She Song

Chapter 123 The Dog Bites the Hedgehog
The commander of the capital, Fu Jin, was also a martial arts scholar at that time. He was very skilled in bow, horse, infantry, and military formations, so he served as the vanguard of the Forbidden Army.

He sat on his horse and looked at Han Ji's soldiers hiding behind the wall of the south camp, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

The rural soldiers picked out from the homeless piles were all strong and strong. They were surrounded by 300 elite men from three sides. The two or three hundred people in front of them would not be able to hold on for long.

Not only did he think so, but his subordinates also thought so.

"Fu Duzhi, it's been almost two quarters of an hour since we started shooting. Let's just rush in and level this village!"

"That's right, this gang of rebels won't come out or run away. They're just a coward. Let's just kill them!"

At the same time, in the south camp, Dong Xiaoyi was observing Fu Jin a mile away in a hidden place on the roof with two telescopes.

Zhang Shuisheng, Lu Chen, and the two reservists all looked at the two-section telescope in Dong Xiaoyi's hand with envy.

This thing is very magical. From it, people and things a mile away can be seen in detail!
Unfortunately, at present, this kind of treasure can only be worn by battalion commanders at one level, and they are still two levels short of it.

"Tou Dong, what's going on with the Forbidden Army?"

Dong Xiaoyi was not a stingy person and handed the binoculars to Zhang Shuisheng.

"You all take a look, I think these grandsons seem a little impatient!"

Zhang Shuisheng soon discovered Fu Jin, but he couldn't help it. This guy looked too eye-catching riding a tall horse.

"Really, everyone is gearing up and turning their nostrils into the sky. This is because they are not treating us as food!"

Dong Xiaoyi casually brushed away a floating arrow and said with a smile: "There are 500 of them, and they are the elite of the Forbidden Army. It is inevitable to be a little arrogant..."

Zhang Shuisheng quietly looked around to the east and west and handed the telescope to Lu Chen.

The three people observed the enemy's situation and began to discuss countermeasures.

"The headquarters hasn't given the order yet, but I guess they will take action soon. Three new recruits count as one. We only have less than 200 combat troops. How can we fight this battle better?"

Zhang Shuisheng thought for a while and said: "The opponent has no sense of defense at all. It is better to wait for them to charge, and I will lead people to go around behind and hit him with a counterattack. If we catch the riding officer, we will win the battle."

Lu Chen also had the same idea. He would resist head-on and attract a heavy siege from the opponent, and then use an ambush to surprise and behead him. This way, the cost would be minimum and the result would be maximum.

Dong Xiaoyi calculated that the opponent had 500 people on the left, center and right. If the three sides launched an attack at the same time, there should be about 200 people left behind on each side.

The success rate of the raid is still very high, but...

He looked at the two deputies and asked: "The other side will attack with nearly a thousand people later. After I bring my personal guards over, can you defend it?"

Zhang Shuisheng and Lu Chen laughed, patted the roof, and said, "This is the best fortress. Unless they burn it with fire, they will definitely not be able to take it down!"

Dong Xiaoyi reminded them: "Don't fight stupidly. Once you can't hold on anymore, get out quickly. The president said..."

Zhang and Lu both laughed in unison: "If you save people and lose their land, you will gain both people and land. Please don't worry, Mr. Dong!"

At this moment, the Forbidden Army suddenly made a noise, and in an instant, the fierce murderous aura soared.

Dong Xiaoyi quickly scanned the battlefield with a telescope. As expected, the imperial army adopted a strategy of attacking from three sides at the same time. There were two or three hundred infantry on the south, east and west sides, approaching the southern camp step by step.

"Then let's get started, I'll leave the camp to you two!"

In the lobby of the main house, Dong Xiaoyi saluted two deputies.

Zhang Shuisheng and Lu Chen quickly returned the gift.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong. We will definitely follow the rules. You must also be careful!"

Dong Xiaoyi stopped talking, opened the secret passage, and got in first. Behind him, fifty personal guards filed in.On the wasteland, except for weeds, there is almost no shelter, which is not conducive to defense.Therefore, Han Xiaoyao secretly arranged for a group of local soldiers to dig secret passages in each camp, and the length of the secret passages in the headquarters camp even exceeded three miles.

