34. Burn the cowardly Xue army
PS: Thanks to "yyaJy2304" for the tip again...... Tomorrow is the eleventh, the new January, let's work hard, and I hope you can support more
Lyumung, who did not speak Mongolian, stayed outside the tent to keep guard to prevent anyone from coming to find out.
With the iron spear on the ground and the man reclining on the tent, Liu Meng looked like a tired night watchman, yawning and turning his head to look around. Fortunately, it was meal time, and the surrounding tents were empty, and the crowd of people drinking and drinking on the large bonfires in the distance were all celebrating the rich harvest of today's outing.
After a while, the tent door was lifted, and Ding Qi and Wu Dong slipped out. Calling Liu Meng to leave, looking at that look, he has already succeeded.
After whispering the general situation, Ding Qi continued to lead the way and went straight to the center of the camp. After carefully avoiding several patrols of the hundred-man team, after several light and dark sentry checks, and then crossing a wooden fence, the three finally came to the Chinese army. Then he attacked a patrol team, changed into clothes, and walked a few miles along the horse road, only to see a camp composed of large yellow cowhide tents.
At the gate of the camp, a huge black flag fluttered high. It was embroidered with a golden wolf's head, which was the military flag of the Cowardly Xue Army. This is the Golden Horde camp of the Great Khan of the Mongols, and it is impossible to get here by just fooling around. According to the commander of the thousand, all the important ministers, including Zhang Hongfan, lived in the camp with the Great Khan, and the outside was defended by the invincible cowardly Xue army.
Is it only hard to break through? Liu Meng was lying in a dark shadow, looking at the brightly lit and well-guarded camp of the cowardly Xue army, there was really no good way to enter quietly. Dan Ding Qi and Wu Dong have received professional training, and they have infiltrated many important villages. After muttering softly for a while, he quietly climbed to the top of the tent to take a look, and after only half an hour, he decided on a method.
The horses at the gate of the camp were lined up, and a small group of timid Xue soldiers patrolled back and forth. Very vigilant, if you want to get in from here, you have to kill them all. Therefore, the proximity of the door is not considered. The camp is surrounded by a wooden fence about three meters high, and a guard tower is erected every 100 paces, on which several cowardly Xue soldiers are on duty, and with patrols passing by from time to time on the horse road outside the camp, it can be described as as tight as a bucket.
The section of fence chosen by Ding Qi is at the intersection of the two patrol teams, and it takes about ten minutes to inspect the loopholes. As long as it can draw the line of sight from the sentry on the arrow tower. Except for the three-meter-high wooden fence, there was only one patrol in the camp with torches.
After listening to Ding Qi's calculations, Liu Meng was silent.
First, let Wu use arrows to shoot down the qi death lantern hanging on the flagpole in the distance, so as to distract the attention of the sentry on the arrow tower, and then the three of them used light skills to climb over the wooden fence, and they must subdue the mobile patrol guard in the moment they climb over the wooden fence, and they must not let it make a sound.
It's a bit of a challenge. The wooden fence was about twenty meters away from the patrol, and it was used with all its might. It would take more than a second to get there, and if you use a silent iron snake cone, you will be afraid of the corpse falling down or the torch falling off in your hand and causing a sound.
Liu Meng pondered for a while, and the finish line agreed, "I'll try." ”
Wu bent his bow and arrows. Aiming at the qi death wind lamp in the distance, wait until Ding Qi coughs lightly, and the arrow is off the string and flies out silently. Almost a wink. With a pop, the string of dead wind lamps fell, and the fire oil contained in it was still poured in mid-air, crackling and burning.
A sudden firelight. Immediately attracted the attention of the three sentries on the arrow tower. Patting Liu Meng on the shoulder, Ding Qi said in a low voice, "Go!" ”
Throw down the iron spear, lightly loaded, the body unfolded eight steps to catch the cicada, more than 40 meters away only took two seconds, rushed to the wooden fence, Liu Meng did not stop, toe kick, the body directly pulled up, like a soaring goose jumped directly over, the posture is wonderful so that the two people who follow closely behind are ashamed.
