When he was in a dilemma, at this time, under the light of the fire, a soldier should have been to the outside of the fortress to make a trade, and looked at the wolf beside Lin Fengjin and suddenly shouted excitedly: "This is a buddy on the prairie, yes, my own people."
Hearing this, the rest of the people's doubts were relieved, and naturally someone told Lin Fengjin that there were two ways to quickly notify the old camp, during the day is to light the wolf smoke, and it is to light a pile every 100 meters, only two piles, and at night it is to release special flag fireworks, which have to be released at the same time in a row, and the rest of the methods are wrong.
Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and sighed: "I didn't expect that when I first arrived, I would have to work as a coolie for the prince."
About half an hour later, outside the old camp of Damian Shop, which was fighting hard, two fireworks suddenly rose, and the people in the old camp immediately let out a cheer, and their morale was greatly boosted, believing that although the enemy on the opposite side did not know what was happening, they probably guessed the good news that was not beneficial to themselves.
The pressure of the siege was immediately relaxed, and then soon, the enemy's offensive was exhausted, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the dark night, and it was obvious that the large group of enemies who had come to raid had quickly withdrawn.
In fact, Lin Fengjin's guess was not wrong at all, among their strategic purposes, they had no intention of knocking down the old camp at all, Lu Yu fought locally, cut off his grain route, and it was meaningless to break his old camp, and he could quickly get it if he went to any state capital, and the purpose of attacking the old camp was to covet and transfer away the defenders of Fangcheng, who were already defending the empty Fangcheng, since the strategic purpose had been achieved, what were they doing here to go back early and join the large army.
The cavalry marches at night and still has to maintain a certain forward speed, so it must march on a wide and flat official road, which is already a matter of common sense, and the town of Damian does not belong to the area of a transportation hub, so there is only one official road through Damianpa.
Follow the official road to the south in the big face, you will go to Fangcheng, follow the official road to the northwest, the final destination is in Chaotian Chong here, there is a beacon tower in the Northern Qi here, after leaving Chaotian Chong, you will set foot on the land of Xirong.
Therefore, these retreating cavalry will not go south, otherwise they will not meet the Fangcheng reinforcements who come to help, and their choice must be to go to the direction of Chaotianchong, but just after they left the big face shop for eight miles, the forward suddenly found a very fatal thing: In front of the cavalry in front of the front, there is a river with a width of more than 20 meters, the water flow is very turbulent, if you force the crossing, most of the people will be swept away by people and horses, and the opposite bank is close to the mountains, it can be said that the terrain on the opposite side is condescending.
In fact, they took this road when they came, so they are not very unfamiliar with this terrain.
And on the bridge called Hejianian that passed ahead, obstacles were forcibly set up, three carriages were overturned horizontally on the bridge, and there was a large stone weighing at least one or two thousand catties, and the cavalry who wanted to go forward to check with torches was shot down by an arrow before they could get closer.
Immediately after that, these Xijon people discovered the viciousness of the other party, and the obstacles they set up were already very close to the exit of the opposite bridge, so if the Xijon people wanted to go over to check the obstacles or remove the obstacles, then they had to walk across most of the bridge, and then expose themselves to the range of the condescending archers on the opposite hillside, and these archers showed a fan-shaped distribution, almost no dead ends.
And if you want to fight back, you can only rush up to the bridge, at least to the middle and rear of the bridge to be able to successfully return fire, otherwise, the range is far from enough, and even if you are full of calculations, the sergeants who can walk through the middle of the bridge to launch a counterattack will definitely not exceed twenty people, and what they have to face is a salvo of an unknown number of enemies hidden in the dark And those enemies who were lying in ambush on the opposite bank of the river had already built simple fortifications, and were still hiding in the darkness, and they could not see the other party's movements at all, only the blazing fire was burning on the bridge, and it was obvious that as soon as they went up and entered the range of fire, they would inevitably become a living target Xirong's commander Inu Heida launched an attack without believing in evil, and then soon saw that his subordinates were also defeated and retreated, and although this time the temptation killed more than twenty people, and thirty or forty people on the ground did not dare to move, but the mouth was crying and shouting, and these bloodsheds and casualties did not return any valuable information.
Soon, a wounded man was carried down, looking at the long steel arrow shaft inserted in his body was still trembling, the unlucky guy's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his mouth let out a terrible scream.
