Quan Dashan was trotting profusely in the dark night. But even though his physique was relatively good among the soldiers, he felt that his legs were getting heavier and heavier.
There are some torches dotted in the team, which are used to guide the soldiers. If the soldiers had not received good night march training and had good food to maintain their physical strength, quite a few soldiers would have fallen behind.
. But even so, military attachés at all levels ran in front, back, left and right of the team to prevent any soldiers from falling behind.
It has been four days of night march. Although the logistics support is very good, the fatigue accumulated for a long time is making people more and more tired. Today is the last day of night march, so all the soldiers are using their best strength.
Work hard to get through this last hurdle.
The last day's night march had to cover more than forty miles, so He Fei divided the road into four sections. In the first three sections, the soldiers marched with bare hands and followed the cart at a trot. And after each march,
After cutting off the road, the soldiers could rest for a quarter of an hour. But now the whole mountain was running on the third road.
At this time, the torch at the front suddenly raised its head high and swayed from side to side. Seeing the torch at the front doing this, all the torches behind also raised their head and swayed. All the soldiers knew that this third torch
The journey was finally over. They all collapsed to the ground.
At this time, in a village in Wanwendong outside the county where Li Lu's garrison office was located, two centurions of the second batch of cavalry also got up in the dark.
They are also preparing to set off, feeding their horses the last meal of concentrate. These two centurions arrived at the village in Wanwendong disguised as a caravan. They will rush to the village from another way
Dahuai Village is expected to arrive one or two hours after He Fei's vanguard army arrives at Dahuai Village.
When the cavalry were all ready, under the command of the two cavalry commanders leading the team, everyone got on their horses and galloped away in the dark night, following the leader sent by Wan Wendong.
Quan Dashan was lying on the ground, feeling that his throat was burning. At this time, Quan Dashan's squad leader ran to the middle of the lying soldiers and pulled them up from the ground with a burst of punches and kicks. While beating, the squad leader
The captain also cursed in a low voice: "Don't lie down dead. Get in the cart quickly and wipe your body with a dry cloth. Don't get sick."
Quan Dashan and the others immediately got on the cart, stripped off their upper bodies, took dry cloths and clean underwear that had been prepared on the cart, wiped off the sweat on their bodies, and put on clean underwear.
Each squad leader took this opportunity to ask the soldiers to roll their names for the last time and reported them to He Fei. After hearing all the reports, He Fei nodded with satisfaction. During this night march, except for one soldier on the road,
Except for two soldiers who suffered a sudden illness and sprained their feet, no soldier was left behind.
During the final march, He Fei decided not to sacrifice horse power, let all the soldiers get on the cart to rest, and let the cart move forward at full speed. Because, after the march was over, it was necessary to ensure that the soldiers had enough physical strength to fight in Dahuai Village.
Woolen cloth.
And all the soldiers in Dashan also began to put on their beggars' armor and strap on their weapons. After being fully armed, they also leaned on the cart and closed their eyes to rest.
Seeing that all the carts were ready, He Fei and Shumo took their guards and cavalry to the front of the train and marched with the soldiers. Because it was dark and they were afraid that the carts would roll down the mountain road, all the carts
They formed a line. Fortunately, the number of large cars was not particularly large, just over a hundred, so the length of the entire line of cars was not too long.
After walking for about a mile, He Fei vaguely heard the crow of cocks ahead. It was almost dawn. Shu Mo smiled and said to He Fei: "The map says that we have to pass through a
There are about 40 to 50 households in a small mountain village. Hearing the crow of cocks proves that we did not go the wrong way. Our operation seems to be going very smoothly this time!"
Hefei also laughed after hearing Shumo's words. The relationship between Hefei and Shumo was quite good, otherwise after Hefei was dismissed by Wu Shigong, Shumo would not have gone to Wu Shigong to plead for mercy.
But at this time, He Fei still said to Shumo: "I have been listening to what the teacher said, about ninety or one hundred. What it means is that you should do things well from beginning to end, and don't take it lightly at the end. Work harder.
!Conquer the Dahuai Village in one go."
