If it had been normal, Qin Feng would have been shaking so much that he would have been bragging with his hands on his hips. However, it is obvious that now is not the time to swell. The enemy may attack at any time, and he must race against time, otherwise Qin Feng and all the soldiers will end up. , it will definitely not be any better than the huge rock in front of you.
Qin Feng did not dare to hesitate and quickly started making arrangements to transform the camp.
First, they counted 30 guards and used wedge-explosion technology to remove the boulders from the east, west, north and west directions of the top of the mountain. All the boulders that were easy to climb were smashed, which not only destroyed the enemy's attack path, but also cut off Qin's attack path. Wind your own retreat.
It is impossible to escape. It is impossible to escape in this life. We can only fight to the end!
Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng counted fifty more guards, went to the mountainside to cut down trees, and transported the wood to the platform opened on the top of the mountain to build a temporary shelter. After building the shelter, these fifty guards will also be involved in the project of excavating the mountain. Not only the east, west, and north directions must be 'flattened', but the south direction facing the enemy also needs to be transformed.
The main strategic idea is very simple, giving the enemy a chance to attack, but the process is extremely difficult.
As a result, Qin Feng still had 120 people left in his hands.
They counted out another 70 people and continued to build simple fortifications and traps on the mountainside in order to conduct staged attacks and consume the enemy's vitality before retreating and defending the top of the mountain.
The remaining fifty people were all handed over to Ning Hu.
According to the information obtained by Jinyiwei, forty miles north of Qingyu Mountain is Pingcang County in Beidi. The county is small, with a population of more than 4,000, and the county defenders are 300 people, plus cadres and strong men. A full dozen counts as four hundred people.
Since we have to fight a protracted war, supplies are the top priority.
Before the retreat yesterday, all the remaining supplies were buried in Qingyun Mountain and were relatively well preserved. However, the stock was too small and could only last for five days. If they exceeded five days, they would starve.
If you can't even guarantee the minimum food, why should you give it a hammer? The enemy doesn't even need to attack. As long as they besiege Qingyu Mountain, they can starve Qin Feng and others to death.
Attacking Pingcang County and plundering supplies is Qin Feng's only chance to survive.
Moreover, the enemy troops must be gathering at this time, preparing to go into the mountains to search and suppress. It is expected that the defenders of Pingcang County will also be mobilized. In fact, the defenders will never have 400 people. In addition, it was a surprise attack. No one would have expected that Qin Feng would dare to go down the mountain to plunder at this time.
In this way, it is not difficult to invade the county.
Of course, Qin Feng also prepared for the worst, and repeatedly told Ning Hu: "If there are serious casualties, give up the siege and withdraw as soon as possible. In addition, remember to fight quickly, this is Beidi's territory, and the surrounding areas They must be gathering an army, and once the news of the attack in Pingcang County comes out, with the speed of the Beidi Rangers, they will be able to support them in less than half an hour."
Ning Hu nodded heavily, patted his chest, and vowed: "It's just a county town, no big deal. I will bring the supplies back within two hours!"
Qin Feng patted Ning Hu on the shoulder and had full confidence in him.
Ning Hu led fifty soldiers and rode towards Pingcang County.
It was already late at night, and Qin Feng was not idle either. He led the remaining Jinyi guards and drove all the horses at the foot of the mountain to the mountain. As they passed through the mountainside, the terrain became extremely steep, making it difficult for the war horses to climb. Qin Feng and Jin Yiwei dragged them up the mountain almost one by one.
Then they drove them to the temporarily opened platform. It was called a platform, but it was actually a gap in the rock wall. After the war horse fell in, the whole body would be caught by the rock wall and unable to move.
These war horses were aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do. If they stayed at the foot of the mountain, they could only become captured materials for the enemy.
As for expending so much effort to bring the war horses to the top of the mountain, it was not to protect the war horses at all, but to store strategic supplies. If the food ran out, the horses would be killed to eat their meat and drink their blood.
In the end, Qin Feng only brought thirty war horses to the top of the mountain. It was really difficult at first. Everyone was exhausted, and the terrain was steep, making this move too dangerous. Come on, the top area is limited and can accommodate thirty war horses, which is already the limit.
Later, Qin Feng led the Jin Yiwei to harvest wild grass between the foot of the mountain and the mountainside, and used it as fodder to transport to the mountain, so that the war horses could survive as long as possible.
Qin Feng slaughtered three of the more than a hundred war horses on the spot, cut all the horse meat into long strips, and asked the Jin Yiwei to take them to the top of the mountain, connect them with straw ropes, and hang them in the air. The climate in the north is dry and windy, which is perfect for making air-dried meat.
Five more war horses were left as food before the enemy attacked the mountain. Qin Feng gritted his teeth and drove them all out of the mountain. He cursed and threatened them to disperse the horses. As for where these horses would eventually go. , it’s not Qin Feng who has the final say.
Leaving them a way to survive is the only thing Qin Feng can do.
At the same time, Ning Hu had led his soldiers to attack Pingcang County.
The battle was much easier than Ning Hu expected.
The soldiers took advantage of the cover of night to reach the root of the city wall, used ropes to climb up the city wall, and killed several guards who had neglected their duties and fell asleep, leaving the entire county in a "defenseless" state.
Coupled with the curfew in the city, there was almost no one on the streets. Ning Hu left five people at the city gate and led the remaining 45 people into two groups.
Go straight to the county office all the way, and go to the barracks the other way.
At midnight, when the defense was lax, the gate of the county government office was closed tightly, but based on the light coming from the crack in the door, it was certain that there was a government official on duty inside.
Since the county government office is surrounded by houses, it is impossible to climb into it.
Ning Hu decisively reached out and patted the Yamen.
After a long time, a lazy voice came from inside: "Who?!"
Ning Hu's voice was low and he replied: "Who do you think I am? The grandpa who guards the camp!"
People inside immediately started scolding: "Fuck you, I am your grandpa! If you have something to say, you will fart!"
Ning Hu said angrily: "The general of the Eagle Brigade sent a message asking fifty people from the county to attack Qingyu Mountain together. Please bring the order to the Lord."
The officer on duty grumbled and opened the door: "We just took away a hundred people, so why do we have to take out another one? It's already late at night, why can't we wait until tomorrow?"
While he was talking, the officer opened the door to a crack, and what he handed in was not a warrant, but a short knife.
Ning Hu acted swiftly and stabbed the government official on the shoulder, knocking the door open. The soldiers who were lying nearby rushed in. The two government officials on duty inside looked shocked. Before they could recover, they were stabbed indiscriminately. die.
Ning Hu led his soldiers, broke into the back house, dragged the county magistrate out of bed, and chopped him to death. The entire county government office echoed with the terrified screams of the female family members and maids.
Ning Hu ignored him and turned around and headed towards the barracks.
