Chapter 192: Counting is Counting
These twenty warriors have been following Wei Ba for more than a year, and they practice martial arts together when they have nothing to do, and the degree of tacit understanding can be described as unparalleled.
Eighteen crossbow arrows passed through the gap in the gate of the walled gate and accurately hit their targets, and the ten Wei soldiers almost did not react, they were hit by the arrows one after another, and fell to the ground screaming. The lookout on the watchtower had just been alert, one leaned over to look, and the other reached out to take the drum, and before they could react, two sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the darkness and hit the target.
"Ahh As soon as his other hand touched the drum pole, he was shot, and he held on and rang the gong that gave the alarm.
"When, when, dang......"
"Whoosh!" Another arrow flew out of the darkness, and the sound of the gong abruptly stopped, and the Wei soldier also fell from it, making a loud bang.
As soon as the gong sounded, the camp immediately reacted, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of several tents close to the camp gate, and they roared and rushed towards the camp gate.
They were greeted by a rain of arrows.
The twenty soldiers are all equipped with the latest standard repeaters, equipped with large-capacity arrow magazines, each box has twenty arrows, which can be fired in a single shot or in bursts. The firing range is thirty paces. In the hands of these Wei family warriors, within thirty steps can almost be said to be a good example. A few people with particularly high marksmanship were ready to hit the target even at a distance of forty paces.
Twenty repeating crossbows were fired at the same time, almost as powerful as a hundred crossbowmen, and in an instant, a dense rain of arrows was fired, and the Wei soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp fell to the ground one after another. When they raised their shields, took good precautions, and cautiously rushed to the camp gate, they saw nothing.
The camp was empty. Nothing.
Thirty paces away, Wei Ba and twenty Wei family soldiers crouched in the dry grass, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to pounce. vigilantly watched the Wei army in the camp. After shooting a dense rain of arrows, taking advantage of the panic of the Wei army, they immediately fell to the ground and crawled thirty steps in a crawling attitude. This distance is exactly where the torches of the Wei army cannot shine. They were wearing black night clothes again, and it was difficult to spot them until they came to them. If someone is standing on the watchtower. Maybe you can see them moving, but the two soldiers on the watchtower have been shot by them, and when someone rushes up to the watchtower, Wei Ba and the others have already moved out of their sight, standing still.
Creeping forward, it was Wei Ba who taught Dunwu their jishu, in order to practice this jishu well. They've done a lot of work. Today's night raid proved that this forward stance was better than their previous lurking effect.
They stopped thirty paces away and did not leave, just to decide the next course of action according to the reaction of the Wei army. If these people go out of the camp to pursue, it will be in the middle of the game, and the number is not large. They would rush up and kill them before they ran, and if there were too many, they would just get up and run, leading them into an ambush. If these people are just in the camp, then they will take the opportunity to strike again.
Killing people is not the goal, harassing them and making them nervous is the real intention.
Under the gaze of Wei Ba and others, although the Wei army camp lit up a lot of torches and an officer who looked like a lieutenant came, he did not go out of the camp to check after all, but only arranged more patrol manpower.
Dun Wu quietly crawled to Wei Ba's side: "Young master, they are very timid, they just let them bring more shields, but they don't dare to come out to chase." ”
Wei Ba glanced at him: "It's not that they don't dare, but they don't want to." ”
Dunwu smiled: "Young master, then should we go again, or withdraw?" ”
"Tsunotake, the most haode sniper, never fires two shots in the same place." As Wei Ba spoke, he quietly crawled back. Dunwu frowned: "Gun, is the gun used?" He muttered as he beckoned his companions to retreat with Wei Ba.
They had barely climbed a hundred steps when they felt the earth tremble slightly. Wei Ba turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, two cavalrymen, holding torches, outflanked from both directions of the camp, the number of people was about two hundred, and the torches in their hands illuminated the front of the camp.
Wei Ba couldn't help but gasp, if they had retreated a little slower just now, they would have been intercepted by these cavalry.
Dunwu and the others couldn't help but be taken aback, they fell to the ground, motionless.
"What about people?" The cavalrymen reined in their horses and circled back and forth in the camp, some of the cavalry forming a circle in all directions, and the other knights ready to charge.
"I didn't see it, I guess I ran away." The people in the camp shouted.
"His mother's, running so fast?" The knight on horseback scolded loudly: "Lao Tzu rushed to the police as soon as he heard the alarm. ”
"Nobody says you're slow, it's those bunnies who are too fast." The battalion responded loudly.
"Quick? No matter how fast it is, it can be faster than Lao Tzu? ”
Although the knights were not convinced, they did not dare to rush into the night to sweep, and it was not a wise act to lose a few knights for the sake of a handful of sneaking enemies, nor did it conform to Sima Shi's orders. They scolded in front of the camp and walked away.
