Chapter 337: The Attack and Killing Continues

Chapter 337: The Attack and Killing Continues (Monthly Summary)

As night falls and the hour of the Ox approaches,
In the second half of the night, the darkness in the southwest forest became deeper and deeper.

A deep blue-black veil gently covers the entire world.

The moonlight shines through the sparse clouds, scattering mottled light on the winding mountain road.

Now that spring has arrived, green grass has grown on the ground, with silver-white and dark green interweaving together, appearing quiet and profound.

In the mountains and forests, every time the breeze blows, the leaves rustle.

And every time the leaves rustle, there is something unusual in it.

Two teams of more than a few hundred people were traveling through the mountains and forests.

Walk carefully through every place where a trap might exist, while trying to minimize the noise made by walking.

The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, which indicates that they are moving forward at a very fast speed.

This time the breeze lasted particularly long.

The two teams were stationed at the north and south ends, thirty feet apart, and marched quickly through the mountains and forests!
Soon the breeze died down and the two teams slowed down.

They were wearing heavy armor and were covered in gauze all over their bodies.

With a huge dark green backpack on their backs and the camouflage on their bodies, they are inconspicuous in the dark forest!

The two teams were the exploration teams that set out from Yunlongzhou after dark.

Led by Qin Yuanfang and Sun Sian.

After the two of them left Yunlongzhou, they did not encounter much obstacles.

It was easy to break into the range of the Fishing Department.
Less than a mile away, you will be out of the forest and see the Youyu tribe standing on the flat ground.

At this moment, the two of them moved forward cautiously and began to merge!
After the two leaders joined forces, they met under a large tree hidden in the darkness.
The two looked at each other through their masks.
You can feel the doubts in the other person's heart without saying anything.

It went so well!

Sun Sian thought for a moment and spoke softly:
"I encountered more than 20 traps and more than 10 secret agents here. What about you?"

Qin Yuanfang nodded and spoke in a muffled voice:
"Almost. Both the traps and the spies are very crude. It seems like they are just fooling around. I feel something is wrong."

Sun Sian obviously realized this and nodded repeatedly:

“Yes, I feel that way too.

It looks like it was set up by an ordinary hunter, not sophisticated, nor hidden."

"Sir, what should we do?" Qin Yuanfang took two deep breaths and asked softly.

Sun Sian looked forward with deep eyes.
You can vaguely see the orange-red flames coming through the branches and leaves.

"Everyone rest for half a quarter of an hour, and then continue forward to find out what's going on.

I will then change my equipment and take a closer look.”

"Yes." Qin Yuanfang responded in a low voice.

The military camp built by the Ming army was located on the site of the former Youyu tribe.

As usual, this place exudes dazzling light, like a pearl inlaid in the darkness.

However, the broken Sifang Fortress makes people feel a bit embarrassed.

Houses were shattered, tents were flying, outer fences and many fortifications were destroyed.
Only black charcoal remains of the towering arrow tower, and its original appearance cannot be seen.

What is even more striking is that the camp is surrounded by large dark pits.

The black color spread outward radially, as if something had exploded here.

At this moment, Qin Yuanfang, who had changed his equipment, was crawling on the ground with ten soldiers.
Their bodies and faces were covered with camouflage, blending in with the surrounding grass.

Qin Yuanfang looked at the black pit not far away and knew that it was a hole caused by the stone mine and the thunder.
Looking up, the densely packed black pits make people look moved.

It is enough to remind us how brutal the war was that day.

Qin Yuanfang lay on the ground, sweat pouring down his forehead.

He raised his head and looked towards the southern fence of the Youyu Department, which was only ten feet away.

It was empty and unrepaired.
You can vaguely see the burnt fence and two Luchuan soldiers sleeping soundly on both sides of the broken fence.

Qin Yuanfang pulled the telescope out of his boots, lay down, and looked towards the Yuyu Department.
It was not a big deal to see this, but it scared Qin Yuanfang so much that he almost doubted his own eyes.

He moved the telescope away and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Then he continued to look, and his mouth opened wider and wider!

I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
"Fuck, where are the people?"

In Qin Yuanfang's sight, among the densely packed military tents, only the outer circle was intact.
Inside were some broken military tents that had already been there.

When the breeze blows, you can vaguely see that it is empty inside.

According to the information from the scouts in Yunlongzhou,
There should be nearly 40,000 Luchuan soldiers stationed in the Youyu tribe camp at this moment.

But now, where are the people?

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuanfang became more bold.

Half-bending his waist, he used a telescope to look at the other three walls.

The soldiers behind him were shocked and buried their heads even lower, fearing that they would be discovered.

Soon, Qin Yuanfang lay down again.

There was something meaningful on his face.

