1767: Neither are vegetarians
Looking up to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, it seems not very far away, but it is enough to be exhausted when you walk. Although there is a built road from the foot of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain, this team cannot go up the mountain brightly along this road, so they can only choose a steeper and rugged place to move forward.
The violent snow and snow effectively hid their whereabouts, but it also made them more difficult. Min Qi, the secretary and the logistics officer, took the lead, holding a knife in his hand and waded the road ahead step by step. The snow covered everything and buried some hidden dangers under the white snow. If you are not careful, serious consequences may occur.
The three of them had high martial arts cultivation and acted as the vanguard of the way. The soldiers behind them connected each other with ropes and walked towards the top of the mountain with difficulty.
The physical exhaustion was far greater than the previous estimate, so that after they had to move forward for a while, they stopped to rest. The wind and snow on the mountain were much more violent than at the foot of the mountain. Even though they had chosen a slope that looked leeward, the damn wind direction was unstable, and it was sometimes east and sometimes west.
The wind and snow are charming. Even if there are less than two hundred people, the head and tail are gone. You can only rely on ropes that connect each other to determine the direction of your progress.
At the fourth update, Min Qi looked at Panlong Village with fire shining in the wind and snow, and lay on the snow. As the pioneer of the way, he, the secretary and the logistics officer, paid a greater price. Even with their martial arts cultivation, he felt extremely tired at this time.
"The original attack time will be slightly delayed." Min Qi glanced at the soldiers who were a little embarrassed. At this time, they were all lying on the ground like dead dogs, not even looking at the strength to stand up. "Tell everyone, in half an hour, we can only have half an hour to rest. Now hurry up and eat something and accumulate energy. Before dawn, we must seize this fortress. Otherwise, we will be in great trouble."
"I understand." The logistics officer nodded, got up and walked backward, conveying the last time of the attack to all the soldiers.
How could the mountain be a nine-ren mountain fail? Fortunately, after Fan Chang was picked up from Taoyuan Station, the devil's journey of hundreds of miles was tempered not only their bodies, but also their mood. After all, they suffered too many blows along the way.
The soldiers silently took out the frozen jerky, stuffed it into their mouths and teared it hard, and then took a few bites and squeezed it into their mouths.
At this time, they need to replenish their physical strength, even if they just use one more knife.
Time slipped away one by one, and Min Qi, who had recovered some vitality, sat around the clerk and the logistics officer.
"We two took the lead, touched the village wall, then put down the hook rope, and hung everyone up." The clerk looked at the logistics officer and said.
Min Qi looked at Panlong Village with vague lights in the wind and snow. "I don't know what the alert is there?"
"With such heavy snow and cold weather, aren't they lying in the village to sleep soundly?" The logistics officer was very relaxed.
Min Qi snorted: "If you were guarding Panlong Village, in such weather, would you also hide in the house and sleep?"
The logistics officer was stunned and shook his head: "Of course it is impossible. Our Ming Dynasty military discipline is so strict. I don't want to lose my head because of this! That's a shameful thing for our ancestors."
"Then why do you think that the people of Qi will sleep heavily without caring about military discipline?" Min Qi asked back.
The logistics officer was stunned.
"The General once told me that our Ming army now has a general contempt for the Qi people, which is undesirable. You are from Yuejing City, and I didn't expect that you would have the same view as you." Min Qi continued.
The logistics officer nodded and clasped his fists and said, "I've been taught. If I can go back alive this time, I will definitely tell my colleagues what you said."
Min Qi smiled.
"Prepare to attack!"
He did not accept the words of the logistics officer, and the logistics officer did not continue. Obviously, both of them felt that they had little hope of returning home alive. Attacking Panlong Village was just to turn themselves into a target. And this was originally something they did deliberately.
The three of them stood up and hugged each other. The logistics officer and the clerk rushed into the wind and snow with a short body. Min Qi turned around and waved, and followed closely with the others.
Between the several ups and downs, the secretary and logistics officer were only a few dozen meters away from Panlong Village. At this moment, the wind suddenly changed, and the two people lying on the snow immediately saw the situation in Panlong Village.
"It's true that Min Qi said." Looking at the burning fires in Panlong Village and the slowly moving figures, the logistics officer took a breath. "It's so damn that I didn't go to sleep even if I was in such a damn weather!"
"The border army of Qi is still very powerful." The clerk whispered: "Fan Chang is considered a good general, but look at his scars."
