Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 30
In fact, this time Cao Bin's last sentence really hit the mark. It was only Liu Jiye who sent a group of ordinary troops to the Southern Camp of the Song Army to harass them, using smoke and bombs to confuse them.Let the Song army think that it is impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty to attack the camp again tonight, so they relax their vigilance and attack the camp with elite troops.

At this time, Liu Jiye picked bells on his horse, wrapped his hooves in cotton, and quietly gathered a thousand elite cavalry in the north gate.Twenty crossbowmen have been sent out, and they sneaked into the ground, and their task was to shoot and kill the guarding sentries of Cao Bin's camp.

The real target of his sneak attack tonight is not the southern camp, but the northern camp.

Among the four battalions outside the city, apart from the Chinese army led by Zhao Kuangyin, the northern battalion had the strongest morale, morale, and fighting power. This was one of the reasons why Cao Bin speculated that he would not come to harass him.

The reason why Liu Jiye is called invincible is not that his soldiers are braver than the Song army and the Khitans, nor that he has the martial arts that can defeat ten thousand, but because his strategies and tactics are often unexpected.

When all the battalions were paying attention to the feint attack on the southern battalion, twenty sharp archers under him had already quietly covered Cao Bin's camp in the northern battalion, secretly shot and killed checkpoints everywhere, cleared the horse's antlers, and prepared for his cavalry. The raid is ready.

All the preparations in front of him were ready, and the fire signal was sent to him. Liu Jiye immediately opened the gate of the city, and personally led a thousand elite soldiers to rush towards Cao Bin's camp like a thunderstorm.

Ye Chen walked out of the commander's tent, just as he walked to the firewood pile in the side camp and raised his big knife, the sound of fighting came from the front camp, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised the knife and rushed towards the central army.

When he came to the camp of the Chinese army, he saw that Cao Bin had already put on his armor with the help of other soldiers.Just as he was leading people to run to the front camp, Ye Chen followed behind without saying a word.

The front battalion was already lit with flames. The generals and soldiers in the camp had relaxed their vigilance because the Northern Han army had failed to attack the southern camp. Therefore, Liu Jiye's move of "returning the carbine" really caught them off guard.They had just unarmored and undressed, and now they put on hastily again. When they raised their swords and guns and rushed out of the camp, the Northern Han cavalry came like a whirlwind, throwing torches everywhere, and even ignited the forage cart, causing chaos in the camp.

Cao Bin also relaxed his vigilance and didn't pay enough attention to it. His face was a little ugly, but he was calm and stable. He began to mobilize the army nervously and orderly to fight the enemy's fire, and soon stabilized the situation.

At this time, a general rushed forward a few steps, bowed down and said: "Commander, nearly a thousand cavalry from the Northern Han Dynasty attacked our army at night, and the horse kicked the company battalion. But it has already been blocked by our army at the middle camp. Please make a decision.”

Cao Bin looked calm, and immediately ordered: "The cavalry mounted their horses and took the road back to the city. The infantry surrounded them on three sides, and the archers waited for the opportunity to shoot and kill the enemy. Hmm! Order, try not to kill the horses. Our army has been short of horses. This is the Han army. He sent us a thousand horses. Hahaha..."

After the personal soldiers passed the order, Cao Bin turned to Ye Chen and Wang Chao behind and said, "Wang Chao, take Ye Chen to the front to see some blood."

Ye Chen was startled, but he was also eager to try. He clasped fists with Wang Chao and said at the same time, "Decree!"

After saying that, the two of them passed Cao Bin, joined a group of cavalry that had just gathered, and copied to the rear of the Northern Han army.

Liu Jiye used a big gun.Leading a thousand iron cavalry galloped into the enemy camp like the wind.Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Bin's lieutenant soldiers had no time to organize a counterattack.The horse kicked the battalion and set fire everywhere to create chaos.Killed the former battalion and rushed to the middle army of the northern battalion.His goal is to capture the thief and the king, if this goal cannot be achieved.Can't kill the opponent's Chinese army leader.It is also necessary to disrupt the Chinese army.Make it impossible for the Chinese army to exercise command responsibilities.At that time, although the enemy camp had a large number of people.In the dark night, there will be no one to dispatch and command, and it will also become a mass of loose sand.After taking the opportunity to kill the enemy, he retreated calmly.

But unexpectedly, the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty is worthy of being one of the best elite troops in the world. Even if there is no precaution, the response speed is faster than he expected.As soon as he led a thousand cavalry to break through the last line of resistance in the front battalion, he was already entangled by some of the Song cavalry who rushed over, and was firmly blocked by a steady stream of infantry.

At this time, the surrounding situation became more and more bad for Liu Jiye's side.Although the raid succeeded in breaking into the camp, it failed to disrupt the enemy's formation.Cao Bin's army was still standing like a mountain at this time, and the turmoil and chaos in the front battalion were gradually subsiding.People from all over the camp are slowly approaching here from all directions in a restrained manner.A dark encirclement trend.So far this sneak attack has lost its original meaning.

"That's all! Go on. All these thousand elite soldiers will be buried in this enemy camp." Liu Jiye secretly sighed that the opportunity was lost.After he dismounted a Song general in front of him, he rode away and shouted loudly: "Your lord! Come back to the camp with me."

As soon as Liu Jiye turned his horse's head, he rushed towards the way he came.His martial arts are extremely high, and he uses the momentum of a fast horse.Few people really could stop him.But the cavalry he brought had been detained by Song soldiers.How can I just leave.Countless armies tightly captured his figure and rushed to chase after him.

What made Liu Jiye's heart sink to the bottom of the valley was that the enemy organized more than 2000 cavalry to go around the back of his return to the city in such a short period of time, blocking their way.

Ye Chen was among the 2000 Song cavalry.

