Chapter 79: Extermination
Chapter 79: Destroying the Kou
The rain completely drenched the ground, and the three hundred young guards remained motionless in the mud, letting the rain cement slurry flow on their bodies. The imperial guards who watched the battle behind them hid behind the big trees, and were greatly impressed, although this young guard guard was young, but he had strict military discipline and forbidden, even if he was an adult, he was ashamed of himself.
The two bonfires in the cottage were also extinguished by the rain, and the whole cottage was completely hidden in darkness.
"How long will this rain be?" Wen Zhang became a little impatient.
Li Yuan next to him said: "General, the rain in the mountains is difficult to say, but this kind of heavy rain usually doesn't last long." ”
Wen Zhang pondered with an "oh", just now he couldn't wait to pick this bandit den alone, but fortunately, Li Yuan's "general" was called in time, he was the general Wen Zhang, not Wen Daxia.
Seeing that he could climb the cliff only a few meters away, He Quchen rested for a while, and was about to make the final sprint, but he didn't want to, the heavy rain suddenly hit, He Quchen panicked, and suddenly slid down a few meters, fortunately, Shen Mo below was very calm, and reached out to hold his arm, so as to avoid continuing to slide.
He Quchen used his strength to stabilize his body, relieved himself, glanced at Shen Mo gratefully, and said secretly, it's dangerous.
At this time, the heavy rain still doesn't stop, He Quchen gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, in this case, there is no way back, the difficulty is the same up and down, left and right, it is even more impossible to go back, climbing the cliff is the best choice, He Quchen according to Wen Zhang's light body, adjust the breath, climb up a little bit, the hillside is soaked in rain, quite slippery, He Quchen every meter forward, often has to fall half a meter, and the focus point is becoming more and more difficult to find, the original support of the strong large clump of weeds began
Relaxed, the protruding rocks on the cliffs gradually loosened, and the earth and stones rolled down with the rain.
There are still the last three meters, He Quchen's lips have bitten and are bleeding, and his strength has begun to fail. Although he has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, the martial arts he has learned are not excellent, and he is young after all, and he gradually feels powerless, and his hands and legs feel heavier and heavier, like hanging several heavy sandbags.
Shen Mo, who was in the position below, also felt that it was difficult, although his martial arts were too much higher, but under such heavy rain, he could only protect himself, even if he wanted to make a move against the holy will, he was powerless.
In such a situation, there are not too many mountaineering skills to speak of, only relying on his own will, He Quchen didn't think much about it, there was only one belief left in his heart, he couldn't embarrass the commander, and he couldn't embarrass the young man.
He Quchen almost relied on the support of subconscious perseverance to climb to the top of the cliff.
There are many three meters in life, but there are also many people who fall within these three meters.
Wen Zhang finally made up his mind and said: "Wang Hong, select thirty young guards as the vanguard, follow me to attack, you lead the others to follow, pay attention to bring tree hats, take advantage of the heavy rain, both sides can not see or hear, and quickly rush to the door of the cottage." ”
"Don't wait for Lao He's signal?"
"Don't wait, it's hard to catch a fire in this kind of weather, and even if it is lit, we can't see it."
"Okay, even if the archers on the other side are still in the arrow tower, they won't play a role in the rain, so there should be no problem rushing to the door of the cottage."
A distance of 100 meters is nothing under normal circumstances, and in training, Qing Qing Wei does not know how many 100-meter sprints he has had, but in the heavy rain, in the unfamiliar darkness, the speed cannot be fast.
Wen Zhang took the lead, thirty guards with swords in their hands, lined up, followed by a large group of men and horses led by Wang Hong, and rushed towards the cottage together. In the last ten meters, Wen Zhang suddenly increased his speed, rushed to the door, looked up at the arrow tower, and the guards inside were no longer there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, Gai is called the sky, after all, he is a thief who does not enter the stream.
A moment later, Wang Hong led a large team of men and horses to kill.
Wen Zhang called ten archers and ordered: "Zheng Dan, you lead the archers to find a place to hide after entering, just sneak attack in secret, Wang Hong." ”
"Commander, subordinates are here."
"Pass the order, after entering, you will work in groups of three according to the plan, and you will not be left alone, leaving twenty people to guard the door to prevent the bandits from escaping, and the rest are ready to break the door."
