Chapter 197: Night Attack and Secret Battle (Part II)
Secretly, more than a hundred Great Qin soldiers quietly sneaked into the darkness from the back camp, and the next thing they were going to fight was a secret battle, and the competition was the real killing technique. Li Ang took Yuan Luo Shen and the Thirteen Tai to protect Cao Anmin, who was going to participate in the battle, and went around to those sneak attackers from the flank. Suddenly they stopped, and Cao Anmin wanted to ask Li Ang what happened, but Li Ang stopped him.
In the silence, Leon listened intently to the movement ahead, and after a while, he made a gesture to disperse the people behind him.
The raiders were divided into twelve teams, each of ten men, armed with crossbows and bows, separated by about five feet from each other, and quietly surrounded the camp in front of them, but they did not know that they had become the prey of Leon and them.
The Ten Fire Great Qin soldiers who were separated from Li Ang and them, with knives in their mouths and hunched waists, walked lightly, like leopards foraging in the dark night, sneaking through the wild grass, slowly approaching their prey.
Tule crouched in the grass and suddenly patted the tamer beside him, and soon the howl of the wolf echoed in the wind. The moment the wolf howl sounded, the Great Qin soldiers who had already locked on to their targets swooped out like leopards, knocking down those sneak attackers, and then the knife in their mouths grazed their necks, like a real leopard tearing the throat of its prey.
When the wolf howl fell, the sneak attackers lost three teams, and they became alert, after all, there was something wrong with the sound of blades of grass from where their companions were just now, and they began to move closer, and then they smelled the faint smell of blood coming from the wind, and they couldn't help but look nervous. Subconsciously clenched the crossbow in his hand, and at this time, a strange sound sounded around them. Almost instantly, they pulled the crossbow at the same time.
Listening to the sound of arrows and feathers, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Ang's mouth, he was waiting for this moment, and those sneak attackers themselves pointed out the location where they gathered, and soon. The other Ten Fire Great Qin soldiers pulled the crossbow machine of the repeater towards the place where those sneak attackers were.
In the darkness, the sound of breaking the air shocked the sneak attackers, and just as they thought about dodging, a continuous stream of crossbow arrows was already covering them, and people were constantly falling to the ground.
Cao Anmin put down the repeater and pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, he is now convinced of Li Ang, from beginning to end. They were all calculating the sneak attackers, and they didn't let the sneak attackers know about their existence. Hit them off guard.
When the crossbow bolts stopped, the remaining sneak attackers all looked at the darkness nearby, they didn't know when there would be a second rain of arrows, just as they were nervously getting on the crossbow, Leon and they finally killed, with a soft shout. The black greatsword swept away the two sneak attackers who were loading arrows in an instant.
Cao Anmin did not want to fall behind Li Ang, his horizontal knife also fiercely slashed over a sneak attacker, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and Li Ang is just a line away, after all, his ancestors are all martial arts to pass on the country, the emperor of Great Qin can not understand Confucius and Mencius, but he can't help but practice martial arts, not familiar with military affairs, and when the founding of the country, Taizu Taizong himself was a military general who was ten thousand enemies. As their descendant, he has always held himself to the strictest standards. So his knife skills are very strong.
The rest of the sneak attackers only supported for a moment, and they all died, after all, they were facing the most brave and skilled soldiers in Great Qin. In a short melee battle, Cao Anmin, who went to the battlefield for the first time, killed four people. "You're so much stronger than I was the first time." Li Ang walked to Cao Anmin's side, looked at him who was facing the corpse, his face was a little pale, and handed over the wine bag, "Drink some wine and you'll be fine." ”
Cao Anmin took the wine sac, poured it out along his bloodstained horizontal knife, mixed with the enemy's blood and poured it into his throat, this way of drinking, it is the way to drink only the soldiers of Daqin, and its origin is not clear, some people say that it is the drinking method after the border army of the old Han Dynasty killed the enemy, and some people say that this is the place where Emperor Taizu handed down, but for Cao Anmin, he believes in the latter statement.
