Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 249 Total Chaos

If one were to rank the armies of this era according to their execution power, Zhang Zhao's army would definitely be among the best, and it would probably be comparable to the scattered Silver Spear Efficiency Army.

This de facto private army of King Zhang, mainly composed of the Fengtian Army and more than a thousand Khotan Palace Guards, is now in its thriving stage.

Everyone was waiting for Zhang Zhao to lay down the dragon chair in the Daming Palace and rest with the country, and look like Lingyan Pavilion. Everyone was in one mind, and they took Zhang Zhao's career as their own and worked hard.

So after confirming the location of the Ballyhar army's military stronghold, it only took half an hour for them to determine the battle plan.

Then, within an hour, the battle plan was subdivided into officers at the level of the team leader. At the same time, they collectively pulled out the camp and marched forward for about [-] miles, shortening the distance between them and the Balihar army camp to three. ten miles.

Afterwards, they went down to the village, and the [-] troops ate a full meal in a leisurely manner, and then rested directly on the spot.

Not only did the soldiers not make too many noises, but even the horses were quiet. Many folded-eared horses even learned to lie down and sleep, which is a more energy-saving way.

At the beginning of Yinshi, that is, after three o'clock in the morning, the [-] troops, under the organization of the officers, completed their preparations for departure.

At this time, the moon was still hidden in the dark clouds, and the visibility was very limited. Zhang Zhao ordered a general (100 people) as the basic unit, and the head of the general designated a team leader with the best eyes, who walked in the front with a torch, and the rest of the soldiers Put your hands on the shoulders of the robes in front of you, and walk one by one.

Li Zaiyuan was the team leader who was at the forefront of the army. After another round of careful selection, he was successfully promoted from Huochang to team leader.

But for the former member of Regret Shandu, his promotion speed is very slow.

For example, Manxiong and Dunzhu, who can still stay by the king's side and are still members of Regret Mountain City, are the king's personal guards and confidantes that everyone envies.

There are not many people who have come out of Regret Mountain to become officers, and most of them are at the level of battalion soldiers and horse envoys.

According to the military establishment of the Vice Prince's Mansion, the town-army-battalion-capital-general-team-huo, his team is indeed a bit out of place. The first team has no more than 100 people, and the first battalion has about 1000 people.

However, Li Zaiyuan is still very easy to satisfy. Of course, you can also say that he is very pragmatic, otherwise he would not choose to marry a second-hand woman in an environment where all his colleagues put on their pants and refuse to recognize anyone.

Because he is completely fancy that the little lady of the Liu family whose ancestors were captured by Taros, is hardworking, hard-working and down-to-earth, and quite good at living, and her family will definitely prosper if she marries her.

He is also one of the few people who saves every bounty every time the king releases the bounty.

Unlike Man Xiong and Wang Correspondence, a copper coin was not saved, and he still owed a whole lot of debt.

Li Zaiyuan sucked his mouth lightly, with a copper coin in his mouth, he couldn't hold back his saliva.

The hoofs of the horses beside them were also wrapped in a thick layer of cotton cloth, and the sound of both humans and horses was minimized.

In the silence of the early morning, Li Zaiyuan reckoned that he had walked for more than an hour, because the sky was already dark.

"Take one! Eat cakes and drink water, whoever dares to make other noises, I will smash his mouth!"

When he saw a pile of stones piled up at the three-fork road ahead, and a red strip of cloth was pressed under the stones, the team walking in the front was giving an order.

A team leader who dared to issue an order for the entire army to stop and eat and drink at such a time was precisely the result of Zhang Zhao's efforts to promote military democracy in the army.

In his army, even the lowest-ranking officers in the team can play their own initiative to a certain extent without worrying about being beaten or retaliated by their superiors.

"You bastard! Why did everyone stop?" As soon as the team stopped, the battalion soldier and horse envoy Shan Zhuer hurried to the front to see the situation.

"Soldiers and horse envoys, the people from Youyidu put the mark in front!"

Li Zaiyuan pointed forward, and Shan Zhuer also saw the stone pile on the ground, which was a mark set before departure. Seeing this kind of stone pile means that it is about ten miles away from the enemy camp.

