Chen Fengzhi took the Iron Tiger Camp and escorted the grain transport soldiers away.
Following Zhang Liang's reminder, we walked in the dark under the leadership of local hunters.
"Looks like a tall and rough guy, but also quite thoughtful."
Zhang Liang watched Tiehu Camp disappear into the darkness and praised Chen Fengzhi in his heart.
Chen Fengzhi did not extinguish the torches directly, but asked people to plant them on the ground.
This way, enemies in the distance won't notice them leaving and think there are still so many people.
By the time the enemy got close enough to see clearly, Tiehu Camp would have already gone far away.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang suddenly squinted his eyes and asked the bodyguards to put torches on the ground, while he disappeared into the darkness.
The Tubo soldiers were very fast, and after ten minutes, they reached a hillside.
A mile further ahead is the place where the bodyguards put their torches.
A veteran walking at the front of the queue suddenly slowed down.
"What's wrong?" asked the companion next to him.
The veteran ignored his companions, turned around and ran to the right to find his centurion.
"Sir, I have something to report!"
"What's the matter?" asked the centurion.
"The villain feels something is wrong!" The veteran said quickly: "The villain is at the front of the team. He has been paying attention to the opposite side for a while. Although he can't see clearly yet, the villain found that all their torches were motionless!"
The centurion was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. When he heard the veteran's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
Even if the black-armored team discovered them and wanted to wait for work and stay where they were to rest and prepare for the battle, with thousands of people gathered together, it was impossible for no one to move around.
The torch was motionless, which only meant that no one was there!
"I'm going to find the flag leader now. If you guess correctly, the flag leader will definitely reward you!"
The centurion also realized the seriousness of the matter, patted the veteran on the shoulder, and prepared to inform his superiors.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a faint light in the distance.
Immediately afterwards there was a burst of sound.
The centurion thought that the sound of breaking through the air was from the crossbow, and immediately fell to the ground.
Just then, he saw something round falling next to his face.
I was about to pick it up to see what it was, when my eyes went white and I couldn't see anything anymore.
The centurion was not the only one who encountered this situation.
Hundreds of white lights flash one after another, making the night sky brighter than the day in a short period of time.
Some soldiers who were far away and had not been blinded by the flash turned around and saw a large group of soldiers wearing black armor dozens of meters away.
The strange thing is that these black-armored warriors all lowered their heads and buried their faces in their arms.
It seems like some kind of ceremony is being held.
There is actually a legend in the Tubo camp these days that the black-armored team knows magic and can make their opponents temporarily blind, but their own people will be fine.
Many cavalry patrolling at night were killed by the black-armored team using this trick.
As for how the Black Armor team did it, no one knows.
Now seeing such abnormal behavior of the Black Armored Team, many Tubo soldiers believed in this legend even more.
It is believed that the ritual performed by the Black Armored Team is a form of magic.
The so-called magic method is a flash bomb.
The faint light that the centurion saw just now was produced when the bodyguards took out their fire sticks and lit the flash bombs.
What the escorts are doing now is just to cover their eyes for fear of being accidentally injured by flash bombs.
Zhang Liang didn't care what the enemy thought. He opened his eyes slightly, made sure that there was no more white light flashing, and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The bodyguards all lowered their arms, took off their crossbows that had been strung up, and pulled the triggers at the crowd.
There were thousands of Tibetan soldiers dozens of meters away in front of them. There was no need to aim at all, and not a single arrow missed.
It just happens that several escorts shoot one person at the same time.
Even so, after a salvo was fired, more than 300 Tibetan soldiers were still hit by arrows.
However, the power of the folding crossbow was limited, the distance between the two sides was tens of meters, and the weather was bad, so the escorts could not aim at the vital points, so the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were basically injured, and not many died.
Many people did not fall to the ground and were still rubbing their eyes and spinning around.
The blinding effect of the flash bomb was limited. When Zhang Liang saw that this was not going to work, he immediately changed his mind.
"One, two, and three consecutive free kills, three, four, and five, close shots!"
Following Zhang Liang's order, two hundred male bodyguards in armor rushed up and charged into the enemy's formation.
The remaining 100 male bodyguards, together with the 200 female bodyguards, quickly approached the enemy formation with crossbows in hand.
As the distance gets closer, the accuracy and power of shooting will naturally increase.
The soldiers sent by Danzhu are considered elite in Tubo, but no matter how elite they are, they are still no match for the bodyguards if their eyes are blinded by flashes.
For a time, the elite Tibetan infantry were like straw, being chopped down and shot by the bodyguards in rows!
However, the marching team composed of 3,000 people has a large area. Zhang Liang and others only have 500 people. Throwing flash bombs cannot cover the entire team, only covering the western half.
About half of the soldiers temporarily lost their sight.
Some soldiers who were far away from the flash bomb just felt some discomfort in their eyes and were not blinded by the flash bomb.
As an elite veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he naturally knows how to cooperate.
Those Tibetan soldiers who had no eyesight discovered that the bodyguard was harvesting their companions, and immediately stopped them without anyone's instructions.
By this time, a fight had begun. The two sides were indistinguishable from each other. If he threw the flash thunder again, he would accidentally injure his own people. Zhang Liang knew that the time had passed.
If the escort is entangled by the Tubo soldiers, it will be difficult to escape, and they will be defeated one by one.
Wanting to understand this, Zhang Liang took out his crossbow, picked an arrow, and after confirming the color, he raised his hand and shot it into the air.
A sharp whistle sounded, and a stream of yellow light rose into the sky.
The bodyguards no longer wanted to fight and withdrew from the enemy's position one after another.
The three hundred male and female bodyguards who had not entered the enemy's position immediately switched from free fire to alternating fire, suppressing the opponent and covering the retreat of their comrades.
The escort who retreated quickly found his position.
This method of combat was repeatedly discussed and confirmed by Jin Feng and Zhang Liang on the way to Xichuan.
After arriving at Damang Slope, these five hundred escorts did not have to do anything. Their only task was to train this combat method.
I don't know how many times I have to repeat it in a day, and my proficiency can no longer be said to be a tacit understanding, and it has almost formed an instinctive reaction.
Under the protection of black armor, all the escorts withdrew intact, and as usual, they successfully formed a triangle formation while resisting the attacks of the Tibetan soldiers.
The blinding effect of the flash bomb gradually wore off, and the Tibetan soldiers who were blinded by the flash recovered their vision one after another.
But there are not many such lucky people.
The escorts also knew that the blinding time was limited, so they tried their best in the attack just now.
None of the escorts who rushed into the enemy's formation escaped, and each of them killed at least one or two enemies.
Some move faster than others.
The three hundred escorts outside the formation were also idle, and their crossbows never stopped firing.
In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand of the Tibetan soldiers who were blinded were killed by the bodyguards.
But this kind of good thing only happens once. If you use the flash bomb again, you will be blinded as well.
