Chapter 103: Fighting the Sand Bandits (3)

The moon is bright tonight, as if it were day, but many soldiers in this era are malnourished and have very poor eyesight. The sergeants fought to the death against the enemy in the moonlight, inevitably hurting their own families, and only by constantly chanting Chinese could they recognize the people around them as their own.

Zhang Xiaowu had already instructed him, and the soldiers had also been trained in ordinary times, so he was naturally handy. It's just that the 300 soldiers and more than 300 people who are the vanguard of a while, although the combat strength is stronger than the rabble of the sand bandits, but thousands of sand bandits rushed to kill in the dark night, not knowing the tragic situation ahead, and soon, more sand bandits rushed through a burst and strangled with Zhang Xiaowu's personal team.

A sand bandit monster screamed and jumped up and crashed into Zhang Xiaowu, but he dodged it, and was finally hacked to death by Wang Yijin suddenly.

Wang Yijin didn't realize what he had done until he finished killing, his face was pale, and he fell to the ground with a stumbling foot. Another sand bandit stepped forward, and Wang Yijin hurriedly rolled away to dodge. The sand bandits chased endlessly, and a Han soldier rushed forward and cut down the sand bandits, and stretched out his hand to pull Wang Yijin up. Wang Yijin was about to thank him, but saw that the soldier's head flew out, and it turned out that he was directly cut off by another sand bandit.

Wang Yijin, a jailer who was as timid as a mouse in the past, was also anxious, and raised the Pu knife horizontally with a stab to stab the sand bandit directly in the waist, and then he pulled it hard, the sand bandit's stomach was opened, and his intestines suddenly fell down like a waterfall. Wang Yijin rushed forward and slashed at the man's head, only to hear a bang, and the sand bandit fell to the ground. It turned out that the sand bandit was wearing a helmet, but he didn't want to be smashed to death directly by Wang Yijin.

Wang Yijin brandished a knife to kill the enemy, but he was quickly surrounded by three sand bandits, slashing left and right fiercely, the sand bandits could not come forward because of the inferiority of weapons, but his strength was gone. At this time, Shen Lindong led the Houdu team to kill from behind, and he dragged the knife away, and quietly, the blade cut the legs of the three bandits.

The three of them couldn't help squatting on the ground in severe pain, Shen Lindong picked up the big knife and spun himself like a spinning top, and the sharp Pu knife chopped off all the heads of the three bandits. However, Shen Lindong turned too fast, he fell to the ground and rolled, he touched his head, as if his face was bleeding, presumably he was scraped by a branch on the ground when he fell to the ground. He got up and wiped the blood from his face, and bared his teeth, with a faint pain on his face.

Feeling that there was someone behind him, Shen Lindong immediately rolled to the side and raised his knife to greet him, but saw a Tartar bandit kneeling on the ground with his hands on his neck, and it turned out that the sneak attack bandit was shot in the throat by the archers on the tree.

Shen Lindong rushed up and cut off the bandit's head with a knife, and then rushed into another pile of bandits, and after killing the people, he saw a soldier fall to the ground and was almost killed, he shouted: "Get up, follow me." ”

"Shen ...... Captain Shendu! Did you save me? Wang Yijin recognized the person and hurriedly shouted.

Shen Lin Dong said: "Where is the school assistant?" ”

"Ahead!"

"Follow me, why don't you protect your adult."

Wang Yijin's face turned red, and he said in his heart that I didn't protect Lord Xiaozuo, but I just started a fight, if I was by his side, he would protect me, and it was better to stay away from him, so as not to drag down the adults. Like other brothers in the old camp, he looked down on Shen Lindong before, thinking that this person was just a little powerful, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death. But today he was rescued by Shen Lindong, but he felt a little guilty about his previous judgment, this Shen Lindong is also a powerful general, he looks down on others in private, but really in the battlefield, or others saved him.

"Captain Shendu."

"If there's a fart, let it go."

"Thank you."

"Nonsense!" Shen Lindong killed another sand bandit and scolded casually.

