Volume 3 Chapter 273 The Void of Night (2)

"Mr. Lu, why are you stopping me!?"

Lu Ren once again pressed Zhao Yun's hand that was about to raise the bow, and said bitterly: "Brother Zilong, do you think I don't want to go down and kill?" But Brother Zilong, we are no longer in our twenties, and we are hot-blooded and angry hairy boys when we encounter something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

“……”

Without saying a word, Zhao Yun finally let go of the strength in his hand.

Lu Ren slowly withdrew his hand, glanced at the side camp below a few more times, and shook his head incessantly: "Now it is easy for us to shoot a few enemy soldiers, but in that case, it will be a surprise." Brother Zilong, you might as well think about it, these thieves are staying here well, and suddenly some people died inexplicably, so how will they deal with it next? At the very least, they will be more vigilant and take precautions, which will make some of our things difficult. In the grand scheme of things, if these thieves had killed prisoners in a fit of rage, wouldn't our pleasure have killed more people? ”

Zhao Yun was actually just overly angry just now, and Zhao Yun himself was a very strict and cautious person, and now he understood by Lu Ren's reminder, and the bow and arrow he took out were slowly withdrawn. Fu glanced down again, and still saw some atrocities of the Western Regions Alliance, but he was still very depressed in his heart.

Seeing this, Lu Ren persuaded: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and now we can only let these people of Liangzhou suffer for a few more days, and then try to save us when our preparations are ready." ”

Zhao Yun let out a long sigh: "That's all it can be......"

Lu Ren took a moment to take a few photos with the camera on the board and then transferred them to the chip, so that he could draw the terrain and the arrangement of the military camp in the vicinity when he turned around. By the way, I took a look at the remaining power of the board, and knew that I had to go back, otherwise it would be planted in mid-air halfway, and it would be a lot of fun.

――――――――――――――――――――

Two days later, late at night, it was the same barracks.

Although there is a night patrol post, to be honest, it is really a bit lax, perhaps because this barracks is nothing more than a unit that escorts slave labor to be called? In modern parlance, it is a non-front-line logistics force.

And in the remote camp at this moment, from time to time there will be men's beatings and scolding, wild laughter, and then women's cries and struggles. For these, the already lax sentry posts have long been accustomed to it, and they will even sweep the female prisoners whose clothes have been torn that they can see. If you see something pleasing to the eye, you will also think about venting it after the change of guard.

As the night got deeper and deeper, more and more people had become sleepy, so both the main camp and the side camp gradually quieted down, and the chaotic sounds became less and less. In the corner of the camp, the sentry standing guard was a little drowsy with his weapon, but he never imagined that death would come to him at this moment...... A sharp feathered arrow pierced into his brow under the cover of the night.

"I'll go! At a distance of about sixty meters, an arrow blows the head...... Meow, how did these ancient generals practice their bowing skills? Forget it, after so many years of mixing, I don't think I'm surprised by this kind of thing for a long time. Isn't there an old man Huang who wears a hundred steps under my own men? and Gan Ning and Sun Shangxiang, the big girl, are not bad at arching. ”

The above is purely Lu Ren's boring thoughts because he has been lying on the lurking spot for too long. Seeing that Zhao Yun had succeeded in one blow, Lu Ren also picked up his beam rifle and turned it into sniper mode, smashing off the head of another sentry. But seriously, although Lu Ren's sniping was greatly amazed by Zhao Yun, Lu Ren himself knew that he actually had no level to speak of. Not to mention what kind of high-tech the beam rifle in the hand is, let's just say that some modern sniper rifles often have quality standards that can allow untrained people to hit the target at a certain distance as long as the scope is aimed.

Seeing Lu Ren and Zhao Yun shoot again and again, it didn't take much effort to let go of a few sentries in this corner of the camp, and then more than 100 soldiers sneaked under the cover of the night and successfully entered the side camp. And after touching it, they only did one thing, and that was to set it on fire.

There were about 2,000 people in this remote camp, and almost all of them were female prisoners...... Well, the men were killed, and the women were kept as slaves and playthings, which was common in those days. And Lu Ren will choose to attack here after investigating the situation clearly, because these female prisoners are generally not tied up, otherwise how can the people who sneak in untie the ropes one by one? And if someone panics and screams, it must be a mistake.

