The second quarter of the Yin hour is three-thirty in the morning in later generations. This time is when people are physiologically the sleepiest and the deepest sleep.
Taishi Ci chose to take action at this time, obviously this was not the first time he had done such a thing.
He held a halberd in both hands and held the horse's belly firmly between his legs. The horse jumped over the guardrail of the camp while galloping, but he was in no hurry to do it. He wanted to wait for the enemy to react and let enough cavalry jump in.
Even though they were wrapped in horse hooves, the movement of hundreds of horses galloping was really big. A sergeant wiped his sleepy eyes and impatiently opened the curtain to see what was going on. When he poked his head out, he was struck by an iron halberd. Broken throat.
"Do it!" Taishi Ci shouted loudly and threw a bonfire towards the military tent nearby. Sparks flew and the tent soaked in kerosene to prevent insects instantly burst into flames.
The sergeant in the tent didn't even have time to put on his clothes, let alone his armor. He rushed out with a ring-shaped knife. He saw a group of cavalry setting fire to the tent and then beheaded the sergeant who ran out of the tent. .
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy..." Before he shouted the third time, Zhou Tai's throat was blocked by Zhou Tai's long spear.
In the chaos, Gan Ning rode out, rushed into the long queue of cavalry, and waved his halberds repeatedly. From time to time, like Xu Sheng, he would throw the iron halberd and retract it with the iron rope, knocking down three cavalry in the blink of an eye.
However, his own soldiers were in chaos, running around like headless flies. Gan Ning chopped down the cavalry rushing past him while shouting: "Gan Xingba! Gan Xingba! Gan Xingba!"
The purpose of shouting your name in a chaotic battle is to let the soldiers stabilize their position. Don't panic, your general is still there.
It had an effect, but not much. After hearing his roar, the scurrying sergeants leaned towards the source of the sound as if they were grasping a life-saving straw.
But Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai were not here to fight. They raided the formation along the way, knocking over bonfires when they saw them, and beheading the sergeants when they saw them. Wherever they went, there was a mess but they did not stop.
The Hundreds of Horsemen left just as quickly as they came, leaving only dozens of corpses and a dozen tents on fire.
Even though the cavalry had gone far away, these soldiers were leaning together in fear, holding the ring-shou knife in their hands, looking nervously into the depths of the camp, fearing that they would leave and come back.
"Asshole!"
Seeing the fear of his brothers being dominated by the cavalry attack and the lifeless soldiers lying on the ground, Gan Ning gritted his teeth angrily and shouted: "We are in danger, don't stand there in a daze, move!"
Only then did the soldiers react and hurriedly carried buckets to put out the fire.
Gan Ning didn't blame these old guys, they had all been with him since Yizhou.
He had spent half his life living on the water and rarely saw cavalry. Being surprised by a group of cavalry was normal. He only hated himself for being incompetent and just watched the other party murder and set fire in front of him and leave in a swagger.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he galloped after him, determined to avenge his brothers!
After hearing the horn sound of the enemy attack, Gao Shun from the Chinese army's tent said very calmly to the two captains: "You two go to the stables and lead the people to form an array. Don't let them rush in."
He picked up the spear on the side of the soldier and walked out quickly, jumped on the horse, and rushed towards the direction where the fighting was the loudest.
"Hahaha, it is said that Lu Bu's troops are good at fighting, but today's meeting is nothing more than that!" Zhou Tai excitedly licked the corner of his mouth to cheer up his counterpart, Pao Ze.
The battle is not over yet. Their position is in the middle of the camp, and their target is the East Village. According to Taishi Ci's planned plan, they will attack from the West Village into the East Village and kill the entire enemy camp.
At the beginning, Baiqi was indeed uneasy and even timid to fight. After being killed from Xizhai, they despised from the bottom of their hearts this army that once made the princes of the world fearful.
Bingzhou cavalry? Trapped in camp?
But that's all...
Even if Lu Bu is guarding this camp today, there is nothing he can do. I, Zhou Tai, said so!
Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai rode side by side to open the way and rushed into Dongzhai. There were more than ninety cavalry behind them, like the wind and lightning.
After arriving at Dongzhai, the two of them started setting up bonfires and burning tents as usual. As the flames soared into the sky, their visibility became increasingly high.
Taishi Ci suddenly discovered that the road ahead was blocked by two rows of horses.
Infantrymen began to rush up from all directions. Their movements were not fast, but they were in perfect agreement. They were in groups of five, all wearing heavy armor, holding a knife or gun in one hand and a shield in the other, waiting for their arrival in front.
These people were different from the ones just now... Taishi Ci instinctively felt that the infantry in front of him was not simple. They would not panic when they saw the cavalry. Even the burning tents did not make them take a second look.
From beginning to end, their eyes were locked on these cavalry, and their eyes were very cold, as if they had no concern for everything in front of them.
"Charge over!" Taishi Ci didn't want to think too much. The top priority was to rush out of Dongzhai.
Taishi Ci, who rushed forward on horseback, waved his halberds to open a hole. The five people in front of him quickly put their shields on the ground and leaned down to hide behind the shields.
Bang bang bang~
The iron halberd passed over the shield, sending out a burst of sparks. Before he could stop his attack, a spear poked out from the gap in the shield.
Taishi Ci was shocked and tightened the reins. The horse jumped high to avoid the blow.
Whose part is this? Taishi Ci has never seen infantry who are so good at fighting. Their cooperation is perfect, and no movement is superfluous.
Looking up and looking around, I realized that many cavalrymen had been killed by this move and fell off their horses.
Zhou Tai relied on his tendon flesh to rush forward and stabbed the iron shield with all his strength.
After a clang, the iron shield was knocked away. Before he had time to tear open the hole, a knife and a gun were coming from the left and right. He barely managed to deflect the attack from the left to the right.
Damn it, what's going on with these people!
"Youping, these troops are not simple and cannot be fought with force. Quick, turn the horse's head and we will fight out of Xizhai!" Taishi Ci made a decisive decision. He could not let all the hundreds of horses die here.
The speed of being trapped in the camp is a disadvantage. Naturally, it cannot keep up with the cavalry. Before they were completely out of contact, they found a group of people blocking the way.
Gao Shun ignored him and said in a cold voice: "Do you think this is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
"The momentum of charging means advancing but not retreating; the ambition of being trapped means death but not life." On the field, hundreds of people shouted slogans that echoed through the sky at the same time.
Falling into camp, this is falling into camp...
Zhou Taizai felt sorry for his ignorance just now, and Taishi Ci was also complaining secretly in his heart. This time he really hit the wall.
It was not only them who were stunned, but also Gan Ning.
The lightning-like cavalrymen were repelled by a group of infantry. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a fantasy.
Thinking back to the chaotic situation in which his men were killed just now, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Looking at the trapped camp, he sincerely lamented that there was really no need for such a unit to patrol the night...
The slogan of "trap the camp" is getting closer and closer. The cavalrymen who were just excited to rob the camp feel the despair rising deep in their hearts. The slogan is like a life-threatening charm.
"Brothers, the fish is dead and the net is broken, follow me and fight with them!" Tai Shici felt the uneasiness around him. He wanted to rush out before the morale of the army collapsed, otherwise he would only die.
