Chapter 1062: The Torchbearer

The entire camp of the Zhiyuan Legion, under the reflection of the firelight, countless arrows shot towards them, and now Zhang Niujiao's eyes were red, and the shadow of the enemy had not yet been seen.

But he saw the enemy's arrows rain densely, and pieces of arrows appeared in front of him, and in the afterglow, he saw his men fall one by one, and his heart was resentful, and his eyes were already dark.

It was an overwhelming rain of arrows, all of them were the archers of the Great Qin Empire, and they delivered the most powerful blows.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh、、、"

The voices were endless, whether it was Xu Gongming or Zhang Niujiao, the faces of the two people changed greatly, they were in the military tent, and they had already dug a ravine.

Most of the soldiers were hidden in the ravines, and a few of them were still working, which was fine, at least not to be attacked by bows and arrows.

In fact, the most worrying thing is not the soldiers hiding in the big tent, but the soldiers who patrol.

"Ask me, how are the soldiers outside?"

The speed of the bow and arrow is still very fast, and there will be a few screams of sorrow in the camp from time to time, and if people who don't know the reason will probably be worried a long time ago.

If the soldier's psychological tolerance is not strong, it is likely that there will be deserters, which is the most worrying, but no one cares about this.

Even Xu Gongming opened his mouth with one sentence, asking about the safety of the soldiers outside, as for the rest, it seems that he didn't pay attention to it at all, which may be strange to some people.

It's just that if you think about it carefully, you can understand that it sounds like the soldiers who are attacking with bows and arrows in their hands, and the roar is more miserable, but everyone knows it in their hearts.

As long as it doesn't hit the key parts, but only a little bit of minor injury, there will be no death, and Xu Gongming saw it clearly, and the soldiers around him were also injured by arrows.

Most of the brothers, when they were attacked by bows and arrows, only experienced temporary discomfort in their bodies, even if they had some scars, they were all skin injuries, and they didn't kill everyone at all.

"Yes!"

This sentence is definitely not for ordinary soldiers to hear, and there are no other generals except Zhang Niujiao who are still by Xu Gongming's side, not to mention those who are still patrolling outside.

He Xu Gongming just knew, but who it was, it was just a conjecture in his heart, and there was no accurate answer, and Zhang Niujiao's voice soon sounded.

"Yao Bo, Huang Bin, Zheng Xing, Su Kanglin, Wang Shen, how are you doing?"

The archers chose to strike at this time, and it is likely that the army will soon be overwhelmed, as has been the case in warfare, from ancient times to the present, starting with a long-range strike.

Wait until the long-range weapon strikes are completed, and then the real attack will follow, so everyone is still very patient at the moment, as for why Zhang Niujiao asked.

In fact, he has no bottom in his heart, and as for whether there is any bottom, everyone is still not very clear.

"Dashuai, everything is fine outside!"

Zhang Niujiao said this to Xu Gongming, in fact, Xu Gongming had heard this sentence a long time ago, but he only remembered it now, as for the soldiers patrolling outside.

The Great Qin Empire didn't care about them at all, and the long-range attack went straight to the big tent, so it was able to escape the catastrophe.

"Excellent! Hurry up and withdraw to the camp! ”

Xu Gongming said casually, this is also a way to do it, if they continue to stay outside, when the army is pressing, their life and death will be at stake.

It is likely that at the moment of the enemy's thoughts, the casualties in the battle are not terrible, but the terrible ones are the kind, meaningless casualties.

"Yes!"

The other party's answer was also very simple, after all, this matter has surpassed everyone's cognition, if it was just a temptation at the beginning, I am afraid that it will be a large-scale attack after a while.

Even the ordinary soldiers didn't guess how could the other generals not have the slightest foreknowledge, and soon several rounds of arrows were inserted into the battalion everywhere.

Moreover, among the enemy, there are some clever fellows, and for the ordinary big tent, it is not the archers who are most afraid, but the torchbearers, if they pour fire oil on the bows and arrows.

It's worrying to think about, but fortunately, although the other party used this method, it was just some small flames, and even when they burned, there was no such thing at all.

The posture of being able to burn everything to ashes, this situation still made Xu Gongming breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this time he was passive, and he was ruthlessly put on the other side.

Of course, this is also what he would like to see, although there will be some losses, and the losses here are not in terms of personnel, but in terms of materials, especially the tent overhead.

Looking at the devastated appearance, I sighed in my heart, these tents on the periphery are probably not of much use, and they will be finished with the overwhelming arrows.

Soon everyone heard the slightest noise, if they didn't pay attention to the people who were watching.

Maybe it won't be discovered for a while, but Xu Gongming doesn't think so, there is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the enemy has begun to attack.

"Prepare for battle!"

He said this calmly, and soon everyone began to prepare, even the soldiers who were hiding in the ravine, closing their eyes and recuperating, began to equip everything one by one.

Under the leadership of Xu Gongming, the Zhiyuan Legion has made great progress compared to before, and everyone's eyes are cold, especially the old eyes and dizzy look, which disappeared in an instant.

Replaced by a resolute face, Zhang Niujiao silently watched all this, and the whole person exuded a majesty, as well as the killing intent in the sky, those arrows just now.

Now they are still erected in the tent, everything is predicting, the next battle, I am afraid it will be a tough battle, I especially care about Xu Gongming's expression, there is no joy or sorrow.

On the surface, he looks very calm, but he is also not calm inside, after all, the strength of the other party is not weak, if he relies on everyone to be well-equipped, it seems that there is not much threat to the enemy.

What's more, the great reputation of the Great Qin Empire, even if it is now in decline, it cannot change the former glory, and he took a deep breath.

"I'll leave the matter to you!"

patted Zhang Niujiao's shoulder, among the Chinese army, now the cavalry troops have long been ready, and the rain of arrows just now has damaged the periphery, but the Chinese army has nothing to do.

This is the advantage of too many people in the army, watching Xu Gongming leave with his personal guards, Zhang Niujiao's heart was relieved.

With a handsome man by his side, many things are timid, and he can't let go of his hands and feet to do a big job, and now he is finally leaving, so Zhang Niujiao's mood at the moment, everyone is likely to understand.

"Commander, please rest assured, if you can't stop the enemy's attack, I am willing to accept military justice!"

This guarantee is still very firm, if it weren't for the full confidence in his subordinates, he would not only boast about this, but in fact, what Xu Gongming wanted, that is, his subordinates could be independent.
