Chapter 852 Battle of Linfeng Mountain II
Somewhere near the back mountain, there were five or six men crowding beside a fire to keep warm.
This place belongs to the Later Army, and is also a place to hoard food and supplies, not a combat force.
So these soldiers were old men, and some even had white beards.
"Come on, hurry up, let's take a bite first!"
An old man stared at the fire with his eyes shining, and a pot of wine was hot there. The old man kept simmering in his palms and rubbing his hands. It was really cold this winter.
It was not easy to get this pot of wine. It was bought from the junta officer by the junta officer that they had finally collected.
In normal times, they can only watch the officials drink and then drool.
But this pot of wine is twice as expensive as the market price. It is obvious that the quarantine officer lion spoke loudly, and he hated these veterans for being itchy.
But there is no way. In this cold weather, no one wants to drink a sip of hot spirits to protect the cold. If you are greedy, you have to buy it even if you are greedy.
"Wait a little longer! I just put it in, it's not hot yet, you can hurry up!"
Another person cursed and opened his hand that reached the edge of the wine pot, but the man swallowed unconsciously.
Several people formed a circle, their eyes staring straight at the wine pot, and they swallowed from time to time.
The clothes on their bodies were a little torn, and the cold wind kept seeping into the gaps. They needed to manually pull the corners of their clothes to keep the heat as much as possible.
The winter clothes sent to them are just these things. Not to mention war, they can freeze to death.
"Gulu~Gulu~Gulu~Gulu~"
The water finally opened, and a faint smell of wine floated out of the wine pot. What they could afford was naturally not a good wine, but just the most ordinary wine.
But even this lowest-priced rice wine still showed a look of satisfaction on everyone's face.
"Come on! Let's divide it!" A wide-faced man waved the wine bowl in his hand, and his saliva was almost flowing out.
Five or six people took out their own affairs at the same time, waiting for a satisfying taste.
Oh, it’s not a satisfying treat, it can only be considered a little satisfying.
The oldest elder carefully poured the wine into everyone's bowl. It was fair, everyone had the same amount.
The sound of Tiluo's drinks was the happiest sound they heard in this cold.
"Um~ Guru~"
A wide-faced old man took a sip with intoxication on his face, but as soon as he swallowed the wine, his face changed. He cursed angrily: "Damn it! I've been mixed with water!"
"It's really! The bastard is really too dark. It's so expensive and it's mixed with water!"
"These dog officials! They are all greedy and fat and big-eared! They even cheated on the money we had finally saved!"
Obviously, these elderly veterans were so angry that they were itchy. The ones they bought at a high price were wine mixed with water.
"Oh~ Forget it!" the veteran sighed: "What, can we still make sense to them with our identity? Just drink it.
Be careful that the dog official will turn the tables and say that we will steal military funds and that we will not even be able to protect our heads."
The few of them looked at each other unwillingly, and finally they could only pinch their noses and swallow this breath.
"Drink it~" the old man waved.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
"Ah! Someone! Who!"
"Bang!"
"There's a fire! Put it off!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack~"
...
Before these people could finish drinking the wine in the bowl, bursts of explosions sounded outside the tent, and then it became crowded with people shouting, which was extremely chaotic.
The few people looked at each other with shock on their faces, then panickedly picked up the weapons in the tent and walked out.
As soon as they ran out of the camp, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The fires were burning in the granary. One after another, the soldiers in the military tent ran out in a panic. The wine they salivated on their usual days.
It also burst with the flames.
There are also many figures devoured by the sea of fire, wailing in pain, and the entire military camp is like a purgatory on earth.
"Gurl~"
I don’t know who swallowed subconsciously, and the hands of several old soldiers holding weapons began to tremble continuously.
They didn't know how many enemy troops came, where the enemy was, and no one came to organize them to resist.
Only the hoarse howling sound kept floating.
They only know that death is right before their eyes.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
I don't know where a few sharp arrows were shot, which penetrated the chests of the two veterans, and blood splattered the face of the comrade beside him.
"What are you doing when you stand there! Run!"
"Run!"
These veterans flocked to fleeing and scattered everywhere, and they could not help but put out the fire and fight.
When they were forced to enlist in the army, they were not ready for war. The officials told them that they just need to escort food and grass.
And now, the people who believed these words have fallen to the ground and turned into cold corpses, and they are also wandering around the edge of the gates of hell.
...
"call out!"
"Swish!Swish!"
While fire was rising everywhere on Linfeng Mountain, several arrows with the sound of breaking through the air rushed straight into the sky, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Countless rockets shot towards the hills from all directions, like a sea of fire descending, accompanied by waves of shouts of killing.
The yellow-shirted soldiers who had already reached the foot of the mountain as much as possible rushed out of the darkness and rushed up the mountain like crazy.
There were also many cavalrymen holding tinder tanks and other fire-assisted objects, attacking along the not-so-steep hillside. In a short while, several village gates were conquered.
These officials stationed on the mountain still couldn't figure out what was going on until now.
How many enemy soldiers had entered the barracks? In which direction did the Yellow-Shirt Army attack the mountain?
The leaders and generals of the battalions who did not receive any instructions for a while could only fight on their own and rushed around with the soldiers who had barely gathered together.
At this time, Yuwen Chenghua's central army camp was also in chaos, and several generals who rushed over were constantly reporting on the situation on the mountain.
"Sir! The front camp has been captured, General Wang is leading people to fight against the rebels!"
"Sir, the enemy came from the back mountain. Most of the granary was burned down. It's not yet certain how many people they came."
"Sir, both the east and west wings have also been subjected to fierce attacks by the rebels, and the soldiers are struggling to resist!"
...
Yuwen Chenghua was wearing an official robe and was in a hurry in the commander's tent. The central army camp was not far from the back mountain. He was awakened when the first explosion sounded.
He had just fallen asleep for a while, and was still a little sleepy at this moment.
The Minister of War had a little panic in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of the scene of being attacked by the Blood-Devouring Guard many years ago. That time, he had already stepped into the gate of hell with half his foot.
If the Liangzhou army under Chen Yue had not arrived, he, the Minister of War, would have been taken to sacrifice to the flag by King Fu and his son.
