Chapter 23: Change
In the late autumn night, the sky is full of stars, the golden phoenix is practiced, and the time has passed, which is a good time to sleep.
Wang and Yao were the same, after a busy day, they had just fallen asleep, but they were woken up by the patrolman on duty.
Out of the barracks, the teaching field was in chaos, and the inspectors pointed to the southern sky, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Big brother, what's going on?"
Seeing Zheng Siming, the two of them went straight to the city wall together.
"I don't know, but it looks like it's in the direction of Dalanshan Cottage."
Zheng Siming didn't know what to do, and he was also confused.
Dalanshan cottage?
Wang Heyao couldn't help but be surprised.
Could it be that the Qing army began to encircle and suppress the Dalan Mountain cottage.
On the city wall, Wang Heyao looked to the south, the fire was soaring, dyeing the sky red, illuminating the night, it seemed to be the location of the Dalan Mountain Cottage.
Since Geng Jingzhong's troops sent to Zhejiang, the official army has pursued and attacked all kinds of bandits in Siming Mountain, with the aim of preventing them from colluding with Geng Jingzhong and the Zheng clan in Taiwan.
Combined with Gao Jiaqin's words during his visit a few days ago, it is likely that Hu Shuangqi and his subordinates were besieged by the Qing army, and the situation was not good.
"Old Five, what should I do?"
"Fifth brother, what should I do?"
Li Xingzhong and Zheng Ning surrounded and asked almost at the same time.
"What do you say?"
Wang Heyao stared intently at the firelight in the night sky.
"Then you don't need to ask, of course you can save it!"
Zheng Siming replied anxiously.
"On this occasion, how can we be missing?"
Zhao Guohao said loudly, a little impatient.
"Old Five, are you afraid of ......?"
Sun Jiachun's words were not finished, and Wang Heyao made a decision categorically.
"Second brother, you and Zheng Ning stayed in the Inspection Division, and I will take people to Dalan Mountain!"
"How is it?"
Sun Jiachun wanted to argue, but Wang Heyao had to whisper.
"The eldest and the fourth know the road, and the third stays, I don't worry! Drive everyone back, and you'll have to do things later. ”
Li Xingzhong will use artillery, Zheng Siming knows the road, Zhao Guohao has a reckless personality, although Sun Jiachun has a lot of big and small problems, but he is shrewd and capable, let him stay in the cottage, Wang Heyao is stable.
"What's so worrying about staying behind!"
Wang Heyao and the others went down the city wall, Sun Jiachun muttered a stupid word, his eyes swept to the patrol who was chattering and watching from the south in the teaching field, and frowned.
"Go back to sleep! For a stick of incense, if you don't go back to lie down, you will be confined! ”
It's not his turn to do big things, and it's really awkward in my heart.
The military order was given, the inspectors dispersed, and darkness and silence soon returned to the school grounds.
Wang Heyao and Zheng Siming ordered more than a dozen henchmen to patrol the soldiers, including tigers, dogs, monkeys, and three males, all of whom were wearing armor.
"Everybody wear a black cloth mask! Bring a bird gun and an extra spear! ”
The stakes are very high, it may be an encounter, Wang Heyao solemnly ordered to go on.
"Brothers, we have to do things, it's very dangerous, we may lose our lives, if you don't want to go, you can not go, never reluctantly!"
Wang Heyao's gaze was on the patrolmen selected in front of him.
There are many people and great strength, and there are only four of them, and the number is too small.
This group of people, plus the four of them, was only twenty people.
"Wang Tou, follow you, don't be afraid!"
"Instructor! We are not afraid, we believe in you! ”
Thin monkeys, dogs, Dong Jiayao and others spoke out one after another.
"Don't worry, adults, everything is only the first to look forward!"
Seeing Wang Heyao's gaze sweeping over, Liu Wenshi stood up and saluted with his fists.
"Adults, villains listen to adults, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"
Without waiting for Wang and Yao to speak, another old patrolman, Lao Huang, the old partner of the thin monkey, also said with a bitter face.
Lao Huang looks like this, bitter and hateful, his father doesn't love his mother, he has two wives, no children, one stuffy gourd, and a hard time.
Since he and the Skinny Monkey took over the Xigou Pass, the days have been a little better.
The inspection department has the best archery skills, and he is naturally obliged.
The military heart is available, Wang Heyao nodded and stood up.
He came to the window, and there was silence in the teaching field. Apparently, the inspectors all returned to the barracks.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Scholars, children of merchants, dilapidated farmers, called Huazi, and remnants of the previous dynasty who plotted against each other, a group of people and dragons and snakes are mixed, which can be said to be all-encompassing.
It was pitch black in the teaching ground, and everyone left the station silently and dived into the night.
With Zheng Siming as a guide, Wang Heyao and others ran all the way, through the forest and the mountains, and finally arrived at Dalan Mountain at dawn.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, fortunately, the patrolmen practiced every day, cross-country long-distance running in the morning and evening, and their physical fitness was excellent, although it was hard, they could still hold on.
The sky was bright, everyone hid in a hidden place to watch, the mountain road was covered with blood, the corpses of bandits and Qing soldiers were scattered all over the place, and the postures were different, including many women, children, old and children, some broken walls and ruins were covered with green smoke, and the traces of war were everywhere.
"Big brother, is there a path?"
Wang Heyao said softly, his eyes turned to Zheng Siming on the side.
If you take the big road, it is very likely that you will encounter the Qing army.
"Follow me!"
Zheng Siming led everyone and turned onto a small road.
"I just don't know what happened to the big village master?"
On the way up the mountain, Zhao Guohao said softly.
Wang Heyao nodded, also uneasy.
"Shh
Zheng Siming suddenly made a silent movement, and all the patrolmen stopped, squatted down, and hid in the deep grass and behind the trees.
Daily training, obedience, discipline, ears and eyes, unforgettable, Wang Heyao, the "instructor", did not say anything, did not issue military orders, no one asked, and did not say anything.
Wang Heyao was also shocked, he hid his body, and looked cautiously ahead in the waist-deep grass.
Not far ahead, on a flat ground of about 100 meters, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army wearing white uniforms and red tasseled hats were holding guns and knives, and their eyes were full of eyes. Some Qing soldiers were full of arrows and feathers on their backs, majestic, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they were heavily guarded.
Here, there must be a big fish! And, there may be more than one!
Wang Heyao continued to watch, in the middle of the vigilant green battalion soldiers, in a wide open space, there was a table, a Qing official wearing a red cherry blossom warm hat and a dark official uniform was sitting on a chair behind the table, holding a tea cup, savoring it calmly.
At the table, two other officials in bird uniforms stood solemnly and respectfully.
Among the vigilant green battalion soldiers, there are also lightning rod iron helmets on their heads, eight banner soldiers wearing armor, all with long knives at their waists and hips, and there are many of them, and they are majestic.
The tables have been moved up the mountain, what a big official authority, what a big formation!
Wang Heyao was secretly surprised, and his face was solemn.
He looked carefully, and on both sides of the hillside where the Qing army was stationed were bottomless, mist-shrouded cliffs, and it seemed that there was no other way to continue advancing.
These Qing troops happened to be stuck in the throat of the mountain in the north.
Zheng Siming looked towards Wang Heyao, first stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, and then stretched out the index finger of his right hand.
Wang Heyao nodded, indicating that he understood.
20 against 200, it's a tough battle!
If there are 20 AK47s, a big cleaning is not too violent.
If he could go back, he must tell Zheng Siming that he couldn't stretch out his middle finger alone. This is too insulting!
