Chapter 303: Bolling's Counterattack (3)

The soldiers in the Rorschach Pass had been waiting for a long time, and finally waited for the order from above, at this time, all the crossbow arrows and bows and arrows were attacking in the direction where the sound came, and the arrows rained down, and after a while, the sound of those voices seemed to be gone, but Luo Yajun was still shooting arrows, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the enemy's head. Gillias listened carefully in the back, and felt that something was wrong again, why was there not the slightest movement in the night, as long as it was a normal person, once he was hit by an arrow, he would let out screams and moans. After listening for a while, Gillias was convinced of another false alarm and ordered his troops to stop firing.

Subsequently, Gillias hurriedly ordered to send a few soldiers to inspect the battlefield, and now on the floating soil dozens of meters in front of the pass, I don't know when there were dozens of corpses of water snakes, each water snake is more than half a zhang in length, and the body is very stout, they were all killed by arrows, and some were completely cut into several sections. It must have been the Bolling's men who deliberately put them on the shore. But that kind of sound was very similar to someone lurking in, which made Luo Yajun very nervous, and launched a series of counterattacks.

Not much was wasted in the arrow clusters, and most of the shots could be recycled, but the morale of the entire Luo Yajun had suffered another blow, and they would actually be scared like this by some water snakes.

Some of the water snakes were shot into several sections by the arrows, which shows the density of Luo Yajun's arrows, but unfortunately, these arrows did not fall on the body of the Boer army. Gillias looked at the corpse of the water snake brought by his subordinates, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

The soldiers on the front line looked at the dozens of water snake corpses that had been put together, and all of them were silent. Of course, they know that they have been fooled again, and they naturally don't feel good in their hearts. Their commander didn't know what to say, and perhaps it was useless to say anything. The morale of the troops will collapse at any time, and he can only barely maintain it now, and if there is a major change, these troops in Liu's customs will be completely dispersed. Several lower-ranking officers looked at Gillias in frustration, and Gillias said helplessly: "Disperse, leave the alert troops, and the rest go to sleep." ”

Gillias has begun to make excuses for himself in his heart, during the time that Amani is gone, although there are no particularly large casualties, and the total losses before and after are only a hundred, but the morale of the troops has been extremely low, and now Gillias hopes that the people of the Bol Command will fight them head-on, and it is better to be tied up here.

The soldiers of Luo Yajun scattered in frustration and fell asleep. Gillias listened to the snoring like a tide in the rear, and felt a little bad in his heart, the Boer army would definitely have to come back, and if the enemy was lurking outside, they must have heard the snoring of this magnitude. Luo Yajun was tortured like this, where is the enemy's opponent? Gillias instinctively wanted to call all these soldiers up, but if he really did this, the emotions of these soldiers were already on the verge of exploding, and he was afraid that the first person to die would be himself. He had already noticed the unfriendly eyes of several soldiers just now, and if certain conditions were suitable, these people would definitely not hesitate to cut off his head. He had no choice but to quietly aim at the escape route, and if it was not good, he immediately fled with his own soldiers.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, near the temporary tent in the northeast of the Sekisho, there was another sound similar to Xi Xi's chatter. With the experience just now, although Luo Yajun is still vigilant, there are not so many people who get up. The water snake is not poisonous, let it bite, or sleep. The surrounding sentinels weren't so alert either, and didn't bother to check unless it was a voice that appeared around them. After receiving the report, Gillias ordered to send a hundred soldiers to hunt down these water snakes, and these Huaixi soldiers who were woken up in their sleep were naturally very depressed and even wanted to sleep while walking. After they left the camp, they all began to grind the foreign work, squatting in the dark and dozing quietly. Anyway, if you can't catch it, it's not a big deal, and the water snake can't bite people.

However, there are some details that they don't notice.

"Hisss hiss!"

There was a Roya soldier in a daze, half-asleep, when he suddenly heard a slight sound in his ears, after the last water snake incident, he instinctively thought that this was the snake next to him spitting letters, he subconsciously opened his eyes and touched it, and suddenly touched a bulging thing.

It was definitely not a snake, the soldier's eyes widened, and a small spark instantly caught his eye. Drowsiness and dissatisfaction dissipated in an instant at this momentβ€”

Suddenly, there were several loud bangs in a row, which shook the silent Rorschach Pass again, and the dazzling firelight illuminated the entire night sky, and Luo Yajun's various frightened looks were all visible in the firelight. Someone shouted in his sleep: "The Boer army is coming! The Boer army is coming!" So the whole station fell into chaos again, and there were soldiers everywhere who were dressed indiscriminately, but they couldn't find where the clothes were, and Luo Yajun, who slept with clothes, didn't need to look for clothes, but he couldn't find his weapons. The soldiers, who slept in their clothes and weapons by their side, rushed out of the tent as quickly as possible, only to collide with the people running outside, groaning in pain. In the dark, I don't know how many people bumped into each other. Some sturdy soldiers, in a very bad mood and with a short temper, after being knocked down by the other party, get up and give the other party a knife and kill the other party. Anyway, no one can see in the dark. Similar things emerge one after another, and many Luo Yajun fell under their own knives inexplicably.

Gillias was once again alarmed, and hurriedly came out with his own soldiers to maintain order. He believed that this was still a small attack by the Boers, not a large-scale counteroffensive. The most urgent task at the moment is to calm down the panicked army as soon as possible. To this end, he took the strictest measures, and the soldiers who ran around were severely punished without exception. Sure enough, when Luo Yajun's panic gradually stabilized, things quickly became clear that this was indeed a small-scale attack by the Boer army. A total of five explosives packs were quietly sent in, and of course the place where the explosion occurred was also the place where the most soldiers slept, and the few sentries who had been on guard were all killed in their sleep. The final statistics show that more than 40 people were killed and more than 100 were injured.

