Chapter 12: Night Raid 2
"What's going on? Liu Er? Liu Er? Not good! Enemy attack! Enemy...... Enemy attack ......" Not too far away another soldier heard the sound, looked this way, through the torch inserted in the ground, he suddenly saw that Liu Er fell to the ground, and immediately realized what had happened, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately tore his throat and screamed, but just shouted, another sharp arrow flew out of the darkness, nailed to his chest, and shot him on his back and fell down, but probably because the person who sent the arrow was a little panicked this time, The arrow did not kill him directly, and after causing him to fall to the ground, he screamed and alerted the camp.
"His grandma's fucking shit! Shoot the arrows to Lao Tzu! A big man rushed out of the darkness, strode to the sentry who fell to the ground, and cut off the sentry's head with a knife in his hand, so that his screams of warning finally came to an abrupt end, and he turned his head and shouted at his men behind him.
Dozens of thieves armed with bows and arrows suddenly poured out of the darkness, and without saying a word, they fired arrows towards the camp of the Xingtian Army.
A rain of arrows suddenly fell on the camp, and on the spot, many soldiers of the Xingtian Army who had just jumped up in fright were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Xiao Tianjian, who was already asleep, was also awakened by the sentry's terrible warning sound, and he got up as soon as he got up, looking around a little dizzily, and didn't figure out where the attack came from for a while, the two guards reacted before him at this time, and rushed to his side one after the other, protecting him behind him.
It was only at this time that Xiao Tianjian realized that they had been attacked at night, but who the enemy was, but it was not clear for a while, and there was no way to find out how many people came, and the camp of the Xingtian Army was suddenly in chaos at this time.
As soon as he was awakened from his dream, he was subjected to a rain of arrows, injuring a lot of people, and the enemy situation was unclear, everyone was a little panicked, and began to crash around the camp like headless flies, and the camp of the Xingtian Army suddenly fell into chaos.
People of any era will have a natural fear of the dark, so the army is the same, the most afraid of being attacked by the night, and the night attack as an important means of fighting, it can also be said that it is tried and tested, and it can often play a surprising role, and the Xingtian army suffered such a big loss today, until the enemy has touched the outside of the camp, only to find this enemy, and then was baptized by a bow and arrow, so it is difficult not to mess up.
And at this time, a group of black people suddenly rushed out of the darkness outside the camp, one by one brandishing knives and guns, screaming and screaming towards the camp, some of the outermost guards on duty immediately greeted them, but they were very few in number, plus a little panicked, they were scattered by this group of enemies, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed on the spot, and the enemy army also rushed to the camp in an instant, cut down when they met people, and killed them when they saw people, so it made the Xingtian army even more chaotic.
Xiao Tianjian hadn't figured out where the enemy was coming from until now, but he hadn't figured out the identity and number of the enemy, but he realized that something was going to be bad.
It is not that the Xingtian Army has not been trained in night battles, and it has practiced emergency assembly at night many times before, but when it really encounters this kind of night attack, it still makes many soldiers and generals frightened and confused, and they cannot organize effective resistance for a while.
Many soldiers and generals were awakened from their dreams, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy was in front of them, and they were only in good condition and only temporarily grabbed the weapons around them, and some people got up in a daze, and in a panic, they couldn't even find their knives and guns anywhere, let alone put on armor to go into battle.
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Xiao Tianjian's teeth were itchy and annoyed, and he stood in the camp and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Don't mess around! Gather at me, form a formation! Formation! ......" But the night was full of screams and shouts of killing, although Xiao Tianjian pulled his voice, but the roar could not reach far in such a chaotic situation, it only attracted the attention of some people near him, and began to gather towards him, while more people did not hear his roar, and still made a mess like a headless fly.
The trumpeter who usually follows Xiao Tianjian is very clever, and immediately rushed to Xiao Tianjian, grabbed his brass horn, and struggled to blow the horn of the emergency assembly at night.
The sound of the horn was very sharp and penetrating, tearing through the night sky like a sharp blade, so that everyone in the camp heard his horn, and immediately made people's hearts tremble, and some of them reacted, grabbed their weapons one after another, and gathered towards the place where the horn sounded.
