Chapter 211 The Battle Before Dawn
Wu Song, Hu Sanniang, Luo Ping and Jiao Ting were the central army and led 100 guards in the central army. The first vanguard battalion was Niu Gao and deputy general Guanghui, who led 100 troops and horses. The mission was to investigate, spy and patrol.
The second battalion commander Lu Da, deputy generals Ou Peng and Ma Lin, commanded one hundred soldiers.
The commander of the third battalion, Wu Yunlei, commanded 200 soldiers from the tribe. Poor, the elderly, weak, women and children from the Baicaogou tribe have only reached one thousand. Now that spring is coming, the herdsmen still have to grazle cattle and sheep, and it is the maximum possible way to organize 200 cavalrymen.
The captain of the material transportation team was Duan Jingzhu, who led a team of 100 people in the horse gang.
There are also military medical officers, veterinary officers, food, grass, equipment, and military officers, etc., which are not expressed one by one.
After announcing the appointment, Wu Song said, "According to the spies' reports, our mortal enemy, robbed thousands of women and children from Baicaogou tribe, grazed on the grassland 200 miles away. Because the livestock group was preparing to breed in spring, their personnel were relatively scattered, and we had a great chance of winning with five hundred people. Now I order the entire army to set out." The team set off at noon.
"promise."
More than 500 craftsmen were left in the camp, and no one else was left. The reason for this was that there was no way to do this. With just a little force, I'm afraid that it would be worse than a horse thief if I split the troops.
The marching on the grassland is about speed, and people can bring food. Horses do not consider logistics. Except for a small amount of essential materials, the forage will be eaten wherever they go.
The starry night marched, fifty people were drawn out by the locals from Baicaogou to join Niugao's Pioneer Camp. One hundred and fifty cavalry of the Pioneer Camp marched forward, Wu Song's central army, Lu Da Oupeng, Ma Lin's second battalion, and Wuyunlei's third battalion were more than ten miles behind. The group walked slowly and stopped to rest until midnight. People ate and horses ate food. After two or three hours of rest, they continued to rush forward when the sky was hazy. The Forward Camp stopped after walking less than twenty miles. Niugao led the team to hide behind a mountain nest.
The guide of Baicaogou was obviously a little scared and pointed to the valley and said, "There is the Wild Wolf Tribe. There are more than a hundred tents outside that are from the Wild Wolf Tribe, and the inside is the captured population. Over time, women and children will become people from their tribe."
Niu Gao nodded: "There are many guard posts on the periphery, and there are about ten. First, destroy the guard posts, and then wait for the brigade of troops to attack together."
Guanghui said: "I took people over and wiped out the guard post."
Niu Gao said: "Then be careful, don't mess it up."
Guanghui said: "Don't worry, I'm not as good as you when riding a horse and fighting, but I'm a strong point in this kind of thing, so you can just watch it."
Guanghui waved his hand and did not bring many people. He only brought five skilled people with the cover of the night and lurked like a lynx cat. Guanghui took the lead, and the first one was in front of a big rock. There were two sentries and a pile of fire, and the horse stood rumination next to it. The Wild Wolf tribe robbed all year round and was very vigilant. He held the wine bag in one hand and held the knife handle in the other, and was talking dirty jokes there.
Guanghui came over with five soldiers in the grass dozens of meters away and reached out to signal that he would get started in person. Guanghui took a short knife and rushed over quietly like a cheetah, threw a stone and hit the ground. A sentry thought there was something wrong and walked over to watch. At this time, Guanghui moved, rushed over like a ghost, covering her mouth and smearing her neck on the ground. The sentry who went to see the situation found that there was no problem, turned around and returned. Suddenly, he felt a big hand covering her mouth, and a sharp knife slashed through her neck, and her strength seemed to be exhausted. He stared at the dead fish's eyes and looked at the sky without moving.
Guanghui leaned the two dead people against the stone, looked far away as if they were on duty, and then led people to move to the next warning post.
If we say that these tribes have not experienced strict military training, and they are just going through the process on duty and are not particularly serious, and have been easily destroyed by Guanghui, the old world.
Guanghui came back with a proud look on her face and said, "How about it, Brother Niu, brother, my two hands can still catch your eyes."
Niu Gao smiled and said, "The great monk is awesome, I am not as convenient as you."
"Tsk, I'm not bad at charging into battle."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the team arrived. Wu Song, Lu Da and Wu Yunlei observed the enemy situation and concluded that the elite enemies in this camp were no more than 600, and the others were women and children.
Wuyunlei repeated: "Please, brothers, these women and children are all women and children of our Baicaogou tribe. Try not to kill them when the fight starts."
Wu Song said: "Don't worry, after the battle was over, your people shouted to put down their weapons. As long as women and children didn't take weapons, they would definitely not kill them. But those who took weapons had no choice. There were only enemies and me on the battlefield, and no women and children." This was not because Wu Song was unkind and righteous. Women and children were still lethal when fighting on the battlefield, and they were not weak. For example, Hu Sanniang, he was more capable than ordinary generals.
"I understand this, try my best." Wuyunlei said.
The dark clouds in the east began to turn white, and it was dawn. Before dawn, it was the time for people to sleep the most, and the attack was the best time.
"Blow the trumpet, charge." Wu Song issued an order.
The horse's hooves hit the earth, and Wu Song took the lead, holding a big black eagle crossbow in his hand. Behind him were three hundred cavalrymen, who were like wolves and tigers, and directly charged in a triangular formation, not even the second echelon.
Within a distance of 500 meters and twenty or thirty seconds, the Wild Wolf Tribe camp was in chaos. When the cavalry rushed up, the horse thieves came out of the tent in their clothes.
The crossbow penetrated through the chest, and in just one round of the crossbow knocked off seventy or eighty enemy troops. Then everyone hung crossbow arrows and drew a short dragon musket from the saddle. Hu Sanniang beside Wu Song was a man of men, holding a musket in one hand, and knocked down an enemy soldier with a scimitar. Wu Song also knocked down one, and Lu Da opened fire not far away. Three enemy soldiers were preparing to get on the horse 50 meters away, and Lu Da shot down with one shot, and the horses ran away in a fright.
Later, Ou Peng said in surprise: "This thing is really useful, it's so amazing."
"Change weapons and follow Sajia, but remember not to get too close." Luda said as he skillfully inserted the short dragon musket back, took the magic wand in his hand, and just pushed forward gently. An enemy soldier carrying a scimitar was pushed into the sky. Ou Peng, Ma Lin and soldiers changed their swords and guns behind him.
After this round of attack, the wild werewolf's camp was completely in chaos. The Wuyunlei and his brothers watched behind were even more surprised. The unheard tactics of war were almost every shot within fifty meters. It was a harvester to deal with enemy soldiers without armor.
