Chapter 124: Hands-on
Lu Chun was delighted to see that in the snow nest in front of him, another rabbit was caught in a trap, lying stiff and frozen on the snow. The day before yesterday, he went out to place three traps, but none of them were empty.
Although he didn't catch the deer or any larger livestock he wanted, he did catch three rabbits, which was pretty good.
Lu Chun opened the animal trap, took off the long-dead rabbit, tied it to his waist, put the animal trap away again, and Lu Chun was ready to return.
The boots under my feet were a little worn and leaky. When I stepped out, the warm hay I had just stuffed in them was soaked with water and made a squeaking sound.
The past two years have been really difficult.
The days in the early years were so nourishing. Whenever something happened, he would follow the leaders out to harvest grass and valley, rush to the territory of the Song Dynasty, burn, kill and loot, and then return home with a full load. Lu Chun's current wife was from the time when he was harvesting grass and valley.
Those who were snatched back now have three children.
Although my wife would stare blankly at the south and shed tears when she had free time, she took care of the children and did farm work very neatly.
As a Han Chinese from the Liao Kingdom, Lu Chun had no background and was just an ordinary person, so there would be no shortage of taxes, corvees, etc.
In the past, when we could harvest grass and grain, these things were nothing, but without these benefits, life immediately became stretched. After a year's harvest, paying taxes and other various expenses, it was enough to fill our stomachs.
It's very reluctant. If God changes his face when he becomes unhappy in any year, then he will definitely be hungry that year.
Lu Chun will still serve.
He has to serve in the military for one month every year.
To serve in this kind of military service, you have to bring your own weapons, armor, and horses. Those with connections can find people and go to the city to live comfortably for a month. But people like Lu Chun can only go to such an extremely cold place.
The border troops came up.
The military store now is no better than before.
In the past, it was a fat job. After all, you could rush into the Song Dynasty anytime and anywhere to make a fortune. Now, it's not that you can't go, the key is whether you can come back.
Moreover, people from the Song Dynasty now often come to harass us. There is no longer a question of who is afraid of whom.
After the task of garrisoning the border troops became a very dangerous one, they immediately became unpopular. Of course, they immediately became the prey of people like Lu Chun, and he was the only one.
There is only half a month before he can go home. Lu Chun, who is counting the days on his fingers, has been looking forward to getting dark almost from the moment he opens his eyes.
Pulling three rabbits, Lu Chun squeaked and stepped on the leaky boots on the snow. The snow that fell last night was frozen hard today, and no trace was left behind when people stepped on it.
.
Climb over the dirt beam in front of you and walk two miles further to the military bunk where Lu Chun is stationed. There are a total of twenty people in the military bunk, including fifteen Han Chinese, five Liao people, and one Liao person.
It's the leader of these people.
Even though the leader of the Liao people was shouting and looking great, the fact that he was driven to this place already showed his status. The other Liao people were much better. They all knew that they were honest and honest.
, almost the same as myself.
Everyone gets along pretty well. The only function of this annual stay is to make a few more friends.
Lu Chun suddenly stopped when he was halfway up. In his field of vision, a black smoke column shot straight into the sky.
This is the smoke of war.
He was so frightened that he squatted down, climbed up carefully, climbed to the top of the earth beam, lay down on the snow, and looked at the military patrol bunk in the distance.
The two-story sentry tower and a small courtyard were now shrouded in smoke. The flags of the Song Dynasty were fluttering in the wind, and Lu Chun's hands were suddenly caught in the snow.
There were at least a hundred people.
It's over, it's over, no one in the entire military patrol has escaped?
Lu Chun thought for a moment, took out a small kicker from his body, and kicked hard on the beam. After a while, he dug out a snow nest that could accommodate one person. He gritted his teeth and got in.
, and continued to dig inside, while constantly expanding the shelter, he also slowly sealed the entrance of the cave, leaving only an outlet for breathing.
The Song people came to attack the military camp, and they would definitely not stay long. If I wanted to run away at this time, I wouldn't even have an animal to travel with. Once discovered by the Song people, there would be only one way to die. It would be better to hide here and wait until they leave.
After that, go to the Military Patrol Shop to see if you can find anything else.
Lu Chun closed his eyes and waited quietly.
When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly realized that the sky outside seemed to have darkened. He stretched out his hand to open the hole a little wider. Sure enough, it was getting dark soon.
Is it time for the Song people to leave?
It's just a military patrol station burned down, and it won't last long.
