Chapter 896: The Hun army that broke out of the barracks
More than two hundred steps away from the Bei military camp, more than 500 dragoon guards lay quietly in the grass.
Coming to the vicinity of the Xiongnu military camp, the dragoon guards left their horses behind them, which was still more than two hundred paces away from them.
Although the dragoons' horses have their heads on their mouths and do not neigh, they are much larger than humans.
Lurking in the night, the Huns may not be able to immediately discover the whereabouts of the dragoon guards, but they are likely to expose the dragoons because of the presence of war horses.
The war horse stayed behind him for more than 200 steps, and Deng Zhan also took into account that at such a long distance, the Huns could not find the storage of the war horse in time, and the dragoon guards did not need to run too far to reach the side of the war horse when retreating.
Lying in the grass, Deng Zhan's eyes stared unblinkingly at the Hun military camp two hundred steps away.
Bonfires have been lit in the military camp of the Huns, and from a distance, the beating bonfires are like stars falling on the ground, reflecting the stars in the night sky.
The Qubei military camp in the distance was quiet, and there was no movement of the Huns at all.
After lying dormant in the grass for a long time, the sky was already completely dark, and Deng Zhan beckoned Huang Sheng beside him and the ten dragoon guards who were about to accompany him on the mission of assassinating Qubei.
Seeing Deng Zhan's gesture, Huang Sheng and the ten dragoon guards all half-squatted up, followed Deng Zhan, and moved quickly towards the Xiongnu camp under the cover of grass and night.
The night was deep, and there was a bonfire in the Huns' barracks, and the Huns guarding the barracks couldn't see what was happening in the dark fields at all, let alone Deng Zhan and Huang Sheng and others, and they were also under the cover of deep grass.
Half-squatting and marching quickly to a place that was only fifty steps away from the Hun military camp, Deng Zhan suddenly stopped.
Huang Sheng and the others, who were following him, also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and without waiting for Deng Zhan to greet them, they hurriedly stopped.
The military camp of the Huns was not as quiet as a normal military camp.
In that continuous tent, the neighing of war horses was heard from time to time.
Warhorses, like people, have to sleep at night.
Although they sleep at a very different time than humans, they rarely hiss at night, unless they ......
Listening to the neighing of war horses in the Hun barracks, Deng Zhan turned his head to look at Huang Sheng, and a puzzle appeared on his face.
also looked at Deng Zhan with a puzzled face, and Huang Sheng's heart was also churning.
The neighing of so many war horses is enough to show that the Huns in the barracks did not sleep.
The Huns in the barracks did not sleep, and it would not be so easy to remove the heads of the nearly 200,000 vigilant Huns in the army.
Just for a moment, Deng Zhan had the idea of withdrawing in his heart.
However, his idea was only fleeting, and he immediately gave up.
Listening to the neighing of war horses in the Hun military camp, Deng Zhan soon found that this Hun military camp and some places subverted his perception of the stationing of the army.
There were obviously more bonfires in the barracks than the ones used to light up at night when the normal army was stationed.
Clusters of flames jumped and flickered, reflecting the entire barracks.
The reason why the campfire is lit when the army is stationed is to prevent the infiltration of foreign enemies, and the soldiers who are on guard can detect the enemy situation as soon as possible.
But if the bonfire is lit too much, and the barracks are too bright, the light will cause the vigilant soldiers to have blind spots, and any situation in the outer wilderness cannot be controlled immediately.
In such a situation, it can only show one situation, the Huns who went to the Bei military camp had action!
Deng Zhan would never believe that the Huns in the Bei military camp were targeting them, because their infiltration was very secretive, and it was impossible for the Huns to know about the arrival of the Dragoons.
Gazing at the military camp of the Huns, Deng Zhan suddenly pursed his lips, although he did not speak, a playful smile appeared on his face.
As soon as his smile rippled on his face, there was a burst of neighing of war horses and the shouts of people in the Hun military camp.
The sound of shouting and the neighing of war horses are mixed together, rendering the originally quiet night into a lively atmosphere.
Huang Sheng, who was lying next to Deng Zhan, heard the sound coming from the Xiongnu military camp, and turned his head to look at Deng Zhan in some astonishment, his eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry.
Knowing that Huang Sheng wanted to ask if there was any possibility that their whereabouts would be discovered by the Huns, Deng Zhan shook his head at him and made a gesture of calmness.
Just when Huang Sheng was still looking at Deng Zhan with a suspicious face, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the Hun military camp, and countless war horses poured out of the military camp like a tide rushing in the dark.
More and more Huns poured out of the barracks, and the Hun cavalry who rushed out of the barracks rushed in the direction where the army of King Ligu was stationed, like rushing waves.
Countless horses' hooves stepped on the hard ground, and the earth that was trampled by the horses' hooves made a loud "boom" sound, and Deng Zhan and others who were lying on the ground could even feel the earth trembling under them.
