Chapter 81: Attack in the Jungle (Part II)
Galu led several steppe warriors through the dense forest, searching for prey. As a steppe cavalryman, he was accustomed to galloping on the vast grassland, and he did not like to be surrounded by dense forests, which made him feel extremely depressed and restrained. But he must lead his subordinates to hunt enough beasts, otherwise he will be hungry in less than two days.
A few days ago, when Galu learned that he was going to raid Yanmen Fortress with his team, his heart was full of excitement. Galu, in the Xiongnu language, is the meaning of wild goose. During the march, looking up at the wild geese flying south in the sky, Galu felt that he would easily cross the Yanmen Fortress and go to the country of the Han people like the wild geese, and forcibly rob them of exquisite utensils and delicate women.
Before enlisting in the army, Galu had seen a robbed Han woman in front of the big tent of the tribal nobleman, whose skin was so delicate that it seemed to drip water when she pinched it slightly. After enlisting in the army, whenever he heard the veterans boast about the invasion of the Han land and the wanton plundering of countless goods and the group of mothers-in-law of Jian/Yin, Galu had endless longing and yearning, looking forward to going to the heavenly Han land in the future. However, after waiting for several years, he didn't look forward to the opportunity, he just patrolled the grassland, and was promoted from a small soldier to a chief, and also found a rough mother-in-law, and the number of babies in the family was added. Now that the Yanmen Plug seems to be in front of him, he has to stop the war horse because of the ravines and horse pits, how can he not be anxious.
Wielding his saber to cut off the bushes that were in the way, Galu cursed a few words in a low voice, and continued to stay with his subordinates and continue to march deeper into the dense forest. As the jungle grew darker and darker, they had been in the forest for the most part, but their harvest was very limited, and they had only caught a few foxes that had come out to feed.
Garu looked up and looked around, realizing that there was no sign of the other teams. Luckily, you won't get lost in this dense forest, and as long as you keep walking down the lowland, you'll find your way down. Besides, there is also Na Su, a guy who has lived in Daxianbei Mountain (Daxinganling) since he was a child, before entering the dense forest, he patted his chest and promised that he could bring everyone back with his eyes closed.
"That's Sue!" Garu motioned for the group to stop moving forward and shouted behind him.
For a long time, but there was no response. Galu shouted angrily a few times, but Su still didn't appear, and the other warriors saw this, and they all looked around, and there was no trace of Su at all. Garu had a bad feeling in his heart, and he shouted a few words to make his warriors gather together.
After counting the number of people, Galu secretly screamed that it was not good, except for himself, there were only seven people. You know, before entering the jungle, he had a whole thirteen people with him. Galu dragged one of the warriors beside him and roared viciously, "Where are the other six people?!" ”
"What's the long stop being angry, could it be that they have been separated and lost in the woods?" The warrior knew that Galu had always been short-tempered and was not a reasonable person, and he was afraid that he was trying to find a reason to get angry with himself, so he dared to say that he didn't know, so he hurriedly analyzed.
Garu let go of his hand and kicked him hard, saying disdainfully, "Hmph! I believe that others are lost, so will that kid get lost?! ”
The warrior was kicked in vain, and he couldn't help but resent it in his heart, but he still had to make a flattering look on his face, and he didn't dare to answer with a sneer. Seeing this, the other warriors took a few steps back without a trace, trying to stay away from Galu as much as possible, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
For a while, the atmosphere became a little solemn. Galu was silent for a long time, and decisively decided to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and as for the other warriors who had been scattered, wait until they returned to the camp to settle accounts with them. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, without the leadership of Na Su, the night in the jungle was very dangerous. In this way, Galu, who kept cursing Na Su and the others, took the remaining seven subordinates and embarked on the way home.
Shout! Shout! The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was heard, and the two warriors at the end of the group immediately let out two muffled snorts, grabbed their necks with their hands, and after a while, dark red blood slowly flowed out of their noses and mouths.
Garu and the remaining five warriors heard the commotion, looked back and saw the strange scene, and immediately cried out, trying to dispel their fears. Galu hurriedly ran up, saw that each of them had an arrow stuck in his body, drew the saber on his waist, and shouted: "There are people in the woods! Chase! ”
The warriors heard his roar, but did not move their feet, but drew their sabers as he did, crouched down slightly, and assumed a posture of jumping at any moment. They are all veterans, and who doesn't know how risky it is to go after an enemy in ambush in the woods? They immediately saw Galu's bad intentions, and they were afraid that as soon as they and the others rushed into the forest, he would run for his life alone.
A trace of shame and anger flashed on Galu's face, and he snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to scold everyone, thinking that he was afraid of causing public anger. He looked around, and the dark jungle was now more and more eerie, as if countless evil eyes were cast on him, making his scalp tingle. As time passed, the forest became darker and darker, and Galu knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he moved his somewhat sore limbs, and looked at one of his subordinates beside him, seeing that he was devoting all his mind to guarding against a sneak attack from the dense forest, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. After a while, Galu jumped up, pushed his subordinate into the woods, and then ran without the slightest pause.
