More than 2,000 war horses and more than 2,000 Yunnan horses used as pack horses moved through the extremely dark night like the wind. Even though it was nighttime, we still couldn't raise a fire to reveal our presence. Let's go to Zhu Heji tonight, oh, it should be Da Boling who leads everyone to attack in a sneak attack - this is not Zhu Heji's nonsense, but Zhuge's military advisor's order!
Military Advisor Zhuge calculated with his fingers and concluded that Zhu Heji must listen to Da Boling for this attack! Moreover, Military Advisor Zhuge also gave Da Bo Ling a bag of tips and tricks to use when she encounters danger.
But with Zhu Heji here, how could she be in danger? Unless he is "attacked" by Zhu Heji himself... In this case, no clever tricks will work!
At this moment, Zhu Heji rode his horse and walked beside Da Boling, turning his head to look at his beloved aunt from time to time.
Da Bo Ling is also riding a Lusitano horse obtained from Macau, and it is also a very rare white horse - Lusitano horses are mostly gray, and white horses are rare. Zhu Heji found a castrated white horse in Macao that could be used as a war horse, and gave it to Da Bo Ling.
In order to match the color of the horse's coat, Daboling wore a white arrow jacket today. In the darkness of night, Daboling's body almost blended into the white horse. Looking from behind, she could see her plump but not obese body rising and falling together. If you go around her or look in front of her, it will be even more impressive... It is simply a strange scenery!
Zhu Heji secretly made up his mind that whenever possible in the future, he must take Dabo Ling with him when sending troops to fight. Watching her body rising and falling on the horse, no matter how boring the march was, it was no longer boring.
While Zhu Heji was looking at Da Bo Ling, Da Bo Ling kept looking at the firelight on the riverside road north of Taiboze. In order to cooperate with the night attack "commanded" by Da Bo Ling, Zhuge Sanhe gave Ling Zongjun issued the order to "bluff and attract the clear demon".
Therefore, the third town under the command of Ling Zongjun has been in trouble since before dark, and it is already late at night and it has not stopped yet. There were blazing torches on the narrow riverside road, and the firelight kept moving from west to east, as if a large group of people were moving towards the front line, or as if a fire dragon was swimming on the bank of the Yangtze River, illuminating the night on the riverside with a faint red glow. Rockets were rising into the night sky one after another, and then exploded, forming a brilliant fire. This is not firing a nitrate rocket, but an ordinary gunpowder rocket. Although it doesn't shoot as high or as far as the sugar rocket, it's quite fun to watch. It's enough to serve as a signal rocket.
Qingyao's side seems to be quite lively tonight. Rockets are also being launched, and there are also fires flowing from the direction of Xiangkou Town to the Xinzi Fort on Jiangbian Road. When the Qingyao Brigade arrived, the defenders of this fortress were ordered to After firing a few cannons and a volley of rifles at random, they retreated as a sign of respect.
Then Zhao Liangdong's flag was moved into Xinzi Fort, and he continued to mobilize troops from Xiangkou Town to Xinzi Fort, also from the afternoon to the second half of the night... If Zhao Liangdong was really dispatching troops, I'm afraid tens of thousands of people have been mobilized to the front line!
If Zhao Liangdong is also cheating, what is his purpose?
The more Da Bo Ling thought about it, the more something was wrong. She was just about to discuss it with Zhu Heji, but when she turned around, she saw that "Zhu San Taiyong" was riding a horse while looking at her with evil intentions... and she was not afraid of another attack. The horse has failed!
Just when she wanted to speak but didn't, Zhu Hejie, who was riding a horse without looking at the road, suddenly tightened the reins, and the big gray horse under his crotch screamed "咴咴媛" and then jumped and stopped moving forward.
Da Bo Ling also quickly stopped her horse and was about to ask.
A trumpeter who was following Da Bo Ling and Zhu Heji immediately took out a suona and blew it hard, and then the sound of suona came one after another in the distance.
Amidst a series of suona sounds, the cavalry, which had been running for most of the night, came to an abrupt stop in the darkness of the night.
Zhu Heji spoke at this time: "Auntie, we are here!"
"Are we here?" Da Bo Ling took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, and then looked forward intently.
