Chapter 1187: Capture the Whistle
Two arrows come out in unison and hit with one blow.
The two guards on the watchtower had been shot in the throat before they even understood who the enemy was.
The guards of the checkpoint have been accustomed to paying attention to the south outside the checkpost for many years, and no one thought that the enemy would sneak attack from behind, and when the Han soldiers found out about the situation, dozens of fierce Chu soldiers had already rushed up with big swords.
There is no shouting of killing, but the absence of killing is more terrifying.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The Han soldiers on the stone wall shouted loudly, shouting repeatedly, which immediately sobered up many Han soldiers who were in a daze.
Of course, the Han soldiers guarding the checkpoints will train on weekdays, and if there is an enemy situation, everyone knows what they should do.
But all along, the imaginary enemy trained by the Han soldiers is the Chu people who came from the south, if the Chu enemy in the south appears, everyone will know their responsibilities and know what they should do, but now the enemy is attacking from the rear, and then according to the deployment of the previous training, it will not play any role at all.
What shocked the Han soldiers the most was that the enemy shot the two sentries on the watchtower at the first time, which was really fatal.
If the sentry on the watchtower is killed, it will not be possible to send out any signals, and even if you shout loudly here, it is impossible to call for any reinforcements.
In the darkness of the night, the enemy rushed forward like a pack of wolves, and without saying a word, he slashed with a sword.
There were only about 30 officers and soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and they did not have any advantage in terms of numbers at all, and the side of the other party was caught off guard, and the Han soldiers were not ready, and several people had already been killed.
Fortunately, these Han soldiers were well-trained after all, and after a period of panic, someone had already shouted sharply: "Archer cover, brothers, don't panic." ”
Several archers on the wall bent their bows and arrows, in the night, only saw the figure flickering, for a while it was not clear which was the enemy and which was their own person, and what was more terrible was that when they were recognized, the opponent had already fought with the Han soldiers, the archers were afraid of accidentally injuring their companions, and they did not dare to shoot arrows easily, and finally found a gap to shoot a few arrows, but the other party was not weak, and dodged again and again.
After Cao Ying was drunk, he was sleeping soundly, and he vaguely heard a voice in a daze, and before he understood what was going on, he heard someone shouting next to him: "Captain, captain, wake up, there is an enemy attack!" ”
As soon as Cao Ying heard the words "an enemy is coming", he broke out in a cold sweat in his vest, woke up in an instant, got up, and under the night, he only saw people staggered, and the surroundings were already fighting.
He immediately looked up at the watchtower, and when he saw that the two soldiers on the watchtower were motionless, he knew that something was wrong, drew his saber, and shouted, "Stop it for Lao Tzu." Without further ado, he rushed straight to the watchtower.
After all, he is guarding this checkpoint, and if this checkpoint is taken by the Chu people, he will have to bear all the responsibility.
Cao Ying knows that military law is ruthless, if the silent card whistle falls into the hands of the enemy, when the time comes, the above will ask about the crime, and his family will inevitably be unsafe, but if he can release the signal in time, let the later card post know that the enemy is coming, then even if the first card post is not guaranteed in the end, and even if he dies here, his family will be safe.
He had no other thoughts at this time, just to climb the watchtower and blow the horns
Number.
Cao Ying's thoughts, several Han soldiers around him also understood, and immediately followed Cao Ying's side, rushed towards the watchtower, and rushed towards two enemies, Cao Ying immediately rushed up behind two Han soldiers to block, in order to buy time for Cao Ying.
Cao Ying rushed to the watchtower with two people like an enraged beast, and the enemy obviously discovered Cao Ying's intentions, and five or six figures rushed over to this side, ready to stop Cao Ying.
Cao Ying and two Han soldiers rushed to the bottom of the watchtower and immediately climbed up to the watchtower.
There are two ladders to climb up the watchtower, Cao Ying is the first to climb the mountain on one side, followed by a person who also climbs up, and another Han soldier climbs quickly up the wooden ladder on the other side.
Shout!
A sharp arrow burst through the air and sank into the back of the Han soldier's neck, and the Han soldier let go of his hands and rolled down the wooden ladder.
Cao Ying was taken aback, but she sped up and climbed up, and suddenly felt the black shadow flashing in front of her, and her heart sank, and then a cold air came from the side, Cao Ying turned her head to look over, only to see a big knife cut down on her head.
Cao Ying raised his knife to resist, seeing the two knives striking each other, but unexpectedly the other party's wrist twisted, but the big knife had already magically drawn a circle and a half, Cao Ying didn't understand what the move was, but the big knife had already slashed diagonally, instantly cutting Cao Ying's neck, the knife spurted blood, Cao Ying's whole person rolled down from the wooden ladder, and hit the soldier under him, both of them rolled down like rolling stones.
