Chapter 101 Night Attack
Chapter 101 Night Attack
In February, the cold wind roared in the capital and the yellow sand filled the sky.
Mu Tiantao held a spear in his hand, and his armor reflected a cold light.
Behind him were the soldiers, and the clanging sound of the armor continued to sound, and the heavy breathing of the soldiers made the small open space behind Zhengyangmen look extremely cramped.
Mu Tiantao is ready to attack the camp!
Since it was an attack on the camp, he could not bring too many troops, so he only brought a thousand people.
These thousand people are truly trustworthy people. They were originally homeless people. Since following Mu Tiantao, they have to transform from wanderers, farmers, and warriors.
Mu Tiantao stroked the white silk tied around his neck and said in a deep voice: "We must be fast. Only by quickly entering the enemy camp and completely disrupting the enemy camp can we have hope of victory.
Brothers, after this battle, whether those who died in battle or those who survived will become the generals of my Prince Mu's mansion. If those who died in battle, we will be buried and your family will be placed. If those who survived, I, Mu Tiantao, would definitely not be hungry if you survived."
"Criminal, don't worry, we will follow you, we will live and die together."
Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I can't die with me. Remember, as long as I enter the military camp, I don't save on things like grenades. Win or lose, and fight here."
Everyone agreed.
The moon slowly hid behind the clouds, and the earth was pitch black.
The city gate of Zhengyang Gate opened quietly.
A cold wind swept over the fool.
Mu Tiantao took a long breath, covered his mouth and nose with white silk, and left the capital. Behind him, thousands of soldiers wearing black armor followed closely.
The route has been verified long ago, so the thousands of people did not speak a word, one followed the other silently.
Zhengyang Gate was closed again. Xue Xiucai held two grenades tightly in his hand. Seeing the large group of people leaving, he believed that a person as good as the prince would definitely return safely.
The weather was too cold, and Liu Zongmin's detectives did not do their duty. They either stayed in the empty houses discarded by the people and chatted, or slept with thick quilts wrapped in the snatched ones.
The whistle wind in the sky sounded across the earth, and it was too late to wait until these whistle detectives discovered that there was an enemy situation.
Mu Tiantao and his group did not give them any chance.
Fifteen miles away, they walked for half an hour and pulled out six open and secret whistles.
Seeing Liu Zongmin's camp just 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 to his armor and face.
So, a light blue figure quickly appeared in the dark...
Everyone looked at the ghostly man in front of them and took a deep breath and said, "Criminal!"
I heard the ghostly blue figure suddenly disappear again, and Mu Tiantao's voice came from the darkness and said, "Don't be afraid, it's me, fight according to the plan!"
After saying that, he rushed towards the camp first.
Everyone watched Mu Tiantao's figure appear magically and disappear in the darkness. Xue Xiucai's son Xue Yuandu shouted: "The prince is possessed by the gods, kill him!"
Liu Zongmin's camp was exactly the same as usual, with no walls or deer antler branches. It was just that the old and weak among the generals were placed at the outermost periphery, and he led the most elite soldiers to stay at the back.
This is a way of camping that bandits have long been tried and mature. Even if they are stolen, they will only lose the old and weak, and they will have no impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
As long as the front barracks are sneak attacked, Liu Zongmin behind can quickly organize the real bandits to launch a counterattack.
The dense grenades exploded in the messy camp. The old and weak bandits were like hornets blowing their nests, crowding from the center of the camp from all directions with a bang.
The bandit in charge of the front camp was Hao Wanshou. Seeing the flames in the military camp soaring into the sky, explosions were heard one after another, but he was not very panicked. After ordering his subordinates to blow the horn to report to Liu Zongmin, he led his subordinates to hold a torch while gathering more people, and carrying a long sword to advance to the place where the explosion sounded.
With the emergence of Hao Wanshou, more people gathered towards him.
Suddenly, a light green phantom suddenly appeared from the darkness, and a long spear suddenly pierced through Hao Wanshou's throat, followed by a shrill voice coming out of thin air.
"Today's revenge for the innocent people who died."
As soon as the sound fell, the sound of a long sword breaking through the air came from the light green phantom. The other bandits who had not yet woken up from their horror were all hit by the knife and screamed in pain.
When they wanted to find the Phantom again, the Phantom seemed to disappear in an instant.
But there were constant screams coming from the darkness.
One, two, three, and one, the sound made the bandits frightened. Just as they formed a circle back to back and wanted to continue searching for the ghost, two grenades exploded behind their backs and fell to the ground in an instant.
The explosions on the opposite side seemed to be more intense, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.
When the ghost appeared in the dark again, everyone felt that it was not a person standing in front of them, but a skeleton with wings.
"Ghost-"
Finally, a bandit soldier couldn't stand the pressure, screamed and turned around and ran backwards.
