Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 381

"Huo Tuozi, what time is it?"

Half lying under the eaves of a certain room, Yang Dongli, who had been closing his eyes all the time, opened his eyes, and suddenly asked such a sentence to a hunchbacked old man not far away.

The old man called Huo Tuozi was originally a watchman in Haiyang City.

Before the start of the war, Hu Biao and the others saw that this lonely old man was also quite old, and his physical health seemed to be in poor condition.

Even staying in the city won't do much.

So I arranged for this old man to retreat to Pingzhou City together with some women and children in the city.

And in the following time, they can take priority to take the warships of the Dengzhou Navy to go to Dengzhou, which is now a safe place in Yantai.

But the old man said that he was getting old now, and he didn't want to leave his hometown and be a ghost before he died.

So I stayed, and I could help Hu Biao and others during the day.

In addition to helping with the fire and cooking, and doing some things within his ability; more importantly, because he is a watchman, he has an old antique clepsydra that can time the clock.

Under his careful supervision, it can be said that everyone in the city can know the relatively accurate time.

So, after hearing Yang Dongli's voice, Huo Tuozi didn't even need to look at his drip pot, he just answered directly:

"Yang Yuhou, it's time to be ugly~"

It's a quarter of the ugly hour, which is [-]:[-] midnight.

After hearing such an answer, Yang Dongli, AT, Yu Hanfeng, Lao Hei, Wu Zuo, and 20 other soldiers in the Xuan Ge Battalion.

There were a total of 25 operatives dressed as Jurchens. One counted as one of them. They all opened their eyes and sat up straight from the previous state of closing their eyes to rest their minds.

Because according to their breakout plan, it has come to such a point in time.

It's time for everyone in their team to officially start their actions.

"Old Hu, let's go~" After getting up, Yang Dongli said something to Hu Biao who was not far away when he was finally arranging his armor.

After hearing the words, Hu Biao got up and wanted to say something after nodding his head.

For example, brothers, be careful all the way, and must come back alive.

But everyone knows that with a mere 25 people, it is not only necessary to successfully get into the camp of the Jurchens all the way, but also to create enough disturbance and chaos to hold back these people's pursuit of the breakout troops. .

It is extremely difficult to accomplish the above points.

Even after trying hard to complete it, it is impossible to escape under the heavy siege of the Jurchens.

In short, there were 25 people in their group, when they accepted this task, they were already doomed to be a group of dead men who never returned.

It was this kind of cognition that made Hu Biao not know what to say for a while.

Obviously the words came to his lips, but he forcibly suppressed them, and finally turned into a voice "hmm~" from the nasal cavity.

The same is true for other people in the city.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only silently watch these people who helped them leave at the cost of their own lives.

But before leaving, seeing the inexplicably heavy atmosphere, Yu Hanfeng rolled his eyes and began to work.

Facing Yang Dongli beside him, he asked:
"Old Yang, where are we going now?"

"Jurchen camp, cut off the dog's head of Wanyan Loushi~" After Yang Dongli opened his mouth, he easily caught such an old stalk.

Yu Hanfeng: "If you never come back~"

Yang Dongli: "I'll never come back~"

After finishing speaking, he made a cross-hand salute to everyone, and took the lead in striding towards the south wall; Lao Hei, AT, Yu Hanfeng, Wu Zu and others did the same one by one.

After saluting and saying goodbye as easily as going to a banquet next time, he followed Yang Dongli's pace.

As a result, the soldiers and civilians who survived in the city, even after many years.

I still clearly remember Yang Dongli, Marquis of Xuange Camp, and his group plunged headlong into the darkness, the backs of the extremely free and unrestrained and heroic...

******
A few minutes later, Hu Biao withdrew his gaze from the direction Yang Dongli and his party had left, in the darkness where they could not see anything now.

Taking a deep breath in his mouth, he calmed down the routine that those guys pretended to be in his head, and he actually got a little emotional.

