Scroll of Renzi, Section 119, Setting Up an Ambush
Song Zhibao immediately became nervous.
Giving Liu Baishan a signal, the two of them immediately dispersed and followed the agreed route, sneaking towards the Sihai Administration in front of them, one on the left and the other on the right.
In fact, it is not considered sneaking at this distance. There is no one in the surrounding wilderness. It is all rugged and broken rocks mixed with withered grass and shrubs. Just run along the established route. There is no need to worry about being discovered by others, or even if you are discovered, you will not be able to sneak.
It doesn't matter, they are not afraid of meeting anyone in this mountainous area.
For the two of them, who have been living in this mountainous area for a long time and are hunters, this terrain is too familiar. They have been wandering in this mountainous area for many years, and after being recruited into the Jizhen Army, they were targeted.
Having received specialized training, they have extensive experience in this area.
Song Zhibao sneaked along the foothills next to the Sihai Administrative Office, but when he was less than a mile away from the Sihai Administrative Office, he changed his direction and walked along the foothills toward the mountain. The terrain ahead was higher, and one mile did not count.
It was far away. If something happened inside the fortress, he was confident that he could find out something by looking over.
Climbing all the way along the foothills, the mountain rocks were broken. Fortunately, there were many unknown dead grasses and ground-covering shrubs growing in the gaps between the broken and weathered rocks. He could use his strength to climb up quickly.
.
Climbing up dozens of steps in one breath, even though Song Zhibao had extraordinary physical strength, he still felt like his chest was breathing like a bellows.
Choosing a slightly gentle place, Song Zhibao then clung to the mountain rocks, letting some cold rocks squeeze against his jacket, which was already wet with sweat. It was very uncomfortable to be wet, but at this time he paid attention
Li Li was completely attracted by the scene in the fortress below.
The Sihai Administrative Office is nominally a health office, but it cannot be completely regarded as a health office.
As a frontline guard post supporting the Black Hanling Fort and Thursday Gou Fort on the front, the situation is completely different from the guard post in the hinterland...
In addition to a fort where soldiers were stored, there were several streets lined with hundreds of dilapidated houses scattered along the walls outside the fort.
Most of these houses are made of stones mixed with wooden boards or some dead branches and thatch, or even painted with mud. Anyway, various building materials are mixed together, which looks messy and uncoordinated, but in this kind of fortress not far from the side wall
On the side, it looks extraordinarily normal.
These were gradually accumulated by relatives of surrounding military households and prisoners assigned to them, as well as miscellaneous people such as businessmen, hunters, small craftsmen, etc. who were willing to come to this wall to make a living. Over time, this kind of nondescript atmosphere was formed.
A settlement similar to a small market town on the border.
Several flashes of light under the fortress wall made Song Zhibao's face turn pale. He suppressed the breathless gasps before, even though he knew that the distance was so far, even a few coughs could be heard over there.
No, he might not be able to find anything if he looked this way, but he still subconsciously arched his body and curled up.
More than a dozen cavalrymen came around along the side wall. What dazzled him was the reflection of the weapons in their hands.
Song Zhibao knew at a glance that this was not the cavalry of the Xuanfu Army. If such a formation appeared, this little flag would definitely be whipped.
Only the Chahars or Tumuts outside the border wall have such a careless or bohemian loose formation, but their superb riding skills can make up for their lack of disciplined formations, and they can complete the formation in a very short time.
After adjustment, an attack formation can be made.
Song Zhibao swallowed hard. From such a distance, he couldn't tell whether they were the Tumuts or the Chahars. The two Mongolians might have some differences in their clothes, but they couldn't tell the difference at such a distance.
But this is not important anymore, as long as the Mongols appear under the fortress wall of the Sihai Administration and are so unscrupulous, it is enough to explain everything.
There is no garrison at all in the fort, and there are only Mongols. But where have these original Zhou garrison gone? Were they annihilated by the Mongols in a surprise attack, or were they evacuated long ago? And the Black Hanling Fort and Thursday ditch ahead
What happened to Fort?
Song Zhibao didn't have time to think too much. He turned his head and looked back. He had to report to the brigade that was still resting in front as soon as possible. As for the result of his companions going around from the other side, he couldn't control it.
Song Zhibao did not dare to think about what would happen once the Mongolian cavalry in the fortress gathered together, came out along this road, and collided with the unsuspecting troops of their own.
Trying his best to relax his stiff body, he quickly ran backwards along the slope at the foot of the mountain in a zigzag pattern, but he did not dare to run too fast. Once this kind of broken mountain rock was stepped on, it would cause it to fall.
, it’s hard to say whether the group of Mongolians who seemed to be happily talking to each other would discover anything, although the chance of being discovered at such a distance was not high.
The Mongolian cavalry at a few street corners were circling their horses back and forth, looking around and looking around a little impatiently.
