Chapter 1 The Rising Sun Section 9

Ke Ji's troops hurried for a day's journey, and the soldiers were very tired. After dinner, everyone fell asleep except for the sergeant in charge of the guard.

Tatsukowai in the night is very quiet. The cool night breeze occasionally blew the sneezing of the war horse into the air and drifted with the wind. Unknown insects chirped uncontrollably in the grass.

There is no moon in the sky, and you can't see your fingers. In order to be able to see a little further, the patrolling soldiers lit more than a dozen bonfires around the barracks, and the burning flames emitted a scorching light, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of paces.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves, as rapid as rolling thunder, sounded from afar. The soldiers who were patrolling around were startled and hurriedly gathered outside the camp in groups of three or five. The mournful sound of the alarm horn resounded through the night.

The camp suddenly boiled, and people shouted and neighed, and there was a mess. The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were called out from their tents by officers of all ranks, and they rushed out of the tents with swearing, and quickly gathered together, making all kinds of preparations to deal with the enemy's surprise attack and robbery of the camp.

Ke Zhi rushed out of the camp tent, flew on his horse, and did not even put on his clothes, followed by a large group of untidy generals, attendants, and heralds, and everyone rushed out of the camp in a chaotic roar.

The first thing that catches your eye is a red dot, which stands out in the night. The red dot moves very fast. It didn't take long for it to turn into a loose swath of jumping fire. Judging by the distribution of torches, the enemy cavalry of the attacking battalion was at least several thousand. The sound of approaching horses' hooves beat like drums on the hearts of every soldier, and the tense atmosphere immediately hung over the entire barracks.

"All the units are in place and ready to fight." Ke said most calmly to the generals behind him. Everyone agreed and dispersed.

When they were about a mile or so apart, more than a dozen trumpeters of the opposing side blew the horn of the charge at the same time. A low whine reverberated in the dark night sky, looking extremely solemn and terrifying.

That's when something strange happened.

All of a sudden, the enemy's torches were extinguished, and the earth was plunged back into blackness, and then a jumble of horses' hooves was heard, followed by the sound of horses' hooves turning and running into the darkness, becoming inaudible.

Ke didn't know what Murong Feng was making trouble about, and he was preparing to rob the camp with great momentum, but he withdrew inexplicably. A false alarm.

Several scouts sped out of the camp and quickly melted into the darkness. Soon he quickly ran back to Ke Shi from all directions to report that within five miles, no trace of the enemy was found.

Ke let out a long sigh and turned his horse back to the camp. The chiefs of the tribes ordered the soldiers to disband and rest. The soldiers of the Tiger Tribe cursed loudly as they returned to their tents listlessly and continued to sleep.

Soon, the camp slowly fell silent. The soldiers fell asleep and snored.

Suddenly, more than a dozen horns sounded at the same time in the camp, and the loud and terrible short screams woke the sleeping soldiers again.

Like all the other soldiers, Ke Ji rushed out of the tent in a hurry. They saw an unbelievable scene. To the east, three hundred paces away from the main camp, it was densely packed with enemy cavalry. Each cavalryman held his torch aloft, his sword unsheathed, his arrow wound and was preparing to charge.

Ke's large battalion was like a frying pan in an instant, the soldiers rushed to the wolves, panicked, and the leaders of the various departments were in a hurry, shouting hoarsely and commanding.

Ke's main force was indeed well-trained, and although it seemed that the camp was in chaos, the soldiers knew where they should run and what they should do, and the leaders of each department were able to accurately bring their men to the battle position. It's a little messy, but everything is still under control. Ke stood at the forefront of the group on horseback, giving instructions to the heralds behind him from time to time.

Qianchang, who was in charge of patrolling the battalion, knelt in front of Ke Zhi's horse, with a look of fear on his face.

"Why wasn't it detected earlier?" Ke asked coldly.

"My lord, the enemy lurked here silently, and we didn't notice it until the enemy suddenly lit up the torches together, and we didn't know that there was an enemy invasion. The villain is derelict in his duties, please punish the adult. ”

Ke looked at the enemy's iron horsemen in the distance, and was surprised to find that they were still there, with neither the horn of the charge nor the sign of intending to attack. It stands to reason that when their camp is in disarray, it is their best chance to attack, why don't they attack? What is Murong Feng going to do?

"It's none of your business, you go back." Ke Zhi waved his hand to the Qianchang and said lightly.

"My lord, all the departments have been assembled and are ready to attack at any time."

Ke Ji nodded. Originally, in the face of an opponent like Murong Feng, he lent ten dares to Ke Shi, but he didn't have the confidence to challenge, not at all. Murong Feng's military talent is Xianbei first, and Ke is the fastest Dawan BMW that can't catch up.

Dashuai is a genius, if it weren't for his greed for wealth and wealth, he suddenly defected during the Battle of Benniuyuan, Dashuai would not have been defeated and fled, but since then, Xianbei has fallen into continuous civil wars. With the way the commander acted, he absolutely wanted to overthrow Helian and set up a new king. Did you do something wrong? If he had overthrown Helian with Dashuai back then, Xianbei Country would not have been rebelled by Helian, and its national strength would have been greatly reduced.

Ke sighed. knew that today, it was better to accompany the handsome to fight.

Ke was pitying himself here, but the enemy rider on the opposite side suddenly changed.

