Chapter 534: Night Attack, Night Attack (1)
The nights of late winter and early spring are still unusually cold.
It was the second half of the night, and Niulu, where Amin was located, was surrounded by mountains in the east, grasslands in the west, one west and one east, and there was a fairly wide road into Niulu.
The entire Niulu was already pitch black at the moment, only at the intersection on both sides of the Niulu, a few torches were burning.
On the west side, outside Niu Lu, there is a series of fires, which look even more lively than in Niu Lu.
In the east, which should have been silent, the sound of "rustling" sounded, and in the darkness, there seemed to be a figure shaking.
No, not seemingly, but for sure, for the sound of the rustling soon turned into a dull sound of horses' hooves, which were not crisp, they were wrapped in cloth over the hooves, but soon changed from sporadic noises to continuous vibrations, sweeping towards the cows, and making people palpitate.
"Who?" A man on the roof beside the torch shouted a question, and then two sharp arrows swooped down on the intruder with the sound of the wind.
Although no one dared to come to offend in the surroundings where the blue flag was located, as a Houjin powerhouse, they still maintained a certain degree of vigilance, and there were people on guard at night.
It's just that the focus of prevention is more on the west, especially after a large caravan comes, although the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant at present, but the blue flag people still improve their precautionary heart, and for the big golden hinterland in the east, only two people are symbolically sent to guard.
As mentioned earlier, the Jurchens are nomadic herders, fishing, hunting, and farming, and this characteristic is also reflected in the cattle records where they live, living in houses, and moving closer to the Han people, but in the important places where the banner owners are located, there are no fort walls and watchtowers for defense, and those who watch the night can only settle on the roof.
As a result, there was nothing to protect the sentinels, the voices of the questioners, and the two flying arrows, which did not receive any reply from the intruders, but rather exposed their targets.
In the black horse team, a rain of arrows like flying locusts appeared, and they hit the two sentinels.
One of them, seeing that the situation was not good, picked up the horn and was about to blow the warning, but as soon as he got up, he was hit by several arrows, and his voice stopped abruptly.
The armor is cold and unusual, especially at this kind of night, no one wants to be offended, and they are not worn, and they have no protection against sharp arrows.
"Up!" Although the sound of the horn sounded only for a short moment, in the silence of the night, it was unusually harsh, and it was obvious that the traces were already undoubted, and Zilharang simply stopped hiding, and kept shouting, telling the soldiers to speed up, vowing to capture Amin before he could react.
"Lead the way, to Amin." Dressed in black armor, with an iron helmet and a scarf over his face, he lay on his horse and followed him.
The soldiers behind the two of them are almost dressed like this, but the armor on their bodies is strange, and the raid on Amin is a temporary decision, although he agreed, but asked everyone not to appear as two yellow flags, weapons can't be changed, but clothes and armor have to be changed, faces have to be covered, and the consequence of hasty action is that at this moment, the elite soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags are like a horse bandit put together temporarily.
The target of their trip was Amin, and if they succeeded in capturing him, they would be able to surrender without a fight, even if they were surrounded by the blue flag.
In the warm room, Amin was still snoring like thunder one moment, and there was no movement the next moment, only to see him turn over half of his body, from lying flat to lying on his side, and put his ear on the kang.
In just a short moment, Amin rose from the kang, he was born and died, fighting old people, sleeping to death, and he was also very sensitive to the smell of danger, and Zilharang urged the horses to run, and Amin was alarmed in his sleep.
Amin didn't light the lamp, just touched the darkness, and stretched out his hand to put the helmet on, when the short and abrupt sound of the bull's horn was heard.
The place where the other clothes and armor were placed was also well memorized, and not long after the sound of the vigilant horn fell, Amin was already dressed neatly, picked up the sword of the kang head, and strode towards the door.
When he came to the stable, untied the reins of his horse, and turned over and sat down on his horse, Ellie and his sons, as well as the dozen or so bayalas who were stationed at their house on duty, arrived, and the whole Ox was already alarmed, and the sound of horns and horns was incessant.
"Amma." Elley got on his horse and came to Amin's side, "I don't know which thief ate the leopard's gall and dared to pick up our tiger whiskers." ”
"It can't be the caravan, right?" Amin's other son asked in a daze.
Elley glanced at the brother contemptuously, fool, the sound of trumpets and horses' hooves came from the east, and he didn't believe that this Han caravan had such courage.
Amin was noncommittal, it didn't matter who attacked, although the caravan was in the west, it couldn't be said that there was no suspicion, it could be detoured, and the most important thing at the moment was how to repel the attacking enemy.
"Let's go, we'll meet these people when we go out." After a dozen bayalas and a few sons had set up their formations, Amin commanded that there were two tall and strong warriors in front of him, strong advancing figures when attacking, and meat shields when defending, and carrying shields to block most of the enemy's attacks.
The two wings and the rear are guarded by the elite soldiers of Bayala and Amin's sons, and Erli and Dajib are on the left and right flanks, I have to say that the Houjin army is indeed excellent at this time, although the incident happened suddenly, but Amin They reacted quickly, and in a short period of time they formed such a formation that can be attacked and retreated.
"Huh!" The two of them suddenly responded and urged the horse forward.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves had disappeared, and was replaced by the sound of "clanging" swords intersecting.
Just listening to the voice, but the two sides of the battle are constantly retreating to the gate of the courtyard, the situation is not good, it seems that there are few reinforcements in a hurry, and the enemy cannot fight each other.
Amin and his group went straight to the courtyard gate, and were about to go out to support, when the two thin front doors turned into pieces in a loud noise, and a blue-clad soldier rolled in with flying fragments.
Although the house where Amin lives is similar to the Han people, but they don't pay much attention to the gate, as the flag owner, the two front doors are made up of a few pieces of wood, and they are usually not locked, and the role of protection is not big, and the furnishings are no different.
The soldier was also tough, and rolled on the ground several times, and before the castration slowed down, he got up from the ground.
