Country color

Chapter 319 Handsome Flag
The bombing camp, also known as the surprise camp, is the most feared thing in the army, especially after going through day-to-day battles, seeing countless robes killed in battle, the psychological pressure of soldiers, especially the pressure in the hearts of recruits who have just entered the battlefield. When it comes to the border, the less organized and trained the army is, the easier it is to happen.

Fear is the most contagious thing. The Khitan Xi people formed an army hastily, without strict military discipline, they collapsed as soon as they entered the camp.

After hearing the news that the chiefs of the three tribes of the Xi clan had fled and the camp was in chaos, Da He Duo Luo and the Khitan generals looked at each other's faces. If they could write on their faces, they must be thinking that the situation is gone.

Not reconciled!If everyone works together, there is a chance of winning tomorrow, and the Khitans will still have a chance of winning before Li Chongjiu's main cavalry arrives.But Xi Ren's short-sightedness made this situation impossible.

All the Khitan people held up their knives and angrily scolded the Xi clan for their cowardice and treachery, and at the same time looked at Da He Duo Luo, hoping that there could be some way.

What about Khan?
Da He Duoluo glanced at these brave generals, he thought to himself that our Khitan soldiers are not inferior to anyone in terms of bravery, but why they can only live in the bitter cold place of Bailangshui.

I just want to use my sword and the plow for future generations to seize a piece of arable land. The Khitan people can also be like the Han people. They can't worry about food. Every time the extra children don't have to be born, they are drowned in the cold water. Everyone I can eat well, dress warmly, and live forever, am I wrong?
Dahe Duoluo took a deep breath, his white beard trembled slightly, and the sheepskin robe on his chest was bloodstained scarlet. Suddenly he stood up, knelt down to Yi Lijin of the Khitan Eight Division, and said: "I'm sorry for the Khitan Division, I am sorry to the hundred thousand Khitans who followed me here, we have lost this battle!"

Lian Guan was proud and arrogant, Khan Da He Duo Luo said that his son Da He Mo would stab the knife into the ground, and the rest of the people all knelt and sat silently, and a few of them wiped their tears silently.

The uproar followed one after another, and suddenly the battle drums rang out on the opposite mountain, the gate of the Han army barracks was opened wide, and the whole army was dispatched.

Seeing the Xi people bombing the camp and fleeing, the drums of the Han army were beating, and the butter torches were lit. Looking from a distance, they flickered like sparks.The Han army took the lead in chasing and attacking the camp of the Xi clan. The Khitan general looked from the mountain, and saw horses' hooves rolling in the dark, and could be seen everywhere in the light of the fire.

However, because the Han army held butter torches in the dark night, their visibility was very low and their advance was quite slow. In this era when most people suffer from night blindness, the so-called night battle usually kills one thousand enemies and injures eight hundred.There are more people who hack their own people to death than those who watch their own people die.

Therefore, even if the Han army wanted to pursue them, they were powerless, but in a panic, Xi Ren blew up the camp by himself, but trampled on each other, like a mess of scattered sand, and even rushed into the camp of the Khitan people. followed by booing.

"timid!"

"coward!"

"We Khitans will fight to the death!"

The Khitan generals sat down one after another and drew their swords.

"Wait!" Dahe Duoluo raised his hand, and all the generals stopped.

Da He Duo Luo asked, "Where's Marquis Jingbian?"

Hou Luoyi of Jingbian and Gao Kaidao's big tent were close together, and the two armies could clearly see the chaos at the foot of the mountain.Now the three tribes of the Xi tribe bombed the camp, the patriarch fled, the eight tribes of Khitan panicked, and the camp was in chaos, but Luo Yi was the only one who ran the army strictly. No, just more sentries and torches.

But what about Luo Yi's strict military management at this time?

Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao, and the others were speechless when they saw the Xi clan soldiers in a mess at the foot of the mountain.

Gao Kaidao shook his head, and said: "There is no hope, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the three tribes of the Xi clan collapsed directly. I thought that the battle would be reversed tomorrow. Brother Luo, you can lead the 10,000+ Khitan Xi tribe , how difficult it is to defeat Li Chongjiu."

Luo Yi closed his eyes, raised his head and said to himself, "Could it be destiny?"

Gao Kaidao shook his head, and was about to speak when Luo Yi threw his fist on the ground and smashed it angrily, causing a hole in the mud on the ground by Luo Yi's fist.

Luo Yi growled and shouted: "I don't believe in fate!"

Luo Yi's eyes lit up with determination, he drew out his long sword, pointed at Li Chongjiu's army at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Li Chongjiu dared to send troops under the dark light and blind fire, such a big push is just to deceive the Khitan Xi people to be powerless to fight back. , the outcome is a five-to-five number, today I will bet on my luck with Li Chongjiu."

"Give me an order to mount the whole army and keep an eye on Li Chongjiu's commander-in-chief flag. Even if he dies, he will fall to the place facing the flag!" Luo Yi shouted loudly. After hearing the words, several generals followed suit without saying a word. .

They have been in the army for many years, and they were all single-handedly picked up by Luo Yi's own soldiers. Even if Luo Yi wants them to go up to the mountain of swords and down to the frying pan at this moment, they still regard death as home.

"Brother Gao, if I die here in battle, go back and tell Cheng'er to avenge me and go to Dou Jiande!" Luo Yi said boldly as he got on his horse.

