Chapter 20 Night Attack
Amid the people's cry, Sun Tu seemed particularly calm. His eyes had passed through everyone and fell on the cold eyes of the master staring at him - Liu Yuan. After he found out that Liu Yuan was staring at him, he knew that all this must be the one who was trying to make trouble behind his back, and he was probably targeting him.
Before, Liu Yuan sent him up the mountain to send a letter of surrender to kill people by borrowing a knife. After a plan failed, he did not give up and took such a more vicious method. Moreover, he involved more people this time, which made Sun Tu feel angry, but he could not shout and object as others did, because he knew that this must be futile.
Sure enough, Huang Si Gao shouted: "Shut up! This is a military order, how can you bargain? If you dare to violate it, you will definitely be killed!" The words were full of threats, which made the people silence each other, and the confusion on their faces became stronger and stronger.
Seeing that everyone stopped yelling, Huang Sicai said again: "And you want to attack the mountains at night just to drag the bandits, and it is not really for you to fight with them with your life. As long as you are smarter, there will be no trouble. Now you are more powerful and scream, it is better to rest more and nourish your spirits to make contributions to the court later."
After hearing what he said, Suo Chao, who had wanted to go forward and say a few words to the people, also gave up his mind. As a general leading the army, he could certainly understand the positive effect of this move. If he could really make the bandits on the mountain tired by night attacks, it might be much easier to attack the mountain tomorrow. Then it would be worth it even if there was any damage.
But Sun Tu was very dissatisfied. Night attacks were not something that ordinary people could do, let alone that they were just ordinary people. On the steep and complex mountain road, as long as the bandits smashed a few stones down, they could cause considerable casualties. I'm afraid Liu Yuan also knew this, so he sent himself to such a dangerous situation.
But he was low in status and could not say even if he was dissatisfied, so he could only deal with it carefully. Fortunately, he was still very confident in his own abilities, and even if he attacked the mountain late at night, he could protect himself. What surprised him even more was that among the people around him who were named and seemed anxious, Zhang Chuan was actually the one who was in a name.
However, he soon understood the truth. Zhang Chuan was so arrogant as a thug in the city, probably because he was dependent on the power of Jijiazhuang. But now Ji Yang has been regarded as a band of bandits, and all the people in Jijiazhuang have been taken down, so his situation is miserable. At this time, he has become a completely abandoned son, and even Liu Yuan wants to get rid of him for self-protection.
However, Sun Tu did not think he was very pitiful. Yesterday, due to today's consequences, all of this was caused by Zhang Chuan!
With a little emotion, after eating sesame cakes and drinking a few sips of water, the sky finally became dark. Then Sun Tu and the others were gathered together, and just waited for a command to drive them to launch a night attack on Hutou Village.
During the suffocating waiting, Huang Si finally waved his hand: "Please cheer me up. As long as you break the thief's nest, you will all have the credit! Come on!"
After seeing the officers and soldiers showing their weapons and forcing them up, the civilians had to bite the bullet, raise the sticks in their hands, shouted and ran towards the Xishangang in front, making a lot of noise.
The bandits on the mountain were shocked when they heard the movement. They all jumped up and looked at the dark team rushing towards them below, but they thought that the government army launched a large-scale attack again.
Du Hu's face also became solemn, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "These guys are really not afraid of death! Then let them suffer even more. Don't take action first. Let them come up and give them a cruel person when they get halfway up the mountain!"
The bandits agreed repeatedly, loosening the already-opened bowstrings again, just waiting for the enemy to step forward. Min Zhuang at the foot of the mountain rushed to the intersection of the mountain with fear, and was stunned for a moment because he found that he had not encountered any obstacles. Then someone shouted: "It must be that the bandits were not prepared, let's kill them!"
What is a mob? This is not only reflected in the vulnerability, but also in the absence of correct judgment. After hearing this, the people in the public felt that it was good, and then cheered up and rushed towards the mountain road with big striking steps. The momentum looked really good.
Even Huang Si, Shi Wenbin and others behind him were stunned: "Why did you kill him so easily? Could it be that those bandits are really unprepared and the night attack is right?"
