Chapter 186
By the time Xiaowei Sun chased him to the foot of Qilian Mountain, it was almost dark.

Xiaowei Sun secretly regretted that camping in the wild is uncomfortable, not to mention camping in a place like Qilian Mountain, where there are dangers of wild animals.

But Sun Xiaowei looked at the night, there are still gangsters haunting, it is more dangerous to go back at night, he found a mound near the water at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and set up camp by the river.

It was the first time Zhang Hun went out of the city with the cavalry, and he watched the soldiers set up camp curiously.

Although Xiaowei Sun was from a local ruffian, the previous captain was from a family of generals, and Xiaowei Sun also learned some things about the art of war.

Zhang Hun asked curiously: "Lieutenant Sun, why are you camping here?"

Lieutenant Sun said rather ostentatiously: "This is the best place to set up camp. It is surrounded by water to the west. If there is a fire accidentally, you can get water nearby to put out the fire."

"With the river in the west, you don't have to worry about the threat from the west."

Zhang Hun curiously pointed to the front and asked, "The river bend over there is surrounded by water on three sides, why don't you camp there?"

Xiaowei Sun said triumphantly: "This is what you laymen would say. This is a tributary of the Zhangye River that flows down from the Qilian Mountains. It is surrounded by water on three sides and it is very cold. Moreover, the water will rise at night. If the camp is flooded That's bad."

Zhang Hun said with admiration: "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to set up a camp!"

Captain Sun smiled and said, "Of course!"

However, Xiaowei Sun obviously didn't learn the art of war completely. There was a forest to the east of the camp. Lieutenant Sun didn't send out scouts to investigate, nor did he set up more guards. He just arranged for several soldiers to take turns on duty.

In the middle of the night, even the soldiers on duty were tired. They hid on the edge of the camp and dozed off. A group of villagers in black came out from the forest.

Zhang Duanyang, the leader, held a Molotov cocktail in his hand, which he simply made with the high-grade liquor in Zhoushi's wine shop. Naturally, it was not as powerful as the one made by the Bafu Ordnance Supervisor, but it could also create a small fire.

A group of people touched the edge of the camp, and Zhang Duanyang took the lead, lit a big bottle, and threw it towards the tent of the officers and soldiers.

Zhang Duanyang added everything to the strength attribute. When he was young, he practiced shot put in the school sports team. He only saw the Molotov cocktail across the sky and landed in the important hay pile of the camp.

When the cavalry camped, they needed to build a temporary stable. Lieutenant Sun asked the soldiers to build a simple stable in the center of the camp, and surrounded the horses in the middle.

Some fodder was piled up in the stable, and the alcohol in the Molotov cocktail spilled out, igniting the fodder in the stable.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining "hemp bandits" also threw out the Molotov cocktails in their hands. Some of the Molotov cocktails landed on the tent, some on the luggage, and the entire camp was on fire.

"Retreat!" Zhang Duanyang didn't like to fight, he lit the stable and called for people to retreat.

They took advantage of the night to hide in the forest again, and warning bells sounded in the camp of the officers and soldiers.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

Soldiers escaped from the burning tents, all of them covered in black smoke.

Some soldiers rushed to rescue the horses, but the flames frightened the horses, and these horses were tied together by the reins. In the chaos of people turning their backs, several people who rushed in to rescue the horses were kicked by the horses instead.

Captain Sun was also woken up by his own soldiers. When he walked out of the camp and saw the mess, he immediately said, "What's the mess! Hurry up and fetch water from the river to put out the fire!"

Zhang Hun's tent was almost affected by the flames. He got out of the tent in a f*cking manner, hid beside Captain Sun, and looked at the burning barracks in shock.

After tossing for almost an hour, the fire in the general camp was extinguished.

The soldiers were so tired that they collapsed on the ground. The direct casualties of the fire were not large, but many horses and soldiers were injured in the chaos.

Sun Xiaowei's face was ugly, he was clearly camped by the river, but he was still in such a mess.

When I was a soldier, although the former school lieutenant was also greedy, he managed the army fairly strictly, and he often took them out of the city for drills.

It was my turn to be the captain, Captain Sun didn't go to the daily school field drills, and the military discipline became more and more lax. I didn't expect that it would take an hour to save a fire.

Zhang Duanyang, who was ambushing in the woods, did not expect that this group of officers and soldiers would stretch their hips to such an extent.

Originally, the purpose of throwing a few Molotov cocktails at night was to harass the officers and soldiers, but it took an hour for the officers and soldiers to put out the fire.

After such a toss, until dawn, Sun Xiaowei listened to his subordinates report the loss of last night with two thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Bring in all the soldiers who watched the night yesterday to our school captain, and everyone will be whipped ten times in public!"

"Trash! You can't even hold the camp, and let the bandits come in and set fire!"

Lieutenant Sun personally carried out the execution. After tearing apart the two soldiers guarding the temporary camp, he said to the lieutenant general, "Take people and go to the mountain to search for traces of the bandits!"

Zhang Hun also didn't sleep well all night. He yawned and said, "Lieutenant Sun, why don't we go back to the city? These bandits have all gone to the mountains, how can we suppress them?"

Sun Xiaowei said impatiently: "They have already come out, how can they return without success, there are not many places where people can hide in the Qilian Mountains, and this group of gangsters is relying on the convenience of being familiar with the terrain to really confront the officers and soldiers. Fighting is definitely out of the question."

Zhang Hun nodded, and heard from the hijacked civil servants that the bandits had some farming tools and kitchen utensils as weapons, and they didn't have armor to defend themselves.

That being the case, it is safe to follow the officers and soldiers, and Zhang Hun followed Captain Sun with peace of mind.

When the sun was rising, the lieutenant hurriedly returned and reported: "Captain! We have found the stronghold of the bandits!"

"Okay! Quickly gather the front army and go up the mountain!"

The army gathered in a hurry, and the yawning soldiers held their weapons and reluctantly went up the mountain at the urging of the officer.

And Li Daoyuan, who was lying in ambush on the hillside, said: "These Tang troops really don't have any experience in mountain combat. They didn't even investigate such a mountain sliding zone, so they knew how to charge into the mountain."

Looking at the messy troops on the mountain road, Zhang Duanyang also sighed and said: "These cavalry are not trained enough, let alone trained for mountain warfare."

Li Daoyuan nodded and said: "In this case, let them taste the landslide."

The gunpowder buried in the fault layer was carefully calculated by Li Daoyuan.

But this time they were dealing with the army, so Li Daoyuan was just going to scare them.

Just before the officers and soldiers entered the mountain, Li Daoyuan lit the fuse.

Sun Xiaowei first heard a loud noise, and then saw the doomsday scene of landslides and ground cracks. Large pieces of rocks slid down from the mountain, blocking the way of the army.

Just when Xiaowei Sun was still in doubt, a brand new flag was raised on the mountain, and a dozen bandits wearing black clothes and masks stood up and waved the flag together. "Four words, I sat down on the ground in fright.

a day later.

Wu Chudao, the governor of Ganzhou, received a report from his brother-in-law that the bandits could invite the power of the mountain gods, and almost buried alive in the army of the mountain bandits.

Sun Xiaowei led his troops back to the barracks, and refused to go out of the city to suppress the bandits.

When Wu Chudao gritted his teeth and was about to ask for help from the Hexi Governor's Mansion in Wuwei, news came from Jiuquan City.

There are serious bandits in the land of Hexi, King Jianning sent the Yumen Army into the fortress to suppress the bandits!

  To end this episode first, I didn't write it smoothly.
