Tao Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, did not rush out immediately when the Zuoqian camp was in chaos.
But waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Sure enough, not long after, there was the sound of horse hooves in the left front camp, and a large number of cavalry headed towards the right camp. And Tao Jin also seized this opportunity.
In the night, the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" can be heard endlessly.
The crossbows were fired continuously, and Zuo Camp, which had just fallen into tranquility, became chaotic again.
Tao Jin, holding a horse in hand, led the troops into the left front camp of Mohe's army.
"Brothers, destroy the slings first! Kill them later! Let's light fires separately and disperse!"
A moment later, a campfire started on the left front, and the fire was so intense that it turned half of the sky red.
------------------
"Report! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
"What happened again?!" Before Nur Haqia could recover from the anger of the previous news about being attacked at night, the second bad news came one after another.
"Your Majesty, our army's left front camp has also been attacked by a large number of enemies. Now the enemy is setting fire here. The tents are already burning. Many ladder trucks and catapults have also been destroyed by the Zhou army. Please also send troops, Your Majesty. support!"
Nur Haqi never expected that he had just used a traitor trick to trick the Zhou army tonight, and that the Zhou army would immediately return the favor and actually attack the camp at night when the strength of the two sides was so disparate.
It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, but the Zhou army commander in Jinyang City is a gentleman and cannot wait until tomorrow night for revenge.
Nur Haqia suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with an ugly expression.
"How many enemies are there?!"
The Mohe soldier who reported the news hesitated for a moment, then thought of Hauge's previous instructions when asking for help, and immediately said, "The sky is dark, and our army doesn't know. All we know is that wherever we look, they are all enemy torches!"
This is art!
Exaggerating the enemy's strength will not only get more reinforcements, but also gain greater credit after repelling the enemy.
Haug's personal soldiers followed Haug and knew this well.
Nur Haqia's face became more relaxed after hearing this. Although night attack is a good strategy, it also depends on how it is used.
The current Mohe army is not afraid of losses at all, but is afraid that the Zhou army in Jinyang City will defend the city.
Once the city is defended, even a sneak attack will play into Nur Haq's hands.
As long as they leave the city to fight in the field, Mohe's army is 100% sure.
"Send an order to Zhenghuang Banner to mobilize 20,000 cavalry troops to support Hauge. We must severely inflict heavy damage on the Zhou army that attacks tonight!"
"yes!"
Nur Haqia looked in the direction of Jinyang City and murmured to himself, "Yu Yanyi, I want you to steal the chicken but lose the rice today!"
---------------
In the left front camp, the army led by Tao Jin had already rushed into the location of the equipment.
But this place is not without some defenses. Hauge, the commander of the left front camp, even stationed 5,000 elite soldiers here to protect the equipment while supporting the right camp.
But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired.
"Rocket launch!"
Tao Jin held his horse high and led two hundred soldiers and horses into the enemy camp first.
At this moment, the enemy was still half asleep and half awake. At the beginning, they were killed by Tao Jin's soldiers and horses.
However, Hauge, who has been fighting all year round, reacted in time and immediately began to mobilize troops and horses to organize a counterattack.
When Tao Jin's horse was harvesting the lives of Mohe soldiers, he was blocked by a large iron sword.
"Nanbarbarian Zhou army, look at the sword!"
Hauge realized that Tao Jin's horse pole was made of wood, and he immediately struck the head with his sword, intending to cut off Tao Jin and his body with the weight and strength of his iron sword.
Tao Jin greeted Hao Ge as he expected. Everything was just as Hao Ge expected. The next moment was the death of this general. Just when Hao Ge wanted to laugh loudly, there was a sound that was almost like a clash of gold and iron. The sound made him laugh.
Rather than being cut in two as Haug imagined, the wooden horse pole easily withstood Hauge's iron sword without even leaving any obvious marks on the pole.
Hauge only knew that the horse pole was made of wood, but he didn't know that it was tougher than an ordinary iron gun.
Generally, cypress wood is used as a pole, which is soaked in oil and dried, and then glued with fish foam glue to form a pole. Then wrap the hemp rope horizontally and insert it into the pole to apply force laterally. Then apply raw lacquer, wrap it in grass cloth, and wrap it layer by layer until it is chopped with a knife and the stem makes a metallic sound but does not crack. This is considered qualified. Then remove the head and tail and shorten it to about six feet. A fine steel head is installed in the front, and a red copper head is installed in the back. A high-quality horse head is initially formed.
The horse stick in Tao Jin's palm is even more exquisite. It is made of iron jade cusp wood as a rod, glued with deep-sea giant shark's foam, and the oil used for soaking it is high-quality copper oil.
The production cost of such a horse can be equivalent to a hundred iron guns, and it is still expensive but not marketable.
Tao Jin had been a general for generations before he could afford such a weapon.
