Chapter 114 Head-on

Liu Yaoben chewed a green grass leaf in his mouth, and the bitter grass juice penetrated into his mouth, which cheered him up. The coldness of the spring night was still very heavy. There was a thin layer of dew on his body, and in the dark moonlight, it slightly emitted a cold light.

In the grass under the slope behind him, there were more than a hundred Xingtian army members who were also wearing iron armor faintly lying down. Everyone lay on the ground without saying a word. If they didn't get close to their eyes, it would be difficult to find their whereabouts.

The movements of the officers and soldiers in the past two days have been in the hands of Liu Yaoben. The scouts kept giving feedback on the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers. After discussing with his generals, Liu Yaoben resolutely decided that he could not take a desperate approach to deal with these officers and soldiers who were far more than several times more than them.

Instead, it is necessary to take the initiative to counterattack the officers and soldiers. They can't give all the initiative to the officers and soldiers. Therefore, on the night when the officers and soldiers arrived at the entrance of the official road, Liu Yaoben selected 100 dead soldiers by voluntary registration in the army. After nightfall, they avoided it by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain in this area. The open and dark whistles placed by the officers and soldiers outside the camp and the wandering night lurked behind this small hill.

Under the hill is the camp of the officers and soldiers. More than 10,000 officers and soldiers are crowded in this not-open valley, making the battalion of officers and soldiers very crowded.

Originally, the Lu area is basically mountainous, with ups and downs everywhere, and there are few open flat land. Even officials and Taoism are basically cultivated in the valley. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses are squeezed in here, and they have to camp and rest. It is really difficult for these officers and soldiers.

Maybe it's because they have too many troops. Whether it's Cao Wenyao or Yu Fuxiang, they haven't thought about whether the enemy will attack them at night when they are stationed here. After all, the military strength of the two sides is too different. I'm afraid that the thieves are not enough to defend themselves, so they have never considered this matter.

Liu Yaoben lay in the grass and endured the deep chill brought by the dew wet clothes. He carefully observed the army camp below. When he saw the noise in the camp gradually subsided, the light bulbs also began to go out, leaving only a few vigil soldiers walking back and forth at the gate. He I looked at the sky and calculated the time.

At this time, a man quietly climbed to Liu Yaoben's side, looked at the officers and soldiers camp below, and whispered to Liu Yaoben, "Shir! It's been two days, and the brothers are a little anxious to wait! When are you going to do it?

Liu Yaoben picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. He shook his head slightly and replied in a very low voice, "No! You go down and let your brothers endure it. It's too early now. Most of the officers and soldiers have not yet fallen asleep, and they will wake up immediately after a little movement! At least wait until the third update! Whoever is sleepy will chew some grass leaves. What the hell is this? It's bitter, but it's very refreshing!"

The young descendant who climbed to Liu Yaoben reached out and took a grass leaf and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, his bitter face was out of shape, and his mouth was dripping. He clicked slightly and said, "What is it! It's as bitter as Huang Lian! But it's really refreshing! OK, everything is up to your orders, sir!"

After saying that, he carefully climbed back and passed on Liu Yaoben's words.

Half of all the soldiers who volunteered to sign up this time, half of them carried two Thunderbolt bullets on their bodies. In addition, each of them also carried a few torches and a small jar of fire oil. The weapons were each with a wild geese knife, and the other half carried a rattan card and a single knife, among which more than a dozen people carried Bow or hard crossbow, this part of people will act as a striker, open the way for others, cover others to rush into the official barracks and cause damage. What everyone does has been arranged before departure.

The knife in their hands has a common feature, that is, the knife body has no sign of glittering. Everyone's knives are all black. Obviously, before departure, the knife body has been completely smoked black on the oil lamp, so as not to reflect light in the night and be found by the enemy in advance. Even the white feathers on the guards and Shi Chang's helmets were put away, so that they were lying here, and no one could easily find them.

The time passed minute by, and it seemed to be very long. Some people were a little numb with cold, but they still insisted on lying motionless in the grass nest, waiting for Liu Yaoben's order to come down.

I don't know how long it took to wait. Liu Yao slowly climbed down from above and whispered to the brothers who were lying in the grass nest, "Okay! This is the time! The third day has arrived! Brothers, it's time to start! Everyone, be careful. I won't say anything else. If the brothers can't come back today, your family general will take good care of them and won't make them suffer! It's a pity that I can't go with you this time. Please do everything!"

The young man who asked Liu Yao for instructions smiled and said, "Shir, don't say more! We all know what to do. If you talk too much, you will be pretentious! Sir, you'd better go back quickly and leave it to us! It's all there. Check the equipment!"

