Chapter 84: Scared them to death
Looking at the bright camp, Wu Miao retracted back into the bushes and leaned aside comfortably.
"All of you cheer up, keep an eye on the road for me, don't let the people who come back for help run into the camp so easily!"
Wu Miao was explained by Deng Yueru, and she also knew that the village was not far from the camp, and if the officers and soldiers who went to the surrounding villages to make trouble really fled back, they would not be able to stop for long, and if they alarmed the camp, they would also be in danger.
So Deng Yueru told Wu Miao that their main task was to harass the camp so that the people in the camp could not rest and sleep.
The nearest village to the camp was six miles away, and according to the footsteps of the sergeants, it would take about two minutes to reach the small village.
When Liu Python and Captain Jiang walked to a place about three miles away with more than 100 sergeants, suddenly the two sergeants who led the way in front stepped into the air and fell into the pit in an instant, and the dozen sergeants who followed behind them also fell into the pit.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
Captain Jiang was very alert all the way, and as soon as he saw the people in front of him fall into the trap, he immediately turned over and dismounted and shouted, causing the remaining sergeants to form a circle and be on guard.
As soon as the soldiers were organized, an arrow feather flew from a dark distance and hit Liu Python's helmet directly, so frightened that Liu Python screamed and fell off the horse.
"General Liu, are you alright?"
Captain Jiang hurriedly ran over and found that the arrow feather only hit the upper part of the helmet and did not hurt Liu Python.
"Bastard! These bandits must have known the identity of General Ben, so they wanted to kill General Ben. ”
Liu Python seemed to be frightened, and he could see that his face was pale under the light of the torch.
"General Liu, they may have shot you when they saw you on a horse, and the target was obvious, so they probably didn't know your identity."
Although Captain Jiang didn't want to complain, but when this Liu Python was ambushed, he didn't hurry to get off the horse to dodge, but wore a suit of armor and sat on the back of the horse under the light of the torch.
"Extinguish the torches, hide in place, and watch out for the enemy's arrows."
Finding that Liu Python's face was even worse after hearing his words, Captain Jiang hurriedly let go of him and turned his head and shouted to the surrounding sergeants.
Soon, all the torches were extinguished, and Captain Chiang and the sergeants dispersed, hiding behind the surrounding rocks and trees.
As the torches were extinguished, the surrounding area was dim, and it took a while for Captain Jiang to gradually adapt to this dimness, and he could barely see the surroundings clearly by the moonlight and starlight.
However, at this time, the surroundings were quiet, and the enemy did not move at all, which made Captain Jiang very puzzled.
At this moment, there were suddenly several soft shouts and the sound of falling to the ground around the area, and Captain Jiang immediately led people to run towards the place where the sound came from, and found that the three sergeants hiding under a few trees had already been killed by someone cutting their throats.
"Everyone be careful, the enemy has mixed into the team, everyone can't be left alone, a few people lean together, find out the enemy who has mixed into the team as soon as possible!"
As soon as Captain Jiang saw the corpse, he understood that it must have been after the torch was extinguished, and when the team was dodging in confusion, the enemy took advantage of the chaos to get in.
Captain Jiang had just finished chanting when a shout came from not far away, but the sound quickly disappeared. When Captain Chiang rushed over, several more sergeants were killed.
In the next quarter of an hour, this ghostly enemy continued to appear, taking the lives of nearly twenty military personnel.
"Ghosts! There are ghosts! ”
In the face of this invisible enemy and the increasing corpses of his own people, the ten government soldiers brought out by Liu Python couldn't stand it, and a few of them threw down their weapons and ran in the direction of the camp.
But not long after he ran into the darkness, there were several screams in the darkness, and it was evident that all those who had run out had been killed.
Invisible pressure came with layers of darkness, and panic spread among the remaining sixty or so.
"Captain Jiang, what should we do?"
Since entering the darkness, Liu Python has been following Captain Jiang's side, almost never leaving.
"We have to find out where the enemy is, or we'll all be crushed. Everyone, all of them are leaning towards me! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Captain Jiang understood that he couldn't be so passive anymore, so he picked up a torch from the ground, and then lit it and threw it into the distance.
"Quick, light all the torches and throw them around!"
Liu Python understood what he meant at once this time, and hurriedly instructed the sergeant who came closer.
All the sergeants moved together, and all the torches that were quickly extinguished were re-lit and thrown around, and the surroundings were finally illuminated, and in the faint light of the fire, Captain Jiang finally found several black shadows flashing by, and hid in the distance beyond the reach of the firelight.
"Don't be afraid, it's just some people who are wearing night clothes, everyone watch carefully and find out these people."
Captain Jiang found that the number of men in black did not seem to be large, although he didn't know if there were still people in the darkness in the distance, but he could only encourage the remaining sixty or so sergeants.
"Captain, what shall we do? The owner of the village has explained that we can't expose it. ”
A black-clothed special soldier came to Zhang Wu's side, looked at the torches in the distance and asked softly.
"Let everyone withdraw, let's gather Wu Miao and go back to the mountain together. By the way, let a few people take off their coats and prop them up with branches, and put them in a dim place not too far from the torches, and let them be frightened birds here, and let's go back to sleep, and there will be a battle to be fought tomorrow! ”
Zhang Wu looked into the distance and instructed a few people on the side.
"Hehe, it's still Captain Zhang's idea, they think that we have been watching them in the dark, and they don't dare to move, so they can only hide here in fear. It's better for them to be stupid and stay here until dawn! ”
A younger special name smiled softly, and quickly turned around to make arrangements.
Soon, four or five dummies propped up in black clothes and tree branches were ready, and they were carefully placed by the special forces in a position that could be faintly seen by the officers and soldiers. Then, under the leadership of Zhang Wu, everyone went to find Wu Miao and the others to rendezvous.
"Why did you get back?"
When Wu Miao saw Zhang Wu, she almost thought that she was asleep and dreaming.
"Our mission is almost complete, for the sake of ease of movement, we only have a bow and arrow, and the range of the crossbow is too close, so after destroying some of the enemy, we retreated, anyway, they are already frightened like frightened birds.
But the most pity is that there seems to be a general over there, but unfortunately I missed an arrow, only the hat was shot, so he dodged! ”
Zhang Wu smacked his lips and felt that it was a pity, if he clicked the enemy's generals before the war started, it would be more face-saving to say it.
