Become a feudal king from today

In the winding valley, the Qinglong Army moved forward like a long snake.

The battle at Hezuishan did not affect the army's journey.

Just the team responsible for investigation beat the Cochin soldiers until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

When this little incident reached Qin Shan's ears, Qin Shan showed a contemptuous expression.

The Cochin people have always been arrogant, but now that they have the Western natives who surrendered them as their backers, they think they can challenge the current Dasong, which is simply ridiculous.

What they didn't expect was that the current Dasong under King Yan was completely different from the former Dasong.

The gap between the Jiaozhi army and the Dasong army was just like when they faced the Frankish muskets and artillery with swords and spears.

In the face of this cruel reality, Jiaozhi still chooses to be the enemy of Dasong, which is asking for death.

After another two hours' journey, the Qinglong Army's vanguard arrived five miles outside Zhileng County.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the gaps in the woods on both sides of the mountain road became dark. Qin Shan ordered the army to station in place, and ordered the generals to send soldiers to patrol and guard the surroundings.

In order to prevent the Cochin army from sneak attacks from the mountains and forests at night, he also ordered the soldiers to place machine guns on both sides of the team and load magazines.

"It's really hot in the south. You don't even need to cover yourself with quilts at night." After giving Qinshan's order, Shangyi returned to Qinshan and fanned himself with a banana leaf folded from the roadside.

Seeing that Qin Shan's forehead was covered with sweat, he smiled playfully and fanned Qin Shan.

"I saved the quilt, but I have to feed the mosquitoes tonight." Qin Shan slapped the back of his left hand. Three mosquitoes died and his hand was bloody.

Then he looked at the soldiers. Under the general's arrangement, they were unpacking their backpacks and spreading quilts.

After the Dasong Military Reform, soldiers would tie up their bedding and carry it on their backs when marching when they went out to fight.

When they go to a place, they will stay in local houses if there are any. If there are no local houses, they will sleep on the ground in the wild.

Unless you judge that a battle may last more than a month, you will not carry bulky tents and other luggage at all.

Obviously, it would not take more than a month for the Qinglong Army to capture Zhileng County.

At this moment, Zhileng County.

Ruan Youjin was taking advantage of the dim light to observe Da Song's army from the gate tower of the county town.

After looking at it for a while, he sneered.

"I don't know how many Central Plains troops were defeated in front of Zhileng County when they went south to Jiaozhi. This time will be no exception." Ruan Youjin handed the telescope to Gao Yaozhi.

This Lengxian County is built in an open area within the mountain road, and the terrain is like a snake with a bulging belly.

The mountains on both sides of the county are like knives, which are the natural east-west walls of the county.

Unless the invading enemy grows wings, it is impossible to cross Zhileng County.

However, there is a hidden cave in the mountain on the east side of the county.

Entering from the cave, you can climb out from the top of the mountain 300 meters outside the county town.

Using this secret passage, they can easily appear on the flank of the invading enemy and catch them by surprise.

Moreover, due to the narrow mountain road, it is inconvenient to set up camps, and the invading army's defense is insufficient, which is more conducive to their attack.

Now, seeing that Dasong's army was so unprepared, his mind suddenly became hot.

In the middle of the night, the Cochin army swarmed down from the mountains. Thinking about it made him excited.

So, he told Gao Yaozhi his thoughts.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Gao Yaozhi frowned, "General Dasong, who is in charge of the army, is very cautious, otherwise our daytime sneak attack would not have failed. He is stationed in the mountains and forests. It is impossible for him not to send troops to patrol in the mountains and forests. ”

"Silly words." Ruan Youjin snorted, "Does Dasong's army know the nearby mountains better than our soldiers? There is no light in the mountains at night, what can they find?"

Gao Yaozhi was speechless after being rebutted, but he always felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't explain exactly what was wrong.

"Go and execute it!" Ruan Youjin ordered, not allowing Gao Yaozhi to say anything else.

Gao Yaozhi said yes, turned and left.

The last trace of light in the sky disappeared.

The entire valley suddenly became dark as ink. In Zhileng County, Jiaozhi soldiers entered the cave with long knives.

For Ruan Youjin, if you want to win this sneak attack, you must fight a hand-to-hand battle.

The field of view at night is too poor to target the enemy, and the position may be exposed.

If they rush down from the mountain and attack Dasong soldiers indiscriminately, they will definitely kill many people and plunge Dasong's army into chaos.

When the time comes, he will order the Cochin soldiers in the city to come out with torches and rifled guns, and the battle will be decided.

As Cochin soldiers took action, fire flickered from time to time in the woods on both sides of the mountain road.

This is when patrolling with a torch.

However, even if there were torches, they could only illuminate a five or six meter radius of the Qinglong Army soldiers, and it was still pitch black outside.

Therefore, the Qinglong Army soldiers were extremely cautious when patrolling.

It is said that before the Qinglong Army set off, King Yan specially sent a telegram.

Remind them that the Cochin Mountains are densely forested and it is easy to hide soldiers, so they should be cautious and cautious.

Therefore, in addition to soldiers patrolling with torches, they also have secret sentries hiding in the darkness.

After all, they are like fireflies, obvious targets in the dark.

If an enemy sneaks into the forest, they must avoid the torches and leave.

And with the hidden whistle, you can light and dark to detect the enemy as much as possible.

As the time passed from dusk to midnight, the Cochin soldiers hiding in the cave lifted a wooden board above their heads.

During the day, this board has a thick layer of fallen leaves on it, which blends in with the surrounding fallen leaves, making it difficult for enemies to spot it.

Climbing out of the cave, the Cochin soldiers immediately noticed the Dasong soldiers patrolling the woods with torches.

After observing for a while, he figured out the general path of the Dasong soldiers' patrol. He asked other soldiers to come up and hide on the back side of the mountain.

The mountains and forests are very vast, and Dasong's army cannot send too many soldiers to patrol. The back of the mountain has become a weak place for patrols, making it easy for them to hide their troops.

They were very familiar with the nearby mountains and forests, and the Jiaozhi soldiers skillfully walked through the mountains to avoid the patrolling Dasong soldiers.

In more than an hour, about 8,000 Cochin soldiers crawled out of the cave and arrived at the predetermined position.

They got the order to launch a sneak attack in the middle, cutting Dasong's army in two from the middle, so that the head and tail could not see each other.

When they were ready, the Jiaozhi soldiers climbed over the ridge from the back of the mountain and quietly went down the mountain.

While walking, they still chose to avoid the patrols.

"Soldiers from Dasong are really stupid. It's weird that they found us like this." A Cochin soldier sneered in his mind as he avoided the path of the patrol.

Lifting his feet and walking forward, he suddenly felt he stepped on something soft.

He was startled for a moment, thinking it was the carcass of a mountain animal, so he didn't pay attention and continued walking forward.

Little did he know that what he had just stepped on was the foot of a Dasong soldier.

This Dasong soldier was hiding in the bushes, holding his breath and concentrating. He was the secret whistle.
