"Hurry, hurry up, keep up, don't fall behind! You bunch of bastards, you always talk about having no time to fight, so now it's really your turn to go into battle, and I'm not angry again." Wearing military uniforms, with swords and pestles in their hands, they shouted to the team to keep up the pace. One by one, human heads popped up in the night, swaying and disappearing in front, and the ones behind continued to follow.
The edges of the black mountains are almost invisible, and the raised torches form a huge fire dragon, meandering among the mountains. From the moment he received the order to prepare for war, Shanzhu had his first division immediately mobilized for war. As soon as the order was issued, the first division did not need to prepare at all and went straight on the journey.
From the foothills of Dayunling Mountain in the north of Tianshui, we have to climb more than a hundred miles of lofty mountains. Although there are local guides who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way, Shanzhu still dare not be careless. After all, this is the first time since the formation of the First Division of Northern Luzon. This was the first time he left the defense zone to fight. He really lost his temper. Not to mention his superiors, not even he could forgive himself.
From the southern foot of Dayunling to the northern foot, the straight-line distance is actually only twenty miles, but it is not an easy task to cross this mountain range. The endless mountains are arranged in a vertical and horizontal direction, and there are almost no roads between the mountains. Wild paths trodden by some hunters and herb gatherers. Although he was quite confident in the quality of his division's soldiers, Shanzhu still walked on the front line and personally supervised the formation.
It was cold and windy in the mountains in December, but the Gaoyuan soldiers who had been walking through the mountains for several hours were already sweating profusely. Even though they were walking through such harsh mountains and forests, it was still quite difficult, especially This is especially true when a certain speed is required. But Shanzhu didn't have the slightest intention of giving an order to rest, and just silently followed the team forward quickly. This was the case with the division commanders. Both officers and soldiers gave up the idea of resting and had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep up with the advancing team.
Dayunling is composed of a series of crisscrossing mountains. The guide who led the way was a hunter who lived in the mountains between Pinglu and Tianshui. He was relatively familiar with this route and walked it with ease. Orion, who is good at climbing hills and hills, felt a little overwhelmed after walking continuously for eight hours. He had to slow down and take the initiative to take a rest. At this time, Shanzhu reluctantly agreed to rest for an hour for sharpening.
"Huashui Valley is twenty miles in front of you, sir. You can slide down the mountain ridge on the side with a rattan rope and be lifted directly into the back of a hill in the valley. However, we have not yet received the reward from the last batch of scouts. However, according to intelligence reports , there should be at least 15,000 people in the valley. My subordinates feel that if the scout's intelligence is confirmed to be correct, we can send people to ambush on the south side of the valley wall. Once there is a police officer, we can light a fire on the south wall to cause chaos, making the enemy think We are attacking from the south, so that our main force can take the opportunity to forcefully attack from the north of Yu and avoid unnecessary losses." The troops had stopped, and with the faint light of the fire, the chief of staff unfolded the map in his hand and roughly The black arrows have been clearly marked, and the attack targets of each unit are also accurate.
"Well, order the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Regiments to move to Yubei and prepare for an ambush. Pay attention to concealment and wait for orders; the 1st Regiment cooperates with two special sniper squadrons to hang down the vine rope from the mountain stream in the west. Hang down to prevent the enemy's secret sentry from the north from being discovered. In this regard, please ask the people of their special sniper squadron to work harder. We must ensure that our first regiment enters the valley as much as possible before launching an attack. We can let them in the south of the valley. The members of the sniper team set fire to cause chaos when necessary. Although most of the Taiping people are useless, they should not be underestimated. There are also hard bones among them." Shanzhu looked around and landed on a capable person. The man in armor said: "The First Regiment should not be too eager to fight. Leave the sniping problem to their sniper squadron. Your mission is to capture the gate in Yubei, open it, and allow the other four regiments to enter. This is your mission. , it must be completed, even if you die, you will all die in the pass for me!"
"Division commander, please rest assured and resolutely complete the mission!" The capable man's eyes flashed like morning stars with a captivating light, and he stood up and answered proudly.
The moon was dark and the stars were sinking, and not even a single star could be seen in the pitch-black sky. It seemed that even God was providing cover for Shanzhu's first division. The Huashui Valley, located at the end of the eastern section of Dayunling, had completely fallen into darkness. It was silent. Outside the city walls on both sides of the valley, there were soldiers on duty listlessly coming out occasionally to show their faces. There was almost no ghost in the entire pass.
Under a cliff, several black ropes were quietly hung down, and several agile figures flashed several times in succession before floating down silently. It immediately disappeared into the surrounding darkness. After the owl's cry, countless suspension ropes suddenly dropped down. Accompanied by bursts of swishing sounds like spring silkworms foraging for food, black shadows fell from the cliff one after another. It swayed and fell down, then rolled into the darkness when it hit the ground. Occasionally, it brought up rocks and soil and fell into the silent night, which seemed particularly crisp and sweet. It was a pity that the soldiers in the pass who had been in peace for a long time were still intoxicated in their sleep at this time. I never thought that a crisis would come from this cliff.
