The meteors slid across the ink-black night sky and spread over the company camp, as gorgeous as a goddess scattering flowers. Most of the "petals" hit the ground, jumped, and were extinguished in an instant. There were also a small number of orange petals.
The red "petals" unfortunately splashed on the curtain made of Gebu or linen, and quickly caused a ball of fire.
"The enemy is attacking, brothers, get up and fight!" Guo Fangxu shouted loudly. It was not a meteor or a goddess scattering flowers, but someone using rockets to attack his camp. "This damn strategist, why don't you return Pushan?"
What a master, bullshit!" The moment he realized he was being attacked, Guo Fangyu began to regret. This operation sweeping across Beihai County was planned by the military adviser, and it is said that he received the full assistance of Pushan Gong Li Mi. But
From the time everyone started taking action until now, Li Mi, who is famous all over the world and once deceived Yang Xuangan into a dead end, has never shown his face.
The second, third, and fourth meteors came one after another, accompanied by suppressed thunder, bringing the flames of death into the military camp. Someone in the tent closest to the outside of the military camp was awakened, and jumped in wearing a piece of clothing.
Outside the camp, they didn't know what happened. When they saw that they were sleeping in the light of the fire, they instinctively screamed. Soon, these shrill screams were intertwined and merged into a song from
The Lament of the Eighteen Hells.
I don't know what kind of monster came in the dark night. The low thunder sound was like the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, but it was duller, thinner and shorter than the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. They swept by like wind outside the company camp and fired countless rockets into it.
Go to the tent where the bandits were resting. The fire spread in the military camp at an unimaginable speed. What spread faster than the fire was the fear in people's hearts. More and more minions rushed out of the camp without weapons.
, naked. Out of human instinct, they fled to the depths of the camp. Those who were resting deep in the camp were awakened from their sleep by the chaotic footsteps around them. Without any thought, they turned around and joined the escape.
, crying and shouting together with the collapsed people, and ran deeper into the company camp. At the same time, they also spread panic deeper into the company camp.
"Stop, there are not many enemies. Don't run away. Let's work together to kill them out!" Guo Fang panicked and shouted at the top of his voice. The number of enemy troops cannot be too large, otherwise the military counselors stationed in Qi County will not notice it.
There is no sign of the gathering of county soldiers. Moreover, on the road from Licheng to Beihai, there are two big cities, Yidu and Haichang, which are controlled by their own people. If a large army of officers and soldiers passes through the city, even if the brothers dare not go out of the city to fight, at least they will
Alerts can be sent promptly.
But the officers and soldiers rushed in front of him without anyone noticing, which only meant that there were not many of them, definitely no more than five thousand. At this moment, under his command Guo Fangyu and another great leader Qin Junhong
, there are 30,000 minions, and nearly 70,000 civilians have been forced into the army. "Don't run away, pass on my orders, prepare to counterattack, and kill those who run away!" Guo Fangyu kicked away the minions who escaped from him.
Soldier, once again, grabbed the collar of another escapee. He screamed at the top of his lungs, but no one listened to him. Including the young man who was grabbed by the collar, he struggled hard and left his only coat.
He became the boss, and then without looking back, he joined the ranks of the refugees naked.
"Stop, I am your boss! Fight back, there are less than five thousand enemy troops! Kill them, and I will give you meat tomorrow! Anyone who escapes again will be killed without mercy!" Guo Fangxu, who was extremely angry, set aside
He waved his sword vigorously in front of him. In the past, when he tried to kill people and establish his power, he could always frighten the minions under his command so that they stood there and trembled. But today, he found that his method was not working. When he
After he and the guards around him chopped down the first person, the other escapees exploded like flies. The blood did not inspire their courage. The only function was to make them try not to get too close to Guo Fangyu. While running away,
Others shouted in Beihai dialect to Guo Fangzu and others, "Young cubs, let's run together. Qin Shubao is here, the sword doesn't have eyes!" "The donkey kicked you in the head. If you don't run away, it will be too late!"
There was not much malice in these words, and there was even a hint of concern. Guo Fang hesitated for a moment, and after careful inspection, he discovered that he was only wearing a Ge robe that was only as long as his knees, and the robe he usually used to identify himself was
The soaring crown and golden armor were all thrown into the camp at this moment. His appearance was similar to that of most escapees. No wonder the other party didn't regard him as the leader.
"Heroes are saddened by beauty. I can lead a counterattack if I put on my clothes!" He comforted himself in his heart, gave up trying to stop the defeated troops, and turned around to walk towards his sleeping tent. Just after taking a few steps, he felt the people running for his life around him.
