Chapter 314: The Last Strike

The stars were shining brightly in the sky, insects were chirping in the grass, and in the barracks, there was loud snoring. The whole day of fear and fatigue caused the soldiers of Hejian County to fall asleep almost to death, even the soldiers who were ordered to patrol , and only supported the ground with the barrel of a gun, dragging one step at a time. The upper and lower eyelids are all fighting, and there is no energy left to guard the surroundings.

However, Chen Ying couldn't sleep, lying in the tent, her heart was in a state of turmoil, this time she came out and ruined a thousand cavalrymen of Hejian County, even if she was the confidant of the county guard, she would suffer if she went back. Serious responsibility. Maybe, this general will be at the end of his lunch. After returning, he has to prepare a generous gift, go find the concubine of Yan Junshou, blow the pillow well, and wait for the wind to pass, so that he can use it again Own.

He sighed, and wiped his face. This time, he had to bleed profusely. But as long as it can be used again, what was given away can be retrieved eventually.

There were countless thoughts in my heart, fatigue finally hit me relentlessly, my eyelids drooped, and I fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Ying woke up to the sound of sharp arrows whistling. When he rushed out of the tent in disheveled clothes, what he saw was fireworks all over the sky. Rockets with shrill howling sound struck from outside the camp. Tents were set on fire, and soldiers inside rushed out screaming, without even taking their weapons.

The flames completely covered the light of the stars and the moon. The enemy's horses galloped and howled, and their hooves landed on the ground, but they hardly made any sound. The incoming enemies wrapped their horses' hooves, and it was precisely because of this that they managed to hide it from Hejian. The eyes and ears of the soldiers, the attack of hundreds of cavalry, if it is not covered with horseshoes, it is impossible to be silent.

Watching the enemy slashing into the corner of the camp, the sharp saber gleamed under the fire, the blood spattered, and there was a pitiful howl.

Chen Ying's liver and gallbladder were torn, the enemy's retreat during the day was just a trick to get him, he was too careless.

"The whole army is assembled!" He roared hoarsely, seeing the soldiers running around like headless chickens all over the camp, he felt that his head was about to explode.

He Lanxiong rode his horse galloping in the other's camp, brandishing his scimitar, harvesting fresh lives. Beside him, He Lanyan's long whip rolled up one after another of torches, shaking his hands, and threw these torches on the ground. On the tents one by one, light them into a flaming torch.

Looking at the chaotic Hejian County camp, He Lanxiong was also a little dumbfounded. Gao Yuan seemed to have overestimated the opponent's ability, and the opponent seemed to have no defense against a possible night attack. Although He Lanxiong's men have gathered his younger sister The troops under his leadership were only five hundred cavalry, while the opponent had more than two thousand troops. He Lanxiong was naturally cautious after seeing the methods used by Gaoyuan's army when they camped, but after the initial temptation, He unexpectedly discovered that this camp was undefended.

"Brother, Gao Yuan told us not to go too deep, shall we retreat now?" He Lanyan shook her hands, threw several torches and went out to light a tent, looking at the chaotic camp, she asked loudly.

"It depends on the time, it depends on the situation. I'm afraid Gao Yuan didn't expect the other party to be like this. How can we let such a good opportunity go? Let's do a big job. After passing this village, there will be no such thing." After tonight, the other party will definitely strengthen their defenses, and there will be no such opportunity again." He Lanxiong laughed and said, "Besides, we are killing harder now, and it will be easier for Gaoyuan in the future."

"Brother is right, if we kill a few more, then Gao Yuan will face fewer enemies. There are too few people there." He Lanyan nodded in agreement.

He Lanxiong rolled his eyes at the girl, thinking that girls are indeed extroverted, Gao Yuan is a small number of people, but he can't hold back his fierce firepower, a hundred Fufeng cavalry, with a hundred repeating crossbows, it's really a good thing, before he went out, The Fufeng soldiers didn't have such a thing yet, and now they even made such a thing. During the day's battle, listening to the whistling sound of the endless crossbow, he couldn't help crying. Goosebumps all over.

Five hundred cavalrymen moved freely and horizontally in the camp. Except for the resistance towards the central army, the outer tents basically had no resistance. What was left to Chen Ying was a mess, countless dead bodies and blood-stained grass.

Chen Ying wants to cry but has no tears.

During the day, he lost a thousand cavalry, and at night, hundreds of infantry were killed on the spot in the enemy's attack.

The terrified Hejian soldiers only walked less than ten miles that day, because around them, there was another group of rangers. The number of these rangers was not many, at least there were only three or five people in a group, and there were many. There were only a dozen of them, but seeing the equestrian skills shown by the other party, the soldiers of Hejian County were all terrified.

