Early June is the hottest time. In Daliang City, even at night, the night wind still carries a warm breath.
But it is much better on the grassland. The temperature difference between day and night here is obvious. At night, the cold wind blows on people, which makes people very comfortable and comfortable.
Sun Fuhu was lying down in the dense forest with a green blade of grass in his mouth, staring into the distance.
As for following Duke Zhongguo, it was good. If nothing else, the iodized salt was enough. With balanced nutrition in the food, his eyesight at night was not much different from that during the day.
The man was lying on the grass, but his heart was full of mixed feelings and he felt quite dissatisfied.
During the day, the scene of Feng Wanli receiving an award for his meritorious service deeply stimulated him. Especially afterward, when Duke Zhongguo summoned people to discuss matters in the big tent, Feng Wanli actually followed him inside, but he was left out.
At night, the people Feng Wanli led were assigned horses, and he took some infantrymen to hide in the dense forest as a reserve force.
Why, everyone is a ranger, and their strength is equal, but now there is such a huge difference in salary and status. How will he get around in the future? How will other rangers view him?
How else could he go out to meet people?
He was very dissatisfied, but Sun Fuhu could only hold it in his heart. Everything that Feng Wanli has now was created by others with swords and guns. They risked their lives and no one could say anything. He could only
Neng secretly made up his mind that once he had the chance, he would definitely perform well. He would tell everyone that he, Sun Fuhu, was no worse than Feng Wanli, and was even stronger.
Holding a breath in his heart, Sun Fuhu stared into the distance, feeling a little excited. He knew that tonight was the time for him to show off. Although he did not have a war horse and could not guarantee the speed of the attack, fortunately, the dense forest was far away from the military camp.
It's very close. As soon as the battle starts, he rushes out. Who's to say that he can't kill a few more barbarians and make a great contribution?
With a firm look on his face, Sun Fuhu at this moment just regretted that time passed too slowly and why the barbarian knight didn't show up yet.
At this time, the barbarian knights were on their way.
Today is the fourth day of June. There is almost no moonlight in the sky, making everything in sight pitch black, which greatly affects the speed of the cavalry.
But after all, the distance was only twenty miles, and the two thousand cavalry arrived outside the so-called camp of Bukhan's troops according to the prescribed time. Looking from a distance, one could already see the torches in the military camp, as well as some patrols.
Is wandering around.
Speaking of these patrols, they are not made of withered grass as mentioned on TV, but real patrol soldiers. The ones left on duty tonight are the one hundred rangers who have made mistakes brought by Feng Wanli.
them.
Since it is known that the enemy will come to steal the camp, it is naturally very dangerous to stay in the camp. The death squads come in handy to carry out the most dangerous tasks.
The hundreds of rangers, including Feng Wanli who took the initiative to stay, naturally knew the danger of the mission, but they stayed without hesitation. Even if they have done wrong things in the past and want to repent now, they must always look like they are repenting, right?
.
As long as they can complete tonight's mission and wash away the shame on them, they will truly die in battle, and their lives will be unshakable.
After the excitement of the day, these rangers who stayed in the camp, dressed in the uniforms of Bukhan's department, patrolled the camp with normal expressions, giving people a sense of being unsuspecting.
Although they knew that there might be barbarian scouts watching them in the dark, they did not show any strange behavior.
The barbarian army scouts saw everything with their eyes. After seeing that the patrolling soldiers here were as usual and there was nothing special, they reported what they saw to the commander Meng Ding.
When he learned that Bahan was indeed unprepared, Meng Ding looked happy and said with emotion, "Sure enough, it's just a villain who succeeded, but he just won a game by luck. I really thought that I
Are you invincible? Since you are so careless, just wait for your heads to be chopped off by our machetes. Come on, let us know and prepare to attack."
Two thousand barbarians immediately took action. One thousand of them were horsemen. They tore off the thick cloth on the horse's hoof prints and took off the horse's muzzle. Another thousand barbarians drew their weapons and made a charge.
The next moment, there were waves of shouts of killing that resounded throughout the world.
Two thousand barbarian soldiers came in an overwhelming force and rushed into the military camp with a sound that shook the sky and the ground.
In the big tent, as soon as the barbarians launched their charge, Feng Wanli and the others fled. They wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. In the words of Lord Zhongguo, if they want to destroy the enemy, they must first
Protect yourself. Otherwise, why would you kill the enemy if your life is gone?
Feng Wanli and the others reacted quickly, but it was difficult for their legs to outrun the barbarian knights who rushed after them. The dozen rangers running at the end were quickly targeted by the barbarian knights, and then there was the sound of arrows piercing the air.
It sounded, followed by the scene of a famous ranger throwing himself to the ground.