The dead men were not pretentious. They all silently nodded to Liu Yaoben in the dark to show their feelings. Then they finally lowered their heads and checked the armor on their bodies. The rattan players put down the rattan cards in their hands, found the cloth from their arms, and tied the single knife to themselves. On his right hand, he tied a white cloth strip to everyone's left arm to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy in the chaos.

And those soldiers with torches, Thunderbolt bullets and fire oil tanks, all took out the fire folds in the pipe in their arms, and also checked the things on their bodies. Then no one spoke and silently saluted Liu Yao, and then jumped out of the grass, one after another towards the officers and soldiers. The camp hurried away.

Looking at these men who disappeared in the dark, Liu Yaoben also silently raised his hand to salute their backs, then gritted his teeth and turned around with a few guards, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The reason why Liu Yaoben did not personally lead the team to attack the camp is actually very simple, that is his responsibility. Ren is different from others. As the chief general of Lushi County, he can't easily put himself in danger. Once he makes a mistake, the morale of the soldiers under his command will be greatly frustrated, and this battle will not be able to continue.

Although Liu Yao really wanted to take them to do this, he finally overcame the impulse and handed over the attack camp to him to lead the team, but he still had to return to the official road and command the rest of the soldiers to continue to prepare for the battle.

The officers and soldiers guarding the camp stood lazily at the gate. Perhaps because no one would have thought that Xing Tianjun would take the initiative to attack their officers and soldiers under such circumstances, so the number of left-behind night patrol soldiers was very limited. Everyone was ordered to lie down and rest after eating early according to Cao Wenyao's instructions. Just wait until tomorrow to break through the defense line of the Xingtian Army of Guandaokou, enter Lushi County, and completely destroy the thief's nest.

In addition, no one was allowed to wander around in the camp at night. In this way, except for a few roars of beasts and owls from the distant mountains from time to time, it was basically quiet in the camp, but the snoring of soldiers everywhere in the tent.

The rush from Hangu Pass to here in the past two days has made these officers and soldiers who lack training really tired. In addition, there are basically ups and downs all the mountain roads along the way, which aggravates the physical consumption. At this time, except for a few neuropathic guys who can't sleep, the rest of the officers and soldiers have already slept one by one. It's like a dead pig.

Suddenly there was a buzz in the night. Several officers and soldiers guarding the gate pricked up their ears to identify the source of the sound. Only a clever soldier suddenly realized what the sound was, because he could hear that the sound was the sound of the bow string, and it suddenly appeared outside the gate in the middle of the night. Naturally, he knew what the sound meant. When he was about to shout for warning, more than a dozen arrows rushed out of the night sky like lightning. Even if an arrow shot into his neck, Shengsheng blocked his exclamation in his throat, but several other officers and soldiers screamed while hitting the arrow.

"Enemy attack...Enemy attack..." The injured or uninjured gatekeepers shouted together and searched for the enemy's traces in the dark in a panic.

A group of people held their shields and suddenly rushed out of the darkness. No one shouted to kill. Everyone silently waved the weapons in their hands and rushed to the door. Looking at these evil spirits appearing in front of them like evil spirits in the dark, the timid officers and soldiers were so scared that their hands and feet softened. Come on, he didn't even have the strength to turn around and escape. He watched a black knife touch their necks and take their lives in an instant.

However, there were also a small number of experienced officers and soldiers who immediately figured out the situation. While shouting for warning, they blocked the gate with guns and knives. The officers and soldiers like them who were responsible for guarding the gate. Once the gate was attacked, they would be cut off as much as possible, so some officers and soldiers still launched a counterattack.

But after all, things are in a hurry, and the number of gatekeepers and officers and soldiers is not large. First, they were hit by a round of arrow rain and injured a group of people, and the rest were scared and dumbfounded. The counterattack of only a few clear officers and soldiers seemed so pale and weak, and the thieves who attacked the camp were as real as crazy tigers. Obviously, some officers and soldiers had already used The long gun stabbed them, but these people, as if they didn't know the pain, continued to wave their single knife desperately and cut the soldiers who stabbed them to the ground.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate only supported for a moment, and were killed by the thieves attacking the camp. The rest of the officers and soldiers were so scared that they turned around and fled to the camp. At this time, the sentry on the Arrow Tower of the gate knocked on the copper gong of the alarm and began to shoot arrows to try to stop these thieves. The army rushed into the camp.

However, these thieves raised their shields, covered the arrows they shot, and poured into the army camp like a group of fierce ghosts, and quickly dispersed into several streams of people. In an instant, they disappeared in the black hole's army camp.

(Happy New Year's Day to my brothers! Everyone made a fortune in the new year, and then gave me a lot of rewards after responding to my good words! Haha!)
