Chapter 877 Night Attack

The night was already thicker in the wilderness, and the wind was tighter, and the bonfires were whistling, but the fire that had been lit up was not blown out in the end. However, the light that was constantly shaking and uncertain is particularly weak in this star-free night. The light could hardly be illuminated further in the darkness except for the camp.

This gave the hundreds of men who had already hidden on the hillside, so that they could hide better. In addition, the whistling north wind caused their quiet conversation to be completely covered up.

"Dad, is it really that old Gao Qiu thief?" A young man tightened his knife and stared at the small camp closer to him with hatred.

Next to him was a strong man with a sturdy body and a rough appearance. He held the steel fork in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Your second uncle and third uncle have been following them for several days. From Daming Mansion to this place, you must be wrong." As he said that, he looked back at the two men behind him.

The two of them nodded at the same time and whispered: "It's that old thief. Even if he turns into ashes, we can recognize him. I didn't expect that he would leave Bianjing this time, which is just a chance to avenge us."

"But can our little manpower really make a fortune? There are thousands of people over there..." Another person said with concern, and as he spoke, he looked into the distance. It was the camp established by Sun Tu.

"This is our best opportunity, and we have mastered the surrounding environment. Even if we fail, we can escape unsuccessfully!" The man in the lead said in a firm tone: "Everyone has seen that the defense here is not tight. As long as we move fast enough, we will be able to retreat before alarming the barracks ahead."

Speaking of this, he pointed the steel fork and ordered decisively: "Attack! Kill the night watchmen over there first, and then rush to the largest tent!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was already ahead, and he jumped out like a cheetah, pounced on the camp with only a few hundred people like lightning.

The others did not hesitate at all, and they rose up and rushed forward quickly. These people were all strong and light. Even though hundreds of people were moving at the same time, under the cover of the north wind and the darkness, there was no movement. They appeared on the edge of the camp in just a moment.

They were all good hunters for many years, and their cooperation was extremely tacit. Without the leader's order, twenty people showed their short bows at the same time, skillfully putting arrows on the strings. The arrows immediately crossed a distance of about ten feet and shot through the necks of the night-watching imperial guards standing by the bonfire, and the arrows penetrated their throats!

The raids of these people were indeed extremely sharp and fierce. At this time, only ten people were vigilant in the camp here, but twenty people fired cold arrows, two of them took care of one, and each of them had the ability to penetrate Yang a hundred steps. Almost every arrow hit the vital point of the throat, which made the ten soldiers, not to mention dodging, even the screams before their death were sealed in their throats. And their fallen bodies could not make any noise because of the soft snow below.

The imperial guards and Gao Qiu's guards who had never been so hard that they had been exhausted after rushing for many days. At this time, they were all sleeping soundly in the tent, so naturally they could not notice the assassination outside. So when the ten people fell down, the camp was still quiet, which made the assassins who had already raised their hearts to their throats and made the worst plans a little wider, and their movements were even faster. Ten feet away, they all jumped up, easily climbed over the half-person-high fence, held their weapons, and rushed straight to the tent in the middle.

The leader, who was leading the tent, had a fork in his right hand and poked out like lightning. As soon as he grabbed the curtain, he suddenly pulled it down. With a clamor, he tore off the curtain made of cowhide and bare, which was made of cowhide and storm. At the same time, his body shook and rushed in. Before he could carefully distinguish the situation in the inner world, the steel fork in his right hand had already stabbed a black shadow in the dark that was about to rise because of the movement.

With a puff, the steel fork entered his body, but there was no imagined scream. At the same time, the man also felt that the steel fork on his hand tightened, and his weapon was actually clamped by the target's body! This made him suddenly shocked, knowing that something had changed, he was actually looking for the wrong target!

"There is an assassin!" A sharp scream instantly tore through the quietness of the night. At the same time, two cold lights on both sides slashed straight towards the man's neck and waist and abdomen. Although there was almost no object in the darkness, these two attacking opponents could capture this opportunity to kill the enemy.

The weapon in his hand was pinched to death, and the man who was unable to get rid of it for a while was immediately in great danger. He might be able to give up the steel fork and retreat, but in this way, he would inevitably be unable to resist the follow-up moves of the two people who came to the left and right.

What a fierce man. Even in such a sudden danger, he was still not panicked. He suddenly shouted loudly, held the handle of the fork with both hands, and sent forward with all his might. He heard a puff sound again accompanied by a harsh scream. He could no longer move forward, and he stepped forward at the moment when the two swords were about to reach, causing the two swords to fall behind him. He actually pierced the person in front of him with his strength!

