Chapter 6 Camp Exploration
There are no stars or moons in the sky, and the night is like paint, and when you stretch out your hand, you can't see your five fingers.
In the boundless night, on the wide river, Pei Guo, the assassin of Huazhou in the Western Wei Dynasty, the general of Zhengdong, and the prince of Champion County, personally led the team, taking a sailless boat, and working hard at the moment, but he went straight to the east bank!
At this time, two knelt at the head of the boat, holding a cloth hammer to break the ice to open the way, and the other sat on the stern of the boat with Pei Guo and paddled hard.
On such a starless night, it was extremely difficult to discern the direction on the river, but fortunately, the campfire on the east bank was faint and discernible from afar, so it became a guiding light, leading this lonely boat to the east.
Tonight the wind is light, so that the wind does not blow cold heads and feet, and the limbs are weak. Before the four of them set off, they had a full meal, drank hot soup and drank hot soup, and their bodies were full of strength. Naturally, this is also because the weather is warm this year, at this time the ice has only a thin layer left, in addition to the bow and tail of the boat and the waterline are covered with sharp iron, but when moving forward, it can also break the ice, otherwise only rely on manpower to break the ice, even when the sky is bright, I am afraid that I will not be able to go far.
Even so, when they reached the middle of the river, the two in front of them were so tired that they had no choice but to stop for a short rest. One person couldn't help but be indignant: "This damn river ice, there is no head, no edge, tired to death." ”
"You're not saying that fairly." Pei Guo smiled faintly and said, "This ice is the best this year." It is not strong, otherwise the thief would have already stepped on the ice; It was not completely gone, so the thief could not easily erect the pontoon bridge. Tell me, what else should I do? ”
Gao Huan paved three pontoon bridges on the opposite bank of Pu Hanjin, which made the boss big, and at first scared Feng Yixi's army. As a result, after several days, the pontoon bridge was only a little longer, and the progress was very slow, but was it because of the freezing of the river? If it weren't for this, Pei Guo wouldn't be as good as he is now, and he should have jumped to his feet in a hurry.
The man was stunned, scratched his head and laughed: "What you said makes sense." Hehe, when I turned my head to look at the ice again, I couldn't bear to smash it. ”
"That's not a hit!" Pei Guo smiled: "Don't be lazy!" Hurry up, get moving! ”
So the four of them worked hard again and struggled to move eastward.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a muffled "bang", and the boat shook wildly, almost overturning. Fortunately, the four people who are both good and bold and careful have not panicked, and suddenly they have risen and fallen, each occupying a corner, and finally stabilized the boat.
Needless to say, this has reached the east bank and hit the embankment. The sound was not loud, but it was not small, and the four of them were motionless, all of them were apprehensive. Fortunately, after a long time, no easterner came out to check, so no one should have heard.
The two at the head of the boat straightened up and were about to jump ashore, but they heard Pei Guo behind him whisper: "Don't go!" The three of you just have to rest and eat on the boat, and when you are regained, you will be able to return to the west coast as soon as you turn around. This expedition is enough for me alone. ”
I see! Pei Guo and Yu Wenying said "a glimpse" turned out to be not a side matter, but they came to the east coast high military camp to have a glimpse. With such a risky move, it's no wonder that Yu Wenying is in a hurry.
As soon as Pei Guo said this, the three of them became anxious: "Envoy, how can you let yourself be alone in danger?" ”
"Less nonsense!" Pei Guo said angrily: "If you are told to rest here, then rest here obediently." The three of you go together, but I'm afraid that people will find out. How? Just a few of you, do you dare to believe in my Pei Guo's ability? ”
The three of them were dumbfounded, but they also knew that their skills were far from Pei Guo, so they were honest and sat down.
The light shadow flickered, and as he spoke, Pei Guo had already jumped ashore, and his steps were gone, and the civet cat seemed to be thrown into the night.
。。。。。。
When the Eastern Army could no longer imagine that the "frightened" Westerners would dare to break through the ice and cross the river, their precautions were very lax, although there were no patrols outside the camp, and the guards on the arrow tower in front of the camp were also lazy, and half of the Tai were dozing. Pei Guo easily approached the Eastern Army camp, so that no one would find out.
Pei Guo first walked around the camp, and saw that the camp fence was thin, and there were only one person high in many places, which was obviously built in a hurry, and there was not even a trench dug outside the fence. This military camp is so simple and crudely repaired, it really doesn't look like the old Gao Huan's handwriting. However, Pei Guo thought about it, the east thief is powerful, and he is taking the offensive, and what he seeks is to cross the river in the west, so it is not unusual for Gao Huan not to bother with the camp on the east bank.
Soon, Pei Guo found a remote corner, looked through the cracks, and it was quiet, and there was no movement. Since the camp fence is short, Pei Guo is just an ape arm, kicking his legs and standing up, and he flipped in with a hula.
The battalion was also lax, and it took a few days to see a few patrols passing by, but Pei Guo was a little vigilant, not to rush around as if he was not stingy, then he would not let people find out.
For example, wearing flowers and butterflies, Pei Guo was in the camp as if he was in a no-man's land, and he went a lot deeper, and soon arrived at a place and stood still.
Through the campfire not far away, it can be seen that there is no camp tent in this place, and you can vaguely see columns of protrusions on the ground, which can be regarded as neatly arranged.
Pei Guo squatted down and groped for a while, and sure enough, those bulges were the earthen stoves used to make rice in the army. He used his hands and feet at the same time, groped all the way, mentally calculated all the way, and when he stood up soon, he already knew it in his chest: this battalion has at least one hundred and fifty tents, that is, 1,500 soldiers. Even if the four Wu share a stove, they will have to build nearly 100 earthen stoves, but it will be counted as coming down, and there will be a total of about 20 stoves here. Could it be ... Could it be that there are empty accounts in this camp?
At that moment, he was overjoyed, and he was bold, and he found a tent nearby, and waited to go in to find out. It was only when the corner of the camp curtain was lifted that Xu Yefeng took the opportunity to drill in, and someone inside immediately sneezed, and said: "Tie Jiu, are you going to urinate at night again?" ”
Pei Guo broke out in a cold sweat, his hand was loose, he hurriedly retreated a few steps, and even squatted down to hide his figure. After a while, there was no movement in the tent, only a faint snoring.
Pei Guo secretly screamed "lucky", thinking that when the person was sleeping in a daze, he just said something sad, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
When he explored the second tent next, Pei Guo was much more cautious, and first stuck outside the tent and listened quietly. After a long time, there was no sound, and then he opened it in, and when he looked around, sure enough, the tent was empty, and there was no half-person. He was also worried that he had happened to run into the camp tent of the night patrol soldiers, but after groping for a long time, he didn't even have a bunk in this tent, and he couldn't find half of anything, so how could he live there?
And so it was! Pei Guo was determined, and went to other tents to explore. As he had expected, seven or eight of the ten tents were empty, and half of them were empty, which was also in line with the number of camps.
Pei Guo was still not at ease, so he accelerated his speed and visited the two battalions in a row, both of which were done. In this way, it is almost conclusive.
