Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night Attack on Stone Castle
As the Rouran cavalry got closer and closer, the vigilance atmosphere in the Ming military camp became more and more intense, about two hundred paces away, Yu Jiulu Shelun waved his hand violently, and tens of thousands of horses and horses in the whole army stopped their pace one after another.
Yu Jiulu Shelun showed a hint of triumph, and called forward: "I am Qiu Doufa Khan, please ask King Ming." ”
Wei Feng slightly arched his hand: "Lonely is!" ”
Yu Jiulu Shelun pointed with a horsewhip: "King Ming, I would like to propose marriage to you, and I want to make me and your Ming Kingdom marry Qin and Jin, but I can't imagine that there is no one in your eyes, insulting me as a prairie man, I can only come in person and teach you not to be too arrogant!"
However, the soldiers are together, the lives are devastated, this time I will give you another chance in the name of Rouran Khan, you will match Ling Ai to me, and compensate for millions of grains and rice, 10,000 horses of silk, and 100,000 catties of iron, I can reconcile with your Ming Kingdom and become brothers! ”
"Whoa~~" Yu Jiulu Shelun's back immediately screamed, and the knights all waved their weapons vigorously, which was quite a bit of a demonstration.
The soldiers of the Ming army were all stunned, Wei Feng also looked at them one by one, he mainly observed the spiritual outlook of the grassland cavalry, after all, he had never dealt with the grassland cavalry before, although the Wei people and the Yan people were both Xianbei people, but the degree of sinicization was deeper, and the marching and fighting paid attention to the formation, and the advance and retreat were measured, and the difference between the local separatist regime was not too big.
Looking at it, Wei Feng's heart gradually became heavy, he saw the existence of wildness in the grassland cavalry, and the naked desire to conquer, such a soldier may not have strict military discipline, but the courage is better!
It took a while for Wei Feng to look away. turned to look at Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi, both of them sneered, and their eyes spewed monstrous hatred and stared straight at themselves, looking like you are dead.
Wei Feng didn't entangle with them, and finally looked at Yu Jiulu Shelun.
Yu Jiulu Shelun waved his hand again, and the noise behind him gradually subsided, and then he called: "How is King Ming thinking about it?" ”
"Hahahaha~~" Wei Feng looked up to the sky and smiled: "Yu Jiulu Shelun, what kind of thing are you?" Don't pee on yourself, are you worthy of my princess? You want money, don't you? I have it, and if you have it, you can get it! ”
"Hahahaha~~" The soldiers of the Ming army also burst into laughter. There are even people who point fingers. The face is full of contempt!
Yu Jiu Lushe trembled angrily, and said angrily: "Okay, since you don't know how to lift, then it's no wonder that I'm not surprised!" ”
Yu Jiulu Shelun was just about to give the order to attack. Sima Xiuzhi had already whispered dissuasion: "Khan." King Ming is cunning. He provokes you, it is the temptation for you to rush to attack, and you are around. All of them are soldiers of your own army, so why should you send your own people to death? ”
Liu Jingxuan also said: "Khan, it's nothing to endure for a while, you might as well withdraw your troops, gather all the troops to take the lead tonight, you follow with your headquarters, even if you can't break the Ming army camp, there is no loss for you, why not?" ”
Yu Jiulu Shelun thought about it, glared at Wei Feng hatefully, and waved his hand again: "Go!" ”
The Rouran cavalry retreated like a tide, and Liu Xingnan said with a playful smile: "General, it seems that Uncle Wanshou and Sima Xiuzhi are quite reused by Yu Jiuchang Shelun, guess what they just said." ”
Wei Feng said disapprerovingly: "Liu Jingxuan has a reckless temperament and doesn't know the general situation, except for Sima Yi's bad stomach, he has never been a general, what are their clever plans?" It's nothing more than a temporary withdrawal of troops, and the rest of the grassland is just a test of our army's reality, but I don't know that no one in this world is stupid, and taking others to death will only deepen the resentment against Rouran. ”
All the generals felt that it made sense, and Cui Hao, who followed the expedition, praised him: "The king expects the enemy to be like a god, and it must be like this, but the king must guard against Rouran from attacking at night." ”
Wei Feng smiled slightly: "Lone understands, come, let's go back." After speaking, he grabbed Liu Xingnan's horse reins and slowly walked back
On the grassland of Saibei, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, as the sun sets, the little warmth of the day immediately turns into a severe cold, and the inactive horses have to pocket a piece of leather felt on their stomachs to prevent the cold from penetrating into the internal organs, this is only in the area of Pingcheng, far away in the Dongmugan Mountain Pass six hundred miles away in the northwest, the overwhelming wind is even more to make people know what is called cold to the bone!
Tan Daoji and Wei Feng set off on the same day, he only had 20,000 light horses, it stands to reason that the speed is much faster, but after sneaking out of Yanmen, in order to avoid the Rouran army, first marched due west, and turned due north near the old county of Yunzhong in the Qin Dynasty (now the Jungger Banner of Ordos, Inner Mongolia), and then went east until the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and late at night on the same day that Wei Feng arrived in Pingcheng, he also came to the Dongmugan Mountain Pass.
