Chapter 10: Night Attack

Speaking of Wang Qing, they have been off for half a day at this time, they are walking in the mountains, and they are temporarily resting on the road to eat dry food.

Jinniu Village is only seven days away from the Woniu Cottage where Zhoucang is located, and they set off this morning, and they will not be able to reach the foot of Jinniu Mountain until at least seven days later.

Jinniu Mountain, like Woniu Mountain, is a small peak in the Taihang Mountains, not particularly high, but dense forests. The two mountains are adjacent, starting from Woniu Mountain, you can go to the bottom of Jinniu Mountain without taking the official road, and take the path.

If you take the official road, it will be easier to walk, but you may be discovered by the people of Jinniu Mountain and lose the opportunity to raid. So they walked on the path, but the path was overgrown with bushes, and it was not particularly easy to walk, and some even passed through the woods, but fortunately everyone was full of energy, and they were not particularly tired after walking for a long time.

At this time, Wang Qing was discussing with Dong Hong how to attack after arriving at Jinniu Village.

"I think after we arrive at Jinniuzhai, we will rest for one night first, let everyone recover their strength, and then attack with all our strength." This is Dong Hong's idea.

"No, there are so many of us, resting at the bottom of the mountain, and when the attack is made, it will be daytime, and it will be easy to be discovered, and then the surprise attack will turn into a strong attack, which will be unfavorable to us." Wang Qing retorted.

"But if we attack at night, march for a few days, and arrive at the foot of Jinniu Mountain, the brothers are not physically strong, and the other party is waiting for work, we will not have an advantage either." Dong Hong knew that the scale of the cottage was not large, and he rarely went out to attack other cottages, and the soldiers he led were not used to expeditions, and his physical strength would definitely be worse than that of the other party.

"I know, in this way, let's go faster and try to reach the Jinniu Mountain range in the afternoon. Then let the brothers rest in hiding, get up in the middle of the night and sneak attack, and they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, why didn't I expect it, you still have a brain, and I will listen to you on this expedition."

After deciding on the strategy of the attack, after a short rest, the two of them continued to move forward with the team.

Longshanyu, the only way to go from Woniu Mountain to Jinniu Mountain.

The terrain of Longshanyu is complex, and the surrounding mountains and rocks are numerous.

In the middle of the moon, a waning moon hangs in the sky. Wang Qing led the men and horses to Longshanyu, Wang Qing gave an order, and all the horses stopped at the mouth of the valley, and began to camp to light a fire, ready to rest.

Wang Qing sat next to the bonfire, and a soldier said softly: "My lord, we are only 200 people, how can we attack Jinniuzhai?" ”

This soldier is Wang Qing's personal guard, at this time, after most of the day's march, some of the soldiers' heads have also sobered up, and they do not have the bloody impulse when they were bewitched by Wang Qing in the morning, but with a trace of remorse. Because they all thought of a serious problem, that is, there are only 200 soldiers under Wang Qing's command, but there are more than 1,000 people in Jinniu Village, such a big gap, how can the soldiers fight? These soldiers beat drums in their hearts and don't know what to do?

If you can't beat them, you can escape, and you can save your life.

But they are the vanguard, and they must attack, otherwise they will violate the military order, and there will be no good fruit to eat when they return. But 200 against more than 1,000 people, there was no possibility of victory.

Wang Qing glanced back at the soldier and said, "I remember your name is Liu Cheng, right?" ”

When the soldier heard that Wang Qing knew his name, his expression was overjoyed: "Yes, it is Liu Cheng who is lowly." ”

Wang Qing nodded, his expression was cold, and he scolded: "I will let you know what you should know, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't know." Soldiers, to obey orders as their duty, the commander's orders just carry out, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I know what you think, we have few people, the other side has a lot of people, and I'm scared, right? Hmph, how can I not know your thoughts, you are afraid of death, am I not afraid of death, if there is no chance of success, will I take the initiative to ask for battle? Seeing that you are also a flexible person, think more about things when you encounter them, and don't just think about useless things. ”

Hearing Wang Qing scolding himself, Liu Cheng regretted it in his heart, and he knew that he wouldn't be a head bird.

