Chapter nine hundred and fifty fifth clean up
The one who led the team to raid the checkpoint was Ma Dai.
It is not easy to climb a mountain in such heavy rain. The mountain road was extremely slippery by the rain. The water flow wrapped around dead trees and gravel rolled down, knocking down several soldiers. Gao Jin, the cavalry commander who Ma Daiji valued, turned to Lianglong and rushed over many dangers. However, when he was trying to climb, he was hit on the forehead by a wooden stake and suddenly lost his breath. There were also soldiers scattered with the brigade in the heavy rain. Some soldiers slipped in the rapids and were rushed to the low-lying area by the water, and they could never see it again.
Ma Dai led 300 Deli subordinates to set off. When he touched the checkpoint in the dark rainstorm late at night, there were only two hundred people left by his side. Lei Yuan had no idea where he went.
This made Ma Dai a little irritable, so when he asked, he thought that the Cao army officer had some resistance and directly killed him and went to the next checkpoint.
But I never thought that this person was so honest?
"What's next? What do you know from here to the village?" Ma Dai asked.
Dong Liang felt that the vague murderous aura faded. He knew very well that the army in front of him must be the elite under the command of the King of Hanzhong. If he wanted to survive, he had to obey every word from the person in front of him.
"From the way to the village, there is still a mountain road of four or five miles, but it is not very steep. There is a pass, four passes and two guards at the pass. There are more than a hundred soldiers at each pass and guard tower, and there are only twenty or thirty people in each pass. There are originally 1,500 soldiers in the village. Yesterday, three hundred people were divided into gourds and garrisons stationed on the east side of Paishan..."
"Those three hundred people are planning to go deep into Hongshan to kill Liang Maogong, right?" Ma Dai nodded and said, "These group of people are dead."
If the weather is good, Dong Liang can see the gourd rushing from this checkpoint. Even if it rains heavily tonight, those 300 people are old soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time and will not lose their basic vigilance. They just died so lightly, and when they looked up at the high place, they didn't notice it at all?
It can be seen how much power Jiangling has used to attack here!
Dong Liang smiled bitterly.
"What's the situation in the camp? Are you careful? Where are the soldiers' accommodation? Where is the arsenal? Who is the main general? Where is his location?" Ma Dai asked again.
Dong Liang replied in response: "There are soldiers on duty every night in the camp, and tonight is no exception, and the defense is very tight. The soldiers' accommodation is on the left and right sides of the village gate. There are mountains and forest slopes on the north and west sides of the village, and the arsenal and stables are below the slope. The main general is Du Chun, and he should rest in the house at this moment, and the house is on the side of the arsenal."
Although the Cao army officer in front of him was timid and afraid of death, he answered questions quickly and clearly, but his mind was very flexible.
Ma Dai nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. You are a smart person, so as long as you..."
"General, I am from Jingzhou. In my early years, I was a subordinate of Liu Jingsheng, not Cao's army. As long as the general spares my life, I am willing to work hard for the general!"
"Okay! You're really smart!"
Ma Dai waved his hand and continued climbing with his subordinates.
Dong Liang followed Ma Dai closely without waiting for the call.
In a moment, the group approached the huge rock above the mountain road. Ma Dai led more than ten people to carefully cover it from both sides of the road, and indeed saw the next checkpoint. After passing the rain, it was obvious that the brazier in the checkpoint was not burning and thick smoke was emitting. Some Cao army soldiers dozed around the brazier, and occasionally someone sneezed a few times.
Ma Dai held the knife in his hand and winked at Dong Liang.
Dong Liang stood under the checkpoint and shouted loudly: "Open the door! Open the door! I'm back from patrol!"
In the canopy on the checkpoint, someone asked impatiently: "Who?"
Someone laughed and said, "It's Dong Sima, the one from Jingzhou County soldiers! Haha, he doesn't bother with such weather."
After a while, heavy footsteps came from the checkpoint. Several soldiers came out in the rain and opened the wooden fence below the checkpoint.
The next moment, several soldiers were assassinated almost at the same time.
Under the cover of the heavy rain, the sound of the short fight did not attract anyone's attention. The remaining guards in the checkpoint were all silent. It was not until the soldiers of the Jiaozhou army rushed in from all directions that a few short roars and blunt sounds of sword slashing.
Ma Dai stood in the rain, lowering his head to look at the corpse under him. The man's face still had a look of surprise, because his chest and lungs were stabbed through with a long knife, and the blood foam flowed out of the wound, drifting to the lower place, and was soon dispersed by the waterfall like a waterfall.
The entire checkpoint was cleaned up, and the soldiers turned around. Ma Dai said in a deep voice: "Continue to go!"
Dong Liang hurriedly followed.
