Chapter 114: Moonlit Night Raid 2
"Commander, commander, look, the cavalry is back to the city!" said a little minion who had been with the commander of the regiment, pointing to the horse team whizzing in the distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The head of the regiment was also looking at it with his long neck, and he said impatiently: "See, be quiet, beware of being heard by those killers!"
The minion shrunk his neck and sneered: "It's so far away, who can hear it!"
The regimental commander waited until most of the horse team had run into the city before he came out of his hiding place, patted the dust off his body, and boasted to the dozen or so soldiers: "How about it? Follow me! Look at the guys who are being kicked out of the chickens and rabbits?
"The regiment commander is also ...... gods" There was a wave of sycophants, and the staff officer on one side cracked his mouth, not saying anything, living is the right situation.
This small group of people quickly passed through the battlefield where there were still sporadic battles, and touched their own camp, and when they reached the halfway point, they encountered a group of about 20 people who escaped, and the regiment commander immediately took the lead and shrank into the bushes on the side of the road.
As soon as they hid, five or six cavalrymen galloped past them, and the staff officer touched his forehead and said to the regimental commander: "Commander, it's good that you took us to hide, otherwise we would ......" He didn't dare to continue, but everyone knew what it meant.
The regiment commander snorted contemptuously and said: "You are still a staff officer! Don't analyze the situation just now!" Those 20 or so hurriedly ran over without looking to the sides, making it clear that there were people chasing after them, otherwise as long as someone paid attention to them, they would definitely be able to discover us. ”
"The head of the regiment is right...... "Another wave of sycophants.
The staff officer was speechless, just now, before the two dozen approached, you drilled into the bushes early, how could they find you!
Regardless of the staff officer's expression, the regiment commander continued to boast: "Just those five or six pursuers, more than two dozen are brave, and they can be taken down with one blow, you look at them, all of them are gutless rats!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the team is wise......"
The staff officer finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Commander, why don't we raid them while those cavalry haven't discovered us!"
"Hmph" The regimental commander snorted disdainfully and said: "If they dare to strike a reflexive blow, we will help again in the dark, and of course five or six cavalrymen will not be a problem, but if a few of us attack, and the twenty or so don't come back together, have we ever beaten them?
The staff officer shrunk his neck, too, more than 20 people didn't dare to fight, there were only a dozen on his side, it was better to have more than one thing, and he was just about to put it down, and immediately thought of something, and immediately asked the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, will those cavalry go to sneak attack our big camp?"
The regiment commander finally couldn't help it, and slapped his palm on the staff officer's head and said: "Move your brain, which doesn't weigh five or two, three or four hundred cavalry have all run back to the city, will these cavalry go to attack our big camp?
It's a pity that the staff officers were already very close to the answer, those were rangers, but the assembly place of these rangers was in a small forest not far from their camp, and those twenty or so guys, who were ready to pass through the forest and go back to the camp, were naturally going to be wiped out.
The regimental commander finally returned to the camp with a dozen heads, as a senior commander in the rebel army, and when he came back, he always had to meet Don Quixote, who was smashing pots and bowls in his big tent.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say anything, but fortunately, his 800 people finally ran back more than 500 people, and the loss was not heavy, Don Quixote also saw that they were charged by four or five hundred cavalry, and more than 500 people came back, which can be regarded as a good leader, as for the cavalry that met not far from the big camp, Don Quixote understood the same as him, it was just a ranger, don't worry.
After a moment of fire, Don Quixote finally calmed down, and he asked Sancho, "Is there anything wrong around the camp?"
Originally, this job was supposed to be the work of Chief of Staff Xia Zuo, but Xia Zuo was directly killed by Yu Wusheng's arrow, and there was no one available around him, so he naturally asked himself as a loyal servant.
Sancho looked at the generals around him, and they all looked at him, obviously asking him to answer the question, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "There is nothing wrong with the camp, but at noon a few wild wolves came to the camp to make trouble, and we drove them away. ”
"This is the territory of wild wolves, what's strange?" Don Quixote knew that there were wolves here when he interrogated the fleeing baggage soldiers last time, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but continued to ask: "Is there anything wrong with anything other than wild wolves?"
Sancho looked, and no one would answer the question, so he continued: "No!"
Don Quixote nodded, shook his head again, and finally rubbed his swollen temples with the mid-index of his right hand and his thumb, which had been restless since Xia Zuo was shot dead, and there was always a feeling that something worse was about to happen, and it was even stronger after entering the camp.
