The carriage in front had passed, and the moment the carriage behind passed by, Yang Peng roared: "Follow me!" Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out. Then he followed the carriage behind and ran for about five meters, adjusting.
He adjusted his body posture, then jumped forward suddenly, and he was already on top of the carriage and quickly dealt with the driver of the carriage. Then Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian followed, and the three of them were not stumped at the first level.
Yang Peng blinked and slowly rushed towards the two carriages in front. At this time, the large carriage troops in front could no longer be seen. Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian held bayonets in their mouths and slowly approached the joint.
After killing the groom who was driving the carriage up the hillside, Yang Peng opened the canvas on the carriage and took off the first canvas cover. He saw that more than forty long wooden boxes were neatly stacked. No need to ask, this is force.
Crossbow bow and arrow! However, that was not what he cared about today, so he quickly opened all the remaining canvas covers.
There are four canvas covers in the whole carriage. Except for the first one which is a crossbow bow and arrow, the second one is made of cotton clothes and trousers, the third one is made of grain and meat, and the fourth one is made of suede leather shoes and leather.
Hat. Yang Peng shouted in a low voice: "First move away the cotton clothes, cotton trousers, leather shoes and hats, then the crossbows and arrows, and finally the meat. Time is limited, hurry up and load the truck!"
The energy of more than thirty strong laborers is not low, and the young men themselves are not idle. The strong ones have already carried it on their shoulders. "Liu Zhiliang, take all the clothes and clothes away, and leave all the other carts."
, Retreat immediately according to the plan! You must retreat into the mountains overnight, and leave people on the road to clean up the car tracks, and you must not leave any tails!" Yang Peng saw that the matter was half successful, and suppressed the joy in his heart and ordered.
As a result, the three-trailer truck was taken away by the uniforms, leaving only the five-trailer truck, which was two less than the original plan. At this time, Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian, who were on guard, had returned. Cheng Shijie jumped onto the first truck and whipped the tip of his whip.
Wave, the mule has already set off. Then Zhang Xiang, Zhan Jinguo, Zhang Yan, and Duan Zhixian drove the other four carts on the road. Yang Peng followed Shi Liancheng all the way, using pine branches to clean up the traces on the road, and at the same time responsible for the rear
of warning.
After working all night, nothing happened. The only thing that troubled Yang Peng and others was how to deal with the five-trailer truck. Later, Zhang Xiang suggested that it would be a pity to dismantle the truck like this, and it would be better to remove the wheels.
Moved into the cave. As for the five mules, they could be used as foot power the next day and rode back to the secret camp. Although everyone was exhausted, they couldn't help but be happy when they saw the mountains of loot in front of them. With Yang Peng's consent, Shi Liancheng
The little guy slowly opened the long wooden box.
"Wow, a brand new crossbow!" Shi Liancheng deliberately picked a box that looked long and narrow, but he didn't expect that there was a strong crossbow inside! There were three similar boxes, which means there were four strong crossbows in total. Yang Peng was here
Do you want the Great Song Dynasty to be the Great Song Dynasty? The crossbow was the life-saving weapon of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, the Khitan people have already got it. This is traitorous. These corrupt officials really dare to do anything. With this harvest, Bai Shujie also wants to see
To see what was obtained this time, he ordered several people to open all the boxes and check them.
After final statistics, the Khitan had fifty long bows, 100 scimitars, four crossbows, and two boxes of medicinal herbs. As for the meat, it was all mutton and a small amount of beef. Apart from opening one box for dinner, they didn't bother to do anything else.
After reading it, "Holy shit, the Khitan is going to strengthen the team and a strong crossbow team. It seems that the comer is not good. Please be careful in the future!" Yang Peng did a simple calculation and knew that this should be because some time ago,
After the garrison lost its troops, it was ready to be fully armed.
After a day of rest, it was dark again in the blink of an eye. The day was still calm, and no disturbance was found. "All the bows, arrows and crossbows were tied to the backs of mules and taken away, and the herbs were also taken away." Yang Peng pondered for a moment: "The arrows are also gone.
