Chapter 495 (1/2)

The night was very quiet.

Not only did there be no insects, not even the wind.

This kind of tranquility has far exceeded the tranquility in the general sense.

However, as long as they have some experience, they will be very clear that this tranquility is actually caused by the escaping murderous spirit.

Such a strong and obvious murderous spirit, the two armies present are not recruits, of course, we can feel this strong murderous intention. There is almost no need for the commanders of both sides to say anything. Everyone knows each other very well. No matter what the result is, the hard-working journey of several days will end tonight. Many veterans even have a sense of relief at this moment, and the whole person seems relaxed and energetic.

Even if it was late at night, not many people fell asleep.

Because the evacuation time was very urgent, no one even built the wooden fence, not to mention tents and quilts, in both Sean's camp and Thain's camp. Everyone sleeps on the ground. If it's too cold to stand, only a few people can squeeze together - in fact, the most serious case of real non combat attrition is that they are frozen to death in their sleep because they don't have cold protection equipment.

However, no one complained.

War is cruel and realistic.

The night was getting darker and darker, but no matter which side seemed to have a tacit understanding, they didn't do it. With the passage of time, the night began to turn from thick to light. Everyone knew that the dawn would come in a few hours. Generally, at dawn, the large troops would start one after another, and then there was a new round of escape and pursuit, but this time, no one came to remind them that it was almost time to wake up.

Time is passing quietly.

But soon, in this quiet space, there was finally a slight sound.

Although the sound is very slight, just the sound of several stones rolling down, it is obviously not normal in this case.

If you look down from a high altitude at the moment, and if the sky is a little brighter, you can clearly see that a large group of people have surrounded the small area where Sean and others rest, and are slowly shrinking the surrounding circle and approaching bit by bit. The sound of stones rolling just now was caused by a soldier accidentally stepping on a high and low ground when he fell to his feet.

Almost as soon as the sound sounded, it was like the chain reaction of dominoes. From the soldier to both sides, it quickly spread to the whole encirclement. All the soldiers held their breath at this moment. At the same time, no one dared to move forward, as if everyone had become a sculpture at this moment.

If William could see this scene, he would show his appreciation without stingy eyes and sincerely praise the elite.

In fact, this army is indeed an elite, and it is also the last card that Thain Hastings has been hiding.

The number of troops preparing to attack and kill at night is not very large, probably less than 2000, but nearly 500 of them are the guard group around Thain, and the other 1000 are the best in tingqi's private army. They throw the helve after the hatchet, and in other words, these men are already the real essence of the more than 8000 soldiers in Thain, and Thain dare to throw all these essences into this night attack.

In other words, Thain put all these people into the night attack when he thought he would win.

But in any case, William and others did not seem to find the encirclement of this army, even when and how the nearly 2000 people left the camp in Thain. You know, there are more than two thousand people, not only one or two hundred people -- especially in this half field and half grassland terrain, the trace of a team of dozens of people is easy to be found, let alone one or two thousand people.

But in fact, there was no warning from anyone in William's camp.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, they finally took action again. However, this time, their speed is much slower than the first time, and they have become much more cautious. Even they begin to choose where to fall.

With the advance of these people, the whole encirclement has begun to shrink gradually.

In this way, the originally sparse encirclement naturally began to form and become tight. When it was within hundreds of meters near the rest range of Sean and others, the human body of the whole encirclement naturally could not be hidden. Several officers who seemed to be the leader of the team finally stopped worrying about their own hiding and suddenly pulled out their swords. Suddenly, the clear sound of swords coming out of their scabbards suddenly broke the silence in the area. With an officer waving his sword and falling, the cry of killing suddenly sounded.

A short distance of hundreds of meters is not close. If it is a normal night attack, it is certainly impossible to launch an attack at this distance. However, in this terrain, there is no place for these sneakers to hide their body shape. Unlike the night attack barracks, there will be tents to cover their body shape. Moreover, there are indeed a large number of them this time, so it is better to expose their body shape sooner or later than to use momentum to frighten their opponents.
