Chapter 127: The First Battle (4)

"Acquaintances?" Hearing the young man in front of him say this, several team officers all looked at each other, Feng Baoqun pondered for a moment, but asked Li Yongzhong: "Since Team Officer Li said this, is there an obstacle?" ”

Li Yongzhong nodded, did not hide it, and said calmly: "This person had some festivals with my family in the past, and later I heard that he was a bandit." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info East Sichuan is hundreds of miles away from here, let's go around in the mountains of Guizhou, and see a few Sichuan people? How did you see him? I've always been a person who likes to think too much, and I can't help but think deeper. Therefore, Aluomi is a must-go. ”

This explanation, although reluctant, cannot be said to be untenable. Zhou Qian had a straight temper, and muttered after listening to it: "Why did you implicate others in your own trouble?" But his voice was extremely low, and he obviously knew that this sentence didn't make much senseβ€”this was not what Li Yongzhong himself was willing to provoke! The three team officers looked at each other for a while, and Feng Baoqun tried to ask again: "Team Officer Li, the three of us are old, even if you are an old army for many years, you are not a person who does not know soldiers, this realm, the top of the sky, is to hide a few thousand people, and the army has come over to sweep tens of thousands of people, even if there are indeed those barbarian mountain bandits in front, but how dare they dare to take eggs and touch stones?" ”

This is also something that Li Yongzhong didn't understand, but he said something else: "Team Officer Feng said it well. The young man nodded in agreement with Feng Baoqun's words, and then changed his words and said: "But if the army is really attacked, even if this guy is slaughtered cleanly, won't we eat and hang up in the future?" Li Yongzhong asked rhetorically: "The eyes of the military gate and thousands of households are all masters who do not rub sand, and when the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and walk around, right?" ”

This sentence made the eyes of the three team officers flicker, and no one said anything for a long time. Li Yongzhong looked at the three of them, and said politely with a smile: "Team D is a newcomer, our trip to Aluomi is the little brother's insistence, and the matter of opening the road in the afternoon is still borne by Team Ding, let's not go far, calculate the distance, in fact, if there is really an ambush, they can't hide in the abandoned guardhouse, it must be nearby, there is really such a group of people, maybe they can meet in half an afternoon!" When the time comes, let's kill him by surprise and go back with military merits, won't we still be able to anger the rabbit cubs in the Xiangzi camp! ”

Hearing the word military merit, Zheng Guocai's heart moved, didn't he get something because of the attack on the Xianzi camp last time? Last time, they were still mentally calculated, but this time they switched positions with each other, if there was no ambush, it was just a trip for nothing, and it was a complete errand, but if they were asked to bump into the enemy, even if they checked quietly, without alarming the other party? That's a serious credit! There are only four teams in total, and they all score a lot!

Thinking of this, Zheng Guocai was enthusiastic for a while. He coughed, and when he saw that several other people were looking at him, he pretended to be a comrade who shared weal and woe and said, "What is Team Officer Li talking about!" Although Team D has not been in the camp for a long time, since they are eating in a pot at the head of the camp, they are brothers in the same room, not to mention that Team Officer Li is still the son and nephew of our thousands of households! Don't talk about the two brothers, Team Officer Li is reasonable, the rabbit cubs in the Xiangzi Camp don't like us in a bad way, and we have to find something to do on weekdays, but we can't do perfunctory errands. The grass and trees here are deep, and there is no sun, but it is cooler, and the brothers have rested enough, so it is better to go on the road earlier! ”

Zheng Guocai, who was actually the hardest of the three people, said this, and although the other two people were not very willing, they didn't say anything in the end. The four team officers were finally able to discuss what to do in the future. Li Yongzhong said that it was just a kind word for Team D to continue to open the road in the afternoon, and the other three were not stupid people, so naturally no one took it seriously, and finally agreed that the other three teams would take turns to open the road in the afternoon, and Team D would be postponed.

The discussion was established, even if the other teams were not as good as the Ding team, in the end, they were the elite of the Ming army, and they used the multigrain flatbread used as lunch, and after a break for half an hour, the team continued on the road. Although there was some grumbling among the soldiers, most of them hurried silently, and before it was completely dark, the officers finally announced that they had stopped camping.

The camp chosen by the Ming army was originally a leeward col, but for the sake of prevention, several team officers discussed it and decided to move it up to the halfway point of the mountainside, where the trees that can be hidden are much sparser than in the col, even though the vast majority of people are blindfolded, but light a few bonfires at night, and then be vigilant, you can stay overnight.

