Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 682 Night Surprise Attack 2
In the era of cold weapons, wars are generally won by relying on absolute superiority of troops. After all, superiority in numbers can determine the direction of the battle. However, sometimes, having more people is not necessarily a good thing.

The Xianbei Army has more than [-] troops, but because these people have been stationed on the grassland for a long time and have always lived in that nomadic way, it is more accurate to say that these people should be grassland herdsmen, not soldiers.

Different from the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army, these soldiers of the Xianbei Army did not have a strong sense of discipline, and they did not belong to each other. After all, they all came from different tribes. Although they were all commanders of Ke Bineng in name, But secretly intrigue.

When Yan Liang commanded the army to launch a surprise attack, he was worried that his subordinates would hurt his own people, so he didn't plan to send many people to participate in the surprise attack from the beginning.

The mastiffs and birds of prey played a role in disturbing the enemy army, and the main task of the 5000 people after that was fire prevention. In this dark night, once the camp of the Xianbei army caught fire, Yan Liang believed that at least half of the Xianbei army would fall into chaos.

At the beginning, Yan Liang didn't have much expectation for his plan. He felt that it would be good if he could completely mess up the enemy camp before dawn, and Xu Rong and the others would naturally take care of things after dawn.

However, when he saw the chaotic state of the Xianbei army after being attacked and the fire, Yan Liang sent more men to rush into the enemy camp to expand the results of the battle. No, within an hour after dawn, Yan Liang had already dispatched more than 3 soldiers. People broke into the Xianbei army camp, and so far, they have occupied half of the Xianbei army camp.

"Wenheng's surprise attack this time is really hard to resist." Xu Rong looked at the Xianbei military camp in the distance and sighed: "Unexpectedly, the Lord's suggestion at the beginning made our army more powerful than tens of thousands of troops. Hehe, killing the enemy with a mastiff is something new."

"Report,,,,,," a cavalryman ran over to report: "General Qi, General Gan Ning under General Huang Zhong has led [-] cavalry into the enemy camp, and some enemy troops have begun to leave the camp. flight."

"Oh, has Xingba already made a move?" Xu Rong nodded and smiled, "Okay, then let's attack too. I don't believe they won't escape."

More than 20 troops from the northern border were divided into five troops. Except for the 2 people who stayed in the camp, all the rest were mobilized. Now, Yan Liang, Huang Zhong, and Xu Rong have launched a fierce attack on the Xianbei army camp. The last army is the most mobile unit, and at the same time monitors those Xianbei troops who have escaped from the camp.

After a night of chaos, the Xianbei army had lost its original formation. If it weren't for the fact that the camp was large enough and the fire was extinguished in time, these Xianbei troops would have been fleeing for their lives now.

"Attack quickly, fight steadily." Yan Liang commanded the army to go forward to seize the camp. At this time, the enemy must not be allowed to counterattack. After a busy night, as long as they continue to persevere, they will definitely be able to defeat the Xianbei army.

"Report, General, the enemy is trying to take back the camp that our army has seized." A school lieutenant rode over to report: "Our army has repelled two enemy attacks, but the enemy now seems to be We are organizing the Fire Bull Formation."

"I can still play this trick." Yan Liang sneered: "Stick to the ground, come and choose [-] mastiffs. If the enemy releases the cattle, immediately release the mastiffs to stop them."

The soldiers quickly carried out Yan Liang's order. Although Yan Liang lost some mastiffs in the battle last night, it is still very easy to pick out [-] dogs. If Yan Liang was not afraid of losing too much, he could have Send all the remaining mastiffs up.

"Hurry up, drive all the cattle here, hurry up." In the Xianbei army's position, a ten thousand commander is busy under the headquarters. Now for them, whether they can regain the camp determines their fate. If the army can get a foothold in their camp, then they will not be far from failure.

This fire bull array was actually a strategy left by the man in black beside Ke Bineng, in order to prevent the cavalry from the northern border army from attacking in large numbers. Gongsun Xu also used this trick on the Xianbei grassland back then. That time, the Xianbei army was defeated.

"Chong,,,,,,," the ten thousand commander only knows how to use cattle to attack the enemy's position, but he doesn't know the essence of the fire cattle formation. No matter how good the strategy is, it must be used at the right time. If the opponent already has an arrangement, it is generally best not to use it.

Before the Xianbei army's cattle could charge up, mastiffs appeared all around. These mastiffs had finished their rest, and when they saw the cattle on the battlefield, they all became excited.

The mastiffs that charged at the front were extremely ferocious. The herd of cattle hadn't gone crazy yet, but after seeing so many mastiffs, the herd of cattle also began to panic.No matter how crazy the cattle are, they are afraid of the world. There is always a difference between carnivores and herbivores.

When the running mad cows were knocked down, the speed of the cows behind them slowed down, but the speed of the mastiff's charge did not slow down.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Liang continued to order the frontline troops to move forward to expand their positions. Seeing that the Fire Bull Formation hadn't worked, the Xianbei Army immediately wanted to change their strategy, but there were not many opportunities left for them.

