Chapter 215: Detention of the Palace
Yingjiakou, a small fishing village near the sea.
Thousands of people in the village originally lived, fishing for a living, although the life was poor, but also worry-free, since the Goguryeo army came, the number of people increased, but there was a dead air, no longer see a single people, can not hear a dog barking.
Countless improvised tents were set up on the periphery of the small fishing village, forming a camp, the snow in the camp was cleared, piles of bonfires were lit, food was stewed on them, soldiers patrolled the periphery, and the small fishing village was even more overcrowded, with flags and hunting sounds.
The sunset adds a bit of tranquility and peace to the small fishing village, and if there is no skeleton in the snow outside the camp, a skeleton that has been turned out and eaten by a foraging wolf, this is no less than a paradise.
A few miles away on a hillside, in the woods.
Qin Huaidao led the army to rush for several days, and finally came to the destination, one by one he was not light, but his eyes were shining, and he stared at the fishing village in front of him, as if it was a military merit, an honor, and a reward.
Qin Huaidao looked ahead, but his heart was a little heavy, this army is not like Liujiabao, nor is it like Wangjiazhen to gather troops, but with a small fishing village as the center to spread around, the entire camp covers a large area, the snow is cleared, come and go freely, and does not affect the action.
The outside of the small fishing village has a wide field of vision, the terrain is flat, and if you go up, it will be exposed, and the 50,000 troops will not come out of the camp, and it is useless to fill in all 5,000 people.
A hard attack will definitely not work, you can only outwit it.
Qin Huaidao pondered for a long time and found that there was only one way, that is, to infiltrate after dark and burn grain, this army must not have much surplus food, it is not difficult to burn it, just bring a few people to touch it in, without food, this army will be self-defeating.
The grain should be hidden in some rooms in the small fishing village, Qin Huaidao paid attention to the larger rooms, and the small ones could not be put much, so he quickly locked a few suspicious locations, took out paper and charcoal and drew them, and gradually, a simple picture jumped on the paper, especially those suspicious locations.
Everyone gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.
Zhi Sili was most worried that Qin Huaidao would order a strong attack, and asked in a low voice: "General, is there a way?" ”
"Act after dark, the three brothers of the Cheng family, the two brothers of Wei Chi, and Li Yixie, the six of you will go in with me and burn the grain." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice, his tone resolute.
As soon as everyone heard that Qin Huaidao personally led the team, they immediately panicked, if Qin Huaidao had a good one, the army would be over, An Guogong said first: "No, as the main general, you can't go in person, the old man will take someone there." ”
"I'm more familiar with this job than you, don't fight again." Qin Huaidao was resolute and added: "Let's rest for a while, An Guogong, the team will be handed over to you, don't go out of the forest, so as not to expose your whereabouts in advance, arouse the enemy's vigilance, and increase the difficulty of touching in." ”
"Don't worry." In An Guogong's opinion, Qin Huaidao would rather lead the team to take risks in person than use the method of attacking, this is a benevolent and righteous move to worry about the loss of the troops.
Three hours later, in the middle of the night, the night was gray and the snow was hazy.
Qin Huaidao carried double knives on his back, walked out of the forest with six people, bowed his body all the way, and slid with the help of a sled board, and after approaching the enemy camp, Qin Huaidao lay on the sled board, using his hands and feet at the same time, and continued to slide like swimming.
It is not easy to be found when people are lying on the sled, everyone is wearing a white coat, as long as they don't understand, they blend in with the surrounding snow, plus the night is hazy, it is difficult to find out if they don't come to the front, everyone follows Qin Huaidao to infiltrate not once, and the psychological endurance is greatly increased, no one is nervous or afraid.
Not long after, everyone came to the periphery of the camp and found a place where no one took off their sleds, Qin Huaidao lowered his voice and said, "Follow me, don't mess around." ”
Everyone nodded their heads and quickly took off their skis boards.
Qin Huaidao hid the sled board under the snow, took out a dog-legged knife and held it back, and after observing it for a while, he suddenly moved, bowed his body, and rushed forward like an arrow from the string, and soon there was a tent nearby, and the sharp dog-legged knife easily cut the tent, Qin Huaidao got in, raised the knife in his hand, and killed the dozen or so people who were sleeping inside.
