Chapter 300 Night Raid
Xu Zuyin guarded the border for decades and fought against the Quanrong no less than a hundred times.
From an ordinary soldier to the top leader of Beirong Pass, he gained not only scars but also experience in dealing with the Quanrong.
The most annoying thing about the Quanrong is that if they can defeat them, they will enter the pass to rob people and food, and if they cannot defeat them, they will run back to the grassland and hide.
The grasslands are vast and often uninhabited for hundreds of miles. If they want to march straight in with the troops inside the pass, the logistics supply cannot keep up.
The Quanrong did have fixed cities, but they were too far away from their Beirong Pass.
The Quanrong attacked them one city at a time in order.
They don't need to bring any food or straw. As long as they win the battle, the food and people in the previous city will all be their supplies.
Even if we lose the battle, it doesn't matter. The Quanrong are all cavalry and good at hunting, so they won't starve to death on the grassland.
Because of this, the Quanrong would cause trouble every now and then. When the imperial court took them seriously, they would say that they were bandits and would not admit that they were their own army.
Although the troops Xiao Yuan brought this time were small in number, they were all elite.
The supplies were particularly abundant, and Xu Zuyin wanted to have a good fight to vent his anger.
It would be best if we could capture the Quanrong royal court.
Although the Quanrong people ate raw meat and drank blood and their handicrafts were extremely underdeveloped, the amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their royal court was no less than that of the Jin, Nanzhao and other countries.
The Quanrong do not produce jewelry; they are just jewelry transporters.
The Quanrong people, both soldiers and civilians, were full-time bandits. They not only harassed the Dajin, but also robbed any country and caravan they could reach.
This King of the Quanrong was particularly corrupt when he was young. During the worst years, no caravans sold any goods to the Quanrong.
As a result, they were out of salt and tea bricks for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the people were exhausted without salt, he would have continued to commit suicide.
Xu Zuyin's great idea hit Xiao Yuan's heart.
That damn prince actually dared to think about his wife, and died without letting him take revenge, so he was still furious.
It’s just right to call him back home.
Didn't Jin Zekang say that if the Quanrong wanted to form an alliance with the Jin Dynasty, it should let Tosai's mother go?
He thought this was a good idea, and if the concubine still had her charm, she should be able to sell it.
Xu Zuying had no idea that Xiao Yuan had so many dark thoughts in his mind. He was just glad that the one who came to supervise the army this time was this Marquis of Zhenguo.
For all the generals guarding the border, the military governors sent by the court were the most annoying type of people.
The people who don't care about anything and just eat, drink, have fun and live a life of drunkenness and sleeplessness are the least worrying.
What I’m afraid of is those people who are complacent and eager for quick success and instant benefits.
When it comes to war, an amateur directing an expert is undoubtedly digging one's own grave.
He was not afraid of bad people plotting evil, but he was afraid of fools suddenly having an idea. Sometimes he even wished that the commander-in-chief had been bribed by the Quanrong people.
After all, there are traces of bad deeds, but stupid deeds are hard to guard against.
After discussing countermeasures, the two began to act separately.
Xiao Yuan selected twenty of his trusted men and together with him, Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei, they attacked the enemy camp in the middle of the night and set fire to it.
Xu Zuyin selected 500 elite soldiers to ambush outside the city, and rushed in as soon as the fire broke out.
At this time, the benefits of having a city wall became apparent.
The Quanrong's tents were all painted with tung oil to prevent water leakage, so they would crackle quickly when burned.
Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei were both in a worse state. While others were burning their tents, they rushed to the horse ranch.
Liu Xu didn't hand over the Kaitian Lei to Jiang Xinyu, so he had stored a lot of them in the space. He threw them into the stable, and the loud noise was the most deadly compared to the killing power.
Not only did all the horses run wildly, but even the dog soldiers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, thinking that the gods were angry.
