Steel Dynasty - Chapter 253

[Chapter 253 Surprise Attack]

The stars in the sky are getting brighter and brighter.

In the first half of the night, except for the soldiers who kept watch, most of the soldiers fell into a deep sleep. The barbarian bonfires were still lit, and from time to time, a few barbarian soldiers could be seen lazily sitting by the bonfires and dozing off.

For them, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom to go deep into the grasslands alone, so the soldiers in the tribe who keep watch at night are often negligent. Their watch is more to prevent wolves from attacking livestock.

At midnight, Lu Fei was woken up by thunder. Lu Fei rubbed his eyes, looked at the bright light not far away and said, “Wake up the brothers, guys are ready.”

“Yes.” Lei Ming immediately slapped the man next to him. The other soldiers woke up and slapped the surrounding soldiers one by one. Soon a thousand soldiers gathered.

They were wearing plate armor, and their swords were unsheathed.

“Go!” Lu Fei ordered, and a thousand people hid their bodies in the tall weeds and approached the barbarian tribe. The one-meter-high grass completely obscured their bodies.

Lu Fei knew that a large-scale cavalry charge would definitely wake up the barbarians at this time. Although it would catch the barbarians off guard, most of the barbarians would definitely take the opportunity to escape.

And by touching it in this way, you can take advantage of the plate armor, so that you can annihilate the tribe as much as possible and avoid exposing your traces.

“You take two hundred people over there, you two hundred people go over there.” Lu Fei ordered while lying in the grass.

A thousand people quickly surrounded the barbarian pack. At this time, the barbarian soldiers who were keeping watch at night were fast asleep and still didn’t notice.

At this time, Lu Fei signaled Lei Ming, who nodded, and tiptoed towards the barbarian soldiers beside the bonfire with ten soldiers.

Looking at the barbarian soldiers who were still sleeping soundly, a sneer appeared at the corner of Lei Ming’s mouth. They all drew out their daggers and quickly approached the barbarian soldiers. When they got close, Lei Ming covered the barbarian soldiers’ mouths and severely cut the barbarian soldiers’ throats.

“Uh-huh…”

The barbarian soldier suddenly opened his eyes in horror, but his throat was cut and his mouth was covered, so he could only make an unclear sound. At this time, other soldiers also killed all the barbarian soldiers who were watching at night. .

The barbarian soldier’s pupils gradually became dilated, and then Lei Ming waved in Lu Fei’s direction.

“Go!” Lu Fei gave the order at this time. At the same time, the soldiers who saw the thunderous sign language in front of the campfire also took action and touched the tent-like manbao.

At this time, the soldiers of Guan Ning’s cavalry pursed their lips tightly. They shuttled among the barbarian packs, each one assigning the barbarian packs to be hunted by themselves.

Everything was ready, and almost at the same time, the soldiers rushed into the barbarian pack, and screams suddenly rang through the dark night sky.

At this time, Lu Fei also rushed into a barbarian bag, which was closest to the bonfire. In the light of the fire, he saw a young barbarian woman lying inside.

At this time, the barbarian woman had been awakened. She looked at Lu Fei in horror and shook her head, looking pitiful.

“How can I start with this!” Lu Fei’s hand holding the sword stopped in mid-air, but Xiao Ming’s words made him hesitate again.

At this moment, while Lu Fei was distracted, the barbarian woman suddenly picked up a scimitar from the pillow, rolled it on the ground and stabbed Lu Fei’s lower body.

Lu Fei was suddenly alert, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body, but it was too late to dodge. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed over from behind him and kicked the barbarian woman’s hand.

The scimitar scratched the plate armor of Lu Fei’s thigh, the metal hit each other, and a spark was particularly dazzling.

Lu Fei no longer hesitated at this time, and the sharp arrow suddenly pierced the barbarian woman’s chest.

“Captain, do you want me to leave you a prettier one?” Lei Ming said with a playful smile.

“Go away, leave no one behind, kill them all!” Lu Fei’s face turned pale, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

He finally understood Xiao Ming’s words. Either you or I will die in the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians. A woman’s kindness will only kill herself. He gritted his teeth and his eyes became firm.

The barbarian tribe obviously did not expect that the army of Dayu would attack in the middle of the night. Many barbarians in the tents died in their sleep. Half an hour later, the soldiers of the Guan Ning Cavalry inspected the tents one by one with torches to confirm that all the barbarians were Once dead, gather in front of the campfire.

“Captain, we have made a fortune. There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in this tribe’s fence, and there are thousands of horses. How about sending all these things back to Cangzhou?” Lei Ming said at this time.

When they entered the grassland this time, what they did was to burn, kill and loot. This tribe was unlucky and was discovered by them on the first night. He said: “Kill all the cattle and sheep, eat those that can be eaten, burn those that cannot be eaten, and the horses Send a few people back.”

Lei Ming nodded. The horses are easy to drive back quickly, but the cattle and sheep are not easy to drive back. We can’t waste time on the cattle and sheep this time.

The only choice between the two is the horse.

After the order was passed on, the soldiers immediately rushed into the fence with knives to kill cattle and sheep, and then started to barbecue in front of the bonfire.

Early the next morning, the soldiers had enough to eat and drink and continued on their way, while three soldiers with experience in driving horses drove the horses back along the safe road they came from.

“Burn!”

Lu Fei gave the order before leaving, and the soldiers threw torches into the barbarian bags. Some soldiers also threw dead cattle and sheep into the barbarians’ bags. This left no food for the barbarians to survive the winter.

Sen smiled coldly, and Lu Fei led the soldiers deeper into the grassland.

At the same time, after two days of trekking on the grassland, Niu Benzhi also encountered a barbarian tribe. However, when he saw thousands of barbarian soldiers gathering, he chose to hide and wait.

Because he guessed that these barbarian soldiers were preparing to go to Cangzhou and counting the days, the news of Cangzhou’s city construction should reach here.

Just as he thought, this tribe had just received an order from Chagatai, the leader of the Blood Wolf Tribe, asking him to send cavalry to Cangzhou City to harass.

The bull run requires all the soldiers to lay their horses down on the ground. This is one of the skills they usually train. At this time, all the horses are lying on the grass while the soldiers hold the horses’ necks.

Using binoculars, he watched the assembled barbarian soldiers leave. An hour later, Niu Ben said: “Get on the horse!”

The soldiers immediately got up with the horses, turned over and unsheathed the sabers in their hands.

At this time, there were only some old, weak, women and children left in the tribe and a small number of barbarians. A thousand cavalry were more than enough to deal with them.

“Attack!” Niu Ben roared, taking the lead to charge towards the unsuspecting Barbarian. The rumble of horse hooves was heard, and the Barbarian looked at the cavalry in silver armor.

At this moment, an unprecedented fear spread in their hearts, and the people of Dayu came to kill them.

“Kill!” The soldiers roared in unison, releasing the fury in their hearts. If you kill the enemy of my compatriots, you will eventually pay for it with blood.
