The Wind Rises in Chang'an Chapter 221 The Night of Killing

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Tiannan Five Ridges stretches for nearly a thousand miles with undulating mountains. There are occasionally villages inhabited by Yue people in the mountains. They live a peaceful and comfortable life leaning against the green mountains and green waters.  ¡¾x.c In the evening, smoke curls up from the village, and occasionally you can hear singing and dancing in the village.  It¡¯s a quiet summer night. Although it¡¯s already passed August, for the Vietnamese people who live in southern China, there are three warm summers a year. Only in November will they feel the coolness of autumn.  Zhou Zuoche pushed through the dense woods and stared at the peaceful mountain village quietly, as if the village was a monster that chose people to eat.  That was no ordinary Yue mountain village. Hidden in the village were hundreds of well-trained South Vietnamese barbarians.  He was very aware of the horror of the peaceful mountain village. Just five days ago, a group of scouts came to the mountain village and never came out. Some of the scouts discovered that the Yue people coming in and out of the village were carrying Han army's iron knives, bows and arrows, and even saw  Excellent military horses from Han Dynasty.  Until yesterday morning, twenty corpses were found dozens of miles away from the mountain village. The Han army's Zhajia had disappeared, leaving only the bones that had been devoured by wild beasts.  There is no doubt that the scouts paid their young lives for their carelessness. What is even more regrettable is that they are not the only victims. More than 300 Han army scouts died in Yueren Mountain Village in the past half month.  In different villages, the South Vietnamese barbarians used the same tactics every time.  Like ordinary villagers, they entertained the Han scouts warmly, fed their horses, entertained the guests with local products from the mountains, and launched a sudden attack in the middle of the night when they were tired and exhausted, snatching weapons and supplies and massacring them all.  Only a few teams of scouts reacted and escaped in time. The surviving Han army scouts had no time to feel happy that they survived.  When he returned to the camp, he discussed his crime for a long time, and he was found guilty of neglecting military discipline and causing a tragic death in the army.  A hundred lashes with iron were given as a heavy punishment.  General Cao Shi was very angry, and every soldier was angry.  It is understandable that one or two scout teams were wiped out.  Repeated total annihilations are unacceptable.  Especially before the subsequent dispatch of scouts, each scout was sternly warned by the Chinese army to be alert and careful about attacks. Every reminder was ineffective. He should continue to die. Once he died, the whole team would be wiped out.  All that was left was a pile of corpses that had been chewed to pieces by jackals, tigers and leopards.  The laws of the Han Dynasty were extremely strict, and no living scout would be spared. A hundred lashes with an iron whip dipped in salt water would be fatal.  It is even more impossible to survive a fatal blow. No one can survive ten lashes before being beaten to death.  Soldiers who were killed were given high-standard funerals, and merit awards were given according to normal standards for death in battle. The parents of the deceased should not be allowed to suffer the shame of their children again.  Their plight is worthy of sympathy, and their disregard of military orders is also very infuriating. Military law will never condone even the smallest mistakes, because every mistake will cause more people to die for you.  Zhou Zuoche held the handle of the knife and leaned against the giant tree in silence. He and his companions lurked here for twelve hours.  More than a hundred people ate, drank, and died in the woods.  The South Vietnamese barbarians hiding in the village were very alert and would escape quickly at the slightest movement. With the agility of having lived in the jungle for a long time and the locals' familiarity with the terrain, it was difficult for the scouts to ensure that they would be caught without missing a beat.  Zhou Zuoche knew that he only had one chance to take action.  If he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to avenge his comrades. He hid in the woods and waited patiently, like a wild beast in the jungle.  Waiting for the moment the prey reaches your mouth.  As night falls, the village is brightly lit.  The Yue village held a bonfire party.  I don¡¯t know whether to celebrate this year¡¯s rice harvest or to slaughter the fat sheep of the Han army scouts.  Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared silently.  Until late at night, the lights go out and the village returns to tranquility.  Zhou Zuoche walked gently out of the forest, carefully walked around the path, and quickly approached the village like a quiet leopard, slowly stopping at the edge of the village.  Behind him, one hundred and twenty people followed quietly, waiting for the moment to give the order.  "Shh!" Zhou Zuoche's eyes were as bright as fire. He carefully circled around the village and quickly found dozens of animal traps. The sharp bamboo spears in the traps were pointed at the sky. If they fell, they would lose half their lives. Bronze  Animal traps and spikes containing snake venom can kill people if they get on them.  The terrain we visited had been explored last night. There were terrifying traps all around the closed villa. It was by no means simply to prevent wild beasts from attacking. This was to fully prepare for a possible sneak attack. If Zhou Zuoche had not been careful and discovered the route of the intruder in time,  Strangely, he would never have thought that the countryside outside the village road was full of terrible traps.  