Chapter 39 The rear

At this time, Yang Zhen had come back to his senses. He saw that several people around him were looking at him, waiting for his orders to decide the next step. He calmed down a little and whispered:

"I guess this Tatar camp may not be the camp of the Tatar God-Blessed Soldiers or the God-Blessed Soldiers. On the contrary, it may be the camp of the Tatar elite armored men!"

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, he heard Yan San, Zhang Chen, Yang Zhan'ao and others all say "ah" in low voices. It seemed that Yang Zhen's words really shocked them.

"Sir! The elite armored Tatars are much more powerful than the two Tatars! These are serious Tatars! Are we still going forward?! If we disturb the elite Tatars, we-"

Yang Zhan'ao was about to continue talking when he saw Yang Zhen gritting his teeth and staring at him. Under the moonlight, his face was ferocious and his eyes were evil. He quickly changed his words and said:

"Sir! That's not what I meant! What I mean is that if we were to alert the enemy, it would be even more difficult for our advance battalion to make a difference and to come up with unexpected achievements! Besides, you are the leader of the advance battalion and will not disturb the enemy.

If we defeat the Tatars, it’s okay for me to fight to my death, but nothing can happen to you!”

Yang Zhan'ao was still waiting to say anything more, but when he saw Yang Zhen's face softening, he waved to him and quickly shut up.

At this time, I only heard Yang Zhen say: "There are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead. When we get here, there is no reason to return without success! Although I have figured out some things, but to be sure, I have to go and see for myself!"

"And I suspect that there may not be the main elite Tatar force in this Tatar camp, but the rear camp of the Tatar armored elite! If my judgment is accurate, at this time, there should be people inside who are helping to take care of the camp affairs.

Those who take care of property and transport food and grass, Aha!"

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, these people were all a little enlightened and a little vague about understanding. Yang Zhen was not sure, so he didn't explain much.

At this time, I only heard Zhang Chen whisper: "What you are saying is that the Tatar elites are all outside Songshan City, and the people left in this back camp are all the coated Aha who will take care of the chores for them?!"

Yang Zhen didn't speak, just nodded.

He knew that Zhang Chen, a former garrison officer with a background in the Yizhou frontier army, knew the trick.

Seeing Yang Zhen nodding, Zhang Chen continued: "If this is true, it is really a God-given opportunity! We can take advantage of the fact that the main Tatar elite forces are all outside Songshan City, or that they are all on the south bank of the Xiaoling River.

The method is to destroy their rear camp! Burn their granaries and destroy their luggage! The siege of Songshan and even Jinzhou may be solved immediately!"

This time, Yan San and Yang Zhan'ao understood a little bit. They both opened their eyes wide and looked at Yang Zhen, waiting for Yang Zhen to speak.

"If - I mean if - my judgment is not wrong, then what you said is what I am thinking now. The next thing we have to consider is how to destroy the Tatar back camp!"

Yang Zhen knew that Zhang Chen understood what he meant, and looked at him and continued: "The top priority now is to determine whether my judgment is correct as soon as possible! With so many people, it is impossible for us to stay on the sandbank at Sailor Camp for a long time!

Once discovered by the Tatars, we will lose this opportunity! This opportunity is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After saying these words, Yang Zhen turned to look at Yan San, pointed to the open tidal flat area to the west of the reed marsh, and asked him in a low voice: "How can you get to the front through the grassy shoal in front this morning?"

"No! This morning, the sky is clear and clear. There are no reeds, no trees, and no cover here. Little ones dare not walk from here!"

At this point, Yan San pointed south, and then whispered: "After the kids arrived here, they all knew that they couldn't get through, so they turned to the south, along the north side of the river, all the way to the west! When they got to the woods in front,

At the intersection of the tidal flat and the river in front, not only was there no shelter, but the water was cold and deep. The little ones lurked for a long time. They had no chance and couldn't get through, so they turned back! It was while lurking there that they met the team fetching water.

The two Tartars, no, it’s Aha!”

After listening to Yan San's words, Yang Zhen lowered his head and remained silent again, and was thinking about a solution. At this time, Zhang Chen said: "Sir! We can't walk over the river. Not only is the weather cold, the water is cold, but we are wearing too much, so we really have to swim across it.

