Chapter 72: The Sneak Attack Succeeds
When the two sides met, there was not much greeting, and Zhao Xiaoer asked straight to the point: "Three masters, can you command the infantry in the inner city to fight?" ”
The third commander shook his head and said: "Impossible, the original soldiers of the Black Mountain Village, although they will not fight against me, but it is not possible to command them to fight, otherwise I would have controlled them to find those two thieves desperately." ”
Zhao Xiaoer said: "Then how do you guarantee that when we fight with the cavalry, they will not stab the knife?" ”
The third commander said: "Didn't you just say, with me, they won't fight against me, but I can't command them, it's as simple as that." ”
"And who can command them?"
"Two masters."
"That is to say, the cavalry is the commander of the big master, the foot pawn is the second commander of the master, and you, the third master, are just a pawn they use to appease the foot soldiers?"
The Third Commander smiled bitterly: "You're right, that's why I haven't dared to go against it." ”
"Understood."
Zhao Xiaoer led the archers, with the cooperation of the three commanders and Chen Jialu, all the way to the cavalry station behind the cottage silently.
"Take the path."
The three commanders were very familiar with the terrain of the cottage, and they took the mountain path and rushed all the way to the rear of the cavalry camp.
At this point in time, it was almost lunchtime, and all the cavalry in training stopped training, and all the riding poodles were feeding forage.
Zhao Xiaoer's face was full of surprise, and he whispered to the three commanders next to him: "The poodle is actually a vegetarian animal?" ”
The three commanders explained: "The forage is filled with meat, the poodle eats everything, and even people eat when they are hungry. ”
Chen Jialu also felt strange, and asked curiously: "Isn't that dangerous, what if one accidentally eats the cavalry itself?" ”
The three commanders chuckled and said: "This is a tame poodle, let you eat whatever you want, I just said an untamed poodle, it is an omnivore." ”
"I see."
Zhao Xiaoer suddenly felt a rise in his posture, and then saw that the cavalry soldiers had returned to the camp, and knew that the time had come, so he waved his hand to signal the archers behind him to prepare with bows.
After all the archers were ready, Zhao Xiaoer pointed his spear forward and shouted: "Release the arrow." ”
Suddenly the arrows rained down, all aimed at the poodle's buttocks and back and other non-vital parts, which was required in advance, and only in case of crisis, it was allowed to shoot the poodle's vital points.
It's a pity that the archery skills of the archers are only rudimentary, and the accuracy is insufficient.
The poodle was in disarray, and the howling of the poodles soon alarmed the cavalry soldiers and commanders in the camp room.
Soon, a second round of shooting began on the archers' side.
When the Grand Commander and the cavalry soldiers arrived, the five poisoned arrows brought by each archer soldier were all poured into the poodle, and now the poison had not yet occurred, and it was circling the world around the outside of the camp.
The commander whistled, and the cavalry rushed to their mounts, skillfully turning over the dogs, and all gathered in the open space in front of the leader.
"Kill!"
The Grand Commander stepped onto one of the poodle leaders who obviously had the temperament of a boss, and pointed his spear at the location of Zhao Xiaoer's arrow array.
"Array!"
Zhao Xiaoer stood at the front of the team, with a cold expression, but unfortunately he was an infantryman, and without a war horse, he would lack the majestic pretend to be a bonus.
"First echelon, ready."
Half of the soldiers in front of the arrow array raised the iron bow in their hands, the feather arrows were wound, and the tips of the arrows pointed obliquely into the air, waiting for the battle.
The cavalry training camp rushed to the location of Zhao Xiaoer's arrow formation, and it was necessary to bypass half of the camp.
According to Shen Yu's explanation in advance, as long as these poisonous arrows touch the blood, the attack time is about 2-5 minutes, and from the camp, it can be one minute if it is fast.
However, with the time for the cavalry to assemble in a chaotic manner and the time for the formation, it took about 3 minutes.
Therefore, in the process of the cavalry assault, the mounts of the cavalry began to weaken their limbs, and after holding on for a while, the dog immediately lost its front hooves, and threw the cavalry riding on the dog into an upside-down onion.
As soon as the poodle flipped over, nine out of ten of the cavalry who were thrown away were thrown to pieces, and their combat effectiveness was directly disintegrated by ninety percent, and they were not even qualified to be infantrymen.
The Grand Commander rode the poodle boss and ran majestically in front of him, completely oblivious to the commotion behind him.
By the time they were almost within range of the arrow array, most of the cavalry had been paralyzed halfway, leaving only a small number of poodle cavalry that had not been injured by bows and arrows or had not yet suffered a poisonous attack.
Continuing to rush forward, the expected rain of arrows did not come, and the Grand Commander felt that something was wrong, and looked up ahead, only to see that the leader of the infantry on the other side was looking at him with a smile on his face.
The commander's heart suddenly stopped, and a whistle stopped his mount, and then he found that only a few cavalrymen were behind him, and he was immediately startled.
"What's going on?" The Grand Commander asked sharply.
One of the cavalrymen who came with him trembled forward and said, "The big boss, the cavalry behind don't know why, and they all fell to the ground inexplicably in the middle of the way." ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
“……”
As soon as the words came out, the Grand Commander also knew that he had been blind, and at this point, of course, he knew that the problem was with the team on the other side.
The Grand Commander reined in his mount, took a few steps back, and then shouted, "The kid ahead, but you're a troublemaker?" ”
"That's right." Zhao Xiaoer generously admitted.
How could the commander think that the other party was so honest, and he was so angry that he vomited blood: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to come to my cottage to find trouble?" Also, how did you get in? ”
Zhao Xiaoer laughed: "You just reacted now?" It's tragic. ”
With a big wave of his hand.
I saw that behind the arrow array, under the escort of Chenjialu, the three masters, who were scribes, slowly walked out.
"Is that you?"
The Great Commander's eyes widened as big as copper bells, and he shouted: "Ye Quanzhong, where am I sorry for you, allowing you to collude with outsiders to betray me like this?" ”
The third master, that is, the scribe Ye Quanzhong, sneered and said: "You are also worthy of me?" When you killed me as the master of the Black Mountain Village, did you think about it today? ”
The commander said hatefully: "That dead ghost treats you like a general, I treat you like a brother, and promote you to be the third master, this is a great trust in you, but you are so treacherous, you really deserve to die." ”
Ye Quanzhong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, laughing so much that tears came out, and he stopped for a while, and then pointed at the commander and asked loudly:
"Do you know what the relationship between the master of Dazhai and me is?"
"What's the relationship?" The Grand Commander asked in a daze.
"That's my uncle, my own uncle." Ye Quanzhong hugged his fist at the cottage, "The reason why I was committed to the whole and lived under your command was nothing more than thinking about today, otherwise with your identity as a thief, you still want me to work for you, it is a dream." ”