But the news reported by all sides was normal, except for another big defeat, the 2,000 people he brought with him had already lost nearly 1,000 people, and all of them who were fighting were wounded, and it was obvious that they could no longer fight.
Don Quixote propped up the table with his hands, lowered his head, his bloodshot eyes rolled up, looking at the chills in everyone's hearts, and after a long time, he said: "Pass the order, repair all night tonight, withdraw the troops early tomorrow morning, give me strict defense tonight, don't let the officers and soldiers have a chance to take advantage of it!"
The generals immediately stood up with their chests folded and replied, "Yes!"
Don Quixote was even more depressed when he saw the discovery of these people, and as soon as he heard that he was going to withdraw his troops, he immediately came to his senses, Don Quixote waved his hand, signaled all the generals to go out, and after everyone left, he turned his head and saw that Sancho was still standing in the big tent, and he said extremely tiredly: "You also go down to rest, arrange the sentry tonight, don't go on a business, I always feel that the depression will not be over." ”
Sancho also said a few words of comfort, but before he could say anything, he saw Don Quixote waving at him, so he didn't say anything, and carefully withdrew from the tent, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he shouted and arranged to stay on duty tonight.
Listening to Sancho shouting behind the tent, Don Quixote sat down in his chair and raised his head, there was a skylight on the top of his tent just above his seat, and the skylight was covered with a transparent magic cloth, that is, he could see the sky, and he didn't have to worry about the rain falling in on a rainy day, and the lighting was very good on a sunny day, Don Quixote looked at the slightly dark sky outside, and muttered: "I hope there is a moon tonight!"
At the same time, Yu Wuming and Jack, who had already collected the horses in the hot springs, were standing on the wall and looking out, and Yu Wuming asked Jack, "What would happen if Link used this horse team to attack Don Quixote's home just now?"
Jack didn't answer his question, just pointed to the horse team under the city that had not been completely cleaned up, Yu Wuming looked at it carefully for a long time before saying, "Less than half of the war horses, the rest are just pack horses, right?"
Jack smiled and said, "Yes, Don Quixote is also an old soldier, and a man like you, who has only been in the military for less than a month, can he not see it?
Although he only has less than 800 morale-depressed troops in his hands, he can still deal with 150 people, no need to annihilate them all, as long as he traps a platoon, especially the 14th platoon, this platoon is not too controlled by Link, our losses will be infinitely magnified, and the opponent's morale will be immediately raised, even if he has to exchange more than 200 lives!"
Yu Wuming nodded again and again, and then said, "Link seems to be of great use!"
"That is, if Squad 14 was not a formal unit in the Royal Guard, I believe Link would have subdued them a long time ago, and Squad B 14 and 15 have already explained the problem, and after this battle, Link's authoritative position should be unshakable. ”
Yu Wuming nodded again, and then he raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky was very clear, there was no cloud, like a black brocade, he said to himself: "I hope there is no moon today!"
The same emotion was also expressed by Link hiding in the grove not far from the enemy's camp, at this time the soldiers in the 14th platoon were already impressed by Link, and the battle at dusk made them have a 180-degree change in their senses towards Link, this man is a man, especially he alone chopped off no less than 10 heads, and those who were cut and hacked to death, don't count, can't count.
In the eyes of the 14th row of worship, Link stood at the edge of the woods, he looked at the sky worriedly, and Reinhardt stood behind him without leaving a single step.
Just when Reinhardt was a little impatient, Link suddenly asked, "When will the oil arrive?"
"According to the plan, it will be shipped here at midnight. Reinhardt said.
"Send someone back immediately, the plan is postponed, the attack is launched before dawn, and the oil will be transported here at 2 a.m." Link didn't look back, just said to himself, his eyes never leaving the skyline for a moment.
Reinhardt was a little surprised, not understanding why he had changed his plan, and he asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"There's going to be a moon tonight, and the visibility is so good that you have to wait until the other side is completely asleep before you can start it, so before dawn is the best time!" Link was still looking at the skyline, where a white ball had hung up, and the brightness was increasing.
Reinhardt also looked at the ball and said softly, "It would be nice if there was no moon tonight!"
Link nodded, and said softly: "Yes, it would be nice to have no moon! Don't be emotional, give the order to go, even if we break through tonight, we will attack the rebels' camp, and if we don't drive them back to Salzburg, we won't have a good life in the next few months." ”
