightened by the shocking thunder that took turns to bombard them just now.Lu Tang even wondered why the horses Xu Huaiyu and others rode were not afraid of the sound of explosions?But he didn't know that Xu Huaiyu and others had already stuffed the horse's ears with sound-proofing things in advance. Xu Huaiyu and his 500 horses could not hear anything at all. How could they be frightened?
