Chapter 57: The camel's neck is ambushed
After about three more hours, it was almost noon when the second tiger finally ran to the camel's neck. Ordering everyone to dismount, he counted the number of people, and none of the 300 brothers who came out with him were left behind, they fought in the camp tents of the officers and soldiers for half the night, and the horses trampled on countless companies and camps of the officers and soldiers, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and how many enemies were trampled to death, but there were no casualties, only a dozen brothers hung up the lottery and were slightly injured, which is really an unprecedented miracle!
When the second tiger saw that the brothers were almost intact, he said very happily: "Brothers, there is a magical camel's neck in front of you, let's have a good time with them here, and bury their 30,000 horses here!"
One of the brothers said, "Chief Zheng, we all listen to you, so give orders!"
Another brother said, "I am looking forward to this day!"
"Okay, let's break it up now, divide it into ten squads, each with thirty people, play hide and seek with them, and seize the opportunity to destroy the enemy. As he spoke, Erhu selected ten detachment leaders, drew a topographical map of the camel's neck on the ground, and asked the ten leaders to surround him, and he arranged troops on the ground to teach everyone how to play hide and seek with the officers and soldiers...... Everyone kept nodding, secretly happy in their hearts, and held back a momentum to kill the enemy.
At this time, one of the brothers who was in charge of the guard came and reported that the officers and soldiers were coming after him.
Erhu immediately ordered: "Okay, they came just in time, everyone will immediately split up and take their places." ”
"Yes!" everyone agreed, and quickly went their separate ways.
Hong Xuefei and Erhu were in a squad, and they led the horses. Walk along a blister around the camel's neck to the front.
At this time, it is the season of summer when the vegetation grows wildly. Along the way, they walked through knee-deep grass. Crossing sandbags, passing through grass puddles, and wading through streams...... I don't know how many birds were frightened and how many hares were scared away!
The team led by the second tiger walked for several hours before they reached the designated position. They hid their horses in the woods in an open field behind them, and when they ran out of bullets, they had to prepare some bows and crossbows and all the meticulous and detailed work, and then quickly laid an ambush. Wait for the ambush of officers and soldiers.
It's a very special and magical place. Nearby, there are two large sandbags that echo each other, less than half a mile apart, almost as large as they are. It's like two plump nipples. On one side of the sandbag is a large blister, on the other side is a thorny field, and in front of it is a chivalrous grass, which is the direction from which the two tigers came. It's like the mouth of a bottle. More like an elongated camel's neck. Behind is an open field. It is also the retreat of the two tigers after their ambush.
If you are not familiar with the camel's neck, you will not be able to get in and out, and there are many streams in it, and the water is so poisonous that people and horses cannot drink it, and where you go in, you will sink into it, and where you will be full of thorns, and if you go in, you will puncture your shoes...... The two tigers are all well aware of these situations.
Because since the second tiger strayed into the camel's neck that time, he had been under the guidance of Xiao Jianxia and those brothers who were familiar with the terrain of Yuping Mountain. It took three days to conduct a detailed survey and careful study of the terrain here, and also drew a topographic map.
The second tiger saw that the officers and soldiers had not arrived. So he let the brothers eat some of the things they had brought with them, and they had a good rest and prepared for battle.
Just after noon, a large army of officers and soldiers chased after them in a mighty manner. When Erhu saw it, there were about 5,000 officers and soldiers walking towards the ambush site.
He was secretly happy in his heart, waved his hand back, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers are here, pay attention to concealment, take their places, and prepare for battle!"
Everyone nodded silently, and when those officers and soldiers approached, some of the brothers not only had their hearts beating, because there were too many enemy soldiers, and they couldn't count them, so they were worried that their team of only forty people was simply hitting stones with eggs, and they couldn't beat others.
Erhu had already discovered the tendency and signs of embarrassment among the brothers, so he turned around and said, "Brothers, don't be afraid, we occupy a favorable terrain, and in the dark, we still have a way to retreat behind, and if we can't win, we will run." ”
After listening to his words, everyone's mood calmed down a little. At this time, the vanguard of the officers and soldiers had already arrived in the ambush circle of the rebel army......
Most of those officers and soldiers had been mobilized from the south and northwest to suppress the bandits, and they had never seen such a mysterious and magical place, only to see the blisters one after another, connected into a vast body of water, like a huge piece of silver inlaid on the jasper.
Look at the magical water surface, beautiful water birds are flapping their wings and flying low, wild water ducks are chasing and playing in pairs, and above the two banks, red flowers are clustered, yellow flowers are in patches, and the shore is dyed, and it is like a fire lit on the sleeping wasteland, and a piece of gold is lit.
On the sparse prairie, the grass is tall and unmanned, the trees are luxuriant, some are forested, and some are sparsely dotted on the green grassland full of all kinds of wild flowers......
Sandbags and ravines of different sizes, heights and sizes make up the complex and varied terrain here. There are also the frightened pheasants, the jumping hares and yellow sheep, and the galloping wild foxes and steppe wolves...... All this made those officers and men dizzy and confused.
Just when they were intoxicated by this wonderful and strange nature, they never thought that those wonderful scenery would hide a terrifying killing machine in their hearts!
As soon as the two tigers gave the order, the bows and crossbows in the hands of the brothers fired rows of sharp arrows! More than 20 soldiers who walked in front fell in a pool of blood......
A general in the official army flashed out from the crowd behind, was surprised, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to hide, but this is just like the oblique place of a camel's neck, there is almost nothing to hide, one side is water, one side is thorny ground, one side is sandbags, and the other side is the neck entrance of the open land, but the rebels guarded this entrance, so the officers and soldiers all became live targets, and countless officers and soldiers were killed and wounded in an instant......
The rebel brethren saw that this place was indeed good, and they could strike at the enemy at will, but the enemy could not hit themselves. Seeing that so many officers and soldiers had been killed, all of them were energetic, red-eyed, and happy, so they became more and more courageous the more they fought, and the officers and soldiers were defeated......
At this time, the officers and soldiers all lay on the grass and hid. Then another general came from behind the officers and soldiers, and he and one of the generals here were in a hidden place, comparing and studying what tactics they were.
They didn't speak loudly, and others couldn't hear it, but Erhu could hear it clearly. He was suddenly startled when he heard this, stood up angrily, and Hong Xuefei, who was beside him, pressed him down and said, "You lie down!
Then, a bullet flew over the scalp of the second tiger with a "whoosh".
But he didn't care, but said to Hong Xuefei: "Madam, do you know Hu Banbian, the big boss of Dongshan sheepskin dreadlocks?"
"Hu Banbian, I know, what's wrong?"
"Look this way, do you see that general in the official army is he?"
"Oh, it's him, it's really that Hu Banbian! Why did he become an official?"
"It must have been co-opted by Liu Ziwen, just now I heard him studying the military situation with that thin general, and I heard that man mention Hu Banbian's name. That kid has always hooked up with Liu Ziwen...... Ha ha...... God has eyes, I'm going to avenge my dad today!" (To be continued......)