Take them all away, including ten boxes of crossbow bows and arrows. Pack up all the remaining things and cover them with canvas. Oh, leave a box of hand crossbow bows and arrows for me, you guys hurry up and pack them."
Yang Peng suddenly thought that no one was staying in this place. Although it was very secretive, the Khitan people's noses were almost bigger than the noses of dogs. It would be a pity if they were discovered. Therefore, everyone else was carrying things on the backs of the mules.
, but Yang Peng was setting up a trap array. This technique of his came from what he had in his mind. It was not just about pulling out a string and hanging it anywhere. If the Khitans came in, they would
It was enough for the Khitan soldiers to drink several pots.
Well, it seems that the Khitan at this time does not have the ability to detect traps, so it can only hope that it cannot be found here. Of course, this is not a problem that Yang Peng cares about. By the time Yang Peng and others returned to their temporary base, it was already
In the early morning four days later, the entire station was still in excitement and had been talking about the ambush battle all day long. Although not a single arrow was fired during the whole process, several coachmen were killed, but the joy of success could not be suppressed.
living.
Seeing Yang Peng and others coming back, Liu Zhiliang hurriedly got up to receive them. Of course, the brothers in the chef class were also busy heating hot water and making midnight snacks. "Brother, don't worry. We will keep going when we come back this time.
We walked more than ninety miles east and then took a big detour to come back, only two days earlier than you." Liu Zhiliang saw Yang Peng worried, so he quickly reported what happened: "This time we made a fortune.
There are 280 complete sets of winter clothes and quilts, which is enough for us to use for several years."
"Well, think about everything. What you did in this matter is worthy of praise!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Although this battle was a complete victory, the Khitan people must be furious. What will they do next?
We still don’t know the countermeasures, so we must be vigilant at all times. What I am worried about is food and salt. If this problem is not solved, then it will be a big problem.”
"Brother, I have a suggestion, do you think it will work?" Zhang Xiang said in a low voice: "You usually give some pocket money to the brothers. I think you can take it back for the time being and keep it in the accounts, and then exchange it all for food. We should organize
It’s up to us to deal with a person who has been there for a year and a half. As for the pocket money, we will just double it in the future. Anyway, we don’t need the money now, so it’s better to keep it in a centralized place.”
"Brother, can you do this? Aren't you worried that the brothers will say that we have gone back on our word?" Yang Peng hesitated. Zhang Xiang is the oldest, twenty-four years old this year. So when there is no one around, Yang Peng calls him brother. Zhang Xiang shook his head.
He shook his head and said: "Brothers are risking their lives, why would they care about the things outside themselves. Don't worry about this, I will just do it. As long as you don't buy food in one place, the possibility of being discovered is not very high."
After Zhang Xiang and his men worked non-stop for more than a month, the secret camp had enough food and salt to last for more than a year. It was already the end of November 1025. All the problems were solved, and the first heavy snow sealed the area.
Mountain.
The whole team now has seventy-eight Khitan long bows and arrows, so they naturally changed their uniforms. Last time they got four strong crossbows, plus Yin Mingde and Zhou Dayong still have one in hand, there are five strong crossbows in total. Still.
The quality of the ordnance of the Song Dynasty is really good. The Song Dynasty is still very strong in terms of weapons, but the army has no combat effectiveness. This is recognized by history. There has never been any expansion of territory during the Song Dynasty. Even if the land is reduced, there are still
of.
Yang Peng thought about it for a long time. What Yang Peng personally controlled was the strong crossbow team of Yin Mingde and Zhou Dayong, and then the correspondent Shi Liancheng. These four people had a total of five hand crossbows and one strong crossbow. They went through some changes.
Adjustment, although outdoor training has been restricted, the training of basic theory and basic skills has not stopped. Yang Peng requires that every brother must be able to operate a strong crossbow, and everyone is a strong crossbowman.
At this point, even the three people from Xiong Zhaode's cooking class were not left behind, because Yang Peng left a powerful crossbow to the secret camp, and was also equipped with two Khitan longbows. Yang Peng basically had few people at this time.