At this time, it is certainly not as orderly as usual, the soldiers can't find the general, and the general can't find their own soldiers, but fortunately, they have a certain experience of emergency assembly at night, in this case, they don't go to their own team, but as soon as they see someone holding the same weapon as them, they immediately automatically converge together, like a snowball began to assemble, and some soldiers began to recover from the initial chaos when they found the enemy rushing in front of them, and spontaneously began to resist, Although the hasty resistance was very weak, and some of the soldiers were soon cut to the ground by the enemy, it was this weak resistance that still delayed the enemy's speed of rushing into the camp, and bought Xiao Tianjian a precious little time to gather more soldiers.
Watching his soldiers fall under the knife of the wolf-like enemy, Xiao Tianjian's heart was angry and painful, almost heartbroken, they fought for thousands of miles all the way, and they had never suffered such losses, and today they were about to arrive at their destination, but they were suddenly stolen by an inexplicable enemy, although they didn't know how big the loss was, but it was estimated that it was not small.
This is really a capsized boat in the gutter! Why didn't he expect that in this remote place, he would be attacked by the enemy? But at the moment, his hatred alone is no longer effective, if he can't gather enough troops in a short time to withstand this enemy who sneaks up on them, then they will be completely wiped out here today.
"Form a hollow circle! Wrap your tent in the middle! The sword players are in front, and the pikemen are in line! Pick up the other brothers in! Move fast! Xiao Tianjian stood in the camp and shouted at the generals who had gathered around him, where is there any effort to divide the soldiers and recruits at this time, as long as they are people, they will be immediately wrapped into the team, and some of the captains and generals immediately began to shout loudly and start the whole team.
As more and more soldiers gathered, their queues became thicker and thicker, and gradually began to form a hollow circle, encircling those women and baggage in the middle.
At this time, more and more enemies began to pour into the camp, and under the light of bonfires and torches, the camp was full of figures, and the people on both sides were entangled in a chaotic manner, fighting each other frantically.
As soon as he saw that nearly 200 people had gathered around him, Xiao Tianjian was a little relieved, and began to carefully observe the incoming enemy situation around him, after a little observation, he began to feel that the group of enemies attacking tonight should not be an official army, but a team of poles, and the number of people would not be too many, the reason why they had no power to fight back just now was that the other party was familiar with the terrain here, and under the unguarded sentry post of the Xingtian Army, he touched the front of the camp, and the second was that the incident happened suddenly, The Xingtian Army was disrupted by them, so much so that they knew that they had not organized an effective defense now.
After this time, some of the personnel of the Xingtian Army had recovered from the initial panic, and the resistance became more and more fierce, and as more and more people began to flock to Xiao Tianjian's side, the situation began to improve.
Those thieves rushed into the camp, first scattered a lot of soldiers of the Xingtian Army, and soon they broke into the place where the Xingtian Army stored their baggage, and many people actually began to snatch some of the property brought by the Xingtian Army when the Xingtian Army had not completely dispersed, making their attack suddenly weaker.
"Bastards, don't fucking rush to grab things, kill all these people! Give it to me! Break them up! The man at the head also found that things were a little out of control, after they rushed into this camp, although it went well at first, killing a lot of people, and making the other party a mess, but he also found that the performance of the opponent they faced today exceeded all the enemies they had encountered before, although after the attack, they were also flustered, but many of them were very brave, and soon there were signs that they began to recover from the initial panic, and they began to organize resistance in groups of three or five, This slowed down their progress, and the other party's stewards were obviously relatively calm people, who had gathered one or two hundred people, and began to organize resistance in the camp, gathering the scattered generals, if this continued, it would be difficult for them to kill these people again, so the man who led him roared at the top of his throat while swinging his knife and slashing and killing.
These thieves are all veterans of doing this, and when they were scolded by their masters, some people immediately reacted, lost what they had grabbed, and began to gather around this guy and attack the place where those people were concentrated.
Some of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army gathered around Xiao Tianjian, and at this time they also had the backbone, and they quickly began to recover from the initial panic, and lined up to meet the enemy according to the orders of Xiao Tianjian or the officers around them.
The soldiers who grabbed the swords and cards immediately crossed the crowd and went to the front of the line, while the pikemen immediately ran behind them and lined up, no longer caring whose men they belonged to, but lined up closely, while the archers and musketeers were driven to disperse towards the wings, the charges of charges, the arrows of arrows, the ignition of the strings, although the formation was not neat, but at least it had considerable resistance.
And these unknown attackers also began to rush towards the place where they gathered at this time, led by the big man, and slammed into the group of people that Xiao Tianjian had just organized, trying to break up this group of people at once, and the rest was the time for them to slaughter at will.
