Chapter 32: Night Talk

Going back is exactly what Guo Zhongda intended, originally what the brocade-bellied snake was good at was sneaking up on the camp and taking the enemy by surprise. This time he can just turn against the guest and turn himself from a passive situation to an active situation, especially after the person from the white turtle came to report the news, which made him even more eager to change the current situation in which the enemy is in the dark and in the open.

The people of the white turtle are good at ambushing, and even the people who are good at lying have not found that there is a situation on the way, so there should be no situation, that is to say, the other party only knows where he will go, but he does not know when he will arrive and how to go.

It's just a secret luck in my heart, the brocade-bellied snake didn't delay time along the way, but it let the white turtle rush to the front, and even the people and horses who took care of it along the way were arranged. In the past, he was the only one who plotted against the Hu people, how could he be so embarrassed now?

After this battle, Guo Zhongda's mentality has changed a lot, less arrogant and more calm. This is not to be said later.

Guo Zhongda is full of confidence in Twenty-Eight, that is Lang Jun's father, a person who walks unsteadily, not much slower than the speed of his own team, this is not a spell, what is it? Maybe this is the legendary shrinking of the ground into a ruler, yes, he is not worried about the safety of Twenty-eight.

"Yama Lao'er, Yama Lao'er!" Since it has been decided to go back, Da Lang must consider the safety of Twenty-eight, it is unrealistic to put it here, not to mention that Twenty-eight is willing to refuse, even Da Lang himself is not sure that after the team leaves, will it be because the left can't wait, the right can't wait, and the other party's people will come back from the front to see what is going on, with Twenty-eight's temper, Bao Qi will directly bring out his own son to intimidate the other party when he sees someone, then of course he will only be arrested.

So you have to arrange it first, use it once for two opportunities, and save it for the most critical moment. Therefore, Da Lang secretly called out to the old man in his heart, but he silently recited it countless times in his heart, and there was no response at all.

"Stinky boy, are you worried about Ah Da's safety? Don't worry, your Ah Da has a big life. Seeing that Da Lang's eyes were empty, Twenty-eight didn't make a sound for a long time, but he didn't care at all.

A person who is only in his thirties, the carving knife of the years has been carved into Twenty-eight's face full of wrinkles, Da Lang silently glanced at Twenty-eight, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but he immediately raised his spirit: It doesn't matter if he Yama Lao'er comes or not! He already has a killing weapon in his hand, if he can't pass this hurdle now, then what will he talk about in the future? What will he talk about to solve the mystery of his own life experience?

"Let's go! for the folks of Baishui Town!" Da Lang grabbed the spear that his second sister had put on the car, stood up suddenly, put one foot in the car, stepped on the frame with one foot, and stabbed the gun obliquely into the sky.

In the morning sun, the two tail feathers on the crown of Da Lang's bun swayed with gold and red light, and the brocade-bellied snakes standing under the car looked up at Da Lang, which was simply the reappearance of the gods!

"Roar~!" All the soldiers suddenly raised the guns in their hands, and stabbed the same obliquely into the sky in the direction of the gun in Da Lang's hand, "Go, for the folks of Baishui Town!"

The earth-shattering roar frightened the birds foraging in the grass by the roadside, the wild ducks swimming in the reeds, and so on.

"The straw paper and the oil have been divided?" Da Lang was also startled by the shouts of the sergeants, and quickly put away his feet and stood firm, and asked the third son.

"It's all in order, and let them all pick up some stones to take with them, and everyone's fire folds have been replaced with new ones, so it's all right. The third son slammed his chest, his face glowed red, and he didn't know if he was excited or reflected by the morning sun.

"Listen to the big brothers, when the paper is collected, the group should be loose, it is best to throw it out, it is better to be able to spread it by itself, and there is no need for everyone to have any accurate head, when you throw it, you will see where there are many people, and throw it away. After throwing it, each person's crossbow arrows were soaked in oiled paper, and this one was to be united, and they were lit with a fire fold, and shot straight at the enemy, and they did not need to be accurate, and they shot wherever there were many people. ”

"It's all up to the little fairy's orders, and the little fairy lets us shoot wherever we want. "Many soldiers did not understand how to use the oil and paper when they were just given the oil and paper, and when they were asked to pick up some small stones, they all understood it, and they generally used the same method they used to touch the camp, but the difference is that in the past, people had to go to the camp tent, pour oil on it, and then light a fire, but now, they use oil-soaked paper to throw it into the pile, and then shoot it with a rocket.

This is safer than before, completely out of direct contact with the enemy. In the Tang Army, only the cavalry would hang a bow or crossbow on the side of the saddle, and most of the infantry used bows, because the bow could be carried on the back, but the crossbow was not easy to carry, so it could only be hung on the waist, and it was very inconvenient to run.

