Chapter 303: Special Operations (The previous title mistakenly wrote three hundred as four hundred)
With the appearance of a touch of fish belly white in the east, the sky brightened.
After a night of disturbance, the more than 10,000 leather room troops under He Chongbao finally knew what it was to spend the night like a year, what it was to be scared, and what was better than death.
For the more than 1,000 Liao troops who experienced this battle and survived in the end, many years later, when they think of this incident, they still remember the creepy and trembling fear of this night.
First of all, at the third watch at midnight, the camp suddenly burst into flames for some reason.
As the fire ignited, it was accompanied by chaos throughout the camp, with people shouting and neighing, and everywhere there were frightened, hysterical shouting and rushing crowds.
Of course, it was not only people who were frightened, but also herds of horses.
Thanks to the fact that this army was still well-trained, it did not cause a large-scale camp roar, and under the able command of He Tong's army, the riots were finally suppressed, and the fires everywhere were finally extinguished.
However, after some counting, more than 30% of the tents were burned, and three stables were also burned;
More than 3,000 horses rushed and collided, and in addition to the turmoil caused by the frightened soldiers of various battalions, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed by cannibalism, and countless others were injured.
What made He Chongbao feel even more angry and frightened the whole army was that He Jie, the third brother of He Tongjun, was also sleeping in the military tent when he was touched by the heavenly Jurchen barbarians and cut off his head.
Along with the six guards who were guarding outside the tent, and many more of the night guards on the road, the young man who fed the horses in the stables had been snuck in and wiped his neck before the fire was ignited.
The other guards, as well as the hidden sentry arranged outside, and the more than 1,000 cavalry patrolling cavalry that spilled out, did not even find a single enemy, and after the incident, they did not find a single enemy.
The Jurchen barbarians can come and go whenever they want, and the defense and guards of the entire battalion are like a void in front of them!
This kind of thing is enough to make people frightened, panicked, and apprehensive to the extreme.
After the incident was over, the whole camp gradually returned to calm, and He Tongjun also strengthened its guards and patrols, but all the people did not dare to sleep, but just stayed up with their eyes open and trembling.
Some people who were really sleepy also held knives, guns, bows and arrows in their arms, and then fell asleep with a little peace of mind.
But this was not over, almost an hour and a half later, when the Liao soldiers, who had been tense and trembling, finally relaxed, and more people fell asleep in a daze.
Outside the camp, the terrible and terrifying attack horn of the Jurchen barbarians sounded again!
In the silence of the night, the sudden sound of the horn immediately enveloped the entire camp, as if blowing in the ears of more than 10,000 Liao troops, and immediately frightened them to wake up from their slumber, and then rushed out of the camp tent with shouts and prepared to meet the enemy.
And some people who were too nervous even drew their knives and guns directly, and in the dark tent, they did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, but just hysterically slashed and killed.
In this one moment, more than 2,000 people died.
And at this time, everyone finally knew why the secret outposts outside the camp, and the patrol cavalry, did not find these Jurchen barbarians who sneaked in.
These men had come down from a steep hill to the north.
Originally, He Tongjun chose to camp here because of the terrain here.
Backed by a large mountain, the mountain is steep and difficult to walk; There is a large stream in front (the Daling River has begun to turn to the southwest since Jianzhou, and the direction of Dadingfu is west and north of Jianzhou), with water and grass; The terrain is flat and open.
The Jurchen barbarians were all cavalry, so it was naturally impossible to attack from the waterway, and they could not go up the mountain, so the Liao army only needed to hold one direction to the east.
Even if these Jurchen barbarians dismounted and changed to an infantry army, the Liao army only needed to send a secret sentry on the road and a patrol cavalry to guard a road up the mountain in front of them to prevent the Jurchens from going up the mountain.
So, it's all too right to say that this arrangement is possible.
But who would have thought that the Jurchen barbarians did not send a large army to attack at night, but only sent a dozen people to sneak attack.
These people are also very skilled, and they easily broke through the patrol cavalry at the bottom of the mountain, as well as the secret sentry on the road, and quietly went up the mountain; And by the rope God went down the mountain unconsciously;
and then like a ghost, he entered the camp to kill people and set fire; In the end, I don't know how to hide it; Then, when the camp is calm again, climb the mountain with the help of ropes and blow the horn!
The most annoying thing is that after being woken up, all the Liao troops knew that this young Jurchen barbarian was on the mountain, but they didn't have anything to do!
Because the mountain is so steep and rugged that the army cannot go up at all; And this group of Jurchen barbarians is really powerful, all the sneaky Liao soldiers were secretly poisoned by them, and they were killed and shot without even seeing the enemy's face.
One by one, the heads were thrown off.
This battle is really embarrassing!
The night's torment and humiliation finally passed, and all the Liao troops were tossed and almost collapsed, and they were exhausted.
But even so, the angry He Chongbao still ordered hundreds of Liao army warriors to go up the mountain at all costs, and they must kill this young Jurchen Tartar!
But when they went up the mountain, they found that there were no people on the mountain, only a headless corpse.
He Chongbao felt that his anger had broken through the sky, but he had nowhere to vent, and finally only turned into a roar of extreme grief and indignation: "Jurchen barbarian, I am inseparable from you!" ”
He Chongbao was very angry, and Wu Song, Shi Qian and the others, who had completed the task brilliantly, were so excited that they all shouted wildly.
"Haha, happy! What kind of Liao forbidden army leather room army, is not we playing around! ”
"Only fifteen of us killed at least thousands of Liao dogs, disturbing them all night without sleeping, such a feat, if it was before, no one would believe it!"
"Haha, that Toga commander is just afraid that he will vomit blood in anger! The more than 10,000 leather room troops under his command are also considered to be wasted, they have not slept for a night and have been tossed by us, and the war horses have been frightened so much that they have not been able to rest well. ”
"If it weren't for Master Lin, how could we have our special operations battalion, well, and the special operations battalion today's scenery?
Don't you know, when I thought about all kinds of hell training, I Wang Dashi almost wanted to die, it was too bitter...... Now that I see our achievements, I know that it was worth all these hardships at the beginning! ”
"I don't know how Brother Ma Ling is doing now, can he handle it alone?"
I heard Shi Qian mutter, in the past half an hour, he also asked Ma Ling to let him go first with his large army, and he stayed on the mountain to blow the horn, and he had nothing to do with a single crossbow to shoot one or two cold arrows, dragging the enemy a little dissatisfied.
It is said that Ma Ling's light work is the first in Liangshan, climbing mountains and mountains, passing through the forest and passing through dangers like walking on flat ground, which I admit that I really can't run you, but I am not bad at moving lightly, and staying will definitely not drag you down.
actually looked down on me and let me go first, it was really not enough brotherly righteousness......
"How can you not handle it?"
But when he said that Shi Qianzheng was thinking so, he heard a gust of wind in his ears, and a figure clicked on a branch behind him, and after borrowing his strength, he jumped over the heads of several people, like a big bird and seemed to float lightly in front of several people, and said with a smile.
The person who came was Ma Ling, the son of the god horse, and the first light master of Liang Shanjun's fast theory.
