The night was dark, the wind and snow were raging, and the Ming soldiers on duty on the Tashan Fort watchtower shrank their necks and looked out from time to time. The cold snowflakes scraped on their faces, making them shiver.
"Xue Duzi, look there seems to be movement over there." A Ming soldier on the watchtower squinted his eyes and looked northwest. A Ming soldier behind him walked out from inside: "What kind of movement can there be in the snow on this cold day? It can't be the police calling."
"There seems to be fire, look over there..." The Ming army man named Xue Duzi squinted his eyes and looked over there carefully. In the dark night, there seemed to be a real fire flashing.
"It's so late, it's better to light a torch near Tashan Fort. That must be one of our own." According to experience, Ye Bushou outside sent urgent information. The two people hurriedly informed the people below, and soon a mobile unit on duty came Waiting at the gate of the city, after a while, a cry came from outside: "The 12th Battalion of Guan Ning, we will not accept the sixth group of Bing Zi at night." After saying this, he took the waist badge and put it in the frame. The Ming army at the top of the city checked it. After that, he asked the people below to open the door and let him in.
"I want to see General Tu of Black Tiger Camp!" After Zhang Sui entered the fort, he went straight to Tu Yuan's residence. Soon Li Muxian, Ji Jike and others heard the news and got up. Could it be that there was some urgent military situation? Marco is here too.
"Back to the general, *** a few days ago began to secretly mobilize thousands of troops to garrison Songjiang City, like a sword pointing at Tashan Fort." Zhang Sui bowed and said: "The information was passed from Jinzhou City, and three brothers were lost for this." .
"Is it so chaotic outside?" Li Muchian frowned. He was actually worried about Chang Yu's safety.
"Recently, the Communist Party has been operating extremely frequently in the surrounding areas. They often send out dozens of troops to conduct interrogations or interceptions. The surrounding villages and towns have become smoky. Our people have encountered them several times and fought several times..." Zhang Sui said. Suddenly something came to mind: "By the way, a message came from Jinzhou City saying that you must go to General Tu."
"Say" Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Fenglang lives in Xu, come quickly."
When Tu Yuan heard this, he stood up and reached out to lift Zhang Sui up: "How long did it take for this news to come out?" Zhang Sui was so frightened that his face turned pale: "It was only a day and a half."
Tu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, threw him to the side, and then shouted to the soldiers at the door: "Send the order to assemble. After saying that, he was busy putting on his helmet and armor." Li Muchian and others knew something was wrong when they saw this, and guessed that the matter had something to do with Chang Yu , the master must have made relevant arrangements with Tu Yuan before going out.
"Old Tu, where are you going?" Ji Jike was the first to speak.
"Be that champion." Tu Yuan chuckled while putting on his armor. Ji Jike raised a brow: "Are you going to Jinzhou City? I'll go with you."
"No need." Tu Yuan waved his hand: "I can do it with one person and one camp."
"There are tens of thousands of people in Jinzhou. It's too dangerous for you to go alone..." Ji Jike urged, but Tu Yuan still shook his head: "The most dangerous place at this time is Tashan Fort. Didn't you just listen to the spies? ** *Secretly deploying troops and generals to get here, you should stay here to help Commander Ma defend the city." Then he smiled proudly: "The champion lord can ride 800 horses across Mobei. I may not be able to compare with him, but A battalion goes to Jinzhou City alone, and there is nothing the *** can do to me!"
Ji Jike still persisted, but Li Muchian came to persuade him: "General Tu's words are reasonable. Since *** secretly mobilized troops, they want to launch a surprise attack on us. A war may break out at any time. General Ji will stay here to defend the city, and he wants to come." The Governor is more than capable of handling it, otherwise he wouldn’t be allowed to go alone!”
Ji Jike no longer forced him to go with him, but Ma Keer was still a little confused: "What does it mean that General Tu wants to go to Jinzhou City? To harass and confuse the enemy, or to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Tu Yuan laughed loudly: "General Ma is not asleep yet. Wake up, what did the spy say just now? The news came from Jinzhou City."
Ma Ke was startled, then looked horrified: "The Governor is currently in Jinzhou City!"