It was precisely because of Han Xiaoyao's precautions that Dong Xiaoyi was able to formulate a counter-attack strategy at the critical moment.

The three forbidden troops were fifty steps away from the south camp. Fu Jin's flag bearer pointed the flag at the south camp. Nearly a thousand people of the forbidden troops roared from three directions and rushed towards the wall.

At the same time as the Forbidden Army launched its final assault, fifty reservists from the South Camp, under the command of Zhang and Lu, used hunting bows to shoot arrows through the archery holes reserved on the wall of the village, killing the Forbidden Army who dared to approach.

The fifty semi-full-time reservists only had three months of intensive training. Although they had gone through three actual military exercises at the end of the month, when faced with live Forbidden Army soldiers coming at them, they often did not target vital parts.

Therefore, after three rounds of firing, nearly a hundred people in the Forbidden Army were injured, most of whom were shot in the abdomen, thighs, shoulders and backs.

Such a high hit rate is mainly due to the usual practice subjects with moving targets, and the charge of the Imperial Army this time is too intensive.

It’s so dark that it’s hard to miss!

When the imperial troops rushed to the base of the village wall and began to hit the village gate, Zhang and Lu blew a whistle, and everyone quickly retreated to the main house.

The main house was closed, and when the Forbidden Army pushed down the wall of the village gate with gritted teeth, the holes left on the four walls began to function again.

When cold arrows were shot from behind the doors and windows, from the walls, and from the crenellations on the roof, the Forbidden Army poured into the camp and became denser, causing heavy casualties and screams.

The main house made of civil engineering is difficult to destroy in a short time. The wooden door has long been blocked very thickly. The Korean reporters are hiding behind the narrow shooting opening, and it is difficult for the Imperial Army to kill each other.

As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Forbidden Army suffered more than two hundred casualties.

Moreover, when the originally relaxed and arrogant Imperial Guards saw their comrades wailing and the red blood everywhere, a chill arose spontaneously.

Most of the smart people either retreated outside the village wall or hid in the blind corner of the main house wall, and the offensive momentum suddenly stopped.

Fu Jin, who was originally very ambitious, was shocked and furious when he learned about the huge casualty ratio.

A rotten wooden house actually caused 300 casualties. Are you all idiots?
If you can't take this camp, you will be nothing more than a waste in the eyes of King Yun. What future will you have in the future?
However, Fu Jin had no idea what to say to such an "iron hedgehog".

"I don't believe this is a house made of iron. Continue to send more people to knock down doors, climb ladders, and dig into walls. We must take it down even if it is set on fire, otherwise we will kill you without mercy!"

Under the strict military orders, the frightened Forbidden Army vanguards once again began to swarm forward.

Through the human ladder set up in the corner, the Imperial Guards finally climbed to the roof. Just as everyone was rejoicing, the entire roof suddenly burst into flames.

The more than 20 imperial soldiers who finally climbed up, with flames on their bodies, jumped from the roof to the ground while everyone was stunned, rolling and screaming.

Comrades rushed forward to put out the flames, but everyone was burned to a bloody pulp and was carried down.

However, the painful screams echoed in everyone's heart, and when they looked at the house burning with raging fire, the Imperial Army no longer had any trace of arrogance.

The attack lasted only half an hour, and the Forbidden Army's casualties exceeded 400%, exceeding [-].

All the soldiers and leaders refused to attack the death wooden house, but watched it burn bit by bit outside the camp.

Seeing this, Fu Jin did not dare to force his subordinates anymore. Burning down the camp was a military achievement anyway.

Just as he raised his eyes to watch the fire, a commando team wearing camouflage military uniforms emerged from a hidden exit under the grass behind the Forbidden Army.

Dong Xiaoyi led fifty personal guards and quietly reached the position twenty steps behind Fu Jin.

At the moment when the fire in Nanying was at its fiercest, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Dong Xiaoyi made a gesture of surprise and beheading.

Kill, start!
