Chapter 113: Counterattack on the Sand Bandits (2)
Li Chuncheng looked at it for a while, rubbed his eyes, and said cautiously: "They have two people and one sentry, they need someone to assist me, it is best for someone with strong martial arts and assassination experience to assist from the side, and we will kill the two sentry together, so as to avoid making a sound or making a sound." ”
Zhang Xiaowu thought about it, then suddenly turned to Chen Boqing and asked, "Chen Daxia, can you help him assassinate the enemy army?" ”
Chen Boqing learned that this person was one of the top ten villains in the Central Plains, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, if he was in the Central Plains, he would definitely pull out his long sword to kill the evil man in front of him, but at the moment, in the face of the sand bandits, he could only choose to cooperate with Li Chuncheng, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Xiaowu arched his hand and said: "One of the top ten masters of Longdu, and the other is the top ten villains of the Central Plains, the combination of the two of you is interesting." I'm going to see which of you has a false name, and who has the real ability. ”
"Okay, official." Li Chuncheng immediately took off his clothes and armor, and even took off his shoes and bare feet, carrying only two short knives, then Chen Boqing was not to be outdone, pulled out the broken sword and held it in his hand, standing side by side with Li Chuncheng, the two looked at each other, and neither seemed to look down on each other, so they turned around and walked to the dark post in the distance.
The corners of Zhang Xiaowu's mouth hooked up a wicked smile.
Xiao Kai said on the side: "My lord, this radical method has worked. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "These two people are both capable of great ability, but they are not suitable for military warfare. ”
Shen Lindong said: "Li Chuncheng is strong in martial arts, but he can't lead troops, so he is only a military commander until now. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If this kind of merit is established, I intend to promote him and be the scout captain of the Dead Soldier Battalion." ”
Li Chuncheng and Chen Boqing relied on their strong martial arts, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak past, their light work skills were very skillful, and they quietly approached the sand bandit sentry. The two sand bandit sentries were sleepy and hazy, and in order to cheer up their spirits, they were forced to talk to each other non-stop. But there was still an hour before dawn, and this was the time when everyone was in the most desperate situation, and although they barely stood guard with their eyes on, they were unaware of the danger around them. In their opinion, the ruins of Roland, which the Han army could only arrive at at least tomorrow at noon, was when they harvested their wealth, so they never thought that the Han army would sneak up on them.
A sand bandit sentry yawned, and suddenly a knife stretched out of his chest from his back, and he was stunned to see a knife growing on his chest, and couldn't help but be startled, how could he grow this object, could it be that the Immortal Heavenly Award gave him a special ability? But soon he realized that something was wrong, a sharp pain hit, blood gushed out, it was the enemy, it was someone who attacked them at night. He tried to shout, but found that his mouth was covered, and after a few struggles, his soul returned to the sky. The other sentry actually fell asleep while sitting, and Chen Boqing broke his neck without much effort, solving the trouble.
Li Chuncheng gave Chen Boqing a thumbs up, Chen Boqing waved his hand and disdainfully, Li Chuncheng said in his heart What are you pretending to be. Both of them used to be good at the rivers and lakes, who can convince whoever comes, especially the two of them, one underworld and one white, and they even use assassination sentries to test their martial arts. Li Chuncheng relied on his youth, Chen Boqing relied on his rich experience, and the two killed all the sand bandit sentries like slaughtering dogs and chickens, but they found that they unconsciously cooperated very smoothly, and even felt a sense of sympathy in their hearts.
"Phew! How can you sympathize with such people! The two hurriedly said.
The composition of the sand bandits was complex, so the sentinels sent out were so numerous and miscellaneous that several secret outposts were withdrawn to avoid overlapping. After Li Chuncheng and Chen Boqing successfully assassinated the last three sentinels, they finally cleared all obstacles, and the two immediately returned to report.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Chen Boqing said, and Li Chuncheng nodded slightly.
Zhang Xiaowu ordered them to rest for a while, and said, "Everyone dismount, Zhao Suo, you take your own team to guard the horses." Others, with blades and arrows, come close to me, and don't make a sound on the way. Prepare rockets as soon as you get close to the bandits' tents, and when my rockets are fired, you burn the bandits' tents first and then burn the baggage. Only prepare three rounds of rockets, and after three rounds, you will immediately shoot and kill with three arrows, only to kill and injure the number of bandits, not to shoot accurately. After all the bows and arrows have been shot, the generals will follow me into the camp from the upwind. Zu Gongmao, you are now leading two teams of men and horses to attack the stables and baggage, and the rest of you, after entering the camp, take me as the central formation, and the whole army will be killed in a Yanling formation. ”
"Whoa." The generals said.
The troops quietly approached the sand bandit camp, Zhang Xiaowu grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, and was excited when he saw that the wind was due south. The sand bandits set up camp on the west side of Ruined City, which was originally the royal palace of the Roland Empire 600 years ago, but now it is deserted, but there are still many stone houses to shelter from the wind. The wind was blowing from south to north, and if it caught fire, it would be even more blazing, and he immediately led the sergeants quietly to the southernmost position in the middle of the bandits' tent.
