Chapter 221 The Morning Light Shining in the Dark Night (Part 2)
Chapter 221 The morning light shining in the dark night (Part 2)
The night in Liangchengang is still the same as usual. From time to time, the howls of some wild beasts can be heard in the surrounding dense woods. The most distinctive one is undoubtedly the deciduous wolf. It does not have the ferocity and team spirit of the maple wolf, but they are still in this area.
The most common hunter in the woods.
Under the dim moonlight, a dozen figures kept moving and flashing in the forest.
Yi Xifeng looked at the three people leading the team and couldn't help but recall the explanation given by Qingzhu and others in the big tent.
"Ji Rentu will definitely carry out a night attack tonight, and we will also be passive. Will the opponent choose to attack at night, or feint to harass? No one is sure of winning in this game between reality and reality." Middle-aged Xun
The mountain team said solemnly.
The tall, thin middle-aged man standing next to the sand table continued: "So, we have to arrange a relatively difficult task for you."
Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di looked at each other and saw a hint of probing in their eyes. Apparently they had already guessed what Zhao Yunming was talking about.
Qingzhu explained: "As soon as night falls tonight, you will leave this camp, sneak into the surrounding dense forest, and wait for an opportunity to attack the enemy camp at night!"
As soon as these words came out, these twelve people all took a deep breath.
Qi Chengcheng scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that the enemy would attack at night? Why are we asked to attack each other at night?"
It was obvious that the boy Doubi was young after all and did not know much about these battlefield matters. However, Teng Snake on the side saw him asking and explained:
"The art of war is like a chess game. It is better to lose one piece than to lose the first one! Since the enemy wants to kill him at midnight, then we must kill him first! And the moonlight is dim tonight. You, a group of twelve people, with hidden figures, will definitely be able to do it.
Hidden from the eyes and ears of the enemy.”
Yi Xifeng came back to his senses and looked at his companions beside him, feeling somewhat excited in his heart.
Soon the group came to the edge of a dense forest, from where they could see the whole of Luoye City's camp. At this time, Zhang Yanshi said softly: "Sure enough, Brother Bodang has rich experience in the jungle, and he can find such a good location.
A place.”
The strong young man smiled slightly and said nothing. After all, as a hunter from a young age, he was better than anyone else present at this kind of sentry and observation in the jungle.
Zhou Di looked at the hourglass he carried with him and calculated that it would take more than an hour until midnight. I believe that these black-armored soldiers would have to wait until after midnight even if they carried out a night attack tonight.
"Xiaoxiao, go check out the situation around the camp. Zhao Long, you can follow." The young man carrying the Fang Tianji ordered in a low voice.
The pony-tailed girl frowned and said solemnly: "I can do this kind of thing by myself. I'm more used to acting alone."
Zhao Long also frowned and looked at Fifth Xiaoxiao, but he didn't say too much nonsense. He just nodded and said: "Okay, let's work separately."
After that, the two of them didn't say much, and their figures had disappeared from where they were.
Lin Fenghuo curled his lips and said: "These two are good people, both of them are ruthless and don't talk much!"
Lin Lei, who was unruly, glanced at the three young men at the head of the team with squinted eyes and said nothing more.
Instead, Li Xintian, who had never spoken much, chuckled and said, "These two will become good friends in the future!"
Yi Xifeng looked at the fair-skinned girl next to him and wondered what she was basing this judgment on. However, Zhong Lingxi behind her understood the girl's thoughts and coughed twice.
Lu Huahua naturally did not care about the reactions of the people behind her. As one of the three captains of this operation, she took over the deployment of the night attack battle. She was the absolute main force.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the short-haired girl said in her unique magnetic voice: "If they haven't taken action until midnight, we will strike first!"
After all, Lu Huahua is a martial artist from the outside world, and she has done a lot of hard work in this kind of battle. Looking at the people behind her, she couldn't help but feel a little funny. These people really have special skills.
………………Dividing line………………
Although this camp formed by the cavalrymen from Luoye City is a marching camp, its specifications and defensive facilities are no worse than the huge camp on Liangchengang.
However, including the camp walls and turrets, this camp is indeed a little worse than Liangchengang. However, in just a few hours, a camp that can accommodate a thousand people was built, and there are also a thousand horses that need to be taken care of. So calculated
Come on, the food consumption of these thousand cavalry in one day will catch up with the consumption of nearly five thousand infantry.