The sand bandits were killed so that their morale fell, and they retreated again and again, Zhang Xiaowu saw that he was unforgiving, chased after him and slashed and killed, cutting down seven or eight people one after another, and even Zhao Suo took the opportunity to kill several sand bandits behind him. After a burst of soldiers from the Zhongdu team and the left-capital team mixed with the bandits, they immediately formed a group of two or three people according to the training requirements, and fought with the bandits back-to-back.

Although the number of sand bandits was large, they found that they were helpless against the Han army, and their night attack became an opportunity for the Han army to harvest people's heads, and the cold arrows of the Han army in the woods were constantly harvesting the lives of the sand bandits, so some of the sand bandits had quietly fled from the battlefield.

Seeing this, the leader of the sand bandits could only shout to retreat, and the other sand bandits immediately turned around and ran after hearing the order, and the Han army liked to pursue and fight the most, rushing up and slashing at the enemy's back.

Seeing that the enemy could not see a shadow in the forest, Zhang Xiaowu turned back and shouted: "Dead soldiers' battalion, stop the pursuit, return to the camp!" ”

"The Dead Soldiers' Camp is back to the camp!" Zhao Suo shouted loudly, and the pro-soldier team also shouted.

Hu Li shouted: "There is a group of assemblers, the Zhongdu team, the Zuodu team, each lightly counting the number of people." His throat was a little slashed, he made a sharp sound, he hurriedly cleared his throat and swallowed his spit, and continued to shout: "He Ergou, responsible for counting the Zhongdu team!" No one answered, he shouted again, He Ergou, the head of the Zhongdu team next to him, still didn't answer, Hu Li realized that He Ergou had an accident, and shouted: "Find He Shichang!" ”

Zhang Xiaowu dragged a knife and walked back with a few soldiers, and when he saw Hu Li looking at the corpse on the ground, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

"He Ergou is gone, the one who followed me just now." Hu Li was anxious, this He Ergou and Hu Li are fellow villagers, they used to be military commanders together, and their ugly faces with buck teeth are impressive, and they don't like to talk about women. But in fact, He Ergou has never been a woman in his life, and he is still a virgin, Hu Li feels that such an ugly person, Hades Laozi should not accept it.

"Found it, He Shichang is here!"

A soldier shouted loudly, and the others hurriedly surrounded him, Zhang Xiaowu and Hu Li also ran over, and finally saw He Ergou, who had been slashed seven or eight times, and a scimitar rushed to the back and plunged into his chest, and fell straight to the ground, bleeding dry.

Hu Li squatted on the ground and closed He Ergou's eyes, his heart hurting so much that he almost gritted his teeth. Zu Gongmao walked over, covered in blood, and saw Hu Li squatting next to a corpse of a Han army, patting him on the back to show comfort, Hu Li nodded and got up.

Zhang Xiaowu sighed and ordered: "Continue to count the number of people, guard everywhere, and each team bandages and rescues the wounded on their own." Shen Lindong of the Houdu team was in charge of vigilance, cheered up, and was ready to meet the counterattack of the sand bandits at any time. ”

"Whoa!"

Hu Li hurriedly got up and said, "My lord, do you want to chase or not?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Don't chase it, the moonlight is unknown today, and if you get separated, the loss will be even worse." ”

"Whoa." Hu Li ordered: "Cao Li, Team Yishi, count the number of people and help the wounded." ”

"Whoa." Cao Li replied.

Due to the failure of the bandits' night attack, they were no longer hidden, so Zhang Xiaowu ordered bonfires to be lit around and make every effort to treat the wounded. Dozens of soldiers were shot and killed by the bandits tonight, and a dozen others were injured and needed medical attention. Although there are no military doctors in the army, the veterans have long been experienced in knife wounds and penetrating wounds, but they are powerless against the Gu family's guards.

Although the Gu family's guards are all from the rivers and lakes, the Gu family's ladies have been with them for two months, and they can't sit back and watch their guards shed blood and die. The second young lady Gu Ruoxi stood up for no reason, jumped out of the carriage and ran to the barracks, went straight to Zhang Xiaowu, and said, "Zhang Xiaozuo, please help." ”

Zhang Xiaowu turned around and saw that the red and swollen eyes of the second lady with a scarf were like a poor flower that was withering, and she choked up and pleaded: "Lord Zhang, my guard Zhou Chou is dying, I don't know if I can save people in the army?" ”
