In fact, there is no need to attack at all, just wait until dawn to send a team of people to deceive the door.

The Shaanxi Green Battalion stationed at Mao'er Pass had no idea that friendly forces would "mutiny".

The "abnormal movement" information of the Sichuan Green Battalion's sudden dispatch of troops to Badong was tacitly downplayed by Huguang and Sichuan, so that the Shaanxi side did not receive the relevant notification at all.

This is the drawback of the three provinces uniting to suppress it, but each of them is responsible for its own command system.

If some important information is deliberately concealed, it is impossible to share information with each other.

It also involved intrigue between factions within the Qing court.

Constant victories will make these problems unproblematic, and constant defeats will make them magnified.

What's more, this Kuidong has one more person who does not belong to this era, and one more opportunity to pry the situation!

As a result, the Sichuan Green Camp on the right side of the defense line, Shaanxi can be said to be defenseless, and it can easily be deceived to open the camp gate.

However, at this time, there was at least more than an hour before dawn, and thousands of people were lying near Mao'er Pass and it was easy to be found.

Once the Mao'er Pass garrison is alarmed, it is basically impossible to cheat out again, and it is bound to be a hard battle waiting for the raiding team.

In this way, it is better to attack and take it directly at night.

At the very least, the darkness of the night provides the best cover for the raiding team, and it can also infinitely amplify the power of the night raid.

No matter what time it is, a preemptive strike can always be one step ahead.

Under the deployment of Wang Wu, the two teams went to Mao'er Pass.

Silently, danger loomed over the defenders.

The first to approach Mao'er Pass was a team of 100 people led by Cao Diwei, a subordinate of Wang Wu.

This team is different from other teams, except for wrapping white cloth around their heads as a sign of friend or foe, each member wears a "grass coat" woven from leaves, green vines, and branches.

The grass clothes were made by Wang Wu on a whim on the road, because it could make the team not easy to be discovered by the enemy during the day, let alone late at night.

Cao Diwei, who was born in Wang Wu's own army, is tasked with seizing the gate and taking the gate at all costs.

The other team, commanded by Gou Yu, was responsible for "long-range attacks", that is, shooting the defenders at the camp gate and the walled wall with captured Manchurian bows to relieve the pressure on the team that seized the gate.

The reason why bows and arrows are used instead of firebolts is because bows and arrows are more accurate and penetrating than firebolts at close range.

The smoke formed by the firing of the fire bolt will not dissipate for a while, and it will also obstruct the view of the attacker.

Due to the terrain, it is not possible to put in more teams for goalkeeping.

Mao'erguan is a camp built on the mountain, with only one exit to the east.

The mountain road is just below the pass, to the east is Maolu Mountain, to the west is Zhushan, to the south is Laomugang, and to the north is the primeval forest.

The place in the village is very large, and it faces the mountains on three sides, it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is used as a place for the army to hoard grain and grass by Wang Yizheng, the governor of Shaanxi.

Due to the location in the rear, and the surrounding Ming army's military fortresses were swept away, the guards of Mao'er Pass were obviously lax, and it was not until several people were hit by sudden sharp arrows that they screamed miserably, and the battalion soldiers on duty in the pass realized the enemy attack.

However, it was too late.

"Up!"

Seeing that the guards on the wall of the village were suppressed by their own arrows, Cao Diwei, who was crawling along the mountain road all the way to the foot of the mountain, jumped up with a knife and rushed towards the camp gate, using all his strength to cut down the camp gate made of wood.

Hundreds of large knives and long axes were chopping at the same time.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"The Ming army is here!"

"Bell, bell!"

The warning sound of the defenders in the pass and the sound of the gong were intertwined, which was both sharp and piercing, making the originally silent Mao'er Pass instantly chaotic.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Gou Yu commanded the crossbowmen to constantly fire arrows at the wall.

The lanterns hanging above the camp gate and the torches inserted every ten steps on the wall made the battalion soldiers on duty not dare to probe like a live target, so they had to shrink their heads behind the wall and put a shield on their heads to the rear.

Occasionally, a few brave people heard the Ming army below slashing the gate, and they just stood up and put an arrow downward, or hit a hammer, and then squatted down again.

Where dare to lean out half of his body to attack the Ming army below, that is no different from sending him to death.

"Cut, quick!"

Cao Diwei's command post was desperately slashing the camp gate made of thick wood, and the defenders had already rushed out of the barracks with weapons in their sight and rushed towards the camp gate in a panic.

It was very chaotic, and from time to time there were battalion soldiers colliding with their own people, and they were obviously all frightened by the sudden enemy attack and disorganized.

With the concerted efforts of the people, the rough wooden gate was finally cut through several gaps that could be penetrated.

"Go over and stop them!"

Without saying a word, Cao Diwei drilled over with a long knife, and rushed over with a dozen of his men who rushed over without fear towards the defenders who were rushing towards the opposite side.

Others either continued to slash or burrow over to kill the enemy.

Seeing that someone on his side had burst in, the dog immediately approached the gate with a crossbowman, suppressing the guards on both sides of the wall, and at the same time departing men to help completely destroy the wooden gate.

"It's not good, the Ming army has broken the door!"

One of the green battalion sentry officers who arrived first rushed forward with a knife, but he could see the long knife waving from the opposite side, and the Ming army at the camp gate who was breaking the door.

I didn't want to, but I bumped into one of my subordinates who came behind me, and before I could figure out what was going on, there was a huge pain in my chest, and then I fell to my knees as if I had been cramped.

"Li Tou, it's none of my business, it's none of my business"

Looking at the long knife on the sentry's chest, the battalion soldier's face turned white, he really didn't mean it, and he didn't know that Li Tou would suddenly turn around and run back.

In a daze, there was a black shadow in front of him, and Ding Si, who was poked by the weapon on the sentinel, opened his mouth in fright and was about to shout for mercy, but before the sound came out, a knife light swept through his neck.

"Poof".

Ding Si could hear it very clearly, and he was sure that the sound was coming from his neck.

Not surprisingly, he was stabbed.

When he fell to the ground, he saw a thief with a large knife leaping past him.

"Uh..."

Ding Si, who couldn't make a sound, sat on the ground, and in front of him was Li Tou, the sentry officer who had just knelt down.

"Your mother's Ding Xiaosi, my day"

After letting out the final curse, Li Touxin reluctantly closed his eyes.

He never dreamed that he would die like this.

I knew that it was better to fight with the thief.

Ding Si couldn't support it, his head leaned forward heavily, and he smashed Li Tou's head with a "bang".

He could even feel the pain.

At the last moment of losing consciousness, I vaguely heard the "bang" sound of the camp gate being knocked to the ground, and then the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded in my ears.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a thief with a long knife in his hand who walked up to him and Li Tou, looking at the appearance of the two, the thief also sighed and muttered to himself: "Isn't this unlucky, unlucky to open the door and unlucky to get home?" ”
