Chapter Ninety-Eight: Stratagem in the Night

After that, Huyan Leopard listened carefully to the scale of the horse's hooves, and immediately cautiously reminded: "Childe, it shouldn't be our reinforcements, the number exceeds our prediction!" ”

"Turn around, withdraw!" Gongzi Wei Xing did not hesitate to drag the water and mud at all, quickly turned the horse's head and galloped away.

The Sai cavalry, which was less than 4,000, also moved immediately, closely following the cavalry of Phoenix Fort, trying to find a fighter to bring back a city, which seemed very unwilling!

Subsequently, Gongzi Wei Xing walked around the wilderness a few times, and finally hurriedly ran into the camp on the bank of the river with his men and horses.

Two waves of the pursuing enemy army came immediately, and as soon as they approached the camp, countless stones suddenly flew out of the camp, like huge hailstones falling from the sky;

Suddenly, the cavalry team of the Cypriots was caught off guard, and the soldiers and horses were hit by the rocks one after another, struggling powerlessly on the ground, and making a miserable neigh!

"Withdraw, withdraw、、、、、、 several commanders shouted in their own language as they struggled to control the horses under their seats.

At this moment, the people in the camp loaded the stones on the stone thrower as fast as they could!

Probably due to the first time I used the stone thrower, most of the people were a little scrambled and made some mistakes.

Despite this, Gongzi Wei Xing and the others stood on the high shelf, looking at the miserable scene of the Cypriots outside the camp calling their father and mother, and they were very satisfied!

There are very few cities in the Western Regions, and most of the war modes are mounted battles in the wilderness, and stone throwers are not very popular here;

Now, a batch of stone throwers suddenly appeared in the camp of Phoenix Fort, which was definitely unexpected by the Cypriots, and this suddenly achieved a very obvious strike effect!

"It's a pity that we only have a hundred and ten stone throwers, which are still small!" Meng Ping looked a little regretful in his mouth.

"Uncle Meng Ping, don't be satisfied, these 100 small stone throwers are still saved as much as possible from the materials used to build wooden boats, and it is not easy to have these!" Gongzi Wei Xing explained with a smile.

Although Meng Ping knew the situation of Phoenix Castle's own family, he still felt very sorry when he looked at this rare opportunity in front of him.

A few minutes later, the still alive cavalry was completely out of the range of the catapult's attack, all of them were embarrassed, and they lingered near the camp with great anger for a long time!

"Send a small number of men to collect weapons on the battlefield, and at the same time prepare them to withdraw at any time!" Gongzi Wei Xing commanded.

Subsequently, more than 100 auxiliary soldiers cautiously went out of the camp gate, paying attention to the nearby battle situation while slowly cleaning up the battlefield!

There was an immediate commotion among the Serb cavalry, but it soon calmed down again!

"What a cunning!" Zhang Hua said regretfully, and several other people were also disappointed in their hearts, the enemy was not carried away by the anger and rushed over!

After a while, Meng Ping said: "An hour ago, the enemy battalion sent a cavalry team of 8,000 people to chase after us, so we were worried about you to death, but fortunately, you rushed back in time with men and horses!"

Zhang Hua also immediately took over and introduced solemnly: "We learned through some slaves who ran over that the Cypriots sent a total of 16,000 regular troops and 10,000 tribal troops to take revenge this time, all of them were cavalry, and there were less than 20,000 slave troops in charge of logistics!" ”

Hearing this news, Gongzi Wei Xing and Huyan Leopard's faces were ugly, and they were at a loss!

After a pause, Zhang Hua continued: "Their commander is William, the Western Governor of the Xiaowan Kingdom, a beast full of violent factors; His own strength is quite strong, judging from his previous record, it seems that he is not much weaker than Xiahou! ”

At this time, a wave of excitement suddenly rose in Huyan Leopard's heart, and he was very eager to fight with him and fight it out!

Gongzi Wei Xing and the three of them instantly felt the battle intent emanating from him, and they were all a little speechless and had a headache;

At this critical moment when the army was pressing, Huyan Leopard actually had the idea of a martial idiot again!

"Don't worry too much, although the enemy's strength is extremely fierce, if it is a frontal battle and fighting, our Phoenix Fort is not their opponent for the time being; But this is our home stadium and we have our own advantages! ”

"Over time, the advantage will shift more and more to our side; Fortunately, we have consumed about 4,000 men and horses of the enemy today, relieving some of the pressure! "Gongzi Wei Xing is trying his best to boost everyone's morale and try his best to eliminate everyone's sluggish mental state, and he deliberately didn't say anything about his own losses.

