"Haha, seeing how straightforward my brother is and getting angry with me, even if we don't become sworn brothers, we still treat each other as brothers. What do you think?"
"Oh, brother, do you think I haven't asked you your surname yet? Feng Erdan seemed to have suddenly remembered it.
Chen Xiaomu cupped his fists and said, "This is Wu Xiaoba."
"Okay, okay, brother Wu, I, Feng Erdan, am nearly thirty years old. I think I am much older than you. How about I call you my brother as a courtesy?"
Chen Xiaomu nodded repeatedly, "Brother Feng, you're too polite, that's what you should be doing!"
The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Feng Erdan rubbed his hands together habitually, breathing in the heat on his hands.
Chen Xiaomu frowned, "Brother Feng, do you think this is good? You and Brother Wang go to General Gao's tent to warm up. I'll keep an eye on you here. If anyone comes to ask, I will tell you that you two are executing General Gao's temporary The mission is off!"
Feng Erdan shook his head, "Brother Wu, this won't work. The commander of our patrol camp issued a death order tonight. The sentries cannot leave their posts even an inch!"
Chen Xiaomu took out a small ingot of silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, "Brother Feng, you see it's so cold! What I mean is that you go to the kitchen and find some acquaintances to buy some wine and meat. After the sentry goes down tomorrow morning, We brothers are looking for a place to have a good drink. Originally, I wanted little brother Wang to go find some wine and meat alone, but then I thought about it, this little brother Wang has just been transferred here, and he is not familiar with the place. You two go and come back quickly. General Gao’s face is here, no one will take such a trivial matter as standing guard seriously!”
Feng Erdan quietly looked at the money in his hand and estimated that it was five taels. In addition to the money for wine and meat, he still had at least four taels left. He hesitated and handed the Goulian gun to Chen Xiaomu.
"Brother Wu, I'll help you. If the centurion asks..."
"Go quickly, I will tell the centurion that you are on the order of General Gao to get something and come back. If it doesn't work, I and Wang will go and ask General Gao to say hello to your patrol envoy tomorrow morning." ! But you must go back quickly!" Chen Xiaomu took the Goulian gun from Feng Erdan's hand and gently pushed Feng Erdan's back!
Watching Feng Erdan and Wang Xiaomu gradually disappear into the night, Chen Xiaomu turned around and waved. More than a dozen scouts immediately crawled over on the ground, took out the small explosive bag in their arms and handed it to Chen Xiaomu. Chen Xiaomu handed the small explosive bag to Chen Xiaomu. The explosive packets were stacked against the tent in a perfect glyph shape, so that there was no need to waste time igniting the explosive packets one by one. You only need to light one of the explosive packets below to detonate the other explosive packets, just in case Chen Xiaomu left it on himself. He left two small explosive packets with Li Guilin when he left. If the effect was not satisfactory later, he would have to rush over and re-explode them by throwing them with his hands.
After arranging the explosive package, Chen Xiaomu took out the explosive package and shook it gently in his hand. With a "slap" sound, sparks burst out from the explosive package. He stretched out his hand to light the explosive package's explosive, and the explosive began to sizzle and explode!
"Who, what are you doing?" At this time, the two sentries in front of the tent noticed that there was a fire here, and immediately ran towards this side with long guns in hand. Chen Xiaomu immediately went up to meet him, pointing with his finger into the dark distance under the night sky, " Hurry and chase, we just found two spies from Zheng Guo!"
The two sentries were stunned for a moment, but when they saw clearly the armor Chen Xiaomu was wearing and the gun in his hand, they thought they were soldiers from the patrol battalion like them, so they chased him in the direction of Chen Xiaomu's finger!
Chen Xiaomu did not dare to neglect, and turned around to escape. Unexpectedly, the rolling shutter door of the tent was suddenly opened, and a military general stretched out his head and shouted, "Who dares to make a noise in front of General Guo's tent!"
Chen Xiaomu ignored him and turned around and ran away. The general was stunned for a moment, then rushed out of the tent and pointed at Chen Xiaomu's back, "Bold maniac, give me..." Before the word "I" came out of the general's mouth, he was drowned in a loud sound that shook the sky. , the huge tent behind him disappeared in a burst of fireworks!
Although Chen Xiaomu was running very fast, he was pushed into the air by the huge shock wave of the explosive behind him and turned over several times. The fall made him dizzy.
This seemed to have stirred a hornet's nest. Chu soldiers from all over the camp were running towards the place where the explosion occurred. The shouting of people and horses became a mess. Chen Xiaomu, with a dozen scouts, also turned around and ran towards the big tent. , he was anxious to know the result of this bombing, because they wore the same armor as the Chu soldiers, and no Chu army paid special attention to them.
But when Chen Xiaomu ran to the blown-up tent and stretched his head to take a look, his heart suddenly became cold. Although there were many corpses lying on the ground, the general Guo Huai and a dozen armed men were not dead. They were probably sitting there. Because the explosives were relatively far away, Guo Huai was only slightly injured. The generals sitting around him were almost as slightly injured as Guo Huai!
Some Chu officers and soldiers who had arrived early had already passed by and were about to take Guo Huai away. Chen Xiaomu was thinking of countermeasures in his mind. Suddenly, his armor was pulled from behind. He turned around and saw that he was entering the Chu army with him. The scout from the camp was short and lean, about thirty years old. Seeing Chen Xiaomu turning to look at him, he hurriedly gave him a piece of linen torn from his clothes, and then took advantage of Chen Xiaomu's stunned look. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a pack of explosives from his arms, quickly lit it with a fire stick, and rushed towards the soldiers who were carrying Guo Huai out. Behind him, a Chu army officer with quick eyesight and quick hands pulled out his sword and threw it at his back. He was penetrated from front to back at once, but he also managed to rush behind Guo Huai.
