After receiving Li Zhen's order, Yang Banhou returned to his camp and immediately summoned his generals to discuss matters. After explaining Li Zhen's order clearly, Yang Banhou went to select a battalion of soldiers.
Soon, Yang Banhou led the soldiers out of the camp in the wind and snow.
A group of more than 300 people braved heavy snow and hurried on in the ice and snow. It took Yang Banhou two days to lead a battalion of soldiers under his command to the place where Shi Dakai's army was stationed. Shi Dakai's army was not moving very fast and walked a long way. , we had to stop and rest for a while, because Shi Dakai wanted to recruit more soldiers, so he kept stopping and going.
Not only that, Shi Dakai would put up notices wherever he went, telling his helplessness, which won the sympathy of countless soldiers. In addition, Shi Dakai had unparalleled prestige in the army. When the two were combined, Shi Dakai only had to raise his arms and shout. , soldiers gathered wherever they went.
Yang Banhou hid with more than 300 soldiers and looked at the camp where Shi Dakai's army was stationed from a distance. When he saw Shi Dakai's camp, his expression was solemn. From the distribution of the military camp, Shi Dakai's layout was strict and no one could take advantage of it. There is almost no chance for the machine, especially if Yang Banhou wants to harass him.
"Captain, Shi Dakai's military camp is heavily guarded. What should we do?"
Next to him, the battalion commander brought by Yang Banhou said.
Yang Banhou said: "No matter what difficulties there are, we must complete the task. This time, I, Lu Shaochuan and Smith acted at the same time. As the first group, if we cannot complete it, wouldn't it prove that we are worse than them?"
The battalion commander said in embarrassment: "However, we only have more than 300 people, and Shi Dakai is not an ordinary person. It may be difficult to complete the harassment."
After hearing what the camper said, Yang Banhou's face suddenly fell.
He stared closely at the battalion commander and said in a deep voice: "The commander raised you to complain everywhere. The first rule of the army is to obey orders. Since you have received an order, you must obey it unconditionally. Now, consider The most important thing is how to harass the other side and cause confusion in the morale of the Taiping Army. The purpose of our trip is not to annihilate how many bandits. It is to make Shi Dakai's military morale disorganized. If you say anything that disrupts the morale of the army, I will be the first to kill you."
The battalion commander was dismayed and did not dare to speak anymore.
Yang Banhou ordered: "The weather is cold. Let brothers wear more clothes. There will be action at night. Let's wait for a while and see if there is any opportunity at night."
The battalion commander gave the order, and soldiers from a battalion ambush and watched Shi Dakai's camp.
Throughout the whole day, Yang Banhou did not move at all, because Shi Dakai's military camp was indeed well-trained, and the soldiers in the camp braved the severe cold to train, which was evident.
At night, the cold wind howled and heavy snow fell everywhere.
The soldiers under Yang Banhou had snow on their heads and their bodies were covered with snow slag. Yang Banhou looked through the telescope and found that there were four groups of soldiers patrolling Shi Dakai's camp. They were very strict and arranged like an iron tunnel. Yang Banhou It is simply impossible for Hou to harass him.
"This Shi Dakai is really a hedgehog."
Yang Banhou sighed in his heart, but the expression on his face was still one of wisdom, without showing the slightest worry. This also made the soldiers who followed Yang Banhou feel a little relieved.
"Captain, look, there is a broom star in the sky."
The dark night suddenly lit up, and dense meteors streaked across the sky, lighting up the night sky.
Yang Banhou waved his hand and said: "If there is anything to pay attention to, it has nothing to do with us."
"No, it's coming in our direction."
Yang Banhou's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Be careful, cheer me up, don't panic, and deal with it carefully. Although it is coming in this direction, it is definitely not coming towards us." Yang Banhou also felt in his heart. He was uneasy because it was the first time he encountered such a situation. He watched the broom-shaped meteors flying towards him, getting closer and closer.
He even heard the rumbling sound breaking through the air.
"Commander, the broomstick went towards the camp where the bandits were found." The battalion commander looked surprised and opened his mouth.
Yang Banhou looked around and saw a meteorite falling, falling impartially towards the Taiping Army's camp.
"boom,."
There was a loud noise on the ground, and Yang Banhou clearly felt the ground shaking twice.
Immediately, the other meteors also fell down.
"Rumble,,,."
Continuous sounds came, and Yang Banhou felt that the ground was extremely bumpy and shaking. He even felt that the ground seemed to be knocked and kept vibrating. He watched waves of meteors falling on the ground. , was attracted by this scene, but except for the first meteor that fell on the Taiping Army camp, the rest fell on the way to the Jiangbei camp.
"It's a pity that if they all fall on the Taiping Army camp, I won't have to take action."
Yang Banhou sighed and felt regretful.
"Captain, Shi Dakai's army is in chaos. If we take the opportunity to attack by surprise, we might have a chance." The battalion commander suggested with an excited expression on his face, eager to try.
Yang Banhou pointed at the camp and said in a cold voice: "You see clearly, they still have soldiers on guard. Shi Dakai's army has countless soldiers. We can't be exposed, otherwise the next thing will be very difficult. Let's go and see what happened in other places." s things."
Yang Banhou was moved in his heart and retreated with a battalion of soldiers under his command.
At this time, the Taiping Army's camp was indeed a bit chaotic.
Shi Dakai was also awakened. Wearing a thick coat and a cloak, he came to the place where the meteorite landed. At this time, there was a stone the size of a millstone in the crater. Many places on the surface of this meteorite were pitted. , but there are also places that are as smooth as a mirror. The ground around the meteorite has a large crater due to the huge impact.
Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers did not pass by this area and were not injured.
Shi Dakai looked at the meteorite in the pit with a solemn expression. Immediately, Shi Da laughed heartily and said joyfully: "Brothers, as soon as we left Tianjing, a miracle happened. This is obviously a sign from God. Heavenly Father used this miracle to The traces tell us that it is right for us to leave Tianjing on this trip, as this big stone will surely poke a big hole in the Qing Dynasty."
After Shi Dakai finished speaking, he felt a little far-fetched.
But he was also quite proud that he could think of a way to deal with it in a short time and used it to encourage the soldiers in the army. He was very proud in his heart. The soldiers around him already admired Shi Dakai. When they heard Shi Dakai's words, they did not study it carefully. Among the questions, he directly agreed with this statement and cheered loudly.
Shi Dakai clenched his fist and shouted: "Destroy the Manchus and expel the Tatars."
"Destroy the Manchus and expel the Tatars."
"Destroy the Manchus and expel the Tatars."
…
The soldiers in the army roared, and the entire military camp was filled with a soaring momentum. All the soldiers worked together because of a meteorite that fell in the camp, and the military spirit was united. Shi Dakai waved his hand and said: "This big stone is the symbol of Heavenly Father." The prophecy given to us is a reward from Heavenly Father. Come and build a carriage, put the big stone in the carriage, and follow us forward."
After the soldiers received the order, Shi Dakai turned around and returned to the camp.
He had a proud look on his face and was extremely happy in his heart, because the soldiers gathered halfway were not trained after all. With this, a lot of things would be saved.
