Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 92
The heavy rain was heavy, the fog was thick, and people could not be seen clearly. Lightning struck from time to time in the night sky, and Zhuangzi below was pale and pale.

In addition to the sound of rain, even the horses were drenched in the rain obediently, as if there was something in front of them, which made them afraid.

Zhang Jinyu didn't go in hastily. First, he carefully observed the entrance of Zhuangzi not far away. The very ordinary Zhuangzi was no different, except that an old locust tree was planted at the entrance of Zhuangzi, which was a bit creepy.

Zhang Jinyu looked into Zhuangzi with the light of the lightning. It was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly. He vaguely saw two large houses on both sides of the entrance road of Zhuangzi.

Zhang Jinyu dismounted cautiously, led two guards with shields, walked forward, and walked 50 meters before the entrance of Zhuangzi.

stopped.

Duan Hong shouted anxiously when he saw Master Hou himself coming forward;

"Master Hou, be careful."

Zhang Jinyu was not afraid, not that he was a materialist, but before coming here, he looked carefully at Zhuangkou under the light of lightning, and found nothing too suspicious.

However, there are figures flickering in the two rooms at Zhuangzikou, which should be artificially created side reflections. If it is a real person, they should change places instead of standing there all the time.

In order to verify my conjecture, I got off the horse and checked whether there were any remaining marks on the ground at the entrance and exit of the village. It was better to check if it was raining. If there were, there would be puddles of water.

Zhang Jinyu squatted down and touched the ground with his hands. It was very hard, it had been repaired, and he made great efforts. Then he looked at the whole ground. There was water, but it was very shallow. Someone should have entered it for a long time, or it was intentional. .

Duan Hong, who was behind him, couldn't help being afraid of something, so he brought a guard of 500 people off their horses and came over, erecting shields in front of them for protection, Duan Hong hurriedly asked;

"Master Hou, are you all right?"

Zhang Jinyu just waved his hand to signal to be quiet, then looked at the two houses ahead and whispered;

"Arrange people, ten people as a group, ten groups as a team, slowly move forward to occupy the two rooms, and then leave a group of people to guard on the spot, and the remaining people make up a team to continue to the next room, in turn as usual occupied."

Duan Hong had some doubts, didn't he want the whole army to push forward directly?

"Master Hou, don't you want to kill him directly?"

Zhang Jinyu glared at Duan Hong,
"Stupid! Go in, how do you go in, no one has even seen it now, what if you get caught in an ambush, this is called the infiltration method, small-unit warfare. Execute the order, first occupy the two big rooms at Zhuangzikou Let me see if there are people or ghosts inside."

"Understood Lord Hou, I will go in person."

"Okay, be careful."

Zhang Jinyu stared at the front quietly after explaining. The method just now was to infiltrate a small group of Blue Star special operations troops. It was most suitable for sneak attacks at night, and it happened to be used now.

Duan Hong immediately went back to make arrangements, and was the first to divide into ten teams. The first two teams aimed at the two rooms in front of them, and touched them from left and right. On the left arm, Yanran looks like a special operations team.

It was about to enter Zhuangzi soon, but suddenly the soldiers at the front let out an "ah" when they passed by an old locust tree with a crooked neck at the entrance of the village.

The sound spread far away, Zhang Jinyu and the army behind were so frightened that they all drew their weapons and stood on guard.
"What happened?"

Duan Hong hurriedly asked.

"Back to the general, it was just an ordinary trap. The lasso hung the man up, and now the man has been rescued."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Duan Hong also touched the water on his face,
"Brothers, be careful, don't get lost."

"Yes."

The two teams moved forward more cautiously, but did not encounter any more traps. At this time, they had already reached the door of the house. Several soldiers glanced at each other and were about to kick the door in. As soon as they walked forward, they fell into the trap. Fortunately, the people on both sides reacted quickly and pulled him directly.

It turned out that the entrance of the house was a subsidence, and the bottom was full of sharp bamboo thorns, which made several people sweat coldly.

Everyone had no choice but to break in through the window. Fortunately, they didn't encounter anything. After careful inspection, there was nothing, only ordinary farm supplies.

Only then did he report it to Lord Hou. Zhang Jinyu sneered inwardly after hearing the previous report. This was obviously man-made, and the purpose was to prevent outsiders from entering Zhuangzi, but I wanted to enter, and I fell in love with it.

After all, the location here is excellent, and it is also a compromise point for the journey from outside the pass to the capital in the pass, so it would be nice to be a transit point.

"The whole army continues to wait for orders, and your two teams follow me to have a look."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu led people into the house with traps on the left, climbed in through the window, staggered, the water was slippery, almost slipped, stabilized his figure, and then looked inside, it was pitch black.