Normally, a horse's daily rations are roughly equivalent to the rations of four ordinary soldiers. Some people may ask here, don't horses eat grass? How can they be compared with humans?
In fact, real war horses don’t know how to eat hay. What really allows them to withstand long-distance attacks are various beans. People who are good at looking at horses have long said that a man cannot be strong without meat, and a horse cannot run without beans. Simply put, people
If you don't eat meat when fighting, you won't be able to use your strength. When a horse fights with people, it won't be able to run fast if you don't eat beans.
Based on this calculation, this temporary camp is actually much larger than the camp on Liangchengang.
However, the larger the camp, the more flaws will be exposed. Zhao Long looked at the camp in front of him and the black-armored soldiers who were constantly patrolling. The young man ducked and slipped in.
Although he successfully sneaked in at this time, he still did not dare to relax at all. From the observation outside the camp just now, it was not difficult to find that the general leading the army this time was indeed a talented leader. Although the defense of the camp was leaky, the patrolling black armored soldiers were not.
It's different for every shift.
The difference between the first patrol shift and the second patrol shift was thirty breaths. When the next patrol team alternated, this time actually became seventy breaths. And in the next shift, it became fifteen breaths...
You never guess when the next set of patrols will arrive.
Fortunately, Zhao Long has the unique skill of "Dragon Eyes", so his insight in the dark night is stronger than that of ordinary warriors. Naturally, he is much better than these soldiers who are only a little stronger than ordinary people.
Finally, I managed to sneak in without any danger.
At this time, there was still an hour before midnight. In addition to the patrol teams in twos and threes, there were also many black-armored soldiers gathering together and muttering something.
It is not difficult to see that the atmosphere in the camp tonight is much more depressing than in the past. In Yao Jingshun's vanguard battle in the afternoon, more than a hundred of his own men died on the battlefield, which shocked a thousand black-armored soldiers.
"I don't believe it even if I say I'll beat you to death, General Yao will actually lose!"
"Hey, I didn't expect it at first. Yinren Village actually has a magic-breaking crossbow. It seems that this battle will not be easy to fight."
"Yes, I heard that there will be an action tonight. Our captain said it, and the higher-ups gave the order. Don't take off your clothes and armor, and don't take off your horses' saddles!"
"Yes, yes, we heard about it too."
Everyone was expressing their opinions on this afternoon's battle, and some were discussing tonight's night attack. However, no one noticed that a man also wearing black armor lowered the brim of his hat and listened to the people around him.
Speech.
The other men in black armor present came over to say hello to him, but they found that this man didn't pay much attention to others, and he had two iron knives stuck in his waist. He didn't look like someone to be trifled with, so he gradually stopped talking.
People come to disturb him again.
This person is none other than Zhao Long, who sneaked into the enemy camp.
As expected by the boy with the double sword, the cavalry from Luoye City really planned to attack tonight, and judging from the momentum, it shouldn't be too small.
However, he had not yet obtained all the information Zhao Long wanted, so the young man decided to investigate a little more.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon most of the soldiers in the camp returned to their respective barracks. Although there would be fighting in the middle of the night, they could rest more and have more energy for the night battle.
Knowing this, Zhao Long secretly found a higher tent, stood on the top of the tent, and had a panoramic view of the entire camp.
At this time, most of the tents were dark. After all, in addition to sleeping in the tents at night, the soldiers would not light up lamps and boil oil to read the art of war. If the tents were still brightly lit at this point, they must be the barracks of middle- and high-level officers.
Zhao Long found a brightly lit tent at the edge of the camp and gathered his energy, but there was a faint blue light in his eyes.
The boy with two swords has an outstanding ability to control his own inner energy, even among the twelve martial arts masters. At this time, he used his powerful soul control ability to suppress the fluctuations of his inner energy in his body.
"Damn it! Hu Qingzheng! You are actually playing tricks on me! What kind of camp is no bigger than a hundred feet! The big camp on Liangchengang is enough to be three hundred feet square! Also, Jiren slaughters you old fox and arranges me to this bird after losing the battle.
A place where you don’t shit? They have a magic-breaking crossbow, but you, as the coach, don’t know it. You are responsible for me taking over a hundred lives!”
Yao Jingshun roared with red eyes. This time, the black-armored cavalryman served as the two vanguards to attack Yinren, which was originally an extremely coveted achievement. Unfortunately, at this time, this matter became the topic of the Luoye City soldiers after dinner.
laughing stock.
