- "Beiming Epic: Song Qin Qiong"
I took my fishing tackle and wandered out, passing by the military tent where Huang Chun and Qin Qiong lived, and I could hear the jubilation inside, I guessed that I had to reward everyone for frolicking in it.
Thinking that Qin Qiong would be my brother-in-law in the future, I took advantage of the evening rest in the army at this time, and it was good to make a fuss and shorten the distance, so I opened the curtain and went in. But seeing that Huang Chun was not here, many soldiers in Qin Qiong's scout camp and Cheng Yanwu's cavalry camp were playing guessing boxing with thumb battle orders inside.
Therefore, Prince Panjing has explicitly forbidden things such as playing cards and gambling in the army, and this thumb battle order has also made a group of boys have a good time.
I looked at it carefully for a while, and the general rule is that two people punch and guess the number of punches, and the guess number is the sum of the numbers of the two punches.
If one of the numbers shouted is exactly the sum of the numbers given by the two players, they win. There is also this way to play in the new Vietnamese army, and the Confucian generals who are familiar with literature and ink will also find some new words to order, such as: a handful of snow, two into the palace, three forks, four jinshi, Wutai Mountain, June snow, seven star lights, eight sledgehammers, Jiujiangkou, ten books, double package case.
Or: love at first sight, two springs reflecting the moon, three plum blossoms, four seas shengping, five more drum horns, six six Shun, seven capture Meng Huo, eight immortals across the sea, Kyushu cold and summer, cross dust, two fists and four hands.
I put my fishing gear aside and wanted to play with one or two of them, but I heard Qin Qiong smile without raising his head and saying, "Brother-in-law doesn't have to be polite, go fishing by himself, and let us martial artists make trouble together."
General Huang also went fishing, saying that it was a fishing tea ceremony, all of which were lonely pleasures, dragging a good mouthful, he was lonely from his high standards, and you went to make trouble for him on behalf of his brother."
I knew that he was rude and arrogant, and he felt that he was not very close to me, but he loved his young sister very much, so he was already full of brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, and my heart was also funny, so I had to put my hand away, re-lift my fishing tackle, and go to the beach to find Huang Chun.
Walking to the seaside, Wuzi is open-minded, and the world is wide.
Looking back at the camp of the sailors, but feeling the mountains and forests, looking forward to the front and back, there are doors in and out, advancing and retreating, divided into sixteen gates to the north, resisting the sea breeze and waves, the balance of the warship with good operability, the bird boat is on the outside, and the aggressive and slightly less balanced Mongqi warship and the building ship are on the inside.
Listed as a city, a small boat in Tibet, undulating in an orderly manner, the heart of the general and Prince Jing with troops, indeed the name is well deserved, so arranged, even and the art of war, and the development of strengths and avoid weaknesses, has been done very well.
And on the Nanping Mountain in the south of the naval camp, the scout camp is equipped with a sentry, nine feet high, as three layers, the shield is ringed, and the sentry is the first to go out from the top to send a sentry, with letter flags and various colors of smoke miasma for the purpose of transmitting military information.
In fact, between Wei Yu City and our sailor camp, there is also a secret sentry set up, hidden in it, and the eye is not ready to see it at this moment.
Look at the ebb and flow of the tide on the sea, the rocks piercing the air, the waves crashing on the shore, the surging sea fog, and the sun is hazy.
The transcendent vitality contained in the sea, the blue as jade, the green as the sparkle of silk, the indescribable grandeur and beauty.
It is no wonder that Cao Cao, the hero of the year, also had a poem "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to watch the sea." The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it. The stars are splendid, if out of it. Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. β
I looked at the sea and smiled, looked at the fishing gear in my hand, and looked at the surging tide, and after thinking about it, I felt more and more ridiculous.
Huang Chun took off his hat, took off his coat, pulled up his trouser legs, and stepped barefoot from the sand from a distance, looking very funny, and I couldn't help laughing. But he crossed his hands on his hips and said to me, "What are you laughing at?" β
"I laugh at you and me for fishing, and I'm a soldier on paper," I said, walking over to him, "have you caught it?" β
Huang Chun scratched his head unprecedentedly, revealing a rare stupid look, and said, "I think I should find Pu Jianzhi from the baggage camp to ask for a small boat, some fishing nets, this tide is turbulent, and I have picked up a lot of small fish" He stretched out the bamboo basket and said to me:
"Look, this little fish has two moustaches, and it really looks like a samurai," but I didn't experience the joy of fishing at all, but I was wet by the waves. β
"I really have two beards, and I used to fish in the Ji River, but there was a kind of small catfish, with eight beards and a linn on my back. It seems that this kind of fish has never been seen, but I remember to read the Washu travelogue, and there are also in the Wa Guo Zhaoxun River.
Yellow Lin under the belly, with a slender face and two whiskers, they call it Chirp Fish or Yellow Cathod" I looked at his basket, and pinched the strange two-bearded little fish into his bamboo basket, and said, "It is better to be able to pick it up, as long as there is wine, why bother others to borrow a boat, not to mention that if an enemy scout comes to attack, it will cause trouble in vain." β
"That's right," Huang Chun sighed, "You say, how much grain is still in Wei Yu City?" After all, the siege of the city has been almost three months, and the enemy is visible with fatigue and embarrassment, but there is no sign of rout and disintegration, which is also very puzzling."