Gao Kaidao nodded and said: "Brother Luo, take care, I will send 500 people to help you."

Luo Yi nodded, and the camp gate opened wide.

Luo Yi led [-] cavalry and marched quietly through the night.

He led [-] cavalry ahead, and then cleared the way to the point where [-] cavalry fell one mile behind.When Luo Yi led the army forward, none of the soldiers said a word, even the horses' mouths were tied up, and the order was given by whistles to indicate the direction.

In the dark night, where the torches were lit, Li Chongjiu's commander-in-chief flag stood out impressively, and Luo Yi's cavalry marched effortlessly until they approached the commander-in-chief flag.Luo Yi suddenly signaled everyone to get off their horses, firstly to raise their horsepower, and secondly to wait for the opportunity.

The three tribes of the Xi clan have now completely collapsed. Li Chongjiu led the army to turn around and start attacking the Khitan camp.

The Han army wrapped their arrows in cloth and fired them into the Khitan camp.

Arrows were flying like fires flashing in the night sky. Inside the Khitan camp, there was the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. The corpses were hanging dead on the railings, and the tents were also ignited.

In the camp, there were also Khitan soldiers running around in a panic and rushing towards the gate of the camp. As a result, all of them were stabbed and killed by the front row of the Han army.
Luo Yi saw that the Khitan people were in a mess of death, but he didn't move at all, he just held his breath and pressed the sword silently.He didn't order the soldiers to rush forward, but waited for the opportunity.

Suddenly, a brigade of soldiers beside Shuai Qi was sent forward. They were going to clean up the burned ruins in front of the camp gate, preparing to open a way for the army to enter the camp.

At this time, the defense of Shuaiqi was suddenly weak, Luo Yi's eyes sank, and he got on his horse immediately, and the Youzhou cavalry who followed were all the only remaining elites from the last Zhuojun battle.

Under Luo Yi's order, a thousand cavalrymen launched an assault towards Li Chongjiu's flag!
Li Chongjiu was looking at the Khitan army camp at the moment, he ordered his subordinates to wrap arrowheads with butter and cloth soaked in sheep oil, and shoot them into the Khitan camp.

The progress was smooth, and his face was flushed red in the blazing fire.

Just at this time, he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance. The sound of horseshoes came suddenly, and when he was advancing, it seemed that the ground sank.The sound of the horse's hooves was fast and not chaotic, not as hasty as a prairie ride, but almost rhythmic.

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes, only to see it was pitch black!
Li Chongjiu pointed his long sword in the direction of the sound of horseshoes, and said: "Blow the horn, the crossbowmen are ready, set up the formation here!"

"promise!"

With Li Chongjiu's order, three hundred crossbowmen stepped forward together.There were not many people around him, but Li Chongjiu couldn't help shrugging his back at this moment, as if being peeped by a poisonous snake from the darkness, an extremely dangerous feeling came to his heart.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer. At this time, time seemed to stop. Everyone knew that there were not many cavalry in Li Chongjiu's army, and most of the people who came here were enemy troops.

The moment the horn sounded, all the ministries involuntarily withdrew from the Khitan camp and gathered towards the handsome flag.

Li Chongjiu stared at the front with both eyes. It was still pitch black, but the sound of horseshoes was getting tighter and closer.In the dark night, although our own torches were bright, they could only illuminate within twenty paces in front of our eyes.

The three hundred crossbowmen were in a state of apprehension. In the night battle, they had no idea how many people the opponent had, how many horses they were riding, and which direction they were coming from. They couldn't judge how to shoot their arrows.But their only affirmation is that they, who are under the lights, can be seen by the enemy at a glance.
"Crossbowmen fire arrows for a round, infantry shields, Mo Daomen, and riflemen step forward!"

"promise!"

puff!
The crossbowman pulled the hanging knife, there was a sound of machine guns, and the arrow shot towards the dark place. There were several neighing sounds from the opponent, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Everyone's faces were first happy and then surprised. It was because they didn't shoot in the air, and they were startled by the sound of the hooves of the opponent's horses, which meant that there were only a few horsemen rushing ahead, and more horses hid in the night. This is the rush to come.

Three hundred crossbowmen stood in three rows. After the second wave and the third wave of arrows were shot, the crossbowmen squatted down.In front of the cavalry, the crossbowmen only had a chance to shoot a round of arrows, and then the shield array was erected, and a row of spears and spears were thrust out.

In the darkness, suddenly an enemy cavalry with several arrows in his body rushed out of the night, and then more cavalry broke through the night, raised their horses, and rushed out ferociously.Seeing this scene, Bu Leng raised his palms, and the hand holding the handle of the spear was already full of sweat.

boom!
A thousand armored cavalry burst into battle with all their might!
Li Chongjiu looked at this scene, drew his sword immediately, and said to the left and right: "Stick to the handsome flag, unshakable!"

In ancient battles, the commander-in-chief was the heart of the army. Just like the collapse of the bombing camp, morale had a huge negative effect on the battle. Li Chongjiu knew that when fighting in the night, once his commander-in-chief fell, all parties would have no way of judging where they were, and the army's morale would be chaotic. , the battle situation will be reversed.

And the enemy looked for the handsome flag to attack their own side, and it was for this purpose.
