Volume 3, Ming Dynasty Resurrection Chapter 29 Thunder Alarm
The wind blew the forests and undulating, making rustling sounds. A crescent moon hung in the air. In the valley, the waterfalls still made rustling sounds. Under the hazy moonlight, black dots squirmed like ants. These black dots quickly merged into a long dragon and meandered towards the outside of the valley.
This is naturally the 14,000 Manchu and Mongolian army led by Mandahai. They worked hard in the valley for more than half a month and are finally going out. Yue Le led his beloved horse at the forefront. Behind him were the five thousand most elite white-armored soldiers. Now it is the beginning of the moon. Yue color can only make people barely see things that are several meters away. Just to keep it secret, the entire team did not ignite a torch.
All the war horses were covered with bridles and wrapped their hooves with thick cloth. There was only a slight rustling sound when tens of thousands of war horses walked. As they walked, the branches on both sides of the road were trampled and snapped, and the silent night was spread far away, but they were immediately covered by the whirling sound of trees.
The distance of five or six miles can be said to be very close. If you are galloping during the day, you will not even take half a stick of incense. You will only lead the horse to walk at night, and you are worried that it will make a sound to alarm the Ming army. The Qing army walked up and down very patiently, and it took almost half an hour to reach the periphery of a forest.
"Master Beile, you can see the Ming army's camp through this forest." A Qing army scout said in a low voice.
Yue Le looked up at the forest. The forest that was so close to him was like a monster lying on the ground, as if he was opening his mouth wide and was waiting to swallow them in one bite. The forest was not deep, only a few hundred meters, but these hundreds of meters determined their success or failure. Once too many birds or wild beasts were alarmed, it would undoubtedly cause Ming army sentries to appear at the foot of the mountain.
"Send the order, everyone is careful not to disturb the birds." Although he had already explained it countless times before leaving, Yue Le couldn't help but explain it again.
"Yes, Mr. Bell." Several Goshha responded and turned his head to pass it behind him.
More than a dozen Goshhas entered the forest first. If the moonlight outside could be used outside, the whole forest would be completely dim. The white-armored soldiers walking in front of them occasionally hit the tree, but no one cried out for pain. However, the team inevitably became slower.
"Quagua." Although the crowd was extremely careful, as the number of people entering the woods increased, the birds were still inevitably alarmed. Several large birds woke up from the trees and flew into the air and shouted.
All the people stopped automatically without waiting for the order. Their hearts were beating and accelerating. Several big birds circled and counted. The sound just now disappeared. In the end, it still did not fly up and landed in the original place.
Yue Le wiped his cold sweat and whispered: "Keep going!"
The rustling sound rang again. The people continued to stumble in the forest. However, they were much more cautious than before. They basically had to touch them with their hands. After being alarmed, the big birds might have been used to the rustling sound. Perhaps they felt that they were not in danger and did not fly up again.
However, there were obviously more than one group of big birds in the forest. From time to time, a few frightened birds would fly up. Every time, all the people would hold their voices together and wait until the birds fell before they dared to move forward. This was less than five hundred meters away. The Qing army spent almost no less time than the previous five miles.
Yue Le came out of the forest and bathed in the moonlight again. He felt extremely friendly. Although he was protected by Goshha, his clothes were still scratched and there were a few scorching scars on his face.
After leaving the forest, the Ming army and the military camps were already in sight. There were bonfires everywhere in the distance. The huge army camps were lying quietly two or three miles away from them. Except for the occasional black shadows walking back and forth, the entire army camp was silent. They rushed down. Just rush down and smashed the fences of the Ming army's periphery. They could get a refreshing victory.
"Shu Muer, do you think the fake dog emperor is really below?"
"Of course, many brothers in the scout camp have heard of the large umbrellas of the earthy yellow umbrellas and the dragon flags on them."
"Haha, it would be great if I caught the pseudo-Ming Emperor. That would be nine futures. If I can't catch the living place, I will die, and there will be eight futures." The white-armored soldier spoke with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he had already captured the Ming Emperor. Not only did he enjoy the supreme glory, but he also became a superior official and suddenly became a superior person.
"Hana, you dreamed that even if the pseudo-Ming Emperor was caught, it would not be your turn for more than 10,000 people."
"Shumuer, can't you let me have a dream?" Hana complained.
