Chapter 93 Raid on Qiang Fort (Part )
  On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was another heavy snowfall in northern Shaanxi, and the sky and the earth were pure white.

At the Fudong compound cavalry station, more than a hundred cavalry have lined up, each wearing a white cloak. From a distance, they blend completely into the snow and are difficult to identify.

In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, several sleds were also made, pulled by mules and horses, and lined up on one side, filled with supplies for the march.

Lin Feng and Li Xiongzhen came out of the public house of the Minzhuang Brigade. Li Xiongzhen said as he walked: "Yuanshan, really don't bring more people with you? I always feel that there are too few people and I feel uneasy."

"We are going for a sneak attack. We must move quickly. If there are too many people, we will not be able to achieve the purpose of concealment." Lin Feng responded.

"That's true. Go with all the cavalry and move quickly. Even if the attack doesn't go well, you can evacuate immediately." When Li Xiongzhen saw that he couldn't be persuaded, he also found a reason to comfort himself.

"Xiong Zhen, if we successfully capture Zhenqiang Fort this time, I will go to the grassland for a short period of ten days or as long as half a month. Keep an eye on Fugu.

Just leave the government affairs of the county government to Su Shunnian. Defense mainly relies on Fang Tiezhu and his strong civilian team. Your focus is to manage our Zhenming Group well. "Lin Feng explained.

"Don't worry Yuanshan, I will take good care of my home." Li Xiongzhen replied.

Lin Feng then turned to Fang Dashan and said: "Your escort team will send 50 people to set off later and rush to Zhenqiang Fort together. After we capture the fort, we will be responsible for responding."

"Understood!" Fang Dashan said.

"Sir, the cavalry team has been prepared. Should we set off now?" Captain Wang Qin came over and asked for instructions.

"Let's go!" Lin Feng gave the order, and more than 110 riders set off.

This was a military operation planned by Lin Feng years ago. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year that the enemy might not be prepared, he took Zhenqiang Fort in one fell swoop and killed the Yulin Guardsman Liu Jingsheng.

It is better to be a thief for a thousand days than to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

After all, I am the proud man of heaven who has traveled through time and space. There is no way I can stretch my neck and wait for others to chop me down. This Liu Qianhu has repeatedly stabbed Tiaozi, and now that he has the chance, he must be killed.

Of course, Lin Feng couldn't act recklessly. There are only three to four hundred soldiers in Qiangbao Zhen, and they are all guard soldiers who are not very capable of fighting. It is estimated that the only ones with fighting ability are Liu Jingsheng's twenty or thirty servants.

Lin Feng has basically trained more than a hundred cavalry, and half of them are Mongolians with strong combat capabilities. They are planning a sneak attack during the Chinese New Year, so there is no reason why they cannot defeat them.

And for this operation, Lin Feng has made sufficient preparations. Not only were all usable weapons prepared in the space, but a large amount of food, coal cakes and other materials were also prepared on the sled. Some of the food and 50 sky-shaking mines just made by Sitong Ordnance Factory were loaded on the sled, which is equivalent to that of later generations. grenade, but needs to be ignited manually.

Zhenqiang Fort is located on the edge of the Great Wall 30 kilometers north of Fugu County. It is an important fortress for the Mongolian Tatar invasion of the regional grassland.

The more than one hundred people who participated in the attack were all cavalry, so the march was very fast. At six or seven o'clock in the evening, they had reached a mountain col two or three kilometers away from Zhenqiangbao.

Lin Feng saw that this place was better sheltered from the wind, so he ordered the entire army to stop and rest, eat something simple, and replenish their physical strength.

After eating and resting for a while, it was almost ten o'clock.

Lin Feng ordered the troops to keep quiet and move forward. When they approached about one kilometer away, he ordered the troops to hide on the spot again.

Lin Feng left Wang Qin in charge of the troops while he took Fang Xiaoyu, Wu Yunna, Hong Tu, and Guo Zheng and Fang Qingshi from Tingfeng Pavilion to investigate Zhenqiang Fort.

