207: Night Attack
"Got it figured?"
"I've figured it out."
The spear rubbed the barrel of the gun, felt the slippery slurry, and slowly expressed his doubts: "This Wuguan Road is not easy to walk, once you enter the West Gorge, it is difficult for the horses to turn around, if the enemy army hears the wind and stops the mouth of the gorge, we will become a turtle in the urn." ”
The spear was cautious, and he didn't say much at the meeting, and only after the meeting did he find a reason to talk to Jiayin about his concerns.
With the flower gun, Jia Yin will be accustomed to pulling out a knife to wipe it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhou Xiang of Dengzhou didn't dare to send troops, and after handing over, his courage is gone, he really dares to come, you and I know very well how the combat power is, only the cavalry sent by the pseudo-Song Dynasty to snipe our department can come after hearing the news."
But where did the cavalry come from, either from Bianjing or from Luoyang, five or six hundred miles away, even if the enemy cavalry had already set off, it would take at least four days to arrive in a straight line, and if the enemy general was cautious, he might not be able to arrive in six or seven days.
Therefore, if our army has time, it will be able to reach Wuguan City in four days by fighting one pass a day. ”
"You are not a clay sculpture when the defenders, the guide has made it very clear, each of the first four passes has a battalion of men and horses stationed, and the troops on the Wuguan are more, we are not familiar with the geographical advantages, and they are all cavalry, this kind of short soldiers intersect, it is their own shortcomings, attacking the enemy's strengths, in case they can't advance smoothly, and the back road is blocked, what should I do?"
"Didn't I say it, after the first Manchuan Pass was laid, it was used as a horse farm, except for the generals and scouts, all the other horses were left, marching on foot, if something really didn't work, people withdrew, the horsepower was sufficient, and in front of this pass, there is still a certain vertical and horizontal space, if the horse team is difficult to become a momentum, then the enemy's horse team is useless, the big guy just fights."
The spear did not let go of his brows because of Jia Yin's easy answer, but locked it tighter, "People have dry food, which can last for five or six days, what about horse food, more than 7,000 war horses, what to eat?" ”
"This Wuguan Road, also called Shang Yu Dao, after the pass, there are many post stations, there are also many houses, there are post stations and there are forage, no matter how bad it is, drive the people to keep food, and then compensate the people after winning the war."
“……”
"What's the matter, isn't it?"
"You...... It's changed. ”
Jia Yin shook his wrist, looked at the black silk like a snake wrapped around the back of his hand, pressed his thumb on his head, vibrated his knife, and scolded with a smile: "Change, take Nanyang to the north, the same to disturb the people, and the war is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, Jiulang has changed is true, if it was two years earlier, it would be strange if he didn't drink tea in Chang'an City now, he should be ruthless, and he has to be ruthless, how do you say that...... It's better to call long pain than labor pain, don't talk about it, let's practice two. ”
“……”
Three thousand cavalry occupied the city, such a big move could not be hidden, Jiayin did not want to hide it, only locked up the county order, and then summoned the squires to tell them directly, we are the officers and soldiers of Daqin, we are here to rest the horse, one does not break the door, the second does not plunder wealth, the third does not rob the sex, at most two days will leave, if you want to drive us away quickly, then prepare more horse food, prepare more dry food.
Then, the inner village Shishu was dumbfounded, the best corn and the best soybeans were originally used by people to feed horses, and people were still hungry.
Gradually, there were rumors that this horse soldier was going to raid Bianjing City, and I heard that the eggs bought were also prepared for the horses on the road.
Some people also asked, since people are going to the capital, why do they come to our inner countryside, shouldn't they go out of Nanyang?
Stupid, the soldiers are treacherous, the sound of the east and the west, and the left and right are the tactics.
The defenders of Manchuan Pass also learned the news of the loss of the county seat for the first time, and when they heard that the enemy army was all horsemen, they gradually loosened their minds, the city is not better than the county seat, the county seat of the inner township is low, not to mention, there are some township soldiers guarding the city, it is easy to break, but the pass is different, how can it become a pass if it is not dangerous, and the strong ballista cannon stone is ready to roll oil, do not need to panic, I have never seen a pure horse soldier to tackle the problem, not even a ladder to the city, what to attack.
Besides, it's still far away, more than thirty miles away, and a fool will lead a horse soldier into a ravine.
PS: At that time, the inner countryside was in the current West Gorge, and Manchuan Pass was still west of the West Gorge.
It was precisely because of such and such thoughts that the three thousand Qin rode in the inner countryside for two days to rest, but they did not attract the attention of the Song army guarding the pass.
How could he have expected that the main general of Qin Cavalry was a non-common sense player, who was making a bonfire party here, singing loudly, and the unlucky Qi Sanduo led three hundred pioneers into the night after only wetting his lips with two bowls of wine.
