The shrill screams tore through the silence of the night, and the raging sound of the river could not stop it at all, but not many people were alarmed. To be precise, there were many people who were awakened, but not many who got up and rushed out.
.
During this period of time, the Yanzhou soldiers had become accustomed to people making loud noises at night and falling asleep amidst the noise. Most of them slept soundly. Just such a shout was far from enough to make them jump up and down.
Enemy attack? Where did the enemy come from? Not to mention what kind of elegance and poetry did the celebrities in the tower and the pavilion create?
Most of the people were very calm, muttered a few curses, and then calmly turned over and covered their heads with quilts. The autumn wind was cold and sleepiness was thick, and they were yelling and making people uneasy.
Bastards should be cut into pieces with thousands of swords and stabbed in the heart with thousands of arrows to relieve their hatred.
Of course, the proportion of elite troops in the Yanzhou Army is still quite high. Even after a month of fatigue bombing, they are still not at all vigilant. There are still some people watching the sound above and below the city to confirm where the warning sound is coming from.
directional.
It's on the mountain!
However, after the first warning, the mountain fell into silence, as if no one made a sound at all. This is obviously not normal. If there is an enemy attack and they attack the mountain, even if they don't use fire, they will shout killing sounds and miserable
The cry should be continuous, how could it be silent?
You know, there was a full battalion of soldiers and horses stationed on the mountain, more than 2,000 people! They were all killed silently? Could it be that the people who came to attack by surprise were heavenly soldiers and generals?
After a few glances and curses, the generals on duty gave up and continued to observe.
It's so dark at night that you can't see anything, so you might as well stare at the tower. Although it's also not clear, the shadows that sometimes flash on the window lattice as the candlelight flickers are also very thought-provoking.
Captain Qi was actually quite innocent. With so many people on the mountain top, he was the only one who shouted out the warning before everyone else. His voice was loud and powerful, and his reaction was not unpleasant.
Of course he knew that just shouting was not enough, but the problem was that he really didn't dare to speak out.
Originally there were torches lighting up the top of the mountain, but just when they were looking forward to a better future, all the torches except those on the north side were extinguished, and before they knew it, they disappeared without a trace along with the guards on duty in the three directions.
No trace.
This realization made Captain Qi shudder.
Many of the people who were supposed to be on duty there had indeed gathered around him, but certainly not all of them. There were also many people who were lazing around in the lee, dozing off, or were content with their duties and just wanted to behave as soldiers and eat food.
,for example……
He suddenly shouted, the scream just now sounded familiar, yes, it belonged to Wu Laosan!
Wu Laosan's military position is not high, he is just a village commander. Among the twenty village commanders, he is an outlier. This man is very responsible and never participates in things that have nothing to do with military affairs. He works hard and without complaint, just like an old scalper.
Of course, this kind of alien is destined to be bullied, or in other words, everyone thinks it is bullying, but he himself has no such awareness.
He is naturally indispensable for the drudgery of keeping watch at night.
This person neither came over to chat, nor could he be lazy, he just disappeared, and there was a scream that seemed to be coming from him... An enemy attack, it must be an enemy attack!
As soon as the exclamation came out, Lieutenant Qi figured out the key to it. However, before he could take any further action, another sharp hissing sound suddenly sounded in the dark void with unknown depth!
The voice was not loud, but the speed was extremely fast. One moment, it was still in the depths of the vast void, and the next moment, it was right in front of you! It came in a flash like lightning, like a poisonous snake spitting a message, it was so fast that it was unbelievable!
"Chi chi chi..."
"Puff puff puff!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The neighing sound brought the smell of death. Although Colonel Qi had not fought many battles, he was not unfamiliar with this sound at all. It was the sound of sharp arrows entering the body!
Taking advantage of his own unpreparedness, he climbed up from the back mountain, quietly eliminated the slack sentries, extinguished the torches, and finally, unexpectedly bumped into Wu Laosan, who was doing his duty...
He was indeed a clever person who could see through Liu Dai's thoughts. In a flash of thought, Colonel Qi already knew what kind of danger he was facing.
The incoming attack is undoubtedly the Qingzhou Army!
Only this army is so keen on and good at night attacks. This is the glorious tradition left by its commander! The more favorable evidence is that this army is in a state of hostility with its own leader, and the other party has every reason to do so!
He was shouting wildly in his heart, but Colonel Qi didn't even dare to take a breath.
This night attack force is very scary, because all the people who make up this force are sharp archers!
Just because of his scream, these sharp archers lurking in the darkness unanimously aimed their targets. There was a dense darkness around them, at least dozens of them. After a round of arrows, half of them had fallen.
!
Many people turned their heads in shock after hearing the exclamation, only to be caught red-handed by the murderous intent coming from the darkness. Sharp arrows pierced deeply into their throats, hearts, and even faces.
Nothing is taken that is not vital.
The person who was hit by the arrow fell down without even making a sound. Those who survived were all shocked and stunned. They couldn't react for a while. They were clearly enjoying themselves a moment ago, but why did they become so happy in the blink of an eye?
What about Shura Field?
What should we do? Scream a warning? Or run away quickly? Anyway, we are not resisting on the spot. It’s a joke. We don’t even see what the enemy looks like or where we are, so why talk about fighting the enemy?