His heart was pounding and a guess emerged in his mind!
After lying down, he waved his hand gently and instructed the soldiers behind him:
"withdraw!"

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Yuanfang ran quickly through the forest and returned to the main camp. He immediately saw Sun Sian coming towards him.

Sun Sian had doubts in his eyes and anxiety in his voice:
"What's going on? You're back so soon?"

Qin Yuanfang's breathing became a little rapid, and he said quickly:
“Sir, I suspect that most of Luchuan is no longer in Youyu Tribe.
There are no people in the tents in the military camp, and only the outer circle of the tents is intact!"

"what?"

Sun Sian's brows furrowed instantly, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Considering the strange scenes along the way, this explanation seems more reasonable.

Otherwise they would not have been able to break into the camp so easily.

A question that followed made Sun Sian feel heavy-hearted.

Where did the nearly 40,000 Luchuan soldiers go?

There is no doubt that it is impossible to return to Luchuan by the original route, and the only option is to continue going deeper into Dali!
So where did they go? The answer is obvious.

Sun Sian raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, his breathing suddenly stopped, and he looked towards the Youyu tribe camp that was brightly lit in the dark.

If I'm not mistaken, the camp in front of us is used for confusion.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Sun Sian's eyes. He looked at Qin Yuanfang and said in a deep voice:
"We now have two choices. One is to quickly return and report.
Tell this matter to adults and let them judge.

Second, we will gather our forces, sneak up quietly, and find out what's going on.
If this is really a plan to lure the enemy, then we can retake the camp today."

When Qin Yuanfang heard this plan, his eyes widened and he took a breath.
"My Lord, this plan is too dangerous.

If there are enough enemy troops in the camp, we will be in big trouble."

Sun Sian put his hands on his hips, turned around and looked towards the camp, his voice a little hollow:

"We are a reconnaissance team. If we cannot find out the real intelligence, there is no point in going back.

So, send ten men to wait here.

Most of the troops will go up and if everything goes well, they will gather the soldiers to re-collect the intelligence.
If things don’t go well, they will report our experiences to us!”

After Sun Sian finished speaking, he did not look at Qin Yuanfang.
Instead, he looked at the many soldiers waiting on the side.

They were wearing masks at the moment and their faces could not be seen clearly, but Sun Sian knew who they were.

After taking a deep breath, Sun Sian spoke in a deep voice:
"Yan Shuheng, the ten men in your group have the best running speed, wait here!

If anything goes wrong with us, you should report back quickly and don’t come to rescue us.”

A soldier wearing a mask stepped forward and shouted:
"Yes!"

As soon as the voice fell, some small flags around him began to persuade:

"Sir, this is too dangerous. It's better to be cautious."

"Yes, let's go back and report to the adults."

Sun Sian shook his head, his face firm:
"No need to persuade me, I have made up my mind.

Since it is an investigation, then investigate it thoroughly.
It's worth it even if it costs some money to find out the enemy's remaining troops."

Seeing this, the group stopped trying to persuade him, but stood there silently. Qin Yuanfang spoke in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency is right. On the way here, we were ready to fall into a trap and suffered heavy losses.
I didn't expect to get here unscathed. This is so strange, I really need to investigate carefully."

Seeing that his deputy Qin Yuanfang agreed, Sun Sian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made a battle plan:

"All soldiers take off their mesh, masks, gloves, and backpacks.
Each 10-man squad was equipped with combat weapons.
Three long swords, two long spears, three bows and crossbows, and two muskets!
In addition, all telescopes must be removed and follow the orders of the superior officer!"

Sun Sian looked at Qin Yuanfang and took off his head armor and mask.

Resolute eyes appeared in the darkness, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"You and I will attack in batches with two hundred men.
If there really are a large number of enemy troops, you don't need to show up, retreat quickly!"

Qin Yuanfang knew what he meant and nodded heavily:

"Yes!"

"If anything goes wrong, we will retreat quickly."

Sun Sian nodded, looked at the many flags present, and the soldiers who cast their eyes over to him.

Raise your hands suddenly, place them vertically in front of your chest, clench them tightly, and shake them gently!
Swish swish!
A slightly noisy sound was heard, and many soldiers present raised their arms!
"Attack in two quarters of an hour!"

Half an hour later, Sun Sian suddenly jumped up from the grass, his eyes sharp.
He held the dagger backwards and pushed hard on the grass with his feet.
In an instant, he jumped to the empty space on the south side, where the Luchuan soldiers were sleeping soundly!
The dagger in his hand instantly stabbed into his neck, blood spurted out.

Until this moment, the man opened his eyes in confusion.

When he noticed the person in front of him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes and he wanted to shout loudly.

Sun Sian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he twisted his palm hard.
The dagger made a slightly stagnant sound and cut the throat of the Luchuan soldier.

