502, Five Days of Life and Death (21)

(The first update will be served, and the second update will be released before half past nine)

Zheng Fei led nine hundred horsemen to attack suddenly with lightning speed, rushing into the officers and soldiers is to keep slashing, instantly cutting over the hundred and ten people in front of him, the rest of the officers and soldiers did not have time to react at all, many people just woke up from a big sleep and opened their eyes only to see a machete has arrived in front of them, and there are many people who didn't even have time to open their eyes to see the king of Hades in a daze, fortunately escaped the slashing but still couldn't avoid the impact and stomp of more iron horses behind, and the death was even more miserable, for a time the flesh and blood flew sideways, wailing everywhere, The officers and men were suddenly in a big mess, and they could not organize the slightest counterattack at all, and they only knew how to turn their heads and run, but how could the two legs of a man outrun the four legs of a horse? As long as they are caught up by the horses, it is a knife in the back, even if some officers and soldiers ran away because they were on the periphery, but then they were desperate to find that there were hundreds of horses from all directions, and it was Hu Sanniang and Xie Laoliu who led the crowd to ride!

After a while, more than 1,000 people have lost their lives in seven or eight hundred, and the remaining officers and soldiers saw that they couldn't run away, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but they had heard that the Liangshan thieves never killed prisoners, but unfortunately there was always an exception in everything, and they were destined to pay the price of their lives for the crimes they had just committed!

The battle ended quickly, the Heavenly Dao Army only killed two and seven wounded and completely annihilated this thousand-person forbidden army, Huang Mazi and another forbidden army officer were completely dumbfounded, when the same scene happened to them half a day ago, they were in panic and fear and did not realize how strong the Heavenly Dao Army was, but at this moment, they witnessed all this happening as spectators, and finally saw what a terrifying army this was, is there such a cavalry in the forbidden army? They never saw it anyway. However, seeing that more than a thousand of their former comrades-in-arms were completely wiped out in this way, the two of them still felt a little lucky in addition to guilt, so that no one could report the fact that they had assisted the thieves. The two glanced at each other, and then staggered their gazes, people don't die for themselves, and living is more important than anything else!

Zheng Fei looked at the dead corpses of officers and soldiers all over the ground, and there was no slightest fluctuation in his heart, except that his heart had already been tempered by countless wars and became as hard as iron stone, and because these people really deserved to die! But when he looked at the heads of the piles of innocent people again, he still sighed deeply in his heart, what was wrong with these innocent people, but they didn't end up with a whole corpse even if they died. Although Zheng Fei wanted to collect these heads and send them back to the villages that had been beheaded by the slaughtered villages he found on the way here, there were more important things to do at the moment, so Zheng Fei could only order someone to dig a big pit to bury the heads of these people, and then set up a wooden sign as a mark, and wait until the end of the war to determine which village had killed and beheaded the people before moving the heads of these people.

Then, Zheng Fei ordered people to dig two more pits next to the head grave, bury the two cavalry soldiers who died in the battle, and give them a short and solemn silence, and also make a mark, and then give them a decent funeral after the battle is over.

Then, Zheng Fei ordered the hundreds of people who had not yet changed into the uniforms of the officers and soldiers to immediately take off their military uniforms from the corpses of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers and put them on themselves.

Subsequently, still led by the two Huang Mazi, more than 1,000 horsemen once again raised the military flag of the imperial court and galloped towards the location of the grain and grass.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The place where the 1,000 forbidden troops were killed was not far from Gaotang Prefecture, Zheng Fei led the cavalry to run wildly for only half an hour to reach the grain and grass storage place of the 20,000 forbidden army, only to see billowing black smoke billowing from the sky above Gaotang Prefecture in the distance, and a huge sound seemed to be faintly heard in his ears, Zheng Fei knew that it must be the sound of the boulder thrown by the catapult hitting the city wall or the ground, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, and secretly didn't know what happened to Wu Song and them, and he would have to go to Gaotang Prefecture after burning the grain and grass,

Zheng Fei still only took a few horsemen and Huang Mazi to explore the terrain first, only to see that the place where the grain is stored is a high soil slope with steep sides on three sides and a gentle one, the people on the soil slope are crowded, and the defense is strict, Zheng Fei can't help but praise in his heart, the place where the grain and grass are stored is very good, this slope is steep on three sides and one side is slow, if you want to go uphill, you can only go up from the gentle slope, and the defenders who protect the grain and grass only need to defend the gentle slope on that side, and it is condescending, occupying the terrain, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"How many people are there who protect the grain and grass?" Zheng Fei asked the two of them,

"There are about 2,000 soldiers who transport grain and grass, and about 2,000 sergeants who are specifically responsible for protecting grain and grass." Huang Mazi hurriedly replied,

In other words, there were 4,000 people, Zheng Fei made up his mind, or follow the old routine, first pretending to be officers and soldiers to approach them and then launch a surprise attack to catch them off guard!

"Has the password changed?" Zheng Fei asked,

"This ...... It's hard to say about the villain, before the villain left the big army yesterday, he only knew the joint password of our four departments, and as for whether the big army and the food guard army used this password or not, the villain doesn't know. Huang Mazi said as he cautiously observed Zheng Fei's face, lest his answer would not satisfy Zheng Fei and annoy him.

