With a bang of explosions, Nan Daying quickly became chaotic.
People can stand upright and continue to shrink after being shelled, but grain and grass can't.
Without food and grass, Dayao didn't need to attack, this army would have to starve to death on the way.
The Great Xia army immediately reacted in the same way, and the soldiers surrounding them were all ready. They all knew that the attack of the ancient tribe was coming.
The first thing they ushered in was not the charge of the flying cavalry, but another round of artillery shells from Ren Baqian. A series of more than a dozen shells spread from the position with the thickest troops to the side, and more than half of them hit the positions with the thickest troops. The position, and a few shells also messed up the position where the flying cavalry was about to attack.
Then, near the river, a thousand flying knights appeared from the darkness. Following a flash of saber light, a fence fell directly, and the flying cavalry charged towards the opponent in a conical formation.
Like a knife cutting butter, the Daxia army that hadn't recovered from the chaos was cut open, first the tip was inserted, and the flying cavalry behind widened the crack.
Whenever the front section is blocked, a few people jump out from the back to the front as the tip of the knife and continue to penetrate deep, killing from the edge to the middle in just five minutes.
The flying cavalry on the periphery spread out directly, like flowers blooming, or stretched from a fist to a palm, and the soldiers in the middle of the Great Xia army fell down row by row.
At the same time, some people set fires everywhere, overturning the grain and grass carts to the burning position, making the fire burn bigger and more grain and grass being damaged.
Li Qianqiu was jumping up and down in the dark to observe the movements of the Great Xia army, seeing that the two meters below his feet were half a meter shorter than other places. It caused Ren Baqian to keep looking at him.
Under Li Qianqiu's command, before being completely wrapped into dumplings by Daxia, the flying cavalry killed them directly from the weakest place in the north, kicked down the fence, and fled from the small open space between the northern camp. Quickly disappeared into the night.
If it was said that the Great Xia Army in the Southern Camp could reduce losses by separating the grain and grass and extinguishing the fire with quilts, the raging fire at this time made them stop thinking about it.
At least half of the food and grass had been turned into flames.
In the middle of the Great Xia army formation, the former middle-aged general looked at the huge flame in front of him with a livid face, and the light of the flame cast a strange red color on this face.
"Get water, put out fire!" He struggled to squeeze out two words between his teeth.
"My lord, I'm afraid they are waiting outside. In the disturbance in the northern camp just now, their food and grass were also burned, but the gang of barbarians did not attack the northern camp." Someone reported immediately.
"The sword and shield hands are ready, the gunmen are ready, the archers are firing three rounds outside, and the divine crossbow battalion is ready." General Da Xia ordered.
Following the mobilization of military orders, a total of 20,000 people formed an army formation on the side close to the river, with sword and shield soldiers at the front, the divine crossbow battalion at the back, two rows of spearmen behind, and behind them Three rows of archers.
As they moved, the two of them went up and down in the darkness outside the camp...
"Is there no other way?" Ren Baqian sighed while descending in the air, jumping up and down there like jumping on a spring bed, his whole body was not feeling well.
"I realized for the first time that you are a genius!" Ren Baqian sighed while rising in the air, and fell again after reaching the highest point.
Damn, if you die in the future, you will be killed stupidly.
Also, what are you doing with a tent
…
"My lord, grab half of the food and grass, and the rest are too late...do you still need to fetch water?" A general pointed to the huge fires in front of him and said, these can't be saved even if they are watered.
Since the flying cavalry was so good at setting fires when they came in, Ren Baqian wanted to attract them to come over to fetch water to put out the fire, but they gave up now.
The leader of the southern battalion showed a murderous look on his face, and said: "Pretend to fetch water, and send some people out to test it out. If the ancients are outside, shoot arrows immediately."
Following his orders, the already deployed army formation moved towards the river, stopped when it was twenty feet away from the fence, and the archers first scattered three rounds outward.
Under the command of Ren Baqian, the soldiers of the ancient tribe who were intercepted and killed outside were all lying outside the fence, and this position just couldn't be shot.
The arrows fell into the river with the sound of piercing in the night.
Then hundreds of Daxia soldiers holding buckets and looking death on their faces rushed out, and then there were screams.
"Let go!" The Daxia army in the battalion rained three rounds of arrows without saying a word, and this time there was the sound of many arrows being shot into the human body.
When Dayao and Daxia fought, the most casualties were this kind of coverage shooting outside a certain range. If the two sides entered into hand-to-hand combat, the casualties would be much less, and the opponent's casualties would rise in a straight line.
Ren Baqian and Li Qianqiu looked at Daxia shooting arrows from a distance, slightly puzzled. "There seems to be something wrong."
When he was puzzled, the other party sent hundreds of death squads to rush outside. When the sound of fighting sounded, there were several rounds of arrows raining in the camp.
"Damn, they're not trying to fight the fire at all, they're fishing!" Ren Baqian looked at the army formation standing still, and immediately realized.
Originally, according to his thinking, if the opponent wants to fight the fire, he must push the army to the river. At that time, he will already be out of the range of the camp, and the distance from the Daxia army in the middle of the camp will be relatively far away. Swallow 20,000 people.
We must know that a large camp of 80,000 people is at least tens of miles in radius, like this southern camp, which is four miles wide and seven or eight miles wide.
It is only two miles from the middle of the camp to the gate facing the river.
But now the tail end of this army formation is only one mile away from the middle of the camp, and it is only a few minutes away from the rest of the Great Xia army to support. The opponent stood still and didn't move forward after being killed. Instead, he sent hundreds of people out twice in a row.
"MD, this is different from what I thought before." Ren Baqian scolded.
Now the distance between this army and the other Great Xia troops in the middle of the camp is much shorter than what Ren Baqian expected before. If they rush over now, it is absolutely impossible to evacuate before the other party comes to rescue. Already, contrary to his original idea of less damage.
But the other party is not a puppet, so how could he act as he expected.
"Can't you make it?" Li Qianqiu asked? According to his thinking, now the army will directly kill them, and when the reinforcements from the other side come, they will kill them together, for fear of being an egg! With 6,000 strong troops plus 1,000 flying cavalry, facing the 80,000 Xia army, it can be said that they have enough winning percentage.
The only problem is that the loss will be a little bigger.
"Come on, if you have the conditions, if you don't have the conditions, the Overlord will forcefully bow!" Ren Baqian spat, and then continued: "The others are about to retreat, and the flying cavalry is in place. I will fire a round of artillery fire first, and the flying cavalry will charge in." , kill two back and forth and retreat."
After Ren Baqian finished his hard work, he still felt that there was no need to fight recklessly. There were still seven days left, and the road was long.
Save your troops, and you have to go to Yunguo to grab guns later!
But thanks to the flying cavalry of the empress, this elite team, no matter whether it is a charge against a 100,000 army, or a quick victory at this time, or a night attack to harass, or a long-distance attack, there is nothing it cannot do.
It's a pity to go to Daxia first, and this time the war, now the number of flying cavalry has changed from 1500 to 1000, and even Ren Baqian is starting to feel heartache.