The mountain road is difficult to travel, and it has to open the road all the way forward, although the three teams rotate from time to time, but when it comes to encamping at night, the Ming army has only walked less than twenty miles. After barely using dry food, many people leaned together and fell asleep early. For a time, only the soldiers in charge of the guard and a very small number of people were still awake. But in this dark and dangerous mountain forest, they are not the only human beings.

Guan Lao Er and their Yiren have been waiting for a long time. Originally, they thought that the Ming army would stay in a comfortable and sheltered mountain col, but they didn't expect this group of Ming troops to be unusually cunning, and they would rather be tired than go to the halfway up the mountainside - the mountain is windy at night, even if it is summer, the night wind can blow people from the inside to the outside - this hand really caught Guan Lao Er off guard, he watched the hundreds of Ming troops on the mountainside and barely built a simple camp on the mountainside, tied up the horses, hung the bells, and lit bonfires everywhere to arrange arming, For a while, there was a feeling that a dog eating a hedgehog had nowhere to put its mouth.

In the middle of the moon, everything is silent. Except for a few sentries on duty at night and soldiers on patrol, the Ming army all fell asleep. The night wind howled back and forth, tearing the bonfire into various shapes, like a spirit in the darkness of the night. And not far from the Ming army, a few ghostly people hid and watched.

"Second brother, the dog officer and army are on guard! What to do? Do we still want to fight this one? Hiding in the shadows of a few miscellaneous trees, Guan Lao Er's henchman twisted his eyebrows and asked him in a low voice, "The brothers are blindfolded at night and can't see anything!" If it's hard, you'll suffer a big loss! ”

"Shut up!" Guan Lao Er scolded him impatiently: "Are you afraid that the officers and soldiers will not hear it?!" He carefully brushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him, and the Ming army camp not far away had completely quieted down. He watched it for a long time, and had to admit that it was indeed like what his henchmen said, with the few men and horses in his hands now, even if it looked twice as many as this group of officers and soldiers, it would be very difficult to eat them now.

"Let's take a look." Guan Lao Er had other thoughts in his heart, and his cruel gaze lingered on this small temporary camp and whispered without looking back: "Minggou can still defend like an iron bucket with these few soldiers?" We're twice as many people as they are! They all rested for a day, the dog officers and soldiers walked for a day, and now they have long been soft, and wait a while, before dawn, people are most sleepy, and the brothers are now ambushed first, and when the time comes, the dog officers and soldiers will have to suffer a big loss! ”

Team D is in charge of guarding the camp tonight. Because they did not participate in the opening of the road in the afternoon, compared with the other teams, the soldiers of Team D were not very tired. Li Yongzhong ordered Sentry A to guard in the second half of the night, and Sentry B to guard in the first half of the night, and was worried that there would be a shortage of manpower after all, so he discussed with Zheng Guocai a few more times to draw another vigil in each team, although the three team officers couldn't help muttering in their hearts that Li Yongzhong had nothing to do, but finally agreed.

Chen Mingjiang, the acting sentinel of the second post, had already come over to take over the shift with Liu Xiaoqi. This time, Cao Jinliang intended to see the level of Chen Mingjiang's troops, and before leaving, he said that this time he only watched and did not speak, and all the affairs of the second post were handed over to Chen Mingjiang to take care of. For this reason, even if the commander of the former pro-army team was not as fine as ten points, he was also serious all the way, and he personally led people to guard the night for a full hour, and only then did he come over to hand over with Liu Xiaoqi.

They all sleep in their clothes, so they don't need to wear them. Liu Xiaoqi put on his helmet, laughed with Chen Mingjiang slightly, and was about to take someone to check the post, when he saw this compatriot who was not very familiar with him suddenly sniffled, his face was a little subtle, and then he asked him coldly: "Sentry Liu, is there anyone in our team who eats cigarettes?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately shook his head and denied: "The team officer is deeply disgusted with this thing, we are martial artists who are fighting hard in the town, this thing is so smoky, how can we eat this?" ”

Chen Mingjiang looked stunned Liu Xiaoqi glanced at it, the expression on his face was even more ugly, and he said in a low voice: "A gust of wind just came, but I smelled a big smell of smoke!" Our camp is upwind, and there is no one in the team to eat, and several other teams are behind, how can we smell such a smell here?! ”

