Chapter 299 Attack Outside the City

Mr. Six Hundred, together with Mr. Tang and the postman, walked until the sun set to the west before arriving under the Great Wall. According to the scheduled schedule, the gentlemen set up camp to rest five miles outside the city and resume their journey tomorrow. Since the Great Wall is right next to it,

Border troops, security is guaranteed.

Mr. Zhongyue took advantage of the fact that it was still bright and sent people into the city to ask for clean water from Lieutenant Putian. Lieutenant Putian sent an ox cart to pull several jars of clean water and delivered it to the camp. He said that the carts and jars would be placed in the camp and that when he entered the city the next day,

Return it again.

The horses had long been unyoked and led out for a walk by their drivers. The cattle were gathered in another area by the driver and allowed to graze quietly.

Those on the right side of the car all hold long halberds and are assigned to various points to stand guard or patrol in shifts. Since they are all plains, with a wide view, and at the foot of the Great Wall, the main purpose of standing guard and patrol is to prevent thieves. On the left side of the car, a hundred or so people will ride in leather chariots.

They built a fence with their carriages and enclosed more than 600 people inside.

Three hundred foot soldiers gathered firewood together and lit twelve bonfires in the camp to keep warm. When the horse walkers and cattle herders came back, everyone sat by the bonfire and ate a meal of grain. The cattle and horses were tied outside.

.

Xiao Nu, Gai Nie and Liang Xiyi's postmen were arranged in the middle, together with Mr. Zhong Yue and others. The Tang coachman was with the drivers.

As the night gets deeper and deeper, the diners slowly fall asleep, and only a few drivers and coachmen look after the horses and oxen.

The postmen and the diners were not familiar with each other, so they formed a small group, sleeping close to each other back to back. Zheng Anping couldn't sleep, but he was crowded by everyone, so he didn't dare to move for fear of waking others, so he closed his eyes. Suddenly

, he vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves. He quietly pushed Masan beside him and said, "Listen, is there any sound?"

Ma San was sleeping heavily and was a little impatient. Zheng Anping was not sure and did not dare to move rashly. He quietly pushed the postman on the other side and said, "Listen, is there any sound?"

This postman was relatively alert and woke up as soon as he pushed it. He listened carefully and said, "It seems to be there."

Zheng Anping felt confident and no longer had any worries. He rolled over and crawled to the ground, listening. The postmen who were leaning on each other suddenly woke up and were about to call out when they saw Zheng Anping acting like this. They didn't dare to say anything and crawled on the ground.

It sounded like. In just a moment, all five people had a look of surprise on their faces, and they all said in unison: "There are police!"

Mr. Zhongyue was sleeping next to him. When there was any movement here, he was already half awake. When he heard the word "alert", the other half woke up too. When he opened his eyes, he saw five postmen crawling on the ground, bending their ears.

Listening, I was so shocked that I woke up completely. I quickly asked: "What did you hear?"

Among the five, only Zheng Anping was not afraid to talk to the nobles. He replied: "The sound of horses, as few as ten riders!"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Where?"

Zheng Anping climbed to the ground and listened again, saying: "The sound is getting closer!"

The conversation here was not as loud as the room, and the people around him gradually woke up. Mr. Cao said: "Let me watch from the front." He held a halberd to the side of the fire, called a few people, and went to the front to check. Mr. Jin

, Mr. Guo also got up. Mr. Guo asked everyone not to move lightly, sit by the fire for a while, pay attention to whether there are any strangers around, and be careful of outsiders getting in. Mr. Jin walked around and asked all the people on the left to take their bows and arrows from the car, and then sat down.

Behind the car, he controlled the string and nocked an arrow, preparing to shoot. At the same time, he asked the postman to go outside the camp, continue to crawl on the ground, and listen to the movements of the horses.

After a while, the sentry in front sounded a whistle, and sure enough, there was an enemy attack. Mr. Jin ordered all the halberd holders to retreat outside the car and form a team. The driver and the driver came out of the camp and controlled their horses and oxen. Do not panic and disperse. The horses and oxen had already been placed

Between the camp and the Great Wall, if there is no accident, the battle will generally not spread here. Oxen are better, one per person, and easier to control; horses are different, one driver has to manage four horses. Once startled, it will be very difficult.

It was difficult to control, so everyone was a little nervous. Mr. Cao and the sentries also came back and joined the ranks on the right side of the car.

Three hundred infantrymen were ordered by Mr. Jin to sit in the camp. Only when the thieves reached the edge of the camp could they go out to fight according to the order. These infantrymen were unarmored and had short brown bodies, and they also carried wooden sticks.

The people sitting by the fire in the center were all chariot soldiers. After all the chariot soldiers were transferred, only Xiao Nu and Gai Nie were left sitting alone by the fire in the center. Even Mr. Zhongyue and Mr. Guo were sitting there.

Behind the chariot, he straightened his bow and arrows and prepared for battle.

At Mr. Zhongyue's suggestion, Mr. Jin discovered this obvious loophole. He asked the postmen who had been listening outside the camp to come back and ordered them to sit next to Xiaonu. From now on, their task is to protect this little slave.

The mother and son don't have to worry about anything else. The five of them are all soldiers. Although they have not experienced war, they can still do the basic operations. They each arranged their crossbows and put their halberds on their knees. Only Zheng Anping was worse, his

The halberd was disabled by Lord Xinling, and he has never used it. He broke off several branches or bamboo poles in the camp, but they were not easy to use. Fortunately, there was no fighting along the way, otherwise Zheng Anping would die if he entered a close combat! Now, he

Next to his knees was a newly broken branch that was slightly thicker and straighter. One end was burnt black by the fire and sharpened.

