At midnight at midnight, the camp was in the south of Tancheng.
"Are you all ready?"
Xu Zongwen, Shen Yu, Zheng Lue, Tian Luo, and Zhang Gui gathered in the military tent. They were prepared and everything was ready. They only owed east wind.
Shen Yu arched his head and said: "Come back to the captain, our troops have been deployed. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we will kill him within half an hour!"
"Five hundred of my subordinates are waiting in ambush at the north gate of the camp!"
"Five hundred of my subordinates are waiting in ambush at the south gate of the camp!"
"Very good," Xu Zongwen nodded secretly. After marching into Xiapi and capturing Tancheng, the team leaders of each unit had already cooperated very closely. He turned to Zhang Si beside him and asked: "Let your people pay attention to the movements at any time. Once If there is a change, sound the Dyprosium signal, everyone will surround the camp and kill the troublemakers!"
"Promise!" All the generals were solemn and obeyed their leaders' orders.
…
In a military tent in the camp, several sneaky Qin soldiers gathered from all directions.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the general has spoken, get ready for action!" In the dense military tent, there was no one outside the bare tent. At this time, under the moonlight, more than a hundred animals wearing various colors of mink, fox, sheep and other animals suddenly appeared under the moonlight. The Hu tribe in clothes were young and strong, holding wooden sticks and scimitars in their hands, and headed straight for the largest place among all the military tents as quickly as possible.
"You guys, hurry up when you get this guy!" An old man with beard and hair covered in falling snowflakes stood hunched at the wooden door of the thatched house. He was leaning on a rotten wood crutch in his hand, heading towards Qingqiang urged loudly, and his voice was full of energy.
Look closely at this old man, who has a high nose and deep eyes, a white face and a beard. The pupils of his two eyes exude orchid eyes, which are extremely dazzling under the milky white moonlight!
"Yes, Captain." The young Hu men who passed by the old man and entered the wooden door bowed their heads and held their hands in an extremely respectful manner.
"Captain, it's snowing heavily outside. You are already very old. It's hard for you to be so strong! Why don't you go inside? The boys are fast, so you don't have to worry." There was one among the young and strong men. A man less than seven feet tall, with a grin on his face and exhaled mist as he spoke, stopped in front of the old man.
Looking closely, although this man looks plain-looking, his eyes are inexplicably bright, giving the impression that he is very capable. It is worth mentioning that this man is tall and mighty, and he also has the same appearance as the old man.
The young men gathered from all directions quietly dispersed in the military tent, and finally gathered into one force, and then poured towards the center, as many as a thousand people!
Moving his steps slightly, the old man suppressed his voice and said, "We have already explored and the Jin army has withdrawn during the day! The general called us to take action today to take back Tancheng, which originally belonged to us!" "
After saying this, the old man awkwardly raised his birch stick and pointed at the top of a snow-covered tree outside the door.
The man turned around and looked along the crutch. Under the moonlight, on the sparse branches on the top of the snowy tree, a black and mysterious sea turtle rested silently on it. When there was more snow, it flapped its wings. It flapped the white snow on its feathers, and then flew around the snow tree several times before returning to the original branch.
The consecutive movements lasted only a few breaths, and the man was dazzled by what he saw. Then he saw Hai Dongqing's appearance clearly, pointed his finger at the staring Hai Dongqing and exclaimed: "What you see is what the Jin army wants." As you can see, how many men and horses are ambushing around this camp?"
He turned around and looked at the old man, eager to get an accurate answer, but the old man only gave him a gentle nod in reply.
"I saw it, go in and see the general!"
More than a hundred people were crowded inside and outside the military tent. In the middle and lower right corner of the room sat the old man who had just gathered people outside the wooden door. The other dozen people stood upright in several queues. Outside the room, there were more than a hundred people wearing a leather jacket. The hat stands on top of the snow.
Through the light of the weak candlelight in the tent, the man sitting at the head of the military tent was only wearing a single coat of Gebu. He had leopard eyes and a tiger beard. He had a killing spirit and a tattoo on his left cheek below his ear. The arrow wound grazed the cheek and went to the back of the head. It was extremely frightening. Although the beard was gray, the power of the old tiger was still there!
At this time, the man used the knife to listen to his subordinate's report, and at the same time, he casually wiped the extremely sharp long knife with a white Gebu.
"It turns out that the general has got the news a long time ago! As long as we kill the Bird Cavalry Captain this time, we can coerce these 7,000 troops to reoccupy Tancheng!"
At this time, he took off the warm hat on his head, revealing the braided hair on his head, which is the French style of the Lushui Hu tribe.
"Yes, send the order, go straight to Xu Xiao's army tent, don't delay, kill Xu Xiao and break out of the camp from the north gate, capture the south city, and then control other city gates!"
"Follow military orders!"
At that time, just as snoring was everywhere in the military tent of the camp, a killing cry also came from the darkness!
A large number of barbarians with hidden weapons rushed out of their respective military tents and gathered in the same direction to kill!
That is the military tent east of the camp where Xu Zongwen is located!
Xu Zongwen had already received the news from Shen Yu that some of the seven thousand surrendered troops were going to rebel, so he did not leave Nancheng that night. He deliberately stayed in the camp to prepare to preside over the suppression of the upcoming rebellion!
