Chapter 524 You don’t understand my tenderness

There are flat slopes around the campsite, and below the slope, there are dense forests. Zhang Zhun and others have been down from the slope and come to the dense forest in front. In early September, most of the trees have not yet begun to fall off. The forest here is even more lush and lush with branches and leaves. In the night, you can't see the two feet away in front.

The group came to a gap and could see it farther away. Because there were a large number of fires in the distance. Among the fires, there were shadows and people riding on horseback. There was no doubt that these were horse thieves trying to attack the Hu Ben Army. Their arrival was indeed relatively quick. The Hu Ben Army had just set up camp and they came.

Obviously, the horse thieves were preparing to surprise the Hu Ben Army and caught the Hu Ben Army off guard, but they did not escape the Hu Ben Army's lurking whistle. Since sneak attacks are no longer possible, they can only launch a strong attack. Looking at the posture of the horse thieves gathering there, they should be discussing how to launch a strong attack.

"Horse thief!"

Liu Xing shouted uneasyly.

Zhang Zhun raised his thousand-mile mirror and carefully looked at the horse thieves team in front of him through the gaps in the woods. The number of horse thieves was about four or five hundred. They were wandering in an open space west of the camp, and several people with the appearance of leaders were pointing fingers at the camp on the side of the Hu Ben Army, as if they were discussing something.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun pointed out briefly that there were only less than 200 horses in the team of horse thieves, and the other horse thieves were walking. In other words, even if Zhang Zhun could seize more than half of the war horses, it would be only about 100, which was a drop in the bucket! It would be impossible to seize all the war horses.

It was night at this time, and the horse thieves felt the bright torches, illuminating the mountains in red. The red flames made Liu Xing feel very nervous. The flames projected from the gaps in the woods and landed on the Hu Ben Army's campground, like red swords, cutting the campground into dozens of pieces. He felt that his heart had been raised to his throat. If the horse thieves rushed up now, they would not be able to escape.

“Huh?”

Thinking of this, Liu Xing subconsciously looked around him, but found that only he and Zhang Zhun were there, and even Liu Mang and Brother Wei were gone. He couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at the camp behind, it was quiet, and there was no one at all.

"Governor..."

Liu Xing vaguely felt something, but there was no language to express it accurately.

"It's okay, we'll concentrate on watching the show."

Zhang Zhun said lightly, not caring about the sudden appearance of horse thief. After that, he sat down behind the big tree, then closed his eyes to rest. The horse thief to the west was only one hundred feet away from his position, but he was so calm.

Liu Xing couldn't sit still. The arrival of a large group of horse thieves made him feel extremely in a state of extreme flares. He looked up at the big tree, determined to climb to the top of the big tree, and check the movements around him. He did it as soon as he did, and Liu Xing immediately climbed up along the big tree, climbed to the top of the tree, and then found a gap where he could see the most places, and lay on it and looked around.

Sure enough, after climbing onto the big tree, Liu Xing found that his vision had widened a lot and could see a lot of situations. Not far to the west, maybe one hundred and fifty or sixty feet away, there were a large number of horse thieves approaching the camp from the gaps in the woods. In order to illuminate the road ahead, many horse thieves were holding burning torches in their hands.

These horse thieves were the ones from Wulian Mountain. He had seen these people. When the horse thieves were rampant in Andongwei, Liu Xing looked at these horse thieves fiercely on the top of Andongcheng. Now, they appeared again, but he had no protection from the walls of Andongcheng. For a moment, Liu Xing felt that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot came.

A bandit riding on a horse fell down from the horse's back.

The other horse thieves hurriedly stopped moving forward, hid behind the trees, and did not dare to move.

Liu Xing curiously looked for the source of the gunfire, but found nothing. The one who shot must have shot was undoubtedly the Hu Ben Army. However, he did not know where the Hu Ben Army was hidden. Due to the poor visibility in the woods and the night was also night, the white smoke produced when the muskets were fired was shrouded in darkness and leaves, and there was no clue at all.

The horse thieves holding torches cannot see where the enemy is hiding. Due to the firelight, the horse thieves are in the open and the Hu Ben Army is in the dark. The horse thieves stand in the open and look in the dark, so there are naturally many details that cannot be seen clearly. However, if the torches are thrown away, they cannot see the way. There is no way, so they have to reduce the number of torches. So, the originally red firelight gradually turns yellow and eventually turns yellow.

"superior!"

"forward!"

"Kill them!"

In a vague way, Liu Xing could hear the scream of the horse thief leader.

He seemed to be able to see the ferocious face of the horse thief leader. They must have thought that the Hu Ben Army was dead this time. Three hundred people dared to go to the crossroads, which was simply seeking death. The commander of the Hu Ben Army was a little mentally retarded and actually chose such a camp that could be defended without any danger. As long as the horse thieves passed through this woods, they could attack the camp directly.