Lu Chun climbed out of the hole he was hiding in, climbed back onto the beam, and looked at the military patrol bunk in the distance. This sight made him open his mouth wide, almost exclaiming, and his eyes widened.
Like a copper bell.
In the direction of the military patrol bunk, the lights were brightly lit.
Countless Song people were as busy as ants.
Obviously, after Lu Chun hid in the cave, many people from the Song Dynasty came and repaired the military patrol bunk.
Of course they have no good intentions to repair Daliao.
There is obviously only one such purpose, they want to occupy this military patrol shop for a long time.
They must want to build this military patrol shop into a fortress.
Lu Chun was well aware of how difficult it was to defeat the fortresses of the Song Dynasty. Not to mention purely military fortresses, but also the kind of villages built by the villagers themselves, it would take a lot of effort to defeat them.
Lu Chun saw in the light a cartload of things being dragged from a distance and then transported into the yard of the military patrol shop. It looked like food.
The Song people are not leaving, are they preparing for a big war with us?
Lu Chun's mind was rumbling, but he slowly slipped under the beam.
You have to run quickly, run back.
Naturally, Tao Dayong didn't know that under his nose, there was a Liao soldier, quietly sneaking away into the distance under the cover of night.
Even if he knew, he didn't really care.
Once a war is launched, it is impossible to hide everything. It is a great thing to be able to hide the enemy for a day or two. How to make the enemy misjudge, or make them unable to judge their own purpose, is the most important thing.
important things.
On Tao Dayong's map, the military patrol shop in front of him was marked as the fifth military patrol shop, and it was also the most critical one. He was very grateful to Xiao Ding for leaving a detailed map for those latecomers in Tianmen Village.
, starting from Tianmen Village and going more than a hundred miles into the Liao territory, all important places are clearly marked on the map left by Xiao Ding.
No one knows the value contained in this map better than Tao Dayong.
If Xiao Ding took this map with him when he left, no one would be able to say anything, because no one knew that he had such a map in his hand. Obviously, this was when he was stationed in Tianmen Village these years.
The results collected bit by bit.
Now, I have made myself easier.
After all, he is our son, he is still very proud, and he also attaches great importance to state affairs.
Tao Dayong was still very convinced of Xiao Ding.
This incident alone is enough to show Xiao Ding's character.
Five armies patrolled the shop, and Tao Dayong took action at the same time, in order to give the Liao army in Guiyi City an illusion, or a fallacy, or preferably a misjudgment. In this way, Tao Dayong would have the opportunity to kill them a second time.
.
The final goal is Guiyi City.
Even though the Liao people were not good at defending the city, Tao Dayong did not want to drive his soldiers to attack the city in such freezing weather. The best thing would be to trick them out and then kill them.
This time the pacifier and the transporter worked really well together!
Tao Dayong thought to himself as he watched the food, military equipment and civilians arriving at the No. 5 Army's patrol shop in a steady stream.
Didn’t it mean that Cui Yasuo and Xia Fuzun were not getting along?
Or maybe it's really a disagreement.
However, Guan'er has done this, and he still has a clear sense of priorities. He will definitely not be angry about real important matters! This time, Fu Zun Xia did not discount the matter that the pacifier did.
, give whatever you want, give whatever you want, not only give in full, but also give in excess.
For ten days at most, the No. 5 Army patrols the shop and it will turn into a pure military fortress, with about a hundred people stationed inside and outside. Although such a fortress may look small, it is really a copper pea that cannot be cooked through or chewed.
If you want to take him down, you will have to spend a lot of effort.
The news that several military patrol stations on the border were continuously attacked by the Song people quickly reached Guiyi City.
Uruben was furious.
The people of Song Dynasty were just kicking his nose and face, stepping on his head to shit and urinate.
Although the superiors have always said that no provocation is allowed, if he still tolerates such things, can Uruben still be a human being? Will anyone in Guiyi City listen to his words?
We must go back for revenge, rush into the Song Dynasty, and teach them a lesson.
There were not many people who escaped from the five military patrol shops, but after lying there for a long time like Lu Chun did, he figured out that the Song people were expanding these military patrol shops wantonly, and at the same time, they were storing a large amount of food and ordnance information.
, but there is no more.
But Lu Chun had no horses, and was still dodging Song sentry and cavalry scouts along the way. He could not get very far in a day. Such important information could not be transmitted back to Uluben's ears for a while.
However, Uluben, who had not received accurate information and had made all assumptions based on common sense, had already led two thousand cavalry out of Guiyi City and headed straight for the border, preparing to return with severe revenge.
