The cavalry leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "These Han people actually sleep with short blunderbuss in their hands. Damn it!"
Another cavalryman also said with lingering fear: "They fired the cannons, will they alert the Ming army's camp?"
The cavalry leader shook his head and said: "No! This place is at least three or four miles away from where they are, and it's still downwind, so the sound can't be transmitted!"
Another cavalryman also relaxed after hearing this, and then became excited again and said: "We are rich! There are two horses and weapons here! It's a pity that these two people stay up all night and don't have iron armor."
The cavalry leader naturally knew that Ye Bushou did not wear iron armor for convenience, so he impatiently wiped the blood on his scimitar on his leather jacket, put the knife into its sheath and said: "Stop talking so much, hurry up and pack your things."
, I have to go back to report the news! I really didn’t expect that four people died after we didn’t clean it up for two nights!”
Another cavalryman also said bitterly: "These bright dogs really deserve to die!"
Just when the two people were about to collect the spoils, a flash of fire suddenly flashed at the foot of the small mound! The fire flew straight from the ground to the sky, and then made a loud "bang" sound, and a red-white flame burst out in the sky! In the light of the fire
Against the background of the scene, the two people who were already stunned saw a man under the mound, riding a horse and running towards the rear!
Then the two of them said almost in unison: "Oh no! There is also a secret whistle!"
It turns out that the sentry posts arranged by Ye Bushou are in groups of three, two light and one dark! The bright sentinel attracts attention on the mound, while the other person hides behind the side of the mound. Once there is any disturbance on the mound,
, he will get the news right away!
At this time, a cavalryman asked eagerly: "What should we do? Should we pursue him?"
The cavalry leader said angrily: "What are you chasing? Didn't you see that he used fireworks signals? They can be seen more than ten miles away. The Ming army must be prepared now! Besides, ride fast at night
Ma, do you want to die?"
The grassland looks very flat and endless. But in fact it is not as flat as it looks. There are often small ditches and ridges on the ground. There are even more otter holes, mouse holes and other things. At night
If you are riding at high speed, if you step into a ditch or fall off your horse over a stone, you will definitely be killed or injured! Therefore, even the prairie people are not willing to ride horses at night, and they can only trot at most.
While the two people were still discussing, Hutch was already yelling! "You are such an idiot who is worse than a mouse. How can you let someone set off fireworks signals! Don't wait any longer, rush over!"
The cavalry behind him immediately started up slowly and began to accelerate gradually, rushing forward directly. As a result, just as he started to move, two fireworks rose up one after another about seven or eight miles away on the left and right, and it seemed that the other two
The team was also discovered!
And Hutch guessed that the two soldiers and horses might not have even touched the sentry. Because he was the first to expose the fireworks signal, it would definitely alert other sentries. But at this time, he could no longer care about anything else, and he had to use the fastest speed.
Rushing into the Ming army's camp at a very fast speed.
However, Hutch is very confident about this. For the cavalry, the journey of three or four miles is just a blink of an eye. According to his understanding of the Ming army, when he rushes to the opponent's camp, those Ming soldiers may
The sentry was still busy putting on his trousers, it was a mess!
Liu Haojia was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside! He sat up from the bed with excitement, grabbed his pants and put them on his legs. His outstretched feet were already inserted into the leather boots, and he twisted them twice.
Put it on your feet!
Then he stood up and tightened his belt. He had already put on his trousers and stomped on his leather boots. However, he got up in a hurry and didn't put on socks, but it didn't hinder normal running and fighting!
At this moment, the camp opened and four absolutes rushed in. Liu Haojia asked loudly: "What's going on?"
The servant running in front shouted loudly: "There are fireworks signals from the north, the enemy is attacking!"
As he spoke, he had already unfolded Liu Haojia's shirt. Liu Haojia stretched out his hand to put on his shirt and began to button it. The servant helped him tie his belt, and then another family member came up and put on his breastplate. The two families tied the breastplate tightly behind his back.
By the time he arrived, the other one had already put on his helmet for him, and the last one had handed over his sword. Liu Haojia took out the sword directly, threw the scabbard on the ground and stepped out of the tent.
At this time, sharp whistles were heard one after another in the camp, and all the tents were shaking. It seemed that the soldiers were already dressing and getting equipment in the tents. At this moment, there were rapid footsteps, and the servants hurriedly drew their swords and came out.
The scabbard guard Liu Haojia. A disturbance at night is a good opportunity to assassinate the general, so be on guard.
As a result, through the residual light from the fire in front of the tent, I could see that Guo Zhankui, who was on duty at night, had arrived. Liu Haojia saw the person coming and said loudly: "Besides the warning fireworks signal, is there anything else?"
Guo Zhankui replied: "No, everything was fine on the way here!"
Liu Haojia thought for a moment and said loudly: "The enemy is four or five miles away! Go and ask the cavalry to take the horses out immediately and avoid them to the south."
The reason why Liu Haojia sent the cavalry out of the camp to avoid this night battle was because the cavalry was really useless in the night battle. Moreover, the war horses were easily frightened and ran around when they encountered fighting in the camp. If the camp was disturbed, they would easily come out.
question.
After arranging Guo Zhankui's departure, he continued: "Light all the fires in the camp. Leave the fires outside the camp until you hear the enemy arrives!"
Immediately, a servant ran over and arranged for the person on duty to light the fire. The fire in the camp was better because there was a lot of firewood prepared in the camp. All you had to do was throw the firewood into the fire that was not completely extinguished and pour a spoonful of oil on it.
The fire will start burning immediately.
With the rapid movements of the soldiers on duty, the fires lit up one after another, and the entire camp began to become brighter. At this time, soldiers from the tents had already finished dressing and rushed out, and began to assemble in teams in the open space.
Seeing this, Liu Haojia felt half at peace, and turned around and boarded the watchtower next to the tent. This watchtower was specially prepared for the coach, so that he could quickly see the entire situation in the camp and make decisions.
By the time he climbed up to the watchtower, the entire camp was already as bright as day, and all the situation was in his eyes. The soldiers who had gathered first were being arranged by Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui to run towards the camp wall. The defense line there was very tight.