Under the dim light of the stars and moon, a dark patch rose in the distance, which should be Xiangshan near Xiangkou Town. On the edge of this bulging dark hill, there is a bright light, which should be Xiangkou Town. valley
At this time, Zhu Heji had already dismounted, and took out the water bag and horse feed bag. While drinking and feeding the horse, he said to Da Bo Ling: "We have arrived early, we can let the brothers rest for a while, and we will be ready as soon as Yin Shi passes." Attack started!"
Da Bo Ling also got off the horse, but she did not feed the horse herself. Instead, she handed the horse to one of Zhu Heji's attendants and went to Zhu Heji's side.
"Ah Pao, something seems wrong over there in Xiangkou Town..."
Zhu Heji smiled and said, "Such a small town can't support itself with tens of thousands of people. We have two thousand cavalry. Are we afraid that we won't be able to deal with them?" He saw the worry on Da Boling's charming face, but also comforted him. She said: "If there is anything wrong, Military Advisor Zhuge won't let us come for a sneak attack, so don't worry!"
"That's right." Da Bo Ling finally laughed, "Ah Pao, let's just sit down for a while!"
Zhu Heji shook his head and said with a smile: "Auntie, we have to patrol each battalion to cheer up the brothers below, and then we have to arrange the order and tactics of the attack. After we capture Xiangkou Town, we will have plenty of time to rest!"
Da Bo Ling felt that something was still wrong, "Ah Pao... Although we marched all night, we were a group of two thousand riders after all. Most of the Qing Yao was still lying in wait on the mountainside road all night long. There is no way we didn't notice it." ? If we rest slowly, won't we give them time to prepare for war?"
"It doesn't matter," Zhu Heji said with a smile, "No matter how prepared Qingyao is, it's useless... because the world has changed now, and we are heavenly soldiers!
He patted his chest and said, "The strength of my two thousand iron cavalry is equivalent to the original two thousand white armor soldiers, maybe a little stronger.
What kind of army is Zhao Liangdong's Ten Thousand New Eight Banners? A group of rotten old Eight Banners plus new coats who can only kowtow are far behind the Guan Ning cavalry back then. How can they be the opponent of our heavenly soldiers? "
...
When Zhu Heji and Da Boling led two thousand cavalry quietly to the vicinity of Xiangkou Town, Xiangkou Town was already on high alert!
In fact, Gushan led by Zhao Liangdong has been in a state of tension and chaos since early yesterday morning, and was mentally tense for almost twelve hours. Moreover, starting from this evening, the whole army, carrying torches and lanterns, ran back and forth two or three times between Xiangkou Town and Xinzibao on Jiangbian Road - they had to fight when they left Xiangkou Town. Light lanterns and torches, and put out lanterns and torches when you come back. In order to create the illusion that a steady stream of troops are marching from Xiangkou Town to Xinzi Fort... In fact, the Gushan led by Zhao Liangdong only has a total of more than 5,000 people. Now he is leading him to Xinzi Fort to deploy more than 3,000 people. People, the remaining more than 2,000 people are still guarding Xiangkou Town!
After most of the troops drove away, the remaining two thousand people certainly did not dare to take it lightly!
As many horse-riding Ye Bushou and walking patrol sentries were sent out as possible. These people opened a large net in the south of Xiangkou Town. Zhu Heji's two thousand cavalry actually hit the net head first.
Only Zhao Desheng personally led the elite cavalry to operate in the front and used spears and bows to deal with dozens of Qing troops who stayed at night, so that the advance of the large troops was not affected.
However, many Qing soldiers still escaped death and returned to Xiangkou Town to report the news of the arrival of the Ming army's cavalry to the deputy commander of the capital, Wo Hei, and the counselor Zhao Hongcan who stayed here.
Among them was Yan Baoyi from Fanjia Farm in Liaodong!
He had a narrow escape this time. When he was running away, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army shot a "butt" of white-haired arrows. Fortunately, he had a high-quality chainmail collar and a armor with iron plates. He wore cloth armor and was not afraid of the heat, so he was able to return to Nihei and Zhao Hongcan alive to report the enemy's situation, and he was rewarded with "raising the flag" again... This slave is really getting better and better. It tastes good.
