Chapter 119 Night Battle

It was the darkest time before dawn that Forestry led a team to quietly pass through the forest, and along the valley, around the hills in front, and arrived at the foot of the stone mountain where the troops of Guangyuanzhou were stationed. During the day, Forestry and Peng Dalang had already clearly viewed the terrain, climbed halfway up the selected path to the hillside, and asked everyone to cover up.

Sun Qilang looked at him from time to time while walking until he turned around and couldn't see the way he came.

The yellow dog followed him closely, and he was still following him when he set off just now. No matter what Sun Qilang did, he couldn't shake it off. It was not until Peng Sanlang pressed his waist and glared fiercely, and then he squatted down honestly.

Sun Qilang was also surprised. When Peng Sanlang was in the army, he didn't know what he was doing. He was full of murderous aura when he started to attack. He was afraid of watching him, but he didn't expect that even animals were afraid of this evil person.

The firelight reflected in the cave was the guiding light. Several teams that came first came here and quietly approached with the help of darkness.

A bird cry broke the tranquility of the night sky. Two barbarians guarding the entrance of the cave woke up from their sleepy state. They looked around and said, "What kind of bird screamed in the middle of the night?"

Another muttered: "Will the night owl scream in the middle of the night still scream during the day?"

After saying that, the two of them shrank again, leaned against the big rock behind them, and closed their eyes.

After less than a cup of tea, two figures appeared behind the two, covering their mouths and ending their lives with one knife.

The people hiding in the darkness around him saw it and waited silently for a few breaths. Seeing that there was no movement at all, they were convinced that the only two sentries guarding outside were the only ones, and they stood up to cover the entrance of the cave.

The two men who touched the posts waved to their companions and stood at the entrance of the cave one left and one right.

Forestry whispered to his team. They took out a white cloth and wrapped it around their arms. They entered the cave with the other teams.

The cave is very tall and dry, and there is no one at the entrance. It turns out that the barbarians inside thought the cave entrance was windy at night, and they all squeezed into it. It was much more comfortable to have a cold or hot inside.

At this time, the bonfire in the cave was not extinguished, and the torch still had a faint light. With this light, everyone touched the cave and came to the depths of the cave.

I saw soldiers from Guangyuanzhou in the cave stumbled around. Here and there, one sleeping on the ground. Some people were wrapped in blankets, while others were wrapped in snatched bedding. Among these soldiers were the captured mountain barbarians, tied together by ropes, and sat or lying on the cold ground.

Following the black shadows that could not be illuminated by the fire in the mountain wall, the soldiers entering the cave went all the way to the deepest part of the cave, behind the huge stone stalactites, or in the uneven small holes, and covered their bodies one after another.

Sun Qilang lay down behind a stalagmites. He couldn't help but stretch his head out to see that the guards had already fallen asleep. There were all kinds of people caught. They were tied up here, and they ate and drank, and even drowning were in place. Their bodies were filthy and some were already half dead.

Sun Qilang swept through the situation in the cave and sighed in his heart. It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times. What the ancients said really makes sense. The people in the cave are even worse than the yellow dogs outside.

For some reason, Sun Qilang felt a look at him and looked at him according to his feelings. He saw a woman who couldn't see anything, covered in blood, and looked at him with countless tortures. She was tilted to the ground, with her eyes looking at him.

The woman's hair was spread apart, and she didn't know whether she was whipped or twitched on her face. She had half of her swollen face, and she couldn't tell how she looked. She only had a pair of eyes that were particularly bright. She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but just aimed at Sun Qilang, making him feel nervous.

After forcibly calming down, Sun Qilang comforted himself. The woman was half dead. I thought she was just facing this side, so she didn't know how to look at people.

At this moment, the remaining troops from the Taiping Army rushed in from outside with torches. When they entered the cave, they shouted, breaking the tranquility of the black.

The barbarian soldiers who were sleeping were awakened by the sound and jumped up from the ground one after another. No matter what was around them, there were swords and guns, and some just grabbed a wooden stick and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

The Taiping Army people came prepared and were used to training. How could these barbarians be opponents? But in a short while, they rushed into the middle of the cave and fought with the barbarians.

There were about one hundred barbarian soldiers in the cave, and only more than fifty soldiers rushed in. They killed them in a difficult situation and entangled in the middle of the cave.

In the open space at the bottom of the cave, a middle-aged man got up and shouted loudly: "Why is it messing up all of a sudden? The killing from Bozhou has just arrived? Come with me to fight out!"

While saying that, he jumped up from the stone, grabbed the steel knife leaning beside him, and kicked the person beside him: "What are you rubbing! Come out and kill!"

As he said that, he rushed out of the cave with the last greeting man.

Seeing that all the barbarians in the cave had rushed out to fight, a whistle sounded, and the Taiping soldiers hiding in the shadow rushed out suddenly, bypassing the barbarians in the mountains of Bozhou that were tied up on the ground, blocking the people from Guangyuanzhou in the middle of the cave.

Lin Ye whispered to Sun Qilang who was following behind him: "Brother Qi, follow me closely, without eyes, be careful to hurt myself!"

Sun Qilang shook the steel knife in his hand: "Brother Xie Lin is kind! But with the officials in Zhongmu, I also practiced swords and guns, and Sang Xiucai also gave me some advice. I also received the reward for killing the thief that night. If Lu Song had not been lucky, he might not have been today."

