The terrible cry tore through the silence of the night, and the sound of the rushing river could not stop the slightest, but not many people were alarmed. To be precise, there are many people who are awakened, but not many people who get up and rush out.

During this time, Yanzhou soldiers have become accustomed to loud noises at night and fall asleep in the noise, and most of them sleep very deadly. Such a shout alone was far from the level of making a thrilling spirit jump.

Enemy attack? Where did the enemy come from? Don't be the celebrities in the warm pavilion of the city tower, what Yaxing and what new poems have been made, right?

Most of them were very calm, muttered and cursed a few times, and then calmly turned over and covered their heads with the quilt by the way. The autumn wind is cold, the drowsiness is thick, the nonsense is screaming, and the bastard who makes people uneasy should be cut with a thousand knives and pierced through the heart with thousands of arrows to relieve hatred.

Of course, the proportion of elite troops in the Yanzhou army is still quite high, and even if it is bombed by fatigue for a month, it will not be without vigilance at all. Above and below the city, there were still some people who followed the sound and looked out and determined the direction from which the warning came.

It's in the mountains!

However, after the first warning, there was silence on the mountain, as if no one had made a sound at all, which was obviously not normal. If there is really an enemy attack and they attack the mountain, even if they don't raise fire, the shouts of killing and screams should be endless, how can it be quiet?

You know, there is a battalion of soldiers and horses stationed on the mountain, more than 2,000 people! Killed silently? Isn't it the heavenly soldiers and generals who came to the surprise attack?

After a few glances and a few curses, the generals on duty gave up and continued to observe.

The night is so dark that you can't see anything, so it's better to stare at the castle tower, although you can't really see it either. But between the flickering candles, the shadows that sometimes flash on the window lattice are also very reverie.

Captain Qi is actually quite innocent, there are so many people on the top of the mountain, and he is the only one who preempts everyone, shouts loudly, and spreads the alarm signal, his voice is loud and full of energy. The reaction was not unpleasant.

Of course he knew that just shouting was not enough, but the problem was that he really didn't dare to say anything.

Originally, there were torches around the top of the mountain, but just when they were looking forward to a better future. All the torches except the north side were extinguished, and before you knew it. Along with the guards on duty in those three directions, they disappeared without a trace.

This realization made Captain Qi shudder.

It is true that many of the people who should have been on duty there have gathered around them, but certainly not all of them, and there are also many who are lazy, dozing, or content with their duties in the leeward. People who only think about the rules and regulations to be soldiers and eat food, such as ......

He suddenly sounded, the scream just now was familiar, yes. It's Wu Laosan's!

Wu Laosan's military rank is not high, he is just a tun chief, and among the twenty tun chiefs, he is an outlier. This man is very dedicated. He never gets involved in anything unrelated to military affairs, and he works hard and complains. It's like an old scalper.

This kind of anomaly, of course, only has the life of being bullied, or rather, everyone thinks it is bullying, but he himself does not have this consciousness.

The drudgery of patrolling the night and guarding the sentry is naturally indispensable to him.

The man didn't come to gossip, he couldn't be lazy, he just disappeared, and there was a scream that seemed to be from him...... An enemy attack, it must be an enemy attack!

As soon as the exclamation came out, Captain Qi figured out the trick clearly, however, before he could take further action, it was as dark as ink, and in the void that he didn't know how deep it was, a sharp hissing suddenly sounded again!

The sound is not high, but the speed is extremely fast, one moment, it is still in the depths of the ethereal and boundless void, and the next moment, it is in front of it! Flashing like a flint, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, it was unbelievably fast!

"Sneer......"

"Puff puff!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The neighing sound brought the breath of death, although Captain Qi had not fought much, he was no stranger to this kind of sound at all, it was the sound of sharp arrows entering the body!

Taking advantage of his own unpreparedness, he touched up from the back mountain, quietly cleared the slack, extinguished the torches, and finally, accidentally bumped into a loyal Wu Laosan......

is worthy of being a clever person who peeks into Liu Dai's thoughts, and in the moment of his thoughts, Captain Qi already knows what kind of danger he is facing.

The attack is undoubtedly the Qingzhou Army!

Only this army would be so enthusiastic and good at night raids, this is the glorious tradition left by its commander! The more favorable evidence is that this army is in a state of hostility with its own master, and the other side has every reason to do so!

He was shouting wildly in his heart, but Captain Qi didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

This night attack force is terrifying, because the people who make up this force are all sharpshooters!

It was because of his own exclamation that these archers lurking in the darkness invariably aimed at their targets. There were at least dozens of people around the black press, and after a round of arrow rain, half of them had already fallen!

Many people turned their heads in astonishment after hearing the exclamation, only to be caught by the killing machine that pounced in the dark. The sharp arrows pierced deep into their throats, hearts, and even faces, and all of them were critical.

The one who was hit by the arrow fell without snorting, and those who survived were all shocked and stood on the spot.

They couldn't react for a while, obviously they were happy a moment ago, how could it become a Shura field in a blink of an eye?

