Chapter 86 Enemy Night Attack!
"Sir, sir, there is something wrong." Lin Chuan just slept less than two hours after inspecting the defense line, but was gently woken up by the thunderstorm.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes, turned over and asked, "Did the dynasty army arrive at the south bank?"
Leistorm nodded, "But not sure, you'd better go and see it yourself."
Lin Chuan knew something might be wrong, so he quickly turned over and got out of bed, quickly put on his armor, grabbed the sword under the pillow and walked out.
When he arrived outside the camp, Lin Chuan found that his guards were fully armed and waiting outside.
"I woke them all up just in case," Thunderstorm whispered.
Lin Chuan turned his head and instructed: "Don't make a statement for now, and we should also postpone the notification of the general. First, determine whether the enemy has arrived. It is easy to cause panic this night."
"Sir, please follow the order." Leisho responded quickly.
After a while, Lin Chuan and a group of guards arched their waists to the front line of defense.
"What's the situation?" Seeing Sith lying on the earthen wall looking out, Lin Chuan walked over and asked in a low voice.
Sith hurriedly squatted down: "In the second half of the night, someone heard something happening opposite, but the torch on the other side did not light up, so I couldn't see the situation clearly. I just sent someone to swim and haven't come back yet."
At this moment, on the defense line on the north bank, all the soldiers of the flag camp where the Sith were located were gently awakened. They were waiting quietly in the trench and behind the earthen walls, waiting for orders.
The defense line was still silent, and torches in the distance were burning, and several soldiers on duty were staring at the river vigilantly. On the surface, it seemed that the defense line on the north bank was normal.
Lin Chuan whispered to Lei Shao: "No matter what the situation is opposite, just in case, go and wake up the people from Xiao Zhanqi Camp, remember not to make too much noise."
"Sir, please follow the order." Thunderstorm cat headed down the trench toward the camp.
Soon, three thousand soldiers from Xiao Zhanqi Camp had quietly gathered in the open space in the camp, and they also knew that the other side might be unusual.
Lin Chuan lay behind the earthen wall, quietly observing the opposite side of the Sanggan River. In addition to the sound of the rushing water, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a few special sounds occasionally, such as the collision of armor and the sound of someone slipping.
"Let the soldiers prepare for the battle!" After listening for a while, Lin Chuan had confirmed that an enemy had appeared on the dark opposite shore.
An enemy appeared on the other side without a torch, which only showed one problem, that is, the enemy wanted to raid at night. Thinking that the other side might be the elite of the First Corps of the Central Army, Lin Chuan became more convinced of his idea.
"Sir, look..." Lin Chuan looked in the direction of Sith's finger, and there was a slight sound of water sliding there.
Without the officer's instructions, the crossbowmen who were hiding in the trench had already pointed their sharp arrows at the water.
"It's our scout-" said the Sith.
Soon, the wet soldier quickly climbed into the trench.
"Sir, the other side is the dynasty army. It's too dark to see how many people are, but the number of people will definitely not be small."
The scout's words confirmed Lin Chuan's idea. The dynasty army had arrived at the south bank of the Sanggan River and was preparing to launch a raid on the Xing Tu army during the dark night.
Lin Chuan snorted coldly. Since he was discovered by himself, he would play with them and see who sneaked into the attack.
"Thunderstorm, hurry up and inform the general, saying that the dynasty army has arrived on the south bank, and he should know what to do."
The thunderstorm had just returned and ran towards the Central Military Camp in the east again.
Since it has been determined that the enemy wants to raid, Lin Chuan is ready to use the trick and give the other party a big gift.
All the crossbowmen and giant crossbows were transferred to the front line of the trench, and the sharp crossbow arrows aimed at the river surface. As long as the opponent dared to swim across and attack, the opponent would definitely not be able to attack, and the losses would be heavy.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the cool breeze at night made people feel a little cold. All the Xingtu soldiers lay quietly in the trench, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
"There is some movement..." Sith kept staring at the river surface and suddenly said in a low voice.
Lin Chuan hurriedly looked up and could hear a slight paddling sound from the darkness on the river surface, and the sound of weapons colliding from time to time.
"Without my order, everyone is not allowed to act rashly. If you are closer, you will attack." Seeing that the enemy is really attacking at night, Lin Chuan showed joy on his face and hurriedly ordered.
Lin Chuan's orders were passed down one by one and reached the ears of every soldier. All the Xingtu soldiers held their breath, held their weapons tightly, and stared at the dark river surface.
The soldiers on duty with torches in the distance had already received the order and were pretending to be holding weapons and leaning against the wall to nap to confuse the enemy.
"Crash" With the sound of the clattering water, a large number of black shadows gently drilled out of the water, turned ashore, and carefully touched the silent Xing Tujun defense line.
As more and more black shadows appeared, the shallows in front of the defense line were already covered with black shadows. At this moment, [31 Novel Network] they were lying on the ground, like wriggling giant insects, crawling towards Xing Tujun's defense line in a strange posture.
The Chaozhou Army's sneak attack troops were very quiet and made almost no big noise, which was enough to show their elite. However, their actions to cover up the movements were so ridiculous in Lin Chuan's eyes, because just under his nose, the enemy thought he was about to succeed.
As the black shadows climbed closer and closer, the Xing Tu warrior in the trench breathed rapidly, and the giant crossbows and bows in front of him could no longer help but launch them.
As the enemy was getting closer, Lin Chuan could see the swords with cold light in their hands, and could hear their rapid breathing. Perhaps they were also nervous.
"Start!!" Lin Chuan suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound was very far away. Lin Chuan's voice suddenly and harshly in the quiet night, like the summoning of the god of death. The Xing Tu warrior, who could not help but let go of his fingers.
"Swish swish swish swish!" The powerful crossbow arrows were like a dark curtain, covering the shallows. Before the dynasty soldiers could react, the arrows had already shot through their bodies with strong wind.
The sudden arrows made the dynasty soldiers stunned. The crossbow arrows like spears kept overturning them, and a shrill scream came from the shallows.
Perhaps the screams woke the officers of the Dynasty army, and they roared, "Storm up, rush up!"
Seeing that the sneak attack was no longer possible, the dynasty officers reacted quickly and directed the soldiers to charge towards the Xingtu army's defense line.
Puff puff puff!!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh and blood came one after another. Although the dynasty soldiers were fearless and wanted to rush up to fight in close combat, they were greeted with stronger and denser arrows.
"Show! Launch!!"