Linye didn't know what happened to Zhongmu, but just said in a deep voice: "Brother Seventh just follow me!"

As he said that, he rushed forward, raised his steel knife and slashed a barbarian on the back, chopped him to the ground, and rushed forward with his teeth gritted.

Sun Qilang caught up from behind, but he slashed another person's shoulder with a knife. He felt the blade penetrated into the flesh, and took the opportunity to force it, pulled out the steel knife, and greeted Lin Ye: "Brother Lin, your knife is wrong. Did you see me like this? He was hurt and hard, and he used little force!"

Linye shook his head secretly. At this time, Sun Qilang still had the intention to say this.

Sun Qilang was in a hurry, but they were surprised. They attacked each other on both sides, using secret attacks to attack the light and cut melons and vegetables.

All the officers and soldiers who came from Taiping had white cloth wrapped around their arms, and could recognize their own people at a glance. Just cut their heads and slash them, and they would not hurt their own people. The barbarians could not understand them for a moment. They could only see the shadows of people in the firelight, but could not recognize them, and they shrank their hands and feet.

Sun Qilang kept slashing his sword in the east and west, and said, "Brother Lin. I tell you, this was the method taught by the officials back then, and it was extremely useful! The officials said that cutting slanted is more labor-saving than cutting directly. If you cut down, you will save effort than cutting straight. Brother Lin, why don't you try?"

Lin Ye said in a deep voice: "Brother Qi, when is it now? You are almost shut up, what do you have to go back and say!"

Only then did Sun Qilang notice that a barbarian turned around when he listened to the sound. He was already well-behaved and was just a little proud just now. He hurriedly closed his mouth and stabbed it with a knife.

The reason I just mentioned was indeed what Xu Ping taught his subordinates in Zhongmu. Xu Ping did not understand the fighting between swords and guns, but no one in the world understood the principle of cutting and cutting, but no one in the world understood the principle of cutting and cutting. His major in his previous life was the most labor-intensive. The tangent was the most labor-intensive, and the slanted cutting saved 20% of labor-intensive cutting, and the slip-intensive cutting was 20% more labor-intensive than the slanted cutting. This was studied by Xu Ping's experts in his previous life to make harvesters. Until the Soviet experts obtained reliable empirical data, where in this world specialized in researching this problem? He would learn to cut wheat with a sickle soon after he started to use it. No one deliberately thought about why it was like this. People naturally learned the most labor-intensive method.

When the shopkeeper was training, Xu Ping specially popularized this theory. When the shopkeeper chopped people, he should not chop at the bones, and should not chop them straight down. After the meat was inserted, he also practiced Sun Qilang.

The battle did not last long. Although the number of people was roughly the same, the officers and soldiers came prepared and had already planned the battle process. Their combat power was much stronger than that of the opponent, and the battle process was one-sided.

Du Lian kicked the dead body beside his feet and shouted loudly: "Each team counts its own number, and all casualties will report to me! Also, bring all those who are not dead to the fire!"

Deputy Head Chen Anzhang whispered: "There is no need to gather the captives, just ask the leader, and the others will be killed here. When they get there, they will be seen by the fire, and the barbarians in the mountains will not look good."

Du Lian nodded and whispered: "Which leader is theirs? Have you found it?"

It turned out that the middle-aged man who was sleeping at the bottom of the cave was kicked out: "This is the leader, the surname Nong, and he must have a relationship with the Nong family in Guangyuanzhou!"

Du Lian grabbed the middle-aged man's clothes on his back, held it in his hand and strode towards the fire, saying, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can cook the body and it's dawn!"

The officers and soldiers understood it, so they took advantage of the night to kill the remaining soldiers in Guangyuanzhou on the ground. This was not that the officers and soldiers were ruthless, but that they were traveling far away from the rear to fight. It was impossible for them to bring prisoners, and it was even more impossible to put these people back. They could only kill them to relieve the future troubles.

Du Lian threw the middle-aged man on the ground in front of the fire, stepped on his chest and asked sternly: "What's your name? Where did you come from? What's your duty in Guangyuanzhou?"

The middle-aged man was injured on his leg and was trampled by Du Lian and said viciously: "Zhi Niang, it turns out that you are not the cubs of Bozhou! Who are they?"

"We are all subordinates of the Taiping Army, and the imperial soldiers are here to help Bozhou pacify the place! You burn, kill, loot and disturb the place. How can the imperial court accommodate you? Tell me who you are?"

"Grandpa doesn't change his name or his surname. Zhen'an Dongnong Tianming is the same!"

Du Lian was too lazy to pay attention to his attitude, and just asked, "Are you Zhidong in Zhen'andong?"

"Zhidong is my uncle, and I am the general of Zhen'andong!"

Du Lian spat: "I thought I had caught some big shot, but it turned out to be just a miscellaneous fish!"

After saying that, he was too lazy to pay attention to the general of Zhen'andong. He called him down and quietly took him out of the cave to bear his life. Naturally, these more than a hundred people could not have all come from Zhen'andong. He must have gathered some small villages and caves to keep in charge of Du Lian, and he would probably be able to report it when he went back.

At this time, the sun had just poked its head out, sprinkling red lights in the sky to conflict with the darkness, and the warm sunlight shot into the cave from outside the cave. The cool breeze in the morning blew with the sun with a fresh breath, diluting the bloody smell in the cave.
