PNB Chapter 139: Thunder from the sky, the enemy army in chaos
Chapter 139: Thunder from the sky, the enemy army in chaos
Outside the city, two cavalry teams of the Kun Kingdom were holding torches and were in a very relaxed state.
Some of them were chatting in groups of three or five under their horses, while others were riding on their horses, eating dry food out of boredom.
The night before, the Yan army sent people to harass the Kun army camp. The commander Yu Huatian directly sent them to block the door, and the enemy never dared to come out again.
It was the same last night, very quiet, no problems at all.
It's still very quiet tonight.
The Kun Army cavalry, who had become accustomed to the Yan Army's silence, also relaxed. Even the captain was almost asleep, not to mention the others.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of hurried horses in the distance. Many people looked and saw a fire dragon rushing towards them.
Another fire dragon rushed towards the cavalry on the other side.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Hurry up and mount!"
Following the shouts of the crowd, the soldiers who were resting below immediately jumped on their horses, picked up their swords and prepared to fight.
The cavalry captain, seeing the sparse torches in the distance, sneered,
"Dayan is short of horses. We are not as good as Dakun, which has a dedicated horse farm. Even if we send a cavalry for a surprise attack, the number of people is sparse. With such a small number of people, let alone going back to warn, it is not even enough for Grandpa to fill his teeth."
"Brothers, grab your weapons and kill these Yan cavalry as quickly as possible. Don't let those bastards from the Second Battalion get there first. I still have to brag to the Second Battalion's commander tomorrow, and I can't let them embarrass me!"
"kill!"
This cavalry team also charged towards the attacking Yan cavalry.
The cavalry of the two countries suddenly clashed in the middle of the night.
As they were charging forward, suddenly, the Yan army in front of them split into two and ran towards their two sides.
The commander snorted coldly upon seeing this.
"Crane Wing Formation? Using cavalry to form a Crane Wing Formation, I really don't know what kind of mess your center will be in after we crush it!"
The commander was right. The Crane Wing Formation was an infantry formation, not a cavalry formation, because infantry could surround the enemy on both sides and achieve the goal of completely annihilating the enemy. It would only be used when the troops had an advantage in strength.
The cavalry used the crane wing formation. Before you could surround them, they had already broken through your formation. What's the point of surrounding them?
The advantage of cavalry is mobility!
However, just as the commander was about to charge towards the enemy's center wing, the Yan cavalry on both sides suddenly threw something with sparks into their team.
"what!"
"What the hell hit me on the head!"
One lucky cavalryman was hit directly on the head, fell off his horse, and was trampled to the ground by the cavalry behind him.
Just then...
boom! boom! boom!
Several sounds like thunder were heard, and then there was a feeling of earth-shaking. Many cavalrymen were blown to pieces, and their broken limbs were scattered all over the place.
Many soldiers who were hit by the bomb died on the spot, and those who were not hit by the bomb were deafened and dizzy by the huge roar, and their heads were buzzing.
If this is the case with humans, let alone horses.
The horses were frightened to death by the explosion and rushed around recklessly.
Many soldiers were knocked to the ground by their own or their comrades' horses, and then trampled by the mad horses.
The entire enemy camp was in chaos, and there was no momentum at all.
At this time, the Yan army's crane wing formation was also formed, completing the encirclement of them.
The commander of the Kun army, who had finally managed to pacify his warhorse, discovered that the number of Yan troops was far greater than he had imagined.
Under the leadership of Shen Changgong, these Yan cavalrymen, like gods of death in the dark night, launched a ruthless slaughter on the chaotic cavalrymen.
Under the moonlight, there were flashes of swords and glints of blood, and constant screams and wails.
"Yan Gou! I'm going to fight you!"
The cavalry commander rushed towards the armored Yan general.
He didn't know who the other person was, but he only knew that anyone who could wear armor must be a big shot, and killing one would be enough!
However, before his sword fell, the opponent's spear pierced his chest first.
His armor and breastplate were pierced through like paper by the powerful spear.
"What the hell? You scared me!"
Zhang Yide pulled out his spear, looked at it carefully, and ran to Shen Changgong, smiling and saying,
"Your Majesty, I seem to have accidentally killed a general just now."
Shen Changgong sat upright on his horse and did not go into battle himself, but just looked at the battlefield coldly.
After hearing Zhang Yide's words, Shen Changgong sneered and said,
"A team of a thousand men, on night duty at that, he's a commander at best."
"Oh, Commander, that's not worth much. I thought it was a general."
"There will be a general for you to kill later."
In a quarter of an hour, they killed all the enemy troops, and the battle in the west was over.
Shen Changgong led his men and continued to gallop towards that direction and reunited with Guan Shouchang's team.
Zhang Yide seemed particularly excited. Ever since he was blocked in the city by those cavalrymen the night before, he had been holding his breath and thinking about killing all those cavalrymen every day.
Today, my dream finally came true.
The enemy camp was just five miles away, and they led their troops quickly to the gate of the camp.
When the soldiers were about to reach the gate, the Kun army soldier guarding the gate shouted,
"Why are you back? What was that thunder noise just now? Was it thundering?"
Shen Changgong answered loudly,
"It's thundering and it's going to rain. The enemy will definitely not come out to harass us. Let's come back and take shelter from the rain!"
"Okay! Open the camp gate!"
The guard at the gate did not suspect anything and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
After all, in their impression, the cavalry that could rush towards the north must be their own cavalry and could not be the enemy.
If the enemy really defeated their people, the fleeing cavalry would definitely come back to report the news.
The advantage of cavalry is its speed, and it is very rare in history for a cavalry unit to be completely wiped out.
After easily tricking his way to the camp gate, Shen Changgong took out his scimitar and killed a guard at the gate with one blow as he passed the gate.
Then, he led his soldiers into the camp and started killing people indiscriminately.
"Those of you at the back, hold the camp gate. Everyone else, follow me!"
Shen Changgong shouted loudly, and four thousand cavalrymen quickly followed him and charged into the enemy camp.
Some people went to kill the enemy at the camp gate, some went to throw bombs, some went to find the stables, and some went to find food and grass.
What's worse, some people just took kerosene and fire starters and started setting fires.
Boom boom boom!
As the loud explosions were heard, many soldiers were blown to pieces. Some bombs were thrown into the stables, blowing up the walls, and the frightened war horses ran around in panic.
