Chapter 1723 Ambush in the Renzi Scroll

  Song Zhibao immediately became nervous.

  Give Liu Baishan a gesture, and the two immediately dispersed, and followed the agreed route, one left and one right sneaked towards the Four Seas Governance in front.

In fact, this distance is not considered stealth. There is no one in the surrounding wilderness. It is full of rugged and broken mountains and rocks mixed with withered grass and shrubs. Just run along the established route without worrying about being discovered by others, or even if you find it. It doesn't matter, they are not afraid to meet anyone in this kind of mountain.

For the two of them who have lived in this mountain area for a long time, this kind of terrain is too familiar to them. Having undergone special training, their experience in this area can be very rich.

Song Zhibao sneaked along the foothills next to the Four Seas Governance, but when he was less than a mile away from the Four Seas Governance, he changed his direction and walked up the mountain along the foothills. The terrain in front of him was higher, and one mile was not counted. If something happened inside the fortress, he was confident that he could find out a thing or two through looking out.

Climbing all the way along the foothills, this kind of mountain rocks are broken. Fortunately, there are many unknown dead grasses and shrubs growing in the gaps between the broken and weathered rocks, which can be used to help him climb up quickly. .

   Climb up dozens of steps in one breath, even though Song Zhibao has extraordinary physical strength, he still feels his chest panting like a bellows.

After choosing a slightly gentle place, Song Zhibao followed the mountain rock closely, despite some cold rocks squeezed against him, his jacket was already wet with sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to be wet, but at this time his attention Li has been completely attracted by the situation in the fortress below.

  Four Seas Administration is nominally a guard, but it cannot be regarded as a guard.

  As a frontline guard post supporting the Heihanling Fort and Thursday Ditch Fort in the front, the situation is quite different from the guard post in the hinterland.

  In addition to a fortress where soldiers were hoarded, along the wall outside the fortress, there were several streets surrounded by hundreds of dilapidated houses.

Most of these houses are made of stones mixed with wood, or some dead branches thatch, or even smeared with mud. Anyway, various building materials are mixed together, which looks messy and uncoordinated, but in this kind of fortress not far from the side wall On the other hand, it looks extraordinarily normal.

These are the relatives of the surrounding military households, the prisoners assigned by them, and the miscellaneous people who are willing to come to this wall to make a living, such as businessmen, hunters, small craftsmen and so on. Over time, this nondescript situation has formed. A settlement similar to a small market town on the border.

The few flashes of light under the wall of the fortress made Song Zhibao's face turn pale, and he suppressed the panting sound that he had been panting before, even though he knew the distance was so far, he could hear it even if he coughed No, he might not be able to find anything if he looked this way, but he subconsciously arched and curled up.

  More than a dozen cavalry came around along the side wall, and what shook his eyes was the reflection of the weapons in their hands.

   Song Zhibao knew at a glance that this was not the cavalry of the Xuanfu Army. If this formation came out, the little flag would definitely be whipped.

Only the Chahars or Tumets outside the side wall have such a careless or unrestrained loose formation, but their superb riding skills can make up for their lack of disciplined formation, and they can make up for it in a very short period of time. Can be adjusted to make an attack formation.

  Song Zhibao swallowed his saliva with difficulty. From such a distance, it is impossible to determine whether it is Tumet or Chahar. The two Mongols may have some differences in their clothes, but they cannot be distinguished at such a distance.

   But this is not important anymore, as long as the Mongols appear under the fortress wall of the Four Seas Administration, and they are so unscrupulous, it is enough to explain everything.

  There are no garrisons in the fortress at all, and there are only Mongols, but where did these original Dazhou garrisons go? Was it wiped out by a Mongol raid, or had it evacuated long ago? And what happened to the Black Hanling Fort and Thursday Ditch Fort ahead?

  Song Zhibao didn't have time to think about it. He turned his head and looked back. He had to report to the brigade that was still resting ahead in the shortest possible time. As for the result of his companion bypassing from the other side, he couldn't control it.

  Once the Mongol cavalry in the fort gathered together, came out along this road, and collided with the unsuspecting own troops, Song Zhibao didn't dare to think about what would happen.

Trying his best to relax his stiff body, he quickly ran backwards in a zigzag shape along the **** at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't dare to run too fast. It's hard to say whether it will be discovered by the group of Mongolians who seem to be happily talking to each other, although the chance of being discovered at this distance is not high.

  The Mongolian cavalry at a few streets circled their horses and circled back and forth, looking around, looking around, and a little impatient.

There were bursts of shouting and cursing, as well as some miserable howling sounds. It should be that the people in these houses outside the fort were being looted and slaughtered, but for Song Zhibao, this could not distract him at all. Now he Point to go back as fast as possible, so that the main general will be ready to meet the enemy.