However, his remorse was instantly replaced by joy, as Wang Qing said, they were afraid of death, and Wang Qing was also afraid of death. Without the certainty of victory, it is impossible for Wang Qing to take the initiative to ask for battle. Even if it fails, Wang Qing will find a way to protect everyone, they are small soldiers, and Wang Qing is a centurion, and he is the vanguard this time, Wang Qing's identity is much more expensive than their big soldiers, since Wang Qing can take the initiative to ask for battle, there must be a way to win.

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng showed a smile on his face again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the lowly position is wrong, and the lowly position will do things." ”

Wang Qing watched Liu Cheng leave, a smile appeared on his face, and appeased Liu Cheng, which was equivalent to appeasing other soldiers.

In the next few days, Wang Qing ordered to speed up the march, but fortunately, they were all in the mountains and forests, there were many wild beasts, and everyone's food was not bad, and everyone had no complaints

On the seventh day, almost after Shen Shi, that is, after three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination, Wang Qing asked his men to rest in hiding, because they were close, and they did not make a fire, but only ate some dry food.

Fortunately, it was not cold, and the soldiers fell asleep together after eating, and Wang Qing arranged for three teams of people to take turns to sentry, which could not only ensure everyone's combat effectiveness, but also not be discovered.

At night, at midnight, the moonlight sprinkled down on the ground like still water, and a few stars winked playfully. It's just that these beautiful nights have hidden murderous intentions.

Jinniu cottage, at the entrance of the foot of the mountain set up a camp, the bright torches at the door crackled and burned non-stop, the camp shone red.

In the camp, one or two people can occasionally be seen, but they are not patrolling, they just come out to get up at night. Almost everyone was asleep, and even the night watchmen were dozing against the trees. However, the whole camp was not silent, and shouts could be faintly heard, and it seemed that there were still people gathered to drink and eat meat.

"Chirp~Tweet~~"

A nightingale's chirping sounded, and a crisp and melodious sound resounded through the night sky.

Hearing the chirping of the nightingale, the soldiers who were keeping watch in the camp woke up, and seeing that there was no sound around them, they changed their positions and went back to sleep. At the gate of the camp, on the arrow towers on the left and right sides, the soldiers in charge of the vigilance looked shocked, and at the same time looked into the woods, looked at the mountains and forests where the nightingales were chirping in the distance, and saw that there was silence in the mountains and forests, and there were no birds startled, so they stood in the arrow tower again and discussed when the successor would come, so that they could go down and drink two cups.

At this time, in the mountains and forests a hundred meters away from the camp, a sound of Suo Suo sounded.

Four black figures shuttled through the mountains and forests, quickly approaching the officer and soldier camp, led by a young man, followed by three young and strong young men. The young man was holding a spear and carrying a longbow and quiver behind him, and the three young men behind him were all holding longbows and two quivers behind their backs, and the three of them followed closely behind the young man, looking vigilantly at the dense forest ahead.

"Ziwu, you can't move on, if you continue to sneak further, you may be discovered by the officers and soldiers."

The body of one of the young men with a longbow leaped and blocked the young man's progress. This person is none other than Wu Qin, the eldest of the three Wu brothers. When the night was dark, Wang Qing, Wu Qin, Wu Shi, and Wu Ming lurked in the woods, and quickly touched the camp at the foot of Jinniu Mountain, and asked Gu De and Dong Hong to lead the other soldiers to attack together after waiting for the signal.

The second Wu Shi also stood beside Wang Qing and said softly: "What my brother said is reasonable, Ziwu, you can't move forward." ”

Wang Qing smiled and said, "Advance two or three more feet, and then we will separate and grope forward, and solve the enemies on the arrow tower separately." ”

The three Wu brothers visually measured the distance between the camp and the mountain forest, about a hundred meters, this distance, and then ventured to touch a little distance, with their archery skills, it is not difficult to solve the enemy on the arrow tower, and they should not have thought that someone would come to sneak attack, which increased the possibility of success.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Qin and the others nodded and said, "Ziwu, you must be careful, you must not let the other party find out." ”

Wang Qing smiled, did not speak, and Wu Ming's group walked slowly towards the arrow tower on the left, Wu Qin's target was the soldier on the arrow tower on the right, because the trees were lush and trees, and the soldiers who were standing on the arrow tower and were on guard did not expect someone to sneak attack, and their minds were already in the wine bureau below.

