In the middle of the night, a troop is advancing, and the first ten miles are still lit with torches, after all, without this, most of the soldiers can't see the road at all, which is also a common problem of many soldiers in this era - night blindness!

Maybe it's not a big problem for the imperial court forbidden army to eat and drink well, but the Yellow Turban thieves were originally a group of ordinary people, if they didn't have enough to eat and couldn't survive, how could they revolt angrily? Even if you eat better in the future, night blindness is not so easy to cure.

Widely spread the torches, Rao is so, and beyond the torches is also a darkness, as if he is isolated from this world.

In the last five miles, in the distance, when some fires seemed to have been seen, one of the leaders announced that the torch would be extinguished. After a while, these 3,000 soldiers seemed to be in the darkness and could not see anything.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand ......" the soldiers whispered, only by chanting this slogan can they make their hearts peaceful.

Fortunately, the campfire in the distance, surrounded by comrades who whispered slogans, could give them hope, and a little walk, the firelight was getting closer and closer to them. Within sight, a military camp appeared, which was a particularly conspicuous presence in the darkness.

"Charge with me!" There was a leader who couldn't stand the dark environment, so he shouted.

"Charge!" The other had planned to wait, after all, there were still two miles to go. However, his companion had already charged, and he had to direct the charge.

The soldiers got the military order, and they walked towards the barracks with all their might, and only by going there could they return to the bright world! They've had enough, this dark environment where you can't see your fingers, it's terrible!

"Hehe, it seems that they are sleeping really sweetly, but the enemy is in front of them, but they don't know it yet." The leader who led the charge was almost in front of the camp. Since it was only a temporary rest, there were no defensive measures such as fences, horse rejection and traps, but only a bunch of bonfires were placed at intervals twenty or thirty meters outside the camp for the purpose of warning in advance.

The range of the fire can reach about 50 meters, and when the enemy rushes over, the soldiers on duty can also detect the gong. This will probably give the soldiers resting inside about twenty seconds of reaction time. Similar basic operations, Liu Tao had already done it several times during military training.

It is said that the other party has been killed, and the noise is so loud, generally speaking, the barracks should have entered a state of alert. But tonight is different, the barracks are quiet, and the other party has not reacted when they come over, as if it is a dead camp.

"Lao Gao, there are no soldiers on patrol, will there be fraud?" The difference is that the other boss obviously has some brains, otherwise he would not have come up with a plan for a night attack. He immediately stopped his classmates, and then motioned for the army to slow down.

"Don't you say that they must be tired when they come from afar, and at the same time know that there are only two thousand men at the outpost, but they do not know that we now have three thousand soldiers...... Let's look at this camp, the scale of the camp is at most 2,000 people, and after deducting the baggage soldiers, the soldiers are no more than 1,000, even if we are hard-hitting, we are not afraid! Hearing this, Lao Gao slowed down his progress a little, looked at it carefully, and then replied. The army has arrived, and I really don't want to give up halfway.

Especially from the follow-up information from the villagers, this army seems to be escorting a caravan. If you don't say anything else, just say that the thousand war horses are greedy. If you can get it, you can't say that you can go further.

"Well, then charge!" The other leader, no longer confused, gritted his teeth and motioned for the large army to charge.

At this moment, it is less than fifty meters away from Liu Taojun's camp. At this moment, a hundred archers rushed out of the tent, and a stone bow in the hand of each soldier had been wound.

These one-stone bows were configured for Liu Tao after Zou Jing's circumstance, otherwise the previous half-stone bow would not be enough. At the same time, these archers are strong enough that if they only shoot once in a while, it is not a big problem.

The aim is difficult to guarantee, but unlike the projectile and the flat shot, the aim is not much needed, just the angle is consistent.

The original effective range was twenty meters, and the projectile could even start firing at forty or fifty meters. Nowadays, it has been changed to a stone bow, and in the case of projectile, it can be adjusted up to sixty or seventy meters, and the maximum can be as high as eighty meters.

The soldiers lined up at the first time, and then under the command of the commander, they drew the bowstring to the full, and raised it about forty-five degrees.

"Shoot!" The commander gave an order, and the soldiers shot arrows one after another.

In the end, it is a stone bow, and its penetration is much stronger than that of a hunting bow. At the same time, the yellow turban thieves were also caught off guard, and before they could react, hundreds of arrows had already shot towards them.

"There's an ambush!" Lao Gao suddenly exclaimed, but two of the arrows had already hit his body, but fortunately they were blocked by the armor, but they were only wounded by flesh and skin, but did not hurt his internal organs.

The others were not so lucky, the yellow turban thieves rarely had leather armor, and the cloth armor was scarce, and the soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, basically penetrating the flesh and skin, and penetrating into the internal organs.

"Charge, charge!" The other leader shouted, after the other party finished shooting, there was no intention of continuing to shoot, after all, the distance between the two sides was only less than thirty meters, and this distance could be reached within three or five seconds with the speed of his and Lao Gao's horses.

Now, only the charge is the safest, since the night attack is not successful, then it is hard to hit, he still doesn't believe that three thousand people can't carry these two thousand!

Within sight, the archers quickly retreated after shooting, and at the same time, more soldiers stepped forward, but they were two swords and shields (100 people/tun), directly guarding the front of the camp. At the same time, the archers also retreated to the back, ready to shoot.

With sword and shield soldiers in front and archers in the back, this trick can be a miracle when facing an enemy army dominated by infantry and the headquarters is in a good position.

"Spread out, don't huddle together, this camp has no fences!" The old man shouted, he already realized the key.

"Where to go?" At this moment, two pikemen, on the left and right sides of the slither, on one side, nearly a thousand people, spears in hand, began to surround their troops.

"Where did these two troops come from?" At this time, the Yellow Turban thieves probably have this question in their hearts.

They didn't know that Liu Tao arranged the soldiers less than 300 meters away from the camp. When the Yellow Turban Thieves attack, their attention will be focused on the campfire and the camp, ignoring all areas outside of the campfire.

At this time, even if there was an enemy lurking on the side of only 300 meters, they didn't even notice it, this is 'dark under the lights'!

"How do you feel as if we're being attacked by the night? Peng Niu, you explain it to me! Lao Gao roared. Seeing that the two troops were coming quickly, the formation was compressing the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and at the same time, it was shrinking a little bit.

The large army was compressed into a snake formation, and in front of it was Liu Tao's camp, but there were two hundred sword and shield soldiers and one hundred archers in the camp waiting for an opportunity to shoot!

They planned to come over to surround the camp and attack at night, but now they are surrounded by the targets of the night attack, and they are still ambushed early to see the situation. Not to mention Lao Gao, even Peng Niu is a little self-doubting at this moment.

The Han army on the other side, how did they know that they were going to attack at night?!
