The devil is coming

Chapter 17 Taste
“Turn off, curfew!”
Every night, at a certain time, soldiers would come to convey the curfew order, asking all the people to put out the bonfires they had raised and rest.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, but in this season and with a tent, it is not unbearable.
"okay!"
Xue San took water, put out the bonfire, and then got into the tent.
In addition, the three passers-by have their own simple tents. The civilians are in a hurry and are not nomadic, so the tents in the civilian camp are very small and can only be used to support them.
The soldiers' tents looked good, and they looked like they were issued by the army.
"The Lord sleeps inside, and I sleep outside."
Liang Cheng placed his blanket at the entrance of the tent and lay down.
Zheng Fan was not polite. Liang Cheng was a zombie and should not be afraid of the cold. However, he still looked at Xue San curiously, "San'er, why don't you come in and sleep?"
Xue San shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine bag he had secretly brought from the tent, and then pointed outside, "My lord, I will sleep outside. I have already dug a hole. I am small, so I can't dig it." It’s convenient.”
After Xue San went out, Zheng Fan also lay down.
It's just that I can't sleep tonight no matter what.
The knife was placed under his blanket, and he could reach it with his hand. It seemed that this cold object could bring real warmth to him.
"My lord, please rest, we are watching." Liang Cheng said.
"it is good."
There was not much communication because Zheng Fan trusted Liang Cheng's judgment.
The task of the food transport team that I and others are currently undertaking is definitely not just as simple as transporting food.
Liang Cheng said that the baggage team he and others were currently in had a high probability of being used as bait, and they deliberately chose such a "death-seeking" terrain to camp tonight. If nothing else, the activation of the bait should That's tonight.
Even if you tell the centurion in the baggage camp, the centurion will probably kill you quietly first. Looking at the strange performance of the cavalry in the past few days, if nothing unexpected happens, the baggage camp will The regular troops here should know their tasks.
As for protecting these innocent civilians, telling them the truth, and then leading them to blow up the camp and escape...
First of all, this is a desert, four days' walk from Hutou City on the border. Once the civilian team explodes and scatters, whether it is the barbarians or the Yan cavalry dealing with them, it will be equivalent to a one-sided massacre. In the end, it is impossible to return alive. There are also very few in Hutou City.
Moreover, if they really do this, Zheng Fan and the others will directly become a gangster, and they will also be implicated in the blind Siniang and others in Hutou City.
Therefore, no one is a saint, and Zheng Fan has never thought of letting himself learn from a saint. Moreover, from another perspective, if he is a little cold-blooded, he will use these two or three thousand civilians as bait to directly annihilate the enemy and complete the war. The purpose may be detrimental to these civilians, but to Daju...
This is a confusing account. Under the confused account, even those who understand can only learn to be "rarely confused".
Zheng Fan kept telling himself in his heart that he was just a civilian husband, just a civilian husband, just a civilian husband...
On the battlefield, as long as you can save your life.
Well,
If conditions permit,
I don't mind trying to get some benefits for myself as much as possible.
However, because of the heavy physical exertion from traveling during the day, Zheng Fan still felt that his eyelids were a little heavy after lying down, so he could only carefully keep his consciousness still slightly awake while trying his best to squint for a while.
Liang Cheng was sleeping at the entrance of the tent, his eyes sometimes open and sometimes closed;
In the small covered pit outside the tent, Xue San slowly sipped the drink and licked his lips with his tongue from time to time.
may,
For Zheng Fan, now is a kind of anxious waiting;
But for both of them,
This is,
For half a year,
The greatest expectation!
Let this night
Come deeper!
…………
Behind the slope outside the camp, a group of black shadows appeared.
The black shadows gathered here, and then began to disperse at an extremely fast speed. After slowly touching the surroundings of the camp, they unplugged the sentries in their own directions and began to sneak into the camp.
You can hardly say that they are well-trained, because everyone's methods of doing things are different, but they are indeed silent and infiltrated all the way without causing much commotion in the camp.
