Chapter 189 Raiders
The dark night in winter always comes very early, and the Sanggan River Bay is already shrouded in the shadow of the valley. Both sides stopped each other and retreated back to the camp. There were only countless cold corpses and lost bodies left on the battlefield that had been noisy for a day.
The master's war horse roared in the empty river bend.
'Dongdong' The drum sounded in the third update, and Han Ling was awakened. He moved his body and opened his eyes to reveal his head from his sleeping bag. His eyes were dark, and his ears were filled with howling wind, "Brothers, get up, it's time to
Go out for a tour!" Han Ling crawled out of his sleeping bag and shivered. Although he was sleeping in a thick felt tent, he still couldn't stop the omnipresent wind, and the tent was even cold like an ice cellar.
"Hurry, hurry, don't be lazy!" Han Ling crawled out of the sleeping bag, and while putting on his clothes, shouting his subordinates who were reluctant to get up. They belonged to the scout team of the Third Brigade of the Kru Army, and Han Ling was
The second team is in charge of two more than 20 brothers. They will take over the second team to patrol outside the village. The night patrol is to monitor the changes in the enemy camp to see if the troops are increased or retreating at night; the second is to
Prevent enemy troops from night attacks.
"The feces and urine are solved in advance, otherwise don't blame me for the frozen penis!" Han Ling put on his hairy socks before putting on the felt boots baked by the fire cage, and was still reminding those who had just crawled out of the sleeping bag to sleep.
The enchanting subordinates, the enemy they faced was not only the vicious Jurchens, but also the cold weather. If you accidentally cause frostbite, you will not kill your life, but you have few fingers and ears.
It's also a very annoying thing.
Han Ling never tires about this and that, and check whether their weapons and equipment are ready to stop. His nagging spirit gives people the feeling that he meets his mother, but there is a pin on his breastplate that represents gram
The Golden Roaring Lion Medal, the highest honor of the Barbarian Army. Now the entire army can’t use up a hand and count it, but no one who can wear it has rolled in the blood several times.
The hero crawling out.
The scouts of the Clan quickly put on their clothes and set off in order, and the baggage team had prepared a day of dry food and a small pot of wine for them. During the war, the army was banned from drinking.
This wine is a special care for their scouts. When everyone prepares horses and leads them out of the camp, there is no emergency military situation in the camp, so as not to cause commotion.
The wind seemed to be stronger when the horse was blowing, making the people on the horse shaking. It seemed that they would be blown into the sky like a kite at any time. Tonight, as the beginning of the month, only the faint starlight shone brightly for them, but thousands of times
Don't take the gloomy light that flashes from time to time and falls to the ground as stars in the sky. The eyes of wild beasts are reflecting. The corpses left on the battlefield during the daytime fighting attract the wolves. In the winter when food is lacking, the corpses of those people and horses
It's like a feast for them.
The scouts walked away from the battlefield from afar. They didn't want to or dare to provoke the wolves, and they could only choose to avoid it, but it did not prevent the wind from roaring the beasts for "food" and howling the howlings they greeted their companions.
The scattering sound of biting the corpse came into their ears...
It was a chore to go out at night, but the scouts seemed to have gotten used to it. The eleven teams were walking in a scattered manner, and only a vague back was seen between each other. They didn't talk to each other. The focus of the scouts' patrol was on the two mountain passes, regardless of whether it was a vague person.
Whether the Jin army had to increase its troops or wanted to retreat, they had to pass here. The closer they got to the mountain pass, the slower they walked. The guns were all in their hands and the bullets were loaded. They would shoot without hesitation when they found abnormal situations.
Seeing that the battle between the two sides had just begun today, the battle between the scouts of the two armies began a few days ago. In order to grasp the situation of the other party, both sides will send scouts to reconnaise the situation of the opponent, and in order to ensure that their whereabouts and situations are caused by the opponent.
If you have mastered it, this side will also send scouts to clear out enemy scouts who have sneaked near their camps and on the marching route.
So when they were patrolling at night, the Jurchen scouts would not be idle either. Maybe in the grass, there were hidden places in the cracks of the rocks, staring at them, and cold arrows would be shot in the dark and a lasso would fly out. Once the two sides met, they would be sure that
It was a life-and-death battle. The route I took today was their fixed route, and it had been targeted by the Jin spies. Last night, the scouts on both sides fought, and the Wu gang of the third team killed and injured five brothers.
"Drop off!" Han Ling said softly when he was more than 500 steps away from the mouth of the Baoping.
"Head, what's wrong?" Several people jumped off their horses without hesitation and gathered together. They were convinced from Han Ling and the others. He could always feel the danger before others!
"Big Head, listen to the sound of horses passing by?" Han Ling said to a moustache man. He had a huge head, but he still had two sensitive and good ears.
Datou listened, except for the sound of the wind, there seemed to be nothing that could cause suspicion, but he knew that the captain would not let everyone stop and listen to the sound of the wind for no reason. Datou walked forward two steps and found a flat place to lie down.
