Chapter 249: What's Yours Is Mine
The truth of "soldiers are noble and fast" is not clearer than those who eat food as soldiers, let alone cavalrymen like Qiu Shi who ride on horseback, rely on speed, and rely on mobility to eat, so this truth is not only known to Andrew,
The only difference is that even if Andrew had the intention to send the news of these enemies' high-profile appearance back to their forward base, he could only look at the soldiers who were surrounded by water and sighed in vain, while Qiu Shi cleaned up the battlefield in a hurry, and even let his subordinates have a good rest, and then set off quickly --- the lost Xincheng port.
He's going to take back the port and drive these damned guys out into the sea so they never dare to come back.
Yin Sheng was also in the team rushing to the port, and he was at the forefront. He is a scout, even if he changes his name now and is a 'fine' British camp of 100 households, it can't change the essence of him being a scout. The scout was supposed to do the scout's job, so he set out two hours before the army.
For the 'Jing' Ying Battalion, Yu Feng's idea is very simple, training in actual combat, just at home, who knows what kind of 'color' the 'Jing' Ying Battalion is training something, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to come out for a walk, so Yin Sheng and his men appeared in the middle of the five hundred soldiers who could ride horses allocated by Yu Feng, the only difference is that according to Yu Feng's instructions, they only need to obey Qiu Shi's orders, and the other people have no right to dispatch them.
Three or four miles from the port, they dismounted and carefully dispersed, and in this vicinity, everyone was no stranger, and even a few people could point out the topographical trend here, the houses and fields with their eyes closed. It's just that now it's not the same as in the past, and this once prosperous port is no longer stationed with their colleagues, but a group of robbers from a foreign land.
"Bu Baihu! Are you familiar with this? Yin Sheng held a grass stalk in his mouth, and asked a person next to him who was dressed similarly, the horses were hidden far away from the road, and they came to lean obliquely on a dirt slope, looking at the past from this dirt slope, you can even see the mountain bag that Tao Zhen led the people to swarm at the beginning, this distance, for the scouts, is not far away, if it is closer, it is discovered by the enemy scouts, they are in danger of not being able to get out of contact.
"The first day I arrived in the new town, I was ashore at the front port, and of course I am familiar with it, but I also worked on the dock for more than a week before I was recruited by the training camp." It was Brad who spoke, this time, he had volunteered to participate in this reconnaissance mission, and in this campaign, the camp was basically without any bright spots, and his self-esteem made him feel that he should do something for himself, for himself and for the expatriate group like himself who was working for New Town.
Moreover, his reasons are quite sufficient, he is familiar with the language of these robbers and thieves, knows their behavior patterns, and with his guidance, these scouts who are engaged in reconnaissance work are more effective in completing reconnaissance tasks.
Therefore, after a brief discussion between Dong Qianqiu and Yun Qingshan, his request was approved, and he was even allowed to lead a few subordinates to further strengthen the strength of the scout team.
At this moment, the two of them are lying here, waiting for the return of the scouts who are quietly approaching the port, dozens of people are scattered, in this season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, not to mention those unaware enemies, even if they are them, a little negligence, they can't find the figure that was still staring in the grass just now. The two of them lay on the dirt slope and watched for a while, then turned over and lay down, no longer wasting their eyesight. Rather than staring thanklessly with wide eyes, it's better to wait for these professional-looking scouts to reciprocate.
"I heard that my sister-in-law and my two little nephews are also in the city, so I wasn't frightened this time!" Yin Sheng had never performed a mission alone with the officers of the training camp, and he was very interested in this blue-eyed and big-nosed colleague who took the initiative to invite him, and Brad's fluent official speech made him even closer.
"Why didn't she worry, as a soldier's wife, she should have a strong heart a long time ago!" Brad pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth were 'rippling' with tenderness: "Also, you are wrong, it should be a little niece 'daughter', a little nephew, Selena is a 'female' child, two years older than his younger brother Peter!" ”
He looked at Yin Sheng: "What about you, are you married?" ”
Yin Sheng blinked, and when he saw Brad's happy face, he suddenly felt that it would be a very good thing if there was a 'woman' in the family who was worried about him when he was on the expedition.
"No, I haven't been able to take care of it all these years!"
"Ha, looking at you like that, you must have a crush, if you have, hurry up and marry him back, don't make the 'woman' who loves you sad!" Brad patted him on the shoulder very intimately, with a very clear expression on his face.
