C425 (2/2)
Liu Zhi who was waiting far away saw that Chen Cang had succeeded, and immediately ordered everyone to rush over to the camp. When they arrived at the entrance of the camp, Chen Cang and the rest mounted their horses and said to Liu Zhi: ”I will lead a Company to attack Front Camp. You will lead a Company to attack the rear camp and burn down all the ships of West Cold Army.”
”Alright.” Chen Cang and Liu Zhi were familiar with the Changjin Pier, and knew that the barracks was still five miles away, so they let Liu Zhi go first. Liu Zhi raised the crossbow in her hand and shouted to the cavalrymen behind him: ”Third Company, Brothers, take out your rockets, follow me!”
”Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank …”
Just then, the patrolling West Cold Sentinel in the camp noticed the ambushing cavalry and immediately sounded the alarm. The sleeping West Cold Army hurriedly crawled up from the sleeping bed, looking for their clothes. The weapons were thrown into a panic.
When Chen Cang saw that West Cold Sentinel had called the police, he knew that they could not wait any longer. He quickly shouted out, ”Fourth Squad, take out your rockets, quickly follow me!” With that, he waved his hand and led more than a thousand cavalrymen towards Front Camp.
”Light the fire and burn down their tents!” Chen Cang shouted loudly as he ran. There were simply too many soldiers in the West Cold Army. They had to burn down the tents in the West Cold Army in order to cause chaos and destroy it.
Before the soldiers of the West Cold Army could put on their clothes, the cavalry of Youzhou had already rushed over. Rocket after rocket shot up to the sky like a meteor falling from the sky. West Cold Army's tent was quickly set ablaze.
As the weather was cold, the West Cold Army soldiers had placed many straw crops in the tents. Once these dry straw crops were ignited by the rockets, the entire tent would immediately be engulfed in flames.
Many of the soldiers were already on fire, but the moment they ran out of the tent, before they could even extinguish the flames on their bodies, they were slashed into two by the cavalry of Youzhou who rushed towards them.
”Don't keep fighting, hurry up and burn down the main camp.” Seeing that the cavalry of Youzhou was busy chasing and killing the burning West Cold Cavalry, Chen Cang immediately shouted and led the cavalry army towards Lin Zhuo's main camp. The main camp was Lin Zhuo's command center, as well as his troops and encampments. If he didn't eliminate them, Lin Zhuo would still have the chance to counterattack.
The Youzhou was fighting fiercely, hearing Chen Cang's shout, of course he knew how important the main camp was, he immediately kept his Pu Dao s and stopped chasing and killing the fleeing Xiliang soldier, and then took out his Arrows s again, quickly rushing towards the main camp.
After receiving Li Ru's warning, not only did Lin Zhuo send exorcism s and patrol the camp, he also personally inspected the camp's defenses in the middle of the night. Only then did Lin Zhuo finally sleep in peace. Perhaps it was because his nerves were too tense, but once he relaxed, Lin Zhuo could sleep soundly.
Just as he was dreaming, he was suddenly awoken by the sound of a gong in the camp. He almost jumped up from his bed and immediately realized that his camp had been ambushed. Gather the cavalry and prepare to strike back at the enemy! ”
Lin Zhuo's Big Account immediately became flustered, some of the personal guards rushed out to pass down their orders, while others helped Lin Zhuo put on his clothes and armor. But when he donned his armor and ran out of the Big Account, he saw that the Front Camp had already ignited into a raging fire.
He quickly turned his head to look at his own main camp, only to see that the cavalry soldiers had just run out of their respective tents, running towards the horse shed, while covering themselves with leather armour s, blades and spears, if he wanted to rely on them to block the cavalry of Youzhou's attack, it would be too late.
”Retreat back and assemble at the stable.” Lin Zhuo was abnormally calm, he knew that the Big Account in the middle could not hold on anymore, he immediately ordered his personal guards to gather at the horse shed. As long as the riders were gathered together, there was still a chance for them to counterattack the cavalry of Youzhou.
The West Cold Army's stable was not far from the center Big Account. When Lin Zhuo rushed to the stable with his personal guards, his three thousand odd cavalry soldiers had already rushed over. Lin Zhuo also received the horse reins that the guard passed to him, and jumped onto his horse.
”Lord Commander, the barracks is on fire too.” Just as Lin Zhuo turned his horse, he suddenly heard his janissaries shouting. He suddenly turned his head, and could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. On the banks of the Yellow River, flames also soared to the sky, and even balls of fire were burning in the Yellow River. Obviously, the cavalry of Youzhou had set their boat on fire as well.
”Brothers, kill …” Just then, Chen Cang, who had already set fire to the Big Account in the middle, shouted and led the cavalry of Youzhou over. Seeing that Lin Zhuo's cavalry had already run out of the Big Account, Chen Cang could only order his soldiers to shoot a round of arrows at Lin Zhuo's middle troop of Big Account, and directly shoot towards Lin Zhuo's cavalry.