More importantly, there are two torches on the arrow towers on both sides of the camp that are crackling and burning, making the arrow towers extremely bright, so that in the dark night, only the people hiding in the dark can see the soldiers on guard, and it is impossible for the soldiers on guard to find the people hiding in the shadows.

Wang Qing stood about eighty meters away from the camp, inhaled intently, slowly pulled out the longbow in his hand, put on the bow and arrow, and aimed at the soldiers on the left side of the arrow tower in the distance.

"Wu Ming, let's do it together, I'll solve the one leaning on the pillar of the arrow tower, and you solve the one next to it."

Wang Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the soldiers on guard in the distance, and ordered in a deep voice.

Wu Shi nodded, took out the longbow behind his back, and slowly pulled it away to aim at his target.

Wang Qing saw that Wu Qin and the others were also in place, and after saying a word about doing it, he let go of the bowstring.

Before the soldier on the arrow tower on the left could react, he was shot through the throat by two pitch-black bows and arrows, and a bow and arrow that passed through the neck slammed on the beams and pillars supporting the arrow tower, and the tail of the arrow feathers trembled with a buzz, and the soldier who was pierced through the throat by an arrow opened his mouth wide, and his mouth made a ho-ho roar, but his throat was pierced by a bow and arrow, and the veteran couldn't make a sound at all, but struggled for a moment, and then fell to the ground, convulsed twice and didn't breathe.

The soldiers standing on the arrow tower on the right side of the camp heard the sound, looked at the arrow tower on the left, looked at the soldiers on the arrow tower on the opposite side and the feather arrows stuck in the throat, showed a trace of horror in their eyes, held the knife in both hands in front of their chests, showed a look of horror in their eyes, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, Lao Cai, enemy attack ~~~"

"Ah~~ Lao Wang, flash it!"

The soldier known as Lao Cai suddenly looked shocked, "

At this time, they had already determined that someone had sneak attacked, but as soon as they shouted, they were killed by two feather arrows shot from the darkness, it was Wu Qin and they made a move, but they were a few breaths later than Wang Qing.

Because of the roar of these two soldiers, the soldiers who were drinking ran to the gate of the camp one after another, about a dozen people, on guard to prevent anyone from sneaking up.

"Whew~Whew~~"

A shrill hissing sound came from the woods, and several pitch-black bows and arrows flew out of the woods, heading straight for the soldiers at the gate of the camp, the soldiers' pupils shrank, and then they fell down with the feathered arrows stuck in their throats, their eyes wide open and full of unwillingness and disbelief.

"Huh~~ It's so dangerous, I almost got shot!"

The soldier who was not hit by the arrow next to him breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dodged the dark arrow, but at this moment, another screaming sound came, and one after another pitch-black bows and arrows shot out, and before the soldiers could react, they instantly penetrated the hearts of the soldiers, and some of the arrows contained huge power, bringing the soldiers up and hitting the fence next to the arrow tower.

With a click, the soldier's body slammed into the fence, breaking the wood that had built the arrow tower, and the soldier fell from the arrow tower, and his body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Send a signal, let Dong Hong and them bring someone over", Wang Qing said to Wu Ming.

Wu Shi nodded, the thumb and index finger of his left hand reached into his mouth, and he suddenly blew, and suddenly a nightingale chirping sound came from Wu Shi's mouth, so that one sound was issued at an interval, and after two sounds, a long nightingale chirp was emitted, which was the offensive signal they agreed with Dong Hong and Gude. The crisp and melodious birdsong kept echoing in the woods, and Dong Hong, who was waiting in the woods behind them in the distance, heard it, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Attack", and rushed forward with a big knife.