"I don't even know what his name is!" Yin Sheng muttered, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a wave of grass in the grass next to him, and the two of them stopped talking, one grabbed the knife placed beside him, and the other picked up a small crossbow and aimed it at the grass in front.
"Goo! Mutter! Two bird calls came, Yin Sheng suddenly relaxed, and scolded in his mouth: "Come out, damn, was your head trampled on by the horse's hooves?" In the broad day, the night owl called, that's how Lao Tzu taught you? ”
A figure poked his head out of the grass, it was Yin Sheng's subordinate Duobao, but at this moment, Duobao was depressed, "I learned from pigeons, not night owls!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, your people have found out something!" Yin Sheng ignored his protest and asked directly.
"There are two patrolling soldiers, patrolling around for about half an hour, and on our side, there are three guard towers, and the brothers dare not get any closer, and if they get any closer, they will be sent down by those rabbit cubs standing on a high place?" Duobao said to Yin Sheng.
"What about the people, how many people, have you found out?"
"I can't see clearly, there aren't many people in the square, and there don't seem to be many people coming in and out of the house, but we didn't see any of our boats at the dock, we only saw four big ships, it is estimated that they are these rabbit buns' gunboats, and there are many people on the deck on the gunboats, but they don't get off the boat at all, so I don't know how many of them are!"
"It seems that this little person can't stop our army from rushing at all, I'm afraid that we can do this without the army!" Yin Sheng became distressed, as if he had already rushed in with his dozens of men and occupied the port: "If we start and those rabbit cubs on the boat run away, then Lao Tzu will be dumbfounded, and Lao Tzu can't catch up with them no matter how much he can swim?" ”
Bled stared at the eyes that were very surprised, looking at this hundred households who were full of bulls and coaxing, and Yin Sheng, who was looking at it, was also puzzled.
"What's the matter, Bu Baihu, did I say something wrong? These crumbs, it really doesn't take much effort to solve them! ”
"It's not this, Brother Yin!" Brad was accustomed to being called "Bu Baihu" by the people in the Wind Word Camp, but in fact, he preferred these colleagues to call him "General Brad!" "Even if he wasn't General Brad, a Captain Brad was much better than the inexplicable name, and he had tried to correct the mistakes of his colleagues, but on one occasion he saw his superior, Sir Velasco, call him "Wei Qianhu!" to those colleagues! After the name of "Master Wei" is sweet, he is completely dead to correct the other party's heart, what can he do, anyway, he knows that it is an honorific title for himself.
"Those four ships are armed merchant ships!" After prompting the other party, he still had an unknown look when he saw the other party, and had to explain again: "Our intelligence says that each of these merchant ships is more than ten 'guns', in other words, the entire port is now within the range of their fire threat!" ”
He paused and said very seriously: "I don't think that those gunners on the ship will watch us rush over, and always be very gentlemanly silent!" ”
"My goodness!" This time it was Yin Sheng's turn to be surprised, he counted with his fingers, "One ship has ten 'gates', and four ships have forty 'gates', even our Beijing City, and there are not so many cannons, are these rabbit cubs crazy?" ”
"It's at least forty 'doors', but unfortunately I haven't seen the cannon 'doors' on the side of their ships, so I don't know the specific number of these cannons, I think what we should be worried about now is not whether these armed merchant ships will escape, but whether we can escape 'life' under the cannons of these merchant ships after launching an attack!"
Yin Sheng was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and slapped his big legs: "I decided!" ”
Brad still didn't understand the meaning of Yin Sheng's expression, but Duobao, who had followed Yin Sheng for more than a year, how could he not know that once his head 'revealed' this face, there was a chance that he would start to 'smoke' crazy, and his experience told him that at this time, the farther away from his own leader, the safer he was. The two stunned 'spirits' of the leader are guilty, and the living people avoid it!
"What has been decided? Yin Baihu! ”
"Duobao, you go back and tell Lord Qiu, ask his army to press a little, wait until evening, see the fire or hear the movement of the cannon, and then start to move! Tell him, I'm trying to find a way to leave those thieves' gunboats behind, it's our turn to turn over the book this time, so many cannons, Lao Tzu will all give the adults 'get' back, and then set up on the head of the new city, and whoever dares to come to our new city in the future will be killed! ”
"Okay!" Duobao simply agreed, turned around and left, at this moment, as long as the head is crazy and don't pull him, he is already grateful to the Bodhisattva for blessing, he turned his head and looked at the foreigner who was still unclear about the reason beside his head, and his heart suddenly felt great pity: "This brother, you just ask for more blessings!" ”