"What did the Lord of Hayama Island tell you?" I squinted and asked, "I think he must have said something untrue to you." β
"Hey, you know that it's all untrue, what's the use of me talking," Huang Chun said,
"The old fox of the lord of the island said that only his underground granary was in the city, and that Luo Wei had imprisoned his wife and children, and had robbed his granary, eaten his soldiers, and starved to death a few of his wives and soldiers.
It is said that they will secretly inform me when the reinforcements of the Luo Wei army are coming, that when the time comes, we can first attack the city of Wei Yu and slaughter the Japanese army in the city, and then put on the uniform of the Japanese army at the head of the city, lure the enemy sailors ashore, and then use the cannons of the head of the enemy Wei Yu City and our own firearms, fire arrows, and boulders to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese armyβif this is possible, it is really tempting. But, hey" Huang Chun frowned and said:
"In case of fraud, we go to attack the city with all our might, the Japanese army has secretly attacked the water division Dazhai, burning my grain and grass, the artillery of Wei Yu Chengtou is extremely powerful, and it will not be able to be attacked for a long time, and the back road will be cut off by returning to the division, once the enemy reinforcements arrive again, then we will be the disaster of the whole army."
"That's true," as soon as I heard this, I also deeply felt that what Huang Chun was worried about was true.
"This island owner clearly gave us a huge gamble, we don't know the truth, how dare we act rashly? According to the established plan, we surrounded the point to send reinforcements, besieged the city and feints, begged for its food and grass to be cut off, trapped and killed, the army ambushed and waited for its reinforcements to meet at sea, and attacked the lack of our firepower warships with poison, and sought a miserable victory to occupy Yushan Island,
It is that Xiami Island cannot be taken back for a while, and our overall delay makes Luo Wei dare not move lightly, after all, Yushan Island is located between Lingding Ocean and Luo Wei Honshu Island, which is a battle for soldiers, how can Xiami Island resist it, even if Xia Mi Island is located, Luo Wei does not dare to move lightly.
After a few years, the training arrangements of our army's new warships and firearms battalions will be ready to fight again, and it will be a sure thing. β
"Yes, and the strategy given by the island owner, if it is carried out without deception, it is not a tragic victory, but a complete victory, and this temptation is not light" Huang Chun said:
"If we encircle and send reinforcements as planned, in fact, we will have to fight an encounter at sea, although we can set up ambushes to encircle and annihilate, but the number of enemy soldiers and warships is not below our army.
And the combat power, firepower, and warships are superior to our army, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be a desperate battle, with countless casualties and a miserable victory. Although it can also achieve strategic goals, after all, I still feel deeply reluctant to give up on the soldiers.
I think that whether it is Prince Ning or Prince Jing, I am afraid that it is the same idea, so I am hesitant. β
"It's not absolute," I said, thinking of the casualties, and said:
"If I invite five hundred elite sergeants from the scout battalion to go to Wei Yucheng to further spy on the enemy's situation, and implement what the lord of Yushan Island said and the grain storage in the city, the two princes and General Zhu should have no reason to object, right?"
"You, hey, how can this work," Huang Chun pressed my shoulder and said:
"You were seriously injured last time you went to Weiyu City, and this time you fell into the enemy army, naturally some people will recognize you, it is difficult to disguise, and besides, others will not say it, Prince Ning and I, how can we bear to let you fall into death again and again? Even if it is to spy on the enemy's camp, it can also cause others to go. β
"Someone else? Apart from you and me, who else in the army has been walking around in Weiyu City for a few days and is familiar with all parts of the city, so can they take care of this? β
I looked at him and said, "You must not afford to lose, there is no one in the army to pay for the prolongation of the year, how can you do it:
My wisdom can't be compared with you, my martial arts are not as good as Qin Qiong and Qin Qing, and the layout and command of the battle formation can't be compared with the two princes and General Zhu, my biggest advantage is just that it is comprehensive, can be attacked and defended, and I can be put in any person's position, I can also deserve it, and I will not be derelict in my duties.
However, none of them are the best, so if I go, even if I go and there is no return, it will not hurt the overall situation, and you can't, there is no one in the army who can compare with your wisdom. β
"Don't forget, the first name of our first phase of the Dark Sentinel Martial Arts School is you Fu Yannian, not me Huang Chun, what you said you are like a useless 10,000-year-old spare tire, but you deliberately shame others?"
Huang Chun shook the cover in his hand, and the water stains were rattled, "This matter should indeed be investigated, but there must be a more suitable person, you and I only need to write down the terrain and all the familiar Wei Yu City in detail, in case of those who go to assassinate him."
As for the candidates, you are not allowed to invite yourself, and I will not provide candidates, and it will be left to the two princes and General Zhu to decide, can you agree? β
"Deal." I smiled, lifted my basket and said:
"Then you go and arrange yours, I will wait for the order, and when I also pick up a basket of fish, I will go back to draw a topographical map of the city and write annotations."
