Chapter 101: Night Attack
The cold wind howled in the capital in February and the sky was filled with yellow sand.
Mu Tiantao held a spear in his hand, and the armor reflected the cold light.
There were soldiers crowding behind him. The clanging of armors kept ringing, and the heavy breathing of the soldiers made the small open space behind Zhengyang Gate look extremely cramped.
Mu Tiantao is preparing to attack the camp!
Since it was a camp attack, he could not bring too many soldiers and horses, so he only brought a thousand people.
These one thousand people are people that Mu Tiantao can really trust. They were originally homeless people. Since they followed Mu Tiantao, they have to change from wanderers and farmers to Became a warrior.
Mu Tiantao stroked the white silk tied around his neck and said in a deep voice: "We must be fast. Only by rushing into the enemy camp quickly and completely disrupting the enemy camp can we win." Hope.
Brothers, after this battle, both those who died in the battle and those who survived will become our generals in Prince Mu’s Mansion. Those who died in the battle will be buried and your families will be settled. , I, Mu Tiantao, will definitely not be hungry if I am the one who survives.”
“Prince, don’t worry, we are committed to you, we will live and die together.”
Mu Tiantao laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, you won't die if you follow me. Remember, as long as you enter the military camp, don't save things like grenades. Victory or defeat depends on this battle."
Everyone agreed with a roar.
The moon slowly hid behind the clouds, and the earth became dark.
The gate of Zhengyangmen opened quietly.
A gust of cold wind hit the fool in his face.
Mu Tiantao took a long breath, covered his mouth and nose with white silk, and left the capital. Behind him, thousands of soldiers also wearing black armor followed closely.
The route had been verified long ago, so these thousands of people remained silent, one after another in silence.
The Zhengyang Gate was closed again. Xue Xiucai held two grenades tightly in his hands and watched the large group of people go away. He believed that a good person like Shi Ziye would return safely.
The weather was too cold, and Liu Zongmin's sentinels did not perform their duties. They either stayed in empty houses abandoned by the people to warm themselves and chat, or fell asleep wrapped in thick quilts they had snatched.
The whistles in the sky resounded throughout the earth, and by the time these sentinels discovered that there was an enemy situation, it was already too late.
Mu Tiantao and his party did not give them any chance.
Fifteen miles, they walked for more than half an hour, and they also pulled out six exposed posts and hidden sentries.
Seeing Liu Zongmin's camp right in front of him, Mu Tiantao took out a small bottle from his sleeve and another small porcelain bottle. After mixing the two, he quickly applied it on his armor and face. superior.
As a result, a light cyan figure quickly appeared in the dark night...
Everyone gasped when they looked at the ghost-like person in front of them.He said with a cold breath: "Prince!"
The ghostly green figure suddenly disappeared again, and Mu Tiantao's voice came from the darkness: "Don't be afraid, it's me, follow the plan Fight!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the camp.
Everyone watched as Mu Tiantao's figure magically appeared and disappeared in the darkness. The camp was the same as usual, with no walls and no antlers or branches. The old and weak generals were placed at the outermost edge, and he led the most elite soldiers to stay at the back.
This is a way of setting up camp that the bandits have tried and matured a long time ago. Even if the camp is stolen, only the old and the weak will be lost, and it will have no impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
As long as the military camp in front is attacked, Liu Zongmin in the back can quickly organize the real gangsters to launch a counterattack.
Dense grenades exploded in the messy camp. The old and weak bandits were like wasps exploding their nests, crowding towards the center of the camp from all directions with a bang.
The bandit in charge of the front camp was Hao Wanshou. Seeing the fire in the camp and the explosions one after another, he was not very panicked. After ordering his subordinates to blow the horn to report the news to Liu Zongmin, he led his subordinates to hold up The torch gathered more people while holding a long knife and moving towards the place where the explosion came from.
With the appearance of Hao Wanshou, more people gathered towards him.
Suddenly, a light cyan phantom suddenly appeared from the darkness, and a spear suddenly pierced Hao Wanshou's throat, followed by a shrill voice coming out of thin air.
"Today I will avenge the innocent people who died."
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a long knife piercing the air came from around the light blue phantom, and the others had not recovered from the shock. The thieves who woke up were stabbed one after another and screamed in agony.
When they tried to look for the phantom again, the phantom seemed to disappear in an instant.
There were just screams coming from the darkness.
One, two, three sounds made the bandits frightened. Just when they formed a circle back to back and wanted to continue searching for the ghost, two grenades exploded behind them. He fell to the ground in an instant.
The explosions on the opposite side seemed to be more intensive, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.
When the ghost appeared in the darkness again, everyone felt that the person standing in front of them was not a person, but a skeleton with wings.
"Ghost-"
Finally one of the thieves couldn't stand the pressure, screamed, turned around and ran back.