Seeing that Xue Yuandu had already brought the people to kill him, Mu Tiantao closed his black cloak again and continued to chop and kill along the direction of the deserters' escape.
When he closed the cloak, he lost his shadow in the darkness. When he opened the cloak, the terrifying ghost would reappear.
The enemy hiding in the dark is not scary, and the ghost that scares the thieves the most is the ghost.
Especially when ghosts appear and kill people, these people with not strong will immediately collapse.
At first, only a small group of people were running away, and soon a small group of people turned into a group of people. In the end, the thieves who were suppressed by grenades took the opportunity to escape.
Every time Mu Tiantao's figure appears, he guides Xue Yuandu and others...
On a small hill outside Liu Zongmin's camp, Han Lingshan put down the telescope in his hand and said to Xia Wanchun beside him: "How did he make himself neither human nor ghost?"
Xia Wanchun said: "You know that there are always some boring people in the academy. They often like to mess around. The things Mu Tiantao uses are things made out of boredom by idle people."
"Say the point."
"The point is the belly of the firefly. You know, the belly of the firefly will glow on summer nights, and then a good person cuts the belly of the firefly to see what's going on.
Who knew that after dissecting the firefly's belly, it was found that there were two small sacs in the firefly's belly. As long as the things in these two small sacs were mixed together, they could emit ghost fire.
This thing is usually something that boring people in the academy use to scare female classmates. Later, the female classmates use this thing to scare boring people to death...
I didn’t expect Mu Tiantao to take a fancy to this thing and made so much for himself. 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 discover the value?"
Xia Wanchun said: "I discovered it, but after measuring it, I found that this thing is useless to me. I usually use muskets when I fight. If the muskets don't work, I use grenades. If the grenades don't work, I use guns. If the grenades don't work, I use cannons. Generally, these three things can fulfill my intentions.
So, I disdained this kind of thing that poor people use."
Han Lingshan looked at Liu Zongmin's military camp, which had already ignited a fire and shook his head and said, "Don't be so careless in the future. Look, Mu Tiantao's 1,000 people were useless in Liu Zongmin's 50,000 troops.
Now, a ghost shadow caused Liu Zongmin's front army to collapse. Now he was driven to escape to Liu Zongmin's rear army by Mu Tiantao. This would disrupt Liu Zongmin's rear army and make him unable to quickly control the situation, thus leaving Mu Tiantao a chance to return calmly.
From this point of view, people's performance is better than you in Hexi."
Xia Wanchun sneered and said, "It's just a matter of using this thing to deceive local thieves like Liu Zongmin. If he dared to use it against us, he would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by a musket."
After hearing a denser grenade explosion in Han Lingshan's ear, he said to Xia Wanchun: "Let's go, Mu Tiantao should go back."
Xia Wanchun said: "This battle is not very useful, and it cannot kill many bandits. However, after burning so many tents and food, Mu Tiantao will be promoted to Duke when he returns, right?"
Han Lingshan sighed and said, "It depends on how he deals with it."
Mu Tiantao launched three attacks on Liu Zongmin’s place in the dark. Unfortunately, Liu Zongmin retreated three times in a row without knowing the situation.
After having this time to prepare, Liu Zongmin finally understood that this seemingly massive raid tonight was actually just the behavior of a very small number of people.
It was too dark and the war horses could not run. Anyway, the sky was about to dawn. Liu Zongmin had ordered the cavalry to prepare. Once the sky was slightly brighter, the cavalry immediately attacked and trampled the small group of enemies into meat paste.
Mu Tiantao was extremely unwilling to accept it. Liu Zongmin, a giant bandit, was so close that he stood under the shaking lights, but he couldn't break in.
The bandits who had already dispersed had stopped, and the officers shouting in the dark was very harsh.
This effect can only be achieved tonight. Mu Tiantao sighed secretly, turned around and left.
The blue sage in the dark night was floating in the air, and Xue Yuandu's eyes never left Mu Tiantao. When he found that Mu Tiantao had begun to retreat, he called on all his subordinates to throw out a row of grenades forward, and then ran away.
Liu Zongmin also saw the ghost that was quickly moving away. Until now, he didn't know what it was.
Despite his hesitation, he sent infantry to chase him, while he himself stayed there and waited for the sky to light up.
The officers and soldiers ran in a hurry in front, and the bandits began to bravely chase them from behind.
Seeing the city wall right in front of him, Mu Tiantao looked back and saw that in the thin morning light, a team of cavalry was passing over the infantry and pounced towards him.
Some soldiers who could not run were trampled down by war horses and then trampled into meat paste.
Instead of saving the soldiers, he pulled out a gunpowder rope from the ground, lit it with a fire stick and threw it on the ground. Seeing the gunpowder rope flashing with a fire, Mu Tiantao stood on a bale and pointed a spear at the place where the bandits and cavalry rushed to, yelling: "You all go to die!"
