Chapter 424 Night Attack on the Enemy Camp
Looking at the Annan officers and soldiers who began to pour into the battlefield outside the city, some gunners began to reload the artillery again, and killed these Annan officers and soldiers who were trying to rescue their injured comrades, but their actions were stopped by Yang Zaixing raising his hand , Yang Zaixing shook his head and ordered: "Let them rescue their wounded, we are soldiers, not butchers!"

Xu Yi also nodded silently, did not express any objection, supported Yang Zaixing's order, and then said: "Yes! We are not butchers, and enough blood has been shed today! Let them take back their wounded! "

All the Fubo troops stood at the head of the city, watching the Annan officers and soldiers pouring into the battlefield outside the city, carrying the still alive Paoze back to the camp they were setting up, and did not make any further moves. move.

The Annan officers and soldiers who poured into the killing field were a little scared at first, but after they carried back some wounded one after another, they did not see the skeleton army shelling them again, so they were somewhat relieved. Some people tried to continue Walked forward a little bit, searched for the wounded in the pile of corpses, frightened and peeked at the city wall from time to time, but still did not see any hostile actions from the skeleton army on the city wall, so I was relieved Many, so more Annan officers and soldiers put down their weapons and joined the ranks of searching and rescuing the wounded.

Li Hong just watched the officers and soldiers under his command put down their weapons, approached the killing field and carried the wounded alive one by one back to the camp. He didn't do anything to stop him. He just kept looking at the city of Aizhou, and couldn't help feeling Confused, he couldn't figure out why the Skeleton Army did this. Just now they mercilessly slaughtered thousands of officers and soldiers under their command, but now they did nothing to those officers and soldiers who entered the battlefield to rescue the wounded. Something like this Under the circumstances, he only sent officers and soldiers to the battlefield to treat the wounded after reaching an agreement when the two countries were mutually injured. But today's battle has been a complete defeat for them, but the skeleton army still let them Entering the battlefield to rescue his own wounded, instead of attacking them, the officers and soldiers who put down their weapons, he was really surprised by this, and he couldn't help feeling a little respect for the skeleton army in the city.

After the wounded were basically rescued, a skeleton army shouted from the top of the city: "Annan officers and soldiers outside the city have listened, our lord has an order, so that you can collect the corpses of your officers and soldiers outside the city before dark and carry out the battle." The burial is limited to the setting of the sun, and if anyone approaches the city wall after dark, we will shoot to kill! Do it quickly!"

After hearing this, Annan's officers and soldiers all looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, this skeleton army not only allowed them to rescue their own wounded, but now also allowed them to collect the corpses of Paoze, so someone immediately asked Li Hong for orders to send out the camp to collect Paoze's body. corpse, a lieutenant immediately objected: "No! This must be a treacherous trick of those bandits, and the general must not be fooled!"

Li Hong shook his head bitterly and said: "They won't! You go and collect the remains of those soldiers who died in battle, and bury them properly!" So a large number of Annan officers and soldiers began to return to the battlefield again, and began to carry those soldiers who died in battle back. Outside their camp, they began to dig a hole to bury them.

"My lord! Why are you so lenient to them? Now that we've bombarded them a few times, we can kill a lot of them!" Qian Gui asked Xu Yi puzzled, looking at the Annan officers and soldiers who were transporting corpses back and forth outside the city.

"Idiot! It's such a hot day, let them stink outside overnight! Are you willing to fight against them with the smell of corpses like this? Maybe there will be another plague, and we will be affected too?" Xu Yi didn't wait to speak. , Li Bo gave Qian Gui a shudder, and said to him.

Qian Gui rubbed his forehead and laughed, "That's right! The smell of dead bodies is really bad! Hehe!"

When the night came back to rule the land, the corpses of a large number of Annan people outside the city had been restrained, and the exhausted Annan officers and soldiers turned back to the camp one after another. No one went to eat, so they fell into the camp, unable to climb anymore. Woke up, the tragic killings that happened during the day made them all shudder when they recalled it. The arrogance when they came here has long since become a cavity of fear. No one dares to underestimate this skeleton army anymore. I know, it turns out that the skeleton army is not only invincible at sea, but also the Annan people are not their opponents on land.

