Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 283 Night Battle

Hu Jincai followed Xie Zhong and saw that he looked a little nervous, then smiled.

"Thank you, General. There are only two thousand Tartars. The boss only brought five hundred men and was able to defeat them."

Xie nodded: "I know this. I was there at the time."

"Oh, I forgot about that. Let's find a place to get ready, shall we?"

"Okay, I think the gentle slope we just passed is good. What do you think, Brother Hu?"

"Yeah, you're worthy of being the boss's follower. You have good vision."

Xie Zhong glanced at him and said, "Don't let me get carried away by your flattery. We are at war."

"Hahaha, relax, I'm just here to deliver food."

Xie Zhong took a deep breath and said, "Turn around, follow closely, don't fall behind."

The place was chosen and it was getting dark.

Xie Zhong ordered the soldiers to install the chariots early, and then a thousand soldiers dismounted and rested around the chariots.

He quietly pulled Hu Jincai aside.

"Brother Hu, look, the Tartars are charging towards us. Can I first use bows and arrows to launch a two-round ranged attack, and then have the chariots charge into the enemy camp?"

"That's right, we should just play the same way as the boss."

"Well, in order to reduce losses, should we send people to dig some pits in front of the position first?"

Hu Jincai pointed at his forehead.

"You, boy, have the demeanor of our boss. You are a talented general."

Xie Zhong pushed him embarrassedly.

"Please give me some suggestions instead of just agreeing with me all the time."

Hu Jincai spread his hands and said, "Alas, the boss won't let me speak. He wants you to command the battle independently."

Xie Zhong looked towards the castle.

"Boss is so kind to us. He's always careful. If we don't win this battle, how can we still live?"

"Bah, what are you talking about? Who knows how to fight at the beginning? Even the boss can't do it."

"No, Boss can do it."

"Alright, alright, let the soldiers dig the pit."

Xie Dian nodded and turned to find the messenger.

Nalan chased until it was almost dark before he received the report from the cavalry.

It was said that ahead was a thousand cavalrymen of the Qingshui Army, who had already set up camp more than fifty miles away.

Nalan looked up at the sky.

I was thinking in my mind whether I should take down the opponent in one go or wait until daybreak.

The four bronze-armored warriors following behind Nalan were all experienced warriors.

They are all very sensitive to the battlefield.

Seeing Nalan hesitating, a man in bronze armor hurried forward.

"Sir, we are not good at fighting at night. It is better to wait until daybreak to disperse them."

Nalan turned his head and glared at the man in bronze armor.

"Do I need your guidance? It's not even dark yet. We can cover fifty miles in less than two quarters of an hour. We should take advantage of their precarious position and crush them in one fell swoop."

"Sir, but..."

"No buts, get all the cavalry to follow closely and crush them."

After saying this, he waved his hand and rushed forward.

The bronze-armored Tartar turned to the other three bronze-armored soldiers and shrugged helplessly.

What that means is, it’s better not to persuade.

Having given the order, no soldier dared to hesitate, and they all urged their horses to gallop forward following Nalan.

The soldiers sent by Xie Zhong had just dug half of the hole when they felt the ground begin to shake.

Knowing that the Tatar cavalry is coming.

The leading general hurriedly ordered his soldiers to withdraw to their positions.

When Xie Zhong heard that the Tartars were coming, he was also confused.

Isn’t it said that the Tartars are not good at fighting at night?

"Come on, archers in the front, await orders, chariots ready to charge."

Rows of archers came to the front of the battle on horseback and formed up into formations.

At the command, they bent their bows, drew their arrows, faced forward, and waited attentively.

Xie Chongti rode forward a few steps, looked into the dark distance, and waited quietly for the arrival of the Tartar cavalry.

The ground shook more and more violently.

In the distance, a dark figure was moving forward quickly.

When they came into range, Xie Zhong waved.

"Fire arrows!"