After two consecutive defeats, no matter what the reason was, General Yao Qi's path to joining the army was indeed blocked in the future.
At this time, a confidant soldier outside the camp bowed and walked in, saying in a deep voice: "Sir, the general sent someone to send an order to attack Liangchengang at three o'clock tonight. This time..."
The black-armored soldier hesitated for a moment, then quickly looked up at his master, and then added: "This night attack will be led by the general himself."
"Crack! Crack!" A table was almost overturned to the ground, and Yao Jingshun asked in a cold voice: "In this night attack, our troops have an absolute advantage, and the enemy is exposed and we are hidden, so we are in an invincible position!
He remembered that he had fallen into this kind of thing! Huh, old thief!"
The soldier in black armor who was bowing down had no choice but to bury his head deeper. In the army, there are also people who talk about gossip. For a penniless pawn like him, even if you give him ten thousand courages, he would not dare to say that he is the commander-in-chief.
no.
However, what the two people in the camp didn't know was that there was a stern-faced man standing outside their tent at this time, listening to the conversation between them.
Soon, this news came to Zhou Di. The young man holding the halberd looked at the note in his hand and murmured: "At three o'clock in the afternoon? Time is a bit tight!"
The ten people present discussed it one after another and started to carry out the next night attack.
The cold wind at midnight blew over the mountain ridges of Liangchengang and into the camp of Liangchengang. It was already midnight, and the bonfires in the camp had been extinguished. Also dark were the tents where the young men were resting.
However, there was indeed no one in the big tent at this time. They did not fall asleep, but stood on the camp wall, facing the Luoye City camp in the distance, waiting for the upcoming night battle.
"Is the news reliable?" Teng She asked worriedly.
Obviously, in response to this night attack, Liangchengang was somewhat passive. If the enemy did not come all night, then by dawn the next day, our disadvantage would be even more obvious.
"Humph! They have to come even if they come, and they have to come if they don't come." Zhao Yunming said with narrowed eyes.
Luoye City Camp.
The black-armored soldiers in various camps were awakened by their captains and corps commanders and hurriedly formed formations in the school grounds.
But before they could go to the horse farm behind the camp to move the horses, a bright sword light was like a meteor streaking across the sky, slashing straight towards the handsome flag in the center of the camp!
"Qing Mingchen Light Sword!"
A young boy's shout echoed throughout the quiet school grounds, but soon a huge figure burst out of a tent!
"Hmph! You're just a man of cultivation, but you dare to be so presumptuous!"
It wasn't until the sword light, as bright as the dawn light, approached that everyone present could clearly see the huge figure that had just been blocked, as if he was wearing a piece of blue iron armor!
The person who came was none other than Hu Qingzheng, one of Ji Rentu's four cavalry generals.
The strong man, who was as big as a ball of flesh, responded in a hurry and only had time to blast out a palm. Although he barely shattered the sword light, the huge force of the shock still knocked him away.
After a brief reaction, all the black-armored soldiers in the field raised their magic-breaking crossbows and aimed at the young man who made a sneak attack.
Yi Xifeng was not surprised when he saw someone blocking him. After all, the flag in every military camp was the lifeblood of the army. If it were normal times and no war, even if it was blown away by the wind, it would not be a big deal.
However, when the battle is about to begin, if the commander's flag is chopped off, the morale of the soldiers will be devastating.
But before everyone could react, just like in response to the fair boy's bright sword, the horse farm located behind the camp suddenly burst into flames!
"No! It's gone! It's gone!"
"Damn it, where are the people guarding the horses? Are all these losers just for food?"
The place immediately fell into chaos. You must know that for a general marching camp, the tents are not far apart, but for fire prevention, the camp is divided into five camps: front, back, left, right, and center.
, they are divided by ravines, which is conducive to management and, most importantly, fire prevention.
Originally, the rear camp was in a fire and flooded. As the warriors in the front camp, they should not be so uneasy. What really made them feel incredible was the horses in the backyard, which were the darlings of this group of cavalry.
Because once they lose their strong mobility, even if the Demon-Breaking Crossbow can withstand one round of attacks from the opponent, they will still die without a doubt if they are approached by the opponent.
However, compared to ordinary soldiers, the Bijia Cavalry General was more worried about the response of the rear camp, because he knew that so far, they had not sent any distress message.
In other words, before the incident happened, all the soldiers guarding the rear camp were probably killed!