The fierce generals of the former Tang Dynasty, Qin Yujing, Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng Zhijie, were all good at using guns.
Moreover, these three were not from humble backgrounds. Qin Yujing's father served as a recorder for the King of Xianyang in the Northern Qi Dynasty and joined the army; Yuchi Jingde's father, Yuchi Jia, was the former Sui Dynasty general Yitong, and his ancestor Yuchi Mengdu was the governor of Jizhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty; Cheng Zhijie's father, Cheng Lou, was Jeju Dazhongzheng, whose ancestor was Cheng Zhe, was the Sima of Jinzhou in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
To sum up, Ma Shan is not a weapon that poor people can afford. The investment and reward are not directly proportional, and few people in the Zhou army use it.
The Mohe tribe general who came from Hauge, a bitter and cold place, even less knew about it.
Just when Hauge was shocked by the tenacity of the stick, Tao Jin seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to counterattack.
Ma Shan's swings were such that Hauge was only able to parry in a short time.
While Hauge and Tao Jin were fighting, the rest of the Zhou army began to burn the equipment of the Mohe army.
Three hundred soldiers formed a tough line of defense at the gate of the equipment camp to buy time for the soldiers who set fire in the equipment camp.
"Burn these catapults first! Then burn the ladder vehicles and siege vehicles. These are the greatest threats to Jinyang City!" the cavalry captain of the Shenwu Army ordered as he lit the fire.
"Brothers on the periphery, please hold on a little longer. When we finish burning these instruments, we will come back to kill the enemy with you!"
The divine warrior soldiers who were around the catapult were responsible for lighting the catapult. They sprinkled all the fire oil stored by the surrounding Mohe tribe to light the catapult on the catapult, and each one hurriedly threw their torches at the catapult.
One of the Shenwu soldiers accidentally spilled fire oil all over himself, but he still stepped forward regardless and lit the sling.
The catapult ignited a raging fire, but he himself was also ignited by the fire and turned into a burning man, laughing with tears, and finally crying and screaming.
The captain of his team couldn't bear the pain of his brother being burned alive, so he used the crossbow in his hand to end his life tremblingly.
The eyes of the Shenwu soldier who was slowly falling down after an arrow pierced his throat were full of gratitude and guilt.
Although this arrow freed him and he did not have to endure the pain of burning fire, this knife would also make his team members extremely painful, because he ended his brother's life with his own hands.
This is what no soldier wants to do.
The friendship between brothers is sometimes better than the love between brothers.
The situation on the battlefield always leaves people with no time to grieve. The team leader did not stop and led his men to attack the remaining slings and ignite the remaining slings one by one.
The Shenwu cavalry guarding the periphery also suffered heavy losses. Without their impact, the cavalry had to face the attack of a large number of infantry without any advantage.
If it were to change a partial division or prepare the army, it would be on the verge of collapse at this time, but this is the Shenwu Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most elite troops in the southern border.
The soldiers of the Shenwu Cavalry guarding the outside were stunned and refused to take a step back. They fell down one by one, including men and horses, but new cavalry and horses would immediately fill the gaps and loopholes.
The Shenwu cavalry used their flesh and blood to build an iron-blooded city wall for the robes that were lit inside. Our army will not stop and the city wall will not collapse.
During the battle, a spear suddenly stabbed a Shenwu cavalry from an angle. Just as the Shenwu cavalry was about to be hit by the spear, a Yanling knife came out from the side, blocked the spear, and killed the Jurchen with a backhand knife. Soldiers.
"The fire is finished! I'm here to die with you! I can't be behind you, Wang Wufeng, when it comes to killing enemies!"
The one who spoke was the captain who lit the fire just now. The spear in his hand remained motionless. After the initial panic, Hauge has gradually recovered his condition.
His energy and strength are better than Tao Jin's. Before, he was just shocked by Ma Shan's unique skills, which prevented him from exerting his best strength.
Now that he had adapted to Ma Shan's techniques, he began to fight back.
The number of soldiers of the Shenwu Army became smaller and smaller, and they were gradually surrounded by the sea of people from the Mohe Army.
Seven in and seven out are not just four words. Tao Jin is a good partial general, but he does not have such courage. Perhaps when he chose to divide his troops to attract the enemy, he already knew his fate.
Although this will result in the loss of a large number of soldiers and horses, it can completely destroy the catapult that poses the greatest threat to the Zhou army.
A quarter of an hour later, Tao Jin was the only one left in the encirclement of the Mohe army.
Tao Jin was hit by seven arrows and suffered multiple wounds. His vision was slightly blurred, and he could only hold the horse in his hand tightly with willpower.
Hauge looked at the dying Tao Jin, laughed loudly, suddenly clapped his horse forward, and swung his iron sword.