Chen Xiaomu then retreated behind a group of Chu soldiers, only to hear a loud "boom", and a lot of human minced meat, thighs and arms fell from the air. Although the amount of medicine this time was small, more people seemed to be killed than the last time. Mainly because this time the crowd was relatively dense and almost all gathered around Guo Huai and others. In addition, the scout had a large porcelain bottle of gasoline in his arms to aid combustion.
Without bothering to check the results of the explosion again, Chen Xiaomu immediately implemented his next plan and set a fire. Following the running Chu soldiers, he began to search for the target of the fire in the camp.
The neighing of a war horse attracted Chen Xiaomu's attention. He turned around two rows of tents and a large stable appeared in front of him. There were hundreds of horses tied in the stable, and more than a dozen grooms were feeding the horses. He took the porcelain bottle of gasoline from his arms, lit it on fire and threw it into the trough of the war horse. With a click and the sound of the porcelain bottle being smashed, the fire rushed into the stable with a roar. The horses in the stable were suddenly in chaos, and the entire stable was burned to the ground. A fire dragon, the war horse broke free from the reins and ran towards the outside of the stable!
Turning out of the stable, Chen Xiaomu saw thick smoke in many places in the Chu Army camp. It was probably because the scouts who came in with him were setting fires everywhere in the Chu Army camp as planned.
A large group of Chu soldiers hurried past him, led by an officer who looked like a capital official. On a whim, Chen Xiaomu took out the last explosive bag in his pocket and lit it. He threw the Chu soldiers hard towards the group and fell to the ground. , there was another bang, and the group of Chu soldiers fell down in a large area with howling like ghosts and wolves!
The Chu army camp stationed with 200,000 troops was too big, with a radius of nearly 20 miles. Chen Xiaomu felt that if the tens of thousands of defenders in Tianquan County could not be allowed to leave the city to attack, even if the Chu army was in a leaderless and chaotic state, It is impossible to defeat so many Chu soldiers and horses with just more than a thousand troops and some explosives! And now is the best time to attack the Chu army!
Chen Xiaomu's heart skipped a beat, and he spread his legs and ran towards the Tianquan County wall. In the dark night, the cold wind whistled in his ears, and the armor on his body rattled. Chen Xiaomu was sweating profusely from running, and he couldn't run anymore. I had no choice but to bend over and gasp for breath on the side of the road.
There was a "boom" sound of an explosive pack exploding from behind Chen Xiaomu, followed by a storm of horse hooves. He turned around and saw a group of soldiers wearing Zheng army armor roaring towards them on war horses. The leader was Ximen Song. , one hand was holding a ghost-headed sword, and the other hand was hung by linen cloth on his chest when Chen Xiaomu set his bones.
Chen Xiaomu hurriedly ducked behind a big tree on the side of the road. He was afraid that he would be hit to death by a horse because he could not see clearly at night, or that Ximen Song might think he was a Chu soldier and chop him down. It was not until the entire cavalry was about to pass in front of him that he saw the opportunity. Come out from behind the tree!
Coincidentally, the veteran Zhong Xin was running at the end of the horse team. Because his foot was broken, he couldn't use his legs to clamp the horse's belly to make the horse run faster, so he fell behind. He saw a Chu walking out from behind the big tree. The soldiers of the army immediately stabbed him with their spears. Chen Xiaomu was startled and hurriedly hid behind the big tree. Fortunately, Zhong Xin's foot was broken and he moved slower, otherwise Chen Xiaomu would have been picked by him as a Chu army.
Even if it was just like this, Chen Xiaomu's voice changed with fear, and he said urgently, "General Zhong, it's me!"
Zhong Xin heard the familiar sound and hurriedly put away his gun. When he took a closer look, it was His Highness the Sixth Prince wearing Chu army armor who appeared from behind the tree with an embarrassed look on his face!
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Zhong Xin asked strangely.
Now it was Chen Xiaomu's turn to be surprised, "Didn't Li Gui tell you when he got back?"
Zhong Xin shook his head, "Li Gui just said that he would attack the Chu army's camp tonight. He didn't mention anything else. I didn't see you when we formed the team. I thought you fled back to Chen State to save your life!" "
Chen Xiaomu sighed, "Forget it, let's chase them quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble if they are scattered later!"
When Chen Xiaomu and Zhong Xin caught up with Su Xingran and his group, they saw several scouts wearing Chu army armor and Li Gui's men standing talking in front of Guo Huai's tent that he had just blown up. They saw Zhong Xin leading Chen Xiaomu After chasing him, Su Xingran immediately took the lead to greet him!
Before Su Xingran could speak, Chen Xiaomu said hastily, "Honey, almost all the generals of the Chu army have been killed. While they are in chaos, quickly ask your father to open the city gate and fight back, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted!"
The city wall of Tianquan County is only about ten meters high. The wall of the city wall was riddled with holes by the trebuchets used by the Chu army who attacked the city for days. Even the gatehouse on the city wall was hit by the stones thrown by the trebuchets. It collapsed, and there was a moat nearly twenty meters wide beside the city wall. At this time, there was a layer of ice in the river!