The man was dressed too strangely. When he looked carefully, he found that nine out of ten escapees were not carrying weapons!
Oh my god! Guo Fangxu felt a pain in his heart, and something warm, sweet, and fishy immediately surged into his throat. He knew why the brothers had no power to resist. The problem lies with him, the leader. For
To prevent the forcibly recruited people from escaping at night, when they were camping, he and Qin Junhong ordered the new recruits and veterans to live together, and each of the minions was responsible for supervising the sleep of three newcomers. The new recruits had no weapons and no experience at all.
In any large-scale battle, let them move rocks, and the anti-cloud ladder can be used just fine. If they are suddenly attacked, they will not make any other choice except running for their lives.
Swallowing the blood that surged into his throat, Guo Fangyu rushed into his tent with his head lowered. He quickly packed up some belongings and dragged the little girl in the tent to escape with him. This battle was completely lost, although
Until now, he had not even seen the shadow of the enemy. When more than two-thirds of his brothers began to flee for their lives, Guo Fangyu had no illusions about gathering the remaining one-third of his men to turn defeat into victory.
If any escapees had the courage to turn back at this time, they would find that the facts were just as Guo Fangyu expected. There were very few enemy troops, even less than the five thousand Guo Fangyu said. The closest place to Guo Fangyu's sleeping tent
, at this moment, only about fifty war horses jumped over the wooden fence outside the camp one after another.
But no one stepped forward to stop them. The minions and the people who were forcibly recruited into the army were not Guo Fangyu, and they did not have as clear a mind as Guo Dada. Before the officers and soldiers entered the camp, they were already shot by rockets one after another.
Lost the courage to resist.
Some of them were holding bows and arrows, while others were holding torches and horizontal knives. The soldiers from Qi County gathered inside the wooden fence, and the burning tents illuminated their armor. They did not immediately rush into the depths of the enemy camp, but
They were grouped together in pairs. "Woo--Woo-Woo!" The captain who led the team blew the horn, and the bow holders immediately lit the long arrows in their hands on the torches in the hands of their nearby companions, and then they quickly released the bow strings.
, sending countless burning "firebirds" into the night sky. When those firebirds swoop down from the sky, it is the beginning of a new round of disaster.
Almost all the tents closest to the outside of the company camp burst into flames. Some were ignited by rockets used by sneak attackers, and some were ignited by sparks blown by the wind. The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind's power, and burned half of the sky red in an instant.
On the other side of the strange and shrill flames in the sky, the bandits and the people who had just been joined by the Xie fled in all directions. Between the burning tents, small groups of light cavalry from Qi County slowly advanced.
The advancing speed of each team of soldiers and horses is very slow. It can even be said that they are accommodating the speed of the escapees. If they find that they are chasing too close, the general leading the team will blow the horn, order the brothers to stop, and use rockets to signal the surroundings.
There was no camp that was set on fire. When they found their opponents fleeing in a chaotic manner, they pursued them leisurely.
The bandits who had just woken up from their slumber could not organize effective resistance. A few brave men rushed to the horses of the county soldiers, and were either shot over by random arrows or hacked to death with horizontal knives. The shooting skills of the county soldiers were not good enough.
Even though they are superb, the strength of the horn bow in their hands is only about one stone. But the feather arrows flying in all directions are the nemesis of the rogue bandits. The teams of Guo Fangyu and Qin Junhong both expanded rapidly in a short period of time.
They did not have qualified armor at all, and the arrows that posed no threat to the regular army would cause fatal wounds if they hit them.
A dozen minions emerged from the scarlet flames carrying large and small bags. They were the braver ones among the bandits. They still remembered where the property they had plundered was stored by the boss. From now on, Guo Jiajun
Whether they still exist or not has little to do with them. As long as they keep their belongings, they won't have to worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives.
A light cavalry rushed past from the side and scattered the money-hungry gangsters. The riders on horseback swung their swords and cut the escapees and the packages on their backs. The blood glowed coquettishly under the light of the flames.
The light, even more strange than the blood light, was the gold and silver jewelry rolling on the ground. Some people were twisting their injured bodies, crawling, trying to suppress the scattered gold and silver jewelry under their bodies. The horse's hooves were merciless from their bodies.
