Chapter 24: Night Attack I
"Hurry up in the back, hurry up! If you delay your daily itinerary if you are slow, see how I fix you! ”
A fast horse saw that the line behind him was longer again, and immediately rode quickly to come, and his mouth was even more shouting.
"Alas, when will this hard life be the end!"
The cavalryman made his rounds, came to the side by side of the brothers, and grumbled as he went.
"Well, come on, let's do the math. I heard that there was a big drought here, and it started at the beginning of the year. There has been no harvest for most of the year, and a large number of people have fled from the wasteland.
I don't know how many people starved to death, but now we have a stutter, and it's good that we don't have to work. ”
A small leader with the rank of second lieutenant had a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile.
"But... But it's really not happy to have a girl! ~”
As soon as these words came out, several companions immediately burst into laughter.
"Ergouzi, look at your little bit of talent, if you don't dislike it, when we finish this trip, won't it be over to find a few girls when we go back to the logistics station?
I can't help it, so you wait and look around to see if there are any homeless people outside.
As long as you are willing to give someone a bite to eat, you can play how you want! ”
Hearing this, the soldier named Ergouzi shook his head again and again, "Alas, that's not interesting, I heard that these girls who fled the famine did a very bad job." ”
"Tsk, second dog, looks like you've tried?"
As soon as this kind of meat joke was mentioned, the soldiers' boring mood suddenly became restless, and they were all talking about it with great interest.
Everyone was talking about meat jokes while hurrying, but they didn't feel bored.
As for the vigilance around them, they didn't care about it.
Several of them are all small squad leaders, and the highest rank is the deputy company commander with the rank of second lieutenant just now.
A logistics team with nearly one hundred and twenty people, so many people escorting four or five hundred people, does not need to be kept an eye on them all the time.
In addition, they have walked this road seven or eight times, and there has been no problem, and no long-sighted knife bandit dares to come to them to make trouble.
"But the relationship between our company commander is really not simple, the front line is fighting so fiercely, we can still end up on such a good errand, it can be regarded as cheap for us."
"Hehe, isn't it, this is the third time that this kidnapper has been encircled, and he has been besieging him for nearly three months.
Tsk, I don't know what kind of magic power this crutch has, it can last so long, a full 40,000 people to besiege it! ~”
After chatting about meat jokes, several people talked about big things again.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the front-line war was too tight, the escort supplies would not have been as armed as they were.
Generally speaking, this kind of field escort materials is best escorted by military vehicles, although the configuration is still a company, but the mobility is improved, and the safety will be greatly improved.
It's just that so many people have been transferred to the front line, so many people have to eat and drink, and the logistical pressure is too great, and there are not so many military vehicles at all.
"Well, did you hear anything?"
"Movement?"
Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd spoke, and these words also made several people stunned, listening carefully left and right, and they all shook their heads.
"Where's the voice? You kid can't be crazy about women, right? Someone laughed and scolded.
"No, I think I hear someone walking up there!"
As he spoke, the man pointed to the left and right sides of the building.
Only then did the crowd realize that they had come to the entrance to a mountain pass.
It's the only section of the road that is on either side of the road, and once you walk around this corner, the height plummets.
In fact, it is not a mountain pass, only the higher slopes on both sides.
Seeing this kind of terrain, several people looked a little dignified.
It's just that everyone took a closer look and made sure that there was nothing abnormal, and the deputy company commander still urged loudly.
"The speed up later, let's speed up this distance, and let's rest in place after a few hundred meters!"
This chant worked wonders, and when they heard that they could rest, everyone really increased their speed.
"Humph! Don't worry, as long as you pass through here quickly, we'll take a break. ”
Deputy company commander Zhao He smiled and comforted his colleagues a few words, then clamped the horse's belly to speed up the march.
It's just that they were distracted by the chat just now, and they have already fallen into the middle and back of the line.
A few people were about to speed up their progress, when suddenly there was a strange sound on the left and right sides of the upper side.
I saw a series of figures appear, and then I saw this group of people start to push piles of haystacks, or dead wood and stones down.
Whoa! ~
A large amount of debris fell, and soon the pass not far in front was cut off.
There is not a lot of debris pushed down the hill, and it is still easy to climb over if people climb it.
But they are transporting a large amount of materials here, and they have to be dragged by carts and donkey carts to move forward, and they are blocked like this, and they can't move forward at all without moving the debris in front of them.
"It's not !! good"
Zhao He was suddenly shocked, and several squad leaders and squad leaders around him all changed color in unison.
"Be on guard! Alert! ”
Shhh
Bursts of shrill sirens sounded, and the soldiers began to raise their guns behind their backs and become vigilant.
At the same time, the large army that was cut off in front was also a little panicked.
This damn thing, does anyone really dare to rob the military rations? Could it be that the besieged abductors suddenly split up an elite squad and began to attack their logistics troops?
It's just that something is wrong, the kidnappers have long been besieged in Fengxiang by the big army, and it is difficult to send people out.
"Boss, what now?"
A squad leader looked at Zhao He on the side.
"Let a few brothers let these coolies move away from the debris, and the brothers don't take action, let all the coolies nearby go to help speed up the clearing of the passage!"
Deputy Company Commander Zhao is quite reasonable, since the people hiding in the shadows have thoughts about them, there must be follow-up actions.
At the moment, the main forces cannot be distracted by this little thing.
He also noticed that although the large army was in front, they also had eighteen guns on their side, and he believed that as long as the other side did not have guns, it would not be difficult to deal with them.
But the next moment, whoosh! ~
A burst of sound suddenly appeared.
Then there was a wail.
Not good!
But I saw that someone was suddenly throwing down a lot of small pebbles above my head, these small pebbles are not big, but it really hurts to hit people.
All of a sudden, the otherwise orderly ranks became even more chaotic.
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Don't fuck it! ”
Deputy Company Commander Zhao yelled and fired a warning shot.
But the pebbles on the top are like raindrops, and they keep falling, and it's useless for you to shoot and warn, everyone hurts.
"Head! Listen, something is wrong! ”
A soldier was lying on the ground, his expression very solemn.
Hearing this, Deputy Company Commander Zhao covered his head with his hand while also lying on the ground and listening.
"Horses?! It's a horse!! ”
Almost as soon as Deputy Company Commander Zhao exited, he heard bursts of gunfire in the rear ranks.
Bang bang bang!
Because of the length of their ranks, the brothers who shot at this distance were nearly three or four hundred meters away from them.
Seeing this, Zhao He could only curse, turned over his horse, and walked quickly in the direction of the shot.
When I looked at the ground, I saw a large group of black shadows in the distance rapidly approaching this direction.
Just looking at the distance between the two, Zhao He jumped to his feet in anger.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!! ”
"Watch the distance! Watch the distance!! ”
