Chapter 225: Night Disturbance of Evil Yang Ridge

Although Li Jing had obtained more detailed information about the Evil Yang Ridge in August, there was no trace of any action until mid-September. It's just that scouts are sent to ambush the opponent's scouts or grain transport teams in the area of Evil Yang Ridge every day, and two fires are also set off from time to time, so that the Turkic army in the entire Evil Yang Ridge falls into a kind of nervous preparation and harassment fatigue.

The Tang army outside Shuozhou City still practiced hard every day, with an all-army competition once a month and a juju competition once every half a month. In the past few months, no regiment has been able to win the title of Shuozhou's No. 1 regiment, often a regiment has won the championship this month, and it will change hands elsewhere next month. Fortunately, the reconnaissance battalion did not participate in this competition, otherwise I am afraid that the champion every time would be the regiment in the reconnaissance battalion.

This continued until the beginning of September and the end of October.

On this day, the generals of each battalion were invited to the big tent in Shuozhou City by the personal soldiers sent by Li Jing at the same time.

When everyone sat down, Li Jing's first sentence when he sat above was: "The old man wants to lead three thousand iron horsemen to attack the Evil Yang Ridge!" ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately became excited, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting for this day.

And Li Jing's second sentence made them mixed feelings. "Among the camps, all the regiments that have won the top fifteen places in the martial arts competition will gather at the Shuozhou school field at three o'clock in the afternoon today!" This sentence means that many troops cannot immediately participate in the Battle of Evil Sun Ridge.

Li Jing's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and a momentum that was not angry but powerful emanated from his body. He went on to order: "Order the reconnaissance battalion to be the vanguard, sweep the underpost posts along the way, and if possible, infiltrate the battalion as an internal response." Zhang Yunwen led the artillery to act with the general! ”

After the arrangement was completed, Li Jing propped his hands on the table, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill: "This time, all the generals will act with the general, and everything in the camp will be paid to the deputy general!" If anyone dares to disobey the order, they will be killed! ”

"No!" All the generals hugged their fists in unison.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, three thousand iron horsemen gathered on the school field of Shuozhou City. More than 400 artillery men with more than 200 mortars stood next to the iron cavalry. A big pole embroidered with the word "Li" is swaying in the wind.

Although from time to time they felt the contempt coming from the cavalry around them, all the artillerymen stood like a benchmark, ignoring the look in their eyes.

The reconnaissance battalion had already set off as soon as Li Jing's order was issued, and it would open a smooth road for the army.

Li Jing rode a black horse, followed by the generals, and slowly walked past the neat queue.

A pair of blazing eyes swept over the soldiers, and everywhere they looked, the soldiers puffed up their chests.

Li Jing didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the big tree embroidered with the word "Li" suddenly came out of the queue and came behind Li Jing. This is Li Jing's handsome banner.

"Let's go!" One of the generals shouted.

The three thousand iron horsemen suddenly turned their horses' heads and galloped all the way north. More than 400 artillerymen were two men and three horses, one on horse, and the rest were used to transport mortars, pedestals and shells.

Galloping all the way, the scenery along the way quickly passed by the corner of the eye.

At dusk, the army reached fifteen miles south of the Evil Yang Mountains.

"General, did our army attack overnight?" As soon as the army stopped, one of the generals stepped forward and asked.

Li Jing shook his head: "Order to camp on the spot, rest the soldiers, and attack tomorrow!" ”

The general saluted with his fists in his fist, and then retreated to make arrangements for camping.

Li Jing turned his head and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Yunwen, people say that soldiers are expensive and fast, do you know why the old man can't just order an attack?" ”

Zhang Yunwen pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The last general thought of two points, I don't know if it's right or not!" As soon as it comes, it will be twilight, which is not conducive to our army attacking the Evil Yang Ridge. Second, our army has been on the road for an afternoon, and although the morale is like a rainbow, it also needs to rest. The general is sympathetic to the soldiers, and of course he will let them rest well. ”

Li Jing smiled "haha" and said, "Yunwen is right! However, there is another point that Yunwen didn't mention, that is, the old man wants to see what kind of fame the reconnaissance camp you trained will make tonight! ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly froze slightly, raised his head, and looked at the Evil Sun Ridge in the twilight.

