Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 59 Ambush in the River Valley ([-])

Zhao Xin got up at two o'clock in the night.Wash your face, brush your teeth, make coffee.

After such a toss, Liu Sheng, who was sleeping on the second floor of the car, also got up.Liu Sheng actually didn't fall asleep, and the excitement before the battle made him lie on the bed and "turn over the pie" back and forth.

After Sheng Haizhou and the others left yesterday, Zhao Xin finally asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time.

"Tell me the truth, Comrade Liu. Did you kill someone when you were a soldier?"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.He used to fire warning shots when he was on missions at sea.

"Yes, it's all spicy chicken." Zhao Xin, who got the answer, thought so.

At this time, Zhao Xin finished his coffee and began to disassemble the guns to do pre-war maintenance.Liu Sheng saw that it was still early, so let's come together.

In order to ease the tension, Liu Sheng oiled the gun and told an anecdote he had heard when he was a soldier: "Don't look at many people who haven't touched a gun, but if you really want to give him a gun, you can't hit a target. Hit someone but hit a target."

"And this allusion? Who said it?"

"The old soldier said it."

"Then you mean that Sheng Haizhou and the other seven are all sharpshooters?"

"Jiuzang is not bad, other people are just like that."

After maintaining the pistol and assault rifle, the two removed the muzzle flash suppressor and installed a silencer.Then, start reloading the magazine.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Xin, who was afraid of running out of ammunition, prepared six magazines for himself and Liu Sheng each, and four for the pistol, and this guy also kept a box full of rifle ammunition in his backpack.

Zhao Xin also put two first aid kits in his backpack, a single-hole ranging telescope and a small tripod, a pack of compressed biscuits, two bottles of water, and a few pieces of chocolate.Before going out, he took another small hand axe and inserted it into his backpack.

When Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng came out of the car wearing bulletproof helmets, their bloated looks startled everyone waiting outside the door and took a breath.

People who have never seen Zhao Xin dressed like this, bowed back in fright.

"Are you all ready?" Zhao Xin's voice was muffled behind the helmet.

"Master (Master), everything is ready." Sheng Haizhou and Lu Shoushan said separately.

"Set off."

"The master will win!!!" Zhi Nai, Wan Zao's wife and a group of men, women and children suddenly shouted at Zhao Xin's back.

"Nima..." Zhao Xin, who was caught off guard, was startled by the shouts of the people behind him, and suddenly slapped his foot.

Liu Sheng, who was on the side, couldn't help but dare not laugh. In order to maintain the glorious image of Lord Zhao, he was really struggling, so he had to pretend to cough a few times.

……

At the second quarter of the morning (six o'clock in the morning), after Tomohogo got up, Goshha had prepared his face wash and green salt for him to wash.

All the armored soldiers have already got up and packed up.The bannermen cooked a large pot of corn for breakfast before departure, and the horses were also fed fodder.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, the leaders of the following teams came to report, everyone is ready, please order.

"Have the marching orders been reiterated?" Tomohogo said without raising his head, holding a water bowl.

"Yes. I've already said it." The leader, who was kneeling on the ground, cupped his hands and answered.

"Let's go then." Tomohogo took the helmet from Gosh'ha.

The difference from other people's helmets is that the top of his helmet (that is, the "lightning rod") is a black otter tail hair, which hangs down and the black hair canopy, and then the lower helmet plate seat and the front and rear beams are mounted on it. Decorated with silver cloud dragon pattern.

As for the top of the helmet of the leader, it is a small gourd; and the tip of the helmet of ordinary armored soldiers is a small spear point.There are black fur caps below, but there is no decorative decoration.

Tomohoguo is inlaid with yellow flags and collars, so he and his [-] armored soldiers wear yellow foam nail cotton armor, and the edge of the armor is wrapped with red cloth strips.And on his own cotton armor, there is a picture of a group python embroidered on his chest, back and shoulders.

