The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 775 Niu Jinda's First Time

The Golmud River is the largest and longest freshwater river in the Qaidam Basin. It is formed by melting ice and snow from the Kunlun Mountains. However, it is not a smooth and orderly river. There are dozens of small rivers and lakes in the whole river. Composed of forests and grasslands of different sizes distributed between rivers and lakes.

In the upper reaches of Huolanqu, melted ice and snow flow into a low-lying land, forming a lake with a radius of three to four miles. To the south of the lake is a pasture of a size of a thousand acres, which can only graze [-] sheep at most. The lakeside of the pasture is long Surrounded by a lush forest, there is a narrow entrance at the north and south ends, making this ranch very secluded.But the ranch has now turned into a relatively crowded military camp with hundreds of white tents, stables and warehouses. This is the military camp of Tuoba Wei's [-] soldiers.

This place is very secretive, surrounded by forests, and can't be seen from the outside. If it weren't for someone with a heart, even if they went outside the lake, they would never have thought that there was a military camp with more than 6000 people living here.Moreover, there are many secret sentries hidden at the north and south entrances of the barracks. If you enter by mistake, you will probably turn into a corpse within ten steps.

At noon that day, a piece of dead wood drifted from the northeast of the lake to the south bank. When it reached the center of the lake, the dead wood slowly stopped. After a while, three human heads popped out from below.

These three people are Shura Wei sent to inquire about information. They don't need to go ashore, they can see the military camp through the gaps in the forest in the lake.

Tuoba Wei's soldiers were having dinner, chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, it was very lively.

The armor of these soldiers was before the Sui Army, but most of these people's appearance and hair style have exotic appearances. There are Qiang people, people from the Western Regions, Xianbei people, and Sogdian people. Han people are rare.

The three Asura guards observed for about a moment, then dived into the water, pushed the dead wood to other places to watch, observed ten places like this, and then drifted to the northeast coast.

After a while, they landed on the bank of a lake covered by branches and leaves, changed into clean clothes in the woods, and rode their horses and ran eastward.

. . . . .

In this operation of the Sui army, Niu Jinda was the main general, and Pei Xingyan became the deputy general instead.The two were the first batch of generals to follow Yang Tong. After so many years of war training, Niu Jinda already had a wealth of actual combat experience, but due to various reasons, every time he participated in the war, the highest was only the position of deputy commander. It was the first time in his life that he led an army to fight alone.

This is also Yang Tong's habit of employing people. As long as Niu Jinda completes this task perfectly, he will be the commander of the war zone in the future. When the time is right, he will become the leader of the army. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Su Dingfang, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanjun , Xue Wanche, Xie Yingdeng and others have all come out in this way step by step. This is also because there is no shortage of good generals in the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, how would there be time for them to grow steadily?
At this time, the ten thousand Xiaoguo army led by Niu Jinda hid in a dense forest, about ten miles away from the ranch where the Tuobawei army camp was located.

"General Niu, you can follow this forest to the west bank of the lake, and then go south for five or six miles. There is a forest path near the entrance of the ranch." Galohan, who was acting as a guide, was telling Niu Jinda about the surrounding terrain. In order to make meritorious deeds and buy back the lives of the whole family, he was very active. Seeing that the map of the West Sea drawn by the Sui Dynasty was relatively rough, especially the Qaidam Basin was almost blank, the business roads opened up for decades, and the Qaidam Basin The topography and landforms of the village were mapped out in detail. This move also won Yang Tong's promise of half of the family property, and it was also his suggestion to let the scouts investigate from the water.

"How close are you talking about? Please be more specific!" Niu Jinda said.

Galahan thought about it for a while, and said, "About, about three miles long, definitely less than four miles."

Niu Jinda quickly calculated in his mind: four miles is not too far away, and he can be killed in a short while, but the sound of rumbling horseshoes will definitely alarm the enemy. If Tuoba Wei runs into the Kunlun Mountains in the south, then he will have no face to face the Holy Master, so This attack point is definitely not a priority attack point.

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda asked, "Where is the exit of the ranch?"

"Here it is!" Galohan pointed to the map he had drawn himself: "Bypassing the big lake from the east, the south is the bed of the Huolanqu River, which is the exit of the pasture."

Just as Niu Jinda was about to speak, a soldier reported in the distance: "General Niu, the scouts are back."

The three Asura guards quickly walked up to Niu Jinda, saluted and said, "See you, General!"

Niu Jinda quickly asked: "Have you found the enemy army yet?"

A Shura guard replied: "Reporting to the general, we have discovered the whereabouts of the enemy army. There are more than five thousand people. From the hair style, most of them are Qiang people, people from the Western Regions, Xianbei people, and Sogdian people. There are very few Han people. "

Niu Jinda glanced at Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang who were fighting with the army, and said: "In order to make the army's whereabouts closer and be detected by the enemy later, my idea is that the two generals set off at Chou and were responsible for cutting off the light and dark sentries. Critical information should be reported in a timely manner. After completing the task, the Asura Guards will spread out in the surrounding forests to capture the deserters of the enemy, especially those who are dressed as leaders. They would rather catch the wrong one than let them go."

"The final general obeys orders." Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang are here to clear the light and dark posts, and they have no doubts about this task.

"Next, it's our task." Niu Jinda said to Pei Xingyan: "There must be troops at the exit and entrance. I will lead 3000 people to set up an ambush at the southern exit. General Pei, you will lead the main force to attack from the northwest entrance. The attack time is set at Yinshi, what do you think?"

