Chapter 74 Sneak Attack

It was three o'clock in the morning, and the Miao people lurking outside were waiting anxiously when they suddenly saw a ball of fire rising from the north center of the camp. Then they heard whistles and gongs and drums. The silent camp suddenly became like a pot of boiling water, with noisy voices and the neighing of war horses. The Miao people on the periphery knew that the time had come, and immediately took out the oil bottles they had prepared, rushed towards the enemy camp in the chaos, and set fire to the periphery. These people set fire to the nearby trees. The night wind was blowing gently, and although it was not very strong, one tenth of the sparks would be deadly enough. The officers and soldiers had no idea that a fire would break out suddenly, and where could they find so much water to put out the fire? They could only wave tools such as brooms to put out the fire. Ajin and his men were very skilled in kung fu, and they were still able to withstand the siege of hundreds of people. When the fire started on the periphery, the officers and soldiers thought that another strong enemy was coming, and hurriedly allocated some troops.

At this time, the generals in charge of the troops were really anxious. The two burning tents were used to store food, and the food and wages of thousands of people were all here. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, several men in black kept obstructing them from putting out the fire, which showed that these people's night attack was premeditated. Seeing that the food could not be saved, the general in charge of the troops got red eyes. He ordered everyone to retreat and ordered the archers to take their positions, ready to shoot these assassins into hedgehogs. However, he saw that the men in black were very smart. Before the archers could get ready, they had already jumped up. After a few jumps, they had floated far away. "Shoot, shoot..." the general shouted at the top of his lungs, accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air. Ajin and others had left them far behind. When they rushed out of the camp gate, they killed several riders and loaded all the Miao people on the periphery onto the horses. If there were not enough horses, they would ride two people on one horse. In the night, the group hurried back along the way they came.

It was just that it was easy for them to come but difficult to go back. The pursuers behind them would never let them go. However, they were running in front and it was very convenient for them to shoot arrows backwards, while it was difficult for the government troops to hit them. They ran and shot arrows at the same time. Under rounds of arrows, batches of government troops fell off their horses. However, they were outnumbered and were gradually caught up. Ah Jin counted the few remaining arrows and rode his horse backwards to look for his target. Yes, it was the general in battle robe among the pursuers. He must be the leader without a doubt. As long as he was dealt with, the group of What fighting power did Long Wushou have left? Ajin meowed for a long time and then pulled the bow steadily. With a hum, a strong force sent the arrow out steadily. The arrow was incredibly fast. Although the general had been in battle for a long time, he was still frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was experienced in battle. He leaned over hurriedly and heard a "puff". The arrow hit his left shoulder and went through his armor. A great force pushed him backwards and he fell off his horse. The pursuers were immediately thrown into disarray. The speed of pursuit slowed down, and Ajin and others were able to escape back at full speed.

Just as Ajin expected, a well-armed army of 5,000 people could not survive a day without food and pay. In addition, the general leading the army was injured. The army had no time to wait for the next batch of grain transport teams. They had to buy food from nearby villages and towns while hurriedly returning to the way they came. Ajin and others were more worried than happy about the successful sneak attack. Judging from this team, it should be the elite of the court. Although there are only a few thousand people, it can be seen that the court mobilized troops very quickly. The Yunnan-Guizhou front has stepped up its garrison. It just caught the court off guard before. In the future, these 20,000 people with their families will face many difficulties in attacking the city and seizing the village.

A Jin looked at the map and fell into deep thought. The Miao King and the others were at a loss. The Ming army had retreated, but everyone knew that they would definitely come back. Now they had to leave this small town immediately, but where should they go? "Here." A Jin pointed at a place, and the Miao King stared suspiciously and said, "This is...Myanmar."

Ah Jin nodded and said, "Yes, now that we have entered Yunnan, the imperial court will certainly send several armies to encircle us. The border with Myanmar is the territory of various chieftains. They are only nominally controlled by the imperial court, but in reality they are a country of their own. We will pass through the border between Mubang and Mengmi, which was Myanmar in the past. Now Myanmar is in chaos and can't take care of itself, so we can go there to recuperate. After more than a month, we will return to Yunnan to reunite with our people."

Ajin has been commanding with great confidence in recent days. His plans are always ingenious and he always wins unexpectedly. The Miao people have long been convinced of him, so no one objects to where he points.

After the discussion, the 20,000 men and women set out hastily the next day after a brief rest. This time they rode non-stop. Before the court had finished dispatching the troops, they heard that the Miao people were heading south. They quickly ordered defenses to be deployed along the way, but they did not want the Miao people to run too fast. Every time they arrived at a city, they only stayed for a day or two before setting off again. Along the way, they only looted money and food supplies, but did not commit any evil deeds such as burning, killing, and raping. This was more like fleeing than a war. However, after more than a month, the Miao people had crossed Yunnan and then dived into the jungle on the border between Yunnan and Myanmar. Officials from several provinces disappeared as if in a dream.
