Chapter 841 The Action Begins (Part 1)
The next morning, Xun Ge'er returned to the camp again. The militiamen in the same tent immediately gathered around him. He quickly led them to a remote corner.
"Xun Ge'er, what's going on? What's going on? Did the Han tribe agree to our conditions?" Someone immediately asked nervously. After all, it was a matter related to their lives and future lives, so everyone took it very seriously and paid attention to it.
"Agreed." Xun Ge'er nodded first, giving everyone a reassurance, and then he introduced the situation in detail.
"The Han tribe said that they didn't know what kind of soldiers we were before, and thought we were all the same, so they treated us as the same corps as before. Now that they know we are coerced militiamen, they decided to distinguish us from the corps soldiers.
The Han tribe said that as long as we cooperate in rounding up those clan soldiers and grassland soldiers, we don't have to do labor, and after the war we can get the household registration of the Han tribe and enjoy the same treatment as the people of the Han tribe. In addition, as long as we cooperate, they can take us to Qingquan Valley to rob our families and our food."
"So that's how it is. I said that the Han tribe is not like this at ordinary times. Why would they let us do five years of labor? It turns out that they don't know we are militiamen." One of them breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
"But how can we help the Han tribe round up those clan soldiers and grassland soldiers? I'm afraid we can't beat them, right? What if we don't stop them by then?" Someone still asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Elder Jin will be in charge of everything here. He will tell us what to do. When the time comes, just listen to the elder's orders. Besides, we will not be the main force of the roundup. People from the Han tribe will come over. Don't worry." Brother Xun calmed everyone's restless mood again, and then explained the details to everyone. Finally, he notified everyone that the time to launch the uprising was set that night.
At the same time, other Jinwuwei spies in the camp were also spreading the news quickly, and began to organize and deploy troops according to the instructions of Elder Jin's iron anvil.
In the evening of that day, the militia took over the defense and patrol tasks of the clan soldiers and grassland soldiers. Those clan soldiers and grassland soldiers were also happy to be idle. They already knew that the camp was attacked by the Han army two nights ago. So during the patrols of the past two nights, those patrolmen were unwilling to patrol and stand guard, for fear that they would be accidentally beheaded by the Han tribe. Now let those militia take over their defense patrol tasks. In their view, this is simply Elder Jin pulling the militia to be cannon fodder.
In the afternoon, the clan soldiers and grassland soldiers also organized a high-intensity training, which made them exhausted. After the training, Elder Jin Tiezhen asked the clan soldiers and grassland soldiers to gather all kinds of weapons in one place, put the weapons of the soldiers in several tents together, and then handed them over to the patrol and night guard militia for care. In this
way, until that night, the elite infantry of the three guards of the Han army, the Tiger Guard, the Sea Wolf Guard, the Flying Bear Guard, and the 9,500 people, had approached the Xin tribe army camp in Qingqing Gorge in three directions, and then quietly hid, waiting for the order to come, they would rush up in a swarm and surround the two thousand enemy troops.
In the early hours of the night, the weather was clear and the moon was high. When Elder Jin Tiezhen, who was sitting in the command center, learned that his men had reported that the Han army had moved to the right place, he immediately waved his arm to signal to start the action.
The personal soldiers and spies who received the order began to run around and inform each team's patrol and sentry to start transporting the weapons of the clan soldiers and grassland soldiers.
The clan soldiers and grassland soldiers were tired after a day of training, and now was the time for them to sleep the most. In addition, the militia was very careful, so they did not pay attention to them.
Under the bright moonlight, the militia carefully carried the weapons. Xun Ge'er was no exception. He led the people in his tent and quietly shuttled between the tents.
"Everyone should move quickly and quietly. Don't talk or make any noise. Hurry." Xun Ge'er whispered to everyone the key points of the action, and everyone started to move.
Some people lifted the straw curtain covering the weapons, and then carried the bundles of bamboo arrows on their shoulders and walked away. Some people saw that the arrows were getting less and less, so they simply took a bundle of copper spears from the side. As a result, one end of the copper spear was too heavy and was almost smashed to the ground by the man. Xun Ge'er was so scared that he hurried over to help him and stabilized him from falling.
"Be careful, don't make any noise. Come on, two of you carry this bundle with him." After helping the man, Brother Xun pulled another boy over from the side and asked them to carry a bundle of bronze spears together.
Just after he finished arranging this, he saw a militiaman collecting the bows of the grassland people. Brother Xun quickly stepped forward to stop him, lowered his voice to the minimum, and said to the man.
"Move other things first, and these bows last. Without arrows, their bows are useless."
"Oh, okay." The man agreed, put down a few bows and started to move other things.
The militias in the entire camp were all like this, all carrying weapons in an orderly manner. They carried bundles of bows, arrows, swords and spears, and lined up to evacuate outside Qingqing Gorge.
When they got down to the middle of the mountain, they suddenly found a silver reflective spot on the hillside. When they looked closely, they found that they were soldiers of the Han tribe wearing iron armor. The steel armor was very eye-catching under the bright moonlight, and the cold light reflected from the spears and halberds made people feel cold. Some people couldn't help but feel their legs softened and sat down on the ground with a bang. The arrows on their shoulders fell to the ground.
Such a reaction immediately scared everyone around. Those who didn't know thought that this guy was shot down by the arrows fired by the Han tribe.
"What's wrong with you? Get up quickly, don't be afraid, the Han army is not against us. Elder Jin has already made an agreement with the Han army that the Han army will not make things difficult for us. Hurry up and catch up. When we reach the place where we meet at the foot of the mountain, we will be safe."
After an accompanying officer found the abnormal situation, he came over to take a look, calmed the emotions of the militia, and then urged everyone to continue going down.
The militiamen continued to carry the weapons silently down the mountain. When they were close to the foot of the mountain, they found that the people in front of them were throwing weapons to a place. The weapons there were piled up like a small hill.
When they walked in and took a look, they found that there was a team of Han soldiers holding crossbows and swords, supervising the militiamen to throw away the weapons.