Seeing the cavalry disappear into the darkness, Wei Ba sat up from his hiding place and beckoned, "Let's go, let's change directions." ”
"Whoa." The warriors' voices were low, but they couldn't suppress their excitement.
……
Sima Shi turned over and sat up, rubbing his brows gently. In front of him stood Liang Ji, who had joined the army with a nervous face. In less than an hour, there were three attacks outside the camp gates, more than thirty soldiers were shot, and two knights who did not obey orders, and the knights who chased them into the darkness were also lost.
"What kind of person is this, who can move freely in the dark?"
Liang was speechless, he also wondered what kind of person could show such a powerful combat power in the dark night. Night battles are demanding. When it is dark, you can't see the flag, you can't sneak attack, and you can't use gongs and drums to act in unison, you can only rely on the tacit understanding between each other, which requires people who act to get along with each other all year round, almost heart-to-heart. Again, they were small-scale operations, and each one had to be very lean, capable of striking sharply in a short period of time, and retreating before the enemy could catch their tracks. Once embellished by the other party. That's a lot of luck.
Sima Shi thought that he was cautious enough, and he paid enough attention to Wei Ba, and he was fully prepared for the night attack. But when it came to the end, he found that he still couldn't stop Wei Ba. Wei Ba was like a ghost in the night, right beside him, sneering at him contemptuously. But he couldn't catch him.
"I heard that Wei Yan has a set of training troops, presumably these are the elite scouts of his subordinates." Liang Ji saw that Sima Shi's face was not very good, and hurriedly comforted: "Young master." As long as we hold the camp, their ghostly tricks won't work. By the time dawn tomorrow, they would naturally disappear. ”
Sima Shi smiled bitterly: "But, in the next few hours, we just waited?" ”
Liang Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Young master, you must not attack rashly." Wei Ba is insidious. It is likely that he is hiding heavy troops outside. ”
"Heavy troops?" Sima Shi stood up, his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the big tent. After a while, he turned his head and said to Liang Ji, "What do you think." How many elites can Wei Ba have who are proficient in night raids like this? Hundred? Two hundred? Five hundred? Thousand? ”
Liang Ji smiled bitterly. It is not easy for such elites to be hundreds, anyone can have a hundred such warriors is a matter of pride, how can there be hundreds or thousands. It took so many years for Sima Shi to raise the dead, and it took him more than 300 people. He paused: "I think it's a hundred people at most." It is not easy to fight at night, and most of the soldiers cannot see at night, which is not human. ”
Sima Shi nodded: "I think so too." He raised his head, pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Joining the army, do you think that Wei Ba's night attack was just to kill a few people and keep me awake?" ”
Liang Ji frowned slightly, and suddenly realized: "Young master, he is tired of the army." ”
"That's right, I just want our army to be unable to rest, and he will be frightened overnight, and by tomorrow morning, he can attack and raid." Sima Shi opened his hand, then slowly clenched it, and at the same time clenched his teeth, and his eyes became a little fierce. "If he inflicts heavy losses on our army, he can not only remove the danger of being pursued by our army, but also severely demoralize our army."
"That'...... What does the young master mean? Liang Ji had already thought of a countermeasure, but he still looked at Sima Shi with a blank eye.
"Then we'll do what we want, and wait for him to fall into the net." Sima Shi thought of the happy place, and couldn't help but smile: "I want to see if he can be as proud as he is now when that time comes." ”
Liang Ji shook his head secretly. So far, Sima Shi has not even taken a picture of Wei Ba's face, and the so-called pride of Wei Ba is just his imagination. This is not a good sign. How much do you have to hate each other to create a living image in your mind?
Liang Ji thought for a while, and then reminded: "But, young master, how can we keep the soldiers from the interference of the night attack and maintain their physical strength?" ”
"Isn't that easy?" Sima Shi sneered: "Order the cavalry in ambush to show their shape, no longer have to wait for the rabbit, let them patrol around the camp, and don't leave any chance for Wei Ba to sneak attack." I don't believe it, he still dares to attack my cavalry head-on? ”
Liang Ji pondered for a moment and immediately realized that this was a good plan. Those cavalry originally wanted to outflank the sneak attackers, but now that they can't catch them at all, it is better to show their figures, patrol around the camp openly, and not give Wei Ba any chance. In this way, although these cavalrymen were a little tired, they could ensure that the soldiers in the large camp could sleep peacefully and recuperate enough to cope with the possible fierce battle tomorrow morning.
"Young master, what a plan."
Sima Shi smiled reservedly. He was excited to think of this clever plan now, but his background did not allow him to get too carried away. Liang Ji is his father's cronies, and his every move will be reported to his father by Liang Ji, and he doesn't want to leave his father with the impression of being frivolous and not having a city government.
