Chapter 743: Shock and Deterrence (4)

Meng Zhixiang's management of the army is also relatively rigorous, even if it is deep outside the plug, he has arranged things for the defense of the camp very well.

In addition to the small town in the core, there were also soldiers patrolling the camp, and sentries were placed in all four directions outside the camp.

However, because Meng Zhixiang took away many elites in the clan, the patrol intensity is naturally reduced now.

Outside the camp are fixed posts in all four directions, not fixed, but in a small area, and this range is centered on a few watchtowers.

There are several watchtowers in each direction, separated by a distance of 100 zhang from each other.

As for the military system under Meng Zhixiang, it is arranged according to ten households and one hundred households, which is easy to manage.

Ten households are in charge of one watchtower, but now there are only five people in each watchtower, two people on the watchtower, and the other few people are burning outside the tents under the watchtower.

There are some lights in the direction of the camp at this time, and the brightest is still the small city, which is a place that many people envy, and it is naturally much more comfortable to live in than a tent.

Because there is a ten-household chief among the five people, the ten-household chief does not need to go to the guard tower, so the other four people are on duty in turn.

The three people who were baking the fire below were naturally talking and laughing, not knowing that danger was coming.

Hundreds of paces away from them, several dark figures were approaching, and when they were a hundred paces away, they stopped.

The leader of these black shadows is Li Cunxuan, and the rest of the people are his subordinates.

Li Cunmiao is now 12 years old, perhaps inheriting the genes of his father Li Keyong, even if he is only 12 years old, his height is already more than five feet, not much different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old adult man, only the immaturity on his face proves that he is not very old.

Don't look at Li Cunmiao, who is only 12 years old, but he is good at riding and shooting, and he is brave and brave.

There is also a group of people under him, all of whom are teenagers and half-olds, like a child king.

Li Cunmiao is nominally the son of the Liu family, although he is not biological, but it is not wrong that Li Cunmiao is Li Keyong's son.

Because of this relationship, the Liu family is very doting on Li Cunxuan, and Li Siyuan also takes care of this righteous brother.

This expedition, it was Li Cunmiao who took the initiative to ask for battle, and Li Siyuan agreed after thinking about it.

Looking at the sentries in front of him, Li Cunqiao was also thinking about how to deal with it.

This is very different from the arming methods of other grassland departments, and it has an obvious Tang style.

Li Cunqiao glanced at several of his subordinates, all of them were very excited, and he was the same, pointing to four of them, "The four of you are responsible for solving the three people below, and as for the sentry on the sentry tower, hand it over to me." Be careful, don't get noticed. ”

Li Cunqiao and his entourage of more than a dozen people bent down and quietly approached the guard tower, and when they were more than 20 steps away, everyone stopped.

They didn't dare to go any further, for they could hear the voices of several fire sentries at this distance.

Li Cunmiao looked at the sentry on one of the watchtowers, who turned his head from time to time to look at the camp and the tent below, and only glanced outside for a while, but it was all pitch black, and he had no interest in continuing to look.

Li Cunqiao stretched out his bow and arrows, slowly pulled the bowstring, and aimed at the neck of the sentry, and the moment the sentry turned around, the string loosened, and the black arrow shot towards the other party like a bolt of lightning.

The sentry turned around, and with a 'poof' sound, the arrow went straight through his throat, and the sentry covered his neck with a hideous face, trying to scream, but couldn't, and then fell down without saying a word.

Li Cunmiao barely stopped, he shot another arrow at the second sentry, and the second sentry planted the sentry tower directly.

The death of the previous sentry could not be detected, but this one planted directly could not be hidden.

The three people who were warming the ground heard a 'bang' and were alarmed, but before they could get up, several sharp arrows were shot, and with a few 'poof' sounds, the ten heads of households and two resting sentries were shot through.

Li Cunmiao rushed over with someone, this movement was a bit big, and he was also worried about being detected.

However, what made him happy was that the guessed sound of the chirping did not come, and it seemed that on this snowy night, the enemy in front of him was not at all defenseless.

After solving the sentry, a group of subordinates behind Li Cunqiao led the horse forward.

Li Cunmiao turned over his horse, held a long lance, and slowly walked towards the enemy camp in front of him, always paying attention to the order of the whole army to attack.

。。。。。。

"Woooooooooooo

The dull sound of the horn sounded in the snowy night, and many of the herdsmen of the tribe were awakened by the sound of the horn, and the soldiers on patrol were like a great enemy.

"What's going on?"

One of the generals heard the dull sound of the trumpet and roared.

Feeling the sound of the horn coming from outside, the general looked out of the camp with some confusion, wondering why the sentry didn't warn, could anyone really dare to attack their tribe?

Before he could react, several sharp arrows whizzed, one of which pierced through his abdomen, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were taken aback, and they all looked outside the tribe and saw the black cavalry rushing in.

Someone really dares to attack them!

For a time, the whole tribe was in chaos, and many adult men with weapons and armor did not even have time to put on their armor before they walked out of the tent and rode towards the invading enemy.

The patrolling soldiers began to counterattack under the orders of their respective generals, and there was no need to warn them at all, and the whole tribe knew that someone was attacking them.

In the darkness of the night, these tribal warriors woke up from their dreams, and there was no time to make an effective counterattack. As more and more enemies entered the camp, the entire periphery of the tribe was plunged into a sea of swords and fires, and the shouts of killing and screams were endless.

。。。。。。

Kang Yanxiao made a round before and went back to his house to sleep after the defense was fine. As soon as he heard the shouts of killing from outside, he woke up from his sleep, and after several years of riding horses, he realized that something was wrong.

He hurriedly got up and put on his armor, held his knife and prepared to go out, when there was a knock on the door from outside, and as soon as it was opened, he saw several of his men standing in front of the door.

"General, someone is attacking the camp!"

"Who?"

"Some of them are like the Shatuo Clan and the Shulu Clan, there are a lot of people, at least tens of thousands of cavalry!"

"Shatuobu? Why are they so ruthless? Hearing this news, Kang Yanxiao was a little angry, although they are no longer from the Shatuo Department now, but after all, they are not enemies of the Shatuo Ministry, let alone have a deep hatred, "Pass the order, gather the guards and their respective cronies, and defend them to the death!" ”

"Yes, General!"

One of his subordinates ran quickly, Kang Yanxiao glanced at the direction of Meng Zhixiang's mansion, and immediately ordered a cronie next to him, "You go and prepare a fast horse, and the others will come with me!" ”
