Pan Yang was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep after treatment, and another guard saw Gao Yuan coming to visit, struggling to get up, and asked him to walk a few steps and hold down.

"I asked the doctor, you are a skin injury, you will be fine after a few days of rest, Inspector Pan is heavier, don't worry, there is good medicine to recuperate, you will recover." ”

Gao Yuan laid out the quilt for Pan Yang, lay on the bed next to him, and the guards reported in a low voice: "The inspector is to cover me, and when he was broken, he was hit by an arrow, and the enemy scout team had dozens of people, and they escaped to tell fortunes, but unfortunately those two brothers are afraid that they will not be able to come back." ”

"When the scouts meet, they all want to catch them alive, they won't kill people easily, they still have life, and we'll see tomorrow. ”

Gao Yuan looked at the top of the tent and whispered to comfort the guards.

The enemy is nowhere to be seen, the students are looking for war everywhere, eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but there are cruel laws in war, victory must be paid for life and blood, the two guards get along for a short time, and the impression in their minds is still very vague, no matter what, they are brothers in the same team, and they have to go all out to rescue if they have a trace of vitality.

"Captain, it's better to be a prisoner than to be stabbed, few people can survive under torture, even if the enemy doesn't kill them, their future path will be cut off. ”

The words of the guards made Gao Yuan even more sad, he lost his freedom as a prisoner, he could die at any time if he didn't open his mouth to torture and extract confessions, and spitting out information meant treason, even if he survived, he would be blinded everywhere when he returned to the country.

"I hope they don't have to suffer, and if they survive, they will have a chance to take revenge, you don't know the key secrets, and the general information leaks out and doesn't matter. ”

The guards were quite surprised when they heard this, and asked in disbelief: "If they really want to confess, the military law will punish them as defection and defection to the enemy, which will affect the captain's future, don't you hold a grudge?"

"Merit is the merit of the demerit, there is no shame in being captured in the battle, confession is just the enemy's rhetoric, in my opinion, it is cost-effective to exchange general information for a life. Believe me, as long as they are found alive, they will be ransomed at any cost, the steppe tribes have this rule, and the captives are clearly marked like slaves. ”

The guards thanked him, but the feelings of grief and indignation could not be dissipated: "What about redemption? The military law team will still have to cut off their heads." ”

"Sleep in peace, and don't forget who's in charge of the court-martial. ”

Takagaki turned sideways and stopped talking, and the guards turned their heads to look at him, tears streaming from the corners of their eyes. The two students who may be captured are brothers in the same battalion for five years, and they are emotionally unacceptable, and the military law is ruthless and there is no way to live, and the captain is undoubtedly taking the responsibility off, and the crime of law enforcement is added to the law, and I hope that the county lord will be extrajudicial to show mercy.

In the middle of the night, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in all directions, and the cadets patrolling outside the camp cheered up, clenching their blades nervously and excitedly, and the sentry commander ordered with a trill: "You go and report to the commander, the enemy is approaching the camp." ”

The patrol students belong to the escort standard team, all the way is safe and sound, the Lingbo standard team has a personal guard captain, and orders the standard teams to camp and defend in the name of the county lord, so that most of the students look down on it, thinking that the momentum is weakened before the battle, everyone is a cavalry, who is afraid of whom.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, some people felt in hindsight: "Fortunately, I set up camp earlier, and there are many enemies who heard this sound, as if they were going to surround the camp." Someone complained dissatisfiedly: "We are on duty, the Lingbo cavalry is sleeping with their heads covered, and after the battle, they may hide farther away, and it is difficult for the county lord to know in the rear." ”

"Shut up and patrol carefully. The sentry commander stopped the discussion and lowered his voice to persuade: "The Lingbo scouts have discovered the enemy's traces, and the teams should camp as soon as possible, or they will respond to the battle in a hurry, the cavalry will be able to retreat quickly, and the convoy and our infantry will definitely suffer." ”

When the patrols heard the sound of horses' hooves, they sent people to ask for instructions one after another, and the two standard commanders sent back orders: continue to patrol, be careful of the enemy stealing the camp, and ignore the surroundment. The patrol team was apprehensive at first, the knife was out of the sheath and the arrow was wound ready to fight at any time, the sound of horses' hooves was continuous, listening to the sound of the camp dozens of miles away, no one sneaked up in the middle of the night, and the patrolling cadets did not feel relaxed. Before dawn, sleeping soundly, the night is the thickest, is the best time to steal the camp, the enemy did not move, seeing the white light in the east, the patrol turned around and returned to the camp, after dawn should be the scout out long-distance sentinels.

Behind the patrol, countless black shadows moved forward agilely against the grass, and when they looked closer, everyone was disguised, and occasionally the patrol team turned back, and immediately lay on the ground and did not move, looking like undulating grass from a distance, several vigilant patrol sentry commanders, in the persuasion of his subordinates to give up the patrol, the sky is about to dawn, at this time it is not a wise choice to steal the camp.