After that, Qin Huaidao went out from the gap, gestured, and everyone hid the sleds, and rushed over one after another to enter the tent in the way of Qin Huaidao.
"Dress up." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they took off their coats knowingly, although it was cold, they couldn't take care of it.
Soon, everyone changed into Goguryeo soldier armor, put on helmets, and then covered the body with a mat, so as not to smell blood, Qin Huaidao hid the two knives in the armor behind his back, and came to the tent with the dog-legged knife, and carefully observed for a while, the tents around were one after another, and they were full of sleeping snoring.
Not far away, there was a patrol team cruising, but the attention was outside the camp, the defense in the camp was very loose, Qin Huai was bold, signaled everyone to follow, lined up in a column, and walked forward like a patrol team.
No one would have thought that someone would dare to touch into the camp of the 50,000 army, let alone dare to believe that they dared to walk openly after entering, plus the sky was dark and the visibility was not high, no one cared about Qin Huaidao and the others as their own.
Walking slowly all the way, not hurrying or slow, like a patrol posture, unconsciously approaching the village, Qin Huaidao went directly and generously, like a squad returning from patrol.
At this time, the more fearful, the more okay it is.
The more shrunken and timid you are, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion.
Not long after, everyone came to a location that was suspected of hiding food, there were a few people guarding the door, chatting about something around the bonfire, Qin Huaidao took people over directly, stayed closer and detoured, came to a thatched house to hide, and whispered to the people who followed: "Go around from behind, wipe your throat." ”
Everyone nodded.
Qin Huaidao led everyone to continue forward, went around to the back of the suspected target, followed the root of the wall to the main entrance, saw that there was no one else around, rushed up, covered a person's big mouth with one hand, but the dog-legged knife slashed through the throat of another person, and then retracted, slashed through the throat of the person who was covering.
Almost at the same time, everyone rushed up, like a cheetah foraging in the wild, killing several other people, dragging them aside, and throwing the corpses to a place that was not easy to see, Qin Huaidao rushed to the door, picked up a burning wooden stick from the bonfire, pushed open the door and saw that it was indeed grain, packed in various containers, and some bags, but it didn't look like much.
Qin Huaidao threw the burning wooden sticks over with a pile of hay inside, and when he saw that the hay was burning, he closed the door and left quickly with everyone.
The night was dark, if it weren't for the people who were on guard in many places burning bonfires to keep warm, and the snow was white, they couldn't see anything, but the dim night also gave everyone a good cover, and the group moved forward quickly along the wall under the leadership of Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao walked in front, and soon came to another suspicious location, the room was lit up, no one was at the door, Qin Huaidao tiptoed closer, looked inside through the crack in the door, and found that several people were gambling around a pile of bonfires, muttering something, as if they were arguing.
The opportunity was rare, Qin Huaidao gently pushed the door open, and then suddenly burst out and rushed in, the attention of the people inside was on the dice on the ground, and they didn't notice that someone came in, Qin Huaidao raised the knife in his hand, and erased the two of them in an instant, and the gang found the abnormality and raised their heads one after another.
Qin Huaidao stabbed two more times, quickly erasing the throats of the two of them, and the brothers also hugged each other, covering the mouths of the other people to death, and the knives fell in their hands, and they easily solved it.
After killing a few people, Qin Huaidao observed the surroundings, the room was full of various bags, many bags were opened, revealing the wheat, corn, and a lot of hay inside, the room was not small, it looked like a village ancestral hall, Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, picked up the bonfire and rushed up, and the others also picked up the burning torches to follow.
Soon, the fire burned.
Everyone silently followed Qin Huaidao and left, closing the door to avoid early exposure.
Hurrying all the way down the alley, seeing a room lit up, Qin Huaidao looked in from the window, and found that a group of people were eating around the bonfire, chatting about something, all wearing battle armor, looking like generals, Qin Huaidao gave up decisively and led everyone straight to the next suspicious target.
The top priority is to burn grain, not to kill the enemy.