As soon as he crossed the wooden fence, the iron snake cone had already slipped into his left hand, and in mid-air, Liu Meng saw that the patrol was about to turn his head, and immediately shook it out. This time, all the strength has been used, and the iron snake cone is fast and ruthless, and it will come in an instant. The sentry's eye socket slid in, and the tip of the cone peeked out from the back of his head.
Instant kill! The patrol guard froze for a moment, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the torch was about to fall, and at this time, Liu Meng had already reached the ground with the goose Xinggong, caught the torch with a copy of his hand, and then held the corpse with one hand, threw it lightly, and threw it into a tent. Then, like a light smoke, he flashed in with a torch.
There were four sergeants resting in the tent, sleeping soundly, when they suddenly heard a pop like a heavy object falling to the ground, and they immediately sat up in shock, and they were so alert that they were about to draw their knives from under the bedding with their backhands. It's a pity that Liu Meng's speed is several times faster than them, and he rushed in and first shook his torch, and then the sword light flashed, and the four sergeants didn't even snort, or were stabbed in the throat or heart.
Ding Qi and Wu Dong followed in, but when they saw that Liu Meng had finished killing cleanly, they couldn't help but be surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Liu, why are you killing these pawns?" Liu Meng smiled confidently and said, "Our target is Zhang Hongfan, this traitor is in this camp, isn't it?" ”
Ding Qi nodded and said, "Yes, not only him, but even the Golden Horde of the Mongolian Great Khan Meng Ge is also here." ”
Liu Meng let out a "hmm" and asked, "I glanced at it when I passed the wooden fence just now, and there are all cowhide tents here, the specifications, sizes, and even colors are exactly the same, how do we know which tent Zhang Hongfan is in?" Or find another official to hold and torture? ”
Shaking his head, Wu Dong understood what Liu Meng meant, and said: "This is the camp of the cowardly Xue army, not to mention the tight defense, the vigilance is also quite high, and they are all not afraid of death, if they are not careful, they will be exposed, and Zhang Hongfan is extremely wise, and he is the head of the march, and there must be a master guard by his side, and it may be extremely difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate at that time." ”
"So, we might as well set fire to the camp, no matter how elite the cowardly Xue army is, if it encounters a fire at night, it will inevitably be chaotic for a while. And Zhang Hongfan, as the head of the marching army, although he was not in charge of the Xue army, he would definitely take people to guard the Golden Horde first, so as not to alarm the Mongol Khan. We just need to find a vantage point to squat, and as soon as he appears, we will assassinate him, and the chances of success are great. Seeing that there was support from others, Liu Meng immediately expressed his thoughts.
And one of the biggest reliance is to calculate that Zhang Hongfan is a famous Hanchen, naturally different from those Mongolian generals, the first thing he thinks of when he encounters a crisis is to behave in front of the Great Khan, rather than taking the initiative to take responsibility to nip the crisis in the bud.
Ding Qi and Wu Dong understood when they heard it, and felt that this was the best way at the moment, so the three of them each picked a few tents, pulled out the torches that could be seen everywhere, and set the fire.
As soon as the fire started, the sentry on the arrow tower sounded a gong to warn him, and the cowardly Xue army reacted very quickly, and immediately many sergeants poured out of various tents, looking for water and sticks to prepare to extinguish the fire. At this time, Liu Meng and the other three had already blended into the panicked crowd, and when they saw what seemed to be the leader, they quietly squeezed over and killed them. Liu Meng's sword was fast, and while shouting with the crowd, he aimed at the target, and the sword was killed, killing at least two centurions and five or six ten-masters in a moment.
Without the command of the leader, the cowardly Xue army was also panicked at night, screaming together but not knowing how to put out the fire. Seeing more than a dozen tents on fire together, the fire was burning into the sky, and the noise finally spread. (To be continued......)