Du Chun woke up from his sleep.
He suddenly heard a dull sound from the outside, and then another sound; at first glance it sounded like thunder, but thunder would never have happened on the ground. A strong sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart. He turned over and jumped up, took a knife in his hand, and quickly took the leather armor and put it on his body.
"Captain!Captain!" A personal guard outside shouted in panic.
"What's the matter?" Du Chun pushed open the door hard.
The personal guard shouted: "The enemy is coming!"
When the door was retreated, various sounds from the outside world poured in like a tide. The shouts of killing in front of the village gate and the collision of weapons and armor were heard very clearly.
The sound of fighting came through several village walls and was getting closer and closer.
The enemy scolded and slashed, constantly breaking through its own defense. Most of the defenders in the camp were in a dream, so where could they react? A small number of soldiers rushed to fight, but they could not resist it at all.
There was also what Du Chun mistakenly thought was thunder, but now he heard it clearly. It was a large number of arch arms and bow strings vibrated at the same time! With every thunder, the roar of arrows passing through the air, and the thunder of his soldiers being caught in the arrow!
In the clan, the battle is chaotic, and it is a dark rainy night. It is difficult for bow arrows to play a role. Both sides can only compete for the courage of melee to see who dares to exchange their lives for life. However, this enemy army can use bow arrows to cause huge damage!
What does this mean?
If it were someone else, he might not feel the power. But Du Chun was a veteran who had experienced countless wars, and he immediately understood. This means that the enemy's troops were neat and beyond imagination. Even though they fought at night, the queue was not chaotic, so the enemy and us were clearly distinguished, and the crossbow could cover and shoot without any scruples.
He then remembered how terrifying the benefits of the arrows of the elite Han five schools when he rebelled in Runan. He could better distinguish the crackling sound of the crossbow machine. The enemy used not only strong bows, but also some kind of exquisite hand crossbow with extremely fast winding!
Du Chun took a few steps, climbed up the yard wall and took a few more glances.
Just at this moment, lightning flashed in the space, and the flash of light made him confirm his guess.
Yes, there were indeed a large number of crossbowmen lined up to move forward.
In such heavy rain, the bowstrings are easily damaged, but the enemy still uses strong bows and hard crossbows without any scruples, which shows their determination and the strength they invested!
"Captain, what should I do?" the guard asked.
Du Chun hesitated for a moment.
The enemy raided into the village, and the situation was so bad. However, when Du Chun was ordered to defend Paishan, the leader Cao Xiu specially ordered that every camp around Lumen Mountain would fight to the death, and there would be no mistakes. If Du Chun escaped at this moment, the fate would definitely be tragic. Since this is the case, it would be better to fight to the death to win in the first line!
Du Chun put on his helmet and said sternly: "Bring everyone with me!"
There were three or five hundred people stationed around Du Chun's army. Although they were not many, they were old soldiers who had been fighting in the north for many years, with rich combat experience and strong fighting will.
After observing the battle situation in the camp, Du Chun found that the number of enemy troops was not large. Therefore, he planned to take these people to roam the enemy's flanks and launch an unexpected counter-raid. This would avoid the front team's bow and arrow shooting, cause damage to the enemy in close combat, and then defeat the enemy.
As long as they are forced to retreat and attack once, regain the village gate, and defend on the high ground... Even if the enemy army arrives, our side may not be able to hold on!
These old soldiers were all awake at this time. Some were wearing armor, while others were barefoot and barefoot, holding weapons only. Du Chun didn't care about so many and led them to run wildly along a narrow corridor west of the camp. When he approached the enemy's flank, he led more than a dozen powerful soldiers and exerted force together to push down a row of wooden walls at the edge of the corridor, and then everyone rushed out.
The heavy rain covered their mobilization, and Du Chun chose to fight back with excellent timing and location. After the wooden wall was pushed down, the position they launched the attack was less than fifty steps away from the enemy.
The strict queue of the enemy was an obstacle at this time. No matter how well they were trained, they would not be able to change the direction of the queue when Cao's army rushed for fifty steps!
Du Chun shouted and strode forward.
Then he saw the enemy soldiers carrying the crossbows behind him, and then took out the long swords, sharp axes and other weapons hanging from his waist, and greeted them with a grim smile.
The moment the two armies contacted each other, the soldiers on both sides intersected each other, the swords tore their bodies apart, and blood covered the land. In the dark night, many people fell down screaming, and most of them were Du Chun's subordinates.
A Cao army soldier who was rushing in front of Du Chun was slashing his sword when suddenly his whole body became stiff.
Then Du Chun's eyes turned black. It turned out that an enemy warrior had just killed the soldier, and he exerted force with one arm, strangled the soldier's neck and pushed forward.
Chapter completed!