Looking sideways, another soldier was also killed.

In the distance, the sounds of arrows breaking through the air could be heard one after another, followed by groans and the sound of corpses falling to the ground.

There were two soldiers guarding each of the three walls.
When Sun Sian took action, they were killed at the same time!

Until this moment, Sun Sian had a clear view of the entire camp, which was empty.

It seems that there are only eight people guarding the four directions.

He has been able to confirm that most of Luchuan are not here, and there are not even many soldiers here.

At this time, some tents outside heard muffled noises and movement.

The candlelight lit up and a figure flashed inside!
Sun Sian waved his hands vigorously, took out the trumpet from behind his waist, and blew it violently! !

A sharp and urgent voice sounded from the south side of the camp.

What followed was shouts of killing from all directions.

Teams of soldiers rushed into the camp in an organized manner and met the Luchuan soldiers who came out of the military tent.

Spears charged, long swords shouted, bows and crossbows fired, muskets fired
The Luchuan soldiers who rushed out one by one fell down like wheat being cut, and could not form any effective resistance!
Seeing that the war was going well,
Sun Sian waved his hand towards the back.
A number of figures suddenly stood up on the originally flat ground that had no visible traces.

It was the second team led by Qin Yuanfang. They rushed over quickly, their faces turning strange.
When we got closer, we could see no more than fifty bodies at the gap on the south side.

There are perhaps no more than 200 Luchuan soldiers in this military camp.

Sun Sian sighed, wiped the dagger in his hand, and said:
"My guess is correct. Those Luchuan people are not here, but we need to investigate carefully where they went."

He looked at Qin Yuanfang and said:
"So, we will cross the river and check if there are any signs of Luchuan's retreat.

Your unit will enter the forest from the south and see if there are any signs of the main force moving forward.

After confirmation, quickly return to report."

Qin Yuanfang looked solemn and nodded vigorously:

"Yes!"

After saying this, Qin Yuanfang waved to the soldiers in the rear:

"Change your clothes and head five miles south!"

Sun Sian looked at the soldiers who were checking the bodies and ordered:

"I want to check the camp and its food and weapons."

"Yes!"

While in a coma, Lu Yunyi felt someone pushing him.
The darkness before his eyes flickered, as if there were some colorful lights.

Lu Yunyi reacted quickly, opened his eyes, and raised his head suddenly!

The many decorations that came into view confused him for a moment.

When he saw Feng Yunfang's face, he came to his senses and looked at the documents on the table.

There was a bunch of water stains and wrinkles on it, which made Lu Yunyi frown.

"What time is it?"

"Sir, it's dawn, Master Sun is back."

"So soon? Ask him to come in!"

Lu Yunyi took off his cloak in a daze.

He stood up and walked to the basin, trying to use cold water to wake his brain up.

Fortunately, several days of traveling left him with some cuts on his face, and the pain gradually sobered him up.

When footsteps sounded, Lu Yunyi suddenly raised his head.
He didn't care that his face was dripping with water, and asked:

"How about it?"

Sun Sian's face was filled with fatigue after a long journey, his lips were a little chapped, and he said quickly:
"Sir, there are less than 200 soldiers in the camp, and all the weapons, food, and money in the camp have disappeared.

After investigation, most of Luchuan went south.

Hearing this, Lu Yunyi's originally heavy expression suddenly showed a smile and he chuckled.

Sun Sian was slightly startled, and handed over the document in his hand:

"Sir, this is the record of our group's findings.
We also found the corpse pit that the Yunlongzhou scouts mentioned.

There is not just one, there is another one by the river, with nearly 10,000 people.

I estimate that the casualties in Luchuan during the capture of the military camp should be between 14,000 and 15,000."

Sun Sian's face was extremely solemn. Even though he had seen a battlefield with tens of thousands of people fighting each other,
But suddenly seeing 20,000 corpses still made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Yunyi grabbed the towel, wiped his face casually, and just stood there to finish reading the document.

After reading it, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:

"Well done, you have done a great job."

Sun Sian suddenly became reserved and said:
"Sir, Qin Yuanfang led his soldiers to the south. I guess the people of Luchuan want to attack Jinchiwei."

Lu Yunyi smiled and nodded, taking the teacup and handing it over:

"You're right, come, drink some water first, and then go back and have a good rest.

Let You Dafeng and Wang Shen handle the intelligence gathering on the Golden Tooth Guards."

Sun Sian, who was drinking water, suddenly widened his eyes, choked, and started coughing violently, his face full of shock.

"Sir, Lord Wang went to the Golden Tooth Guard?"

Lu Yunyi sat down with a smile, looked at the wrinkles on the document on the table, raised his eyebrows, and slammed it shut:
"If nothing unexpected happens, they will be back soon."