Gan Ning led [-] iron cavalry to appear on the right side of the battlefield. Although the Xianbei army had blocked Gan Ning, this was not good news for the Xianbei army. The Northern Xinjiang army had already attacked from the right side, which showed that the Xianbei army The camp is already full of flaws.

Sure enough, not long after, Huang Zhong commanded the army to kill in. At the same time, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the left side of the Xianbei army camp, and Xu Rong also commanded the army to kill.

"How could the Northern Xinjiang Army have so many troops, how could it be..."

The Xianbei army is now desperate, only a small half of the 10,000+ people are resisting the Northern Army, and the rest are thinking about how to escape.

The Northern Border Army's strategy of encircling three and missing one quickly took effect. When those Xianbei troops who wanted to escape saw that there were no enemy troops behind and that someone had successfully escaped, they couldn't wait any longer. Escape is the most important thing now. Others, they can't control it.

The flames of war on the grasslands in the east of Xianbei have already ignited, and on the other side, the main force of the Xianbei army is still confronting Gongsun Xu.The only thing Gongsun Xu can have an advantage at this time is his elite soldiers and excellent equipment.

But these can't make up for the disadvantage in numbers for the time being. The current strategy is to hold off the opponent first and wait for reinforcements. If they are eager to fight at this time, they will fall into the enemy's tricks.

"Report to the lord, our scouts received a letter from the Xiongnu Shanyu." In the big tent, Ke Bineng was discussing the military situation with his subordinates. At this time, a soldier walked in with a parchment and said: "Send the letter The people are dead, and the soldiers brought the letter back."

"Hurry up and let me see." Ke Bineng has nothing to do with the Northern Xinjiang Army now. After all, there are more than 20 people on Gongsun Xu's side. If he just sticks to the camp, the battle will not end in a while.

"So that's how it is." Ke Bi Neng nodded after reading the parchment and said, "Okay, this is a good opportunity, heh heh, did Gongsun Xu think I couldn't find him if he hid him deep in the grassland? Well, don't you want to follow me?" Shall I insist? Then I will send someone to arrest your wife and son first."

After reading the contents of the parchment, the man in black nodded and said: "It's not too late, let's do it now. Although our army has the upper hand, there are not many troops that can be mobilized. In my opinion, we will send an army of [-]." Attack quickly, and find the place where Gongsun Xu put his wife and children in the shortest possible time."

"This place is easy to find." Ke Bi Neng said with a sneer, "Did you forget the Jie cavalry that was wiped out by Gongsun Xu? Start looking for them from the place where they last appeared. I believe there will be news soon."

"If we can think of it, Gongsun Xu can definitely think of it." The man in black replied: "Presumably Gongsun Xu has sent elite troops to meet his wife and children. We must be ahead of Gongsun Xu."

"Mr. is right. If we can think of it, Gongsun Xu can definitely think of it too. Then I will send troops to support the Xiongnu Chanyu right now..."

It turned out that the Xiongnu Shanyu led the defeated generals and fled all the way to the north. Zhang Fei led his troops to pursue them for two days and then withdrew his troops to regain the Great Wall defense line.

Moreover, he has already ordered Zhao Yun to meet Zhen Dao. At this moment, Zhao Yun has already left the customs and is on his way to the Black Forest. According to Zhao Yun's ability and the combat effectiveness of the white-robed army, it should be no problem to handle this matter well. .

In the depths of the grassland, a group of cavalry with less than [-] people is galloping. The leader is Zhao Yun, a general from Northern Xinjiang. Haidongqing, and the fierce dog ghost mastiff domesticated by Gongsun Xu.

The ghost mastiff and the blue wolf grew up together. They are a male and a female, and they must have a certain relationship with each other. Moreover, the search ability of the mastiff must be higher than that of ordinary people. Zhao Yun is fully prepared this time.

"Since yesterday, our army has discovered traces of a large group of cavalry marching." Zhao Yun looked at the north and said: "That is to say, someone has already set off one step ahead of us.

It seems that the lord's predictions are correct, the Xianbei army still wants to use this trick, come in, send orders, the army will speed up, and the scouts will increase the scope of spying, so it is necessary to find the enemy's traces in the shortest possible time. "

"General, the ghost mastiff has been very irritable since yesterday, has it noticed something?" The deputy general who was in charge of the ghost mastiff asked: "This ghost mastiff has a keen sense of smell and super tracking ability. The general thinks that there are probably clues nearby. .”

"It shouldn't be far away." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "However, there are too many dangerous factors on the grassland, and the ghost mastiff may have discovered something else. Be sure to escape and find out the situation within a radius of twenty miles. We must not let our army suffered an accident."

After entering this grassland, the ghost mastiff really became irritable, and sometimes even roared into the sky, as if announcing that he was the master of this territory.

Zhao Yun focused his attention on finding the mistress and detecting the enemy's traces, but ignored the dangers of nature.A group of wolves active nearby has been detected by the ghost mastiff.
