Chapter 720 Night Attack
"Your excellency, it's time to take action. What do you have to do?" Wang Yongdao.
"I don't have time to talk about it now. Let's talk about it on the way and act according to the opportunity." Song Nan took off his helmet, took off his cloak, and untied his armor again.
Everyone was stunned. Wang Yong said, "Your Excellency, is this?"
"I want to go in person, not because I'm worried about you, but because this matter is about the success or failure of tomorrow's war. I have to go in person to feel at ease." Song Nan said as she took off her armor and motioned Aunt Ye Fang to come and help him tie his hairband.
Xu Tai and Wang Yong were all stunned. Wang Yong said angrily, "How can you not believe what you say? It was agreed not to go, and then ran to take risks. You are the commander-in-chief of the army and want to stay here to control the overall situation. How can you run to danger at any time?
Xu Tai also said, "Your Excellency, is it inappropriate to do this? This is a military camp that goes deep into the 100,000 talons. It is unpleasant to say that this matter is very unlikely to succeed. Once it is found out by the talons, it is difficult to get out. Adults can't be impulsive.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Is this what you think of this operation? This operation must be successful, otherwise you and me and more than 10,000 brothers will not be able to survive tomorrow's reinforcements. This operation is not a child's play or a test of success, but must be successful. You should understand this.
Wang Yong said, "Even so, you can take your brothers to the humble position, and you don't have to go."
Song Nan said, "Let me ask you, do you know where the flying eagle cannon is?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's nothing more than the mountains occupied by the salams."
Song Nan snorted and said, "Each of the dozens of mountains, large and small, may be hidden. If you look for them one by one, I'm afraid you won't find them until dawn. And as soon as dawn, there is no more chance. In addition, what would you do if you found the flying eagle cannon?
Wang Yong scratched his head and said, "Is it smashed? No, it's all iron. Push it into the ravine? It doesn't seem to work. The Tsars can use it when they carry it up. By the way, dig a hole and bury it so that they can't find it.
Song Nan was angry and funny, and sighed, "I'm afraid you can't believe that you can do this method. That's a 100,000-way camp of talari. Can you think of some strange methods? Those dozens of big guys are difficult to deal with. Is it useless to find them?
Xu Tai said, "Maybe some parts can be discarded so that the cannon cannot be fired."
Song Nan nodded and said, "Xu Tai's words are a little to the point, but it doesn't work. Our army carries firearms to the battlefield. Even firearms such as the General Cannon will bring spare parts, followed by special personnel to replace them at any time. The Tatar's eagle cannon must also be equipped with parts and replaced by repairers. It is useless to dismantle the parts. They just replace them with new ones and continue to launch them.
Everyone understood what Song Nan said and was speechless for a moment.
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time. There is still more than an hour before dawn. Time is tight. Aunt Fang, come and help me tie my hairband."
Ye Fanggu sighed in her heart that it was difficult to stop Song Nan from taking risks, but she also understood the current situation and followed the army through several hard battles. She finally understood the various adventurous actions Song Nan had made before. It turned out that many times it was forced to do it. In order to win and survive, Song Nan would do it. Such a choice.
Song Nan tied her hairband, put on tights, and put on thin-sole fast boots under her feet, just like the clothes of the guards, but she found that at some point, Ye Fanggu also rolled up the green silk behind her head and changed into her tight clothes in the narrow compartment behind the grass curtain; Song Nan frowned and said "What are you doing?"
Ye Fanggu ignored and hugged Wang Yong and said, "Lord Wang, the villain asked to participate, please accept it."
Wang Yong looked at Song Nan. Song Nan shook her head helplessly. That night, Aunt Ye Fang said that whenever she wanted to take a risk, she would follow her words that came to her mind, so she did not waste time and waved her hand and said, "Action."
The jade rabbit slanted to the west, and as the dawn approached, the moonlight gradually became dark. In a dark corner, everyone put down the five-foot-high wall under the long rope and quietly came to the north of the Great Wall. The land you set foot on is full of thorns and stones. According to reason, the land you set foot on is no longer the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the place outside the Great Wall is the outer world.
Song Nan led the crowd along the cat's waist on the hillside, but headed towards the flank of the army of thetars.
Be careful not to make a sound under his feet, Song Nan quietly told the people around him: "The eagle cannon has a long range, and it is difficult to walk in the mountains here. The Tatars will definitely set them in a place where they can hit the Great Wall without too much effort to move forward. Roughly speaking, it is three miles away from the Great Wall, and it doesn't belong to the back team of the salams.
Wang Yong seemed to be a little enlightened and whispered, "This eagle cannon needs to be visually targeted, and the field of vision must not be poor, so its place must be on the hillside or a flat ground at the top of the mountain, and it will definitely not be visited between the valleys. Your Excellency, do you think so?
