Chapter Seventy-Five: Night Attack

After returning to the elven camp, Ning Yuan found a few elderly elves and asked them what elven tribes were around, he could still stay here for ten days now, so if he wanted to plunder some more people and resources, he had to hurry.

Through the old elf's description, Ning Yuan learned that there were three large elven tribes nearby, each with a population of more than a thousand people, and they had all developed elven shortbows.

It seems that there is no free lunch in the world, and it's right to think about it, if those three tribes were not strong enough, Murong Yan would have attacked them a long time ago.

Although it is not clear how many elven archers there are in the other party's tribe, as long as there are elven archers in the enemy's army, Ning Yuan must be extra careful, because they can completely influence the trend of the battle now.

Although Ning Yuan came with a beast skin shield, he still didn't dare to attack the elven army during the day, so after thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way left: night attack.

But how easy is a night attack? Night is the world of nocturnal creatures, although the night vision of the elves is not good, but humans are also blind at night, so the two sides are still evenly divided at night, and no one has an advantage.

However, if the sneak attack can be successful at night, then the elven archers in the enemy formation will be completely destroyed.

At night, their strength can't be brought into play at all, since everyone is blind at night, then Ning Yuan can completely drag them into hand-to-hand combat, which he is better at, and then use the rich hand-to-hand combat experience of the Condor warriors to defeat the other party.

It's like a basketball game, and even though you're very good at playing fast, I just won't play fast with you.

I grind the position with you every ball, so that you can't find the rhythm at all, can't play a smooth fast attack, can only slowly grind the position with me, and then in the positional battle, I will completely defeat you with my rich experience in playing the position.

It is a tactic of playing to the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses of the enemy, avoiding the enemy's strengths and then using your strengths to defeat the enemy.

After thinking about the tactics of sneak attacks at night, Ning Yuan began to make the Condor warriors jet lag.

Except for the 100 Condor warriors who were in charge of guarding the camp during the day, everyone else was not allowed to sleep at night, and if anyone was sleepy, he immediately went to wash his face with cold water, and in groups of ten, the members of the group had to supervise each other until the sun rose high before they could sleep.

And this is nothing, from the second night, Ning Yuan gave them more rations, he asked everyone not to light a fire after dark, and then led the soldiers to run around outside the camp in the dark, in the name of letting the eyes get used to night vision.

In this way, after staying up all night for three consecutive nights, the fighters finally got used to it, and now everyone is extra energetic in the second half of the night, and has completely adapted to acting at night, of course, in terms of night vision, they are still blind.

However, these were not difficult for Ning Yuan, because he had already sent people to secretly make markings on the road during the day, and there were special markers left by scouts every few tens of meters, as long as they kept walking forward according to these markers, they could find the camps of those elf tribes.

On the night of the fourth day, Ning Yuan led three thousand Condor warriors in the darkness and slowly touched an elven tribe twenty kilometers away.

Although they stumbled along the way, and after more than two hours of walking, they walked directly for more than five hours, but finally succeeded in coming to the vicinity of the elf tribe.

Looking at the torches burning around the camp, Ning Yuan knew that the next short section of the road was no longer within his control, and whether he could succeed in the sneak attack was all up to the will of heaven.

Waving his hand to signal the whole army to press, Ning Yuan bent his waist, held a shield, held a stone axe, and cautiously began to approach the elven camp, success or failure is now a matter of one move.

Every time he took a step forward, Ning Yuan's mood became a little nervous, listening to the constant moaning sound in his ears, Ning Yuan's forehead gradually oozed beads of sweat, and the atmosphere on the scene was too tense and exciting.

Those faint moans were made by the Condor warriors who had accidentally stepped on the trap.

In order to prevent the beasts from breaking into the camp, there are traps everywhere around the elven tribe, even if Ning Yuan already knew this in advance, but there is no good way to deal with it, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes because of stepping on the trap, Ning Yuan let everyone have a large ball of grass leaves in their mouths.

The astringent bitter taste emanating from the blades of grass can keep the Condor warriors in a state of concentration at all times, even if they accidentally step on the trap, because their mouths are stuffed with grass blades, they will not let out too loud screams, even if the pain is unbearable, the last thing that comes out is a faint moan.

Now that it has reached the most critical juncture, there is no one to help those Condor warriors who have stepped on the trap, so they can only stay where they are and ask for more blessings, and only after the battle is over, can Ning Yuan send someone to treat them.

One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters.

"Hmm~~~."

Thirty meters away from the elven camp, a Condor warrior accidentally stepped on a trap, and the severe pain made him can't help but moan, although the sound was faint, but in the silence of the night, it still seemed very abrupt.