Without further ado, let's just say that the fire in the camp was together, and the many female prisoners were immediately in chaos, and at this time, the people who lurked in began to shout loudly, telling the female prisoners to escape from the destroyed camp corner, and indicating that they should flee to the meridian valley crossing. In the panic, it was easy for people to blindly obey, and those shouts made them aware of the hope of being rescued, so they ran out of the destroyed camp corner.

It is impossible for such a movement not to alarm the main camp next to it, and naturally someone will come out to stop it immediately. But at this time, there was a shout of killing from the main camp, and it was accompanied by a large number of feather arrows, and some unsuspecting coalition soldiers fell under the feather arrows so inexplicably.

"Enemy attack!!"

This is the response of the coalition forces here at the moment. In the dark night, they didn't know how many enemy troops were attacking, so they could only hurry to defend, and naturally they didn't care about the fleeing female prisoners. Of course, there are also people who want to hunt down female prisoners, but these people are greeted by feather arrows that fly out of the shadows, and then occasionally you can see a rather dazzling white light in the dark night, silently punching a hole in someone's body, giving people a very strange feeling. As a result, no one dared to pursue the female captives.

However, after the initial panic, the main camp soon found that there were not many feather arrows shooting at them. These Western Regions coalition forces are all masters who play with bows and arrows on horseback all year round, and it is not difficult for them to judge how many men and horses the other party has, at least how many archers, from the density of the feather arrows they shoot. And the conclusion they have now come to is that the number of shooters who are attacking the main camp is only about 300 people, which is pure bluffing. Judging from the shooting strength of the follow-up arrows into the main camp, these 300 or so shooters are also starting to move away.

Is the other side retreating or fleeing? It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is to rush up and let them go, because the bluff of the 300 or so shooters has dragged down the pace of the coalition army in the main camp, so that the female prisoners held in the side camp have already run out for a long way, which makes the coalition soldiers in the main camp very annoyed. Without these female prisoners, it means that they have no slaves and booty, and what is even worse is that they will not hunt down the female prisoners, and they will not be able to account for them when they turn back.

So the coalition forces of about 5,000 were divided into two teams, one team of more than 1,000 people went to chase and kill the 300 shooters, and the other team of more than 4,000 people naturally hurried to hunt down the female prisoners. They are all people with horses, can't they catch up with a group of women who run away with their feet?

Of course, the female prisoners couldn't run fast, and there was no queue in the mess, but there was someone in front of them to lead the way, and they just had to follow desperately, and the Western Regions coalition army of about 4,000 was in hot pursuit.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the female captives, hundreds of Han troops suddenly blocked the way of the Western Regions coalition army as if they had suddenly emerged from the soil...... It's not a retreat, to put it bluntly, these Han soldiers have just been lying on the ground before, and they can't see clearly in the night.

Raised shields and set up guns, and behind the shield wall gun forest, there was a flurry of arrows, and only in an instant, they put down more than 100 horsemen who rushed in front of the Western Regions Alliance. On the other hand, when the soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance Army saw the formation of this shield wall gun forest and arrow rain, their scalps were also numb. There was no shortage of small-scale battles before, and these light cavalry, who didn't have a few pieces of iron on their bodies, where would they suffer less after encountering this infantry formation?

I wanted to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to avoid the "turtle shell" and then chase the female prisoner, but I found that two more "turtle shells" appeared behind the first "turtle shell", blocking the way of the Western Regions coalition army in stages. Do you want to get around? Yes, but when you get around, you have to be prepared to be shot from the "turtle shell" with arrows to overturn some people. After being put on by the two "turtle shells" in the back, the more than 2,000 female prisoners could almost escape into the woods in front.

But the most important one is that even if the more than 2,000 female prisoners are captured at this time, what can be done? Will these three "turtle shells" still let them go away like this? And when the soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance Army scattered to capture the female prisoners, would these three "turtle shells" stand here indifferent?