Following his order, the sound of armored horses' hooves resounded in the camp, and one hundred armored soldiers led their horses out of the camp in order of each team. Guided by the sentry, they mounted their horses and headed south.

At the moment of Chenzheng (07:30), the brigade began to cross the ice surface of the strait in batches, preparing to land on Xiong Island.

Less than an hour later, Tomohogo had led all the armored soldiers to stand on the beach of Bear Island.

At this moment, on the edge of the woods, a leading pennant swayed a few times, and two sentry riders rode out from the woods.

The two walked to Tomohoguo, dismounted from their horses and knelt down on one knee: "Sir, a hundred paces away in the forest, we found two damaged wooden sheds. The ashes from the bonfire in the sheds are still warm. I think it's the fugitive prisoner waiting to see our army. Came from the ice and fled to the island."

"Well." Tomohogo nodded and said to Goshha next to him, "Go and have a look."

A group of people waited under the guidance of the sentry, entered the forest, and came to the damaged wooden shed.

Tomohogo is very good at archery, so his eyes are poisonous, and he can see the wire tied to the scattered wood at a glance.He squatted down, stretched out his hand and pulled out a section, and squeezed his fingers hard, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh? This iron is in such good condition!" Tomohogo stood up and looked south. "Who the hell are those people doing business on the island?"

"My lord, the traces of the fugitives have been found. Their sledges have passed through the ice and headed south!" An armored soldier arrived on horseback, and before he got off his horse, he shouted hurriedly a few dozen paces away.

"Chase!" Tomohoguo got on his horse and took out a big bow from a gao (gao, the same pitch. A throwing bag with bows and arrows).The armored soldiers also mounted their horses, and with Lord Zuo Ling as the center, they spread out into an array of wild goose wings and chased to the south.

Lu Shoushan and Elu, before seeing the armored soldiers coming from the opposite side of the ice, began to tear down the wooden shed and extinguish the fire in the wooden shed, creating the illusion that they quickly fled south when the officers and soldiers arrived.

These two are a foolish pair.Lu Shoushan asked Elu to park the horse-drawn sledge on the south side of the northern bay in Bear Island, waiting for the Qing soldiers to discover them.As a result, when the flags in the opposite forest swayed and dozens of armored soldiers rushed out on horseback, the two still didn't leave.

Lu Shoushan stood on the beach, put his hands together and scolded the other side in Chinese, "The officers and soldiers of the dog days! I am your ancestor! Come on!"

When Elu saw Lu Shoushan shouting at the opposite side, he guessed in his heart that he was swearing, and immediately followed Lu Shoushan's way, and shouted at the opposite side.

The scolding of the two echoed in the winter wilderness, and clearly reached the ears of the armored soldiers.After the group of armored soldiers heard it, several of them immediately cursed at the opposite side.

At this time, the weather was windless, and one of the leaders dipped a little saliva on his hand and tried the wind direction.Then he sneered, dismounted from his horse and took out a bow and a red tail feathered Sauron whistle arrow, took a few steps forward, estimated the distance a little, raised his hand and raised his body and it was an arrow.

A sharp and crisp whistling sound rose from the beach on the north shore, and when it was still six hundred paces from the opposite shore, it stuck on the ice.

"Okay!" The armored soldiers around him cheered loudly.

This leader has strong arms and used a 130-pound recurve bow. His arrow was thrown nearly 400 meters.It is said that the ancient army fired arrows to scare the enemy and indicate the direction and distance of the attack.

"You two lead a team to wait here and monitor the movement on the south bank." Tomohogo ordered the two leaders around him. "The rest are there, get off the horse! Lead the horse over there!"

On the north bank, two teams of 20 people were left behind; the remaining [-] armored soldiers, led by Tomohogo, all dismounted and walked towards the ice.

When Lu Shoushan saw that the officers and soldiers had already led the horse to the ice, he was about to come over, and then he patted Lu on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.The two got on the sledge and headed for the river valley to the south.

