It was a murderous night with a dark moon and high winds. The system probably chose a cloudy day tonight to meet the needs of the mission, hiding the moon behind the dark clouds.
In this dynasty, there was no moon or stars at night, and the wilderness was really dark.
Fortunately, the camp where everyone was located was illuminated by torches, but that was all.
About ten meters away from the camp, the deep night swallowed up all the light, like a man-hungry monster.
The team's size was maintained at about a hundred people. After making military exploits in the county, it actually alerted Yizhou Liu Yan. This trip was heading towards Yizhou and incorporated into the Yizhou Prefectural Army. To put it bluntly, it was to be put into a larger army. Fighting on the battlefield, fighting in the county is a bit humiliating.
The army is mainly composed of three parts. One part is the private soldiers brought by Zhang Fei from Zhuozhou City. They are all direct descendants of Zhang Fei's men. Together with the seven people in the group, the total is more than half.
The second part is the veterans in the original army. The captain who is nominally the leader of this team is among them. In addition to the veterans who know more about war, they can make tactical arrangements and receive combat orders from their superiors. They have seen the blood and cruelty of war and know better. How to lead these new recruits to survive.
However, the captain obviously did not expect that the soldiers recruited this time could actually have such fighting power. With Zhang Tanglin, the military officer, and Liu Liang, the literary officer, he became the most idle person. After a few battles, he also I have to admit that these people are beyond my control.
Soldiers are straightforward. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, this captain admires everyone's abilities, and now he also seems to be the leader of everyone.
As for the military merits, both the team and Liu, Guan, and Zhang looked at it relatively indifferently. As long as it was not excessive, it was nothing.
So the two get along pretty well with each other.
The third part is the recruits other than these two parties. Whether these people feel that they are passionate and want to serve their country, or they are desperate and make a living in the army, their quality is extremely uneven. In the past few days, Battle losses also come from this part.
This group has the smallest number of people, accounting for less than one-fifth of the entire team.
Since they were of little use in actual battles, the captain assigned them to be responsible for such trivial matters as night patrols, guarding camp gates, and setting up camp.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of China was only over 20 million, and the wilderness and mountains were inaccessible to people. Four words can best describe it: vast land and sparsely populated areas.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Rebel Army can harass every day, which proves that the movements of this group are always under the surveillance of the other party.
The captain may not understand this, so he probably thinks that the Yellow Turban Army has too many people now and is arrogant and rampant.
But everyone in the team and Liu Guanzhang all felt like a mirror.
After Qi Zhen was extremely sure that someone would attack the camp tonight, everyone did not ask him how he knew it, but unanimously chose to sleep in armor.
Since they are in the army, the team will naturally not stand out from the crowd at this time. They have always been wearing the military's standard armor, no different from Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
As for why they should sleep instead of waiting for the other party to attack the camp, according to Guan Yu, it is not necessary, because waiting for the night to urinate is noisy, and they think too highly of them.
Qi Zhenxin said that Guan Erye's arrogance is really an innate talent. If he knew that he would die because of this character in the end, would he change it slightly?
At the third watch of the day, everything is silent.
The woods surrounding the camp began to make rhythmic rustling sounds.
If someone could fire a flare into the sky, it would be a terrifying sight.
A dense crowd of men in black were slowly surrounding the camp. They tried their best to hide the movement under their feet, but they inevitably caused some friction with the vegetation around their feet.
The sound made by one person is difficult to detect, and the sounds made by so many people are a bit scary. If Qi Zhen hears it, she will definitely think of the snake tide she saw in Yuemeng Mountain.
These men in black were hidden outside the camp’s torch light source, only about ten meters away from the camp.
The two soldiers standing guard outside the door were obviously stragglers who had recently joined the team. Their organization and discipline were a mess. They were leaning on the spears in their hands and sleeping very soundly.
The leading man in black was overjoyed. As long as he could sneak into the camp quietly, wouldn't those people be just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered?
He waved his hand silently, and two strong-looking colleagues rushed out from behind him and approached the two soldiers.
The dagger in his hand glowed with cold light.
brush! brush!
Two men in black covered the mouths of the two soldiers and gently placed the bodies with their throats cut on the ground without making any sound.
Then they gestured outward.
Then these men in black finally revealed themselves.
Nearly three hundred people came out of the darkness, and the open space around the camp was almost occupied by them!
Unexpectedly, the system was so generous that it sent three times as many enemy troops as our own to attack the camp. Why was there a need for a sneak attack? Even an honest camp attack will cause a very serious blow to this team.