Well, to put it simply, now is the time to open the liver, and that's how the battle begins.

However, in the eyes of these Western Regions coalition forces, they still have a good chance of winning, because each of these three "turtle shells" is about five hundred people, and the sum of the three is about one thousand and a half, but they have about four thousand, and they have a considerable advantage in terms of strength. And even if they can't smash this "turtle shell", they can completely rely on the advantage of horses to retreat comfortably. But if these three "turtle shells" are destroyed, one is to turn back and confess to the top, and the other is that they also want the equipment in the hands and bodies of the tyrant army...... These cavalrymen of the 36 countries of the Western Regions are actually poor ghosts, and a good piece of equipment is often more valuable than anything else.

But as soon as the fight really started, they immediately realized that this battle was really not easy to fight. Because these three "turtle shells" are tightly defended, and they also have a good ability to support each other. Especially after the three "turtle shells" were adjusted to the "pin" shaped position, the four thousand Western Regions coalition troops didn't even know where to start. Because no matter which one you attack, the other two can be supported by firepower with crossbow arrows, and then form a local three-on-one. But if it is scattered and surrounded, the average is 1,002 or 3 scattered cavalry to deal with 500 infantry in formation, and these soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance are really not sure that they can handle it.

So the Western Regions Alliance fought in a very awkward situation, and soon threw down more than 300 corpses. Seeing that the momentum was a little unpleasant, the leader decisively chose a comprehensive retreat. As for the female prisoners or something, they don't care about it, don't eat enough, it's only right to throw your life here.

The three "turtle shells", a total of about 1,500 or 600 Han troops, saw that the Western Regions Coalition Army began to retreat and did not pursue, to be honest, their infantry could not catch up with the cavalry, so they retreated slowly in unison, and soon the news was in the woods where the female prisoners had fled. Seeing this, the Western Regions coalition army did not dare to chase into the forest, because if their cavalry entered the forest, it would be useless.

Soon after, the two sides stopped, and after the Han army withdrew with the female prisoners, the corpses were left on the battlefield. However, there were some people who did not die in the pile of corpses, and among them there were people who knew Chinese, who heard the order issued in the "turtle shell" to "return to the mouth of the meridian valley", and then reported what they heard when the Western Regions coalition army came to clean up the battlefield......

On the other side, more than 1,000 allied light cavalry also caught up with the 300 archers, to be specific, there were indeed only 300 archers, and there were also 200 shield soldiers and spearmen in formation, totaling about 500 people.

And for the battle formation formed by the other party, the cavalry of the thousand coalition forces hesitated. Although the number of their more than 1,000 cavalry was twice that of the other party, they did not dare to plunder it lightly in the face of such a battle formation.

But just when the more than 1,000 horsemen were hesitating, the 300 archers put away their bows and crossbows, and instead raised their muskets and began to shoot at the more than 1,000 horsemen...... That's right, these three hundred people are Lu Ren's guard battalion, and Lu Ren's "two-four" musket is one of the standard weapons in their hands, but tonight's action is to throw these three hundred guards to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Lu Ren himself is looking for those female prisoners who may not have escaped in the side camp with Zhao Yun at this time.

What would happen to three hundred musketeers against more than a thousand cavalry? The answer is complete abuse! In the Warring States period of Wajima, Oda Nobunaga commanded 3,000 iron cannons against the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Takeda family, but the opponent was defeated, and three of the four pillars of the Takeda family were hung.

And Lu Ren's "24 style" is better than the iron cannon of the Warring States period on Wajima, and the 300 guard battalion is also the most elite existence around Lu Ren; On the other hand, the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Western Regions Alliance Army should not be as good as the well-trained cavalry of the Takeda family. Under this kind of trade-off, the poor more than 1,000 horsemen were only abused and began to flee after a short time. It should be said that this is not a reciprocal contest at all.

Seeing that the enemy army with less than seven hundred had fled, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were naturally very satisfied, but they also had some different thoughts about the muskets in the hands of the three hundred guard battalions. They still remember when they asked Lu Ren how to use these weird "pipe soldiers", Lu Ren's answer was:

"Just use my three hundred men as archers.