The ambush location chosen by Liu Sheng is located at the mouth of a river valley.At the northeast end of the bell mouth, the tall rocks on both sides compress the entire river channel into a channel of only 20 meters wide and 30 meters long; after passing here and going southwest, the field of vision suddenly widens, and there are low rocks on both sides and dry bushes.

When the horse-drawn sledge passed through the horn mouth, Lu Shoushan first waved vigorously to the bushes on both sides, and then patted Erlu on the shoulder.Erlu understood, and then slowly tightened the reins, and the horse finally stopped more than 200 meters away.

The two got off the sledge, and Hengji ran out from behind the rocks on the shore, took the whip in Elu's hand, and drove the sledge to the southwest.

After Sheng Haizhou and the others saw Lu Shoushan waving, everyone immediately got up from the dug snow pit.Carrying several plastic buckets full of cooking oil, they walked to the bushes behind them and spilled the oil on bundles of hay and dead branches that had been tied up.

Seeing that it was almost done, Sheng Haizhou gave an order, and everyone took empty buckets and returned to their respective snow pits to hide, and covered them with camouflage made of dead branches and snow.

At this time, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were 50 meters southwest of Sheng Haizhou's hiding place and 200 meters away from the center of the river.

Zhao Xin was lying alone in the grass on the slope of the bank, and put his rifle on his backpack, aiming the muzzle in the direction of the bell mouth; Liu Sheng was ambushing in the grass on the other side.After discussion, the two decided that Liu Sheng would shoot the first shot.

"Lao Liu Lao Liu, I'll let you fight whichever you want later. Finished."

"Got it. Stop talking. Done."

At this moment, Zhao Xin put a LEUPOLD tactical single-hole ranging telescope on a low tripod and connected it to his mobile phone.That way he wouldn't have to put the gun down and hold the binoculars to observe.This kind of telescope is actually specially used for hunting, with a maximum field of view of 910 meters and a magnification of 20-60 times.

Three or ten minutes later, the sound of horseshoes came from the side of the horn, and the Qing soldiers came.

Zhao Xin looked at the phone and saw that walking in the forefront was a ten-person team led by a leader, and the armored soldiers behind held the leader's pennant high.Immediately afterward, there were two other teams, each holding the leader's flag.The three teams finished their fonts and moved forward slowly.

Behind the three leading squads, an armored soldier marching on horseback held a large apricot-yellow pentagon flag high. The edge of the flag was wrapped with red cloth strips, and there was no pattern on the flag.

Behind a high-headed horse, a general dressed in a distinctly different form from the armored soldiers came out slowly.Behind them are dozens of armored soldiers on horses, and next to these armored soldiers are more than a dozen war horses that are not ridden, and they seem to be spares.

"Yo, it's all inlaid with yellow flags." Zhao Xin muttered.

Zhao Xin moved the telescope and focused on the general.

I saw that the general said something to the person next to him, and then the pentagonal flag moved a little in the direction of the team, and the pennants of each team immediately echoed and moved forward.The entire team slowly came towards Zhao Xin and the others.

Through the distance readings of the telescope, Zhao Xin saw that the general with the yellow flag had walked 300 meters away from him, and he immediately pressed the walkie-talkie.

"Old Liu, did you see the guy with the short black hair on the helmet? It's behind the yellow flag. Done."

Liu Sheng moved the scope and searched before and after Zuoling the banner.

"Is that the guy with the pattern on his chest? Done."

"Yes, the guy with dragons embroidered on his chest and shoulders. Finished." Zhao Xin had never seen the python pattern, he thought it was the dragon pattern.

"No problem. Done."

To be honest, Liu Sheng is also very nervous, after all, this is the first time he has shot someone.Before performing escort missions in the Middle East, the most serious one was just a warning shot, and a few shots were fired at the opponent's bow.

However, there was a hint of excitement in his nervousness.In other words, I can finally beat people, and I don't have to take legal responsibility.

But he forgot that if he was caught in this time and space, it would be late...
