Chapter 105 Riding Ling Chen
Chapter 105 Yiqi Lingchen
Sumanai rushed out of the commander's tent, holding his sword and looking around hastily.
In the darkness, people screamed and screamed, and the sound of swords clashing made his eardrums hurt. The wind was filled with the smell of blood, and the soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies.
"General," Xiumuye stumbled over, his feet bare and an empty scabbard dangling from his waist, "It's the Yan Army. The Yan Army has come to steal the camp!"
Sumanai stretched out his hand to grab Xiumuye's collar, lifted him up to him, and sprayed spittle all over his head and face:
"Fart, there are only a few hundred of them. Is it a night terror, sergeant?"
Night terrors are experienced by almost all generals leading troops.
The highly nervous sergeant suddenly shouted "The enemy is coming" in his sleep, and his companions believed it and added fuel to the fire. Panic quickly spread throughout the military camp, and soldiers hacked each other in the dark and fled in all directions. If the generals did not handle it properly, the riot might last until dawn.
.
The other party only has 400 people, so there is no way they would have the guts to steal the camp.
Yes, it must be a night terror.
A captain rushed out of the darkness and shouted: "General, what should we do?"
"Don't panic!" Sumonai pushed Xiumuye away and shouted to the captain, "Send the order, the whole camp should light up the torches, and each team should return to the camp quickly. If there are any others outside, they will be killed without mercy."
Xiumuye took several steps back before he could stand upright. Holding his tipped felt hat that was tilted off, he shouted anxiously:
"General, this is definitely not a night terror. It must be the man named Pei, who came to attack..."
Sumonai drew out his sword, stepped forward and put it on Xiumuye's neck: "If you dare to disturb the morale of our army again, I will kill you now!"
Xiumuye froze in place like a frightened hen.
Sumonai withdrew his sword and said to the commander who was standing there with his eyes straight: "Why are you still standing there?"
"General...general, look." The commander raised his hand and pointed behind him, and said in despair.
Sumana suddenly turned around.
A fire broke out in the north of the camp, turning half of the night sky red.
"General, that's our food and grass," Xiumuye rushed up and pointed at the fire in the north and shouted, "This is not a night terror, it's the enemy's stolen camp!"
"Impossible," Summonai shouted, "Absolutely impossible!"
He had just slept peacefully and dreamed that the king had promoted him. Now when he opened his eyes, he encountered an enemy stealing camp.
The opponent only has 400 people. Facing an army of 10,000 people and not escaping is already very heroic. I didn’t expect them to dare to steal the camp.
Who is the opponent's general, and how can he be so bold?
"Quickly, summon the sergeants and rescue the food and grass first!"
There was no time to think about other things for the time being, Sumonai drew out his sword and pointed it to the north.
Langya Pass blocked an army of 10,000 people. If the food and grass were burned out again and the army had no food to eat, it would only take a few days for the army to collapse without fighting. By then, Sumonai would be the first to fight 10,000 people against four.
The Xirong generals who were defeated by Bai Que were recorded in the annals of history.
He would never allow such a shameful thing to happen.
The other party must have just set fire to the food and grass, and rushing over now can definitely save most of them.
Xiumuye and the captain quickly summoned the nearby soldiers and gathered together more than 200 people. Sumanai couldn't wait and immediately led everyone to rush to the place where the grain was stored.
Hundreds more sergeants joined the team along the way. Sumonai's heart calmed down and he ordered a captain to calm the chaos in the front camp.
No matter how powerful the opponent is, there are only 400 people. As long as they are surrounded and destroyed, Langya Pass will be undefended. Wait until dawn and directly lead the army through, and bloodbath Xiaogang Village to vent their anger.
He led his troops to the camp where grain and grass were stored. A captain with a face full of smoke and dust came up to him and shouted: "General, cough... let the sergeants put out the fire quickly."
"Where are the enemy troops who attacked me by surprise?" Sumanai unsheathed his sword and looked around, "Where are they!"