Wang Hong received the order, and was just about to let people knock open the gate of the cottage, but when he saw the gate open from the inside, Lao He waved while vomiting: "Quick." ”
After He Quchen climbed the cliff, he found that there was no bandit defense, so he bowed down and ran to the house in the middle, only to find that the gunpowder had been soaked by the rain, and knew that there was no possibility of ignition, so he immediately changed his plan and quietly came to the main gate, preparing to join the brigade. The cottage is not big, He Quchen arrived at the door, he also looked at the arrow tower first, it was empty, but he found that there was a small and simple wooden house under the arrow tower, He Quchen thought about it, guessing that the two guards might be among them, and turned around to see it following
Later, Shen Mo's heart warmed, and he entered the wooden house with a dagger, and sure enough, the two thieves who slept like dead pigs were lying on the bed, He Quchen knew that time was pressing, and he calmed down, and the dagger swung twice, cutting the throats of the two thieves, and turned around to open the door for the team, and at the same time couldn't help but vomit, although He Quchen had seen countless dead people in his hometown, but it was the first time to kill people with his own hands after all, not to mention the two of them.
The young guard hurriedly passed through the gate and rushed towards the group houses in the center of the cottage.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of lightning in the air, followed by a thunderous roar, and in the midst of the lightning, someone outside the group of houses suddenly shouted: "Officers and soldiers are coming, get up quickly." ”
Wen Zhang scolded secretly, this guy really fucking chooses the time to pee at night, "Brothers, rush." ”
As soon as the words fell, He Wang and the others took the lead in rushing to the man, raising their swords and killing him. But there were still people in the house who were awakened, and Gai Zhaotian thought it was another box army, and hurriedly shouted: "Get up quickly, kill this group of box soldiers who don't know the times." ”
Sixty or seventy people walked out of the house in a hurry, and were first shot and killed by ten archers led by Zheng Dan, and then the young guards swarmed up, in groups of three, raising swords and guns at the same time, and killed a dozen or so confused bandits in front of them at once.
Gai Zhaotian was holding a big knife, and when he went out, he knew that this was not a box army, except that the hat was a branch, and he couldn't see clearly in the dark that it was the sergeant, and the military uniform of the young guard had already been covered with mud, even if he didn't look carefully during the day, he couldn't see it clearly, not to mention that it was still the imperial guard uniform that Gai Zhaotian was not familiar with. Gai Zhaotian only saw from the momentum of the young man's heroic killing of the enemy that it was not a box army, but at this time, he was not allowed to think too much, and he danced the big knife in his hand and rushed towards the young man.
When the bandits saw Gai Shouting Heaven come out, they sobered up a little, and each raised his sword with the intention of fighting back. Although these bandits don't know martial arts, they are better than adults, they are strong, and they can still block the young guards, they think that they are still the Xiang army, as long as they hold on for a while, this group of Xiang troops will retreat on their own.
However, the performance of the young guard instantly shattered the psychology of the bandits.
Even if someone was injured, no one retreated, in groups of three, with one gun and two knives, occasionally mixed with the support of archers, although the cooperation was still too rusty, but it was no longer something that the bandits could resist. It didn't take long for some people to abandon their swords and surrender, some people began to flee backwards, the defensive formation was all chaotic, and the bandits who dispersed were surrounded by the young guards, either surrendering or being annihilated.
Gai Zhaotian was surrounded by He Wang and other six people, and he didn't care about commanding his bandits, and the two sides fought closely, Gai Zhaotian saw that they were all a group of weak-crowned baby soldiers, and he couldn't think that there was such an army in the Great Song Dynasty, thinking that it was another group of bandits who grabbed the mountain.
He Wang and other six young guards surrounded Gai Zhaotian for a chaotic attack, making him scramble, at the cost of three minor injuries, He Quchen found a flaw, the short blade stabbed his wrist, Gai Zhaotian fell to the ground, Wang Hong and others fell to the ground, and finally captured alive.
The hundred imperial guards who were watching the battle also breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's right hand involuntarily left the hilt of the sword.
Only Wen Zhang stood under one roof, holding a flying knife in his hand, calmly watching all this.
At this moment, Shen Mo seemed to see a confident and invincible General Wen.
