Chapter 146: Night Attack
They looked at the deputy squad leader, who was supposed to be at the end of the line, and all they saw was a corpse lying prone on the ground, blood pouring from underneath his corpse.
Several soldiers looked at the opposite side, and the seven Earth Dragon Knights seemed to be waiting for them to come to their senses, and the one at the head suddenly asked, "What are your deployments in Yalong Valley?"
"No...... We...... I don't know...... I don't know!" the soldiers who were already stunned couldn't even speak.
"Then you're useless!" the Seven Horsemen quickly galloped past them, and only after the seven earth-walking dragons and a fiery red horse had passed them for a long time before they slowly fell to the ground.
They didn't even give the alarm, and the patrol that had been in front of them for five minutes was raided a few minutes later, without any suspense, first by a large number of fireballs, so that they did not know what was going on, and then, the squad leader and deputy squad leader were eliminated at a fixed point, and then, the cavalry galloped past them, and the sharp saber easily cut their carotid arteries, even if they were wearing hard armor, there was no time to react, they had become corpses.
The two patrols were found dead after more than ten minutes, and as for the enemy squad in the forest, I could think with my toes that they had left, not running away, but leaving, leaving so blatantly, after directly breaking through the two patrols, they disappeared without a trace.
The cavalry company hanging behind Vivien had not rested for more than half a day when they received a report from the infantry battalion in charge of patrolling that they had lost the seven enemy traces after losing two squads.
The cavalry company had to give up rest and search and pursue northward, but until ten o'clock that night, no shadow of this small force was found.
And on the morning of the 16th, the next day, the garrison to the east reported that at dawn one of their patrol squads had lost contact, but in two hours another patrol had been lost, and the cavalry company had to turn southeast, and they pursued it for another day, and there was still no trace of that unit.
On the third day, the troops from the north were divided into two squads, and it seemed that they had only two squads a day, and that the cavalry, which was already forty kilometers to the southeast, had to pursue it again to the northwest, and just when they thought they would have to pursue it all day and find nothing, they encountered this small force.
"Company commander, it's already five o'clock, and it's going to be dark in half an hour, and it looks like we're going to be empty-handed again today!" said the deputy commander of the cavalry company to the company commander.
"Alas, how did these guys become oily?" The company commander sighed helplessly, and ordered the deputy company commander: "All rest, prepare dinner immediately, rest for half an hour after dinner, we ......"
"Company commander, do we still want to chase? The brothers have been chasing for two days in a row, and they are already very tired, we can't do this anymore, let's just take a good rest today and see what they do tomorrow. The deputy company commander interrupted the company commander and said.
The company commander thought for a moment, raised his fist and ordered loudly: "All of them! Get off the horse and rest, one shift! Immediately set up a camping camp and a cooking class! Cook immediately, we will camp here today!"
Everyone in the cavalry company immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was no need to chase so aimlessly, everyone immediately dismounted, and the people who set up tents and built camps were busy, and the others immediately looked for a small river and brought the horses over to drink.
Everything was in order, and after more than half an hour the camp had been set up, and on a small hill near them, seven men had been standing for half an hour, because it was far enough that the men of those cavalry companies did not notice them.
"When are we going to attack? in the early hours of the morning?" Hans asked Yu Wusheng by putting down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand. His hand kept rubbing the clairvoyant mirror, this thing is so good, you can see what you want to see from a long distance, but unfortunately, this is summoned by Yu Wuming, it won't exist for long, I don't know if old William will do it.
"No, we haven't eaten yet, they ...... It seems that the meal has already been cooked, and it's a pity that we don't eat it!" Yu Wuming waved his hand, waved the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and was the first to turn over the Dixinglong standing beside him.
"Haha, that's good, let's go to dinner!" In the past three days, Bell has gone from being suspicious to completely letting go, he has fully recognized Yu Wusheng's command, this little guy's command technique is very strange, it looks like he is attacking the local garrison, but it is all on this cavalry company, only this kind of troops, can they have a large number of supplies they need.
Today is finally going to make a move on this cavalry company, it has just gotten dark, and the platoons of the third independent cavalry company of the Saxon Seventh Division of the Angsa Empire have lined up to prepare for dinner, and no one expected that not far behind them, the seven-headed earth dragon was emerging from the darkness.
There were no strange cries that often made when the cavalry attacked, there was no drum-like sound of horses' hooves when a large group of cavalry passed by, and there were only a few howls from wild beasts coming from nowhere in the field.
"Squad leader, do you see anything?" one of the soldiers suddenly felt something flying over them, and he looked up at the sky, where there was nothing but the darkness before the stars rose.