When Mu Tiantao saw that Xue Yuandu had led his men to kill them, he closed his black cloak again and continued to kill in the direction in which the deserters were escaping.
When he closed the cloak, he disappeared in the darkness. When he opened the cloak, the terrifying ghost figure would reappear..
The enemies hiding in the darkness are not scary. What scares the thieves the most is the ghost.
Especially when ghosts appear and disappear to kill people, these people who are not very strong-willed will immediately collapse.
At first, it was just a small group of people running away, and soon the small group of people turned into a group of people. Finally, the breathless thieves suppressed by the grenades took the opportunity to escape.
Every time Mu Tiantao's figure appeared, it gave Xue Yuandu and others the direction...
On a hill outside Liu Zongmin's camp, Han Lingshan put down his hand He used the telescope and asked Xia Wanchun beside him: "How did he make himself look like a human or a ghost?"
Xia Wanchun said: "You know, there are always some boring people in the academy. People often like to mess around, and the things Mu Tiantao uses are things that idle people come up with out of boredom."
"The point is. You know the belly of a firefly. It glows in the summer night. Then a bad guy cut open the belly of the firefly to see what happened.
Who knows, after dissecting the firefly's belly, it was discovered that there are two small sacs in the firefly's belly. As long as the contents of these two small sacs are mixed, will-o'-the-wisps can be emitted.
This. Items are usually used by boring people in school to scare female classmates. Later, the female classmates used this thing to scare the boring people out of their wits...
Unexpectedly, Mu Tiantao actually took a fancy to this thing. I got so much for myself, but I didn’t expect that it would look good when used on the battlefield.”
After hearing this, Han Lingshan nodded heavily and said, “This is a good thing, why didn’t you find it? "Is it worth it?" These three things can accomplish my intention.
So, I don’t care about such things for poor people.”
Han Lingshan looked like he was on fire. The fire broke out in Liu Zongmin's military camp and he shook his head and said: "Don't be so careless in the future. Look, Mu Tiantao's 1,000 men are useless against Liu Zongmin's 50,000-strong army.
Now Well, a ghostly shadow caused Liu Zongmin's front army to collapse. Now he is being driven by Mu Tiantao to run towards Liu Zongmin's rear army. This will disrupt Liu Zongmin's rear army and prevent him from quickly controlling the situation, thus giving Mu Tiantao left a chance to return calmly.
From this point of view, his performance is better than your performance in Hexi."
Xia Wanchun sneered. : "Just use this thing to deceive a bandit like Liu Zongmin. If he dared to use it against us, he would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by the blunderbuss."
Han Lingshan heard a burst of noise in his ears. After the sound of more intensive grenade explosions, he said to Xia Wanchun: "Let's go, Mu TianIt's time for Tao to go back. "
Xia Wanchun said: "This battle is of little use. It can't kill many bandits, but it has burned so many tents and food. Mu Tiantao can be promoted to the rank of Duke when he returns, right? "
Han Lingshan sighed: "It depends on how he responds. "
Mu Tiantao launched three attacks on Liu Zongmin's location in the dark. Unfortunately, Liu Zongmin retreated three times without knowing the situation clearly.
There are these After taking time to prepare, Liu Zongmin finally understood that tonight's seemingly massive raid was actually just the action of a small number of people.
It was too dark and the horses could not run, anyway. It was about to dawn, and Liu Zongmin had ordered the cavalry to be ready. As soon as the sky got a little brighter, the cavalry would immediately attack and trample this small group of enemies into a pulp.
Mu Tiantao was extremely unwilling. Liu Zongmin, the giant bandit, was very close. He was standing under the bright lights, but he had no way to break in.
The originally defeated bandits had stopped, and the officers shouted in the darkness. It was very harsh.
This was the only effect that could be achieved tonight. Mu Tiantao sighed secretly, turned around and left.
The cyan image was floating in the air. , Xue Yuandu's eyes never left Mu Tiantao. When he found that Mu Tiantao had begun to retreat, he called on all his subordinates, threw a row of grenades forward, and ran away.
Liu Zongmin also saw the ghost that was quickly moving away. Until now, he didn't know what it was.
Although he was very hesitant, he still sent out infantry to chase, while he stayed behind. Waiting for the sky to light up.
The officers and soldiers were running in front, and the bandits began to boldly chase after them.
Mu Tian saw the city wall right in front of him. Tao looked back and saw that in the thin morning light, a group of cavalry was passing over the infantry and rushing towards him.
Some of the soldiers who could not run were trampled down by the horses and then trampled into pieces.
He did not go to save the soldiers, but pulled out a gunpowder rope from the ground, lit it with a fire stick, and then threw it on the ground. He watched the gunpowder rope gleaming with fire and penetrated into the soil. Inside, Mu Tiantao stood on a dirt bag, pointed his spear at the place where the bandits and cavalry were coming, and roared: "Go to hell, all of you! ”