The grass was full of traps and tripwires, which could prevent the cavalry from assaulting, and there was no threat to the infantry crawling close to the ground, and the dark shadows around the camp stopped a few feet away from the fence, and crossing the front trench was bound to make the sentries find that there were five sentries in front of the camp gate, silently erasing the enemy, the enemy in all directions, waiting for orders to attack at the same time. There are many war horses in the grassland, and the cavalry is the main force, affected by the inertia of thinking, the defense is focused on dealing with cavalry raids, who would have thought that the grassland tribes would give up their strengths and select warriors to steal the camp on foot, the timing choice is even more incredible, and the laxity of the patrol team makes it easy for them to approach the camp.

There was a piercing sound of trumpets in the distance, and at dawn the enemy suddenly attacked, and several patrols that did not return to the camp in time were eliminated after a short fight, and the sentries in front of the camp forgot to strike the gong in a panic, and only had time to give out the enemy's cries before they were hit by arrows and fell.

The patrol team that had just entered the camp gate instinctively turned back when they heard the sentry shouting, and in the hazy dawn, how could there be more shining swords of the enemy, and the astonishment made them lose precious reaction time, many of them fell in the random arrows, and the shortcomings of the inexperienced soldiers were exposed in actual combat.

"Kill it, whoever grabs it will go to whom!"

The commander hissed and shouted, the trench of the camp was five or six feet deep and seven or eight feet wide, the enemy threw off his camouflage and jumped down, and climbed up from the other side in a blink of an eye, smiling and brandishing his swords and guns, and throwing away the scattered long arrows, waiting for the soldiers to stabilize the ranks, the enemy charged between the trench and the fence, and the archers fired a round of random arrows, and the camp gate was already close to each other, and it was difficult for the defenders to give full play to the advantage of bows and arrows.

In front of the fence, the two sides fought to the death, the spear kept stabbing out from the gap, the enemy who stole the camp fell down with a shot, not waiting for the spear to be withdrawn, someone grabbed the barrel of the gun, several people pounced, the long knife cut down along the gap, the student soldier threw away the spear and drew the knife to face the battle, the archers behind him did not dare to let go of the arrow, for fear of hurting their own brothers, they still drew their knives to meet them, many fences collapsed in the light of the knife, every gap was staged bloody hand-to-hand combat, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

"Hold the camp gates, wait for cavalry support, and charge with me—"

Once the enemy occupies the camp gate, the cavalry can drive straight in, the camp will fall into a melee, a few fires are burned, the craftsmen and materials of the transport team are all reimbursed, a cadet captain is not afraid of death when he sees this, shouting and leading people to launch a counter-charge, the patrol cadets who have woken up from the panic follow closely behind with red eyes, and let the enemy approach the fence under the paralysis and carelessness.

The captain of the cadet made the best choice, the offense is the best defense, the strength of the cadet's counterattack exceeded the expectations of the steppe people, the death and injury of the partners beside them, so that they no longer have fear, under the domination of a strong belief in revenge, the long-term training of killing skills can be brought into play, the captain slashed several people one after another, and stabbed into the lower abdomen with a knife on his side, he grabbed the blade of the knife, so that the enemy had no time to dodge, the long knife came out of his hand, shot the enemy, the captain fell down with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the archers behind the fence had formed a formation, and the cavalry appeared in the passage that gave way, and the enemy's plan to steal the camp was shattered。

"Retreat, retreat!"

Stealing the camp, focusing on a sudden attack, taking advantage of the guards' panic to occupy the camp gate, tearing the fence through the gap, so that the follow-up troops can quickly break through, and now the second wave of attack of the horse's hooves sounded, the student soldiers have stabilized their position to launch a counterattack, the failure of the sneak attack became a foregone conclusion, the enemy commander immediately ordered a retreat, can not occupy the camp gate, the fence gap is too small, the rear cavalry rushed over, it is difficult to rush into the camp in a short time, it will become a live target for the bow and crossbow of the student soldiers, and the crossbow of the Qinghui Empire can shoot through the war horse.

"Prairie warriors, nothing more. ”

On the lookout platform in front of the Chinese army's tent, Qiu Biao's body was as tall as a javelin, seeing that the enemy was about to retreat, the drum hammer in his hand fell, and he issued an order to attack.

The side wall of the trench of the protective camp, one by one in front of the hiding soldier hole camouflage tore, curled up in the hole lurking for more than an hour, the guards heard the sound of killing and moved their hands and feet, the drum sounded, crawled out of the hole and waved the long knife, is stopping the retreating enemy, one side has been gathering momentum for a long time, one side fled in panic, the strong individual combat effectiveness of the guards is extraordinary, blocking in the trench and not giving an inch.

