Chapter 346: Sneak Attack on the Enemy Village
The only difficulty is to capture the central Dazhai.
Cover this place is the base camp of Gaoding, the spoils of looting for many years are hidden in it, it is conceivable that the regulations and garrisons of Dazhai must be strict, even if Gaoding personally goes out to fight, it will definitely leave elite guards.
The capture of Dazhai is the key link that makes this assault operation anti-guest-oriented, so this battle must be carried out by the most effective cadres.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei turned to Zhang Wei and said, "Boqi, you will lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters and try to take down Dazhai tonight." Wait until the villages are pulled out one by one, and we will rely on Dazhai to wait for work and wait for the return of Gaoding! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Wei's face sank like water, and he should go down categorically.
The generals got up in unison and were about to take orders.
At this time, I suddenly heard that Zhang Yi hesitated and said: "Boyo, the women in the village are old and weak, how should they be handled?" ”
He was born as a scholar, and he naturally has a sense of pity for the elderly, weak, women and children.
Jiang Wei thought for a while and replied, "If you have enough time, you can be escorted to Dazhai and imprisoned." They are all the families of the Gaoding bandits, and if these hostages are in hand, the chief of the thieves will give his life to save them. ”
Zhao Guang asked again: "After all, our army has few people, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to escape, what should we do?" ”
Before Jiang Wei could answer, Huo Yi had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "If you escape, you will escape, isn't it in the arms of Brother Zhengzhong?" ”
Zhao Guangqi said: "What do you mean by this? ”
Huo Yi smiled and explained: "If my brother wants to lure Gao Ding back for a decisive battle, he naturally needs someone to reveal the news that his nest is not guaranteed, so aren't these escaped Yi people the best candidates to spread the word?" ”
"Hahahaha. I see! ”
The generals had no more doubts, and after giving the salute, they each began to count their troops.
******
The sky was pitch black.
With a knife in his mouth, Zhang Wei hid in a half-human-high bush, and his eyes stared sharply at the Yiren village dozens of steps away.
The slope of the mountain road under the village is not very steep, but both sides are dense forest slopes, and the narrow mountain road in the middle can only be used by two people side by side.
Fortunately, the Yi people poured out of the nest, and the people guarding the village only said that the Han people were too busy to take care of themselves, and they never thought that the Han people would appear here.
Behind Zhang Wei were 500 soldiers who were gearing up and fighting with monstrous intent. Half a mile away, there were 500 soldiers personally led by Jiang Wei, who was not at ease, as backup. In the plan, if Zhang Wei's plan to steal the door fails, he will lead the troops to storm Dazhai.
The sky is dark, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Wei waved lightly, and more than a dozen brave and careful soldiers with clever archery skills behind him immediately crouched in the bushes on both sides and followed him to crawl forward.
The mountain wind was cold, and the branches and leaves rustled, and it actually covered up the movement of this group. There are two Yi people holding bows and arrows on the watchtower of Dazhai, leaning on both sides of the pillar and pretending to sleep, but they have not noticed the abnormality below.
The distance was shortening step by step, and when he was still more than twenty steps away from the gate, Zhang Wei lowered his voice and let out a night owl-like "bang" cry, and at the same time slowly raised his right hand, signaling the crossbowmen behind him to prepare to shoot.
The Yiren sentinels in the cottage only said that there were night beasts in front of the gate of the village, and they poked their heads out one after another.
At this moment, Dan heard two sounds of "whoosh-" and "whoosh-", and two crossbow arrows shot into the gate of the village faster than lightning, hitting the throats of the two Yiren sentinels, and the two of them snorted, and immediately fell to the ground, not even having time to let out a miserable cry.
These two arrows are the first step to success!
Seeing this, Zhang Wei was greatly refreshed, and led ten elite soldiers to rush towards the camp gate together.
Compared with the city of the Han people, the camp of the Yi people is not very clever, and the gate of the wall is only two people high. Huo Yi rushed to the gate of the village with an arrow, and years of hard training made him climb the gate of the village with a slight jump, and then climbed into the village.
There were two Yiren guards behind the gate who were still dozing off a moment ago, and when they were half asleep and half awake, they suddenly saw the divine soldiers descending from the sky, and they were all stunned, and they even forgot to pull out their swords.
Zhang Wei let out a low cry and swung his knife to slash out, but when he saw a flash of cold light, blood splashed everywhere, and the two heads had already landed. He didn't stop, he raised the ring head knife, and slashed three times at the beam of the walled gate one after another, and the sawdust suddenly splashed and scattered.
After three slashes, Zhang Wei took a deep breath, used all his strength, and kicked towards the beam, only to hear a loud "card rub" sound, the beam broke from it, and the door was kicked open.
More than a dozen soldiers outside immediately rushed in and guarded the surrounding area of the gate. The five hundred soldiers who were originally ambushed on both sides of the mountain road saw the gate of the village open, and immediately got up one after another, shouting and fighting wildly, and rushed into the inside of the cottage.
Until this time, the gong warning in the cottage had just sounded......
Zhang Wei guarded the gate of the village in order to receive Jiang Wei's reinforcements, and he himself led more than 100 soldiers to the tallest building in the middle of the village - that was the residence of Gaoding, and it was also the place where the main force of the defenders stayed.
Along the way, more and more people were awakened, and the exclamations and cries were endless.
In order to maintain the speed of the team's march, Zhang Wei shouted: "If anyone dares to approach, kill them!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers closely surrounded him, dispersed the young people all the way, and went straight to the cottage hall.
Along the way, the Yiren had just woken up, and they didn't know what was going on, and most of them only dared to guard the door, and didn't dare to go out to look at it at all; Occasionally, those who were brave enough to go out were frightened away by the Han army's random shooting.
Therefore, the team was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to reach the door of the cottage hall.
At this time, one hundred and ten panicked young men were still dressed and lined up at the shouting of a leader, and dozens of people were running out of the hall in disheveled clothes.
"Shoot for Lao Tzu!"
Thirty steps away, before the Yi people could react, Zhang Wei picked up the crossbow and fired three arrows in succession, one of which hit the head of the Yi leader, and the leader screamed and fell to the ground.
The Han soldiers followed suit, raised their crossbows one after another, and shot towards the dense group of Yiren.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The screams came and went, and in the face of the cold and continuous repeating crossbows, the Yi people had no way to rush to the vicinity of the Han army.
The smell of blood and feces was waking in the air. The shouts in front of the hall became heavier and heavier, and the young people in the hall fled in panic, trying to break through the encirclement of the Han army, but they were greeted by cold crossbow arrows and sharp spear tips.
With mental calculations or unintentional, under the command of Zhang Wei, this sneak attack ended after only half an hour, and half of the 500 Yi soldiers were wiped out on the spot, and half of them knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Facing the Yiren who knelt on the ground, Zhang Wei did not hesitate and ordered: "Except for the old and weak women, all men who are over the chest will be killed!" ”
