Chapter 524: You Don't Understand My Tenderness
Chapter 524: You Don't Understand My Tenderness
The perimeter of the campsite is a flat slope, and at the bottom of the slope, Zhang Zhun and others have been coming down the slope to the dense woods in front. At the beginning of September, most of the trees have not yet begun to shed their leaves. The woods here are even more lush and leafy. In the night, you can't see the distance of two feet in front of you.
The group came to a gap and could see farther away. Because, in the distance, there was a lot of firelight. In the firelight, there were shadowy figures, and there were people on horseback. There is no doubt that these are the horse thieves who are trying to attack the Tiger Army. Their arrival was indeed relatively rapid, and as soon as the Tiger Ben Army set up camp, they came.
Obviously, the horse thieves were preparing to surprise the Tiger Army and take the Tiger Army by surprise, but they did not escape the Tiger Army's lurking outpost. Since a sneak attack is no longer possible, the only way to do this is to launch a strong attack. Looking at the posture of those horse thieves gathered there, they should be discussing how to launch a strong attack.
"Horse thief!"
Liu Xing screamed uneasily.
Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at the horse thieves in front of him through the gap in the woods. The number of horse thieves was about four or five hundred. They were wandering in an open space to the west of the camp, and there were a few people who looked like leaders, who were pointing fingers at the camping on the Tiger Army's side, as if they were discussing something.
Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun roughly clicked, there were only less than two hundred war horses in the horse thief's team, and the other horse thieves were all on foot. In other words, even if he Zhang Zhun can capture more than half of the war horses, it will only be about a hundred, which is a drop in the bucket! It is impossible to capture all the horses.
It was night, and the horse thieves felt the bright torches illuminate the mountains red. The red firelight made Liu Xing feel very nervous. The light of the fire was projected through the cracks in the woods and fell on the camp of the Tiger Ben Army, like a red sword, cutting the camp into dozens of pieces. He felt that his heart had been raised to his throat. If the horse thieves had rushed up now, none of them would have escaped.
"Huh?"
Thinking of this, Liu Xing subconsciously looked around him, but found that only he and Zhang Zhun were there, and even Liu Mang and Brother Wei were gone. He couldn't help but snort. Looking at the campsite behind, it was also quiet, and there was no one at all.
"Lord Governor......"
Liu Xing vaguely felt something, but there were no words to express it accurately.
"It's okay, let's concentrate on the show."
Zhang Zhun said lightly, not paying attention to the horse thief who suddenly appeared. With that, he sat down behind the tree and closed his eyes. The horse thief in the west was no more than a hundred zhang away from his location, but he was so calm.
Liu Xing couldn't sit down. The arrival of a large group of horse thieves put his mood in an extremely state of several photos. He looked up at the tree, determined to climb to the top of the tree and see what was going on around him. As soon as he said it, Liu Xing immediately climbed up along the big tree, climbed all the way to the top maid, and then found a gap where he could see the most, and lay on it to look around.
Sure enough, after climbing to the big tree, Liu Xing found that his vision had broadened a lot and he could see a lot of situations. Not far to the west, perhaps one hundred and fifty or sixty feet away, a large number of horse thieves were approaching the camp through the cracks in the woods. In order to light the way forward, many horse thieves have blazing torches in their hands.
These horse thieves are the ones from Wulian Mountain. He'd seen these people before. When the horse thieves were raging in Andongwei, Liu Xing was on the head of Andong City and looked at these horse thieves fiercely. Now, they reappeared, but he was left without the walls of Anton. For a moment, Liu Xing felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
A bandit on horseback fell from his horse.
The other horse thieves hurriedly stopped their advance and hid behind the trees, not daring to move.
Liu Xing curiously searched for the source of the gunshots, but found nothing. It must have been the Tiger Ben Army who fired the shots. However, he didn't know where the Tiger Army was hiding. Due to the poor visibility in the woods and the fact that it was night, the white smoke from the firing of the firebolt was shrouded in darkness and foliage, and there was no trace of it.
The horse thieves with torches could not see where the enemy was hiding. Because of the firelight, the horse thieves are in the light, and the tiger army is in the dark. The horse thieves stood in the light and looked in the dark, and naturally there were many details that could not be seen clearly. But if the torches are thrown away, they can't see the road again. There was no way, they had to reduce the number of torches. As a result, the originally red firelight gradually turned yellow, and finally turned miserable yellow.
"Up!"
"Onward!"
"Kill them!"
Faintly, Liu Xing could hear the screams of the leader of the horse thieves.
He seemed to be able to see the hideous face of the leader of the horse thieves. They must have thought that the Tiger Ben Army was doomed this time. Unexpectedly, 300 people dared to go to the crossroads to spread wilderness, which was simply looking for death. The commander of the Tiger Ben Army was still a little mentally retarded, and he actually chose such a camp that was not dangerous to defend. The horse thieves only need to pass through the woods and attack the camp directly.
