Night 4: The Enemy Who Crosses the Border (2)

After resting overnight at Dongwei Pass, the cavalry battalion advanced to the southern part of Wei County, which Du Ziteng was familiar with, early the next morning, according to his judgment, the main force of the mob army should be based on Wanghui City, so he immediately took the mountain [***] to the destination, and exercised the plan of luring the enemy into depth.

The 1,000-foot army led by Liu Yuanzhi and Li Erhu arrived at Dongwei Pass five days later, and Du Ziteng's cavalry battalion fled "in disarray" almost later on the same day, with casualties contained within 30 men, and after Li Sha's treatment, this number was further reduced to single digits.

In the afternoon of the same day, about 3,000 soldiers and horses of the mob army pursued in the direction of Weidongguan, and Chen Chuang led the second battalion to resist for a while, then pretended to be unable to resist, and retreated to the Dongweiguan defense line in all directions.

Li Erhu, who had just learned of Huang Zhi's battle plan, rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army in his dreams, "Boss of the morale, boss of the county guard, boss of the people!" This time, I must let the second tiger take the lead! My 'Trapped' is ready to go to war! ”

For the emotionally charged Li Erhu, people naturally won't attack him in his dreams, but according to the usual tricks of ancient military advisors, people like him must be treated with agitation in order to maximize his combat effectiveness.

exchanged glances with the captain, signaling that he would be solely responsible for this matter, Huang Zhi waited for Li Erhu to calm down before he responded, "We have a big advantage in this battle, I don't think it's necessary to send a 'trap camp', let's let the recruit battalion experience the feeling of the battlefield." ”

Li Erhu, who was in a hurry, couldn't care about the "Boss of Morale" he respected in front of him, and shouted in a loud voice, "Boss, no, if you send a new barracks, the casualties will be too great, so let's let the 'trapped camp' go!" The two tigers can make a military order to ensure that the casualties are controlled under 50 people! ”

"Oh, isn't that bragging? Can it really be controlled within fifty people? Huang Zhi pretended not to believe it.

Li Erhu slapped his chest with a "bang" sound, "Of course it's not bragging!" The soldiers I brought out of the two tigers, which one is not good! ”

Noticing that Zhang Wei glanced at him on the side, Li Erhu hurriedly changed his words, "The soldiers trained by Boss Wei himself are definitely the best in Dongzhou!" Boss Shixin, it's decided, tonight we will 'trap the camp' to take the lead! ”

Without waiting for Huang Zhi to agree, Li Erhu made up his mind with his own words, and then turned around and was about to run out.

"Wait, what's your hurry?" Huang Zhi hurriedly stopped him, there are still many details that have not been explained.

Li Erhu thought that Huang Zhi disagreed, so he turned his head with a bitter face, and was about to scratch his head.

Huang Zhisheng was afraid that he would complain a lot, so he hurriedly grabbed ahead of him and spoke, "You don't even know when we are going to fight, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Only then did Li Erhu hear his tone, and hurriedly stood there honestly waiting for the next instruction.

At this time, it was time for Zhang Wei to speak, "It's dusk, the mob army has just taken over Weidongguan, and we are still busy for a while, if we strike too early, we won't be able to have the effect of a night attack, so we plan to act in the second half of the night." You let the brothers who are 'trapped in the camp' go to bed early, and then there will be a spiritual battle. ”

"The last general obeys!" Li Erhu was in a good mood at this moment, and it was rare for him to give a military salute to the three decision-makers of the Eastern Navy in an orderly manner.

After sending Li Erhu away, the three of them arranged evening tasks for the commanders of each battalion. Before that, Wu Qiang had already followed their instructions and assembled the Eight Bull Crossbow again.

The reassembled Eight Bull Crossbow this time has been transformed by the Ordnance Division, and it is much better than the original in terms of accuracy, power, stability and durability.

Since the rebels in Weixian County have been completely wiped out, the Lizhou army will basically no longer borrow Donghai County, so once these five eight-bull crossbows are installed, they will not be dismantled in the short term, and will be placed on the wall as a protective force for Dongwei Pass for a long time.