With his memory, he went all the way forward and came to the gate of a small courtyard, the courtyard door was open, there was no door, and the door inside was also open, and several people were roasting and eating around the bonfire, while whispering something, he didn't understand a word, Qin Huaidao dodged into the small courtyard, avoiding the view of the main entrance, and went up from the side.
Soon, Qin Huaidao came to the door, and suddenly there was a shout outside, one after another, and many people ran up, and they didn't know what was going on, and the people in the inner room also rushed out, Qin Huaidao was ruthless, his hand rose and fell, and instantly wiped out the throat of one person, and the dog-legged knife stabbed into the throat of another person.
Cheng Chumo and others also pounced, one by one, and easily solved it.
Everyone rushed into the house to see that there was also a lot of grain piled up, and they were immediately overjoyed, Qin Huaidao hurriedly said: "I'm afraid the first two places are exposed, burn quickly." ”
The crowd picked up the burning torches and began to set them on fire.
After the fire burned, the group rushed out of the yard, and saw that there were people everywhere outside, but the visibility was not great, and it was difficult to see each other. ”
Everyone was a bold lord, and when they heard the bigger one, their eyes lit up, and they followed closely behind Qin Huaidao, wondering what could be bigger than burning the enemy's grain and grass?
Everyone rushed forward for a distance, and a team of several hundred people appeared in front of them, and no one could see who clearly, Qin Huaidao pulled out a handful violently, rushed over like a fierce tiger, and cut people when he saw them.
The enemy was stunned by the sudden change, and he didn't know what was going on, so he drew his sword one after another.
Cheng Chumo and the others were also stunned, this is too tough, right? But Qin Huaidao made a move, there was no reason to watch, he swarmed up, slashed and killed, this enemy army was cut stupidly, and he was yelling and shouting, as if he was asking, but Qin Huaidao and the others didn't understand, and they didn't talk nonsense, and continued to slash and kill.
The enemy was cut out of flames and fought back, but they couldn't see who it was, and they were worried about being cut down, so they shouted something while slashing the people around them.
Instead of being hacked, it is better to hack someone to death.
Qin Huaidao cut down a few in one breath and shouted, "Follow me, grab the torch and burn the room, don't let them see clearly." ”
Everyone didn't know why, but it didn't prevent them from doing so, and one by one they followed Qin Huaidao's voice to slash and slash the enemy, slashing the enemy with the torch they encountered, picking up the torch and throwing it into the room next to it, so that the surroundings were even darker.
There are more enemy troops gathered in the small fishing village than in the tent area outside the village, and the density is larger, and they rush out of the room one after another when they hear the shouts, crowded together, and the visibility is only a few meters.
But how could Qin Huaidao and the others stop? Dash and slash.
No one is not worried about being slashed and killed, and it is not clear how many people rushed over, who they were, and cut down when they saw something wrong, after Qin Huaidao and others rushed over, those who chased and killed Qin Huaidao were regarded as companions, and the two groups of people were slashed together, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Although language can identify identity, who knows if it is their own person who is blind in the dark, and what if it is fake? Under the same psychological trouble, no one is soft.
Soon, more people were involved, and it was useless to have generals come out to restrain them, and it was gray all around, who knows where the generals were? Who knows who is friend or foe?
A panic erupted, coupled with the fact that I was recently trapped in a small fishing village, I didn't have enough to eat, and I was hungry again, and I had already held back an evil spirit in my heart, and I became crazy at this moment, and I didn't care about the constraints of military discipline, and I took the opportunity to repay my grievances and revenge, and I had no scruples.
This phenomenon is commonly known as bombing camps!
Qin Huaidao led everyone to rush out, found a place where no one was there and hid, everyone watched countless people fight frantically together, and the screams spread far away, and they were immediately overjoyed.
"The camp has been bombed!" Cheng Chumo shouted excitedly, his voice shaking.
After the gate, he naturally understood what it meant to bomb the camp, and looked at Qin Huaidao one by one, his bright eyes were full of shock, and a single slash actually caused the bombing of the camp, this command ability was incredible.
