The Fourth Night Soldier Leaves the Pass (2)

When returning to the Storm Departure Pass, the first thing is naturally to establish the terrain sand table outside the pass before proceeding to the next step.

General Wang looked at the sand table that was gradually forming under Sima Fuqiang's hand, and was extremely surprised. He has been guarding this place for more than a year, and he knows the surrounding terrain very well. It is not easy for these outsiders to figure out the general terrain in just a few hours, and what is even more amazing is that the lifelike sand table actually condenses the terrain outside the gate in every square inch. This sand table skill alone is already impressive, and exploring other deeper things will only make him lose confidence.

The man in the dream completely ignored what General Wang was thinking on the side, but immediately put all his thoughts into the sand table deduction.

It is a northeast-southwest valley that reaches five miles at its widest point and more than two miles at its narrowest point. According to the art of war, usually the army stationed in the lower village should choose the narrow part of the valley to hold the passage; Or stand with your back to the mountain to prevent the enemy from the belly and back.

However, the officials and troops of the Duzhou Mansion really looked down on the defenders who left the pass too much, and casually chose a vacant land outside the pass and went down to the village. As a result, the width of this place is as much as four miles, the distance in front of the village is one mile away from the Kanto wall, the depth of the village is two hundred meters, and there is still an open area of nearly three miles behind the village.

As long as the cavalry battalion of the Eastern Navy can smoothly go around its rear, it needs a large and wide space for them to gallop and add, and finally form an impact on the stockade.

Seeing this situation, the night raid plan has jumped on paper. As long as the cavalry battalion can quietly get out of the pass without attracting the attention of the other side, and make a detour from the flank to the east of the camp, it can successfully carry out a night attack.

It is not very difficult to do this, the Duzhou government army has never thought that the mob army will take the initiative to attack, and in fact, in the confrontation for more than a year, such a thing has indeed not happened, so they simply do not have any means and awareness to prevent night attacks.

It's just that the one-mile distance between the sudden departure pass and the enemy village is not long or short, and if you want to let the five hundred cavalry out of the pass without attracting the attention of the Duzhou army, you still have to use some brains.

Needless to say, in broad daylight, as soon as the gate of the storm exit gate is opened, the Duzhou government army in the east will definitely notice. The opening of the door at night may be a little more hidden, but just like the Weidong Pass and the East End Pass, every night, the storm will be lit with huge torches everywhere to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking at night. Opening and closing the door under the lights will only make it more visible, and it will be difficult to ignore it even if the sergeant on duty at night wants to be lazy. If you deliberately don't light the torch, you will be alerted to this unconventional behavior.

In short, it was a little difficult to get the cavalry battalion out of the customs without knowing it, but it was not difficult for the three stooges, and they quickly had a countermeasure.

The time of the operation was set for the night of the seventh day, and the cavalry battalion began to leave the border at dusk.

When the soldiers of the Lizi Battalion saw that the Eastern Navy planned to sneak attack the 5,000 troops of the Duzhou Mansion Army with only 500 cavalry, they couldn't help but feel a little incredulous, and they poked their heads out of their respective posts to see the excitement. On the contrary, General Wang watched with respect as this army, whose quality was obviously several grades higher than that of his subordinates, quietly passed through the checkpoint where he was sitting, and he had already silently recognized the victory of the night attack in his heart.

At this time, it was time to make a fire and make food, and the setting sun had almost set below the horizon of the northern plains behind the storm. The tall figure of the Storm Departure Pass pulled out a huge Yin shadow in the east, covering a range of half a mile. Looking west from the camp of the official army, the whole of the violent departure pass fell into a gloom, making it difficult to see the face.

At this time, there was still some time before the lights were turned on, and the soldiers on duty in the Duzhou Prefecture Army, as always, rushed to their stomachs and hunger, smelling the smell of rice wafting in the air, and turning a blind eye to the vague violent departure in the shadow of Yin a mile away. They are now waiting for the late shift personnel to come and hand over, so it is more practical to go to dinner early.