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Fei guessed that nine times out of ten, this grain guard army must not be the same password, but that's fine, the counterpart order must be at least a hundred steps away, although this distance is not comparable to the effect of launching a surprise attack from close range, but it is enough for the cavalry regiment to charge!

Zheng Fei immediately led a few people back to the large army that was hiding in the woods, and asked everyone in the cavalry regiment to put the Soul Breaker Crossbow on the string (the cavalry brigade is the only army in the entire Heavenly Dao Army that is fully rationed with the Soul Breaker Crossbow) and hang it on the special part of the saddle, so that they can lift the crossbow at any time and shoot it, and after another explanation, Zheng Fei took the lead and led the horsemen to go slowly and leisurely in the direction of the dirt slope.

When they came to the bottom of the dirt slope, the forbidden army on the dirt slope condescendingly found them, but the people who saw it were all holding the imperial flag and wearing the same military uniforms as themselves, and then they naturally thought that they were their own people, so they did not immediately make defensive preparations.

The cavalry regiment slowly and slowly went up the gentle slope, but everyone's hands touched the handle of the Broken Soul Crossbow that was hanging on the saddle, ready to rush and kill at any time.

400 steps...... 300 steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred steps!

Finally, the sound of the password came from the dirt slope, "The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke!" ”

Huang Mazi, who was walking beside Zheng Fei, was stunned for a moment, Zheng Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the password of this grain guard army is really not the set of "bright moonlight in front of the bed", and then I thought that the person who formulated these passwords also likes Li Bai too much, and the first sentence of all passwords is actually Li Bai's poem,

"Say you can't hear you right now, and ask them to be louder!" Zheng Fei whispered to Huang Mazi, and at the same time secretly accelerated the speed of travel,

Huang Mazi reacted and hurriedly shouted loudly up the slope, "What ......?" Be louder! ”

It was also Zheng Fei's luck, it turned out that Zhang Jidi, the chief general of 20,000 people, was not a mediocre talent, and he knew the importance of protecting grain and grass after reading military books, so he still felt that it was not enough to put grain and grass on this slope, and actually prepared twelve sets of passwords for the grain army, one set per hour, and a complete set for a day, and the people who came to transport grain could only know the password before they came, which also avoided the person who knew the previous password in case he accidentally leaked the password, and the person who got his password could no longer use this set of outdated passwords to fool around. But this also caused a problem, that is, the garrison needed to remember all twelve sets of passwords per day, which was very easy to confuse. So, when the defenders above heard Huang Mazi asking them to shout louder, they thought that they had made a mistake in the password, and hurriedly took out the password book and looked at it, but found that hey? Am I right? Could it be that the people below really didn't hear clearly? And he cried out again,

"The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke!"

Through this investigation and shouting, Zheng Fei and the others took the opportunity to move forward more than a dozen steps, and at this time they were less than 100 steps away from the top of the slope!

Huang Mazi shouted again, "What? Still can't hear clearly, louder! ”

It was only at this point that the defenders on the slope sensed that something seemed wrong, and immediately shouted, "Stop! Don't get any closer! ”

Where will Zheng Fei listen to him, not only does he not stop, but he sped up even more!

The defenders on the slope were shocked when they saw it, and then they saw that many of the "forbidden army" on the slope actually had blood stains on their bodies, and finally completely reacted that the person who came was not their own people!

Dingding......ding! The defenders immediately rang the gong placed in front of them, and at the same time shot an arrow in the direction of Gaotang Prefecture, the gong was to inform the defenders in the camp that someone had come to rob the grain, and the arrow was to notify the large army in Gaotang Prefecture in the distance that the grain and grass were in danger!

For a while, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed out of the barracks, carrying knives and bows and arrows, and ran to the direction of the camp gate for reinforcements.

Zheng Fei saw that the matter was revealed, and he no longer hesitated, he shouted, "Ready, shoot!" ”

In an instant, all the soldiers of the cavalry regiment picked up the Soul Breaking Crossbow, quickly estimated the distance and angle, and pulled the trigger.

Airplanes......! More than 4,000 arrows were fired in unison, forming a raindrop-like rain of arrows in the air to form a deadly coverage on the slope, the first was the camp gate, more than 100 officers and soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and the sound of the gong also stopped, indicating that the person who had just sounded the gong had also died, and hundreds of officers and soldiers who were rushing to support the nearest camp gate also unfortunately broke into this death zone, and then were shot down a large area, and the screams were endless! The officers and soldiers who were lucky not to be shot in the back did not dare to go any further when they saw the tragic scene in front of them, and hesitated on the spot.

The hesitation of the officers and soldiers gave the Heavenly Dao Army a chance,

"Kill!" Zheng Fei took the lead in pulling out the machete, sat down and rushed up the slope with a hiss.

"Kill!" Hu Sanniang was not far behind, she pulled out the Sun and Moon Twin Knife and followed closely behind Zheng Fei, behind her, 1,500 horsemen also shouted Kill Zhentian, while re-hanging the Soul Breaking Crossbow on the saddle and pulling out the machete,

The Heavenly Dao Army is like a long snake, going up the slope against the sky!

When they went uphill, the officers and soldiers had just come to the camp gate in a state of panic, and the camp gate was just unlocked, and the Heavenly Dao Army rushed through the camp gate and killed the officers and soldiers!
