Chapter 695: The City Changed Hands
At the spring, it is in the middle of a courtyard that occupies a large area. It is more accurate to say that it is a spring, but it is better to say that it is a well. Right next to this, there was a pond in the courtyard, which was already full of water, and it looked extremely clear. At night, a bright moon hangs upside down in the water, giving people the feeling of fishing for the moon in the water.
Tie Hu and the others came to the high wall next to the small courtyard from all directions, all of them were like light spirit foxes, without making any sound or sound. After they made a close observation on the rooftops of the surrounding houses, they noticed that in the row of houses next to the pool, dozens of breathing sounds, some light and some heavy, but most of them should have fallen asleep.
Even if Zhang Shibao said that the Tatar cavalry might poison the spring and destroy the water quality here, the Iron Tiger and they had to take all possible measures. With a single gesture, twenty team members began to divide the labor in different directions.
Some continued to monitor with their guns, some began to control the entrances to the courtyard or the exits near the springs, and some had jumped off the roofs and approached the row of huts where snorting sounds were coming from.
Team member Skinny Monkey is the most agile and is the first to come to the hut. I don't know when, there is already a weapon similar to a modern grenade in my hand, this is not an ordinary grenade, but a smoke grenade, once fired, it will emit a pungent smell, making people lose their ability to judge within a certain period of time, and lose more than seventy percent of their mobility.
The thin monkey was the first to arrive, followed by King Kong, Violent Ape and other teammates, who were guarding the door of a room, holding smoke bombs in their hands. When all of them were in place, six smoke bombs suddenly fell from the window into the six rooms with a single eye in the eyes, making a unison in the silence of the night.
"Oh... Pounce..."
"Ahh Choke..."
After about four or five seconds, there was a burst of cheers, scolding, and shouts from the room......
These sounds should have sounded like thunder in the silence of the night, but the sound of cavalry charging at the city gate muffled everything, so that the sounds from here did not attract much attention from the outside.
The fact that no one paid attention did not mean that the special operators would be soft on their work, on the contrary, their attacks began at the same time.
The pungent smell of smoke bombs made the Tatar cavalry who stayed here rush out of the room, and then there were like dumplings, one came out and was knocked unconscious, and the small six rooms actually rushed out of fifty Tatar cavalry, and in the end, except for the two who resisted violently and were slightly injured, the other forty-eight people were knocked out without even figuring out what happened.
"Search!" After controlling the situation, the team member Tiehu gave an order, and with the concerted efforts of the wolf tooth team, a large amount of poison was soon found in the room. Among them, there are many substances such as arsenic, frost, strychnine, etc., which melt into the water, and after being consumed, there will be poisoning.
It is hard to imagine that if there was no information from Xu Yunsheng, under the rash attack, the water source was destroyed, and the mercenaries did not know, what would happen to the army after drinking.
"Come, bring the two wounded and let them drink from this pool." Tie Hu was frightened and a little angry, looking at the two wounded Tatar cavalrymen, he was angry. If it weren't for the Sixth Young Master saying that too many people were needed to build a city, he would have killed him. But the death penalty can be avoided, let them taste the water, if there is a real problem, you can only blame the two for their bad lives.
There is no time to administer drugs, or there is no idea that anyone will fight them, and the pool water is naturally no problem. The two Tatar cavalrymen calmly drank the water. Seeing that everyone was safe, Tie Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the team members to be sure to watch this place, and no one was allowed to approach without an order.
In the streets of Arakhu Mabeg, the sound of killing has already resounded. As soon as the appointed time came, the cavalry assault of the reconnaissance battalion began.
The first to be attacked were the 100 Tatar cavalry who were in charge of keeping watch tonight. I thought it was an ordinary night as usual. But no one expected that suddenly an enemy appeared, and the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air came from a distance. Most of the Tatar cavalry had already been wounded by arrows before they could react. Some of the cavalry reacted quickly, and as soon as they got on their horses, they were surrounded by at least three or four scout cavalry, and they were wounded and fell off their horses under a wild slash.
Yan Da was in charge of leading a company of scouts against the main force of the Tatar cavalry, which was still sleeping. It is said that the main force is only more than 300 people, although Yan Da only has a hundred soldiers under him, but they are suddenly killed, taking advantage of a surprise first, waiting for him to launch an attack, most of them are facing an unarmed enemy, and the result of the first battle is naturally easy to win.
There is really nothing to write about in this battle, and the opponent itself is weak. If it is a strong army, it will not be arranged to defend a city of little significance. It was another surprise attack, and the battle lasted less than half an hour from the beginning to the end, and the five hundred Tatar cavalry, except for four who were killed in the fierce resistance, and thirty who were slightly wounded in the resistance, all the others survived.
