Chapter Ten Night Exploration of the Enemy Camp
The autumn moon hangs high, bright and clear.
The weeds that were rich in water in the first half of the month before the wilderness are now mostly shriveled and yellow and withered.
The sound of hooves in the north of the city was thundering, and a Tatar cavalry bypassed outside the range of crossbow arrows in formations with dog-titles. The torches held in their hands drew swaying lines in the night.
A rope rolled down the city wall in the shadow, followed by a black shadow suddenly turned out of the squadron, spreading his legs and leaning against the city wall like a frog. A man next to him said: "Absolute sound, be careful, don't be reckless."
Do it!" The black shadow nodded slightly, pulled the rope and slid down quietly, and the two rises and falls had reached the base of the wall.
The people in the city put away the rope and watched down. Qin Juexiang twisted his feet tightly and ran for a few steps, jumped over the ground, shot across the moat, and disappeared among the vast weeds.
A voice said, "Sister-in-law Sun, don't have to watch here. Let's go to the arrow tower in the west of the city, where there are clairvoyances. You can observe the situation of the enemy camp from a distance. Once there is a change, you can fight out and respond."
Chang Sihao nodded, thinking in his heart that if the traces are really exposed, how could a child in the Wanma Army be able to kill him no matter how good his martial arts skills are? It is not enough to respond. If he wants to escape unscathed, the only way is to prevent the enemy from discovering it.
Own.
The torches in front of the enemy camp were clear and difficult to get close. Qin Juexiang leaned down and sneaked in the dead grass. He circled a large circle to the northwest and came to the slope on the north side. He secretly observed that Altan camp occupied too wide and needed wood was far from enough.
Only erected villages in the front camp, and the remaining places were blocked by deer antlers, stakes, etc., and patrols were accompanied by guards, open and secret whistles were coordinated with each other. Mobile sentries were either in groups of twenty people, or fifty people.
A group of people, holding torches in their hands, responding to each other, and intersecting them in a long and long way. There is an arrow tower every fifty or sixty feet away from the village. There are three archers in it, looking around, the nearby torches are bright, and the moonlight is bright tonight.
I'm afraid that the movements within a hundred feet of the gaze could not avoid their gaze.
Qin Juexiang observed quietly for a while, but could not find any gaps. He felt anxious and thought that he had made a boast about Haikou, but he couldn't even enter the camp when he went to the place. What's the face of returning to the city? Suddenly, he heard the sound of hooves in the back camp rumbling and went around to watch.
I saw the Tartars' horses constantly coming out of the camp under the moonlight and galloping westward. Although there were many people, none of them held torches, which seemed very mysterious.
Looking back at the direction when we came, Datong City was too far apart, with only a vague outline. Even if there were thousands of miles of eyes on the city, there was no place to see here. Qin Juexiang thought in his heart: "The torch in front of the Tartars was bright, but the back camp was evacuating secretly
, without knowing it, only an empty camp will be left at dawn. It seems that grandpa is right, they really have no intention of a decisive battle." However, the horse team that left the camp soon stopped flowing, and the sound of hooves coming west gradually
He was confused: "Looking at this team of people, there are only about 20,000 or 30,000 people, most of the remaining people in Altan camp. Is it said that the troops that went out of the camp were not evacuated
, What task should I do?" Just as I was about to hear a whip coming from behind, I was startled and looked back and suddenly mentioned in my heart: "Oh no!"
Not far behind, there was a team of ox carts, pulling up a large water tank. The old Tatar army leaned on the car and waved their whip and rushed forward, with the bull head head head straight in his direction. There were about twenty or thirty ox carts,
Because the old cow was walking slowly and silently, and he was thinking about something, he didn't notice it.
It was too late to get up and try to avoid it. This place is close to the edge of the rear camp. If you are found here, you will be doomed. If there is only one ox cart, it would be okay. Just kill the old army quickly and do it again
There is no problem with escaping. The difficulty is that the ox carts form a team. If one person is killed, they will be discovered by the back team. No matter how fast you are, it is impossible to treat so many people at the same time.
Seeing that the ox cart was not far away and it was impossible to change the route, Qin Juexiang thought to himself that the old army drove the cart and did not pay attention to the situation on the ground. As long as the ox was not shocked, it would be fine to let it step on it over it. There is no other way now.
, he had to take risks. So he put his heart on his mind and kept his movements in the gaps of grass.
The convoy came slowly, and the first one was approaching. Lao Niu walked on the road like wading water, and his hooves were not high. When he touched Qin Juexiang's knee, he moved a little, but did not step on him. The car was slow.
, A slight delay is unaware of it. Qin Juexiang was secretly happy in his heart. The ox tail had already passed by his face, and suddenly a thought arose, and he pulled the crossbar under the car with both hands and pressed his body up.
He was light and not very moved. The old army in the car did not notice that the coachman behind him was blocked by the bull body. Where did he pay attention to the situation under the car in front? The convoy slowly came to the edge of the camp. The sentry guard saw that it was water.
The car came back, so he quickly moved away the roadblocks such as the horse stakes and put the convoy in.
