On New Year's Eve, the wind and snow are blowing, the stars and moon are gone, and the new year is coming.

At this time, it should be a warm time for the whole family to get together to stay up to date, but not everyone stays at their homes.

In the dark wilderness, thousands of Chu infantrymen riding horses stumbling all the way and finally detoured to the northwest side of Liyang Mountain.

Normally, you have to walk this section of the road and reach it at dawn, because you walk slowly and early in winter.

But because the Chu army pieced together a large number of mules and horses to ride for soldiers wearing heavy armor, they could achieve the detour as quickly as possible.

After dismounting, the infantry gathered in the wind and snow, and did not care about the bumpy road. According to the plan, a small number of people were left to guard the horses, while the others launched an attack on the northwest foothills of Liyang Mountain, which was close to the distance.

Before the battle, I did not forget to take out my small wine pot and drink strong wine to drive away the cold.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the Qi army soldiers were probably full of wine and meals, and they were sleeping soundly in the camp, so the Chu army launched a night attack from behind at this moment, which could catch the other party off guard.

The Chu soldiers who were advancing in the dark passed through the trenches that emitted foul smell and slowly touched the Qi army camp, which was trance-lit in the front.

The back team, Wu Mingche, the marching commander who led the army to attack at night, moved a little stiffly across a trench. This was because he was wearing new turtle-shaped armor, which was inconvenient to bend over, so he was not used to it.

After crossing the trench, I suddenly stopped.

He squatted down with his waist and wanted to see the situation in the trench, but because of the influence of the "turtle shell", he could only stand up again, "bent his waist" and look at the trench under his feet that emitted a foul smell.

There is snow in the trench and dark objects, so I can't see what it is.

Wu Mingche thought about it and asked someone to insert it with a wooden stick, and then provoke it.

I carefully smelled the sticky objects on the wooden stick. In addition to smelling the odor of horse manure, there was also a special smell.

"Lamp oil... is lamp oil!" Wu Mingche shouted in a low voice, "There is lamp oil in the trench. In order to cover up the smell, they specially poured horse manure in!"

After hearing it from the left and right, I thought it was not good: this means that the other party poured a lot of lamp oil (temperature oil) into the trench.

"Send the order, pay attention..." Before Wu Mingche finished speaking, he heard the sound of horns in front of him ringing one after another, and the sound of breaking through the air was loud.

Countless arrows flew over, like raindrops, falling among the Chu soldiers attacking at night. Then, fires lit up outside the Qi army camp. After a while, countless fires flew up.

It was a large number of fire arrows, flying into the air like fireflies on a summer night, then falling to the ground, pounced on the uninvited guests and the trench where the lamp oil was tilted in advance.

Fires were erected, and fire walls rose in the trenches and then spread forward and backward, like fire snakes, entangling and dividing the attacking Chu soldiers.

In the fire, the figure of Chu soldiers was clearly visible. Behind the camp, Qi army crossbowmen had already prepared aboard the nearby mounds, and aimed at the living targets illuminated by the fire outside the camp, condescendingly, pulling the motor.

The strange wind sounded suddenly, like the whistling of the north wind, and the short arrows shot out by the powerful crossbow poured out like a heavy rain.

The crowd covered by the rain of arrows is like grass in the strong wind, constantly swaying.

On the slope of the northern foot of Liyang Mountain, Gao Changgong used a thousand-mile mirror to watch the movements in front of the camp, and looked at the Chu soldiers attacking at night, and fell into their siege.

The light and dark flames reflected on his handsome face, and a cold light appeared.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, so Gao Changgong judged that the Chu army, which had not moved before, would launch a night attack.

The other party had many mules and horses, so they could ride horses and detours, run to the north of Liyang Mountain in the dark, and attack the Qi army camp from an unexpected position.

Therefore, Gao Changgong made arrangements to let the soldiers eat and drink in advance, and to maintain their spirits, waiting at night to surprise the uninvited guests.

He estimated that the Chu soldiers must be wearing heavy armor, so he transferred thousands of crossbowmen to break the armor with strong crossbows and surprise the other party.

It's a New Year greeting.

‘I don’t know if you have the fate to see the first ray of sunshine of the New Year!’

Gao Changgong thought so, and suddenly his expression froze.

In the field of vision, in the fire, the surrounding prey flashed with cold light.

The iron armor was reflected by the Chu soldiers. Gao Changgong couldn't see the details clearly, but he felt that the iron armor was a little strange, as if it was very smooth, so it reflected the fire light like a mirror.

These grasses swaying in the strong wind did not fall down, but continued to move forward in the rain of arrows.

Russia made a loud horn, which was the Chu army blowing the horn and launching a charge.

Gao Changgong put down the Qianli Mirror in surprise, looked at the battlefield with his naked eyes, and then observed with the Qianli Mirror again.

It seems that Chu Bing is not afraid of arrows? What's going on?

......

In the fire, the Chu soldiers wearing plate armor (body armor) blocked the front with their shields and attacked forward with all their might.

There were many arrows inserted into the shield, densely packed, like a target for an arrow.

But there was no arrow on them, only a little pit.

Although they were attacked and were "washed" by waves of arrow rains, their new armor made their bodies not suffer substantial damage at all.

The arrow shot on the armor, making a "sharp, sharp" sound, but it just couldn't shoot in, like tickling it.

