Chapter 216: The Siege of Jingxi (2) -- Reinforcements
At the same time, the town of Longbang on the Qingyue border. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut this is the name of later generations, and now it is a land of slope beans. It is about 40 kilometers away from Jingxi, which is relatively close. When a strong man carrying a wine jar walked along the foot of the Seven Star Mountain in the slope bean group, he sang the song of the Zhuang people and walked forward briskly.
At this time, a cry suddenly came from the top of the mountain, asking what the strong man had picked. After hearing that it was wine, the man hurriedly asked the strong man to stop and hurriedly said that he wanted to buy it. It was also far away, and the strong man couldn't see the people on the top of the mountain clearly. I only know that the other party wants to buy wine, and my heart is also very warm.
Hurriedly picked up the wine jar and rushed to Qixing Mountain.
It's just that when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a few Qing soldiers holding iron guns suddenly jumped out of the cracks. Scared the strong man, he turned around and ran. But behind him, a few more Qing soldiers appeared, smiling obediently, and surrounded the strong men.
"A few military masters! I'm old and young! Please leave me alone! The strong man pouted and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Don't look at him and look strong, but he behaves very cowardly.
This made Qing Bing laugh even more perversely!
I saw a leading Qing soldier and said: "Leave the wine jar, and you can get out!" ”。 The tone was very contemptuous. The strong man didn't follow, crying and saying that he used it to sell money to treat the baby at home.
It's a pity that in this era, ordinary people are poor. Even those of them who served as soldiers were often in arrears of their wages. So he was very indifferent to this strong man crying poor.
After kicking a few times, the strong man finally thought about his life and went down the mountain like a mourner. But when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he suddenly turned around. Watching the Qing soldiers leave with his wine jar, he smiled meaningfully.
About half an hour later, one or two hundred soldiers dressed in colorful clothes secretly came to the foot of Qixing Mountain. Headed by Wang Kai, the head of the Java First Regiment and the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army Aiding Miao.
It turned out that this strong man who sold wine was arranged by him!
Because of the higher terrain of Qixing Mountain, the strategic location is more prominent, and it is close to the Qingyue border. So the Qing State built a fortress here to garrison soldiers. It's just that the Qing-Vietnamese border has always been relatively calm, so there are not many Qing soldiers in the fortress, only fifty or sixty people.
In order to annihilate them, Wang Kai came up with this method!
In fact, with 40,000 people to deal with these dozens of people, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble. But now it is unusual, more than 40,000 soldiers have run to the border of the Qing State, and they can't make too much noise. So in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, alarm the Qing army on the entire border. That's the only way they can go. It is also to prevent fish from slipping through the net, ventilating and leaking their whereabouts.
At that moment, Wang Kai climbed the mountain with the soldiers, thinking about quickly solving the troubles here. After all, according to the original plan, the volunteers should have been able to rush to Jingxi City as early as eight days ago. It's just that when I came, I was worried about being exposed, so the 40,000 volunteers were reduced to zero. In units of one or two hundred, they infiltrated the Qing-Vietnam border on a small scale.
As a result, something happened!
It is also Wang Kai who is unlucky. First, the guide who led the way, when crossing the river, encountered an undercurrent and drowned. Then I ran into a herd of wild elephants in estrus and chased them all the way. So that the whole team was scattered. Wang Kai and a small number of people, at that time, lost contact with the team sadly.
And most of the Vietnamese troops who followed him lived in the hinterland of Vietnam and had never been here. And a few Javanese Daming people have never even heard of Guangxi, let alone this ghost place in the border area.
As a result, they were lost in the reckless mountains and forests, so that the heavens should not be in order, and the earth and the earth were not spiritual.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were intensively trained to learn simple common sense of survival in the wild. If you get lost, you can tell from the path of the sun, the stars in the sky, and the flow of the river.
But since they got lost, it has been raining in the mountains and forests from time to time. Even if it stopped, thick dark clouds hung over the sky. The sun, the moon, the stars, etc., don't even think about it.
Even the river, they didn't find one.
It wasn't until they wandered around the woods for three or four days that they were favored by fate and discovered a small river. Overjoyed, they immediately walked down the river despite their fatigue. After another day or two, a very small village was discovered.
I thought that I could finally get out of trouble. But because of Wang Kai's appearance, they were almost treated as ghosts, arrested and burned to death.
It turns out that the people here live a very closed life, and they have been to the farthest place in their lives, from this mountain to that mountain. There are few people who have seen it! Except for the neighbors, few outsiders came in.
This vision and thinking are extremely traditional and backward.
Therefore, when they saw Wang Kai, a blonde and blue-eyed Westerner, leading more than a dozen yellow people in rags, they all thought that the ghosts in the mountains and forests had become spirits, and ran to the village to catch people and eat them.
So I couldn't help but say it, men, women, and children, collectively set out to catch Wang Kai and burn them to death.
Fortunately, although Wang Kai and the others looked down, they were born in the army. In the mountains and forests, food is also more abundant. So with all the strength, there is still something. As a result, all the people in the village were knocked down.
It can't be helped! Whoever calls these villagers, they will fight as soon as they come up! I don't listen to anyone at all!
It took a lot of effort to follow Wang Kai and wear out his mouth before the people in the village roughly believed that he was not a monster.
After that, under the leadership of the villagers, they successfully walked out of the mountain.
Thinking of these, Wang Kai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, praying in his heart that there would be no moths! It's been a long journey, and it's so unlucky! Let him, who had doubts about God, never dare to have the slightest doubt.
Maybe it was a sincere heart that touched God! Or maybe it's bittersweet. They made it to the top of the hill and approached the stone fortress.
Before he could get closer, he heard a snoring sound from inside. I saw those Qing soldiers falling on the wooden bed one by one, and there were a bunch of broken wine cans scattered on the ground. The disgusting smell of alcohol mixed with vomit and vomit drifted out of the fort with the air.
Wang Kai and the others stood at the door, unable to hold their breath.
In that wine, it was full of sweat medicine. Just one sip can make you sleep for hours. And these Qing troops actually drank up the two big wine jars. If you don't sleep until dawn, don't want to wake up.
With a hands-on motion, the soldiers drew their short knives from their waists in unison. In his sleep, he separated the throats of these Qing soldiers and ended their lives. After carefully searching the fort again and confirming that there were no living mouths. Wang Kaicai ordered someone to send a message to the mountain, so that the volunteers could pass through Qixing Mountain as soon as possible.
Watching the black pressure flow of people rushing towards Jingxi, Wang Kai's eyes also turned to the northeast. I silently hoped in my heart that the rebel army there would hold out for a little longer. (To be continued.) )