"Let's go!" Qin Huaidao didn't dare to stay, and fell into a chaotic chop.
Once tens of thousands of people go crazy, no matter how strong they are, they may not be able to survive.
Everyone didn't dare to stay, so they hurriedly ran out, many people who were worried about being cut were also running out, and everyone was wearing the same armor, and there were many people who were hidden, and no one came up to check, and a few people easily came to the tent before, got in and took out their coats and put them on.
After that, everyone rushed to the perimeter, found the sled and put it on, and quickly left.
The whereabouts quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding enemies, and many people caught up, but they were blocked by the thick snow, and the visibility was too low, so they could no longer see the figures, so they had to give up.
Qin Huaidao and the others did not go back, but squatted down not far away to check, seeing that the enemy camp was in chaos, and it was impossible to calm down for a period of time, Qin Huaidao suddenly had a plan, and said to everyone: "Quick, go back and come over to fight the whole army and create more chaos." ”
When the two armies fought, they naturally took advantage of their illness to kill them!
"Obey!" The eyes of the crowd lit up, and they turned around and ran away excitedly.
Qin Huaidao stayed in place to observe, waited for a while, heard a dense rustle behind him, and looked back to see that it was the army coming over on a sled, and he was overjoyed and shouted: "Quick, disperse, shoot freely." ”
"Quick, scatter, scatter!"
Voices rang out, reminding the army to disperse.
The five thousand people already knew about it before they came, but when they saw the bombing camp, their scalps were still numb, and they were so ruthless that they were simply killing each other, but they were extremely excited in their hearts, and they took action one after another.
All of a sudden, countless crossbow arrows roared away, and there was no need to be on target, and there was no need to know where the enemy was.
The enemy had all woken up from their slumber, the visibility was already low, and the night blindness could not see far, and when they found that people were constantly falling, they panicked, shouting and asking each other, but the sound was soon suppressed by the screams, and endless panic spread.
Everyone rushed towards the center of the camp, trying to distance themselves and avoid the repeaters.
The people who are fighting in the small fishing village think that the foreign enemy has been killed, and they are more panicked, more chaotic, and more afraid, so they become more crazy, and they all want to kill and stay away from right and wrong, but people are crowded, how can they go?
The bombing camp expanded, and more people were involved.
The crossbows continued to explode, shooting out deadly crossbow arrows, Qin Huaidao's eyes were good, and after finding that the enemies in front of him had run away, he shouted loudly: "Quick, go around to both sides, continue to shoot, don't enter the enemy camp." ”
The five thousand men were divided into two, ran around the camp, and shot indiscriminately into the camp, expanding the commotion, and the enemy did not know how many people came outside, but when they heard the screams of arrows like rain, they thought that there were many, and they all panicked, and ran to the center one after another, dodging the shooting, but they were involved in the bombing of the camp again.
Soon, tens of thousands of people were killed, and some who rushed out were also killed by crossbow shots and fell.
There are crossbows shooting wildly outside, and there are their own people slashing and killing each other frantically, and they can't stop at all, and the scene is chaotic.
Qin Huaidao looked at this scene but breathed a sigh of relief, he was unexpected, he originally expected to burn a grain of food, but he didn't expect that a flash of inspiration would really cause the camp to be bombed.
These 50,000 enemy troops are stable!
The battle lasted for about two hours, the sound of slashing gradually weakened, and the crossbows carried by the soldiers were also exhausted, but no one stepped forward and entered the enemy camp, but retreated a certain distance at Qin Huaidao's request, and waited solemnly.
The camp was on fire, many houses were set on fire, and through the light you could see countless people falling, corpses all over the ground, screams and wails one after another, spreading far away, listening to the terrible.
The soldiers listened to the troublesome scalp and stared at the front, not daring to be careless.
Until dawn, the wailing subsided.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the red-stained earth, everyone was shocked, the entire army of 50,000 was gone? What a horrible bombing camp.
Qin Huaidao found that there were people in many rooms who walked out of the door, looking around stupidly, it should be that they hid in the room when the camp was bombed and didn't come out, there was light in the room, they knew each other, they just blocked the door and didn't let others in, they could have a chance to survive, but there were not many such people.