After drinking the liquor, there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, and the original nausea was diluted a lot, and he handed the wine bag back to Li Ang, Cao Anmin put the knife into the sheath, and said quietly, "Thank you." This is the first time he has killed someone, although he has followed the emperor since he was a child, and he has a decisive side of killing in his heart, but this is not the same thing as carrying a knife and killing people.
"The first time I killed someone, I just killed one person and threw up." Li Ang put the wine bag away, glanced at Cao Anmin, who had regained his normal color, and looked at the others, "Go back to the front camp." ”
When they left, in the bloody darkness, Gao Changgong led the army king team and appeared like a ghost, "It is worthy of being the person favored by the commander, and it is no wonder that the chief wants to suppress his credit." In his own voice, Gao Changgong led his subordinates, followed behind them, and followed closely, his duty is to protect the prince, although he believes that Li Ang will not be unable to solve it, but he still has to take a look, after all, sometimes, some things are inaccurate, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
In the front camp, the team that came to sneak attack had already sensed that something was wrong when they saw that there were no sentries, but they still surrounded the camp, and then shot the arrows in the crossbow in their hands, and then sent people into the camp to find out.
The dark camp was empty, but the ground was full of arrows, and when the raiders looked at each other, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and when they left the rear camp, Leon took the horses out of the camp with them, and after killing the enemies in the rear camp, they rode back, in order to kill those raiders by surprise.
In the darkness, it suddenly lit up, and the galloping Daqin soldiers threw out the torches that had been dragging on the side of the horse, and when the light suddenly appeared, the pupils of those sneak attackers couldn't help but constrict, and then in their short discomfort, Li Ang led people to kill among them.
Riding on a horse, Li Ang never left Cao Anmin's side, and it was precisely because of this that he saw the Zhenguo spear skills practiced by the Great Qin Emperors in the past dynasties, which originated from the spear skills of Emperor Taizu, which was a marksmanship that emphasized absolute speed, without any moves and changes, and all the essence was only in one fast word.
The 200 people who came to sneak attack were in a desperate situation, and in order to achieve the sneak attack, they were sudden. They were all lightly armed on foot, and at this moment they faced a sudden cavalry attack. They were simply unable to form an effective resistance, and they were only divided into separate battles.
Leon knew that they were going to fight this battle
Although those who are still resisting are very stubborn, they are obviously not cooperative, at most they rely on tacit understanding between two or three people to support each other. Li Ang stopped his horse, and Cao Anmin, who was beside him, also stopped. "Looks like a ranger or something." Looking at the sneak attackers who were still resisting, Li Ang said to Cao Anmin, those sneak attackers, there were black-haired and black-eyed Han people, and there were also blonde and blue-eyed whites.
Soon the battlefield fell silent, and under the military formation of a hundred absolutely elite Great Qin cavalry, Jianghu people like Ranger were obviously not opponents, but in the end, there were not many remaining survivors, and most of them were directly killed.
Next to the rekindled fire. Looking at the twenty sneak attackers who were being escorted to their knees, Li Ang looked at them coldly. He picked up a crossbow from the ground and said to them, "Can anyone tell me where this thing came from?" ”
No one answered Leon's question, and the sneak attackers just knelt indifferently and said nothing. "Good. Well, you want to be heroes, right? Cao Anmin laughed on the side, but he lost his usual gentleness.
Taking the well-wounded crossbow from Li Ang's hand, Cao Anmin walked up to a sneak attacker, and the crossbow in his hand was pressed against his head, "I count to three, if you don't answer, you will die." Cao Anmin's voice was calm and cold, and he counted, "One." Two, three. ”
'Buzz! With the sound of the resounding strings. The attacker's head was pierced through his head by a crossbow arrow fired at close range, and his body collapsed limply to the ground, blood mixed with brain pulp flowing from the arrow holes in his skull, staining the ground scarlet.
