Chapter Ninety-Eight: Night Attack (I)
Outside the city of Shunzhou Prefecture, dark clouds covered the moon, and the barbarians who attacked the city were resting in the camp.
In the camp, almost everyone was asleep in the dark lights, and the few sentinels were only on guard on the side of the city, and there were almost no sentinels on the periphery.
This time, the cave masters and their subordinates suddenly went down the mountain to attack various counties and counties, and before the officers and soldiers could react, they could not organize a strong counterattack for a while and a half in the city, and it was impossible for reinforcements from other places to come over so quickly, so there was no need to guard the periphery.
Almost all the barbarians thought like this: Wait until tomorrow to work hard to break through the state city, and when the time comes, the people, livestock, money, and grain in the city will be plundered and returned to the mountain, and an empty city will be left for the late officers and soldiers.
A large tent in the camp leaked dim light, and the owner of the village flew on the straw mat in the tent, sweating profusely and 'ploughing' the woman under him, the woman was wearing a cloak and looking pained, and was gagged and writhing slightly under her body.
This is the little lady who flew to the village a few days ago with his troops down the mountain to loot the county, and compared with the black and thin mother-in-law in the mountains, this little lady's fine skin and tender meat made him love it, and he had to 'cultivate' it every night.
This is still a civilian woman in an ordinary state and county, and after breaking through the Licheng next to her, the rich lady inside is afraid that it will be even more ecstatic, so the owner of the flying village has a very strong desire to take Licheng.
Grain, money, women, livestock, and children of half age were brought back, half of the men were killed, and the obedient ones were taken back as slaves, and the old and the young were all slaughtered so that food rations would not be wasted.
This is the decision of the owner of the flying village and several other fellow village owners, his strength is the greatest, so he is respected as the commander-in-chief, waiting to break through the state city and loot it, and then hurry back to the mountain not to entangle with the official army.
As long as a woman is still old enough to give birth to the people, she can reproduce more offspring with a woman, and the half-grown child is best trained, and it is more certain to grab water and land with other villages when the number of people is large, so the city with a population of tens of thousands must be taken!
The owner of the flying village is turning the sky in the main account, and there is an accident on the southeast side of the camp.
Outside the camp, a sentry barbarian was in the field to relieve himself, and after he was done, he shook his head and was about to talk to his partner waiting behind, but he found that there was no one, and before he could react, he was covered by someone from behind, and then his head was twisted violently, and his neck hurt and he lost consciousness.
The barbarian soldier ran out of breath, Yang Ji put him down on the ground, looked around for a while, and found that there was no movement, so he beckoned back, countless black shadows shook and slowly approached him, after listening to Yang Ji's low command, he dispersed in small groups and slowly touched the barbarian camp not far away.
After another hundred meters they stopped, and there was silence all around them, except for the chirping of countless insects in the grass, and a moment later a large number of men and horses followed them from the place where they had been.
I don't know how many people there are, all of them are stubborn and stubborn, taking advantage of the hazy moonlight to move forward silently, and after the round with the vanguard, a few people get together and mutter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the soil on the left side of the river in front of you is relaxed, and you have to walk on the right side of the horse for a while, which is the right side of the big rock."
Zhou Faming explained the terrain around here in a low voice to several generals, and the leader of the long knife team Yang Ji, the military master Chen Wudi who followed behind, the cavalry master Yuwen Fifteen, the spear master Xiong Da, Xie Laosan, and the bow and arrow master Tian Zhengyue and Hao Daring were all listed.
The fifth brother of the military lord Chen assigned the responsibilities of each person: "In a while, the leader of the Yang team will lead the long knife team to take the lead on the left flank, Xiong Da and Xie Laosan will take their respective squares to follow and ignite the fire, and Tian Zhengyue and Hao Daring will take the brothers in the building to follow and release rockets. ”
"The general led Liang Dingxing's phalanx to press the formation in the rear, Chen Qijin's phalanx responded on the periphery, and the lord of Yuwen and Zhou Langjun led the cavalry to set fire to the right flank."
"Push all the way north, don't catch prisoners and don't leave a living mouth, drive the barbarians north!"
After Chen Wudi finished speaking, seeing that everyone had no opinions, he signaled to act separately.
After a stick of incense, Yang Ji led his men to the periphery of the camp.
"Tie a strip of white cloth around your head and put on your mask!"
Listening to an order, Zhengtian Xiaoqi of the long knife team took out the white cloth strip that had been prepared long ago from his arms and tied it on his head, and then put on a skull mask, which was specially created by the Xiyang County Prince, in addition to being used as a mask to protect his face, but also to scare people.
Thinking about the night drills, the recruits were so frightened by their own group of people that Tian Xiaoqi felt refreshed, and the tricks of the county prince's torture were endless, and the recruits wanted to die.
Not to mention anything else, in the middle of the night, the new recruits couldn't sleep at night by suddenly beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night, and later organized a night march around Anlu City.
Tian Xiaoqi and other soldiers of the long knife team were sent to pretend to be ghosts and scare the gang of cowards, that is, a group of people wearing masks stood outside the city, all with their heads bowed and silent, and turned their heads to look at them when the cowards behind them passed by.
In order to avoid causing trouble, the chief of each leader would loudly warn the trainers when the team was about to approach them, and some people began to play ghosts, but even so, many recruits collapsed to the ground in fright.
