When the last rays of the sunset disappeared, the whole world was instantly plunged into darkness, endless darkness! Only half of the waning moon hung in the sky, and with the last bit of light it remained, people could see the blurred shadows of the sand dunes in the distance.

The desert is empty! It's so quiet, and staying on a night like this always feels unreal.

Chen Fei spent the night in the desert for the first time, and he seemed full of interest, and kept asking some experienced people in the caravan for advice and asking a lot of questions.

In the end, he turned around and went to find Tian Qiu with satisfaction.

"How? Did you feel better after taking the medicine? ”

Tian Qiu was originally arranging the defense of the camp, but when he heard Chen Fei's words, he turned around and shook his head slightly: "The point hasn't arrived yet, I won't know until tomorrow." ”

Chen Fei smiled and pointed behind him: "The security is arranged, I have something to say to you." ”

Tian Qiu nodded, turned around and continued to command the soldiers, and after a while, the camp was stationed, and with the light of the torches, it could be seen that Tian Qiu had set up a circular camp, and the whole camp was biased towards defense.

"What's the matter with me when the adults are looking for me?" Tian Qiu's attitude towards Chen Fei was obviously much better, and it was estimated that it was thanks to Chen Fei giving him the antidote, although I don't know if it was true......

"Let me ask you something, you should be quite familiar with this radius of dozens of miles, right? How about the oasis that is about 50 kilometers from where we are now? Are there any dangers? ”

"Oasis?" Tian Qiu frowned deeply: "That place is not good, there are at least fifty bandits gathered in it, and according to the judgment, these bandits may be disguised by the army of Gao Changguo." ”

"Fifty... Not a lot. Chen Fei frowned, and then asked, "What if I want to find a way to catch these people?" Got an idea? ”

"Catch these guys!" Tian Qiu was taken aback, "My lord, this is almost impossible, these fifty of them rely on the cover of the trees in the oasis, they can deal with more than a hundred of us without gaining the upper hand, it is very difficult to fight hard, not to mention capturing alive, it is almost impossible, unless it is ......." Tian Qiu's tone suddenly took a turn.

Got an idea? Chen Fei's eyes lit up, "Unless what?" ”

"Unless it's a night attack! It is also possible to evade their reconnaissance only by night attack, rush directly into the opponent's interior, and solve it in one fell swoop! ”

"Night raid?" Chen Fei's eyes rolled, and then shouted at the caravan behind: "Fan Jiang? Die for Lao Tzu! ”

Fan Jiang came over in a hurry. The three of them gathered together around the torches and squatted on the ground, and Chen Fei stretched out his hand to draw a simple map on the desert.

"This is where we are now, this is the oasis, it's about thirty-five kilometers away, and it's going to take two and a half days at the current pace, and there's nothing in the way between the two places. If General Tian is willing to help me, I have about 140 troops at hand, of which 100 are regular soldiers and 30 are hired guards. Is there any good way to conquer this oasis? ”

Tian Qiu and Fan Jiang were silent one after another. It's not that there is no way, it's just that once the war starts, people will definitely die, and Tian Qiu is now hesitating whether to take this risk.

After a long time, Tian Qiu spoke: "The adult is kind to Tian, Tian will definitely help, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Tian Qiu's face was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and speaking: "My lord, it's just that I don't understand what the purpose of our attack on this oasis is this time...... Don't get me wrong, my lord, I'm not curious about this, but my subordinates ...... A reason is needed to convince them, after all, we have rarely attacked the Oasis before, and I am afraid that some of my soldiers will be disgruntled. ”

"It's inconvenient to say the purpose, you just need to tell them that this is what Tang Tai ordered you before leaving, let's not fight head-on, just attack at night. There are not many bandits in this oasis, there are so many of us, and they are all elite border troops, which is completely enough to deal with. What I want to know now is what kind of sneak attack is better. ”

"Sneak attack... What about the method? Tian Qiu was a little confused, didn't the sneak attack take advantage of the dark moon and the high wind, and sneak up with a knife to slash indiscriminately? Still... How? What the heck?

"Nonsense, of course, will be the method. For example, if a sneak attack is arranged, how can so many people be deployed? Do you want to arrange for someone to pick you up outside? The oasis is so big, is it a single-point breakthrough or a multi-point breakthrough? Do you want to make a noise? Do you want to turn the tiger away from the mountain? Do you want to step on the point before attacking........ Wait, it's all exquisite, I'm just talking about a small part. Sneak attack is an art job! ”

Chen Fei blinked triumphantly. Tian Qiu was obviously stunned, and he was still immersed in the sentence "sneak attack is an art job........

Suddenly, in the silent night sky, a sharp whistle instantly broke the peace. "Shh!!h

"Not good!" Tian Qiu stood up almost the moment he heard the whistle, his hand pressed on the knife on his waist at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "There is a sneak attack!" Northwest direction! ”

"Northwest?" Chen Fei and Fan Jiang also immediately stood up and looked in the northwest direction, and sure enough, they ...... Nothing was seen.

"What about people? No? ”

Tian Qiu didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Fei, but shouted loudly for the soldiers to form a defensive formation in the northwest direction, protecting the casual caravan behind, and at the same time, those scattered guards also accepted Tian Qiu's command and were responsible for the security of the left and right sides of the team. A battle formation was assembled in just two minutes.

Fan Jiang muttered quietly on the side: "I can't see it, there are still two more hits." ”

It was at this time that the neighing of horses in the distance finally came, and the desert was so soft that the sound of horses' hooves could not be heard, but from the neighing and intermittent shouting of horses, it was possible to roughly judge the number of opponents.

"About fifty or sixty people." Yin Ping didn't know what to come to Chen Fei's side, riding on the horse, closing his eyes, holding his arms and whispering.

"Damn! Pretend! Chen Fei glanced at Yin Ping, and then asked, "What about our guards?" ”

"It's all on the right flank, rest assured, this point is completely enough for the enemy!"

Tian Qiu also judged the number of the other party in just an instant, and couldn't help but be furious, fifty or sixty bandits also dared to come to trouble our team of hundreds of people? Look down on me Tian? I'm also bringing elite soldiers from Datang, okay?

"Everyone! Throw the torch in your hand to Lao Tzu! After seeing the enemy's position clearly, shoot arrows at Lao Tzu! Shoot these shit day scraps! ”

The soldier was given the order to throw out the torch in his hand. The torches have been poured with oil and will not be extinguished easily.

A hundred or so torches slammed into the attacking ranks after crossing a magnificent arc in the air, and many unlucky people were hit by the torches and fell to the ground howling.

With the help of torches, Tian Qiu and the soldiers clearly saw the incoming enemy, and fifty or sixty of them were still bluffing! There are only more than 30 people who will die!

More than thirty dare to come and attack? Looking for death?

Tian Qiu only felt that his dignity had been provoked today, and he roared: "Everyone! Shoot the arrows to Lao Tzu! Rush up after a round! Chop up this batch of shredded shreds! Hire guards to hold the camp! ”