The east gate of the storm left the pass quietly opened in this large Yin shadow, and the five hundred cavalry, led by Du Ziteng and Li Erhu, led by wrapping hooves and chewing, quietly leaned against the wall and walked to the south away from the official army camp, without attracting any attention.

When the cavalry battalion gradually moved away, and seeing that the time was almost up, the soldiers of the Lizi battalion lit all the torches at the head of the city as usual, so that the violent departure pass could get out of the brief haze of the twilight, and once again show their true faces to the Duzhou army on the opposite side.

The officers and soldiers who had just taken up their posts glanced boredly at the closed door opposite, thinking that this was another boring night.

The dark night of Dongzhou Da 6 had completely covered the earth, and the cavalry battalion also followed the mountain Yin at this time to two miles southwest of the storm, and the route began to turn in the direction of due south. Although the dreamer had found out that there were no official and military posts in this area last night, out of prudence, Li Erhu took a small number of elites under his command who were "trapped in the camp" to take the lead and open the way for the cavalry battalion.

After another hour, after a large circle of the cavalry battalion, they finally came to the back of the military camp of Duzhou Mansion, and took their positions at the best attack distance, just waiting for the action of the dreamer on the other side to echo it.

At this time, the Donghai team was still monitoring the dynamics of the officers and troops at the wall of the storming pass, and saw that there was nothing abnormal in the opponent's camp, which showed that the cavalry battalion was moving quite smoothly. Next, as long as you wait for the right moment, you can start to reap a hearty victory.

The three stinkers did not forget that it was not their original intention to eliminate the Duzhou Mansion army outside the gate, and the highlight of tonight was to let Xiaofeng and Wuyang practice their skill proficiency, which was only one step away from promotion. Therefore, the battle plan for a while is to let the cavalry battalion attack from behind, disrupt the position of the officers and soldiers, and then the dream man will block the main gate of the camp and storm to gain experience.

As long as the cavalry battalion swings well, the pressure that the dream person has to face will be minimized, and you can rest assured that Xiaofeng and Wuyang can sing the leading roles.

At the beginning of the day, this time was already a quiet time for the barracks without any entertainment. A roaring sound of horses' hooves came from the east side of the camp, waking most of the people from their sleep.

Those who are more vigilant than Xing have begun to put on their armor and rush out when they pick up their weapons; Some old fritters simply thought that the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind could only be their own, so they continued to fall asleep; But many more people reacted with panic or confusion, waiting for instructions from their superiors.

Outside the east gate of the camp, I don't know when a group of strong men with five big and three thick came to the door, and the leader was holding two plate axes, and he cut them down at the gate without saying a word. Others fired a salvo of crossbows, killing the few sentinels on duty at the gate. These people are Li Erhu and several of his "trapped camp" elites.

Li Erhu took over the "demolition work" of Wanyue, you must know that the two of them were evenly matched in Wanghui City. Although this fierce general has now been thrown off by the waning moon with a higher skill rank, it is still not a problem to deal with the simple wooden grid.

Three times five divided by two, Li Erhu went down with a few axes, and the east gate of the camp was opened. But he did not give up, and began to tear down the side to make the entrance more spacious, and the cavalry battalion that was about to arrive entered.

These wooden fences were not strong enough to defend themselves against cavalry raids, but they were really not very defenseworthy if they were left to attack by foot soldiers. With the help of his subordinates who had completed their tasks, Li Erhu finally opened an entrance about 30 meters wide to the east of the camp before the cavalry team led by Du Ziteng arrived, creating a good offensive route for the cavalry battalion.

Du Ziteng nodded at his old subordinates, and immediately led his cavalry to pour in from this gap and began to kill. After the fall, several cavalrymen still led more than a dozen horses behind them, and they stayed outside the camp, which were used by Li Erhu and a few of them.
