The fifth episode of the horse thief night attack
The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill.
Several figures were exposed behind a pile of rocks, Mu Chen bent down to avoid being discovered in the moonlight, and came to Zhao Kuo and whispered: "Why is Childe so sure that the horse thief launched a night attack tonight?" β
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "The horse thief has a lot of people, and he will definitely not take us people in his eyes, plus we killed so many people when he broke in today, and the horse thief's temperament must be eager to retaliate, if he is not prepared, what if the horse thief takes advantage of the night to attack the hill?" β
"There is no way out, only a desperate fight."
Zhao Kuo nodded, "After all, people's strength is limited, horse thieves are ferocious and easy to kill, and there are many people, and if you want to pass through the valley, you can't fight the enemy, you can only outwit them." β
Mu Chen shook his head again and again, "Mu Chen is a rough person who doesn't understand this, as long as Mu Chen is in anyone, he can't hurt his son in the slightest." "In the previous battle with Wei Mou, Wei Mou had great strength, sharp axes, and an absolute advantage in the number of horse thieves, and I didn't want to be in danger here for a trip to Qi State, and there was no way to retreat at this time, even if I fought for my life, I had to protect the safety of my son.
When one person came closer, it was the leader of the caravan, holding dried meat and a bag of soju in his hand, and handed it to Mu Chen and the others, "The big war is coming, only these things to talk about!" β
"Wine and meat are enough!" Zhao Kuo unscrewed the lid on it and poured it directly into his mouth, this battle is unpredictable, the horse thieves are fierce and abnormal, there are many people, and the defense on the hill can only block for a while, and there is no absolute certainty in this battle.
Zhao Kuo's wine bag was put down, "Does Brother Tai know the details of this horse thief?" β
The man said: "I have heard that there is a horse thief on the border of Qi who is very fierce, the leader is named Wei Mou, he is good at killing, his strength is amazing, he is armed with a ghost axe, he kills people and does all kinds of evil, I don't want to meet here today!" β
"Hustle and bustle!" Hearing the three words of Wei Mou, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but think of the past when he just entered the Zhao Mansion, the tears in Zhao's mother's eyes, the helplessness and remorse in Zhao Hao's expression, all of them were caused by this person called Wei Mou, on the way back, the forward battalion was attacked by horse thieves, and everyone fought desperately, and the eldest brother Zhao Ping finally died at the hands of horse thieves, although this person had not seen it at all, but the love of Zhao's mother, the expectation in Zhao Hao's eyes, Zhao Kuo had already regarded these people as close relatives.
Qin Wan said: "Childe recognizes this person? β
Zhao Kuo shook his head, "I don't recognize it, but once I have the opportunity, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!" β
"Leave this matter to Mu Chen."
"And Bai Ying!"
Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently, "The love of the two brothers Zhao Kuo understands in his heart, there are too many horse thieves in front of him, and it is not the time for revenge. β
"What this son said is extremely true, although Lu is a businessman, he also knows not to care about temporary success or failure, and only the last laugh can be regarded as a winner!"
"I don't know what to call the chief!"
"LΓΌ Buwei!"
"It's coming!"
An exclamation, Zhao Kuo jumped out quickly, the leader of the caravan just reported his name and did not hear it clearly, he looked down after the fortification, and a black shadow faintly flashed in the night, like a ghost in the night, slowly emerged, a slight sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Wei Mou suffered a big loss in the battle during the day, with no less than 100 dead and wounded, and drinking and eating meat could not dispel this breath in his heart, two ghost axes were put aside, and the leaders sat down, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became tense.
Kicking and kicking, one person stepped forward quickly, "Big brother, those people are hiding on a hill and haven't left!" β
"What!"
Wei Mu stood up suddenly, his palm was forced, the table suddenly shattered, and the wine and meat on the table fell to the ground, "It's really bold, bullying Lao Tzu." β
"Big brother, but I want to avenge the dead brothers."
"Yes, revenge!" The thieves shouted for a while, waved the weapons in their hands, and wanted to rush up the hill immediately to kill the other party.
"Immediately prepare manpower, launch a night attack tonight, and slaughter these people!"
The bald head, who had been silent, forcibly said: "Big brother, if you don't forget it, it's not worth killing and injuring brothers for that little thing!" β
Wei Mu snorted coldly, "What do you know, even if people die, they can't let these people leave alive, this is an order." β
The bald head was helpless, a large piece of meat was stuffed into his mouth, and he grabbed it with both hands and bit it hard, this fight was inevitable, and the horse thieves ate and drank enough until it was dark and washed the hills in blood.