These are instincts developed during daily hunting.
The desert conditions are harsh. These barbarians are warriors tempered by nature. Even the Yan cavalry relied on sophisticated equipment and tactical discipline to resist them in the Yan-man war a hundred years ago. Therefore, the camp These civilians here were still holding hoes before, so they could not be their opponents.
Three black figures tiptoed into a tent, with three people lying inside. The shadows tiptoed to the sleeping civilian husband.
In the darkness, it seemed that only a little light in the eyes could convey each other's meaning.
The three of them started almost at the same time. They all covered each other's mouth with one hand. Before the civilian husband under his hand could wake up, the other hand held a knife and cut directly to the neck!
"Puff puff!"
There were no screams. Not only here, but also in several other places, this kind of infiltration and night attack was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After these three black shadows finished dealing with this area, they came out quietly and moved to the next tent.
First, he lifted up the tent cloth and glanced at the number of people inside. One of the dark figures was a little surprised. There was a person lying at the entrance of the tent.
As a last resort, we can only solve this one first.
The black shadow squatted down,
Like a master on the assembly line, the next steps are simply repeated.
First, he reached out and quickly pressed down on the other person's mouth. The other person seemed to wake up, but was fine. The other hand held a knife and slashed the person's neck directly!
“Click…………Click…………”
The sound of friction came,
The dark figure was stunned for a moment.
Wiping my neck this time actually gave me the feeling of being sharpening a knife with a whetstone.
Moreover, the expected blood-hot liquid did not splash out.
Almost instinctively, the black shadow held the knife against the man's neck and cut it back and forth several times.
"K... ka... ka..."
Holy shit, is this a human neck, so hard?
However, the shadow's doubts did not last long, because a hand suddenly grabbed his neck.
"Crack!"
There was a crackling sound in the bones.
The black shadow's neck was pinched, and his head and shoulders began the most intimate contact in his life.
The two black figures outside the tent seemed to have heard the noise coming from inside. They were extremely surprised and were about to take action. Unexpectedly, a head gradually poked out from the ground behind them.
A smile appeared on Xue San's lips, and he jumped up from the small pit where he was hiding in the ground. After reaching a certain height, the daggers he held in both hands moved forward to harvest!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Two black figures fell to the ground.
Xue San twisted his neck, feeling the murderous feeling that he hadn't seen in a long time.
If Xue San really wanted to scream comfortably if he didn't know that the environment didn't allow it at this time, it would be best to learn how to howl like a wolf a few more times.
Ouch ouch…………
At this time, the tent was opened from the inside, and Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan walked out together.
Liang Cheng was still holding a bloody head in his hand, and at the same time, he said to Xue San:
"Cut the head off."
"okay."
Also at this time,
A harsh whistle sound broke through the false silence tonight.
The gate of the camp was opened by the black shadows that penetrated, and suddenly the sound of galloping horses came from outside.
More than a thousand cavalry roared toward the front and back gates of the stockade. They roared and roared as they filed in and charged into the camp.
The checkpoints in the camp had long been eliminated, and the peripheral defenses had also been solved a lot due to the previous penetration. Under this situation, the two groups of cavalry, one after the other, smoothly rushed into the main camp area.
The sleeping civilians were awakened. Some were at a loss and didn't know what was happening. Others saw the barbarians wearing animal skins and riding horses charging towards them. They were so frightened that they started shouting. .
As Liang Cheng had foreseen, the camp was successfully blown up during the enemy's surprise attack.
Originally, there were hundreds of regular troops in the main camp area, but because of the scattering of their own civilians, they were scattered in formation. They were directly overwhelmed by the barbarian cavalry and then hacked to death.
The camp under night suddenly became a horse farm full of barbarian cavalry. They brandished their sabers and wildly and wantonly slashed at the fleeing prey in front of them.
Kill the prey first, and then enjoy the wonderful moment of dividing the spoils.