In the wind and snow, three hundred soldiers from the Black Tiger Battalion put on their armor and left the city, disappearing into the vast night. Li Muxian and Ma Ke stood on the lookout and looked at the dark night with extremely solemn expressions.
*** Actually want to take action first!
Although I had been mentally prepared for it, it was still a bit unexpected when it actually came.
Accidents are accidents, they have to be done anyway. Fortunately, Tashan has already made preparations, but even so, Ma Ke still sent someone to Ningyuan overnight to inform Zu Dashou, so that he could be ready for reinforcements at any time.
Everyone knows that this battle is inevitable, and everyone also knows what determines the outcome of this battle.
It's really cold at night.
But after the three hundred warriors of the Black Tiger Camp galloped for more than ten miles, their coldness subsided and their hearts were filled with heat. Someone shouted: "General, what are we doing out here?"
Yes, most of the soldiers didn't know what they were doing. Military orders were overwhelming. They obeyed all military orders unconditionally, even if they were sleeping soundly in a warm bed. When the order was given, they put on their armor and mounted their horses and left the city.
"I'm so bored inside, why don't we go out and kill a few people to relieve our boredom?" Tu Yuan chuckled, and the soldiers behind him immediately echoed loudly: "How about we go directly to the outside of Songshan City? I heard that the Yingying people went there last time. , nothing was found, but after coming back, everyone was very happy. General, let's go for a walk."
"What do you two think?" Tu Yuan turned to look at the two cavalrymen beside him. They were none other than Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan. The two men stirred up trouble in Shanhaiguan a few months ago. They were directly kicked off from the deputy Qianhu, and one of them was kicked off to the general flag. A deputy 100 households.
Wang Fuchen was originally Ji Jike's subordinate. Tu Yuan also seconded him this time because Zu Runze passed a message from Chang Yu last time, saying that he should take these two guys with him when he went out, one for punishment and the other for training. , Third, these two guys are indeed brave and powerful. They are not a bit more powerful than the general soldiers under their command. They feel quite safe when they go out with them.
"We will attack wherever the general points," Wang Fuchen said quickly, while Wu Mushan frowned: "We went there in the middle of the night and we didn't meet anyone. Instead, the Yingying camp laughed at us for copying what he was doing."
[In view of the general environment,
"That's true. What Mr. Baihu said makes sense. The people from Qi Ying camp still mocked us for deliberately going there knowing no one was around at night." Some of his subordinates echoed.
Tu Yuan snorted: "It's almost midnight now, it's already dawn if we wander over there, just in time to meet the first group of people going out, hehe..."
"General, aren't we going to Jinzhou City..." Wang Fuchen asked in a low voice. Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, we can't miss the main business" and then added: "But it won't delay us from shouting a few times on the way."
It was very interesting to go out to have fun on a snowy night. The fighting spirit of the three hundred warriors was so high that they galloped all the way to Xingshan Fort without meeting anyone. Then they whipped up their whips and headed to Songshan. The lights of the city could be vaguely seen several miles away. This made Tu Yuan a little confused.
Something was wrong with the general, and Wang Fuchen was also alert: "At this time, around Yinzheng (at four o'clock in the morning), it is impossible to have such a big light in the city, let alone how many miles away it can be seen on this windy and snowy night, I'm afraid ..."
"Yes, they are busy inside preparing to plot against us." Tu Yuan thought of the news sent by the spies, saying that the Communist Party secretly transferred troops from Jinzhou to Songshan, thinking of raiding Tashan Fort. Judging from this movement, it is estimated that they will soon It's time to take action.
In fact, Songshan City was under construction day and night, and it was almost brightly lit at night, which provided a good cover for the Japanese to mobilize troops. However, Songshan Mountain, a few miles away, was also so brightly lit, which aroused Tu Yuan's concern. Be alert, think of that piece of information, and you will know what it means.
"He wants to plot against us?" Wang Fuchen was startled, and Tu Yuan sneered: "I have been following the Governor for so long, and I have never seen him plotting against others. I have never been plotted by others, at least he has never succeeded." He said with a shout : "Brothers, give them a shout."
"Report, general, there is a group of reconnaissance cavalry ahead." At this time, his subordinates came to report. Tu Yuan was overjoyed: "Butchered!"
