Chapter 440: Don’t Be Fooled
The two men formulated an attack plan and ordered people to prepare the tools and procedures for attacking the camp.
Early the next morning, 15,000 cavalrymen, divided into three teams of 5,000 men each, began to attack the three camps of the Qingshui Army.
To their surprise, there was not the fierce offensive and defensive battle they had imagined.
In the Qingshui Army camp, after firing countless arrows at the beginning, they easily gave up their defense and withdrew from the camp.
The same thing happened in all three camps. Thousands of Qingshui cavalry fled south on horseback.
Fifteen thousand Tiezhen soldiers then rushed towards the city of Dadur.
The Qingshui defenders in the city continued to fight back with bows and arrows and gravel.
However, after only half an hour of defense, they resolutely abandoned the city, withdrew from the south gate, and retreated all the way south.
Pei Man led 10,000 Tiezhen light cavalry in hot pursuit.
After running ten miles, Wanyan Nahe urgently stopped him.
Pei Man looked unwillingly at the Qingshui cavalry who were gradually running away.
If he is given another quarter of an hour, he will be able to catch up with the enemy and it will be a very satisfying job to defeat the defeated army.
Unfortunately, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. If the supreme commander says stop, then we must stop.
Pei Man understood that Wanyan Nahe was very cautious and was afraid that he would be fooled by Lin Feng.
Now that we have recaptured the city, we should prepare for defense and wait for the enemy.
It is also a great achievement.
Wanyan Nahe and Pei Man rode on the streets of Dadur City, looking at the uneven houses that were not damaged.
"Haha, believe it or not, Lin Feng's chariots and heavy armored battalion are waiting for you in front."
Wanyan Nahe glanced at Pei Man and said lightly.
Pei Man nodded with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, I was reckless."
Wanyan Nahe looked around.
"Don't you think it's strange that the Qingshui Army abandoned the city?"
Pei Man sneered: "Lin Feng intends to use chariots and heavy armor to defeat our light cavalry."
"Flexibility is our strength. If we can capture this city, we will win. Don't fall for Lin Feng's tricks."
Wanyan Nahe laughed as he spoke.
"Let Lin Feng be depressed, I won't fall for his tricks, hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came galloping over on horseback.
"Report, General, a large group of Qingshui troops appeared ten miles outside the city."
Wanyan Nahe and Pei Man looked at each other and laughed.
"Look, I didn't step into his trap, and now I'm angry and embarrassed."
Wanyan Nahe waved his hand and said, "Ten thousand men will enter the city to defend it, and five thousand men will be spread out in the camp to prevent the water supply from being cut off."
His defensive measures were the same as Lin Feng's.
Immediately, all the soldiers were separated, some defending the city and some defending the camp.
Facing the approaching Qingshui army, each of them took their own positions and waited for battle.
Lin Feng led the chariot battalion and nearly 10,000 light cavalry, and advanced until they stopped three miles away from the city, looking at the city of Dadur from afar.
The city walls were already full of Tatar soldiers, ready for battle.
Zhao Shuo, standing beside him, didn't understand what was going on.
"Brother, they didn't catch up with us. The Tartar leader is quite smart."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "No matter how smart you are, you still have to drink my foot washing water."
Zhao Shuo was confused: "Brother, why are you still drinking foot washing water?"
“It’s just a metaphor.”
"Oh, shall we attack the city again?"
When Lin Qiaomei heard him say this, she rolled her eyes at him.
"You idiot, you abandoned the city and then attacked it. Do you think you are playing a game?"
Zhao Shuo glared at her in dissatisfaction.
"So how do you say we fight?"
Lin Qiaomei pouted: "I don't know either."
"Again, am I wrong to ask?"
Lin Qiaomei stopped talking.
Not only did they not understand, but the generals following Lin Feng also didn't understand what kind of fighting style this was.
They were talking to each other and guessing what Lin Feng would do next.
Lin Feng raised his hand: "What time is it now?"
Cheng Liang quickly replied, "Three quarters past midnight, General."
"Okay, everyone, please be patient. We will treat you to a grand fireworks display later."
Everyone was confused and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Feng didn't explain any more and waved his hand to give orders.
"All battle groups, chariots in front, light cavalry in the rear, prepare to attack."
Lin Qiaomei couldn't hold it in any longer and moved closer to Lin Feng.
"Brother, are you planning to use your chariot to crash into the city wall?"
"Excuting an order."
Lin Qiaomei stuck out her tongue, turned her horse's head and went to greet her subordinates.
Just when all the teams were in position, suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in a camp by the lake outside the city.
As the flames shot up into the sky, there was a dull explosion.
While everyone was stunned, fire appeared in another camp.
Explosions rang out one after another.
This time, the fire and thunder came from the city of Dadur.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and explosions were heard everywhere, accompanied by countless screams.
Lin Feng smiled and pointed at the red sky.
“Are these fireworks beautiful?”
Everyone stared blankly at the fireworks flashing across the sky with their eyes wide open and their mouths open.
Especially Nalan, there was a strange look flashing in her blue eyes.
Whether it was the Tartars in the city or the Tartars stationed in the camp, they all started to make fires and cook according to the normal time.
There is a ready-made stove in the camp, and you can cook by just putting a pot on it.
Unexpectedly, when the soldiers lit the firewood, before they added food into the pot, they suddenly heard a hissing sound.
Then there was a deafening roar.
The soldiers standing nearby were instantly plunged into darkness.
There were explosions everywhere, and the Tartar soldiers were running around, not knowing where the next explosion would be.
Wanyan Nahe and Pei Man each urgently gathered their teams.
Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers who had just gathered were blown apart, and broken limbs and blood were splattered everywhere.
There was no other choice, so Wanyan Nahe ordered all soldiers to leave the city immediately.
When the city gate opened, countless soldiers who were badly burned by the explosion rushed out of the city gate without even having time to ride their horses.
Seeing the Tartars running out of the city gate, Lin Feng waved his hand.
"charge!"
In front of the soldiers who had not yet reacted, Xie Zhong had already shouted loudly and the chariot started to move.
The light cavalry following the chariots saw this and realized that there was no point in using the chariots to lead the charge.
Lin Qiaomei, in particular, saw countless Tartars running out of the city without even a war horse.
Immediately waved his hands: "Follow me."
After saying that, he rode out on his horse.
The cavalry behind her rushed out with her, crossed the chariots, and headed straight for the Tatar group.
The Tartar soldiers were already dizzy and their heads were buzzing from the explosion.
Before he had run far out of the city, he was knocked to the ground by a warhorse charging towards him and was immediately trampled by the horse's hooves.
Wanyan Nahe and Pei Man were smarter. They led the cavalry and rushed out from the north gate.
They didn't understand what was exploding with such force.
The unknown danger made the two men forget about strategy and battlefield command and just run as fast as they could.
First, avoid these man-eating monster thunders.
After leaving the city, the two men urged their horses to gallop north.
Just as he ran less than two miles, a volley of arrows fell head-on.
Countless cavalrymen were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, while others ignored the defense and galloped away.
After the feather arrow passed, a roar was heard from not far away.
