Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 718: Dark Night Raid
Kaoshan Town is a small town with a population of less than [-]. It is located in the central area of ​​Kara Province, next to the provincial highway, and only [-] miles away from Tielanguan Fortress.

Years of wars have made Kaoshan Town dilapidated. Most of the local residents joined the rebel army or fled as refugees. Now there are no other residents in the town except for dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled.

The heavy snow in the early winter covered the town of Kaoshan with silver, covering up the dilapidated traces. With the military passing on the provincial roads, the dilapidated and dilapidated Kaoshan Town has become lively these days, but the local residents are not happy. get up.

The Far East uprising army was routed from the front line, and all the food, grass, and luggage were thrown to the Hanhai people, so when they arrived in Kaoshan Town, they were already starving to their chests and backs. The so-called soldiers were like bandits, and Kaoshan Town became a source of food for them. .

The rebel army was not strict in military discipline and was very loose. Now there are routs all over the mountains and plains. The hungry routs don’t care whether the residents of the backing town have subsidized them. They are their own people. local residents.

The Hanhai cavalry arrived just after the rebel army's rout, and the Hanhai people were more ferocious than the rebel army. The rebel army just grabbed food to fill their stomachs, while the Hanhai soldiers would not let go of anything, they would grab everything.

All the residents were driven out of the town by Hanhai soldiers to feed them horses and work to build camps, while all the houses in the town were directly occupied by Hanhai soldiers.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather is extremely cold, and the residents of Kaoshan Town can only dare not speak out, and can only feed the horses for the people of Hanhai in the cold wind.

In addition to occupying the houses of the residents, Han Haibing also slaughtered all the livestock they raised. Fires were lit everywhere in the town, and the cauldron was steaming, and the smell of barbecue filled the air in many places.

Seeing their livestock become the meat in the pot of Hanhai soldiers, many residents secretly wiped their tears. Without livestock, they would have no way of living and would not be able to farm in the coming year. But nothing can be done.

After nightfall, a large number of Hanhai cavalry arrived in Kaoshan Town, about half the strength of a division. People were noisy and horses neighing. It was very lively. The smell of wine and meat came from the town.

Hanhai's army chased the Far East rebel army from De'an Province all the way to Kara Province, and killed the rebel army until they cried their fathers and mothers, and suffered heavy losses.

After chasing and killing all the way, the remnants of the rebel army were almost dead, and the next thing Hanhai army had to deal with was the fourth army of the rebel army stationed in the fortress of Tielan Pass.

The arrogant Han Haijun didn't pay attention to the fourth army of the rebel army at all. In their eyes, it was just a group of mobs, just like the first, second, and third armies in the Far East that they annihilated, they still couldn't escape. The end of destruction.

The continuous victories of the Hanhai army undoubtedly made them even more arrogant. After drinking and eating, they only sent a small number of troops to guard the periphery of the town. The rest of the people went into the house to rest. of.

The Hanhai people didn't know that a powerful army was approaching the town in the dark, and they were the vanguard of the Nanchuan Army's Exploding Bear Army.

The boots creaked and creaked when they stepped on the snow, and the cold weather made the battle armor icy cold. The Vanguard Banner Troop led by Gang Yu rushed all the way in the dark night, heading straight for Kaoshan Town.

This is a troop that marched in silence. The team lined up in two columns like long black snakes. Except for panting and the clash of weapons, the whole team didn't make any noise, which showed their good military discipline.

After Gang Yu and the others arrived within two miles of the backing town, they slowed down their progress, and those agile scouts had already moved towards the town first.

On the outskirts of the town, the Han Navy has deployed some cavalry patrols. They are living targets in the snow-capped wilderness, and they can be seen from a distance.

Nanchuan's elite scouts touched it silently, and quickly eliminated Han Haijun's cavalry patrol team, and then the large troops behind quickly approached and lay down in the snow to hide.

Gang Yu lay at the front, his saber glowing coldly out of its sheath, and when he looked around, the whole town was a huge black shadow, which he couldn't see clearly.

The town runs from east to west, and their current location is on the west side of the town. The Hanhai people have built a simple stable on the west side, and there are quite a few horses neighing from time to time.

Near the west gate of the town, two bonfires were lit, and they were burning cracklingly. More than 20 Hanhai soldiers were warming up around the fire, not noticing that the danger was approaching.

"You take three teams of thousands to block the east exit, and this time we'll have a one-shot."

After Gang Yu finished observing, he slid down from the ridge, and lowered his voice to give instructions to the leader of the Pioneer Banner who was following him.

The leader of Pioneer Banner nodded without saying a word, and walked towards the east exit of Kaoshan Town with the cat lying on his body to beckon the staff to follow him.

"You thousand-man team, control the stables for me first. If the Hanhai cavalry lose their horses, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Don't let them run away."

The Commander-in-Chief who received the order nodded and remembered his mission.

The snowflakes were still falling, the weather was getting colder, Gang Yu's face was flushed with cold, he rubbed his numb hands, guessing that the people to block the east should be in place, he clenched his saber tightly, raised his hand and slammed Press forward.

The Nanchuan soldiers nestled in the snow immediately took action, pressing towards the backer in a dense mass.

The Hanhai Sentinel, who was sitting around the gate warming up the fire, heard the sound of footsteps coming from the darkness, immediately became alert, grabbed the weapon leaning against the wall, stared into the darkness and asked, "Who is it?!"

Whoosh whoosh—

The Nanchuan warrior who was running at the front raised his hand and pulled the Nulian crossbow. The sharp short arrow roared out and pierced into the chest of the Hanhai sentinel.

Facing the sudden attack, the Hanhai Sentinel hadn't reacted yet, and they fell to the ground with arrows one after another. Their bodies rolled into the fire, sparks splashed, and their clothes instantly burned. jump up.

This was a surprise attack. After entering the town, the Nanchuan soldiers no longer had to hide their whereabouts. Under the leadership of their respective officers, they directly kicked open the closed door and entered with their swords upright.

The Hanhai cavalry chased and killed the rebel army for a day, and they were exhausted. They had already fallen asleep at this moment, and they were all awakened when they heard the bang sound of the door being kicked open.

But they were all awakened, and then the sharp sword cut down, blood spattered, and the shrill scream pierced the tranquility of the night sky. This was a one-sided killing.

The unsuspecting Hanhai cavalry went to meet King Hades in their sleep, and the whole town was filled with screams and the sound of weapons colliding. Faced with the Nanchuan Army's surprise attack, Hanhaijun obviously reacted a little slower.

The Hanhai cavalry didn't even think about who would dare to surprise them, so their vigilance was lax, because the rebels in the nearby area were beaten up by them and it was too late to escape, and it was impossible to counterattack back.

It was because of the carelessness of the Hanhai cavalry that they paid a heavy price. Facing the Nanchuan soldiers who had been trained for more than a year, the Hanhai cavalry wanted to resist, but found that the resistance was so weak.

Some Hanhai officers tried to break out and go to the stables, but the steel feathers had already been arranged, and the stables had already been occupied, and these Hanhai cavalrymen were chopped down one by one in a pool of blood.
