Zhao Xin got up at two o'clock in the night. He washed his face, brushed his teeth and made coffee.
After he made such a fuss, Liu Sheng, who was sleeping on the second floor of the car, also got up. In fact, Liu Sheng was not asleep either. The excitement before the battle made him lie on the bed and "turn the pie" back and forth.
After Sheng Haizhou and the others left yesterday, Zhao Xin finally asked a question he had been holding on to for a long time.
"Tell the truth, Comrade Liu. Have you ever killed anyone when you were a soldier?"
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. When he was performing missions at sea, the most he would do was fire a warning shot.
"Yes, they are all hot chickens." Zhao Xin thought after getting the answer.
At this time, Zhao Xin finished his coffee and began to disassemble the gun and perform pre-war maintenance. Liu Sheng saw that it was still early, so he came with him.
In order to ease the tension, Liu Sheng oiled the gun while telling an anecdote he had heard when he was a soldier: "Don't look at many people who have never touched a gun, but if you really want to give him a gun, it won't work for target shooting.
When you hit people, you hit them accurately."
"And this allusion? Who said it?"
"What the veteran said."
"Then you mean Katsu Kaishu and the other seven are all sharpshooters?"
"Jiuzang is not bad, the others are just like that."
After maintaining the pistol and assault rifle, the two removed the flash suppressor from the muzzle and installed the silencer. Then, they began to load the magazine.
To be on the safe side, Zhao Xin, who was afraid of running out of ammunition, prepared six magazines for himself and Liu Sheng, and four pistol magazines. Moreover, the guy also put a full box of rifle ammunition in his backpack.
Zhao Xin also put two first aid kits, a single-hole ranging telescope and a small tripod, a pack of compressed biscuits, two bottles of water, and a few pieces of chocolate in his backpack. Before going out, he took a small hand ax and inserted it into his backpack.
inside.
When Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng stepped out of the car wearing bulletproof helmets, their bloated looks shocked everyone waiting outside the door and gasped.
People who had never seen Zhao Xin dressed up like this were so frightened that they bowed and backed away.
"Are you all ready?" Zhao Xin's voice was muffled behind the helmet mask.
"My lord, everything is ready." Sheng Haizhou and Lu Shoushan said respectively.
"Set off."
"The master will win!!!" Shino, Wan Zao's wife and a group of men, women and children suddenly shouted at Zhao Xin's back.
"Nah..." Zhao Xin, who was caught off guard, was startled by the shouts of the people behind him, and suddenly sprained his foot.
Liu Sheng on the side did not dare to laugh. In order to maintain the glorious image of Master Zhao, he held it in really hard, so he had to pretend to cough a few times.
…
At 2:00 a.m. (six o'clock in the morning), after Tomohuoguo got up, Goshiha had prepared face wash and green salt for him to wash up.
All the soldiers have gotten up and packed up. The flagmen have cooked a large pot of corn for breakfast before departure, and the horses have all been fed fodder.
After a hurried breakfast, the leaders of each team below came to report that everyone was ready, please give orders.
"Have the marching orders been reiterated?" Tuomohuoguo said without raising his head while holding the water bowl.
"Yes. I've already said everything." The leader who was kneeling on the ground answered with his hands raised.
"Then let's go." Tomohuoguo took the helmet from Goshiha.
The difference from other people's helmets is that the top of his helmet (just above the "lightning rod") is a piece of black otter tail hair, with a drooping black hair cap, and then the helmet plate base and the front and rear beams below.
Decorated with silver cloud and dragon patterns.
As for the top of the leader's helmet, it is a small gourd; while the top of the ordinary armored soldier's helmet is a small spear point. There is a black hair treasure cover underneath, but there is no decorative decoration.
Tomohuoguo has a collar with a yellow flag, so he and his one hundred armored soldiers wear yellow foam-studded cotton armor, and the edges of the armor are wrapped with red cloth strips. On his own cotton armor, on the chest, back and
Both shoulders are embroidered with a picture of a group of pythons.
