Chapter 33: Night Attack
After reporting this matter to the county commander Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng said, how do you like to play, as long as I shoot the county seat without worry, as long as the above does not come to touch me, I am too lazy to care about you, I can get my money with peace of mind, whether it is to suppress bandits or conscription, you are happy.
Jiang Hong, who received permission from above, took Chen Dao, Huang Yuan, and 31 veterans who had been abducted from Hanoi, plus more than 300 peasants who had just been recruited and had not yet been transferred, and set off in a mighty manner.
Along the way, Jiang Hong instructed Huang Yuan and Chen Zhi to be in charge of half of the people, and those old soldiers were in charge of 10 recruits by themselves, who were familiar with the equipment and orders, and at least knew that after hearing the orders he had given, they knew how to rush forward and retreat, rather than being on the edge of the place.
Because they had to teach these recruits along the way, they had even a little bit of combat effectiveness, so it took Jiang Hong a lot of time, so that when the group arrived in Luojia Village, it was already a day later.
When the village chief of Luojia Village saw a team of more than 400 people, he knelt down excitedly and continued to salute Jiang Hong, and kept chanting in his mouth:
"Luojia Village is saved!! Luojia Village is saved!! β
Jiang Hong hurriedly helped the old man up and said:
"The old man doesn't have to make this big gift and torture the boy."
"It's just that I'm waiting for the arrival of the soldiers, I believe that the bandits in the mountains must also know, the soldiers are tired, we have decided to repair for a day, and tomorrow we will go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and I hope that the old man will prepare for it, so that the soldiers can have a good rest, what does the old man think?"
"Good, good." The old man excitedly said three yes in a row, and then turned around and went to prepare.
There is still a lot of time before sunset, Jiang Hong decided to sharpen his gun on the spot, not fast, according to his previous thoughts, Jiang Hong's more than 300 recruits among the Orion Hunter separated, about 30 people. Jiang Hong didn't intend to let these Orion orders be banned, this could not be done in a short period of time, but instead restrained the few combat forces in his hands.
These hunters wander in the mountains all the year round, fighting wits and courage with cunning prey all day long, and have developed a good eyesight and archery skills.
It's just that the standard bows and arrows in the army are different from the ones they use on weekdays, so it will take some time to get used to, which is why Jiang Hong doesn't plan to go into the mountains to suppress bandits in the first place. The hunters in Luojia Village heard that Jiang Hong planned to enter the mountains with the army to suppress the bandits, and they all came to express their willingness to follow the army into the mountains and do their part.
Jiang Hong was naturally very happy when he heard this, but at this time, the army did not bring so many bows, so he could only let the hunters use their own hunting bows that were much less powerful to fight, and the more than ten hunters said that they didn't need to care, and they used their own hunting bows, although they were not very powerful, but they shot accurately, and they didn't have to play a small role in the Orions under Jiang Hong's command.
Jiang Hong thought about this as soon as he thought about it, so he asked more than a dozen hunters to join in, and it was good to practice their hands. In this way, he actually has a long-range force of nearly 50 people in his hands, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
At night, Jiang Hong did not sleep in the house, but slept outside with his soldiers, people's hearts are a good thing, they can be collected on weekdays, and it is nothing to endure a little hardship.
At night, it was extraordinarily silent, a big full moon hung in the sky, and the tranquil moonlight sprinkled on the earth, as if it was covered with a layer of silver light. Jiang Hong lay on the ground, did not fall asleep, his heart was extremely calm, looking at Mingyue, thinking of his parents, thinking of those bad friends, thinking of all kinds of previous lives, tears did not know when his eyes wetted, and he choked a little.
After snorting a lot, Jiang Hong choked, got up and came to the wall and spit it out, scolding and scolding:
"Damn, why do you want to be so sad, isn't this looking for guilt?" After saying that, he gave himself a resounding slap in the face.
"Ho ho ho Jiang Hong covered his right cheek and squatted down, "Damn, it's too heavy, sizzle~~, it hurts." β
Jiang Hong, who covered it for a long time and felt that the pain had disappeared, stood up while rubbing his face, ah~~, it's still a little painful, I don't know if it will go down tomorrow, it's a little embarrassing, damn, I won't hit it so hard in the future.
Rubbing his face and returning to the same place and sitting down, he couldn't fall asleep, plus this slap, he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, looking at the round moon, what should he think?
It is said that Cao Cao was dormant at home during this time, right, he remembered that he resigned from Jinan by himself. Sun Jian's words, whether he was a taishou in Changsha, or whether he followed Huangfu Song to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, I forgot to remember.
As for Liu Bei, I remember this, and I'm still mixing in the plains, eh~~, he seems to be a county magistrate, damn, this guy who has wandered most of China is better than himself, and he is easy to rub. However, relying on his knowledge of the last two thousand years, it is not certain who will kill the deer, and these bandits are the first step he will take.
Anyway, you won't roll over, right? I don't seem to have sent anyone out to investigate, but there are people who keep watch at night, but they are at the entrance of the village, and the mountains are pitch black and you can see anything. These bandits don't come in the middle of the night, do they? They're just bandits, they don't have such a high IQ, right?
