Attack

Author: Use your soul to aim

Attack

Before dawn, Boren left Changsheng Fort and led a small group of cavalry to Suide County. Zhang Zongxian also got up and went to the fort gate with the remaining cavalry waiting for news from Boren.

Amidst the slogans of "Grab money, snatch grain, rob women", Du Qianhu took the lead and led the cavalry straight to Changsheng Fort. Wang Qianhu also organized his troops and followed them to the county town. Master Ma led the

The baggage train came last.

The villages and towns passing by along the way ignored them and headed straight for the target. The villages and towns along the way had already received the notice from Zhang Zongxian, and every household closed their doors tightly and watched these officers and soldiers leave.

Boren's team was hurrying towards Suide County on the official road. At this time, one of the team, Ye Bushou, who was recruited by Yunong from the side wall, suddenly stopped the team.

After the team stopped, Boren was about to ask what was going on when he saw the man leaning down from his horse and pressing his ears to the ground. Then his expression changed drastically and he said:

"There are at least two thousand cavalry charging towards us two miles ahead of the battalion commander."

"What two thousand riders?"

Aren't the officers and soldiers crossing the border? Why would they waste all their strength to attack that place? They would do this when they are clearly encountering an enemy!

Boren thought it was a mistake not to listen that night, so he asked him to listen carefully again.

He felt something strange if he didn't listen that night, so he pressed his ears to the ground again. Everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing his inquiring.

When Wu Xi passed by, he stood up that night and said:

"The battalion commander heard it right, there are two thousand cavalry attacking, and we will confront them soon."

Now that it was confirmed, Boren did not hesitate to give the order to everyone:

"Go up and see what's going on. If my gesture is wrong, turn around and go back to the castle immediately."

It didn't take long before I saw the dust raised by the cavalry running on the official road in the distance.

Boren wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but Na Ye refused to hold him back:

"These cavalrymen, battalion commander, are not doing well! They didn't even raise the flag. Go back and report to the county magistrate so that I can find out their details."

After all, Boren was young and still wanted to go ahead and explore again. That night he did not stop the horse pulling Boren and said earnestly:

"Battal Commander, go back and report to the magistrate! If these cavalry are allowed to rush into the fort, it will be all over. The safety of the magistrate is important!"

Boren looked at Ye Buhuang's firm eyes and gritted his teeth and said:

"Take care of yourself"

He turned around and ran back with his men and horses.

That night, Bu took the horse to a mountain col and hid it, while he climbed up the slope and waited for the large group of cavalry to come over.

Soon the cavalry passed through the official road without stopping. A rough count of the cavalry that night did not stop, there were 1,500 riding by just now. Most of them were wearing Ming army iron helmets and cloth face armor and holding three-eyed guns.

Guns, a small number of people dressed in disorder were carrying bows and arrows.

Ye Bushou immediately understood that this was the horse bandits and the officers and soldiers coming together, and he was just about to get up.

Looking for the horse, I saw a large plume of smoke and dust on the official road in the distance.

He quickly leaned down and hid. Two quarters of an hour later, that is, half an hour later, he saw a large group of infantry marching on the official road. They were all dressed up as officers and soldiers, and there were no flags, but they were filled with murderous intent.

After taking a quick look at the number of infantrymen, Rumo didn't dare to delay holding up the infantry that night, so he mounted his horse and took a detour to Changsheng Fort.

Boren almost didn't beat his horse along the way, but he finally returned to Changsheng Fort a moment faster than those cavalry teams.

When Zhang Zongxian learned that so many cavalry teams were coming to Changsheng Fort, he immediately ordered people to close the fort gate and put the entire fort into first-level combat readiness. Weapons inspections began and military control was formalized in the fort. Everyone stayed in their respective houses and was not allowed to move around at will.

Zhang Zongxian did not listen to Boren's advice to avoid the academy, but walked to the fort gate to see who these cavalry were and what they wanted to do.

Soon, a large group of cavalry was seen emerging from the official road and heading straight for Changsheng Fort without stopping.

Changsheng Fort was built on the original site, with deep ravines on both sides. Only the main entrance has a large open space connected to the official road, and there is a small trail at the back entrance that can go down to the original site.

Changsheng Fort currently has 300 infantry troops and 200 cavalry troops.

The cavalrymen stopped a thousand steps in front of the fort, and a few cavalrymen separated from them and ran to the fort gate. They shouted loudly to the guards on the fort gate:

"We are the officers and soldiers of Suiyan Town. We are chasing the horse bandits now. Open the fort gate quickly."

Officers and soldiers of Yanshou Town? Zhang Zongxian thought to himself, let alone open the door. What if I let you in and you kill good people and take credit?

Zhang Zongxian was now hiding behind the arrow shield, and the people below could not see him. He said directly to the cavalry below:

"I am the magistrate of Qingjian County. Since you are officers and soldiers, do you have any transfer orders? What are you doing here in Qingjian County during the Chinese New Year?"

The leading 100 households below are also unambiguous.

"Reporting to the magistrate and county magistrate, we have received an order to pursue a group of horse bandits who entered the border wall. After a day of driving, the passers-by are tired and tired, so I forgot to ask the magistrate and magistrate to give me a drink of water to warm my mouth. We will never harass the people."

Chasing the horse bandits? Could it be that the poisonous scorpions are coming? It's not right! When did the officers and soldiers become so active? They also sent troops to fight during the Chinese New Year. The more Zhang Zongxian looked at these cavalry, the more he felt something was wrong.

The hundreds of households below were also sent by Du Qianhu to blow up the doors. Originally, I wanted to hold on to the loose gate of the New Year Fort and rush in directly. Now that I saw that the defense inside the fort was tight, I decided to blow up the doors if they could, or better yet, attack by force.

"Hot water is easy to come by. I will arrange for the people to boil hot water for you to hang down. There is no need to talk about entering the fort."

"The county magistrate, can some of our injured brothers who are chasing the horse bandits be sent to the fort to recuperate? I'm afraid they won't be able to last long in this freezing cold weather!"

Miss Su also came to the fort gate at this time. When she heard that there were wounded people, she wanted to persuade Zhang Zongxian to bring the wounded in. Miss Su was also a doctor who was kind-hearted and did not want to see the wounded.

Just as I was about to step forward to persuade Zhang Zongxian, I heard him.

"Give you three breaths to leave quickly, otherwise I will go to Yan'an Mansion to hold you accountable to Yanshou Town."

Seeing that Zhang Zongxian had no food and salt, the hundreds of households returned to the team and asked Du Qianhu what to do?

Du Qianhu originally thought it was just an earthen fort, and the people in the fort would be scared away when the soldiers came. Unexpectedly, this ever-victorious fort was so well-defended, and there were arrow shields on the fort wall that it was impossible to see how many people were on the wall. Guard on top.

Now that you can't make a surprise attack or blow up the door, you can only attack by force.

Then he pretended to discuss how to attack the fortress and tricked the poisonous scorpion into coming over. He also secretly arranged for his men to surround the poisonous scorpion's men.

Poisonous Scorpion brought Mr. An's staff to Du Qianhu's side. Du Qianhu said straight to the point without being polite:

"If I want Mr. An to recruit me, I have to show some skills today. Otherwise, the recruitment will be difficult!"

Poisonous Scorpion is not stupid. He wants his people to be used as cannon fodder! Of course he won't do it.

"Du Qianhu, my men are all cavalry and they are not good at attacking the city. Why don't we bring in some infantry troops?"

"Hmph, poisonous scorpion, don't be so disrespectful as hell, and quickly show me your flag. Otherwise, I'll have you stabbed first."
