In the cave, the little eunuch used a dagger to draw two lines on Bishan. Chen Wangting was curious and asked him what he meant.
"On the second day after the Qing army arrived outside Ningyuan City," the young eunuch said expressionlessly, "Within ten days, either he dies or I live!"
When Chen Wangting heard this, he couldn't help but trembled slightly. He turned to look at Jiang Fa and saw that he was chatting with Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong in a low voice. The two nephews, Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin, were dressed in fishtail clothes and had embroidered spring knives on their waists, looking heroic. Bo Bo was on duty near the cave entrance chatting with a few Dongchang fans.
At night, the soldiers from Gongzi Camp and Black Panther Camp were all awake, chatting or gambling with nothing to do. Hu Ling, Wu Weiying and Wuzhong were on patrol outside the cave. Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong led their acquaintances to the west end of the cave entrance. The secret whistle reported that the Qing army spies had been spotted earlier, and the two concluded that the Qing army would most likely enter the mountain to search at night. The two brothers planned to set up a small ambush. Jiang was bored and volunteered to go with the two to learn more.
Chang Yu leaned against the cave wall and squinted his eyes, holding hay in his mouth. The two wolf cubs at his feet were sleeping soundly, occasionally rubbing against his feet. Chen Wangting looked at him silently for a while, then got up and walked towards the cave. When he arrived at the old Nine in front.
Lao Jiu led his servants to become famous in one battle, and was praised by everyone. However, in the battle with Nikan, he was stabbed several times and bled. Fortunately, several masters in the cave bandaged him with anti-bleeding medicine and saved his life. , but this guy also looked indifferent, saying that his life was cheap, but he was also tough enough that even if he wanted to die, it would not be that easy.
Others thought he was crazy and secretly called him "Nine Mad Men". On the contrary, Chen Wangting admired him very much. He was brave, not afraid of death, and had the same courage as he did back then.
The weather has been getting warmer recently, and the snow has begun to melt during the day, but at night the cold wind is still blowing, especially in the mountains.
Wuzhong was punished to patrol the mountain as a close servant. Instead of being angry, he was happy and even happy. He followed Hu Ling and Wu Weiying on the mountain tour and kept talking. He said that he finally had his own team, called Heilangying, whose name originated from Since those two wolf cubs, they also said that the Black Wolf Camp will be equipped with the best military equipment in the future, with tall horses, heavy armor and strong bows. In the future, it will definitely be the bravest and most powerful army in the Ming army...
So now he wants to make more money and think more about his brothers... Anyway, Hu Ling's brain was about to explode when he heard the beeping. If he couldn't beat him, he would have beaten him countless times.
Wu Weiying, on the other hand, listened with great interest, and even asked Wu Zhong: "I heard that you have a reputation as a swordsman, and you are so carefree and free with a sword and a horse. Why did you assassinate the factory official as a thief, and why did you join the army and be subject to military regulations? "
The old man in Wuzhong spat out a few feet, and criticized him for hearing too many stories about knight-errants, bullshit sword saints, bullshit rivers and lakes, walking around the rivers and lakes with a sword and a horse, seemingly floating in the world, and endlessly unrestrained, but it was just an imaginary rivers and lakes, but in reality He also needs to eat, survive, and support his family, and eventually ends up killing people for a living.
Wu Weiying's old face turned red and she said awkwardly: "When you are in the arena, you can't help yourself."
What is Jianghu? Wuzhong snorted: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. When I was free, that was the ideal rivers and lakes. Later, when I became a thief, it was the real rivers and lakes. Everyone has their own rivers and lakes. For the Marquis, the officialdom is the rivers and lakes. To Hu Ling, the palace is the rivers and lakes; to the governor, killing enemies and leveling the world is the rivers and lakes!"
Hu Ling deeply believed that some people's rivers and lakes are like a knife, a horse and a pot of wine, while some people's rivers and lakes are like thousands of troops and horses, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
The valley is deep and dangerous, and is named Yixiantian. There are hidden stakes and sentinels on both sides, and there are ambushes above. Only observation posts remain at night. To facilitate travel, Huling people built a simple wooden bridge with giant trees lined up on the top of the valley to facilitate transportation between the two sides. Centaur.
After patrolling along both sides of the valley, the three of them hid under a tree on a high ground, looking at the lights of Ningyuan City and the Qing army camp in the distance in deep thought.
"Master Wu, have you ever led troops in a war before?"
Wuzhong is the kind of person who is heartless. He suddenly asked such a question, which made Wu Weiying blush and cough slightly, feeling slightly embarrassed: "I have never happened before, but I was the admiral of the capital camp back then."
Hu Ling curled his lips, but no one could see him in the dark night.
"Everyone in Gongziying said that the people in Jingying are all rubbish, good at looking but not good at beating." Wuzhong Juebi was a topic stopper. As soon as he said this, there was silence everywhere and no one spoke.
He suddenly felt bored and ran out of words to say: "Hu, how many heads have you snatched today? I got eight. Forty taels of silver can almost buy a house in the capital..."
"Why, you want to retire from the army and retire?" Hu Ling snorted: "I'm not short of money, I'm not interested in heads, and I can't bear to see you begging for money."
