Chapter 51: Twin Peaks
The old monk clasped his hands together: "The donor doesn't have to be polite, but if you ask, the old monk should know everything." Qin Fei thanked him again, and the old monk went to the side to continue shoveling snow.
Qin Fei said to Duo'er: "Although I know the Treasure Dao Peak, according to what you said, the treasure map is cut into four parts, and it takes four parts to combine them to see the clues of the treasure." The current part is only to see the treasure knife peak, then the treasure should be around the treasure knife peak, if there are no other three, it is difficult to understand the treasure location. ”
Duo'er nodded, "That's true, only one fragment can find the treasure, so there is no need to cut the picture into four parts." ”
Shen'er and Mo'er had come down from the back of the palace at this time, their faces were flushed, and they were even more enchanting in the snow, Duo'er chuckled: "You two have gone crazy enough, why don't we go back." The second daughter nodded, and a few people left Deyong Temple and went to Shuaifu.
When passing by the Shuai's Mansion, he saw that the hall inside was still drinking and feasting, Qin Fei was not good at drinking, so he bypassed the gate of the mansion from a distance, for fear of being seen by the righteous brother, so he caught the people and drank heavily.
Back in the small courtyard room, the room was as warm as spring, and when everyone left, the servants still burned the charcoal basin, so as soon as they entered the house, they felt the warm breeze blowing on their faces, and the master and servant of Duo'er did not want to go back to their own room, so they kept talking in Qin Fei's house.
There was a soldier at the door to report: "Yu Shaoxia, the commander of the Tiger Army, Jiang and Gan, came from Xingqing Mansion to escort grain and grass, and I heard that the young man is here, so I came to visit." When Qin Fei heard this, he knew that it was Xuanhe Jiang Impermanence and Tiger Idiot Gandao, so he said: "There is an invitation in the living room." Qin Fei walked out of the wing room and came to the living room.
After a while, at the sound of the steps, two people came in at the door, it was Xuanhe Tiger Idiot. When the Tiger Idiot Gandao people met the alliance in Mount Tai, they fought with the flying leaves on the grass without a trace, and later they have been recuperating in Xingqing Mansion. Will be raised so far, see that it is very good, this time there is grain and grass to Xiazhou, the two of them volunteered, to the Western Xia lord Li Yuanming for advice, come to Xiazhou to work army.
Hearing that Qin Fei led the army to aid Xiazhou, as soon as the two arrived in Xiazhou, they came to visit. One is that when he was in Dadu, Qin Fei had saved Jiang Wuchang's life, and Qin Fei was now the righteous brother of Prince Ruimang, so he had to take the initiative to come and move around.
Seeing the two of them enter the living room, Qin Fei hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "The two of them just arrived in Xiazhou, Qin couldn't greet them from afar, and it was a sin for the two of them to come to the door in person." Xuanhe Tiger didn't dare to shout in his mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Qin Fei. Qin Fei saw that the tiger idiot Gandao man had already healed from his injuries, and he was also happy for him.
Everyone sat down separately, and the soldiers served hot tea.
Qin Fei said: "The two of you have been tired all the way, and they came from Xingqing Mansion, and the wind and snow on the road should not be easy to walk." ”
The Gandao man replied, "Exactly." The wind and snow are angry, and the road is difficult, and sometimes you can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day before you have to camp to avoid the wind. However, His Majesty was concerned about the soldiers defending the city in Xiazhou, and said that no matter how difficult it was, the grain and grass must be delivered in time, and he also ordered the two of us to bring some beef and mutton and some wine to comfort the soldiers ahead. ”
Qin Fei sighed: "The monarch cares about his subordinates, and the soldiers dare not use their lives. It is no wonder that for a hundred years, the Western Xia country has been like a rock, although the regional population is not as good as that of the Liao and Song dynasties, but it is still standing. ”
"Although the journey from Xingqing Mansion to Xiazhou is difficult, it is much easier than that of the Liao people. Yunzhou and Datong are thousands of miles away from here, and many places on the road are uninhabited, and the snow falls all over the sky, and you will get lost if you are not careful. Tiger idiot Gandaoren said.
"I heard that the Liao people built more than ten grain platforms along the grain road, and I was afraid that the army at the front would be short of food. However, if there is no grain to transport from the rear, what is the use of more grain stations, there is no grain to store. Xuanhe Jiang impermanence said.
Qin Fei heard the words and said: "A few days ago, my brother and I entered the Liao camp at night and found out that the nearest Liao army grain platform was under the Shuangfeng Ridge more than 100 miles away, but I didn't know if there was grain and grass in the grain platform. ”
The tiger idiot Gandaoren slapped his thigh and said: "It's a pity that some time ago, when the Japanese Liao army attacked the city, I was seriously injured and did not recover, and I was unable to go into battle to kill the enemy. Now that the injuries have healed, the Liao people are cowering in the camp tent and have nowhere to fight. ”
Jiang Wuchang looked at Qin Fei and said to the tiger idiot: "There is nothing to do right now, but it is better to ask Qin Shaoxia to lead us to burn the Shuangfengling Liao Army Grain Table, it is better than being bored in the city, I don't know if Shaoxia is willing to go." ”
The tiger idiot was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right, it's like Shaoxia leading us to burn the Shuangfeng Ridge Liao Army Grain Table, no matter whether there is food in it or not, it also greatly demoralizes the Liao Army." ”
Qin Fei couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart when he saw these two people, even though they were still aggressive, but Xuan He's proposal made Qin Fei's heart move. At present, the two armies are deadlocked, although Xiazhou City is temporarily worry-free, but the Liao army will not withdraw its troops, and when it comes to the spring of next year, it will inevitably start again.
