419 Goshawk fights rabbit
As soon as this caravan came out of the customs, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company in the Heavenly Army were already eyeing it. Because of the importance of the operation, the reconnaissance operation was carried out by the commander of the reconnaissance company, Cheng Mouse, himself.
With the help of the telescope, Cheng Mouse's reconnaissance was strengthened, and it didn't take much effort to figure out the number of guards and men in the caravan.
After reporting back to Hu Guang, he decided to do it in the early morning of the next day, at the darkest time before dawn.
This is the time when humans sleep the most soundly. In the huge caravan, there was a lot of snoring, but no one was woken up at this time.
Many of the bonfires in the convoy circle had almost been extinguished, leaving only the charcoal fires glowing.
It was the turn of the guards on duty at night, and there was not one in ten who was still shaking, and most of them had already found a corner to squint for a while, and then fell asleep.
This can't blame them for not being vigilant, every ox and horse cart is planted with the Yellow Dragon Banner given by the Great Jin State, which is the flag directly under the Great Khan of the Jin State, and the tribes on the grassland dare not give face, that is to live impatiently. They have been back and forth to Liaodong so many times, and they have never seen any accidents.
But Wang Da is an exception, he is the leader of the guards, in order to show loyalty in front of the master, he is personally responsible for the first night of duty.
Even so, after Wang Dengku had fallen asleep, he also went to the campfire to squint for a while, and then fell asleep. Fortunately, as a habit of people in the rivers and lakes, I woke up before dawn.
Although the weather is not too cold at the moment, it is before dawn, and the wind on the grassland is still cold.
Wang Da rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, stood up and stretched a big lazy waist, let himself feel a little more energetic, and prepared to inspect the camp.
But as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he turned his head to look west, he saw a torch in a circle.
"Which bunny. Are you bored playing with torches or freezing enough? Wang Da thought so, and suddenly his whole body stopped. The intuition of the people in the rivers and lakes made him change his face suddenly: It's not good, this seems to be a signal?
When Wang Da thought about it, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and the wind blew the flag. In the crackling sound of the campfire, there seems to be something unusual in it?
Suddenly, he threw himself on the ground, looking unusually nervous, listening intently.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped up and shouted hysterically: "Enemy attack, get up, enemy attack ......"
But in the camp. All that was answered was one cry after another, as if they were accompaniment to him. Occasionally, a few people were woken up by him, and they only looked at him sleepily yawning.
The car around the west side has been removed, revealing a gap that is slowly expanding. This made Wang Da's hairs stand on end when he saw the situation, and finally reminded him, where is the gong for the alarm that he carries with him?
He was still shouting as he rolled and crawled towards an unloaded car not far away. After a while, the sound of a gong sounded rapidly.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
But at this point. Late. I saw that at the gap that was getting bigger and bigger, five heavy armored cavalry side by side, like a tiger pounced, rushed into the camp. Any guards or men who instinctively took up arms and stood up became their first target.
Along with the heavy cavalry were light horsemen in leather armor, all of whom were good Mongols from the steppe, with bows and arrows. As they marched, they beckoned to the enemy with their weapons.
Behind them were melee light cavalry, extending along the inside of the camp to both sides, and the sound of the mountain roared out, which was particularly shocking: "Those who surrender on their knees will not die......
The king ascended to the treasury in a special tent. Awakened from his sleep, he heard the chaotic sound outside, and he was so frightened that he opened the curtain and shouted in panic: "Wang Da, what's the matter, have you put in your fucking Yellow Dragon Flag?" Wang Da ......"
As soon as the curtain was lifted, his shouting stopped abruptly. For Wang Da lay a few paces away from him, with several deadly arrows stuck in his body, and his eyes were open, and he did not blink to death.
At this time, the eastern sky has revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, although the sun has not jumped out of the distant horizon, but its brilliance has sprinkled to the earth, and the light can make people see the world clearly.
Hu Guang and other leaders of the Heavenly Army slowly drove their horses from a distance to where the caravan was. Everyone has a smile on their face.
For Hu Kuan, they not only welcomed back Hu Guang, who was most important to them, and got the legendary high-yield crops, but also could not be too happy to be able to obtain so many materials at once.
As for Hu Guang, in addition to being equally happy about getting so many materials, he was also happy that he was able to destroy the Eight Great Jin merchants. He could surmise that after these materials were intercepted by himself, it would inevitably affect Jianyu's detour to the Mongolian steppe. For the people of Gyeonggi that I have always wanted to save, I have finally done my most direct part!
Whether it was Hu Guang or Hu Kuan, no one was worried about the battle on the caravan side in the distance.
If the heavenly army is told to attack the caravan in the case of the enemy being clear and the enemy is in the dark, and it is in the ratio of the number of two enemies to one, and it is attacking it unprepared, and it still can't take the caravan, then it really has to be disbanded early, and what kind of bullshit will be made!
The situation was just as they expected, Hu Guang and the others could see that after the Heavenly Army rushed into the caravan's camp, they quickly stopped moving. Many of the soldiers who called the Heavenly Army stood on the surrounding vehicles, looking condescendingly at the inside of the car camp.
And Liu Daneng, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment who led the attack, was already leading the reconnaissance company commander Cheng Mouse and was coming over here.
The two sides met and stopped, and Cheng Mouse first announced: "Report to the chief, none of the light and dark sentinels on the periphery have been missed, and all of them will be solved." ”
That is to say, none of the people in this caravan escaped.
With such results, it may not be easy to obtain if you change to other ambush teams. However, the Heavenly Army is expected to have a telescope, and it has long been far away, and the layout of the caravan can be determined. If the most elite scout makes a move, it will naturally be easy to succeed under the sloppiness of the other party.
After Cheng Mouse finished speaking, Liu Daneng reported the results of the battle: "Report to the chief, our side slightly injured four people, seriously injured one person, and no one died. The enemy lost fifty-six dead and twenty-five wounded. One thousand and fifty-two people were captured, including those who were in the ranks. ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately asked, "Do you know the identities of those mental figures?" ”
When he was in Zhangjiakou, even if he didn't leave first, he couldn't find out who was leading the team. Therefore, he was a little curious, and at the same time a little expectant, hoping that Fan Yongdou was inside.
However, as soon as Liu Daneng answered, he was disappointed but also cheered up, and Wang Dengku, one of the eight Jin merchants, was captured alive, which was okay! (To be continued.) )
