Chapter 111: Night Attack
The winter in Hebei is dry and cold, and the crooked moon shows its head in the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info sprinkled a faint moonlight on the earth, as if the moon didn't want to come out on such a night.
A patrol of the Qin army is patrolling, since the Qin army arrived here. Having been trying to build fortifications, the soldiers dug trenches in the frozen ground. Li Xiao also creatively covered some pits with reed mats, covered with floating soil and withered grass, which was no different from ordinary ground. Underneath the trap are three-foot-long spikes, ensuring that any creature that falls into it will be pierced through.
The entire small high ground opposite Jingcheng was turned into a murderous battle fortress by the Sharp Owl. On the slightly thin wooden village, there are many small arrow towers. If the Zhao army attacked, deadly crossbow arrows would be fired from there, frantically reaping the lives of the Zhao army.
"Damn, I'm freezing to death! Why is it so cold in the winter of this Zhao country! A Qin army patrol grumbled with white air. At this time, the most comfortable place is the bed. Only the unlucky ones would be sent out to patrol the camp on such a cold night.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's for you now." As he spoke, the two halberds were stuffed into the arms of the Qin Jun who had just complained. The Qin sergeant reluctantly took his hand out of the cuirass, fortunately their light soldiers were wearing leather armor, thinking about the hoplites in iron armor who were frozen like turtles, their mood was suddenly much more balanced.
The soldiers all carried two halberds, and those who did not hold halberds put their hands into their armor to warm up. Generally, when patrolling the camp, the soldiers used this method to minimize the occurrence of frostbite. Of course, there are also strange people who stick their hands in the crotch of their pants. No one will laugh at it, because it is the warmest place in the body, and there is no one.
The group walked in the dim moonlight, and from time to time someone reminded them of their feet. If you accidentally step on the trap, you can only pray to God for blessing. So far, however, there is no precedent for anyone who has fallen into the trap to come out alive.
The stars in the sky seemed to be blinking, twinkling and twinkling. Especially when it is dark all around, it is particularly dazzling.
"Why doesn't it snow in Hebei, damn it, let's have at least two snows in Guanzhong. It's dry and cold, and the breeze is like a knife. It's not snowing yet, at least we don't have to go out on patrol after it snows. In the vast white expanse, a rabbit passed by and could be seen clearly on the corner tower. Holding the halberd in his hand, his hand, which was still a little hot, became cold in a few moments. Then the whole hand was like 10,000 steel needles pierced on it, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.
"Don't give a damn bullshit, be careful with your tongue freezing you. The weather raised by the son of a bitch, I really don't know how those Zhao people on the other side lived. The soldier with his hand in the leather armor looked at the swarthy Zhao military camp opposite, and the bonfires inside were very similar to the stars in the sky.
"Don't chirp, you think snow is a good thing? Heavy snow covers the mark, and if you fall into a trap, the gods will not be able to save you. Hold on one more day, and tomorrow we won't have to patrol the night. It's his mother's turn, and it's going to be next month. yes, why don't we have a good moon when we're patrolling. If you are blind in this black light, you are not allowed to light the torch, so pay attention to the soles of your feet, and don't be a ghost who has died unjustly. The team reminded me for the first time.
"It's okay, there are half-foot-high wooden sticks stuck in the side of the traps, we just need to ......!" The guy holding the two halberds suddenly shut up, and everyone looked at him in surprise. Suddenly, he noticed that a thick crossbow arrow had pierced his neck, and blood was gushing out with hot air.
"Enemy ......!" The two words of enemy attack in the team's mouth had just been shouted halfway, and his head had been pierced by a crossbow arrow. At the same time, countless crossbow bolts flew out of the darkness. Shot the entire patrol into a porcupine, and it was obvious that the guys with crossbows were masters. There were several crossbow arrows, which actually pierced the heads of the Qin soldiers at the same time.
The cold wind was already howling, and more than a hundred people wearing black cloaks walked out of the darkness. Even the soldiers of the Zhao army, whose armor was dyed black, were almost all hidden in the darkness except for those bright eyes.
"Go back and send a message to Shaojun to know that there are half-foot-high wooden sticks on the sides of the traps as markers." The leader commanded, and immediately someone ran into the darkness. The person who took the lead was actually Yan Ju. In order to be able to sneak attack the Qin army in one fell swoop, Yan Ju also fought hard.
The entire team continued to infiltrate the Qin army's position, followed by the Zhao army led by Shaoyuanjun. The Zhao army, who was good at riding and shooting, was rare today without riding a horse, and all of them became infantry.
"Ah......h A scream pierced the night sky, and I don't know if it was Zhao Jun who fell into the trap or if it was the last warning from the killed Qin Jun. The quiet Qin army camp seemed to have a few drops of water dripping into the boiling oil pot, and it exploded almost instantly.
First, the overwhelming rockets shot outward, and then the crossbow arrows in the corner tower shot out one after another with the help of the faint light of the fire!
The Zhao army, who was caught off guard, was immediately shot and killed, and saw that the sneak attack failed. Shaoyuan Jun ordered someone to push out the bed crossbow, and more than a dozen javelin-like rockets were nailed to the wall of the Qin army. The fierce offensive and defensive battles were fought in an instant, and screams were heard from time to time in the darkness. Shaoyuanjun seemed to have a fire burning in his eyes, staring closely at the military village opposite. As long as he takes this military village, he will be a few points closer to King Zhao's position.
"Chong, the first person to enter the military village will be rewarded!" With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Zhao army stepped over the trench trap. rushed towards the Qin army's military fortress, although it was inevitable that someone would be engulfed in the trap, but these Zhao troops still refused to light the torches. Everyone knows that lighting a torch at this time is self-defeating.
"Oh no, General! Zhao army attacks the camp! "The lieutenant of the Chinese military just ran to the door of Li Xiao's handsome tent, and Li Xiao had already appeared at the door of the handsome tent with his whole body draped. Scattering two steps, he rushed up to the highest corner tower behind him, and the Qin army everywhere was under attack. A fire had already broken out in the place of the walled gate, and the raging fire was very striking in the dark night.
"Pass my general's order, and the whole army will defend by the wall. Those who dare to retreat will be killed! Li Xiao knew that if he didn't resist Zhao Jun's sneak attack, the situation would be out of control by dawn.
"Whoa!" The lieutenant of the Chinese military responded and ran to convey the order. A team of Qin soldiers came out of the tent with crooked armor, and then was led by the team to rush up the wall.
ps: Thank you for the half-dream, half-awake and half-life reward, thank you for the reward! Thanks to the friends who voted for the monthly ticket, the Qin army was secretly attacked. The old dragon was attacked by the sudden cold snap, for the sake of the old dragon's snot code, all the officials should not say that the update was slow. 55555! (To be continued.) )
