In the dense forest in front of Qingping Pass, the troops of the Western Qiang people began to gather. They were the most elite soldiers and horses of each tribe. They gathered here under the orders of the leaders of each tribe, preparing to storm Qingping Pass to open up the road back to Qinggang Gorge from Huanzhou.
.
But something started to go wrong once they entered this forest. It was originally an ordinary forest, but it became weird after they entered it, but their fear had just begun.
He stepped on the trip wire, and with the sound of teeth squeaking, the roaring horizontal board hit several Qiang soldiers, and the heart-rending screams suddenly resounded through the entire forest.
Xian Lingtuoye looked coldly at the few people who were lying on the ground screaming, raised his hands and said to the soldiers: "These people are useless, don't waste time on them, be careful, don't fall for this kind of trick."
Blame me for being heartless!"
The Xiqiang rebel soldiers watched the people screaming in pain and remained silent, but their hearts were filled with fear. They allowed them to wail but no one dared to step forward to help them take their lives.
This dense forest is the best cover for the Xiqiang people. In front of it is the unobstructed Qingping Pass. Only here can they hide, otherwise
Several people had already set fire to the forest. He knew that this was the Song army's method and deliberately left this forest as a trap. Otherwise, the Song army guarding the pass would not have left this forest.
Screams rang out one after another. The Xiqiang people didn't know how many traps the Song army had set here. There were spiked flaps with feces underneath. Once they stepped in, the leg was basically useless.
I don't know when the sling will appear. One wrong step and it will be hung in the air. There must be spikes at the top. The Xiqiang rebels are like beggars, tentatively moving forward with sticks. Finally, they set up camp in the woods, and then
Even so, I didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of attracting the Qingpingguan garrison to come out and kill them.
Ye An looked at the woods in the distance on the city wall and frowned slightly. Before exploring the horse, he had discovered that the Xiqiang rebels had entered the woods. Logically speaking, he should set fire to the forest after encountering some mechanism. In this way, the fierce fire he buried underground
Oil can have unexpected effects, but why didn't they set fire to it?
Iron Ox was wandering around the city wall like a donkey working on a grindstone, and kept saying: "Why don't you light the fire? You don't even light the fire?"
Ye An, who was already irritable, lifted his feet and put them on his butt. On a hot day, this guy was still buzzing like a mosquito. Zhao Hu next to him smiled and said: "Master Hou, we don't need to worry, those fierce fires
The oil has already been buried underground, so we only need to send people to sneak in, and they will be able to burn the forest after all, right?"
"How do you sneak through such a huge open space?"
Tieniu rejected Zhao Hu's proposal without thinking, but Ye An slapped his thigh and said: "What a good idea! Select a few agile ones from the Anhua Army and put them all into black leather armor. Remember to wear more
One layer just in case!”
Tieniu looked at Ye An in surprise: "Master Hou, are we going out of the city to attack the camp tonight?!"
Ye An smiled and nodded: "That's right! It should be called guerrilla warfare, so that these Xiqiang people can sleep more peacefully at night..."
Looking at Ye An's iron-clad smile, he felt uncomfortable. The Marquis who somehow went to the battlefield was very strange. Even his smile was so scary, making people's hair stand on end just looking at it.
At night, several black figures descended from the Qingping Gate along the slings and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Ye An led the people through the dark night. The thick-soled boots under his feet made no sound. He could feel his heart beating fast, but his head was extremely clear. The rare cool breeze on summer nights was refreshing in the northwest.
tight.
Ye An himself didn't know why he wanted to risk the attack, but this long-lost excitement made him want to scream.
He knew that this was because his adrenaline was soaring, and he tried hard to adjust his breathing to calm his restless heart. He returned to the battlefield again. This was not like Shiliang Watanabe who led his army to attack the Xiqiang people, but a secret
An attack is a sneak attack that takes the initiative.
With about ten people, he detoured from the flank of the dense forest and walked quietly along the jungle. The Xiqiang people did not live in the mountains and forests for a long time. In addition, the traps made them at a loss. Even the patrols did not dare to stay away from the army.
This is really not a good thing for Ye An. Patrol sentries are most easily killed silently when they are far away from the army, but there are many ways to eliminate them.
He took out the bamboo tube in his arms and put in a blow dart. Poof... the Xiqiang people did not fall down in response but screamed. The blow dart is not something that kills people, it is just the kind of blow dart that is smeared with spicy things.
Once the arrow is shot into the body, the back hook is sharp and a large piece of flesh will be pulled out if it is pulled out at will. Such severe pain is not something that ordinary people can bear.
After the arrows were fired, Ye An led the people away from this side, and the screams naturally attracted more Xiqiang people, thus distracting their attention.
Now was a good opportunity to create chaos. Far away from the screams, Ye An took Tieniu, Zhao Hu and Li Ergen to separate from the other soldiers. The two simple teams had no fixed target and only needed to drop their swords.
The isolated Xiqiang soldiers threw heavy fire and oil to create chaos.
Guerrilla warfare is to exhaust the enemy and obtain maximum benefits at the minimum cost.
The Xiqiang people's army is far less organized than the Song army. Even if they camp in the woods, there are no barriers such as fences. This is really good for Ye An and others.
The cotton rope on the fire oil was ignited, and it was thrown hard and hit the tree trunk. The rocks exploded with a bang. The raging fire quickly engulfed the surroundings. Summer was no less dry than winter, and the flames rose rapidly.
And rise.
Ye An and others were also around the messy camp. Anyone with a fully drawn bow who was close to the flames would be the best target. If the arrows were fired, there would be death or injury.
At this time, the Xiqiang people began to reorganize their troops and gather patrol posts to encircle and suppress the place where the arrows were shot. Unfortunately, in Ye An's view, the encirclement was shrinking too slowly.
He quickly left with a few people, but did not return to Qingping Pass. Such an attack would only cause chaos and the casualties of a dozen people were not worth mentioning. What he wanted was to tire out the enemy.
Lying down in the woods and waiting for the sound of insects to gradually start to sound, it is time to "hunt" again...
This night the Xiqiang people suffered a "catastrophe". As long as the attacks in the camp stopped, those black shadows would appear in the military camp. Even sending a large number of patrols was useless. These people seemed to disappear into the woods, leaving them alone.
Xian Lingtuoye led a group of people to search like crazy in the woods but still had no clue.
When the light of dawn faintly appeared, Ye An took Tieniu and others to evacuate. Although not many enemies were killed that night, the chaos caused was quite large. The Xiqiang people were unable to launch an effective attack today.
At this time, the Xiqiang people also discovered that the harassment of the Song army ended after dawn.
Pass, let these Song people who only know how to attack sneakily know how powerful our Xiqiang warriors are!"
The Xiqiang people were also simmering with anger. They had won many battles in Huanzhou. How come Ye An was so defeated when he arrived? They already knew the news of Ye An's arrival at Qingping Pass, although they were surprised by his marching speed.
Fast, but not scary.
It's just that they can't sleep well at night. Can Ye An let them sleep during the day?