A head-on battle with the Khitan people. Once the combat troops leave, only three people from the cooking squad are left in the secret camp. If the enemy discovers them, the possibility of rushing out will be greatly increased if there is a strong crossbow cover.
In the lingo of this corner of northern Hebei, strong crossbows are called Chuanzi, which means that when fired, a large area is formed. With two hand crossbows, a longbow, and a strong crossbow in the cooking class, a dozen or so people would definitely not be able to stop them.
.As a theoretical course, Yang Peng did not have any inventions. The tactical course he taught was the master's "three-three system". That is, one point and two sides, one group and two teams. However, what Yang Peng emphasized was "one point and two sides"
"This is what the captains must pass. Positional warfare and attack warfare are both essential. As for a group of two teams, Yang Peng briefly talked about it without putting too much emphasis on it.
According to what he said: "I don't occupy territory. If I can win, I will fight. If I can't win, I will leave. If I have nothing to do, why should I attack the city and attack the fortress? Just thirty or forty people like me will come here with dozens of long bows and arrows.
It’s useless! It’s okay to lay an ambush and find a nest. If I really want to open up a battle array and compete with the Khitan’s large army, I don’t have the capital. Can I be compared with the Yang family’s army? He has an army of 100,000!”
Based on this guiding ideology, Yang Peng emphasized two "sixteen-character policies" for the struggle against the enemy under the current situation: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
"Plus, "Get out of the way of the front and occupy both sides; lure the enemy deep and annihilate them one by one."
This is the most classic description of guerrilla warfare. It is simply a holy book on the art of war! If you explain the modern art of war, if you leave the military team of later generations, it will basically be farts and smelly. Sometimes Yang Peng doesn’t even know
How did he know so much and who he really was? Yang Peng was thinking that he must figure this out. Just like this, the New Year is not far away. For the safety of the secret camp, Yang Peng asked three combat squads to
We all went out to do some activities and get used to the climate of the forest and snowfields. We also took this opportunity to get to know what was going on outside and see if the enemies were preparing to celebrate the New Year. For half a month, more than thirty brothers were running around outside.
.Think back, when these people first escaped, no one thought that they would have such a majestic day and be able to "run all over the mountains with quick arrows and catch a lot of rabbits and pheasants!"
From then on, there was no seafood in the secret camp, but mountain delicacies emerged one after another. A bunch of bastards would naturally make trouble if their mouths were full of oil. On this day, Yang Peng was warming up in the cave, and Zhang Xiang blew in like a gust of wind.
Out of breath, he said: "Brother, the opportunity for revenge has come!" Yang Peng picked up the teapot and said: "Brother, don't be in a hurry, take a sip of boiled water, sit down and talk slowly."
"It's too late!" Zhang Xiang took a sip of water and then said: "I took my two brothers and turned around to Jinzhai New District. It is said that Pu Jinyi will go to the Khitan people the day after tomorrow.
What are you sending? Oh, by the way, New Year gifts to the Khitan officials in Youzhou!" "Is the news reliable?" Yang Peng was shocked when he heard this: "Please tell me in detail."
"It's like this. Pu Jinyi's third concubine is in Xintun. He has collected a batch of New Year's goods there. The Khitan people who want to send them to Youzhou don't know who the high official is." Zhang Xiang said in a low voice: "I
I sneaked into Jinzhai New District last night to take a look. Pu Jinyi has a total of two sledges and four fast horses, and they are all ready." "Liancheng, inform the deputy captain and above to come over for a meeting!" Yang Peng also thought this was a mistake.
It doesn't matter if it's a good opportunity, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. If it fails, just treat it as a long-distance training, and you won't lose even half a feather.
After the brothers arrived, Yang Peng went directly to the topic: "Brothers, Zhang Xiang just brought back a special news, which needs him to explain to everyone in detail." Zhang Xiang said simply: "The big foreman Pu Jinyi actually gave it in advance.
The Khitan dog from Youzhou paid New Year greetings and prepared a lot of new year goods. Unfortunately, this damn bastard did not go with the caravan, but used a sledge to transport it there. He walked through the market in such a swagger just to show that he was close to the Khitan people
, to raise my own value. I think this is a great opportunity for revenge, and I should go out and kill him!"