Pei Xingyan has been the coach for many years, and he is very good at making decisions before the battle. Yang Tong appointed him as Niu Jinda's deputy, because he was also worried that Niu Jinda was inexperienced and would make mistakes.Seeing that Niu Jinda was thoughtful, he had nothing to add.

This is Niu Jinda's first time, he won't steal the limelight from his brother, and said with a smile: "You should do the main attack, I'll export the net, what do you think?"

"Then it's a deal, and we'll split up immediately!" Niu Jinda understood Pei Xingyan's good intentions, but as brothers, the friendship was always hidden in his heart, and he didn't say "thank you".

. . . . . . . . . .

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the time gradually reaches Choushi, which is also called cock crowing and barren chicken, which is 1-3 o'clock in the morning.

The lights of the ranch barracks were turned off one by one, and slowly entered the darkness. Most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, but the dozen or so soldiers deployed at the entrance of the pasture were still patrolling back and forth, talking and laughing, and looking vigilantly at the dark forest from time to time.

Ever since Yang Tong led his army into Heyuan, the soldiers of Xihai County were also on guard, so their life was not as happy as before.Before Yang Tong came, although the West Sea had been taken back by the Sui Dynasty, it had little influence on those who lived in darkness. The common people who were squeezed by them were afraid of tragic revenge, and most of them dared not speak out. I dare not apply.They didn't eat at that time, as long as they went out for a stroll, they could eat and take again. Even if the land of Xihai was plagued by the Xue brothers and Murong Fuyun over and over again, as long as there were people there would always be something to squeeze Girls are playable.

But after the emperor Yang Tong came, everything was under martial law, and the head of the family could only take everyone to retreat here.

Thinking back to the days when we had no worries about eating and drinking, and having women to play with, and now living in the saline-alkali soil, the difference is so different that it is hard to describe it in words.

Just when everyone was remembering the past, cursing Yang Tong, and looking forward to the future, the cold murderous intent was approaching with a faint fragrance, and a soldier who didn't notice it took a few breaths of air, with an intoxicated expression on his face. look.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A dozen poisonous arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness behind them. These dozens of sentries were shot in the head, waved their hands weakly, and then fell to the ground. Two slender black shadows immediately climbed up the sentry tower and controlled the alarm bell. The other guards sleeping in the sentry tower were also easily cut their throats by the Shura guards who rushed in. In the eyes of the two soldiers who opened their eyes in astonishment, the two Shura guards jumped down from above. A dark sentry tower was also pulled out by Shurawei in the same way.
Not counting the bright night, dozens of slender figures, like civets, sneaked into the ranch without a sound. In groups of three, they walked towards the guard towers on both sides of the forest path.

One by one, girls wearing bronze masks sneaked up behind an enemy soldier, skillfully covered their mouths and noses, pulled the dagger lightly on their necks, and a stream of blood gushed out silently. And out, just so silently died in the darkness.

"Yo~"

"Yo~"

Just when the Asura Guards who entered the ranch from the front felt their eyes light up, there was a rhythmic eagle cry in the air. When everyone looked up, they saw the huge golden eagle flapping its wings in the air, moving with a special trajectory. gliding.

"Princess, it's actually the Divine Sculpture of the Holy Majesty." Zheng Liwan's subtle voice came from the darkness, and the words were full of inconceivable emotion.

"En." Yang Qinfang on the side nodded.

Zheng Liwan asked again: "Why did it come here?"

Yang Qinfang knew that Yang Tong had sent a divine sculpture and three eagles to protect herself and Yin Mingyue, and when she saw the fiercest divine sculpture appearing above her, she felt sweet in her heart, but she snorted coldly with a stiff mouth and duplicity Said, "Supervise me."

At this moment, the forest trembled. Fifteen Shura guards moved around in the forest and quickly came to them. Each of them wore a Shura mask on their faces, looking extremely ferocious.

The leader is tall and slender, holding a weird big sword, a "branch" grows out of the sword body, and after crossing the sword grid, it protects the hilt with a semicircle.The blade near the hilt is huge and slowly draws forward. What's even more unusual is the front half of the sword, with a triangular hole hollowed out in the middle, which has the characteristics of a knife, sword, and spear.This is the unique sword Yang Yu bestowed on Yinming Yuetian, also known as the Peerless Sword.

Yin Mingyue's vigorous figure coupled with the unique Shura mask and the unique Tianyi sword give people a different kind of temptation, just like an ancient Shura.She asked softly, "Has the mission been completed? Have you encountered any valuable information?"

Marching is only about military rank, regardless of background or seniority, but Yang Qinfang's military rank is far lower than Yinmingyue's, and the Luocha Camp is also under the jurisdiction of Shura Army. At this time, Yang Qinfang is just a general under Yinmingyue's command .

She respectfully replied: "Back to Shura, we advanced in a conical formation. We have cut off the light and dark posts on the front of the enemy camp, and successfully completed the task assigned by General Niu. There are no deadly traps along the way." Yang Qinfang
"I didn't encounter any traps. It seems that the rebels think that this place is very secret and there is no need to fortify it." Yin Mingyue also talked about her encounter, and said to Yang Qinfang: "Notify the two generals that you can act now." . Zheng Liwan took a Huo Luocha guard to lead the troops and lead the way for General Niu. Others sneaked into various important places to prevent the rebels from absconding."

"Here."

Zheng Liwan quickly disappeared into the forest with ten people to lead the way for Niu Jinda, while the others hid in the forest.

The earth began to restore calm again.
