Mountain pass outpost.
More than a dozen people were killed here during the day. Although they had all been dragged away, there was still a gloomy feeling around. There were eight Tang Dynasty soldiers on duty here, and more than 30 Fuso soldiers. Their task was to continue watching the nine people kneeling here.
The families of these nine people have not come down from the mountain yet. It is already midnight, and the wind blowing from the seaside is already a bit cold. The uniforms of the Tang soldiers can naturally keep out the cold, but these Fuso people have their arms and legs exposed, and they are huddled together due to the cold.
Although these people have sworn allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, we don't have the time to buy them military uniforms. You can wear whatever you wore before. We can give you a meal, which is already quite good. At least you don't have to eat whole grain noodles like ordinary people. You can still give me rice every day.
"Brothers, please stay alert at night. We were told in advance when we came here that someone might come down to rob the camp at night, so we have to take turns sleeping."
A sergeant stretched. The soldiers under his command were all battle-hardened, so after he finished speaking, everyone took the initiative to split into two groups. One group could continue to sleep, and the other group had to stand up and work.
As for the Japanese people next to them, according to regulations they should also get a portion, but unfortunately these people are used to being lazy, and the portion that was allocated to them was just dozing off everywhere.
If we rely on them at night, we don't know how many times we will die, so at this time we have to rely on ourselves. There are hundreds of elite soldiers lying in ambush in the darkness around us. As long as those on the mountain dare to come down, we can catch them all in one fell swoop, and we won't have to let anyone else to work in this ghost place tomorrow.
According to the information we got, there were about 500 people on the mountain. More than 90 of them were killed in several operations, and more than 50 were injured. There was a lack of medical care and medicine in that place on the mountain. Even if they were seriously injured in Fukuoka City, they would still die. They would definitely not survive after returning to the mountain.
So according to our speculation, there are only about 250 people left on the mountain. More than 40 people came down to surrender during the day. It is good to have 200 people who can fight on the mountain. We will probably have to come down tonight to take these people away. After all, these are their closest relatives.
No matter all of them come down or only some of them, it is something worth being happy about for us. Only when all these people are eliminated, we can feel at ease when on duty in the city in the future. A few days ago, a pair of brothers were on duty on the southern edge of the city. Who knew that these Fuso people were hiding in the dark and killed three of our brothers with bows and arrows. Two other brothers were injured, but their bodies had been smeared with poison. We could only watch our brothers slowly walk away. This is more sad than anything else.
When this news spread throughout the army, all the Tang soldiers gathered their strength and decided to kill all the people on the mountain. Otherwise, our brothers would continue to be injured. Everyone was still thinking about returning to the Tang Dynasty, so how could they die here?
This is the time of night when it is easiest to feel sleepy. More than seventy people on the mountain have surrounded them. They came down with the commander-in-chief on their backs. According to the commander-in-chief's orders, no one can care about the life or death of these people down the mountain. In their eyes, these people are no longer Fuso people, they are already working for the Tang Dynasty.
But some soldiers would not obey this order. If the person kneeling there is not your father, you certainly will not care about this matter. So these more than 70 people contacted each other. They waited until the commander-in-chief and others fell asleep, and then slowly came to the mountain pass with weapons.
Seeing their loved ones kneeling here, they felt heartbroken. Some of them were old and fell to the ground helplessly. The Fuso soldiers around them twitched for a while, and then forced them to continue kneeling. Several women's knees were bleeding. The people on the mountain saw clearly that they were their sisters and wives. How could they bear it?
"Kill the chicken for me..."
When they heard this sound, the sleeping Tang Dynasty soldiers immediately opened their eyes. They didn't expect these people to actually come. According to their original idea, it would take at least two or three days for them to come. They didn't expect that it would be effective on the first day. It seems that our method really hit them hard.
The eight Tang soldiers in the tent immediately formed a circle. They had already dug a circular fortification in the tent. At this time, the main thing was to save their own lives. The rest of the things were not important. More than 70 people rushed down the mountain, and another ten or so people were watching on the mountain, ready to provide support.
There were only a few campfires at the bottom of the mountain, so many places could not be seen, but when these people rushed down, our soldiers also surrounded them.
"Father……"
A rebel found his father and was about to go over to untie the rope for his father. Who would have thought that the father, whose clothes and hairstyle were right, actually stabbed himself in the abdomen. It turned out that these people were all played by Tang Dynasty soldiers.
It was impossible to see clearly at night, and these people were all looking down, so they could only be judged by their clothes and height. The Tang soldiers had to disguise themselves for a long time before they could deceive some people, so those who came to save their loved ones all lost their lives in the first moment, and more than a dozen people were killed in an instant.
"We've been tricked, let's retreat quickly."
The remaining people wanted to run back, but on the way they came, a circle of torches had been raised. After seeing this scene, the dozen or so people on the mountain did not stay here to support them. They had to return to the mountain immediately. It was obvious that the more than 70 people at the foot of the mountain could not come back. If they stayed here, if the Tang Dynasty army rushed up, they would not even have anywhere to escape.
These rebels never imagined that there was an ambush around them. They had been observing for a whole day and had no idea when these ambushers would come.
During the day they could see clearly from the mountain, but at night they could only see the area around the torches. When they focused all their attention on the torches, the Tang army had already surrounded them. Although there were only a few hundred Fuso people, the casualties they brought to us were not small, and we had dealt a heavy blow to them.
