Chapter 282 The Strange Enemy (Part 2)
Cons looked at the corpses on the ground and looked at the battlefield. The situation was a bit chaotic. Thousands of enemy troops in civilian costumes appeared in the camp in groups from east to west.
Although these enemy troops were only half of that of Cons' troops, they were scattered and had good combat capabilities, which made Cons' troops unable to fight on their own and did not form formations or queues.
The inner guard troops are not bad, they are very good at cavalry and infantry fighting, especially in close combat, so the enemy is slowly being wiped out in the scope of responsibility of the inner guard troops.
The cavalry battalion is more unlucky. Because of their status, seven hours are all trained to fight immediately, and only three hours are used to train infantry battles. Moreover, their main training is to charge and assault with horsepower. Now, ground melee is the least good at this kind of ground melee.
So the enemy's attack made them a little busy.
Cons cut off an enemy's head again, turned his head and asked the people around him, "What's going on?"
Why are these peasants and soldiers so fierce and fearless?"
The person who heard the question was an ordinary inner guard. At this moment, he spent a lot of effort to destroy his opponent and was breathing.
So he didn't look at who it was. He said directly: "I don't know, these guys are really too difficult. They are all from ordinary farmers, but their strength is enough to compare with those of us trained inner guards.
"And these untouchables are really tough, and it doesn't matter if they break their hands and feet. They can only cut off their heads to let them stop completely."
Cons browned: "Oh, then where did these guys come out?"
"Hey, I know that they are hidden in the underground hole. If we hadn't discovered them by digging a toilet pit and letting them start early, it would be very dangerous.
"Think about it, if we only appear after we fall asleep, then things will be very serious. Maybe they can attack their lord."
When the inner guard said this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Cons. This made him immediately shocked and opened his mouth wide, and his body softened and he was about to kneel down.
However, after being trained by Xiangwen, they immediately woke up when they saw that Cons was wearing soldier clothes. He just whispered and continued to rush as if nothing had happened. However, seeing that he was only fighting around Cons, he knew that he was still worried about Cons' safety.
Under the escort of everyone without any trace, Cons rushed to a place.
This place is a bit weird. Hundreds of round pits half a person deep and one person's size were dug. There were pieces of stone slabs covered with soil around the pit. It can be concluded that these attackers were hiding under these round pits.
However, it is a bit strange that when using stone slabs, people will not find that the bottom is empty when the people pass by, but in this way, the people hiding below have no air to breathe, and even the secret guards cannot hide for long.
If they weren't discovered while digging a toilet pit, they might have to hide all day, so how could they make sure they won't die of suffocation?
And the strangest thing is that the only thing that was discovered was a small area, but all the lurkers launched at the same time. Can they also receive unified commands when hiding in the pit?
Cons looked at the attackers who were cut off on the ground and almost shining blood, but were still full of energy and screaming and rolling all over the ground, eager to attack with his teeth. If these attackers were not as fragile as ordinary people, if the blood was not still red, Cons might have classified these attackers into the kind of demons.
Because these attackers are not much stronger than ordinary people's physical fitness, and they choose to launch an attack during the day. Although they are not afraid of death, although the Lei family army is a little busy by them, it only takes a long time.
By the evening, all of these attackers were wiped out.
It’s not that he didn’t plan to capture prisoners, Xiang Wen had personally arrested a few, but the arrested people would just scream, struggle desperately, or want to use their teeth to attack, and there was no other reaction to the punishment, scolding and inquiring. There was no other way, so he had to order not to capture prisoners.
So in the end, the attackers left nearly 5,000 corpses, and except for the three living people captured by Xiang Wen, all the others were extinct.
The local civil and military officials who had just been running over after receiving the news were caught by the fierce inner guards as soon as they entered the camp.
Seeing the campsite full of round pits and thousands of corpses, the local officials certainly knew that things were going on.
As long as they are not idiots, they can understand that they chose to arrange this camp, and they also knew when the army arrived. Now thousands of enemy troops were ambushed in the camp early. If they only jumped out to attack at night, it would be possible that the camping army would be wiped out.
So this is either a traitor from the Lei family or a leak of news. However, local officials, such as the local officials, would be suspected of being the last one of these two crimes, so they did not dare to resist at all, and just shouted unjustly to ask for an audience with Cons.
Xiang Wen did not agree to their request, and of course, he did not imprison them, nor did he torture them. Instead, he asked them to report everyone around them who knew the camp and the arrival time of Cons.
The officials naturally tried their best to cooperate to prove their innocence.
So in a short while, Xiangwen led a group of inner guards into the city and began to arrest him. For Xiangwen, those who dared to murder their own adults would make them worse than death. As for whether there were fireflies in it, it would cause panic among the people, which was not the scope he had to consider.
Weijie didn't know if he was reminded or scolded, but he gritted his teeth and personally led the intelligence department staff to search for information all over the world.
As for the other inner guards and cavalry, they will continue to rest with peace of mind. They are their main combat power tomorrow and they will never be able to participate in these troubles.
Of course, the security forces in the camp have been enhanced several times more than those stipulated by the regulations.
The night was safe. The next day, Xiangwen and Weijie came back with red eyes and reported the news, but the result did not surprise Cons. Neither of them gained anything that night.
