Chapter 207: Take the head of the general

Night raids are a common method on the battlefield, bringing high returns but also high risks.

Jiang Chen took ten good fighters and quietly approached the camp of the Northern Yan people by night, at this time the other party was bounded by bonfires, and dozens of people were surrounded in front of each bonfire, and a certain distance was maintained between the bonfires and the bonfires.

This was done to prevent further falling rocks overhead, to minimize casualties, and to prevent a repeat of previous miserabs, they also built temporary shelters with stones on the ground to withstand some of the attacks.

Seeing these practices of the Beiyan people, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is indeed a powerful and intelligent opponent, and the overall quality of the Beiyan soldiers is higher than that of the Daqian soldiers.

After these years of internal turmoil in Daqian, the military equipment was slack, the training was insufficient, and many famous generals lay on the merit book all day long, greedy for pleasure, and did not want to forge ahead, which led to the fundamental reason why this war with Beiyan would always be pressed and beaten by the other party.

At present, among the five major combat forces possessed by the entire cadres, the corruption situation in the town-border army is the most serious, and there are cases of vacant quotas and deducted military salaries in various localities, and all kinds of cases of military discipline corruption have emerged one after another, and the quality of the soldiers is even more uneven.

Huang Jinjun is responsible for defending the royal capital, and the treatment they receive is the best among the five combat forces, after all, they represent the face of the imperial court, and they also shoulder the most important responsibilities, but Huang Jinjun has been stationed in the inner city all the year round, and has not carried out actual combat for decades, and if they really want to be pulled to the northern battlefield, their performance may not be stronger than that of the town border army.

Next, let's talk about the Qishan Iron Cavalry and the Tianfeng Battalion, these two forces are the only ones that can compete with Beiyan in terms of overall combat strength and quality, but they have their own problems that cannot be ignored.

Qishan has suffered a lot of turmoil in recent years, and it has not been trusted by the imperial court, even if it has the intention to kill the enemy, it is inevitable that there will be many constraints, and there is no way to fully exert its true strength and value.

However, the situation of the Tianfeng Camp is the opposite of that of Qishan, they are deeply trusted by the imperial court, and they can always get extra tolerance and protection, but the last confrontation incident in Qishan shows that they have been infiltrated by the forces of the Xuanyan Mansion who rebelled against the imperial court, and it is not clear what their true position is.

In addition to these four major forces, the remaining forces cannot even be easily mentioned by name, because many years ago, they were involved in a very sensitive political crisis, and now they are still under house arrest, and they cannot be thrown into the battlefield at all.

In this way, the military strength of the great cadres has really reached a situation where it is too young to catch up and is embarrassed to be of great use.

After secretly observing the enemy's situation, Jiang Chen said to his subordinates: "Do you see that Beiyan general who is wearing silver armor and a helmet and is eating meat?" ”

"Yes, we're staring!"

"Master Jiang, I still have three arrows, let me give him a good time!"

One of the soldiers with a longbow said confidently.

Jiang Chen visually measured the distance and said to him: "The distance is too far, even if your bow can shoot accurately, the strength will be insufficient when it flies to the target, not to mention that he is still wearing a helmet, so there is little chance of success." ”

"So what to do?"

The crowd scratched their heads, the question seemed tricky, and there was no obscuration at any distance beyond that, and it would have been easily exposed if they had touched it directly.

But if you don't close this distance, you can't kill that Beiyan general anyway, how can this be good?

After observing the surrounding terrain, Jiang Chen told the soldier with a longbow on his back, "Do you see the hillside over there?" You climb up with two men and look for an opportunity to shoot at the enemy who is facing away from you, and the three arrows don't try to kill many people, so as to confuse them. ”

"When the arrows are finished, they continue to pick up stones and throw them, so that they may mistakenly think that they have been attacked as violently as before."

"Yes, Master Jiang!"

Under Jiang Chen's arrangement, the three of them quietly began to climb to the designated position, while the remaining seven people were arranged on the other side of the hill, and their task was the same, to throw stones at the Northern Yan people.

Although everyone felt a little puzzled by such a task, with the prestige that Jiang Chen had established in less than a day, it was enough for them to follow it with confidence.

Jiang Chen himself stayed quietly in place, and there was an extra spear with cold light in his hand.

These Northern Yan people don't seem to plan to attack again tonight, and they also know very well that the night in the north is freezing cold, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, and if you don't pay attention, you may fall off the cliff.

In such an environment, they could only choose to wait for dawn before attacking the Nanling Mountain Road in one go, but Jiang Chen was one step ahead of them in action.

"Whoosh!"

After a long time of secretly accumulating power, a feathered arrow finally shot down from the western hillside, and at the same time, a Northern Yan soldier who was munching on barbecue meat was pierced through the back of the head.

He didn't understand how he died.

Immediately after, the second and third arrows followed, and the Northern Yan people were taken by surprise, and they hurriedly threw away the wine and meat in their hands, and looked for the closest stone walls that had been built up, so as to avoid the attack of bows and arrows.

However, as the shouts of killing sounded, it was no longer feathered arrows that continued to fall on their heads, but stones of various sizes, but all in all they were not as lethal as the boulders that were large enough to smash people into flesh.

The stones hit the stone wall one after another, and the Beiyan people gradually came back to their senses, why did it sound like this movement was not very big, and it seemed that few people were shouting on the hillside?

The former general of the Northern Yan Army heard the truth in it, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "The big thieves are playing tricks, don't be deceived by them, I expected that they would have no feather arrows to use for a long time, so they will smash these small stones to bluff!" ”

"Brothers, stand up for me, rush to the slopes on both sides and give me the corpses of the enemy!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sudden strong wind howling in his ears, and a slender gray object flew in front of him, hitting the general's chest.

When the people around reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to check, their general's chest was pierced through a bloody hole by this spear, and due to the amazing strength, this spear even pierced the bodies of the other two Northern Yan soldiers after it broke out.

The people on the slopes on both sides of the hill couldn't help but cheer when they saw this scene like a divine skill, they didn't expect Lord Jiang to shoot the enemy generals with such a skillful means!