Li Hong also didn't touch the food on the table, and just slumped down on the chair. The losses during the day's battle had already been calculated, and his heart was almost torn apart. He lost everything in this battle. Fashiche, which had always been defeated by the war elephant battalion he relied on, had to be killed by his own people. Nearly half of them were killed by his own people. Almost the entire army was wiped out, more than 2000 soldiers were killed in battle, and hundreds of people were injured, which almost destroyed half of his troops. The original hatred has now become full of fear. He didn't expect that he had fought in the battlefield for many years, and he suffered such a disastrous defeat today. Aizhou City has become an insurmountable mountain for him, and he really has no way to take down this city that belongs to them.

"Come here! Fetch pens and ink to serve you!" Li Hong shouted dejectedly.

The soldiers immediately fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for him, put them on the handsome case, finished the ink for him, and then bowed and retreated to the side.

Li Hong picked up the writing brush, wrote down today's battle situation on the paper with trembling hands, stated his guilt, then sealed the letter, handed it to the soldiers and said: "Send it to your Majesty Shenglong City overnight, and send Just tell His Majesty the truth! Go quickly!"

The soldiers froze for a moment, then bowed and exited the big tent, then got on their horses, rushed out of the camp, and galloped in the direction of Shenglong City.

Several generals asked for an interview outside the account one after another, Li Hong brought them into the account, and everyone began to discuss;

"General Li! What should we do now! In today's battle, we have almost wiped out all the elite, and the morale of the whole army has already fallen to the bottom. We have no power to fight anymore!" A department said to Li Hong without hesitation.

Li Hong sighed and did not speak. At this time, a general with a white cloth wrapped around his arm said angrily: "The last general will not accept the defeat. The Skeleton Army only relies on the sharpness of their weapons, which makes us hard to guard against. The humble officer is willing to take you out after midnight." The last group of soldiers and horses took advantage of the night to touch the east gate, and took advantage of their unpreparedness to seize the city gate in one fell swoop!"

Li Hong shook his head and said: "This plan is impossible! The Skeleton Army fleet was stationed in the sea to the east, and their lightning strikes are extremely sharp. Attacking from the east will definitely cause damage to their fleet. The bombardment will only increase the casualties in vain, and after today's battle, our soldiers have already been exhausted, their morale has plummeted, and it is absolutely impossible to win by sending troops at night, let the soldiers take a break and fight again tomorrow!"

After hearing this, the general had no choice but to nod and retreated to the side. The other general said: "Now that we have no ballistas and almost all archers, if we continue to attack the city, we will not be able to face their strange weapons." , We are really filling our lives! I didn’t expect the skeleton army to be so fierce, we all underestimated them!”

Li Hong sighed again, nodded silently, and said after a long while: "The defeat in this battle is my responsibility alone, and it has nothing to do with you. I have already written a report, and I ask the king to remove me from the post of commander. The gods sent reinforcements here to take over my post, everyone, do it yourself! We will not be able to hold out tomorrow, and we will talk about it after the reinforcements arrive! Work hard, everyone, to prevent the enemy from attacking our camp at night! Go down and get busy, tomorrow Start ordering people to prepare thick trees to resist the enemy's thunder bombardment, which can somewhat reduce the loss of our soldiers!"

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that after this defeat, Li Hong must be guilty, so they could only comfort him one after another, then quit the big tent, and began to arrange manpower to patrol the camp.

At this time, Aizhou City was still brightly lit, and the scene of jubilation was in stark contrast to the lifeless Annan military camp outside the city. After Yang Zaixing arranged the guards on the city wall, he rushed to the government office and gathered here. The generals meet.

Xu Yi was sitting behind the Shuai case with a happy face, talking and laughing with the generals. After seeing Yang Zaixing coming in, he said with a smile: "Our hero today is back! Let's discuss it and see how to deal with it tonight." Those Annan troops!"

