This time, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize’s main assassination targets were still the barbarians, but they no longer tried to “empty out” the entire barbarian camp, but started from the edge of the camp, spinning around in a small area, and “emptying” the entire area, and then continue to expand the “clean” area.
Compared with the previous sneak attack, the two men’s actions this time were much more “detailed”. The specific performance was that the speed of action slowed down, the movement was as small as possible during the assassination, and after the kill, they would be careful to use the fur blanket to wait for the generals, they wrapped the wound to prevent blood from flowing out and expanding blood stains.
When they escaped last time, Cheng Huaiqian took advantage of the chaos and noticed the location that first exposed the barbarian’s alertness. It seemed that it was because the blood stains spread outside the range of the tent, and the barbarians who passed by at night noticed the abnormality.
The last time the two were novices, they lacked assassination experience and left a flaw. This time it was different. The two of them learned from the experience of failure and killed one by one without hurry.
Of course, another important reason for the slowdown was that the barbarian camp had strengthened the patrol and guard forces. The two needed to spend more time waiting for the vacancy of the patrol team to move between tents.
The barbarians slept very well, whether it was because they stayed up late and didn’t rest well or because they drank milk tea with added ingredients, in short, the barbarians slept very well, and they cooperated very well with Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize’s actions.
The sun appeared on the horizon, and the sky gradually brightened.
While hiding at the door of a tent to observe the patrol team, Cheng Huaiqian looked at the morning sun in the sky, pondered for a moment, and decided to withdraw.
They were there just to complete the additional mission, and there was no need to lose their lives because of greed.
So, Cheng Huaiqian gave Xia Ruize a gesture, and the two looked at the timing. From one tent to another, they moved to the edge of the barbarian camp, and quickly ran away with the last cover of the night.
As soon as they moved away from the barbarian camp, Cheng Huaiqian immediately released the amber horse. When he reached out to invite Xia Ruize, Xia Ruize smiled and shook his head.
In the previous assassination operations, they emptied an area. Two of the camps belonged to the barbarians of the barbaric leader level. The two worked together. One of the young leader’s dead dropped an amber war horse. Now he also had one.
While Cheng Huaiqian was happy for his teammate, he was inexplicably filled with regret. But it came and went fast, and he didn’t particularly care.
The two rode on their war horses and returned to the cavalry.
Cheng Huaiqian inspected the traps set by his cavalry all the way. In order to make it easier to do physical work, the cavalry took off their heavy armor and worked hard for several hours under the light of a few small torches.
At this time, the commander was checking the results, the cavalry was very nervous. In the first half of the night, they did not cooperate with the commander´s actions, and in the second half of the night they worked very hard just to satisfy the commander.
With the skill of trap technique, Cheng Huaiqian was like an experienced old hunter who would arrange various traps. Based on his subordinates’ preparatory work, he added some key points and arranged the traps one by one.
After all traps were checked and accepted, Cheng Huaiqian gave his men time to rest.
It was just that this resting place was a bit nasty.
In the astonishment of the cavalry, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize led them to rest on the hill nearest the barbarian camp. At this time, the sky was already bright, and standing on the hillside, you could easily see the situation of the barbarian camp below.
Of course, the barbarians could see the situation on the hill as soon as they look up.
A line of battle-tested cavalry followed behind the two commanders, looking at the barbarian camp not far below. They only felt timid, and their calves were still a little soft, for fear that the barbarian camp would violently jump over in the next second.
Cheng Huaiqian was different. He was looking forward to the barbarian’s reaction after discovering them. To be honest, there were at most a dozen war horses left in the barbarian camp. If these war horses dared to come, don’t expect to be able to leave.
As for the barbarians who could only run on two legs without a horse?
If they could run past the Daxia cavalry who ride war horses, war horses would not be so precious.
Finding a good place for monitoring on the hill, Cheng Huaiqian ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest in place. He and Xia Ruize sat side by side on the hillside near the barbarian camp, eating and drinking, and pointing to the barbarian camp.
The cavalry looked at each other, and did not dare to question the commander’s order easily, so they took out their dry food tremblingly, but looking at their figures and movements, they were all ready to mount and escape at any time.
The sky was getting brighter and the barbarian camp became active. Some barbarians who had been tossed for a night without a rest woke up with a yawn. Suddenly their expressions stopped, and they sniffed their noses, and found something wrong. The camp had not been cleaned yet? Why was there such a big smell of blood?
While wondering, there was already noisy outside the camp. It turned out that the early barbarians found a large area of the camp that was silent.
This time, the faces of the barbarian leaders could no longer be described as pitch black.
The same question arose in the minds of all the barbarians, how dare the damn Daxia people come? Was it successful again? This time they didn’t even see the figure of the assassin?!
