When the day was about to dawn, there was fog in the mountains, and the white mist rolled along the slope in clusters.

At the sentry post on the ridge, the embers of the bonfire were not extinguished, and the remnants of the fire were still burning beepping, and six old soldiers sat around the fire, with bows and knives at hand; In the distance, the outline of the camp became more and more blurred in the early morning fog.

"Old Wen, when do you think this day is the head?" The young man with a mole on his lips sat by the campfire, turned his elbow outward, and pushed against a middle-aged man beside him, his eyes were full of confusion when he looked at the campfire.

The middle-aged man died about forty years old, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as tree bark, and his eyes were not bright, and if he hadn't given the young man a top waist, he would have almost dozed off in the fatigue of the early morning.

Lao Wen rubbed his face and muttered: "When you are a soldier and eat food, it doesn't matter when your mother is a head!" What the hell do you want to do so much, and you still want to go home and marry a big girl to warm the bed? He stood up and stretched his feet, and woke up all the people who were dozing by the campfire, "Go down and walk, and don't let anyone touch the mountain!" "In another half an hour, the group of them will be able to sleep soundly in the hut in the rock nest below, and the others will come to the ridge to keep watch.

"Barren mountains and mountains, there is a ghost who touches it, Wen Mazi, you have become more and more bold over the years!" At the beginning of March, it was warm and cold, the wind on the ridge was strong, the fog was rising, and the humidity was heavy, walking along the ridge, the clothes could wet the fog, who was happy to leave the campfire and walk around? A few of the old soldiers yelled and refused to move.

Wen Mazi kicked them one by one, and the other old pawns couldn't get annoyed, so they stood up scolding.

The old soldiers went to patrol with knives and guns, and Wen Mazi sat down in front of the fire again, holding a branch to stir the residual fire.

As a soldier from Fujian, he has only been sent to the head of the flag for more than ten years, Wen Mazi is indeed not promising, and now he is also sent to serve as a patrol post on the periphery.

The veterans who enlisted in the army in the early years, there were those who fought bravely and were promoted to battalion generals, but most of them died on the battlefield, Wen Mazi didn't think much about the future, he just wanted to exterminate the kiln in the valley, get the reward, and return to Fuliang City, and go into the kiln to find a young woman with a fat butt and white breasts to have a good time.

Speaking of this kiln thief in Qimen, he was originally a potter in Qimen, and he made a living by burning kilns for generations.

Because of the heavy taxes and servitude levied by the luxury family, the kiln workers of Qimen rebelled in the first half of the first month and killed the kiln officials and tax collectors sent to Qimen by the luxury family, and gathered three to five hundred people into the mountains to serve as cowards, and once cut off the contact between Qimen and the counties of eastern Gansu, which used to call this group of bandits kiln thieves.

Seeing the kiln thieves getting happier and happier, in late January, under the order of Luxury Wenzhuang, the soldiers and horses of Fuliang, Yongshan, Duchang, Qimen and other counties in eastern Jiangxi gathered and went into the mountains to encircle and suppress the kiln thieves.

After being caught in the deep mountains and mountains for more than a month, the thieves were finally forced to besiege the thieves in Chengziling, which is at the intersection of Qimen and Fuliang, in late February.

Chengzi Ridge, the shape is like its name, the ridge mountain is like the city, the mountain is steep and steep, it is difficult to climb, and there is a broken head valley hidden in the middle.

Zhejiang-Fujian army gathered the soldiers and horses of Fuliang counties, opened a big net around the Chengziling, the kiln thieves had nothing to do except hide in the Guillotine Valley, but the Guillotine Valley, the valley was deep and the mouth was small, the terrain was dangerous, and there were remnants of the village at the mouth of the valley.

The kiln thieves occupied the remnants of the valley and blocked the mouth into the valley, and although the soldiers and horses of Fuliang counties had the advantage in troops, they could only occupy the hills on the periphery of the Chengziling first, and slowly figure it out. Now the two thousand soldiers and horses of the luxury family have pushed their foot formations outside the valley, and they are waiting for everything to be ready to exterminate the kiln thieves in the valley in one fell swoop.

