Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 272, Night Attack, Crushing of Equipment

The spies quietly went outside the Huns' camp, observed the soldiers patrolling inside and the layout of the camp, and then quietly returned to their original position.

"General, I can see clearly that the patrols of these Huns are not regular at all. The patrols of each tribe are completely different from the others. The two tribes in front are the Tuli and Hunxie tribes of the Huns. These two are big tribes among the Huns," the spies said.

"Are you sure?" Dumbo asked.

"I'm sure that when my father was alive, he took me to do business in Yunzhong, and happened to encounter the Tuli and Hunxie tribes attacking Yunzhong. My father also died of a cold during this business trip, so I was very impressed. It is impossible to misread it," said the spy.

"What about the staffing?" Wang Ben asked.

"A team of five, two teams at a time," said the spies.

"General, are we going to attack at night again tonight?" Dunwei asked.

"Did you bring the fire oil I asked you to bring?" Wang Ben asked.

"Here we are. We put the kerosene in a jar, one for each of us, a total of [-] jars." Dunwei took out a jar from his waist.

"It's fine, I ordered everyone to disperse later, rush into the Huns' camp with me, throw all the kerosene cans on them into these tents, and then retreat, understand?" Wang Ben said in a low voice.

"No!" said suddenly.

The soldiers in the front row conveyed Wang Ben's order to the rear. After everyone heard the news, Wang Ben waved his hand, and five soldiers held bows and crossbows and marched towards the Huns camp.

"Whoosh~"

Five feathered arrows were inserted from above to observe the Huns soldiers around. Wang Ben saw that the Huns soldiers on the high ground were dealt with, and immediately rushed forward with the soldiers who were ready to mount their horses behind him.

The sound of galloping horses alarmed the patrolling soldiers, but before they had time to inquire about the situation, they were shot and killed with feathered arrows by the soldiers who entered the Huns camp. In an instant, Wang Ben led the soldiers into the Huns camp.

"Quick battle and quick decision, throw out all the fire oil!" Wang Ben said with a sword to kill the Hun soldiers who rushed to his side.

Dunwei threw the kerosene can at his waist towards a tent. The can burst open immediately, and the kerosene inside spilled on the tent. The other cavalry followed suit. Three hundred kerosene cans were smashed open in the Tuli and Hunxiebu.The Xiongnu soldiers also woke up one after another, and besieged the cavalry of the Qin army, and the two sides fought in chaos.

"withdraw!!"

Seeing that the kerosene was almost scattered, Wang Ben lifted the brazier beside him to the tent covered with kerosene with a sword and immediately ordered to retreat. The other cavalry heard the order to retreat and stopped fighting with the Huns soldiers.

Some soldiers who did not have time to rush out of the camp were immediately surrounded by fire, and the original fire spread rapidly towards the surroundings under the blessing of the cold wind.

The fire alarmed other nearby tribes, and the sound of the Qin army’s night attack resounded throughout the Huns camp. A large number of Huns soldiers besieged the cavalry army of the Qin army.

At the head of the border town, General Chen was anxiously waiting for the news of the night attack, when he suddenly saw the flames from the Huns' camp in the distance.

"General, do you see that the Huns' camp is on fire?" The soldier on the side said, pointing to the direction of the fire.

Chen Shoujiang gave the soldier a hard look, and said
"Nonsense, let me put it this way, I'm not blind, someone will mobilize a thousand cavalry to support General Wang Ben with me."

"General, if you all leave the border town, who will take command?" the deputy general said worriedly.

Chen Shoujiang glanced at the lieutenant general, his expression was a little uncertain. He naturally knew what the lieutenant general was worried about. He was worried that if they didn't come back, the whole border town would be leaderless.When Wang Ben took Dunwei to attack the camp, he also said this sentence, but it was you who was used by Dunwei?I got it back.

"If we don't come back in time, the border town will be handed over to you. Don't say too much. Today, the Huns are sieging the city. I am very aggrieved. I have been in the army for many years. I have always led people to beat others. I have never been beaten like a turtle by others."

As the gates of the border towns opened wide, General Chen led a thousand cavalry towards the Huns camp.