Shen Linzi couldn't help but tighten the leather jacket wrapped around the armor, and complained, "What the hell is this?" It's never been so cold along the way! ”
Xu Daofu was quite enjoying the cold wind, and said with a smile: "General Shen, we are all marching along the south of the mountain, there is Yin Mountain blocking the north wind, and it is natural to be unbearable when we arrive at the mountain pass at first glance, in fact, it is good to get used to it, I heard that the king took the Shanyin army to bathe in the ice sea, and that group of people has now practiced, which also shows that the southerners may not be able to survive in the north." ”
Tan Daoji felt something: "Yes, at the beginning, the Beifu Army was known as the strongest army in the world, but it gnawed at the old book and did not want to forge ahead, so that it was quickly chased and thrown away by the king. ”
Saying that, Tan Daoji sighed again and said: "The wonder of the world is nothing more than Si, General Xu, in the early years, you followed Sun En, and the king and the Beifu army were enemies, but who would have expected that in less than ten years, you and I will fight side by side under the command of the king!" ”
Xu Daofu sighed with emotion: "The king is open-minded, showing people to be lenient, although Dao Fu has been the enemy of the king with the master, but the king has no guilt, entrusted with the responsibility of the heart, so that the Tao Fu is both ashamed and grateful, but now there is only an oath to die, forget it, it is useless to say more, General Tan, there is a stone castle in front, how should we attack it?" ”
In the cold moonlight, you can see about three or five zhang wide on both sides of the mountain path, on the left and right sides stand a stone fort three zhang high, with a circumference of dozens of zhang, the shooting hole flashes faintly with lights, these two stone forts are stuck in the road like a road block, obviously it is not a stone fort built by Meng Ke, but the descendants rebuilt on the original site.
Tan Daoji looked ahead with burning eyes, and it took a long time before he muttered: "According to the scale of the stone fort, the two can be stationed with 500 soldiers, blocking the road, enough to reach thousands of troops and horses, and the strong attack is just the next strategy, it is better to sneak attack!" ”
Because it may involve special operations, Wei Feng arranged for Zhang Ning to lead a hundred guards to follow, at this time, Zhang Ning arched his hand: "In this case, I will hand it over to the last general and brothers, but we are not familiar with the enemy, please General Tan be ready to respond." ”
Tan Daoji nodded and said, "Please rest assured, General Zhang!" ”
Zhang Ning waved his hand violently, and the hundred guards immediately took off their clothes, changed the bloated fur on their bodies into light earthy yellow color night clothes, and tied all kinds of equipment to their bodies, such as the necessary hook for gentlemen on the beam, the hand crossbow with a short range but easy to carry, the fire fold, and a few earthy yellow cloth bags that could not be used.
This made the surrounding soldiers stunned!
Soon, the equipment was neatly dressed, Zhang Ning waved his hand again, and the hundred people were divided into two teams, each team of fifty people, and marched quickly along both sides of the mountain wall.
The howling northwest wind drowned out the rustling footsteps, and in a few moments, the hundred guards had completely melted into the darkness.
Shen Linzi couldn't help but sigh: "This is the elite soldier, the so-called elite of our Beifu Army is compared with them, which is simply far behind." ”
Xu Daofu explained: "General Shen, don't look at their quick movements, but you can't imagine the hardships they endured, if you train an ordinary person as an elite soldier, half of the ten people will be eliminated, but if you train an elite soldier as a personal guard, it is likely that ninety-nine people will be eliminated out of a hundred people, and each of their training is equivalent to playing with life in our opinion, at least Dao Fu thinks that if he takes that kind of training once, he will never want to touch it a second time."
In addition to going out, no matter the wind, frost, rain and snow training, can not stop, although the Xuanjia Heavenly Army has been incorporated into the personal guard sequence, but can only be counted as the elite soldiers in the elite soldiers, compared with the real personal guards are much worse, at present, there are only 1,000 personal guards of the king, but if a thousand personal guards fight with our 20,000 people, the Dao will dare to guarantee, and the winner will inevitably be the personal guard. ”
Tan Daoji sighed again, and said: "General Shen, you and I don't want to shut up the Beifu Army anymore, the Beifu Army no longer exists, we must remember that we are the Ming Army, although it is just a verbal habit, it is always inappropriate to spread it." ‘
Shen Linzi was full of emotion, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you General Tan for reminding me." ”
Tan Daoji didn't say much, and cast his anxious gaze forward.
In the eyes of outsiders, the guards are at ease, but in fact, each of them has a tight string in their hearts, not only to judge whether there are triplines, bells and other gadgets on the ground in a blurred vision, but also to always keep an eye out for any patrols.
Maybe it's because of the weather, or maybe it's because of the confidence in the two stone castles, and there are no dangers along the way!
The distance is close to about thirty zhang, and the stone castle in front can already be seen clearly, faintly talking and laughing with the wind, and the smell of barbecue and milk wine, but the guards can't go any further, and there will occasionally be a vague figure shaking at the top of the stone castle.
Zhang Ning waved his hand again, five guards on each side, crawling slowly, every time the routine gaze glanced downward, these ten people would immediately stop their figures, and when they looked away, they would continue to move forward, just like that, it took a long time to come to the bottom of the stone castle.
The fort gate must not be able to enter, you must climb the wall, but there will be a great risk of throwing the hook rope, first of all, there will be a snap, the stone castle is so big, pay a little attention, it will be easy to find the rope stuck on the stone wall, and if you are unlucky, it will be thrown directly under the nose of the patrolman, that will kill people. (To be continued......)
