Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 60
It would be great if this strategy worked.As soon as Jin Ying heard it, he felt that it was feasible, so he ordered his sergeants to step up preparation of crossbow shafts to check the state of the bed crossbow.He also urgently sent Ma Bian to tell the first prince of Wanquanshan about this strategy.

In order to watch their battle situation at night, Liu Tao was not in a hurry to go home. The soldiers who transported food and grass stayed for an extra day to help them carry the crossbow shafts.

At night, Jin Yang and Liu Tao couldn't borrow the fog like Zhuge Liang who borrowed the east wind. They could only pray that the fog would continue like yesterday.

In the carriage, Liu Tao felt uncomfortable being harassed by mosquitoes. If she had known that there were so many mosquitoes here, she would have installed screens on the windows.She was so sleepy that she didn't want to open her eyes, but she just stretched out her hand every once in a while to feel the humidity of the air. When she felt that it was already past midnight and she was almost desperate, she finally saw that the fog was getting thicker.

In order not to let the soldiers go to war hungry, they quickly distributed the two carts of cheese to individuals at their disposal.Each package of cheese has been painted with the words "war preparation food", and each person is only allocated three or four yuan.But this is not a regular meal, it is just for replenishing physical strength at critical moments. The sergeants smelled the rich milky aroma of cheese, and most of them quietly put them in their pockets. Some thought of their wives and children at home, and hoped that the war would end as soon as possible so that Take this rare good thing home for them to try.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, Liu Tao watched these soldiers who had disappeared into the thick fog, and prayed for their safe return.In this attack, Golden Eagle also bet on the 500 people who were hiding, desperately trying to defeat the enemy in one battle.A quarter of an hour later, the direction of the enemy camp began to turmoil.

It turned out that Xu Yanzhi, who was in charge of guarding the mountain pass, was leading a large group of troops and carrying a bed crossbow to attack the enemy, but he was alerted by the sound of a lot of horseshoes from the enemy's direction. Take heavy hits, or dash across mountain passes in chaos.The enemy's cavalry came in covertly. Although they wrapped their horseshoes in felt, they still noticed them from a distance because of their large number.

On the other hand, Xu Yanzhi placed the charging cavalry at the rear and the infantry using the bed crossbow at the front, so they were the first to discover the enemy's situation, put down the bed crossbow and started attacking first.As they started fighting, the information was notified to the horse bandit village through the microphone, and the bed crossbow of the horse bandit village also shot in the same direction.

Although the soldiers manipulating the bed crossbow in the horse bandit village could not see where the enemy was, the sounding tube kept reporting the enemy's position. This was blind typing.Although the results of the battle were invisible, the enemy troops were all crowded together, and they were still massacred by the crossbow arrows flying in the mist.

This time the enemy troops have all left the camp and gathered together, completely exposed to the attack range of the bed crossbow. The thick fog blocked their sight, but they felt the arrows of the crossbow all over the sky, and they didn't know the enemy's arrows. Accurate shooting direction.Gersang was also puzzled, he didn't know why he crashed into the ambush circle of the Daqing army, and seeing the soldiers around him keep falling, he quickly sent an order to retreat into his own camp.

They entered the camp with their front feet, and the follow-up Daqing army also followed closely with their bed crossbows. As a last resort, they had to retreat in the direction of the small river in the dark.The horse bandit stronghold was opened, and the soldiers rushed out carrying the bed crossbows. The enemy ran ahead, and the arrows of the bed crossbows of the Daqing Army followed and shot. Their bodies were everywhere along the way.

After finally reaching the river, the big pebbles by the river are natural horses, and if the horse is unstable, it will cause the horse to stumble.They had to get off their horses and led them down the river. Gelsang's followers lit a few torches and went down the river with him to illuminate him, and some of them lit torches for themselves and their companions.The lit torches illuminated the target for the golden yang and golden eagles who were lying in front of them. Under the command of the unified password, everyone fired the bed crossbow together.

The unsuspecting tens of thousands of people became living targets in the river. Half of the people on the bank behind did not know what happened, and they were still rushing down the river, leading to the same fate as them. As a result, many enemy corpses blocked the narrowest part of the river.Now the enemy army can't move forward in the river, and can't retreat back. As the sky gradually brightens and the fog dissipates, they can see the enemy's situation clearly.

The enemy army saw that there were still a large number of Daqing troops waiting in battle on the other side of the river, and seeing that there was no hope of survival, the remaining less than 3000 people threw their weapons and surrendered. These will be resold as goods.The three armies fought hard all night and were exhausted and hungry, and there was no time to make breakfast in the morning. Everyone chewed the war preparations and talked happily. If the battle situation in Wanquan Mountain is the same as theirs, it means that they will go to crusade soon. In the Blue Wolf Country, the day to go home is not far away.

Jin Zhan was interested in the strange trick of setting the Kongming lantern and blowing the horn, so he interrogated a partial general, and he said: "That is a strange trick that the master of the country of Xiaoyan came up with. Unfortunately, you saw it through, and it didn't happen." confusion……."

"The national teacher is there again, can you find him?"

"No, that national teacher was lying in the water the last time I saw him, and drifted away with the current, probably dead, with a lot of blood on his face..."

"Hmph, it's really cheap for him!"

The next morning, he received a report on the battle situation from the First Prince and the others. The First Prince followed Jin Yang's (Liu Tao) suggestion and took advantage of the thick fog to attack the entire army at Wanquan Mountain Pass, killing 4 to 4 enemy troops, plus A total of [-] to [-] enemy troops were wiped out in previous battles, and about [-] people are still on their way back to the capital of the Blue Wolf Country.

The eldest prince also ordered the golden eagle to be the commander, and the wounded could be brought back by those who delivered the food.Immediately lead all the troops who can fight, enter the Xiaoyan country from the Qinglang country, pass through the seaside of the Xiaoyan country, roundabout and outflank the north gate of the capital of the Qinglang country, break through the gate and wipe out the retreating army of the Qinglang country in one fell swoop. Keep in touch, and be sure to synchronize when encircling Fengcheng.

The bad news is that Marshal Jin Fenglun was wounded in one eye by an arrow, and his two-yuan general was killed in battle.Jin Yang and the others are in relatively good condition. Among the main generals, only the former general Liu Wentao was killed in battle, and Fu Xianfeng Xu Yan lost his arm.

In order to avoid the Northern Army along the way, the Daqing Army put on the enemy's flag, pretending to be the defeated soldiers who retreated from Shuangzi Mountain. This time, there were more horses and carts captured. Except for a few people in the carts, most of them were light cavalry. , and the bed crossbows were all loaded on the cart, and they marched towards Xiaoyan country at a leisurely pace.

Liu Tao insisted not to go back, and she wanted to go with the army to see the saltworks where Jin Yang used to work as a coolie, especially Su Huan, who was kind to Jin Yang.In view of their inconvenience in the army, under Fu Shuai Jinying's instruction, Liu Tao and Hongsi made up as Jinyang's orderlies, and they were not allowed to leave the carriage privately during the march.Fortunately, there are complete eating and drinking utensils in the car, and there is no special trouble.