Zhang Xiaowu and the others saw that they were only one hundred and fifty steps away from the sand bandit village, so they took out the arrows that had been prepared a long time ago, and the front part of the arrows helped the cloth strips soaked in tung oil.
"Wind! Ignite! Zhang Xiaowu said, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Shoot!" ”
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
The sound of arrows crossing the starry sky sounded instantly, and soon the bandits' tents were set on fire, and a large number of arrows were quickly thrown into the camp, dozens of tents caught fire almost at the same time, countless sparks flickered, and black smoke billowed out. Although the sand bandits have been killing people and stealing camps all year round, they didn't expect to be stolen by the champion this time, and at this time, many people are still dreaming, and even some people who drank wine and slept to death at night were burned to death in a daze.
More sand bandits fled from the camp in panic, and at this time, the Han army changed from rockets to scattering, and a large number of arrows were thrown into the camp, and the sand bandits who fled in panic were shot dead and wounded. Some sand bandits on the edge of the camp escaped from the tents, and when they saw that the camp was full of fires and dead people, they immediately fled to the ruins of Garan, and some fled in the direction of the desert without even wearing shoes, but they did not want to crash into the ranks of the Han army, and were quickly shot to the ground by the Han army's bows and arrows.
A sand bandit with fire on his body, probably with oil or liquor with him, exploded violently, and the whole person became a living person, and he ran everywhere screaming, and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames, but did not want to ignite more tents. The ruins are extremely dry, grain, grass, fur, tents and even livestock are extremely easy to be lit, one fire may be everywhere, not to mention Zhang Xiaowu let everyone scatter and kill the enemy, the camp of the sand bandits is full of arrows and arrows, like hell on earth.
"Stop scattering, aim to shoot." After Zhang Xiaowu saw that everyone had exhausted a pot of arrows, he immediately ordered.
The soldiers then fired their bows at those who were ready to take up arms to resist, and the sergeants were indifferent to the death of the bandits in front of them, and if any of the bandit leaders organized a rebellion, the sergeants immediately shot them.
Zhang Xiaowu's arm strength is very big, every arrow will be full of bows, and even sometimes an arrow through two people, after shooting a sand bandit, Zhang Xiaowu touched the back of the quiver empty, then threw the quiver and arrow cluster on the ground, turned around and blew the whistle.
Zhao Suo, Wang Yijin and the others couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately drove the horses to approach them. After Wang Yijin followed Zhang Xiaowu closely, the cowardly person at the beginning also became bold and tenacious, and Wang Yijin grew rapidly after the experience.
"Damn, I should have brought three pots of arrows." Zhang Xiaowu regretted it, he got up and looked, only to see that several places on the left and right were set on fire, and when the wind blew at night, the burning place burned other places into pieces. The horses of the sand bandits were frightened and fled in all directions, and in a panic, many of the sand bandits were killed and trampled to death.
Bomb the camp, sand bandits blow up the camp!
Zu Gongmao's side also succeeded in the sneak attack, the sand bandits' baggage and war horses were all set on fire, Zhang Xiaowu was overjoyed, and when he looked back, Zhao Suo and other pro-soldiers were driving the horses forward.
Chen Boqing has no bow and arrow, of course, as a hero, he is not used to using a bow, and he seems to be the only one in the whole team. At that moment, he saw that the enemy's camp was on fire, and many people were burned to death or trampled to death, and his heart was shocked, this is the army, this is the war, and the war is completely different from the vendetta in the rivers and lakes. At this time, he suddenly thought of being attacked by sand bandits last time, and said in confusion: "Master Xiaozuo, I don't know something, why didn't I wait for the sand bandits to sneak attack me two days ago?" Don't sand bandits know that fire can cause damage? How could the sand bandits be so kind to us? ”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and asked rhetorically: "When you came to meet the sand bandits, did they use rockets?" ”
Chen Boqing said: "I haven't used it." ”
"That's right." Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were bright, and he sneered: "Actually, the reason is very simple, the sand bandits are just bandits, they want to kill your Gu family, but also want to take more property, and even want to snatch Miss Gu family as the wife of the village." Banditry is greed, they want more, and greed hurts them. Besides, they are bandits, not soldiers, and our soldiers take killing as their nature, can Chen Daxia understand? ”
Chen Boqing thought about it carefully, and sure enough, this was the truth, the Han army did not need to loot finances like sand bandits, so they burned and destroyed as boldly as possible. On the contrary, the sand bandits were cautious, for fear of damaging "their own things". Thinking about this, he couldn't help laughing, and secretly admired Zhang Xiaowu in his heart, in fact, the reason is very simple, but he is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he will not consider it from other aspects, but this young school Zuo has an extremely clear mind. He admitted in his heart that he had underestimated this ghost general before, and sure enough, there must be talents under the fame, and those who can survive on the battlefield have their own abilities.
Chen Boqing is a bright and upright man, and he can't help but admire: "Zhang Xiaozuo is so young, his experience is so rich, and his mind is so smart, which is really admirable." ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said no more, neither denying nor admitting it, he suddenly found a short and strong man surrounded by several guards, although the guards were injured by arrows, they still tried their best to protect the strong man.
