Chapter 59
But Qin Ming, after listening to Ding Zhixian's "suggestion", decided to go up the mountain at night to attack and seize the stronghold.

Since you can't resist, you can only make up for it as much as possible, find ways to increase the winning rate of this battle, and reduce the risk of being ambushed in a sneak attack.

After Qin Ming complained to Ding Zhixian, he abandoned Ding Zhixian and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Ding Zhixian didn't have any objections to this, after all, it was also good for his meritorious service.

The days were short in winter. After the officers and soldiers had finished their dinner, as soon as it got dark, they immediately received orders to go to bed immediately.

The veterans in the army immediately understood that there was going to be a big battle tonight. Either the enemy was coming to attack the camp, or they were going to sneak attack.

The troops only took a short nap. At the first watch, everyone was awakened and began to line up outside their tents.

Qin Ming ordered 2000 men and horses, took their weapons and equipment, and prepared to go up the mountain. The rest stayed in the military camp.

The mountain is narrow. This time we are going to steal a camp. We can't bring too many people, otherwise we will definitely be discovered by the sentries.

If even 2000 people can't steal the fortress, then there's no point in bringing more people. They have to go head-to-head. It's better to simply withdraw the troops and lead a full-scale attack during the day.

The moon and stars are sparse tonight, so there is no need for a torch, as there is less chance of being discovered.

Qin Ming personally led this group of people and slowly walked up the mountain road bit by bit. Fortunately, the mountain road here was not steep or dangerous, it had never snowed, the road was not slippery, and no hands were damaged.

Although the cottage also arranged secret sentries, they were too amateurish and far inferior to those veterans of the army who had survived many years of fighting on the battlefield.

Before the large army went up the mountain, the scout team had already set off, and silently pulled out all the eyes inserted in front of the stronghold.

By the time of the second watch, Qin Ming and others had arrived in the dense forest in front of the main entrance of Yushan Village and hid quietly.

After Qin Ming lay down, he began to look carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. On the contrary, he was a little lucky that Ding Zhixian had carefully arranged things in the village.

In front of Yushan Village is a large piece of flat ground. The original trees here have been cut down by their roots, and you can see everything at a glance.

If the army advances further, it will be easily discovered by the guards in front of the village gate.

In particular, Li Gui asked people to occasionally light a few torches in the open space in front of the village. Even if the sky was cloudy, night lighting was indispensable.

If the torch is about to burn out, soldiers will come over in advance to replace it with a new one to ensure that the line of sight is not affected.

Moreover, the size of this piece of ground is not square, but trapezoidal. The closer to the village gate, the wider the area, and vice versa. The excess area is filled with all kinds of sharp rocks, and cold water is poured on it, and the ice is scattered. , it is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to stand on it and fight.

Of course Qin Ming could see that this kind of terrain was specially designed and prepared specifically for battlefield fighting.

If the two armies fight in the square, the copycat side can invest more troops than the official army, and naturally it will take a big advantage.

Moreover, the length of this square happens to be within a stone's throw. As long as an army steps on this flat land, it will be within the shooting range of the archers on the wall.

The rebel army was at a higher position and had a longer range, so the officers and soldiers below could only be shot at and found it difficult to fight back.

Yushan originally had no natural dangers, but it was artificially created into a good place for defense.

Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly sigh, this thief is really confident. He has always been unable to defend the defensive side and relied on fortifications to take advantage.But the thieves here actually designed a battlefield in front of the village gate. They clearly planned to go out of the city to fight. They were obviously quite confident in their own force.

He looked towards the top of the city in the distance, and could vaguely see the lantern hanging above the village gate, as well as the shadowy guard behind it.

According to Ding Zhixian, if the detailed operations are successful, you will see a fire in the village and the city gate will be wide open. At that time, you only need to go directly in.

Qin Ming originally disapproved of this approach in the romance novel, but now he had to shoot the arrow and could only hope that the detailed work would be successful.

At the third watch of the day, everything in the village was still calm and there was no sound.

Now that it was cold, lying on the ground felt like clinging to ice. The soldiers behind him were already a little agitated. Qin Ming was furious and glanced back. He immediately silenced everyone and did not dare to move at all.

After waiting for a while, suddenly a red light pierced the night sky in the village, and then the door of Yushan Village in front suddenly opened. Several people rushed out from the door, threw a few corpses to the side, waved to this side and shouted:

"The gate of the village is open, attack quickly!" At this moment, Qin Ming did not care about distinguishing the true from the false. He jumped up, raised the mace high, and shouted:

"Generals, listen to the order and follow me to seize the door!"

"One battalion enters first, and the rest form an array outside the door!"

The soldiers who had been lying in the forest for more than an hour were already tired of it. They immediately agreed in unison, picked up their weapons, and rushed towards the gate of the village.

Qin Ming took the lead and rushed to the gate of the village. He saw a few corpses on the ground. They were indeed dead, and they were covered in blood. They had obviously died just now. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they were indeed village thieves.

He felt a little relieved, but when he turned around to look for the craftsmen, they were nowhere to be seen, and he immediately became nervous again.

At this moment, a battalion of men and horses had already rushed into the stronghold, so they didn't think much about it. They held a mace in one hand and stood in front of the stronghold gate. They poked their heads inward and waited for confirmation that it was not a trap before they went in with a killing spree. .

Unexpectedly, when the people in the village saw that he refused to take the bait, they stopped waiting. A huge door suddenly landed behind the door, blocking the village door tightly. At the same time, drums sounded, shouting for death.

"Oops! I fell into a trap!"

Qin Ming shouted and hurriedly led his army to retreat.

Originally, only one battalion was ordered to enter the stronghold, which was a response after discussion among all the armies to prevent falling into a trap and annihilating the entire army.

It is said that victory or defeat is a normal matter for military strategists. As long as Qin Ming, the coach, does not have any problems, a little damage is not a big problem.

As for the sergeants of that battalion, they can only be punished and receive compensation.

The soldiers had been notified long ago, and now they did not panic when they saw the ambush. Under the leadership of generals at all levels, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Just when the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, a voice suddenly came from above the village wall.

"The general has come a long way, are you leaving now?"

Qin Ming raised his eyes and saw clearly under the moonlight that it was Li Gui, the leader of the Yushan bandit's stronghold.

Qin Ming was so angry that he flew into a rage. He pointed at Li Gui on the city and cursed:

"That thief!"

"This time I think you have won one. Wait until tomorrow, when I come to suppress the bandits again, I will cut your body into thousands of pieces to pay homage to the fallen soldiers!"

"Why bother tomorrow? Grandpa will come to capture you tonight!"

Li Gui roared, holding a big ax, jumped down from the city wall, crashed to the ground, then strode towards Qin Ming and launched a charge.

As Li Gui launched his attack, arrows rained down from the wall, covering the officers and soldiers.
