On a dark night when the wind was high and suitable for murder and arson, the 1st Division quietly crossed the Outer Great Wall and rushed overnight in the direction of Kebi Nengshuai's tent. In addition to the conventional weapons, all of them also carried a large amount of arson materials and tools such as gun~powder, oil and spirits. For the soldiers of the Second Division, who often conduct long-distance training, a few dozen miles is nothing at all, and it is estimated that they can be completed in the middle of the night.

At the head is a team of special forces in black night suits, whose biggest task is to clear the Xianbei sentinels in the team's path. Their most distinctive feature is that they carry crossbows that have been used in many previous battles. The horse crossbow has the characteristics of being able to burst ~ fire, fast firing speed, and mute, which is especially suitable for special forces to use for sneak attacks. Another feature of them is that they are a mixed infantry squad.

Most of the special forces fought in the form of infantry, and few were used as cavalry. The reason why this operation was a mixed infantry and cavalry operation was to adapt to the characteristics of grassland operations. In order to adapt to the characteristics of grassland operations, Guan Xing specially assigned some war horses and cavalry with superb riding skills to cooperate with special forces.

It was not easy to transport these horses along the Great Wall, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and they could barely do it. When the special forces squad fights, it is still dominated by infantry, and the infantry will lurk in the grass in the direction of the Xianbei scouts, and when they approach, they will launch a silent sneak attack with horse crossbows.

Once the infantry failed to eliminate the Xianbei scouts in time, it was necessary to rely on the cavalry to pursue. In this kind of raid, the enemy is not allowed to escape alive and report the news, so it is important to prepare some cavalry as a pursuit of the fish that slips through the net.

The scout squad of the Xianbei people spread very widely, and within fifty miles around the tent, there were these cavalry coming and going, and they were always reconnoitring and guarding this area to prevent any enemy from attacking the tent.

But tonight, the Xianbei scout cavalry, who had been invincible in the past, seemed to have encountered natural enemies, and they were often shot by the special forces hiding in the grass before they could figure out what was going on.

At the beginning of the ugly hour (after one o'clock in the morning), the first brigade had approached less than five miles from the Kebi Neng Shuai's tent, and until now, they had not been discovered by the Xianbei people, thanks to the special forces who opened the way in front, and under the ultra-high-speed firing frequency of the horse crossbow, no Xianbei scout could escape.

However, now the Xianbei scouts have become more and more dense, even with the super combat effectiveness of the special forces, it is difficult to clear all the Xianbei cavalry in time, and when they arrive about three miles away from Kebi Nengshuai's tent, the soldiers of the first brigade were finally discovered, and in the Xianbei camp, the horn was blown and the fire gradually lit up.

The camp went from silence to bustle, interspersed with the neighing of horses and the clanging of weapons. Seeing that Xingzang was discovered, the commander of the 1st Brigade decisively gave the order to start the operation. With such a large force of several thousand people, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be detected even at night.

In particular, the Xianbei people have a large number of scout cavalry, and the speed of the cavalry is already very fast, which is very suitable for scout work, and when the density of scouts is high to a certain extent, it is almost inevitable that the first brigade will be discovered. Although the crossbows of the special forces can be fired in a row~ and the firing speed is also very fast, there are also shortcomings of insufficient power.

This disadvantage of the horse crossbow makes it difficult to shoot a person to death with a single arrow. The Xianbei people are generally wearing leather clothes, leather clothes have a certain protective effect on crossbow arrows, although the protective effect is very limited, but when encountering horse crossbows, crossbow arrows with poor penetration, sometimes they can save people's lives.

The reason why the First Brigade was violently~ exposed was that after a Xianbei scout was shot with an arrow, he was temporarily prevented from dying because the leather coat on his body removed part of the power of the crossbow arrow. The Xianbei scout was also a tough guy, gritting his teeth and galloping back to the camp on horseback, successfully reporting the news of the enemy's attack.

The first brigade has a plan for the violent ~ revealing whereabouts, in fact, it can approach to three miles away from the commander's tent before the violent ~ revealing the whereabouts is already a miracle, according to the original plan, it may be ten miles away ~ Lu whereabouts, can approach to three miles, in addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the special forces, as well as the good marching discipline and military literacy of the troops, it is also related to the negligence of the Xianbei people, of course, there is also a little bit of luck.

The Xianbei people's vigilance on the south side is much stronger than that in the north, which is also one of the reasons why the first brigade has an opportunity. After receiving the order from the brigade commander, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade quickly dispersed and lined up in a long snake formation. The length of the long horizontal serpent was almost the width of the Xianbei camp, that is, they set it on fire, and the length of the fire line was long enough to control the entire Xianbei camp.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people gathered here, and the size of this camp is equivalent to a small city, so although the first brigade has several thousand people, if they line up hand in hand, the length of the team is not enough to cross the entire Xianbei camp. So, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade were scattered, there was a certain distance between everyone, and each was responsible for setting fire at a short distance.

As the soldiers dispersed and stood in place, they could already faintly see in the distance, the first wave of Xianbei attacking party winding towards with torches in hand. A firework rushed into the sky with a sharp whistle and exploded a rose-red brilliant ~ brilliant spark, which was the ignition order issued by the headquarters of the 1st Brigade.

When the scattered soldiers saw the signal, they immediately ~ took off the clay pot or bamboo tube on their backs, poured out the contents of the pot, and walked as they poured, crossing the section of the road they were responsible for, and evenly sprinkled the contents of the pot into a straight line, which was the area of arson they were responsible for.

The things in the tank or bamboo tube are all kinds of fuel, including fire oil, spirits, and fire~ medicine, all of which are things that can be caught at a glance, and they are necessary medicine for killing people and setting fires. After the fuel was placed, the soldiers pulled out their ignitions, which were similar to the 10,000 matches of later generations, when in fact they were indeed 10,000 matches.

10,000 times matches are a few dollars worth of gadgets, Liu Hou bought and played when he was a child, he was deeply impressed, came to this era without lighters, he felt deeply inconvenient to use fire, so he asked the craftsman to make some according to the appearance of 10,000 matches in later generations to use for the people around him, and now this kind of ignition artifact has been popularized in the army, and even many people have used it.

This kind of 10,000-time match is not only easy to use, but also because it uses fire oil as fuel, it is not easy to be blown out by the wind, so it has a certain windproof function, and it is very advantageous to use in this environment. Most of the soldiers quickly completed the ignition work, and the sparks of 10,000 matches ignited the fuel on the ground, and the fuel was sprinkled in the form of threads, and the fire quickly spread, and the entire fuel line was ignited.

The fuel lines sprinkled by the adjacent soldiers were connected together, so the fire lines were quickly connected together, and in an instant, a huge fire dragon appeared on the grassland out of thin air. Then, driven by the north wind of hunting, it quickly spread towards the camp of the Xianbei people.
