Chapter 8: Night Raid
Heaven can favor a person, but he cannot always favor this person. Looking at the heavy snow, Murong Dan knew that the good luck on the Donghu people's passbook had returned to zero.
God has taken good care of the Donghu people, and there has not been a single snow during the month-long march. But the prairie can't be snowless all winter, it's time to do something.
"Sister, what are we going to do here? Pingliang's cavalry is very powerful, if we bring such a small number of people to be surrounded, how can I explain to Abba. Murong Ao said very worriedly. Murong Dan only took a thousand men and horses and went deep into the territory of Pingliang. Along the way, day and night, he actually hid the Yun family scouts who were as powerful as eagles and falcons.
The horn of the wind continued, and the snow particles hurt like bullets hitting the face. As soon as Murong Ao's question left his mouth, he was blown away by the wind and did not know where to go. There was a white expanse everywhere, and Murong Ao was very worried that they would get lost if they continued like this. If you accidentally go down to Yunyue's Pingliang City, it will be bad.
"Shut up!" Murong Dan spit out two words with difficulty, and a gust of wind stuffed the rest of the words back into his stomach. Despite wearing a fur coat, his whole body still felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His hands and feet were numb from the cold, but Murong Dan's heart was warm. The Pingliang army is also human, and no one will go out of the city to investigate in this weather. Even if it is a Yun family scout like a falcon, they will stay in the station in such weather. At this time, it is a good opportunity to enter the army. Who would have thought that the Donghu people would attack in such weather.
These days, the Donghu people and the Pingliang defenders have engaged in many tug-of-wars, and both sides have suffered damage. The bowstrings of the Donghu people are all leather strings, which will become brittle and cannot be pulled in the cold winter. The bowstrings of the Pingliang army are all made of steel wire, and the cold has almost no effect on this bowstring. The Donghu people, who suffered a lot in bows and arrows, were often at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
But this does not mean that the Donghu warriors are completely passively beaten, they also have hunters who are more cunning than foxes and braver warriors than lions. After a few tug-of-wars, they also captured a couple of tongues. Through interrogation, they knew that Pingliang actually ruled over the land of a hundred miles centered on Pingliang. In such a large area, there are many military stations scattered around.
The so-called military station is, to put it bluntly, the foothold of the scouts. On weekdays, the soldiers who patrol the border also rest here. The size of the station is not large, and it is usually managed by a dozen people. Now that the Donghu people have invaded, this kind of large military station has been withdrawn to Pingliang City. Some are just small and secret military stations, which are used for rest and accommodation for scouts who go out on missions.
In the mouth of the captive, Murong Dan knew about such a military station. With such a heavy snow today, it must be crowded with scouts who are sheltering from the snow. Take this opportunity to kill these annoying scouts, and let the Huaxia people know that they know how powerful the Donghu people are. A revenge for the annihilation of the 30,000 army in Linjing!
This military station is currently the only military station east of Pingliang. Located in the depths of a mountain forest, not to mention that no one leads it, even if someone leads it, you have to guess the way.
However, this could not help the Donghu people who had been fighting in the old forest all year round, and several experienced hunters were sent out. After a while, they found this military station hidden in the woods.
There was a corpse lying on the ground, though only after a stick of incense. The corpse had been frozen by the cold wind, and there was a large pool of blood under its feet. The contrast between the striking red and the blinding white of the ice and snow is so great. One of his legs was caught in a trap and he had a terrible wound on his neck. The snow, which had turned black, condensed on it. When he was dying, his mouth was growing wide and he seemed to be shouting something.
"Sister, be careful. They laid a trap in the woods, and the man accidentally broke his leg. was wiped by the people who traveled with me! Murong Ao said with some palpitations.
With such a large amount of snow, the original appearance can no longer be seen on the ground. God knows where there are traps for beasts, they are all old hunters. Knowing the power of this kind of animal trap, the huge iron clamp can even directly clip a person's calf bone. Even if the bear is blind in the woods, it is a life and death to be caught by this thing.
"If you're afraid of anything, just take it and explore the way with the branches. These are all old scouts who have become fine, and none of them are good to get along with. They did the right thing, if the screams were heard by the scouts. Let's not even think of catching any of them. Murong Dan gave an order, and the Donghu people each cut down a branch. Dismounted, and walked forward like a thunderbolt. I didn't even look at the corpse in front of me.
Murong Ao is like a hunting dog, wearing a thick leather coat that can also walk in the forest. Murong Dan followed closely behind her younger brother, she knew that although Murong Ao was young. But he is one of the best hunters in Donghu, he has the keen sense of smell of a dog and the agility of a leopard. If there really was a scout's secret station in the woods, he would definitely find it.
"Click!" The sticks were inserted into the snow with a clattering sound. The wooden stick with a thick arm suddenly broke in two, and Murong Ao broke out in a cold sweat. If you take a step faster, you may be like the unlucky guy in front of you, and your leg will be broken. Although no one would dare to kill him, it was not easy to survive in such a snowy weather.
Thousands of people quietly stepped into the mountains and forests in the snow, and the moon hung high in the sky. Like a naughty child, looking half-squinted at the mountains and forests below. A sneak attack that shocked the Warring States is about to kick off.
The snow reflects the moonlight and the view is excellent. This made it a bit difficult to sneak attack, and there seemed to be some light at the top of the mountain from a distance. It seemed that there were still people standing guard on patrol, and Murong Dan frowned. It seems that there are many people on the mountain, and I only bring a thousand people with me, and I don't know if I can eat it.
As soon as Murong Ao waved his hand, more than a dozen black shadows touched the guards standing guard under the cover of the trees.
In addition to the sound of the wind, Murong Dan's ears were the rustle of snowflakes falling on the ground. The dozen or so good hands, with the help of the cover of the terrain, staggered and ran for a short time to reach the sentinels.
"Oops!" Murong Dan secretly screamed badly, and she found that the few sentry soldiers stood like nails in the wind and snow, and they didn't move for a long time. It's freezing on this day, how can there be such a dead soldier. Even if you won't leave a little, there will always be rubbing your hands and stomping your feet. Those soldiers were clearly dummies, but it was too late to say anything.
The dummy was so realistic that the Donghu people felt two feet away and were about to attack before they realized that something was wrong. A heart-piercing pain came from his feet, "Ah......hhhh A terrible scream suddenly rang out in the lonely night sky. (To be continued.) )