At this time, in the Huns camp, the [-] elite cavalry led by Wang Ben fell into a bitter battle.

Although the three hundred elite cavalry were all elites, the casualties of the Huns soldiers who faced the large number of soldiers continued to rise. Just when the Huns soldiers were about to encircle the cavalry of the Qin Army, the ground trembled slightly, and there was a booming sound.

The ground was constantly shaking, and in the flames, countless horses screamed when they were disturbed by the fire. The flames on the stables and the flames in the camp gradually merged, and more than 1 horses were frightened. These horses rushed out of the flames in order to survive.

The encirclement that was about to be formed was suddenly destroyed by the horses rushing out of the fire. Facing the galloping horses, these Hun soldiers had only one thought in their minds, which was to run. The entire Hun camp fell into turmoil as the horses dispersed. Except for the Tuli and Hunxie tribes, the nearby tribal camps were all attacked by frightened horses. rushed to his horse.

Under the impact of the horses, the camp fell into turmoil, and everyone rushed to escape, crying, the sound of burning fire, and the sound of horses trampling soldiers.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Seeing that the Huns were confused, Wang Ben rushed towards the entrance of the camp. The others immediately followed Wang Ben. The rest of the cavalry kept their formation and broke through to the outside.

The turmoil in the Tuli and Hunxie tribes aroused the entire Xiongnu camp, and Touman was also awakened by his subordinates.

"Da Shanyu, the Qin army attacked the camp and set fire to the stables. More than 1 horses from the Tuli and Hunxie tribes were frightened and rushed towards other tribes." The soldier said,

"The Qin army attacked the camp!? What do the patrolling people eat? Why did they let them burn the stables!?" Touman said angrily.

The headman of the guard with a golden knife stuck in his waist said:
"Da Chanyu, now is not the time to worry about these things, now is the time to stabilize the camp."

Hearing the words of his golden knife guard, Touman calmed down and ordered:
"Let Tuli and Tuqian take the Royal Guards to stabilize the turmoil, let Xiegu and lead people to guard outside the camp, and don't let the Qin army run away!"

"Yes, Great Chanyu!"

The two golden knife guards beside Touman immediately conveyed the order according to Touman's words.In King Zuo Xian's department, King Zuo Xian looked at the turbulent camp ahead with a sneer on his face.

"My lord, do we need to support the Tuli and Hunxie tribes?" King Zuoxian's golden sword warrior said.

"What are you going to do? Da Shanyu will naturally support them, Babalu, let our boys rest well, we still have the task of attacking the city tomorrow!" Zuo Xianwang sneered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Babaru glanced at the burning camp and shook his head.

King Zuoxian looked in the direction of Wang Zhang and said in a low voice

"Touman, don't worry about letting your cronies defend you when other tribes are in front. You didn't expect to be fooled by your cleverness."

After speaking, King Zuo Xian returned to his camp without looking back.

At this time, Wang Ben led the cavalry and rushed out of the camp. Behind him, Touman sent people to hunt down Wang Ben's Xie Gu and led the cavalry in hot pursuit.Looking at the Hun cavalry who were chasing after them, the cavalry of the Qin army took out their crossbows and pulled the trigger on the cavalry behind them.

The Xiongnu cavalry who were shot by the crossbow arrows fell off their horses one after another. Xie Guyu was a little surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't know why the cavalry of the Qin Army had such superb cavalry skills. He ordered
"Archery!!"

The Huns cavalry shot arrows at the Qin army in front one after another. The Huns' arrows seemed to miss the Qin army. The Qin army's cavalry seemed to have nothing to do, and backhanded a burst of crossbow arrows. Seeing this scene, Xie Guyu was shocked and speechless. The same was true for the Huns cavalry beside him. Some Huns cavalry even shouted

"Monsters, soldiers of the Qin army are all monsters!"

With distracted efforts, Xie Gu and the cavalry led by him slowed down, and they could only watch helplessly as Wang Ben led the team away.Wang Ben, who got rid of the pursuit of the Huns, saw General Chen welcoming him in front of him.

General Chen looked at Wang Ben who was covered in blood and asked many soldiers excitedly
"General, are you all right?"