The strange thing is that after the attack of the Boer army, the surviving Luo Yajun relaxed his mood, and the originally tense nerves were quietly relaxed. Most of the soldiers felt that the main force of the Boer army could not defeat them, and had to retreat, leaving only small troops to harass them here like blood-sucking mosquitoes. Obviously, there is no longer the strength to organize a large-scale attack on the Rorschach Pass.

Gillias's thinking will not be so simple, after so many days by Amani's side, he has already learned the tenacity and resilience of Bolling. It is absolutely impossible to say that the people of the Bol Territory would abandon the gate like this. But in such a situation, he didn't want to find fault with the details. Now that the entire army on the front line of the Guansho is looking forward to officially announcing that the Guansho has been permanently occupied by them, why should he bother to expose this beautiful lie?

"My lord, a man came from Loa City, saying that he was looking for you, and the commander of the Amani Legion asked him to come. ”

Just as Gillias was lying on his bed and about to close his eyes and rest for a while, his own soldiers suddenly entered the tent and brought a piece of news that made Gillias a little inexplicable.

"Legionnaire asked him to come over?" Gillias sat up with his arms propped up directly, "What about the others, my lord?"

"I don't know. A wry smile appeared on the face of the soldier: "My lord, go over and take a look." ”

Before the soldier could finish speaking, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a gray cloak walked in quickly, his eyes scanning the tent and finally landing on Amani.

"You're Mr. Amani's aide-de-camp? I've seen you before. The middle-aged man took off the hood on his head, "Is there any water, please give me a sip." ”

"Yes, what's the matter with Lord Amani? He's been in Loa City for two days and hasn't come back. ”

Gillias's pro-soldier handed him a clean water bladder, and the middle-aged man brought the bladder to his mouth and drank it in large gulps, and the whole tent could hear the sound of water pouring down his throat, and the water spilling from his mouth wet his beard. "Don't wait, Mr. Amani can't come back. ”

"Can't come back? Why?"

When Gillias first heard the news, he was directly stunned and didn't come back. It took a moment to react, and I stuttered a little when I spoke.

"Mr. Amani has been imprisoned by Lord Lord. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "I don't know the specific situation, by the time I knew, Mr. Amani was already in prison, I heard that the lord had just made Mr. Marquis a marquis, and then he was implicated because of the war you fought here." ”

Gillias couldn't help but be speechless, and his heart fell down in a hurry. I felt like my future was completely dark.

The reason why he has been fighting in a conservative way is to wait for Amani to come back and take charge of the overall situation, but as a result, what Amani said about "saving him soon" has now become a situation where he can never return, and the future of these troops in the Rorschach Pass is no longer clear to Gillias.

"Is there anything you can't wait until the battle is over?" Lord Lord, he-"

"This can't be helped, now Luo Ya Ling is like this, the lord is quite harsh in order to establish his authority. The middle-aged man wiped his mouth and put down the water bladder in his hand, "I have to go back quickly, by the way, Mr. Amani will be replaced by Sama, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, who should arrive at dawn." ”

"Sama?" Gillias watched the middle-aged man leave, and his impressions of Sama slowly appeared in his mind.

When it comes to personal force, Sama can be at the forefront of the entire Roya Territory, but he doesn't have any experience in leading troops to fight. In frontal combat, none of the three Gillias were Sama's opponents, but with his troops in battle, Gillias still learned a lot from Amani.

Taking a deep breath, Gillias suddenly became extremely tired of the war in front of him, he might have gone to the front line to supervise the soldiers, but now he had no motivation to do it anymore.

Gilias's soldiers looked around, and there were only two of them. So he whispered, "My lord, what are you going to do next?"

Gilias's face had not changed, and he could no longer be dead, and said helplessly: "Come on, come on, what else can we do? He won't let us die as soon as he comes, right?"

The pro-soldiers also heard the meaning of Gilias's words, so that this Sama, who does not know military affairs, will only fight a large-scale legion, and will only lose the original advantage of the front line a little bit, such a replacement, the most unlucky is actually the soldiers on the front line, even if Sama asks them to go to the front line to die, they have to go, Sama is not Gilias, even if ordinary soldiers want to rebel, they are not his opponents.

"Prepare something, or scrape together some money, at least let this new legion leader be kind to us. Gillias sighed lightly: "I'm going to sleep for a while, you don't come to call me, I will wake up when I hear the explosion." ”

"My lord, what if the enemy attacks, or if there is a water snake?" asked the soldier tentatively.

"Water snakes are water snakes, I can't care so much. Gillias rolled over, and soon there was an even snoring sound in the tent.

To Gilias's expectations, the Bol Commanders did not attack again that night, and it was not until noon the next day that the trusted commander arrived.

Sama also casually took a dozen soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, all of whom looked tall and big, not to mention Sama himself, Gilias, a disabled man who had lost his legs, stood in front of him, like a child, Sama's attitude towards the officers who came out to greet him seemed to be not bad, of course, it was only after receiving a few huge gifts that he showed a good face.

Even if he gave away more than half of his belongings, Gilias's heart was still up and down. Amani was inexplicably put in a prison cell, and as Amani's aide-de-camp, he didn't know what kind of impeachment he would face. Gillias was a little distraught, and followed many officers to the command post in Oman.

Sama unceremoniously sat in the seat of the comfortable army commander, and suddenly smiled heartily: "Uncle is here to deal with the Boers, and I don't care about the rest!" I want to talk about "Shadow of Exile" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
