Chapter 119: Realm Domain

Shen Jia did not answer Li Fulai's request directly, this is war, everything needs to be adapted according to the specific situation, and easily promising means that the war situation will change around the promise, and Shen Jia does not want to fall into the shackles prematurely. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Battalion Commander Li, settle down the soldiers and rest early, you are the same, you are guaranteed to have a battle tomorrow!"

Hearing that Instructor Shen assured that there would be a fight, Li Fulai immediately smiled. Looking at the back of Li Fulai's departure, Shen Jia suddenly remembered Zhao Changshun who rushed to the front, and he didn't know how he was progressing.

On the shore of Salhu Lake, it was pitch black all around, and a group of Ming troops was preparing to cross the water.

"Ergou squad leader, just one boat, just ten of us to cross the river, is it too little?"

"Damn, either call me squad leader Li, or call me squad leader, you call me Ergou squad leader again, be careful that Lao Tzu throws you into the water."

The little soldier who asked the question obviously didn't understand Li Ergou's temper, he touched his head embarrassedly, and smiled at Liu Ergou.

Li Ergou glanced at the dark distant mountains in the night, and said in a deep voice: "There is a boat, and there are many people who need to cross the lake back and forth, and it is easy to expose the target, don't you understand this truth?" Give me all the details, be sure to put away the explosives bag and grenades, don't let the water get wet, if anyone drops the chain at the critical moment, Lao Tzu promises to let him be a person again. "Li Ergou is an authentic outsider, rough and funny, but also careful. The reason why Zhao Changshun chose Li Ergou was because Li Ergou had conducted many reconnaissances on the Boundary Domain City, and he almost memorized the terrain.

"Don't worry, squad leader, everyone has experience, and there will be no problems, but this new mine, after listening to Instructor Shen, I am still a little worried, what if something goes wrong then?"

"What's not to worry about, Instructor Shen explained, as long as you follow the steps to ensure that you are nine out of ten, and now that midnight has passed, Jiannu sleeps like a dead pig, Lao Tzu just rushes in and chops his head, they may not be able to detect it, what do you have to worry about!"

Seeing that the squad leader was full of confidence, the rest of the soldiers adjusted their mentality and quietly got on the boat. Soon, the boat sailed from the shore and slowly sailed towards the center of the lake, and the Ming army was silent and silent. There was no light in the dark night, and a small boat quietly rowed across the middle of the lake, carrying the hope of the Ming army, and secretly rowed to the opposite shore. After about half an hour, the boat crossed the lake more than two kilometers wide and reached the opposite shore. Li Ergou asked one of the warriors to stay behind and guard the boat to ensure the retreat, while the rest continued to march towards Tiebei Mountain with him.

The huge Iron Back Mountain, like a giant, stands in the dark night, looking at Salhu from afar. Tiebei Mountain is more than 200 meters high, surrounded by water on three sides, located at the confluence of Suzi River and Hunhe River, and the terrain is dangerous. On a clear dayday, you can see the surrounding area from the Boundary Castle on the Iron Back Mountain, and you can enjoy the water. It was dark at this time, and it was dark except for the sparkling lights of the Realm Domain. The night breeze blows, and the lake water laps on the shore of the lake in waves, like the roar of a wild beast, which is eerie and terrifying.

Li Ergou slowly moved to the top of the mountain along the grass next to the main road. There is a sentry halfway up the mountain, and several Eight Banner soldiers are responsible for guarding. Today's luck was very good, and when I passed the sentry, the guards who had been guarding the sentry had long since disappeared. Li Ergou still escaped from the nearby grass for insurance. Climbing a mountain is very tiring, especially when a cat shuttles quickly in the dark. Fortunately, the physical training of a group is the most durable, so for Li Ergou and his companions, these are not the worst.

After climbing for about half an hour, Li Ergou ordered everyone to rest for a while. Creeping in the grass, Li Ergou's eyes stared directly at the fire on the city gate, but his mind had already flown back to Tieling a year ago. Li Ergou's whole family of seven died under the Tartar knife, three sisters, and a younger brother. Whenever Li Ergou thought of his family, a cloud of anger rolled around in his heart.

Li Ergou put away his thoughts, quietly took a long breath, and tried his best to calm down his restless heart. Tonight is a memorable day, and it is also an important moment, and we cannot let the good situation go to nothing because of personal impulse. Thinking of this, Li Ergou turned over and lay on the ground, looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, and beckoned his companions to move on.