When the elven sentinel in charge of the night watch heard the sound, he immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and it didn't matter, a large black shadow startled him at that time.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ,......。" The silence of the night was immediately shattered by a terrible shout, and the entire elven tribe suddenly woke up from its slumber.

Although Ning Yuan was a little regretful because he didn't succeed in approaching the camp, the distance of thirty meters was only a matter of seconds for them, so even if it was discovered at this time, it would basically not affect the overall situation.

"Give me a chance to rush in and try to entangle all the enemies without giving them a chance to distance."

Ning Yuan let out a low roar and was the first to rush out.

"Kill."

The low wooden fence did not stop the Condor warriors, and as the wooden fence outside the elven camp was torn down, the Condor warriors rushed into the camp like a tidal wave.

Many elves had just woken up from their sleep, and before they could understand what was going on, they were thrown to the ground by a black shadow that rushed from nowhere.

"Ride a monkey in the trees."

"What?"

The black shadow said a word without a head, and the unlucky elf didn't understand what it meant at all, so he subconsciously asked, and then was directly knocked out by the black shadow.

"Riding a monkey on the tree" is a code phrase that Ning Yuan came up with, because everyone is blind in the dark, and the elves look exactly like humans except for the pointed ears, so in order to avoid accidental injury, the Condor warriors will first shout "Ride a monkey on the tree" when they encounter their opponents.

At this time, if it is your own person, you will answer "a monkey on the ground", and then both parties will know that it is their own person, and there will be no embarrassing situation of their own people beating their own people.

Ning Yuan's main purpose here was to plunder the population, so he would not kill the killer unless he had to.

Ning Yuan shouted "Ride a monkey on the tree" as he rushed towards the depths of the camp, not forgetting to extinguish the torches lit by the elves.

Now the Condor warriors have an absolute advantage in numbers, and the blind elven archers dare not release arrows at will, so it is beneficial for the Condor warriors to maintain absolute darkness, because in the case of not being able to distinguish between friend and foe, the elves cannot organize effective resistance at all.

"Ride a monkey in the trees."

"Huh?"

"Lie down, you."

Ning Yuan directly stunned an unlucky elf in front of him with a beast skin shield, he couldn't remember that this was the first elf he had stunned, anyway, as long as the person he met couldn't pick up the next sentence, he would directly use the shield to smash it.

"Ride a monkey in the trees."

"A monkey on the ground."

"Ride a monkey in the trees."

"A monkey on the ground."

......

In the end, the entire elf camp was full of such answers, and there was no way, the elves were all overturned, and the rest were their own people.

"Light the torches, tie up all the elves and keep them together, Black Hawk, you quickly take people outside the camp to treat the warriors who stepped on the trap, and everyone else cheered up, let me watch this camp, and not let go of a single fish that slipped through the net."

Seeing that the elves had almost been caught, Ning Yuan asked people to light torches, this night attack was very perfect, and now wait for dawn to count the results.

As the sky turned white, Ning Yuan began to let people count the results of this battle.

In this raid, the Condor warriors lost seven people and wounded fifty-eight, seven of whom died in the trap outside the camp, and most of those who were injured were also injured because they stepped on the trap.

In terms of elven tribes, Ning Yuan captured a total of more than 1,600 elves, of which there were more than 1,100 adult elven warriors, regardless of gender, and the rest were old people and children.

On the elven side, because the elven archers were completely abolished, and they were caught off guard by the Condor warriors, they couldn't organize effective resistance at all when they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, so in this battle, they didn't even give full play to their combat power, which can be described as a rather embarrassing loss.

But this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, only the strong can survive, so although he was very unwilling, the elven patriarch Cook Ivan still chose to surrender.

Cook Ivan is obviously a Western-style name, but this is Murong Yan's plane, why are the elves here all Western-style names, does Nuwa think that only the human race is worthy of the hundred family names of Huaxia?

Although Ning Yuan was very puzzled by this, but here the Great Nuwa of Heaven and Earth is the biggest, even if he has any opinions, this is a fact that cannot be changed, so he can only let it go now.

Just as the so-called trick is eaten all over the world, while the enemy is not yet alert, Ning Yuan successfully attacked another elven tribe on the night of the sixth and eighth days respectively, and the two elven tribes contributed two thousand two hundred elven warriors and one thousand two hundred elven civilians to him.

Satisfied, Ning Yuan returned to the Condor Tribe with a large amount of resources and population, and of course he did not forget to use civilization plunder and resource plunder before leaving.
