After crossing the mountain, five hundred people were hiding in the deserted small village... To be precise, they were hiding in the forest opposite the small village. The militiamen of Wagang Village were very skilled in finding places where they could both hide and rest in the forest.
, then fell down and fell asleep.
Meng Lianggon sent dozens of people to quietly chop bamboo in the bamboo forest behind the village. He had to make torches, three for each person... thinking about it, it would be quite spectacular to light five or six hundred torches on the mountain late at night.
.
Making a torch from a bamboo tube is actually very simple. Pour some fire water into the bamboo tube, then tear off a piece of cloth from your clothes and stuff it into the mouth of the bamboo tube. It is not troublesome to carry it, just put it on your back.
Once tied up, you can climb the mountain.
When it got dark, Meng Lianggon led his border troops and Shi Hualong led his militiamen and started climbing the mountain.
…
The night is very quiet. If anyone pays attention, it is really very quiet tonight. Not only the night birds on the mountain have stopped chirping, but even the chirping summer insects have stopped chirping. The world seems to have stopped, and even...
Even the slight night breeze stopped.
On a night in mid-May, the stars and moon are bright, the mountains are shadowed, and Cangshan Mountain under the moon is like a fairy scene.
However, the fairy scene at this time was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and even the summer insects hid in their holes and trembled.
In a relatively open place a few miles outside Raofeng Pass, thousands of frontier troops from Jingzhao Prefecture have been stationed here for more than ten days. The soldiers have no idea what Shangguan means. They should not be more clear-cut about whether to advance or retreat.
? Living here is not only extremely inconvenient, but also very dangerous.
Many middle-level officers and generals who led the army asked when the barrier would be broken or when they would retreat. But the answer they received was that it was not the time yet. They still had to attack the barrier on time every day, strengthen patrols, and order people to return.
Hu Jing transported a large amount of materials to provide food for the soldiers...
Abuhanji is a mouker who went south to invade the Song Pioneer Camp. The so-called mouker is the old Donghu system. Abuhanji is a Hu person, so he likes to use the old system. The so-called mouker is actually a part of the Songjun system.
A general... a general, who can lead from one hundred to five hundred troops, is actually a battalion commander according to the militia system of Wagangzhai.
Abuhan chicken has a Chinese name, called Tianji.
Tian Ji is a delicate and sensitive person. Like many women, he likes to judge things intuitively. Not only is he familiar with Han military books, but he also practices Han martial arts. In no time, he learned the skills of the famous military generals of the Yang family.
As for his marksmanship, and his boxing and kicking skills, he learned the Liuhe Sect's Black Tiger Boxing. He had read almost all the Han military books. He was ambitious and hoped to one day become the commander-in-chief of the capital, the general manager of the capital, a marshal, or a generalissimo.
This time he received an order to go south to invade the Song Dynasty. He thought that the opportunity had come, so he strongly requested that his three hundred soldiers join the vanguard camp. If he wanted to make great achievements, the vanguard camp had the best chance.
But what annoyed him was that this time he went south alone, and then he stopped in front of Raofeng Pass. The commander-in-chief didn't seem to have any intention of continuing south, and he just came here to scare the people.
Why is this? Doesn’t this mean that there is no opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Tian Ji was particularly irritable and in a bad mood tonight. He had a gut feeling that something was going to happen tonight.
However, when he reported his intuition to the pioneer officer, he was laughed at and scolded, and ordered to go back to his tent and sleep.
Unable to sleep, Tian Ji walked outside the account and stared blankly at the hazy Rao Fengguan.
Suddenly, Rao Feng turned off the lights, and countless torches formed a fire dragon and appeared at the city gate, illuminating the entire gate.
What are you doing? What are Song Bing doing? Why do they suddenly have so many people swarming up the city wall in the middle of the night...
He was surprised when he suddenly saw the closed city gate wide open, with countless torches flowing out of the gate.
Night attack? Yes, Song Bing wants to attack at night... Damn it... Song Bing is really insidious, he wants to attack at night, what a bastard... Ah... My intuition is indeed accurate...
Tian Ji was startled, turned around and ran towards the vanguard officer's camp, shouting about an enemy attack as he ran. However, although he screamed like a ghost, no one responded to him.
"Abuhanji, what do you want to do? Rebellion? You sleep in the middle of the night while others have to sleep." When he ran to the Pioneer's official tent, someone started to scold him.
"Tian Ji, are you crazy about making meritorious deeds? Do Song Bing dare to leave seclusion? They wish they could hide under their wives' skirts... Haha..."
Enemy attack? Impossible. When Song Bing saw Hu Bing coming, he was so frightened that he hid under the bed.
Hu Bing has always looked down on Song Bing, and the Song Bing guarding the gates are really like a turtle these days. No matter how provocative Hu Bing is, he just refuses to fight. When Hu Bing attacks a key point, he just throws rocks and hot water on the city. As long as Hu Bing does not attack the city, they will
They all shrank into their turtle shells.
Therefore, although some Hu soldiers woke up, they did not believe what Tian Ji shouted.
The lights were turned on in the vanguard tent, and the pioneer officer got up. Although he did not believe that Song Jun would come out to fight with them, Tian Ji was his subordinate anyway, and he had to check the tent anyway.
The pioneer officer went outside the tent and took a look, and there was indeed movement among the soldiers. He couldn't help but shout to meet the enemy...