From this moment the Arakhuma beggar changed hands. A shining signal flare rose into the sky, and Yang Chendong, who was waiting in the distance, led the main army to move towards Arakhuma Begging. From this day on, the city under construction will be their base camp in the north.
The 3rd Division of Leng Feng did not go to the future Shicheng with the main army, but after a good night's rest, the army suddenly retreated eastward early the next morning, heading towards the Nuer Gandusi area that had come before.
They have a new mission, opening up a new logistical supply line. But anyone who dares to threaten them on this road will eventually become their guns and swords.
Arakuma begged to change hands.
The delay in the news, coupled with the fact that none of the 500 Tatar cavalry in the city had a chance to escape, made the news completely sealed off and not spread. Outside the city, a water team sent by the Tatars appeared as promised.
At that time, aquatic grasses were still abundant in the grasslands, that is, there was no environmental pollution, and they were not exploited on a large scale because of the sparse population. To say that there is no shortage of water sources, but the water quality of the springs in the city of Arahuma is better and more delicious, so some nobles in Tatar are still very accustomed to drinking water here, so they have to take water once every half a month.
Not only is the water quality of the spring good, but the amount of water is also sufficient, and it is not known where it is connected, giving people the feeling of being inexhaustible. Each time, the convoy of water has become very large. Judging from the ambush place of the independent regiment, the number of convoys is more than 200 vehicles, which can be described as mighty and like a long dragon.
"Wow! What a huge team. With the help of the telescope, seeing the approaching convoy from a distance, the head of the regiment, Hu Mang, said with some sighs. At the same time, there was a fine light in his eyes, and he was afraid that there would not be many people coming, and it would be meaningless to fight like that.
"Report to the regiment commander, scouts report that the enemy has a total of 200 carriages, 5,000 civilians, and about 1,000 cavalry." Xin Honghai, the deputy head of the regiment, lowered his movement and came to Hu Mang's side to report.
Xin Honghai, the deputy commander of the Independent Regiment, a person from Chichicheng, went through auxiliary soldiers, Leng Feng, Leng Feng squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander, and was later favored by Yang Chendong because of his courage and calmness, and was transferred to the Independent Regiment to assist Humang's daily work.
And because of Hu Mang's multiple identities, when he is not there, Xin Honghai has always been responsible for the work in the regiment.
"Only a thousand cavalry?" The tiger mang, who was still eager to try, was like a balloon that had been deflated, and the battle intent of his whole body was reduced by half in an instant.
I thought that all the people who came were enemy horses, but I didn't expect that there were 5,000 people, so there was really no start to this battle, it was not evenly matched, and it didn't show the strength of the independent regiment, right?
This is the difference between mercenaries and other armies. Others are afraid that the opponent is too strong and it will be dangerous to fight, but on the mercenaries, they really dislike the opponent too much, and they are not too enjoyable to fight, and they can't show their own level.
There was only an opponent of a thousand cavalry, Hu Mang had a sense of excitement, and when he looked at Xin Honghai, who was extremely excited, he simply sold a favor, "Okay, Deputy Regiment Commander Xin, the command of this battle will be handed over to you, but you remember, five thousand people can't be injured, and the young master wants to build the first city, which requires a lot of manpower, and these are all good labor." ”
"Understood, please rest assured." Xin Honghai patted his chest and said with a look of assurance. Then he turned around and left, as if he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would make Hu Mang change his mind.
is no better than Hu Mang, who is the person next to Yang Chendong, and he is naturally not worried about being promoted. Xin Honghai has relied on his own efforts and abilities to get to where he is today. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is a fairly young deputy regimental officer, but even if he is born in Leng Feng, the world in his heart is much bigger than ordinary people, and his dreams are much broader.
Xin Honghai, who got the military order, immediately called the ten battalion commanders who had just been reorganized from infantry to cavalry. "The regimental commander has given me the task of fighting, and now I order that each battalion send out a hundred cavalry to attack the enemy's cavalry escort with me, and the other cavalry is responsible for guarding the waterwheels and five thousand people."
Even if the enemy only has a thousand cavalry, in order to train the ability of his brothers, of course, he will not send too many cavalry. Equal strength is a kind of exercise!
A battalion has 400 people, and only 100 people can fight, which makes the ten battalion commanders feel a little unhappy. Two of the young and vigorous battalion commanders shouted that they would send one of their own battalions up to ensure that they would be able to deal with the enemy's 1,000 cavalry.