In the case of the overwhelming army, although everyone was still very worried in their hearts, no one said it, and they all tried their best to maintain a calm expression, for fear of causing more people to be uneasy!

More than a quarter of an hour later, the sun slowly set, and the enemy army of about 10,000 people retreated like a tide, and the people in the camp couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and lifted the heartstrings that had been tense in their hearts!

Since more than half of the soldiers were recruited from among the refugees last year, it was inevitable that they would be a little panicked and uneasy in their hearts when they encountered such a large-scale war for the first time.

Because he has no certainty of victory in his own heart!

As evening twilight fell, there were piles of bonfires in both camps.

In the dark night, it looks unusually eye-catching!

After dinner, Zhang Hua, who has always been steady, looked against usual and muttered to everyone very mysteriously: "Don't go to bed early, there will be a wonderful show in the early morning!" ”

Not only Gongzi Wei Xing and the three of them were very confused, but several military candidates present were also confused, and they didn't know what Zhang Hua meant.

"Brother Hua, you like to sell everything like a child, say it quickly!" Huyan Leopard casually threw away the fish bones and muttered impatiently.

"Keep it secret, there will be no surprise when you say it!" Zhang Hua said jokingly with a smile.

Huyan Leopard really wants to punch him, to see if he can still laugh?

"It's early in the morning, there are still two hours, it's still early, I'll go sleep first, remember to call me!" Gongzi Wei Xing was also very curious in his heart, but it was not good to continue to ask, he beat the dust on his ass, stood up and went back to his tent to rest!

"I'll go back and rest first!" Huyan Leopard glanced at him, looking a little unhappy, and went back to rest!

After that, several soldiers stood up to inspect the camp and left, leaving only Meng Ping alone to accompany Zhang Hua.

"Lao Zhang, there are only the two of us left, just tell me in advance!" Meng Ping was also very curious in his heart, and asked quietly.

"It's not interesting to say it! However, I can give you a hint, didn't we take in hundreds of Cypriot slaves today? Zhang Hua winked at him mysteriously.

A minute later, Meng Ping suddenly thought of something, and said urgently: "Are you 、、、、、、?"

Zhang Hua immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "It's not interesting to say it, as for whether it's or not, in the early hours of the morning, you yourself will understand it instantly, wait to see a good show!" ”

After saying these words, Zhang Hua immediately stood up and left, leaving only a scratching Meng Ping, very distressed, he desperately wanted to know if he had guessed it.

、、、、、、

In the Western Regions, the night wind in early spring is still very cold, and the temperature has reached more than minus 30.

At these temperatures, very few people want to get out of the warm blanket.

"Instructor Zhang, everything is ready!" Running over at a gallop, he whispered back.

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Very good, go ahead!" ”

The rest of the people were standing by the side of the fire, quietly waiting for the good show that Zhang Hua said!

After a quarter of an hour, Huyan Leopard shouted impatiently: "Lao Zhang, why hasn't he appeared yet?" How long will it take? ”

"If you are annoyed, you can go back to sleep, I didn't specifically invite you!"

At this time, Zhang Hua was also a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that his plan would be seen through by the Cypriots in advance, so he casually said to him!

Seeing Huyan Leopard's helpless appearance, everyone immediately became happy!

"If there are no surprises tonight, Huyan, I will definitely beat you into panda eyes!" Huyan Leopard immediately said a cruel word, and turned his head to the other side in some depression.

After a stick of incense, the enemy camp four or five miles away made a chaotic noise, and the fire was much brighter!

At this moment, Zhang Hua slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "Everyone, the show has begun!" ”

He was very worried about his plan before, but now he completely let go of his anxiety and jumped a few times with some excitement!

At this time, in the middle of the two camps, dozens of bonfires suddenly appeared, and more than a dozen war drums were also beaten at the same time.

Subsequently, the soldiers in the Cypriot camp became even more panicked, and for a while they couldn't care about rescuing food, and found weapons to prepare to meet the enemy!

In the midst of the panic, three or four hundred men took advantage of the darkness of the night to quietly run out of the camp of the Serbs, and ran towards the campfire where the war drums sounded!

"Uncle Hua, what the hell is going on?" Gongzi Wei Xing asked with a happy face.

Zhang Hua said excitedly: "Childe, do you remember that we defeated the Sark chieftain last year and took in a lot of slaves of the Cypriots? ”

"Why don't you remember?" At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Uncle Hua, you won't let them go back again during the day, right?" ”

Zhang Hua smiled with pride on his face, but did not speak.
