Chapter 410: Dawn's Assault
Zhao Tong led the spearmen and lay down under a mountain rock. He had enough eyesight, and he could only see faint figures flickering in the forest in the distance, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't have noticed that those were fast-moving Wei family soldiers.
He could only barely see clearly, and almost no one around him could see clearly. He knew it might be because of the diet. He helped Wei Ba train the spear skills of the warriors in the Wei family, and knew that the food of the Wei family's warriors was very good, there would be meat at almost every meal, and he could often eat some beef and sheep offal. This kind of treatment is unique, even in the Wei family, the food standard of the martial arts is on par with Wei Ba's younger brothers and sisters, far better than ordinary tribals.
Raising soldiers is a very expensive business, and few families are willing to invest such a large amount of money. The Wei family is willing to spend money, so the combat effectiveness of the Wei family's warriors is far beyond that of the same kind, and there is no one like this kind of jishu who fights at night compared with the Wei family's warriors.
"Get ready and listen to my orders."
"Whoa." The personal guard behind him responded: "Young master, you can rest assured, this time Wei Shizhong gave us the Zhao family a chance, if we don't work hard, wouldn't it be sorry for the old general's hard work?" ”
"It's good to know." Zhao Tong smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at the mountain top in the distance, there was already some slight whiteness, and in another hour, the golden sun would rise from there.
Zhao Tong seemed to have seen the bright sunshine in front of him.
Wei Ba crouched under a large tree and watched as Dun Wu climbed the tree like a monkey, while the other two warriors crouched on the ground, sneaking forward like snakes. Quickly dived under a large tree. The remaining two warriors raised their crossbows, vigilantly watching everything around them. After a while, there was a soft sound on the tree, and a black shadow fell from above, and the two warriors lurking below caught it accurately, then gently put it on the ground, turned around, and made a gesture.
The two guards nodded and beckoned back, signaling that the Wu army's secret post had been cleared. It's time to move on. Then they hunched over. Like two tanuki cats, running forward silently.
The two warriors were separated by about five paces each, and moved forward from both sides of Wei Ba, except for the light rustling sound. There are hardly any other sounds.
It didn't take a while. There was another piece of news ahead. Another Wu army outpost was cleared and could move on.
Wei Ba turned his head and glanced at Han Zhenying, who was looking directly at the woods in front of him. smiled silently: "Can you see it?" ”
"Huh? Visible. Han Zhenying replied subconsciously, and then lowered her head shyly: "I...... I can feel it. ”
"Not actually visible, right?"
"Uh-huh." Han Zhenying pursed her lips and was a little frustrated: "If it is a bright and bright competition, I am not afraid of him, but he kills people invisibly, and it is scary to think about it." ”
"Dunwu only kills the enemy." Wei Ba said seriously: "If you want to live longer, then don't be his enemy." ”
"How can I be his enemy, I am ......" Han Zhenying suddenly felt that she and Wei Ba didn't seem to be right to say this. Wei Ba is the young master of Dunwu, that is, her young master, she used this tone to talk to Wei Ba a little offended, and quickly closed her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.
"It's fine." Wei Ba shrugged: "Although Dunwu is nominally my personal guard, he is actually my good brother, and he is a good brother who can entrust his life to him. Since you and he are two people, they are my younger siblings. ”
"Who said we were two?" Han Zhenying retorted weakly: "I still have to ask the master." ”
"If your master doesn't agree, I will sweep away your Shushan faction." Wei Ba stood up, beckoned, and motioned for Han Zhenying to follow. While they were talking, Dun Wu had cleared four Wu army outposts in a row, advancing the battle line nearly fifty paces.
Han Zhenying listened to Wei Ba's murderous words, and couldn't help but start, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly caught up.
As they got closer and closer to the Wu army's camp, Dunwu and the others, although they were skillful, still aroused the vigilance of the Wu army, and when a soldier on duty of the Wu army was frightened by the death of his companion and screamed, Wei Ba immediately ordered a strong attack.
The warrior, who had been quiet, suddenly stood up from his hiding place, raised the war knife in his hand, and rushed forward in a group of five. The soldiers who originally cooperated with Dunwu rushed to the front, two people drew their swords and ran wildly, and the other two raised their crossbows and shot deadly crossbow arrows at the Wu army who had just rushed out of the forest.
"Whoosh!" The two crossbow arrows left the string, and the two Wu soldiers were shot in the chest before they could see the enemy in front of them. The bolts pierced their leather armor and sank into their bodies, leading them backwards. Before they could scream, the two soldiers rushed to kill them, and with a flash of their swords, they slit their necks. Blood gushed out, and the Wu soldier fell to the ground with a roar, and then saw black shadows flying silently in front of their eyes.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Wu Jun, who was following closely behind, shouted loudly and drew his sword to meet him.
