Wild North America 1846

Chapter 94 Infiltrate
Into the night
in the US military camp

The commander, Colonel Stephen Carney, was sitting in the tent with a dejected expression, puffing on a cigar in his hand. His military uniform had the top two buttons unbuttoned, his hair was disheveled, and he was obviously in a low mood.

There were footsteps outside, Colonel Stephen Carney immediately pulled himself together, put on a calm look and looked up, Major Jamie Collins and Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence walked in one after the other. Sit down on the stool in front of him.

"How is it? Are the night checkpoints arranged?" Colonel Stephen Carney asked proactively.

Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence took off the military cap on his head and replied seriously; "Mr. Colonel, the night patrol is divided into two shifts, and we have arranged 120 guards in each shift, basically every 10 meters on the wall. Soldiers. There are at least six patrol teams in the camp patrolling uninterruptedly, and every soldier is loaded and ready to go into battle at any time. Such an arrangement is so airtight that even a piece of paper cannot be inserted.”

"Very well, Lawrence, we have suffered a great loss from the Easterners and cannot fall twice in the same place."

"Sir, we are here to discuss with you, how do the officers rotate their shifts? Are you on duty in the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"

"It's the middle of the night, I can't sleep yet."

"Okay then, I will divide the work with Major Collins. I will be on duty in the middle of the night, and Major Collins will take over from me for the period before dawn. We take turns to take a break. These days, we have been burned by the Orientals."

"Where is the carriage carriage, did you hide in the Gobi Desert as ordered?"

"Yes, Mr. Colonel, before the arrival of the Tang Kingdom's army, Major Collins had dispatched Lieutenant Henry to leave on a fast horse, intercepting the wagon convoy that was delivering supplies to us, and he must be hiding somewhere in the Gobi Desert."

"That's good, the Easterners came too fast, we were caught off guard, and now we can only pray that the reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible. Oh... by the way, how long can the supplies last?"

"Now the supply of concentrate and hay to the horses has been reduced by half, and it is estimated that it can last for 6 to 7 days. I suggest that mules and horses can be slaughtered now. First slaughter the twenty or so big green mules in the camp, which can save money. A lot of supplies."

"Then let's start tomorrow, just to improve the food for the soldiers. I know their grievances have already burst through the roof, but we must persist until the reinforcements arrive."

"Understood, sir."

After a few words, the tent fell into silence again.

now everyone knows
The American Western Expeditionary Force, which is alone, is in great danger. The logistics have been completely cut off. There are nearly 1500 horses and more than 40 carriages in the camp. .

The belt-tightening of the reserve materials can last for six or seven days, so what should we do then?
It's okay for soldiers to go without food for a day or two, but not for war horses.

If the northern reinforcements cannot arrive within a week, then the situation of this lone army will be dangerous.

In the worst case, you can only give it a go. At that time, as much as you can break through, it depends on God's will.

a few hours later

At four o'clock in the middle of the night, when the soldiers of the US Federal Army were sleeping soundly...

More than 41 meters above the Shenghuang River upstream of the US military camp, a row of [-] black shadows appeared. They were all neatly dressed elites, and followed Richard quietly into the river.

These 40 people are all water proficient players. After entering the river, they slowly floated along the current to the downstream camp.

About 30 meters away from the wall of the village, I took a deep breath, dived into the water and crossed, just like this, under the eyes of the US sentry, I entered the camp without anyone noticing.

Many people who are familiar with water know that
Especially in the dark night, the sparkling river surface is the best cover. Even if the people on the shore stand more than ten meters away, they look into the river and search carefully.

Even if the moonlight is bright, it is absolutely difficult to find people in the water.

This is because in the flowing river water, the light keeps refracting and changing, which hides its whereabouts very well. The same is true in sea water, but it cannot be done in a calm lake.

After entering the area of ​​the camp, he continued to sneak downstream for more than a hundred meters. Li Cha took the lead out of the water and easily killed two sentries in the dark under the shadow of the high hay yard.

After exchanging for the gift of spiritual vision, now the cover of night has become Li Cha's biggest reliance, as clear as day.

These two white soldiers holding their guns and sitting in the shadow of the haystacks were completely invisible to ordinary eyes, but they were invisible in Richard's spiritual vision. With the flash of the knife, their heads flew up.

Li Cha quickly checked around, but found no trace of other sentries, so he came to the river and made a gesture, and then one soldier after another emerged from the river.

Each of them carried a steel knife, and when they landed, they untied the revolvers wrapped in the oil paper bag and got ready for battle.

Most of these people were experts from the original agreement hall, led by Liu Wu and Zheng Xiaoqi, who followed Li Cha to sneak into the enemy camp and carried out this extremely risky operation.

"You guys wait a moment, wait until I have dealt with one or two patrols." Li Cha ordered in a low voice and waved his hand.

These 40 black shadows squatted one by one in the shadow of the haystack, hiding by their bodies tightly against the haystack.

At this moment

The footsteps of the US patrol could be heard. This patrol should have followed the haystacks to the river, and then continued to patrol along the river, and so on.

Six patrol teams were arranged in the entire camp, each patrol team consisted of 6 people, and patrolled the camp at night without stopping.

Unaware of the danger, the seven soldiers of the patrol, with muskets slung over their shoulders, walked along the haystacks to the river and turned one by one.

