Chapter 282: Raiding the camp in the middle of the night
It was a night when the moon was sparsely starry, and the full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the ground so vividly that the summer insects did not dare to chirp loudly, but could only hum in a low voice.
An Wei looked at the full moon in the sky, proud in his heart, and said secretly, even the moon in the sky helped me, lighting the road as bright as day, it seems that Jinyiwei is going to be unlucky today.
At the third watch, an envoy asked a general to lead 5,000 rebels to the camp of Jinyiwei.
At first, the rebels were worried that the soldiers would not be able to see the road clearly, and that if something happened on the road, they would not think that the moon would be as big as the moon, and even the blindfolded (a common name for people with night blindness) could see the road clearly.
To be honest, lately the rebels have been plagued by night blindness.
The shadow of night blindness has always haunted the people, but it turns out that they don't take it seriously. Anyway, they are used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and they don't care if they can't see anything at night, and at most they use the kitchen as a toilet when they get up at night.
But after hiding in the chicken hole, the danger of night blindness broke out.
The chicken hole is deep and dim, not to mention at night, even during the day, you can't see your fingers. Although there were many lanterns and torches inside, there were still unlucky rebels who could not see the way and fell into the cliffs or deep pits in the chicken holes, and fell to their heads and bleed.
But strangely, people who can't see the road? Mostly white yi, black yi is much better.
The blacks were proud, thinking that this was the will of heaven - God wants you lowly whites to follow us, otherwise why can't the whites see the way, but the blacks are not affected?
In fact, they don't know that night blindness is caused by a lack of vitamin A in food, and most of the foods containing vitamin A are meat dishes.
But fortunately, there is a bright moon hanging high tonight, and the clear light illuminates the road. Whether it is Heiyi or Baiyi, they can see it very clearly and will not get lost.
To the delight of the rebels, the camp was brightly lit, indicating the target of their attack. The rebels secretly envied and despised a brocade guard—such a big moon was actually lit. It's simply not going to live.
The rebels pounced on the camp like flies seeing blood.
To the relief of the rebels, there were no open and secret posts outside the camp. It seems that these Jinyi guards are really young master soldiers, and when they saw the main general resting, they actually ran to rest.
The rebels stormed the camp without much effort.
The camp was silent, except for the soft glow of the lamps in the tents.
The rebel general felt that something was not good, the camp was too quiet, there was no fighting, no frolicking. There was no sound of talking, no murmuring, not even snoring, and the whole tent was empty.
The Yiren soldiers did not have suspicions, they had long been fascinated by the generous behavior of the Jinyi Guard. They initially estimated that there were at least 1,000 tents here, and the lights were dancing in each tent, and the lights were very bright. It shouldn't be vegetable oil, so what kind of high-grade oil is it? And also. How much oil had to be burned at the end of the night.
Do they think about the Yiren they have seen? In large households, at night, except for the head of the family's room, who dares to light an oil lamp, anyone's room is dark. What, I can't see it at night. Hit your head? You deserve it, won't you be fine if you go to bed early?
Just looking at the matter of lighting the lamp, the Yiren soldiers knew that these brocade guards were not ordinary rich. Since they have money, there must be something good in the tent. They salivated and did not wait for the Lord's command. He opened the curtain and rushed in.
I only heard the sound of "plop, ouch" endlessly, followed by earth-shattering screams.
The rebel walked into the nearest tent and almost lost his nose.
Jin Yiwei was so immoral that he actually dug a big pit in the tent, the pit was not deep, it was only a zhang, and the bottom was full of sharp wooden stakes.
The Jinyi guard did not cover the pit, but placed it in the tent openly, and lit an oil lamp so that the rebels could see the pit clearly.
It's a pity that the rebels are very keen on robbery, and the speed of rushing into the tent is not fast, where is there time to look at the trap, even if someone sees the trap and can stop next to the trap, they will be knocked into the pit by the rebels who rush in later.
Fortunately, the stake buried by the Jinyi guard was not long enough, and the first group of people who fell into the pit were pierced with a cold heart; In the second batch, the stake can only enter the body for five points; And the third batch of those who fell into the pit didn't have any.
Seeing this kind of scene, the rebel generals didn't know where they were, they had fallen for Jinyiwei's plan. He hurriedly gathered his troops and prepared to retreat the way he came. As long as they return to the mouth of the chicken hole, they will be invincible.
