Chapter 5: Night Raid
The brutes were the same defeated creatures who had fled into the jungle after being inexplicably beaten to pieces by a burst of muskets. If the Forces nouvelles had been able to continue their attacks under the command of Lucci, they might have been able to defeat them completely, but the problem was that the Forces nouvelles were so busy with the search for bodies and heads that they stayed late that even the sentries who were supposed to be sent to the edge of the jungle quietly left their posts for loot and heads.
The more than 100 brutes had regained their composure and had come to the conclusion after several hours of observation that this was a group of outright Annan soldiers who were able to defeat themselves only by relying on weapons that would emit smoke and lethal projectiles. Although they couldn't figure out how these weapons were powerful enough to kill their fellows and behemoths, it seemed that it was the magic of these long iron rods in their hands.
The organizational form of the barbarians is similar to the tribal system, and the barbarians around them basically belong to a tribe and are quite familiar with each other. After this battle, there were only two or three out of ten barbarian soldiers alive, and many of them were wounded, and if they went back like this, they would inevitably be ridiculed by their fellow barbarians, and they would inevitably not be able to raise their heads in front of their fellow barbarians of other races. So the little leaders of them gathered and discussed, since the Red Shirts had no interest in continuing the attack at this time, they would simply lurk and set a fire at night, and then see the opportunity to act.
So, these brutes lurked until nightfall, and under the cover of night and the jungle, they gradually approached a place only a hundred meters from the camp. At this time, the brute soldiers were still very careful, and the daytime battle made them understand that the other party cast that kind of magic weapon to kill themselves at a distance of more than 100 steps, and the only way to get close to the distance where their weapon could exert its power was to touch it.
At this time, the new army had just won a great victory, and it was drinking and making noise, completely covering the signs of these brutes approaching. Occasionally, a few sentry posts who went to pee outside the camp were also separated by the barbarians, and although the barbarians got three or four Senate rifles, they didn't know how to use this weapon, and several people even pointed at the camp with rifles for a long time without releasing the smoke and projectiles that killed people, and finally gave up the idea of using this strange magic weapon. However, the spear on the rifle caught their attention. At this time, the weapons used by the barbarians were still mainly iron blades, which were basically captured from the battle with the Annan soldiers, not to mention rusty, and there were a lot of gaps missing because of the long-term battle. Coupled with the fact that their maritime allies have been funding blockade weapons in order to limit their military power, they have basically never seen a better weapon than the Iron Blade. At this time, the spear spur inserted in this magic weapon shocked them, this kind of military thorn is obviously still made of iron, but even in the case of no light at night, it can still reflect the lights of the enemy camp in the distance, is there such a bright iron blade? Moreover, this rifle with a spear is one meter seven long, and these barbarian soldiers are only one and a half meters tall, and they are like a spear in their hands, although they are slightly heavier, but they do not affect their use at all. So in the hands of the first few barbarians, they grabbed the senate rifles with their spears loaded and waited for the order to attack.
The brute who followed behind clutched his bow and arrow, and quietly approached only 30 meters from the camp without being detected, and finally launched a surprise attack when Lucci came out to patrol.
Lu Qi's brain was blank at this time, and when he saw the soldier in front of him screaming and dying under the fire of three or four feathered arrows, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he quickly grunted to the ground and didn't dare to move. Then dozens of brute-faced brutes screamed and rushed into the camp. The New Army soldiers in the camp were not prepared for battle, and most of them were still exchanging booty or gambling and drinking, when they were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and before the soldiers who had just come out of the tent could figure out what was happening, they were knocked to the ground with rifles and spears by the brutes who rushed to the front. The overturned soldiers clutched their wounds and wailed, and the booty on their hands and bodies was scattered everywhere with the movement of their limbs. The panicked soldiers could not see the enemy because of night blindness, but they clearly saw the treasure flying around because of the reflection, and rushed forward to grab the treasure that had fallen to the ground while carrying the trophy in their own pockets. The barbarians did not stop at all, but kept harvesting these running new army soldiers with their heads and wielding spears, and these new army soldiers did not notice the barbarians who were close at all at this moment.
Suddenly, an exclamation alarmed all the soldiers, "Barbarian! "It turned out that a new soldier trying to collect treasure stepped on the foot of a brute, who was not wearing shoes, and his mouth was wide open and he could not shout, and the soldier looked down to find the brute who was half-kneeling on the ground and holding a rifle. With this exclamation, the brutes knew that their actions had been discovered, and they lit the torches in their hands and began to throw them at the camp, and then they took out their bows and arrows and shot them indiscriminately at the camp. The torches soon ignited the tents in the camp, and then ignited the propellant packs in the back racks, and some of the tents outside the camp were now like fireworks and spewed huge flames, and some of the soldiers and brutes who were too close to each other were indiscriminately ignited, screaming and rushing around the camp while fighting the raging fire on their bodies, and from time to time people who were still burning were shot over by random arrows and fell on the unlit tents to cause new fires.
