The Longqi Army was under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army and the First Battalion of the Horse Infantry Army. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they wiped the darkness and marched westward with firm steps towards the Liao Army camp. He was fully armed but lightly equipped, and all burdens and items that had nothing to do with combat were abandoned.
In order to maintain secrecy, the bells had already been taken off, and each soldier chewed grass stems or wood branches in his mouth. The gritty taste stimulated the nerves. Although the taste was unpleasant, it also had a refreshing effect.
He walked forward cautiously and at a steady speed, maintaining his strength and not going too fast, until he reached a place two miles east of Liaoying. The view here is wide and there are not many shelters. We dare not move forward rashly. It is surrounded by vast wilderness, and in the middle is a large area of crisscrossed farmland.
When Xiang Xun surveyed the enemy's situation before, he selected three suitable attack points from north to south. When formulating the attack plan, Liu Chengyou originally planned to divide the entire army into three parts and launch an attack at the same time to give the Liao army a More flowers.
He was dissuaded by Xiang Xun for no other reason than that such a three-sided linkage would obviously dilute the already small strength of the Longqi Army. Although the Liao camp is dispersed, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. If our own side is dispersed, as long as the enemy reacts at any place, the concentrated troops may be superior to our own, which will increase the risk of attacking the camp.
Instead of attacking in three directions, Mo Ruo wanted to concentrate the entire army and attack all the way to ensure the strength advantage at the attack point.
Sitting on his horse, Liu Chengyou looked westward, staring at the Liao army camp in the distance under the long dark night. There were little sparks, and the stretching enemy camp could not be seen at all.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou applied solemnly, his eyes were firm, and his face was full of resoluteness. He is the commander-in-chief and the most important person in the three armies. At this point, any hesitation or fear shown will be a blow to the morale of the army.
In less than a quarter of an hour, in this field, the sergeants of Longqi's army, under the leadership of the officers, had already set up an offensive formation.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Send the order and prepare to attack!"
It was past Chou hour, and the Liao camp seemed quieter, and the already low level of vigilance was more relaxed. On the Longqi Army side, the surroundings were also silent. The moonlight shone down, and the armor pockets and unsheathed swords reflected the cold light.
This is the time when the body is most exhausted, but under the influence of nervousness, the whole army is somewhat excited. In my ears, I could faintly hear the sound of flowing water, and the southeast wind that had been blowing unexpectedly became stronger.
Looking up and looking at the rustling military flag, Liu Chengyou felt something. He jumped out of the horse and wandered in front of the army. He waved his hands and no longer suppressed his voice. He pointed to the southeast and used all his milk. Lili loudly mobilized before the attack: "Soldiers, when we get here, we have no way out. Those who advance will live, and those who retreat will die. At this time, the strong wind is blowing, and it is God who is helping our army. We take advantage of the situation and advance in one fell swoop. Defeat the Hu Kou!"
The legend of the "Battle of Kunyang", these days, during the march, Liu Chengyou has ordered people to spread among the Longqi Army, and he has repeatedly brainwashed and instilled the idea of "copying miracles" into the troops. In fact, due to sufficient ideological work, the Longqi Army was not too afraid at this time. Due to the sudden death of Yelu Deguang, the morale was very high.
Probably in response to what Liu Chengyou said, the sudden southeast wind on this summer night became even more violent!
"Raise fire!"
Following the order, thousands of torches that the army had prepared in advance were quickly lit, and the surrounding area was suddenly illuminated. The bright flames looked particularly conspicuous in the night.
"attack!"
Immediately following the order, several war drums were beaten, and Longqi's entire army maintained their formation, following the rhythm of the drums, and charged towards the Liao camp in the middle section. The whole army swept across the fields, leaving a mess two miles away. With a high-speed sprint, they quickly approached the Liao camp and attacked.
When the fire suddenly lit up in the east, the sentries of the Liao camp had already noticed it and issued an urgent warning. However, the Longqi army suddenly launched. In this short period of time, in a hurry, the already exhausted Liao army returned. How can I react?
With the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, from east to west, Longqi's entire army was like a sharp blade, plowing into the Liao camp. The enemy camp's defenses were very lax, and there were not many useful fortifications in place. They were easily defeated by the horse army. They jumped through the camp and kicked up tents, and rushed to the shore of Xi River before stopping.
As he promised before the battle, Liu Chengyou took the lead in the cavalry formation. However, being firmly guarded by Li Chongju and others, the battlefield was dangerous and unpredictable. As Liu Chengyou's tooth soldiers, they were only responsible for ensuring Liu Chengyou's safety regardless of the outcome of the war.
After reining in their horses, the two battalions of the Ma Army, under the command of Han Tong and Luo Yanxuan, quickly adjusted their positions and gathered around Liu Chengyou, preparing to launch the next round of attack.
After glancing around, the camp in front of me had been smashed to pieces by the Longqi Army, and the surrounding area had fallen into chaos. The effect of the raid was very good. But this small area in front of us is insignificant compared to the ten-mile company camp, and it is still far from shaking the entire Liao camp.
From the rear, accompanied by powerful and blazing shouts of killing, the Longqi infantry of the Fourth Army, led by the generals, also rushed in. With the cavalry's help in opening the way, they were even more successful.
It was probably because the adventure gene in his body had been activated, and he was already in the hinterland of the enemy camp, facing many crises, but Liu Chengyou's mind became clearer, and his eyes revealed a rare paranoid and crazy color.
"Your Highness, head north quickly and attack in the direction of Luancheng. Before the Liao army can fully react and organize a strong resistance, spread the chaos and completely disrupt its army!" Xiang Xun followed Liu Chengyou closely, observing quickly. Looking at the surrounding situation, he decisively made suggestions to Liu Chengyou.
Director Liu Chengyou was not good at commanding on the spot. He knew this. At that moment, he had no room for hesitation. After such a long time, Xiang Xunzhicai had already been recognized by Liu Chengyou, and he chose to believe him.
Without hesitation, he loudly ordered: "Hold the banner high, charge northward with the entire army. Kill all humans and animals encountered. Don't stop until the Liao camp is penetrated! Kill!"
After the order was issued, the cavalry army, which had already adjusted its formation, immediately started to move, slowly increased its speed, turned from slow to fast, and galloped towards the north. The infantry in the east soon received the order and followed the spread of the fire and attacked northward.
Beforehand, the combat policy of this night attack had been clearly communicated. The main task was to set fire, supplemented by killing people. Maintain the speed of the attack and avoid any entanglement with the enemy. The first priority was to disrupt the Liao camp.
Liu Chengyou led the cavalry army to take the lead in the charge, followed by the commanders of various armies and their troops, and the execution was in place.
The news of the enemy attack has spread to the north and south. I don't know how many people were frightened. At first, they thought they were being attacked by those desperate "rebels" again, but as the noise became louder and louder, the sound of killing became louder and louder. It became more and more intense, and even the most dazed people realized that things were unusual.
