Chapter 298: Start in advance, no way
The big yak and Obama led the two brothers, the "horse thief", to the downstream of the stone bridge for five or six miles before going down to the river, where the river is not wide, no one is cold, but the current is fast, and the four of them were washed out of the river more than a mile before swimming to the other side.

Obama had already probed the camp once, and was familiar with the way, and with him leading them, the four of them took advantage of the cover of the long grass to avoid the open posts and secret posts of the black cavalry, and climbed through the trenches to find a graveyard of graves, which was an abandoned cemetery, with arched mounds and fox and rabbit dens.
"The lights were lit in the Black Cavalry barracks after a while, and they were best observed here. Obama sat up against a leaning tombstone.
"Let's go to the woods over there. "The big yak has no interest in the barracks at all, which is a bit unexpected by Lao Ou.
The sky was beautiful, the moon was hiding in the thick clouds, and it refused to come out in shame, and it was dark all around. The four of them trotted all the way to the small col.
"Okay, this place is good!" the big yak walked around the woods, "I don't think it's a problem to hide two or three thousand people here, right?"
It dawned on Obama that the Great Yak was going to ambush the next surprise soldier here, and it would be possible to cross the hill and enter the Black Cavalry camp with a single charge. The problem is that about two miles from the grove, there is a row of caves under the hillside, and judging by the lights, there are at least fifty or sixty families living here.
"General Niu, this village is called Satomi, there were originally more than 200 people, all of whom were killed by the black cavalry, and now the slaves of the black cavalry live in the cave. Seeing General Niu staring at the village in a daze, Rice came over to explain.
"Lao Ou, you take their brothers back to the camp quickly, pick two battalions of brothers to cross the river while it is dark, be very careful on the road, and wrap the horses' hooves in cloth. Don't leave a mark on the grass......"
In the middle of the night, the restless yak finally waited for the rice to bring more than 100 people...... When the first pheasant crows came from the woods, about 1,500 people came, but fortunately a thick fog rose, and Obama led the last 500 or so into the woods.
There were so many horsemen in the woods at once, and there were people sitting everywhere on the ground, "From now on, no one is allowed to make a sound, just lie down for me, and even if the fire burns your ass, nail me there without moving." ”
"Lao Ou, you lead a few people to guard the entrance of the forest, and if someone in the village breaks in, they will quietly do it for me. I'm going to go back to the other side of the river to set it up, and you keep an eye on the stone bridge, and if there is flint smoke, you lead them to rush me hard. After the big yak gave some orders, he disappeared into the morning mist alone.
On the first day of the ambush, the sun was shining, the forest was as hot as ever, and I saw that there were herdsmen driving dozens of breeding sheep in and out of the village from time to time, as usual. The big yak finally felt a little at ease. According to General Tang's arrangement, the army could arrive at Dashiqiao no later than evening.
After the anxious morning, at the end of the day, the river is much shallower, revealing the bridge deck, Mo Leopard they only found out at this time, the so-called stone bridge, in fact, is four natural big rocks put together, the top is like artificially carved in general, there are three huge △-shaped gaps between the rocks, the river gushes out from the middle, when the water rises, the river overflows the rocks, quietly, now the water level drops, the roar of the river is also clearly heard in the dense forest.
"God bless Lao Ou and they will not be discovered by the crow people, and General Tang will come up with a large army as soon as possible. ”
The big yak prayed in his heart countless times...... In the afternoon, the situation on the other side of the river changed abruptly, and the patrolling soldiers kept patrolling along the riverbank, and there were no cattle or sheep on the grass, and it seemed that the large-scale action of the heavenly court had leaked the news, and the black cavalry had already noticed it, and built a semi-arc stone wall along the bridgehead.
"What should I do?" the big yak almost scratched his scalp.
A dozen or so black horsemen crossed the bridge, and with a wave of their hand, the big yak retreated into the depths of the jungle.
"Lay down your arms ——!"
The dozen or so black cavalry never expected that there were so many heavily armed Heavenly Court officers and soldiers in ambush in the dense forest, and all the weapons in their hands were thrown on the ground, and several personal guards of the big yak rushed up and slashed ......
It seems that it can only attack, and as soon as these dozen or so black cavalry disappear, the other side will be more alert. The big yak sent a scout to report to Tang Linkun, and after asking for reinforcements, he led more than 5,000 men and horses from his headquarters to quietly approach the stone bridge.
"Prepare to attack!"
At that time, Lao Ou, who was lying in ambush in the woods, was also discovered by the black cavalry, because several small slaves chased the horses that were grazing the tender grass all the way into the woods, and were strangled to death by several ruthless soldiers. After more than an hour, several female slaves who called the children to go home for dinner also went into the woods to look for the children, and were wiped by the soldiers, and then a few men led a patrol of soldiers to find Lao Ou and them, and the two sides quickly became a mess, and the frightened herdsmen shouted and ran all over the grass. More black cavalry surrounded him, and Lao Ou's 2,000 horsemen fought and retreated, and they were about to be driven into the Mochou River.
"Kill ——!"
The big yak rushed out of the jungle in the first place, and crossed the big stone bridge in a few steps, the few soldiers at the head of the bridge were quickly defeated, and most of the slaves who built the blocking wall were killed before they came to their senses, and the watchtower of the black cavalry by the river sounded the horn of warning, and the wooden watchtower was cut down by the Heavenly Court Army in the blink of an eye, and the sentries who were smashed into meat pies were chopped into meat sauce.
The black cavalry, who was besieging the two battalions of Obama, saw that the big stone bridge was lost, and they couldn't figure out how many Heavenly Court soldiers had come, and quickly retreated to the barracks. Obama and the remaining fifteen or six hundred men also joined the big yak at the bridge.
"The cattle pioneer officer, was discovered by the black cavalry, and had no choice but to do it in advance. ”
Obama was covered in blood, and it seemed that the fight must have been fierce.
"Leaning against the stone wall, the archers entered the defensive position. The big yak shouted.
Lao Oudu didn't have time to drink saliva in the river, and the door of the black cavalry barracks was wide open, and first a battalion of rattan shield soldiers came out, followed by two battalions of crossbowmen, then three battalions of long-haired soldiers and three battalions of short axe soldiers, and finally a battalion of light cavalry, slowly approaching the bridgehead......
The big yak knew that he had encountered a strong opponent today, and in the case of a surprise attack, not to mention anything else, he was able to go out of the camp in such a short period of time to meet the battle, which is enough to show that the training level of this black cavalry is very high, and it is not what Lao Ou said, it is composed of a defeated army with low morale.
"No arrows are to be released without my orders. "The big yak knows that his large army does not know when it will arrive, and each archer only has a mere sixty arrows in his quiver bag, so it is not okay to use them sparingly.
"I'm the vanguard officer of the Heavenly Court Army, and I'll ask your General Jin to come out and speak——!" The big yak jumped on the low stone wall, and it was good to be able to drag a pillar of incense for a while.
A rain of arrows came overwhelmingly, it seems that this golden lock general is very shrewd, he has crossed the stone bridge, and he has to talk to you Niu Xianxian, if you want to chat, then you must be driven back to the other side of the stone bridge before talking.
The big yak jumped off the stone wall in embarrassment, and the "crossbowmen are ready to ——!" (to be continued. )