The war horse blindfolded with a cloth, so as not to be frightened and make a sound, even if the horse's hooves are also wrapped in cloth, which can minimize the sound, a group of people approached, the shadow of a person loomed on the hill, the left hand grabbed it, the black cloth was withdrawn, the weapon in the hand was sandwiched between the legs and hit the horse's back, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward, the horse thief held a scimitar blade in his mouth and rushed upward, the speed was extremely fast, what Wei Mu wanted was to rely on the impact of the war horse to instantly attack the hill and kill the other party by surprise.
After the stone pile, the guards bent down to hide in the temporarily formed trenches, seeing the black pressure on a horse thief rushing upward, shouting and killing, his expression could not help but be a little frightened, the moment of life and death, the distance is getting closer and closer, Zhao Kuo is still silent, one person can't help but move, Zhao Kuo turned around, his eyes revealed coldness, "Those who trespass will not be killed!" β
There was no response on the hill, Wei Mu couldn't help frowning, there are his own people under the mountain, there is no way to retreat here, those people must still be hiding above, pretending to be ghosts, hundreds of horse thieves rushed up together to kill, the momentum was huge, and suddenly a neighing of war horses accompanied by the screams of people came out.
In the night, the stumbling horse rope is difficult to find, the horse thieves have tripped, waiting in front of the sharp bamboo tip, the screams came out one after another, the horse thieves behind them rushed forward together, seeing their companions fell from the horse and whined, they suddenly understood what was happening in front of them, and it was too late to stop, the war horses collided together, and the horse thief lineup was instantly chaotic.
"Cast!"
Zhao Kuo roared, thirty people holding bamboo sticks to protect the body suddenly rushed out and struggled to throw the bamboo sticks with tips in their hands, and shot at the horse thief camp with bamboo sticks through the mountain, the horse thieves fell into a panic because of stumbling and trapping the horse pit, the bamboo stick stabbed the body and screamed again and again, the bamboo tip was sharp and the power was not weak at all, the first team retreated, and the second team of thirty people also rushed forward, and the bamboo stick in their hands quickly returned to the back of the stone pile again.
The first wave of attacking horse thieves lost most of their losses and had to retreat back, the guards on the hill cheered and shouted together, morale increased greatly, the caravan leader hid behind a big stone before the occurrence of a qiΔ completely in the eyes, the grasp of the timing, the setting in front of the formation, seemingly simple, which implied the art of war, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, the advance and retreat are orderly, what is the identity of this person, if it can't be wooed, it will inevitably become a big trouble in the future.
"Light the torch!"
Under the order of Wei Mou, hundreds of torches were lit, and the hills were suddenly as bright as day, since they were discovered, the night attack could no longer play a role, so they simply had a good time, and with the torches, they could completely avoid things like tripping horses.
Wei Mu looked at it, fences, ropes, traps were arranged on the hills, plus bamboo sticks that could be thrown, if the loss was forced to attack, he explained in a low voice, and the two of them each took a team of men and horses to leave, Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning, the mountains on both sides were steeper, and it was very difficult for people to walk on them.
"Mu Chen guards the slope on the east side, Bai Ying guards the west side, prepare some more boulders, and kill them when the horse thieves approach."
As Zhao Kuo expected, Wei Mou saw that the frontal offensive was blocked, and ordered the two leaders to rush up from both sides with a hundred horse thieves, although it was steep, but with the horse thief's superb equestrian skills, it could definitely be done, and it could be used as a surprise soldier, as long as you rushed up the hill, you were completely in your own hands, Wei Mu made up his mind to rush forward with a big axe, and the horse thieves behind him stepped forward one after another, and the weapons in their hands picked up the tripping horse rope, dodged the pit, and the speed slowed down significantly, although it could not give full play to the advantages of the war horse, it was better than being disrupted.
On both sides of the east and west, the horse thief covered the sound and instantly rushed upwards to kill, a burst of rocks fell, the boulder rolled down by the mountain, after a burst of throwing, the offensive on both sides failed, Wei Mu led people to kill to the front, the ghost axe flickered, the fence collapsed instantly, and Wei Mu laughed, "All killed, no one left!" β