“Bang, bang, bang…”

A series of bowstrings sounded, and countless arrows soared into the air, drew an arc in the sky, and fell directly into the Tatar cavalry.

Nalan took the lead and reached the highest speed.

A large array of soldiers can be seen ahead. All we have to do is rush over and kill them with our swords.

Immediately afterwards, countless arrows fell, and many Tatars fell off their horses.

It was instantly trampled into pieces by the war horses.

No one exclaimed, they just kept their heads down and rushed forward.

Nalan slowed down his horse slightly, waiting for the warhorse behind to catch up.

Then he shouted loudly: "Charge forward and kill!"

Countless cavalrymen responded loudly and urged their horses to charge forward desperately.

After firing two rounds of arrows, Xie Zhong quickly ordered the archers to retreat.

Chariot charge.

The huge chariot pulled by four war horses rumbled and began to accelerate as it rushed down the gentle slope.

Xie Zhong ordered the cavalry to follow behind the chariot and began to use crossbows to snipe the charge speed of the Tatar cavalry.

The dug pits caused the Tatars to overturn dozens of war horses again.

But it did not affect the charge of the large force too much.

Mainly because there is no time to dig more holes.

The next moment, the chariot rushed down the slope and collided violently with the Tatar cavalry.

Amidst the loud explosion, the tank withstood the enormous pressure and continued to roll forward.

The soldiers on the chariots used crossbows and spears.

Strive to reap the lives of the Tartars who rushed forward.

Countless Tatar cavalrymen were unable to stop the huge inertia of the chariot.

The chariots plowed a wide furrow through the Tatars.

Moving forward, constantly crushing countless lives.

Nalan was running in the front, and as soon as he came into contact with the enemy, he was hit by a chariot.

The huge impact made her alert.

This is not an impact force that can be produced by human power at all. What the hell is this?

Without waiting for the brain to give orders, the body reacted naturally, jumping off the warhorse and flying over the chariot with the inertia of the charge.

The long sword danced in the air and rushed into the group of soldiers.

The soldiers on the chariot were chopped down by her with a few strokes of the sword.

Unable to distinguish east from west in the darkness, Nalan walked forward headfirst, brandishing his long sword with great speed.

Unfortunately, without a warhorse, Nalan’s attack capability is greatly reduced.

Behind the chariot was a large group of charging cavalry, with countless swords and spears waving in the darkness.

It is simply beyond human power to resist or avoid.

Any martial arts skills are useless in such an environment, and it all depends on luck.

No one knew how many times Nalan had been stabbed, chopped, and robbed.

She fought hard, grabbed a warhorse, and charged left and right among the large cavalry.

The Tatars were not good at night battles, and the reason was self-evident.

However, Lin Feng's Qingshui Army has always included night combat skills training in its training program.

This includes how to distinguish friend from foe at night, which is the most basic skill.

The key was to make some adjustments to the soldiers' dietary nutrition, adding some animal offal such as lamb liver and pork liver at the right time, which effectively improved the soldiers' blurred vision at night.

The Qingshui Army's equipment has a logo on the shoulder and neck, which can reflect light at night.

This was Lin Feng's invention. He ground the night-shining pearls, which were once treasured by the world, into fluorescent powder and added water-based glue.

The armor is decorated with a logo that symbolizes the Shimizu Corps, which not only shows who is one of us, but also the enemy's rank.

The soldiers on the battlefield can tell at a glance who is the enemy and who is ours, and who is higher or lower in rank.

These two items alone give us a great advantage on the battlefield at night.

In the fierce fight, the Qingshui soldiers didn't hesitate at all and just pounced and chopped.

But the Tatars lack this kind of recognition, and when swords and guns are pointed at each other, they still need to carefully distinguish.

Even if it was just a moment's hesitation, it would lead to a huge mistake and the loss of the initiative.

With the help of chariots, the Tatar cavalry was defeated quickly.
