Chapter 48: Night Attack (2)

In the night, under the hazy moonlight, the camp of the four thousand forwards of the Great Food was located two miles north of the camp ten miles west of the Anxi army camp. From a distance, a little fire spread out, and the four camps crouched quietly in the shape of a field, two or three miles away in length and width.

The four thousand food forwards were all light cavalry, and there were not many baggage with the army, and the time was limited, so it was naturally impossible to build a well-defended and heavily guarded battalion like the Anxi army. At this time, only in the direction of the Anxi army camp, a long trench was dug out, and trees were cut down to erect a row of walls. In the other three directions, there was only one deer barricade, and outside the deer barrage, many dense small pits were messily dug into the horses' hooves.

At this time, at least a quarter of the four thousand Great Eclipse Forwards had not slept, and their eyes were wide open, nervously watching everything around them. Outside the camp, there were two hundred horsemen with torches in hand, and another hundred horsemen were hidden in the shadows and darkness.

Inside the four camps, hundreds of cavalry were standing guard on all sides, or patrolling the camp with torches in hand. Even the big food soldiers who are sleeping and resting are also waiting for the day, and the weapons are placed in a place where they can be reached, and many people simply sleep next to the war horses, and they can join the battle at any time if there is a situation.

Just as the Anxi Army scout ranger said, since the other party dared to set up camp close to the Anxi Army camp, he must be well guarded this night, and it is really difficult to sneak attack. But nothing is absolute, this time, they met Xiao Quai, who is brave and likes whimsical.

In the darkness of the night, a group of Anxi cavalry marched quietly to the northwest without raising fire, and marching quietly to the northwest. There was silence all around, only a violent heartbeat and heavy breathing could be heard, and everyone was too nervous and excited to do anything. Only the young general at the front, who was riding a tall horse and holding a one-foot-two-foot spear in his hand, looked relaxed, looked left and right, and looked at his expression, as if he was going to play.

This person is naturally Xiao Quai. Seeing him like this, the five hundred Anxi cavalry behind him shook their heads in their hearts, this newly promoted general of Anxi Mansion was really bold. Everyone still knows a little about this newly emerging upstart of the Anxi Army.

He is the righteous brother of Gao Gaocheng, His Majesty the Emperor personally named him the Marquis of Shouchang County, and wanted to summon him immediately, but he dared to resist the decree, and even did not give the emperor's face, which can be seen in his boldness. This time, his plan was even more daring, and he was ready to take only one person to lure the enemy in person. Perhaps, since he is so confident, it will only depend on his means when the time comes!

The terrain had already been surveyed by one person, Xiao Quzhi took the five hundred horsemen to a small forest and took off the bamboo piece in his mouth: "You are ambushing here, Bai Xiaode leads three hundred horsemen in front, and Gu Xiaojun leads two hundred horsemen in the rear." When Amir Jiang and I lead the Great Food Sentinel here, Bai Xiaode will wait for them all to enter the ambush circle, and then shoot them with bows and arrows, and cut off their way back; Gu Xiaojun led two hundred horsemen to block his way and ensure that he would not let one go. Do you have confidence? ”

"No problem, I promise not to let one go." Bai Xiaode also took off the bamboo chips and replied in a low voice, but he was thinking in his heart, as long as you can attract them.

"Don't worry." Gu Xiaojun took off the bamboo piece with his index finger and thumb and made an OK gesture towards him, of course, this gesture was taught to him by Xiao Quai.

Hamuzai was a patrol captain of the Great Food Army, he had been patrolling for two hours, and he was already a little tired at this time, the upper and lower eyelids of his two eyes began to fight, and his head sank unconsciously. He bit the tip of his tongue violently and forced himself to cheer up, and the safety of the four thousand people was tied to his own patrol horses, and he was absolutely careless. He glanced back at the nineteen members behind him, and whispered a few of his men who were dozing off.

"Cheer me up! This look, don't Anxi dog thieves don't even know if they touch it. ”

The two knights, who were almost asleep, immediately raised their heads, wiped their sour eyes with the back of their sword-holding hands, and looked around nervously. Under the pale moonlight, the ground seemed to be thinly plated with a layer of silver, the long grass on the ground swayed in the wind, and there were a few shadows of trees in the distance. Looking far away, there were bonfires in the direction of the camp in Anxi, and outside the camp, like them, there were seven or eight patrol rangers with torches wandering around.

Where is there an Anthy dog thief touching it! General Asim was so cautious. Not to mention that the Anxi dog thieves also have to sleep at this time, even if they really plan to touch it at this time, we are not afraid, and it is not that we have not fought with them.

During the day, because of the news of the defeat, the 600 Khorasan elite cavalry were almost completely annihilated by the 500 Anxi army, and for a time, these 4,000 Khorasan religious warriors all put away their contempt for the Anxi army and suffered from phobia. However, in the later contact, the two sides fought lightly, and they soon found out that the Anxi army was nothing more than that.