---------------
Outside the Dong'an Gate of Jinyang City, Zhao Tianlin held a large sword of green and red in his right hand, and kept stroking his long beard with his left hand. Zhao Tianlin is already over eighty years old this year, and his beard and hair are all white.
Siluke
The fire in Zuoqian camp has been burning for a while, but there is still no trace of Tao Jin's troops. Just when Zhao Tianlin was anxious, Guo Jing's troops, who were responsible for luring the enemy, took the lead to return.
Guo Jing once served as the general marshal of Da Qian's expedition to the west, and he was very proficient in using the Qian army's cavalry and shooting methods to lure the enemy.
One of the magic weapons used by Daqian Zongheng's invincible opponents in the past was the method of mounted archery - Mangu'ai, in which the mounted archer retreats while firing arrows at the enemy.
Although the light cavalry can chase down the large archers with speed, they cannot stand up to the arrows of the archers.
Although the heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor, its speed and endurance cannot compare with the bow cavalry. Although the arrows cannot kill the heavy cavalry as easily as the light cavalry, the arrows can also penetrate the weaknesses of the heavy armor. , over time, the heavy cavalry will be exhausted and eventually shot.
Turtle worship just now experienced this feeling.
Of course, this method of warfare is also flawed. It can only be used in small-scale harassment battles, and it can only be used on vast plains, and the opponent cannot have weapons with a range far beyond our own.
Just at these three points, Guo Jing's two thousand Qingqi took up all of them!
Zhao Tianlin was also overjoyed to see Guo Jing back. Based on Zhao Tianlin's many years of experience on the battlefield, he could tell at a glance that Guo Jing's men suffered minimal losses.
"Old General Zhao! How are you? Have General Tao's troops come back?"
When Guo Jing met Zhao Tianlin, the first question he asked was about Tao Jinbu.
But Zhao Tianlin shook his head and said, "That brat Tao Jin hasn't come back yet, so nothing will happen to him!"
The biggest threat to this night attack was Guo Jing's decoy unit. Once surrounded by Mohe's army, it would be difficult. However, Tao Jin's unit evacuated in time after lighting the fire, so there should be no danger.
Neither of them thought that Tao Jin would choose to set the entire equipment camp on fire and use his own life to delay the Mohe army's attack on the city.
While the two of them were waiting, the sound of countless horse hooves sounded in the distance.
"General, save me!"
A small group of Zhou army cavalry were running towards them at great speed, followed by a large number of Mohe cavalry holding torches in pursuit.
When Guo Jing saw this situation, he immediately led his cavalry and galloped forward, firing a shower of arrows.
Guo Jing fired thirteen arrows in a row, and the enemy was struck down by the arrows. It can be said that he hit every target.
The bed crossbows on top of the city also began to fire giant crossbow arrows to stop the enemy.
After being attacked by a crossbow arrow, Hauge, the leader, also stopped the attack.
The people of Zhou Dynasty are full of tricks, and the sky is still dark at this moment. If they are ambushed again, it will be difficult to explain to Nur Haqi.
The small group of Zhou army cavalry was rescued by Guo Jing and others. When everyone looked, there were only a few dozen cavalry left.
The leading captain held a headless corpse in his hands. Judging from the armor he wore, there was no doubt that it was Tao Jin, the lieutenant general of the Royal Forest Army at that time.
"General Guo, General Zhao, General Tao..."
Speaking of this, the captain was already in tears.
Tao Jin was decapitated with a knife and his head was missing. They fought hard to get out Tao Jin's body. Only thirty-nine people were left, and everyone was still injured.
Just when Guo Jing and Zhao Tianlin were dejected, the enemy general on the opposite side suddenly raised a horse pole. It was Tao Jin's belongings, and Tao Jin's head was still on it.
"Hahaha! You can see Zhou Nanman on the opposite side! This is what will happen to you for resisting Dajin. When Jinyang City is defeated, I will chop off your heads one by one!"
As he spoke, Hauge waved his hand, and the cavalry under his command actually threw out hundreds of heads. They were the cavalry under Tao Jin's command.
Then Hauge also threw Tao Jin's head on the ground and let it roll, while he laughed with his soldiers.
Zhao Tianlin looked at this scene with his hair and beard bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"General Soldier Guo, do you dare to help me kill this enemy general!?"
Guo Jing was also filled with anger at this moment, but his duty as a general kept him suppressing his anger.
"Old General Zhao, what do you want?!"
Tao Jin's death has already dealt a blow to the morale of the Zhou army. If something happens to Zhao Tianlin again, the morale that Yu Yanyi has finally built up will plummet again.
Zhao Tianlin knew the worry in Guo Jing's heart, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, I'm not an old fool yet, and I can still lift this eighty-one-pound Spring and Autumn Sword. Mr. Guo only needs to use his cavalry shooting to disrupt the enemy's formation, and the rest will be done." Just leave it to me."