Liang Cheng walked in front, Xue San followed, and Zheng Fan walked in the middle. After leaving the tent, the three of them went straight to a corner of the camp. There, there were wooden carts piled with "food and grass" and a camp fence behind them. It was a simple fortification, and it was the point they set up before nightfall.
Zheng Fan clenched the knife in his hand tightly and was on high alert.
Xue San was sitting on the wooden cart, dangling his short legs.
Immediately, Xue San turned to Zheng Fan behind him and said: "My Lord, why don't we sneak out now? It's still too dangerous here."
Hearing this, Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "I believe in Liang Cheng's judgment."
This baggage team is a bait. Now the fish has taken the bait, and the fishing net should be coming soon.
Although it seems a bit cruel to use the lives of thousands of civilians as bait, now that the matter has been arranged, what Zheng Fan and others need to consider is how to protect themselves as much as possible while being prepared in advance. At the same time, get something of practical benefit.
For example, the heads of these barbarians!
As for escaping, it’s a joke. What’s the difference between escaping now and defecting to the national army in [-]?
Seeing Zheng Fan's insistence, Xue San stopped trying. When he turned around, his eyes met with Liang Cheng's, and there was a hint of understanding satisfaction in both of their eyes.
My lord, don’t be pedantic.
After everyone guessed the fate of this team of civilian husbands, they did not clamor to tell everyone so that everyone could save their lives, but directly talked about another matter.
"When we were escorting the grain and fodder the day before yesterday, I heard the two soldiers say that the heads of the barbarians can be exchanged for rewards or military merit."
Xue San smacked his mouth a few times, thinking: After all, he can draw the master who comes out of himself and others. Although it is inevitable that he will be a little flustered and uncomfortable because he is an ordinary person, his heart can It's so dark.
"Woooooo!"
Two barbarian cavalry came after a soldier. The leader rode up and chopped down the soldier. At the same time, they saw Zheng Fan and three people standing in front of him between the wooden cart and the fence.
"Woooooo!"
They let out excited screams, and then continued to urge the horses under their crotches to run again, launching a charge towards the new prey.
Liang Cheng stood up silently, while Xue San closed his eyes and moved his earlobes slightly.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but swallowed. He had only learned from some information that the cavalry was the absolute king in the cold weapon era;
Although it's just two war horses rushing here, the impact is no less than if you were standing in the middle of the road and an off-road vehicle was driving towards you at full speed.
The sound of horse hooves, mixed with the sound of breathing, began to gradually slow down...slow down...and slow down...
Time seemed to be adjusted to a slow pace at this time.
However, Zheng Fan still did not choose to escape or evade, but continued to hold the knife in his hand tightly in a way that did not seem to be so standard.
The distance is getting closer.
Xue San moved first;
His body first rushed downwards quickly, and then bounced up on the front of the horse in an incredible way.
The barbarian knight subconsciously swung his sword, but it missed the mark. However, Xue San had already appeared beside him and was still moving upward.
Hold the dagger in your hand backwards, lift your wrist, and pull it diagonally!
"boom!"
The dagger penetrated the barbarian cavalry's chin and disappeared instantly.
The barbarian cavalry felt that his vision was blood red, and then he lost consciousness.
Liang Cheng, on the other hand, waited for the cavalry to rush in front of him before moving.
Perhaps, in the view of the barbarian cavalry, the man in front of him would be turned into flesh under the iron hooves of the war horse under his crotch. However, this man punched the war horse in an incredible way and hit the head of the war horse. .
"boom!"
The front legs of the war horse bent down directly, and the terrifying inertia threw the barbarian cavalry forward.
Liang Cheng directly grabbed the opponent's animal skin clothes from the back and pressed him against the car board. At the same time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan:
"Lord!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!"
Almost instinctively,
Zheng Fan raised his knife,
He beheaded the completely subdued barbarian cavalry in front of him!
"puff!"
blood splattered,
Red, hot, hot,
Zheng Fan opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and his body swayed slightly.
Slowly, another taste came out,
sweet…