In order to kill the Han army, the South Vietnamese came up with many very vicious methods, such as relocating the population, abandoning villages, poisoning wells, sneak attacks on women and children, etc.However, in addition to the unexpected loss of more than 300 scouts, the stagnation and impact the Han army encountered were unprecedentedly strong. More than 200 people died before they encountered the main force of the South Vietnamese army. The morale of the South Vietnamese army was gradually declining.  The morale of Lang Pu's army was even pitifully low.  After all, South Vietnam has been run by Zhao Tuo for more than sixty years. Although Pian'an's military strength and economic level are very low, it will definitely have a huge advantage if it comes to the South Vietnamese's home ground to fight.  More than a hundred people were waiting quietly outside the village. They would never act rashly without orders. The Yulin Cavalry could strictly enforce orders and prohibitions.  Originally, the Yulin Cavalry planned to continue training in Chang'an City. The emperor changed the plan temporarily and asked 15,000 Yulin Cavalry to follow him. This was treated as actual combat training. Cao Shi led the army to Luoyang before being caught up by the Yulin Cavalry.  I had no choice but to accept the order.  The role of the Yulin Cavalry in the army is very special. Cao Shi did not send them to the grassroots to lead troops, but gave them a special mission to act as beasts hidden in the jungle, quietly protecting the army from advancing safely in the dark.  The requirements are not high. I have conducted similar wilderness survival training many times. I have traveled all over the Qinling Mountains. I have seen poisonous miasma that is not inferior to the Nanling Mountains. I have seen the huge temperature difference between the north and south slopes. I have also seen countless  An unheard of poisonous insect and beast.  The Yulin Cavalry is independent of the scouts, and their mission is far more important than the scouts. Cao Shi has high expectations for them.  The cool night wind blew, and the rustling sound came from the bamboo forest in the distance, blowing away the heat in the hearts of the Han soldiers.  ¡°Ding ding ding¡­¡± Zhou Zuocha¡¯s eyes moved slightly for an instant.  Instantly turn to an inconspicuous corner, and if you look carefully, you will find something shaking slightly.  The two Yulin riders quickly passed by.  After a long while, he quietly returned: "There is a bell tied at the entrance of the village." Zhou Zuoche's face darkened: "These cunning bastards, they accidentally got into trouble. There must be a mechanism on the wall, give me the order and fight them all."  Spirit, if you are not careful, everyone will die here." More than a hundred people carefully cut open the bell. The door in the house was inaccessible. They did not dare to open the door easily, so they quietly moved stones to climb over.  wall.  The unknown thorns on the inner wall caused Yu Linqi to suffer a lot. A few people injured their hands if they were not careful. Fortunately, the Yue people did not perform poisoning treatment, and they probably would not believe that someone was attacking at night.  It also happened to bypass layers of protection as if it were a prophecy, so the protection on the wall was not perfect enough.  Jumping into the village, I found the location of several bells in the dark alley. They were placed in very inconspicuous corners. They were very cunning and insidious. If the Han army broke in through thousands of mountains and rivers, the bells hidden in the corners would be hidden.  You can also do a second warning.  ¡°Ding, ding, ding¡­¡± Yu Linqi kept fanning the air, and in a short time he pulled out all the hidden bells.  There is indeed a trap at the inner door. Several bear traps are placed at the gate. If you climb over the inner wall, you will definitely step on the bear trap.  If you are not careful, your legs will be broken and disabled, and the specific location of the night attack will be exposed. There are also several animal traps placed on the broad side of the terrain around the inner wall. Probably the South Vietnamese barbarians also want to protect the inner wall.  It's just that the bear trap is totally not enough.  Everyone is very careful when sneaking into the mountain village. Today's action is their first contact with South Vietnamese barbarians. They have never been exposed to the fighting methods of South Vietnamese barbarians before.  Everyone is very weak and worried that something might happen if they don¡¯t pay attention.  Zhou Zuoche looked around and found no one guarding him.  The South Vietnamese soldiers were so confident in their own protection that they did not even arrange a night watch.  It's also possible that he was drunk at the bonfire night and fell asleep.  His suspicion was soon confirmed.  The brave Yu Linqi walked into a house. In the room, a man and a woman were hugging each other and sleeping soundly. They did not look at the beautiful figure of the Yue woman, but saw a woman from the corner.  There is a piece of armor of the Han army, as well as the standard iron sword of the Han army, a war bow and arrows. Next to the armor is an encrypted iron plate, which is used to identify the identity of the enemy and ourselves.  That cowardly South Vietnamese barbarian soldier had his neck broken by the following, and died before he even had time to struggle. The Vietnamese woman lying next to him didn't even react, and was still immersed in sleep with her arms around the body.  