This kneeling was equivalent to blocking the horse's way, and many dog dragon soldiers were killed in an instant when the horse's hooves trampled on them.
Bao Beibei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Superstition is good, he is very good at it.
Thinking of this, she created several lightning bolts in mid-air. No matter whether they struck anyone or not, the blue lightning bolts looked quite mysterious.
Jiang Xinyu cooperated tacitly with Lightning to throw away the thunder. This time the effect of the god's anger was even more perfect, and more and more Quanrong soldiers knelt down and kowtowed.
It is said that the lower the level of people, the more ignorant they are. The generals of the Quanrong killed countless people and even ate human flesh. They didn't care about gods or not.
He whipped the soldiers with his whip and yelled at them to hurry up and put out the fire.
This must be a conspiracy of the Dajin people.
Even if the gods are angry, so what? They are the gods of the Great Jin Dynasty and have no power over the Quanrong warriors.
If they could kill the people of Dajin, they could overthrow the gods of Dajin.
Only their wolf god is the greatest, and the Quanrong warriors should not bow to a foreign god.
Bao Beibei and Jiang Xinyu smiled at each other.
I was just worried about not finding the leader. Isn't it obvious? What are you waiting for? Chop him up!
Bao Beibei chopped down three people in succession, and Jiang Xinyu took advantage of the chaos to kill two of them with water arrows.
However, Xiao Yuan had already blown the whistle and they could only retreat westward.
Next is the home court of the Jin army. The scene is too chaotic and the superior martial arts skills are not an advantage.
In the midst of chaos and disorder, it would be a great loss if you were accidentally injured by a stray arrow.
The two of them got out quickly and in time, and Xiao Yuan was relieved to see that his wife was safe and sound.
The two were running too fast for him to catch up, and when he saw the war horses getting in trouble, he was afraid that his wife would be trampled by the horses.
Tonight's sneak attack was a three-stage operation.
First, Xiao Yuan and his men sneaked in and set fire to the enemy camp to cause chaos, followed by further attacks by 500 elite soldiers led by Liu Xu and several guerrilla generals.
Finally, Xu Zuying led a large force to pursue the victory.
The first two waves of this three-stage sneak attack are the most dangerous, but there is no other way.
The sound of horse hooves was too loud. If the enemy camp had not been in chaos, they would have been discovered as soon as they left the city gate.
Only by creating enough time difference can you catch the opponent off guard. Of course, if the connection is not good, the first two waves will be just food for the enemy.
Liu Xu knew that Bao Beibei, as the first echelon, had been anxious for a long time. When he saw the flames rising to the sky, he immediately led his men to gallop away on horseback.
By the time Bao Beibei and his men withdrew from the enemy camp, before the enemy could react, Dajin's elite troops arrived.
These 500 men used the best horses in the city, with spikes tied to the bottom of their legs.
The elite soldiers and fierce horses caused wailing wherever they passed, and trampled to death or injured countless Quanrong people.
The Quanrong army was caught off guard at first, but now they had reacted. Some of them had already mounted their horses and were fighting with the Dajin army.
As more and more dog troops were thrown into the battle, Dajin's charge gradually lost its advantage. Just when the battle was getting tense, the follow-up troops arrived.
The deafening shouts and sounds of gongs and drums were so overwhelming that no one knew how many people were on the other side.
War is all about momentum.
The Inu Rong people are warlike but not fearless. Seeing that the enemy is about to launch a general attack, they dare not continue fighting.
He ran, he chased, he couldn't escape even if he had wings.
Xu Zuyin led his men to chase for more than 50 miles, and when they counted the number of people, they found that they had a total of more than 3,000 people, but they had captured nearly 2,000 of the enemy.
Fortunately, several hundred people had been injured by the horses and could not move, and fortunately it was dark at that time and the other side did not know their background.
Otherwise, considering that the physical fitness of the dogs is half that of the Dajin people, they may not be able to control this group of captives.