Seeing this, the other warriors were stunned for a moment, but then reacted and hurriedly followed Galu down the mountain. Shout! Shout! Two arrows shot out of the forest again, reaping the lives of the two warriors. Garu and the other two warriors who were running wildly did not look back at all, but ran in a panic, ignoring the dense bushes and branches that cut blood marks on their faces and bodies, and even discarded the bow and arrows they were carrying for fear of hanging on the branches, slowing down the speed of escape.
At this time, the warrior who had been pushed down by Garu had just risen from the bushes, his face and hands were covered with blood, and before he could figure out what was happening, his face was full of horror, and he was about to curse, when he saw two black shadows rushing out of the forest.
Boom! Tang Tao lowered his body and punched the Hun warrior in the abdomen fiercely, causing him to lean down in pain. Then Yi Yan waved the scimitar in his hand, a cold light flashed, and a thin blood line appeared on the neck of the Hun warrior, and he fell backwards to the ground, and he didn't have time to make any sound.
Tang Tao stood up and scratched his head in annoyance, the remaining three Huns had already run away, which was really a pity. Yi Yan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, the platoon commander and they have already laid an ambush in front, and they can't escape." ”
Tang Tao shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "I'm not afraid that they will run away, it's just a pity that I killed eleven ordinary soldiers, and there is still one short of one before we can both be promoted to non-commissioned officers." ”
Yi Yan was stunned when he heard this, and said with a mocking face: "Are you still thinking about getting promoted to the military rank?" ”
"That's nature! Haven't you heard? The Yulin Battalion and the Tiger Camp will soon be out of the school to study, and it will inevitably be expanded in the future, and when the time comes, we will also get a platoon commander, and the company commander will have a good time! Tang Tao's eyes were full of bright longing.
Yi Yan wiped the scimitar in his hand, and then pointed to the Hun soldier who had just died under his feet and said: "That is the case, this time I can count my five points of military merit, and this Hun soldier will be given to you, and six points of military merit is just enough to be promoted to corporal." ”
Tang Tao hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "It should be mine, I will definitely not be polite; It shouldn't be mine, and I won't take it if I kill it! Can a man be spineless?! Besides, as far as your surname is concerned, it is better for me to be an officer, so I would better give you a hand. ”
Yi Yan smiled noncommittally and did not say anything polite to Tang Tao. The two of them are life-changing friendships, and they never come to nothing. And Tang Tao is right, when it comes to leading Yu Linwei, who is in charge of special operations, Yi Yan, who is cautious and delicate, is much more suitable than Tang Tao, who is free and easy.
Just as the two were talking, there was a sound of birdsong in front of them, and Yi Yan hurriedly took out the bamboo pipe and responded with a few words. After a while, dozens of figures approached slowly and cautiously, and when the leader saw Yi Yan and Tang Tao, he carefully looked around, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to lift their guard, but still divided four people to stay on guard in different directions.
"Platoon commander, have you cleaned it up?" The two hurriedly greeted them and asked.
"It's all gone! Well done you two! The Yulin platoon commander nodded, patted the shoulders of the two of them respectively, and praised them sincerely, "A total of one hundred and thirty Huns entered the mountains and forests, and eleven of them were killed by the two of you, and I will give you credit when I go back!" ”
"It's a pity that there is one less, and I still can't be promoted to non-commissioned officer!" Tang Tao showed off in a very low-key manner, but the smile on his face betrayed him.
The platoon commander laughed dumbly, kicked him lightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Thanks to the two of you, our second platoon has killed a total of sixty-four Huns, including six chiefs, and stabilized the first platoon." The battalion commander had long said that as long as he kept it secret, the platoon with the fewest casualties and the most enemy kills, each person would be rewarded with a little more military merit. So congratulations in advance, Corporal Tang Tao! ”
When Tang Tao heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he couldn't stop muttering nonsense in a low voice. As his partner, Yi Yan felt the surprised gazes of the other companions, and felt very embarrassed, so he hurriedly ran away, eating dry food alone, and maintaining sufficient combat effectiveness at any time, which was Yu Linwei's creed.
At this time, Gongsun He, the commander of the Yulin battalion, had just listened carefully to the report of his subordinates, and was leaning against the tree and closing his eyes in contemplation. A full 130 Huns, including 10 chiefs, failed to get out of the mountains and forests. And Yu Linwei only paid the price of four serious injuries, one of whom had to cut his calf and discharge the venom because he woke up a hibernating poisonous snake and was bitten by a viper. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and he carried a special snake medicine with him, so he picked up a small life.
Gongsun He thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up the crazy idea of assassinating the Xiongnu generals at night. Now it is different from the tactical drills with the tiger in the past, even if the Hun generals can be completely annihilated, but once exposed, Yulin will be besieged by hundreds of Hun iron cavalry. The Huns not only did not admit defeat because of the death of their generals, but they would kill the murderers desperately.
I am afraid that the Huns have now noticed that there is an ambush in the mountains and forests, and they will definitely search the mountains on a large scale. Fighting with a guarded enemy is not Yu Linwei's style. Gongsun He, who had made up his mind, stood up and ordered the guards to give the order to go down, and everyone retreated and returned to the city to rest.
That night, because the east gate of the Yanmen Fortress had been blocked with bricks and stones from the inside, more than a dozen large hanging baskets had to be put down from the towering city tower and more than 100 heroes dressed in dark combat uniforms were welcomed back.
