Chapter 59: Ambush

But it was said that Qin Ming listened to Ding Zhixian's "suggestion" and decided to go up the mountain at night to attack and seize the village.

Since you can't resist, you can only try to make up for it, find a way to increase the winning rate of this battle, and reduce the risk of sneak attack and ambush.

After Qin Ming confessed to Ding Zhixian, he left Ding Zhixian and convened the generals to start the discussion.

Ding Zhixian didn't have any opinion on this, after all, it was also good for his meritorious service.

In winter, the days were short, and after the officers and soldiers had eaten dinner, as soon as it was dark, they received an order to go to bed immediately.

The veterans of the army immediately knew that there would be a big battle tonight, and either the enemy would come to attack the camp, or their own families would go out to attack.

The army only took a nap, and on the day of the watch everyone was awakened and began to march out of the tent.

Qin Ming ordered 2,000 men and horses, brought weapons and equipment, and prepared to go up the mountain, while the rest of the people stayed in the barracks.

The mountain is narrow, this time I went to steal the camp, and I couldn't bring too many people, otherwise I would inevitably be discovered by the sentry.

If 2,000 people can't steal the cottage, then there is no point in bringing more people, it must be hard to do it, it is better to simply withdraw the army and lead the army to attack in an all-out way during the day.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, but there is no need for torches, and there is less possibility of being discovered.

Qin Ming personally led this group of people, slowly touching along the mountain road, but fortunately, the mountain road here is not steep and steep, and there has never been snow, the road is not slippery, and there is no loss of manpower.

Although the cottage also has a secret sentry, it is too amateurish, and it is too far inferior to the veterans who have survived years of battlefield fighting in the official army.

Before the large army went up the mountain, the scout team had already set off first, and silently pulled out all the eyes in front of the cottage.

By the time of the second watch, Qin Ming and the others had already come to the dense forest in front of the main gate of Yushan Village and hid quietly.

After Qin Ming lay down, he began to look carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became, but he was a little glad that Ding Zhixian had made detailed arrangements in the cottage.

In front of Yushan Village is a large flat ground, where the original trees have been cut down by the roots, and you can see it at a glance.

If the army advances further, it will be easily discovered by the guards in front of the gate.

In particular, Li Ghost also asked people to light a few torches in the open space in front of the village, even if the sky was cloudy, and night lighting was indispensable.

If the torches are about to run out, there will be soldiers who will come in advance to replace them to ensure that their vision is not affected.

And the size of this piece of ground, not square, but trapezoidal, the closer to the gate, the wider the area, the narrower the opposite, the excess places are all stuffed with all kinds of sharp stones, and cold water is poured on them, the ice ballast is scattered, it is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to stand on it to fight.

Of course, Qin Ming could see that this kind of terrain was specially designed and specially prepared for battlefield fighting.

If the two armies fought in the square, the cottage side could put in more troops than the official army, and it would naturally take advantage of it.

Moreover, the length of this square happens to be a stone's throw away, and as long as an army sets foot on this flat land, it will step into the range of the archers on the wall.

The thief army was condescending and had a longer range, and the officers and soldiers below could only be shot, and it was difficult to return fire.

Yushan originally had no natural hazards, but it was artificially created as a good place for defense.

Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, this thief is really confident, he has always defended one side, but he can't hold out, and he relies on fortifications to take advantage. But the thieves here actually designed the battlefield in front of the walled gate, making it clear that they wanted to go out of the city to fight, obviously because they were quite confident in their own force.

He looked towards the city again, and could faintly see the lantern hanging above the gate, and the shadowy guards behind it.

According to Ding Zhixian, if the meticulous work is successful, you will see the fire in the wall, and at the same time, the city gate will be wide open, and you only need to kill it directly.

Qin Ming originally disagreed with this kind of practice in the romance script, but now that the arrow is ready to be sent, he can only hope for the success of the detailed work.

On the third watch, everything in the village was still calm and there was no sound.

If it was cold today, lying on the ground, it was like sticking to the ice, the soldiers behind him were already a little restless, Qin Ming was furious, turned his head and looked at him, and when he landed, everyone was silent, and he didn't dare to move a bit.

After waiting for a while, suddenly a red light pierced the night sky in the village, and then the door of the Yushan Village in front of it suddenly opened, and several people rushed out of the door, threw several corpses to the side, and waved their hands to this side and shouted:

"The gate of the fortress has been opened, attack quickly!"

At this moment, Qin Ming didn't care about distinguishing the truth from the fake, jumped up, raised his mace, and shouted:

"The generals will listen to the order, follow me to take the door!"

"One battalion will enter first, and the rest will line up outside the gate!"

The soldiers who had been lying in the forest for more than an hour had long been tired of it, and they agreed in unison, raised their blades, and rushed towards the gate of the village.

Qin Ming took the lead, rushed to the gate of the village, and saw several corpses on the ground, indeed dead, and covered in blood, obviously just died, looking at the clothes on his body, he was indeed a copycat thief.

He was a little relieved, but when he turned his head to look for those few fine works, he was nowhere to be found, and he became nervous again.

At this time, a battalion of men and horses had already rushed into the cottage, so they didn't think much about it, carried a mace in one hand, stood in front of the gate of the village, probed their brains inward, and waited to confirm that it was not a trap, and then killed the generals.

Who knew that the people in the village saw that he refused to take the bait, so they didn't wait, a huge gate suddenly landed behind the door, and blocked the gate again, and at the same time the drum sounded, shouting to kill the sky.

"Oops! I'm also in the middle of the plan! ”

Qin Ming shouted and hurriedly led the army back.

Originally, only one battalion was ordered to enter the village, which was the countermeasure after the discussion of the army, so as to prevent falling into the trap and annihilating the whole army.

There is a way that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as Qin Ming, the coach, does not have a problem, so a little damage is not a big problem.

As for the sergeants of that battalion, they can only be counted as bad lives, and they can only be compensated.

The military had already been notified, and now they did not panic when they saw an ambush, and began to retreat in an orderly manner under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels.

Just as the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, a voice suddenly came from above the wall.

"The general has come from afar, is this going to leave?"

Qin Ming raised his eyes to look, and under the moonlight, he could see clearly that it was Li Gui, the master of the Yushan thief's big village.

Qin Ming was extremely annoyed, jumped like thunder, pointed at the Li Ghost in the city and scolded:

"Vulture thief!"

"This time you are better than one, and tomorrow, a certain person will come to suppress the thief, and he will definitely break the corpse into thousands of pieces and pay tribute to the dead soldiers!"

"Why tomorrow? Grandpa is here to capture you tonight! ”

Ghost Li roared, holding a big axe, jumped down from the city wall, fell to the ground with a bang, and then strode towards Qin Ming.

With the launch of Ghost Li, on the wall, arrows suddenly rained down, covering the past towards the official army.
