Chapter 779: Night attack

Linping County
The blood lotus banner on the city wall has turned into a blue dragon banner and a bright yellow dragon banner. The city gate is closed tightly. The city wall that was damaged by the siege has been repaired. From the outside, you can vaguely see the numerous figures inside.
The main force of His Royal Highness King Hua has slowly withdrawn, and now there are 20,000 troops defending the city, 10,000 each for the Great Immortal Alliance Empire and Dagan.
Rumble!
The ground suddenly trembled slightly, and there was a thunderous sound of horses' hoofs on the horizon, and the number of smoke and dust rolled up could be clearly seen.
"Cavalry, a large cavalry."
Many generals on the wall looked shocked, and obtained this result through experience.
It was in that direction. His Royal Highness had just left. This must be the cavalry unit of the Blood Sea Rebels.
Sure enough, as the smoke and dust on the horizon approached, a black torrent could be gradually seen, with various blood-colored flags standing on it, dotted with lotus patterns.
All the players, the generals and the leaders of the army, stared at the blood lotus banner in the center of the black armored cavalry torrent, icy killing intent surged.
"Come on, prepare the crossbow and trebuchet, and the one who kills the king of thieves, no matter who, can be named duke!"
Their preparations fell through. This cavalry unit did not enter Linping County within one mile, and continued to kill far away without even looking here.
Zhao Shi in the center of the cavalry group ordered through the system: "Zhou Bihu, uproot this city."
"understood."
Zhou Bihu, who came in command of the Second Army, responded gently.
When the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass go first. The amount of grain and grass that the army needs to consume is an astronomical number every day.
If the army is cut off by people and no matter how strong it is, it will collapse within seven days.
This is also the extreme importance of the city in ancient warfare. Even if the generals climb mountains and travel hundreds of miles away, they dare not ignore the current city and go deep into the enemy's territory regardless.
Zhao Shi dares to do this now, mainly because he has absolute confidence that the rear army will attack Linping County, and no matter how bad, he can quickly return with the cavalry in an accident.
Preserving physical strength, he rushed to the distance at a constant speed, and the traces of the axles and footprints of more than one hundred thousand troops marching along the way are clearly visible, and the time to leave is no more than one day.
Chasing them with cavalry, they are expected to be caught in at most half a day.
As they chased, the axle prints and footprints along the way became more and more obvious, and occasionally some undried urine, some chopsticks temporarily shaved with wooden sticks, etc. could be seen.
Seeing this, the chasing cavalry army slowed down even more. Most of the knights, including Zhao Shi, got off their horses, leading the sweaty horses on foot, and finally stopped completely.
It was already dusk, and they had to stop and camp on the spot. Marching at night was extremely dangerous. Don't take risks until the last moment of life or death.
Da Da~
"Military Order!"
In front of the army, players riding on one man and three horses quickly rushed to the center of the army, and soldiers along the way quickly retreated.
They came to Zhao Shi and saluted and said: "Chairman, the frontline battle report, the enemy Huahong Guild's 100,000 troops are twenty miles away and are currently camping. This is detailed information."
While speaking, he passed a document to Zhao Shi.
"Thanks, let's go and rest."
Zhao Shi gently said, accepting this information that is very similar to the document received thirty minutes ago.
Due to the extreme importance of war, the Blood Sea Fairy Alliance adopted two-line double insurance measures in the highest-level military newspaper. The first time it was sent directly through the system without meeting people, the second time was to see people and intelligence. together.
If there is a conflict between the two, they will immediately contact the relevant frontline officers until the problem is found to avoid the carelessness of the relevant personnel or the internal ghosts.
Clicking on this document on the system panel, it turned out to be a scene from the Huayou Department twenty miles away.
There is only one smoke and light three or four meters apart, and the whole area is connected like a sea of ​​lights. The barracks are crisscrossed with clear boundaries.
On the periphery, a one-to-two-meter high camp wall was built with logs cut on the spot, which is like a small city wall.
Most of the soldiers inside are not allowed to go out at will, and they must not make loud noises. The communication soldiers must have a signal, otherwise they will be caught by the spies and the rebels will die.
Seeing this, Zhao Shi put out the thought of attacking the camp at night.
Scattering around him, more than 20,000 soldiers were cutting down trees, digging ditches, dividing the camps of their respective companies, and also building a small camp in a short time.
There are huge torches on all sides of the wall, illuminating the nearby area within tens of meters.
Then the smoke swelled, and the fragrance of food and barbecue diffused, causing the soldiers who had been chasing for a long time to gurgle.
After eating, Zhao Shi sat cross-legged after arranging the guard sentiment, and went to rest and practice.
Time passed quickly.
In the wee hours of the night, the nocturnal animals rustled in the mountains and forests, the worms screamed, the sky was cloudless, and a bright full moon shed its brilliance.
This situation has caused many players who are addicted to practice to raise their heads and look at the bright sky, feeling inexplicably moved in their hearts.
"Kill the thief!"
"Long live your majesty!"
The sudden shouts and loud gongs and drums awakened the soldiers who had fallen asleep, holding their weapons nervously, and looking at their squad leader.
A squad leader listened carefully for a while, then looked up at the blank air in front of him, with a clear expression on his face: "Continue to sleep, you can bear Dazhu's snoring, this sound is a fart!"
"The monitor is right!"
The soldiers around laughed, looked at a tall man with flushed face next to him, and joked with each other.
Afterwards, he even went to sleep with his head covered, and the outside shouts amidst the boring nagging of the elderly in the family, and the snoring sounded slowly again.
Some soldiers who joined the army after the army expansion were still very scared. They unconsciously relaxed when they heard the snoring of their comrades, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Hurt, disturb the rest?"
Zhao Shi opened his eyes: "Hua Youwei is too floating."
In terms of the most elite soldiers, that is, the number of players, the number of the Blood Sea Immortal League is more than three times that of the Great Immortal League Empire, not to mention that Zhao Shi has gathered the essence of the Blood Sea Immortal League, and the opposite Hua Youwei is just Partial teacher.
He turned his head and said: "Ling'er, go and deal with it, don't disturb the soldiers' good night sleep."
"Yes, son."
Zhao Ling'er nodded gently, and brought thirty-six slender soldiers in black armor to leave like ghosts.
Thirty-seven people scattered into the large barracks and shouted with gongs and drums, but in the dark jungle where they remained still, there were screams and clanging of weapons.
A quarter of an hour later, thirty-seven figures returned and rejoined the army camp. The noise outside and the sound of insects disappeared without a trace. There were hundreds of corpses in the forest, many of them players.
