Chapter Thirty-Nine: It's an Old Trick

Helplessly, the spring breeze goes, leaving the red dust and residual flowers.

The most is a year to spend the benefits, and the stupid people do not make the wind Yasong.

In the courtyard, the eyebrows of the trees on the moon, and the dark waves are frequently transmitted.

Fang knows the source of his sadness, but this word has become empty.

Before the frontal attack, it is not a problem to engage in a small sneak attack, as long as at the moment of the decisive battle on the second day, there are still bandits in the barbarian village to come out to fight. As for how many, sorry, this is not in the ranks of the calculations.

Xiao Xu was a member of the third squad of the first squadron of the guard, and the third squad received an order to capture an earthen house west of Manniu Village and hold it for ten minutes. There is nothing special about this earthen embryo house, but because it is next to a passage connecting the front and back of Manniu Village. At night, most of the bandits in Manniuzhai rest in the back village, and only a small number of bandits patrol in the front village.

Xiao Xu followed behind the squad leader Zou Guang, easily crossed the fence gate of Manniu Village, sneaked on the ground, happily bypassed a small group of bandit patrols, and successfully found the target.

There were no bandits guarding the target, so the third team was able to gain control of the trail without incident. They only had to wait until the 3rd Squadron, which was in charge of attacking the Hall, had set fire to the Hall of Justice and had sniped the bandits for ten minutes.

But at this moment, a group of four bandit patrol teams suddenly appeared from the back village of Manniu Village, and the route they took happened to be the path occupied by Xiao Xu's team, and there was no obstacle in front of the earthen embryo house to avoid, and the situation of the third team was already on the verge of being exposed.

Zou Guang immediately made a decision and ordered the four soldiers to prepare for the spurt, while the remaining five guards aimed their arrows at the four bandits. Then, Zou Guang ordered everyone to wait quietly for the bandits to approach.

Slowly, Xiao Xu could even see the other party's face clearly, at this time Zou Guang's attack order had been issued, Xiao Xu and the other three guards rushed straight to the four bandits like a tiger descending the mountain, and the five soldiers with bows and arrows shot arrows at the torch in their hands before Xiao Xu and the other four soldiers in charge of the stab burst out, and the torch fell from the hands of the thieves who were in pain in response to the sound of the bowstring, and the fire was extinguished instantly. It's too late, it's too soon. Xiao Xu and the other four soldiers in charge of the spurt plunged the short dagger in their right hand into the thief's stomach like a 100-meter sprint, while their left hand tightly covered the bandit's mouth, so that they could not make any sound.

After a few moments of struggle, the bandits were completely dead, but the sound they made when they were shot by the archers wounded the torch-wielding hand had already alarmed the bandits. Torches were lit one after another, and patrolling bandits were coming this way. The situation of the third squad is precarious.

"Move the bodies of the four bandits to the trail, all piled up, and everyone is ready to fight". Zou Guang immediately made a decision and immediately ordered his subordinates.

Piling up the corpses of the bandits on the side of the road can hinder the backwall bandits to a certain extent. In this way, on this small road that is only three wide, Zou Guang only needs to arrange two archers and a long knife hand to block the attack of the Houzhai bandits.

The guards participated in archery and sword training every day, and they were able to convert between archers and long knife hands, which was the best part of the Le'an army.

With this transformation of the bull fork, Zou Guang was very sure that he would be able to hold this throat until the clarion call for the withdrawal of troops was remembered.

And according to the time calculation, the guards in charge of the night attack should all be in place at this moment, even if Zou Guang's team attracts the attention of the bandits, but this will not only not destroy the plan, but can make tonight's night attack a bumper harvest. The more chaotic the situation, the greater the gain.

While they were thinking about it, a patrol of the bandits was already less than a few meters away from them, but because Zou Guang ordered all his men to turn sideways on the path, with the help of the earthen wall, the bandits did not find out. However, the footsteps of the bandit patrol could be heard that they were becoming more and more cautious.

The aura of the two parties gradually became heavy, and Zou Guang decided to strike first and deal with this patrol bandit first.

After a long time, the number of bandits who rushed to hear the sound will gradually increase, and it will be a little difficult to solve the battle easily.

As soon as Zou Guang waved his hand, two soldiers immediately came out of the crowd, bypassing the earthen embryo house and heading straight for the bandit patrol.

The two soldiers, armed with daggers at their sides, used the force of their swift running impact to plunge their knives into the chests of the two bandits, and then immediately retreated. The bodies of the two bandits slowly fell, and the other two surviving bandits immediately retreated, shouting at the same time: "Enemy attack." ”

"Kill them all." Zou Guang ordered, and when even three archers shot the arrows in their hands, the voices of the two bandits stopped abruptly, and each of them had a trembling feather arrow stuck in their necks, and they all sealed their throats with an arrow.

Without Zou Guang's orders, Xiao Xu and the other three soldiers immediately ran forward to move the bodies of the four bandits, and piled them together with the bodies of the previous four bandits, forming a small barrier barrier, which was equivalent to giving the soldiers who had been transformed into archers a place to rely on, and a place to borrow when shooting.

As soon as he finished doing this, the other side of the cottage suddenly caught fire. The entire Manniu Village suddenly boiled like ants on a hot pot.

One by one, the thieves got up from the bed in a panic, and even the clothes were put on and rushed out with weapons, and they all found that the front village was on fire, and immediately rushed to the side of the trail, but these poor babies who were prepared were mercilessly shot by the third squad at the trail, except for leaving a corpse on the ground, the gods and horses were all wooden.

In the front village of Manniu Village, the two hundred bandits who were responsible for guarding at night were all ruthlessly attacked and killed by the guards when they were panicking to fight the fire.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the bandits left a trail of corpses, about sixty or so, who had been shot with bows and arrows by the guards. With the increase in numbers, the momentum of the bandits increased again, and the arrows of the guards were basically exhausted, and the next battle could only be hand-to-hand combat.

Zou Guang clenched the spear, and the battle intent in his heart soared. Men in troubled times either stealthily live as a coward, or fight to make a name for themselves, there is no doubt that Zou Guang belongs to the latter.

"All take two steps back, divide into three sections, when the enemy jumps over, immediately rush up and kill them, Xiao Xu, you and I are ready to support at any time" Zou Guang calmly issued an order.

The whole team immediately divided into three teams according to Zou Guang's order, and the weapons in their hands were locked on the pile of corpses nearly half a meter high, and as long as there were bandits, they would be killed immediately.

In the back village, in a very ordinary adobe house, a lamp illuminates the whole room, and judging by the figure illuminated by the lamp, the owner of this room is getting dressed.