Although the kiln thieves were all besieged in the Guillotine Valley, the generals of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army who were responsible for commanding the troops were worried that the local wealthy clans in Qimen, Fuliang, Yongshan and other counties had bad intentions, so they stationed their camps outside the Guillotine Valley and set up patrols in the peripheral mountains and mountains.

The patrol post under Wen Mazi's jurisdiction is on the outskirts of Chengziling, and at least until the early hours of this morning, everything seems to be normal.

Wen Mazi sat in front of the bonfire and thought wildly, the fog gradually became heavier, and he could only see twenty or thirty paces away.

Not only was there no trace of the camp in the distance, but the few old soldiers who went down the mountain to patrol the sentry were completely covered by the fog, and only the mountain wind whistled from the treetops and ridges in the distance.

I don't know how long it took, the sky was completely bright, but the vision was covered by the fog, and the patrol who took over the guard did not come up the mountain for a long time.

While he was thinking wildly, there was a muffled sound from the foot of the mountain, as if a man had stumbled into a ditch and broken his neck. Wen Mazi vigilantly picked up the knife in his hand and shouted down the mountain: "What a dog!" What a dog! I didn't respond for a long time, I only heard the sound of small noises all around, as if many people were climbing towards the mountain here, Wen Mazi wanted to be bad.

With such a big fog, lighting the beacon smoke will not make the camp see it in time, Wen Mazi put the bamboo sentry in his mouth, picked up the knife in his hand, and ran in the direction of the camp. As soon as Wen Mazi ran down the mountain, several men came out of the fog and slashed head-on.

Wen Mazi only had time to blow the bamboo whistle in his mouth twice to warn, and cut his arm to the big knife that came from the left and right, and when he dodged, he lost his footing and rolled down the steep and dangerous slope - Wen Mazi was also blessed with great fortune, and rolled down from the dangerous slope, and did not say that his head hit the roots of the tree or the mountain rock and was seriously injured, except for the cut on the arm, the whole body even had very few abrasions.

At this time, Wen Mazi could hear the sound of the fog breaking like a flood crossing between the distant mountains, although he didn't know where this army of soldiers and horses came from, but there were a lot of people and horses, I was afraid that there were thousands of people, and they were taking advantage of the cover of the fog to kill the camp outside the mouth of the Chengziling valley......

Wen Mazi is not a selfless and self-sacrificing person, knowing that there is a big enemy attacking the camp, where can he dare to run in the direction of the camp? After all these years, I was tired of fighting, but I couldn't see where the head was, and I was desperate, and now I ran to the west foot of Chengziling, which was more deserted.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army that entered the city to encircle and suppress set up many sentry posts on the periphery, but they were pulled out one after another in the dense fog. Some sentry posts lit beacon fires in time, but when they got closer, they could see the fire and black smoke coming out of the fog; More often than not, the long and short whistles sounded, so that the battalion could not figure out how many enemy soldiers were coming. In the fog, it was difficult to discern the direction of the attack, and the guard Tian Weiye did not dare to rush out to meet the battle, but just asked people to guard the thin fence wall.

*****************

Yu Wencheng accompanied Hu Qiaozhong to climb up the ridge on the north side of Chengziling, the fog was very thick, except for the soldiers and horses near the ridge, it was difficult to see far away, but relying on the familiarity with the terrain of Chengziling, the herald shuttled back and forth in the dense fog, so that Hu Qiaozhong and Yu Wencheng could more accurately grasp the movement of the soldiers and horses of the Zhudu team.

Hearing that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops did not dare to go out of the camp to intercept, Yu Wencheng knew that the battle was halfway through.

The kiln thieves led by Wu Jingze lured the 2,000 Zhejiang-Fujian troops into this city, the most dangerous place in the valley mouth, and Wu Jingze led the kiln thieves to occupy, and the place where the Zhejiang-Fujian army was stationed in the periphery of the valley mouth, was a low-lying trumpet mouth.