Liu Yuan even stomped his feet and regretted it. If they were to attack the mountain in an accident, wouldn’t it be cheaper than Sun San?
But not long after, things happened to reverse 180 degrees. Just after the people rushed upward for about ten feet, a clapper sound came, and then a raindrop-like arrow shot, caught them off guard. The few people were immediately caught in the arrow and screamed and fell down.
The others were panicked at this time and turned around and wanted to run. However, because the mountain path was narrow and they had no rules to go up the mountain, many of them squeezed into a ball and couldn't even adjust their heads. Suddenly, the screams and screams burst out here.
The bandits on the mountain who saw this scene were also a little confused. They did not expect that this enemy who dared to attack at night would be so vulnerable. Shen Laoqi even asked for his order: "Boss, let me lead my brothers to rush forward and teach them a big lesson, which can save some arrows and stones."
"Okay, Lao Qi, go, I'll take the formation for you here!" Du Hu also felt confident and nodded immediately.
As Shen Laoqi whistled, the thirty or forty bandits were already screaming with swords and axes and rushing toward Min Zhuang down. Their speed was really not slow, and they had already arrived in front of them in just a blink of an eye. When they saw those Min Zhuang who were screaming in a panic and had no power to fight back, these people even showed hideous smiles and waved their weapons and slashed at the heads of the people.
At this moment, the people in the Minzhuang were becoming more and more confused. They didn't care about anything else. The people located above just pushed down desperately, wishing to push down the people below to escape, but almost no one wanted to turn around and fight against the enemy they were fighting.
In such a chaotic and defeated scene, Sun Tu could only dodge and walk down. Fortunately, he was wary of falling behind just now, which was to ensure safety. But when he heard the screams coming from behind, his heart tightened. Those were all innocent people, but they died tragically under the bandits because of Liu Yuan's conspiracy!
But he could not reverse such a defeat. The only thing he could do was to save a few more people within his ability. So when he walked down a long way and stood at a corner, Sun Tu was already standing in front of him, constantly waving arrows to help the people who were still running down. With his move, he really saved many people who might have died.
However, this delay also put himself in a greater crisis, because at this time, Shen Laoqi had already brought people to chase him. At this time, the two thieves were raising their sharp blades to greet a man. The man's reaction was not slow, and he had already blocked the knife that was slashing towards the door, but there was still a big flaw in his chest, and he was about to fall into the trap.
When Sun Tu saw it, he quickly jumped up, and the long stick in his hand popped out, hitting the side of the knife, beating this deadly move. At the same time, he swung his right hand and pulled out the stick that had been hidden, and even hit the enemy hard on his neck before the move, which made the man scream and fell down.
Shen Laoqi, who was cutting over a civil warrior with one knife, shouted angrily when he saw someone dare to resist, and rushed forward with a big stroll. It was still a bit far away. He had already jumped high and snatched up.
Sun Tu quickly pulled the man he rescued: "Retreat!" Then he shrank, lowered his head, and directly flashed to a raised rock that he had seen before, and let Shen Laoqi cut the empty knife. Then he shouted softly, exerted force with both hands, and poked the long stick out like a gun, heading straight to the door of Shen Laoqi, who had just landed on the ground and had not yet stood firm.
Shen Laoqi really didn't expect that such a powerful martial artist would come from among these vulnerable people. He couldn't keep up with the movements. He had time to turn his head and take another step back. But he couldn't completely avoid the stick that was stabbed. He felt that the stick had already stabbed into his left eye. He made him scream in pain and fell backwards.
This incident also caught the murderer who was still attacking Minzhuang off guard. When they found out, they hurried to rescue their leaders. Two people were afraid that Sun Tu and the others would attack Shen Laoqi and rushed forward with all their strength. The sword and axe roared in the air, so fiercely.
But Sun Tu had no intention of getting entangled with them. He just pulled the man who had already been scared and ran down the mountain. Fortunately, the minions were eager to save the people and did not continue to chase them, so they were able to escape down the mountain smoothly. It was not until this time that Sun Tu saw in surprise that the man he had taken the risk was Zhang Wuye Zhang Chuan, who had made a grudge with him!