Following his order, the sound of armored horses' hooves sounded in the camp. One hundred armored soldiers led their horses out of the camp in order of each team. Under the guidance of the sentinels, they mounted their horses and headed south.
At a quarter past midnight (7:30), the large group of people began to cross the ice of the strait in batches, preparing to land on Bear Island.
Less than an hour later, Tomohuoguo had already led all the soldiers to stand on the beach of Bear Island.
At this time, at the edge of the woods, a flag flag waved a few times, and two sentries rode out of the woods.
The two walked to Tomohuoguo, dismounted and knelt down on one knee, saying: "Sir, a hundred steps away in the forest, I found two damaged wooden sheds. The ashes of the bonfire in the shed were still warm. I think it was the fugitive who was waiting to see our army.
It came from the ice and has escaped to the island."
"Yeah." Tuomohuoguo nodded and said to Geshiha beside him: "Go over and have a look."
Led by the sentinels, a group of people entered the forest and came to the damaged wooden shed.
Tomohuoguo was an excellent archer, so his eyes were very sharp, and he saw the iron wire tied to the scattered wood at a glance. He squatted down, stretched out his hand, pulled out a section, and broke it with his fingers, and was startled.
"Huh? The quality of this iron is so good!" Tomohuoguo stood up and looked towards the south. "Who are those people doing business on the island?"
"Sir, we have found traces of the fugitives. Their sledges crossed the ice and headed south!" A soldier rushed up on horseback. Before he could get off his horse, he shouted hurriedly from a few dozen steps away.
"Chase!" Tuomo Huoguo got on his horse and took out the big bow from Gao (gao, the same pitch. A bag containing bows and arrows). All the armored soldiers also mounted their horses, and with Master Zuoling as the center, they spread out into wild geese.
The fin array chased southward.
Lu Shoushan and Elu, before seeing the soldiers coming from the opposite side of the ice, began to demolish the wooden shed and extinguish the fire in the wooden shed, creating the illusion that they fled south quickly when they discovered the arrival of the soldiers.
These two people were a pair of foolish and bold people. Lu Shoushan asked Erlu to park the horse-drawn sledge on the south side of the northern bay of Bear Island, waiting for the Qing soldiers to discover them. As a result, when the flags in the forest on the opposite side waved, dozens of armored soldiers
When they rushed out on horseback, these two people actually refused to leave.
Lu Shoushan stood on the beach, raised his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly in Chinese to the other side of the bank: "Foolish officers and soldiers! I am your ancestor! Come if you dare!"
When Elu saw Lu Shoushan shouting to the other side, he guessed that he was cursing. Then he followed Lu Shoushan's example and started to curse loudly to the other side.
The curses of the two men echoed in the winter wilderness and were clearly heard by the armored soldiers on the opposite side. After the armored soldiers heard this, several of them immediately started to curse at the opposite side.
There was no wind at this time, so one of the leaders dipped his hand into some saliva and tested the wind direction. Then he sneered, dismounted, took out a walking bow and a Sauron whistle arrow with red tail feathers from his horse, and walked a few steps forward.
He took a few steps, estimated the distance a little, raised his hand and leaned forward and shot an arrow.
A sharp and crisp whistling sound rose from the beach on the north shore and struck the ice when it was still six hundred steps away from the other shore.
"Okay!" The soldiers around him cheered loudly.
This leader had strong arms and used a 130-pound recurve bow. He threw the arrow nearly 400 meters. It is said that the ancient army fired arrows to scare the enemy and indicate the direction and distance of the attack.
"The two of you will lead a team and wait here to monitor the movements on the south bank." Tomohuoguo ordered to the two leaders around him. "Everyone else is here, dismount! Lead the horse over!"
On the north bank, two squads of twenty people were left; the remaining eighty armored soldiers, led by Tomo Huoguo, all dismounted and walked towards the ice.
When Lu Shoushan saw that the officers and soldiers had led their horses onto the ice and were about to come over, he immediately patted Er Lu on the shoulder and signaled that they could go. The two got on the sledge and headed towards the valley to the south.
