A small team lurked motionless, staring at the patrol slowly passing by. Qin Huaidao at the front of the team remained unmoved and waited patiently. This kind of penetration was too familiar, too familiar. The opponent was like a sieve leaking air.
There are holes everywhere, and it feels like there is no pressure to go through it.
Cheng Chumo and others at the back of the team were different. They felt that Qin Huaidao was going crazy. He was so courageous. There were tens of thousands of enemy troops around him. Once exposed, they would definitely die. They all imitated Qin Huaidao and lay down, not daring to move.
But why am I so excited?
The wind started to pick up, and the biting cold wind stirred up snowflakes flying all over the sky, curling up and down, like a group of white fireflies flying in the night. Some snowflakes fell on everyone's heads and bodies, making their ears feel cold.
I was stiff, but fortunately my neck was wrapped with a cotton scarf so the wind couldn't get in.
Some snowflakes fell on the face and eyebrows, which was very uncomfortable, but everyone did not dare to move. They could only blink hard, eager to blink the snowflakes off the brows, and move their mouths to prevent the cheek muscles from freezing. I really wanted to
I kneaded and rubbed it with my hands, it was so uncomfortable.
But no one dared. The enemy patrol was too close. It was only five meters away. From this distance, everyone's position could be seen. In addition, the surroundings were deathly silent. The slightest sound would be exposed.
"Click, click!"
The sound of neat footsteps gradually went away. Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao impatiently. Seeing that Qin Huaidao had no intention of leaving, they all resisted the urge and gently rubbed their faces to make themselves feel better. Then they saw another patrol slowly coming.
, everyone’s location is actually a cross patrol point.
Everyone was secretly frightened, but luckily they didn't move just now.
A cloud of doubt arose in his heart, why did Qin Huaidao know that there was still a patrol point?
Could it be that Qin Huaidao is much better than him? How is this possible?
All of them are arrogant nobles. In terms of brains, everyone admits that they are not as good as Qin Huaidao, but in terms of force, no one is convinced. The difference is a little at most. At this moment, everyone suddenly realizes that the gap is huge. This feeling is very bad.
Of course, Qin Huaidao didn't see it. The visibility was only five or six meters away. What could he see? But he heard it. He had not lost his special warfare skills and his hearing was amazing. He could judge how many people were coming and how far away they were from the subtle sounds.
Determine a person's height and weight.
Tall and short people make different noises when walking, especially on snow, which is more obvious.
But Qin Huaidao didn't want to explain this kind of thing. After the patrol went far away, he quickly moved forward, using his hands and feet together, running like a cheetah. When everyone behind him saw it, they quickly followed suit. He felt that this kind of running was very strenuous and unaccustomed, but it was also very comfortable.
It’s interesting, so follow along and learn.
After running all the way, a patrol appeared again in front of them. One of them was lying motionless. Perhaps it was because it was too cold, or because it was in the center of the military camp. This patrol didn't care. They dealt with it and left, cursing something.
Everyone continues on their way.
Walking and stopping along the way, I passed through the enemy camp without realizing it.
Qin Huaidao led everyone to run towards the depression, doing everything possible to avoid being exposed. After running for a distance, a small forest appeared in front of them. Everyone stopped and gasped. This kind of penetration was too tense, too exciting, and the most consuming of physical strength and energy. Everyone was tired.
Not light.
However, everyone has good physical fitness and good mental quality. Qin Huaidao can see that they are all good prospects. With a little training, everyone will be a good player. Wait patiently.
"Why are you so out of breath?" Cheng Chumo noticed something unusual.
"Yeah, aren't you nervous?" Yuchi Baolin also asked curiously.
"Why should you be nervous? You can't let the enemy leave if you are nervous. Calm down, keep calm, control your breathing, and make sure that nothing happens to you like me. Anyway, if you are exposed, it won't be a big deal, so why be nervous?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"That's right. Why didn't I think of it just now? I tried my best not to be exposed. I couldn't be exposed. If I had told you earlier, it would have made me nervous for a long time." Yuchi Baolin said with a sneer.
"It'll be fine next time. Are you okay?" Qin Huaidao looked at everyone.