"Hana, it's better to be realistic. The Ming dogs below are not as easy to deal with as the Ming dogs before. Their firearms are so powerful. I just need to cut off the heads of a few more Ming dogs and make a future." Shu Muer is obviously more realistic than Hana.
"What are you afraid of? Firearms can only exert power during the day, and at night they are like blinding their eyes. As long as they approach their bodies, these Mingdogs who only know how to use firearms will probably be immediately
, let us kill, this time I can't catch the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, at least two futures." Hana seemed to have seen the Ming army running wildly.
"Don't talk, keep quiet." After a companion's reminder, the two stopped whispering.
The Ming army camp was below. Yue Le ordered an attack without impulse. Another long wait was made. After all the five thousand white-armored soldiers left the woods, Yue Le waved his arms gently and the five thousand people quietly approached the army camp below.
Gao Jie suddenly felt frightened and woke up from his sleep. He had never led troops since he had separated from his subordinates for several years. This time he was with the army as the deputy chief of staff. It would be impossible to say that Gao Jie had no complaints. However, his nephew Li Benshen was still in the army, and his eldest son also entered the Yulin Guard. Now he is a guerrilla general. Gao Jie's own title has been promoted from Xingping Bo to Xingping Marquis. It can be said that the emperor did not treat the Gao family with slightest grievances, so Gao Jie had to suppress his grievances and give advice to the emperor with all his heart.
As soon as he woke up from his sleep, Gao Jie immediately felt that there was a danger approaching. This premonition was completely because he had been developing his experience on the battlefield for twenty years. He could no longer sleep. He immediately lifted the quilt and got up as quickly as possible to dress. After a while, Gao Jie was already standing outside the tent in military uniform.
Several hidden sentries came out of the darkness and saw that it was Gao Jie and quickly saluted: "Marquis."
"Is there any movement?"
Several sentries shook their heads: "Go back to the marquis, no."
"Strange, where does this dangerous feeling come from?" Gao Jie was puzzled. There were 30,000 Yulin Guards here, and their combat power was more than 300,000 subordinates he led before. Could there be anyone who dared to attack this army unless it was a sneak attack or something. Gao Jie's eyes lit up. Looking outside the camp, Baoling Mountain in the distance was like a huge black shadow lying across. The night wind blew, and the trees were dancing, as if countless enemies were rushing towards the camp.
Gao Jie was shocked and was about to shout, and immediately realized that this was just his own illusion. Those enemies were just trees. How could it be possible without enemies? Gao Jie always believed in his premonition. It was this premonition that allowed him to escape several sneak attacks from the enemy and avoid the end of defeat. If he was the commander now, he would definitely immediately order the army to prepare for the enemy once he felt dangerous. But now, although he is a marquis, he does not even have an army. Unless he alarms the entire army, he will not be able to prepare in advance.
Gao Jie hesitated. If the entire army was alarmed, if there was a false alarm, he would be greatly disappointed. Moreover, he could not think of any danger to such a strict guard against the camp. Perhaps he had been distracted from the battle formation for a long time and was worried. He shook his head and was about to go back to bed when a loud noise like thunder came hundreds of meters outside the camp, alarming the entire barracks.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" The sentry who was on guard jumped and asked in surprise. The explosion just now was obviously a landmine buried by the Yulin Guard. There were not many landmines buried by the Yulin Guard, and there were less than a thousand in total. It mainly serves as an early warning function. When the camp starts tomorrow, the mines will be dug up and taken away. When camping in front, there will be wild beasts that touch the mine and explode. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that a landmine explosion will require an enemy.
However, the next explosion immediately dispelled everyone's luck, and all the sentries shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Where are enemies, where are the enemies?
"Many Yulin Guards muttered a few times and wanted to fall asleep in a daze. No wonder they were not alert. Along the way, the Qing army basically fled in sight and did not resist at all. In addition, it was the most thirsty time to sleep, and everyone was in a relaxed mood, so naturally they would not expect an enemy to attack.
"!" A sharp whistle sounded, and the entire barracks were filled with the sound of whistles. When the whistle was heard, all the Yulin Guards rolled on a carp and jumped up from the bed. This whistle was used by the Yulin Guards every day when they woke up, and no one dared to delay.
The explosions outside were still ringing, and the Qing army was also unlucky. They just stepped on the middle of a small minefield, causing firecrackers one after another.
"Get on the horse!" At this time, Yue Le didn't care about hiding, and even if there was a sea of swords and fire in front of him, he would have to break over with his subordinates.
Chapter completed!
