Chapter 148: Light Cavalry Night Strike

Thank you for the tip!

……

After the wounded were placed and the punishment was promulgated, Zhao Wuxian had the heads of Zhao Shuqi's party disposed of separately, and all the corpses were moved to the threshing floor and piled on top of the firewood. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-

Zhao Wuxian directly lit the well, which had changed into a more armorless soap suit, and handed him the Songming torch.

"You go burn it yourself."

Jing Wei only agreed, limping forward, thinking about tonight's everything, he had relatives in his heart, although he picked up a life, but he lost everything he had gained in the past six months.

When the torch lit the firewood, there was a crackling sound, and the flames gradually grew in size, engulfing everything. A scent of human incense came, and the fireworks soared several feet high, allowing the light to be seen from miles away.

Iuichi shook his hand and threw the torch into it as well, desperately breathing in the smell of smoke and dust that made others sick. What is burned today is not only the corpse and the sin, but also everything in his past, and from now on, he will be a brand new well, a loyal man who can serve the gentleman wholeheartedly!

It's just that the sister who pities herself will definitely die in Xixiang...... Jing Jing's heart was sour, but he was slapped by Mucha and slapped him on the shoulder.

He turned his head and saw that Mucha had already taken off the curtain and smiled at him: "Great goodness, the signal has been spread." ”

Jing was a little dazed: "What signal?" ”

Mu Xia pointed to the swarthy distance and said: "The gentleman has no last resort, do you think Yu Xi and Tian Ben have gone?" ”

……

In the dark night, after a fire was lit in Chengxiang, which was on a higher level, a burst of cheers rang out in a depression at the bottom of the mountain that was easy to hide.

Twenty or so men in silk clothes carried short swords, gangs, bows and arrows, and other weapons, and lay down here, they were sent by Zhao Zhongxin and Zhao Shuqi to meet the people who went up the mountain, and the number was enough to be a whole two. According to the plan previously agreed, after setting fire to the village treasury and the craftsman's workshop, the people on the mountain will quickly come down, meet them here, and then drive back.

So the people, thinking that they had succeeded on the mountain, relaxed their spirits, and lit their torches, and in the light of the light, they untied the reins of their horses, and prepared to take their accomplices away. However, while the light gives people the illusion of safety, it also reveals its whereabouts to the beasts that lurk in the darkness.

Among the crowd, only the two Simas of Xixiang, who had experience in the army, squinted their eyes, looked at the fire on the mountain and muttered: "Something is wrong, something is wrong, that fire, is it too small?" ”

"Pap pap pap pa pap puff up and listen to the sound of the neat and the two simas immediately jumped up from the car, lay on the ground and listened, and found that the surface of the ground also trembled slightly, and even screamed badly.

"It's a chariot! Brigade's chariots! ”

Those who go up the mountain are on foot, not by car, so those who come are likely to be enemies!

Among the people present, there were two groups of people from Dongxiang and Xixiang. The people of Xixiang were warriors selected by Zhao Shuqi, and when they were attacked in the middle of the night, they did not panic, but gathered together. They relied on several wagons as barriers, with swords, ge, and bows facing outward, ready to meet the incoming enemy.

And the people in Dongxiang don't have such a good order, Zhao Zhongxin doesn't pay attention to military training, most of them are ordinary villagers, they are already scattered around, and after hearing the shouts, they ran towards this side out of breath.

"Ahh

One of them suddenly screamed, and after being hit by some mysterious force in the darkness, he instantly flew a foot away, and a hole was pierced in his neck, from which sticky blood flowed, and he convulsed a few times on the ground, and then he could not die again.

The man closest to him was panicked and crawled with a torch, when a huge shadow broke through the night and chased him from behind.

Now everyone saw that the attacker was riding a tall horse, he was wearing a leather jacket, leather armor on the top, trousers on the bottom, and a nine-foot spear. The knight clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, steered the horse with one hand, and with the other he controlled the tip of the spear forward, aiming at the man.

A man borrowing horsepower does not need to make much movement, he only needs to send the spear lightly at the back of the person running for his life below, and then, relying on the speed and strength of the horse is enough to kill.

The knight's spear pierced the man's chest from behind, and the tip of the blood-stained spear came out of his body, and he was not alive.

The voices of the two Simas of Xixiang suddenly became bitter: "It's not a chariot, it's a light knight riding alone!" ”

The light knight who rode alone on a horseback is said to have such a strange army at the gentleman of the Zhao clan in Chengxiang. Although everyone's lords, Zhao Zhongxin and Zhao Shuqi, have always scoffed at this, but today, they have only revealed a veil of mystery.

When the light knight succeeded, he let out a whistle with joy. He let go of the spear stuck in the corpse and struck his horse away. At this moment, someone on the side of the carriage had already tried to shoot an arrow, but it only flew by the saddle.

As if showing off his horsemanship, the light knight clasped his horse's legs tightly, reached out and took off the horned bow on the side of the horse, and with his backhand he took out a feathered arrow from the quiver hanging diagonally, and opened the bow with an arrow, and reflexively wanted to shoot!

The two Simas of Xixiang shouted loudly: "Be careful! ”

However, it was too late.

"Stretch"! Only a string sound was heard, and before the man who had just released the arrow had set up the second one, there was a cluster of feathered arrows at the front door, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone was amazed by his superb horsemanship and archery skills, and only two Sima continued to turn their heads and shouted: "Second and third sons, quickly, quickly extinguish the torch." ”

Those Dongxiang townsmen are still stupidly holding torches and running towards this side, isn't this a target for people!

He obviously shouted at the top of his voice, but the last few words became quieter.

It's not that the sound has become quieter, but in the depths of the darkness, suddenly a series of shrill whistling sounds sounded!

The knight's arrow seemed to be a signal, and then more than a dozen arrows shot out from different directions. The screaming sound of the arrow breaking through the air was getting closer and closer, and the two Sima subconsciously pressed the people around them and threw themselves to the ground together, and several astute companions also fell under the car at the same time.

At the moment when they touched the ground, they heard a few "poof" sounds, followed by continuous screams, and many people around them had already fallen to the ground with arrows, and the Dongxiang townsmen who had not yet hid behind the carriage were even more so, and they were suddenly shot over.

There was a slight pause in the whistling of the arrows, and the two Sima knew that this was not the end, but that the ambusher was winding. At this moment of life and death, he understood that the only helper on his side was the dark night!

"Come and lie down, and use the carriage as a barrier! Put out the torches and they won't be able to see! The two horses shouted and beckoned to their companions, but their voices were broken again by a volley......

……

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were countless examples of marching and fighting at night, when the Chu army could not defeat the Jin army, it repeatedly used "night escape", and the battle of Wu Yue Kaze was a famous night battle.