After making all the pre-battle preparations, it was already past midnight, and the dream people of the East China Sea team were also driven to sleep by Sima Fuqiang early, while he himself sat in shifts with Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei to deal with some affairs reported by the commanders of the various battalions of the East China Navy.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Wei, who was on the last shift, asked Liu Yuanzhi to summon all the battalion commanders, and he himself went to wake up his teammates, and the third Battle of Weidongguan was about to be staged.

The three generals of the rebel army of Yuanwei County met each other on the road, and in order to avoid suspicion, Du Ziteng was not very willing to have too much contact with the other two, but got closer to Zhao Meng and other veterans of the Eastern Navy. Running into the two of them at this moment, he nodded politely.

However, Li Erhu had a intestine to the end, and he didn't think about avoiding anything at all, and greeted his old boss with a big grin, "Boss Du, I'm finally taking the lead tonight!" I'm going to let the mob know how good I'm 'trapped'! ”

For Li Erhu's affectionate name, he couldn't help but evoke Du Ziteng's memories, and he looked back at Weidongguan in the west, and he was deeply touched. Tonight will probably be quite a miserable night for the mob army, and only he who has been repeatedly defeated by the Eastern Navy can best understand the feeling of panic and helplessness.

The unguardable night attack can always seize the opportunity of the opponent's laxity and completely suppress morale and combat effectiveness; The flexible and clever tactics always make the opponent like a puppet being pulled and manipulated by invisible silk threads, losing the initiative and losing his surname, until he is dizzy; The epoch-making eight-bull crossbow exceeded the range of the Dongzhou Continent Bed Crossbow by nearly half, which was enough to make the opponent suppressed and powerless.

As an opponent, it was really unfortunate to meet the Eastern Navy in this era, but it was also his luck to be able to join them after seeing the combat effectiveness of this army, Du Ziteng couldn't help but feel that his blood was gradually boiling.

"Boss Du?" Seeing Du Ziteng's distraction, Li Erhu reminded him.

Du Ziteng turned his head and glanced at him, "Erhu, do a good job!" Don't live up to the prestige of the Eastern Navy, and don't live up to this elite 'trapped camp' in your hands! ”

"Of course! Second Tiger, I must make the name of 'trapped camp' today! Li Erhu slapped his chest again.

Liu Yuanzhi looked at these two colleagues with a smile and reminded them, "Hurry up, if you are late, be careful that Lord Shixin will disqualify you from taking the lead." ”

Li Erhu shouted excitedly when he heard this, "That's not good, I have to hurry over!" After speaking, he didn't say hello, and rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army in a hurry.

Looking at his back gradually moving away, Du Ziteng said in an envious tone, "People like Erhu still live happily!" ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled, "For a person like Erhu, one in the Eastern Navy is enough." Although the cavalry battalion is the same in number as the other battalions, it is actually the strongest force above the battalions, and as long as it is used properly, it can easily defeat the infantry battalion several times its size. ”

"Du knows, and he won't disappoint you!" Du Ziteng clenched his fists, and his mood seemed very excited.

"Let's go, or we're going to be late." Liu Yuanzhi finally put his mind at ease, it seems that Lord Shixin's personality charm has really completely influenced this rare wise general in the rebel army in Yuanwei County, and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

A moment later, except for Zhao Meng, who was far away in Donghai Town, the other five senior generals of the Eastern Navy gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the dream man to give orders.

At this time, Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei generally couldn't speak, and everything was personally issued by Sima Fuqiang, the county guard, and Huaihua Zhonglang.

Captain Donghai stood up and walked around the case in front of him, "Everyone should be ready, so I won't say anything here." Now you're all in place and ready to go! ”

The five commanders were about to leave, but Sima Fuqiang stopped Li Erhu again, "Erhu, we will act with you." ”

Li Erhu immediately made a bitter face when he heard this, "Boss of the county guard, don't you need this?" ”

Huang Zhi stepped forward with a smile and put one hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, we are just on the same road with you, and we will not interfere with your command of the 'trapped camp'." ”

Jiang Xin looked at the boss of Shixin suspiciously, and Li Erhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Three months ago, Dongzhou time, that is, during the first Battle of Weidongguan, the Donghai Navy, which was only a town guard at that time, secretly opened a secret passage under its wall after successfully taking Weidongguan, in order to potentially hand over this pass to the Lizhou army in the future, in case of emergency.

