Chapter 79: Night Attack on the Village
Night fell quietly, the bright moon hung in the middle of the sky, and the insects sang in the grass, playing a beautiful song of the night.
A black shadow ran quickly under the moonlight towards the place where Liu Wei and the others were stationed.
The black shadow gradually approached, and it was the man who Zhou Cang had arranged earlier to be in charge of monitoring on the outskirts of the village.
The men brought by Liu Wei all slept, and even the soldiers under Wang Kuang's command let out bursts of snoring.
"Your Highness!" Running in front of Liu Bian, the man half-knelt on the ground, first saluted Liu Bian, and then looked left and right, and saw that everyone was asleep, so he lowered his voice and said: "The pursuers entered the village before dark, and are now stationed in the village. ”
"How many sentry posts are there at the entrance of the village?" Liu Wei first picked up his finger at Dian Wei, who was lying not far away, but had not fallen asleep and was waiting for his instructions, and when Dian Wei arrived at his side, he lowered his voice and asked the man who reported the news.
"On the left side of the village entrance, there are three people!" The man half-knelt on the ground, one finger tugging in the grass, as if he wanted to draw on the ground to show his intentions, and whispered to Liu Wei: "There are two people on the right, both hiding in hidden places. ”
"Their vision at night must be normal!" Liu Wei nodded and said to Dian Wei beside him: "Call the brothers who can move normally at night, and let's go back to the village!" ”
Dian Wei nodded, turned around and jumped towards the sleeping place of a few men not far away.
Choosing to camp here, Zhou Cang deliberately separated a few men who could see normally at night from the crowd, so that the night action could wake them up in time without alarming others.
Zhou Cang had informed those men in advance that they might make a move at night, and they were called up by Dian Wei, and a few men just rubbed their eyes, glanced at Dian Wei, and then got up and followed him to Liu Wei.
There are only seven men who can see clearly at night, and with the men who reported the news just now, there are exactly eight of them.
Liu Wei did not take Zhou Cang with him in this operation, after all, there are more than 100 men here who are like blind people at night, in case those soldiers wearing Wang Kuangjun's clothes and armor have eyes that can see normally at night, it is not very difficult to kill more than 100 blind people.
beckoned to Dian Wei and the eight men, and Liu Wei took the lead in running in the direction of the village.
The evening breeze swept past everyone's bodies with a hint of coolness, even so, after running at a fast pace for a while, Liu Wei and the others still felt a little hot on their bodies.
Seeing the shadow of the village in the distance, Liu Wei raised his hand, bowed down and continued to jump forward, but when he ran, his steps were much lighter than before.
Dian Wei and the eight men who followed behind also bowed down and lightened their steps.
In the night, the village is getting closer and closer, and from the outside of the village, the entrance of the village looks like a giant beast with a big mouth, waiting to devour the people who enter the village.
Liu Wei waved his hand behind him and made everyone squat down.
"Where are the thieves at the entrance of the village?" After everyone squatted down, Liu Wei whispered a question to the man who had been visiting the situation at the entrance of the village before.
"There, under the old locust tree, three!" The man raised his hand and pointed to an old locust tree on the left side of the village entrance, and then pointed to the root of the wall of a private house on the right side of the village, and said to Liu Wei: "There are two behind the firewood and grass pile in the corner. ”
"I'll take someone to solve the problem under the locust tree, Dian Wei, you take someone to dispose of the two behind the firewood and grass pile!" Looking at the entrance of the village, Liu Wei gave an order to Dian Wei on the side, and took the four men to the left side of the village entrance, while Dian Wei led the other four men to the right side of the village entrance.
The cat walked slowly in the grass with his waist bent, and when he reached a place only more than ten steps away from the old locust tree, in the dim moonlight, Liu Wei saw a soldier leaning against the trunk of the locust tree.
The soldier's eyes were open, his head twisting back and forth, and he kept looking around.
Not far from the soldier, two other soldiers were sleeping in the grass, one of them snoring.
Beckoning behind him, Liu Wei bent his waist and touched the back of the soldier sitting against the old locust tree under the cover of the deep grass.
The four men followed his example, and followed behind and quietly touched the three soldiers under the old locust tree.
When he reached a place only three or four steps away from the old locust tree, Liu Wei stopped again, he grabbed the hand holding the long sword, looked at the back of the soldier sitting against the old locust tree, and jumped up.
The soldier was looking around, heard the sound of grass behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to see what was behind him.
At the moment when he turned his head, the long sword in Liu Wei's hand stepped forward, and the sharp blade stabbed into the soldier's throat with a "poof".
His eyes were wide open, and streams of blood gushed out from the soldier's neck, and his throat made a few soft "gurgling" sounds, and his body was crooked, and he collapsed to the ground.