"It's okay!" everyone whispered.
"Then let's go and continue on our way." Qin Huaidao said and strode forward.
Passing through the woods, there is the official road ahead. The official road has been trodden by the army. The snow has been trampled to pieces, flattened, and melted. The road is much easier to walk. The front is dim and nothing can be seen clearly. The road that has been trodden by the army is black.
, but it is more obvious when walking in the snow.
Jogging all the way, my body warmed up.
The silence all around made people feel numb. The dark road ahead looked like a tunnel to hell in the vast white snow. Coupled with the whistling sound of the cold wind, no one really dared to walk alone.
The number of people emboldens the courage, coupled with the high skills and boldness, Qin Huaidao leads the way, everyone is fearless.
After running all night, we arrived at a border gate at dawn.
The border pass was built at a pass between two mountains. It was a fortress made of compacted earth. It was originally stationed with two thousand people. It was regarded as an outpost of Yingzhou. It was usually responsible for reconnaissance, defense against Goguryeo, preventing people from infiltrating, and collecting customs duties. But now
It was a mess, many walls had collapsed, and the ground was covered with corpses, frozen by ice and snow. All of them were wearing Tang army armor and were defenders.
Qin Huaidao stopped and looked at the border man in silence.
Others followed and looked at this scene, with mixed emotions. Cheng Chumo whispered: "This is the border, they are all dead. Damn Goguryeo, I will destroy them sooner or later."
"Come in and find a place to rest." Qin Huaidao whispered and strode forward.
Everyone came to a relatively complete circular fortress, which was full of corpses. The traces of the battle were clearly visible. Qin Huaidao looked at it and whispered: "Who will light the fire and find a hiding place? Others will kill all the soldiers around."
Bring it in, don’t let the wind blow outside.”
"Follow the order!" Everyone said in a deep voice, feeling inexplicably heavy.
Ordinarily, due to their noble status, everyone did not care about the life and death of the soldiers, but at this moment they wanted to do something, no one objected, questioned Qin Huaidao's order, and all went out.
Bodies were brought in one by one and laid side by side, and a bonfire was lit.
But there were too many corpses outside, and everyone continued to move them until they couldn't find any more. Qin Huaidao sat down by the campfire with a cold face, untied the package hanging on his chest, opened it, took out the braised pork jerky, and roasted it on the fire.
Then we started eating, and everyone followed suit. No one spoke, there was only the sound of chewing, and the atmosphere was depressing and silent.
There is an urn in the fortress. Put some snow in it and bake it on the fire. The snow melts into water and boils it. When it cools down, Qin Huaidao takes a few sips and sets it on fire. Everyone is surprised to see that they can get water in this way.
Yiai couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qin, you are very good this way, especially when you pass through the enemy camp. Where did you learn this?"
"Do you know that I accidentally discovered the pre-Qin warlock's cave?" Qin Huaidao came up with an excuse.
"You mean you learned it all in that cave?" Fang Yiai reacted and said with a sudden look on his face: "No wonder, my father always makes fun of you, saying that you are a genius with both civil and military skills. I don't accept it at first, but now
Impressed."
"Hey, it's rare for you to be convincing." Cheng Chumo said habitually.
Fang Yiai said disdainfully: "You can't do it, I don't obey you."
"Are you looking for a fight?" Cheng Chumo got angry.
"Stop arguing!" Qin Huaidao scolded, his sharp eyes swept over the two of them, and added: "It's not easy to tell the difference. This time, which one of you performs better, let everyone witness it."
"Afraid of him!" the two said disdainfully at almost the same time.
"Then it's settled." Qin Huaidao saw the two big thorns starting to compete with each other. He was amused in his heart. As long as it was a competition between the sexes, he didn't want to care about it. He looked at the sky getting brighter outside and reminded: "Brothers from the Cheng family, brothers from the Yuchi family,
The five of you will stand guard first and take turns sleeping for an hour. Pay attention to the surrounding areas and don't let anyone take the blame."
"Understood!" The five people agreed quickly.
Qin Huaidao signaled Luo Zhang to turn around, and the two slept back to back. Li Yixie and Li Derjian saw that this method was good, so they also learned to squint for a while. Fang Yiai had no one to rely on, so they simply sat by the bonfire and slept on his knees.
