Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 21 Night Attack
On the battlefield at this time, the fish scale formation of the Guan Liao Army was completely useless.

Wave after wave of closed army sergeants, after climbing to the top of the mountain, have already tried their best, where can there be any impact?

After rushing up, ridiculously long spears were poking at them from the front, side, and everywhere.

The first wave of shield soldiers rushed up suffered heavy casualties almost instantly.

The sergeants of the Shu army only need to poke their spears into the crowd, and they can reap great rewards.

But their shields can only defend one side.

All of a sudden, the stabbed Guan Yuanjun rolled down like a dumpling.

Those follow-up troops who rushed up would also be stumbled by the corpses and wounded soldiers of their own, and rolled all over the gourd.

"Go in! Go in! Go in!"

Chai Shao, who was commanding in front of the horse-riding formation, kept urging his subordinates to pour up in frustration.

After the shield soldiers of the first wave of the Guanyuan Army were smashed alive, the second and third batches surged up with almost no gaps.

"Hello them to death!"

Ma Liuzhi, the coach of the Shu Army, stood directly in the front row in order to boost morale. Like other sergeants, he held a long spear and wore a cutaway shield.

"Shu dog, die!"

A strong sergeant of the closed army separated the long spears in front of him with a shield, and was about to rush forward for hand-to-hand combat with a short knife.

Ma Liuzhi's eyes turned cold, and the moment he separated the other people's spears, his spear pierced his eye socket.

puff!

With a muffled sound, the spear pierced through the eye socket, and Ma Liuzhi picked up the spear again, and the cover of the closed army soldier's sky was lifted.

The half-headed corpse shook twice before falling to the ground and rolling down the hillside.

More ferocious-looking sergeants of the closed army rushed up again.

However, under the weight of the sword, shield and armor, these people rushed up as fast as they were walking on flat ground.

It's just a living target.

The sergeants of the Shu army showed no mercy. They aimed their spears at every gap. One shot would kill a person.

The smelly blood flowed down from the top of the mountain like a stream.

The corpses kept rolling down like a landslide.

"Reorganize, reorganize!"

The Guanyuan army who rushed forward could barely hold on for a quarter of an hour before collapsing.

When they retreated, more soldiers of the closed army rushed up.

The sound of slashing and killing on the battlefield is endless.

On the top of the mountain, the three phalanxes that assassinate the enemy are constantly rotating.

Although the Guan Lian Army's offensive was very tight, the top of the mountain could find the opportunity to make substitutions anyway.

There are 500 people going up each time, and the total number of soldiers in the Shu army is 3, which can be rotated [-] times.

In the afternoon of the battle, the Guanyuan army of more than 5 people took turns to attack, and the casualties had reached nearly 100, and the casualties of the Shu army were not even [-].

And there are people on rotation, so everyone can ensure that they are full of energy.

As for the other path, the Guanyuan army simply gave up this direction after they were blocked by the city wall after attacking several times.

Finally, in the evening, the corpses were piled half a meter high at the bottom of the mountain.

Guan Yuan's army never rushed up again, but fired a round of arrows.

Throwing upwards from the bottom of the mountain, most of the arrows landed on the mountainside.

"The Shu army is victorious!!"

"The Shu army is victorious!!"

"The Shu army is victorious!!"

The sound of a murderous battle roar came from the top of the mountain.

The morale of the Shu army, which has taken advantage of it, is high.

And the Guanyuan army at the bottom of the mountain began to collect the fallen corpses in a dejected manner.

Morale is greatly affected.

"Soldiers, there is no need to lose heart. The enemy army is already besieged here. As long as we attack in turn, we will be able to wipe out all these thieves."

"Pass down the order to reward the three armies. Tonight, there will be wine and meat!"

Changsun Wuji saw that morale was low and came personally to boost morale.

At nightfall, roasted whole sheep were hung on the bonfire of the closed army camp.

The distribution of wine and meat finally revived the sluggish morale of the Guanyuan Army.

On the top of the mountain, the soldiers of the Shu army also received their dinner.

The fragrant dried fish stewed in oil is combined with pancakes. Although it is not as fragrant as the roasted lamb below, there is still meat that can restore physical strength.

At this time, Ma Liuzhi's scarred face was faintly visible in the firelight of the camp.

Ten thousand light infantrymen were already lined up at the front with their chests and stomachs drawn.

"The battle of the regular soldiers has been fought for a day, and you and other light infantry have not yet had the opportunity to make meritorious service in battle."

"Did you see the cattle, sheep, wine and meat of the closed army at the foot of the mountain?"

"Since their food is so good and I can't wait to come and celebrate for them, it would be really a waste."

Ma Liuzhi grinned on his scarred face.

"Ha ha……"

The ten thousand light infantry soldiers all had weird smiles on their faces at this time.

With their tall stature and murderous aura, they looked like a group of hell demons who were grinning.

……

"kill!!"

In the middle of the night, outside the gate of the Nan Daying camp of the Guanyuan Army, there was a loud cry of killing.

Countless light infantry, in groups of ten, rushed into their camp.

The soldiers of the Guanyuan Army guarding the gate of the big camp did not even resist for a minute in front of these light infantry who were good at melee.

"The Shu army attacked at night!"

"Quickly, get rid of them and take back the camp gate!"

The entire closed army camp was suddenly in chaos.

The sergeants of the Guanyuan Army were not fully armored, and when some even rushed out of the tent without weapons, they were slashed by the spears and halberds of the light infantry of the Shu Army who specialized in melee.

The former, who were completely caught off guard, were hacked to the ground one after another aggrieved.

The soaring flame was ignited, and then blown by the icy mountain wind in Sichuan and Sichuan, it spread like a fire dragon.

In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the entire Southern Camp was engulfed in flames.

"What happened?"

Changsun Wuji himself woke up from the Chinese army in a white pajamas, opened the tent and saw the soaring flames of the Southern Camp.

"Prime Minister, the Shu army attacked the South Camp at night, and we were not able to prevent it!"

A panicked officer reported.

"Bastard, don't these damn mud-legged people know about dignity?"

Changsun Wuji cursed angrily.

Then, Chai Shao began to organize people to rush to the North Camp, trying to intercept the enemy's night attack.

The men and horses who rushed up were scattered by the rout soldiers of the South Camp, trampling and causing countless casualties.

The instigators had already grabbed a large number of cattle and sheep from the Guanshan Army, carrying their military pay and food, and returned to the territory of Wenshan County.

Early the next morning, Changsun Wuji saw only the charred corpses of his own people and a battalion of wounded soldiers all over the ground.

A night attack once again reduced the closed army by thousands of people, and the morale problem was even more serious.