"Captain, don't scare us, where is there any Anthy dog thief? Anxi dog thieves also want to sleep, we are so heavily guarded, I don't believe they dare to play night raids! A food ranger muttered.

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Another ranger worried. This is a dutiful veteran, he looked around, and when he turned his head, he was suddenly stunned, he rubbed his eyes and suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that?" ”

The people looked in the direction he pointed, and in the northwest direction, two knights, one in front of the other, did not raise their fires, but galloped straight towards them. Everyone was puzzled for a while, seeing that this direction should not be from the Anxi camp, they ran so quickly, and they were facing their own team, could it be the messenger from their own side? And what is the emergency military situation?

As soon as Hamuzai's eyes signaled, two Khorasan warriors immediately drove their horses to meet them, shouting as they ran: "Stop coming, what is the military situation?" ”

As soon as the words were shouted, the two of them were a little stunned for a moment, at this time the distance between the two sides was only more than forty steps, and the two of them could already see clearly that the knight running in front was clearly a Tang man!

"It's the Tang people......" Before the words fell, an opening was made in his throat, and he struggled a few times, and fell off the horse obliquely; His companion did not escape the same fate, and was shot in the center of the eyebrow by the knight behind him, and died before he could say a word.

The two horsemen who came suddenly were naturally Xiao Quzhi and Amir Jiang. Xiao Qu's crotch is a sweaty and bloody horse, and it is like a red lightning bolt under the full sprint, and the distance of more than forty steps is almost in the blink of an eye, not to mention that the other party is still running towards him.

The change happened in an instant, and the situation came too suddenly. Before the other eighteen people could react, Xiao Qubing had already rushed to them. The spear surged forward like lightning, and it clicked three times on the shoulders of the three Great Eaters closest to him, leaving three bloody holes more than an inch deep.

When the blood shot out, Xiao Qubing had already passed them, and in an instant he ran ten paces away, and then turned his horse's head sharply and rushed towards another group of large food sentry horses.

More than sixty steps behind Xiao Quai, Amir Jiang secretly shouted hello, Xiao Quai's riding skills were still a scum when the two first met more than a month ago, but now, they can almost be compared with themselves.

He also turned in a more beautiful posture, following closely behind Xiao Quai. He also shot two or three arrows at the pursuing Great Eclipse Cavalry, and like Xiao Quai, these two or three arrows were not fatal.

"Tang ......"

"Catch up with them......"

"Kill them ......"

After a brief moment of astonishment and shock, there was a complete anger that was ignited, and the eighteen surviving Great Food Patrolmen immediately chased after them regardless of the situation. joke, there are only two people on the other side, and they relied on horse speed and sneak attacks to kill two people on their side. Now they still want to escape, are we really dead? If that makes you run, then we can really die.

Soon they found out that the two Tang men in front of them did not want to escape, but actually rushed straight towards the other team of Arab patrol horses. This made them even more angry, and the two Tang people clearly did not take them as elite Arab warriors in their eyes.

"These two are Tang people, intercept them quickly!"

"Don't let them run away, kill them......"

A few hundred paces away, another team of Great Food Patrol Riders also discovered the anomaly here, and twenty people were rushing towards this side without hurrying. In the white moonlight, I saw two horsemen rushing straight towards them, and a team of their own patrol horses behind them seemed to be chasing them?

What's going on?

Just when they looked confused and couldn't figure out what was going on, they heard their own patrol riders chasing behind them shouting loudly from a distance. Don? Intercept them? Isn't it that the two Tang scouts who were about to return to the camp were so confused that they actually regarded us as the Anxi camp, and actually crashed into it?

The captain of the team quickly made up an explanation that seemed to him to be the most reasonable, and then unhurriedly put a front three or four feet wide in front of the two of them, and pressed them over.

When the distance between the two sides quickly shortened to more than thirty paces, he could already vaguely see the young and handsome face of the Tang man in front of him. To their surprise, the Tang boy was not nervous, scared, or flustered on his face at the moment, but excited, looking very proud.

Then they saw an even more stunned scene, when the two sides were less than twenty steps away and were about to collide with each other in the next moment. The young man actually played a beautiful high-speed turn, and the red horse under his crotch grazed one of their outermost knights. In the process, the Tang man didn't hold the reins in either hand, not only was he thrown off his horse, but he also had time to wave his spear and knock the weapons of several people on his side fly!

The Turk, who was more than fifty paces behind him, also made a greater arc, and at the same time shot two arrows at them. However, both arrows were soft, and the aim was not enough, and it seemed that this man was about to run out of strength.

Undoubtedly, the second team of the Great Food Patrol immediately turned around and joined the pursuing team, then the third team, and then the fourth team......

This chase naturally also alarmed those big food and dark sentinels who were hiding in the dark shadows. They were also completely confused about the situation, and saw a group of people chasing two people from a distance. When they hesitated to join the pursuit or interception, the enemy horseman with the spear rushed straight at them as if he had already discovered them, and after killing one person, he immediately turned to flee, and soon the four teams of secret sentinels soon joined in.

