I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 275 The Weakness of the Qiang Hu Cavalry

"Father, if the boy didn't capture Ma Chao, will it affect tonight's battle?" On the top of the city, with the help of the long lights, Sun Ce looked at the Qianghu camp in the distance, looking a little uneasy.

"There is a little influence, but is there a problem?" Old Dong shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem!"

"Although Ma Chao drew a tie with you, everyone saw it with their own eyes when they were defeated by Fengxian and Zilong. The Qianghu tribe will still shock the old man's powerful generals, so..."

"It's not a big problem?" Sun Ce answered subconsciously.

"No..." Old Dong still shook his head, and forcefully explained, "It's certainly not human favor for them not to invade Fufeng from Wanghua and Xingbing. But it's a real accident that the old man let them see the demeanor of a big man and fierce general."

"So, this is called sophistication."

Sun Ce suddenly looked at Old Dong helplessly, and muttered, "Father, my son admires your eloquence that you like to brag when you have nothing to do, but you can still give Yuan back."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Old Dong didn't blush at all, and couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to act."

As soon as he raised his hand, the drums in Huaili city were loud and the lights were blazing!
In the silent Xiqiang camp, the people inside suddenly became chaotic like a huge beast being awakened to cheat its corpse.Old Dong stood on the top of the city and watched carefully, seeing that the troops of Han Suimateng's two battalions were the first to react.

The ear-piercing sound of the bone flute of the Western Qiang came and went between the two battalions at night, and the surrounding Qianghu tribes heard the sound of the bone flute, and then turned from chaos to order and gathered towards the two battalions.

"Oh, it seems that I am still a little bit prepared."

After observing for half an hour, he put down the binoculars and said disdainfully, "It's a pity that such a reaction speed is not as good as those in the Central Plains who have only been trained by county soldiers."

"I'm afraid that before we take action tonight, they will blow up the camp first..."

"The Western Qiang Allied Forces are divided into 36 armies, and they were not subordinate to each other. Among them, Han Sui and Ma Teng are the strongest." Seeing this, Xun You said, "It's not because of Han Sui and Ma Teng's troops. Majestic, but both of them are Han generals, and they have conducted the most basic military drills on their subordinates."

"Although those people of the Xiqiang tribe charge horses and are not afraid of death, they are murderous and notorious in Liangzhou. But when it comes to obeying orders, they don't have this awareness at all." Looking at the general behind him, he continued, "This is also the reason why the previous generals were able to sneak attack and win smoothly."

"Well, that's why the old man chose the method of night attack, which can best expose their weakness, and then used a few tricks of suspicion to ensure that they will be annoyed."

At this time, the sound of the drums on Huaili City had stopped, but the chaos in the Xiqiang camp had been going on for a while before it gradually calmed down.

When the calm finally returned, Old Dong waited for about two sticks of incense, and said, "Well, it's almost there, let's do it again."

As soon as the words fell, the drums in Huaili City were beating again, and the lights on the top of the city were blazing.

This time, the Xiqiang camp really exploded. After half an hour of chaos, Han Sui and Ma Teng led the army and rushed to the city.

"Tie Dong!..." Ma Teng obviously didn't sleep well, and cursed loudly, "What's the point of beating the drums in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, the old man is afraid that I will sleep too hard, so I tell you to get up and pee." Old Dong laughed, and then looked at the soldiers beside him, "Bring the old man's Italian cannon over, and give the mother a shot!"

The soldiers did not understand.

Dian Wei explained from the side, "Shoot a round of bed crossbows to force them back."

"Oh..." Only then did the soldiers at the top of the city understand, they twisted the rope tightly with a winch, and at the order of their respective corporal leaders, the big wooden mallets slammed down on the organ.

A dozen huge crossbow arrows as thick as an arm made a piercing sonic boom, and shot suddenly in front of Han Suimateng.

'Bang bang bang! ...'

The crossbow arrows pierced through the bodies of dozens of unsuspecting Qiang Hu soldiers, and the huge force pierced them straight into the ground, killing them instantly.

