The last three kingdoms

Chapter 618

If the Xianbei people's first wave of attack still pays attention to a little sneak attack, then the second wave of attack will completely become a strong attack. In the darkness, I don't know how many cavalry arrays the Xianbei people have dispatched, and the offensive is like a tide. Pounced on the Shu army camp.

According to the prior agreement, if the enemy's night attack reaches a certain intensity, Zhong Lang, who is on guard at night, will be able to send out a higher-level warning signal and call all the infantry regiments to fight. When there was no end in sight, the deputy general said to Gao Yuan worriedly: "General Gao, the Xianbei people have a lot of background this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them because of our tiger's footsteps. Should we warn the general?" gone?"

Gao Yuan shook his head, this is the third day after entering the Hexi corridor, and there is still a long way to go before reaching Guzang. Before the first army arrived in Guzang, it was already exhausted.Liu Yin's reason for arranging rotations is to allow most of the soldiers in the entire army to get a full rest at night, and to save as much energy and stamina as possible for the decisive battle. The previous Xianbei cavalry could not see how many they were in, but they had not yet reached the tiger's step. At the limit of the left camp, Gao Yuan didn't want to alarm the whole army at this time.

With the cooperation of bows and arrows and Yuanrong crossbow, an airtight defense line is formed. As long as any creature steps into this defense line, it may be crushed. Terrifying the power of killing and cutting, they launched round after round of fierce offensives, but they still failed to break through the defense line of the Shu army.

"You played well!" There was a soft admiration sound from behind, and Gao Yuan was startled. When he looked back, it was Liu Yin. With such a big commotion outside, it was impossible for Liu Yin to continue to sleep , when nothing happened, he got up immediately.Since the march, Liu Yin has always been puzzled by his clothes and armor, so when the Xianbei people launched the second wave of attacks, Liu Yin had already appeared on the first line of defense.

The first time Gao Yuan met Liu Yin was when he served as Habayashi Zhonglang General. At that time, Liu Yin joined the army for the first time as a small Habayashi Lang. Standing at a height beyond his reach, Gao Yuan felt that his authority was growing, and his heart was filled with awe.

"The last general has seen the general." Gao Yuan said respectfully.

Liu Yin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention, and just directed the battle.

The Xianbei people's night attack ability is average. Facing the iron wall of the Shu army, they seem to have not found an effective way to break through the defense. Although the offensive of the Xianbei people is still so sharp, it is like moths to the flame. How much did you lose.

Liu Yin is very clear. This is a tentative attack by the Xianbei people. They dare not launch a full-scale attack easily this time. , only one battalion, I'm afraid it's really not an opponent.

Secondly, in the dark, the power of the Xianbei cavalry is greatly reduced, which is the fundamental reason why the Xianbei cavalry has never been able to break through the Shu army's defense line.

Next, the Xianbei people should have withdrawn their troops on their own initiative, Liu Yin thought secretly.Sure enough, after persisting for another stick of incense, the offensive of the Xianbei people stopped abruptly, and the menacing Xianbei people were so silent when they left.

Gao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, persisted for a whole night, and finally held on, which made him very pleased. With the strength of a battalion, he blocked the crazy attack of the Xianbei people. Although there were other reasons for it, the Hubu battalion For combat power, even Liu Yin is quite sure of it, and he really has no regrets about the name of the First Infantry Battalion.

Of course, in order to prevent the Xianbei people from leaving and returning, Gao Yuan ordered Hubu Zuoying not to relax and continue to stand firm.

However, until dawn, the Xianbei people never appeared again, but the corpses of those Xianbei people were clearly visible. Since the places where the corpses fell were within the range of bows and arrows and crossbows, since the Xianbei people had decided to retreat, then It proves that they have no intention of fighting, let alone take away their dead companions.

According to visual inspection, there are at least thousands of Xianbei corpses scattered around the camp of the Shu army. This shows that the number of cavalry that the Xianbei launched a night attack is also extremely large, at least more than Gao Yuan thought.

If Gao Yuan had seen the real strength of the Xianbei people during the fight, he might have retreated, but it was difficult to distinguish the number of enemies in the dark, and the ignorant would be fearless.

When other Zhonglang generals congratulated Gao Yuan one after another, Gao Yuan also responded with a smile: "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke."

Liu Yin knew very well that the Xianbei people would never be willing to fail, they would make a comeback soon, and the power of the attack would never be less than this time.

The failure of the night attack will definitely remind the Xianbei people that this is not the path they are good at. Then, the Xianbei people will definitely use their own superior attack methods, and will undoubtedly choose to attack during the day.

The biggest advantage of cavalry against infantry is that they can remain invincible. They have the right to choose when to attack and when to end the battle, as if they are the masters of this grassland desert. However, in their eyes, the infantry troops of the Han people are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

However, through this night battle, the Xianbei people discovered that this was not the case at all. It is true that the infantry has poor maneuverability and slow speed. They are all hidden behind the tortoise shell, and it is difficult to cause any substantial damage to them. It is difficult for Xianbei people to break through such a defense system, and they would recognize it if it was just a tortoise shell, but this tortoise shell is not Very safe, like thorns growing all over his body, once he gets close to the target, he will be wounded all over his body.

Marching in the Gobi is an extremely boring thing. Except for the monotonous yellow that can no longer be monotonous, it is the endless sandstorm. When will the Xianbei people appear.

Not fighting is also a kind of torment. Knowing that there is an enemy watching, it is even more torturous to see no trace of it. The current Shu army can only advance in the torment.