When Fang Xiaoyu heard that there was a raid mission, she pestered Lin Feng like a mangy dog ​​to go. Lin Feng thought that there was nothing wrong with the arrest team now, and he also needed a capable guard by his side, so he took him with him.

Zhenqiang Fort is a small fort with a circumference of about two miles. Because it mainly defends enemies outside the pass, the focus of the fort wall defense is also in the north direction of the Great Wall. The south side is not the focus of defense. There is only a small gate. The fort wall is relatively low. A trench has been dug in front of the gate. The suspension bridge has been retracted. . Lin Feng glanced around and found no sentry on the fort wall. Maybe it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and no one expected that someone would come to attack them.

So, he patted Guo Zheng and asked softly: "How is the defense inside?"

"Sir, although Zhenqiang Fort has about 350 soldiers, it is the New Year, so many people must have to rest and go back. The fort also has 10 beacon fire piers, and each pier is usually garrisoned by 10 people. In this way Another 100 people have to be reduced, and it is estimated that there will be less than people inside at most.

The focus of the fort's defense has always been on the north side. There is a small guard box behind the south fort gate. Usually there are two people guarding it at night. Most of the guard soldiers should be in the barracks to the left of the Qianhu government office. "Guo Zheng has been to Zhenqiang Fort many times before and is familiar with the situation inside.

"Is there any place on the south fort wall that is easier to climb in?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, there is a gap in the east corner of the fort wall. It is much lower and can easily be climbed in. I just don't know if they have repaired it." Guo Zheng replied.

"What are your thoughts on attacking the fortress?" Lin Feng felt that he was not very proficient in command, so he decided not to be ashamed to ask.

"Sir, I suggest that you send a few people to climb in through the gap in the fort wall, and then secretly kill the guards at the south gate. After opening the fort gate, the large force rushes in." Guo Zheng actively made suggestions.

"Very good, let's do it. Qingshi, go and inform Wang Qin to bring the team over. After we open the fort gate, come in and control the fort gate immediately." Lin Feng arranged.

Fang Qingshi immediately took the order and went over to inform.

Lin Feng was wearing a police stab-proof vest that he found in the police luggage this time. After recent exercise, he has become more and more proficient in using strength in his hands. In addition, he has a space weapon for protection, so he feels that his personal safety is still guaranteed. Guaranteed.

So I decided to take the remaining people in person to touch the guard post and open the door.

About eighty or ninety meters east from the south gate, you can see the gap that Guo Zheng mentioned. Sure enough, the guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty would not waste money on building city walls unless war was imminent.

With this gap, there is less than two meters from the ground to the top of the wall. The tall man from Hongtu grabbed the wall and climbed in first. Guo Zheng, who was lean and agile, also climbed in after him.

Lin Feng put his hand on the wall and climbed up with a little force. He also stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Yunna up. The prairie girl is also very strong and has to be the translator for Hong Tu, otherwise Lin Feng would not take her out to carry out combat missions.

Fang Xiaoyu stayed on guard as the five of them climbed over the fort wall and groped westward along the base of the wall.

After walking about eighty meters, we arrived near the south gate of the fortress. As expected, there was a sentry box next to the gate. Two sentries were huddled inside. Looking carefully at the reflection of the snow, they seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lin Feng and Fang Xiaoyu winked, and the two of them walked over quietly, one person at a time, and with a "click" they broke their necks and sent them back to the west.

Lin Feng and Wu Yunna stayed at the guard box to monitor the situation inside the fort. Guo Zheng and Hong Tu carefully opened the south fort gate and lowered the suspension bridge. Fang Xiaoyu was still observing and alert.

After a while, the cavalry team arrived. Lin Feng asked Wang Qin to lead a team of about 50 cavalry to stay outside the fort to guard, especially to monitor the north gate and kill those who managed to escape.

Lin Feng personally took the remaining 60 or so cavalry to attack the thousands of official offices and military camps in the fort.

About a hundred meters ahead along the road from the south gate is the official residence of the Thousand Households in the middle of the fort. On the left side of the official residence is the military camp, and on the right side are the residences, warehouses and other facilities for military households and their families.
