If it weren't for knowing that the new chief had killed hundreds of barbarians with his own hands, the cavalry who had been left behind would really suspect that the new chief was from the barbarian side, and they were brought here just to kill them.
How can there be a person who throws away his subordinates immediately after throwing down a sentence
But the fact is that the sound of the horseshoes of the two officers quickly became farther and smaller in the darkness. It was unbelievable that the cavalry had to accept this result. They were abandoned by the officer...
They didn't know what to do other than find a place to camp temporarily.
"I thought about taking cavalry as a small guerrilla team and harassing the barbarian camp at night. But just now I suddenly realized that the barbarians can't see clearly at night, and they can't see clearly either. Don't rush into the barbarian team in a daze. If you can’t get out, let them go up again during the day. It’s up to us tonight!”
Abandoning the burden behind him, Cheng Huaiqian explained his thoughts to Xia Ruize, and Xia Ruize was speechless to find that the teammate's last sentence was full of excitement and expectation.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that his teammates wanted to make trouble again.
However, he is also a little excited and looking forward to what's going on? Could it be that he has been "infected" by his teammates
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize rode without stopping until nine o'clock at night, and finally saw the barbarian camp from a distance.
In the dark night, it is impossible to see how many barbarians there are, only that the area of the barbarian camp is not small. Cheng Huaiqian was the first to stop the horse and dismount the men, and the two of them put the horse in a hidden grove nearby.
Climbing up a small hill, the two ate buns and drank water to replenish their strength, while visually observing the barbarian camp.
After eating and drinking, the two ran to the barbarian camp.
With the blessing of super high agility, high-grade boots, and special body and leg skills, the two ran quickly and quietly.
To be honest, the reason why Cheng Huaiqian dared to challenge such a bold plan was that he had confidence in his heart. Even if he and Xia Ruize were discovered by the barbarians, the barbarians would not be able to catch up with them.
After running fast for more than ten minutes, the two slowed down and quietly approached the barbarian camp not far away.
The barbarians set up temporary camps in the desert. There are large and small tents in the camps. There are fires between the tents for lighting. There are also special patrol teams patrolling and guarding the camp from time to time.
It may be because they haven't really arrived at Bianlu City yet, but there are no barbarians in the camp who are eating, drinking and relaxing. Except for the patrol team and the barbarians who occasionally wake up at night, the entire camp has fallen into a deep sleep.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize observed the camp around the camp for nearly an hour, and roughly figured out the big tents of the high-level barbarians, the tents of the ordinary barbarians, the storage of grain and grass, and the feeding of war horses. Set it down and make a plan accordingly.
The entire barbarian camp is distributed in concentric circles, with more than two hundred tents in total. The most luxurious main tent is in the middle, and the surrounding tents become smaller and smaller. The most peripheral ones should be the tents of ordinary barbarians.
After figuring out the patrol rules of the patrol team, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize took advantage of the interval between patrols and carefully approached the stables where the horses were kept at the edge of the camp.
Two arrows killed the barbarian guarding the horse. The barbarian's fallen body was supported by two wooden branches, and he seemed to be just dozing off.
Riding skills come with a way to calm the mounts. Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize entered the stables, stroked and comforted the restless horses one by one, and at the same time untied the horses from the reins.
After such a lap, the entire herd of more than 200 war horses became quiet again, and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
After dealing with the horses, the two of them entered a tent that was slightly larger than the most common tents. They wanted to see what level of barbarians were inside.
They quietly entered the tent one after the other, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, and the two quickly killed the five barbarians sleeping in the tent in their sleep.
After solving it, the two judged from the clothes and weapons piled up in the tent that these should be five small barbarian commanders. The two simply took two sets of the little barbarian leader's clothes and put them on indiscriminately.
If some barbarian saw them, it was dark and dizzy, and they might mistake them for their compatriots.
The small barbarian leader is a good assassination target. If the two of them attack at the same time, there is a chance to completely eliminate the barbarians in a tent before they wake up.
However, after leaving the tent, the two of them still went to a larger tent to check the situation, and there were three big barbarian leaders resting inside.
After the two of them took down a big barbarian boss, the last big barbarian boss woke up. Fortunately, Cheng Huaiqian made up the knife quickly. If it was a second or two later, the barbarian woke up and shouted for help, and the night attack would have been revealed.
After that, the two specifically searched for the tent of the little barbarian leader to sneak attack. Only after the tents of the small barbarian bosses in the surrounding area have been cleared will they aim at the tent of the big barbarian boss.
There were fires burning between the tents in the barbarian camp, and some of the fires were still hot with drinking water or milk tea. Every time they met, the two of them would not hesitate to add a little spice called Mongolian sweat medicine to the water.
In this way, the two carefully shuttled between the tents, observing the movement of the surrounding tents and patrols before leaving each time.
If someone could see their trajectories from a high altitude, they would find that their goals were actually very clear. They assassinated all the way, drew a line in the barbarian camp all the way, and gradually approached the granary where the grain and grass were stored.
Three tents were piled up for the barbarian's grain and grass, and two ordinary barbarians were standing guard at the door of each granary.
Next, the two of them were not in a hurry to rush up, but avoided the attention of the guards, walked around the granary, and eliminated all the barbarians in the surrounding tents, large and small.
Just as the blood covered by the night was getting thicker, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the barbarian camp.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize looked at each other, and immediately realized that it was probably the barbarians who discovered the change in the camp. Immediately rushed out from the tent where he was, turned his hand to replace the crossbow arrows, and fired continuously, finishing off the guards guarding the granary from a distance.