It was Yue Fei, Niu Gao and others who were silently looking at the south, and solemnly said:

"All the soldiers and civilians in the city listened to the order and acted immediately, ready to go at any time.

Be careful with the movements of your hands and feet; lest the Jurchens outside the city hear the movement and take precautions in advance, letting them die in vain~"

Under such an order from Hu Biao, everyone took orders one after another.

Soon after, as long as the people in the city still had some mobility, they all started to work as lightly as possible after doing their best.

First, they pulled all the war horses they had out of the stables one by one.

Thanks to the Xuange Battalion led by Hu Biao, when they came all the way from the Song Dynasty, they reached the luxury configuration of one man and two horses; in the subsequent night attack on Haiyang City, more than 300 horses were captured.

As a result, the number of war horses on hand by Hu Biao and the others immediately reached an astonishing 1326 horses.

On the contrary, after a large number of soldiers and civilians in the city were killed in battle, as long as the wounded were counted, there were only 1106 people.

Is it time to break through now? It has completely reached the situation where everyone can have a horse.

What needs to be explained is that no matter whether it is a war horse seized from the Liao soldiers Yuantan Yanzima or a Jurchen horse, they are all good horses without exception.

Endurance, weight, speed, these aspects of quality are numbered.

If it is transported to the territory of the Song Dynasty for sale, the value of each horse will be more than a hundred guan; this is also one of the biggest confidences in Hu Biao's heart for the breakout operation tonight.

As long as the horse is fast, it will be able to forcibly rush past the obstruction of the Jurchen cavalry and leave the pursuers behind.

For the confidence to break through this time, everyone brushed them carefully, and then fed them some high-quality soybean meal and water.

It is about [-]% to [-]% full, so that these war horses can have a certain reserve, and at the same time, they will not be too full, which will affect the speed of subsequent running.

After feeding, he didn't forget to stuff a wooden stick into the horse's mouth to prevent them from barking, attracting the attention of opponents outside the city, and knowing their breakout actions in advance.

After taking care of the horse queen who is more important than people.

Every member of staff began to be busy, and put various armors on their bodies one after another.

A large part of these armors came from the soldiers and civilians who died in battle, or from Liao soldiers and Jurchens.

So not only is it covered with blood, but even because of the rush of time, many of the gaps on it are too late to repair.

But no matter how filthy and tattered these armors are, they can provide them with some protection after wearing them. It can be said to be quite important in tonight's breakout operation.

After putting on the armor, everyone carried shields and even pot lids behind their backs.

Only then did they hang bows and arrows, knives, and long knives on their bodies.

Soon after, everyone became fully armed.

It's just that at such a time, everyone still felt a little inadequate, and carried a burden of about five or six catties directly behind their backs.

In fact, there is nothing rare or valuable in this burden.

There are only about three catties of steamed buns and pancakes, some wound medicine, salt, needles and thread, copper coins and so on.

The reason why there is such a burden is that Hu Biao is worried that if someone escapes during the breakout process, he will flee to the huge Yanshan Mountains.

As long as he fled into Yanshan Mountain, he could survive with these materials.

In the end, after preparing all the armor, weapons, and supplies, the last thing Hu Biao and the others did was to put the wounded on the horses one by one, and tied them tightly to the horses with ropes.

no way!Although counting, they have not fought for two consecutive days.

However, the injuries of many wounded are still far from being fully recovered.

Under such a situation, if these people did not adopt the method of being tied to the horseback in this way, they might fall off the horseback soon when they broke out.

As for the wounded, the only thing that can be thankful is.

The plague caused by Gram bacteria, after everyone drank a large bowl of soup every few hours, it seemed that the infection had been brought under control.

Even after one day passed, many people who were diagnosed showed considerable improvement in symptoms.

In short, this is the case, after Yang Dongli and the others left the city; everyone in the city was under the order of Hu Biao, and they were ready in case Yang Dongli and his actions were discovered.

You can get on the horse immediately, and prepare for a forced breakout in advance.

Of course, if the actions of Yang Dongli and others go well, it will naturally be the best result...
