Chapter 157: Night Attack on the Spirits
Liu Ji proposed a night attack plan, which was supported by Zhang Cai and other expedition officers, and they got together to plan how to make a difficult night attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Feng raised a concern and said: "We are only facing the southern branch of the Funi Ministry, there are more than 1,000 soldiers who can fight, even if we destroy him, I am afraid that we will provoke the east and west branches of the Funia Ministry, then we still have to face the attack of the 2,000 troops of the Funi Ministry, what should we do at that time?" ”
"Our expedition on the right will not be able to do well since the battle with the Tatar people today, and we will not be able to complete the task given to us by His Royal Highness King Yan. The night attack will not change the destruction of this Evil Tribe, it will only provoke more attacks from the Evil Tribe. After thinking about it, I could only report to King Yan truthfully, ask for help, and transfer the garrison of the Governor's Mansion of Dongzha Prefecture to come and deter the Yan tribes with absolute force. In this way, we will be able to continue to fulfill the tasks assigned to us by His Highness. ”
Hearing Liu Ji say this, although Zhang Cai, Yu Feng and the others felt uncomfortable, they had no other way, nodded and agreed, after all, they had done the task assigned by His Royal Highness, and they couldn't either be annihilated here by the Ya people, or run back in disgrace!
Next, Liu Ji sent three messengers and ordered them to hurry back to Zha Cheng to report to Wang Hu, the Xuanwu Wei general stationed in Zha Cheng, and then deliver the message to Pyongyang.
This place is only more than 400 miles away from Zhacheng, and when you come, you have to be unfamiliar with the place and walk slowly along the road. The messenger returned to the road that had been opened, and it was expected that he would be able to reach Zhaseong in three days and Pyongyang in five days.
That is to say, after a maximum of half a month, the garrison of the Dongzha Prefecture Governor's Mansion will be able to reach this place.
Zhang Cai worriedly suggested: "Then should we wait for the arrival of the army before launching a night attack?" If it's early, and the army hasn't arrived yet, we'll have to face at least a thousand well-prepared Tatar attacks, and we'll have no choice but to escape. ”
"I said Lvshuai Zhang, why did you become so timid after the First World War today?" Zeng Xiong, who had a cross-erhu face, showed disdain, and his voice was a little yin and yang.
Zhang Cai was furious and argued forcefully: "You are a reckless man, how do you know that you should consider the whole situation for the general, and there must be no reason for luck, no wonder you are just a team leader in the old battle." ”
"You ......" Zeng Xiong was choked back for a while, he and Zhang Cai, Liu Ji and others entered the Yanwangfu Ruishi Security Firm at the same time as a guard, and Wu Yong was above Zhang Cai. The transfer to Anton's army is also the same batch of the same brigade as soldiers. After a few battles, he killed a lot of enemies by himself, but he was only promoted to the top of the team. Zhang Cai was promoted to become a brigade commander and became his superior, not to mention that Liu Ji also became a captain, and their fellow countryman Uncle Xiao became a captain.
Zeng Xiong was extremely unconvinced, Zhang Cai poured salt on his wound at this time, and his contemptuous eyes made him extremely angry.
"Alright, I've got my own decision on the night attack!" Liu Ji saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he suppressed it loudly to prevent the two who did not deal with each other from expanding the suspicion.
"The night attack is scheduled for tomorrow, and the military book often says that if you are a general, you should take it by surprise if you are not prepared. It's been a long time, and I'm afraid it's the damaged people who have found a helper to catch us off guard. ”
As soon as Liu Ji made the final decision, the generals listened to the order and quickly sent sentry cavalry to reconnoiter their lair in the direction of the escape of the Yan people, and the rest of the people hurried to eat and recuperate.
At dawn on the second day, the sentinels returned, and reported to Liu Jiyu the location of the nest of the Tatar people, and as the captives said, there was a large village surrounded by a wooden fence on the plain only sixty-three miles north of this place.
According to the observation of the sentinels, the village sent two waves of people to the north and northwest early in the morning.
"Fuck, this fucking is going to call for help." Zeng Xiong roared.
Liu Ji knew that the situation was urgent, and he couldn't allow them to delay time, so he ordered the soldiers to get on their horses and go straight to the village of the Tatar people after they had eaten and drunk.
I don't know how far apart the southern branch of Fune is from the east and west branches, if it is close, then wouldn't today's night attack directly fall into it?