"Is it so fast? We traveled twenty miles in just over an hour?"

The wild boar, who was the envoy of the battalion, was shocked. This was not walking empty-handed, but walking in the cold wind with a sword, gun, bow and crossbow on his back in the dark, and he was able to walk so fast.

Li Zaiyuan took a sip of water, ate a pancake, and waited for a while, before the team in cotton armor and other iron armor came to the front.

Most of these people have the characteristics of Persians and Uyghurs in appearance, and they are selected from the left and right armies of Shunyi.

However, they are not the vanguard of this raid, but belong to the vanguard tool men. Their greatest role is to deliver armor to the elite like Li Zaiyuan.

It was inconvenient to set off in the early morning. You couldn't ride a horse, and you couldn't control three horses by yourself. Therefore, except for one horse in each hand, the rest of the horses were behind, and a small number of logistics troops would move after dawn.

Then, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elite, the armor weighing several tens of kilograms can only be transported by people.

The two thousand soldiers marching in armor had already exhausted their physical strength here. Now that they had removed their armor, they could take a good rest, and then set off after fighting, as the second echelon to fight against the wind.

"My lord, the enemy camp is still unprepared. There are only a few outposts within five miles, and they are all clear outposts. They have all been dealt with!"

Ma Shacai panted and said, this time he brought dozens of elite You Yi troops as the front sentry of the army.

"Then according to the established plan, we will fight from both ends directly and drive the enemy to the main camp in the middle.

Li Ruotai, you lead [-] armored cavalry and get ready. Once the enemy gathers in the main camp, after the cavalry archers and heavy infantry dismantle the roadblocks, I want you to use all your strength to break through them all at once!As long as you can crash in, this battle will be won! "

Li Ruotai nodded, and then stepped in to salute, "Here! Don't worry, Your Majesty, the iron horses promise to complete the task."

. . . . .

The big camp of the Balikhar army was set up by a big river. Just as Zhang Zhao wondered, the soldiers below also thought that Lord Kshatriya and the king above must have some serious illness, otherwise they would not have thought of setting up a camp here. of.

It's early spring and February, and the weather is still very cold, and the humidity is especially heavy by the river. Often after sleeping for an hour, the water mist can soak the clothes.

Moreover, more than [-] troops gathered here, not to mention the firewood for drying clothes and heating, and there were not many firewood for cooking.

A troop that went out to collect firewood yesterday did not come back. It is said that it was attacked, which made the camp panic.

The slender pig is such a frightened and dissatisfied person. He was originally a fisherman by the river, and as a sudra, he can still get by.

The slender pig is not his name, but his nickname, and the slender pig does not refer to a pig, but refers to a giant catfish-tank duckbill that grows in the Ganges.

It is not a good thing for a sudra to get such a nickname, because the skin of the tank duckbill fish is black and yellow.

As a mixed descendant of Aryans and Dravidians, if the skin color of his descendants continues to be dark, they may become Dalits at some point.

And because of his dark skin, he couldn't escape every time he was recruited. Not only did the Kshatriya masters look down on sudras with dark and yellow skin like him, but also those who were slightly whiter among the sudras often excluded them.

"Damn it! Eat peas and wild vegetables every day, don't put too much salt, and don't get any rewards for snatching good things."

The slender pig woke up suffocated by urine, rubbed his sleepy eyes and began to mutter in his mouth.

In the original battle against the Bolo Dynasty, if they won the battle, the people above would make a lot of money, and the bottom soldiers like them would always get three melons and two dates.

But this time, in order to win over the nobles and monasteries of the Baltic Dynasty, Krisila II did not carry out large-scale looting, and of course there was nothing to send to the people below.

"What is that? How can it move? It's pretty fast!" A Sudra spearman who slept in the same earthen nest as the slender pig asked in a low voice, poking him on the shoulder.

At this time, most people at the bottom suffer from night blindness due to nutritional problems and lack of vitamin A. This is the case with the spearman who stabbed the slender pig's arm.

Under the dim moonlight at five o'clock in the morning, he couldn't see clearly what was in the distance, but he just felt something approaching twinkly.