Jiang Wuchang saw that Qin Fei was tempted, so he said: "Now that the weather is cold and the wind is cold, the soldiers of the Liao camp under the city are all shrunk in their tents and dare not come out, and they never dreamed that this kind of weather would make us sneak attack the grain platform." All it takes is a light cavalry to catch them off guard. The Gandalians also chimed in.
Qin Fei pondered for a moment and said: "It's good, but you need to inform your brother, after all, the two armies are at war, and it's not appropriate to send troops privately." ”
Jiang Wuchang and Gan Dao both nodded, and Gan Dao said: "I want to tell Prince Ruimang, if Shaoxia has no objection, I will go to tell the prince." ”
Qin Fei nodded, Gan Daoren got up, and rushed to the lobby of the Shuai Mansion in high spirits. After a while, Gandaoren came back, followed by a captain, Gandaoren introduced: "This is the Chinese army engaged in Xinjiang, Prince Ruimang ordered him to come to see Shaoxia, but he needs arrows, arquebuses, saltpeter, and glycerin, just tell Lord Xin, prepare it immediately." ”
Xin Jiang stepped forward and bowed: "The villain sees Qin Shaoxia, the prince ordered, Shaoxia but there is a need, and the small one will go to prepare immediately." Qin Fei raised his hand and asked Xin Jiang to sit down, while discussing with Jiang Wuchang and Gandao the people about the materials he needed to carry, and then ordered Xin Jiang to prepare quickly. On the one hand, he ordered Er Niang to order three hundred elites, wait for dark to go out of the city, and kill the Shuangfengling Grain Platform of the Liao Army.
Everyone divided into preparations, in the blink of an eye the sky was already dark, Erniang had ordered three hundred light horsemen and so on in the small school field outside the Shuaifu, and another fifty Jiang Wuchang and Gandao people brought the Xixia Tiger Forbidden Army, each horse was burdened with fire-burning things, see that they were all ready to stop, Qin Fei, Duo'er, Erniang, Shen'er, Mo'er, Jiang Wuchang, Gandaoren and three hundred and fifty cavalry elite soldiers, went to the city gate.
Came to the city gate, the sky was dark, in order to prevent the Liao people from discovering, the soldiers did not dare to light the torches, after the city gate was quietly opened, everyone led the horses out of the city, and walked towards the north cliff wall against the city wall, until they walked out of more than ten miles, they turned over and got on the horse, slightly discerned the direction, scattered the war horses, and galloped towards the Shuangfeng Ridge.
This sneak attack is 200 miles round trip, and it is necessary to return before dawn to avoid inconvenience when entering the city. It was on the road that the people rode fast horses and whipped, and within two hours they arrived at the foot of the Shuangfeng Ridge Mountain, and saw the Liao army company camp at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and there was a bonfire burning in the company camp, because it was night, and no one was seen walking in the camp.
There were two tall arrow towers at the entrance of the camp, and there was a reddish fire reflected inside, but no human figures were seen. At the foot of the innermost mountain in the camp, there are several rows of tall grain hoards, but I don't know if there is grain and grass in them. Looking at the size of the entire camp, there should be more than 2,000 soldiers stationed here. With a wave of Qin Fei's hand, Jiang Wuchang and Gan Daoren pounced on the left and right arrow towers respectively, and fifty Tiger Ben Forbidden Army followed closely behind them, leaving Lian Yunfeng and the rest of the people and horses hidden in the distance.
Due to the cold weather, each arrow tower is actually only four Liao soldiers on duty, Rao is so, but also shrunk in the wooden wall of the arrow tower, baking the fire to keep warm, so from the outside, there is no human figure. The Liao soldiers on duty never dreamed that someone would sneak attack at this time, so they would not seriously patrol the movement around the camp on the arrow tower.
It wasn't until Jiang Wuchang and Gandao jumped into the arrow tower that the soldiers on duty reacted, but it was too late, and they had already returned to Huangquan in an instant. Jiang and Gan waved their hands down on the arrow tower, and fifty tiger soldiers hurriedly rushed forward, moved away from the deer and rejected the horse, and the two people on the tower jumped into the village and opened the gate of the wall.
Seeing the success ahead, Qin Fei waved his hand, three hundred iron horses, spread their horses and rushed to the gate of the Liao camp, and the Tiger Ben army also turned over and entered the camp together.
Hundreds of horsemen rushed into the Liao camp with torches high, the earth was shaken, the tiger army went straight to the grain hoard by the mountain, threw the fire-starting things they carried, and threw the torches in their hands on the grain hoard, and the horsemen of Yunfeng threw the torches in their hands to various tents of all sizes.
In an instant, the whole camp fell into a sea of fire, and the Liao soldiers in the tent did not have time to put on their armor, and fled out of the tent one after another, but they were cut down one by one by the elite cavalry who had been waiting outside the tent, and many Liao soldiers were directly trampled to death by horses, and there were still Liao soldiers in the sea of fire who ran around and shouted.
More than 300 elite cavalry rushed left and right in the camp, slashing back and forth, only a stick of incense, the Liao soldiers standing in the camp could no longer be seen, or were slashed and killed, or burned to death, or trampled to death by war horses, more than 2,000 Liao soldiers were caught off guard, and were annihilated in one fell swoop by the iron cavalry elite soldiers who rushed from afar.
