Chapter 47 Desperado
Nuozhou-Xishan
Li Youqian seems to know what an outlaw is, and Du Jing, Cheng Chubi and the hundred cavalry are obviously the best among them.
Climbing a cliff of more than thirty feet, is this a trick that people came up with?
Are you screwed up, or are you crazy? You simply don’t take your life seriously.
Li Youqian couldn't understand how the two of them survived all the wars with such recklessness.
Seeing how fussing he was, Du Jing, who was fidgeting with the rope, laughed and said: "Soldiers, the most amazing way is to combine yin and yang."
Sun Tzu said: Anyone who is in the battlefield first and waits for the enemy is lost, and he who is behind the battlefield and rushes to fight is tired... If you attack, you will take it, but if you attack it, you will not defend it; if you defend it, you will defend it.
Do not attack. Therefore, if you are good at attacking, the enemy will not know where you are defending; if you are good at defending, the enemy will not know where you are attacking.
"Everyone has read Sun Tzu's Art of War, but learning and applying it is difficult."
"At that time, I was just a subordinate general in Saikaido. It was your grandfather who taught us how to face war."
Duke Wei likes to guide the generals in the army during battles, so that they know how to fight and accumulate the application of the art of war in practice. He is a good teacher, but it benefits many people for life.
Maybe Li Youqian was too unpopular, or his intelligence was limited, and he really couldn't understand the mysteries of the art of war, so he only learned some superficial knowledge.
Today, Du Jing will show him how great his grandfather is and what kind of laws of war he created.
It was ten o'clock in the evening, and the afterglow of the sun shone warmly on people. Du Jing and Cheng Chubi took the lead, followed by a hundred old soldiers, climbing the cliff with bare hands.
Their plan was to climb up before the sun went down, find a hiding place, hide until midnight, and make a surprise attack on the south gate while the enemy was sleeping. They would join forces with Li Youqian to capture Nuozhou easily.
The plan was so "perfect" that Li Youqian didn't want to complain anymore, but he was really sweating for the guys above. The pebbles were falling, and who knew who would miss the mark next time.
I don’t know if Li Youqian had a crow’s mouth or if the people on top were just unlucky. When they climbed to the middle, a strong wind blew, and three soldiers lost their grip on the stone and fell down.
But these three soldiers died very hard. After falling from such a high place, there was only the sound of landing and not a single cry.
No matter how stupid Li Youqian is, he understands that they are worried about attracting Qiang soldiers patrolling the mountain. They have such strong discipline and centripetal force. He has seen two such elite soldiers in his life, Baiqi and Su Dingfang's Yinshan Iron Cavalry.
Gritting his teeth, Li Youqian ordered the captain beside him: "When they all go up, take all the fallen bodies with them. They have the right to enter Nuozhou as winners!"
Even Li Youqian, a bystander, is so angry, let alone Du Jing and others who have been with the three for many years.
"Keep climbing!"
After hearing Du Jing's words, everyone held back tears, closed their eyes, took a few deep breaths, forced their hearts to calm down, and continued climbing.
Until the last one climbed up, a total of seven soldiers fell. Du Jing and the others successfully conquered this steep cliff.
He gave them a thumbs up in admiration, and Li Youqian murmured in praise: "Desperados!" and then retreated with them.
They have taken the lead in setting an example with unprecedented courage. Li Youqian and others cannot be too timid, otherwise they will be a joke to these comrades who came from the Liangzhou Army.
.......
midnight
After getting rid of the mountain patrol station, Du Jing got a batch of Qiang clothes. Although they had a special smell that was unacceptable, in order to fight, they couldn't care about mysophobia.
After changing clothes, Du Jing began to assign tasks.
Since he wanted to make a sneak attack, he wanted to make some noise. Cheng Chubi led fifty people as far as possible to sneak into the city's east gate and set fire to it, directing the defenders' attention there and creating conditions for Du Jing to surprise the south gate.<
/p>
Du Jing led 30 people to carry out the surprise attack on the south gate; the remaining people, led by the school captain Cao Jishu, sneaked into the north station mentioned by Jiang Ying and rescued Zhuge Jing from the Ministry of Works.
Why?
Not to mention that Cheng Chubi couldn't figure it out, Cao Jishu was also puzzled. Such a small number of troops were already stretched thin. How could they be divided into rescuing people from the Ministry of Works? And hadn't the general already clearly refused?
"You don't want to do anything bad by rejecting them, do you understand?"
"It is our responsibility as soldiers to protect the environment and the people and protect the people of Tang Dynasty!"
There is no need to discuss issues of principle. They should know this from the first day they join the military.
It is probably the first hour of the twelfth lunar month. The Qiang people in Nuozhou City are already fast asleep, and the soldiers guarding the city are also dozing off. This is the best time to take action.
"Okay, if there's no problem, let's go and ask the Qiang people to get up and pee!" After saying that, Du Jing waved and set off with thirty people.
Nuozhou was originally the Jizhou of the Tang Dynasty, and the defenders mostly used Tang army-style weapons. Therefore, Du Jing and others, who were protected by the Qiang people, walked on the street with horizontal knives hanging on their waists, just like soldiers patrolling the city.
.
In addition, they often dealt with the local Qiang tribe when they were in Liangzhou, and with the convenience of language, they were able to easily get around the South Gate.
There are many wooden houses in Nuozhou, and the autumn wind is dry. It won't be long before the whole city is on fire. Even though the defenders of Nuozhou know that the city defense is critical, they have to allocate limited troops to put out the fire.
Taking advantage of the lack of troops at the south gate, he suddenly rushed out of the alley of the secret case and rushed straight to the city gate; Du Jing took the lead, cutting off two heads with a horizontal sword, and then rushed towards the door bolt.
Those who rush forward must also break off the rear. The city gate is not so easy to capture. When Du Jing and others were rushing from the front, the garrison at the top of the city also separated into a group and rushed to the door. The fifteen who were responsible for breaking off the rear
The famous Tang army immediately fought with him.
The south gate opened with a creaking sound, and all the brothers behind him fell into a pool of blood. Du Jing, who was reduced to a gourd of blood, wiped his face and roared ferociously: "Clear the path for the cavalry, and charge with me!"
For ordinary people, a moment is very short, but for Du Jing and the others, a moment is so long. Fifteen people are equal to three hundred, and the pressure can be imagined. Every step forward is extremely difficult.
There were only steel knives and red blood in his eyes. Although his arms were sore, he could only wave the weapon in his hand desperately.
Because they all know that if they stop now or slow down for a moment, they will turn into a lifeless corpse after a few breaths.
Just when he was about to lose his strength, Li Youqian arrived in time and pushed the Qiang people back with a single charge, saving them.
Li Youqian reined in his horse and stopped, looked at Du Jing and said with a smile: "General, I think you should take a bath, it's too unsightly!"
But he didn't expect that Du Jing pulled him down, jumped on his horse, reined in the horse and said, "Oh, sir, you still have the heart to joke. If you run away, I will send you to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be a eunuch!"...
