Chapter 72: Night Attack

The next morning, Gu Du carried the soul box and three days of water and food, and took a hundred crossbowmen out of seclusion and walked to the trench.

Chu Shuting looked at the door and shouted, "This is the second time! I promised to take Yaya there!"

Li Xia coaxed her: "Yaya can't go, we have to wait for the high priest's approval."

Chu Shuting muttered unhappily: "Don't keep your word."

Rest ten miles from the nearest river, it has already entered the grassland very far away and there are few trees. Gu Du lets hundreds of crossbow archers disperse and lie down on the grass to rest so as not to be discovered by enemy sentry probes.

It was not until dark that Gu Du called everyone up and then headed towards the boundary river in the dark.

In the distance, the torch was extremely conspicuous. The workers in Zeguo were still digging the soil. Gu Du opened the soul box and released the three hundred soul troops.

Walking forward one mile away, Gu Du waved his hand to signal everyone to lower his waist, spread slowly, and stopped ten feet away. All the crossbow archers crouched on the ground, lined up in two rows, interlaced with front and back.

Gu Du commanded the soul army to rush towards the guards on the other side of the Border River. Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired at once, and dozens of people fell down screaming.

In the gap between the winding, the workers in the trench climbed up to the north shore in panic, but were hit by Gu Du's soul army again. Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired at once again, and dozens of people screamed and fell down.

Gu Du waved his hand, and a hundred crossbow archers turned around, ran back on the same road, running half a mile before stopping. Then Gu Du waved his hand again, and the hundred crossbow archers moved westward.

Gu Du calculated this way: One person has two pots of arrows, which is forty, and one hundred people is four thousand arrows. If you break half of them, you can kill two thousand people.

However, the crossbow bow is too slow to roll, so one sneak attack can only shoot two arrows, and run away after shooting, and shoot again in a different place.

Or don’t dig, if you want to dig, you will die. Shoot two thousand people to death in one night, and twenty thousand people in ten nights! Then you will lead troops to attack, kill all your people, burn your camp, see if you still scold them!

After walking out of more than two miles, he touched it again, and shot more than a hundred people to death, and then Gu Du went west again.

The torches on the north bank of the Bian River were clear, and the enemy sent a battalion of soldiers, one thousand people, holding torches and shields to run to the shore.

Gu Du raised his arm and clenched his fists. The hundred crossbow archers stopped. Gu Du stared at the enemy troops in the camp and saw them gradually descending to the boundary river, then climbed up from the south bank and lined up again.

Gu Du waved backwards, and hundreds of crossbowmen retreated backwards.

The enemy began to search south, and Gu Du raised his arm and spread his five fingers. A hundred crossbow archers lined up in two rows, interlaced with front and back.

Gu Du's hand flipped over again, and the front row of crossbow archers raised the crossbow.

Gu Du was waiting. When the enemy was approaching ten feet, Gu Du's hand fell down and fifty crossbow arrows shot out. At the same time, the enemy general shouted: "On there! Take the arrow!"

The three hundred soul troops rushed up, and fifty crossbow arrows in the back row were shot out immediately, and then the two rows of front and back were alternately slapped.

But the enemy's crossbow arrows also shot over, killing more than a dozen crossbow archers in an instant.

Gu Du pulled out the horizontal knife and shouted: "Kill..."

"Kill..." The crossbow archer dropped the crossbow, pulled out the horizontal knife and rushed towards the enemy.

After slashing and killing, the enemy fled, Gu Du shouted: "Retreat!"

Everyone ran back and picked up the crossbow, shot and killed another group of escaped enemy troops, and then Gu Du said: "Retreat!"

When I returned to Zhenbei Pass, it was already dawn and everyone was very happy. Although it did not meet the number of people Gu Du expected, killing most of the soldiers in the battalion was worth the trip.

Wu Renxiong was extremely happy and set up a celebration banquet to celebrate Gu Du's achievements. Guan Shanyue had another horse face and cursed in her heart: Damn thing! She likes to show off like Chu Qin.

Li Xia said: "Senior Brother, I have to go with you tomorrow. I can't let you take all the credit by yourself."

Gu Du replied with a smile: "If you don't go tomorrow, how can you go every day? You won't be ambushed."

Li Xia said, "Then take me with you next time."

Gu Du replied: "It depends on how the high priest approved it. If Yaya is not allowed to leave the seclusion, you can't go."

"Hmph!" Chu Shuting said with an unhappy look: "You don't keep your word, my wolf pack is useless!"

Wu Renxiong asked in surprise: "What kind of wolf pack?"

Guan Shanyue also stared at Chu Shuting with her eyes.

Chu Shuting's eyes flashed and hid in Jin Lan's arms. Jin Lan smiled and said, "The kid is talking nonsense. Where do you get the wolves? The whistle detective will give you a reward every day. If there are wolves, you would have known about it to the general."

Wu Renxiong smiled, but he didn't believe Jin Lan's words, but since he was unwilling to say in detail, he didn't have to ask, and said, "Come on! Master Gu, drink this cup!"

Four days later, the official documents of the Soul Yushi arrived, and Gu Du and Lixia were allowed to act cheaply.

Li Xia gave Guan Shanyue the official documents to Guan Shanyue, and Guan Shanyue said, "It's good to have official documents, so I don't have to worry about this leisure anymore."

Gu Du went to find Wu Renxiong and asked, "Can you still fight?"

Wu Renxiong said excitedly: "Fight! You fight hard, I'll ask you for me."

Gu Du said, "That's nothing."

Wu Renxiong said, "If you don't want it, I want it. I am the general of the garrison. I have my share of your military achievements!"

Gu Du smiled and said, "Then give me two hundred archers."

Wu Renxiong asked, "No crossbow?"

Gu Du replied: "The crossbow is too heavy and the string is slowly lifted."

Wu Renxiong said: "Okay."

Before leaving the next day, Gu Du said to Chu Shuting: "Yaya, this is going to the battlefield. I am a general. You must listen to me. You must do whatever I ask you to do. Don't hesitate, let alone ask questions. Do you understand?"

Chu Shuting replied, "Disciple understand."

Gu Du said again: "If you make a mistake this time, I will never take you to fight again in the future. In order to protect you, your soul master cannot fight, do you understand?"

Chu Shuting replied, "Disciple understand."

Gu Du said to Conghai and Fang Shiyao again: "You two don't have to carry bows. Each of them carries two pots of arrows for use by Li Xia and Jin Lan."

The two of them replied in unison: "Yes."

When I walked fifteen miles away from the Border River, I saw three enemy sergeants wandering on horseback. It seemed that the last night attack had a great deterrent effect, and the enemy did not dare to take it lightly.

While Gu Du saw the enemy's provocate, the enemy's provocate also saw them, turned his horse's head and ran north.

Gu Du said, "Yaya, let those three horses come back."

Chu Shuting stared at the front, and the enemy's squad's horse suddenly circled in circles and ran back. The enemy's squad was panicked and tied the reins hard, but even though the war horse was strangled, it still ran south.

Gu Du said again: "Yaya, let the wolf go up and eat the enemy, and don't hurt the horse."

Dozens of wolves ran over from a distance and rushed three whistle detectives under the horse, and the three horses ran to Gu Du to stop.
