Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Robbery of the Camp
The rear line is worry-free, Lin Xing can rest assured to deal with these barbarian troops in front of him, even though they are numerous, they are suppressed by Wen Zhong's name, and they dare not act rashly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Xing knew that they were waiting, or waiting for the news of the victory of the interception of the merchant troop carriers from the rear, as long as the support of the merchant army was cut off, these people alone would let him break his wings here no matter how much Wen Zhong used his troops like a god.
They are waiting, Lin Xing is also waiting, every day of delay he has a better chance of winning, if he can wait until all the people and horses in Jiangbei are transported, he can directly crush these flies around him.
However, it seems that the barbarian army does not have so much patience, and has decided to rob the camp tonight. This was not a hint from the Eye of Loyalty to Lin Xing, but the news that Lin Xing himself heard with his immortal sense.
In addition to listening, I also unexpectedly found two old acquaintances. One is the stupid and simple barbarian prince Tupai, Lin Xing always thought that this thing died in Jiamengguan, but he didn't expect to meet him here, and he escaped, not to mention the barbarian king's entrustment.
There is also a shaman who has just escaped, it seems that the status of this thing is not low, and the seven barbarian battalion commanders are respectful to him. Also, if his status is low, he can kill him just by escaping the crime.
The news brought by these two people prompted the seven battalion commanders to make up their minds to rob the camp tonight, not to take advantage of the current shortage of merchant troops to steal the camp, and it would be better to wait any longer.
Lin Xing felt that it didn't matter, after this group of merchant troops landed, the battalion was already close to 30,000 troops. The barbarian army will not send out the whole army to steal the camp, at most tens of thousands of people, if the number of people is equal, they can no longer hold it, even if they rush to the camp openly during the day.
What's more, I got the information in advance, so if I can't hold it anymore, I just find a crooked neck tree and hang it.
Although I feel that it does not matter, some necessary protection still needs to be done, the great man said: this is called despising the enemy strategically and attaching importance to the enemy tactically.
At midnight, the barbarian army quietly left the camp, and one by one the grass and horses were tied to the ring, so that the army would not make any sound. The right arm is wrapped with a strip of white cloth to make it easy to distinguish friend from foe in the dark.
"Hehe!" Lin Xing smiled when he saw their outfits: "Prepare a big meal for them, let these fellows taste it!"
"Yes!" someone turned away, dressed in barbarian armor, and the strip of white cloth on his right arm looked so dazzling in the moonlight.
There is a complete set of barbarian armor in the Vatu Quartermaster Depot, which is used here by Lin Xing. Wearing the clothes of devils and beating devils, this kind of routine that has been used in later generations may have a miraculous effect here.
The barbarian soldiers attacked the merchant camp in three ways, and there were two battalions of men and horses on each road, which was almost overwhelming. There were three of his own camps, and the remaining defenders in each place were less than 5,000.
As the defender of the Xiakou stronghold, Vatu relied on his familiarity with the terrain to lead the men and horses all the way around to approach his own camp...... How awkward this is, but there is nothing wrong with it, this camp was originally his, and now it is used by Lin Xing to live temporarily, and he doesn't even bother to change the layout, it is still the same.
It used to be a big hole, but now it's being filled, and there must be a trap underneath. Vatu carefully identified the terrain, he had been stationed here for more than three years, and he knew everything about the grass and trees here, even if it was just a little change, he would cautiously avoid it.
Although the progress was slower, it was better to be safe, and even then it landed a few times and lost hundreds of people.
"Poof!" another soldier fell into the trap and was pierced by a bamboo stick buried in the ground, and it seemed that he would not survive.
"How many traps has this Wen Zhong dug?" Vatu couldn't help cursing in his heart, he was more familiar with the terrain here, and the other two people could imagine.
Seeing that it was about to get close to the camp, the mechanism was even denser, and almost every two steps a soldier would die because of touching the mechanism, and this road was almost filled with human lives.
Vatu even wondered if Wen Zhong had been digging pits, filling them up, and digging them again for a day, otherwise how could there be so many more organs in just one day?
Fortunately, he has already arrived at the camp, this Wen Zhong will not set up a mechanism in the camp, right? Vatu breathed a sigh of relief, although the road was a bit bumpy, but fortunately, the number of people was not too bad, and it did not alarm the merchant army, and on the whole, this stealing camp was quite successful.
"Boys, rush me! hahahaha...... Uh-uh" Vatu just laughed, and suddenly torches lit up all around, and thousands of merchant archers appeared in the fence of the camp, and the bows were drawn one by one, and the bright arrows glistened in the firelight.
"Release!" With an order, a thousand people fired a volley, a row of arrows rained over, and the barbarians in front fell one piece. While the thousand men drew their arrows, the archers in the back row filled the time and harvested the lives of about a few thousand barbarians three times.
"Charge!" Vatu knew that the archers could only attack from afar, and at such a close distance, as long as they rushed to the front of them with all their might, they would be useless.
"Kill!" Vatu led his subordinates to brave the rain of arrows and just rushed out of the fence, suddenly rushed out of the camp, rushed to the archers and wheeled the weapons in their hands, and killed the merchant archers as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.
"Which battalion commander's subordinate are you?" Vatu couldn't help but be excited when he saw the way these people were dressed. It should be his own person, the armor is the unified standard of the Seven Kingdoms, and there is a strip of white cloth on his right arm.
"We are the men of the battalion commander Geqi, the west gate has been breached by us, and the battalion commander is rushing to the east gate to support!" the leader responded to Vatu's shout, and kicked the corpse of the merchant army twice.
Vatu did not doubt him, and was a little disappointed when he heard that Ximen had broken his heart, it seemed that he was robbed of the first credit by Geqi this time, and when he saw these people turn around and run towards the east gate, he shouted in a little hurry: "The general is slow, it is better for us to join forces together, and there will be some care on the road!"
"Isn't the battalion commander Vatu afraid that we will rob you of your credit?" the leader laughed and said, "It's okay!
After saying that, the group stopped, waiting for Vatu to break through the fence and join them.
"Go and make out with our brothers, too!" said the leader, walking towards Vatu, the smile on his face even brighter, and it made people feel a sense of closeness from the bottom of their hearts.
"Stop!" Although the man's smile was kind, it disgusted Vatu. He is the commander of a battalion, and his subordinates are in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, seeing that this person is only a governor at most, he actually wants to be close to himself, and he is most disgusted by this kind of disrespectful man Vatu.
"Huh?" The leader was stunned for a moment, looked around and saw no one else, only to know that he was talking about himself: "Lord Vatu is so unreasonable, it is you who say that you want to join forces, and it is you who says that you want to be close.
As he spoke, his face sank: "That's it, don't delay Lord Vatu's promotion and fortune!" As he spoke, his voice suddenly raised an octave: "You rabbits, why are you waiting if you don't do anything?"
Vatu didn't understand what he meant, but he quickly understood! The friendly soldier who had been smiling and kind just now suddenly turned his face and raised his weapon directly at the brother troops.
Vatu was horrified and shouted, "It's against you!"
"That's right! We are just the opposite, and our Geqi battalion commander is also the opposite, and we have already taken refuge in Master Wen Zhong, otherwise how do you think we know that you will steal the camp tonight!"
"Then you still kill these archers?" Vatu pointed at the merchant archers who had just been cut to the ground, and suddenly froze, and the dead bodies that were lying on the ground stood up one by one, grabbed the weapons around them and killed their subordinates.
