Chapter 23: Raid on Buyeo Castle
"It's so convenient, one day and one night, comparable to the speed of a war horse, which in the past, no one person can ride twice, and it can't be done at all." Zhang Zhongjian pulled off his mask, exhaled a breath of mist and said.
"The fighters are tired, take a rest and do it again!" Li Keshi also pulled down the mask and said.
"Good!"
With the order to trim down, the soldiers began to dig up the snow, piled it up all around, and set the carts on one side to cover the air, and soon became a snow hut, keeping the leeward side of the gate, and then took out one clay pot after another, poured out the black charcoal, the charcoal burned, not only did not smoke, but also lasted, this is specially prepared for this winter march, including food, cans of mutton, boiled out and put in the snow overnight, it was all frozen, to ensure that the clay pots were broken, None of the food inside will go bad.
Put it on the charcoal, and it won't take long for a burst of meat aroma to fill the snow room, and then throw a few pieces of cut frozen fish jerky, dried wild vegetables, tsk! It is more fragrant than some instant noodles.
If you put your skis horizontally and use them as a stool, you don't have to sit on the snow, and although it's a little crowded, it's not unacceptable, at least it's very warm, and you don't feel like you're in the snow.
"Xiao Yu, how long is your head, you can think of so many ideas." After eating a can of mutton and drinking nothing, Zhang Zhongjian sweated profusely, took off his hat, and said comfortably.
"Am I going to tell you that I saw it on TV?" Of course, Zou Yu wouldn't say that, he turned his head and explained: "I was thinking about the cellar, which is always very warm in winter, so I used the snow to pile one and tried it, and it was not bad." ”
"Mmmm, Brother Yu took us to try it a few days ago." Square straight.
"Warm!" Founder.
"As long as the method is good, you also have to learn a little, use your brains more, not to mention being as smart as Xiao Yu, at least as reliable as Xiao Su." Zhang Zhongjian said.
"Yes!" The two brothers honestly bowed their heads and agreed.
"Tell me, how to fight?" Li Keshi asked, holding a branch in his hand and drawing on the ground.
"Let's fight directly, in this weather, if you suddenly kill it, you shouldn't have much resistance." Zhang Zhongjian proposed.
"In my opinion, raiding at night can reduce casualties, and it's a big deal to spend a little more time." Liu Jin suggested.
"What about you? Any suggestions? Li Keshi turned his head and asked.
"The subordinates thought that it was better to divide the troops, gradually clean up the guards first, and after seizing the granary, there was no need to fight the Goguryeo people." Su Dingfang suggested.
"I thought I could synthesize everyone's opinions, first control the city gate, and then use the thunder to seize the city guard, and at the same time guard outside the barracks, come out and kill one by one." Zou Yu saw that he was looking at himself, so he said thoughtfully.
"It's a good solution, it's easier to defend than to attack, as long as you don't come out to make trouble, let them go, it's okay." Zhang Zhongjian agreed.
"The plan is not as good as the change, it is better to think of two more plans, the best can catch two officials, and you can interrogate the current situation in the city and Goguryeo." Zou Yu reminded.
"Yes, there is no certainty in the war, and there is no normalcy in the water! The battlefield is changing rapidly, fight first and then talk about it, the situation is not good, so we will retreat first, there are skis and snowboards, no one can catch up with us. Zhang Zhongjian made a decision.
After discussing it, it was decided to sleep for two hours first, just in time for the afternoon. Stay in the warm snow, right warm snow, no problem.
I closed my eyes and slept peacefully, running for a day and a night, and my iron body felt a little tired, even if I sat and fell asleep, I woke up and felt a lot more energetic.
Soon the people who woke up consciously began to tidy up, put on their gear, shoes, gloves, and masks, fasten them one by one, bundle their skis and snowboards, and stand neatly in the snow.
The thick snow made a "crunching" sound when stepping on it, and according to the previous discussion, the team was quickly divided, because the distribution of Buyeo City had been seen in the distance, and it was ten o'clock at noon, and according to the smoke, I also knew where there were many people.
The team was divided into three teams, Zhang Zhongjian took Zou Yu and others to take the lead, Li Keshi and Su Dingfang led 200 people from the left to besiege the military camp, and Liu Jin brought 50 people to guard the area of the city gate.
As Zhang Zhongjian took the lead in the charge, on the small hillside, groups of soldiers jumped down on skis and rushed towards the city at great speed.
"Brush, brush!" Like an arrow from the string, it rushed faster and faster, rushing towards the city, without slowing down at all, from a snowdrift outside the city, soaring into the sky.
This location has been chosen a long time ago, and it should be that the city deliberately cleared the snowdrifts on both sides in order to go out, and just set up a springboard for them, and rushed into the city without passing through the city gate at all.
This kind of operation, which has been practiced many times recently, can be said to be very easy, after entering the city, do not stop, follow the streets, and continue to move forward.
A few guards came out of the city gate, stunned to see groups of white figures, falling from the sky, staggered and running into the distance, and when they came back to their senses, they were stunned to find dozens of people holding weapons looking at them.
After an incomprehensible voice, a group of people rushed over with weapons, the guards with stiff hands and feet, and no weapons, died in such a daze, and the other guards who heard the screams soon followed in their footsteps, falling into the snow, blood like plum blossoms, slowly blooming.
The screams were blown away in the cold wind, and they couldn't reach far at all, and they didn't alarm anyone else at all, and on a snowy day, there wasn't even a beggar on the street, Zhang Zhongjian took the lead along the street and rushed to the official office in the center of the city.
On the other side, Li Keshi led people to the vicinity of the barracks, and wanted to kill, but he knew that there was no one there, so he estimated that all of them were hiding in the room to avoid the wind and snow, thought about it for a while, discussed with Su Dingfang, and unanimously decided to go in and assassinate.
Stepping on skis and bending over, he rushed into the barracks, and the little sound of skiing was also muffled in the cold wind.
This is an era of very poor materials, it can be said that many people can't imagine how poor it is, a family does not have a pot, a knife, that is a very normal thing, a pair of pants for couples who go out and who wears, this is not a joke, younger brothers and sisters will always wear the clothes that their brothers and sisters used to wear, as for the clothes of older brothers and sisters, it is changed from adults to small ones.
The whole world is not like the later generations, there are woods everywhere, except for some big mountains, more mountains are full of grass, small trees and barren grass are the main body, thatched huts and thatched houses, all the grass cut on the mountains, made into curtains, made of roofs.
There are not so many trees, often the wood fire is not enough to burn, so the winter fire, that is a very luxurious thing, most of the time, the common people are a family nest in the bed, so it is called Wodong.