I don't know how many nights have been tossed and turned like this in the past four months, and everyone has no fear of night action, and now it is the bloody touch camp.
Since the battle of Yongyang City a few days ago, a small group of barbarians have been wiped out one after another, and the blood has been seen several times in a row, so that everyone has adapted to the bloody battlefield, and the gun is not shaken, and the archery is also held steadily, and the feeling of wielding a knife and slashing people is becoming more and more comfortable.
I can't lose to Pork Chen this time! Tian Xiaoqi thought so.
Yang Ji, the owner of the long knife team, selected 100 people to teach the knife method, Tian Xiaoqi and Chen Midou are among the best, so they were appointed as the left and right team members, they are also rivals in each competition, the first place in the knife competition has pork to eat, Chen Midou is the first to take the most pork, and the most pork is eaten, so it is called 'pork Chen'.
Tian Xiaoqi thought in his heart, but when he looked up, what he saw was a 'skeleton man', and at this time and now he was surrounded by a group of ghostly people, and Tian Xiaoqi, who had already adapted to the skeleton mask, still jumped violently in his heart.
He felt that this mask was too penetrating, and the county prince's thoughts were really incomprehensible.
In another place, Zhou Faming, who was dressed in armor and rode a bow and arrow, a spear, and a saber at his waist, turned over and mounted his horse, and Yuwen 15 and a group of cavalrymen in the same attire were already in full array.
Zhou Faming looked at the black pressure and pressed a large area towards the Baman camp, and sighed: How did the prince of Xiyang County train this group of soldiers!
The Zhou family's troops can also attack at night, but they are all veterans of a hundred battles in the big waves, and they have survived countless life-and-death struggles, but the group of recruits in front of them are said to be suffering from not even having enough to eat four months ago Haha, Zhou Faming can't figure out what they have experienced to be able to march at night to this point.
When Zhou Faming started the night attack earlier, he noticed how this group of rookies who dared to attack at night marched at night, and the result was not surprising: every tithing was a straw rope with ten loose knots tied on it, and everyone put the knots on their hands and followed the head of the long march.
A group of people walking with a rope at night can prevent the soldiers from getting separated, and the knots are loose and can be quickly removed in case of an emergency, so as not to be unlucky with the people on one rope in case of an attack, but this is not the point.
The point is why these people do not have any eye vision at night, that is, there are no 'blindfolds', and it seems that they are accustomed to walking at night without fear.
Zhou Faming muttered in his heart, how much rice and meat do you have to feed to raise it? Could it be that he often practiced night marches on weekdays?
In June and July last year, the imperial court sent Wang Yi as the marching marshal to lead the Xiangzhou army and the Jingzhou army to attack Anzhou, and Yu Wenliang's eldest son Yu Wenming took a large army to defend the city in Suizhou Prefecture.
Cui Yanmu, the head of the marching army, led tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city and attacked for more than ten days, with heavy losses, and later Xiangyang was besieged, Cui Yanmu was unable to withdraw the army to help, and Zhou Fashang, who was the assassin of Shunzhou, led the troops south to support Yu Wenming's march, and Zhou Faming also accompanied him.
Looking at the intact Suicheng and the mess outside the city, Zhou Faming admired Yu Wenming who was guarding the city, but he didn't have any thoughts about Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, who was mixed with seniority with the army.
Later, I heard that Yuwenwen went into Chang'an as an envoy to 'shake hands with the imperial court' and be a proton by the way, Zhou Faming felt more and more that Yuwenwen was only useful under the head manager.
But now it looks like this Yuwen Jiro is really interesting! ……
In the camp, a brute came out of the tattered tent with sleepy eyes and was about to go to Xiaojie, because he was not allowed to light the lamp, so it was dark all around, and his eyesight deteriorated at night, and he could not see clearly around him, so he could only touch and walk by feeling.
There was a dim light in the distance, and he turned his head to see that it was the big tent of the village owner, and the lights were not allowed in the camp, but it was only useful for their group of small soldiers, but the village owners didn't care so much.
Thinking that after capturing the county seat that day, the owners of the village not only occupied the big courtyard, but also carried a little lady into the room to be happy, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not to mention that the daughter-in-law was poor, and even the women were not enough.
His father and uncle are married to a woman, that is, his mother is his daughter-in-law, so he is a little entangled in which is his real father.
He has made up his mind to try to perform well in this attack on the state city, if he has made a great contribution, maybe the owner of the village will reward him with a woman, no matter how he looks, no matter how old he is, as long as he is a woman!
For no reason, a cold wind blew, he shivered, and he was suspicious, but it was still dark and he couldn't see clearly, and a sense of fear surged in his heart, and he wanted to go back to the camp, but he couldn't hold back his pee.
If he peed on the side of the tent, he was afraid that he would be whipped by the leader, so he continued to walk forward, but he didn't take a few steps and bumped into a group of people, and when he saw the faces of the people clearly, his pupils shrank and he collapsed on the ground: there were hideous-looking skeletons on the other side!
The huge sense of fear weighed him down and his teeth were fighting, and he couldn't even speak, and then he saw a pain in his neck in front of him and no longer felt it.
A moment later.
"There's a ghost!!!!!! The terrible howls stopped abruptly as soon as they sounded, and countless black shadows flickered in the camp, and the lights of the fire lit up in the tents everywhere.