At this time, Huang Zhi planned to use this secret passage to give the mob army attracted to Weidong Pass by the strategy of luring the enemy deep into an internal and external attack, and annihilate most of their military strength in the southern part of Weixian in one fell swoop.

A moment later, the Third Battle of Dongguan was first fought by five eight-bull crossbows commanded by a battalion of the Eastern Navy. The eight-bull crossbow with the firing angle raised shot a series of flaming arrows through the wall of Weidongguan and projected them into the barracks behind them. A moment later, there was already a ghost crying wolf and a fire in the east gate.

At this time, the gate of Dongwei Pass creaked up, and Chen Chuang's second battalion and Du Ziteng's cavalry battalion poured out of the pass one after another, rushing straight to Weidong Pass, which was 400 meters away. Since the bed crossbow on the Weidong Pass had long been dismantled by Chen Chuang, there was no threat of such a powerful killing weapon, and the soldiers of the Eastern Navy easily approached the gate and began to knock on the gate with simple siege equipment.

After these two troops attracted most of the attention of the soldiers of the mob guarding the pass, another unit was quietly found in Dongwei Pass, that is, Li Erhu's "trapped camp", and the people in the dream were also mixed in.

The large torches of the two gates could barely illuminate the ground about fifty meters in front of the wall, and beyond that range, it was dark. After the "trapped camp" entered this darkness, it did not continue to advance towards Weidongguan like the previous two troops, but turned right into the northern part of this narrow valley, and then turned back against the visual blind spot of Weidongguan on the west side of the valley.

When the "trap camp" adhered to the west side of the valley and walked about fifty meters to the north side of the Weidongguan wall, that is, the closest distance just beyond the light of the torch, there was a huge pile of rubble on the ground, overgrown with weeds.

Ordinary people would never imagine what the problems would be with this pile of rocks, because each stone weighs about two hundred catties, and ordinary people need the cooperation of four people to lift it, so no one will come here to move stones to play. Besides, the mob army just took over the Weidong Pass this afternoon, and it is impossible to even understand the layout of the pass, let alone know what is hidden in the valley outside the pass.

Li Erhu looked at the pile of rocks, spat in his hand, swaggered up to pick up one of them, and trembled to the side and threw it down. After showing his heroic appearance, he waved triumphantly and motioned for his subordinates to move the pile of rubble.

Wanyue shook her head, and then walked out, letting the soldiers who were "trapped in the camp" get out of the way, rolled up her sleeves by herself, directly picked up a stone, and easily threw it into the open space next to it, as if it was just an ordinary stone weighing ten pounds.

Li Erhu couldn't help but stick out his tongue when he saw it, the strength of this waning moon boss was really amazing, far stronger than he imagined. The two had a record of fighting each other in the battle of Wanghui City, when he used the momentum of the charge to split the waning moon back with an axe, so he didn't really feel how powerful the boss's "brute force" was.

At this moment, everyone also compared their strength with a bunch of still big stones, which immediately showed the difference in strength between the two. Li Erhu was only barely able to lift these stones weighing two hundred catties, and it was absolutely impossible to throw them like the waning moon. He made a preliminary estimate that the strength of this waning moon boss had reached at least four hundred catties to make such an action so easily.

Li Erhu is a straight surname, but he is not a fool, after calculating the inhuman power of the waning moon, he immediately ran over to meet the boss, "Boss of the waning moon, how did you train this strength?" Can you teach me? ”

Following Boss Du, Boss Shixin, Boss Renwei and Boss Junshou, Li Erhu finally recognized the fifth boss, and this alone is enough to be proud of Wanyue.

Wanyue was secretly happy in his heart, the reason why he showed such a hand was purely out of the meaning of competing with Li Erhu, and to find a way back for the losses he suffered in Wanghui City. At this moment, he thought to himself, "Hehe, you monster, if you also have the 'brute force' skill, how do you want others to mess around?" ”

Although he was secretly proud in his heart, he replied in a high-sounding manner, "Don't you look at what time it is, let's talk about winning this battle." ”

Once Li Erhu convinces someone, he will be determined to recognize this person as the boss, and when he hears the lesson of the waning moon, not only does he not have any dissatisfaction, but he immediately shouts loudly to the soldiers who are "trapped in the camp" under him, "What are you still doing in a daze, come and help the remnant moon boss move stones together!" ”

In the crowd of the East China Sea team, Xiaofeng quietly gave a thumbs up to the waning moon. Although Xiaofeng is a dream man and a powerful figure in the Eastern Navy, because he has no strategy and no combat power that can convince Li Erhu, he has not been able to make this fierce general as obedient as he did to Huang Zhi and the others, and he is naturally envious of the waning moon at this time.