In the dead of night, a group of black-armored elite soldiers quietly opened the east gate, carried the ready-made springboard, paved a simple temporary bridge on the trench, passed the temporary bridge silently, and lined up towards the Annan military camp in the north. hurry away.

Xu Yi personally boarded the top of the city facing the Annan Camp, commanded a group of people to set up some strange shelves on the city wall, and after adjusting the angle, put things with three tails on them. On the top, Qian Gui excitedly hugged one of these things himself, set it up on the shelf, and sneered.

"These idiots haven't had enough of our beatings yet, yet they set up the big camp so close to the city wall. They are sincerely looking for beatings! This time, let them have a good taste of our Katyusha! It is destined for you to return tonight!" I'm in debt!" Qian Gui muttered while adjusting the rocket.

Xu Yi inspected the Katyushas that had been erected, and then looked at the Annan military camp a few miles away from the city, and then asked the gunners who had already been waiting for the battle to start reloading, and the camp that the Annan people set up happened to be them. The limit of the reach of artillery, this time he will use two prongs to give the Annan people a huge surprise.

When the scheduled time came, Xu Yi immediately ordered: "Hit me hard!"

So Qian Gui led a group of men, and immediately lit the fuse on the tail of the rocket, and the gunners who had already prepared all pressed the torches in their hands on the fire door, and immediately there was a roar on the city wall. With a sound, the fire from the muzzle of the cannon made the city wall red, and the projectile, driven by the gunpowder, flew towards the Annan Barracks in the distance like lightning, and at the same time, more than a dozen tails shot The fire thing also rose into the sky, flew into the night sky, left a trail of light in the sky, and left a faint trail in the night sky, and flew towards the Annan Barracks.

The soldiers who were patrolling the night at the Annan Camp looked at the direction of Aizhou City in horror, looked at the dazzling fire, and then heard the rumbling sound, and immediately shouted in horror: "Sky Thunder! The Skeleton Army released the sky again Thunder!..."

Before the words fell, a batch of projectiles fell from the sky and smashed heavily into their camps. Some camps were destroyed in an instant. The projectiles that landed did not sink into the soil, but jumped up and continued to rush forward. The past was invincible, and some unlucky camps collapsed immediately, until the bullets were exhausted before they stopped grunting. Soldiers poured out of the camp one after another, looking in the direction of Aizhou City in a panic. At this time, some things fell from the sky again, and they were inserted straight into the camp. Some of them fell outside the camp, or flew directly over the camp. , the accuracy is obviously not as good as those first batch of projectiles that fell, but before these Annan people can figure out what fell this time, these black guys with tails flashed a bright light, and then exploded violently. The Annan soldiers who were watching it nearby were blown up one after another, and the fragments flew in all directions in the crowd, causing another bloodbath.

Only then did the Annan people know that even though they were so far away from Aizhou City, they could still be attacked by the skeleton army, so they panicked and began to swarm towards the north of the camp. Many of them didn't even put on their clothes, let alone Speaking of wearing armor and taking weapons, after suffering this sudden blow, the soldiers and generals in the Annan camp who had already been frightened became even more chaotic, and even those officers who didn't know where they were were also followed the crowd towards the camp. This kind of chaos was already out of control, and at this time, a group of black-armored elite soldiers suddenly entered from outside the camp. The guarded camp gates raised their hands and threw black objects one by one among the Annan crowd running around, and then there was a continuous roar, these black objects exploded one after another, and the scattered shrapnel immediately killed the crowds. The Annan soldiers were blown to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and the Annan people who were already in a mess became even more panicked and at a loss, and then they began to brandish the spears and swords in their hands, killing everyone they saw, and chopping anyone they saw. After getting up, those Annan soldiers would cry for their fathers and mothers, and even ran away desperately. In the dark, no one could figure out how many such tyrannical soldiers had entered their camp. No one resisted, but they were blindly chased and killed by these fierce black armored soldiers. Wherever they passed, there were killed Annan army soldiers everywhere, and many generals died unexpectedly.