These enemies slaughtered the people of the small fishing village, and the heavens could not tolerate it.
"Everyone listened to the order, pushed up the horizontal team, and left no one behind." Qin Huaidao shouted coldly, his voice was indifferent, domineering, and unquestionable.
The soldiers quickly assembled and lined up in a row to crush them.
Not long after, when the battle ended, Qin Huaidao came to the small fishing village under the escort of the Yulin Army and shouted: "Collect war horses and clean up the battlefield." ”
"Obey!" The crowd roared into orders.
The grain was killed by fire, there was not a grain left, many houses were also burned down, and black smoke was billowing out, but there were many war horses, looking at the state was not bad, and soon someone came to report, and found a room of grain, Qin Huaidao went over to take a look, the house was full of piles, and there was some forage.
"General, a person was found in a pile of corpses, claiming to be surnamed Gao, the chief general of the army, and asked to see you." One person ran up to report.
"Bring it here!" Qin Huaidao shouted.
Soon, a general was escorted over, his face was gray, but he was wearing a rare chain mail, about forty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Qin Huaidao looked at the other party and asked, "You want to see me?" ”
"In the Lower Goguryeo General......"
"Don't talk nonsense, what's the matter?" Qin Huaidao interrupted directly.
The other party's face changed, and he said with some annoyance: "Datang has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, and that's how you treat prisoners?" General Ben asked to see you, Emperor Tang. ”
Qin Huaidao snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "Where are the people from the Taiyuan Wang Clan?" ”
"I don't know where it is, it's all flying pigeons, and the person they sent to be in charge of contact died last night."
"You ordered the people here to be killed, right?" Qin Huaidao asked.
The other party's face changed greatly, squeaked and whined, and he couldn't speak.
Qin Huaidao saw that he couldn't ask any useful clues, and said coldly: "Since you gave the order, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, go to the bottom to atone for the people's sins, pull it down, and cut it down." ”
The other party didn't expect that Qin Huaidao didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and others caught the enemy commander and hated it, and sent it back to the court alive for a great achievement, this is good, he will kill if he doesn't agree with him, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly shouted: "No, you can't kill me, I ask to see you Tang Huang." ”
However, Qin Huaidao was unmoved.
Everyone wanted to persuade them, but seeing that Qin Huaidao's face was gloomy and terrifying, they didn't dare to say a word, and the enemy army master was pulled down, and soon there was no sound.
Zhi Sili stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "General, what should I do next?" ”
"Leave the wounded and a team to watch the loot, and wait for the snow to melt and bring it back to Yingzhou." Qin Huaidao told that it was a pity that more than 20,000 war horses were lost, and the wounded had to stay to recuperate.
"Obey." An Guogong hurried to make arrangements.
Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned up.
The army had a full meal, prepared enough dry food and quickly evacuated, and went straight to Yingzhou, and the army of Goguryeo going south was wiped out, and it was smooth beyond everyone's imagination, and there were no worries to concentrate on dealing with the Khitan matter, and the liquidation of Goguryeo should also be put on the agenda.
How can the blood debt of so many innocent people be easily put down?
On the way, Cheng Chu saw that Qin Huaidao's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but catch up, walked side by side, and asked in a low voice, "You...... You okay? ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao was thinking about it, and looked over with some surprise after being interrupted.
"You look scary, brothers are worried." Cheng Chumo said in a low voice.
Qin Huaidao looked around, saw that everyone was really looking at themselves, realized something, and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm fine, but I'm just thinking about how to fight Goguryeo, the next battle will be more dangerous, Goguryeo has a city to rely on, it's not easy to fight, can you have the confidence to fight with me again?" ”
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
Countless people shouted one after another, the arrogance was soaring, the fighting spirit was high, and the successive victories made everyone fearless, and the voices gradually became uniform, converging together, spreading all over the wilderness, and the snow of the shaking branches fell.
Qin Huaidao looked at everyone, and his mood was inexplicably much better, with this heroic army in hand, what if Goguryeo had a city? And what about hundreds of thousands of troops?
A good man should kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!