This goes to the West Gorge, the road is still easy to walk, the night of the second quarter of the moon, when people are asleep, Qi Sanduo has led his troops to Manchuan Pass.
Manchuan Pass, because of the mountainous situation, the three valley roads in front of the pass converge here, this pass has been peaceful for decades, so the military use has been retreated to the second place, collecting taxes to make money is the first priority, this is closed to the nerve is also paralyzed, although there is a big enemy stationed in the county, but here is on duty at night at the head of the city, less than a person.
The large army hid in the riverside meadow out of sight of the city.
Qi Sanduo and the flower spear and Shi Heyun, who were wronged as his deputies, quietly sneaked forward, crouched on the left side of the road, calmly observed, came back after a full quarter of an hour, and ordered softly: "Wait for the next three teams to be responsible for rocketing the enemy, and General Shi and General Hua will lead the team to climb first, and the other brothers will attack it with all their might, and install the ladder to climb the city, sixteen sections." ”
"No."
The members of the raiding force quickly opened the carry-on package, this three-foot-long round package was carried by each person, but it was poured out with four wooden sticks, two thick round, two square flattened, the thick round ladder body was half-loosely stuck with iron rings, but the two ends were cut and sawn, the upper tenon, the lower part of the eye, but it was a section of the ladder to climb the city.
This is a masterpiece of the craftsman's workshop, all the parts of the ladder are the same, can be quickly assembled, and then wrapped with an iron ring that can be opened and closed, and then fixed with hexagonal screws, usually each person carries a section, or let the pack horse carry it, when you want to use it, you can quickly connect it one by one, very firm.
Soon, the four siege ladders were spliced together, and after a quarter of an hour's rest, they each tied their leggings, gathered their cuffs, put on their armor, and poured another sip of spirits, and then they got up one after another, and touched the city with their waists bent.
At the sound of an arrow, the defenders at the head of the city let out an exclamation, and then a police gong sounded.
"Rush ......"
Since it was discovered, there was only a charge, Qi Sanduo raised his shield knife, and the tiger roared to take the lead, and then there was a "chirping" sound in the air, and rockets roared towards the city hood, screaming, frightened, chaotic.
The lethality of the rocket is actually like that, the exploding iron nails fly wildly, if it is not for the throat and other key parts, it is only a minor injury if it is really injured, and it is useless in front of the top of a shield, but this thing is full of momentum, sparks and loud noises, and I have never seen the defenders of this power panic into headless flies.
Qi Sanduo led his troops to rush to the city, and stopped the momentum with a sound, but he squatted into a horse step, and helped with the help of Zhangyuan's spear, and borrowed force on his shoulder, and the person flew up like a big bird, raised his arm in the air, and hooked the hook like lightning to the city, and then borrowed the force, the person had turned over to the city, and a shot swept away the defenders, only two steps ahead, Shi Heyun had roared and followed, a knife and a gun, under the combined attack, no one could stop it.
The Qin army successfully landed in the city.
At this time, the guard general Lu Chongcai got up from the bed in a panic, and when he heard that the enemy army had entered the pass, Jia Du fled in a hurry without putting on his clothes, and ran to the back pass.
Qi Sanduo went to the city, patted his shoulders vigorously, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is fat, but you don't need to be so vigorous when you kick your legs." ”
Shi Heyun rolled his eyes: "The enemy has fled, whether you can chase or not, you are the main general, speak." ”
"Of course chase, you go, occupy the back pass, and you will live."
“……”
"You've said it all, I'm the main general, haha......"
Qi Sanduo took the mace from the hand of the guard, and became majestic again.
……
At the beginning of the next day, Jia Yin also arrived with the main force, but as soon as he entered the customs, his face darkened.
It's a shame.
The guide I was looking for, I didn't ask clearly, I only asked how many passes there are in the west of Neixiang County, but I don't know that Jingzi Pass and Zhulin Pass don't have to fight at all, because these two passes are just the name of the post station, and then go west along Danshui, and then go to Baiyang Pass, and after Baiyang Pass, it is Wuguan.
The Bauhinia Pass, which really has garrisons, is on the Bauhinia Mountain more than 40 miles to the south, while the Zhulin Pass is even farther away, nesting in the Funiu Mountain, which is the pass of anti-theft guards.
Qi Sanduo said with a smile: "This time I asked clearly, the reason why I use the name of the pass as the post name is because the industry counts the two passes, otherwise, they are both guarding the pass, why don't there be oil and water in those two passes." ”
", go back and beat Tang Dong, draw pictures all day long, and don't label this situation."
"Uncle Huzi, Brother Dong has drawn a lot of small copies of small pictures, but we didn't bring ...... Ahhh......h
Jia Yin struck Bao Chao on the head, and raised his sword: "Non-stop, the back team is the front team, Lao Tzu wants to beat Baiyang into a sheep." ”
