Chapter 1046 Withdraw!
Night attack is an ancient tactic. Due to the dark night, it is difficult for technical weapons to fully exert their power, and it is difficult for the army to command, communicate, and coordinate.

When one's own troops are less than the enemy's or their weapons are inferior to the enemy's, night attack tactics are the preferred tactics to defeat the enemy. In the dark night, advanced weapons will not be effective due to the limitation of vision. Instead, melee combat will play a big role. Cold weapon.

In the history of modern warfare, the Chinese army has carried forward the night attack tactics because of its inferior weapons. Whether it is against the Japanese or the Americans, this tactic has been tried and tested.

Now, facing the absolute disadvantage and the dilemma of being unable to resist the Qin army's front in any case during the day, Nurhachi decided to launch a night attack tactic. Through the night victory, he reversed the day's decline, stabilized the battle situation, and at the same time stabilized the morale of the army and stimulated the depressed morale.

The successive defeats during the day made the morale of the Jianzhou army very bad. They were about to lose the will to continue fighting, and just before, when the envoy sent by Chu Ying said the peace terms, Nurhachi felt bad eyes.

He immediately killed the emissary to extinguish this thought that shouldn't exist, but that look still left him with lingering fear.

He ruled Jianzhou by relying on his prestige and military exploits. Only he can understand what this look means. He knows that in a tribe where the strong are respected, once his prestige disappears, his rule will no longer exist. exists.

Jianzhou is still in the era of tribalism and has not yet evolved into the era of political power. There is no such thing as legitimacy or righteousness. State, there may be major changes at any time.

At this moment, a hearty victory is urgently needed to restore the situation. If he wins, he will regain the trust of the Jianzhou people and continue to be the leader of his own state. No one can shake his position, but if he loses ...

Everything will be completely over.

This is beyond doubt.

Nurhachi can't afford to lose, he really can't afford to lose.

Therefore, he decided to attack at night, took Fei Yingdong with him, left Fei Yanggu in the central army, and led [-] warriors to attack the camp of the Qin army at night.

There is no need for a big victory, as long as he can achieve a little result, he can go back and publicize the victory and stabilize the morale of the army, and his goal will be achieved.

Now he doesn't even dare to think about winning, he just wants to fight a tie and grab a few heads back so that the clansmen will know that he is still him, that he is still the most powerful warrior.

This army set off quietly in the dark, and the troops and horses had done a good job of silencing the sound, so as to limit the sound to the maximum, so that they could not react and were attacked successfully.

The night was dark, and the Jianzhou Army advanced quietly. When they reached the position where they could observe the Qin Army's camp, they only saw the fire in the Qin Army's camp and a few night patrol soldiers coming and going.

Well, this is the most normal. If there is no soldier at the gate, he will wonder whether the Qin army has been prepared.

Because this is also in line with the practice of the Qin army. Han people are very good at military tactics and pay attention to night vigil. Nurhachi dare not underestimate these enemies who have defeated him several times.

"Qin Jun probably didn't expect us to come to sneak attack. They would come to sneak attack at night after losing the battle in the daytime. They must not have expected it. Let's go! Catch them off guard! This way we can turn the situation around!"

Fei Yingdong clenched the weapon in his hand excitedly.

Nurhachi nodded, and was about to speak, but a chill suddenly passed through his heart.

No, no, shouldn't, something seems wrong...

Seems too quiet?

He took a closer look at the Qin army camp, because the fire was limited and the distance was far away, so he could only see the outline. No matter how he looked at this outline, he felt that something was wrong. His intuition told him that there was something tricky here. , you can't go all out, or you will regret it.

He didn't know why he had such an intuition, but this intuition came about like this, he frowned tightly, and suddenly didn't know if he should give an order.

If the order is given, there is fear of an ambush, and the Qin army is so sharp, how can it be unprepared for the night?Even if they defeated themselves during the day, they shouldn't have the strength to fight back. If they attack rashly, are they already prepared?

If you don't issue an order, how can you recover from this decline?

If they attack like this, they will lose all their troops in a few days, and then their own family will suffer disaster, and the entire Jianzhou Jurchen will be over.

He hesitated again.

"Fight or not?"

Seeing Nurhachi's confused face, Fei Yingdong was anxious and asked questions quickly.

Nurhachi looked at Fei Yingdong, struggling.

"I'm worried that Qin's army is on guard. Think about it. They have always been so strict in marching and camping. How could they not prevent us from engaging in night raids? I always feel that something is wrong here. Don't you think it's too quiet here? ?"

Fei Yingdong blinked his eyes and looked around. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything. He calmed down and felt carefully, as if he really couldn't hear any sound. It seemed that the surrounding area was really too quiet.

Quiet is kind of scary.

Fei Yingdong looked at Nurhachi with some doubts.

"It seems to be the same. The Han people have always been very cunning. Are they just waiting for us to attack at night? What should we do? Should we fight?"

It was Nurhachi who had to make the decision. Nurhachi frowned and thought for a moment.

"Why don't we send a team to test it first? If there is an ambush, we will retreat. If there is no ambush, we will continue to attack. Anyway, the Han people in the middle of the night will not be able to chase us, will they?"

Seeing that Nurhachi had difficulty making a choice, Fei Yingdong gave him an opinion.

When Nurhachi thought about it, he thought it was right and made sense, so he nodded and planned to send a team of 500 people to check the situation. If there was any change, he would just retreat.

With this in mind, Nurhachi sent one of his cronies and 500 people to sneak forward, intending to sneak in and attack the Qin army camp, and go in and start a killing spree.

He watched the team of 500 people slowly approaching the Qin army camp from a safe place behind, and then...

For a split second, Nurhachi didn't even see where the fire came from, and then screams rang out, and Nurhachi saw countless lit torches thrown from all directions to the feet of the 500-man team, and then the firecrackers exploded. The sound kept ringing, and the screams were very ear-piercing.

Seeing this scene, Nurhachi didn't stop at all, and ran back immediately.

"withdraw!"

Fei Yingdong didn't stop for a while, and immediately ran back with Nurhachi.

He worried that if he ran slower, he would die here.

The continuous sound of firecrackers, screams and screams intertwined with each other, like a note of death, made him continue to speed up and run back, even before the horse had time.

Thankfully, Qin Jun only cared about the five hundred unlucky ones, and they escaped unscathed.

The battle ended soon, and Ma Chong walked towards Luo Rong who was directing the cleaning of the battlefield with a dissatisfied face.

"Lao Luo, what's going on? Not their main force?"

Luo Rong's face was also very ugly. The ambush he personally commanded only killed two or three kittens. Of course he would not be very satisfied. The original plan was to kill Nurhachi's main force of the night attack. They thought Nurhachi At least 500 troops will be brought to the night attack, and the statistics show that there are only [-] people.

This made Chu Ying, who insisted that there must be a big harvest tonight, feel very embarrassed.