Gai Nie looked excited, as if he couldn't wait to see a good show. Xiao Nu was very calm, sitting on his knees by the fire, lowering his eyebrows and looking down.

The sound of horse hooves could now be heard by almost everyone, and through the moonlight, one could see a horse riding towards them at full speed. The bonfire in the camp was not extinguished, and the light could shine fifty paces away. Mr. Jin jumped onto the flag and drum carriage.

, a bell was struck, and the crisp sound of the bell spread far away. All the left chariots in the camp loaded arrows and raised their bows above their heads. The right chariots who had formed a team behind the camp divided into two formations and went around the camp fence.

's two wings.

Mr. Jin saw the cavalry rushing into the area illuminated by the fire. The knights were no longer clad in silver, and the fire was already shining red in front of them. Mr. Jin decisively beat the drum, and the cavalrymen drew their bows and fired the first shot.

An arrow. Almost at the same time, the knights suddenly turned their horses and galloped to both sides. When the arrow fell, they were already out of the range of the arrow rain.

Mr. Jin did not expect such a result, so he rang the bell again, and the riders on the chariots again controlled the strings and loaded arrows. However, the knights galloped out of the shooting range and no longer rushed forward, but continued to gallop to both sides, seemingly

He had to go around to the rear of the camp. There were horses and cattle in the rear, and there was no room for loss. Mr. Jin had to use drums to order the right cars scattered on the two wings to come forward and attack the knights. Just when the two sides were about to confront each other, the knights suddenly changed direction and started from

The two sides rushed straight towards the camp. Mr. Jin quickly turned the car to the left to the two wings, preparing to block the attacking cavalry on both wings. A dozen people appeared like ghosts in the firelight in front, all dressed in black, and quickly crossed the fifty paces distance.

, came outside the car formation, quickly set up an arrow and loaded the crossbow, and shot at the group of people in the middle of the fire.

Zheng Anping was the first to notice this group of people. He stood up and shouted: "There's someone on the front!" and took a few steps out. Seeing this, the other postmen also stood up with their weapons in hand. Mr. Jin also discovered this after hearing the sound.

A group of people quickly beat the drums to warn the short browns in the camp to go out to fight. However, the vehicles blocked their most direct attack path. They had to go around to the back of the camp or push the vehicles to get out.

The chariots and passengers also blocked the arrow path. Five warriors rushed to the chariot and prepared to shoot. Those people had already shot the first batch of arrows first. All five postmen were shot and fell down as if they had been hit hard. However,

Because they were wearing triple leather armor, they were only hit hard by the huge momentum, and the tip of the arrow did not penetrate deeply into the flesh. Ma San was the first to get up, pulled out the arrow that had been shot into the leather armor, and went up to meet the crossbow arrow like crazy.

, bent down and arched hard, overturning a car. The man in black behind the car was crushed to the ground before he could react. Masan shouted and climbed onto the car to rush out, and dozens of crossbow arrows were fired at the same time.

Aiming at him, he triggered the crossbow and knocked him off the car.

The other postmen who had already gotten up from the ground and pulled out their arrows went crazy when they saw Masan was killed. They picked up the guy and rushed forward. The killers hit Masan with all the arrows they had just strung. When Zheng Anping and the others came up,

It was too late to draw an arrow; at this time, the diners who came out of the back door were already approaching. The group of men in black violently lifted the overturned car, slightly blocking the charging pace of the soldiers.

, while rescuing their trapped companions, the four of them each raised a limb and quickly retreated into the darkness.

The knights quickly went over to join them, and the two of them rode away at full speed. The short-brown doorman chased for a while, but after all, his legs could not keep up with his horse power, and the distance became wider and wider, so he had to give up and return.

The four postmen no longer cared about chasing the assassin, they opened the car together and rescued Masan. More than ten arrows, most of which were shot on the leather armor, a few of them hit the arm, and one arrow was deeply embedded in the thigh.

The main artery was shot at the root, and blood spurted out like a spring along the arrow shaft. The left wingmen who were transferred to the two wings were pale because they had been deceived by the enemy. Mr. Zhong Yue was also among them.

Naturally, they all saw Masan's performance. Mr. Zhongyue left the queue and came to rescue him. He asked the postman to drag Masan to the fire so that he could clearly observe the injury. All the tasks of setting up defenses were handed over to him.

Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao.

The arrow on his arm had penetrated deep into the bone and could not be pulled out at all. He used a dagger to cut open the leather armor. Although the arrow on the armor did not penetrate deeply into the flesh, it was too large and pierced the entire chest. The impact was huge.

His chest collapsed, making it difficult for Masan to breathe. The most deadly arrow shot at the base of his thigh caused a surge of blood, and even if the four postmen pressed hard, they couldn't stop it.

Faced with such a serious injury, Mr. Zhongyue was helpless, not even able to relieve his pain. He ordered his disciples to get all his hemostatic medicine and apply it on the wound, although he knew it was useless and was a waste.

But I did it anyway, hoping it would be possible!

Masan's face became paler and paler, and his pulse became faster and faster. Suddenly, Masan woke up and saw Mr. Zhongyue and four postmen. He smiled and said: "Brothers are all here, sir is also here... Rujun

If the superior is there, then it will be the best!"

Everyone couldn't help sobbing. Mr. Zhongyue said: "Ma family's bravery, I will personally report it to you, and you will be rewarded by me!"
