Not long after the soldiers who went in to deliver the message left, several people walked quickly into the camp.
The person walking at the front was Chen Xunping, followed behind him were Wang Yuncheng and several battalion staff officers.
"Mr. Zhao, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Do you have any instructions from the boss?" Chen Xunping was the first to ask when they met.
Wang Yuncheng, who was standing beside him, said: "Zhang Huai has led his troops to Lingqiu. Does the master want us to go back to Lingqiu?"
Zhao Yutu smiled and said: "Zhang Huai has been defeated. Thousands of soldiers and horses only managed to escape with one or two hundred people."
"With the virtues of Datong soldiers and horses, they still want to attack us, and they don't even know what they are." Chen Xunping sneered.
Wang Yuncheng on the side said: "Mr. Zhao is here this time. Does the boss have a task for us to do?"
Zhao Yutu nodded, and then said: "Let's go back to the big tent first."
The group of people left the camp gate and returned all the way to the Chinese army's tent in the camp.
After they sat down respectively, Zhao Yutu took out a folded piece of white paper from his sleeve and handed it over. At the same time, he said: "This is an order from the Military and Political Department. Take a look!"
Chen Xunping reached out and took it, opened it and held it in front of him to look at it.
After reading it, he handed the piece of paper to Wang Yuncheng beside him and said to himself: "I thought the boss would let us go back to Lingqiu, but it seems we won't be able to go back for a while." The mobile phone remembers it in one second. 『→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful novel reading.
Wang Yuncheng on the other side read the order on the paper, closed it again, and said: "We promise to complete the task, but Mr. Zhao will have to suffer in the camp for a few days."
"How do you plan to capture Xinping Fort?" Zhao Yutu asked the two people in front of him.
Chen Xunping said in a calm tone: "There are more than 60 cannons in the camp. If we take them to the city and fire a few rounds, we can even capture the city of Datong."
"I agree with Chen Yingzheng's approach." Wang Yuncheng nodded in agreement.
The two of them were confident about taking Xinpingbao.
"When are you two going to send troops?" Zhao Yutu asked.
Chen Xunping thought for a while and said: "Since I found out that the imperial court designated our Tiger Flag as a rebel bandit, many people in the camp have been clamoring to attack Datong Fucheng, so I don't think we need to wait any longer. We might as well use troops against Xinping Fort tomorrow. .”
"I think it's okay." Wang Yuncheng agreed.
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "You make the decision in military matters. After all, you are the general and deputy general of the army. However, for General Li Huaixin of Xinpingbao, the master's intention is to spare his life."
"As long as he is not unlucky enough to be under the muzzle of a gun, I will try my best to save his life," Chen Xunping said.
Wang Yuncheng on the side asked thoughtfully: "Does the boss have any plans?"
"I don't know, but judging from the boss's intentions, he has no intention of sending troops to capture Datong. Even Lingqiu County is still in the hands of the county magistrate Guo Binchang." Zhao Yutu said.
Chen Xunping interjected: "Don't think so much, we just need to fulfill the boss's orders."
"That's right." Wang Yuncheng smiled.
"Then let me first wish the two battalions a successful start tomorrow and capture Xinping Fort." Zhao Yutu bowed his hands to the two men.
Chen Xunping said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the strength of the camp, we can definitely capture Xinping Fort in one day."
At this time, a whistle sounded in the camp, and it sounded three times in a row.
"It's time to eat. Let's go get some food first and talk about anything we have to say while we eat." Wang Yuncheng suggested.
There is no small stove in every military camp of Tiger Character Banner. No matter whether they are camp leaders or ordinary soldiers, they eat the same food. As long as there is no special matter, everyone will go to the cooking team to get food in person.
After eating, Zhao Yutu stayed in the camp.
Early the next morning, drums sounded in the camp.
Bang! Bang...bang!
Groups of soldiers began to assemble. The banner with the tiger character flag was erected on one side of the general platform. Chen Xunping, Wang Yuncheng and several staff members stood on the platform.
After the army was assembled, Chen Xunping waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
One by one, the combat troops walked out of the camp, and the sentinel cavalry went ahead to explore the way ahead.
The camp was only a dozen miles away from Xinping Fort, and the cavalry soon appeared near Xinping Fort.
"The enemy is attacking, close the city gate quickly!" Seeing the brigade of tiger-shaped flag cavalry appear, the city gate guard hurriedly ordered to close the city gate that had just been opened.
The Tiger Banner cavalry who appeared near Xinping Fort did not stop them from closing the city gate, but allowed the people in Xinping Fort to close the city gate.
"Damn it, did the Tiger Banner want to rebel or something, and they actually sent so many cavalry?" The guard on the city head looked at the Tiger Banner cavalry wearing black armor outside the city, and subconsciously grinned.
A soldier on the side said: "Boss, you have forgotten that the imperial court has designated the tiger-character flag as a rebellion. I heard that the commander-in-chief has led his troops to Lingqiu to quell the rebellion."
The news of Zhang Huai's defeat in Lingqiu has not yet reached Xinping Fort, so Xinping Fort only knows that Zhang Huai went to Lingqiu to quell the rebellion, but does not know that the official army has been defeated.
"I know, I don't need you to remind me." The guard scolded the soldier next to him.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the top of the city: "The army, the army of the Tiger Flag is coming, they are coming to attack Xinping Fort."
The news of the Tiger-Character Banner's rebellion has long been spread throughout Xinping Fort. From the guards at the border forts to the butchers and traders, the soldiers on the city wall now saw the Tiger-Character Banner army coming back from the grassland. He immediately thought that the other party was attacking Xinping Fort.
The guard at the top of the city was lying on the edge of the female wall, stretching his neck to look in the direction of the grassland.
As far as he could see, a dark army was moving towards Xinpingbao.
"Quick, go to the general, tell me that the Tiger Character Banner is coming to attack Xinping Fort." The guard did not dare to waste time and immediately ordered a soldier next to him to deliver the message.
No one thought that Tiger Character Banner's attack on Xinping Fort was a joke. After all, Tiger Character Banner was already a traitor, and attacking Xinping Fort was not impossible.
Shortly after the soldier who delivered the message left, a soldier who stayed next to the guard stammered: "Head, head, can we hold on?"
"You can hold on!" the guard said in an uncertain tone.
The soldier said again: "Even the Northern barbarians are no match for the troops of the Tiger Flag. Our small number of people in Xinpingbao is not as large as the Northern barbarians who invaded the border last time."
