Chapter 181: Anger
The battle in the camp went even more smoothly than expected, and after Lu Ming and the others entered disguised as the Black Evil Army, they were not hindered in any way. A closer look revealed that there were less than ten guards and patrols in the huge barracks, and more than half of them were still napping.
It turned out that this valley was in a closed area, and it was usually invisible to even strangers. Over time, with the exception of the disciplined Black Devils, who would patrol every night, ordinary Tatar soldiers had long since lost their vigilance, so much so that in the middle of the night there was not even a decent defense, and almost everyone was sleeping.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ming immediately made a decision and decided not to wait for the arrival of those coolies who Li Laoshi and their rebellion instigated, but immediately launched an attack.
It was late at night, and all the Tatar soldiers happened to be asleep, and without weapons and armor, their combat effectiveness was even inferior to that of ordinary people, and this opportunity was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It turns out that the wise judgment of the commander sometimes directly affects the course of a battle, and the "impostor" black evil army armed with steel swords has become the real god of death, facing those disheveled and defenseless Tartan soldiers, they have no mercy and sympathy, and continue to harvest life in the screams one after another.
By the time these Tatans reacted, there were less than a hundred people who could get their weapons alive. And more than half of these 100 people didn't know the situation at all, and some of them couldn't figure out why the Black Evil Army, which was an ally, would suddenly kill them until they died.
However, before they could find the answer they wanted, an even more tragic thing happened, and all the coolies in the valley who were responsible for building the road gathered together and killed them. These coolies numbered four or five hundred men, and although they had no decent weapons, they were very powerful, and soon surrounded them by virtue of the superiority of the sea of men.
The battle ended quickly, and after a careful count, Lu Ming's fake black evil army and the coolies who came behind did not kill a single person, and the most serious ones were only some minor injuries, and most of the remaining Tatar soldiers died in their dreams except for a very small part of them who escaped.
"Eun Gong!"
On the other hand, Li Laoshi finally reunited with his second brother Li Moyan again, and the two did not forget Lu Ming's great kindness and virtue, and knelt in front of him for the first time.
"Please, I don't like that. Your salvation is your creation, and it is our fate. By the way, Li Moyan, you people are building roads here, how is it going now? After Lu Ming helped the two up, he focused on the second Li Moyan.
Li Moyan is a little thinner than when he saw it a month ago, no wonder he was able to get in from such a narrow hole, but fortunately, his mental state was not bad, and in the face of Lu Ming's question, he replied in detail: "Engong guessed well, we did build the road here, and now more than half of it has been repaired, but the workload in the past few days has suddenly increased greatly, requiring us to repair the remaining part within ten days." ”
"How long is the rest of the journey?"
"It's not a long road, but it's so narrow and rugged that it's so difficult to walk that I'm afraid it would take a whole day."
"And what about after you get out of the valley? Is it a swamp? ”
"I don't know about this, I haven't been there either, I only know that it leads to Great Wei. However, we have a group of people here who are responsible for transporting the rocks and soil from the mountains, and they should know. ”
Under Li Moyan's introduction, the matter was finally confirmed. There are about 500 coolies in the valley, of whom 90% are responsible for building roads, while the remaining adults are responsible for breaking rocks and transporting the treated rocks along the paths to the outside of the valley. According to the group, their destination for transporting earth and rock was right in front of a huge swamp.
"Mengda, Ritian, old ghost, Shaq. The four of you take these coolies to hunt down the fleeing Tartans, and make sure that none of them are left behind. ”
"Gao Yu, you and Shui Qing go and count how much food is left here, enough for us to eat for as many days."
"Doctor Liang, the wounded will be handed over to you, and I will let Coco give you a hand."
"Rest in place and be on guard!"
After explaining the specific things, Lu Ming found Lei Tianyi alone and said, "Big Farmer, the two of us go to the front to investigate, I want to see what the situation is in that swamp, so as to plan our next move." ”
With everyone doing their part, the results were quickly achieved, but the situation was not optimistic.
First of all, those Tatar soldiers who ran away, although these guys have no combat effectiveness, but their ability to hide is not small, especially in this big mountain, it is even more difficult to find, Meng Da and others only found a few fish that slipped through the net after searching for a long time.
The second is food. There was already a shortage of food in the battalion, and it could only last for a week when it was full, which was also the fundamental reason why General Atto was easily fooled. Although they wiped out 200 Black Devils and 300 or so Tartars, they also brought more than 200 coolies from the valley, and this reduction and increase would have less than three days' worth of rations, so that they could only last ten days at most.
Liang Hansheng went quite smoothly, under his treatment, except for those who lacked arms and legs, most of the people returned to normal state, and their combat effectiveness was retained to the greatest extent, which is the best news.
And the news that Lu Ming brought back was more strange, he and Lei Tianyi quickly arrived at the exit of the valley along the path with the advantage of light skills, and saw the soil and stones transported by the coolies before, and also saw the daunting swamp area. What makes people wonder is that unlike the situation in the valley where the heavy troops are guarded, there are only a dozen or so Tatar soldiers on guard around the earth and rocks, as if no one cares at all.
"Mohd, what's next for you? How are you going to get through that swamp area? ”
The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he specially called Mohd over to ask what was going on, Mohd was a little squeaky at first, but in the end he knew that he couldn't hide, so he answered honestly.
After hearing this, Lu Ming's face immediately became gloomy, and a pair of eyes stared at Mohd, while the latter said with a sad face: "This plan has nothing to do with me, it was all thought up by Helian Tuo, and I am only responsible for implementing it." It really has nothing to do with me. ”
Lu Ming ignored him, but sent someone to call Li Laoshi and Li Moyan in, and after the two sat down, he pointed to Mohd and said: "Let me introduce you to a person, this person is called Mohd, who is the mastermind behind the disappearance of women in Bianzhou City!" ”