Song Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Completely correct. Don't forget that if the Tatars want to break through the defense of the Great Wall, the Condor cannons are the sharp weapon they rely on, so they must also be under the protection of the heavy soldiers of the Tatars and are unlikely to be on the sides or edge of the Tatar barracks. So, we can roughly lock their position.
Everyone nodded gently. Originally, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but now after Song Nan's soft words, it suddenly became clear that after a shrewd brain analysis, things would be much simpler. But not everyone has the ability to analyze this brain.
"Then why do we walk towards the side of the Tah? If I don't lose our way, we seem to be walking in the north, which is not the direction of the Eagle cannon. Ye Fang said in a low voice.
Song Nan didn't mean to laugh at her, but there was still some sneer in her tone: "Don't Aunt Fang want us to swagger into the 100,000-man camp of Taran like this? The frontal vigilance of the Tah must be very high. If we don't pay attention, we will be found, and because the flank is on the side of the battlefield, the vigilance will be very low, and we are easy to get it.
"Does your excellency mean... we are going to attack the flanking of the tah?" Wang Yong said in consters.
Song Nan corrected: "It's not an attack, it's a sneak attack; our night clothes will soon be recognized when we walk in the crowded barracks of the Tah. We must wear a pair of Tah armor, so that we can go deep into the rear of the Tahlet camp and may be unimpeded."
Only then did everyone understand that Song Nan wanted Qiao to enter the barracks as a Tarate soldier and horse. In this way, it is better to rush inside in a night clothes, but it may not be successful, because the Taran soldiers are also established, and their soldiers and horses are not allowed to travel together, and the costumes are not endless. Similarly, there is a risk of exposure.
Wang Yong whispered his worries to Song Nan. Song Nan nodded and said, "It's better to take one step and quietly capture a few dozen soldiers along the way and ask their command and the rules of the army."
Everyone rolled their eyes. It turned out that Song Nan was also bottomless, and the relatives who had been following Song Nan for a long time were not very surprised. Lord Song's adventure almost made a mistake, and it was not a thing twice, but he could always turn bad luck into good luck and become auspicious, and it was useless to worry about it. Everything was just to the command.
While talking, everyone had come to the side of a hill on the flank and looked up in the long grass, but they saw a lot of felt tents on the hillside, flashing with lights and bonfires, and there seemed to be voices.
Wang Yong did not wait for Song Nan's instructions, took more than a dozen brothers to search around, and came back and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, there is no guard post around."
Song Nan frowned and said, "It's strange that the Tirans don't arrange the night patrol sentry, which is too careless."
"I don't think we will sneak attack from the Great Wall. I don't think it's necessary to set up a sentry." Wang Yongdao.
Song Nan thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and waved her hand and said, "Never mind, take down the tents on the hillside in front of you first. Wang Yong, his men are more neat and can't make a sound to call the nearby tartans on the left know."
Wang Yong nodded slowly, waved his hand to gather the guards around him, crawled along the hillside and climbed several tents on the gentle hillside a hundred steps away. Song Nan turned around to talk to Ye Fanggu, but found that her side was empty, and Ye Fanggu did not know where she was. Song Nan hurriedly looked sideways and saw Ye Fanggu biting a dagger in her mouth. She crawled on the ground and climbed up the hillside with Wang Yong and others. The buttocks under the pair of tights fell very eye-catching together. Song Nan swallowed and sighed. Her wife has martial arts skills and likes to fight and kill. Although she has changed a lot over the years, Song Nan feels that she has never really conquered her.
The battle on the hillside began in an instant and ended in an instant. Seven or eight tents were suddenly attacked extremely quickly, and the charans inside were quickly subdued. When Song Nan climbed up, there were more than a dozen bodies lying in several tents, and more than a dozen charons shrank together in panic, and their faces were full of panic. Fear.
Song Nan was surprised that their clothes were all ordinary herdsmen's clothes. There was no armor and blades. Those who died were dressed the same as those of the prisoners. Although they were all men, there were still drooping old men and two drooping children.
"Your Excellency, these people are not like soldiers and horses of the salams, but like the soldiers captured by the army." Wang Yong will feel puzzled.
Song Nan squatted down and approached an old man with a bleeding nose and asked, "Who are you?" Without armor and blade, how can the two armies fight against each other on the battlefield?
The old man trembled and said, "God bless you, the old man, spare his life."
Song Nan said, "If you say it, I will spare your life."
The old man swallowed and spit and said, "We are all ordinary herdsmen. We were captured by the second prince to lead the army. There is nothing we can do. We have never killed you Ming people. Master, please spare our lives."
Song Nan's heart moved and continued to ask, "What are your responsibilities to stay on this hillside?"
The old man said, "Thousands of herdsmen of our Horqin tribe are on the two hills near the left, because there is no blade and armor and we can't fight. We can only cook rice and water for the army here. During the day, we have to dig fortifications and open up mountain roads for them. We have nothing else."
Song Nan straightened up, with a suddenly enlightened look on his face, and a question lingering in his heart was also solved.