Almost all the tents storing food and grass were burning, and thick smoke rushed into the sky. The air was filled with pungent and choking smoke. The Xirong sergeant ran around shouting and extinguishing the fire with a bucket.
"There were no enemy troops... ahem... they rushed in, killed the guards, set fire to it and then withdrew."
Xiumuye covered his mouth and nose and said to Sumonai: "General, the other party rushed in just to burn our food and grass. They ran away long ago."
Sumonai then felt relieved, put the knife back into its sheath, and asked Xiumeye to direct everyone to put out the fire. He found an open place to sit down, accompanied by the captain responsible for guarding the food and grass.
"Have you seen the other side's general clearly?" he asked.
Before the captain could answer, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, as fast as a shower, coming closer and closer.
At first Sumonai thought it was a scout who came to report the news, but when he saw the moon-white figure sitting on the saddle in the firelight, he stood up.
The opponent was a Dayan man, holding a spear in his right hand. He was riding a horse and rushing towards him. The Xirong sergeants nearby were busy carrying water to put out the fire. They had thrown their swords, guns and other weapons on the ground. No one dared to stop him for a while.
.
This Dayan man actually rode alone to assassinate him?
"Protect the general!" the commander shouted, drew his sword and faced him.
The man on the horse drew a cold sword with his left hand, and when the men and horses passed each other, he slashed it at the captain's head. The sword blade cut into the captain's left shoulder and slashed all the way to his lower abdomen.
The captain bought a moment for Sumonai, and he was able to pick up a large shield from the shelf next to him and hold it in front of him.
When the opponent was on a war horse, he charged at him very fast and with far more strength than a normal person. He couldn't resist it at all. The first priority was to save his life with all his strength. There were thousands of soldiers around, so they would naturally help him take care of the enemy.
.
boom!
The spear hit the big shield, and the spear shaft broke into two pieces. Sumonai flew up together with the big shield, and hit the shield stand behind him heavily. Piles of shields hit his back.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away.
Sumonai barely pushed himself up, feeling that his internal organs were twisted into a ball, and the bones in his arms seemed to be cracking. If it weren't for the large shield, this spear would probably break all the bones in the way.
At least he reacted correctly and his life was saved.
When the man in white reined in his horse at the far end, the Xirong sergeants who had woken up had already picked up their swords and guns and protected Sumonai one after another.
The man in white shook his head, seeming a little regretful. He did not ride away on horseback, but galloped back to the dead captain. He leaned down on the horse, took hold of the long sword embedded in the corpse, and pulled out the long sword.
"Yue Xi made it for me, don't throw it away." The man in white said, slashing down with his long sword and throwing away a string of blood beads.
"You will leave your name when you come!" Summonai shouted, holding on to his almost numb arm.
"Xiao Zhuo."
The man in white put his sword back and rode away without looking back.
"General, that's him," Xiumuye pointed at the man's back, "He's the enemy commander, Mr. Pei!"
Sumanai was stunned.
It turns out that the commander on the opposite side is Xiao Zhuo, who is carrying crossbows, stealing camps, and riding alone... everything is explained.
He had heard about the reputation of Prince Dayan for a long time, but he had never played against him. If he caught him, he would make a lot of money. Maybe he could force Emperor Yongde to trade a few cities for him.
Regardless of the physical pain, he waved to the sergeants around him and shouted:
"Hurry up and chase after Xiao Zhuo. Whoever captures Xiao Zhuo alive will be promoted to captain of a thousand men!"
Hundreds of Xirong sergeants mounted their horses, held torches, and were led by a captain. They passed through the moved horses in the north of the camp and chased Xiao Zhuo, who was galloping alone.
"Capture Xiao Zhuo alive!" The captain pointed at the hazy white figure in the night, "The general said, capture Xiao Zhuo and become the captain!"
The Xirong cavalry were eager to perform their merits and whipped their horses' buttocks with all their might, until a cold light suddenly lit up around them.
That was the Liannu that had been lying in wait in the darkness for a long time.