After running around all night, I was very tired and fell asleep in a daze.
…
Outside Yingzhou City, inside the Chinese military tent.
The general was discussing matters in the tent, his eyes were cold and his thoughts were not clear. After one person finished reporting, he looked at the person next to him and asked: "Is there anything unusual last night? In particular, did anyone escape from Yingzhou and go south?"
"Back to General, the patrols on the south side have been particularly strengthened. No abnormalities have been found. The other three sides have also found nothing."
"Continue to strengthen patrols and we must not let any news come out of Yingzhou." the general warned.
A general hesitated for a moment, stepped out of the queue, cupped his fists and said: "General, why don't you lead the men to attack again? Make more weapons and lengthen the weapons, and we should be able to attack."
"Okay, first prepare the equipment, prepare a thousand ladders, and then prepare to crash the car. This time, the general wants to take Yingzhou in one fell swoop. The situation has changed, and we must fight quickly." The general agreed.
"Great, after we capture Yingzhou, we can go south, fight with the main force, and achieve great achievements." The generals said one after another, their joy was beyond words.
"Report!"
A rapid voice sounded, and then a captain came in: "General, there is a large-scale wind chill in Yingzhou. Many people are bedridden and have serious fevers. The injured soldiers have spoken about their wounds. The military doctors are helpless and suggest that they
If people infected with cold are isolated, the infection will be even greater."
"What, Fenghan?" The general's expression changed.
Other people in the tent were also moved. Wind-cold is contagious, and it spreads quickly. Once the entire army is infected with wind-cold, how can we fight this war? They all looked at the general, losing their high spirits just now.
The general realized that he was in trouble and asked: "Is there any cure for those with cold?"
"I took some medicine, but the effect was not obvious. Moreover, the army did not prepare so many cold medicines."
Medicines will be prepared during marches and battles, but there will not be too many medicines for wind and cold. Who would have thought that there would be widespread wind and cold as soon as the army arrived. This is not normal. The general suddenly thought of something and shouted: "It's water. When we attack the city, Yingzhou
The defenders deliberately used water, bastards, they did it on purpose, it was such a cruel method, quickly isolate all the infected people."
"What about the siege equipment?" the previous general asked.
"We have to prepare. Let's see in two days. If we can control the wind and cold and win Yingzhou in one fell swoop, I will personally pour a bucket of cold water on that old guy Xue Wanshu." The general roared murderously.
…
Qin Huaidao didn't know that his underhanded methods had caused trouble to the Goguryeo army. He was leading his men on their way. They rested for an hour and regained a lot of energy.
The wilderness is endless, and the mountains are blocked by ice and snow, so there are no people along the way.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
"Hidden!" Qin Huaidao shouted, and everyone dispersed on both sides of the official road, lying on the ground motionless. The clothes on their bodies were white, and they blended in with the snow, making them difficult to detect.
Soon, everyone saw a cavalryman running from the rear, armed with two small flags. This was a messenger from the army, either carrying a secret message or a password. Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up.
"Fang Yiai, aren't you yelling for a fight? You're the one caught alive."
"Understood!" Fang Yiai's eyes suddenly lit up.
When the cavalry approached, Fang Yiai suddenly got angry and rushed forward. The cavalryman was shocked and muttered something. Fang Yiai didn't understand, so he rushed over, grabbed the opponent, pulled him down, and threw him to the ground.
The cavalryman was still shouting something, looking angry.
Messengers are a special group of people. Even if bandits see them, they will not rob them.
But Qin Huaidao and others were not bandits, they were enemies. They could not rob others, but this messenger had to be robbed. Cheng Chumo went up to hold the horse, and others gathered around him. Qin Huaidao stared at each other and asked, "What are you doing?"
The other party muttered a lot, as if he was cursing someone.
It's a pity that everyone couldn't understand. Seeing that they couldn't communicate, Qin Huaidao signaled Brother Yuchi to control the person and went forward to search him. No secret letter was found, so he asked: "Is it coming soon?"
"Nothing was found." Cheng Chumo shouted.