Relatively speaking, the Hu Ben Army was extremely quiet. Except for Zhang Zhun sitting under the tree, Liu Xing could not see any Hu Ben Army, and even Liu Mang, who was still beside him just now, could not see it at all. The Hu Ben Army, which had hundreds of people, disappeared into this dense forest, as if a bucket of water had been poured into the desert, disappearing without a trace. However, Liu Xing could feel that the Hu Ben Army, which had more than 300 people, was hiding in this forest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the horse thief.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, another gunshot came and another horse thief fell off the horse's back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time, several consecutive gunfires were fired, and several horse thieves fell off the horse's back. Because there were too many horse thieves falling down at the same time, a small riot suddenly caused. Many horse thieves released muskets or shot arrows into the woods beside them. However, even the horse thieves themselves may not know whether they hit the target.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Before Liu Xing could react, suddenly, gunfire sounded like a sudden explosion of firecrackers. While moving, the horse thief was shot by Minnie bombs like a storm. Countless torches fell to the ground, followed by the horse thief's dense screams and the war horses neighed in panic.

Liu Xing looked in the direction where the screams were the most intense, and was shocked to find that there were actually a large number of horse thieves falling down there. After a rough glance, at least fifteen or sixteen horse thieves fell to the ground. The horse thieves kept moaning heart-wrenching and painful moans. There were also horse thieves struggling desperately on the ground. In a vague way, the yellow soil turned red, obviously stained with blood.

Some torches that fell to the ground ignited the horse thief's clothes and ignited the fire. The burning horse thief's corpse naturally had no reaction at all. However, if the wounded horse thief was burned, especially those who could not extinguish the flames themselves, the painful scream would be terrible.

"But don't cause forest fires..."

For some reason, when Liu Xing saw such a tragic situation, he was worried that the torch that fell to the ground would cause a forest fire. It is September, the autumn is clear and the weather is dry and the weather is dry, and many trees are dry. If a forest fire is triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable. As for the life and death of those horse thieves, he is completely unwilling to worry about the life and death of those horse thieves. It is best that they will wail in pain for three days and three nights before slowly dying. Speaking of the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain and the ordinary military households of Andongwei, no one does not hate them.

Fortunately, the torches that fell to the ground were picked up by the horse thieves. The sporadic wildfires caused by them were also extinguished by the horse thieves. Because, in terms of wind direction and terrain, if the wildfires burned, the horse thieves themselves were unlucky. If this forest burned, they would not be able to continue to attack the Hu Ben Army's camp. From this perspective, the horse thieves obviously did not notice that the Hu Ben Army was hiding in this forest.

Obviously, after suffering from the cold guns of the Hu Ben Army, the horse thieves were a little confused and they had to retreat temporarily. After that, they did not launch an attack for a long time. The leader of the horse thieves kept studying the attack plan later. Soon after, more torches were lit, so the light in the mountains began to turn red again, and Liu Xing began to feel the pressure again.

The Hu Ben Army was still quiet, as if there was no sound. No matter what the horse thief did, the Hu Ben Army was always in a constant way to respond to changes. Zhang Zhun, who was under the tree, did not issue new orders, and he felt as if he was asleep.

This strange calm made Liu Xing feel a little breathless. He had never seen such a battle before. In the past, the fire of muskets had to line up to fight. Both sides chose to fight in an open area. Scattered like this, it was impossible to achieve any results. However, the Hu Ben Army adopted this scattered combat method and achieved good results. Liu Xing had to admit that he was seriously unable to keep up with the pace of the Hu Ben Army.

After a while, the horse thieves launched an attack again. This time, the horse thieves took a scattered formation and rushed from all over the surroundings to the Hu Ben Army's camp. In order to prevent the intensive killing of the Hu Ben Army, the distance between the horse thieves was also farther away. In order to prevent attacks, the muskets, or bows and arrows in the hands of the horse thieves, aimlessly shooting around in chaos. For a moment, all the mountains were filled with gunshots.

Liu Xing's heart was raised to his throat again.

The Hu Ben Army has a small number of people. Can it stop so many horse thieves from attacking at the same time?

"Bang!"

"Bang"

"Bang!"

At this moment, intermittent gunfire sounded.

Amid the gunfire, horse thieves kept falling. No matter which direction the horse thieves came from, they were constantly knocked down by the Hu Ben Army. Some horse thieves tried to hide behind the trees and avoid the enemy shooting in front of them. However, the shooting from the side easily knocked them to the ground. Those horse thieves could not estimate at which corner the Hu Ben Army would suddenly appear. Therefore, their progress was tense and they kept looking around, resulting in a very slow progress. The slower their advancement speed, the greater the chance of being hit.

