One hundred and eighty-five Qishan Camp
Wei Duoyou was so nervous. The main army of the Zhou Dynasty was divided into the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division of Chengzhou. The latter was stationed near Luoyi, a political center outside the east of Hangu Kanto, and the Xiliu Division guarded the King Capital of Haojing and the Guanzhong Plain. The Western Sixth Division had two camps, Qishan and Fenghao. The Fenghao Camp was mainly used to protect the King Capital. The Qishan Camp concentrated all elite troops and was the main defensive force of the Western Zhou Dynasty to resist the King and the Western Rong tribes. If the Qishan Camp was in trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Wei Duoyou was anxious and rushed to Qishan with a quick horse. Uncle Mi asked him to bring more than a dozen followers, but he only brought half of them, but he brought more than a dozen horses, which were specially used to change horses in the middle. The group ran day and night.
After walking and staying overnight at dawn, I finally saw the images of the Qishan Mountains from afar when the morning light first appeared. Suddenly, dust flew on the official road, and a group of people rushed towards me. These people didn't seem to be in a hurry, and they were talking loudly while walking, listening to their accents and makeup, all of which were the styles of the Qin people.
Wei Duoyou's heart moved, and he rushed forward and bowed his hand and asked, "May I ask, did you send a horse to send out the horses from the Quinlin Horse Farm?"
The leader was a man in his forties, with his blistered eyes always squinted, and he looked like he couldn't wake up. Seeing Wei Duoyou, he strangled his horse's head and said in confusion: "I'm Luo Zhong, who is here from the Qinglin Horse Farm. Who is the master?"
Wei Duoyou briefly described his identity and purpose and what happened at Qingbei Pass and the Qinglin Race Farm. The more Luo Zhong heard it, the more frightened he felt. The pair of blistered eyes that could not open could even be wide open. After a while, he replied: "Is this matter serious? What do the young general want us to do?"
"May I ask you, where were you sent after the three hundred horses were delivered?" Wei Duoyou sorted out his thoughts and asked word by word.
Luo Zhong tried hard to recall: "There are two large stables in the north and south of Qishan Camp, and the three hundred horses were led into the southern stable."
"Are you sure that everyone has entered the south stable?" Wei Duoyou was very worried. If everyone has entered one stable, it would be a blessing that at least the other stable would not be affected.
Luo Zhong nodded with great certainty: "Yes, everyone has entered the south stable."
Wei Duoyou took a step forward, looked straight into his eyes, and asked, "How many soldiers are guarding the horses? Where is the Nanfan? Are you familiar with it?"
"The south stable is on the side near the Nanyuan Gate. There are not many sergeants guarding, only more than twenty, and there are more than ten grooms inside, with a total of three thousand horses. The new horses are surrounded by the two stables near the camp wall according to the rules."
"Okay, you are leading the way in front and take me to Nanjian, and you're going now!"
Luo Zhong was a little confused and asked blankly: "General Wei, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill all three hundred horses!"
"Ah! Kill them all-------" Luo Zhong screamed in horror. After a while, he realized that his voice was too loud. He swallowed his spit with difficulty and whispered: "This------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wei Duoyou looked into the distance blankly and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will never burden you. If there is any crime, I will take it alone-----If you don't kill these horses and let them infected all the war horses in the north and south stables, my Western Sixth Division will lose more than half of its combat power. The lord will take advantage of the situation and don't have time to think about it, do it!"
Luo Zhong and his group and the six followers were all infected by his heroism and agreed, "No!"
Not far from the gate, Wei Duoyou found a small wood, looked at all the horses, left a follower to look at it, and instructed: "If I can't come back at sunset, go to Haojing News and Zhao Zimu to know."
Wei Duoyou led the rest of the people to the back wall outside the gate of Qishan Camp. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the war horses are so precious, the stable is also a major area of the barracks. The walls of the south stable are three or four people high, and wooden spikes are densely packed on the top of the wall. A follower looked at the wall and sighed: "General, we can't get up here, why don't we break in through the gate!"
Wei Duoyou knocked on the wall with his fingers and said, "This wall is made of loess, glutinous rice juice, and gravel. It is still solid, but unfortunately it is not as good as a stone."
He took two steps back, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, pulled the bow and shot it towards the wall. With a "bang", the wall of the stable was only broken and the arrow was not shot in. The followers were depressed when they looked at it, but Wei Duoyou was not discouraged. He took out the copper crossbow sent by the King of the Wild and shot another crossbow arrow. This time, a half-fingered earth nest appeared on the wall. Wei Duoyou took the arrow, aimed, and shot the arrow into the earth nest. This time, the arrow was nailed into the wall more than two inches deep. He did the same thing, and in a moment, six arrows were shot into the wall from top to bottom.
Luo Zhong clapped his hands with a smile: "Good arrow method! Use arrows to build a ladder on the wall. This method is really wonderful!"
Wei Duoyou put away the crossbow and said, "It's noon now. The soldiers on the horse are about to be having a meal. Let's do it now. I'll go first, and when I'm done inside, I'll throw a stone outward, and you guys come in again."
After saying that, he stepped on the arrow shaft and climbed up the stairs. The highest arrow shot was less than five feet away from the wall. Wei Duoyou stepped on him and saw clearly the situation inside the stable.
The stable is very wide, about a hundred feet long from east, west, south and north to north. It looks like there are at least ten relatively independent horse sheds. The horse shed against the wall is about ten feet long, with more than thirty mangers around it forming a "mouth" character, and there are fifty or sixty horses in it. There is another square shape surrounded by a manger inside, which is slightly smaller than the outside, but it also accommodates hundreds of horses.
A soldier turned his back to Wei Duoyou, adding fodder into the manger while talking: "Bastard, I said he was eating. When is it time? I'm not back yet? I'll leave me alone to work-----"
Wei Duoyou pulled out a few sharp thorns on the wall, supported them with his hands, and jumped down. The soldier heard something behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he was knocked out of touch with a palm.
Wei Duoyou threw a stone outside the wall, found another rope, tied the soldier up, and blocked his mouth with cloth. After waiting for a while, Luo Zhong and others jumped off the wall one by one. He looked around and asked, "General, how can you do this?"
"Those defenders will come back in half an hour for dinner. How many horses can each of you kill in such a short time?" Wei Duoyou pointed at the soldier and asked.
"At most eleven or two horses!"
"Okay, I'll watch outside the door, you guys should do it!" Wei Duoyou blocked the door and kept the wind on their behalf.
Nan Jian was roaring, but Wei Duoyou's heart was clear, as if he was asleep. The sun shone directly on his body, and he suddenly felt a little hot. Sweat beads oozing out of his forehead and nose, but he refused to wipe it.