Looking at the veteran general's determined look, Guo Jing nodded, "Please be careful, veteran general!"
After saying this, Guo Jing immediately led his cavalry out again and shot two thousand crossbow arrows towards Mohe's front army.
Suddenly the front army was in chaos.
Hauge immediately raised Tao Jin's horse and shouted loudly, "Stabilize your position and prepare to counterattack!"
The moment Mohe's front army was in chaos, Zhao Tianlin's sword energy locked onto Hauge.
The whole person's momentum also changed. As soon as he pinched the horse's belly, the war horse immediately began to accelerate. It was like a blue and red sword in his hand, dragging the ground. It wiped out sparks with the stones on the ground, and went straight to the Mohe army. Go away from Hauge.
The original Zhao Tianlin had already declined due to his age, energy and blood, and his combat power had long declined. But at this moment, the murderous aura in him and the sword on the Chunqiu sword seemed to have restored him to the time when he was young and passionate.
Running along the way, Zhao Tianlin's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed. A shadow of a green robe with a long beard and a big sword gathered behind him, but it also disappeared in a flash.
"Zheng!" There was a sound of swords, and the figure turned into a ball of cyan swords, wrapping Zhao Tianlin and his horse.
The cavalry on the left and right wings of the Mohe Army discovered this veteran who was fighting alone and wanted to step forward to stop him. However, Zhao Tianlin was surrounded by a group of powerful blue swords, and ordinary soldiers could not get close at all. All I could see was that the aura of Zhao Tianlin in Tsing Yi was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, no one could even come within three feet of Zhao Tianlin in Tsing Yi. I could only watch helplessly as he dragged his sword towards the Chinese army.
Hauge, who was originally commanding his troops, also felt that layers of murderous intent were locked onto him. The horse under his crotch was also frightened by the murderous intent and couldn't help but take three steps back.
Hauge looked at Zhao Tianlin who had almost turned into a green shadow, grabbed the horse in his hand and pointed it at Zhao Tianlin:
"Who is coming?!"
But what answered him was not a human voice but a crisp sound of a knife.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was clearly audible above the noise of thousands of troops. It was as sudden as thunder, and it seemed to step on Hauge's heart every time.
The blue-red Spring and Autumn Sword that Zhao Tianlin mopped on the ground wiped out countless sparks due to his rapid running, and the green and red sword was wrapped in flames.
Guo Jing looked at Zhao Tianlin, who was riding alone towards the enemy formation at this moment, and suddenly felt the energy of heaven and earth continuously gathering, just like when he broke through the Dongxuan Realm on Peach Blossom Island.
In an instant, Qingying had broken through the Mohe Cavalry and rushed in front of Hauge.
Zhao Tianlin's eyes that seemed slightly closed suddenly opened, as bright as stars.
The cyan figure reappeared behind Zhao Tianlin again, clearer than before. He was wearing a green robe and a long beard, holding a broadsword, and his face was as heavy as a jujube.
Hauge was shrouded in Zhao Tianlin's eyes, and he felt that any movement he made could not escape his eyes.
For a moment, he was so shocked by Zhao Tianlin's momentum that he even forgot what he was doing.
Everyone present had never thought that there was such a swift and terrifying sword technique in this world. As powerful as thunder, as fast as lightning.
Wherever everyone's eyes could see, the only thing left was the stunning style of the sword.
"kill!"
A gust of wind blew by, and the white beard under Zhao Tianlin's chin fluttered in the wind, and he was as energetic as the god Xianghan descended to earth.
Following Zhao Tianlin's killing sound, the Spring and Autumn Broadsword in his hand rose up. The green blade of his body converged on the blade and turned into a green dragon, soaring from the sparks dragged out along the way.
The sky is as blue as water, and the flying dragons soar.
Hauge subconsciously raised the horse in his hand to parry, trying to block Qing Yi Zhao Tianlin's slash.
However, although Tao Jin's Ma Shu is tough, he can't stand up to this amazing sword.
Zhao Tianlin's Chunqiu sword passed through his body without any hindrance.
The two passed by on the wrong horse.
Zhao Tianlin in Tsing Yi put away his sword and twirled his beard. With a "bang" sound, Hauge, who was nearly nine feet tall, was struck with a sword like a divine pen. He and his horse were cut in half, and the horse in his hand was also cut into two pieces.
Haug, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner under Nurha Chi, dies!
No one in the army present, including Guo Jing, saw clearly how Zhao Tianlin used the sword.
I saw a green dragon passing by and ascending to the sky, and then Hauge was cut into two halves, both man and horse.
This was the majesty of Zhao Tianlin, the first general under the four founding kings who traveled across the northern border!
As soon as the green dragon comes out, the sword cuts the spring and autumn. In front of the thousands of troops, the enemy generals are beheaded.