Stepping over, the injured person exhaled his last breath and died, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Jie, Jie is too bullying!" A man who looked very much like a butcher rushed towards the county soldiers who were setting fire with more than 500 minions. This man was Guo Fangyu's bodyguard. Among the county soldiers
Before stealing the camp, he had just been ordered to gather men for patrol. Now, he almost controlled the only team with a relatively complete structure. Seeing the arrogant performance of the county soldiers, he launched a counterattack without hesitation.
"Woo-wu-wu!" Captain Zhang Pu, who was leading the team, blew the horn. More than fifty county soldiers quickly turned and ran away, widening the distance from the counterattacks. A four-legged war horse is always better than a two-legged one.
The living people ran very fast, but the butcher and the guards led the minions and rushed to nothing, so they had to look at the dust and sigh.
"Jie, what's the matter with Jie!" Before he could finish his words, dozens of feather arrows flew from the night sky, hitting more than a dozen of the minions around him. The opponent came back again, riding his horse.
Shoot the arrow. "Hold it, hold it! They don't have much silver (people)." The butcher raised a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, shouting. Under his angry gaze, the unreasonable cavalry turned their horses around and started again.
He ran a hundred steps away.
"Woo--Woo-Woo!" Captain Zhang Pu blew the horn and charged with the cavalry for the second time. The butcher guards organized a manpower to fight back, but they couldn't touch the opponent at all. Soon, another batch came.
After falling under the flying arrows, the survivors shivered, looked around, and kept asking for escape.
"Leader Zheng, retreat. All the brothers have fled!"
"Chief Zheng, retreat, we can't hit them, and it's okay to be beaten all the time!" The gangsters urged each other, making the butcher and the guards furious. "Retreat, why retreat? We escaped, these
Who's going to take advantage of me?!" He retorted with a curse, raised his shield, and took the lead in attacking the cavalry on the opposite side.
If the enemy does not dare to fight, he may keep driving them far away. Although the rebels will definitely lose tonight's battle, with this batch of jewelry, they are not afraid of not being able to recruit brothers. After a while, everyone will get some jewelry and take advantage of the opportunity.
After fleeing far away, it won't be long before there will be an additional leader named Zheng En on the list of heroes in the counties of Henan. Thinking like this, the butcher's guard became more and more courageous, even though he knew that Pao Ze who was following behind him was not there.
Several of them still fought back bravely without stopping.
Suddenly, he found that there were no more random arrows hitting him. Looking up, the butcher guard named Zheng En saw the cavalry not far away dispersed. And beside him, there were more than two hundred die-hard brothers left.
My legs were trembling, and the collision of my upper and lower teeth could be heard clearly.
"Jie, what is the world?" The butcher guard's eyes widened in surprise. He saw more than twenty tall monsters appearing on the side of the group of light armored cavalry. Each monster was covered with a thick layer of armor.
Apart from the hooves, only two dark red eyes were exposed in the front. On the monster's back was a strange man covered in iron armor, with a green face and fangs, huge teeth and red hair. They were holding a gun that was eight feet long and they were not moving very fast, but they were moving like a mountain.
It's like a small mountain and cannot be stopped by human power.
"Gurgling, gurgle, gurgle!" The butcher guard heard his teeth ringing clearly. He felt that the courage was slipping away from his body, and soon it was all gone. The monster on the opposite side began to attack, and his footsteps hit the ground.
They are like thunder. Their speed is not very fast. If a person runs away, he may not be able to escape with his life. (Note 3)
"Run away!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting. The brothers around the Butcher Guard turned their heads one after another and rushed towards the depths of the camp at the maximum speed they could achieve in their lives. Their actions reminded the Butcher Guard, leaving behind a heavy
He also joined the fleeing team.
"Chase!" Zhang Pu, the captain of the school, only said one word, and rode his horse to chase the defeated bandits. The light cavalry caught up from behind as quickly as possible, cutting down the escapees one by one. No one dared to turn back to fight.
, those armored cavalry with painted faces became a permanent nightmare in the hearts of the soldiers. Even years later, when the bandits who survived the battle mentioned this night, their voices still trembled.
"Jie, Jie, grandpa was unlucky that day when he ran into Qin Shubao's armored cavalry!" Several years later, Zheng En, who finally figured out what kind of monster his opponent was, said to his grandson. That battle was the last battle he participated in in his life.
After escaping from the battlefield during the First World War, he found a remote village to live in seclusion. No matter who came to invite him, he would never leave the mountain again. He admitted that he was frightened, and it was precisely because of this that in that long chaotic world, he
He actually saved a life. However, most of his friends and opponents later died on the battlefield for different purposes and ideals. (To be continued)
