Chapter 968: Backyard Fire (1)

In the night when you can't see your fingers, the drizzle flies and falls on people, and the cold air penetrates through the clothes and invades the body. The soldiers who were supposed to stand guard at the top of the fort also shrank into the fort.

The wind and rain in October, although it is not cold to the bone, but after soaking for a long time, it can make people fall ill unconsciously.

More than a dozen black shadows, but in such a night, silently approached this fortress. Five men set up a ladder, and the other climbed up the ladder with agility to the top, just touching the edge of the fort with both hands. With the strength of his arms, he climbed up like an ape, and soon a rope ladder was lowered, and others climbed up the rope ladder in an instant.

There was a slight movement in the castle, but in the blink of an eye, it was calm again.

A little incense was lit at the top of the fort and several circles were drawn in the direction of Weihu Mountain.

The rain was still falling, the night was still calm, and nothing seemed to have happened.

From Wulitun to Weiwu Mountain, there are five such forts, their role is to alert the movement on Weihu Mountain, once the bandits on Weiwu Mountain have movement, these fortresses can immediately ignite wolf smoke and warn Wulitun.

Wulitun was a cantonment point of the Liao army. It is not only a cantonment, but also a blockade of the bandits on the mighty mountain. The difference between this tunzi and the ordinary cantonment points is that the people are all militarized. The tun people, who are full of 2,000 people, if they defend the tun, are enough to make Weiwu Mountain helpless.

You must know that Weihu Mountain now only has 3,000 soldiers.

However, Liuhe County, not far from Wulitun, still has 5,000 people stationed there.

The 5,000 men and horses stationed in Liuhe County, although not the most elite troops on the front line, are also second-line teams with certain combat effectiveness, not only responsible for the security of the entire Liaozhou, but also responsible for the heavy responsibility of transporting grain and grass to the front line.

Liuhe is the largest transit station for Yingzhou to deliver grain and grass to the front line.

In order to ensure the safety of this area and prevent the bandits of Weiwu Mountain from taking advantage of the fire to rob, while launching a major war, the Liao army also mobilized several Fan tribes that depended on them for survival, and moved these tribes to the left near the entire land. The number of people that can be mobilized by each team is only a few hundred, but these hundreds of people are all cavalry, and the cavalry team of nearly 2,000 people is quite a strong force in Liaozhou at the moment.

With Wulitun as the outpost, 2,000 cavalry as the mobile, and 5,000 second-line soldiers and horses as the backup, in the opinion of Zhang Zhongwen and Zhang Zhongwu, it has been able to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The five forts were uprooted in almost the same way in the same period of time. All along, the silence on the mighty mountain made the Liao troops stationed in this area relax their vigilance. In the past two years, Weiwu Mountain has rarely descended, and it has made people forget how they defeated the Liao army that invaded them in the first place.

Liu Yan and Fan Jian walked into the last fort, the knife in Fan Tong's hand was still bloody, and inside the fort, the corpses of more than a dozen Liao soldiers were stacked together, and the blood was dripping and flowing.

"Everything is normal on which side of Wulitun!" Fan Tong wiped the knife in his hand and said, "What kid in the Yellow Sea, I'm afraid he's still drinking and having fun!" ”

Liu Yan took a sip and said, "This Wang Ba, who has eaten and drunk me all these years, this time, he will all vomit it out for me." Fan Er, what's going on with Xiao Jing? ”

"After our attack on Wulitun is launched, he will take his men and attack the other two divisions, everything has been arranged, and the battle can be ended before dawn." Fan Tongdao.

"The key is whether you can attract Zhang Wan from Liuhe!" Liu Yan said: "Zhang Wan has 5,000 soldiers in his hands, if Lai doesn't come out of the city, we are really helpless." ”

"He's definitely going to come out." Fan Jian said with a smile: "He can't afford to lose Wulitun and release us from Weiwu Mountain, so when we hit Wulitun, our movements are bigger." ”

Liu Yan nodded, looked back at the troops who were following up with the black pressure, and waved his hand: "The target is Wulitun, attack on all fronts!" ”

As a semi-militarized reclamation point, the protection of Wulitun is quite perfect, outside the residence of the people, there is a trench about one zhang wide, several feet deep, outside the trench, is a rammed earth wall more than one person high, every more than 100 steps, there is a watchtower, above the watchtower, there is a strong crossbow. In addition to the rammed earth bungalows where ordinary residents live, there is also a main fort that is made of bricks, and the main fort can accommodate more than 100 soldiers.

However, no matter how good the defensive facilities are, they also need people to improve, and when the people stationed inside do not operate according to the regulations, then no matter how good the defense is, it is just a virtual reality.