Group after group of soldiers swarmed down from the cliff, quickly gathered into a linear team, and dived according to their respective goals.
In Yubei, the police sentry, who was so cold that he stomped his feet, put his long gun under his arm and slowly walked out of the sentry tower. He yawned, and his nose was filled with snot and tears, all of which flowed down at once. He couldn't even hold his hands. He stretched out his sleeves and wiped them, but inadvertently cast his gaze into the valley.
It seemed that he had discovered something strange. The police whistle was startled for a moment, fearing that there was something wrong with his eyes. He quickly stretched out his hand and rubbed it. After confirming that it was correct, a look of fear appeared on his face. He picked up the golden whistle and was about to Putting it in his mouth, he heard a clear "bang" sound, and the shadow of blood appeared. The police whistle covered his neck and fell down before he could even say a word. The spear under his arm fell, and the iron tip Falling on the square stone, there was a "clang" sound, which was particularly harsh in the cold night.
"Mao Er, Mao Er! What's the sound? Didn't you lose your way after drinking two more sips of cat urine? This kid, let him go out for a walk, it's fucking harder than fucking his woman, why? No sound? Where did he go?" A drake shouted rudely, "Huang Laoliu, Huang Laoliu!"
"Boss, what's wrong?" a sleepy voice replied unhappily.
"Why hasn't Mao Er come back after being out for so long?" He asked in a rude and unhappy voice, "What did you do last night? Why is this Mao Er so listless?"
"I didn't do anything, I just drank two more drinks. Mao Er is probably hungry and needs to go to the latrine, right?" Another voice replied casually.
"Fart! This kid with a bad stomach has been up for a long time. I just asked him to go out and have a look! Get up, get up for me and go out and have a look!" Although the rude man said wild words, he was not rough-hearted and was quite wary. sex.
The two figures rushed to the ground before the guards walked out of the sentry tower, and rolled to where poor Mao Er was lying. They took Mao Er's body and hid in the shadow of the city wall. Attention snipers.
A group of figures lazily wrapped up in clothes and hunched their necks emerged from the sentry tower, "Hey, where did this kid Mao Er go? Did he really fall into a latrine?"
He took a few steps forward and looked around. One of the soldiers stretched his neck and looked around. He soon noticed something unusual and exclaimed, "What is that? There is someone under the city wall!"
"Boom boom boom boom" continuous crisp sounds were heard from all directions. A group of soldiers who had just emerged from the sentry tower pressed their chests and covered their chests and fell down. But the rude man at the end knew something was wrong when he heard the sound of the strings. , violently pushed the soldier next to him forward, and he fell down on it, rolling into the sentry tower. The screams and roars immediately echoed in the sentry tower: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy has sneaked into the gate! The enemy has sneaked into the gate. Got it!"
Immediately afterwards, the piercing sound of police whistles spread from the watchtower to the surroundings. Suddenly, the barracks under the city wall immediately turned into boiling water and started to boil. The capable man waved his hand without having time to think about it, and swarmed Gaoyue soldiers. While rushing into the barracks and killing them, he ordered a group of soldiers to guard the door of the barracks tightly. The enemy soldiers must not be allowed to rush out. On the other side, two groups of soldiers had already rushed in. Go up to the checkpoint and knock open the gate of the watchtower, and start to raise the thousand-jin gate.
At the same time, flames shot up from the top of the city in Yunan, and shouts of killing went straight into the sky. "The enemy is seizing the barrier! Come for reinforcements!" "There are so many enemies! Call the reserve team!" All kinds of voices were noisy for a while. , looking at it, the intensity of the battle in Yunan seems to be far more intense than that in Yubei.
"What's going on?" After hearing the warning, the Taiping Army guard jumped up from his bed, taking the hot quilt with him to the ground, revealing his beautiful spring scenery, "Come here, what's going on? ?!”
"Report to the general! Enemy attack warnings came from the south and north of Yu at the same time!" The guard outside the door immediately replied: "The reserve team has been assembled and is waiting for your orders!"
"There is also a warning signal in Yubei? Did you hear it correctly? Where could there be any enemies over there?" The guard tied up his clothes while cursing: "This is the enemy's sound of attacking from the east to the west. He ordered the reserve team to immediately go to Yunan to close the door. They must resist. Stop the enemy's attack, I'll be there soon!"
"Yes!" the guard responded and left. The wall of Yunan City was ablaze with flames, and from time to time there were shouts of killing and a few pitiful screams. The Yunan defenders who had already surged up were looking around like headless flies to see where the adults were coming from. But except for a few fires on the city wall and crossbow arrows flying from the dark places from time to time, they did not find any enemy attacks, which puzzled the commander.
