478 Drums (continued)
It was dark now, and it was impossible for the Song army to send troops to attack the camp.
But the Song army did this and all the Xixia soldiers were disgusted.
"Damn it!"
"General, the Song army is just bluffing." Song Ji comforted.
Dudola said: "But the general should be careful. The people of the Song Dynasty had those shoes, and it seems that Dou Shunqing should not be underestimated. If we develop a relaxed heart, just like in the evening, we may suffer another loss. If we suffer repeated losses, our morale will gradually decline."
The war has just begun.
If morale is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But another general said flatteringly: "Not necessarily, I can see clearly today that the thousands of Song troops in the daytime are the best equipped, and they should be said to be the strongest army in Dashun City."
Everyone agrees with this.
It is unknown whether it is the strongest army, but it is definitely the best equipped army, whether it is armor, bows and crossbows, or knife lifting.
"They wanted to detour behind Dashun City and then enter the city. They had to walk ten miles away. The sky was dark again. The mountain road was covered with ice and snow. It was nearly ten miles away. They had to walk for several hours. After entering the city, they were exhausted. Losing this strongest army, our army suffered some losses, but tens of thousands of troops arrived. What did they use to attack the camp? General Du Duo had some sniffs. If this continued, there was no need to fight, and the soldiers lost their fighting spirit because they couldn't sleep well."
This seems to be a statement again.
Liang Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, send orders and strengthen the alert, and the remaining soldiers will not get up if they have no orders from my own. No matter how the Song people make trouble, they will not get up."
Sure enough, the Song army knocked for a while and saw that the Xia army camp was not moving, so they stopped.
Liang Yi's teeth were creaking and creaking, and he finally suppressed his anger and said, "In addition, I will send a scout to check in the direction where the thousands of Song troops were going tomorrow morning. See where they were."
Although Song Ji's words were reasonable, Liang Yimeng had to be careful and cautious after suffering several consecutive losses.
On the other side...
Gao Min had already walked a long way with the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Battalion. He stood on the top of a mountain and looked around with a telescope.
The mountains and fields were covered with snow, and the leaves fell all over the leaves, a bleak scene. Moreover, the sky was dark and the sob north wind was blowing. Gao Min couldn't help but shivered.
But this didn't matter. He continued to look around with his telescope, and suddenly a surprise appeared on his face.
People have not seen it, but small snowflakes floated in the sky. It is not rare to fall in the first month of Qingzhou, but this fall in snow is just the right time.
He walked down and said, "Instruction Yuan, please take your men and work hard to return to Dashun City."
Yuan ordered Gao Min to fight along the way, and it was also inexplicable. However, he ordered to go to the valley and knew that Wang Ju was coming. The dreamlike battles these two days were mostly related to Wang Ju's plan, just to keep it a secret, and he could not just tell his subordinates.
This time when he went out of the city to fight, Dou Shunqing repeatedly told him to obey Gao Min's command. Gao Min asked him to lead his men back, so let's go back.
"Be careful along the way, and would rather be slower than let the soldiers get into trouble." Gao Min reminded him again.
"Well, Gao Dujian, where are you going..." Instructor Yuan suddenly shut up. Can he ask?
However, it really has to work hard on the way. There is a rugged path in the south of Dashun City, which is the path where Li Liangzuo fled to his life. That path is not far away. However, it is close to the battlefield and Gao Min cannot kill it, so he rushed to the southwest.
But from here to the rear of Dashun City, as the Xixia general said, he had to walk ten miles away.
In fact, both sides are quite clear about the border matters. So Fan Zhongyan sent Zhao Ming to seize Houqiao Village and build Dashun City to "sneaky". Of course, Zhao Ming was also very successful. However, the court was not weak to Zhao Ming. When Zhao Ming died, the court continued to use Zhao Ming's second son. Needless to say, Zhao Yuqing, the general of the 16th Brigade was originally the deputy envoy of the Left Envoy of the Xijing Zuozangku, who served as the inspector of the Rouyuan Village. But now Wang Ju was transferred to Pingrong Town, which is not not not to use, but to have important arrangements. In short, most of the appointments and leadership positions of each general this time have special significance, such as Yao Lin in Anjiang Fort.
If it weren't Yao Lin, but Yan Da, could Anjiang Fort be "lost". For example, Lin Guang was in Dashun City, and Lin Guang made his fortune in Dashun City. In terms of familiarity with Dashun City, how many generals can match it.