"You are really uneducated! What do you mean by ninety or a hundred? That's the saying: He who walks a hundred miles has half a hundred."
"Yes! That's it. I know you are the book boy next to my master and you read a lot, but don't show off in front of me!"
"I don't care about you!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and the guards around them were also laughing.
The village where the roosters crow in the distance began to show a little light. It was because the villagers started to get up after hearing the crowing of the roosters, so Hefei and the others did not pay attention. According to the plan, if they encountered no resistance, Hefei's
The vanguard army will rush through the village, ignore the villagers, and attack Dahuai Village.
But gradually, something went wrong. There were more and more lights, and there were no less than sixty or seventy places. He Fei looked at Shumo with a gloomy face. There were only four or fifty households here, where did they come from?
There are six or seventy bright lights? Has your vanguard army been discovered?
He Fei immediately ordered to the ten cavalrymen beside him: "Go to the front to inquire. It's best to arrest someone and tell us what happened."
The ten cavalrymen immediately let go of their horses and galloped towards the village. After receiving the news, the soldiers on the cart were also ready for battle. The cart's marching speed was also maximized.
After a while, the cavalrymen caught two people and came over. When the two men saw so many officers and soldiers suddenly appearing in front of them, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling and speechless.
He Fei asked sharply: "Tell grandpa honestly! Who are you? Why are there so many people in this village?"
A man kneeling on the ground was trembling and said: "Master, I am just a salesman! I slept in this village last night. Today is the day of the market, and I want to sell some goods."
, to earn some money to support the family. The villain really has no collusion with these bandits. The official will spare the villain this time." After saying this, the two men lay on the ground and kowtowed.
"Going to the market?" He Fei ignored the two people's pleas for mercy and asked: "What are you going to the market? Please explain clearly!"
"My lord, the rules here are that on the fifth day of every month, people from all over the country will rush to Dahuai Village to attend the market. I also go there. Today is September 25th."
"Fuck!" He Fei immediately swore, "Are there many people going to the market?" He Fei then asked.
"Of course there are many, officials. There are thousands of them. Those are the mountain owners, no! Those bandits will rush to the market to collect some stall money."
The more He Fei and Shumo heard about it, the more serious the situation became. Not only were the rebellious miners gathered because they were going to the market, but the horse bandits were also at the market. Their raid seemed like they were walking into a tiger's mouth. He Fei
Fei couldn't help but curse: "I don't know which bastard got this information. He didn't even figure out what happened at the market."
He Fei mistakenly blamed Xue Zhinong's Shanchuan Division. After all, the Shanchuan Division was just established, and its branches had not reached Nanyang Mansion at all. But this time, after hastily reconnaissance of the situation, it was already very good to be able to get a simple map of this area.
.
At this time, a guard next to him asked: "Then why didn't we meet people going to the market when we were on the way?"
"Idiot!" Shu Mo also scolded angrily, "They all traveled during the day, and we marched at night."
In the Ming Dynasty, no one traveled in the wilderness at night, otherwise they would not be able to bear encounters with wild animals. However, the vanguard army was indeed lucky, and they did not encounter anyone going to the market during the night march.
He Fei raised his head and asked the cavalryman who captured the two men: "Did you alert the people in the village when you captured them?"
"Sir, we caught them on the edge of the village. However, while we were catching them, we heard something moving in the village."
He Fei shook his head and thought to himself: "Everything is really not going well! It seems that the people in the village have discovered the movement. Someone may have gone to Dahuai Village to report the news."
So He Fei immediately ordered: "Advance to Dahuai Village at full speed, don't worry about whether anyone will find us. Let all the brothers be ready. When we enter Dahuai Village, we may have to attack by force. And when we rush over,
On the road, whoever blocks the way will be pushed to both sides of the mountain road. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!" The order was quickly conveyed.
At this time, a guard asked He Fei: "Master, what should we do with these two people?"
He Fei glanced at the two people and saw the two people looking at him with pitiful eyes, so he hesitated and ordered: "Just leave them here. They can't outrun our big car with two legs."