Soon, the two armies clashed and entered a melee.For Ye Chen, who participated in the fight on the battlefield for the first time, it was extremely shocking in his heart.

It turns out that this is the battlefield... People danced with knives and guns like beasts, fighting desperately with red eyes. The ruthless, bloody, cruel scene is hard to feel unless you are in it.

Ye Chen never killed anyone in later generations, but after he came to this world, he killed two people who wanted to rob him outside the border city of Yongle. Just a few days ago, he killed Guo Wuwei's messenger, but they all used sniper attacks. Guns and bows kill people.Long-distance killing is completely different from the current concept of killing with a knife and a gun. It is not at the same level at all.

Thousands of soldiers shouted and fought, and thousands of warriors brandished swords around him, throwing the blood and heads of their enemies, which shocked Ye Chen, who was stepping on the battlefield for the first time.He looked at his robes and roared angrily.Together with the warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty who rolled off their horses.But it doesn't know how to rush up and bite the enemy like a beast.

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Chen stood with a knife in his hand.Looking in amazement, this is neither romantic nor tragic.Completely full of blood and ugliness in the fighting field stay.Suddenly someone kicked his horse in the crotch.

This kick was so powerful that Ye Chen's horse suffered from pain. He ran forward a few steps, but just dodged an iron gun next to him.

It was Wang Chao who saved his life at a critical moment.Wang Chao saw him standing there holding a knife and looking around, looking like he was about to advance or retreat.Not really angry.Most people who have just entered the battlefield are like this, but as long as they climb out of the pile of dead people once, they will go to the battlefield next time.He would be transformed from a guard dog to a coyote.

Just now, Wang Chao was fighting the enemy when he saw a Northern Han cavalry stabbing at Ye Chen with a spear.Regardless of the danger.Kicked the war horse under Ye Chen's crotch and saved the life of Ye Chen, a 'rookie'.But his kick was too late, and he was hit by the Northern Han cavalry general with a spear. He screamed in pain and almost fell off his horse.

Seeing this, the Northern Han cavalry general stabbed Wang Chao again.

Ye Chen had just turned around at this time, happened to see this scene, picked up the longbow that he had been holding in his left hand, let out a roar, and shot it without aiming.

With a sneer, the cavalry general fell down in response, and an arrow pierced his throat.

Seeing this, Wang Chao yelled good arrow technique, then ignored Ye Chen and charged at the Northern Han cavalry nearby.

These thousand Northern Han cavalry attacked the camp.Everyone rides a horse, wears a bow and arrow in armor.The knife hanging under the ribs is holding a long spear, and the horse is dismounted with a knife.Shooting bows and arrows from a long distance, wearing armor.In order to preserve this elite force as much as possible, Liu Jiye took great pains.In the current situation where the military equipment in North Seoul is stretched, it is enough to equip them with such equipment, and he has done his best.

However, although his tactical strategy of attacking the camp was right, he really miscalculated the response speed of Cao Bin's imperial army.He didn't expect Cao Bin's men and horses to be so strict in military discipline.After the successful attack on the camp, it not only failed to cause the bombing of the camp.And now the possibility of the thousand elite soldiers under his command surviving is extremely slim.

However, these elite soldiers brought out by Liu Jiye were all daredevils. Although they knew that they were trapped in the enemy camp, they still refused to surrender and resisted desperately.

After Ye Chen shot and killed one person, he finally came to his senses, behind the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield.In the cruelty to the enemy, is there not a touch of brotherly love?
His eyes slowly turned red, just like those fighters who are trying their best to fight desperately now, revealing the madness of bloodthirsty.

With a loud roar, he swung his knife and slashed at a Northern Han soldier who was coming towards him.In the frenzy, his blood boiled all over his body, which seemed to give him infinite strength, courage and murderous aura.

However, Ye Chen still kept a line of clarity in his altar, firmly remembering what Wang Chao said when he taught him the saber technique: "Strength is inexhaustible. You must concentrate on every strike. But you must reserve three points for every strike." .Only in this way can the knife be released and the knife be recovered. The momentum of the knife is like a violent storm. There is no room for the opponent to breathe."

Ye Chen kept Wang Chao's instructions in mind, and Wang Chao's instructions on the power of using a knife.He slashed down with a knife, relying on the courage of blood in anger, and because his strength was much stronger than that of ordinary fighters, he was full of murderous aura and sharp knife skills, as if possessed by a killing god.

The northern Han cavalry was taken the lead by him, and because he was wearing armor, his actions were far less flexible than Ye Chen who rushed to the battlefield without even wearing light armor.He was stabbed once and stabbed left and right.Chop down continuously.A miss.Ye Chen had already slashed down like a whirlwind, chopping and dragging on his neck. With a "poof", the head was raised.A cavity of blood sprayed out two feet high.

Hot blood spattered Ye Chen's face.He stretched out his hand and yelled.Raising the steel knife, he rushed to the back of the Northern Han soldier who was holding down a Song soldier and swung his spear fiercely, and chopped down like a wooden stake. With a sound of "嗤啦", the soldier from the Northern Han Dynasty was cut from the spine to the tailbone with one knife, and died tragically on the spot.

That Song Jun was stunned by his fierce knife.In the raging flames, Ye Chen's face was covered in blood and his face was ferocious.Before the Song soldier could thank him, Ye Chen had already withdrawn his sword.Throws on the next opponent like a whirlwind.

Liu Jiye took his own soldiers and relied on his high-strength spear skills to break out of the encirclement all the way, only knowing that the Song army after the horse was chasing him.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Jiye faintly felt the sound of horseshoes weakening behind him, and looked back halfway.Not a single soldier was brought back by him.My heart was filled with grief, my eyes were red, and my face was full of tears.