Just like the current Wulitun, the bandits on Weihu Mountain have touched the outside of the tun, and they are still unaware. Above the watchtower, some of the people who were supposed to watch the sentry did not know where to hide, and the rest of the place was shrouded in darkness except for the lights on the top floor of the main fort.

Huang Hai, the supreme commander of the Wulitun reclamation point, was in Hutian Hudi at this time.

As the first line of defense to contain the mountain bandits in Weiwu Mountain, he not only controlled the 2,000 armed people here, but also controlled several Fan tribes living nearby. All the needs of these Fan tribes were allocated and paid for by him.

Where did he get so much power?

As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.

Eating and taking cards is just a normal operation, as long as he gives a slight signal, those Fan tribes will obediently pay him tribute. During the daytime today, Kelubu sent him two wild tribal women in exchange for a batch of feather arrows. And these feathered arrows were originally intended to be equipped with these tribal cavalry.

When there was a rumbling sound of the wall collapsing outside, when the deafening shouting of killing suddenly came, Huang Hai, who was making the final sprint on a fannu, suddenly shuddered and withered, suddenly turned over and rolled off the fannu, rushed to the window with stripes, pushed open the window and looked, and his heart suddenly cooled half.

The fifty-pace-long section of the wall had collapsed entirely, and from the breach above the enemy was pouring into the fort, and the opponents had even unscrupulously lit their torches.

Looking at those heavily armed, helmet-wearing guys, and at the familiar face that was turning its head to the top of the fort and smiling at the top of the castle in the bright firelight, Huang Hai couldn't help but shudder.

That guy he knew, it was Fan Jian, the second leader of Weihu Mountain, who used to make some shady deals with him, at what time, the person in front of him was always bent over his waist, looking flattering, but now, that face was full of murderous energy.

Huang Hai was a school officer who had retired from the army, and he only had to look at the equipment of these Weihu Mountain bandits to know that it was bad. Where did these people get so much armor? Now he saw at least a thousand people, each wearing armor and armor, and the equipment would not be inferior to the most elite army of the Liao army.

"Close the fort gates, sound the alarm, light the fire, raise the wolf smoke!" He screamed and rushed to the door, stepped out of the threshold with half a foot, and with too much movement, he pulled at the egg at once, only to realize that he was still naked. Hurriedly turned around again, hurriedly put on his clothes, hugged his armor, and rushed out of the house.

The gates of the main fort had always been closed at night, and his own soldiers who lived inside had also rushed to the top of the fort at this time, and like the Yellow Sea, everyone's face was pale and pale.

Because at this moment, a one-sided massacre is being staged in the cantonment site.

An unexpected surprise attack, a heavily armed elite army against the armed cantonns who didn't even have time to hold their weapons firmly, and in an instant, Wulitun was already a river of blood.

At this time, about five miles away from Wulitun, Xiao Jing led the horse and stood in the night, behind him, there were about a thousand cavalry.

This is the result of his hard work in the past six months. Two other small tribes attached themselves to him, so that he was able to gather more than a thousand cavalry.

"Here we go!" In the dark night, a horse galloped over, rushed to Xiao Jing's side, and said loudly.

"All on board!" Xiao Jing turned over and pulled out the scimitar on his waist: "The target, Ke Lu Ministry, kill all their men, but all the wealth of Lu Ministry, I don't take a penny, all of it belongs to you." ”

The Kelu tribe is the largest tribe in the Fan tribe here, with nearly 600 cavalry in the whole clan, and it is naturally arrogant in front of Xiao Jing and others, and the Yellow Sea is also using the Kelu tribe to suppress other small tribes.

Xiao Jing naturally didn't contact Kelubu, but the first one to eliminate was him.

Hearing Xiao Jing's words, the patriarchs of the other two small tribes were all bright-eyed, but there were thousands of people in the Lu tribe, since Xiao Jing didn't want it, then the two of them, each family could get a considerable share.

If it was in the past, they naturally didn't dare to provoke the Kelu Department, but now, with Xiao Jing taking the lead, and Xiao Jing didn't know that he hugged that thigh, he actually got a full set of oracle bones for them, good knives and guns, bows and arrows, and feather arrows like iron arrows were particularly cherished for them in the past, but Xiao Jing gave them 5,000 for each tribe at one time. Each of them had only a few hundred cavalry, and each cavalry was able to receive twenty of these feathered arrows at once, which was a great fortune for them.

With the dream of killing all the men of the Kelu tribe and dividing up their property, the more than 1,000 cavalry rumbled towards the place where the Kelu tribe was stationed.

Wulitun Huanghai was desperate to see that the people outside the main fort were either killed, or knelt on the mud with their hands raised and surrendered, while the bandits of Weihu Mountain were approaching the main fort. And the Fanbu cavalry he was counting on didn't even see a shadow.
