Xu Laowu squatted down. The wall of the watchtower was half a person's height, just enough for him to expose half of his head. Presumably, the officer could not see clearly.
The officer seemed to pat the young man on the shoulder. Well, he shouldn't be an officer from his own team. Xu Laowu thought that the officers in his camp would just whip him in such situations. How could they be so polite as to pat him on the shoulder? He just didn't know what the other officer came for.
Why did the young man fall down?
Why did the officer gently hold the young man and drag him to the side?
If he still doesn't know what happened, then Xu Laowu has served as a soldier for so many years in vain.
clang clang clang clang
Xu Laowu started to beat the gong with all his might.
As long as the watchtowers nearby hear it, they will also knock together, so the comrades in the hiding cave will be able to hear it even if they are fast asleep. Then everyone will rush forward and these Khmer dogs who attacked in the middle of the night will be in trouble. It's a pity for the young man. I haven't asked his name yet, and I don't know who his father is, or whether he has other sons.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, sneak attack..." Xu Laowu shouted while banging the gong. Why were there no movements from the watchtowers on either side? Why were there no movements from the brothers in the hidden soldier cave?
Until now, Xu Laowu finally understood what was wrong tonight.
The patrol team that appears every half an hour seems to have not been seen for a long time.
The night patrol officer who appeared once an hour seemed to have not appeared for a long time.
The brother who came to the watchtower to get oil and firewood to add fuel to the fire once an hour and a half did not come.
What on earth did these damn Khmer dogs do?
I don’t know if the camp behind me can hear the sound of my gong.
Maybe I can shoot him with a bow and arrow now? Xu Laowu still has some confidence in his archery skills. At this distance, he should be able to avenge the young man.
No, he couldn't use a bow and arrow. The other party must have discovered him. He didn't have much time to beat the gong, so he had to spread the news first. Then someone would avenge the young man.
"Why, there's still a sentinel? Didn't they say all the sentinels were dealt with?"
"There's no other way. This 100-man team was transferred from the central battlefield. They're not our general's own troops. If we rashly ask them to cancel their night watch, it will arouse suspicion."
"He's a veteran of the Central Battlefield. No wonder he's so alert. In the past, he would have discovered me long ago."
"Hahahahaha, Master Xinyue, you're joking. It's just a soldier. It can't cause any harm. If you don't like it, just send someone to deal with it."
"It doesn't matter. Whether the gong sound can reach the main camp or not is not important, as long as your General Tang really opens the camp gate."
"Don't worry, sir. My general always keeps his word. But as you said, the gong sounds are useless. After all, who could have known that my general had already taken the main force of the army away, leaving only tens of thousands of civilians in the camp?"
"Hahahahahaha, forget it. Come on, pass the order and attack the camp!"
"The one beating the gong..."
"He's a dedicated man. Keep him. Just treat him as a drummer and accompaniment for my army. Whether he survives depends on his luck."
Xu Laowu was almost having tinnitus from the sound of his own gong, but he could still distinguish that it was still only the sound of his own gong in the dark night.
The watchtowers on both sides...the comrades in the hiding cave...it seems like there is a traitor, otherwise how could they sneak in here silently?
No, I must find a way to get the message back.
I heard during the day that General Tang was going to reorganize the civilians and came to the camp today. As long as he knew that the Khmers had come in, he would definitely have a way.
Yes, General Tang, I must pass the message to General Tang. So many brothers died before we blocked the Khmers in Chongzuo. We must not let them pass.
In the dark night, Xu Laowu's red eyes were unusually dazzling.
Yes, I was captured and forced to serve as a soldier, but soldiers are fed, and the higher-ups haven't shortchanged me, Xu Laowu, of my money and food. I served my country as a soldier, and the current state of the Great Chen Dynasty is all caused by you damned thieves.
Now it is my turn to serve the Great Chen Dynasty, just like, yes, just like the young man and his father.
When the gong sound subsided, Xinyue suddenly seemed to have some feeling. He looked back from afar and saw a figure standing on the watchtower with a little fire light, which was probably a tinderbox.
Suddenly, the entire top of the watchtower turned into a huge torch.
Xin Yuetu looked at the figure jumping and waving in the firelight, and seemed to hear the crackling sound of the burning flames and smell the smell of burning human flesh.
"Hey, he's still a hot-tempered guy. Fortunately, he can't do anything bad, otherwise if he died, his family members would not be able to escape." said the liaison officer on the side.
Xin Yuetu watched as the figure in the firelight gradually merged with the flames and the watchtower into one whole. The huge firelight illuminated a distance of a hundred steps, and even lengthened the shadow of Xin Yuetu, who was hiding in the darkness.
This sentry finally used his own method to expose the sneak attacking enemy in the darkness.
He worked so hard, I'm sure the main camp could see him. What a pity.
Xinyue suddenly turned around and, ignoring the liaison officer beside him, ordered, "Have the front line work harder and capture the main camp before daybreak!"