Today is New Year's Eve, and they are conducting night attacks, thinking that the Qi army may be prepared, so they are all wearing the strongest armor.

Facts have proved that this armor is indeed hard enough, and the soldiers' confidence has increased greatly: Since your strong bow and hard crossbow can't kill us, then you will die next!

The Chu soldiers broke through the burying trenches, like evil ghosts crawling out from under the nine springs, and tried hard to approach the Qi army camp.

The arrows shot on the armor and helmets, and they could not feel the pain at all. The people who were fearless gradually approached the Qi army camp ahead.

Some people even took out the wine pot again and poured all the remaining spirits into their stomachs.

The distance between them and the camp is shortening, fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps...

Suddenly, a large number of burning pots flew out of the camp and landed in the crowd, igniting many people.

But the flames did not burn the Chu soldiers' courage, but made their fighting spirit even higher.

Before the war, they drank strong wine, so they neither felt cold nor afraid. They continued to approach the Qi army camp despite the increasing casualties.

The distance is getting closer, fifteen steps, ten steps...

The Qi army's crossbowmen kept firing arrows, but were surprised to find that there were not many fallen Chu soldiers. Even the arrows shot by the powerful crossbows, the target still advanced after hitting the target.

It was as if the arrows on our side could not penetrate the opponent's armor at all.

At this moment, the approaching Chu soldiers also began to bend their bows and arrows.

They shot heavy arrows from close range, shooting Qi army crossbowmen with heavy casualties.

The Qi soldiers who were waiting for the rabbit did not expect that the Chu soldiers were so crazy. They were not afraid of arrows without avoiding them, and were blinded by shooting. Without the effective suppression of the crossbowmen, they could not stop the Chu soldiers from approaching the camp.

Even if you can't even show up for too long, otherwise you will be shot into the face by an arrow and killed on the spot.

When the Chu soldiers arrived outside the camp, some people began to destroy the camp with big axes, and then rushed into the camp from the break.

The nearby Qi soldiers organized a counterattack on the spot, trying to "block the mouth", but they were soon shot down by a new round of heavy arrows.

The surviving person was chopped over by the Chu soldiers who rushed in front of him, and the defense line collapsed instantly.

Not long after, more soldiers of Qi arrived and rushed towards the gaps that appeared in the camp.

They lit a large amount of porcelain jars filled with lamp oil again, and then threw them towards the Chu soldiers who were entering the trough.

Many Chu soldiers were ignited and turned into firemen.

In the fire, the iron armor on the Chu soldiers flashed with cold light, and they continued to attack regardless of the casualties.

At the same time, a large number of tinea bottles were thrown out with teeth. Chu Bing's tinea bottles burned more violently, and the burning tinea sputtered everywhere became more viscous.

Soon, the blooming sparks ignited the coming Qi soldiers, and the spreading fire directly led to the collapse of the Qi soldiers.

The congestion at the gap was much lessened, and the Chu infantry that broke through the gate attacked the depths of the camp like a flood that broke through the dike.

The Qi army's second counterattack was soon reorganized, and it was necessary to defeat the enemy who would attack in the future with its superior force.

The close forces were connected, and the hand-to-hand combat broke out quickly. The Chu soldiers wearing plate armor (body armor) were not afraid of Qi soldiers at all in close combat, and did not avoid slashing or spearing, and directly crashed into the crowd.

With the team's assault formation, they rushed and quickly defeated the Qi army and forcibly advanced dozens of steps into the camp.

But the Qi army quickly organized a new round of offensives, invested more troops, and launched a counterattack.

Qi Bing found that the "tortoise shell" that Chu Bing wore was very solid. After suffering a great loss, he quickly changed his strategy and began to use blunt weapons to attack Chu Bing's head, or find ways to trip people up.

Trip the person and then smash the head with a blunt weapon.

Hand-to-hand combat broke out again. Faced with more and more enemies, the Chu soldiers who broke into the camp gradually fell into a siege, and the teams collapsed one after another, turning into bloody melee.

But Chu Bing gritted his teeth and resisted, and soon reorganized the formation, maintained a front line, and blocked Qi Bing's counterattack.

As more and more soldiers gathered, the Chu soldiers threw turbulent oil bottles again and ignited the crowd.

Taking advantage of the retreat of Qi soldiers, the Chu soldiers also retreated, dragging the bodies of the dead comrades back, and then reorganizing the team to organize defense.

In the rear, Wu Mingche, who entered the Qi camp, ordered an arrow to be fired, and a large number of fire arrows were shot out by archers and fell into the Qi army camp along the north wind.

At the same time, the Chu soldiers brought all the tincture oil they brought in was splashed in the camp and then began to set fire.

A long wall of fire appeared on the northwest side of the Qi army camp, and the fire took advantage of the wind and burned southward.

Because it was arson in the camp, the fire spread quickly. Together with the camp tent ignited by the fire arrow, the north side of the camp gradually turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the burning area became larger and larger.

This is the real purpose of the Chu army's night attack: setting fire on the Qi camp in the wind and burning the entire Liyang Mountain camp with fire attack.

Otherwise, the night attack of infantry soldiers with disadvantaged forces would not be able to cause a large number of injuries to the camp of tens of thousands of people.

Wu Mingche and his subordinates stood on the wind, watching the spectacular scene of Chi Yan and Zhang Tian, ​​smiling.

Even if you have countless soldiers and horses, you can only escape in panic!