, you don’t have to do anything anymore!”

After saying this, Zhang Chen saw Yang Zhen looking at him, then pointed to the sky and said: "Although the moon also has light, the light is not bright! Even if there is a patrol sentry from the Tatar camp in the woods opposite, we

As long as you take advantage of every opportunity when the clouds cover the moon, you can climb over, but it will take some effort! Besides, the grassy beach is not all filled with water! The high tide has not reached here!"

Hearing this, Yang Zhen knew that he could not delay any longer and said decisively: "Okay! Just crawl over the grassy beach in front!"

After saying this, Yang Zhen said to Zhang Chen: "You will take the lead this time, are you confident?"

Yang Zhen knew that Zhang Chen was once a member of the Yizhou frontier army. This was definitely not the first time he encountered such a dangerous situation, so he felt more at ease by letting him take the lead.

Zhang Chen looked at Yang Zhen, nodded firmly, and without saying a word, he put the bow and arrow on his back again on the spot, then turned around, squatted down, looked forward, picked up the thickest part of the hay, and crawled over.

Yang Zhen was afraid that too many people would cause problems, so he turned around and ordered Yang Zhan'ao and two other soldiers, saying: "You and the two of them will stay here with the crossbow in your hand and the arrow on the string. Wait for my order and respond at any time! If there is no need,

My order is that you are not allowed to leave your post without permission, let alone take action without permission! Even if there are Tatars on the other side who discover our whereabouts, we are not allowed to take action without permission!"

Yang Zhan'ao and the two soldiers agreed quickly, and then watched Yang Zhen turn around, bend down, follow Yan San, and crawl forward.

When Yang Zhen was in later generations, of course he had military training, and he also practiced crawling on the football field in college.

It's just that the grassy beach in front of me is definitely not the football field in college. Although the football field in college is fake turf, it is still very flat. When you put your elbows and knees on the ground and exert force, it is uncomfortable, but it is better than the grass in front of you.

The beach is much better.

There are potholes everywhere, some of which are made of sharp gravel, and some of which are filled with cold water bubbles.

However, no matter what situation he encountered, he could do nothing but endure the pain silently or crawl through it despite the cold.

Even if the sharp hay hit his eye, he would only dare to close that eye, endure the pain, shed tears, and continue to crawl forward.

The most important thing is that you can't climb forward without hesitation. Once you climb onto the tidal flat with grass above and swamp below, you will be in big trouble.

He could only crawl forward slowly with Yan San, while Yan San followed Zhang Chen quietly and firmly.

The most difficult thing was for Zhang Chen. He had to judge whether the front was hard grassland or whether there was grass on the surface and a swampy puddle below. If he made a mistake in judgment, not only would he fail to complete the task, but his life might be in danger.

At the same time, he had to observe the changes in the moonlight, and only crawled forward like a gecko when the floating clouds temporarily blocked the moonlight.

And when the moonlight shone on the grassy beach, he immediately lay there motionless, like a piece of wood rotting in the swamp.

Everything that could reflect the light had been taken off long ago, including helmets, armor with iron plates, and even the worn-out Yan Ling knife on his waist, which was deliberately wrapped in clothes.

In this way, from the edge of the reed marsh to the edge of the black forest, there was only a tidal flat of more than two hundred steps wide, which took him almost an hour.

It later proved that there was no hidden sentry arranged by the Tatars in that dark forest, but Yang Zhen still felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Perhaps the Tatars besieged Jinzhou and Songshan with heavy troops, and they never expected that the Ming army would come to Songshan by sea to relieve the siege. Therefore, there were neither fixed watchtowers or sentry posts nor night patrols behind their rear camp.

After Yang Zhen followed Yan San and slowly climbed across the grassy beach, and then slowly climbed over a slope covered with gravel and bushes, he could already see the lights of the Tatar camp not far ahead through the dark woods.

Already.

"Sir! The Tatars don't seem to have arranged sentries in this forest! This is definitely our opportunity! In the future, if we ambush here and break the camp after dark, it will be a great achievement that will be heard by the heavens, and it will be a disaster.
