Volume 3 Fighting for the Country Chapter 102 Night Attack
When Chen Zuyi passed through the first line with two battalions of men and horses and his escort, it was getting late. They walked ten miles on guard, until it was dark, and then they set up camp. None of the five teams of spies sent out found anything out of the ordinary, which was a bit of a surprise to him.
Chen Zuyi sent double the number of people on duty at night, and he always had a sense of crisis in his heart. This feeling had saved him many times on the battlefield, and he could guess that it was definitely the dead soldier of the Fifth Prince. But where they will do it, he really can't predict.
Yin has just passed the beginning of the year, and it is at the time when people are most sleepy. The soldiers on duty who had already changed shifts began to doze off like chickens pecking rice.
At this moment, a small sound sounded in the woods not far away, and a dark shadow emerged from under the dead leaves. They were the dead soldiers sent by the fifth prince, and they were all hidden under the rotting leaves in the woods. Although the scouts of Chen Zuyi's faction were all elite soldiers, they were not so professional, they just checked it roughly, and then went to other places, and it was strange to find this group of ground rats.
The two hundred black shadows divided into two groups of men and horses, and touched them from both sides of Chen Zuyi's camp. There were two squads on the perimeter guard, and they were divided into eight groups around the camp, and there were two squads patrolling back and forth in the camp.
Li Changfeng, the commander of the Outer Guard B31 Army, raised his lowered head sharply and looked vigilantly into the darkness. Just now he clearly heard a strange noise, and looked at his companions around him, two of them were also dozing off, and the other nine were scanning the surroundings with menacing eyes.
"There seems to be movement!" Li Changfeng said in a low voice.
"No, Captain, did you hear me wrong?" One of them glanced around and looked at the Captain in confusion. The two dozing off quickly woke up, and the others looked more vigilantly into the darkness.
"Extinguish the torches! Disperse your positions! Captain Li ordered without hesitation.
They had a total of five torches here, which were quickly thrown to the ground by the five men and trampled on, just the moment the torches were extinguished.
Boom! Boom! Boom......
The sound of a bowstring came from the darkness, and countless black shadows broke through the air.
"Not good! Raid...... Ahh He couldn't make a sound for a sharp pain in his body, and listening to the screams of the brothers around him, it is estimated that they are all finished, I hope the brothers in the camp behind him can hear their screams just now, and they all complain that they are too lax! Thinking of this, he was plunged into boundless darkness before his eyes.
"Enemy attack!"
When a large number of big black-clothed men on both sides rushed to the edge of the camp, the soldiers patrolling the camp noticed that something was wrong and shouted a warning. Immediately, two squads attacked the men in black who attacked from both sides.
As soon as they made contact, more than a dozen people fell, and it turned out that the other party actually brought a short crossbow in addition to a longbow, this kind of short crossbow only had a glowing rod and iron arrow, and the power was extremely great within ten steps, and the accuracy of ten steps was surprisingly poor. Therefore, the Black Shark Army, which approached first, fell into blood mold, and the remaining team members quickly formed an iron bucket formation and fought with the attackers.
The number of patrols on the Black Shark Army's side was limited, and it was impossible to resist the hundreds of people on the other side for a while. Some of the people in black had quickly ignited the fire in their hands and threw them into the tents in the camp.
In the era of cold weapons, the most feared thing is to be suddenly attacked at night, and as long as there is the slightest abnormality in some low-quality troops, there may be a terrible bombing of the camp, which is also called camp roar. At that time, no matter how many enemies there were, the officers and soldiers who woke up in their sleep would only run away and have no intention of fighting again. In history, there are many cases of camps being bombed because of night attacks, and once the bombing of the camp occurs, the army will collapse!
The men in black obviously had this idea, but to their surprise, this team of more than 1,000 people did not bomb the camp, but more and more people rushed out of the tents and killed them in their direction.
Chen Zuyi took off his bright silver armor and was resting in the big tent in soft armor. Suddenly woke up by a burst of tearing sound outside the tent, and at this time, Li Yuanliang and Song Hai also rushed into a big tent with their guards. Their duty of the guards is to keep the manager safe, and everything else is secondary.
"What's going on out there?"
"Hundreds of people have rushed over from the east and west directions, and the small half tent has already been lit!" Songhai said succinctly.
"Let's go! Get out! After Chen Zuyi finished speaking, he strode out of the big tent, and he had confidence in this army. Although it was a night attack, if the other party did not have three or five thousand people, they would not be able to help them at all.
By the time he got out of the tent, the attacking group of men in black had basically been surrounded, and a few men in black were wandering around the camp to create chaos, and many soldiers had gathered behind them.
"Looking at it this way, there are only more than 200 people on the other side, and the drills of the two battalions of Peixin and Datu are not enough, and we must increase the drills against night attacks in the future!" This was the first thing Chen Zuyi said after seeing the situation in the camp.
"Kill!!" At this moment, more than a dozen people in black who were being chased and had almost no way to escape, saw Chen Zuyi who was surrounded by more than a dozen people, and immediately pounced on him in the same frame, they could see that this was the main master, the final day mark this time.
"A bunch of clowns! Kill! Chen Zuyi pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and greeted the dozen black-clothed people with the guards beside him. In just a few rounds, the opponents were all knocked down like chopping vegetables and melons, and they only had two minor injuries, and no one died.