Soon everyone touched the vicinity of the Boundary Domain. Li Ergou did not act in a hurry, he and his companions lurked, waited for about a quarter of an hour, found out the rules of the guards' activities, and then began to prepare the plan. Although the city of the boundary domain is called the city, the Jiannu is only hastily built, and it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, and the city of the boundary domain is just a large stockade. The castle is surrounded by wooden rafts on three sides, and in front of it is a stone wall more than two meters high.

Calculating the time, Li Ergou and the other three quickly hid in several stone corners, lit the fuse, and secretly threw the explosive bag in from the outside. The explosives pack was made with an elongated lead, enough time for the four to escape. The four of them ran twenty meters away along the grass, then stood up and walked along the main road down the mountain, ignoring the guards shouting behind them, whistling past like tigers descending the mountain.

After running a few dozen meters, there was already a noise behind them, and the patrolmen of the Eight Banners Army spotted the sneak attackers, and they focused all their attention on the main road in front of the city gate. Li Ergou ignored it and continued to jump wildly. As several loud rumbles came from behind him, the Realm Domain City was in chaos, and the shouts were especially clear in the silent night. Li Ergou looked back and saw several buildings in flames, probably because the explosion ignited some wooden buildings.

Two months ago, Mang Gurtai was ordered to garrison the Boundary Domain, although he was angry, but due to the situation, he was also cautious on weekdays. It's just that Mang Gurtai didn't expect that the heavily garrisoned Boundary Domain City would also be attacked by the enemy. At the first moment of the explosion, Mang Gurtai was awakened, he jumped out of bed, looked at the flames rising from the window, and was immediately startled. With the bitterness of the Battle of Fushun vividly vivid, Mang Gurtai hurriedly dressed and asked the soldiers who came to report the news, confirming that it was only a small group of enemies who threw explosives and blew oil lamps into buildings, causing a fire.

Mang Gurtai hurriedly ordered his soldiers to put out the fire, and told the guards to hold their positions and not to move around at will, and at the same time he ordered the red flag Niu Lu to be dressed and prepare to go out to search for the enemy.

Li Ergou ran hundreds of meters, and after joining up with several other mine-laying fighters, he continued to move quickly down the mountain. Halfway up to the half-waist, the guard post has been lit with giant oil lamps, which are particularly dazzling in the dark night. Most of the sentry posts in this era were built to prevent long-range shooting by crossbowmen, so little attention was paid to the blind spots of close attacks, which gave Li Ergou a chance.

Li Ergou quickly went around to the dead corner, threw out two grenades with his back against the fence, and as the explosion sounded, the giant oil cup was blown to the ground, and the fire was blazing.

"Damn, it's really lucky!"

Hearing the shouting of the Houjin soldiers inside, Li Ergou patted the soldiers next to him and threw two more grenades into it. Li Ergou took advantage of the explosion and the chaos in the sentry post to quickly retreat towards the lake with everyone. The noisy shouting on the Iron Back Mountain continued, and the Eight Banners carried torches to search down the mountain. It didn't take long for the intermittent sound of explosions to reach the ears of the Ming army.

"Squad leader, listen, it's our mines that have sounded, and Jiannu has some play now."

"Count the explosions, confirm how many are blown up, Xiaoshan, there seems to be a ferry over there, you take a few people over and sink the ferry, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be targeted by Jiannu."

The explosions by the lake were one after another, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners halfway up the mountain knew that the enemy was below at this time, but they did not dare to walk around, so they could only carefully use torches to get to the ground and look for suspicious tripwires, for fear of causing a hidden explosion.

The hesitation of the soldiers of the Eight Banners gave Li Ergou a chance, and they boarded the boat and rowed quickly to the opposite shore. It took a long time for the soldiers of the Eight Banners to slowly approach the sentry post halfway up the mountain. After searching for a long time, the soldiers of the Eight Banners did not find explosives, so Niu Lu Ezhen ordered a rapid march. Just when the Houjin soldiers were about to arrive at the foot of the mountain, two explosions in a row in the darkness blew the dense crowd into flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who had escaped by chance, cowered and hid behind, saying nothing and refusing to take a step forward.

Niu Lu was really a little scared, he didn't know how many explosives the Ming army had planted in the ditch and ditch, this was pitch black, in case he landed, his legs couldn't walk, not to mention, and it might hurt his life, which was something that the Eight Banners warriors couldn't bear.