"You go first, we are blocking you. Please tell the Duke that we are not cowards." After killing more than a dozen rangers, Barbarian Cavalry had no intention of stopping the pursuit. There were still a dozen or so slowest rangers who simply ran away.
No longer running, he shouted to Feng Wanli and others in front, then turned around with his sword and faced the charging barbarian cavalry.
Feng Wanli, who was running at the front, heard the shouting. He stopped and turned around to look. What he saw was the ranger turning around to fight. This behavior is tantamount to seeking death, but it can save more people's lives.
Opportunity.
He suddenly stamped his feet and shouted, "You are all good." Then Feng Wanli did not stop and ran quickly towards the dense forest with the other rangers.
Nearly thirty rangers soon fell to the ground covered in blood and died under the charge of the barbarian knights. When Meng Ding came over and looked at these corpses, he couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, look, this is it."
That guy Ba Khan has no choice but to run away when he sees us, so how can they be our opponents?"
Just when he was feeling proud, a centurion suddenly ran up to him and shouted loudly, "General Meng, there is nothing in the camp. We...we are afraid we have been fooled."
"What?" Meng Ding's expression couldn't help but change. What he was originally proud of had turned into a trap for the enemy. This result was beyond his expectation and he couldn't accept it. For a moment, he didn't know.
He had something to say, but he was just sitting on the horse looking stunned and at a loss.
"General, break out quickly, they may not leave us behind under the night." Another centurion said anxiously. The situation is critical, and it is not the time to hesitate. If not, he will turn to the general.
He was also captured.
"Yes, yes, break out of the encirclement." Meng Ding said as if he was just waking up from a dream, "Quick, speed up and retreat towards Xiucheng."
It can be said that Meng Ding's reaction was timely. Just as he led a group of barbarians to retreat towards Xiucheng in the south, the tents were set alight, the fire turned half the sky red, and a thousand barbarian infantry were surrounded by a sea of fire.
middle.
Sun Fuhu and the rangers who were hiding in the dense forest took the opportunity to rush out. They surrounded the camp with swords in their hands. Whenever they found a barbarian soldier escaping from the sea of fire, they would go up and slash at them. Often a few escaped.
The barbarian soldiers have to face a dozen or more rangers. With the numerical advantage, the number of barbarian soldiers is constantly decreasing.
Meng Ding, who had escaped, saw the sea of fire behind him and was wondering if he should go back to meet the infantry, when a lot of black shadows appeared on both sides of them. They were all guards of the Zhongguo Palace riding Dawan horses.
Holding Shen's small repeating crossbow, arrows shot through the air one after another and landed on the barbarian knight, forming a network of arrows.
"General, let's go quickly. There is still an enemy ambush here. It's not a place to stay for a long time. It's better to go back to Xiucheng before making further arrangements." The other centurions saw Meng Ding's hesitation and spoke out to dissuade him.
It's not that they don't want to save their comrades, it's just that the situation is unclear in the dark night. If they go back like this, if they don't do it well, they won't be saving others, but they will be caught up with themselves.
"Okay." Meng Ding also knew that everyone was right. It was indeed very dangerous to go back now. He had decided that once he returned to Xiucheng, he would report what happened here. He could no longer hide it under any circumstances.
Before, I thought of rescuing General Xiang, reducing his culpability and reporting it to the Barbarian King. Now it seems that these Bahan people are not as incompetent as others said. On the contrary, they are very capable. If they are fighting
If we go down, we may suffer a lot of losses. If we lose Hugh City because of this, it will be a death penalty.
Meng Ding was worried that Xiucheng would be lost, but he didn't know that outside Xiucheng, two thousand Bahna's cavalry were waiting here for a long time, waiting for their return and taking advantage of the chaos to occupy Xiucheng.
Shen Ao didn't think about wiping out all these barbarians in the camp based on how much rice he could put in the pot. It was difficult to do this in the dark, and once the melee started, there would be no losses.
Too small. If the loss of troops here is too large, how will we deal with the main force of the barbarians once it is attracted?
How to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost is what Shen Ao needs to consider and plan.
After much deliberation, Shen Ao decided to deal with the barbarian infantry in the camp, and then took advantage of the panic of the other party to deal with the barbarian cavalry. There were two thousand Bakhna's cavalry waiting in vain in the city.
A scene outside.
When the battle was proceeding smoothly according to plan, Shen Ao saw the flames rising above the camp, so he put down everything here, and with one thousand or two hundred guards on horseback, he rushed straight behind the barbarian cavalry. As much as possible
Eliminate the opponent's effective forces and lay a better foundation for the subsequent capture of Hugh City.
