Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 21 Night Attack

In late October, the grassland was cold, and under the howling of the north wind, the grass that had been yellowing completely lost its vitality, and large blanks appeared, and some dead grass was even swept up in the air by the wind, fluttering and not knowing where it would fall.

At this time, the situation of the Raha was like that of the helpless and withered grass, and it was completely unaware of where it was going to settle down. After being away from the familiar environment, the spirit of the whole group was not as good as before, and with too many old and weak women and children and many belongings, their marching speed became extremely slow.

Lu Jin, who was in the middle of it, didn't realize that he had thought things a little too simple until a few days after he set off. I thought that in the face of such a situation, there would be many people who wanted to leave the team and find another way to make a living, and it should not be too difficult to get out of these people by then.

But the truth is not at all as he thought, these days, almost no one has left the people without permission. This is not because of how united the people of the Raha tribe are, but because they are forced by the situation in the steppe. Because of the harsh environment, the herders can only survive here by uniting and supporting each other, and this is even more important when they come to a strange place, if they leave the tribe under such circumstances, it will be difficult to guarantee the rest of their lives, and they are almost killing themselves. Therefore, even though they knew that the current situation was difficult and dangerous, the people of the Raha tribe were still tightly united.

And in this way, Lu Jin's wishful thinking of wanting to take advantage of the chaos to get out will not work at all. Another reason why he didn't dare to try to escape was that in the first two days, he had found that someone was secretly watching him, and he was afraid that if he had any intention of leaving, they would stop him, and even soon alarm everyone. In addition, Lu Zhen was also afraid that he would be attacked by the attackers when he left the team, and it would be difficult to ensure his own safety at that time.

Yes, although it had only been ten days, the Rahab had already been attacked by other tribes, not once, but four times. And the attack became more and more ferocious each time, and many people have died because of it.

Leaving their homeland and migrating all the way, they have become completely targeted for activities, and without adequate defense measures and not too familiar with the surrounding environment, they can only withstand one attack after another, for which they naturally have to pay a heavy price.

And the security of an entire tribe obviously restrained the hands and feet of other young men, so that they could only defend passively, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry, who were light and good at attacking, even if they were victorious, it was difficult to pursue the enemy at all, because they still had to protect the clansmen around them.

Although it is said that Mongolians, men, women, and children can go on horseback to participate in the battle, but when it comes to the battlefield, these people are still only a drag on the young and strong men, especially when they are facing the same fierce steppe cavalry, and their negative impact is even greater.

If they were in the original station, they could still rely on the terrain advantage or the previous defensive preparations to play a role, but now they don't have that role at all. In many cases, they are only targets for slaughter, and many of them have lost their lives in such circumstances.

Such an unbearable encounter, and some despair about the future, made the atmosphere a little gloomy throughout the Raha Division, and even if it was temporarily stopped, not many people were ready to eat, but they quickly set up simple tents, and after eating some dry food indiscriminately, they were ready to go to bed.

Lu Zhen is in such a team, and his mood is also quite heavy. There was even a trace of regret, because he knew very well that in fact, these people were killed because of their own calculations.

Even though he had thought about it before, he knew that this was an inevitable result, but he still felt guilty when he saw many innocent Mongolian herdsmen dying beside him. After all, he is not a cold-blooded soldier or a killer, but just an ordinary person.

But there is no turning back from the bow, and when the matter comes to this point, Lu Zhen can only implement his established plan, and he must find a chance to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he may be slaughtered by the Mongolian cavalry who keep killing at any time.

Thinking of this, Lu Jin, who was in the dark tent, couldn't help but turn over, put on the most ordinary sheepskin jacket and half-knelt down to lift a curtain to look out. Except for the darkness outside, there were only a few young and strong people among the night watchmen—and in such cases, they did not dare to take it lightly.

"In this case, it's hard for me to leave, not to mention that I have to ride a horse." Lu Zhen thought, and then his eyes fell back on the backpack beside him, and he packed all the things he wanted to run away with in his bag, but on the grassland, if there were no horses to travel, he couldn't go far with such a bag.