The two rushed into the two granary tents without hindrance, took out the sesame oil, and dumped it on the grain pile without hesitation.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and more and more barbarians were awakened, and subconsciously picked up weapons and rushed out of the tent to check the situation.
The two people who sprinkled the sesame oil decisively lit the paper with a flint and threw it on the sesame oil. With a sound of "Boom!", the flames shot up high.
After igniting the granary, Cheng Huaiqian rushed out to join Xia Ruize, pulled up his teammates and started running. Fortunately, all the barbarians in the nearby tents were cleared away. Suddenly, no barbarians rushed up to surround them, allowing the two to approach the edge of the camp smoothly.
Only then did the barbarians notice these two unusual figures. There was nothing they could do. Most of the barbarians were tall and strong. In comparison, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were thin and short.
Most of the barbarians have just been awakened from sleep, their heads are still not very clear, and they have to be stunned for a few seconds to identify and react when they see the enemy. Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize are not, they made a quick decision and forced a bloody path.
Under the tremendous pressure, Xia Ruize only felt that the sword skills and body skills he had just learned had been brought into full play to the greatest extent.
More importantly, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize actually ran towards the area where the horses were, unlike what the barbarians had speculated that they would run out of the camp directly. The gunpowder clay pot, Xia Ruize followed by two rockets shot out.
"Bang!" "Bang!" two sounds, the clay pots exploded one by one, and the more than 200 horses in the entire stable were frightened instantly, and the reins that restrained them had already been untied, so the horses under stress ran out. stable.
At the critical moment, Cheng Huaiqian flipped his hand and released the amber horse, and while he got on the horse, he reached out to grab Xia Ruize by the waist of his teammate, and the two rode their horses and rushed out of the barbarian camp with the chaotic horses, and rushed all the way to the end. ahead.
Therefore, the panic-stricken war horses did not hesitate to choose to follow the front "leader" and start galloping.
There were also barbarians chasing up trying to control the mad horses, but firstly they had to avoid Xia Ruize's crossbow arrows, and secondly, once they left the area illuminated by the camp fire and could not control the mad horses, even if they rode on the horses, the barbarians would not be able to control them. It is easy to be thrown off by the horse because you can't see the road clearly and can't adjust your posture according to the road conditions in time.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the entire stable emptied in an instant, unable to catch up.
The entire barbarian camp was completely shocked by the successive changes, and all the barbarians rushed out of the camp and became a mess.
Some are shouting to catch assassins, some are counting the murdered compatriots in each tent, some are trying to put out the fire in the granary, and some are trying to chase the out-of-control horse herd...
After a full hour, the chaotic barbarian camp finally calmed down.
The assassin was confirmed to have successfully escaped, and the number of barbarians killed in his sleep was counted. The fire in the camp had been extinguished, and the barbarians who went to try to recover the horses also returned to the camp dejectedly...
The barbarians only knew that the assassin was probably a Bactrian. Only two Bactrians killed several times in the barbarian camp. They had so many barbarians, but they didn't even catch the shadow of the assassin.
Without the guards noticing, nearly 150 barbarians were killed, and more than half of them were small barbarian leaders. In addition, there were also big barbarian leaders, barbarian elites, and ordinary barbarians.
Two and a half of the three granaries in the camp were burned down, and only half of the granary that had not been sprayed with sesame oil was rescued. Fortunately, when they built the camp, it was not far from the nearby Jinjiang River, and they used the water from the Jinjiang River to extinguish the flames in time. Otherwise, the fire would have burned down half of the camp.
As for the more than 200 war horses, only a dozen or so were recovered, and three of them were injured, and the rest all ran away with the Bactrians who attacked the camp!
The barbarians really couldn't figure it out, did those two Daxia people die? In such a dark night, the horse can run so fast. At first, the barbarians who followed them were able to chase the horses according to the sound, but soon the horses ran too fast and too far, and the sound could not be heard.
So, the precious warhorses were actually given away like this...
After all the losses were counted, and hearing the bad news one after another, the face of the little barbarian leader leading the troops was pitch black, blacker than the night.
Looking around at the subordinates who lowered their heads and dodged, the angry little barbarian leader ordered the little barbarian commander who was in charge of patrolling tonight to lead all his men to be punished, and then arranged twice the force of the usual night watch, that is, two little barbarian commanders The team is responsible for patrolling in the second half of the night and dealing with follow-up matters.
With a cold snort, the little barbarian leader shook his hands and went back to his tent to rest.
The anger in his heart turned into a firm determination. Tomorrow, he must march at full speed, reach Bianlu City as soon as possible, and continue to rush to the hinterland of Daxia!
But at this time, Cheng Huaiqian galloped in front of the horse, and Xia Ruize led the horse to follow at the rear of the horse herd. The two of them, one in front of the other, surrounded a large number of horses, and galloped across the desert in the dark.
Thinking about it, now that the barbarians have raised their vigilance, it is not suitable for them to attack again. It is better to let the barbarians relax first and let go of their vigilance.
On the other side, the two teams of cavalry that Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize had ruthlessly abandoned had already set up camp to rest, and each of the two teams left a cavalry to keep watch at night.
Two cavalrymen guarding the fire, discussing casually in low voices, suddenly felt vibrations from the ground in the distance.
The two were shocked, and immediately woke up the other comrades, extinguished the fire, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the shock in the dark. What happened in the distance so late? Why does it look like a large cavalry is approaching
