Chapter 111: Killing intent is thick in the night
The men immediately hid in the woods not far behind according to Chen Yuan's request, made bamboo baskets with branches, cut down the vines coiled on the trees as ropes, and used the natural trunks to make simple trebuchets.
Cut down all the tree trunks that blocked the launch, and move them to the river to build a raft and confuse the horse bandits on the opposite side.
Sure enough, when the horse bandits saw them build the raft, as Pang Xi said, some of them began to shoot arrows in this direction, and some of them also ran to the back to cut branches and build a raft.
During the day, the sky is very bright, and both sides are a contest of open swords and guns, whether Chen Yuan sneaks away, or the horse bandits come and sneak attack, they must wait for the night.
The two sides spent a relatively calm day.
The moon was a full circle larger tonight than it had been when they had been driven out of the caravan two days before, but the night was thicker because of the thick clouds, and the trees and mountains in the valley blocking it.
The whole team was very nervous, and the woods behind them were full of murderous opportunities. This was the first time Chen Yuan had commanded a battle, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Chen Yuan divided the guys into two teams, one on the left side of the woods and one on the right. In his vision, as soon as the enemy rushed up, the ambushes on both sides would be killed together, and then the trebuchet would smash the enemy in the river into the water, so that the enemy on the opposite bank could not come.
As soon as the arrangement was completed, a figure ran to Chen Yuan's side in the dark night and whispered: "Shopkeeper, you can't arrange people like this!" ”
Chen Yuan looked back and saw that it was Yang Wenguang. I suddenly regretted it in my heart, why did I forget this little marquis just now? He was an expert at warfare, and what people heard from a young age was how to fight.
Anyway, now that Yelu Nglu is also in a coma, Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "That's it, your future identity will be the younger brother of Chief Pang, I will hand over this battle to you to command, how should it be arranged, you look at it, okay?" ”
Yang Wenguang nodded: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, then you will call me Pang Wen in the future, okay?" ”
Pang Xi smiled: "The villain is honored." ”
Chen Yuan patted Yang Wenguang: "Don't be verbose, you see how to arrange, just go, I'll let everyone listen to you!" ”
Yang Wenguang seemed to really like fighting, although this time he was only commanding a group of men and grooms, he was still very excited.
His arrangement is much more complicated than Chen Yuan's. Chen Yuan can only come up with a way to use a trebuchet to hit the opponent's bamboo raft, you let him go into battle to command, he really can't.
Yang Wenguang divided the two hundred people into four teams, and more than 50 specially launched the dozen or so improvised trebuchets in the woods, and among the remaining 150 people, selected more than 30 people who were in good health and dared to take the initiative to stand up, as the first batch of attack teams, led by him and Pang Xi, who would launch the first round of attacks on the enemy, and strive to push the opponent into the river at one time.
There are also a hundred people handed over to Amuda and Hu Jing, each leading fifty, Amuda as the second attack echelon, and Hu Jing is responsible for guarding, once an unexpected situation occurs, Hu Jing's echelon will solve it.
There were still a dozen or so people who were not in good health, and those who had been injured in the past two days, and Yang Wenguang handed them over to Chen Yuan as the general reserve. This also means that once this general reserve is used, it means that the whole battle has been lost.
When everything was arranged, everyone waited in the forest on the opposite bank, far away from the enemy, by the river, and waited for them. The horses were taken away and given as much rest as possible.
Chen Yuan felt that this kind of waiting was very difficult, his palms were full of sweat, nervousness, excitement, fear, and a little bit of anticipation made his heart unable to calm down.
His hands were shaking, and his head was blank.
Yang Wenguang was running around, patting the bodies of those guys from time to time, and Chen Yuan paid attention to what he was saying. Until Yang Wenguang ran to Chen Yuan, he actually patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder: "Shopkeeper, don't be nervous, look at my gestures for a while, we can win against them." ”
Chen Yuan subconsciously hummed, and Yang Wenguang continued: "If our brothers come together, we will definitely be able to go back together, right, shopkeeper?" ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”
After this answer, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, no matter what, he was the shopkeeper, and he should comfort others.
I had the heart to get up and comfort everyone like Yang Wenguang, but I found that my legs were trembling, as if I couldn't stand up straight.
When the crescent moon reached the middle of the sky, the birds on the other side of the river suddenly flew in shock, and Chen Yuan understood that the enemy was sneaking in their direction.
The sound of water sounded, and I saw the shadows of more than a dozen rafts floating down the river. There was no fire on the rafts, and then the hazy moonlight barely showed that there were at least ten people sitting on each raft!
At the same time, Chen Yuan suddenly heard that the birds in the mountains and forests in his east were also startled, which made Chen Yuan panic, and the other party actually sent people to bypass from the upstream, such a situation was very complicated, and the land and water attacked at the same time.
Yang Wenguang didn't panic much, he judged that the river was relatively narrow, and it was impossible for the other party to send a large number of men and horses over, so he immediately asked Hu Jing to take fifty people to the east to meet him, and he wholeheartedly cleaned up the enemy who crossed the river first.
Yang Wenguang said to Chen Yuan: "Their people are estimated to be more than 500 people. ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "I know, two hundred of us have made four rafts, and they are more than twice as many as us, of course about five hundred." ”
Yang Wenguang smiled: "Guess again, how many enemies are attacking along the river?" ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know about this, but I hope there will be less." ”
Yang Wenguang pointed ahead: "Judging from the raft, if the other party divides the people into three groups according to the standard method of crossing the river, then there will be at most a hundred people who will sneak attack along the river." ”
Chen Yuan was taken aback: "A hundred people are a lot!" Isn't Hu Jing dangerous? ”
Yang Wenguang didn't care, although there were as many as 500 people on the other side, but in Yang Wenguang's view, this was an excellent opportunity to prove himself. Chen Yuan is right, he came out this time to prove that he can still leave Tianbo Mansion! However, what Chen Yuan didn't guess was that Yang Wenguang did not prove it to others, but to show it to himself.
So even though there are many enemies and they are very strong, Yang Wenguang's fighting spirit is very strong. In particular, in his opinion, he has every chance of winning this battle.
The enemy crossed the river to attack, and he had a sharp weapon in his hand that the enemy did not expect, so he still waited for work.
Seeing that those bamboo rafts were about to survive, Yang Wenguang waved his hand, and the guys and horsemen here pulled up all the simple bows and arrows, and all the arrows were facing the enemy rafts, condescendingly and taking the advantage.
These arrows may not be able to kill the enemy, but in the darkness of the night, the effect of causing chaos on the first enemies who land is sure to be achieved.