Comparatively speaking, the Tiger Ben Army's side is unusually quiet. Except for Zhang Zhun sitting under the tree, Liu Xing couldn't see any tiger army, and even Liu Mang, who was still beside him just now, couldn't see it at all. The tiger army of several hundred people disappeared into this dense wood, as if a bucket of water had been poured into the desert and disappeared without a trace. However, Liu Xing could feel that the tiger army of more than 300 people was hiding in this wood, quietly waiting for the arrival of the horse thief.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, another gunshot rang out, and another horse thief fell off his horse.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, several more gunshots rang out in succession, and several more horse thieves fell from their horses. Due to the large number of horse thieves who fell at the same time, a small commotion was immediately caused. Many horse thieves were indiscriminately firing their firearms or arrows at the nearby woods. But whether they hit the target or not, even the horse thieves themselves are probably not clear.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Before Liu Xing could react, suddenly, there was a loud gunshot, like a firecracker that suddenly exploded. The horse thief in the middle of the march was shot by a storm of Minnie bullets. Countless torches fell to the ground, followed by the dense screams of horse thieves and the panicked neighing of war horses.
Liu Xing looked in the direction where the screams were most intense, and was shocked to find that there were actually a lot of horse thieves falling over there. At a cursory glance, at least fifteen or sixteen horse thieves fell to the ground. There were constant heart-rending moans of pain. There are also horse thieves struggling desperately on the ground. Faintly, you can still see the yellow dirt, which has turned red, apparently stained red with blood.
Some of the torches that fell to the ground set the thief's clothes on fire and lit a fire. The burned corpse of the horse thief naturally did not react at all. But if it is the wounded of the horse thief, especially those who cannot extinguish the flames themselves, the screams of pain are simply terrible.
"It's better not to start a forest fire......
I don't know why, seeing such a tragic situation, Liu Xing was actually worried about whether the torch that fell on the ground would cause a forest fire. It's September, autumn is crisp, the weather is dry and rainless, and many trees are dry. In the event of a forest fire, the consequences are simply unimaginable. As for the life or death of those horse thieves, he didn't care at all. It is better for them to wail in pain for three days and three nights, and then slowly lose their breath. Speaking of the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain, there is no ordinary military household of Anton Wei who does not hate.
Fortunately, the torches that fell to the ground were picked up by the horse thieves again. The sporadic wildfires that were caused were also extinguished by horse thieves. Because, in terms of wind direction and terrain, if a wildfire burns, it is the horse thieves themselves who are unlucky. If the woods burned, they would not be able to continue attacking the Tiger Army's camp. From this point of view, the horse thieves obviously did not realize that the Tiger Ben Army was hiding in this wood.
Obviously, after suffering the cold shots of the Tiger Army, the horse thieves were a little confused, and they had to retreat temporarily. For a long time, there was no attack. The leader of the horse thieves is constantly studying the attack plan in the back. Soon after, more torches were lit, and the light in the mountains began to turn red again, and Liu Xing began to feel the pressure again.
On the side of the Tiger Ben Army, it was still quiet, as if there was no sound. No matter what kind of actions the horse thief has, the Tiger Ben Army's side will always respond to all changes with the same. Zhang Zhun, who was under the tree, did not issue a new order, and it felt as if he had fallen asleep.
This strange calm made Liu Xing feel a little breathless. He had never seen such a battle before. In the past, when shooting with firearms, you had to line up to fight. Both sides fought in open areas. In such a scattered manner, there is no possibility of any results at all. However, what the Tiger Ben Army adopted was this kind of scattered combat method, and it also achieved good results. Liu Xing had to admit that he was seriously unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Tiger Army.
After a long time, the horse thieves attacked again. This time, the horse thieves took a scattered formation and pounced on the Tiger Army's camp from all sides. In order to prevent the dense killing of the Tiger Army, the distance between the horse thieves was also relatively farther. In order to prevent attack, the horse thief fired aimlessly at all directions with his firearms, or bows and arrows. For a while, all the mountains were filled with ping-pong gunshots.
Liu Xing's heart was raised to his throat again.
The Tiger Ben army is not large in number, can it stop so many horse thieves from attacking at the same time?
"Bang!"
"Bang"
"Bang!"
At that moment, staccato gunfire rang out.
In the midst of gunfire, horse thieves continued to fall. No matter which direction the horse thief came from, they were constantly defeated by the Tiger Army. Some horse thieves tried to hide behind trees to avoid enemy fire directly in front of them. Unexpectedly, the shot from the side easily knocked them to the ground. Those horse thieves couldn't estimate where the Tiger Army would suddenly appear. As a result, they were nervous and constantly looking around, which led to a very slow pace of progress. The slower they advance, the more likely they are to be hit.
Liu Xing suddenly understood that the campsite was just a bait, but it was actually a trap. Zhang Zhun deliberately made the horse thieves feel that the camp was easy to attack, but in fact, the horse thieves had already been attacked on the road leading to the camp. The camping ground is just an illusion, and this grove is the real battlefield. The horse thieves accidentally entered this battlefield.