The ambush location Liu Sheng chose was located at a bell mouth of the river valley. At the northeast end of the bell mouth, tall rocks on both sides compressed the entire river channel into a channel that was only more than 20 meters wide and more than 30 meters long;
After passing here and heading southwest, the view suddenly widens, with low rocks and dry bushes on both sides.
When the horse-drawn sledge came out of the bell mouth, Lu Shoushan first waved vigorously towards the bushes on both sides, and then patted Elu on the shoulder. Elu understood, and then slowly tightened the reins, and the horse finally stopped at more than 200 meters.
Stopped outside.
The two got off the sledge, and Hengji ran out from behind the rocks on the shore, took the whip from Elu's hand, and drove the sledge toward the southwest.
After Sheng Haizhou and the others saw Lu Shoushan waving, they immediately got up from the dug snow pit. They carried several plastic buckets filled with cooking oil, walked to the bushes behind them, and poured the oil on them.
Bundles of hay and dead branches have been tied up.
Seeing that they were almost done, Sheng Haizhou gave an order, and everyone took the empty buckets and returned to their respective snow pits to hide, and covered them with camouflage made of dead branches and snow.
At this time, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were located fifty meters southwest of where Sheng Haizhou and the others were hiding, and two hundred meters away from the center of the river.
Zhao Xin lay alone in the grass on the bank of the bank, put the rifle on his backpack, and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the trumpet; Liu Sheng was lying in ambush in the grass on the other side. After discussion, the two decided that Liu Sheng would be the driver.
First shot.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, wait a moment and I'll let you fight whichever one you want. You're done."
"I got it. Stop talking. Over."
At this moment, Zhao Xin mounted a LEUPOLD tactical single-hole rangefinder telescope on a low tripod and connected it to his mobile phone. This way he did not have to put down the gun and hold up the telescope for observation. This kind of telescope is actually specially designed for hunting.
For use, the maximum field of view is 910 meters, and the magnification is 20-60 times.
Thirty minutes later, the sound of horse hooves came from the side of the trumpet, indicating that the Qing soldiers had arrived.
Zhao Xin looked from his cell phone and saw that walking at the front was a ten-man team, led by a leader. The armor soldiers behind held up the leader's pennant. Immediately following, there were two other teams, each holding a leader's pennant.
Leading the team flag, the three teams completed the formation and moved forward slowly.
Behind the three leading teams, a soldier riding on a horse was holding a large apricot-yellow pentagonal flag. The edge of the flag was wrapped with a red strip of cloth. There was no pattern on the flag.
On a tall horse behind him, a general who was dressed obviously differently from all the armored soldiers came out slowly. Behind him were dozens of armored soldiers riding horses. Next to these armored soldiers were a dozen unrided horses. Look.
Come as a spare.
"Hey, they are all covered with yellow flags." Zhao Xin muttered.
Zhao Xin moved the telescope and focused on the general.
The general said something to the person next to him, and then the pentagonal flag moved a little in the direction of the team. The pennants of each team responded and moved a little forward. The whole team slowly moved in the direction of Zhao Xin and the others.
Come.
Through the ranging readings of the telescope, Zhao Xin saw that the general with the yellow flag had arrived three hundred meters away from him, and he immediately pressed the walkie-talkie.
"Old Liu, did you see that guy with short black hair on his helmet? It's behind the yellow flag. Over."
Liu Sheng moved the scope and searched before and after Zuo Ling's banner.
"Is it the guy with the pattern on his chest? Over."
"Yes, the guy with dragons embroidered on his chest and shoulders. Finished." Zhao Xin had never seen a python pattern before, he thought it was a dragon pattern.
"No problem. Over."
To be honest, Liu Sheng was also very nervous. After all, this was the first time he had shot someone. In the past, he had performed escort missions in the Middle East, and the most serious one was just a warning shot, with a few shots hitting the bow of the opponent's ship.
However, he was still a little excited amidst the nervousness. In other words, I can finally hit someone without having to bear legal responsibility.
But he forgot that if he was caught in this time and space, it would be very difficult...