The leading man in black didn't speak. He narrowed his eyes and made a gesture, instructing everyone to follow the plan.
The men in black under his command began to enter the camp one by one.
According to his idea, he should wait until everyone is standing in the camp, give an order, raise the sword in his hand, and the team of one hundred people will be removed from this world forever in an instant.
Before he could even begin to imagine the moving rewards he would receive after achieving such great military exploits, the men in black who entered the camp came out one after another, looking at him with confused expressions.
The leader's heart skipped a beat.
Before he could ask questions, those people spoke one after another: "There is no one in the tent."
no one? No way, this group of soldiers almost never leaves his sight, how could there be no one there? Could it be that they knew someone was attacking the camp tonight and ran away in advance?
Just as he was stunned, countless stars fell from above their heads!
No one noticed the evil coming from the stars, and it was only after the first wave fell that these people reacted.
Naturally, what fell was not a star, but a rocket!
Those rockets came from the sky. At first glance, they really looked like stars falling from the sky.
It's just that the lethality of these stars is really not small.
In order to attack the camp quietly, these men in black naturally did not wear armor with strong protective capabilities but extremely loud noises.
So the first wave of rockets took away nearly one-third of the lives of the people in black!
It was a massacre!
"Enemy attack!"
When the second wave of arrows fell, miserable cries rang out from the men in black, but it was already too late.
In addition to preparing rockets as a gift for them in the camp, those empty tents will naturally not be wasted.
As soon as the rocket hit the tent, it burst into flames. It was actually doused with kerosene!
The kerosene on the tent is not scary, but the scary thing is that the amount of kerosene on the ground is much greater than the amount on the tent!
The camp suddenly burst into flames!
The leader in black panicked and hurriedly shouted for retreat, retreat, retreat, and then he took the lead and rushed out of the camp.
At this time, there were less than a hundred people following him.
Outside the camp, the soldiers who should have been sleeping in the camp at this time were waiting for them there in full formation.
The leader's teeth were almost broken. He didn't understand how the other party knew that he was going to lead people to attack the camp tonight, but he knew that he was defeated, and it was a complete mess.
"Ho! Roar! Roar!"
A huge roar suddenly sounded from the army, instantly frightening countless birds and making these men in black tremble.
On one side, the enemy was waiting in full formation, and on the other side, there were flames rising into the sky and the miserable cries of his comrades. Even the Yellow Turban Army, which had experienced battles for a long time, was panicking and fearful to the extreme.
"Fight them! Kill!" The leader in black gritted his teeth and shouted suddenly.
The followers also knew that if they didn't fight hard, they would die, but if they tried hard, they might still have a chance to survive, so they all raised their sharp knives and rushed towards the opponent.
In the final analysis, this counter-sneak attack brought the numbers of both sides to the same level. In a face-to-face battle with gongs and drums, the outcome is still uncertain.
If Liu Guan, Zhang Lin, Tang Qi and Liang were not here.
Therefore, both the sergeants on the small team and the Yellow Turban Army who attacked the camp knew very well that in a hundred people versus a hundred people, there would be no suspense about the outcome.
However, as the saying goes, if you work hard, you may have a way to survive, but if you don't work hard, it will definitely be a dead end.
You must know that the heads of the Yellow Turban Army can be exchanged for military merit.
No one noticed that after the leading man in black shouted these words, he took several of his direct soldiers and fled to the rear while taking advantage of the chaos.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed in the face-to-face charge, and there was no doubt about the outcome of the battle. One side was wearing armor, and the other side was not. One side was commanded by Liang Sicheng on the spot, and the leader of the other side ran away. One side's military appearance was neat, and the other side was like a frightened bird. , there is Liu Guanzhang on one side...
It was not a bloody battle, but the entire Yellow Turban Army was finally wiped out by the entire group at the cost of injuring more than a dozen soldiers.
"I didn't expect you to be so predictable that you could know that the other party was coming to attack the camp. Oh my God, there must be nearly three hundred people here. I'm afraid that the whole of Yizhou will be able to boast of their achievements. If the soldiers are like If you are like this, why should you worry about the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" The captain said with admiration for Liang Sicheng who commanded from beginning to end.
Whether it was leaving an empty camp for the opponent, or later burning the barracks, or the final siege and intimidation, it was all the work of this young man.
He definitely didn't understand the game as deeply as Qi Zhen, but he still generously claimed the merit and said softly: "There will be great achievements in the future, and your benefits are indispensable."
In the night, Qi Zhen and Lin Biao followed the men in black and fled into the distance.
