005 Sneak Attack
The so-called wounded barracks is an empty room on the east side of the Yokoyama Fortress. Some of the seriously wounded soldiers www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion were placed here at random.
Now the war on the front line is so tense, but everyone who can grit their teeth and hold on, and can still fight, is stationed on the fortress walls. Only those who are destined to be disabled, or who are no longer capable of fighting, will be put here. After letting the veteran use some medicine at will, he was resigned to fate.
In the military, everyone knows that once a soldier is disabled on the battlefield, the mortality rate is frighteningly high. In addition, now in the Hengshan Fortress, there is not a single serious military doctor. Those soldiers who are disabled have very little chance of surviving.
So when Lin Bufan came to this big room where the wounded soldiers were housed, he felt a desperate atmosphere in the room. Those injuries and illnesses were lying on the ground with blank faces, allowing a few veterans to treat themselves. From time to time, a few sounds and uncontrollable moans......
Wang Huanzhang drank a few more bowls of water, rested for about a quarter of an hour, and then put on his battle armor again, and under the protection of Qiu Chuji, he came to the fortress wall to inspect.
Since the Western Xia declared independence, the Great Song Dynasty began to build the Hengshan fortress group and build the Hengshan defense line to resist the Western Xia. The Hengshan Fortress is the top priority of the entire Hengshan defense line. Therefore, the generals who have been stationed in the Hengshan defense line will build the Hengshan fortress, and the emperors of the past dynasties have also strongly supported it.
Therefore, the current Yokoyama Fortress is like a small city. The walls were made of stone and were very strong. Moreover, a large number of stone stones, rolling wood, fire oil, gold juice and other equipment for defending the city were stored in the city. This is also the reason why Wang Huanzhang and they can still hold on for half a day in the face of an enemy ten times their size.
When Wang Huanzhang and Qiu Chuji came to the edge of the city wall, the soldiers were seizing the time to rest. When Wang Huanzhang walked around the city wall, his mood was extremely heavy. Although the walls of the Yokoyama fortress were strong, the city defense was very complete. But Wang Huanzhang knew that he couldn't keep it at all......
There are too few people......
It is said that there are 3,000 people, but now, soldiers who can still fight on the city walls. Not even half. You must know that the Hengshan Fortress was not originally garrisoned by Wang Huanzhang, but by Wanyan Hongjing and his 1,000 Praetorian Guards. But after the battle situation declined slightly, Wanyan Hongjing and the 1,000 Praetorian Guards ran away. When those soldiers saw that the commander had run away, where was the fighting spirit. They all ran along. The defeat was like a mountain......
At that time, when the defense line collapsed, Wang Huanzhang took his soldiers to forcibly break through the blockade of the Western Xia people and entered the Hengshan fortress as soon as possible. After that, they withstood several attacks by the Western Xia. There can be more than 1,000 people left, which is beyond Wang Huanzhang's expectations.
The Tangut people on the opposite side have tens of thousands of elites, and tens of thousands of people are really fighting, not the claimed...... Among them, there are also thousands of Western Xia "walking cripples".
Most importantly, the Tanguts had a wise commander. At that time, it was obvious that the strength on his side seemed to be the weakest, and Wang Huanzhang thought that his side would be attacked by the Xixia people. After all, the Jurchens' past brilliant records are very capable of bluffing. But to Wang Huanzhang's surprise, the Tangut people seemed to see the weak nature of the Jurchens. As soon as the war began, they attacked the Jurchen defense line with all their might. Soon a hole was torn open......
This kind of vision and courage is not something that everyone can have. It's easy to say, but Wang Huanzhang, who is also a commander, knows that it is really not easy to make such a decision......
Despite this, Wang Huanzhang has a reason why he must stick to it.
As the commander of the First Army, although Wang Huanzhang's heart is very heavy, he can't let his soldiers see his sad face.
So after he rubbed his cheeks, he asked in a loud voice to Qiu Chuji behind him, "Qiu Zhenren." Is that Lin Guan Master really a Taoist priest? Why do you call yourself a poor Taoist, but Lin Guan Lord calls yourself me?" Qiu Chuji, who was following behind Wang Huanzhang, was suddenly stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Wang Huanzhang would ask such a question.
But immediately he reacted. He said loudly: "We Taoist people, who call ourselves poor Taoists, have two meanings. One is to indicate that the cultivators are very poor. Claiming to be poor, he said that he was not afraid of poverty and dared to seek the Tao. It is used to strengthen one's Dao heart. The other is humility. He said that his Taoism was not profound enough, and his cultivation was very shallow......"
Wang Huanzhang laughed when he heard this: "I see, I understand." Lin Guan was born in a rich family, so he is naturally not poor, and the poor Taoist can naturally be omitted ......"