Zhao Ming also has a son, Zhao Yude, who was originally inspector of the foreign troops in Dashun City, but Wang Ju was transferred to Qingzhou City. He also had his own functions, and Guo Qing, the commander of Huanqing Road, was not Wang Ju, who was not worthy of it, and Guo Qing also had the use of Guo Qing.
But before the truth is revealed, some cannot be disclosed, and some have not received accurate information, so Wang Ju is not inconvenient to say it.
But in the end, the mystery will eventually be revealed...
Gao Min didn't care, and everyone had it. He said: "In addition, you have some hard work on the road. Every step you take will make your subordinates step a few more steps."
"This is..." Instructor Yuan suddenly woke up and closed his mouth again. He understood that this would definitely be a hard work. When he returned to Dashun City, he didn't know how long it would take. However, if the Xixia scout came tomorrow, he would definitely think that the officers and soldiers of the seventh battalion would return to Dashun City. But he was even more curious, where would Gao Min lead his subordinates to the Sixth Battalion?
Gao Min watched the officers and soldiers of the battalion go away and gave another order: "Crossing Artemisia vermicelli."
This is a wild mountain, with many wild wormwood, now all withered. The soldiers broke one by one, followed Gao Min's command and integrated them into bundles. However, these soldiers were also puzzled and puzzled.
"Everyone, follow our family, but the soldiers behind us used artemisia to sweep away their footprints."
This time I finally understood that this was covering up the footprints they left on the snow. But they were not sure where they were going.
After walking for a while, the road became more and more remote, and I climbed a relatively steep mountain and came to a relatively remote valley.
"Stop." Gao Min said.
The three armies stopped, but Gao Min walked to a corner in front of the bend and looked for something on the ground.
He searched for a while and started to pluck the snow. This made many soldiers behind him very worried. At this time, more than 99% of the people were very superstitious. They left the city inexplicably and came to the place where birds didn't shit. Coupled with Gao Min's inexplicably actions, and this dark night with light snow, the night wind was like howling ghosts and wolves, and some people actually felt a little creepy.
But they don't have to worry about it for a long time.
After a while, Gao Min took out a black hole.
He let everyone come over with a move. He continued to let the people behind clean up their footprints and said, "Follow me."
As he said that, he lit a small branch of pine with his tongue of flame. He didn't dare to use a torch, and there was a slight light. He said that and then he got in.
Everyone had no choice but to let him go inside.
Then they were surprised to find that there was a tunnel inside that had been dug a long time ago, which was a bit deep, but not very large. After all, time was too tight, and they were afraid that they would be hit by the Xixia scouts. But they could barely let the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion squeeze in.
In addition, fresh water, dry food, charcoal, as well as some high-alcohol, gauze and medicinal materials for disinfection, as well as some warm bedding.
"Huh." They all felt very magical.
"The injured person immediately bandaged the wound." Gao Min said.
In the battle just now, not only some people died, but many people were also injured. If it weren't for the use of new styles of good armor, the casualty rate might have been higher.
This is a serious matter. Everyone cleaned the wound silently, applied ointment, and then bandaged it with gauze. More than a dozen soldiers were seriously injured. Gao Min said: "It is seventeen or eighteen miles away from Rouyuan Village. You will leave here before dawn tomorrow and go to Rouyuan Village immediately. The two soldiers were also injured on their legs. I will ask someone to make a simple stretcher immediately. You can help each other and carry them back. When you arrive at Rouyuan Village, you will immediately return to Qingzhou City and report the situation to Judge Zhang Tong. Can you do it?"
"Yes," answered a dozen people.
"Also, everything here, except Judge Zhang Tong, must not be disclosed to anyone."
"Here."
"Everyone, now I will reveal the truth to everyone, but everyone must not disclose it."
"Here."
"You guys light up the charcoal first and get some warmth."
Dozens of soldiers went to light the charcoal, and Gao Min asked someone to block the hole again, but in order to get airflow, there was an air vent on the other side, which was more hidden. As for the tunnel, there was also wooden boards covered with thatch, and mud was covered with dead branches and leaves and snow. There was no need to explain this Gao Min.
Gao Min continued: "I'll reveal one news first. Many of you came from Zheng Baiqu, and they were also led by Prince An Minggong."
"Yeah yeah."
"But whether Wang Minggong came to Qingzhou or not is to come to Qingzhou. What official position will he hold? You are guessing these days."