If someone can look down on all this from the sky from an omniscient perspective, they can quickly find that Xiao Qubing and the two of them almost used the most efficient and fastest method to connect the eight patrol horses and the four teams of secret sentinels. The two of them relied on their horses to be fast, and they could always rush out of the gap when the other party was about to close the circle. Then take a large lump of big food chasing soldiers behind to connect with the next team of big food patrols.

At this time, the two of them had already run around the Great Food Camp, and successfully merged all the patrols and dark posts outside the Great Food Camp. The two began to run in the direction of the ambush circle where Bai Xiaode and Gu Xiaojun were, and more than 300 cannibal cavalry chased after them.

During this period, there were also a few large cavalry members who became suspicious of the behavior of the two. But most of the Great Eaters had lost their minds and gone completely insane. The other side only rode twice, and we chased for so long that we let him run away every time we almost caught up (intercepted). From time to time, the man slowed down a little to make a close contact with the person chasing at the front, turned around and shot the man's weapon to the ground, and then accelerated to regain the distance.

Almost all the Great Eater cavalry were so angry by him that they were about to explode. The advantage of the fast speed of the Arab war horse, which was once the proudest of all, was also wiped out in front of these two people. This Tang boy is clearly mocking them, undermining their confidence and breaking their psychological superiority. The more this is the case, the more you can't let him go!

Because the other party ran a lot more, and many times in the rapid gallop, the speed did not decrease, turning out of thin air, so that more horsepower consumption, they believed, continue to chase, or it will not be long before the opponent's horsepower will be consumed. Well, since the speed can't be compared, let's compare the endurance! I don't believe that our Arabian horses will lose to you in endurance!

The big cannibal thought right, and if he continued to chase, the two of them would soon be unable to support their horses. The sweaty BMW is known for its speed and endurance, and it is a little better, but Amirjiang's war horse is about to be unable to hold on at this time. His horse is also the only BMW in the Tianshan grassland, and it is said to be the result of a cross between the Don hippopotamus and the local wild horse. Tall, thick-boned, and good for charging (sweaty BMWs are tall, but with slender bones, good for loaming, not good for charging), and fast enough, but not as good for stamina. At this time, it is almost at its limit, and if you continue to run, it will cause permanent damage or even complete scrapping.

However, the big cannibal can't wait for this time, because Xiao Qubing and the two have successfully run into the ambush circle.

At this time, Bai Xiaode's three hundred horsemen were ready, and the three hundred single-bow crossbows were aimed at the big food cavalry running at the rear, just waiting for them all to enter the ambush circle; The two hundred horsemen under the command of Gu Xiaojun were also ready to attack.

"The two of them really brought in the Great Food Patrol!" Including Bai Xiaode, the five hundred Anxi knights all had the same thought in their hearts: "General Xiao really does what he says, not just whimsical." In this case, maybe what he said, tonight, our five hundred horsemen can defeat the opponent's four thousand food forwards, and it may not be possible to achieve it! ”

When the last chasing cavalry entered the ambush circle, Bai Xiaode no longer had any hesitation, and was the first to detain the teeth of the crossbow machine. With the sound of the first crossbow strings trembling, the sound of teeth wrenching, and the sound of crossbow strings vibrating violently, more than 300 Great Food Cavalry were shot dead in an instant.

These three hundred horsemen were hidden in the shadows of the trees, and the attention of the Great Food Cavalry was all attracted by Xiao Quzhi and the two of them, and the distance of forty paces, the effective distance of one hundred and twenty paces The single-bow crossbow that can break through the armor has no possibility of missing the shot. The reason why there are still a hundred Great Food Cavalry left is that they are afraid of accidentally injuring Xiao Qu and the two of them.

At this time, Gu Xiaojun had already killed with two hundred horsemen, and the three hundred horsemen on Bai Xiaode's side also hurriedly hung the single-bow crossbow on the saddle, brandished a spear, and surrounded it with horizontal knives.

The battle ended without suspense, when there was a tingling sound of crossbow strings trembling, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and the sound of arrows entering flesh. The less than 100 surviving Great Food Cavalry were immediately stunned, almost stupid, and they didn't need to fight, they were in a mess. Many knights stopped their horses abruptly, and then they were bumped into by the knights behind them, huddled together. Before he could react, he was killed by the Anxi army that rushed over five times his size.

"Leave fifty men to clean up the battlefield, send ten men to lead the captured more than two hundred Arab war horses to the main camp, well, leave two for me and Amirjiang. The rest of the people, follow me to another location, and carry out the second step of the plan. A series of military orders came out of Xiao Quai's mouth, but at this time, no one had any doubts and immediately carried them out to the letter.

At this moment, all the Anxi soldiers present admired Xiao Quai's illness so much that they couldn't do it, and they were convinced.