The rapid sound of gongs broke the silence of the mountain forest and woke up the mountain birds that inhabited the mountain forest, flapping their wings and flying into the sky, circling back and forth in the treetops, making a terrible chirping.
"Kill!" Under the protection of ten warriors, Wei Ba rushed forward through the big trees. Although he also practiced night fighting, the chances of actual combat were far inferior to those of these soldiers, and he had to run fast in the jungle where there was no road at all, and even if there were soldiers in front of him to open the way, he still walked very awkwardly. The whisked branches whipped him in the face, whipped on his face, and made him feel unbearable pain, but those warriors didn't seem to feel it at all, they walked like flying, like walking on the ground, and they didn't care about the whipping of those branches, as if they were just the gentle caress of a lover.
Han Zhenying pulled out her long sword and protected Wei Ba tightly. She now very much wanted to rush to the front to fight side by side with Dunwu, but Dunwu gave her the most important task: to protect Wei Ba and not let Wei Ba have any danger, so although she wanted to walk side by side with her lover, she still loyally protected Wei Ba. Although she can't fly flat like in the novel, she is far more relaxed than Wei Ba, running through the dense forest, she is like a leisurely stroll, tiptoe over the towering trees, almost without touching the ground. With a flick of the long sword in her hand, a sharp arrow was pushed aside by her, and the stunned Wu soldiers were pierced through the throat by her sword.
With Dunwu and others as the front and Wei Ba as the leader, fifty soldiers suddenly burst out and caught the Wu army off guard. In the face of the soldiers who leaped like tigers and leopards, they were simply unable to put up an effective resistance. Some of them had just risen from their hiding places when they were shot with sharp arrows, and before they could come to their senses, the soldiers had already killed them.
With a flash of swords, the swords split their shields, sliced the hilts of spears in their hands, and sliced their leather armor and chests.
The screams of the Wu army came and went, like a light wind, constantly blowing towards the camp of the Wu army, arousing a burst of fear everywhere they went.
The roaring sound of war drums broke the pre-dawn silence and woke up more Wu troops, who rushed out of their tents, scrambling to find their weapons, standing in the cool night breeze, looking at the mountains and forests that had just revealed their shadows in the distance, listening to the screams of approaching, they sweated like rain.
Invisible enemies, audible screams. All this is like encountering a ghost, which makes every Wu soldier feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
When Wei Jing put on his clothes and came out of the tent, he happened to see Wei Ba leading his soldiers out of the woods. He saw the real enemy, but he was not as nervous as the Wu army that came out first. As soon as he saw his subordinates standing there in groups of three or five in a daze, Wei Jing was furious, rushed to the command platform, and beat the war drums.
The majestic drums of war rose to the sky, officially opening the prelude to the war.
Wu Jun was awakened by the sound of war drums, and hurriedly looked for his battle flag, stood up under the battle flag, and prepared for battle. They did their best, but the oppression of the enemy was getting closer, and the dim morning light was not enough for them to recognize their battle flags, and the scene was chaotic. Some of them were armed but unclothed and ran around the camp naked, while others were clothed but unarmed, standing in the crowd, trembling and helplessly watching the enemy who was getting closer and closer.
The sound of war drums was remembered on the positions on both flanks, which added to the tension. Wei Jing's heart was burning as he looked around, not knowing how many enemies there were around him and where they came from. If it is a barbarian, then there must be no less, otherwise they will not easily attack the army.
Wei Jing didn't dare to imagine what the result would be, he could only pray that this was not the case, but when he saw the warrior wearing standard armor and rushing out with a standard ring knife and shield, he still couldn't help but gasp.
It's not a barbarian, it's the Shu army!
Could it be that the Shu army launched an attack? But whether it is the Shu army in Yong'an or the Shu army in Fuling, it is not a simple matter for them to climb over the mountains and mountains to get here. If such a situation really happens, it means that another fierce battle between Wu and Shu has begun, and it is without the Wu people being prepared at all.
Wei Jing just didn't expect Wei Ba. In his subconscious, Wei Ba should still be in Lishan east of Youshui, and it is impossible to appear here, not to mention that he only has one or two hundred Shu troops under his command, as long as it is a slightly normal person, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack him.
Wei Ba, who Wei Jing felt impossible, was leading the warriors to rush forward at this moment, and they were like a sharp knife piercing butter into the soup, easily wedged into the formation of the Wu army, separating Wei Jing from his left flank. They did not attack Wei Jing's Chinese tent, but bravely fought towards the water's edge.
Just when Wei Jing was puzzled, Wang Shuang and Wei Xing came out from the right side. Wang Shuang, who was a head taller than ordinary people, roared angrily, raised a knife in his left hand, danced a hammer in his right hand, and strode forward, sweeping down an enemy every time he swung the hammer, in front of him, no matter how brave Wu Jun was, he was no different from a child, except for holding his head and running away, his head was broken and bleeding.
