Chapter 61: The Poor Pond Fish
When the blood sword learned that the three hundred pioneer battalions were wiped out, where could he swallow this breath. In his eyes, that lonely boat is nothing more than the scum of. As a scumbag, you should have the consciousness of scum, and the game should be the world of local tyrants.
A mere scumbag still has the courage to run out and make trouble?
The bloody sword was furious, and the blood flowed and drifted.
Thinking with hatred in his heart, the blood sword immediately commanded the army to open immediately, vowing to catch up with that scumbag, crush him alive with absolute numerical superiority, and let that scumbag know the fate of offending the local tyrant.
Under the order of the Lord, the speed of the march suddenly accelerated a lot. The road opened up by the pioneer battalion was smooth, and the logistics baggage team did not lag behind. As night fell, the army reached the first line of gorges.
Under the painstaking persuasion of a group of generals, Blood Sword dismissed his plan to cross the first-line gorge overnight, and ordered the army to set up camp. Tomorrow morning, they will set off through the first line of gorges and continue to pursue the team of the lonely boat.
With a disgusting expression as if he had eaten stool, Blood Sword sat down in the tent with his head down. The generals were silent, and no one dared to touch the lord's brows at this time. At this time, a junior colonel hurriedly walked into the tent and said: "Enlighten the lord, the scout in front has come to report, and someone has been found in the jungle, please publicize it." ”
"What a guts." Bloodsword was even angrier. It's not enough to eat 300 troops, but you still want to eat the whole army? I'm afraid you'll be able to hold on. He immediately ordered without thinking: "Come on, let the scouts keep an eye on the point and find out...... No, immediately order five hundred Pu sword soldiers, and five hundred archers chase after him at night to bulldoze his camp. ”
"My lord, by all means."
A group of generals hurriedly persuaded them. The mountains and forests at night are a world of fierce beasts. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and you can't see your five fingers, and in such an environment, you are afraid that people will not catch up, and there will be a lot of battle damage.
"Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't understand? If they can walk at night, Lao Tzu's army can't? The blood sword glared, and immediately told the generals to obediently shut up.
A thousand soldiers and horses were quickly assembled. The ten centurions looked at each other helplessly, and they all saw the same sorrow in each other's eyes. Everyone is secretly unlucky, and they have such a task. However, the lord insisted on going his own way, and they could only stubbornly urge the team to hurry up and set off before it was completely dark. Luckily, it won't take long to complete the mission and come back. Bad luck...... Then we can only pray that we won't run into too much trouble.
Soon after the army had set out, they joined the scouts. Led by the scouts, a thousand soldiers and horses left the main road and plunged headlong into the dense jungle.
The night was as thick as a cloud of ink that could not be dissolved. A thousand soldiers and horses were very hard under the guidance of the scouts, and from time to time a soldier tripped over a vine and broke his leg. Occasionally, a few unlucky ghosts stepped on poisonous snakes by mistake, and in an instant their faces were black, and they died no more.
Ten centurions secretly complained. If this continues, sooner or later, morale will have to drop to freezing point, and it will be a blessing to be able to ensure that the team will not mutiny. So everyone summed it up and asked the scouts about it.
"Report, I found a stockade five miles ahead."
Before the scout could be cross-examined, another scout hurried to report. The spirits of the ten centurions suddenly perked. I am not afraid that the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the sky is dark, but I am afraid that I will not find anyone and suffer in the dense forest in vain. So everyone didn't interrogate the scouts, and immediately led the army to chase after them.
About an hour later, the army arrived outside the stockade. Centurions take a look. The good mood suddenly vanished. This village is not a military camp, but a barbarian village.
"Guys, should you attack this barbarian village?" A centurion had no choice but to throw out this awkward topic.
The centurions looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed. At this time, can you still say that you will not fight? It's getting late and late, and further down is the deep mountains and old forests. A thousand soldiers and horses were thrown in, and there would not even be a sound. After defeating this barbarian village, he will have some explanation to the lord, and when the time comes, he will not be thrown into the logistics team like the previous hard-working colleague. I don't know how long it will take to get the lord back into use.
"Fight, otherwise I want to be snubbed by the lord." The other centurion sniffed and said fiercely.
"Without further ado."
All the centurions immediately agreed. Who leads the team to attack head-on, who leads the team to outflank the rear, and who is responsible for sweeping the periphery, in a word, completely bulldoze this barbarian village.
After the discussion, the centurions immediately split up. Under the thick night, a thousand soldiers and horses surrounded this small barbarian village.
After about half an hour, the army was in place. The five centurions who were in charge of the frontal assault saw that the barbarian village was completely quiet, and only saw a few barbarians patrolling the night at the gate of the village, and immediately ordered a strong attack.
"Kill!"
The three hundred Pu sword soldiers immediately let out a chorus of shouts, and rushed towards the barbarian village under the leadership of the three generals. The other two generals commanded two hundred archers, and they followed closely, approaching about sixty or seventy paces away from the barbarian village, and immediately sent out a rain of arrows.
A few barbarians patrolling the night at the gate of the barbarian village never thought that someone would take advantage of the night to sneak attack the village. The rain of arrows fell, and several barbarians were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling. A terrible scream broke the silence of the night. The whole barbarian village suddenly came to life.
"Quick, turn over and open the gate." A centurion roared and roared, eager to turn into a giant and send his men who were busy climbing up the wooden wall to the wall.
One, two, three...... More and more Pu Dao soldiers climbed over the wooden wall and rushed to the gate of the village to open the gate together. As soon as the gate of the fortress opened, a hundred Pu sword soldiers and two hundred archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed in.
"But there are those who resist, kill!"
As the centurions drank together, the morale of the five hundred soldiers skyrocketed. But all the barbarians who ran out of the house in panic were either stabbed head-on or pierced through the body by sharp arrows. In just a short period of time, the entire barbarian village collapsed. Except for a few men who tried to resist, the vast majority of barbarian women, old and young, were driven to guard the open space in the village.
More than half an hour later, and not long after the last of the resisting barbarians had been destroyed, the other teams responsible for outflanking the rear and sweeping the perimeter also arrived at the stockade. The centurions met to take stock. In this battle, more than 200 people were killed and killed, and nearly 500 barbarians were captured.
After all the centurions counted the battle damage, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. The barbarians are brave and accustomed to walking in the mountains and forests. If it weren't for the sneak attack at night, the battle loss ratio might not have reached this level. This time, I finally didn't lose too much and took this barbarian village. More than 500 barbarian prisoners and looted gold, silver, furs and other booty were enough to offset the sin of not being able to discover the army of Xanadu Village.
After a careful search, the centurions set fire to their contentment, and escorted the barbarian captives and all sorts of booty back the way they came. No one noticed that in the mountains and forests not far from the barbarian village, several young barbarians looked at the village in the thick smoke, their expressions extremely painful and hideous.
One of the barbarian youths closed his eyes in pain, and resolutely turned around and left: "Let's go, go to Wuniutong to find Uncle." He will take revenge on those Han people on behalf of our Lan Mantong. ”
