Chapter 47: Surprise Attack (1)
After Liu Keguan arrived, Shen Yikui stopped the siege of Qingyang Mansion.
Shen Yikui and the other masters all had a good night's sleep, and they didn't have to worry about the future. All the big bosses had a good time with their brothers, and all of them went back to their respective quarters to rest.
Many of the leaders in Zhang Mengjin's camp also returned to their tents, and Zhang Mengguang was in charge of the night's patrol in shifts. This is not good news for the other night guards in the cottage.
Zhang Mengguang, who has the strongest military atmosphere in the cottage, has very strict requirements for the discipline and training of his subordinates on weekdays. Even if it was the New Year's festival in the Jinding Mountain Cottage, he did not allow the soldiers of the cottage to be a little slack. Coupled with Zhang Mengguang's somewhat rough temper, no one dared to make a mistake under him.
Zhang Mengguang has longed for his uncle who returned from the army since he was a child, and he also hopes that he can make a career in the army in the future and change the poverty situation of his family.
After joining the army, Zhang Mengguang followed Du Wenhuan to fight in the south and north of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not the longest in the army up and down Jinding Mountain. But he must be the one who has seen the most battles among the many people with military experience in Jinding Mountain.
After many years of combat experience, Zhang Mengguang had many brothers who depended on each other in life and death, but he lost them forever because of a moment of laxity.
Countless times close to the brink of death allowed Zhang Mengguang to hone his skills, and at the same time instilled in him the quality of a professional soldier. Zhang Mengguang knows that any small mistake may cost him or his own life.
Previously, on the 14th day of the first lunar month, outside the city, if Zhang Mengguang had not been outside the city while patrolling the city, most of the attacks of the official army would not have been successful. In the next few battles outside the security city, the subordinates led by Zhang Mengguang were not veterans trained by Jin Dingshan, they were all mixed with a large number of hungry people, and most of the other leaders were rabble. That's why he was repeatedly attacked by Zuo Guangxian with cavalry, and Zhang Mengguang has always been dissatisfied with this.
After taking over the shift from the yawning Che Jibao, Zhang Mengguang began his inspection with several of his subordinates. Although the time was not enough for him to train the newly acquired subordinates well, some of the things that were repeatedly emphasized could still achieve some results. Now in Zhang Mengjin's subordinates, all teams have dug their toilet pits, and no one can go out to the camp at night to relieve them.
Zhang Mengguang came to a rest place for the cavalry and knocked the Diao Dou in his hand three times.
Immediately, one of the horsemen tapped his armor five times in response, indicating that someone in his team was on duty for the night.
Zhang Mengguang heard that the number of knocks was correct, so he walked in the direction of the infantry camp, and when he was halfway there, he ran into a patrol led by a veteran of Jinding Mountain.
The patrol leader shouted vigilantly at the figure in the night, "Who's coming?" Although there were many new recruits in the patrol, they still followed the captain in an orderly manner and put on a defensive formation.
"It's me, who are you?" Zhang Mengguang listened to the other party's voice and knew that the patrol captain was a veteran he had brought in Jinding Mountain. After replying, Zhang Mengguang was silent, he planned to see how the other party answered.
If the other party's response is correct, Zhang Mengguang will give this person a pass in the subsequent evaluation. But if the other party makes a mistake in replying, such as telling the names of both parties, Zhang Mengguang will definitely write down a board for him.
The patrol leader already knew who was coming, but he still didn't let his team put away their weapons. He just replied seriously, "It's me, Liuhe." After saying that, the patrol leader continued to be on guard, waiting for the other party's answer.
Seeing that the patrol captain did not make a mistake, Zhang Mengguang expressed his satisfaction, and at the same time responded to the patrol leader: "Pen shelf." ”
After confirming the overnight number with the patrol team, Zhang Mengguang walked over and gave him a satisfied smile when he passed by the patrol leader.
The patrol leader who was on the mission this time also breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't salute Zhang Mengguang like during the day, he just left directly with his team.
Zhang Mengguang came to the rest area of the first team of infantry and knocked the Diao Dou in his hand three times.
The night guard of the infantry team quickly grabbed a small stick and knocked it five times on a piece of wood in response.
Zhang Mengguang found that there was no problem and left here satisfied. After that, he changed several camps of other infantry teams, and except for one recruit in the infantry team, the other teams that were assessed passed smoothly.
As for the captain of the team to which the recruit belonged, he was directly pulled up from his sleep by Zhang Mengguang and severely reprimanded. As for whether this recruit will be punished by his captain in the future, it is not something that Zhang Mengguang is worried about.
Zhang Mengguang inspected the open and secret posts in various parts of the camp, and after finding no problems, he returned to the Chinese army's tent in the camp.
Replacing He Zongwei on duty, He Zongwei inspected the camp again, and then he could go back to his tent to rest. So he cheered up and took a few of his subordinates around him to start his last work tonight. At the same time, he recalled how many times he should knock on the fight, and what was the content of the night number.
It's just that before He Zongwei walked out, there were shouts of killing from the other big boss camps. To the east of their camp, the sound of the three-eyed gun and some shouts of killing were also heard, and the camp on the east side released three rockets that alerted the police soon after.
Zhang Mengguang, who found that the situation was not good, immediately asked a group of elite soldiers who were guarding near the Chinese army to rush to the east, and then he quickly asked the soldiers closest to the Chinese army to leave the rest area and immediately gathered in front of the Chinese army's big tent.
During the assembly of the team, Zhang Mengguang heard the shouting and screaming of some of the hungry people in his new camp because of panic.
But then came the last screams of the starving people, and these screams caused some confusion in the camp. But in the end, there was no big commotion, and soon normal order was restored to the camp. It seems that the veterans around the camp reacted quickly, and they had already stabilized the order of their squads.
Not long after the camp was quiet again, He Zongwei finally rushed back at this time. The waist knife in his hand was also stained with blood, and most of it belonged to one of the screams just now.
When He Zongwei arrived, he told Zhang Mengguang that there were hungry people in the camp who were not in order and had been killed by him. At the same time, when he returned to the big tent, the rest areas of several teams he passed by had already lined up and were ready.
After Zhang Mengguang listened to his report, he immediately gave him a small order flag and asked him to start acting.
He Zongwei took this flag and immediately rushed to the east of the camp with a team of fifty people outside the tent who had just been assembled.
Soon after He Zongwei set off, Zhang Mengjin, the big boss of Jinding Mountain, finally came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after Zhang Mengguang reported the situation, he quietly stayed by Zhang Mengjin's side.
The other masters in the camp of Jinding Mountain also woke up at this time and returned to their posts. Take your subordinates to guard in your own defense area, while waiting for the orders of the Chinese army's big tent.