A thousand guards not only concealed the enemy, even the patrol did not know that there was an ambush of their own elite soldiers, the soldiers and the guards were flanked inside and out, the enemy who stole the camp could not advance or retreat, and the battle was quickly one-sided, and when the steppe cavalry brandished their sabers to respond, the crossbow of the camp showed its fangs, and the enemy cavalry threw down hundreds of corpses and retreated in a hurry, and the infantry who stole the camp were all wiped out.

Gao Yuan was too tired, a good dream woke up the drums, grabbed a long knife to protect Pan Yang and the two, the enemy who attacked had his own guards and students to deal with, and he couldn't run out of the tent to fight, who knows if there was an enemy sneaking in, and when Li Zihui ran in to report, Gao Yuan walked out of the camp tent, the battlefield was already being cleaned outside, and the personal guards were guarding in front of the lookout, with a smug smile on his face.

"Takagaki stole the camp and let us fight back, taking hundreds of prisoners. ”

"Captain, don't listen to his nonsense, the escort team is in ambush outside the camp, the prisoners are captured by others, we are guarding the Chinese army, and we don't even see the shadow of the enemy. ”

Chang Yunfei stepped forward and reported in detail: "Excellent led people to ambush outside the camp, and the enemy really came to steal the camp, but the timing was staggered, and several patrols were killed unexpectedly. The convoy was copied from the back, and few of the enemy returned alive, and more than 300 people were captured, and there was a leader among them, who looked like a big official. ”

"Why didn't the standard commander let the apprentices set up an ambush?"

Li Zihui hurriedly replied: "First, everyone is tired from the rapid march and needs to rest to recover their strength, and secondly, the guards of each team have not undergone coordinated training, and the head-on battle will be chaotic. ”

"Excellence can make a great contribution this time, and the leader is he who grabbed it and took a knife. ”

Takagaki hurriedly asked, "How is the injury?"

"It's fine. The knife was cut on the back, there was soft armor to protect the body, and the bones were not injured, and the doctor said that he had suffered internal injuries and needed to be recuperated. ”

"He is the commander of the transport team, leading people to run to set up an ambush, I don't want to live and don't hurt people, why did the standard commander agree to let him lead the team. ”

"The standard commander once sent him to sneak away by picking people, and he was scolded as soon as he came back. ”

"Takagaki. Li Zihui shouted, and when he saw that the guards wanted to speak and stopped, Gao Yuan smiled indifferently: "I know what to do, you go to the interrogation to see if the two brothers are alive." ”

"I asked earlier, two of them were killed and one wounded, and the wounded and captured brothers would rather die than speak, and after being tortured, they were hung in front of the camp gate, saying that they were used to sacrifice flags during the general attack. ”

"Captain, just now we discussed, and we also went to steal the camp and snatched my brother back. ”

The guards looked at Gao Yuan expectantly, the soldiers had few relatives, and the friendship between the comrades-in-arms was sincere, and they could not tolerate the brothers letting the enemy cut off their heads like beasts and sacrifice the flag.

"Then why don't you go?" Gao Yuan didn't answer the rhetorical question, and one of the guards replied with a complicated expression: "Li Zihui thinks that the enemy is deliberately provoking anger and will set up an ambush in front of the camp gate, but if you don't go, it's really too late, and you can't watch your brother suffer." ”

"Li Zihui, you finally didn't harm me this time, you did the right thing, you really want to save people, if you don't die, you have to be a prisoner, I'll go to the standard commander." ”

Gao Yuan wiped his face and walked towards the Chinese military tent, and twelve guards followed behind.

"Don't follow me, leave the two of you to take care of Inspector Pan. ”

Gao Yuan had to stop, and one person went to plead for mercy, and the pro-guards all went, and there was a suspicion of persecuting the standard commander, and hating the coach's temper would only backfire.

"Li Zihui, you write a letter in the name of the standard commander, proposing to exchange prisoners of war, take people into the enemy camp, be careful, don't let the ambush soldiers catch you. ”

Li Zihui asked in a low voice: "You didn't ask the coach, is it appropriate to cut first and then play?"

"Don't worry about idleness, and follow orders honestly. ”

Driving away Li Zihui, Gao Yuan walked to Chang Yunfei and quietly arranged, he took people to leave in a hurry after hearing this, Gao Yuan washed his face next to the waterwheel, and pretended to be nothing and walked into the Chinese military tent.

"Coach, this fight is beautiful, just the captives will catch a few hundred, you and Zhuo Zhuo drove me to sleep, it turned out that I wanted to take the credit alone. ”

Coach Qiu was in a good mood after winning the battle, and he didn't bother to care about his ridiculous tone.

"It's your ghost idea to hide the soldier cave, Lao Tzu uses it to make meritorious contributions, hehe, let it go if you have a fart, do you want to exchange prisoners of war?"