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them, but hanging on to them like this was really unsettling. After enduring it for a long time, Chen Ying finally couldn't help but dispatched the last hundred cavalrymen on hand. Go out, there are dozens of his personal soldiers inside.

When these rangers saw the Hejian cavalry swarming, they immediately turned around and fled. The Hejian soldiers who were chasing after him seemed to have a short-circuited brain at this time, or they had accumulated too much energy because of two consecutive defeats. So angry and unwilling, they actually chased after him.

Then, they never came back.

Chen Ying originally hoped that the last cavalrymen at hand could get back some of the results of the battle, so that the morale that had fallen to the bottom could be revived a little bit, but after an hour, he didn't wait for his cavalrymen to return, but found that those ghosts were still lingering. The rangers appeared around him again, this time, there seemed to be fewer people, gathering together in twos and threes, staring at these dejected river soldiers from afar.

This result almost caused Chen Ying to collapse first. This group was not the group that attacked the camp last night. Their costumes and weapons were completely different. The enemies who appeared last night had uniform costumes and weapons. This group of people had all kinds of weapons, from the scimitars used by the Huns, to the sabers used by the Tsing Yi soldiers, to long spears, meteor hammers, and iron maces, there were almost no duplicates.

Consolidating his spirits, Chen Ying ordered to camp on the spot. This time, he didn't dare to be careless. Outside the camp, horse-repelling antlers were set up to guard against the cavalry, trenches were dug, obstacles were set up, and patrols were arranged. Chen Ying used all he could Everything that comes to mind is laid out here.

As night fell, those damned enemies still appeared. It was no longer the guys from the day, this time, it was replaced by the same batch from last night. But this time, they didn't hide their appearance again, and the thunderous hoofbeats , The sky-shattering shouts and roaring rockets hardly stopped overnight.

These cavalry made a fuss all night, and the Hejian County soldiers in the camp also stared wide-eyed and took precautions all night. Then, apart from shooting arrows, the enemy had no intention of attacking. When the morning star hung in the sky, finally The flags and drums died down, and the enemy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

With two dark circles under their eyes, the Hejian soldiers had breakfast, packed their tents, and prepared to go home again. However, around their team, there appeared those rogues again, just like vultures in the sky, Staring at their prey.

For two days and two nights in a row, the endurance of the soldiers of Hejian County finally reached its limit, and deserters began to appear in the ranks. Chen Ying's control over the troops was reduced to the lowest level, and he could hardly control the resentful soldiers under his command.

In one day, there were as many as a hundred fugitives. As for these fugitives, Chen Ying was no longer capable of chasing them, arresting them and punishing them. For several days and nights without closing their eyes, Chen Ying felt limp all over his body. Looking at the long-drawn-out team, his heart is ashamed, the opponent has made up his mind, he is very clear at this time, but there is nothing he can do.

At this moment, he is looking forward to the final moment, which may be a kind of relief.

Looking at the Hejian County soldiers who had almost collapsed from a distance, Bai Yucheng shook his head, "Gao Yuan overestimated these guys, there is no need to make such an effort, and now we launch an attack, and we can wipe them out easily."

He Lanxiong felt the same way, "I have already sent someone to inform Gao Yuan. When he arrives, we will launch a general attack. Although the opponent is exhausted, there are still more than a thousand people at any rate. The ants will kill the elephants. Wait for us to gather all the troops." Strength, let's make the last blow, Gao Yuan is right, every time we lose a soldier, it will make people feel distressed."

Gao Yuan, who received the letter from He Lanxiong, shook his head with a wry smile. He spent a lot of effort to set up the trap, but suddenly found that the prey he was going to catch had no fighting power before stepping into the final trap. It seems that I still overestimated the opponent's strength. Originally, the soldiers of Hejian County were not bad in combat power because they bordered the Huns. Thinking about it, the soldiers of Liaoxi Army were like this. Compared with the soldiers of other counties in Dayan, their combat effectiveness was much higher One grade. Zhang Shouyue's troops can compare with Mei Dayan's regular troops, and his central army's combat effectiveness exceeds Yan's standing army. It is precisely because of such a troop that Zhang Shouyue Stand firm.

When the sun was about to set, Bai Yucheng took the lead in launching the attack. Under his command, there were a lot of people using heavy weapons, which were just used to break through the infantry's defensive lineup.

He Lanxiong followed closely behind Bai Yucheng and launched an attack. When they rushed the Hejian County soldiers to pieces and cut them into several sections, Gao Yuan led the Fufeng cavalry to rush over. The three parties worked together, and there was no suspense in the battle.

The setting sun in the sky is like blood, reflecting the broken flag of Hejian County soldiers planted on the ground, but around the flag, there is no more Hejian County soldier. (To be continued.