Looking at the captives who were still unmoved, Cao Anmin threw away the crossbow in his hand and said quietly, "It seems that you are a group of people who are not afraid of death, very good." ”
"They are indeed a group of people who are not afraid of death." Li Ang walked to Cao Anmin's side, looked at the captives, and suddenly laughed, "I wonder if your family is also not afraid of death." ”
As soon as Leon said this, the kneeling captives couldn't help but change color, but soon they regained their indifference and bowed their heads.
Looking at the changes in the expressions of these captives in an instant, Cao Anmin glanced at Li Ang beside him, and seemed to understand what he meant by that, he glanced at those captives again, and there was not the slightest emotion in his voice, "You are attacking the army of Great Qin, if you are punished according to the crime, you can even contact your relatives, don't think that if you don't say it, we won't be able to find out your details, it is Daqin who has been offended, and it is the entire empire." ”
"We will find your relatives and execute them for treason, from the elderly to children." Cao Anmin said this, his eyes flashed with a cold light, he is the crown prince of Great Qin, and he has the blood of a decisive emperor in his bones, as long as he is regarded as endangering Great Qin, then no matter how cruel and cold-blooded things he can do.
"Okay, you still don't speak, do you?" Cao Anmin laughed coldly, he looked at the captives and said to himself, "It seems that your relatives are controlled by the people who instructed you, don't you, you must think that as long as you keep the secret for him, your family will be safe, right?" In the cold words, the captives couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"But I think if I had been the one who had instructed you, I would have killed all your family members for safety. Of course, if you succeed, I will still kill you and your family, after all, what you are doing is tantamount to rebellion. ”
Looking at Cao Anmin, who calmly narrated, Li Ang's face was expressionless, the prince is the prince, once the fangs are exposed, the terrible side will be fully revealed, but Daqin needs such a prince, and the country needs such an emperor.
Listening to Cao Anmin's calm and rigid words, those captives shook in their hearts, and they hesitated, not knowing what to do?
"If we say what we know, will you spare our loved ones?" Among the captives, one of them suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Anmin.
"That's not for me to decide." Cao Anmin said coldly, "The people who instructed you will definitely kill your relatives and kill you, all I can promise you is that I will avenge your relatives, you can think about it." ”
After listening to Cao Anmin's reply, all the captives pondered, if Cao Anmin agreed just now, they would not believe him, but this reply made them believe that Cao Anmin did not deceive them.
After a while, the captive who was still open spoke, "We were forced to come, we don't know who the person who let us come is, we only know that his name is Mr. Qin Wu, and the person who contacted us is a thin man, who lives in the Yuelai Inn in Wanzhou City, and we don't know anything else." ”
"You're saying you're forced." Looking at the man who answered, Cao Anmin asked quietly.
"Yes, we didn't know each other originally, and we were all summoned to Wanzhou two months ago." The man replied, with a bitter look on his face.
Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang, the two of them couldn't hide their shock in their eyes, they could gather so many people and control their families, so how powerful is this person behind the scenes?
"If our loved ones die, please avenge us." The man who spoke looked at Cao Anmin and Li Ang, and suddenly kowtowed, and the other people around him also kowtowed.
"When I speak, I always count, that person, I will definitely find him." Looking at the captives who kowtowed, Cao Anmin's voice was very deep, and he said solemnly, and then he looked at the soldiers on the side, "Send them on the road." ”
"Wait a minute." Li Ang suddenly spoke, and suddenly those soldiers stood in place, they didn't know Cao Anmin's identity, for them, Li Ang's order was the highest order.
Looking at Cao Anmin, who was a little puzzled, Li Ang knew that the consciousness of being a prince in his heart made him not tolerate these forced assassins, but these people had the value of living. Li Ang walked up to Cao Anmin and said in a low voice, "If they are alive, that person will definitely find a way to kill their mouths, and we can use them as bait." ”
Cao Anmin's eyes flashed coldly, and he nodded, "You're right, I'm a little inconsiderate." He agreed to Leon's disposition and spared the captives.