He pressed his right ear to the ground, and everyone else stayed there holding his breath, fearing that his breathing would disturb Big Head.
"Boss, I can't hear the Qing Dynasty, but there are indeed a large group of horses passing by. They should have wrapped their horses and led their horses slowly. Do they want to attack the camp?" After a while, Datou stood up and said softly.
"That's it. I smelled the horse's slut, but the wind was too strong. I didn't dare to determine whether there were horse teams passing by nearby. Since you heard it, you shouldn't be wrong!" Han Ling said.
"Boss, then will we go back to the camp to report?" asked Clerk C, Cao Dongchen.
"Lie about military information is a serious crime. The situation is still unclear. We have to lose our heads when we give back without authorization and cause chaos!" Han Ling shook his head. Although he found signs of the movement of the Jin army, he did not know their purpose. Once the reward was made, the entire army would be on guard.
But in the end, nothing happened. I was embarrassed and I was not able to do anything. "Leave two people to wait here, and I immediately returned to the camp to report when I saw our signal. Others came forward to check what the Jurchens were playing!
”
"Three tigers, six monkeys, you two stay here to watch over the horses. If you find that the situation is wrong, don't wait for us to report immediately!" Cao Dongchen turned around and told the two, since there was a large group of people acting, there must be their scouts moving around around them.
, then the enemy may be discovered and unable to escape.
"The remaining people are divided into three groups to keep a distance. Try not to take action when encountering the Jin army scouts, and make it the key to find out the enemy's actions!" Han Ling said.
Han Ling took three people to the center, Cao Dongchen led a group to explore the way, and the group behind him served as a supporter. Nine people abandoned their horses and walked forward. After walking for a hundred steps, they found that the Jin army scouts appeared. The more they went forward, the more scouts the enemy.
, that is, they would have been discovered because it was dark, but they had not found any traces of the enemy's large troop. Han Ling made a quick decision and ordered the others to retreat, and he only took Datou and the other two to investigate...
After avoiding the inspection of the Jin army scouts and setting up a dark whistle, Han Ling and Datou took nearly an hour to complete the rest of the road. Although it was cold and dripping into ice, their clothes were soaked in sweat.
The situation I saw was a bit strange.
Because the Second Brigade is stationed in Yingzhou, the surrounding terrain is clear at the heart of Hanling. Baopingkou seems to be an exit, but inside it is a ridge and two waters. One road is the Sanggan River Valley Road where the Jin army headed south.
Another is a tributary of a small river that only has water during the rainy season. The exit seems wide, but it gradually narrows after less than ten miles of upstream. Even a single horse is difficult to travel. The locals call it "Ghost Sight"
Sorry'. But the Jin army entered this valley, which was puzzled.
In order to figure out the mystery, Han Ling decided to follow up and investigate further. The two of them walked along Shanyin to avoid the Jin army's scouts and went up the mountain. When they went up to the top of the mountain panting, they looked into the valley, but the bottom of the valley was lit in front of them.
There were bonfires everywhere. The Jin army entering the valley did not continue to move forward but stayed here. It was not discovered because the fire was blocked by the mountains.
"What do the Jurchens want to do?" Han Ling took a rough count. At least two thousand people were ambushed in the valley. If it was to explore the way, there was no need to send so many people, and they chose to be at night! If they wanted to
It was necessary to attack the camp, but after crossing the mountains and crossing the mountains, they were still a distance away from their camp, and there was a beach without any obstruction and could be discovered soon, and the effect of a surprise attack was not achieved at all. Han Ling was confused.
"Boss, it's going to be dawn, it's going to be difficult for us not to leave!" Big Head looked up at the sky. Qi Mingxing had already revealed his face and was about to be dawn, he reminded softly.
"Okay, let's retreat!" Han Ling couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't want to break himself here.
The two of them moved down carefully and returned to the agreed meeting point. Only Sanhu was still waiting there, "Boss, why did you come back? The troupe waited for you to go back to the camp order before you could go back to the camp. Let me wait for you.
When I came back, it was dawn, and I thought something had happened to you!" Sanhu saw them coming up and said, his words full of concern.
"Let's go back to the camp quickly. I saw something strange last night. I need to report it quickly!" Han Ling didn't say much, and turned over and ran to the camp quickly. Their big moves were soon discovered by the Jin army scouts, and there was an immediate opportunity.
The Jin army chased after him. According to the usual rules, in order not to be discovered by the patrol team, the scouts on both sides often evacuated before dawn. However, the abnormality of the Jin army's scouts today made Han Ling believe that the team of Jin hidden in the valley.
The army must have hidden some secrets.
The three of them ignored the yelling of the Jin army behind them and just ran hard. The Jin army behind them chased each other reluctantly until they saw the enemy's ranger appearing on the battlefield yesterday.