Qin Juexiang turned his head to the bottom of the car and looked at the legs of the people walking on both sides. He almost laughed out loud, thinking that it was a blessing to lose his horse and said nothing badly. He said nothing. He didn't notice it now, and he easily entered the camp.
It is really time for me to achieve this merit.
He secretly observed the geographical situation of the rear camp, and saw that the flat land of the guard post, the arrow tower and the observation deck were arranged in a regular manner, and the high and low observation network was almost arranged without any blind spots. He recorded the location in his heart, and at the same time he secretly praised Albert.
There are methods to govern the army. Along the way, I saw many large fences along the way, including fat cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, mules and donkeys. They are as continuous as the sea, not as fed by Tatars, and there are also carriages filled with wooden boxes.
In rows, looking at the patterns and locks on the boxes, they were all Han styles, and knew that this must have been robbed by the Tartars, so they gritted their teeth secretly.
The water convoy kept moving forward, and every other section of the way, one was left at the end of the team. The Tatar soldiers each took water bags and went forward to drink. Qin Juexiang secretly planned to do so, thinking that although the water tank on the car was not small, Altan Camp
There are many people in the middle, so there is no enough to divide it. The first cart can only go deep into one-third of the camp. After the army took the water, the convoy was afraid that it would have to go out to the camp to drink a few more trips before the entire army could drink it.
.
After a journey, the water truck behind stopped, and the only one he was left to continue moving forward. Qin Juexiang felt his hands numb, and walked for a while, he couldn't hold on anymore, thinking that he might as well be there.
As he went on, the wheel suddenly stopped, and a group of Tatar soldiers surrounded him. Suddenly, someone shouted in Mongolian words: "Go away!" Someone asked: "What are you doing?" The man in front shouted: "Sweat is waiting to use water,
This car is sent here first!" The rest of the people did not dare to disobey and let it aside. The man said, "Hurry up!" The coachman hurriedly agreed and waved his whip, and the speed suddenly accelerated.
Qin Juexiang looked up from the bottom of the car. The village fences in the distance were connected. The guards inside were all wearing red armor and white feathers in hats. He thought to himself: "This is the Iron Guard Camp that Brother Chang said, no
I know if the commander Uenqi who fell with him is there, what kind of bird look like, Altan's little princess Zhong Jin? Was he broken into a flowery face that day? Haha!" Although he laughed in his heart,
I also know that the inspection here is very strict, but I am afraid that the bottom of the car is not safe, and my hands are so sore that I can't stand it anymore. Seeing that the drivers and the Tartar soldiers were running in front, I didn't expect to look back. There was another tent in front of me.
As he approached, he secretly calculated the distance, seized the opportunity to lift his anger, put his feet first, loosened his hands, and moved forward. His body was stuck in the ground and rolled sideways, hidden in the shadows, and lifted the corner of the tent.
Go in.
A Tartar in the tent changed his guard and came back to rest. He took off his Mongolian boots and was sitting and sucking his athlete's foot. Suddenly, he heard a light sound behind him. When he looked back, his carotid artery had been cut by a knife.
Qin Juexiang dragged him back, covered him with a felt, wiped the blood knife, and looked sideways at the tent. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved. The edge of the camp was tightly defended, and the village was relatively loose, and the patrol whistle was patrolling the camp.
The team was sparse, and there was no time difference to use. He used his light skills and carefully observed the situation around him, and shuttled between the shadows of the tents. He was approaching the central army soon after, and saw three thousand red-clothed iron guards inside and three layers outside, three layers inside and three layers outside.
Mama protected Altan's tent, and it was difficult for the birds to approach. The old army who was driving the car came down and handed the car to the red-clothed iron guards. These people went up and down to check the ox cart, and even opened the lid of the water tank to check it out.
Qin Juexiang secretly thanked his wisdom, otherwise he would not have been discovered by them, and he was trapped in a camp of tens of thousands of people. How could he kill him?
He walked around carefully, and it was difficult to find a breakthrough, and he felt anxious: "When you reach the heart of the center, do you still have to withdraw and go back in vain? No! Grandpa looked down on me, always saying that the resources of craftsmen are worth going out, go out?
I didn't take me if I assassinated Altan. This time he asked me to try it. I can't help but give myself a face."
Looking around, I saw a tent not far away, which was quite large. It was leaning beside the Iron Guard Camp, but outside the fence, and it was also the residence of an important person, so I touched it there. I got to the back of the big tent
He looked for wrinkles and folded the darkness and cut a hole with a knife to look in. He saw a very tall chair back in front of him, covered with tiger skin, the lights in the tent were bright, but there was a dark shadow behind the chair, and there was a fear of something outside.
The patrol team passed by unsafely, so he carefully cut open his tent, entered, and leaned behind the chair.
The two of them were talking in the tent, but they were speaking Chinese, and they didn't notice anything abnormal. One of them was asking: "Military advisor, why did the eldest prince leave? Could something have happened?"
The man on the chair smiled calmly and replied: "The Khan sent Huang Taiji to do business, which is normal. What can I do? Just put your heart in your stomach and do your part."
Qin Juexiang was secretly happy: "Military advisor? Which military advisor? Damn it, could it be that big traitor Zhao Quan? Haha, I should be lucky today, cut off the head of this dog and take it back.
Chapter completed!