At this time, at the foot of the Evil Yang Ridge Mountain, a team of twenty scouts were scattered on all sides. Under the cover of twilight and camouflage, he slowly moved up the mountain.

If you look down from the mountain, you can only see dark shadows slowly moving upward.

Liu Cheng led twenty people to the bottom of the cliff behind the Evil Yang Ridge. Looking at this almost straight cliff, the eyes of the reconnaissance battalion soldiers suddenly straightened a little. "Well, Brother Liu, can this really climb up? Tsk, I'm afraid there are twenty or thirty zhang! The soldier behind him couldn't help but say with suspicion on his face.

Liu Cheng turned his head and stared fiercely at the talkative soldier, who took two steps back in disagreement. Liu Cheng didn't talk nonsense, took out his saber, and stuck it on the cliff. Suddenly, the earth on the cliff wall fell.

It seems that this cliff is mostly air-dried dirt, and among the various terrains that you climb with your bare hands, it can be regarded as moderately difficult. I have also climbed this terrain in previous training.

Liu Cheng gave an order, and the five soldiers took a leap, leaning against the cliff tightly, moving their hands and feet together, and slowly climbing to the cliff. From time to time, clods of earth and rocks rolled down. But fortunately, the five soldiers stabbed themselves on the cliff wall with their sabers and did not fall.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of climbing, the five soldiers reached the top of the cliff.

Immediately after, five ropes hung down from the top of the cliff. Liu Cheng waved his hand again, and the soldiers stepped forward in turn, climbing up with the help of ropes.

When I came to the cliff, I saw that the lights were not far away, and the lights almost melted into the night. By this time it was completely dark, and the outline of the Turkic tent was faintly visible as a little starlight fell on the top of the mountain.

Looking at the size of the camp, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand people inside.

Suddenly, twenty eyes focused on Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng suddenly hesitated, looked at the twenty soldiers around him, and then looked at the Turkic camp, gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers in a low voice: "Let's touch it, throw a grenade, and then retreat along the same road." If you can kill a few, even if you can't kill a few, you have to keep them awake! ”

As he spoke, Liu Cheng slowly bent his waist and touched the direction of the Turkic tent under the cover of grass and tree trunks.

Behind a wooden fence nearly a foot high stood two sentry posts two feet high. Standing on the sentry post, you can clearly see the grass and trees inside and outside the camp. Of course, that was only during the day. At night, it was pitch black, and there wasn't much to see.

Cautiously sneaking outside the wooden fence, Liu Cheng took out a grenade, pulled the pull ring, and then accurately entered a sentry post.

The Turkic warriors at the outpost heard only a crisp crash and the rolling sound of a bone-pounded iron ball, and were about to inspect what it was, when suddenly their eyes lit up, as if a fire was exploding in front of them. "Boom-" There was a loud bang, and a powerful shockwave blasted the Turkic soldier out of the watchtower. The four arm-thick pillars that supported the top floor of the watchtower were also broken by the powerful shockwave, and the topmost floor of the watchtower collapsed with a bang.

Not to be outdone, the rest of the soldiers threw out the grenades in their hands. One by one, the grenades landed accurately near the lights, and the guard towers, tents, and bonfires were all taken care of by the grenades. All of a sudden, explosions continued to sound in the camp, and screams erupted.

Throwing two rounds of grenades, Liu Cheng estimated that the Turks were about to come out, and said decisively: "Withdraw!" ”

Just as Liu Cheng and the others withdrew from the top of the cliff and stood under the cliff, another explosion came from the other side of the Evil Yang Ridge.

When the explosion sounded, Li Jing put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Zhang Yunwen beside him with deep meaning, and said: "Hehe, Yunwen, the movement made by your soldiers is really not small!" ”