There were no Ming troops in the camp, and the rebel generals quickly gathered their troops, and after a rough look, at least forty percent of the troops were missing.
He couldn't help but feel sad and shouted in his heart: "Is it easy for us to put together some troops? You actually hurt them so much, and you have the ability to fight a real battle. ”
The rebel general's wish was soon fulfilled, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the camp with his soldiers, he heard a gong sound, and a group of soldiers in golden helmets and armor appeared at the door. The rebel general said in his heart: "Damn, do you want to be so spiritual, I'm just talking casually, you can get so many Ming troops out." ”
The brocade guards did not carry torches, but traveled lightly. The bright moon in the sky and the lights in the tent have clearly shone on the enemy, and what are they doing with torches, do they call the enemy to shoot arrows in this direction?
It turned out that Zhu Youcheng had already discovered that someone was looking at the camping place at the entrance of the chicken cave, and guessed that the enemy would come to rob the camp at night, so he formulated this strategy.
Zhu Youcheng ordered the Jinyi guards to quietly dig a pit in the tent, preparing to let the rebels who stole the camp and rob the village fall half to death, and it is best to fall and live without taking care of themselves.
When the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard heard the order, they took the initiative to bury sharp wooden stakes at the bottom of the pit - it is difficult to fall and not be able to take care of themselves, but it is very simple to tie a life and not be able to take care of themselves. It can also be seen what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers. Zhu Youcheng is insidious, and the soldiers he brought out are naturally very vicious.
After Zhu Youcheng gave the order, he took the tired vanguard troops to rest in an open space some distance from the camp. Because all the tents were used to lure the enemy, they had to stay in the open air. Fortunately, it is already early summer, the temperature is relatively high, and it is not difficult to sleep in the open air.
Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi did not show up, leaving only Feng Dingbang's thousands of households to deal with the troops who were stealing camps and robbing the village. Because tomorrow's attack is the main thing, and it is right to rest as soon as possible. Anyway, there are traps to help today, plus a pure firearm Qianhu, how many enemies are enough to deal with, and there is no need to disturb the rest of the other soldiers.
Feng Dingbang had been lying in ambush outside for a long time, and when they saw the last rebel soldier rushing into the camp, they blocked the entrance to the camp gate, preparing to catch turtles in an urn.
Sealing the entrance, they did not make a loud noise, but waited quietly, waiting for the rebels to fall into the trap.
These traps are the result of the concerted efforts of more than 10,000 people under Jinyiwei, and it would be a pity if they didn't work. Besides, Jinyiwei's ammunition is not cheap, so you have to save some money for the commander Tongzhi, right?
At this time, the rebels discovered the plan and prepared to retreat, and Feng Dingbang and them showed their figures.
The twenty noisy guards next to Feng Dingbang had already begun to shout loudly: "Put down your arms, surrender on your knees, spare you from dying!" ”
The rebels' formation was in chaos, and they had just missed the trap, which had already made them jump and demoralize. Now that the exit is blocked by the Jinyi Guard, where is there still the courage to fight. It's a pity that most of these Yi people are Bai Yi, they don't know Chinese, and they only hear the majestic voice of Jinyiwei, but they don't know what they mean. A few Yiren who knew a little Chinese knelt down, but they were rushed in front by the overseers and cut off their heads with a single sword.
Jin Yiwei didn't care whether the Yi people understood Chinese or not, shouted three times in a row, and found that no one had dropped their weapons and surrendered, so they raised their guns and "ping-pong" at the rebels trapped in the camp.
At this moment, the rebels had a lot of fun, and after a round of firecrackers, the rebels had fallen nearly thirty percent of them. Some of them rushed towards the Jinyi Guard, trying to escape in vain, but no matter how fast they were, could they be faster than the firecrackers? He didn't take a few steps before he was knocked to the ground by the firecracker.
Some of them fled backwards, and when they reached the rear of the camp, they found a group of brocade guards waiting for them. The brocade guards greeted them warmly, but the way of greeting them was a little special - a round of firecrackers.
Others panicked and ran to the tents left by the Jinyi guards in the camp. They always felt that the thick canvas of the tent could withstand the bullets of the firearms, and then ...... There was no more, because they rushed too quickly, fell into the trap, and were riddled with holes by the stakes buried in the pit.
In less than half an hour, the battle was over, and all the 5,000 rebels who had stolen the camp were wiped out by the Jinyi Guard, except for a few who surrendered, and there was not even a single person who went back to report the news. (To be continued......)
