The journey of sixteen miles can be described as frightening. Even if there are many people, Han You always feels like there is something staring at him in the dark, ready to take a bite at any time.
The more he got to know "Mountain Forest", the more Han You admired the soldiers of Xiaoqi Camp.
Among the six camps of the border army, the Xiaoqi Battalion is the only one that often goes into the mountains and forests to patrol, explore, and update maps.
The Fanman tribe was forced to live in the mountains and forests, and had no other place to go.
Xiaoqi camp is different. Xiaoqi camp is all Han Chinese. They are used to stepping on the loess land, used to the thickness of the earth when their feet step on it, used to the blazing sun shining on their backs, and used to the vast expanse of sight as far as the eye can see.
Once you join the army, you have to endure things that ordinary people cannot. Gradually, you get used to it, because they are in the army.
Let a group of men in the pass wander in and out of the mountains and forests like savages all day long, and the only ones who have no regrets are the soldiers.
All people in the world and all jobs will leave once they lose their wages. It’s fine if they don’t curse. There is only one kind of person and one kind of job. Not to mention losing their wages, they will not leave even if they lose their lives. Leave, soldiers, only soldiers!
After walking for nearly an hour in a short distance of sixteen miles, everyone finally saw the clouded leopard's camp.
The camp was stationed next to a gurgling creek. For some reason from nature, the place was extremely empty, as if a ghost had appeared in the thick and lush hair, bald.
The camp is not big, covering more than half of a football field. There are no horses or wooden fences erected next to it. There are many torches and bright lights. In addition to lighting, it can also drive away mosquitoes and wild beasts.
Yi Junyi and others sneered again and again. They were so close to the border and they were setting up camp so arrogantly. This was because they did not take the border troops, especially the Xiaoqi Camp, seriously.
There were no tents in the camp, and many Leopard tribesmen slept on the ground. At most, there was a huge sewn animal skin spread on the ground.
The distance was about a hundred feet, so Yi Junyi ordered them to disperse, forming an encirclement.
The reason why the Fanman are called savages is because they actually have many abilities that the Han people do not have. For example, their sentries are not on the ground, but on the trees. They step on the thick branches with bare feet and stand high to see far away. If it’s half a day, you’ll be able to see everything happening.
Three thousand people dispersed, silently forming an encirclement in the darkness, shrinking like a silent noose.
The Leopard tribe in the camp did not know that a group of uninvited guests were approaching the camp, a group of uninvited guests eager to drink blood.
Yi Junyi asked the archer with better eyesight to approach first, and Feng Bai also joined in, carrying a long bow to do what he was best at.
Han You didn't go to the battle in person, and no one else would allow it.
Crouching in the grass, Han You was lying when he said he wasn't nervous. He had seen soldiers fighting at the city gate before. The fighting was more straightforward, rougher, more intense, and more bloody.
Unlike now, where fighting can break out at any time, this kind of battle is not about mindlessly drawing a bow and shooting arrows on the city wall, nor is it relying on the city wall to poke down the enemy trying to climb the wall with a spear or spear, but a face-to-face and close-range fight, all relying on bravery. , depends on the robe, but also depends on luck.
Only Feng Bai of the Yidao Guard came forward, while the others gathered around Han You, not daring to breathe.
Everyone here counts. Except for Wang Haihai, who was born as a scout, everyone else is good at the kind of open and close battle formations. Such a night raid is the first time for an old woman to go to the kang.
In fact, in ancient battle formations, there were few large-scale sneak attacks. The army was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands of pigs. The main purpose of sneak attacks was to kill tens of thousands of people quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. A pig, no matter how fast it is, it will take several hours.
Along the way, the chirping of insects that was intermittent just now disappeared without a trace.
A dark cloud appeared in the night sky, blocking the dim moonlight.
A few dark clouds with strange shapes are like the door to another world, ready to welcome the soul.
The wind became louder and louder, and the air was filled with some unexplainable smell.
It seemed like only a moment had passed, or a century had passed. When Han You heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the fight began!
It only took half a second to go from stillness to movement, from restrained silence to wild fighting, from light breathing to violent panting.
