Ning Hu and the 300 Tianji Camp guards were dormant in a depression less than a hundred steps away from the camp. They were all lying on the ground, using the darkness as cover, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
The camp was too close to the front line, and the battle between the Beixi County defenders and Chen Si became increasingly fierce. In order to prevent enemy infiltration, the Beidi camp was extremely tightly defended. In addition to the soldiers strictly performing patrol and guard duties, there were also specialized The generals must patrol around every hour to prevent anyone from sneaking around.
Ning Hu couldn't find any gaps at all, and the cavalry was marching too fast. If the fighting on the front line subsided, they would immediately be transferred back to the camp to assist in the defense.
Once the cavalry comes back, it will be even more difficult to attack the camp.
You only get one chance, never give up!
Ning Hu made a desperate move and told him to go ahead and prepare for a strong attack!
The three hundred Tianji camp guards were divided into two teams. Ning Hu led 200 people, and the other 100 people tried to find a way to get back to the rear of the camp to form a pincer attack with Ning Hu.
After waiting for half an hour, Ning Hu no longer hesitated.
"kill!"
With an order, two hundred Tianji Camp guards rushed towards the camp at the same time. Less than fifty steps away from the camp, the patrolling soldiers discovered the Tianji Camp guards. They were about to report the news, but were killed by an arrow shot from the sky.
At the same time, the other soldiers around him were inevitably affected by the archery skills honed by the Tianji Battalion guards' intensive training.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight patrol soldiers were shot and killed, but the scream of one of them still attracted the attention of the other soldiers, and the rapid sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the camp.
The soldiers who were sleeping were awakened and rushed out of the camp in a hurry, only to find that the guards from the Tianji Camp had already entered the camp.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Don't panic, quickly stabilize your position and go up to fight!"
A goalkeeper rushed over, commanding the chaotic soldiers to fight against the enemy.
There were four thousand infantry stationed in the camp, and the Liang army was blocked from the border. It was impossible to lead a large group of troops to the rear. It was expected that the opponent would be a small force.
The gatekeeper slashed a fleeing soldier and shouted at the other panic-looking soldiers: "Those who are timid will die!"
At this moment, a soldier ran from the direction of the self-camping gate, threw himself at the goalkeeper's feet, and wailed in fear: "General, the enemy's attack is fierce, it is difficult for us to resist!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper raised his sword and killed the soldiers in front of him who disturbed the morale of the army. He shouted angrily: "Those who disturb the morale of the army will die! Get the hell at me!"
The reason why the goalkeeper was so angry was because there was a large amount of food and grass stored in the camp. If the food and grass were lost, the frontline army would definitely not be able to support the Liang defense line until it broke through as planned. By that time, there will be no time to plunder Liang Guo’s autumn harvest of the people, and there will be no emergency supplies of food and grass in the rear. The entire war will be severely damaged.
The goalkeeper guarding the food and grass will definitely be chopped alive!
Under the pressure of the gatekeeper and the governor, the panicked soldiers had no choice but to rush to the camp gate.
Looking at the backs of the soldiers, the goalkeeper felt worried in his heart.
Although the enemy army can only be a small force, why is it so small that the cavalry has been transferred to launch an attack tonight? Unless...the other party has been dormant for several days, spying secretly.
But within a radius of a hundred miles, there are all the eyes and ears of Night Owls and scouts. How can the other party lurk for many days without revealing their whereabouts?
Just when the goalkeeper was puzzled, he heard the killing cry coming from his ears, which became clearer and clearer.
The enemy has broken through the camp gate and is heading this way? How long has it been since? How could the enemy army be so fierce?
Ning Hu on the other side, holding a rifle, kept killing the defenders in front of him.
It had only been tea time since launching the attack. Ning Hu had already killed more than a dozen defenders in a row, and even led the Tianji Camp guards to pass through and attack the interior of the camp, less than a hundred steps away from the granary!
There were only so many elites in Beidi, and they were all sent to the front line. Although the troops and horses in the rear were all regular troops, they were stationed all year round and lacked the training of actual combat. Faced with the rapid night attack by the guards of Tianji Camp, they naturally panicked. The tactics they trained on weekdays, Forgot everything.
When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is to avoid chaos!
The more ferocious the Tianji Camp guards' offensive, the lower the opponent's morale. Without morale, they will be even more unable to resist.
The two hundred guards attacking from the front were divided into two groups. The one hundred guards in the front were holding rifles, while the one hundred guards in the rear were still holding bows and arrows.
Use your infantry to defeat the enemy's long weapons and armor, while providing protection for the archers at the rear.
Bows and arrows put unimaginable pressure on the defenders.
and……
The guards of the Tianji Battalion are all equipped with armor-piercing arrows.
Made of pure iron, the arrow is pointed and coated with poison.
The cost of each of these Tianjiying standard armor-piercing arrows is enough to make ten ordinary arrows.
In addition to arrows, bows have also been improved by Tianjiying. Regardless of Daliang or Beidi, the upper-strength step bow weighs one stone, which is one hundred and twenty kilograms, the middle-strength bow weighs seven buckets, and the lower-strength bow weighs five buckets.
The upper force of the horse bow is equivalent to the middle force of the foot bow.
As for the Tianji Camp guards, after undergoing physical training designed by Qin Feng and specializing in the practice of archery, their physical fitness is one step higher than that of normal soldiers. force. Neither the range nor the armor-breaking ability can be compared with ordinary soldiers.
Facing the bow fire from the Tianji Camp guards, the camp defenders were unable to resist.
Every shot will hit, every shot will hit!
Cloth armor and light armor are useless. Even the heavy armor worn by generals cannot provide effective protection except for the helmet and goggles.
Whether it was weapons, armor, or morale, the camp defenders were very different from the Tianji Battalion. Although the camp defenders had a numerical advantage, they were unable to unite into a force and the advantage was not obvious.
Seeing that the guards of the Tianji Battalion were less than fifty steps away from the granary, and the defenders were scattered in all directions, unable to form a decent counterattack, the goalkeeper knew very well that once their morale was depressed, it would be impossible to force these first-time soldiers to cheer up again. Different from fantasy.
The goalkeeper immediately led the guards and went into battle personally.
The goalkeeper holds a long-handled ax, and there are more than fifty guards behind him. The weapons in his hands are mainly barrier knives.
At this time, the guards of the Tianji Battalion had suppressed the morale of the defenders. Facing the charging goalkeeper, they must not give in at all, otherwise the goalkeeper would establish his power and boost the morale of the army.
Ning Hu pointed his finger at the defender's goalkeeper and shouted: "The enemy general is in battle, shoot him!"
Although Ning Hu is brave, he is not stupid and will never risk his life rashly with the enemy.
For a moment, the arrows from the guards of the Tianji Battalion focused on taking care of the defending goalkeeper.
Although the guards immediately protected the goalkeeper behind them, in the face of a volley of fire from the Tianji Camp guards, the goalkeeper and a dozen guards around him were hit by arrows.
