The repeated robberies made some slight changes in this Ming army, and Huang Shi borrowed the yin trick he learned from Huang Taiji, that is, he was not allowed to rob without permission. Each "loot" had to be collected uniformly and then handed over to Zhao Slowbear for distribution. Relying on this model, Huangshi finally maintained military discipline and did not let the discipline of the troops collapse.

The plan to go out day and night had failed, and Yellowstone had realized that this method was not feasible long before reaching the Sancha River. The cause was night blindness, which was a disease that at least half of Huangshi's subordinates suffered from due to Yan zhòng's malnutrition.

Although the abundance of horses eased the difficulty of the night march, the soldiers still needed to carry torches to light them. Therefore, in the current march, Huangshi just avoided the noon hours and walked as much as possible during the day.

Problem after problem, the dwindling of horses and lack of forage caused Yellowstone a lot of headaches, and finally he decided to take the risk of attacking Houjinyi Station. At this time, the post station was structurally a small fortress, with its own enemy tower, watchtower, barracks, and wooden walls, and there would be a small warehouse and a well inside.

If the post station is stormed, the loss of manpower alone is unbearable for Huangshi, not to mention that the wounded will slow down the march. In addition, the post station also has a beacon tower, and it is not a joke to be surrounded and intercepted by the local troops of Houjin.

Since he couldn't attack by force, he had to sneak attack, and today the pawn went to step on the plate during the day. When he returned, his report was optimistic: perhaps because it was in the safe rear, the station looked unguarded.

The pawn and a few other scouts had been spying on it for a long time during the day, and now the sentries inside were lazy, and often no one was standing guard.

"In my experience, it's best to sneak up in the middle of the night, when people sleep the deadliest. The horse pawn talked eloquently: "My lord, the Zhuangzi that my subordinates have robbed in Shandong is not a hundred or eighty, and the second half of the night is definitely the best time for a night attack." ”

Huangshi's thousands of generals have no experience in this area, and they are inclined to adopt the plan of the horse's pawn, but Huangshi thinks about it, the soldiers still need to rest, and they need to hurry tomorrow. So now no plan can be made from a military point of view alone.

As soon as the genius turned dark, Huangshi couldn't wait to organize a night raid team to attack.

"Your Excellency, the team has been assembled. ”

"Okay, He Baodao, the pawn of the horse, I'll hand it over to you. ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry. ”

Night fell, and forty soldiers who had absolutely no problem of night blindness were assembled and sneaked towards the post station under the leadership of He Baodao.

Huangshi has appeared, and the most distinctive of his subordinates is Yang Zhiyuan, who can do everything and everything is average; He Baodao is desperate Sanlang; Jin Qiude is the most suitable for supervising the war, killing people without blinking; although Zhao Wanxiong has a lot of ghost ideas, but this guy stands far away from the end every time he fights, and his reaction is extremely slow, and he does not want to be transparent about a problem, he will never make a decision.

Huang Shi tried his best to open his eyes in the dark, and vaguely saw four or five black shadows turning over, and soon the door of the post station was gently opened, the horse pawn was really good, the wooden door of the post station was thick and heavy, but when the horse pawn opened it, there was no sound at all.

After a while, Huang Shi didn't even hear any fighting sounds and shouts, and the pawn touched back: "My lord, no one ran away, and no one made a sound." ”

It's really not a loss to the old ringing horse, and sure enough, there are not 100 households, but 80 households.

"Very well, raise the fire, and the whole army will go in and rest. ”

The bodies of the five Houjin post guards were dragged aside, and as soon as the gate was closed, the soldiers immediately set fire to cook, much to Huangshi's delight: the post had much-needed forage and ten horses. The barracks at the inn were designed for 100 people, but they were large enough to squeeze into sleep.

After cooking the meal, Huang Shi, as usual, ordered the soldiers and the generals to monitor the soldiers to wash their hands and faces first, and everyone should drink boiled water, not to mention a few sick numbers. They will be assigned beds like officers.

The devil is in the details, Huang Shi comforted those injuries one by one, and gave them a quilt, saying two warm words, officers in this era are very vicious to soldiers. Zhang Zaidi reported that some people in private said that Huangshi had some "women's kindness", but they were also very moved.

After ordering Jin Qiude to arrange the manpower of the night patrol, Huang Shi also freshened up and went to sleep. The march day and night made him tired, so Yellowstone fell asleep as soon as he fell. When Kim shook him awake, Yellowstone didn't seem to have slept long, and he didn't have long since he did. It's still pitch black.

"My lord, my lord, wake up, we are in trouble!" Jin Qiude's voice sounded anxious.

"What's wrong?"

"The night sentry is surrounded by figures. ”

These words made Huang Shi get up from the bed, and the night raiders outside had already been woken up, and the soldiers who were not the night raiders were also waiting for orders in the dark.

"How many?"

"I can't see clearly, anyway, I don't have good intentions. We guess it's been revealed. ”

Huang Shi followed Jin Qiude to the side of the wooden wall, and looked out through the crack in the wall, as if he also saw something in the darkness.

"My lord, there seem to be people on three sides, the number is unknown, but we seem to be surrounded. Zhao Slowbear slipped over and reported to Huangshi in a low voice.

Huang Shi was shocked and angry, although he knew that now was not the time to be held responsible, he still couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that no one ran away?"

"Atonement. ”

"Forget it," Huang Shi said angrily, now was really not the time to blame his subordinates, and not knowing the number of enemy troops worried him the most.

"My lord, the enemy army does not take the initiative to attack, obviously waiting for backup. Jin Qiude slipped over again and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the people outside are still deploying, is our army taking the opportunity to break through?"

This sentence made Huang Shi suddenly break out in a cold sweat, if the enemy army only monitored him, and waited for the Jin army to surround him, he would have no chance at all. He grabbed a few of his cronies and crept back into the house with them.

"We can't break through," He Baodao objected first: "What if we break through?"

"That is, if you don't lift the torch, if you don't, what will happen to the night-blind soldiers? Yang Zhiyuan disagreed.

Huang Shi felt someone stabbing him in secret, and knew that it was Kim Qiude who suggested that he abandon those night blindness and sickness numbers.

"My lord, if our army does not break through at this time, it will be surrounded by a large army, and I am afraid that I will have no chance. Seeing that Huang Shi didn't react, Jin Qiude said anxiously: "Break through, my lord, make up your mind." ”
