At night, at the end of the day.

The bandits' camp has been quiet for a while, and they are probably asleep.

Inside the wall, Li Yan and his soldiers had just come out of the house and were waiting quietly.

"Are you all awake?" Li Yan asked in a low voice.

The soldiers were blown by the cool breeze of the night and had already woken up. One by one, they are full of energy, just waiting for orders. Although there is such a thing as a night attack, they have neither trained nor actually done it. But today's battle was a good fight, and the attacking enemy was repelled with only bows and crossbows, and the soldiers felt that they could cope with all kinds of situations.

Originally, Li Yan planned to set fire to the company camp, but there were very few tents in the camp of the thieves, the personnel were sleeping around the fire, and there was very little grain and grass for the baggage, so it could not form a continuous fire at all. There was no choice but to use a night attack to break up the thieves.

Li Yan reminded again: "Remember, the team can't be separated." Stop and adjust after twenty steps, Huang Desheng you have to remember. The other crossbowmen only need to be in front of them; The same is true for the pikeman, who does not hesitate to shoot an enemy who has penetrated to the distance of the stab! ”

"Understood." The soldiers whispered yes.

After that, Li Yan looked at the original border soldiers again and said: "You are all old soldiers, set fire, and the two wings of the team will be handed over to you, don't be counterattacked by others." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, we attacked the official army at night back then, no problem." ”

"Second brother," Li Yan said to Li Zhong again, "I'll leave it to you later." Take care of these people, and don't let them go away. ”

Li Zhong nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

Li Yan said to Wang Renzhi: "You have to keep up with the team in front of you and don't fall behind." If you fall behind, don't go back to the village by yourself, find a place to hide first, and then go back when it is dawn, do you hear? ”

Wang Renzhi is the eldest son of Wang Dejiang, who did not become a soldier, and now he is the leader of these five people. They were responsible for transporting the arrows and following the procession. He nodded and said, "Got it, Gongzi Li." ”

Li Yan felt that there was nothing more to instruct, so he ordered: "Open the door!" ”

The ten soldiers who stayed behind carried the gate and slowly opened it. The team broke out of the wall and headed south for the bandit camp. When you get close to the bandits' camp, you start to line up.

Six pikemen were in front, followed by two rows of six crossbowmen, and then five Minzhuang and Li Zhong. There were five border soldiers on each side, as well as Li Yan and Li Mou, who covered the two wings of the team. The border soldiers carried the weapons they wielded, some with knives, some with spears, and some with crossbows. Li Yan and Li Mou did not carry spears, they carried bows and arrows, and carried long knives on their backs, acting as archers in the team.

At this time, the queue training worked, and the soldiers were able to march in the queue in the dark. Although it will be a little chaotic, as long as you adjust it at about 20 steps, the team will be able to maintain the formation all the time.

"Boom", "boom" After the release of the bowstring, the two rogue's sentries were shot down. Although the noise was loud in the night, the thieves were asleep, and no one got up to see what was going on.

After entering the camp of the thieves, the border soldiers on either side lit torches in their hands and set fire to the tents or houses they passed. And Li Yan and Li Mu used rockets to set fire to the distance. The pikemen and crossbowmen began to shout loudly, disturbing the thieves' morale.

"It's on fire, put out the fire!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The officers and soldiers are coming, run! ”

"Run, the leader of the 'Time Migration' is dead!"

"Leader Yang is dead, run!"

"Tou Cai is leading the way, the officials and soldiers are coming, run!"

……

All kinds of shouts spread throughout the camp, and at first it was Li Yan's subordinates shouting. As the fire grew, even the thieves themselves shouted.

For those thieves who were sleeping around the fire, Li Yan's soldiers fired a direct volley, knocking down a few of them, and the others would flee in panic, adding to the chaos in the camp. The crossbowman who has fired will hand the empty crossbow back with his left hand, and at the same time take the well-wound crossbow handed by the crossbowman behind him with his right hand, and then continue to line up. The crossbowmen in the back stopped, loaded the bolts, and then quickly followed.

With the rocket fire of Li Yan and Li Mu, it didn't take long for almost all the tents and houses in the thief camp to be burned. The whole camp was lit up as bright as day, but the thieves running back and forth and shouting made it chaotic.

"Shut up! Lao Tzu is still alive! Yang Datou came out wrapped in clothes and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu is Yang Erxi!" Gather for Lao Tzu! Come and gather here at Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu will take you out! ”

Yang Datou's shouting was very loud, which could be heard by many thieves, and of course Li Yan and Li Mu could also hear it.

In order to let his subordinates see him and prove that he was still alive, Yang Datou stood in front of a pile of flames and continued to shout loudly, gathering his men. Suddenly, Yang Datou stopped shouting, there was a feather arrow on his head and chest, and his body fell straight into the fire, splashing countless sparks.

"Ah~, Leader Yang is really dead! It's really dead! ”

"Run! Leader Yang is dead, the officers and soldiers are powerful! ”

……

The thieves continued to help Li Yan, so that some of the little minions who had gathered over after hearing Yang Datou's shout dispersed in an instant, and the chaos in the camp continued.

'Shi Qian' is hiding in the shadows at this time, and he also wants to gather people to stabilize the chaos. But after seeing Yang Datou's tragic death, he didn't dare to move. He only dared to stop or stop people running by, but this was also risky. Those flustered thieves, when they can't see people clearly, will directly strike first, and treat the people who hold them as officers and soldiers. That's why there were only five people around him at this time.

Seeing that Li Yan's team continued to move forward, they would soon be at their hiding place. Moreover, the pikemen who walked in front also used their spears from time to time to pick the fire heads on the ground around, so that the dark places were illuminated. Anyone who rushed within two steps of the array would be stabbed to death by the pikemen in front, and several spears pierced at the same time, and there was nowhere to hide.

In order to get ahead of the attack, Shi Qian commanded: "Go around from the side, go behind them, and then kill them." I'll find some more people to get their attention in front. ”

These were the old brothers who followed him at the beginning, and without saying anything, they quietly leaned along the darkness towards the flank of Li Yan's military formation.
