Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() Quan Dashan trotted sweating profusely in the dark night.But even though his physique is relatively good among soldiers, he still feels that his legs are getting heavier and heavier.

There are some torches dotted in the team, which are used by the soldiers to guide the way.If the soldiers had not received good night marching training and good food to ensure physical strength, quite a few soldiers must have fallen behind.But even so, military officers at all levels ran around the front, back, left, and right of the team to prevent any soldiers from falling behind.

After four days of night marching, although the logistics support is very good, the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time makes people more and more tired.And today is the last day of the night march, so all the soldiers tried their best to pass this last hurdle.

And the night march on the last day had to walk forty miles, so He Fei divided the road into four sections.In the first three cuts, the soldiers trotted along with the carts with bare hands.And every time they run a section of the road, the soldiers can rest for a quarter of an hour.And now Quan Dashan is running the third section of the road.

At this time, the front torch was suddenly raised high and shook left and right. Seeing the front torch make such a move, all the torches behind were also raised high and shook.All the soldiers knew that the third section of the road was finally finished.They all collapsed to the ground at once.

And at this time, in a Zhuangzi in Wan Wendong outside the county where Li Lu's garrison yamen was located, the two centurions of the second cavalry also got up in the dark.

They were also all preparing to set off, feeding their horses the last jing feed.These two centurions arrived in Wan Wendong's Zhuangzi disguised as a caravan.They will rush to Dahuai Village by another road, and they are expected to arrive one or two hours after He Fei's vanguard army arrives at Dahuai Village.

And when the cavalry was ready, under the order of the two cavalry leaders who led the team, everyone got on their horses and galloped away in the night with the guide sent by Wan Wendong.

Quan Dashan lay on the ground, feeling a burning pain in his throat.At this time, the team leader from Quan Dashan ran to the lying soldiers, punching and kicking them all up from the ground.While beating, the team leader scolded in a low voice: "Don't lie down, get on the cart and wipe yourself with a dry cloth, so you don't get sick."

Quan Dashan and the others immediately got into the cart, took off their upper bodies, took the dry cloth and clean underwear that had been prepared in the cart, wiped off the sweat on their bodies, and put on clean underwear.

And each squad leader took advantage of this opportunity to ask the soldiers to roll their names for the last time and report to He Fei layer by layer.After hearing all the reports, He Fei nodded with satisfaction.In this night march, except for one soldier who fell ill on the road and two soldiers who sprained their feet, no soldier was left behind.

For the final march, He Fei decided not to spare any horse power, let all the soldiers get on the cart to rest, and let the cart move forward at full speed.Because, after the march is over, it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers have enough physical strength to fight in Dahuai Village.

And the soldiers in Quan Dashan also began to put on beggar armor and strap on their weapons. After being fully armed, they also leaned on the cart and closed their eyes to rest their minds.

Seeing that all the carts were ready, He Fei and Shumo took the guards and cavalry to the front of the train and marched with the soldiers.Because it was dark, I was afraid that the vehicles would turn over the mountain road, so all the large vehicles lined up in a row.Fortunately, the number of large vehicles is not particularly large, only a little over a hundred, so the length of the entire train is not too long.

After walking for a mile like this, He Fei vaguely heard a cock crowing in front of him.It's almost daylight.Shumo smiled and said to He Fei: "The map says that we are going to pass a small mountain village with forty or fifty families. Hearing the crowing of cocks proves that we have not gone wrong. This time our action It still seems to be going well!"

He Fei also laughed when he heard Shumo's words.The relationship between He Fei and Shu Mo is quite good, otherwise, after He Fei was dismissed by Wu Shigong, Shu Mo would not have come to Wu Shigong to intercede.

But at this time, He Fei still said to Shumo: "I've been listening to what the teacher said, such as ninety or one hundred, what he said means doing things well from the beginning to the end, and don't take it lightly at the end. Work harder! Take down Dahuai Village in one go."

"You are really ignorant! What is ninety, one hundred? That sentence is half ninety for a person who walks a hundred miles."