The time left for them was extremely short, one wave after another, the sharp neighing sound was continuous, and the second round of arrow rain quickly covered them, and those who were standing in a daze all turned over and fell,
Blood splatters!
Only those who were among the crowd and reacted quickly enough relied on the people outside to block the disaster for them and rolled to the ground in time, thus escaping. However, their disaster was far from over.
moment.
"Hurry, come quickly, the enemy... woo!" A military commander shouted loudly before he could stop his body. As a result, as soon as he shouted a few words, the rest of the words were sealed in his mouth and turned into a cry.
Sobbing, as if weeping for the loss of life.
What stopped him was a cold arrow! It shot straight into the mouth of the military commander, causing him to scream in agony.
This cold arrow was completely different from the previous two waves of arrows. Not only was it accurate, but it was also extremely fast. The arrow broke through the air and emitted not a hissing sound, but a roar like thunder!
The arrow entered from the mouth, and the whistling sound was incessant. The huge force carried by the arrow directly knocked the unlucky guy upside down, and then slid far away.
He is also a professional shooter. If he hears the sound in the dark, he will hit it, because of his name. Looking at this shocking scene, Qi Xiaowei took a breath of air-conditioning and felt chilled from the heart. At the same time, a sentence suddenly came out.
flashed through my mind.
Shesheng, yes, it is the Shesheng Battalion! The Northern Army's Shesheng Battalion has long been unworthy of its name, but its style is correct. It searches for sounds in the dark and fires arrows in vain.
Others may not have the same insight as him, but they also felt trembling. No one tried to raise a warning sound, but just rolled desperately on the ground, trying to find cover or any safe place to escape this murder.
It was true that they were daring, but they had no intention of speaking out. Several generals, including Colonel Qi, rolled down the slope of the top of the mountain directly to the foot of the mountain.
The mountain is not high, and the slopes are not trembling. It rolls down in the dark, with mud, sand and rocks falling down, and the sound is chaotic. Qingzhou's sharp archers may not be able to get it accurately.
The troops in the military camp on the top of the mountain cannot be counted on. They are originally a patchwork of ragtag troops. After most of the officers were killed, they lost their command. In such a situation, what role can they play? It is lucky not to collapse at the first touch.
Staying at the top of the mountain will lead to a dead end. The best way is to quickly go down the mountain to report the news and then assemble a large force to counterattack.
There should not be many night attack troops in Qingzhou. It is impossible for a large group of people to avoid the surrounding eyes and ears. At least some news will be spread. According to the intelligence that came during the day, the suspected soldiers from Licheng are still hundreds of miles away. Even if they fly, they will not be able to
Fly to Chiping!
What's more, Qingzhou's main force is fighting fiercely with Cao Cao in Leping, and it is impossible to suddenly appear south of Chiping.
What will come will only be a small raid force, just like the Yellow Turban Army who raided Duchang City that day. They want to defeat the crowd with their strength! If you want to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Yellow Turban Army, the most important thing is to keep order and not give the enemy any trouble.
Opportunity to raid.
With such determination, he and several of his comrades rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, the sharp archer on the top of the mountain gave up the pursuit, giving them hope of escaping; unfortunately, the archer on the hillside gave up the pursuit.
The vegetation, soil and rocks caused them to suffer a lot.
As the world spins, the pounding and muffled sounds in the ears are endless. No matter how gentle it is, it is still a mountain. Rolling down in the darkness is equally dangerous, but it is not as desperate as hanging on the top of the mountain.
I don't know how long it took, but Lieutenant Qi finally escaped to the bottom of the mountain. Holding back the blood boiling in his chest and abdomen, he was shocked to hear shouts of killing coming from the top of the mountain.
"How is it possible? If they didn't take advantage of the situation to attack the army below the city, why did they start fighting on the top of the mountain?"
"Has...did anyone hear the noise?" The voice was a little weak, and it was obvious that the speaker was still staring at stars.
"Such a coincidence?" Captain Qi was a little unbelievable. With a small number of enemies, the most important thing was to create chaos and expand the chaos. There were only two thousand people on the top of the mountain. After being attacked, collapse was inevitable, but the direction of the deserters' escape was
But it is difficult to control. If you can't drive the troops into battle, how can you expand the chaos?
By the time the camp at the foot of the mountain is fully prepared, wouldn't this assault have failed?
How could Qingzhou, who was trained by Wang Pengju, make such a low-level mistake? They were very organized in the early stages of their raid, right?
"Anyway, hurry up and report the news to the city. The people on the mountain won't be able to hold on for long. It would be terrible if they are killed."
"That's what you said... Let's go."
Lieutenant Qi finally looked up and saw that fire had been set on the mountain. The raiding troops did not seem to have the intention of driving the broken troops into the formation and further expanding the chaos. They just launched a rapid attack and killing.
The defeated soldiers were obviously dizzy, and figures kept flashing past the edge of the mountain top. They were shaking and shouting, or died from swords and arrows, or fell from the top of the mountain. Their screams and begging for mercy resounded throughout the sky. , even the big shots in the city tower were alarmed.
The sound of reciting poems and poems stopped, the distant sound of silk and bamboo finally stopped, and the cold night of early winter began to boil. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