"It's okay, the latest armor made by the public loser is easy to use, and the Huns' swords can't pierce our armor." Wang Ben patted his armor and said.

These armors were made by public losers imitating condensed armor. Although they are not comparable to real condensed armor in terms of lightness and defense, they are already crushed by the Huns who still use inferior bronze or even bones to make arrows and swords.

Chen Shoujun looked at the armor on Wang Ben's body by the light of the fire. The armor of the three hundred cavalrymen was obviously different from theirs.

"Where are the pursuers?" Chen Shoujiang asked.

"I don't know. We were still chasing us just now, but after shooting a round of feather arrows, the speed slowed down. Let's retreat quickly." Wang Ben said.

"Okay, the general will go first, and we will be in the rear." Chen Shoujiang said.

Wang Ben nodded, and led the cavalry towards the border town. Chen Shou led the people behind the palace. After the enemy did not catch up, Chen Shou led the people and withdrew, and Wang Ben led his men straight into the border town.

"How about the casualties?" Wang Ben stopped his horse and said.

"Thanks to these latest armors, none of the three hundred brothers died, five were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured." Dunwei looked at the armor on his body with pity in his eyes.

The same is true for other cavalry. When rushing to the Huns' camp, the Huns' weapons could not do substantial damage to them, especially facing the Huns' bows and arrows, most of them were blocked by armor.

"It's a pity that this kind of armor is too difficult to make. It is said that only the Habayashi Army has equipped most of it so far, and other armies only have a small amount of armor." Wang Ben said as he pulled out the feather arrow stuck in the armor.

Looking at the arrowhead of Yujian, Wang Ben was a little surprised, because the arrowhead of Yujian was not the common bronze and bone arrowheads of the Huns, but made of iron. Although the production was very poor, it was not as good as Qin's arrowheads, but it was enough to surprise Wang Ben, which showed that the Huns already had craftsmen who could make iron weapons.

"It seems that what you say is right, the Huns will be our main enemy in the future." Wang Ben said looking at the arrow.

Although the Huns did not have craftsmen, the Huns knew the importance of craftsmen. When they plundered countries, in addition to money, food and women, they also paid special attention to craftsmen. Every time they plundered, they brought many craftsmen back.

"Under Da Qin's iron cavalry, no enemy can survive. The Huns are powerful, but we are not bad now." Dun weakly patted the saddle and stirrup and said.

Wang Ben nodded. Qin fought against the Huns before, and it was no different from other countries. They all relied on cities and relied on strong bows and crossbows to continuously consume the Huns' vital strength.But if it is a head-to-head confrontation, the Qin army is indeed no match for the Huns.

In the Central Plains, only Zhao's martial arts cavalry could fight head-to-head with the Xiongnu cavalry, but now with the horse three treasures, the Qin cavalry gradually stood on the same batch as the two.

As the sky became brighter, the chaotic Huns camp subsided, and the Huns sat on the ground in disgrace, while soldiers transferred from other tribes were cleaning up the battlefield.

Under the escort of two golden knife warriors, Touman led his men to the Tuli and Hunxie tribes.

"Where are your Tuli King and Hunxie King?" Touman asked while grabbing a soldier.

"I don't know if it's back to Da Shanyu. It's from the Tuli Department. The king was burned by the fire yesterday and is now receiving treatment." The soldier replied tremblingly.

Looking at the scorched earth and the tents emitting black smoke, Touman became more and more angry and shouted
"Where are the soldiers on patrol yesterday? The Qin army attacked the camp, but they didn't notice it immediately. What are you doing for food!?"

The Xiongnu soldiers from the Tuli and Hunxie tribes who were present did not dare to speak anymore, but silently lowered their heads, looking at the dejected soldiers, the anger in Touman's eyes seemed to become real, and he said to the soldiers just now

"Take me to King Tuli, are there any soldiers from the Hunxie tribe here? Tell King Hunxie to meet me in King Tuli's camp."

"Yes, I'll take Da Shanyu to meet our Tuli King."

The soldiers led the way ahead and brought Touman to the tent where King Tuli was.
