Chapter 72: Night Attack

Early the next morning, Gu Du carried the Imperial Soul Box and three days' water and food, and took a hundred crossbow archers out of the customs and walked to the trench.

Chu Shuting looked at the door and shouted, "This is the second time!" I said I'd take Yaya there! ”

Lixia coaxed her: "Yaya can't go, we have to wait for the approval of the high priest and grandfather." ”

Chu Shuting muttered unhappily, "Words don't count." ”

Ten miles away from the Boundary River, where it was already far away from the grassland, and the trees were scarce, Gu Du let the hundred crossbow archers scatter and lie down on the grass to rest, so as not to be discovered by enemy sentinels.

After resting until dark, Gu Ducai called everyone up, and then marched towards the boundary river in the dark.

In the distance, the light of the torches was extremely conspicuous, and the laborers of Zeguo were still struggling to dig the soil, Gu Du opened the Imperial Soul Box and released the three hundred soul troops.

Moving forward to a distance of one mile, Gu Du waved his hand to signal all the cats to lower their waists, scattered and slowly advanced, and stopped at ten zhang, all the crossbow archers crouched on the ground, lined up in two rows, staggered back and forth.

Gu Du commanded the soul army to rush to the guards on the other side of the boundary river, and hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired in unison, and dozens of people fell screaming.

In the interval between the windings, the laborers in the trench climbed up to the north bank in panic, and were collided by Gu Du's soul army, and a hundred crossbow arrows were fired again, and dozens of people fell screaming.

Gu Du waved his hand, and the hundred crossbow archers turned around together, and the cat ran back the same way as he was, and ran straight out of half a mile before stopping, and then Gu Du waved his hand again, and the hundred crossbow archers moved westward.

Gu Du calculated it like this, two pots of arrows for one person, that is, forty arrows, and one hundred people is four thousand arrows, and if they are broken in half, they can kill two thousand people.

But the crossbow is wound too slowly, so you can only shoot two arrows in a sneak attack, and when you finish shooting, you can run and shoot again in another place.

Either you don't dig, if you dig you will die, shoot you 2,000 people in one night, and 20,000 in ten nights! Then they will lead their troops to attack, kill all your men, burn your camp, and see if you still scold!

walked out of more than two miles, touched the front again, shot more than a hundred or so people, and then Gu Du went west again.

The torches on the north bank of the boundary river were bright, and the enemy sent a battalion of soldiers, about 1,000 men, carrying torches and shields, to the shore.

Gu Du raised his arms and clenched his fists, and the hundred crossbow archers stopped, Gu Du stared at the enemy army in that camp, and saw that they had descended the boundary river one after another, and then climbed up from the south bank and relined the line.

Gu Du waved his hand back, and the hundred crossbow archers retreated backwards.

The enemy army began to search south, Gu Du raised his arm, spread his five fingers, and a hundred crossbow archers lined up in two rows, staggered back and forth.

Gu Du's hand flipped again, and the crossbow archer in the front row raised the crossbow.

Gu Du waited, and when the enemy army approached Shizhang, Gu Du's hand fell, and fifty crossbow arrows were fired, and at the same time as the screams sounded, the enemy general shouted: "Over there!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The three hundred soul army rushed forward, and fifty crossbow arrows in the back row were shot out immediately, and then the front and rear two rows alternately wound up the arrows.

But the enemy's crossbow arrows also came over, killing a dozen crossbow archers in an instant.

Gu Du pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted, "Kill......"

"Kill ......" The crossbow archer drops his crossbow and draws his horizontal sword to pounce on the enemy.

After a slash, the enemy army broke and fled, and Gu Du shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Everyone ran back and picked up the crossbows, fired the arrows again, and shot a group of fleeing enemy soldiers, and then Gu Du said, "Withdraw!" ”

Back to Zhenbei Pass, the sky was already bright, everyone was elated, although it did not reach the number of people Gu Du expected, but killing most of the battalion of soldiers was not worth the trip.

Wu Renxiong was extremely happy, and set up a celebration banquet to celebrate Gu Du's achievements, Guan Shanyue dropped a horse face again, and cursed in his heart: Damn it! is as showy as Chu Qin.

Lixia said: "Senior brother, I have to go with you tomorrow, I can't let you take all the credit alone." ”

Gu Du replied with a smile: "If you don't go tomorrow, how can you go every day, then you can't let people ambush you." ”

Rexia said, "Then take me with you next time." ”

Gu Du replied: "It depends on how the high priest approves it, if you don't let Yaya out of the customs, you can't go." ”

"Humph!" Chu Shuting said with an unhappy face: "Your words don't count, my wolves are useless!" ”

Wu Renxiong was stunned and asked, "What wolves?" ”

Guan Shanyue also stared at Chu Shuting with beads in her eyes.

Chu Shuting's eyes flickered and hid in Jin Lan's arms, Jin Lan said with a smile: "Children are talking nonsense, where are the wolves, the sentinel reports every day, if there are wolves, it will be reported to the general long ago." ”

Wu Renxiong smiled, he didn't believe Jin Lan's words, but since people didn't want to elaborate, they didn't have to chase after him, and said, "Come on!" Master Gu, drink this cup to the fullest! ”

Four days later, the official letter from the Imperial Soul Division arrived, and Gu Du and Lixia acted cheaply.

Lixia took the official document to Guan Shanyue for a look, and Guan Shanyue said: "It's good to have the official document, and I don't have to worry about this leisure anymore." ”

Gu Du went to Wu Renxiong and asked, "Are you still fighting?" ”

Wu Renxiong said excitedly: "Fight! If you fight hard, I'll give you credit. ”

Gu Du said: "That's nothing. ”

Wu Renxiong said: "You don't want me to ask for it, I am the general of the town guard, and you also have my share of this military exploit!" ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "Then you give me two hundred archers." ”

Takehito asked, "Don't use a crossbow?" ”

Gu Du replied, "The crossbow is too heavy, and the winding is slow. ”

Wu Renxiong said: "Okay. ”

Before leaving the next day, Gu Du said to Chu Shuting: "Yaya, this is going to the battlefield, I am a general, you must listen to me, I will do whatever I ask you to do, do not hesitate, let alone ask questions, understand?" ”

Chu Shuting replied, "Disciple understands. ”

Gu Du said again: "If you make a mistake this time, then I will never take you to battle in the future, and in order to protect you, your soul master can't fight either, understand?" ”

Chu Shuting replied, "Disciple understands. ”

Gu Du said to Conghai and Fang Shiyao again: "You two don't have to carry bows, each of you carries two pots of arrows for Li Xia and Jin Lan to use." ”

The two responded in unison: "Yes." ”

Fifteen miles away from the boundary river, I saw three enemy sentries in the distance, riding horses and wandering, it seems that the last night attack had a great deterrent effect, and the enemy did not dare to take it lightly.

At the same time that Gu Du saw the enemy sentry, the enemy sentry also saw them, turned his horse's head and ran north.

Gu Du said, "Yaya, let the three horses come back." ”

Chu Shuting stared ahead, the horse of the enemy sentry suddenly went around in a circle, and then ran back, the enemy sentry panicked and pulled the reins hard, but even if the war horse was strangled and raised its head, it still ran south.

Gu Du said again: "Yaya, let the wolf go up and eat the enemy, don't hurt the horse." ”

Dozens of wolves came running from a distance and pounced on the three sentry spies under the horses, while the three horses ran in front of Gu Du and stopped.
