Chapter 849: Night Attack
In the dense forest of Yulong Mountain, rows of navy and marines sat cross-legged on the ground. The net-mounted cloaks were filled with branches, and even the helmets were covered with various colors of oil on their faces. Except for the light reflected by the pupils when they opened their eyes, they sat there like rows of small trees.
Ma You leaned on a big tree, and from the outside, he was no different from an ordinary soldier. His dress was almost exactly the same.
A few Ye Yuan's chirping came from the forest in the distance, and then responded. After a while, a sequel of voice came over. Several guys who were exactly the same as their dress appeared in front of the team. Ma You stood up, "Ye Ping, have you figured it out?"
Ye Ping lifted off his helmet and revealed his colorful face. "Hey, I figured it out. This is the sketch we drew!"
After taking the drawing handed over by Ye Ping, Ma's friend scanned it, "Damn it, this village is not easy to fight!"
"It's not easy to fight. We went closer last night and took a look. The village was divided into internal and external villages, head, this is a bit troublesome."
"You have to do the trouble!" Ma You glared at him, "Tell me in detail, what are you getting?"
"There are still some harvest!" Ye Ping smiled and said, "As the boss, you might expect, Xiaogushan was busy fighting, and it became more and more relaxed. The village seemed to be very strict, but it was not the same thing at all. The village gate was open, and the soldiers were in and out. We followed a few of them and found that they were actually picking wild vegetables and mushrooms in and out."
"You didn't touch them, did you?" Ma You said nervously.
"Of course not!" Ye Ping said, "We can't alarm the snake, right?"
Ma You lowered his head and looked at the sketch drawn by Ye Ping carefully, frowned and said, "Even if they are so relaxed, we will not be able to take it down. Have you noticed that the place where this village was established is a commanding height, and you can see all the places below at a glance. Even if they opened the village gate, after we launched an attack, they could find us when we were still far away, and thus start preparing. When we arrived in front of us, they were afraid that they would be ready for war."
"Then we can only do it at night!" Ye Ping said: "Head, have you seen it? We set out from here and arrived at the village. There are three turns in total. There are three checkpoints at these three turns. Our biggest difficulty is to quietly take these three checkpoints. During the day, it is impossible to get them. These three zigzag turns can cover each other. It is impossible to fight hard, and they can only attack them. And they are sneak attacks without a sound."
"This is not a big problem. We are experts in this industry." Ma You said.
"After taking these three checkpoints, we can reach the main village. The problem is that even after taking the foreign village, there is no possibility of keeping quiet anymore. If you attack the inner village, you can only do it. In my estimate, the enemy's main force may be concentrated in the inner village, but we cannot detect what is going on in the inner village."
"Ye Ping, bring you back to Xingqing immediately and transfer a batch of hot oil tanks for me. After taking down the foreign village, we will burn the inner village."
"Understood!"
The Yulongshan Military Village was built by Congliang when the young emperor Li Mian crossed the river from Xingqing to Xingling. Congliang launched the first large-scale attack on Xingqing. As the location of Congliang's central army at that time, this military village was larger in scale. Compared with the Xiaogushan built later, the fortress and military village of Dayangshan were much stronger and larger. If all personnel were stationed, the military village could station 3,000 fully armed soldiers. However, the focus of the combat is now on Xiaogushan and Dayangshan. The purpose of the combat is to prevent the Northern Expedition Army from breaking this line of defense into Ganzhou to pursue Congliang, thereby rescuing the Southern Group of the Northern Expedition Army. Therefore, the troops here were greatly reduced, leaving only more than a thousand people.
Congliang believes that under such a form, Yun Zhao's choice must be to attack Xiaogushan and Dayangshan with all his might, because Yun Zhao cannot give up nearly 100,000 southern expedition troops in Guizhou. This is Yun Zhao's arm. If it is lost, it will be a huge blow to Yun Zhao's overall strategy. Moreover, more than a thousand people left in Yulong Mountain are enough to defend the Yulong Mountain military camp. Although the number of people here has decreased, the equipment is topped with a large number of crossbows and strong bows gathered here.
On such a terrain of Yulong Mountain, there is no problem in defending this important road, and all he needs is time. Once he completes the encirclement of Park Demeng, he is willing to bear some losses. As for the safety of Xiangzhou, Congliang believes that Xie Shilin from Jingzhou will not sit idly and watch, and his lips are lost. Xiangzhou is lost, and the flanks of Jingzhou will also be threatened. Xie Shilin will definitely send troops to rescue Xiangzhou. Before this, he had communicated with Xie Shilin and received Xie Shilin's personal promise.
Congliang is gambled, and Yun Zhao is also gambled. Congliang is betting that Yun Zhao has to follow his pace and follow his footsteps in vain. What Yun Zhao is betting is that Park Demeng can withstand the attacks of Congliang, Su Can and Quan Changbin, firmly stick to his opponent in Guizhou, thus opening the door to victory for his southern expedition.