A sharp arrow was shot from the darkness towards the temporary camp of the Leopard Division. The sound of arrow feathers streaking through the air, the sound of arrows traveling through the darkness, the sound of the arrow tip piercing the skin and rubbing against the bones, these sounds became tonight The only prelude to this massacre.
Three thousand light cavalry, all carrying longbows, the dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the stormy arrows blocked the dark clouds.
A series of cold and ruthless faces were revealed in the darkness, with no change in their eyes. They drew the bow, pulled the string, took out the arrows, and then drew the bow and pulled the string again. They mechanically repeated the same action to harvest the living things one by one. The sharp arrow was shot in the camp
Almost in an instant, at least 30% of the approximately 800 people in the Leopard tribe's camp closed their eyes, and most of the aliens did not know what happened before they died.
A long arrow shoots faster and faster.
The distance is getting closer.
The smell of blood became more and more pungent.
The cavalrymen who had emptied their quivers quickly drew out their long swords, and the cold light dazzled everyone. They had drank the blood of many foreign races. Today would not be the first time, and it would not be the last time either.
Yi Junyi rushed into the camp with his personal entourage, and the entire camp was surrounded by water. The heaviest note of the night of strangulation fell, resounding in this most primitive and most barbaric mountain forest.
The heroic frontier troops showed a look and bloodthirsty state that Han You had never seen before.
Those soldiers who look honest and honest.
Those soldiers who laughed like children during the New Year after eating meat.
Those soldiers who followed Han You on the city top and sang unknown songs, howling like ghosts and wolves.
When they pulled out their long knives, Hua was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, the knives were like sharp fangs, their eyes were like red pupils with blood mist, and the words "kill" shook the heaven and the earth.
The word "kill" is flying, the sound is loud, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it is even more frightening. The dismounted cavalry are more brave than the infantry. In fact, those who can become cavalry are the best selected among the infantry. By.
The two sides suddenly came into contact with each other. It looked like a melee, but the frontier troops advanced and retreated in a coordinated manner.
Killing intentionally or unintentionally, sharpening the knife, full of murderous intent, strangulation, sleepiness, and unpreparedness.
I can hear the swords clashing and ringing at close range.
From a distance, the arrow feathers can be seen penetrating the skin and bones.
In the camp, blood was falling like rain, and the long sword would turn red when it was swung. The frontier Qingqi, who had formed an encirclement, became more and more courageous as they fought.
On the first day of the meeting, the eight hundred barbarians suffered a sudden loss of 50%. Just as Tan Ma said, they were all young and strong, and the barbarians were all young and strong.
In the center of the camp, there was a sudden roar. Two men as tall as iron towers, holding long sticks and giant axes, joined the battle group. They were tall and imposing, and their naked bodies were covered with interlaced scars.
There are two of them, black as coal, covered with scars and totems, they are the "warriors" of the Leopard Division.
Not everyone among the barbarians is qualified to be called a "warrior". The so-called warriors are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles in the mountains, fighting against the sky, the earth, the beasts, and the tribesmen.
In the past, this kind of warrior was the one who held the battle, ascended first, and supervised the army when knocking at the pass. But in the Han army, he was like a captain or even a deputy general and a general. It is difficult for non-brave warriors to be competent.
The frontier troops formed an encirclement. Seeing that once the east and south sides were connected, they could penetrate. The two barbarian warriors were like two huge rocks falling into the calm lake. They held long sticks and giant axes and rammed into them like bulldozers. Yi Junyi, who was closest to the camp.
Yi Junyi's expression didn't change. He withdrew his long sword half an inch and was about to meet him. Two long arrows, one in front and one in back, passed by his right ear.
There were two loud booms, and the two warriors in the Fanman camp fell on their backs, with their weapons falling on both sides.
The white wind on the trees is hidden in the darkness, hiding merit and fame.
In the darkness, Feng Bai's arms kept moving, pulling the bow and shooting the arrow in one go. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and the arrows were fired without missing a beat. One barbarian after another fell under his arrows.
Han You raised his head and breathed coldly.
Fortunately, when I had a conflict with this guy before, he hadn't even issued a long bow yet.
The battle has been one-sided from the beginning. Win is certain, it depends on the damage, which is what Han You is most worried about.