At the same time, he swung his fork and twisted his body, and actually picked a hundred-pound enemy and turned around and swept it out, causing the follow-up moves of the two sword hands behind him to fall on his companion. This time, this person was so dead that he could not die anymore. Not only was his body pierced by the steel fork, but his chest and abdomen were also hit several times, and blood and flesh flew across. The two sword hands were also swung hard by his companion's body, and they fell out in a mess. One of them even hit the tent pillar next to him. With the sound of the kra, the pillars as thick as the legs were cracked.

All this seemed complicated, but it was completed at the moment when the rabbit rose and fell. It was not until this time that someone followed the man's companion rushed into the tent, and he heard him shouting: "The old thief Gao Qiu is not here, retreat quickly!"

The few people who came in behind were shocked when they heard this, and then quickly turned around and rushed out. Their rationality has always suppressed hatred, and they know that saving lives is more important than revenge. Now that they have failed to succeed in one blow, and are trapped in the military camp, surrounded by officers and soldiers, then leaving first is the best choice.

At this time, all the imperial guards in the tent around were awakened, screaming and shouting sounded. Many people had not had time to put on their armor and rushed out of the tent with their weapons in panic. When they saw the assassins outside who were about to leave, they shouted angrily: "Where are you going?" The swords and guns in their hands were slashing at them with all their strength, and some people took a detour to block their way.

For a moment, the entire camp became in a state of chaos, but there were only thirty or forty people in front of a small tent in the upper left corner of the camp, guarding the gate. Everyone was on guard and did not dare to relax at all. In addition, there were also people holding the magic arm bow of the enemy-killing weapon on the battlefield, pointing far ahead. Once someone dared to get in the chaos, they would shoot arrows to kill the enemy without hesitation.

In this small tent, Gao Qiu sat in his clothes with his face ashen face. Four calm men were guarding him on the left and right, and the weapons in their hands were all unsheathed. Under such a number of internal and external guards, unless a large army came fiercely, he would not hurt him.

Gao Qiu's face turned pale because of anger, but more because of fear. He had received the news that an assassin actually touched the central army's tent and seemed to have killed someone. If he had not kept one, he would have died at this time.

"Who dared to assassinate me? Is it Sun Tu's man?" Gao Qiu asked in a cold voice after calming down.

"It seems that no, the military camp over there has just reacted a little, and the people who came were wearing all the clothes of the people." A personal guard raised the curtain and looked at the battle outside and said casually. Although it was still dark outside, there were only swaying bonfires, and the figures were still very messy, his eyesight could still see clearly the costumes of the twenty or thirty assassins who had been surrounded, and they were not among the imperial guards.

This answer surprised Gao Qiu and sighed a little relieved: "Fortunate..." In fact, the reason why he gave up the better central army tent and ran to such a small tent to sleep was to prevent Sun Tu from going to him. After all, he had a lot of hatred with Sun Tu and had seen the other party's ruthless methods. But at the same time, he had a new question in his heart, what are the origins of these assassins and why did they assassinate him like this?

"Leave a few living things." Gao Qiu quickly made a decision and immediately ordered.

But just as this order was passed, a sound of whizzing arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded outside, and a scream followed by a scream. This made Gao Qiu frown suddenly: "Didn't they let them stay more alive? Once they use crossbows, they can't control themselves!"

"The Grand Marshal, the assassin has an accomplice outside. They shot many of our brothers with bows and arrows!" The subordinates hurriedly replied.

This group of assassins had made many preparations for this assassination and even understood the way out. So even if they failed and were surrounded by more than ten times the official army, they still did not give up. At the same time, their companions who had already arranged to respond outside also decisively shot arrows and killed the enemy, quickly opening up a bloody path for them.

After learning that this was the case, Gao Qiu finally couldn't bear it: "Stay them, no matter whether they are alive or dead!" If these assassins were allowed to escape, where would he put his face? What made him even more annoyed was that it had been a while, and Sun Tu's camp, which was only two or three miles away, was still quietly without any reaction, as if they didn't know that there was a ball here.

This is true. The two camps above the wilderness formed a strange and strong contrast. On one side, the sound of killing was shocking, and several barracks were in flames. On the other side, there was no movement, and only some figures walked out of the tent and looked out from afar...