"Yes! That's the sentence. I know you are a book boy next to the master, and you have read a lot, but don't show off in front of me!"

"It's not rare to say you!"

The two of them just chatted and laughed like this, and the guards around them laughed too.

The village where the chickens were crowing in the distance began to show a little light. It was because the villagers started to get up after hearing the crowing, so He Fei and the others didn't care.According to the plan, if there is no resistance, He Fei's vanguard army will rush through this village, ignore these villagers, and go straight to Dahuai Village.

But gradually, the situation became a little bit wrong, there were more and more bright lights, no less than sixty or seventy places, He Fei looked at Shumo with a gloomy face.There are only forty or fifty households, where did sixty or seventy lights come from?Could it be that his vanguard army has been discovered?

He Fei immediately ordered to the ten cavalrymen beside him: "Go ahead and inquire, it's best to arrest someone and tell us what happened."

The ten cavalry immediately let go of their horseshoes and galloped towards the village.After receiving the news, the soldiers on the cart were also ready to fight.The marching speed of the cart was also maximized.

After a while, those cavalrymen arrested two people.When the two men saw so many officers and soldiers suddenly appearing in front of them, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling and speechless.

He Fei asked sharply: "Tell grandpa honestly! Who are you guys? Why are there so many people in this village?"

A person kneeling on the ground trembled and said, "My lord, this villain is a peddler who runs wild goods! I slept in this village last night. Today is the day to go to the market, so this villain wants to sell some Good, earn some money to support the family. The villain really did not collude with these bandits. The official will spare the villain this time." After finishing speaking, the two people kowtowed on the ground.

"Going to the market?" He Fei ignored the two people's begging for mercy, and then asked: "What is going to the market? Tell me clearly!"

"My lord, according to the rules here, every fifth day of the month, people from ten villages and eight miles around here will rush to Dahuai Village to go to the market, and the villain also goes there. Today is September 25th."

"Cao!" He Fei immediately swears, "Are there many people going to the market?" He Fei continued to ask.

"Officer. Of course there are many. There are thousands of people. Those mountain owners, no! Those bandits will rush to the market to collect some money from the stalls."

The more He Fei and Shu Mo heard, the more serious the situation became.Not only these rebellious miners gathered because of going to the market, but also those horse bandits were also at the market.This raid of mine seemed to be sent into the jaws of a tiger.He Fei couldn't help cursing: "I don't know which bastard got this information, and he didn't even figure out the matter of going to the market."

He Fei misunderstood Xue Zhinong's Shanchuan Division. After all, the Shanchuan Division was just established, and the branches never reached Nanyang Mansion.And after scouting the situation in a hurry this time, it is already very good to be able to get a simple map of this area.

At this time, a guard next to him asked a question: "Then why didn't we meet anyone going to the market when we were on our way?"

"Idiot!" Shumo also scolded angrily, "They are all traveling during the day, and we are marching at night."

In the Ming Dynasty, no one traveled in the wilderness at night, otherwise they would not even be able to bear encountering wild animals.However, the vanguard army was indeed lucky, and did not encounter anyone going to the market during the night march.

He Fei raised his head and asked the cavalry who captured the two men, "Did you alarm the people in the village when you captured them?"

"My lord, we caught them on the edge of the village. However, when we caught them, we heard movement in the village."

He Fei shook his head and thought: "It's really not going well! It seems that the people in that village have discovered the movement, and someone may have reported to Dahuai Village."

So He Fei immediately ordered: "Go to Dahuai Village at full speed, and don't care whether anyone will find us. Let all the brothers get ready. When we enter Dahuai Village, we may have to attack. On the road, if anyone blocks the road ahead, push them to both sides of the mountain road. Anyone who resists will be shot to death."

"Yes!" The order came quickly.

At this time, a guard asked He Fei: "My lord, what should we do with these two people?"

He Fei took a look at those two people and saw the pitiful eyes they looked at him, so he hesitated and ordered: "Just throw them here. Their two legs can't run as fast as our cart Four-legged."