When I returned to the tent, I saw Qin Qing and Huang Chun both standing in the tent with embarrassed faces waiting for me.
When I saw them looking at each other, I had to look at Huang Chun first and ask, "What's wrong?" Didn't you go to report on the spy on Wei Yu City? The result? β
Huang Chun hesitated to look at Qin Qing, and Qin Qing said to me: "Just talking about this, Prince Jing and General Zhu have already ordered me to bring five hundred scout battalion elites to spy on the enemy." β
"Say what!" A burst of anger surged into my heart, grabbed Huang Chun's collar directly, looked at him viciously, my eyes were about to spurt blood, and said, "You did a good thing!" β
Qin Qing hurriedly came up and ripped me away, scolding me while caressing Huang Chun's collar:
"What are you doing, Huang Chun did his best, he invited himself to go, and let me go because the princes think I have the ability, what are you anxious about, it's not Huang Chun's idea"
"You don't know, he-" Although I let go of Huang Chun, I still didn't get angry, and said, "Don't let me go, but toss my daughter-in-law and son-in-law, what kind of heart is Ande?"
"It's really notβ" Qin Qing hurriedly said again. Huang Chun's eyes stopped her words. The three of them were silent for a long time. I asked, "When are you going?" β
"Tomorrow night," Qin Qingdao said.
I strode to the desk, picked up the pen and ink and carefully drew the details of the map, recalling while drawing, for fear of missing something, for a long time, I took the two or three pages of the drawn map and the detailed explanation to Qin Qing.
Huang Chun took out a few items from the package at his feet, and said to Qin Qing one by one: "This time I went, there are many dangers, although General Qin, you are strong in martial arts, you must also be careful, hidden weapons and poisons, although they are always said to be things that are not in the right way, but when it comes to assassinating spies, the effect is immeasurable." β
Qin Qing nodded, listened carefully, I also unconsciously looked at those few items, and saw that Huang Chun picked up a bow first, the bow was about eight inches long, the arrow was about two inches long, and the crossbow was roped at both ends, and said:
"This is a purple-backed flower crossbow, which is the top grade of the dark-haired crossbow, and it is a dark-haired crossbow, also known as the tight-backed low-headed flower crossbow. The crossbow is tied flat on the back, with two ropes, which are set on the two backs, and the other rope is attached to the waist from the crossbow machine, and the exit of the crossbow back is upward.
When you take it, run the arrow into the crossbow, buckle the string on the crossbow machine, when firing, the crossbow waist bows its head, and the rope tied to the waist is pulled downward, triggering the crossbow machine, and the arrow is shot from the back of the neck.
When it's time to put this object in the middle of the battle, brush it with an arrow," Huang Chun said, pulling a small red canister out from under the table, "This object will cause the surrounding air to take on a smoke-like shape when it is shot, and it can also create smoke while killing enemies with a crossbow and leaving a chance to escape." β
Qin Qing picked it up and looked at it, his eyes were shining, I was also concentrating, waiting for him to explain the next thing, but I didn't expect that this Huang Chun was not only wise, but also quite a bit of design talent, no wonder he was called Xiao Zhuge among his classmates.
I also saw that Huang Chun had taken a delicate and small flat box-like ornament, with a snap button on the back, seven inches long and three inches thick, with a row of trap boxes and more than ten small holes, he said leisurely,
"This thing is me and Kong Lifei, I have nothing to do, according to the ancient books of the Tang Sect secret weapon I made, there is only one, only for you, it is my improved rainstorm pear flower needle," he said, he buckled the back of the box on his belt, pressed the mechanism, more than ten small needles were sent out together, seeing that the size of the needle matched the length of the box, thinking that it was specially made, and listened to him go to the account on the small needle and take it off one by one, spread it out, and said:
"This needle is also made by myself with firearm scraps with plum blossom needles, and after shooting, it will be hit in five places, shaped like a five-petaled plum blossom, and it is very lethal, if you are not at ease, you can also quench the venom before setting off," he said, picking up a jar sealed with green cloth and said
"The poison in this altar is one of the gifts that Wang Geng gave me, and I give it to you. The antidote is camphor, honeysuckle, sylvestris leaves, light bamboo leaves, and sea sand ten grams each, and then crush the sea salt and take it orally with water, you can go to the medical officer and ask for enough medicine for each of the warriors who have taken the antidote in advance, so that in case you accidentally hurt your own people, you are not afraid of something, and you can be calmer when you start. β
"Then there are these bird guns, this is Prince Ning's private collection, it is said that they are all very good, especially took fifty of them, and the rest of the arquebuses, firearms, ammunition, divine smoke, divine killing, poisonous fire bombs, etc., General Qin can go to the baggage battalion to take them according to the order."
After Huang Chun finished speaking, his expression was a little gloomy, but he didn't see him say anything more.
I thought to myself that I had lost my sense of proportion, but I didn't say anything. I sat sullenly for a while.