"I'm not talking about this, but military discipline." The logistics officer shook his head: "This kind of military discipline is no different from our Ming army, right? But this has caused us a lot of trouble. How can we touch it?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult!" The clerk silently calculated the distance between the patrol teams. The key was that in addition to the patrol team, there were four fixed posts in four corners. At those four positions, they basically put all four walls in their eyes.
The two of them have very high martial arts cultivation, but it is impossible for Panlong Village to jump up all at once. What's more, in this stormy and snowy day, just by looking at the shiny light reflected on the wall, you can clearly know that the other party was spilling water on the wall.
"There is a guy sleeping in that corner." The logistics officer poked the clerk, "You climbed up slowly from that corner, and as long as you go up, you can take the opportunity to go up from another aspect and pick up the others."
The secretary opened his mouth, and the logistics officer waved at him: "Don't make a living, our cultivation is similar, but I can kill people more than you. I have more experience in fighting than you."
"Be careful." The clerk knew the severity of the matter and did not argue anymore.
The logistics officer smiled at him, lay on the ground, squirming like a snake, sliding towards Panlong Village. The white cloak on his body blocked him. Not to mention such a night, even during the day, it would be difficult to detect.
The clerk watched him slowly climb to the corner, watched his fingers embedded deep into the thick ice, and let out a long sigh.
These ice layers are a great obstacle for ordinary soldiers, but at this moment, it makes it easier for logistics officers to climb upwards. If they are all thick cement coatings, it will be even more difficult to leverage.
The secretary was happy, and the logistics officer was secretly happy. He tried his best to raise his head and stared at the guy who could see his head sleeping little by little in this direction. As long as he climbed up halfway, even if he could find himself, he would be sure to jump up.
Step by step, climbing forward for up to two meters can reach the point you expect. The logistics officer was secretly happy, and his fingers poked out and embedded them deeply into the ice layer. The other hand followed closely. There was a sense of foreign objects in the palm of the tentacles. He was shocked and his hand clasped tightly.
Oh no! These two words flashed through his mind, and the alarm sounded suddenly sounded loudly in the Panlong Village.
The ringtone does not seem to be very loud in the wind and snow weather, but the problem is that these alarm bells not only sound above the city wall, but also inside the village.
In an instant, Panlongzhai, who was not angry just now, suddenly came alive.
The secretary's face changed drastically. Neither he nor the logistics officer expected that Qi Ren had set up a fine line connecting the alarm bell in the half-crossing place of the fortress. Under such weather conditions, unless you know it, it would be impossible to avoid it.
The sleeping soldier suddenly woke up and jumped up. He was experienced, not looking down, but raised his shield as soon as he lifted the shield. As soon as the shield was raised, there was a loud bang. A short dagger that the logistics officer threw out was deeply stuck on his shield, shocking him to the point of tilting backwards and falling onto the city with all his backs.
"Enemy attack!" He fell to the ground, shouting like he was still torn to his throat, lay on the ground, and stabbed the spear hard towards the direction where the dagger had just flew.
The logistics officer who had just jumped onto the city wall held a knife in his hand and slashed the flying spear, but the person was blocked.
Seeing several Qi soldiers stabbing at him with long spears, the logistics officer sighed. The Qi border army was indeed extremely elite. The reaction of this ordinary soldier just now was already amazing. In just two short moments, he blocked the dagger he had thrown out, threw out the spear in his hand, and blocked himself slightly. Don't underestimate this short moment, it is enough to bring the Qi army back to his senses.
While several spears stabbed, several Qi troops rushed over behind them. Two rows in front and back, three in front and four in the back, but a small lineup had already formed. Even the logistics officer could not repel them in a short time. Standing on the battlements, he had already seen a brisk Qi officer rushing towards him.
"Kill!" Even though there was no possibility of another sneak attack, the logistics officer still did not hesitate for a moment. He waved the sword in his hand, jumped down the wall, and rushed towards Qi army.
The secretary took a deep breath and was about to take a step forward. When his arm was tightened, he was pulled by someone. When he looked back, it was Min Qi.
"Use grenades to open the city gate." Min Qi whispered.
“Use it now?”
"In such weather, even if there is a sound, it won't be far away." Min Qi said, "What if the sound is heard? Do they know what it is? Otherwise, we will not be able to take Panlong Village. Can you still expect these new recruits to break through them."