Liu Xing suddenly realized that the campsite was just a bait, but actually a trap. Zhang Zhun deliberately made the horse thieves feel that the campsite was easily attacked. In fact, the horse thieves had been attacked on the road to the campsite. The campsite was just an illusion, and this small woods were the real battlefield. The horse thieves accidentally entered the battlefield.

Relying on the long range and high accuracy of the Hu Ben gun, the Hu Ben Army can completely use the method of shooting cold guns, one shot at a time, and slowly consume the horse thieves' troops. Because in such a forest, large-scale troops cannot be used at all, and the superior troops of the horse thieves are of no use.

In fact, Zhang Zhun's strategy is indeed like this. He lured horse thieves to attack the camp, but secretly set up an ambush in the woods. The horse thieves were originally ambushing the Hu Ben Army, but now they have become the Hu Ben Army ambushing the horse thieves. Unfortunately, the hot-headed horse thieves seem to have not realized this. If they calm down, they should retreat quickly and not continue to entangle with the Hu Ben Army in the woods. Facing the Hu Ben Gun, the horse thieves have no advantage at all. But how can the horse thieves be willing to give up attacking the Hu Ben Army's camp?

Deploying a camp that looks flawless is to give the horse thieves hope and motivation so that they don’t give up fighting easily. If they don’t give the horse thieves some hope, how can the horse thieves be willing to attack? Or the same goes for the war, the main purpose of war is to eliminate the enemy’s living power. The same is true for dealing with the horse thieves. As long as the horse thieves are eliminated, it will be safe to enter the Cross Road Town. The current situation is that the longer the battle lasts, the greater the casualties of the horse thieves.

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. When the horse thief thought he could easily catch Zhang Zhun, they were already falling down one by one in the cold guns. Such casualties are very fragmented, and it is difficult to detect them by accident. By the time they notice it, it is no longer recovered. If you want to use a sentence to describe Zhang Zhun's strategy, it can only be my tenderness. You don't understand it.

Zhang Zhun’s requirements for the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were very simple. Each person killed at least one horse thief. If he killed two, he would be praised if he killed three. If he killed four, he would be met with him in person. If he killed five... I’m sorry, there are not so many horse thiefs at all.

"Put the action."

In the darkness, someone's low call came.

This is the voice of Shangguan Savior. The sniper team led by Shangguan Savior and others lurked in the woods and specifically fired cold guns. When the horse thieves were trying to get closer, they had killed at least four horse thieves and seized two war horses. However, on average, less than one person was still there. After the sniper team was adjusted, there were eight people. At least four horse thieves had to be killed to meet the minimum requirements.

Shangguan Shuigu's name is a bit strange. In fact, it was the result of the teacher accidentally writing the wrong one. The military households were basically illiterate, and the children's names were all offered by old men from private schools, and they were usually charged three cents. If you want to get a better one, you have to pay five cents. Shangguan Shuigu's father originally wanted to give five cents and give a better name, but after the private school teacher gave a good name, he wanted to change his mind and save two cents, so he said that the name of the teacher was not good, so he only gave three cents.

The old man in the private school didn't say anything, but silently took a piece of paper and wrote down Shangguan's name. As a result, he didn't know what the name was, but it turned into a bone-squeezing, which naturally made a mockery of his father, and even the oil in the bones was squeezed. But his father didn't recognize the word and could not feel the old man's irony at all, so he followed, so his name became Shangguan's name. However, in the Hu Ben Army, which generally had a low cultural level, no one noticed that such a name was strange.

"Xiao Ye, move gently!"

Shangguan squeezed his team members.

Xiao Ye has good shooting skills and quick reactions, but is more impatient. In the battle just now, Xiao Ye has never found the target to shoot, so his mentality is a little unstable. Among the group members, no one is willing to drag others back. Just now, Xiao Ye can't wait to shoot.

"Bang!"

Not far away, a horse thief fell off the horse's back.

The two horse thieves next to them were shocked and hurriedly searching for the enemy's movements around. However, unfortunately, they could not see where the Hu Ben Army was hiding. The horse thieves were in the open and the Hu Ben Army was in the dark. How easy was it for them to discover the target?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Ye and Xiao Chen fired guns at the same time.

The two horse thieves fell to the ground, and the bows and arrows in their hands were also thrown aside.

Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang were on the side to guard against the horse thieves who might run up at any time.

After waiting for a while, no horse thieves came up, so Xiao Chen went out, pulled the reins of the war horse, and tied them to the tree next to them to avoid getting lost. These war horses will belong to the Hu Ben Army after the battle.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a while, three more horse thieves came over quietly. It can be imagined that what awaited them was the accurate and fierce Minnie bullet. After three consecutive gunshots, all three horse thieves fell down.

“Eight!”

Someone whispered.

The eight members of the sniper team happened to kill eight horse thieves, which was considered to meet the most basic requirements. However, no one would be satisfied. They had to create more results. Therefore, they continued to devote themselves to the battle.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
