Chapter 1519 Night Attack

The elite troops needed by Yelu Dashi were quickly gathered.

"Khan, these are elite soldiers, but they are not very good at using firearms!"

Ibrahim looked at Yelu Dashi and said that they were now very interested in gunpowder and wanted to know the secret behind it.

"Don't worry, the people here know how to use it, just cooperate with them."

Yelu Dashi was not prepared to let everyone know the secret of gunpowder at this time. Only by keeping it secret could these people be motivated.

Seeing that they were unable to get a glimpse of the secret of gunpowder, several people felt regretful. However, the people who went this time were all their trusted ones, and everything would be clear after they came back. They even asked their trusted ones to find a way to get some gunpowder during the chaos.

"set off!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Yelu Dashi immediately gave the order.

"kill!"

A group of elite soldiers shouted in low voice and entered the rain wearing waterproof cloaks.

Star Gorge.

Xin Qiji yawned. He had been keeping watch for most of the night. The heavy rain had not stopped and the fog was getting heavier. He was very sleepy.

"Go and rest, kid, we'll guard it!"

The old soldiers looked at Xin Qiji and said with a smile, after all, he is just a child, how can he not endure this.

"I'm okay!"

Xin Qiji insisted that he was unwilling to admit defeat.

"Go and have a rest. There will be a big battle tomorrow! Get enough rest!"

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji and said.

Xin Qiji did not insist, turned over and fell asleep.

"This kid is a great guy. He will definitely be a good fighter in the army in the future!"

The veterans laughed and said that he was so young and could endure the hardships in the army, was not afraid of going to the battlefield, and now he could even fall asleep as soon as he lay down. It was simply that he was born for the army.

"Your Majesty must have valued this fact when he sent him to the front line!"

Lu You smiled and said that the person who could allow Sun Lei to make so many franchises must be extraordinary.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and their sleepiness from the second half of the night was relieved a lot, but their eyes were still fixed on the rain and fog in the distance.

"Something's wrong!"

Suddenly an old soldier spoke up.

"Well, what's the problem?"

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Over there, there seemed to be some unusual movement just now, but it disappeared quickly!"

The veteran pointed in a direction and said.

Everyone looked over, but because it was too dark and raining heavily, they couldn't see clearly.

"How about going out and checking it out?"

Lu You said in a low voice.

"No, if there is a problem, we will alert the enemy if we go out."

The veteran spoke.

"This heavy rain has obscured our vision. We can't see far. This is not a solution. If they are really enemies, they are very close! They may be looking for a breakthrough point!"

Lu You said worriedly that although he had no evidence to prove the existence of enemies, the sense of crisis on the battlefield told him that there must be something wrong in the darkness.

"Show your weakness, you're all pretending to be sleepy!"

The veteran immediately figured out a solution: if he wanted to lure out the enemy, he had to use himself as bait.

"Is this the case of catching a wolf without sacrificing a lamb?"

Lu You smiled bitterly. The enemy that came in the dark night must be no simple one. If they rashly exposed their weakness, they might not be able to stop the enemy. Losing the position would be a serious crime.

"Everyone go to sleep!"

The veterans whispered, then one by one pretended to be sleepy and began to rest.

"That's it?"

Xin Qiji was woken up in a daze and asked in confusion.

"There are enemies. Brace yourselves! It's going to be a bloody battle!"

Lu You whispered to Xin Qiji.

"enemy?"

Xin Qiji immediately clenched his weapon and became nervous.

In the darkness, the Western Liao army, wearing black cloaks, found that the enemy's defense was a little weak, and the soldiers on guard began to doze off.

This made the Western Liao army very excited, and they immediately moved forward. "Sure enough, there are enemies! These people are really patient, crawling in the mud."

Only then did Lu You see the enemy clearly. It turned out to be a group of enemies in black cloaks approaching in the mud in the cover of night.

"beat!"

As the old soldier roared, bows and crossbows fired at once, and the approaching enemies were shot dead one after another.

"kill!"

The Western Liao soldiers didn't know how they were discovered, and they started charging with a roar, some of them holding black bombs in their arms.

"What are those? Bombs!"

When Xin Qiji saw the iron balls in those people's hands, he suddenly had a terrible idea: these enemies actually had bombs.

"hidden!"

When Lu You saw the enemies throwing iron balls, he immediately called out to the veterans.

Everyone ducked to avoid it.

"Boom boom boom!"

An explosion sounded in the rainy night.

Lu You and others were not hurt by the bomb because they dodged in time, but the enemy had already approached them because of the time they dodged.

"kill!"

The veterans roared, formed into threes, and jumped out of their cover to start fighting.

"kill!"

Xin Qiji also roared and wanted to charge forward, but Lu You held him back.

"Don't go, you don't have enough energy!"

Lu You pulled Xin Qiji back. This fight was not the same as during the day. The enemy was elite and the veteran soldiers could not take care of Xin Qiji.

"Kill the enemy!"

Xin Qiji was very anxious and he was unwilling to retreat on the battlefield.

"You'll only cause more trouble if you go."

Lu You didn't care about that and forced Xin Qiji to retreat. His mission was to protect Xin Qiji's safety.

  The Western Liao army was very crazy and dared to use bombs even at close range, and many times they hurt their own people!

"retreat!"

The veterans were relatively small in number, and they did not put up a head-on fight but retreated directly.

"kill!"

The Western Liao army was extremely excited and rushed forward towards the military camp on the top of the mountain.

But they had only rushed out a hundred steps when deafening shouts of killing rang out on both wings, and Mi Sheng had already arrived with his men.

Because it was a rainy night, torches could not be used, and due to impaired vision, it was impossible to see how many enemies there were.

"General, there are probably several hundred enemies!"

Lu You immediately reported to Mi Sheng.

"Don't worry, other places have been prepared!"

Mi Sheng nodded. He only brought his personal guards. The defenses of other places were not mobilized. Moreover, because of the movement here, other places also became alert.

"The enemy has gunpowder!"

Xin Qiji said quickly.

"It's just gunpowder!"

Mi Sheng smiled indifferently and said, when it comes to gunpowder, they are the ancestors.

In the dark night, the fighting began. The attack of the Western Liao army was thwarted, but attacks were also launched in other places.

For a moment, there were loud explosions outside the Xingxing Gorge, and it seemed that there were enemies everywhere.

"A blind trick!"

Yue Fei looked at the situation at the foot of the mountain and shook his head. Although there were movements everywhere, he could feel that these were all illusions and the enemy could not have sent so many people.

"They just want to make us feel uneasy. Can they really attack us? But what surprised me is that the enemy actually has gunpowder."

Ou Peng spoke.

The battle did not last long. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Western Liao army quickly retreated. They were not determined to die.

At dawn, the heavy rain gradually subsided.

Yue Fei brought his men to the front of the battle.

"General, this is an enemy bomb!"

A soldier came over with a black iron ball, which was a wet dud.