Zhan Jinguo stood up first and shouted: "Fuck, fuck this bastard to death!" The crowd was excited for a while: "Fuck! It must be done!" "Well, since everyone agrees, then I decided that everyone will not celebrate the New Year.
Pu Jinyi and the Khitan people don't celebrate the New Year either!" Yang Peng waved his right hand: "I order Zhang Xiang to take the lead in the first group of Zhan Jin Kingdom and set out to explore the road in two hours. The strong crossbow group and the second group will follow me.
The third team is responsible for staying in the secret camp. The first stop is to gather in the Jinjiagou area."
"I don't agree!" Duan Zhixian immediately objected: "Why should our third team be left to look after the house? I, Duan Zhixian, and the damn Pu Jinyi have a life-and-death feud, so we must participate in the action." "Okay, okay, our family doesn't have anything to do with it anyway.
What to see? Everyone goes, and the cooking team looks after the house. We put on our fur coats and set out at night. The cooking team rushes to prepare dry food to ensure three days." Yang Peng also felt that there was no need to attach too much importance to this cave, so he might as well take them all out.
Get used to marching in the mountains and forests in winter.
Yang Peng gave the order, and the entire secret camp immediately took action. Everyone was in high spirits. Now we are really about to go to war with the big enemy. There is nothing better than this in the world! All the bows and arrows were re-oiled and wiped.
Keep it clean and prevent it from being frozen. If you can't draw the bow and arrow, it will become a joke. Seeing the enthusiasm of the brothers, Yang Peng felt that his decision to go out as a whole was the most correct decision. As the saying goes, "you can be angry but not vented", brothers
We all have a deep blood feud. If we can't vent it properly, it will not be conducive to future development.
Four hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Xiang's team has been setting out for two hours. Now it's dusk, everything is ready, and the large troops have gathered on the playground. Yang Peng made the final mobilization: "Brothers, we are
Soldiers who have undergone rigorous training are not a bunch of rabble. Although we are facing our biggest enemy this time, I hope everyone can calm down and stay calm. We must follow the command in all actions. Otherwise, we will not be able to take revenge when the time comes.
It’s not worthwhile to bring yourself in. Now I order: everyone is here, let’s go!”
It is said that as soon as the brothers heard that they were going to kill the big enemy Pu Jinyi, the crowd suddenly became excited. Yang Peng did not dare to let this passion go to everyone's mind, so he gave a lecture before ordering the departure. Yang Peng was very interested in this forest, sea and snowy field.
He is no stranger to it. In the past four years, he has practiced Qinggong with Master Lin Qing'er. When the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, he even came out to practice Qing Kung Fu. However, he did not have the so-called ability to "step on snow without leaving a trace". His master Lin Qing'er
Can't do it either.
Therefore, the hardships of marching in waist-deep snowy dense forest can be imagined. Within half an hour, everyone began to pant. There was no walking at all when going downhill. Everyone was holding a gun.
Holding the long bow in his arms, he rolled down directly. After a hard night's trek, he finally arrived at a hill in the southeast of Jinjiagou in the early morning of the next day. There were two soldiers in a group squatting in the snow cellar to take shelter.
When Fenghan saw the large troops arriving, he climbed out to greet them.
Yang Peng arranged for the brothers to immediately rectify their equipment, and then asked the two soldiers: "Brothers, how is the situation here?" "The captain just sent someone to say that they are currently guarding Pu Jinyi's only road.
Because that place is a three-way intersection." "Okay, let's take advantage of the fact that it's not bright yet and the people haven't gotten up yet. You lead the way and we will rush there immediately." Bai Shujie did not let the brothers rest, they must be in a hidden state.
Get close to the ambush site, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain.
As the saying goes, kindness does not lead to troops. Yang Peng also knew that this was not the time to talk about mercy, so he ordered with a serious face: "The second team will follow, and everyone will speed up. The third team will leave two brothers to sweep away all the footprints."