"Yes, yes," a few brave soldiers laughed.
"Now our family tells you that Ming Gong was the governor of Qingzhou, and he also served as the position of Shaanxi Punishment and Recruitment of Huanqing Road Manager."
"Ah, ah." Many people were surprised, but some people asked strangely: "Then why did Ming Gong return to Ningzhou?"
"The Western Cong was afraid of Duke Ming. If he knew that Duke Ming came to Qingzhou, he had to be strictly guarded, which would be unfavorable for the battle. Therefore, Duke Ming's business deliberately kept it confidential, and actually he completed the handover with Duke Li a few days ago. Although Duke Ming is not in Qingzhou for the time being, everything has been explained. Including the battles in the past two days, it is Ming's idea."
"No wonder, no wonder this is so..." Many soldiers opened their mouths wide. The battles in the past two days have been so magical. It turned out to be Wang Ju's plan.
Gao Min didn't know whether to cry or be happy. These people admired Wang Ju so much, and they admired him to the point of superstition. It was precisely because of this that he revealed the truth in advance, otherwise he would be stuck in this tunnel and would not know how long it would take for the soldiers to be very nervous.
"In fact, our family led you to Dashun City, not to participate in the battle in Dashun City. You have also known these two days. Except for the battle this evening, Dou Gong is giving you rest. Our real task is below."
"Is this also arranged by Ming Gong?" a soldier asked.
"Well, it's his arrangement. We have two tasks below. In order to complete this task, we must temporarily become a disappearing army."
"The disappearing army?"
"It is to make the people of Xixia never imagined that our army would exist. Therefore, we went to Dashun City first, and Ming Gong had calculated that under his plan, the enemy in order to boost morale, would have to attack the water camp. As long as they attacked the water camp, we would be confused by beating the drums many times, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness, we could break out from Dashun City. Then let the commander Yuan take the officers and soldiers of the battalion back to Dashun City, which created an illusion, which made the enemy think that we were also back to Dashun City. Do you understand this?"
Why did you leave the city? It was not only to continue to consume the morale of the Xia people, but it was very secondary, mainly to "disappear"!
"What do we do next?"
"What will we do next? We will notify you at that time."
Everyone understood this and everyone started to organize their bedding and rest.
But the people on the other side did not sleep well.
It was night, but the Song army hated that they beat the drum every half hour, and there were several times when thousands of soldiers and horses crossed the water and continued to attack.
At the beginning, Liang Yimeng couldn't help but look out. At the end, he became more and more angry when he saw it. He had not had a good sleep for two days and two nights. So after giving a few instructions, he fell asleep in a daze, no matter the sound of drums outside it was shocking.
Before we knew it, it was the fourth hour.
The Song army beat the drum again, and thousands of soldiers and horses clumsily passed by the water. This time, even the Xia Bing, who was patrolling and guarding, didn't care much. At most, the sentry with a bad temper cursed a few words.
But they were a little far apart because of the "ice field", and did not notice that the soldiers were holding two long wooden sticks in their hands, and there was a rope on the handle of the stick, tied under the armor. At this time, thousands of Song soldiers placed the wooden sticks on the ice with both hands and lowered their waists.
As the drum sound changed, the people of Xixia did not pay attention to it. However, as the drum sound changed, thousands of people held sliding sticks and stomped on simple skis, and rushed towards the Xia army camp like arrows.
When some sentries reacted, they had already slid in front of the Xia army camp. Some Xia soldiers even thought that they were blurred in their eyes, so how could they be so fast? This is not the speed of human beings, it is the god, the ghost, and the monster!
However, some sentries reacted and shouted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack." While running and notifying Liang Yi to bury it.
However, at this time, almost everyone was sleeping soundly, and the whole camp snored like thunder. How could they be woken up? Even after the troubles last night, they thought it was the sentry that was fussing, and they were unwilling to get up and continued to lie on the bed in a daze.
Thousands of Song soldiers stopped, without the Divine Arm Bow, and what they required was speed.
So they are all black paint bows.
Take a bow and get an arrow, and all the arrows are rockets.
Rockets shot towards a tent. While shooting, they moved. The tent was originally flammable. At this time, it was colder. There were many grass shops in the tent. The soldiers were wearing animal skins and covered with felt blankets. Well, they were all things that could easily burn. What was even more fatal was that because of too many troops in Xixia, one tent was connected to a tent... (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
