"Brother Zhang, should we wait here until night and then attack at night?"
While resting in a hidden place, Wang Jing asked in a low voice.
When Li Shuo and Jiang Zhixiong heard this, they also turned to look at Zhang Hun.
"How can it be?"
"Night raids are usually done when there is no other way... No matter how good our eyes are at night, we can't see far, and there are tens of thousands of people in the White Lotus Sect camp. If there is a riot in the camp, we are very likely to be kidnapped. !”
"The best way to deal with this kind of rabble is to find the right moment to suddenly rush in, kill the leader, and shock the rest."
What Zhang Hun said was not very clear.
But Wang Jing understood what he wanted to express.
Night attacks are a last resort, and they often target well-trained elite soldiers, and are used as a way to turn the tables when they are weak.
If one's side is strong, the opponent is a mob.
Using night attacks will cause the opponent to blow up the camp. In this case, there is no need to expect prisoners. Most of the enemies will fight each other and then flee randomly. I can't control it at all.
The Beggar Army sent troops north this time, on the one hand, to eliminate the threat to the north, and on the other hand, to receive the people captured by the White Lotus Sect.
The population is nearly 10,000 people, plus the original 2,000 people of the beggar army. There are more than ten thousand people.
This kind of scale could already be established as a county in the era of the Beggar Army.
"Just wait, according to previous practice, the captain will probably launch a surprise attack while the opponent is making a fire for cooking!"
"You all get ready!"
Zhang Hun said in a low voice.
As he said, towards evening, the team leader Sha Zhen came in person and asked everyone to prepare for war.
At this time, the pale red sunset illuminates the sky.
In the distance, on the outskirts of the White Lotus Sect camp, a large number of old, weak, women and children were lying feebly in the shacks with dirty faces.
Most of the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect were making fires and cooking in the fence camp, and no one paid attention to the old, weak, women and children outside.
Among them, some frail old men and women quietly exhaled their last breath amidst hunger, thirst, fatigue, and pain.
Compared with the last time Wang Jing came.
The interior of the White Lotus Sect camp has not changed much, and there are even many more houses.
The sound of men's heavy breathing and women's gasping could be heard faintly in the house.
The ordinary people who were not allowed to enter the camp and were still being squeezed looked extremely depressed. Only a small number of attractive women can enter the camp.
Their eyes lost their light and became a little numb.
Wang Jing even saw a row of bloody corpses hanging on wooden piles at the edge of the camp. Apparently these were people who were killed for resisting and were hung up to frighten others.
"He is indeed a thief!"
After Wang Jing integrated some inherited powers, his physical fitness was comparable to that of Zhang Hun and others, and his five senses and six senses, including his strength and hearing, were also comprehensively improved.
He could clearly see the movement in the camp from a distance.
The White Lotus cultists in front of them are soldiers of the Red Scarf Army, but they have no ambition and responsibility to pray for the people and save all people from fire and water.
Ordinary people who are originally at the lowest level often act more excessively than those corrupt officials after gaining power through violent means.
Robbing people's sex, humiliating women, killing innocent people indiscriminately, exploiting people, burning, killing and looting...
Only those who are truly ambitious and have goals can appease the people and compete for their hearts and minds! This is also the fundamental reason why many rebel armies and peasant armies in history were unable to conquer the world.
"Prepare for battle!"
Sha Zhen ordered in a low voice.
At this time.
Colonel Ran Liang and his dismounted cavalry were at the rear. The five hundred soldiers and horses on the left were divided into two directions and charged into the White Lotus Sect camp from the left and right.
Wang Jing followed Zhang Man, bending over and walking forward quickly.
After a while, they took the lead to leave the hidden area and came to the west of the camp. Some people saw the old, weak, women and children in the periphery, and their expressions changed slightly, but no one shouted.
Sha Zhen quickly arrived near the camp with his fifty people.
"shoot!"
Sha Zhen waved his hand, and Zhang Hun and other people who were good at bows and arrows immediately raised their long bows. Wang Jing was among them. A dozen people bent their bows and drew arrows, each aiming at the sentry at the edge of the camp.
Swish, swish, swish! More than a dozen feather arrows shot through the air and hit the target immediately.
ah!
A dozen White Lotus Sect sentries suddenly let out shrill screams and rolled to the ground one after another.
They were all hit by arrows in their vital organs, and they screamed a few times before gradually losing their breath.
kill! Sha Zhen rushed forward with a ring-head knife in his hand, slashed the hemp rope binding the fence with his knife, and kicked a gap in one side of the fence.
"Come in!"
Zhang Hun put down his bow and arrow, greeted the people around him, roared and rushed into the camp after him. Wang Jing followed Li Shuo carefully, never leaving the team easily.
"Someone is attacking the camp!"
The White Lotus priests in the camp were lighting a fire to cook. Their military discipline was lax and they were completely unprepared for the attack. After two men from the beggar army rushed into the camp, they reacted like they were waking up from a dream.
Many White Lotus priests hurriedly looked for weapons and became a mess.
At this time, the elite beggar army had already entered the crowd.
Poof!
The elite members of the begging army were all very calm. Their swords turned into spears, and they quickly killed the White Lotus priests who stood in front of them, chopping melons and vegetables.
Blood splattered, broken limbs flew, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people fell to the ground dead.
The fighting prowess displayed by the elite of the Beggar Army made the other White Lotus soldiers extremely fearful. They were just ordinary people before. How could they have seen such brave and elite troops?
There were shouts of killing, screams, and the din was overwhelming.
After all, the core elites of the White Lotus Sect were only a minority. The ordinary White Lotus soldiers did not have a strong will at all. They were quickly killed by the elites of the beggar army and retreated. They were constantly driven away and fled towards the back.
The elite beggar army who launched the attack on the other side also rushed into the camp and killed the White Lotus priests until they retreated.
At this moment.
Qianhu from the White Lotus Sect finally appeared.
He put on his armor and stood in the center of the camp holding a spear. He looked at the two elites coldly, like crabs, fiercely stretching out their pincers to attack the camp.
This sudden enemy, with elite soldiers, would be able to kill him in a short time.
"Send my military order, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"Zhang Qianhu, Zhou Qianhu! You each bring three hundred elite soldiers to stabilize the camp and stop these people from me!"
When Qianhu of the White Lotus Sect saw that his subordinates had gathered a team, they quickly dispatched the only elites they had.
The two White Lotus Sect deputy Qianhu immediately took orders and each led people to support the east and west sides.
At this moment.
Ran Liang, who had been observing the movement of the camp from a distance, showed a smile.
White Lotus Sect Qianhu's side is already empty.
"Mount!"
Ran Liang gave a low shout, then turned over and mounted a war horse. Twenty cavalrymen also mounted their horses and raised their spears.
boom!
Ran Liang charged into the battle in person, the horses' hooves trampled the ground, and a dull vibration and roar sounded. Even in the camp where the shouts of killing were soaring, this vibration could be heard.
"not good!"
Qianhu of the White Lotus Sect is also a veteran on the battlefield. Before coming to this world, he often heard the sound of the Mongolian cavalry's hooves. When he heard the sound of the ground shaking, he immediately realized the danger.
He really didn't expect it.
When I come to this world, I will encounter cavalry breaking out of the camp!
