Chapter 11: Night Attack
Xiao Tianjian had an order first, since he gave up a large number of materials by the Yellow River, he gave the remaining tents in the army to the female dependents of the army and the young soldiers, including himself, and the soldiers of the army are sleeping outside, so that the soldiers and generals are grateful that Xiao Tianjian can share weal and woe with them, so there are not many complaints, or that sentence, the people do not suffer from poverty, but suffer from injustice, with Xiao Tianjian taking the lead in doing this, who can say anything? can only make everyone more determined to follow him to do things.
As for the young lady of the Liang family who was kidnapped by him, since he took her away from the caravan, she also quieted down, she probably saw that Xiao Tianjian did believe in her words, and did not behave unruly towards her because of her beauty, but just handed her over to two healthy women to take care of, so she didn't care about her anymore, and Miss Liang didn't take the opportunity to kill herself, after all, she was in her youth, and no one wanted to die and play if she had nothing to do, but the actions of the Xingtianjun also made her more and more worried, Because although she didn't know where the robbers were going to take her, she also felt that they were getting farther and farther away from the place where she was kidnapped, so that meant that her father's hope of finding her through various channels was getting slimmer and slimmer, but the matter had come to this, the robber head did not violate her according to the agreement, and she could only follow the gang of robbers.
And then there's that Juan. Clio's guy, at first, was very unhappy about being tied up, he was not very honest in the team, and he always wanted to find a chance to slip away, but when he entered the mountain, he was honest, because foreign devils are not stupid, this world is in the mountains, even if he slips away, he can't go to the village or the store, he can't figure out the direction at all, and if he accidentally is either starved to death, or simply feed the wolf directly, so since the matter has come to this, he can only appoint.
However, what made Hu An'an was this robber head, who didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and the treatment he gave was quite good, in addition to restricting his freedom, he was served with good food and drink, and he was also given a mule for him to ride, and even a tent would be arranged for him to camp at night, which can be said to be quite good.
What surprised him even more was the performance of this robber head, Xiao Tianjian loved soldiers like a son, led by example, was very popular with his soldiers, there was no shelf in the march, and there was no special food in the food, and he also followed the soldiers to receive meals and eat with the soldiers, this situation was also extremely rare in the mercenary team before he came to China, and the performance of this bandit also aroused his great interest, although it seemed that they were just bandits, but they were extremely disciplined, It was obviously a well-trained team, not at all like an ordinary bandit. Cleo gradually quieted down, and did not think about escaping, but began to observe the team in front of him curiously.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder, but fortunately, Xiao Tianjian had the foresight to start arranging for the soldiers to prepare winter clothes for the soldiers when the weather was hot in advance, plus along the way by robbing some large families of Zhuangzi, obtained a lot of warm cotton clothes and other things, and finally robbed the caravan of the Liang family, and intercepted a lot of felt blankets and furs from the Mongolians outside the Guanwai from the caravan, and all these things were also distributed to everyone, so that the soldiers in the army although sleeping in the wilderness, But at least everyone could put a piece of felt or fur under him, and everyone had a cotton coat, and he gave each of them a cloak of coarse cloth that he had obtained, and at night he wore a thick cloth cloak wrapped in cotton clothes, and he would not freeze to death.
In addition to their reserves in the early stage, the army also has a lot of oil, when the soldiers march, they will apply some oil on the bare skin, although frostbite is inevitable, but the frostbite situation is not serious in the army.
Even lying by the campfire, the cold wind continued to pour into the necks of those who were resting on the ground in the open air, causing everyone to wrap their clothes tightly, huddle in a ball or huddle together to keep warm, before they could fall asleep.
God seemed to see their difficulties, and after more than a day of light snow, it stopped, and the whole camp was completely quiet, only the personnel on duty walked back and forth at the edge of the forest, stepping on the dead branches from time to time to make a click-click sound, and at this time, a group of black shadows were quietly coming towards them from a distance.
A large man in a sheepskin jacket and thick leather boots walked among the group, his face with two small eyes radiating greed and murder, staring at the campfire in the distance.
"Have you found out where these people came from?" As soon as the big man raised his hand, he stopped moving forward and asked a man beside him.
"Back to the big boss, the little incompetent, I couldn't mix them up close to inquire, I can only hear them from a distance The accent seems to be more than the accent on the Shaanxi side, and there is no flag, it is estimated that it should be a little more pole on the Shaanxi side, and several brothers who have been pasted on it have been detained by them, I can only stare at them from a distance, and I can't inquire about their origins! I don't know if they are in the same group as the poles that have entered our territory two days ago! This person has obviously been staring at Xiao Tianjian's team for a long time, and it is estimated that he has been very close to them, so from the conversation of Xiao Tianjian's team of soldiers, he heard the accent of Shaanxi, but because he couldn't get close to them, the specific situation was not very clear.
"A bunch of waste, grandma's feeding you is not as useful as raising a dog! No matter what, fuck it, no matter where they come from, it's not fucking good to come to Lao Tzu's territory to eat! Pass it on to Lao Tzu, give Lao Tzu enough spirits, do this ticket, go back and have wine and meat to be full! Looks like these guys are quite fat! You should be able to catch a lot of good things! Let's all light up a little bit! Give it to Lao Tzu! Saying that, the leader shook the big knife in his hand, and the cat's waist touched towards Xiao Tianjian's camp.
The rest of his subordinates were roughly more than 200 people, all holding their breath one by one, following the big man in front of them in the dark, cautiously touching the place where the bonfire flickered.
A soldier of the Heavenly Army walked back and forth on the perimeter of the camp with torches, rubbing his hands and stomping his feet to warm himself, and from time to time he had to patrol the darkness, but the gloomy night sky made the night in the mountains so dark that he could not see too far at all.
Suddenly, he heard a sound in the distance, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch or leaf, so he immediately became alert, stuck his torch heavily on the ground, and then put down the spear in his hand, pointed to the place where the sound was made, and shouted: "Who is there?" ”
As soon as his question fell, a sharp arrow flew out from the darkness, so that the soldier of the Heavenly Punishment Army did not have time to react, this sharp arrow hit his throat, he staggered, and wanted to shout a warning, but this sharp arrow was stuck in his throat, so that he could not scream, and after shaking his body a few times, he fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