If there is no secret letter, it is just a message. Carrying two small flags means it is very urgent. The more urgent the matter is, the less likely it is to be sent back to the enemy. Qin Huaidao looked at Yuchi Baolin and said, "Kill him far away and cover it with snow to avoid discovery.
"
Yuchi Baolin nodded and took the person away.
Soon, everyone continued on their way.
Within the next hour, four more groups of messengers appeared in succession. They were all killed and hidden. Due to the language barrier, they could not communicate and could not obtain valuable information. However, they had a few more horses to carry them around. At dusk, everyone found a deserted place.
They stayed in a temple and did not dare to enter the city to avoid being exposed. They continued on their way the next day.
One day later, everyone killed several more groups of messengers, and each man had a war horse to take his place.
At dusk two days later, everyone came to hide in the woods outside Liaodong City, ate and waited for dark. Qin Huaidao looked at everyone. They were all a little tired, but they seemed to be in good spirits, so he said, "Let's all take a rest.
Is it okay to move at the right time?"
Everyone shook their heads. Li Derjian looked at everyone and said: "I have a question. How to determine the location of food and grass? Liaodong City is not small, so it is not easy to find it slowly."
"Food and grass are precious materials. There are only two places to hide them. One is in the government office and the other is in the military camp. The government office is not big enough to store much. Goguryeo is well prepared this time. There will be no shortage of food and grass. The largest
It may be placed in a military camp, and it is convenient for transportation within the military camp."
"The military camp must be tightly defended," Li Derjian reminded.
"We will act by ear when the time comes." Qin Huaidao said. Without intelligence, support or internal response, such an action would be very risky, but the benefits would also be great. Qin Huaidao wanted to try it.
Everyone was silent, relying on the horses to keep warm and eating something to regain their strength.
Until late at night, Qin Huaidao gave an order, and everyone tied their horses and stayed in the woods, followed them out with weapons, and headed towards Liaodong City.
The Liaodong City Wall is tall and majestic. It looks like an ancient ferocious beast entrenched in the moonlight. The strange thing is that there are no people patrolling the city. Everyone is a little surprised, but more excited. No patrol means it is easy to get in. Fang Yiai can't bear it.
Zhu said: "Great, these bastards must be afraid of the cold and are hiding."
"No, it's because Goguryeo has attacked the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect anyone to come. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Who dares to come here except for us?" Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice.
"This is called a surprise. We deserve our success." Li Derjian agreed.
"Whatever, just fuck him," Cheng Chu said nonchalantly.
Qin Huaidao was also a little surprised. There was no one on the city wall, so the matter was a big step forward. He led everyone quickly to the bottom of the city wall, observed for a moment, and took the lead in throwing the hook up, pulling it, it was very stable, and whispered: "I'll go first
Go up first, wait for my signal before you go up, and try not to talk or make any noise."
Everyone nodded.
Qin Huaidao continued to warn uneasily: "Also, if there is a fight, cover the opponent's neck and sing in the throat with a knife. Don't pierce the heart. If you pierce the heart, you will still cry out. If the throat is broken, you will not be able to cry out. Remember this."
"Understood!" everyone responded.
The grass-roots team can only make do with things like special warfare.
Qin Huaidao pulled the rope and climbed up the city wall skillfully. When he carefully looked around, he saw that a thirty-man patrol had gone far away with no intention of looking back. They huddled up one by one with cold, turned over and made a gesture, but there was no
Collect the rope and use it later.
Standing at the top of the city, it is easy to be exposed. Qin Huaidao quickly rushed to the opposite side and saw the steps leading down to the city wall not far away. He hunched over and rushed over, squatting down to look around. Because of the late night and the cold and snowy weather, everyone huddled in the room.
There was no one outside, and the city was empty and deserted.
It didn't take long for everyone to follow. They were all so excited that they actually entered the city. This was Liaodong, not an ordinary small city. They felt incredible and looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Get off one by one. Walk close to the wall when you get down. Pay attention to follow me." Qin Huaidao was teaching on the spot. He didn't care about everyone's nodding. He went down with a hunched body. He used the wall next to the steps to cover himself, lowered his voice as much as possible, and rushed down.
