Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 67 Night Attack
"All right!"

"Stop joking, send slaves, on the basis of this, you should go back and have a good rest first, there are still arrangements for the evening, so you have to keep your spirits up!"

He clapped his hands and focused their attention on himself. Tan Pingzhi was quite puzzled and looked at Wang Mi in confusion.

"Secretary Wang, will there be any action tonight?"

"Qin Jun's vitality has been seriously damaged."

Wang Mi smiled and looked at Liu Yu: "Ji Nu, what do you think?"

"Should we give Di Qin, who dared to attack, a chance to rest?"

Liu Yu pondered for a moment, then said categorically, "Of course not!"

"Soldiers, tricksters, take advantage of the emptiness to enter, so that they can completely stop their thoughts of attacking Jingling!"

"Secretary Wang is right, at night we must strike while the iron is hot and strike again!"

"Yeah, you go to rest first, I will discuss with General Xie and the others, and make sure to destroy all the Qin troops surrounding Jingling City!"

When they thought of defeating Di Qin completely, the soldiers were full of confidence and enthusiasm.

Liu Yu's mind flashed a flash of light, and he quickly chased after him: "Secretary Wang, General Huan also said that when Di Qin is defeated, he will meet with you and talk about the past."

"General Huan wants to see me?" Wang Mi's brows twitched, and a feeling of excitement surged into his heart.

Liu Yu nodded: "I told General Huan that it was Secretary Wang's credit for being able to rescue him in time this time. If Secretary Wang hadn't improved the halberd, I wouldn't have been able to kill so many enemy troops, and even saved them. General Huan."

"You saved General Huan's life?"

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

Wang Mi felt that he couldn't be absent from the battle tonight. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and I really don't know what kind of magical events happened...

At the first moment of Xu, Jingling outer city.

Under the cover of the deep night, in the corner of the tower, a dark figure gradually appeared.

one or two...

four eight...

More and more, they soon assembled into a small team, and then from a small team into a large team, in just half an hour, in the shadow of the corner of the city tower, a small area gathered thousands of soldiers!
The hoods on their heads shone with silver light in the moonlight, and the eyes of every soldier were full of light, indicating their excited mood at the moment.

Attacking at night has always been a tactic that Jiangnan defenders are good at.

In the case of the confrontation between the north and the south during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, generally speaking, the south was on the defensive and the north was on the offensive.

The Di Qin army on the offensive side was not familiar with the terrain near Jingling, but this familiarity was the advantage of the southern army.

Moreover, the night attack has another great advantage, which can only be seen in actual combat.

That is the weakening of the role of cavalry.

There was a proverb in ancient wars: South ships and North horses.

In the geographical scope of China, the separatist court, along the major geographical boundaries, generally has two modes: East-West and North-South.

There was basically no difference in weapons and combat methods between the regimes that were divided between the East and the West. For example, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were both known for being good at cavalry assault operations.

The regimes of the North and South were very different. The northern court had sufficient war horses and was good at using cavalry to fight, while in the south there was almost no good pasture suitable for raising war horses, and within the scope of the ruling area, the river network was dense, and all actions, including combat, had to rely on ship.

Although the northern troops are not suitable for water warfare, any battle will eventually land on the ground. Once they fall to the ground, the southern army is still helpless in the face of the powerful cavalry impact from the north.

In the long war, the southern troops also figured out many ways to weaken the cavalry's combat effectiveness.

Night War is one of them, and it works well.

Because of the ancient marches and battles, there were no electric lights and flares at night, and the lighting conditions were quite poor.

Therefore, even if they are as sturdy as the Qin army, when night falls, they still have to set up camp and take a good rest.

People need to rest, so do war horses, and the saddle will be taken off the horse's back to relax.

In this case, once the southern troops launched a night raid, it was a waste of time for the panicked cavalry to install the saddle.

This gave the Jin army the possibility of victory.

With so many advantages, night warfare certainly became the first choice for the southern armies.

Even if the Beifu soldiers and horses are sufficient, Xie Xuan and the others do not reject this style of play.

A group of 2000 people quickly assembled under the cover of night.

Led by Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi personally led the team, and Secretary Wang Mi, as a specially invited melon eater, formed the Beifu Night Attack Team, which was gradually approaching Jiang'an.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Di Qin troops, Xie Xuan ordered the soldiers not to light torches. It was God's help that the moon was extremely bright tonight, and the Beifu soldiers who were familiar with the nearby terrain could completely rely on the moonlight to march.

"Secretary Wang, it's enough to take us out of the city gate. You'd better go back quickly. The battle will start in a while. You don't have eyes for swords and guns, and you don't know martial arts. It's not good to hurt you." Liu Laozhi said in a low voice. Down, Wang Mi could see that his face was full of disdain.

Ha ha……

Don't think I can't see it, why are you concerned about my safety, you are obviously afraid that I will pull you back.

"General Liu is so concerned, Zhiyuan is very grateful, but I came to Jingling not to play, but to observe the situation on the battlefield. If you don't let me go to the battlefield, what am I looking at?"

Liu Laoyi was kind, but he didn't know that he was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by someone.

He was so angry that he had a big face, there was black in the purple, and purple in the black, he turned to Duan Xian: "Brother Duan, Secretary Wang will be handed over to you, the war will start in a while, you must protect him, absolutely went wrong."

Duan Xian didn't even agree. Under the clear moonlight, his big eyes were like eagles and wolves. At this moment, he was still in the mood to take care of Wang Mi's safety. Killing a few more Qin soldiers was the real deal!
"Zhong Wei!"

"The end is here."

Zong Wei stepped forward, and behind him, the team that belonged to him, was ready to go, and everyone was in high spirits.

"We will march later, you lead the team ahead, and make a mark in the water so that we can return along the way."

Zong Wei led the order, took his men, rushed forward, and quickly joined the Jingling local soldiers led by Huan Yi.

The tactics of the marker number during the night battle had already appeared in the Jin Dynasty.In ancient times, the lighting at night was extremely poor, although the defenders of Jingling were all local soldiers and were extremely familiar with the topography.

But in the dark night, once you rush to kill, there is no way to guarantee many things.

Especially wading combat.

The river outside Jingling City is deep and turbulent. It is precisely because of this big river that the Qin army led by the Liang brothers has many worries and is not sure to attack the city immediately.

As for the defenders of Jingling City, they were more familiar with the situation of this river, and they were able to find out exactly where the river was the narrowest and shallowest, so that it was convenient for soldiers to cross the river.