Four or five of them were scratched by crossbow arrows. At that time, blood flowed profusely, and the screams of misery resounded throughout the night sky.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were just lucky not to be hit by the crossbow arrows, but when they saw the cleared gaps around them, their complexions paled instantly: This Dong thief's city defense crossbow is so powerful!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!..." Under such a fierce weapon, the two of them didn't even bother to say another harsh word, and hurriedly steered their horses and retreated to the camp behind them in embarrassment.

After all, it was impossible for them to attack the city in the middle of the night.

He could only hold back his anger, put the fur on his head, and said: "This is Dong Bandit's plan to exhaust the troops. I will retreat tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Ma Teng hated Han Sui.

Originally, Ma Chao set up his camp ten miles away from Huaili City, but after Han Sui came, he said that Ma Chao had defeated the morale of the Qiang and Hu troops, and he insisted on moving forward to surround Huaili City and put pressure on the defenders of Huaili City.

Ma Teng doesn't know if the pressure has been created or not.But he knows that he has enjoyed the pain of disturbing the people by square dancing 800 years in advance.

At the third watch, the drums in Huaili City were loud again.

But this time Ma Teng was too sleepy to care about it, so he covered his ears with fur felt in embarrassment.After about two sticks of incense time, no enemy troops came to attack the camp as expected.

He just didn't know that the three gates in the north, south, and east of Huaili City were opened this time. The six generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Yan Liang, and Hua Xiong each led a group of 500 people to leave the city through the three gates and quietly headed towards the west Qiang. The camp went around in three directions.

After the fourth watch, it is estimated that the six troops have already taken their positions.

Old Dong, who still had time to eat late at night, looked at Lu Bu and Sun Ce, and said, "Do you know why Liuer and others are the main force in this raid?"

Lu Bu got up proudly, and danced Fang Tian with a halberd: "Since the boy is the most powerful in the whole army, he is also the best at commanding the cavalry. If the boy is the vanguard and the main force, he will definitely be able to smash the enemy's camp!"

Not to be outdone, Sun Ce said with emotion: "Father wants to take advantage of the boy's courage after knowing his shame, lead the way, and defeat the enemy army before the enemy army attacks the city!"

Old Dong couldn't help but frowned slightly: You all understand, what else can I ask the old man to say?
In a fit of anger, he walked down the city wall without looking back, stepped on his horse and shouted at the Xiliang iron cavalry who had already recharged their batteries during the day: "Make meritorious deeds, tonight!"

"Whoever kills the tribal leader will be rewarded with [-] gold, given [-] hectares of land, and his rank will be raised by one rank! The one who captures will be rewarded with [-] gold, given [-] hectares of land, and his rank will be raised by two ranks! Kill or capture Han Suimateng and his wife , as long as you don't overdo it, I will give you whatever you want!"

Everyone knows that one hundred gold is the dividing line for Lao Dong's back pain, and tonight's direct offer of such a high reward immediately made the cavalry in the city shout loudly!
At the same time, the golden drum on the top of the city also thumped!

The city gate facing the Qianghu camp in the west also opened rumblingly.Old Dong clamped his horse's belly, and finally shouted: "Get promoted and get rich, just tonight, I never play tricks on you!"

"This battle is not only for the big man, but also for you!...The opportunity is in front of you, and it depends on whether you can grasp it!" After speaking, he took the lead, waving his horse and said, "Follow the old man to kill!"

"Kill!..." Ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry followed closely behind, rolling out of the city gate like a raging tide.

In a blink of an eye, the sight has turned into a sweeping sea wave. Under the leadership of Lao Dong, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Dian Wei, they rushed towards the Xiqiang camp like a stormy wave hitting the shore!

The fourth watch is the time when people are fast asleep, especially for the soldiers of the Qianghu Daying Army who have been harassed by drums three times, they can't even open their eyelids.

The dozing sentry was finally awakened by the sound of rumbling horseshoes. Before he blew the horn in his hand in horror, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and pierced his throat.

At the same time, the six generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Yan Liang, and Hua Xiong led an army of [-] on the three roads in the southeast and north of the Western Qiang camp. Launched a sneak attack!

"Ce'er, do you know what we are waiting for in this battle?" Old Dong asked Sun Ce excitedly before rushing into the gate.

"I know!" Sun Ce nodded, his eyes seemed to be like a flame burning behind him, and he replied loudly, "I must beat that Ma Chao and call him Dad!"