Cao Ying wanted to rush to the watchtower, many Han soldiers were seen, a group of enemies attacked at night, although they had fought with each other, but many Han soldiers did not know what the situation was, but they only relied on instinct to resist the fight, and only hoped that Cao Ying would blow the horn, at this time they saw Cao Ying was also cut by someone, and all their thoughts were discouraged, and many people were frightened and fell into despair.
It was naturally Qi Ning who slashed Cao Ying with a knife.
He knew that after the guards on the watchtower were shot, the others must have thought of seizing the watchtower to send a signal, so when they rushed over, they stood near the watchtower.
Cao Ying was killed, the Han soldiers had no fighting will, but a group of Chu soldiers wanted to make a contribution in front of the small country, one was more fierce than the other, and the knife was merciless, these people were carefully selected elite soldiers, the elite of the elite, the combat experience was very rich, a group of people killed, although it was not a tiger into the flock, but it still had an overwhelming advantage, the Han soldiers fell one after another, and in the end some people even abandoned their swords and surrendered, but the Chu soldiers did not accept the intention of surrendering, and the knife fell, and they were still killed.
In less than a stick of incense, the card post has restored its tranquility, and none of the Han soldiers guarding here were spared, and some Han soldiers wanted to escape at night, but they were all chased and killed.
Qi Ning wiped the blood on the knife edge and ordered everyone to count the number of people first.
This night attack can be said to be a complete victory, but two Chu soldiers were still killed in battle, four others were wounded, and other than that, the others were all intact.
Qi Ning asked people to pile up the corpses of Han soldiers in one place, and then everyone opened the entrance of the checkpoint, called the four wounded soldiers over, and said: "The four of you have been injured and made war achievements, and after returning to Beijing, I will definitely ask the court for credit for you." He said to Lu Kang: "Lu Kang, these four injured brothers."
You have to write down the names, and you also have to remember the names of the two brothers who died in battle, and when you go back, you must not only bury them, but also pay tribute to their families. ”
Lu Kang said yes.
"You four stay here." Qi Ning said: "The bodies of the two brothers who died in the battle will be left here first, and then the people and horses behind will come, and then send people back to Hanzhong, you will wait here for the army to come, before that, this checkpoint will be handed over to you to guard, and nothing can happen." ”
The four wounded soldiers looked at each other, and one said, "Sir, no one will come here again, we are willing to continue to move forward with the marquis." ”
"I know what you want." Qi Ning patted the man on the shoulder: "But a few of you are injured, and there is a checkpoint in front of you, if they find out about your injuries, they will definitely be suspicious, we must not take risks." You have shown great courage this time, and you have made a contribution that I am very satisfied with, and if you want to make meritorious contributions, I will definitely give you a chance, but not this time. ”
The wounded soldier also knew in his heart that what Qi Ning said was true, although the injuries of the four were not fatal, they were easy to see through, and it was impossible to recover before arriving at the next checkpoint, if the Han soldiers at the next checkpoint saw the flaws, it would indeed affect the entire team, and if they didn't insist, they knelt down together and arched their hands: "Sir, be careful all the way, we are here waiting for the rear team to come." ”
Qi Ning smiled slightly, looked at the entrance of the stone wall that had been opened, and didn't say much, waving his hand: "Go!" ”
In tonight's attack, Qi Ning brought thirty-eight warriors over, two were killed and four were wounded, that is, six people were missing, and he could only take the remaining thirty-two people back to join Ji Jin.
Ji Jincai didn't have any situation here, and when Qi Ning came back and learned some about the situation, the team rested in place that night, so that everyone could recover their strength.
Early the next morning, the team continued to move forward, and when it came to dusk, they saw the second checkpoint of the Northern Han people in the Meridian Road.
The team is naturally repeating the old tricks, and the Han soldiers of the second checkpoint are indeed very surprised by the sudden arrival of the Chu State Mission, but thinking that the first checkpoint has been released, there is naturally no reason to stop it, but it is more smoothly than the first checkpoint.
When passing the level, everyone in the team still quietly observed the layout of the outpost, and it was not much different from the previous one.
Everything was staged again, and with the previous experience, this time everyone was more skilled, through the checkpoint walked only ten miles, the team stopped, and waited until the night was dark, Qi Ning led everyone to turn back, first solved the Han soldiers in the barracks, and then went straight to the card post, still launched a surprise attack on the guard of the card post, and still solved the guard on the watchtower first, this battle was still a big victory, but Qi Ning still killed four people and injured seven people, which was more heavy than the casualties of the first checkpoint.
"Sir, if you go north from here, there will be another thirty miles, and you can get out of the Qinling Mountains and enter the northwest territory." When the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, Ji Jin came over and said: "As far as the humble officials know, the road ahead will be much smoother, and within a day, you can easily get out of the Qinling Mountains." ”
Qi Ning bowed slightly, and said, "After cleaning up, let the brothers change into the clothes of the Northern Han people first." Looking up at the approaching night sky, he whispered, "Next, is the real test!" ”(https:)