It turned out that at the moment when Chen Zuyi led them out, these guards formed a group of three people, forming the smallest three-talent formation. The man in black rushed over to the top of the house, if there were casualties, it would be really abnormal!
Seeing that the black-clothed men who attacked this time had been completely surrounded, three black-clothed people suddenly flashed out of the shadows, and rushed towards Chen Zuyi like lightning, holding short blades as black as ink in their hands. The soldiers who were killing on the periphery were only concerned about besieging the enemy in front of them, and they didn't notice anything strange about their bodies.
The three of them attacked in a zigzag shape, and the guards only had time to block Chen Zuyi with their own bodies. A black knife flashed, and the five guards fell to the ground with their necks clutched, and the three of them killed without pause.
Chen Zuyi felt a chill in his heart, looking at the man in black who was only two steps away from him, and others felt the breath of death for the first time. Just as he raised his hand to slash the Hundred Refining Horizontal Knife, two figures came from both sides of him to block in front of him. A burly anomaly, carrying a cavalry waist knife in his hand, this person is Songhai. The other person holding a horizontal knife was Li Yuanliang.
Song Hai and Li Yuanliang's martial arts are much stronger than Chen Zuyi's half-ass, at this time, the two of them and the three men in black are fighting vigorously, and at first glance they are on par. But from Chen Zuyi's eyes, it can still be seen that the two of them are only defending more and attacking less at this time, and they should not last long.
"Iron Bucket Array!" Chen Zuyi let out a loud shout, and he picked up the iron spear of a guard at his feet.
When the remaining eight guards in him heard the gang leader's order, they immediately automatically gathered into a formation, and Chen Zuyi took a step back to join them.
"Guns!"
The guards threw down the long knives in their hands one after another, drew out the two spears on their backs and spliced them together, and for a moment the iron bucket array was like a large hedgehog ship.
"Forward!"
The iron bucket array slowly pressed towards the three people in front, and Song Hai and Li Yuanliang tried their best to split the enemy's blades, and one dodged and retreated to both sides of the iron bucket array.
"Thorn!"
Swish! In front of the three people, there were four iron spears that stabbed out like lightning, and the three of them blocked the stabbing iron spears with short blades in their hands. When the second stab was made at the trio, two of them stepped forward and swung their outstretched iron spears in either direction, leaving a gap in between. The third person jumped high and pounced on Chen Zuyi, who was still retracting the iron spear.
Chen Zuyi's eyes shrank suddenly, seeing that the spear could not be withdrawn, he reflexively threw away the spear in his hand. From the side of his waist, he took out a short knife that usually cuts barbecue, and held his right hand on the top of his head with his intuition.
Clang! Sparks splashed everywhere, and the weight of the black-clothed man's entire body pressed on this knife, although Chen Zuyi blocked the blow, he held this force, and held the short knife diagonally against his arm. There was a sound of tooth-aching blades rubbing, and the short blade of the man in black slashed along the short blade and slashed at his arm.
Chen Zuyi felt a sharp pain, he panicked in his heart, and instinctively kicked out. The man in black also reacted quickly, his body just fell to the ground, and he didn't have time to dodge backwards, so he had to raise his left leg to block the kick to the lower body.
"Shameless!" A delicate cry came out of the mouth of the man in black, and his short blade slashed again.
His fight with the man in black was only between breaths, and the guards didn't react yet. When the sound of the black man screaming, the guards who were behind quickly turned their heads, and four spears stabbed at them, so that the man in black had to withdraw the knife he had drawn and quickly retreated.
"Retreat!"
The black-clothed man who withdrew let out a coquettish shout, and before everyone could react, he quickly retreated to the dark with the other two.
"Don't chase!"
Chen Zuyi stopped the guards who wanted to chase out Songhai and Li Yuanliang, now is the darkest moment, the other party is wearing black clothes, and it is easy to be killed by the other party.
The guards once again surrounded Chen Zuyi in the middle, and the battle on both sides of the camp was nearing the end, and all the men in black who had sneaked up on the attack were left in the camp except for the three who retreated. The soldiers were mending their knives one by one and collecting the spoils of war. This is the old tradition of their Black Shark Army, and after their experience, valuable things will not remain there.
"Boss, how's your injury?" Songhai came to Chen Zuyi's side and helped him check the wound on his arm.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of green, but fortunately I wore the gold silk soft armor I got from that dead ghost in Bao Hong! Otherwise, I'm afraid this arm will be cut off! ”
Song Hai looked at Chen Zuyi's arm, the clothes on the outside were cut, revealing the yellow and silver sleeves inside, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Tsk! Tut! This is worthy of beating down the golden family of Nuodi, and there are really a few good treasures! Then he looked at the cut meat on Chen Zuyi's waist, "That thing was also obtained from Bao Hong?" ”
Chen Zuyi smiled, untied the sheath from his waist, and threw it to Songhai, "Well, at that time, it was in the same box, and it was a pity to see that it was inlaid with gems on the sheath and threw it, so it has always been used as a meat cleaver." Now it seems that it is still a magic weapon, I will send it to you with a waste! ”
Song Hai grabbed the short knife with the colorful gemstone scabbard, took it out and looked at it, and then threw it back to Chen Zuyi, "Don't, I'm not used to using such a small knife, if you meet Daming's Hundred Refining Waist Knife, just remember to keep it for me, I'm still used to using them!" ”
Chen Zuyi caught it and tied it casually around his waist, "Don't forget it, anyway, I'm used to cutting meat with it!" ”