A moment later, the pile of rubble was removed, revealing a large, swarthy hole hidden in the grass.

Sima Fuqiang was the first to enter the cave, and only then did he light a torch to illuminate the pavement of the secret passage. Then the person in the dream followed the fish, followed by Li Erhu and his "trapped camp".

Since Weidongguan was in the hands of the Eastern Navy most of the time, Wu Qiang would arrange manpower to widen this secret passage from time to time, and at this time, the situation of only one person could only pass through at the beginning to enough for three people to go in parallel, ensuring that the sneak attack troops could quickly pass through this secret passage.

The secret passage followed the west side of the valley and went southwest for about fifty meters, and then turned due west, passing vertically under the wall of the Weidong Pass, and leading straight into the pass. This secret passage to the west is about fifty meters long, and the exit is blocked by a pile of large stones of more than 200 catties to avoid being discovered by the defenders in the pass.

When I went out, because I was in the hinterland of the Guannai, I could no longer move stones slowly like just now, so the two fierce men of Wanyue and Li Erhu took action in person, divided by two in three times, and it only took a few minutes to clear the exit.

A group of people, led by the Dream Man of the Tokai Team, quickly came out of the secret passage and seized the advantageous terrain to avoid being besieged by the defenders outside. But in fact, there was no one outside, because the Eastern Navy chose the secret passage exit after careful consideration, and it was set up behind the Guannai armory.

This armory is backed by a ridge and faces the barracks, so normal people would not go out of their way to guard against the small open space behind it, which leaves space and time for the Eastern Navy to deploy.

By the time the dreamman and the soldiers who had "trapped the camp" poured out from behind the armory, there was not even a mob army guard, and most of them were attracted by the feint troops in front of the gate.

Under the leadership of the man in his dreams, the "trapped camp" soldiers trained by Zhang Wei with the standards of modern special forces killed the mob from behind like wolves. The mob army, who was completely unaware of the situation, was suddenly in chaos, and when they heard the soldiers of the Eastern Navy chanting in unison, "Break the barrier", their morale also fell to the bottom in an instant.

The battle situation showed a one-sided trend, and Li Erhu led most of the "trapped camp" to rush back and forth in Weidong Pass, and there was no one under his command. The man in the dream "borrowed" fifty soldiers from him, went straight to the Dongguan wall, and captured the tower after a while. By the time the waning moon opened the gate of Weidong Pass, the mob army in the pass had been completely disrupted by the "trapped camp" that rushed left and right, and it was impossible to effectively organize defense. When Du Ziteng led the cavalry battalion to rush in, the rest of the matter was only one-sided slaughter.

Because the military discipline of the rebels in Tyranny County was extremely bad, it was worse than the original rebels in Weixian County, and they burned and looted in the south of Weixian County, which caused public anger, so in the dream, people no longer let the Eastern Navy capture prisoners, but took the complete annihilation of the other party as the main goal, and let go of their hands and feet to kill a happy one.

By the early morning of the eleventh day of Dongzhou time, the third battle of Weidongguan had basically stopped, and the 3,000 mob army suffered countless casualties, and only a few hundred soldiers who voluntarily surrendered were spared.

In contrast, the losses on the part of the Eastern Navy were almost negligible, and the number of casualties just exceeded 100. Although there are hundreds of wounded, there are only dozens of seriously injured people who need Li Sha's personal treatment, even if it is to contribute to her "healing" skill proficiency.

If it weren't for waiting for her to treat the wounded, the Donghai team would almost have to counterattack and regain the lost territory in the southern part of Wei County. However, at this time, Du Ziteng and Li Erhu can only be assigned to take the two strongest battalions of the Eastern Navy to do these things, while the dream man will stay in Weidongguan until the fourteenth day and return to the "real" world.
