This time, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize's main assassination target was still the small barbarian leader, but they no longer "run through" the entire barbarian camp, but started from the edge of the camp and circled around in a small area, "clearing out" the entire area , before proceeding to expand the "clean" area.
Compared with the previous sneak attack, the actions of the two people this time were much more "delicate". Specifically, the speed of action slowed down, and the movement during the assassination was as small as possible. Wrap up the wound to prevent blood from flowing out and expanding the bloodstain.
During the last night attack and escape, Cheng Huaiqian took advantage of the chaos to pay attention to the location that first exposed the barbarians' alert. It seemed that the blood stains spread beyond the range of the tent, and the barbarians who passed by at night noticed the abnormality.
Last time, the two were novices and lacked experience in assassination, which left a flaw. This time it was different, the two of them learned from the experience of failure, and touched one tent after another in a leisurely manner.
Of course, another important reason for the slowdown in the speed of action was that the barbarian camp had strengthened the patrol guards, and the two needed to spend more time waiting for the patrol team to be vacant before they could move between tents.
The barbarians slept soundly, whether it was because they stayed up late and didn't get a good rest or because they drank milk tea with added ingredients, in short, the barbarians slept soundly and cooperated with Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize's actions very well.
White maws appeared in the sky, and the sky gradually brightened.
While hiding at the door of a tent to observe the patrol team, Cheng Huaiqian looked at the morning light in the sky, pondered for a moment, and decided to withdraw.
They are just to complete the additional questions, there is no need to lose their lives because of greed.
So Cheng Huaiqian gestured to Xia Ruize, and the two of them saw the timing, moved tent by tent to the edge of the barbarian camp, and quickly ran away under the last shroud of darkness.
As soon as he got away from the barbarian camp, Cheng Huaiqian immediately released the amber horse. When he reached out to invite Xia Ruize, Xia Ruize shook his head with a smile, turned his hand and took out an amber that sealed the war horse, and released his amber horse.
In the previous assassination operations, they cleared them by area. Two of the camps belonged to the barbarian small commander level. The two worked together. One of the small commanders revealed the amber war horse. Now he also has a heart Similar war horses.
While Cheng Huaiqian was happy for his teammates, at the same time, he felt two points of regret inexplicably. But it felt small and quick, and he didn't particularly care.
The two rode on their horses and headed back the way they came.
Cheng Huaiqian accepted the traps set by his cavalry along the way. In order to make it easier to do physical work, the cavalry took off their heavy armor and worked hard for several hours under the light of a few small torches.
At this time, the officer wanted to check and accept the results, and all the cavalrymen were very nervous. In the first half of the night, they did not cooperate with the officer's actions, but in the second half of the night they worked very hard just to satisfy the officer.
With the skill of trap technique, Cheng Huaiqian is like an experienced old hunter, who can arrange various traps. On the basis of his subordinates' preparatory work, he adds some key points, and the traps are arranged one by one.
After checking and accepting all the traps, Cheng Huaiqian gave his subordinates time to rest.
However, this resting place is too scary.
To the astonishment of the cavalry, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize took them to rest on a small hill closest to the barbarian camp. At this time, the sky was already dark, and standing on the hillside, you could easily see the situation of the barbarian camp below.
Of course, the barbarians could see the situation on the hill when they looked up, that is to say, a group of them blocked the entrance of the camp to monitor.
A group of battle-tested cavalry followed behind the two officers. Looking at the barbarian camp not far below, they felt their guts trembling and their calves still a little soft. Completely submerge their small gravel in twos and threes in the barbarian sea.
Cheng Huaiqian was different. He was looking forward to the reaction of the barbarians when they discovered them. To be honest, there are at most ten or so horses left in the barbarian camp. If these horses dare to come, don't think about leaving.
As for the barbarians who have no horses and can only run on two legs
If they could outrun the Great Xia cavalry on horses, the horses would not be so precious.
Finding a good monitoring position on the hill, Cheng Huaiqian ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest on the spot. He and Xia Ruize sat side by side on the hillside near the barbarian camp, eating and drinking, pointing and discussing at the barbarian camp with.
The cavalrymen looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to question the commander's order easily, so they took out their dry rations and gnawed them up, but judging from their body movements, they were all ready to get on their horses and run away at any time.
The sky is getting brighter, and the barbarian camp is active. Some barbarians woke up yawning after a night of tossing, and suddenly their expressions froze. They sniffed and found something wrong. Didn't the camp have been cleaned up? Yet? Why is there such a strong smell of blood
Just as he was wondering, there was already a commotion outside the camp. It turned out that the barbarians who got up early found a large dead camp again? !
This time, the faces of the barbarian leaders could no longer be described as pitch black.
The same question arose in the minds of all the barbarians, how dare the damn Daxia people come? It turned out to be successful again? This time they didn't even see the shadow of the assassin? ?
