Chapter 004 Arrangement

"Walk?"

"This moon is dark and windy. If we light the torch, aren't we afraid that the clear dog will notice it?"

Baske and Zhang Qi looked at Ma Zhongying at the same time. In this era, due to malnutrition, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even ordinary middle and senior generals had night blindness. It was a bit dangerous to wander around the mountains in a dark and lantern manner. But if a torch was lit, the plan to withdraw the troops would inevitably not be concealed by the Qing army at the foot of the mountain.

Ma Zhongying said firmly: "Just leave, I'm afraid of being discovered, so we'll just sing a few less torches and leave here first."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Is it difficult to leave now and be surrounded by tens of thousands of Qing troops tomorrow? In that battle yesterday, the Qing army lost nearly ten thousand troops. Xifu, the bitch who was raised, would never sit idly by the culprit Ma Bao, who was appointed by Kang Mazi, escaped.

Ma Bao thought about it and thought about it, and finally said, "Xiao Wu is right. Let's go to Yao'an on the mountain road. There are nearly 3,000 troops and horses on Hu Guozhu. Now we are surrounded by Sanger. Now our army is severely damaged by Xifu, and the Qing army must be unprepared. We can take this opportunity to raid the Sanger camp."

After decades of military career, Ma Bao has long been clear about the situation on the battlefield. If this Wumeng Mountain ambush was not betrayed by the traitors, Ma Bao might not have been able to wipe out Xifu in one fell swoop. But even so, this time, it also severely damaged the Qing army. This not only demonstrated the bravery of the Ma family army, but also indirectly demonstrated Ma Bao's courage.

"Dad's plan is very good. Xifu never thought that we still have the strength to resolve the dangerous situation in Yao'an when we were defeated, but...!"

Unexpectedly, attacking him unpreparedly. At present, the main forces of the Sangge tribe are in Chuxiong, and Hu Guozhu tribe is trapped in Yao'an City. If the Ma family army suddenly appears in Yao'an, Ma Zhongying thinks that he will definitely be caught off guard.

Moreover, Yao'an Prefecture is connected to Chuxiong in the south, Dali in the west, and to southern Sichuan in the north, with a wide range of connections and surrounded by mountains, which is most suitable for guerrilla warfare. If Hu Guozhu can be rescued, the Ma family army can be expanded to nearly 4,000 people. Such a power is not comparable to that of the chieftains in the Wumeng Mountain area, and the chances of saving their lives will be much greater.

Ma Bao frowned and said, "It's just what?"

He also felt that his youngest son seemed to have become a different person after the war, but he couldn't figure out what the reason was.

Ma Zhongying said, "Dad, we are going to Yao'an this time to get rid of the Qing army's pursuit. However, if our army enters the mountain, I am afraid that Xifu will divide his troops back to Yao'an, so we must drag them into the mountain and turn the camera in."

"Fifth brother, just say what you have any ideas. When is it now."

Ma Zhongming was anxious, and he also discovered the changes in his fifth brother. Although he couldn't tell the reason, he just felt that Lao Wu's mind was more flexible than before.

"Hehe, then I'll say that after Qing Dog suffered such a big loss, I thought Xifu and Zhao Liangdong would definitely enter the mountain tomorrow, but the situation in Wumeng Mountain is complicated, and Xifu is not willing to go deeper alone, so we have to stimulate him. We also need to evacuate lightly and simply. I thought we could place the medicines that accompany the army in the camp, and give them a ruthless one after the Qing army entered the camp."

Ma Zhongying clenched his fists, looking like he was determined to win.

"What should I do?"

In the battle yesterday, nearly 5,000 Ma family troops, third and fourth brothers were killed in Dalianghe. Ma Zhongming and Ma Zhongying heard that Lao Wu had a plan to deal with the Qing army, and they were very energetic.

"Okay, you guys just look at me!"

Ma Zhongying had already made up his mind and immediately took a team of personal soldiers to collect all the gunpowder and wine jars in the camp. His plan was very simple, in fact, it was to arrange a mine formation in the camp.

However, there was no material that could seal gunpowder like a thin-skinned coffin in the camp, so we had to settle for the second best and use a wine jar instead.

Of course, the jars also need to be dried, because the wine degree in this era is too low. If you don’t deal with it, it will soak the medicine and maybe it will wet the leads.

At that time, due to the continuous battle, the army's Chinese medicine was less than 2,000 kilograms. The Ma family army wanted to move in quickly, so it was naturally impossible to carry so many medicines. Therefore, Ma Zhongying only left 800 kilograms of medicine to distribute to the entire army. However, he put all the medicines into wine jars and other sealable pots. Then, the thousand and two hundred kilograms of medicines were divided into three piles, and they were stacked openly in Ma Bao's tent.

"Fifth brother, you have arranged the medicine, but who will ignite it?"

While helping Ma Zhongming move the wine jar, he asked questions yellingly. There is no automatic explosion device in this era, and it is all operated by people. Now the Great Zhou is about to collapse. Although the remaining troops on the mountain are Ma Bao's personal soldiers, Ma Zhongming cannot guarantee whether there will be people who are greedy and afraid of death. If Ma Zhongying's arrangement is leaked, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Brother, don't worry, we can borrow Qingdo's hand and ignite the lead."

Ma Zhongying is already sorting out the leads. The leads are rubbed with hemp rope and then soaked in vinegar and dried. Once they encounter an open flame, the burning speed is very fast.

Ma Zhongying was very particular about doing things, but he led all four leads to a corner of the big tent, and then covered the table with sulfur and hay and other fire-induced objects. In order to prevent the burning was not thorough enough, he specially poured hot oil on it. Finally, he lit an oil lamp on the table and fixed it to the gate of the tent with a rope.

"Lao Wu, you are so sinister. If the old boy Xifu took the lead in making the money, he might be able to send him back in one fell swoop."

Looking at the trap that was about to be arranged, Ma Zhongming waved his fist fiercely, and the flames of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, brother, second brother, don't talk nonsense. Go and choose a few brothers with good looks. Let's leave now."

Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Zhongying walked to the other side of the military tent, drew a knife and cut a big hole, and then called everyone to retreat from the gap. The door of the tent was tied up with a rope. Once pulled, the oil lamp was about to fall. If that was the case, Ma Zhongying would die before he could succeed.

Of course, the time for the oil lamp to burn is also good. It is no problem to light it for two hours. As long as you run fast enough, you may be able to see the scenery on the other mountain peak when it dawns tomorrow.

At this time, the soldiers in the camp had basically changed their clothes. The remaining more than 40 stones of grain and 1,200 kilograms of medicine and weapons were packed. Some were distributed to individuals to carry, while others were hung on the only thirteen remaining war horses, waiting for the horse to issue orders.

"Let's go!"

Ma Bao looked up at the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain and said nothing, waved his hand to signal the troops to move forward.