Wuzhong shrugged: "You are the governor's confidant. You usually have a lot of money, so you can't care less about this little money. I was as noble as you back then, but it's different now. I still rely on this money to support my Black Wolf Camp. Well, what did you just say, retire from the army? Nonsense, I endured the humiliation and just got a team of troops, ready to fight. Maybe I can make a name for myself, how can I retire..."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden? We will have to ask the governor about this later..." Hu Ling smiled evilly, and Wuzhong was suffocated. He was not afraid of anything but the little eunuch, and he quickly begged for mercy.
Seeing the two of them fighting, Wu Weiying let out a long sigh, it's so good to be young^
There were flashes of fire at the foot of the sudden mountain, and then a loud noise shook the sky. Several artillery shells fell to the ground forty or fifty meters away from them and exploded. The Qing army actually shelled the Western Mountain!
After the sneak attack on the third company, Dorgon could not swallow his bad breath. Seeing Duduo return to camp in embarrassment, he became even more angry. Although he could not attack the mountain at night, he did not want to let the Ming army in the mountain live comfortably, so he ordered the artillery to move to the foot of the west mountain. Start banging the mountain.
Artillery technology during the Ming Dynasty can be said to be leading the world. Among them, the Ming Dynasty's artillery was the fighting chicken among roosters. Before, the Qing army could pick up the cannon skins!
However, since Kong Youde, known as the chief villain of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the artillery power of the Qing Dynasty suddenly increased. This is attributed to the fact that when Kong Youde surrendered, he almost moved the Ming Dynasty's artillery base directly there. There were more than 300 new artillery pieces, plus the Top cannon-making craftsmen, including many foreign experts!
There are many types of artillery, but the only one that can vent Dorgon's anger is the red cannon. This thing is very big and heavy, but its range can reach up to ten miles. It is so powerful that it can destroy a city with one shot!
Dorgon waved his hand, and five red cannons and dozens of field artillery were lined up at the foot of the Western Mountain, and they fired at the Western Mountain in turn.
Chang Yu, who was sleeping in the cave, was shocked when he heard the sound. He never expected the Qing army to play this trick. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he saw flowers blooming all over the mountain, and the rocks were flying. It was so powerful that he cursed Dorgon for showing off his muscles. The order was quickly sent, leaving only a few hidden stakes, and all other patrols retreated into the cave.
Hu Ling proposed an artillery counterattack, but he rejected it. The position of the artillery was exposed as soon as he fired. General Zhankou was on the mountain. The range was not as good as the Qing army's red artillery, and it was easy for them to eliminate them at targeted locations.
The sound of artillery also alarmed Wu Sangui in Ningyuan City. He hurried to the city to take a closer look. He saw the fierce firepower of the Qing army. The shells were hitting the mountains as if they were free. He couldn't help but secretly cursed Dorgon for being a fool. People were hiding in caves and you were hitting the mountains with cannons. Where's the chicken?
Tang Tong wanted to join in the fun and stir up trouble, and wanted to fire artillery from the city to bombard the Qing artillery position at the foot of the Western Mountain. Wu Sangui shook his head. There were not many red cannons in the city, and the distance was also a little far, so I'm afraid they wouldn't have the range. Just mess with him and let him hit the mountain hard.
Dorgon didn't know that there were holes in the mountains. When he was in the camp, he saw a fire breaking out in the western mountains with a sneer on his face. Most of the soldiers hidden in the mountains were in the valleys and woods. He could aim at those directions and fire. If you don't believe it, you can't be killed.
Under the cover of shelling, the spies entered the mountain. This time, the troops were divided into multiple routes. Instead of taking the mountain road, they found another way into the mountain to explore. They also searched Heifeng Mountain at the same time.
Chang Yu wanted to go out of the cave to observe, but was frightened by several cannonballs that landed at the entrance of the cave. Only then did he realize that the Qing army used red cannons, which could hit the top of Shuangshan Mountain as far as possible.
Just as he finished his thoughts, he heard a loud noise above his head, and then several sentries fled in panic. It turned out that the observation post under the rock on the cave roof was affected by the shells, and the post was completely destroyed.
Mother Xipi, go into the cave and sleep! Chang Yu cursed and returned to the cave.
Wu Weiying had been worried that the Qing army would attack in the dark. The young eunuch sneered and looked through the hole: "He doesn't have the guts."
The Qing army did not dare to carry out a large-scale night attack, but small groups of troops began to sneak in under the cover of artillery fire. At the same time, at the entrance of Heifeng Mountain in the west, secret sentries also discovered that Qing army spies began to sneak into the mountain.
At this time, after sleeping all afternoon, Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and curious baby Jiang Fa were bored and led more than 30 people out of the cave to have fun. After walking less than a hundred meters, they saw someone coming out of the cave again, but it was Kuang Ligament. More than ten people said that it was boring to stay in the cave, so why not go out to play in the wild together and have fun.
So a few people murmured in the snow among the trees, and decided to create a false suspicion and lead the spies to Heifeng Mountain, making them think that the Ming army also had an ambush in Heifeng Mountain, thus ignoring the west peak of Shuangshan and covering the cave.