How could it be so fast? The people of the Tatar are not like the Tang Dynasty that has a standing army, and they can be dispatched as soon as they receive an order. Liu Ji smiled self-deprecatingly.
The village of the southern branch of the Funebe was located in the twin cities of the Primorsky Territory of Russia, surrounded by two rivers. The trees between the two rivers have been cut down due to long-term human activity, creating a large grassland, and small patches of cultivated land can be seen to the north.
It's just that the people are still stuck in the primitive and backward farming technology of slash-and-burn farming, and the whole cultivated land is sparsely pulled, and the weeds are higher than the wheat seedlings that have just sprouted, and it is really impossible to see how much grain can be received in the autumn harvest.
The area where the Fune Department is based is a plain area with a good climate and topography around Xingkai Lake, and it is also known that cultivated land is cultivated for farming.
If this goes further north, the other tribes of the Tatle do not know what agriculture is, and their lives depend entirely on fishing and hunting.
The village of the Tatar people is close to the left bank of the river to the east, and on the right bank is the gradually undulating mountains, covered by dense forests, just like an expedition team silently touching the eyes and noses of the Tatar people from the forest.
The amount of water in that river was neither large nor wide, at most it did not reach the knees of the war horses, and it did not play a protective role in the village at all. The fence of the village is no more than six feet high, and the thick branches are inserted into the ground and fixed with ropes.
The 113-man expedition on the right side fought yesterday, and after sending back the messenger, there were still more than 80 people left, lying in ambush in the jungle across the river from the village of the Tatar people, waiting for night to come.
When the sky gets dark, the gate of the village is closed.
Zhang Cai led forty horsemen to quietly follow the small ditch between the two rivers, and under the cover of the night and the tall weeds, they touched the west gate of the village of the Yan people, and only needed to rush a few hundred meters to break into the village.
The best time to attack at night is, of course, when people are most sleepy, and Liu Ji chose to launch a time attack.
The soldiers of the expedition lay on their stomachs in the grass, silently nibbling on the meat that had been roasted during the day and then in the morning cold and the dry food they had brought with them when they left the city.
"Captain, it's time to come!"
"Order, everyone get on the horse."
After the east side of the village was broken, Zhang Cai took advantage of the chaos of the people who were attracted to the east, and attacked from the main gate to achieve the effect of surprise and east-west attack.
"Let's go!"
Liu Ji drew his sword and waved, and more than forty cavalrymen slowly walked out of the jungle where they were hiding.
"Kill ......"
As Liu Ji roared, the whole team shouted and killed, and the horse suddenly accelerated, and quickly stepped across the river and rushed to the opposite bank to rush straight to the village of the Ya people.
The night watchman was dozing off, awakened by a sudden roar, rubbing his eyes and looking at it in horror, the cavalry came from nowhere, wielding a sword that glittered in the moonlight.
"Enemy Attack ......"
"Whoosh"
The people who were guarding the camp on the fence were shot in an instant, and the simple gate of the fence was quickly moved open by the expedition soldiers.
"Enemy attack...... Ah......h
The sleeping Nogajiao was awakened by the constant sound of shouting and killing, and despite the sharp pain in his left arm, he stood up and opened a corner of the room.
I saw that a group of outsiders who he led to attack and kill yesterday were in his own village, slashing and killing his own people everywhere, and setting fire to the houses of the tribesmen one after another with torches.
Nuo's wife was frightened and hid in the quilt and didn't dare to show her head.
Thinking of the shame of being defeated by the other party's cold arrow yesterday, Nuo took out his almost scrapped steel knife and rushed out of the house.
The entire eastern part of the village was set on fire, and the village was filled with the cries of women and children and the angry roars of men.
Liu Ji and others relied on the advantage of the cavalry, and the night attack was strange, and they killed the sleeping Tatar people by surprise, and the Tatar people who rushed out of the house in a panic were cut down by the soldiers who rushed up before they could see it clearly.
Now, the entire eastern part of the village is broken, men, women and children flee in all directions, giving the expedition soldiers the convenience of slashing and slashing, and the horizontal knife passes, and there is a sound of ghosts crying and howling.
Nuo's eyes were about to split, and he wanted to raise his knife and step forward to slash and kill these thieves, but he had to run to the west of the village that had not yet been breached, and summoned the clansmen who had heard the sound to kill these thieves together.