At dawn, everyone was lying in ambush at the three-way intersection. Fortunately, everyone wore their fur coats backwards, dug out a snow nest and lay down inside. The other brother covered it with snow, leaving only two eyes facing outward.
Looking at the small hole, nothing else could be distinguished. A big net just opened up. Yang Peng and Zhang Xiang lay together. When the brothers were all in place, they asked in confusion: "I see this place
It’s very close to Jinzhai New District, are there any Khitan troops here?”
"Brother, don't worry, I've already inquired. There are only twelve personal guards of Pu Jinyi here." Zhang Xiang said softly: "There are six people in the guard house beside the third concubine, and a powerful crossbow. At this time, Yang Peng
I wonder how many powerful crossbows the Song Dynasty sold to the Liao Kingdom. There are even such foremen here. It is simply a self-destructive grave."
"If this is the case, our people need to make adjustments." Yang Peng immediately called Duan Zhixian over and ordered: "You three teams should withdraw quickly and don't leave any traces. Get to the vicinity of Jinzhai New District, and then sneak in to find Pujin.
The residence of Mrs. Yi San. When the arrows sound from our side, we will immediately knock out his guard team. Remember, do not hurt Mrs. San, but take away all the weapons and money. After the battle, directly
Return, there is no need to rendezvous with the large army."
As soon as Zhang Xiang listened to Yang Peng's instructions, he realized that he had thought about things too simply. He just had Pu Jinyi in his head and forgot about bigger things. Although Yang Peng didn't say anything, Zhang Xiang felt
He made a big mistake, and his face was already red and purple! Yang Peng waited for Duan Zhixian's third team to evacuate safely, and then said softly to Zhang Xiang: "Brother, don't blame yourself, after all, you haven't gone through anything yet."
Exercise. However, our eyes should not just look at our toes, but should raise our heads so that we can see further. Can killing a Pujinyi solve the problem? No!"
"Brother, I understand everything you said!" Zhang Xiang nodded slightly: "Even if we kill Pu Jinyi, there will still be Zhang Jinyi, Li Jinyi, etc. Then brother, what do you think we should do in the future?"
Brother, if my estimate is correct, the Khitan will not be able to stay peaceful for a few more years." Yang Peng slowly induced him: "If my estimate is correct and the Khitan does not do well, they may attack the entire Cangzhou. This is
Our biggest enemy!"
"No way, there are tens of thousands of troops under Grand Master Pan, and the Khitan people are only tens of thousands, right?" Zhang Xiang said with disbelief: "Does the Khitan dare to challenge Master Pan head-on because it has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
Yang Peng thought to himself: "What happened is that the Khitans ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and they did not challenge Taishi Pan. Instead, Taishi Pan put down his weapons and scared him away!" Of course, this cannot be said out loud, after all, he is not a god, and there should not be any divination.
ability.
"Brother, let's wait and see. Anyway, the Khitans won't keep their duties honestly." Yang Peng said ambiguously: "In short, the Khitans have come to our land, and they are our enemies. Without their support,
, Pu Jinyi and other scumbags can’t possibly kill so many people. If we don’t want to have such a scourge like Pu Jinyi in the future, we must knock off their backers!” The two people talked, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was rising. Dongfang
In Jinzhai New District, which is 35 miles away, wisps of smoke have begun to rise. It has cleared up after the snow, and the sunlight reflected on the snow is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.
Yang Peng felt that the time was almost up, so he whispered: "Pass it down, move your hands and feet slightly, check the bow and arrows and the crossbow, and put the arrow box in a convenient place!" "Drive!" At this time, eastward, to the east.
There was a shout not far away, and then four horses trotted towards the ambush circle. Not far behind the horses, two sledges appeared. A car roof with an arc top was built on the first sledge.
, there must be someone sitting inside!
Behind the sledge, two teams of men in black followed, eight of them all holding hand crossbows! However, they all had their hands in their sleeves and their heads drooped as they hurried forward. Yang Peng slowly opened the nose of the two-handed crossbow, and then
He aimed at the mule in front of the first sledge. Just when he was about to pull the trigger, he didn't know who fired the first arrow first!