But whether it is the Red Tiger, the Red Shark or the Iron Guard, only a small number of soldiers have bows to use as cover, and most of the soldiers are still mainly charged or armed with guns and shields for defense, which is a quantitative gap with the golden snake with a crossbow in one hand. And the crossbow has a machine, the winding only needs to hold the machine to the end, not only fast but also labor-saving, the only fly in the ointment is that the crossbow is not as good as the bow, but what? a round of salvo down, and in the case of the opponent being caught off guard, this kind of fighting, the winning ticket is already in hand!

The brocade-bellied snake is not a cavalry, this time it is still for Dalang, so he brought more than a dozen horses, but the high morale and the grievance of being on guard against sneak attacks all day these days were released, and everyone suddenly had strength under their feet, and the goal was very clear, so the march was more than twice as fast as when they came.

Hou Da's group took on the duties of scouts as usual, and the only dozen or so horses were assigned to Hou Da except for one pulling the cart, and they were pushed forward to explore the way by rolling wheels, and the farthest horseback was ridden, and after reaching the predetermined distance, the horses were put back, and the horsemen behind followed to explore some distance over the past.

These horses have been with the brocade snake for many years, and they will return to the team, and the remaining soldiers without horses will ride forward to investigate, so in turn, it is hard for the horses, but fortunately, the road surface is basically smooth, and the horses can rest for a while after returning to the team before going on the road, so they are tired and tired, and then have a good rest after the end.

In this way, when it was dark, I had already walked half of the previous road to a gentle slope.

"That's it. Guo Zhongda ordered the soldiers to hurry up and eat dry food and rest, and push according to the distance, it will probably not be long before they can meet the pursuers behind. This gentle slope is the only place on the road that is relatively high, and it is a small hill almost surrounded by water on all sides, and like Whitewater Town, there are only two roads, one in and one out, and it is still a hand-filled road.

"Cut all the reeds and hay on the top of this gentle slope, and cut them thoroughly, preferably at the roots. Da Lang stood on a high place, stretched out his hand and dipped some saliva into the air for a while, and said, "The wind direction will change at night, and it will be very bad for us if they come after the wind direction has changed." ”

"Save it, and the hay and reeds that have just been cut can be spread on the road. "In terms of using fire, Guo Zhongda is much stronger than Da Lang, Da Lang only said that the wind direction will change, and he has already arranged it.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Da Lang and Twenty-eight sit shoulder to shoulder on a big stone at the highest place of the gentle slope, the night is a little cool, the original northeast wind gradually turns into a northwest wind, a few miles away from a small village The original sparse lights are also extinguished one by one, the surroundings are silent, occasionally there is the autumn frog croaking a few times and then being taken away by the night heron looking for food, the night heron flapping its wings in the moonlight The sound of fluttering is extraordinarily loud.

The soldiers are lying quietly on the ground, the perennial habit of night raids makes them no longer so sensitive to the gradually cooler weather, the autumn mosquitoes are very fierce, but no one moves because of this, even if someone has fallen asleep, but still holds the knife in their sleep, breathing evenly.

The enemy is in the village in front of them, and Hou Da and they have already found out, these people are the men of the Iron Guard, and the Iron Guard himself is among them, and it is expected that early tomorrow morning, these people will be on the road, along the road to the gentle slope.

If it was on the grassland, if the village was a gathering place for the Hu people, Guo Zhongda would not hesitate to order a night attack, but it was a village of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and some people might only have that house in their lifetime, and if it was burned, it would be broken, so the ambush site was still chosen on this gentle slope.

"Da Lang, are you afraid?" Twenty-eight picked up a reed pole from the ground, chewed a few bites between his teeth, spit it out again, and then asked Da Lang.

"I'm afraid. Da Lang replied in a low voice, "Ah Da, I'm afraid that if you make a mistake, promise me, Ah Da, no matter what, you must stay here and don't move." Don't forget, Da, you still owe me an explanation. ”

"Hehe, I owe you an explanation. Twenty-eight reached into his arms, pulled out a small bag, and handed it over, "That's the explanation you want." ”

"What is this?" said Da Lang's body trembled slightly.

"Your swaddling clothes, a piece of arrowroot cloth, haven't you always suspected that there are swaddling clothes, this is it, it was originally going to be given to you when you grow up, but now, since you are going to Chang'an, it is better to let you know it earlier, Ah Da is illiterate, you are not literate, there are words on the cloth, these years, Ah Da did not dare to take it out and show it casually, and it is a pity that there is no enlightenment in the village, otherwise you will be able to understand it yourself. Over the years, I have been secretly collecting it, Ah Da looked at the Guo team and seemed to be determined to follow you, Ah Da didn't know what method you used, but if it was a last resort, don't show it to others, the best way is for you to be literate and recognize yourself. ”