"You're nervous again! Line up, eat immediately, eat well, and rest, you still have to stand on the night guard!" The squad leader turned around, glared at him fiercely, scolded, turned around, and handed the lunch box to the chef who was about to serve the rice, but the chef raised his head and looked at the sky in a daze.
"Alas, old John, what are you looking at? Hurry up, I've been dead for the past two days, I'm going to have to sleep well after eating early!" the squad leader knocked on the edge of the rice bucket with the lunch box, and urged the cook anxiously.
The chef named John raised his hand and pointed behind the squad leader, and only let out a meaningless "heh, heh" sound from his mouth, and the squad leader had to look back at him for the last time in this world, and in his eyes, a dark red ball of fire fell from the sky, instantly enveloping the squad leader and the cook.
By the time the fireball hit the ground and exploded into flames, the two men had disappeared from the world as if they had never appeared, along with the bucket of soup that had just been burned and had not yet been touched.
It took a long time for a soldier to react and shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack!"
The camp fell into chaos in an instant, and Yu Wuming and they ran around the camp, and Yu Wuming smashed countless fireballs into those tents, and the fireballs immediately burned into fires when they touched the tents, providing them with the best lighting.
Countless wind blades were thrown at the Angsa soldiers who were scurrying around, panicking, shoving, and completely out of content.
The company commander rushed out of the tent and ordered loudly: "Don't panic! All platoons and squads immediately gather up their personnel and find your horses at once! ...... immediately." Before he could finish his order, a crossbow bolt had already flown into his wide open mouth, suffocating the second half of his command in his mouth.
The deputy company commander also ran out, he saw the company commander giving orders, and also saw the company commander suddenly planted on the ground, he immediately took over the command, and a new order shouted from his mouth: "Assemble immediately! Beware of snipers! The opponent has a sniper ......" Similarly, his order was not finished, a crossbow arrow passed through his eyes and pierced through the back of his head, but for more than ten seconds, he also followed in the footsteps of the company commander, I really don't know if he regretted proposing to the company commander to camp at the moment before he died.
A platoon commander rushed to the edge of the two tents of the company headquarters, which had become two huge torches, and he grabbed the company documents running around and asked loudly: "What about the company commander? What about the deputy company commander?"
"Dead, all dead!" the clerk was obviously frightened and couldn't say anything but these two sentences.
A platoon of the clerk's hand was released, and the clerk immediately ran aimlessly again, but before he could take two steps, a crossbow arrow flew from somewhere, and it was not until the clerk's body fell that the platoon leader realized that a very experienced sniper was outside their camp.
A platoon leader threw himself on the ground in fright, and shouted loudly: "Be careful, there are sniper crossbowmen on the other side, everyone lean down, beware of hidden arrows!"
After this sentence was shouted, there was a "ding", and a crossbow arrow appeared in front of his eyes, and he shrank his neck in fright, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.
Yu Wuming and Heinz controlled the earthly dragon under their crotch, walking slowly around the camp, they no longer needed to be protected by others, the other camp's camp was a mess, as long as anyone dared to jump out and shout, two crossbow arrows would immediately beckon him.
As for the small group of centaurs who gathered together, Yu Wuming would immediately give them a bunch of magic groups mixed with fireballs and wind blades, although they were all low-level magic that did not kill much, but it was enough to disrupt the other party's assembly.
After Vivien, who attacked first, sent out a breath attack, she was basically out of business. She hovered over the camp, using the radar projection of the two dragons, and she coordinated the work, summoning Bell and them to rush to get the escaped guys where they should be if anyone wanted to escape.
In half an hour, a camp of more than a hundred people was empty, and once again they had managed to wipe out the enemy, and all the tents in the camp were burning except for the tents in the kitchen and warehouse, and the seven of them found a large pot of food in the kitchen that had not been touched, and of course, there were not many other supplies, and they sat down to eat a hot meal first, they had not eaten anything hot for nearly a week, and then they had scavenged enough for them to eat for three or four days, and these supplies were carried on the back of the Humvee.
The seven men continued to retreat northward, and as they disappeared into the northern night, the flames in the camp gradually extinguished, and it was not until the next day, when the heralds found the camp, that they found that another very formed unit had been killed by a mere seven-man squad.
However, Vivien's seven of them seemed to run out of good fortune, and as they were on their way, a battalion of archers was heading south, and they were only about a day's journey away from Vivien.
This unit was the same unit that had approached them at the request of the 3rd Independent Company, and they had received a request from the 3rd Company last night to leave the Rhine crossing where they were stationed and head south.