"Duan Hong, light a fire book and have a look."

"Master Hou, don't keep it secret."

Duan Hong asked puzzledly.

"There's no need to keep it a secret. Someone really has been discovered by the other party a long time ago, and the next attack is about to be made. This place is obviously artificial. It seems that this Zhuangzi is not good at it."

"Understood, Lord Hou."

After speaking, several people took out the fire folders and blew on them directly. Suddenly, the room was brightly lit, and under the light of the fire, you could have a panoramic view of everything in the room.

Zhang Jinyu inspected it carefully, and found that the house was full of household utensils of ordinary farmers, and there was still dust on it, so no one had been here for a long time.

There is a long cloth hanging in the middle of the room, hanging from the beams and facing the window. If it is a rainy night and there is lightning and thunder, the light coming in and refracting just hits the long cloth. From the outside, it looks like someone is there.

The person who arranged this place is a master, Zhang Jinyu admired in his heart.

"Duan Hong, this place has been arranged by an expert. Tell the brothers outside to take out the spears you brought and make three shots in each group. When you see suspicious ground, you should poke through the door of the house first. There may be more traps, so be careful. Now fully enter the village."

"I will take orders at the end."

Duan Hong jumped out of the window, his skills were still so agile, and the army behind him began to arrange.

When everything was ready, Duan Hong shouted;
"The whole army obeys the order, enter the manor, be careful of traps, and try to catch alive as much as possible."

"Respect."

With a loud roar, the whole army began to rush into Zhuangzi, occupying it from house to house, densely packed, and moved very quickly.

Although there are swarms of bees drilling in, if you look down from a high altitude, although there are many people, they are very regular and clear.

In the innermost part of Zhuangzi, several masked men in black looked anxiously at an old man in black at the underground entrance.

The old man said in a hoarse voice;
"Man is not as good as God, why are there a large number of people coming here to the abandoned Zhuangzi at this time?"

"Probably to hide from the rain."

The guard in black outside replied helplessly.

"We also deliberately chose rainy days to deliver this, what should we do?"

The person next to him replied helplessly.

"Can you hide for a while and walk, or kill it?"

Another person asked anxiously.

The old man didn't open his mouth, his vicissitudes of face was full of depression, I didn't expect it.

"Whose soldiers and horses are here?"

"Returning to the commander, there are a lot of people who came here. They are elite at first glance. The armor is in the style of Dawu, but it is not a standard armor. It is more sophisticated. They use a scimitar instead of a long knife, and there is a small circle on the left arm." Shield, I have never seen armor like this."

The old man was also taken aback. Could it be the Shuoyang Frontier Army or the Yunyang County Frontier Army? No, the armor is wrong.

Could it be the Northwest Frontier Army? It is impossible for such a poor place to have such armor. Suddenly, the old man thought of something outside the pass, the fierce tiger Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu.

The old man should have thought about it carefully. Now it is time for the frontier army to return to Beijing, and the emperor is going to inspect the frontier army in nine provinces and the garrison outside the customs. This time is about the same.

"Master Commander, the opponent's advance is too fast, and it seems to be using a new method of tactics, so I can't deal with it at all. In order to avoid casualties, I withdrew the people back. The opponent has at least 4000 troops."

"Well, it's right to withdraw. We only have a few hundred people. We can't fight. Besides, I have to have a good talk with Zhang Houye. I can't hurt the peace. That's right! What new tactics are used by the other party? , let you, an old hand, be helpless?"

"Returning to the commander, each time the opponent sieges a room with a hundred people, leaving ten guards after occupying it, and then fills up a hundred people to continue to the next room. The speed of advancement is extremely fast. As for the trap, the opponent directly violently dismantles it or triggers it to bypass. Obviously the opponent Also a veteran."

Everyone in the room gasped when they heard this. This kind of warfare was unheard of, and the old man in black was also shocked. Sure enough, the generals who can be called catchy are well-deserved.

Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu Zhang Hou Ye, this old man will meet you.

"Come here, light up all the lights so that they can shine brightly."

The people below were stunned when they heard the order.
"Isn't the commander recruiting people? We have time to withdraw them now, and they can't find all the supplies in the underground palace."

A leader below said anxiously, and the people next to him also echoed,

"That's right, Commander, we're going away without anyone noticing it, and it's the same when we come back after they leave."

The old man looked at the two people below, laughed, and said,
"Things with eyes but no pearls, it depends on who it is. After knocking down such a domineering prince, you feel that we still want to leave when he comes. We can leave."

"This. No way!"

The people below looked at each other.
