In the pre-dawn night, the vision was still hazy, and piles of bonfire remnants remained around the Shunjun camp.

Near dawn, it was the most exhausting time for these Shun army elite cavalry who had been running for several days, and many of the ambush soldiers were killed in their sleep after holding out all night, even the rangers, who were already confused and unresponsive.

As for the soldiers who were on duty on the outskirts of the camp, almost all of them were napping. After all, if you don't get some sleep quickly, the sky will be dawn, how could the Ming army come to attack at such a time?

In addition, the entire Shunjun camp, except for the neighing and nasal sounds of the war horses in the west from time to time, and the sound of insects and crows in the fields that had been abandoned for many years, was silent.

At this time, the eastern sky had faded to darkness and had a slight light, and the soldiers in the Shun army began to get up one after another, and there was a soft conversation in the camp.

The soldiers came out of their tents and added firewood to the dying bonfire, many of which were not yet dry, and when they burned, they emitted a choking smell of white smoke, which looked very strange against the dark night and the light of the fire.

After adding firewood and grass, the soldiers formed groups of three or five, yawning and carrying buckets to fetch water, and they had to boil hot water before dawn.

The cavalry marched in a hurry, and naturally it was easy to carry light weight and high-calorie rice and a small amount of jerky, which could be eaten as long as it was soaked in water. When necessary, you don't even need to boil hot water.

The soldiers who walked in the front were half-open, carrying buckets and walking slowly and leisurely to the edge of the canal, and suddenly they seemed to hear the rumbling sound and the neighing of the war horses one after another.

However, the camp by the canal obscured their view, and they couldn't see the reflection of the silver-white chain mail, thinking that something was glowing in the camp.

"Is there something going on in Texas?" One of the soldiers wiped his eyes, then skillfully popped out a large eye feces stuck to his fingers, turned his head to look at his companion on the side, and asked:

"Who is getting up so early, this is not eating, and is going to chase the Ming army of the dog day?"

"Whatever, let's continue to fetch water, it's better to catch up early, run a few more days, I'm going to be fucking tired." The other soldier shook his head and grumbled.

They never thought that the Ming army would sneak attack at this time, and subconsciously thought that it was their own people who rode out of the camp, so they made a rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

Although these people are soldiers, they are all veterans of the army, so they can naturally hear the sound of war horses galloping and horses' hooves stomping on the ground, but they are still confused for a while.

After all, there is nothing strange about going out of the camp to pursue at this time, but it is a normal thing. I just don't know which battalion leader is so unlucky, and he has to go on a mission before dawn.

However, when a few people continued to walk a few steps forward, a shout suddenly came from the outside of the camp in the west, and then there were a few loud noises.

As soon as a few people heard this, their originally chaotic brains suddenly sobered up, and they directly threw down the barrel and pulled out the knife on their waists. They had a lot of experience in combat, and when they heard it, they knew it was the sound of a bow vibrating.

Not only them, but also the soldiers who had just been slowly carrying buckets to draw water, also quickly threw down the barrels, rushed to the side, they gathered on a ridge, stood on tiptoe and looked to the northwest, so that they could see the situation of the camp to the west.

However, the scene in front of them was beyond everyone's expectations, it was not someone riding out of the camp at all, but someone was coming to steal the camp.

An irregular line composed of countless silver-white points of light appeared in front of their eyes, constantly undulating and shaking, getting bigger and bigger, and several dark sentry scouts on the perimeter on guard hurriedly ran back, but all of them were shot to the ground by the whistling arrows.

"Yes...... Yes, someone has stolen the camp! A sudden exclamation exploded in the originally calm Shunjun camp, followed by countless panicked shouts.

In an instant, the entire Shunjun camp was in a commotion, and in the dense tents, countless soldiers hurriedly got up, sticking out their heads with sleepy eyes, and looked around.

At the same time, they all took up their weapons almost instinctively and put on their armor. No matter what happens, there's nothing wrong with putting on armor first on the battlefield.

Not all of those soldiers hurriedly ran back, they had been in battle for a long time, they were experienced, and they knew that someone had to stop the menacing Ming army at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

A dozen or so soldiers did not have time to put on their armor, so they immediately ran to the horse stakes on the edge of the camp behind them. In the face of the cavalry, they naturally would not rush directly with just a sword.

At this time, the Ming army had rushed to the west camp less than two hundred paces, brand new vests, chain mail, sharp blades reflecting the starlight, particularly dazzling in the dark, like a ghost suddenly emerging from the plains.

Although there were only more than 200 horsemen, and after the cavalry, there were only 300 spearmen, but from the direction of the camp, there were suddenly patches of dense points of light that were constantly undulating and jumping out of the darkness, how terrifying!

Most of the more than 100 Shun soldiers guarding the war horses in the west camp had been awakened at this time, and several officers were driving away the soldiers with sticks, and the light outside the camp was getting closer and louder, and the sound of horses' hooves was also rumbling.

The sudden night attack, the surrounding area was still dark, and the soldiers knocked down the fire plate in a panic, the two tents instantly ignited a raging fire, the frightened war horses roared more and more frantically, and the camp west of the Shun army was already in chaos.

At this time, not to mention the soldiers who had just woken up and had not yet reacted, it was the Shun soldiers on duty, whose faces were full of panic and confusion on their faces reflected by the firelight.

A moment later, the glowing irregular line came to the edge of the camp, and the first thing that emerged from the darkness was a dense rain of arrows, indiscriminately shooting the Shun soldiers who were guarding the edge of the camp.

The soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground with a wail, and the soldiers who were not shot were caught off guard and hurriedly ran back, and the war horses that were stabbed by the arrows were neighing and running around the camp.

Xue Lao Er took the lead, led two hundred cavalry, and fiercely rushed into the camp of the Shun army, and several Shun cavalry wanted to rush up to block it, but they were drowned in the neighing and howling Ming cavalry group in an instant.

On the outside of the camp, those soldiers of the Shun army who had just put on a layer of armor, or only wore a piece of cotton armor, were quickly cut down by the Ming cavalry outside the tent, and the screams were endless, and the camp was full of noise.

At the same time, on the side of the canal, the reins of countless war horses were cut off, and these uncontrolled war horses, which were startled by the sound of muskets, instantly went berserk, and were driven eastward by nearly a hundred cavalry, and ruthlessly rushed into the camp of the Shun army full of tents.