There were not many troops that could fight in the Great Yue Dynasty. If Park Demeng could stick to Congliang, Su Can and Quan Changbin, the three strong troops of Yun Zhao, there would be only Xie Shilin, who would have strong troops in front of him. He would conquer Xiangzhou, sweep Luzhou, attack Jingzhou, and then go straight in, take Jiangzhou, destroy Tongzhou, enter Weizhou, and go straight to Shangjing, and go straight in with one single sword.
In Yulong Mountain, Ye Ping lay on the ground and slowly crawled upwards. From him, he was only a few dozen steps away from the first checkpoint, but these dozens of steps had already taken almost a stick of incense. Ma You's order was to take down the outer camp of the Yulong Mountain Military Village in the early morning and start attacking the inner camp after dawn. They needed to take down the three checkpoints on the bend of this zigzag before this.
This is the most difficult. If there is a slight mistake, if the enemy in the checkpoint sends an alarm, they must attack. Then this font will become their obstacle, because from above the main village, it can effectively attack this area.
Finally climbed under the first checkpoint, Ye Ping let out a breath and reached out to untie the mesh cloak on his body. This thing could have effectively disguised himself, but now he had to fight close to him, which became a problem. He looked up at the checkpoint above his head. It was about five meters high and was a stone fortress built of stones. There were dense arrow holes on the fortress. From the arrow hole, a vague light flashed out, and snoring sounds came from inside.
He turned around the checkpoint and the door opened on the side facing the military camp. Ye Ping observed for a while, reached out and pushed it gently, and immediately realized that the door was pushed by the door bar. It was impossible to open the door. It was impossible to break into the door. The movement was too loud. After thinking for a while, Ye Ping took out a circle of rope from his arms. There was a small anchor hook on the top of the rope.
"Amitabha!" Ye Ping prayed silently in his heart, and no one was above him. Don't encounter any unexpected things. He grabbed the anchor hook with one hand, circled around his hand a few times, stretched out his hand suddenly, and the anchor hook flew out with a whizzing sound, landing on the top of the fortress, making a tingling sound. Although the sound was not loud, Ye Ping still trembled in his heart.
Everyone lay on the ground for a while, without any reaction. Ye Ping then stood up again and tried to pull the anchor hook. He was lucky and hooked very hard. He shouted luck in his heart and made several gestures behind him. Ye Ping grabbed the rope with both hands and stepped on the wall of the fortress. His hands were intertwined, and he immediately went to the top of the fortress.
There were two crossbows on the top of the fortress, and bundles of crossbow arrows were piled on one side at a time. There was no one on the top of the person who was supposed to be on duty. It seemed that the soldiers here thought the exaggerated air in the forest was too heavy, so they were lazy and went back down. There was a hole at the top of the fortress, and there was a staircase connecting the bottom.
Pointing his head out from the top, waved his hand, and the team members climbed up the rope ladder one after another. After a while, dozens of people gathered at the stairs. They took out a short dagger from the boot bucket, raised their thumbs up, pointed at the bottom, and made a gesture of wiping their necks. Everyone nodded understandingly. Ye Ping showed a smile on his face, and walked down the stairs with slight hands and feet.
After half a stick of incense, the door of the fortress was gently pulled open, and Ye Ping appeared at the door, and the dagger in his hand was still dripping blood downward.
The killing was going on in a quiet and in less than an hour, the two of the three fortresses had changed hands, and the soldiers stationed in each fortress were wiped by the navy and marines in their sleep.
The last one was, and Ye Ping felt relieved, but he just did it. The enemy was too relaxed. Perhaps they never thought that the Northern Army would launch an attack from this direction.
Ye Ping and the two Marines touched the last fortress and took out the anchor hook. When they were about to throw it out, footsteps came from inside. In an instant, the movements of the three people were petrified, and the sound of taking off the top door bar came from beside the door. Ye opened his hand and waved his hand, and the two Marines quickly moved to both sides of the gate, and raised the short dagger in their hands high.
A sleepy enemy appeared at the open door, yawning and walked out, pulling out his belt while walking, without looking sideways, and not seeing the two soldiers standing against the stone wall.
"This guy is here to show respect!" Ye Ping laughed secretly, scared me. A Marine had already pressed it quietly, covering the man's mouth with one hand, and a short dagger came in from the man's slit. When he let go, the man had already collapsed like a slush.
The door opened, but it was much easier to save trouble. Ye Ping happily broke in with a dagger. More Marines held short daggers and long swords in their hands, and then, the sound of the fortress kept ringing everywhere.
Ye Ping sat leisurely on the roof of the third fortress, holding an incense head in his hand and drew three circles in the air.