Brief dark change in vision due to haystack shadows.

At this moment, I felt a chill on my neck, and then it was broken violently, and my eyes went dark and I lost all consciousness immediately.

Li Cha was fast, and with the sharp knife in his hand, he slit the throats of these U.S. patrol soldiers who turned around, and easily dragged them down like a chicken, and at the same time broke their necks.

In his hands, the American soldiers had no power to resist.

"Come here, seven brothers, put on your clothes, and take all your weapons and equipment with you to take action. Just change your shirts. Hurry up."

Under Li Cha's order, Zheng Xiaoqi took the lead in changing into the uniform of the U.S. patrol, and then equipped all the armed belts, ammunition boxes and flintlocks, and turned into a U.S. patrol in an instant.

"Seven people loaded a group of bullets and prepared to fight. Liu Wu led people to follow me, and the others acted in camera."

Li Cha gave a short order, then turned around and walked towards the stable, the black shadow behind him immediately followed closely.

in an American camp
The stables occupied an extremely wide area, almost occupying 2/3 of the entire camp. The air was filled with the strong smell of horse manure and horse urine, and there were constant high and low neighing sounds.

Horses have the habit of eating at night, and it is inevitable that fifteen or six hundred horses and mules gather together, biting and fighting, jostling and occasionally running a few steps, making the night quite restless.

Li Cha was lurking in the night like a ghost, and he eliminated several dark sentries and grooms on duty along the way, while a group of dark shadows behind him groped towards the wall of the village.

Zheng Xiaoqi led a disguised patrol team, swaggering towards the wall on the other side, only the front three of his team had changed into U.S. military uniforms, and the four behind were still dressed in wet clothes. Holding a sharp knife and a revolver in one hand, he walked behind pretendingly.

in the dark night

As long as you don't go to a very close distance, it's hard to see any flaws.

A patrol team coming from the direction of the US military camp tent happened to walk across from Zheng Xiaoqi.

Zheng Xiaoqi is also a daring master. When the two patrols were getting closer, he even took the initiative to say hello; "Hey, buddy, did you find anything interesting?"

"Hell, I'd like to see a woman, but at least 2000 miles away." The soldier who led the US patrol replied lazily.

This night

The patrols in the camp passed by countless times, and they were too lazy to say hello. The two sides passed each other, and the US patrol continued to move forward mechanically and numbly.

"Do it."

Different from these American patrols, these people who passed by were like cheetahs poised to strike. When the leader Zheng Xiaoqi walked to the end of the opponent's team, he gave short and forceful orders.

While the soldiers of the U.S. patrol were astonished, the seven fighters attacked almost at the same time, and each of them dealt with each other. Suddenly, they stretched out their arms to wrap around the ghost's neck, and then slammed the sharp dagger into the enemy's chest.

He tried his best to control his dying struggle, and soon the seven patrol soldiers died, falling limply to the ground and dying.

one hit

Zheng Xiaoqi led the patrol team and did not stop, but stood up and continued to line up towards the wall.Their goal was to kill the sentries behind the wall and open a gap to meet the Tang Kingdom's army ambushing outside.

The walls of the U.S. military camp were built about two meters high, and a step about two feet high was built with soil on the inside. It was not wide enough to stand and shoot outside.

The U.S. sentinel in charge of security stood on the earthen platform, with his back to the camp and facing the outside for security, which gave the patrol a good opportunity to sneak attack from behind.

by this time

There was no need to worry about alarming the enemy. The people walking behind the patrol made a bold move. The sharp short blade directly pierced the American soldier's back heart, and at the same time, yanked him off the platform.

After a few soldiers were dealt with, only one American soldier let out a short scream before dying, which immediately aroused the suspicion of the nearby American sentry.

He was turning his head to look, when suddenly his back felt cold.

A sharp short blade pierced the American soldier's back, and he was torn off and fell to the ground.

His eyes turned black from the impact, and his throat and nasal cavity were blocked by gushing blood, and then his neck was cold, and a shocking big gash was cut on his neck...

Zheng Xiaoqi led the team along the wall of the village and walked forward in a grand manner. The two people in front covered it, and the five guys behind were in charge of doing it, and killed more than a dozen sentries in a row.

He sent a signal to the ambush outside the camp and got a quick response.

Outside the camp
After receiving the successful signal, the dark shadows approached quickly through the night, and set up a dozen temporary ladders on the earth wall, and then climbed over one by one...

"Ah... enemy attack..."

A shrill scream came from the night, which stunned Zheng Xiaoqi, and he immediately understood that Liu Wu's team on the other side had missed, but it was nothing serious.

Zheng Xiaoqi stabbed the back of the American sentry with his backhand, then dragged him down and wiped his neck.

His action was seen by the American soldiers in front of him, and he turned around and jumped off the platform screaming, raising his flintlock gun and preparing to shoot.

Zheng Xiaoqi yelled and rushed out. He rushed to the front of the US military in three steps and two steps. He raised his hand and pushed the long barrel of the gun away, and stabbed it fiercely.

castration inexhaustible
The two collided with each other, and the sharp short knife in Zheng Xiaoqi's hand was inserted and pulled out continuously. In a short period of time, he had stabbed seven or eight times. The American soldier rang his musket before dying.

"Pa..." A crisp gunshot pierced the night and woke up the sleeping American soldiers.