Niu Lu Ezhen sent someone to report to Mang Gurtai, and after hearing the news, Mang Gurtai was furious and whipped the informant in public. Anger is anger, and Mang Gurtai doesn't want to make this matter known to everyone. With Huang Taiji's character, for this trivial matter of sesame mung beans, maybe he will find some reason to humiliate himself.

The castle was exploding, and the sound of explosions could be heard from far away on the other side of the lake, which the guards had not noticed because they were busy dealing with the incoming enemy. By the time the enemy had crossed the lake, the sound of explosions on the opposite side was clearly audible. Mang Gurtai climbed the city wall and looked into the distance, the opposite bank was pitch black, and he could not see anything. He sighed, knowing that the few sentry posts on the other side might not be able to be saved.

After pondering for a while, Mang Gurtai ordered the group down the hill to withdraw, while strengthening the sentry posts and patrols, and waiting for dawn to make a decision.

Zhao Changshun on the north bank almost at the same time, successfully solved several guard towers on the north bank. After the sharp knife company and Li Ergou rounded, they hurried to the assembly place to rest. After tossing and turning for almost a night, everyone was tired, and when they arrived at their destination, they ate something and fell asleep.

At dawn, the scouts on duty reported that there seemed to be movement in the Boundary Domain, and a large number of Jiannu came out in formation, as if they were going to bypass Salhu and head towards the north bank. Zhao Changshun was overjoyed, and the fish finally took the bait. Regardless of fatigue, Zhao Changshun ordered the company to pack up and move quickly in the direction of Yingpan Mountain.

Shen Jia, who was stationed in Yingpan Mountain, issued an order that shocked everyone in the early hours of the morning. He asked Liu Wu to hand over the two full companies of the first battalion to Li Fulai, and form a reinforced battalion with the second battalion, which swept along the valley and quickly swept to the east of Yingpanshan, and was responsible for leading Zhao Changshun's spearhead company.

Liu Wu and Li Fulai were extremely dissatisfied with Shen Jia's crazy order, they thought it was very dangerous, and the city of Salhu on the other side of the lake was eyeing each other, and they could not hold the retreat no matter how they could rely on a crippled company. Shen Jia smiled at this and said, "The third battalion and the fourth battalion are on their way, and they are estimated to be almost there." ”

Hearing this, Li Fulai realized that Instructor Shen had already calculated, so he ordered an urgent gathering, packed up, and resolutely embarked on the journey under the eyes of Shen Jia and his party. After sending Li Fulai away, Liu Wu was a little idle and asked, "Instructor Shen, what are we going to do next?" You can't wait here. ”

"Hey, you're Liu Wu, doesn't it hurt to be idle? You send a platoon to the shore to change the guard, let them squat on the north bank, and once there is movement on the surface of the Sarhu water, report it quickly! ”

Li Fulai's second battalion didn't catch the battle last night, which made him a little angry. Receiving an order in the early morning, he gathered his troops as fast as he could, and rushed to the east of Yingpan Mountain at great speed. Between Yingpan Mountain and Jilin Cliff, there are many sentry posts scattered in Lala. Li Fulai took the company as a combat unit and took advantage of the cavalry's rapid movement to rush and attack fiercely. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the Ming army advanced a full thirty miles to the east, and all the posts along the way were uprooted.

The sharp advance speed made it difficult for the Eight Banners Army to adapt for a while, and the soldiers who fled were not in a hurry to report to the next station, and they were taken down by the Ming army that suddenly arrived in one fell swoop. The soldiers of the Eight Banners panicked, some of them continued to run along the official road, while others lost their armor and hid in the jungle.

The vanguard of the Ming army connected with the retreating spearhead, and soon Zhao Changshun saw Li Fulai, who was smiling like a flower.

"Li Fulai of the dog day, all the cheap behind Lao Tzu, what did Instructor Shen say?" Zhao Changshun and Li Fulai have a good relationship on weekdays, and they are both cheap-mouthed.

"Fuck you, Instructor Shen asked me to pick you up, I heard that you touched the Realm Domain City again, how did you do this time?"

Zhao Changshun smiled weirdly, walked over, leaned over to Li Fulai's ear and asked, "Do you want to do a ticket and make a big one?" ”

Li Fulai nodded and looked at Zhao Changshun with a puzzled face. Zhao Changshun was extremely familiar with the nearby terrain, and he knew that there was a valley terrain suitable for ambushes two miles away, about 100 meters long, and the sides were covered by shrubs, which was very suitable for lurking, and could block the opponent's cavalry, and it happened to be stuck on the main road. Tell Li Fulai what he wants, Li Fulai thought about it for a while, and immediately agreed.