While the barbarians were angry, they couldn't help but feel a little chill in their hearts. What kind of means did the Daxia people have? Why were they able to enter the barbarian camp quietly and kill so many barbarians without making any noise
Just when the little barbarian leader scolded the two little commanders who were in charge of patrolling in the middle of the night and ordered heavy punishment, some barbarians noticed the abnormality on the hill not far away, and couldn't help shouting out in surprise.
Immediately, the eyes of more than 1,200 barbarians in the entire barbarian camp were shot at Xiao Shanbao.
While eating dry food, the cavalry who were watching the barbarian camp below were stared at by so many barbarian hatred. They trembled as if they had been stabbed, and the dry food in their hands almost fell.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize who were sitting in the front were different. Xia Ruize kept a low profile and continued to nibble on his steamed stuffed bun with a blank expression.
Cheng Huaiqian's heart was darkened. Not only was he not afraid, but he also waved his arms in cooperation to greet the barbarians below, and even raised the water in his hand, making a gesture of toasting and drinking. The hatred value was really high. Steady.
"boom!"
The entire barbarian camp almost exploded. They felt that the provocative barbarians were furious. They had never been so insulted by the Daxia people in their life. They only felt the blood rushing to their brains. Some barbarians even raised their weapons and roared regardless. He rushed in the direction of the hill.
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Cheng Huaiqian was so happy that he couldn't drink any more water.
The cavalry behind them looked at their commander in horror. Hundreds of times the enemy was about to rush over. What else do you want to do if you don't want to run away? The officer is not crazy, is he? !
Xia Ruize looked at the barbarians rushing towards the hillside, and then at his teammates who were laughing wildly. He deeply wondered if his teammates were often cursed in circles before, and at the same time, a surge of pride suddenly surged in his heart. The enemy was tall and strong. How about the barbarians? What about the quantity? What about the disparity in power? Isn't it just being played around by them and can only keep being deflated
Feeling the joy of fighting, Xia Ruize couldn't help but smile.
"Archery."
Cheng Huaiqian's emotions were at ease, and when he had had enough fun, he immediately calmed down and decisively gave orders to the cavalry behind him.
The barbarian cavalry has superior physical fitness and pays more attention to melee combat. The Great Xia cavalry uses their strengths to avoid weaknesses and pays more attention to long-distance combat. They have good archery skills.
Before leaving Bianlu City, Cheng Huaiqian specially ordered the cavalry to bring arrows several times larger than the usual combat reserve, which will come in handy at this time.
Of course, Xia Ruize is better at archery.
His bow is the high-ranking white Rising Sun Bow, and his archery is learned from the top-ranking white archery technique "Scared Bow".
The result of these advantages combined is that, obviously, he has never drawn a bow and shot an arrow before, but when Xia Ruize took out his Rising Sun Bow, bent the bow and set the arrow, except for the first two arrows which obviously intended to shoot the heart but only hit the chest and abdomen, after that Arrows shoot where they want to shoot.
The accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the power attached to the arrow is also increasing. After proficiency, the arrow will even shoot through the previous barbarian and then pierce the next barbarian.
Every time an arrow is shot, some barbarians will fall.
After shooting more than ten arrows, Xia Ruize began to try to play tricks, such as putting three arrows on the bow at the same time. After a few times of practice, he began to shoot three arrows at a time, killing at least three barbarians with one bow.
Another example is aiming at an object and shooting three arrows in a row. The three arrows shot in succession not only superimpose powerful power, but also seal the path of avoidance. Even if the little commander wants to hide, it is difficult to dodge. .
Xia Ruize took the lead at the front, and the 18 cavalrymen in the rear also kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows. Therefore, when the barbarians tried to rush up the hillside to approach them, some barbarians fell to the ground constantly.
After more than ten minutes, the barbarians were less than fifty meters away from the Daxia cavalry on the top of the hill. Cheng Huaiqian finally gave the order to the cavalry:
"Get on your horses, retreat according to the plan, be smart, and play by ear."
When the matter came to an end, the cavalry really didn't want to leave the two officers and run away first. Even if they died, they deserved to die together, so they stood still and hesitated.
Cheng Huaiqian, who had been standing with his arms crossed all the time, turned his head to look at his subordinates, with a half-smile expression on his face, and teased, "Hurry up and leave, you'll be a drag on us if you stay."
Thinking of the strong strength of the two officers, the cavalry had no choice but to obey Cheng Huaiqian's order and mount their horses quickly, and galloped into the distance.
Strangely, after the cavalry retreated to a safe distance on the back of the hill, their speed slowed down. Next, the short commander withdrew five cavalrymen to the south, while the tall commander withdrew the remaining eleven cavalry. The cavalry circled north.
Two groups of cavalry galloped to a place far away from the battlefield and hid. They could see the situation on the battlefield without attracting the attention of the barbarians.
Their way of evacuating was very strange, but it was a pity that Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize had stabilized the hatred of the barbarians. Coupled with the obstructed view, not many barbarians noticed the movements of the Great Xia cavalry.