Pulling out the long sword inserted in the soldier's throat, a stream of blood like a fountain shot out, **** on the old locust tree on the side, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air nearby.
Solved the only awake soldier, the two men who followed Liu Wei immediately rushed towards the two sleeping soldiers, and when they arrived in front of the two soldiers, the two of them raised their long swords high, pointed straight at the tip of the sword, and pressed the long sword down violently with both hands.
With a "poof" sound, a long sword **** the throat of one of the soldiers, and the other long sword was impartially inserted into the slightly open mouth of the other soldier.
The two murderous men drew their long swords, and two strands of bloody arrows flew up, and they couldn't dodge, and they were sprayed all over their faces with viscous plasma.
After solving the three soldiers, Liu Wei stood up straight, glanced to the right side of the village entrance, and happened to see the grass making a rustling sound, as if something was moving quickly towards them.
A moment later, Dian Wei came out of the grass with four men and came to Liu Wei.
"Leave two people, take the fire fold, pay attention to the movement at the entrance of the village opposite, and when you see the fire lit up, immediately put a fire on this side!" Glancing at Dian Wei and the others, Liu Wei lowered his voice and ordered everyone: "The others follow me!" ”
The two men with the fire fold were ordered to stay at the entrance of the village and hide in the deep grass on the side of the road, while Liu Wei took a few other people and touched the entrance of the village along the outside of the village towards the other side.
Touching the entrance of the village on the other side and solving the sentry, Liu Wei squatted in a bush, looking at the quiet village, and did not give the order to set fire for a while.
Dian Wei and the others, who were squatting behind Liu Wei, all set their eyes on him, quietly waiting for him to give an order.
"Waiting here!" Liu Wei did not give the order to set fire, but lowered his voice, gave an order to everyone, and jumped towards the entrance of the village.
Liu Wei's speech and the action of jumping out of the river were connected, and he didn't give Dian Wei and the others time to react at all, and when Dian Wei and the others came back to their senses, he was about to rush to the entrance of the village.
"Your Highness went alone, how is it good?" Looking at Liu Wei's back as he gradually moved away, a man asked Dian Wei with a flustered face.
"You wait here, go somewhere!" Dian Wei's brows were tightly twisted, and he explained to the men, and he raised his feet to follow Liu Wei towards the entrance of the village.
"General Dian!" Dian Wei was just about to leave, but a man hurriedly grabbed him and whispered to him: "Since Your Highness wants to go alone, there must be a reason for him." We just have to wait here, and if there is really a disturbance in the village, it will not be too late to rush in.
Frowning slightly, staring at the man for a while, Dian Wei sighed helplessly, squatted in the grass, and looked at the entrance of the village with a worried face.
Touching the small village, Liu Wei put his body against the root of the wall and slowly rubbed towards the village.
Every time he moved, he carefully observed the situation around him. He didn't go far before Liu Wei stopped, squatting in a dark shadow in the corner of the wall, staring at the two soldiers sitting at the base of the wall not far away.
The spring night was still a little cool, and the two soldiers sat under the wall, constantly stamping their feet, and from time to time saying two words that were not very true.
One of the soldiers, who could have been very sleepy, yawned incessantly, and when he talked to his companions, he also responded with a pair of unmatched ones.
Squatting in a dark corner and observing the two soldiers for a while, and making sure that there were no other sentry posts nearby, Liu Wei quietly touched the two people.
Probably because there was a sentry outside the village, the vigilance of the two soldiers was not very high, and the sleepy soldier sat for a while, simply leaned his back against the wall and closed his eyes.
The other soldier watched as his companion closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and turned his face to the side to look at the dark entrance to the village on the other side.
Here's your chance!
At the moment when the vigilance of the two soldiers was the worst, Liu Wei sped up, rushed to the side of the two, picked up the long sword, and slashed at the neck of the soldier who was leaning against the wall.
The sword fell, and a head tumbled to the ground with a dull thud.
The soldier who twisted his face to the other side heard a voice behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look back, and at the moment he turned his head, the long sword in Liu Wei's hand drew an arc of light under the moonlight, slashing his neck.
The long sword slashed at the neck bone, making a soft "click" sound, and then blood gushed out like a fountain.
After cutting down the two soldiers, Liu Wei touched the front again, and when he was about to touch the entrance of the village on the other side, he was sure that there were no other sentry posts in the village, so he quietly retreated back to the entrance of the village where Dian Wei and the others were hiding.
After waiting in the grass outside the village for nearly half an hour, Dian Wei was already a little anxious, if it weren't for the persuasion of a few men, he would have jumped up and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
Just when everyone was anxious, Liu Wei's figure appeared at the entrance of the village. Dian Wei, who had been staring at the entrance of the village, squatted up a little more at the moment he saw him, and with some excitement, he clenched a fist and struck it lightly on the palm of his other hand.