After finally getting down from the ridge, Song Zhibao ran all the way close to the valley at the foot of the mountain, running for more than a mile in one breath, and suddenly a figure jumped out from a ditch in front of him. He went straight to the opponent's waist, and the other hand hooked the opponent's neck fiercely.

  The other party also reacted quickly, leaning back suddenly, one body half curled up on the ground, avoiding Song Zhibao's fierce knife, but one leg was an extremely vicious rabbit kicking towards Song Zhibao's crotch.

  Song Zhibao didn't expect the opponent to be so cunning, he missed the hook, let alone a stab miss, and the opponent also took advantage of the situation to recline and kicked his legs hard. If he was kicked by the opponent, he would never want to be a man in this life.

Sliding sideways and dodging the kick, Song Zhibao lunged forward, sank the knife in his hand, and was about to make a big hole in the opponent's leg, but he heard a low voice: "Dabao, it's me! "

  Song Zhibao came to his senses after hearing this, heaved a sigh of relief, and almost collapsed on the ground, "Damn, Baishan, why is it you? You almost killed me!"

  Why not him? It was because they were too nervous and in a hurry that they didn't even see the person clearly, so they made a sudden and ruthless move.

"I'm not the same, your knife almost killed me!" Liu Baishan also collapsed on the ground, panting heavily: "Damn, the Chahar people came in, I'm at the intersection over there They almost ran into each other, what are these **** from the Xuanfu Army doing? Why did the Chahar people take down the Sihai Commandery? Could it be that the Black Hanling Fort was captured by them? Or was it the Sihai Ditch Fort? "

With a wave of his hand, Song Zhibao quickly got up and walked back and forth, while shaking his head: "It's impossible to come from Sigoubao. If the Chahar people come from there, they should go directly to Yongning, and they can still make trouble here ?”

   "That's right, hurry up and report back, we've made a great contribution this time." As soon as he was out of danger, Liu Baishan's mind became active.

He and Song Zhibao had not been recruited as scouts for this army for a long time, less than a year, mainly due to their familiarity with the mountainous conditions in this area, and they were hunters who were good at running in the mountains. They have good physical strength and know some martial arts skills, so Zuo Liangyu selected them into the scout team.

But after all, it is the first time for them to engage in this business with real knives and guns, and when they encounter such a big event, they will inevitably lose their composure after being overjoyed and shocked, so the two of them are very good and familiar with each other. Only when they were nervous, they would strike ruthlessly without even seeing the person clearly. Fortunately, the two martial arts skills were equal, so no tragedy happened.

  The two ran wildly all the way, along the foot of the mountain, and rushed back to the two departments that were still resting three miles away.

   "What, the Chahar people came in?!" Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed after being surprised.

   This trip was really on the right track. Whether the Xuanfu army deliberately let the Chahar people enter the side wall, or the Xuanfu army was successfully attacked by the Chahar people because they were deployed too much, it doesn't matter.

Now I have to face the attack of the Chahar people, which is much better than fighting with the Xuanfu army. The Xuanfu army is mainly infantry, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. If I really want to fight with them, the loss will not be small .

Fighting the Mongols is relatively simple. If you encounter a field battle, collide head-on, and the terrain is not suitable, you may be defeated by a big rout, but now you have obtained the information first, predicted the enemy's situation, and ruled from the four seas to the east and west. The terrain is very rough. It is not difficult to choose a place to set up an ambush. The key is to be fast enough and in time.

"It must be from Chahar. The young one is only twenty steps away from the nearest cavalry. Fortunately, the young one dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been discovered." Liu Baishan nodded again and again, and Song Zhibao over there also answered: "General , the small ones can’t read it wrong, the fortress of the Four Seas Administration is still in chaos, and the outside is still being looted, only a small number of people have begun to gather at the intersection,..."

  Huang Degong exchanged glances with Zuo Liangyu knowingly, and immediately started a discussion.

   If the Chahars come in, it could go both directions.

  One is to go in the direction of his group, and then cross the inner Great Wall, enter the territory of Shuntian Prefecture, and approach Chaohe Station.

  One direction is to go to Yongning, win Yongning, and then choose an opportunity to see if it can attack Yanqingzhou City.

The two quickly denied the former, because judging from what they have learned so far, it is unlikely that the Chahar people invaded on a large scale, but more likely that they were harassed by a small group or deliberately let in by Niu Jizong. Shuntian Mansion also had to face the Inner Great Wall guarded by the Jizhen army, they would not take this risk.

   Wouldn’t it be nice to grab Yongning and Yanqing Prefectures?

   Quickly determined the direction, that is to choose the ambush location, of course it is the section of the road from Sihaizhi to Yongning.
