Chapter 246: Eye-opening
The night was still long, and the killing continued. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A few years ago, when Amin was alive, in order to be able to protect himself when his strength was insufficient, Chen Xin made a suggestion, that is, to build the Tianmo Reservoir near Tianmo and the Shuifeng Reservoir in Shuifeng Lake.
These two reservoirs, one east and one west, cover the entire lower reaches of the Yalu River, store water in the wet season, and wait until winter to open the gates to release water to prevent the Yalu River from freezing, so that the Xuanjun can also take advantage of the natural dangers of the Yalu River in winter and obtain a situation favorable to themselves.
Although Amin is dead and Ahn Buyang has staged a coup d'Γ©tat, the two reservoirs built with the lives of hundreds of thousands of North Koreans have begun to play their role.
Last winter, when Sukh Saha led an army of 120,000 to prepare for a crusade against Chen Xin, a Houjin cavalry of several thousand men also wanted to raid the hinterland of the Xuan army through the ice on the Yalu River.
At that time, the ice surface that looked solid was actually not completely frozen under the abundant water, and when the enemy's forward sentry reached the center of the river, he opened his mouth and swallowed up all a dozen sentry spies at once, successfully stopping the enemy's sneak attack.
Later, in order to ensure the safety of the two reservoirs, so that they could operate for a long time, and carry forward the naval superiority of the Xuan army, Chen Xin specially sent a militia unit to be stationed in the two places to prevent the enemy from sabotage.
Just at the moment when Chen Xin continued to mobilize the forces of absolute trust in various places to launch tonight's encirclement and suppression operation, near Shuifeng Lake, a group of cavalry stepped on the snow and kept approaching this temporary forbidden area.
In the vicinity of the Shuifeng Reservoir, there is a group of mountains centered on a peak with a maximum altitude of 1,470 meters, which was originally a gathering place for a group of bandits, but later, under the blows of the Xuan army, these bandits fled one after another, leaving behind a series of dilapidated cottages that no one cared for.
At the edge of the mountain, at the foot of a hill more than 300 meters above sea level, the cavalry marched rapidly. As long as the person who is a little more well-informed, he can know from the huge horseshoe prints and the back of the war horse that can be faintly seen in the darkness that is more than one person high, this is the supreme commander of the Xuan Army, General Yuan Zhenguo, and one of the most trusted tiger camps around Grandpa Chen Xin.
The war horse that this cavalry rode was tall and strong, and it was simply not like a thing in the world, and the countryside was called "Dragon Horse".
As long as you are not blind, you know how terrifying the power of this "dragon horse" is. Although he has not participated in actual combat, no one dares to underestimate this "dragon horse" cavalry team.
This cavalry team came to the foot of the mountain, and the officer at the head waved his hand and made sign language, if there is an outsider here and still holding a torch, he will definitely laugh loudly when he sees the officer's practice, and in the dark night, he can't see his five fingers, and he plays sign language? What about funny?
However, as if they had really seen it, the tigers who followed behind all stopped and carried out the order.
One of the tiger ben turned on the fire fold and blew it up, then turned around the arc a few times in front and back, and then waited quietly.
After a while, a dark shadow came out of the grass not far away, came to the cavalry and saluted, "I want Si Linghuan when I get off the plane, this is a token." β
The leading officer returned a salute: "Tiger camp Lin Yi." After taking the token and examining it carefully, after confirming that it was correct, he asked again, "Where is the old knife handle?" β
This group of people came to Huishan's bandit old knife.
Ling Huan took back the token, he didn't need to check the other party's token, the dozens of "dragon horses" opposite were the best identification.
He glanced at "Ryoma" enviously, and then explained, "I followed the old knife handle all the way from Huishan to here, and five days ago they found an abandoned bandit village on this mountain, which was temporarily used as a shelter. β
Lin Yi, a cavalry officer, frowned when he heard this, and was a little suspicious of the purpose of these people staying here: "Why do they live here?" Don't [pests] value their strength? Why not arrange them to be more secluded? β
Ling Huan explained seriously, "[Pest] really attaches great importance to them, and even got a part of the two-year-old arquebus from our army's combat readiness warehouse and distributed it to this group of bandits, but [Pest] is unwilling to attract our attention before all the personnel arrive, so they didn't bring the people with the old knife to the people." After all, the temperament of these bandits is too remarkable, and our confidential division is not a decoration. β
Lin Yi nodded, "I understand." β
"Do you need a break? I found a cave not far away, able to light a fire and cook without being discovered by the people on the mountain. β
"No need, we'll make a quick decision, and we'll have to go back quickly when we're done."
Ling Huan heard the words of the cavalry officer, and immediately persuaded, "Fight quickly? I don't agree, the enemy is a bandit for many years, and now he is also equipped with our army's two-year-old arquebus, and it is very likely that it is equipped with the latest pointed bullets, which shoot condescendingly, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. I think you should be steady. β
Lin Yi smiled: "Don't worry. I know it. β
Ling Huan no longer persuaded him, as a tiger ben, he knew that since the other party said so, then there must be no problem, between the tiger and the ben, there is no need to come to the void.
Lin Yi waved his hand again, and the team immediately divided into three groups, each choosing a direction and surrounding the mountain peak.
After everyone exercised in place and sent a predetermined night owl-like signal with ventriloquism, Lin Yi also issued a special command with the sound of a night owl.
One person from each group came out and lit the torch he was carrying, and then faced everyone, stood in front of everyone, and raised the torch flat.
The others all picked up their strong bows, drew an arrow from their hands, and placed it on the torch, and the head of the arrow wrapped in flammable material was instantly ignited.
All the archers stretched their bows and arrows, and sent the rocket up the mountain in the form of a projectile, and with the light that streaked through the air, everyone adjusted the angle of the projectile again, and then launched.
After three rounds, hundreds of rockets ignited the dilapidated cottage on the top of the mountain, and the fire slowly brightened and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
At first, there were a few screams from inside the cottage, but soon, all the sounds disappeared, and several breaths passed, and no one put out the fire.
Lin Yi's eyes stared at the figures on the mountain that were occasionally exposed to the firelight and the barrel of the gun reflecting the cold light, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "These gangs of bandits are a little interesting." β
Ling Huan was standing on the side, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but interject, "What you said about a quick battle is that you want to burn them to death?" β
Lin Yi glanced at the other party as if he was looking at a fool, "On the top of an empty mountain, burn hundreds of enemies to death?" Are you stupid, or am I stupid. β
Ling Huan's face turned red, and then he retorted, "Then what are you going to do now?" The enemy has all been awakened, and the defenses have been arranged, waiting for you to lead the attack. β
"Who said I'm going to attack with someone?"
"Huh? Don't attack it? So how do you do it quickly? β
"Hehe, today opened your eyes."