The torches of the enemy cavalry began to be extinguished one after another, one, two, one, one team, this strange situation made Ke Ji and the soldiers of the Tiger tribe suspicious, and their hearts were full of fear of Murong Feng.

Soon, all the enemy horsemen were plunged into darkness, and there was no sound.

Ke Ji and the few Qianchang people around him looked at each other, not knowing what magic trick Murong Feng was going to use to attack him tonight, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

The soldiers complained bitterly. In the past few days, the soldiers have been exhausted from the desperate rush under the urging of Ke Maji, and they have been repeatedly harassed by the enemy this evening, and everyone is so tired that they can't straighten their waists. Seeing that there was no movement in front of them, many soldiers simply stood up and slept.

After a long time, there was no movement on the other side, just a deathly silence and deep darkness.

Eventually, he became impatient, and ordered the scouts to be sent out cautiously to look for traces of enemy horsemen in the darkness to the east.

The enemy probably wrapped the horse's hooves in cowhides, and they came silently, and they walked just as silently.

After receiving the report that the scouts were safe, Ke immediately ordered the soldiers of all units to take turns to rest to prevent the enemy from attacking again. A thousand elders followed behind Ke Zhi and carefully reminded: "My lord, Murong Feng must want to use this method of frequent harassment to make our army unable to rest, so as to profit from it in the decisive battle tomorrow." Our army marched hard during the day, and the soldiers were already exhausted, if we let Murong Feng continue to harass like this tonight, even if we let the soldiers take turns to rest, we will not be able to cope with the battle tomorrow. ”

Ke shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Is there any way?" If Murong Feng suddenly robbed the camp when we were most tired, then we would be doomed. ”

"But the soldiers don't sleep all night, what will they do tomorrow?"

"Not leaving tomorrow." Ke Zi waved his hand and said, "Be prepared tonight." ”

The news that he would not leave tomorrow greatly relieved the soldiers. The army was then divided into two, some of the soldiers were personally led by Ke Shi to guard the first half of the night, and the remaining part of the soldiers were led by the little handsome Ke Rong to guard the second half of the night.

Half an hour later, the sound of galloping horses' hooves came from the south of the camp. The enemy who came to raid saw the soldiers of the Tiger tribe waiting in a energetic line in the big camp, and immediately turned around and ran.

And so on and so forth, and every half an hour, a group of enemy horsemen appeared in different directions. After a long time, idiots can see that this is Murong Feng's plan to disturb the enemy.

Ke was very cautious, and every time the enemy cavalry attacked, he ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy. The soldiers muttered in private, feeling that the adults were too timid, what kind of battle would they fight if they were so afraid of the enemy and suspicious? Later, the soldiers could not support it, and many of them secretly lay down on the ground to sleep, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet, they reflexively stood up, but most of their eyes were still closed. The leaders of the various departments were also paralyzed, and everyone turned a blind eye and didn't see it.

finally stayed up until the second half of the night, and everyone finally saw the little handsome Ke Rong taking over with people. With Ke's last order, the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Ke Zhi called Ke Rong to his side, carefully instructed a few words, and then returned to the big tent to rest.

The soldiers in charge of the second half of the night woke up when they were sleeping soundly, yawning one by one, they couldn't support it at all, and in a short time, a large number of people had fallen asleep around the camp.

At this time, the alarm horn sounded again. The enemy cavalry always harassed from a distance and then disappeared immediately, and the soldiers patrolling outside the camp almost didn't even bother to blow their horns. The soldiers in the large camp had not yet stood up and lined up, and the enemy cavalry had already left like a whirlwind.

After the patrol sergeant blew the alarm horn three times in succession, the harassing enemy cavalry suddenly disappeared. Maybe the enemy was busy all night and went to rest. The soldiers in the camp who should have slept have fallen asleep, and those who should not have slept have fallen asleep. Ke Rong barely supported himself, but he was too tired during the day, and his eyelids gradually became heavier and heavier until they were all closed.

Around the camp, except for a few dutiful patrolmen, there was no one sober.

The darkness before dawn is the darkest period.

Murong Feng and his 2,000 iron cavalry were divided into two teams, east and west, and attacked Ke Shi's battalion from two directions. Murong Feng ordered his soldiers to rush into the enemy camp in the shortest possible time and deal a devastating blow to the sleeping enemy. Two hundred iron horsemen roamed around the periphery, and when they encountered escapees, they were killed.

The Iron Cavalry suddenly burst out of the darkness like ghosts.

The patrol soldiers did not react for a moment, they thought that the enemy cavalry was still harassing them as they had done the previous times, so they lazily moved with the horns, but then they were completely awakened by the long arrows that had been fired into their bodies. The patrolman, who had not been shot, panicked, shouted and rushed back to the camp as he used all his strength to blow the alarm horn of the enemy cavalry attacking.

The soldiers in the battalion were unfazed by the sound that had tormented them all night, and they instinctively believed that the enemy had come to harass them again.

Ke Rong was awakened.

He saw countless enemies wielding their swords and swooping down as silently as the wind in the night, and he instinctively let out a terrifying scream: "Raid the camp......"

The voice snapped off, and his head suddenly flew away from his body, flying in the air, blood pouring out, and a piece of stool still opening and closing vigorously, as if to send out the last byte.

This is a massacre. On one side are the wolf-like, red-eyed poachers, and on the other side are the prey immersed in sleep.