Past and disappeared under the wall.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all followed suit.
Not long after, everyone got off the city wall and pushed forward along the base of the city wall. Qin Huaidao held the dog-leg knife in his hand and glanced around with sharp eyes, not missing any detail.
Not long after, everyone came to a group of buildings, using the shelter of the houses to run faster and more worry-free. They were like wolves looking for food at night, silently, but with a certain cold fighting spirit.
Liaodong City is not small, and it is not easy to find a military camp. But Qin Huaidao had a way. After finding a patrol team, he followed it around a few streets. The patrol team began to return to the camp, and everyone followed them to a
Looking at the huge military camp, everyone's eyes lit up. How could they still be looking for it like this?
Qin Huaidao signaled everyone to hide, and after careful observation, there were people guarding the entrance to the camp. Breaking through by force was definitely not possible. One side was next to a tall city wall, and the other side was a courtyard wall. It was only three meters high, so it was not difficult for everyone.
After a while, everyone quickly followed Qin Huaidao to a courtyard wall. They saw Qin Huaidao jumping up and climbing up the courtyard wall. His body shrank and he climbed up. Their eyes lit up and they all followed suit. They imitated Qin Huaidao and lay still on the courtyard wall.
, no rush to jump, patiently observe.
There is snow piled up on the courtyard wall, and everyone’s coats are white, so it’s hard to spot them unless you’re in front of them.
The military camp was very large, and the barracks were densely packed, but it was quiet, and everyone was asleep. There were only a few barracks with lights on, but no one came out. Goguryeo was invading Datang, and no one expected that anyone would enter Liaodong City.
Soon, Qin Huaidao noticed a large courtyard. Inside were rows of rectangular houses with no windows and thick thatched roofs. If it was a barracks, there was no reason not to leave windows. Even miscellaneous rooms would have windows, only warehouses.
There were several people guarding the entrance of the compound and burning a bonfire, but they still hugged their bodies tightly due to the cold.
Qin Huaidao was overjoyed and quickly moved forward, followed by others.
Each one was like a night owl stealing food in the wild when they smelled the blood. They were excited, nervous, and full of expectations. Their eyes were shining. It felt very novel. How could a battle be fought like this?
Soon, everyone came to a corner near the compound. Qin Huaidao lowered his voice and said: "Follow me and touch it first, then one person at a time, and move quickly."
Everyone nodded, excited.
Qin Huaidao hunched his body and hurried forward close to the corner. Everyone followed him, and soon they came to the entrance of the courtyard. One person was alert. Looking back, he saw a flash of white light and a sharp pain in his throat. He wanted to shout,
But he couldn't shout, his vision went dark, and his body collapsed to the ground.
"Pfft——"
The dog-legged knife was so quick that it ripped open the throats of the two men.
Others reacted, but it was too late. Cheng Chumo and others swarmed up, one by one, and easily captured. Qin Huaidao picked up a gun and passed it through the collar of a person's back, came out from his trousers, and plunged into the ground. This person then
When it was fixed, he shouted: "Quick, fix everything."
Everyone's eyes were shining, and they could still operate like this. They picked up the guns of these soldiers one after another, and followed the same method, fixing the people on the snow without moving or falling. They also fixed them around the bonfire, making it difficult to spot them until they were in front of them.
Qin Huaidao squatted on the ground and observed the surroundings vigilantly. After making sure that he was not exposed, he rushed into the courtyard with a burning log from the bonfire, came to a room, pried open the door lock, and when he opened the door, he saw that there were circles inside.
It was a large wooden barrel with an outlet. There were some grains scattered on the ground, and some bags were not fastened nearby. The yellow wheat reflected the light of the fire.
Others followed with torches and were overjoyed to see this scene, laughing.
Qin Huaidao went up and opened the valve of a large wooden barrel, and the grain flowed out from the outlet. This large round wooden barrel was used to hold grain and was waterproof and moisture-proof.
"Quickly, take one person to a room, set fire to it with a sack, then come out and close the door."
At the command, everyone dispersed, knocked on the door, entered, and excitedly set fire to the place.
When the grain is dry, it catches fire at a moment's notice and begins to burn.
