Chapter 61 The starry night destroys the cottage, and the Tartars ask for reinforcements
"Hey, the people behind you keep up!"
Picking up his whistle to imitate the call of an eagle, Wang Yunde waved his hand to the soldiers behind him.
Seeing his order, hundreds of soldiers immediately came out of the jungle. Each of them was dressed in a thick coarse cloth shirt, carrying a crossbow on his back, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a round shield on his hand, obviously fully equipped.
Looking into the distance, Wang Yunde glanced at the bonfire burning in the distance, and said secretly: "That's where the enemy is stationed?"
Following his gaze, they saw a bonfire burning in a narrow valley, separated by wooden rafts to prevent wild beasts from attacking, and in the center there was a tent, and I don't know how many people were in it!
"Sir, what should we do next?" the soldiers asked, staring into the distance.
At this moment, there were several tiger roars in the distance, one high and one low, like music. When Wang Yunde heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Everyone is silent, wait for them to act first, and then we will act." ”
As he spoke, another pair of centaurs came out of the jungle. There were also nearly 100 people, but this team was dressed in gray clothes, and the long knives in their hands were also tightly wrapped in linen, so that they did not leak a trace of luster. They hid their bodies in the night, their steps light and did not make the slightest sound, and quickly came to the bottom of the camp, and they were silent one by one, waiting for the time.
A hundred zhang away from the cottage, the group had already opened their crossbows and fastened crossbow arrows on them.
Although the sky was dark at this time, Wang Yunde saw it really because he had practiced the "Divine Eye Technique", and immediately ordered: "Launch!"
At this moment, dozens of crossbow arrows immediately broke through the air, and in an instant, they came to the front of the cottage.
As early as the first round of shooting, they quickly died, and the crossbow arrows pierced into the trees with a loud bang, and the whole body of the crossbow was shattered, and the gunpowder and kerosene filled with it were all spilled, and endless flames burst out from the ground, igniting all the surrounding trees, and the burning flames dispelled all the darkness around them, and also reflected the soldiers who had just reacted with a pale face.
"Kill!"
Under the walled city, dozens of iron claws were thrown out one after another.
By hanging down the rope, everyone below immediately rushed into the cottage with force, and the long knives in their hands were pulled out of the linen, and they poured into the already chaotic cottage, slaughtering them like flowing water, but in an instant, the whole cottage had no other movement except for the "beep" sound of the burning trees.
At this moment, dozens of people in the distance shouted loudly, and the sword light in their hands flickered under the starlight, unusually dazzling, and they were about to rush to this side to rescue the entire cottage.
Wang Yunde knocked on it and shouted softly: "I expected you to hide next to you!"
As he spoke, he aimed at the person in front of him, pulled the trigger, and the people behind him followed his direction, aiming their crossbow arrows in the direction of the other party. The crossbow arrows were like a gentle drizzle, and each blow was full of strength, forcing everyone to retreat, not daring to approach in the slightest, and could only howl loudly in place.
In the distance, the people and horses who solved the entire cottage also fell back from it, and followed the mountain road into the night again, without missing a trace. In the mountain breeze, apart from the sound of the rattling leaves, where is there any other movement?
In the sky, a drizzle of rain followed the wind, quickly extinguishing the flames, and then the clouds dissipated in an instant by the fierce mountain wind. In the distance, the rising sun had leapt up the hill, and a few wisps of sunshine had fallen down the canopy of the cottage, but there was nothing here but a scorched tree and a roasted, blackened corpse.
Not far away, those people came here as if they were flying away.
Looking at their physical fitness, it is obvious that they are all powerful warriors, and their clothes are obviously not the style of the Central Plains, it is the monk He Badu and others who waved their troops south to attack the Chifeng Army.
With a sharp swing of the scimitar and cutting off a scorched tree next to him, Zhong Wei said with hatred: "Damn, those people escaped again!"
"Is this already the seventh cottage?" frowning, Monk He stared at the ruins in front of him.
The corpses on the ground were all lying on the ground, stabbed in their vests, and they were killed with one blow. In the tent, the soldiers were all lying on their beds, scorched by the flames without making the slightest movement, and they were killed in their sleep.
In such a situation, how did he not know what was going on here?
Zhong Wei hesitated for a long time, and when he saw his father's questioning, he had to bite the bullet and say, "That's right, marshal!"
"Didn't you organize manpower to resist the other party's attack?" The silent words, Monk He's words, obviously made the people around him very stressed.
"We organized. It's just that the other side moved too quickly, and we couldn't resist at all. Zhong Wei said helplessly: "The soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army are all born in the mountains, and they are the best at hunting in the mountains and forests, and even laying all kinds of traps to plot against us. Although I organized people to try to fight, they were all defeated by the other side. No way, there are so many trees here and the terrain is too complicated. On the contrary, no matter how we hide our figures, we are all found by the other side, and every time we find the other party's action, we want to stop it, but we are intercepted by the other party!"
They were born in the grassland, and when it comes to riding and archery, they are naturally the best and can be described as a people on horseback.
But in the midst of these mountains and mountains, there are too many differences with the plains, and many of the experience on the grasslands are not useful at all, and even the riding skills they are proud of are forcibly restricted, and they cannot be of any use at all. However, the Red Phoenix Army is mostly composed of mountain people here, and they have been active in this mountain forest since they were young, and they can be said to be extremely clear about the entire Taihang Mountain Range.
Not to mention that before the Red Phoenix Army was exposed, they trained in this vast mountain.
Laying traps, finding food, and tracking down enemies are the most valuable things of the Red Phoenix Army, and no one else can replicate them.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Feng is completely sure that he dares to fight with the other party in this Taihang Mountain Range. It relies on the terrain here, as well as the ancient mountain people who lived here, and the other party is not familiar with the battles here.
Everything is already counted in it.
Provoked by this, Monk He couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "That Xiao Feng is really too deceitful, could it be that I have no one to deny?" Pass my order, quickly recruit Yan Shi and Shi Tianze, and order the two of them to send troops together to encircle and suppress this Red Phoenix Army with me!"
It wasn't that he was incompetent, but because the Mongol cavalry was not familiar with how to fight in the mountains.
It is precisely because of this that Monk He thought of the two warlords and wanted to use their strength to eradicate the Red Phoenix Army together. (To be continued.) )