Relying on the long range and high accuracy of the Tiger Ben, the Tiger Ben Army can completely adopt the method of shooting cold guns, one by one, one by one, and slowly consume the strength of the horse thief. Because, in such a forest, large-scale troops cannot be used at all, and the superior forces of the horse thieves are of no use at all.
In fact, Zhang Zhun's strategy is indeed like this. lure horse thieves to attack the campsite, but secretly set up an ambush in the grove. Originally, it was the horse thieves who ambushed the Tiger Army, but now it has become the Tiger Army ambushing the horse thieves. It's a pity that the hot-headed horse thief doesn't seem to realize this yet. If they calm down, they should retreat quickly and not continue to entangle with the Tiger Army in the woods. In the face of the tiger and the weapon in the hand of the horse thief, there is no advantage at all. But how could the horse thieves be willing to give up attacking the Tiger Army's camp?
Deploying a campsite that looks full of flaws is to give hope and motivation to the horse thieves, so that they will not give up the battle easily. If you don't give the horse thief a little hope, how can the horse thief be willing to let go and attack? Again, the main purpose of war is to destroy the enemy's living forces. The same is true for horse thieves. As long as the horse thief's living force is destroyed, it will be safe to enter Crossroads. The situation now is that the longer the battle lasts, the greater the casualties of the horse thieves.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. When the horse thieves thought that they could easily catch Zhang Zhun, they were already falling one after another in the continuous cold shots. Such casualties are very fragmentary, and if you are not careful, it is difficult to notice. By the time I realized it, it was irreversible. If you want to use one sentence to describe Zhang Zhun's strategy, it can only be my tenderness, you don't understand.
Zhang Zhun's request to the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army was simple, each of them killed at least one horse thief. If you kill two, you will be considered to have overfulfilled your mission. If you kill three, you will be praised. If you kill four, Zhang Zhun will meet him personally. If you kill five ...... I'm sorry, but the number of horse thieves, there are simply not so many.
"Tap the action."
In the darkness, there was a low call.
This is the sound of Shangguan squeezing bones. The sniper team led by Shangguan Quegu and others lurked in the woods, specializing in cold guns. By the time the horse thieves tried to get closer, they had killed at least four horse thieves and captured two horses. But, on average, there is less than one person. The sniper team has been reorganized, and there are eight people. At least four horse thieves need to be killed to meet the minimum requirement.
Shangguan's name is a bit strange, in fact, it is the result of Mr. accidentally misspelling. The military households are basically illiterate, and the children's names are given by the old gentlemen who ask for private schools, and they usually charge three cents. If you want to get better, you have to pay five cents. Shangguan's father, who was squeezing his bones, originally wanted to give Wuwen money and wanted to give him a better name, but after Mr. Private School chose a good name, he wanted to change his hexagram again and wanted to save Erwen money, so he said that the name that Mr. had chosen was not good, and only gave Mr. Sanwen money.
The old gentleman in the private school didn't make a sound, just silently took a piece of paper and wrote down Shangguan's name. As a result, I didn't know what the name was, but in the end it became a bone squeeze, which naturally meant to satirize his father, and even the oil in the bones had to be squeezed. However, his father couldn't read and could not feel the sarcasm of the old gentleman at all, so it was the next, so his name became Shangguan Squeeze. However, in the Tiger Army, which is generally not at a high level of education, no one notices anything strange about such a name.
"Xiao Ye, you move lightly!"
Shangguan squeezed his bones and beckoned his teammates.
Xiao Ye's marksmanship is good and his reaction is quick, but he is more impatient. In the battle just now, Xiao Ye never found the target and shot, so his mentality was a little unstable. In the group, no one wants to drag others back. No, just after entering a new lurking position, Xiao Ye couldn't wait to shoot.
"Bang!"
Not far away, a horse thief fell from his horse,
The two horse thieves next to him were taken aback and hurriedly looked around for the enemy's movements. However, unfortunately, they could not illuminate the hiding place of the Tiger Army. The horse thieves are in the light, the tiger army is in the dark, they want to find the target, how easy is it?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Ye and Xiao Chen fired their guns at the same time.
The two thieves fell to the ground, and their bows and arrows were thrown aside.
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang are on guard at the side, ready to deal with horse thieves who may run up.
After waiting for a while, no horse thief came up, so Xiao Chen went out and pulled up the reins of the war horse and tied it to a tree next to it so as not to get lost. These war horses, after the end of the battle, will be owned by the Tiger Army.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A moment later, three more horse thieves quietly touched them. It is conceivable that what awaits them is naturally an accurate and fierce Mini bullet. After three consecutive gunshots, all three horse thieves fell.
"Eight!"
Someone whispered.
The sniper team of eight people just killed eight horse thieves, which is considered to meet the most basic requirements. However, no one will be satisfied. They also have to create more results. Therefore, they continued to throw themselves into the fight.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In the woods, the gunfire continued.