Normally, the first time after the arrow is to cut off the shaft, in this way, can greatly reduce the pain of the wounded, but the commander touched it is very regrettable to find that the shaft of the arrow is made of fine iron, very hard, it is estimated that if it is broken, then the wounded have gone to half their lives Then he summoned the veteran who had just retreated when he had just charged, and said in a deep voice: "How many people are on the other side" The old soldier said with a bitter face: "I don't know, it seems that there aren't many people on the other side, and I don't even hear the sound of the bowstring."
Dog Heida was extremely anxious and walked around in place, as if it was a trapped beast with a fight, they rushed all the way lightly, seized the time of Lu Yu's expedition, and had already exerted their physical strength at a super level, and then dismounted cavalry turned into infantry to break through Lu Yu's old camp, putting great pressure on the people in the camp At the same time, their consumption was also extremely huge, galloping all the way to the present, it was the time when the spirit and spirit were consumed to the lowest point, but they were also stuck here by an unknown number of enemies, how to make people not worry "Pass the order, select the Feng battalion to dismount, eat, and launch a surprise attack after a stick of incense" Dog Heida gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of bloodshots, "We have already calculated clearly, Lu Yu has no cards in his hand, so the number of these enemy troops on the other side must not be too much, even if he takes people, he will be killed" According to Xijon's convention, the Election Battalion is a death squad composed of death row prisoners, careerists, and impatient people, but anyone who has made three meritorious contributions in the Election Camp and can survive can be forgiven.
So the risk can be imagined.
In fact, if it were possible, Inuheita would really like to throw all of his seven or eight thousand men to the front line, but what is the use of this The terrain is so vicious that those who can touch the obstacles at the head of the bridge in front of them will definitely not exceed fifteen people at full capacity, and those who can stand on the bridge and launch a counterattack against the enemy on the high mountains on both sides of the bank will definitely not exceed fifty people Therefore, Inu Heida is simply gambling on the lives of the Xuanfeng camp to bet that the other party is bluffing, and there are two possibilities for one person to stop attacking, the first is that the enemy has been killed, and the other is that the strength is exhausted, and in fact, drawing a bow is originally a physical job.
It's a pity that although Lin Fengjin brought a small number of people, the number is definitely more than Dog Heida imagined, and more importantly, among the henchmen sent by Li Hu to give New Year's gifts this time, at least four of them have the potential to be handsome, so this small staff team took this matter into account at the same time, and made a very effective targeted arrangement.
Under normal circumstances, an archer fifteen consecutive shots of the bow will be exhausted, the next day the arm will be sore, and the chopsticks held during the meal will tremble.
But the steppe people were born to grow up on horseback, and many of them used bows and arrows as toys, so they could shoot their bows and arrows up to twenty-five times in a row, note that it was continuous.
At this time, Lin Fengjin's "fanatical believers" have been divided into three hundred-person teams, and at the same time, each hundred-person team has ten tithes, all of which are based on "shi" as a unit, these thirty tithes are fan-shaped, and they are arranged on the river banks on both sides of the bridge for a long time.
After the leftmost "Shi" shoots an arrow, he sits down again and rests, and the "Shi" next to him is to open the bow and release arrows, which is a tactic that the whole front of the team undulates like a wave, or Lin Fengjin once casually mentioned to Li Hu, but he didn't expect to be used here.
The advantage of this is that almost every three seconds or so, ten sharp arrows are fired accurately from the darkness, covering an area on the bridge.
At a firing frequency of about three seconds, each archer has a full minute and a half of free time after shooting an arrow.
During this time, you can drink saliva, shake your arms, pinch your muscles, and twist your buttocks and neck.
As a result, the duration of the attack will be greatly extended, and if a soldier who can fire his bow twenty-five times in a row fights in this rotation, it is believed that it will be no problem to shoot seventy or eighty arrows.
Before this, many people thought about what it would be like if the army was built with the strict discipline of the Central Plains people and the excellent quality of the steppe people, but they all failed in the end, because the unruly character of the steppe people made them quite unsuitable for such strict discipline and orders.
And the people who try to do this are often the generals of the Central Plains who want to force the captives on the grassland like this, which is difficult to imagine.
However, Lin Fengjin's Sanli tribe clansmen are exceptions, their personal experience is: Lin Gongzi saved them and their families from the brink of death, Lin Gongzi selflessly brought them wealth, dignity, fairness, and system, and Lin Gongzi is even planning a future for their children and grandchildren