Jiang Hong, who was sitting on the ground, became more and more flustered the more he thought about it, and quickly got up and got Huang Yuan on the side, Huang Yuan looked at Jiang Hong sleepily, and asked puzzledly:
"My lord, what's the matter with calling the villain up so late?"
"Don't ask, quickly organize a few pairs of people to strengthen the guards, I always feel that something is going to happen." Jiang Hong said eagerly.
"No." Huang Yuan arched his hand helplessly, and went to do things with a tired face.
Once there is doubt in his heart, he will pay more and more attention to his surroundings, Jiang Hong looked at the surrounding dark mountains and forests, and there was always a bad feeling in his heart, and suddenly, there was a chickadee chirping in the mountains and forests on the left.
Jiang Hong's face changed greatly, he called all his subordinates up, and ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, and the group was ready for battle, but half an hour passed, except for a bird's call, nothing happened.
Jiang Hong couldn't help but wonder if he was nervous and overreacted, he still overestimated his opponents, they were just bandits. In the puzzled expressions of his subordinates, Jiang Hong said that the alarm was lifted, except for leaving a few teams of people to patrol the night, everyone had better rest, and they had to go to work tomorrow, no, what about fighting.
Chen Zhi looked at Jiang Hong helplessly, the dissatisfaction in his heart was all on his face, Jiang Hong walked up with a hippie smile, and promised that he would go back and find a few more military books for Chen Zhi, so that he could send Chen Zhi away.
There was nothing to do all night, Jiang Hong didn't sleep all night, seeing that the full moon was about to sink to the bottom, Jiang Hong knew that although it was still dark, the dawn was coming, even if it was safe to pass tonight, his tense nerves could finally relax.
Jiang Hong was going to enter the house that the old man had prepared for him and take a little rest, but just as Jiang Hong closed his eyes for two minutes, the soldier who was keeping vigil at the entrance of the village sounded the alarm.
Then there was no sound at the entrance of the village, and the soldiers on patrol blocked the bandits attacking at the entrance of the village, providing valuable time for the soldiers in the village who were still asleep, but fortunately, Jiang Hong had also engaged in a show before, and these recruits quickly found the old pawn in charge of themselves after they got up, and there was not much chaos.
However, Jiang Hong knew that the people at the entrance of the village could not stop those bandits for too long, and then a rain of arrows came from outside the village, which did not hurt too many people, but it made these hundreds of recruits panic, the unknown enemy, and the crisis that could come at any time almost made these recruits lose their ability to fight.
It's good to say that the recruits who were organized by the veterans finally eased up a little, and seeing that there were so many people on their side, the panic in their hearts also disappeared a little, picked up their weapons, and killed at the entrance of the village.
Just as the large army rushed to the entrance of the village, a group of bandits suddenly rushed out from behind the soldiers, and the number was not large, only twenty or thirty people, but the soldiers were killed.
In the darkness, finally someone couldn't bear the fear in his heart, threw down his weapon and fled with a scream, with the first one there was a second, as if it was a flood that opened the mouth, and it couldn't be stopped.
The military formation of hundreds of people was almost about to collapse, and the military spirit was gone, at this time, Jiang Hong stood up, slashed over a fleeing soldier with a knife, and then rushed forward, a knife into the chest of another deserter, and the blood gushing out sprinkled all over Jiang Hong's face, under the faint light of fire, like a demon.
Jiang Hong's brutality frightened those soldiers who had never even seen blood, and the blood on their faces fell drop by drop, and for a while, no one dared to flee anymore. Stopping the soldiers who were about to collapse slightly, Jiang Hong commanded loudly:
"Wang Gang! Cao continued! Xu Haoγγγγγγ "You act as an overseer, if anyone dares to escape, you will be beheaded directly by Lao Tzu, and you don't have to report to me." β
"No!!" Those people shouted loudly.
"Chen arrives! Cao Yi! Zhou Pengγγγγγγγ You come with me, and first deal with these fleas behind your ass to Lao Tzu!! Jiang Hong roared angrily.
"No!!"
Everyone had a cruel smile on their faces, at the beginning in Guangzong, the elite of the Yellow Turbans of hundreds of thousands of people in the city did not dare to go out of the city to fight, but today they were actually kicked in the face by these little thieves, and if they didn't chop up these miscellaneous pieces, they couldn't stand the four words of the Great Han Soldier.
These bandits will be the opponents of the elite soldiers who crawled out of the battlefield and from the pile of dead, although the number is small, they are still killed and retreated, especially Chen Dao, a spear dances vigorously, and the bandits can't stop the edge at all.
After a while, this group of bandits has been completely killed, Jiang Hong then immediately stopped, with the recruits who were slightly more stable, pressed towards the entrance of the village, those bandits at the entrance of the village saw that the number of officers and soldiers pressed up, and they could not be defeated, so they immediately ordered to retreat, Jiang Hong chased and killed the soldiers for a while, and then stopped.
Looking at the bandits fleeing in the mountains and forests, the sun had not yet risen, and it was too dangerous to rush in, Jiang Hong could only hold back the anger in his heart and lead people back to the village.