After successfully killing the first person, Yu Linqi breathed a sigh of relief.  Fortunately, it was not as difficult to deal with as expected. Compared with the cruel training I had received, it was still acceptable. I stabilized my mood and quickly completed the division of labor. More than a hundred people were divided into dozens of micro teams, and they cooperated in pairs to quietly break into residential buildings and execute South Vietnamese barbarians.  It was the end of August, the eve of the new moon, and the starry sky was dim in the dark night. Even with the sharp eyes of Yu Linqi, there was no guarantee that no one would be accidentally killed. If a South Vietnamese barbarian was mistakenly placed and escaped among the Vietnamese, the result would be in vain.  It was a useless effort and all the Yue men were killed just to be on the safe side.  Although a little cruel, these are more than human beings.Their hands and feet were not clean either. They were accomplices in killing the Han scouts and disposed of the bodies of the Han scouts who were killed in vain for the South Vietnamese barbarians.  They also provided cover for these ferocious South Vietnamese barbarians. Without their all-out performance, the Han army scouts would not easily let down their guard. The Vietnamese pretended to be very devoted, and even gave their own girls to the South Vietnamese barbarians as temporary wives.  Such people deserve to die.  In the dark and unclear night, a killing quietly began.  In the middle of the night, the sleeping South Vietnamese soldiers suddenly woke up, pushed away the woman next to them, and crawled out to relieve the pressure on their bladders. Most of the pressure was relieved and they felt very comfortable. Unintentionally, they turned around and saw a few dark figures sneaking in.  Exit the next room.  The drunken South Vietnamese barbarian soldiers had not yet recovered, and suddenly laughed and said: "Who are you? What are you trying to do sneakily? Are you trying to steal someone else's woman?" Poof!  Click!  Two black figures suddenly appeared behind him. One held down the left shoulder of the South Vietnamese barbarian. He held a dagger in his right hand and stabbed it into the back of his heart. The other held down his head with both hands, covered his mouth and nose, and twisted it violently. At the same time, he shot indiscriminately.  The killing moves one after another killed the unlucky barbarian immediately. His bladder, which had not yet been relieved when he died, was still working, and a foul smell came from between his legs.  "Who is it!" A loud shout came from the silent alley in the distance, and the silent village was broken. Noises came from everywhere, including women screaming, children crying, and men screaming.  Zhou Zuoche drew out his sword and chopped the awakened barbarian warrior to the ground with a heavy chop. He raised his weapon and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order and kills all the men. Don't let any of them escape!" Yu Linqi immediately regrouped.  The formation was composed of three people in small groups, facing each other in front and back. The swords in their hands drew arcs to split the South Vietnamese barbarians who were rushing over.  In an instant, the South Vietnamese were flying with flesh and blood. All the Yulin riders were burly men with big arms and round waists. They raised their swords and slashed at the unprotected body and torso, which would have a very violent effect. They slashed the stumps and broken arms along the way, and blood was scattered on the ground.  .  There are more than a dozen teams guarding the favorable terrain, holding bows and carrying out long-range fire suppression in a leisurely manner.  The shooting skills of the South Vietnamese barbarians were obviously not as good as their powerful neighbors in the north. After a short time, they were suppressed and unable to lift their heads.  The South Vietnamese barbarians were retreating. Their front could not withstand the attacks of dozens of three groups. This strange infantry fighting technique was unheard of. The South Vietnamese barbarians who rushed over almost died as many as they came.  And the loss on Yulinqi¡¯s side is still zero.  The disparity in the duel resulted in a one-sided crushing. The combat effectiveness of the Han army was fully demonstrated at this moment. The South Vietnamese were short and thin, but the Han army's Yulin Cavalry was as terrifying as a humanoid King Kong. They were almost half a head taller than the South Vietnamese.  .  In front of the Han army, the South Vietnamese barbarians lacked strength, reaction, physical strength, explosive power, sword skills, and tactics. Their all-round backwardness only resulted in crushing.  The South Vietnamese barbarians fought and retreated, constantly shrinking to the corners of the village.  Those Vietnamese men who had no fighting ability but were very active became cannon fodder for the South Vietnamese army.  They were chopped one by one by the Han army, as if they were babies and had no power to fight back.  Zhou Zuoche rushed to the front line, knocking down more than a dozen South Vietnamese barbarians in succession, and suddenly stopped: "No, the South Vietnamese are trying to escape! They are retreating to the stables, we can't let them snatch the horses!" He was heartbroken and simply led him away.  With dozens of Yulin riders rushing away from the Yue people who were blocking their way, they stumbled to the ground with their strong bodies and fell to pieces.  Zhou Zuo's driver rushed up with a long sword: "Archers follow up and cover for us! Others block the exit of the house, don't let anyone escape!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better updated.  Faster!