This is not to say that there is no internal, because if the enemy does not have intelligence, it is absolutely impossible to set up an ambush so accurately. Although the internal cannot be found, everyone understands this principle.
But generally speaking, the person who is either the most suspicious or the least suspicious.
But there are too many of these two types of people, and now it is a war time, so there is no time or energy to find out. So I have to detain it temporarily and wait for the war to deal with it.
After receiving the order from Cons, Xiangwen had no choice but to stay here to deal with the problem unless he did not participate in the war, but how could he be willing to leave Cons? So he had to agree. And Cons and Xiangwen both had such opinions, what else could Weijie have?
After the army assembled, with an order, it began to pounce on Long Cham City.
Inside combat, guides, supplies, and rest are not problems, but there are also troubles, that is, it causes huge damage to the territory.
Just look at the ruins and wilderness along the way, you can tell that it is still a trivial matter to rebuild the cities destroyed by the enemy after the war, while the farmland that was burned in the wilderness is a big matter.
These enemy troops not only launched attacks during the busy farming period, but also did the destruction of farmland that no one has done since ancient times.
But it is a bit strange. Although the tenant farmers don’t care who they are loyal to, they will fight for the lives of those who dare to destroy the farmland.
But there was no corpse around these wildernesses that were originally farmland. Could it be that the tenant farmers were so cowardly that they watched the farmland being destroyed and hid in the dark that they could not come out?
These questions just flashed through Cons's mind, and he didn't care too much about such weirdness.
In fact, we can't blame Cons for taking it lightly. Who made other places use all kinds of attacks except Feibi Peninsula? Destroying the enemy's farmland is a basic trick. So Cons just thought that these joint forces had begun to learn from the outside world by any means, and did not expect anything else.
The scouts from front, back, left and right were all spread out. Under the surveillance of these elites, it was impossible for the enemy to attack suddenly, so the main force just needed to move forward. As time went by, the scouts from the front came to report: "Discover the enemy camp!"
Everyone knows that a cruel battle is about to break out.
With the order, the entire army dismounted and rested, and was about to enter the battlefield. It was a little bit possible to recover. However, they had already had a rest, and the march during this period was a normal march, and did not consume much horsepower. The rest now was just to restore the best condition.
The soldiers could rest, but the chief officer was not that comfortable. Cons, with Lao Dao and his dozen battalions, officials and a vote of inner guards, began to run forward to investigate the enemy's situation under the guidance of the scout.
When they climbed over a small hill and Long Cham entered their eyes, everyone, including Cons, was stunned.
The tragic siege scene did not appear, nor did the siege phenomenon existed. Tens of thousands of well-equipped enemy troops were already lined up at the foot of the mountain.
If it weren't for the corpses piled up under Long Zhan City, and the dilapidated city walls of Long Zhan City, and the Lei family flag that was still fluttering in the wind, anyone would have thought that the enemy would have captured the city long ago, and the enemy troops who had been resting were gathering to attack the next target.
"Inside! Our army has inner ones!"
Xiangwen suddenly roared in anger, and everyone's lotus was cold.
Yes, there is definitely an internal existence in the army, otherwise the opponent would not have happened to have his own reinforcements arrived and before they even entered the battlefield, the enemy stopped siege and had a clear goal towards the direction where his reinforcements were staying.
The scout hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "I am not a traitor. When I came to reconnaissance, I did find that the enemy was sieging the city! Please observe clearly!"
Cons waved his hand: "Get up, it's not your business, it's really a surprise to the enemy."
Although Cons made the release, everyone still had some doubts about the scout. How long has it been since it took to detect the information to reward, and then to the people who came to investigate?
The enemy not only canceled the battle, but also retreated and formed a battle formation and walked towards this side?
But think about it, if the other party had information, I guess the scout was playing a show for him when he appeared.
And most importantly, it is not that simple to find enemy traces in this era. If you find that the enemy is in A, if you do not continue to track and monitor, maybe when you arrive, the enemy will have already gone to B or C.
Therefore, the scout war is the cruelest and most important vanguard war.
But now the scout has not contacted the enemy scout, and the enemy has clearly known your location and reacted immediately. Doesn’t this mean that the other party has firmly grasped its whereabouts? You should know that there are seven or eight roads to Champa City. It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen without inside.
"This matter will be discussed later. How to fight now. Let's go back." Cons turned his horse's head and led the people back and ran wildly.
Everyone knew that they couldn't care about anything inside and not inside now. The enemy has appeared in front of them, so it is the most important thing to go back and lead the team to fight.
Seeing Cons and others running back quickly, the soldiers who were resting knew that something was wrong, so they got up to sort out their equipment without ordering the boss.
"Let's go up the mountain, then break through them and go straight to Longzhan City!" Cons waved his hand and ordered.
The officers who followed the enemy to investigate the order nodded in agreement. The other party was all infantry, and the surrounding area was mountains, and the cavalry's ability was limited. It was very bad to be surrounded by them in this narrow place. It would be better to take the initiative. As long as you arrive at Long Cham City, you can fight by the city, and you will not be afraid of them surrounding you at that time.
