Night 7 Handover to Dongwei Pass (1)
Last night's last day in Donghai Town was basically nothing to do, and the arrangement of the "Bagua Array" at the city gate was naturally supported by the elders.
What should come is always coming, and after a day's rest in the real world, Zhou Yuye finally arrived.
Walking out of the town guard's mansion, Dong'er was already waiting outside.
For a while, the East China Sea team has been avoiding this ambiguous woman because of the planning to sell illicit salt. At this time, it is inevitably a little embarrassing to meet at first glance.
Dong'er had an expression of indifference, and continued to fulfill his duties seriously, taking out an edict from his bosom and reading it, "The border protection of Donghai Town has been canceled within three days, and the Donghai team immediately went to Dongwei Pass to conduct a handover ceremony with Li Wei, the general of Dingyuan, the state capital, who is currently guarding the pass. ”
"Three? Overdue? Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi pondered it, trying to see if they could take advantage of another loophole.
Dong'er put away the edict and glanced at the two of them, "Don't be thinking about it there, let's leave early." As soon as the three days are up, General Li Wei, who has left the state capital, will evacuate the checkpoint, and if you don't arrive in time at that time, it will be equivalent to giving Dongwei Pass to the rebels in Weixian for nothing. ”
It is 500 miles from Donghai Town to Dongwei Pass, and it can be reached in two days on horseback, and it takes four days for foot soldiers to march in a hurry. Moreover, the foot soldiers who marched rapidly for four consecutive days may not have combat effectiveness, let alone defend Dongwei Pass. That is to say, if the Donghai team wants to take over Dongwei Pass, they must ride lightly and simply, so that they can come in time.
The horses in the stables of Donghai Town have experienced losses in several battles, and there are only more than 50 horses left in the herd at this time. In other words, in addition to the eight members of the East China Sea team, the town guard team can only dispatch about fifty people.
After some discussion, it was decided that Wu Qiang and nine elite township warriors would lead the team, and forty ordinary township warriors who were good at riding would take the first step and go to Dongwei Pass with the dream people of the East China Sea team to hand over. The deputy commander, Zhao Meng, led the same number of foot soldiers and then went on foot. As for the defense of Donghai Town, only thirty elite villagers were left for the time being to maintain the most basic needs.
Even so, compared to the 2,000 regular troops led by Li Wei who are currently stationed in Dongwei Pass, the troops sent by Donghai Town cannot hold Dongwei Pass at all, and they can only wait until they get to the ground to see the opportunity to act.
After some simple preparations, after lunch, everyone set off. It's just that everyone didn't expect that Dong'er actually went with him. If Huang Zhi is not mistaken, this woman should be the first time to walk out of the night.
Along the way, everyone rode horses and galloped, Sima Fuqiang also secretly observed Dong'er's riding skills, it is hard to imagine that this woman who does not step out of the door also has such superb riding skills, and she is not inferior to Cheng Yi who met in the Battle of Weinan at the beginning.
"This woman is either an intelligent robot or a human being." He communicated with Huang Zhi in a whisper, and also secretly glanced at Dong'er to see if she could hear his words.
Huang Zhi guessed the captain's thoughts, and replied cooperatively, "Captain, you have watched too much "Dragon Ball", if you want me to say, she is the legendary dream demon." ”
To his pity, Dong'er behaved as if he hadn't heard it at all, and continued to ride his horse with a comfortable expression. In Sima Fuqiang's heart, he hoped that this woman could hear his words, which would show that she was not a normal person.
It is quite dangerous to talk while riding a horse, perhaps it is the punishment of the dream world for the two of them for trying to snoop on the secret, Sima Fuqiang was just about to open his mouth, but he bit his tongue and shed a mouth full of blood, and had to temporarily stop to receive treatment from Li Sha, and the two had to temporarily give up the temptation.
The teammates didn't know what tricks the two were doing, but they couldn't help but be a little curious when they saw that the captain could bite his tongue so carelessly. Huang Ying was mixed with her teammates, and her face involuntarily showed a trace of distress. Sima Fuqiang always admonished himself to be calm about Huang Ying, but at this time, when he accidentally saw the expression on her face, he felt weak again, and quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look.
This was just a small episode on the way to Dongwei Pass, and although it made the atmosphere weird, it didn't affect the itinerary.
In the afternoon of the next day, the group of people from Donghai Town came to Donggao Pass, which is still a hundred miles away from Dongwei Pass, and they will be able to arrive at their destination early tomorrow morning.
The East Prison Officer was responsible for one of Li Wei's subordinates, because the prison county opposite was a neutral area and there was no threat from the rebels, and ordinary bandits naturally did not dare to openly provoke the checkpoint where the officers and troops were stationed, so the 200-strong garrison was enough to manage this border checkpoint that was no less than the scale of Dongwei Pass.
After Dong'er showed the edict, the guard confirmed the identity of the comers, and did not embarrass them, so he arranged a barracks for them to rest, anyway, there were empty barracks in Dongjiaoguan.
I heard that the pattern of the East Prison Pass and the East End Pass is basically the same, and in the dream, people went up to the city to inspect the pattern of the checkpoint after obtaining the consent of the guards.
The East Prison Pass is built in a narrow mountain pass between two connected mountains, running east-west. The length of the wall is only 50 meters, and there is a three-storey tower in the middle section, and the gate is closed under the city tower. The terrain in front of the pass is a bell mouth, which is narrower, and if there is an enemy attack, even the basic army formation cannot be deployed, let alone set up any large siege equipment.
The rear of the level is a bit wider, with enough space to build barracks on flat ground, and five catapults lined up, with the small open space in front of the level being within its projection range. It is conceivable that if there is an invading enemy, they will have to face a double blow from both the city walls and the city walls.
This is indeed a heroic pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But even at such a checkpoint, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the basic defense of the ordinary without 100 people. If there is a war, there may not be enough thousands of people. Looking back at the townsmen in the camp behind the wall, who were busy making fires and cooking, Sima Fuqiang sighed.