Looking at the Hun army running into the distance, Deng Zhan made a set of gestures to Huang Sheng beside him, meaning to ask Huang Sheng to summon all the other dragoon guards who were dormant behind him to the vicinity.
After seeing Deng Zhan's gestures, Huang Sheng knew that due to the sudden departure of the Huns from the barracks, the plan had changed, so he waved his hand at a dragoon guard on the side.
At the same time that Deng Zhan was gesturing to Huang Sheng, the ten dragoon guards also saw his gesture completely, knowing that he was going to summon all the dragoons to the front.
The Huns were still pouring out of the barracks like a tidal wave, rushing towards the army of the king of Zuoguli, who was not very far from them.
Deng Zhan, who was still a little hesitant to assassinate him, looked at the Hun army that rushed out of the barracks on horseback, and had a lot more confidence in being able to successfully complete the task tonight.
After receiving Huang Sheng's order, he turned back and summoned the soldiers from the other dragoon guards, slowly turned around, and quickly moved behind him under the cover of night.
The dragoon guard pressed his body very low at first, and after jumping out of twenty or thirty paces quickly, his body was slightly raised, and the speed of his feet was a little faster than before.
There are more and more Huns who rushed out of the barracks, and from a distance, the black shadows on horseback are not much different from the continuous waves of the big river, and it is really a special scenery to watch such a large army gallop in the night.
Looking at the army of the Huns from afar, the smile on Deng Zhan's face became brighter and brighter, but Huang Sheng, who was lying beside him, looked a little worried.
The Hun army raided the king of Zuogu Li at night, Huang Sheng was not worried about whether the king of Zuogu Li could deal with it, the Huns killed each other, and Huang Sheng was too lazy to care about many idle things.
There are too many Huns who left the barracks, continuously, and there is no end in sight at all, the Huns who rushed out of the barracks first have been gone for a long time, and the Hun cavalry is still pouring out of the barracks.
Just looking at this formation, Huang Sheng knew that the Huns in the Bei military camp must have gone out to attack the king of Zuogu Li at night!
As the right virtuous king, he will go to the army of Bei, and he himself will go with the army.
The owners are all gone, and in Huang Sheng's opinion, their mission this time has been a complete failure, and there is no need to delay here at all.
Staring at the Hun army that rushed out of the barracks, Huang Sheng turned his head to look at Deng Zhan, but what appeared in his sight was Deng Zhan's smug face.
I didn't understand why Deng Zhan showed such an expression at all, but Huang Sheng was full of astonishment.
However, the Hun army was still galloping on horseback, and it was impossible for him to ask Deng Zhan at this time, and Deng Zhan would not explain such a complicated question to him with a special gesture that he used to act.
Wanting to understand Deng Zhan's thoughts, Huang Sheng could only wait silently, waiting for the Hun army to leave, and Deng Zhan personally told him the reason.
The Huns in the distance are still pouring out of the barracks, and the Hun cavalry who came out of the barracks quickly disappeared into the thick night, and the Huns who were about to leave the barracks were crowded one by one, rushing out of the barracks in order.
Looking at the Hun army that rushed out of the barracks, Deng Zhan and the others only heard the loud "rumbling" sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground.
Waiting for the Hun army to completely rush out of the barracks, in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, Deng Zhan felt a bush not far behind him shaking violently.
The evening breeze blew the grass, and the blades of grass "rustled" and swayed, and because the sound of the grass blades rubbing was very light, it was completely muffled by the sound of the horses' hooves.
The reason why Deng Zhan was able to feel that the frequency of the grass shaking behind him was completely due to his swordsman's instinct and the intuition he had trained in the dragoon.
Although he felt that something was wrong with the blades of grass behind him, Deng Zhan did not turn back.
He didn't have to look back to know that when he came to the vicinity, it must be the more than 500 dragoons who were lying dormant behind him, waiting to meet them.
Sure enough, not long after Deng Zhan felt that someone was coming behind him, a dragoon guard officer lay down next to Huang Sheng and nodded at Huang Sheng.
Nodding to each other with the dragoon guard, Huang Sheng turned his head to look at Deng Zhan.
Deng Zhan didn't give Huang Sheng any gestures, let alone say a word, just nodded silently, indicating that he already knew that the dragoon guards were coming.
The time consumed by the 200,000 Hun cavalry rushing out of the barracks must have been very long, lying dormant in the grass, waiting for nearly half an hour, and the last Hun cavalry left the barracks and rushed towards a thick night.
Looking at the back of the Hun cavalry, Deng Zhan beckoned to Huang Sheng beside him, took the lead in bending his waist, and touched the Hun military camp that they did not want to.
When the five hundred dragoons saw him rush out, they all followed him closely.
Although there were more than 500 people, when the dragoon guards rushed to the Xiongnu camp, only the blades of grass made a sound slightly different from the natural swaying along the way, and there was no movement enough to expose their movements.