This guy has night blindness, but the slender pig doesn't!
He is a fisherman who grew up by the river. Although many things are not allowed to be eaten in the teachings, the people below are often not able to fill their stomachs. Who cares so much? They eat what they find, and at most they hide and eat.

The slender pigs have much better nutrition than ordinary people because of the fish internal organs and many people don’t eat big catfish, and they don’t have night blindness or anything.

But as soon as he raised his head, a cold feeling came over his body suddenly, because the slender pig saw what was approaching quickly, it was some unsheathed long swords and spear heads, reflecting the light of the torches.

The slender pig really wanted to roar loudly, but the great fear completely overwhelmed him, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound, and his legs were even more rigid, nailed in place like nails, unable to move at all.

'Boom! As soon as Li Zaiyuan sent his right hand, an arrow shot across like a shooting star, and then accurately hit the frightened guy.

The slender pig's throat clicked a few times, and it staggered and fell to the bank of the river. Until the end, he didn't even utter a scream.

Li Zaiyuan's arrow seemed to be a signal for everyone, and countless soldiers in cotton armor suddenly rushed out of the darkness.

In twos and threes, they couldn't bear the cold, and the Balihar army who got up and turned around or released water kept falling down, and the screams began to increase.

There was a commotion in the camp, some people were still asleep, but others were awakened by the screams.

Many soldiers of the Balihar dynasty ran out of the sleeping earthen camp tents, but as soon as they went out, they found that the enemy army in blue and black armor had already killed them.

The clever ones howled and ran around, and the foolish ones who were still rubbing their eyes were stabbed to death. The howling and screaming were superimposed, and the sound became louder and louder, and the entire barracks was in chaos.

There are people running around everywhere, many people are simply naked, they don't know what happened?Many don't know why they are running?Because they did not see the enemy.

But the collective panic and howling infected them. The howling of one or two people developed into the howling of dozens or hundreds of people in a short while.

The heavy infantry who attacked in the first wave opened the wooden fence standing outside the barracks, and cavalry archers with pear blossom guns rushed in.

While throwing the tung oil cans on their backs around, they ignited them with pear flower guns, especially the warehouse where the grain and grass were stored, and a raging fire ignited in an instant.

The raids were launched simultaneously on both sides of the Ballyhar army camp. Horizontal rows of heavy infantry armed with long spears and hard bows shot at those who took up weapons and wanted to resist, and stabbed those who ran around.

They form a basic unit, fast movers, and set fires as they push, continuing to create chaos.

The cavalry archers who had already charged up were even more vile. They ran around, and when they encountered a tent in the earthen nest, they stretched their pear flower guns into them and sprayed them indiscriminately. Running around.

However, in just a quarter of an hour, the chaos quickly spread everywhere. These low-level soldiers were already very dissatisfied with this battle, because they didn't get anything, and the treatment was extremely poor.

Although the Balihar dynasty is a big country in the Tianzhu region, it is still a bit powerless to organize an army of [-] to [-] at one time.The supply of military supplies is not enough.

Coupled with the extreme corruption and inequality caused by the caste system, the low-level cattle and horses have accumulated too much resentment in their hearts.

Many of them even wished that the king would be defeated so that they would not have to continue fighting on the land of the Baltic Dynasty and could go back to their hometown.

With this kind of heart fueling, countless soldiers of the Balihar Dynasty actively contributed to this chaos.

They howled exaggeratedly, seeing one Juerhan soldier, they would say there were a hundred of them.

If they run around, fall down and get injured, they will say that they were stabbed by the enemy, and the enemy is unstoppable in killing anyone they see.

Soon, the Long Snake Army barracks by the river were in complete chaos. There were raging fires everywhere, cries and screams everywhere. Each barracks was like a lit lantern, and the entire river was lit up.

All the soldiers of the Balihar dynasty ran towards the main camp of the Chinese army collectively with different moods.

Some people are simply afraid that the main camp of the Chinese army is safe, some people really want to seek command to resist the enemy, and some people just blindly follow everyone.

The flames of war burned towards the middle army of the third prince of Balihar.
