Chapter 235: Sneak Attack on the Armory
Western Xia, the northwest foothills of Xingqing Province.
Although it is less than 50 miles away from the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, it is sparsely populated. In the past, there were 5,000 troops stationed here, but now the 5,000 troops have followed Richard to the east of Liao, and the people stationed here have become 2,000 men and horses who have just been transferred from other places.
The 2,000 men and horses guarding here are a bit less, because this is the most important casting place in the Western Xia Kingdom, and the world-famous cold forging armor and Xia State swords are produced from here. It can be said that this is the lifeblood of the Western Xia army.
But now there can't be too many people here, because the secret here is only known to the 5,000 troops under Richard brother, and the other armies and generals don't know; If you put too many people here, the secret could be leaked.
And these 2,000 men and horses are the direct personal soldiers of Tuoba Tiecheng, the younger brother of Richard's side concubine. Tuoba Tiecheng was one of Richard's most trusted people, and this time he was sent to guard the Liao Kingdom instead of following Richard to the east. Of course, Zhao Huan and the others didn't know about this situation, but Lu Jiang must know.
And the reason why Zhao Huan was able to know this secret was that it took Lu Jiang, Shi Qian, Xiao Rang, and Yan Shun three months to investigate, and it was not until 10 days ago that the map was transmitted to Tokyo. For this reason, the four of them consumed as much as 30,000 taels of silver to buy the craftsmen of Western Xia.
In order to find out this place, a lot of money was paid, and the purpose was today's operation.
Halfway up the mountain, Zhao Huan and the others had been waiting patiently here for an afternoon, until it was about to dusk, and the three thousand warriors in Hebei were all ready.
"Strategist, what are we waiting for? Wouldn't it be enough to kill him by surprise? ”
E Quanzhong asked a little impatiently. Ever since he was beaten by Zhao Huan on the road, he has been in a state of excitement as if he had been set on fire; Not only him, but most of Parson and 3000 warriors are similar.
They were the pride of the whole state, and this pride made them never allow anyone to look down on them, even though they knew that no one looked down on them now.
According to their thoughts, one person has a short knife, quietly slips over and goes directly to wipe the neck to dry, one person has a set of cold forging armor and Xia Guo sword, and runs directly after the work, where do the Xixia people go to chase it?
However, the six brothers Zhang Cheng and Zhang De were not in a hurry at all, as if they were waiting for something; And without the orders of these six brothers, they would not dare to act on their own now.
"Don't worry! Soon! ”
Zhao Huan didn't know the specific situation of the defenders here, he only knew that the 5,000 defenders here were the elite foot soldiers of Western Xia, and they had to go to Liao according to the agreement, so the defenders here must have just been dispatched. According to the plan, General Lu and the others want to find out the situation here, and then find a way to lure the main general away, so that it can be convenient for Zhao Huan and them to start.
Therefore, Zhao Huan must wait, otherwise it will be easy to suffer a big loss if he rushes in.
After waiting for a while, when it was dark, a torch suddenly came from the southeast, and the defenders brought the man in, and soon the chief general of this army hurriedly walked out of the camp with people, hurriedly got on his horse and went straight to Xingqing City.
It's done!
Zhao Huan was overjoyed.
At this moment, a little starlight appeared in the distance, this starlight was like a firefly, flying in a mess, and the 3,000 warriors didn't pay attention, but Zhao Huan and the six people saw it clearly.
It looks like it's flying around, but in fact, the trajectory of that little bit of light is a Chinese character, which is one of the secret words of the Military Command Department.
The meaning conveyed by this starlight is: 2,000 defenders, garrisoned yesterday, mid-to-high combat strength, the main general Tuoba Tiecheng has rushed back to Xingqing City due to the poisoning of his son; This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is only one entrance and exit in the barracks.
"Ready to go!"
"Okay! Just wait for these 4 words brother! ”
Zhao Huan gave an order, and the 3,000 warriors turned into three teams, quietly touched the mountain, and soon disappeared.
Subsequently, Zhao Huan, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng each carried a halberd, and slowly walked to the Xixia military camp step by step, and when they were a hundred zhang away, they had been discovered by the Xixia army.
"Who? What for? ”
A defender on the sentry tower shouted and asked, and Zhao Huan and the three turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Dangdang! Come! Come on! There are three people sneaking up here, and when they hear the question, they run away, there must be a problem! Get them here! ”
The defender shouted loudly under the watchtower as he struck the gong, and soon fifty or sixty horsemen came after him.
"There it is!"
The cavalry general led by him saw three figures from a distance, and this was the target, so he did not hesitate to lead people to chase after him. After chasing for about a mile, the figures of the three men got closer and closer, and the cavalry was excited to speed up at a glance.
Plop Plop Plop –
The sound of falling heavily to the ground sounded one after another, and most of the fifty or sixty Western Xia cavalrymen were crushed under their horses due to the sudden tripping of their mounts.
"Kill!"
A low roar sounded on each side, and thousands of people surrounded them, wiping the necks of the fallen cavalrymen one by one; The dozen or so cavalrymen who did not fall to the ground were about to fight, and a string of feather arrows flew up, and the dozen or so cavalrymen were killed immediately before they could even scream.
"Good archery! I have never seen such a wonderful archery in my life! ”
E Quanzhong praised Chen Liqing, and then led people to rip off the clothes of those Western Xia soldiers from the corpses, and pulled up those war horses, and in a blink of an eye, these more than 50 "Western Xia soldiers" were resurrected with full blood.
Led by Zhao Huan, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Chen Liqing.
"Quickly set up traps, and I'll take them in! Remember! You can't let a Western Xia soldier out! ”
Zhao Huan explained to Le He, E Quanzhong and Bai Sen, and then turned around and killed him. In addition to Zhao Huan and the four others, the other more than forty warriors also selected those with better riding skills, and rushed to the barracks of the Western Xia Army excitedly one by one.
"Grandma drops! Such an exciting thing, Lao Tzu can only watch it, it's so annoying! ”
E Quanzhong was about to move, and he also wanted to follow him to kill inside, but he knew that he was going to lead people outside with Bai Sen to intercept the fleeing Xixia soldiers, and he had to hold back in such a hurry.
"Old E! Now is not the time to have fun! We came all the way from Bingzhou to get here, not to kill these hundreds of people; It must be ensured that none of the Western Xia soldiers inside can escape, otherwise there will be brothers' lives here! Everything is up to the military advisor! ”
Parson whispered beside him.
Compared with E Quanzhong, Bai Sen is not only strong in martial arts, but also wise and foolish, and Zhao Huan thinks that he is a rare general.
"Quick! Tripping horses! ”
"Twigs! Chop down branches to block the road! ”
"All the stones over there have been moved! Build a low wall! Fast! ”
……
Le He and Liu Huiniang kept giving orders, and soon an iron cage-like defense line appeared in the mountain pass.
