Chapter 22 Night Attack
There are about 100 old bandits in Dahong Mountain, and the terrain of this mountain village is dangerous. If a strong attack is adopted, Li Laoer will inevitably lose his troops and generals, so he adopts a sneak attack.
Li Laoer said to Li Hong: "I personally brought eleven old brothers to steal the camp at night. You brought two hundred new brothers to wait for me under the clerk. When you see my fireworks and rocket signal, you will succeed. You will immediately bring someone to help."
The eleven old brothers who were preparing to steal the camp were all old horse thieves who had followed Li Lao Er's father for many years. These old men have been thieves for many years. They have followed Li Lao Er across the grassland and Yinshan for many years. They eat delicious food and drink spicy food, eat a lot of beef and mutton, and beef and mutton contain sufficient vitamin A and have good vision. However, the two hundred new brothers were originally all muslims, so naturally they couldn't eat anything good. It was not long since they came to Li Lao Er's place. Li Lao Er recruited a thousand muslims and could not provide them with much meat, so most of these new recruits had night blindness.
In order to lightly attack at night, Li Lao Er and the eleven old brothers did not wear exquisite iron-inserted cotton armor, but simply put on a single cotton armor. Whether it was the exquisite iron-inserted cotton armor or ordinary cotton-flake cotton armor, they were all seized from the Jurchens. Before, Li Lao Er had also taken his brothers to the Korqin tribe for a long distance, killed some Mongolians and single Jurchens, and seized a batch of cotton armor and weapons.
Currently, Li Laoer is very similar to a famous army in later generations. His equipment is almost entirely based on seizure. The real one is to start with a horse, and the equipment is entirely based on fighting.
Before this attack, Li Laoer had already sent Zhang Wei, who was responsible for the task of not taking charge at night, to figure out all the roads leading to Dahongshan Mountain Village, and to figure out that there was a small road behind the mountain to reach the bottom of the cliff, but if you went up, you had no way to go, so you could only climb the cliff and climb up the mountain.
A total of twelve people, including Li Laoer, led by Zhang Wei's Ye Bushou, he followed a very secret mountain road to the back mountain of Zuntianhou Mountain Village.
After climbing for a while, Zhang Wei took Li Laoer and others to the back mountain and arrived at a cliff, where there was no way to go.
Li Laoer and Zhang Wei each carried a rope with claw hooks. After reaching the bottom of the cliff, Li Laoer stood at the foot of the mountain for a moment. With the help of the moonlight, he saw clearly a small tree bulging out from outside on the hillside, so he aimed at the tree and threw the claw hook.
The claw hook was hanging steadily on the tree. Li Lao Er pulled the rope and grabbed it steadily. He led the way, the first to pull the rope and climbed up.
Although it was still September (lunar calendar), it was already very cold north of Yinshan Mountain. While Li Lao Er was climbing, a night wind blew over his face. Li Lao Er felt his whole body tremble, and the cotton armor on his body seemed to be unable to resist such coldness. But after all, he had been preparing for eight years. Since he came to this world eight years ago, he began to practice martial arts and exercise his body, just to change the upcoming dark age.
Li Laoer climbed halfway up the mountain and stood firm on the raised stone. He took off the claw hook and looked up again. He found that there was a raised stone near the top of the mountain. So he threw the claw hook up again, then climbed again, and soon climbed up the cliff.
After climbing to the top of the cliff, Li Laoer untied his claw hook, tied the rope to a tree on the edge of the cliff, pulled it down, confirming that the rope was tied strongly, and then threw the rope off the mountain.
Zhang Wei, behind, climbed up one by one with ten brothers. After about a stick of incense, Zhang Wei and four brothers climbed to the top of the cliff in turn. There were seven brothers behind him who had not yet come up, and they were still pulling ropes on the hillside and climbing up slowly with great effort.
Li Laoer hid in the dark with Zhang Wei and four brothers who came up first.
"Someone is out!" Li Laoer told Zhang Wei and others in sign language. This sign language was some simple sign language he learned when he was in the army in his previous life, but now it just came in handy.
Everyone lowered their heads. With their keen vision, Li Lao Er found that a horse thief walked out of the wooden house where he lived, as if he was about to relieve his hand. So Li Lao Er put a ring on his right thumb, drew the arrow, and pointed it at the horse thief. The thumb that was putting the ring on the ring was loosened, and the bow string made a slight trembling sound. A heavy arrow, one or two, two heavy arrows shot out with a "whisper" and pierced it from the left neck of the horse thief. The sharp arrow pierced through the carotid artery, the trachea, cut off the vocal cords, penetrated the spine, and then came out from the right neck, nailing the horse thief to a tree.
The horse thief subconsciously covered his neck with his hands, opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout it out at all. He was nailed to death on the tree.
Li Lao Er ran away almost silently like an agile snow leopard. He carried the bow and arrow on his back, took out a sharp short knife, and gently pushed open the door of the house. He heard snoring in the house. Four horse thieves were lying on the kang, sleeping like dead pigs. Li Lao Er walked to the kang with his hands, and the short knife in his hand cut through the neck of a horse thief and slashed his carotid artery with one knife. The horse thief didn't even hum, and went to see the King of Hell in his sleep. Then, Li Lao Er raised his sword and slashed one by one. None of the four horse thieves in the house made a sound, and all of them had their carotid artery cut in their sleep.
Zhang Wei and four brothers also walked up. They touched into another wooden house and ended up with five horse thieves in the wooden house. At the same time, the seven brothers behind also climbed to the top of the cliff.
Li Lao Er walked out of the house and saw the seven brothers behind him following him, so he made a gesture to tell them: "I'll go to the room on the right to kill people, and you seven will go to the room in that big room to kill people."
The seven brothers entered the big room on the left. Twelve horse thieves were sleeping on the kang in the big room. The seven men held sharp blades and started killing in the house, but accidentally made a sound.
"Ah!" A horse thief who was stabbed into his heart by a knife screamed, and his scream echoed in the night sky, which was particularly terrifying. The shout woke several bandits up.
Li Lao Er had already defeated the three bandits in the small room on the right, and there was the last one left. At this time, he heard a scream outside, followed by a noise. However, the bandit was sleeping very hard and was not awakened by the sound outside. Li Lao Er simply took a knife and slashed the bandit's head with one knife. After the bandits in the room, Li Lao Er immediately walked out of the house, took out a firework rocket from his waist, took out a firewood from the bonfire, and lit the rocket.
"Bang" fireworks exploded in the air.
After launching the fireworks and rockets, Li Laoer decisively shot arrows, shooting one by one, and shot two horse thieves standing on the two towers behind the village gate.
Seeing this, Li Hong, who had been guarding outside the village, immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers! Come on!"
More than 200 newcomers held wooden shields and wooden spears, shouting and rushed towards the village gate. More than ten newcomers who rushed in the front carried a thick log and hit the village gate hard. After only more than ten hits, the village gate opened with a bang.