Bursts of shouts, curses, and some miserable howls kept coming out. It should be that the people in the houses outside the fort were being looted and slaughtered. But for Song Zhibao, this did not distract him at all. Now he
Point to go back as quickly as possible to prepare the general to meet the enemy.
After finally coming down from the ridge, Song Zhibao ran all the way along the ravine at the foot of the mountain, running for more than a mile in one breath. A figure suddenly jumped out from a ravine in front of him. Song Zhibao had no time to think too much, and the short knife in his hand suddenly
With one hand, it went straight to the opponent's waist, and with the other hand, it hooked fiercely towards the opponent's neck.
The other party reacted very quickly. His body suddenly tilted backwards, half-crouched on the ground, and avoided Song Zhibao's vicious knife. However, one of his legs was an extremely sinister rabbit kick towards Song Zhibao's crotch.
Song Zhibao did not expect that the opponent would be so cunning. Not only did he miss his hook and miss his thrust, he would also take advantage of the situation and use the opportunity to lie down and kick his legs hard. If he was kicked hard by the opponent, he would never want to be a man again in this life.
Sliding sideways to avoid the kick, Song Zhibao swooped forward, sank the knife in his hand, and was about to make a big hole in the opponent's leg, but he heard a low cry: "Dabao, it's me!"
"
Song Zhibao didn't react until he heard this. He breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the ground, "Damn, Baishan, why is it you? You almost killed me!"
Why isn't it him? He was too nervous and in a hurry, he didn't even see the person clearly and struck hard.
"I am the same, your knife almost killed me!" Liu Baishan also collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily: "Damn, the Chahar people came in, I was on the street over there
We almost had an encounter. What do these bastards of the Xuanfu Army do for food? How come even the Sihai Administration was captured by the Chahar people? Was the Black Hanling Fort captured by them? Or was it the Thursday Gou Fort?
"
With a wave of his hand, Song Zhibao quickly got up and walked back, shaking his head: "It's impossible to come from Zhougoubao. If the Chahar people came from there, they would have gone directly to Yongning, and they can still mess around here.
?”
"That's right, hurry up and go back to report the news. We will make a great contribution this time." As soon as we were out of danger, Liu Baishan began to think more clearly.
He and Song Zhibao were recruited into this unit as scouts for a short period of time, less than a year, mainly because of their familiarity with the mountain conditions in this area. In addition, they were born as hunters and were good at running in the mountains.
They have good physical strength and know some martial arts skills, so Zuo Liangyu selected them into the scout team.
But after all, it was their first time to engage in this industry for real, and they encountered such a big event right away. They were so happy and shocked that they inevitably lost their temper, so the two of them were already very close and familiar with each other.
, they would act cruelly without even seeing anyone clearly when they were nervous. Fortunately, their martial arts skills were equal, so no tragedy occurred.
The two of them ran wildly along the foothills and returned to the two groups who were still resting as a team three miles away.
"What, the Chahar people have come in?!" Zuo Liangyu was surprised and then overjoyed.
This trip was really on the right track. It doesn't matter whether the Xuanfu army intentionally let the Chahar people into the border wall or whether the Xuanfu army deployed too many troops and was successfully attacked by the Chahar people.
Now he has to face the attack of the Chahar people. This is much better than fighting with the Xuanfu Army. The Xuanfu Army is mainly infantry and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. If we really fight with them, the losses will not be small.
.
Fighting with the Mongols is relatively simple. If you encounter a field battle, a head-on collision, and the terrain is not suitable, you may be defeated by a big rout. But now, you have obtained the information first, predicted the enemy's situation, and controlled everything from the four seas to the east and west.
The terrain is very rugged, so it is not difficult to choose a place to set up an ambush. The key is to be fast enough and within time.
"They must be from Chahar. The nearest cavalryman is only twenty steps away. Fortunately, I can dodge quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered." Liu Baishan nodded repeatedly, and Song Zhibao also joined the conversation: "General
, the little one will not be mistaken, the Sihai Zhisuo Fortress is still in chaos, and looting is still going on outside, and only a small number of people have begun to gather at the street entrance..."
Huang Degong exchanged understanding glances with Zuo Liangyu and immediately started discussing.
If the Chahar people come in, they may go in two directions.
One is to go in the direction where my group came from, then cross the Great Wall, enter the territory of Shuntian Prefecture, and approach the Chaohe River.
One direction is to go to Yongning, capture Yongning, and then choose an opportunity to see if we can attack Yanqing Prefecture City.
The two of them quickly denied the former, because judging from what they knew so far, the Chahar people were unlikely to invade on a large scale, but more likely to be harassed by a small group or deliberately let in by Niu Jizong. If they wanted to invade,
Shuntian Prefecture also has to face the Inner Great Wall guarded by Ji Zhenjun, and they will not take this risk.
Wouldn’t it be nice to grab Yongning and Yanqing Prefecture?
We quickly determined the direction, which was to choose the ambush location. Of course, it was the section from Sihaizhi to Yongning.