"Do I really have to follow them to reopen the wasteland? Not to mention that this is not my wish, and as it stands, it seems that they are not destined to reach their destination. Lu Jin's heart quickly turned his thoughts, he could see that the cavalry that attacked the Lahe Department were not bandits on the grassland, but the elites of various departments, and I am afraid that they should have been killed by the orders of Yexian.

Moreover, those previous enemies were only pioneers or temptations, and at some point, the real terrible enemy would be killed. At that time, with the current strength and morale of the Rahab, it may be completely collapsed after a battle. I am in the middle of it, and my safety is really at stake.

"I have to leave as soon as possible, before this happens. Even if they are staring at you, you have to take a risk! After thinking about the current situation, Lu Zhen quickly made a decision, but when to leave and how to go still need to be considered.

At this moment, Lu Jin, who was just about to lie down again, suddenly moved his ears, and then alertly put his head on the ground and listened carefully. After a few months of living on the grassland, he also learned some of the survival methods of the Mongolian people, and this local listening technique is one of them.

As soon as he heard it, Lu Jin's expression quickly became solemn, this was the movement of a large number of people approaching his side, although the other party deliberately slowed down, but the tremor on the ground still made him feel it clearly.

"It's not good, after a few daytime attacks that were fruitless, they actually used night attacks!" Lu Zhen bounced up from the ground as soon as he could, judging from the movement he heard, this time the other party was outflanked here from the left and right, which was bound to bring extremely terrible threats and kills to the Lama Department that had already rested!

didn't think too much about it, Lu Zhen subconsciously wanted to go out and warn loudly. Although this doesn't seem to have much effect at the moment, it's still better than nothing. But the moment his hand touched the curtain, a thought suddenly came to his heart: "Isn't this a great opportunity for me to leave them." When they are attacked in the dark, they must be in a mess, and at this time, they should be very hidden in the middle of the fleeing crowd! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen immediately retracted his hand and quickly carried the backpack to himself, in addition to the things he brought when he crossed over with the camera, there were also some food that he had saved up on weekdays, which was all the guarantee he used to return to the Central Plains!

Then, Lu Zhen quietly lifted the curtain of the tent, gently touched outside, came to his mount, and was ready to ride away as soon as the chaos started.

Just as he was making all the preparations, Hezha in one of the tents in the center had already rushed out, and then shouted loudly: "There is an enemy coming! He also sensed the problem and immediately issued a warning.

The other people in the tent had fallen asleep because of their fatigue, and when they heard this, they all woke up from their dreams, and many of them were even more dazed, and did not know what was going on. Of course, there are also some vigilant and nimble people who have flown away and rushed out of the tent with weapons while putting on their clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the whole area of the originally quiet Lahe tribe was in chaos, and a few torches were erected while people were shouting and neighing, and more people rushed out of the tents in a daze, including the leaders of the cadres such as Hehu'er.

......The long, piercing sound of the horn suddenly sounded from the darkness, which made the hearts of the clansmen who were still skeptical of this suddenly stir, and they were convinced that something was wrong.

And at the moment when the horn sounded, the sound of the north wind, which was blowing tightly, changed a little, and it seemed that some sharper howl had drowned out the sound of the wind.

"It's a bow and arrow!" Soon, someone came to their senses and screamed loudly.

And at the moment when these words fell, countless feathered arrows on the left and right sides fell like raindrops, and in an instant, they shot down a piece of the Raha people who were spinning around like headless flies, and the screams were even louder, and the people began to run around, and the entire Raha tribe's station was completely chaotic.

And at the moment when the rain of arrows fell, there was a dense movement like a drum beat on both sides, which was the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground as they charged. The sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by bursts of roars, and since they had done it, there was no need to hide themselves.

Because they had already stretched the distance between the two sides to only a stone's throw away, this time the sneak attackers were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had broken through the fences used to block the beasts outside, and rode their horses to kill the people of the Rahab, who had already been distracted, and the knife in their hands slashed without hesitation.

All this came too quickly, even a warrior like Hezha felt a little caught off guard, and only had time to cut off the reins and mount his horse to meet the enemy, and the others were only waiting to be killed.

In addition to the continuous killing, some people threw freshly lit torches at the surrounding tents and quickly ignited them.

Under the blowing of the north wind, the fire spread rapidly, illuminating the entire camp.

Under the light of the fire, a terrifying massacre officially began......