While the barbarians were angry, they couldn’t help feeling a little bit more chill in their hearts. What exactly did the Daxia people have, why could they enter the barbarian camp quietly and kill so many barbarians without making any noise?
Just as the barbarian chief cursed the two small commanders who were in charge of patrols in the middle of the night and ordered heavy punishments, a barbarian found an abnormality on the small hill not far away and couldn’t help but yelled out in surprise.
Suddenly, in the entire barbarian camp, the gaze of more than one thousand two hundred barbarians shot towards the small mountain bag.
The cavalrymen, who were watching the movement of the barbarian camp below while eating their dry food, were stared at by so many barbarians’ hateful gazes, shaking their whole person as if they were stabbed, and the dry food in their hands almost fell.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sitting at the front were different. Xia Ruize was still low-key, but continued to gnaw his buns blankly.
Cheng Huaiqian’s heart was darkened. Not only was he not afraid, he also raised his hand and waved his arm to greet the barbarians below. He even raised the water in his hand with one hand and made a toast. The hatred was really worth it.
“boom!”
The whole camp of barbarians almost exploded. The provoked barbarians felt deeply indignant, they had never been so insulted by the Daxia in this life. They only felt that the blood poured into their brains, and some barbarians even raised their weapons and screamed, rushing in the direction of the small mountain hill.
“Hahahahaha!”
Seeing this picture, Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t drink the water anymore.
The cavalry behind him looked at their commander with horror. The enemy was about to rush over. Now what do you want to do if you don’t want to run quickly? The commander was not crazy, right?!
Xia Ruize looked at the barbarians rushing to the hillside, and at his teammate who laughed wildly. He deeply doubted whether his teammate was often cursed by people in life before. At the same time, a wave of pride suddenly surged in his heart. The enemy was tall and strong but, what about the barbarians? What about the quantity? What about the disparity in power? Isn’t it just that they could only continue to deflate?
Feeling the joy of fighting, Xia Ruize couldn’t help but smile.
“Archery.”
Cheng Huaiqian’s emotions moved freely, he was happy enough, he calmed down immediately, and decisively gave orders to the cavalry behind him.
The barbarian cavalry had superior physical fitness and paid more attention to close combat.
Before leaving Bianlu City, Cheng Huaiqian specifically ordered the cavalry to carry arrows several times the usual combat reserve, which was now in use.
Of course, Xia Ruize was even better with archery.
His bow was a white top-grade Sunbow bow, and his archery was learned from the white top-grade archery technique “Shock Bow”. His power was beyond ordinary people’s power, and he also had the skill of precise aiming.
The result of the combination of these advantages was that he had never drawn a bow to shoot an arrow before, but when Xia Ruize took out his sunbow and bent the bow to set the arrow, except for the first two arrows, he obviously wanted to shoot the heart but only shot to the chest and abdomen, no arrow missed.
Not to mention that the accuracy was getting higher and higher, the power attached to the arrows was getting bigger and bigger. After being proficient, the arrows would even shoot through the previous barbarian and then pierce the next barbarian.
With every arrow shot, a barbarian must fall.
After shooting more than a dozen arrows, Xia Ruize began to try tricks, such as putting three arrows on the bow at the same time. After running in a few times, he started shooting three arrows one at a time, and at least three barbarians fell with one shot.
For another example, aiming at an object and shooting three arrows in a row. The three arrows fired in succession will not only have strong superimposed power, but would also block the way of avoiding.
Xia Ruize took the lead at the forefront, and the 18 cavalrymen at the rear continued to draw bows and shoot arrows. As a result, the barbarians who tried to rush up the hillside to get close to them continued to fall to the ground.
More than ten minutes later, the barbarian was less than fifty meters away from the Daxia cavalry on the top of the hill. Cheng Huaiqian finally gave an order to the cavalry:
“You get on the horse, withdraw according to the plan, be smart, and act accordingly.”
When things came to an end, the cavalry really didn’t want to leave the two commanders and run first.
Cheng Huaiqian, who had been standing with his arms folded, turned his head and looked at his subordinates, with a smile on his face, jokingly: “Hurry up and leave, staying here will drag us down.”
Thinking of the sturdy strength of the two commanders, the cavalry had no choice but to follow Cheng Huaiqian’s order to mount quickly, and gallop into the distance.
Strangely, after the cavalry evacuated to a safe distance on the back of the mountain pack, the speed slowed down. Next, the short captain took five cavalrymen and evacuated south, while the tall captain took the remaining eleven and went northward.
The two groups of cavalries galloped to a place far from the battlefield and hid, not only could they see the battlefield, but also did not easily attract the attention of the barbarians.
Their way of evacuation was very strange, but unfortunately the hatred of the barbarians was concentrated on Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize. In addition, their sight was blocked, and there were not many barbarians who noticed the movements of the Daxia cavalry.