The princess's face was as dead as ashes at this time, she did not expect that the brutes would be able to launch a night attack at night when they had just been defeated during the day, although the brutes were only attacking the camp near the south at this time, but listening to the shouts from there to kill the heavens, the firelight reflected the whole camp red, and frightened her legs. Several of the guards drew their cavalry swords to cover the princess in her pajamas and ran towards the stable, when a sudden commotion was heard from the direction of the stable.
About twenty brutes had infiltrated the stables at this time, and they had killed the soldiers of the four or five companies of baggage who had kept vigil at the stables, and then stabbed the buttocks of several horses with their captured spears, and several of the wounded horses neighed and kicked and kicked. Several brutes on the horse's side severed the horse's reins with a single sword, and the horses fled in all directions amid a burst of screams.
It's nothing if the horse is gone, but the brute soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of him made these princess guards frightened and their legs and feet weakened, although it was very cool to see these barbarians being killed all over the field during the day, but at this time, these barbarians rushed over with a rifle with a spear with a distorted face, which brought them a feeling of fear. But they remembered their duty, and one of the guards pushed the princess into the nearest tent, and met her with the other guards with her cavalry sword.
The brutes were obviously more comfortable with the new weapons than the guards, and after two turns, only two guards were still standing, but only two of the brutes had fallen. The brutes excitedly raised their weapons in their hands, screaming excitedly as they rushed towards the guards. They had just seen very clearly that the guards were guarding a woman, and this woman looked very good. These guards are so fearless to protect this woman, this must be the legendary Princess Ji, the daughter of King Annam! Several brute soldiers rushed forward and were blocked back by the princess's guards, and another guard was injured and fell to the ground, seeing that only one standing guard was left, and a brute shouted: "Capture the princess alive!" Fast! ”
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen brute soldiers rushed up, and at this time, the guard held the cavalry knife in his hand with desperate eyes. The barbarians in front of him were either holding up the Senate rifles with spears on them, or picking up the shiny cavalry knives, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't resist it alone. He couldn't help but tremble in his legs and feet, and there was a feeling of urgency to urinate. At this moment, I suddenly heard a calm male voice from behind: "What kind of ability is it to fight more and less?" Stand back and let me come! As he spoke, a guy in a red uniform stood in front of him.
The soldiers couldn't help but pause, this person wearing a red military uniform must be his own person, but he was wearing a large senate armed belt with more than n pockets, and he was holding an iron block with a cold light in his hand, although he couldn't see what it was, but judging from the way this person held it, it must be a weapon, judging from his leisurely strolling and even breathing, this must be another militaristic weapon.
At this time, several injured soldiers also saw the appearance of this person, and hurriedly crawled towards this side with difficulty, shouting from time to time: "Instructor Qian!" Help me! ”
This person is Qian Longzhou, to be honest, things in the world are coincidences, he originally had a very bad premonition since he won the battle in the afternoon, and he had already checked the Glock pistol in his hand countless times at this time. When he heard a loud commotion coming from the camp, he thought something must be happening, and hurriedly pressed the bullets into the borrowed magazine. According to the requirements of the Senate, in order to protect the life of the springs in the magazine in non-combat situations, bullets should not be kept in the magazine. It took him more than ten minutes in the afternoon to fill up with bullets, and another ten minutes to unload after winning the battle. By the time he heard the noise and pressed the bullets, a woman crawled into his tent. It turned out that it was his tent that the guards pushed the princess into.
Both of them were people who shouldn't have been here in the first place, but at this moment, they suddenly looked at each other in the camp that was attacked, and they couldn't help but look at each other. By the time Qian Longzhou asked the princess to hide and then get out of the tent, there was only one guard left who could still fight. At this time, Qian Longzhou was full of anger, these soldiers were all trained by him, but they were crushed in front of this group of barbarians, and there were still many soldiers who were still busy packing up their belongings when they looked around. He was furious for a moment, stepped forward, and directly knocked down the nearest brute with the first shot.
The barbarians are also stupid at this time, this person is not good-looking, and he is even more terrifying than those ordinary red-clothed soldiers, just raise his hand and directly kill his own people, isn't that a ** division?