The two sentinels glanced at each other, and they both saw something alarming in each other's eyes. Chen Mingjiang had a lot of things to do, and he was still calm when he looked at it, so he only whispered to Liu Xiaoqi very quickly: "Sentry Officer Liu, you went and quietly called the team officer and adjutant to get up, and then quietly called the first few people in the back team, maybe I smelled it wrong...... But there's nothing wrong with being careful! It hasn't started yet, and if it does, I'm afraid it's going to be before dawn! ”

He said vaguely, but Liu Xiaoqi didn't understand, he didn't hesitate at the moment, turned around and walked towards the sleeping place of Li Yongzhong and Cao Jinliang, and after walking a few steps, he saw two team officers coming one after the other, Li Yongzhong was fully armored, holding a fire gun with an expressionless face, and Cao Jinliang was smiling rather than smiling, but he also had a spear in his hand. When Li Yongzhong saw them, he only said: "Spread the word immediately, the whole team is on alert!" Load the gun, and set up the spear for me! ”

When the order was passed down, Team B immediately moved quickly, barely bringing some stones and the like as cover, and lighting bonfires everywhere. The footsteps were hurried during the action, and it didn't take much effort, and the Ming troops of the other teams were all woken up. Zheng Guocai was woken up by a sound of footsteps like drums, and when he was gritting his teeth and thinking about how to question him when he saw Li Yongzhong for a while, he heard a burst of shouts from far and near tearing through the night sky, the ground shook, and when he looked down, it seemed that a black crowd of people was rushing up!

The tranquility was broken in an instant, and in the midst of the boiling voices, Zheng Guocai was wooden, and only reacted after a cold war, and then he grabbed the waist knife next to him and turned over without thinking, and shouted at his subordinates, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Get the fuck up for me! ”

When Guan Lao Er found that the Ming army was beginning to commotion, although the shadows running back and forth in the camp could not be seen clearly, the increasing bonfires could already explain a lot of problems. He took a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and couldn't figure out what went wrong, so that Ming Jun noticed a hint of clues, but now he didn't care about anything else, Guan Lao Er immediately made a decision, choked and pulled out his waist knife, Huo Ran got up, turned around and raised his arms to the more than 1,000 Yi and Han people behind him and shouted: "Brothers, kill Ming Dog!" ”

The originally silent mountain forest was immediately broken by the fierce and frenzied sound of human beings, hoarse and high-pitched hind feet, heavy breathing, heavy footsteps, robes rubbing, weapons colliding, these sounds made by different individuals converged together, and finally became a huge wave of sound, shaking the night sky and shaking the earth. These aliens in green clothes and green trousers, with their heads wrapped in handkerchiefs, and tattooed faces poured out from the mountains and forests, and more than 1,000 people squeezed their shoulders on their shoulders, stepped on their heels with their front feet, held various swords and guns, and rushed towards the Ming army halfway up the mountain!

Guan Lao Er slowly retracted his steps and let himself fall behind. He leaned on his waist knife and used his crutches, gasped for a few breaths, squinted his eyes and looked at the Ming army camp in front of him that seemed to be about to be overwhelmed by the crowd, and the happiness in his heart could not be hidden no matter what! Even though his temperament is much calmer now, the eyebrows that almost flew up his forehead, and the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress, all leaked the fact that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

He led people to ambush for half a day, and waited hard until now, rushing up while the officers and soldiers were sleeping in a daze, even though it seemed that someone in the officers and soldiers had noticed it and was on guard in advance, but he also took the opportunity to make trouble, and he didn't waste any time! What's more, even if this official army is a rare strong army, but now the Yi people in his hands are not ordinary local soldiers in the village, but warriors under the Yi general A grasshopper, who are extremely brave, and they are also strong soldiers valued by the imperial court in the past! Now with a deliberate calculation or not, even if the officials and soldiers have some firearms in their hands, but in this situation, where can it be of great use? These native soldiers are not the last time they didn't understand anything!

For a while, wealth and glory seemed to be only for a moment, and even more within reach! Guan Lao Er's body and bones seem to be a few pounds lighter, and he feels more and more that he has the demeanor of those generals in the drama. He retracted the waist knife from the scabbard and made an indifferent look, only hating to be mixed with the barbarian for a few days, his body was very pickled, and he had never trimmed his face, otherwise he would have to brush a three-inch beautiful beard!

But at this moment, the earth-shattering gunshots rang out one after another, and the pungent and unpleasant smell of gunpowder floated everywhere in an instant with the help of the wind! And the battle in front of the second pass, which was originally a sure victory, has also undergone drastic changes! (To be continued.) )