In the face of Wang Huanzhang's misinterpretation, Qiu Chuji did not argue, but laughed playfully. He knew that Wang Huanzhang was just stabilizing the morale of the army, and it didn't matter what he talked about, the important thing was to let the soldiers see the two of them laughing.
Sure enough, after those soldiers heard the sound of Wang Huanzhang and Qiu Chuji laughing, their hearts couldn't help but settle down......
ββββββββββ
Around midnight, I heard a terrible roar from the direction of the northern city wall: "Enemy attackββββββ enemy attackββββββ
The quiet night was shattered in an instant. Wang Huanzhang, who was lying in his room, got up with a bang. Under the protection of the mound and the machine, he went to the northern city wall to command the battle.
The soldiers on the eastern, western, and southern walls were also following the plan. After leaving a few people on guard, the rest rushed to the north. I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't help it...... There are too few people......
And the soldiers of the northern city wall have already fought with the Tanguts. At the very beginning of the battle, it was extremely fierce.
ββββββ
And just when the Tanguts attacked.
The four black shadows had already sneaked under the eastern city wall with the help of the night and the cover of the war in the north......
Tonight the sky is not good, and the moon appears and disappears. There were only a few soldiers on the eastern wall, looking north and absentmindedly patrolling back and forth.
The first person took out a flying claw from the burden behind. The so-called flying claw is a four-claw hook similar to the anchor used in the ship. For this night attack, the man also deliberately wrapped several layers of cotton cloth around the flying claws to ensure that after being thrown on the city wall, it would not make a sound.
The man, after a few rounds of the rope under the claw, threw it upward. After it landed on the city wall, he pulled hard, and when he found that there was no problem, he nodded to the three of them. After that, he grabbed the rope and was the first to climb up.
When he reached the city wall, he grabbed the rope and shook it vigorously a few times to show safety. The other three, after confirming that they were safe, climbed up one after another.
When the leader had collected his claws, he saw five patrolling soldiers approaching from a distance, one of whom was holding a torch in his hand.
The leader's brow furrowed, the wall was empty, and there was no place to hide. They will be exposed by the torches. Once those soldiers shouted, their sneak attack plan would have failed for the most part.
Of course, Li Zunxiang's order to them was to create chaos and cooperate with the Western Xia army outside to attack the city. It's too simple, as long as they stand in front of these soldiers, let them shout twice, and then sneak into the fortress, kill people and set fire......
But the old monk gave them another task, that is, to kill Wang Huanzhang. Wang Huanzhang blocked Xixia for two years in the Hengshan defense line, and was already regarded as a big problem by Xixia. In order to get rid of him, the Western Xia Emperor even sent Yipintang......
In this way, how to sneak to Wang Huanzhang's side unknowingly and kill with one blow is a problem that the leader has to consider.
So what is the leader really hot, he didn't hesitate to turn over and jump off the city wall. Holding the edge of the city wall with both hands, the whole person was suspended outside the city wall. The other three followed suit, clasping the edge of the wall with both hands, and their whole bodies hovering outside the wall. In this way, they were perfectly out of the sight of the five soldiers.
When the five soldiers had passed, the leader turned over with both hands, and he climbed into the city wall and came behind the five soldiers. He glanced at the other three subordinates, who had also turned over, and the four of them killed five of them almost at the same time. Then the leader still caught the torch after killing the two people.
And the five soldiers didn't even have a chance to shout.
The leader snapped the torches haphazardly behind the edge of the wall, and dragged the five corpses with the four of them to a shadow. After that, the leader pointed to the soldiers, and began to take off their night clothes.
I just wore a night suit just now so that I could safely climb the city wall and not be detected. But now they are going to the brightly lit north city wall to kill Wang Huanzhang, dressed like this, aren't they clearly telling those soldiers that we are villains!!
Because the battle on the north wall was fierce, there were even fewer people on the east wall. These five soldiers are responsible for patrolling this section of the city wall. So the chief is not worried, and someone else will come.
ββββββ
When the terrible shout sounded, the wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground and sleeping subconsciously wanted to stand up, and suddenly there was a miserable cry in the room......
Just as they began to change their clothes, Lin Bufan had just finished a rough examination of the wounded soldiers who had torn their wounds apart.
After that, he left the wounded barracks and prepared to protect Wang Huanzhang. In order to save time, Lin Bufan climbed the city wall directly from the east gate, preparing to follow the city wall all the way to the north city wall. If nothing else, Wang Huanzhang is definitely there.
When Lin Bufan stepped on the city wall, his nerves tensed, and he instinctively felt the danger...... (To be continued.) )