There are only 12 out of 12 veterans in this Zhejiang-Fujian army, and more new soldiers recruited from the local government after entering Jiangxi serve as local guards - Yu Wencheng and they have already found out the situation of this Zhejiang-Fujian army through the secret room they infiltrated.

This Zhejiang-Fujian army was very contemptuous of the kiln thieves trapped in the Broken Valley, and was limited to the shortage of materials at hand, and the camp was quite sloppy.

It was inconvenient to ride a horse in the dense fog, so he and Hu Qiaozhong quickly walked to the front of the formation, and through the fog, they faintly saw the shadow of the enemy camp.

This side is ready to attack, and a rushing car is also pulled into the mountain. The soldiers of the two capital teams attacked as the first echelon, and the sentry generals, the commanders of the guards, the banner heads, and the heads of the troops below were all Jiangxi veterans sent by the privy submarines and born in the Eastern Fujian Army, and the people who participated in the resistance to the rebels in the eastern Jiangxi region hid in the deep mountains for three or four months.

The rush car frame on the four-wheeled axle, than a dozen people carrying a huge log to hit the fence wall is much more convenient, the rush car also has a shield, more than a dozen soldiers hide behind it, close to the enemy camp, they push the rush car together, the fence wall is crumbling for the first time......

Yu Wencheng also put on his helmet, and when he heard that the enemy camp had been knocked out of the gap, he personally led the soldiers and horses of the second echelon to catch up, and attacked through the gap, like a sharp blade, tearing apart the enemy troops who rushed to the gap to intercept, and led the soldiers and horses to attack the enemy camp deeply.

Yu Wencheng took advantage of the fact that before the enemy army could figure out the situation, he wanted to beat it with a stick, and he wanted to tear his camp to pieces at once, and he could not organize a decent counterattack.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army that camped in Gukou to encircle the nest kiln thieves had too few old pawns and too many new pawns.

Attacked on the back and abdomen, guarding behind the camp fence, the new pawn can still be led by the old pawn, archery resistance, but the strong attack of the people and horses are all in armor, once the camp fence to break through the gap, there are armor pawns rushing in, the new pawn began to be unable to suppress the position.

Even if they are afraid of the harsh laws and disciplines, and there are old pawns scattered among them to supervise the battle, the new pawns do not dare to flee for a while, but their mouths are dry and irritable, their hands and feet are weak, and they can't form a dense formation on the inside of the crowded fence camp, which one can flexibly step forward to fight?

The first line of the defenders who blocked the gap was crushed, and the attacking enemy was called in, and the camp was in chaos, and in the rolling mist, only the attacking enemy could be faintly seen chasing the defenders.

The guard general Tian Weiye wanted to cry without tears, he was a descendant of the Tian family, he has never been taken seriously, and before the capture of Yuling Pass last year, he was just a capital head. When capturing Huizhou and Liyang, Tian Weiye was transferred from central Fujian to the north with his troops, and he made meritorious contributions one after another and was promoted to deputy battalion general. After retreating to Jiangzhou, Tian Weiye was promoted to the captain of Fuliang City at once, and took more than 100 troops to Fuliang to recruit Jianyong, and for a time he had nearly 1,000 troops under his command.

In the past, it could also be ranked in the Zhejiang and Fujian army, Tian Weiye also wanted to make a few more military exploits, and he should be a general, who would have thought that the first time he led the troops to fight alone, he would face the disaster of overthrowing?

In the face of the imminent collapse of the camp, Tian Weiye could only personally lead the troops to rush over to plug the gap, he could judge that the number of people attacking the enemy would not be too much, as long as he could stabilize the position in time and hold until the fog receded, he might not be able to recover the defeat.

Tian Weiye's soldiers, like him, are all veterans who have fought in many bloody battles, Tian Weiye personally went into battle, and indeed contained the attacking enemy from the main road in the camp and the momentum was like a bamboo. It's just that at this time, a big gap was also made in the left wing fence, and another wave of armor soldiers poured in, coming from the left flank.

Seeing that the general situation was irreversible, Tian Weiye was unwilling to completely stir into the enemy soldiers, surrounded by the enemy, and led dozens of troops to break through and escape from the right flank and take advantage of the fog to break through......