"Qidu Lieutenant, the surrendered troops have rebelled! The surrendered troops have rebelled!" Pang Bai rushed into the military tent in a panic. Xu Zongwen was discussing with the generals on the deployment of military forces. Just now he heard the sound of thunder. Now that he got the news, he With a stern face, he started to slap the case!
"I know." Xu Zongwen said coldly, nodding slightly towards Pang Bai, who slowly exited the tent.
Xu Zongwen turned around and said loudly: "Send the order and all the ambushing troops will quickly enter the camp and surround the rebels. Anyone holding a weapon will be killed without mercy!"
"No!" Shen Yu, Zheng Lue, Tian Luo, and Zhang Gui looked indifferent. They received military orders one after another and went out to lead the troops to quell the chaos.
Xu Zongwen called Zhang Si again and said, "Have you even placed the crossbow?"
The Jin army obeyed Xu Zongwen's order and transported all the ordnance in the Xiapi arsenal to Tancheng to prepare for the siege. However, due to the outstanding performance of Zhang San and his soldiers, the Jin army was able to easily capture Tancheng by cooperating internally and externally, including various large siege equipment and powerful crossbows. There isn't much room for improvement.
Therefore, upon learning that there was a change in the Qin army's surrender, Xu Zongwen immediately sent Zhang Si to the Jin army camp to transport a large number of ordnance and weapons from the Xiapi arsenal to Nancheng, and armed more than two thousand Jin troops guarding the Nancheng camp. military.
"One thousand sleeve crossbows, two thousand serial crossbows, fifty Wanjun divine crossbows, and countless other armors, steel swords and shields, all have been arranged and are just waiting for the command from the Cavalry Commander!"
The sleeve crossbow is a small crossbow machine that can be carried by everyone. It fires one crossbow arrow at a time and is extremely fast. The continuous crossbow fires three to five crossbow arrows at a time. It requires two sergeants to operate, and each person takes turns to replace the crossbow arrows and fire them.
The Wanjun Divine Crossbow is a powerful siege weapon. It consists of a crossbow machine, a mother arrow and several sub-arrows. When the mother arrow is fired, it will branch out into many small arrows to attack the enemy. It is worth mentioning that the specifications of the Wanjun Crossbow are unmatched by any crossbow machine!
The Wanjun Divine Crossbow can only be used when installed on a chariot or a fixed frame. For this reason, Zhang Si collected fifty chariots and hid them near the camp. The power of the Wanjun Divine Crossbow can reach 6,000 kilograms, and the length of the crossbow can reach two feet. It requires the combined efforts of four people and a winch to draw the string.
The arrows used in the Wanjun Divine Crossbow are also quite astonishing. The largest female arrow used in its chariot crossbow is nine feet long, and the arrow head alone is only one foot long. The circumference of the sub-arrow is five inches, and the maximum range can reach a full foot. Li, a full five hundred steps away!
"It is especially forgivable if God does evil, but unforgivable if he does it himself! This time, Captain Ben gave them a way to survive, but they themselves don't know how to cherish it!"
Xu Zongwen packed up his armor, picked up his sword, raised the tent and stepped out, mounted the green thunder horse given by Emperor Jin, and ran straight out to the north gate exit of the camp, which was less than a hundred steps away!
Xu Zongwen raised his neck and briefly looked at the falling snow flakes in the sky, patted Qing Lei on his crotch, and then stared at the heavy snow dancing in the air in front of him with his pair of black eyes, and saw that his whole body was getting more and more... The spirit rose.
Tonight, some people are destined to be sacrificed. Tonight, some people are destined to fall in a pool of blood. Tonight, he, Xu Zongwen, is destined to be called the executioner!
However, he will not miss anyone who should be protected, and similarly, he will not show mercy to anyone who should be killed!
Prefect's Mansion, inner courtyard study.
"Where is this?"
"Girl, you are in the study room in the inner courtyard of the prefecture. You drank too much last night. The captain of the cavalry asked the doctor to give you a prescription to relieve your hangover."
Nie Zhen'er held her head and began to slowly adapt to the surrounding environment.
She slept on an octagonal moiré nanmu couch. There was a moved rose chair with a folding back on the nearest side. The small window on the opposite side was slightly open, and there was a faint cold wind seeping in during the night. It's so cold.
"That was a special order given by Captain Cavalry before he left early in the morning. He said it was to prevent the charcoal fire from getting too hot and causing the air in the bedroom to be suffocated. The girl needs to rest right now. If her chest feels tight, she will not be in a good mood. So let the maids not be so tight."
Seeing Nie Zhen'er staring closely at Xiaoxuan window, the maid stepped forward and explained.
"Oh." Li Yu nodded, but didn't take it seriously.
She just heard the word "study" and thought it was inappropriate. She walked closer with an oil lamp and carefully looked at the furnishings in the entire room, but there was no book.
A study room without books is really interesting.
In the early morning, Xu Zongwen had time to visit the backyard. He stayed at the door, just staring blankly at her sleeping peacefully on the couch. Half an hour passed until his eyes became blurred!
"Serve Miss Zhen'er well until she wakes up."
During the day, Xu Zongwen did not approach, leaving only this sentence before turning around and leaving.