What to do? Alarm call? Or run away? Anyway, it's not about resisting on the spot, it's a joke, you don't even see what the enemy looks like, you don't see it anywhere, what else is there to talk about against the enemy?

The time left for them was extremely short, a wave did not settle, wave after wave, the sharp hiss continued, the second round of arrow rain soon covered over, those who stood stupidly in a daze all turned over and fell, blood splattered!

Only those who were in the crowd and reacted quickly enough, relied on the people on the periphery to block the disaster for them, and rolled to the ground in time, so they escaped. However, their calamity is far from over.

"Quick, come quickly, enemy...... Woo! A military officer did not wait for his body to stop, he raised his voice to shout, but as soon as he shouted a few words, the words that followed were sealed in his mouth and turned into a whimper, as if he was weeping for the loss of life.

What stopped him was a cold arrow! Shot straight into the soldier's mouth. Let him even post the screams.

This cold arrow was completely different from the previous two waves of arrow rain, not only accurate, but also extremely fast, the arrow broke through the air, and the sound was not hissing, but like thunder!

The arrow entered from the mouth, and the whistling sound was especially endless, and the huge force carried by the arrow directly lifted the unlucky guy on his head. And then slide out of the way.

Worker shooter also. Hearing the sound in the dark is in it, because of the name. Looking at this terrifying scene, Captain Qi gasped, and felt a chill from his heart, at the same time. A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind.

Shootout, that's right, it's the shootout battalion! The shooting battalion of the Northern Army has long been unworthy of its name, but this style is correct, looking for sound in the dark, and the arrow is not missing.

Others may not have had the same insight as him, but they felt the same trembling. No one tried to raise the alarm anymore, just rolled desperately on the ground, trying to find shelter, or any place of safety. to escape the killing.

It was not for nothing that he was bold, but he had no intention of speaking out, and several generals, including Captain Qi, all followed the slope at the top of the mountain. Rolled straight down to the bottom of the mountain.

The mountain is not high, and the slopes are not shaking. Rolling down in the dark, the dirt and sand are all down, and the sound is chaotic, and the archers in Qingzhou may not be able to get the right one.

The troops of the hilltop barracks could not be counted on, they were originally a patchwork rabble, and after most of the officers were killed, they lost their command, what role could they play in such a situation? It's good luck not to collapse at the first touch.

Staying at the top of the mountain, there is only a dead end, and the best way is to hurry down the mountain to report the news, and then gather a large army to counterattack.

There should not be many night attack troops in Qingzhou, and it is impossible for the brigade to avoid the surrounding eyes and ears, and some news will come out. According to the information that came from Licheng during the day, the suspicious soldiers from Licheng were still hundreds of miles away, even if they flew, it was impossible for them to fly to Chiping!

What's more, the main force of Qingzhou was fighting fiercely with Cao Cao in Leping, and it was impossible for it to suddenly appear south of Chiping.

It will only be a small group of raiding troops, just like the raid on the Yellow Turban Army under Duchang City that day, wanting to break the crowd with precision! If you want to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Yellow Turban Army, the most important thing is to put order in order and not give the enemy a chance to surprise attack.

With this determination, he and a few of his comrades rolled down the hill, but luckily, the sharpshooters at the top of the mountain gave up the pursuit, giving them hope of escaping; Unfortunately, the grass, trees, soil and rocks on the hillside have made them suffer.

In the middle of the whirlwind, the sound of crashing and muffled humming in the ears is endless, no matter how gentle it is, it is still a mountain after all, rolling down in the dark, the danger is not small, but it is not as desperate as it is to die on the top of the mountain.

I don't know how long it took, Captain Qi finally fled to the bottom of the mountain, and he was stunned to hear a burst of shouts of killing coming from the top of the mountain.

"How is that possible? They didn't take advantage of the situation to raid the army under the city, why did they fight on the top of the mountain? ”

"Yes...... Someone heard the commotion, right? The voice was a little weak, and it was clear that the speaker was still in the midst of a golden star.

"So coincidentally?" Captain Qi was a little incredulous, with a small number of enemies, the most important thing was to create chaos and expand the chaos. There were only two thousand people at the top of the mountain, and after the surprise attack, the collapse was certain, but the direction in which the deserters fled was difficult to control. If you can't drive the rout into battle, how can you expand the chaos?

When the camp under the mountain is ready, won't this raid fail?

That Qingzhou, which was trained by Wang Pengju, how could he make such a low-level mistake? In the early stages of their raid, it was very orderly, huh?

"Anyway, hurry up and go into the city to report the news, the people on the mountain won't last long, and it will be bad if they kill them."

"Say...... Yes, let's go. ”

Captain Qi finally looked up, there was already a fire on the mountain, and the raiding troops didn't seem to drive the rout into the formation, and then expand the chaos, they just launched a rapid attack.

The rout was obviously dazed, and there were figures flashing on the edge of the mountaintop, shaking, shouting, or dying from the sword and arrow, or falling from the top of the mountain, and the terrible screams and begging for mercy resounded in the sky, and even the big men in the city tower were alarmed.

The chanting and singing stopped, the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance finally stopped, and the cold night of early winter began to boil.