Whoosh! The man in black on the horse at the front fell off his horse! The three horses behind were really "self-motivated without raising their whips" and rushed forward like crazy! Hey - wheeze - follow
There was a long neigh, and the mules and horses dragging the sledge were frightened and rushed straight out of the diagonal spur!
"Hit!" Yang Peng had no choice but to order to shoot: "The arrows of the crossbow chased the escaping sledge and knocked out the mule in front of it!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Three crossbows shot arrows at the same time, and the target was the chaos.
Two sledges were running away. As for the eight men in black behind them, they were shot to death by random arrows before they even raised their heads.
Yang Peng got up and took a look. The two sledges rushing towards the northern field had overturned, and the mules had gone somewhere. So he loudly ordered: "Search the first class to see how Pu Jinyi is doing!"
The second team is cleaning the battlefield and preparing to retreat!" After a period of fuss, a mule was finally recovered. The horse of the man in black who was killed first was also recovered. Zhang Xiang saw Yang Peng coming and was helpless.
He shook his head, then turned around and pointed to the north. A line of horse hoof prints stretched into the distance on the snow. Pu Jinyi, ran away!
"Report!" Cheng Shijie came over to report: "Kill nine men in black and seize -" "Don't fucking seize them! Pack your things and retreat for me!" Yang Peng was so angry that he said,
After saying a few words, he turned around and left. Because there was a horse and a mule, the two sledges were finally dragged back to the secret camp. Six hours later, Duan Zhixian's third team returned to the station.
After rushing back to the secret camp for a day and a night, Yang Peng's anger not only did not subside, but instead grew stronger. When he saw the third team returning, he immediately roared: "Shi Liancheng, inform all the soldiers to gather at the playground!" Yang Peng
He circled back and forth in front of the team three times, then raised his head suddenly and shouted: "Who the hell violated military orders and shot the first arrow without authorization, stand up for me!"
"Report, it's me!" Looking at the man who stood up, Yang Peng couldn't believe it at all! Who is it, the deputy captain of the first class, Zhan Jinguo? Yang Peng's eyes widened with anger, and he raised his right hand with a whoosh.
However, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and did not slap the slap. His right hand clenched into a fist in mid-air and did not fall down for a long time.
"Violation of battlefield discipline shall be punished by death!" Yang Peng's fist in his right hand fell hard, and then he continued: "Gu Nian's first offense will be exempted from the death penalty. Order: From now on, Zhan Jinguo will be removed from the position of deputy captain.
, transferred to the cooking class, and will not be allowed to participate in combat missions in the future! Dismissed!" Yang Peng abandoned everyone, angrily got into his bed and fell asleep with his head covered, and did not get up all day and night.
"Brother, they all went out to punish themselves." Zhang Xiang came to Yang Peng's Kang, then sat sideways on the edge of the Kang, took out his dry tobacco bag, lit it, and said: "The War of Jin Dynasty violated military orders, you
It doesn't matter if you punish him, beat him or scold him. However, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. It is not okay to just stop eating or drinking and get angry with yourself. If you don't eat and your brothers don't eat, what's the point of going on like this?"
"I know what you're thinking. You hate iron. It was a good ambush battle, but just because of the arrow of that little brat from Zhan Jin Kingdom, everyone ran away in vain. You don't feel good, all of us
It's all uncomfortable, and Zhan Jinguo is even more uncomfortable. He wanted to come to you and kneel down for you, but I stopped him." "Brother, stop talking!" Yang Peng lifted the quilt and sat up suddenly and said:
"I'm not angry with others, I'm angry with myself. Really, most of the responsibility for this matter lies with me. The Art of War says: if the army is ordered to go out, it will not stop, and it will be over. It's because I didn't educate it well.
, we can’t completely blame everyone.”
"Brother, there is no need for you to take this matter on yourself!" Zhang Xiang put a coat on Yang Peng: "All brothers know that you have emphasized the military orders dozens of times. The War of Jin Kingdom disobeyed orders.
, it is indeed a crime worthy of death. Even if you shoot him, no one can say no. Military orders are military orders, and there can be no mistakes."
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