This time it was over, all the tents suddenly exploded, and the soldiers rose up noisily to meet the enemy.
There was movement in the vanguard, and there was also movement in the camp behind.
Hu Bing's movements were still very fast. In a moment, the vanguard battalion had been assembled, and the main camp behind could also begin to assemble.
However, Tian Ji was in a daze at the moment. He didn't understand. Since the Song soldiers were going to attack at night, why did they order so many torches? Shouldn't they leave quietly?
Yes, why? Are the soldiers in Raofengguan stupid? What are they doing?
In fact, the soldiers guarding Raofeng Pass were also very depressed, and they did not understand why the generals would issue such an order.
The guard general had been angry all night, and he couldn't explain it, because this was the new vanguard officer appointed by the emperor...the same order from the vanguard officer who exterminated the captives. He felt that doing this was a fool, worse than an idiot, but he
He had to carry out the order, but the Pioneer Officer said that if he did not carry out the order, he would turn around and destroy all nine of his tribes.
Hu Bing's vanguard battalion began to meet the enemy, shouting with excitement, and finally a battle was fought.
However, when they shouted and shouted to greet Song Bing, they did not expect that the other party saw Hu Bing rushing towards them. Without saying a word, the rear team acted as the front team, turned around and ran back to the pass. They came out of the pass slowly just now, but this time
The soldiers retreated very quickly.
Hu Bing was dumbfounded. He thought he could fight a good fight and gain some military exploits. Damn it, he was sleeping well, but he woke me up and didn't fight?
The Hu soldiers were so angry that they jumped up and stood outside the pass and cursed. When they were tired of the scolding, they urinated on Rao Fengguan again. After repeated urging from their superiors, they returned to the camp to rest.
The Hu soldiers were not only angry at Song Bing's cowardice, but also found it funny. So after returning to their tents, they continued to scold and laugh. They made a fuss for a while, and then calmed down after being scolded by the generals of the team.
However, what pissed them off was that just as they were about to fall asleep, the drumbeat of the assembly started again.
Because, the Song soldiers in the pass came out again...
However, this time the Song soldiers came out quietly without lighting torches. However, they did not have the ability to attack at night, and their clumsy actions were quickly discovered by the Hu soldiers who were on duty at night.
The Hu soldiers rose up to meet the enemy, and then the Song soldiers retreated. Then the Hu soldiers cursed, urinated, threw stones... and even attacked... However, the Song soldiers at the gate of the city were well prepared and condescending. They first greeted them with arrows and approached.
All kinds of stones, rolling wood, and hot water poured down.
So Hu Bing came back again, scolded his mother, and then went to sleep.
However, just as they were about to fall asleep, there was movement behind the door again. So they got up again, and this time they were even angrier. When they got up, they discovered that the singing soldiers had not seen the door at all, but were just shouting and beating drums at the door.
In this way, after three or four times of various interferences, Hu Bing stopped paying attention to it, so Song Bing, who was behind closed doors, seemed to find it boring and stopped making trouble.
However, what they didn't know was that within half a mile, one mile, and two miles of the Hu soldiers' camp, some black shadows were moving. They were digging holes in the ground and placing landmines.
There were also some dark shadows, while Hu Ying was being tortured by the soldiers inside the pass, they had quietly touched the place ten or twenty feet away.
These black figures are of course the militiamen of Wagangzhai. They have taken the opportunity to lay mines. In this canyon, where the Hu soldiers retreated, five minefields were laid at regular intervals.
It was quiet, both inside and outside the pass, and the night returned to that oppressive silence.
Tian Ji didn't sleep anymore. He couldn't sleep. He felt that Song Bing's behavior tonight was too abnormal. Their purpose was definitely not to sneak out and attack. What were they doing? Are they just to torment their opponents? Could it be that, etc.
Will you come again soon?
Yes, they will definitely come again...but...can they really...no...it must not be like this...
Tian Ji couldn't sleep, and once again went to daze outside the tent. When he saw his soldiers on duty, he felt a little calmer.
In fact, in addition to the militiamen who had approached Hu Camp, both the guards in the pass and Meng Lianggon and his soldiers on the mountain were very agitated. They were nervous, worried, uneasy, excited and scared.
In this era, the night is everyone's natural enemy. Night battles are rare. Therefore, the untrained generals are very uneasy.
But the militiamen in Wagangzhai have long been accustomed to night fighting, because night fighting is one of the main training items. They are now crawling on the ground quietly, like a stone on the ground, motionless, all quietly waiting for their superiors to call.
Action instructions.
Without orders, they are not allowed to move even if the fire burns and the water floods.
The stars are hidden and the moon is slanting. The moon on May 12th has finally "set down the mountain". The earth is hidden in darkness. Even Hu Bing's vanguard camp can no longer see the city gate.
Suddenly, with a hiss, a red fire rose not far from Hu Bing's camp... Mahanshan asked someone to make a specially made "flare". Of course, this kind of signal flare was not shot with a gun, but a special kind of fireworks. These fireworks
There are various colors, some with sound and some without sound, and various colors and sounds represent various commands.
Those stone-like black shadows all suddenly moved, and then, after a burst of hissing sounds, dark club-like objects were thrown towards the Hu Jun camp like raindrops.
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!!
Ouch!
Ahh!!
Waves of deafening explosions sounded, followed by waves of miserable howls from the soldiers... They fled in all directions, screaming in pain and forgetting to even call for an enemy attack.
