Chapter 123: Visiting the Enemy Camp at Night
The purpose of the training was discovered, and Xu Chen had no choice but to withdraw the troops.
While he was resting, Zhou Kang ran over and asked Xu Chen, "Big brother, will you attack the city directly?"
"A few smaller torsion spring ballistas were brought with the army, and the walls were not too high, so it would not be a problem to throw the gunpowder jars on them. ”
"Or do you load the van with gunpowder and send it to the downstairs of the city gate, and blow up the city wall directly?"
……
Zhou Kang came up with many ideas to break the city in just a moment, and the teenagers with such sharp weapons as gunpowder would not have much trouble breaking through a city. This is also the reason why Xu Chen had the confidence to take the recruits who had only trained for one month on the road.
It's just that Xu Chen is not in a hurry to attack the city now, he looked at Zhou Kang, and asked with a smile: "Have you read the letter of the third child?"
Zhou Kang was stunned, then nodded and said, "Look!"
"You also know what the letter says, right?" asked Xu Chen flatly.
"Is it because the teacher made us all to go to the water master?" Zhou Kang thought about it and asked.
Xu Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Don't you think it's better for us to stay in this Wuyi Mountain?"
"But we can also make meritorious service when we go to the navy? With the strength of our navy, it is faster to make meritorious contributions, right?" Zhou Kang naturally knew the purpose of the eldest brother's acquisition of political power, and their brothers were not disgusted by coming out to be officials and generals.
"It can indeed make meritorious contributions!" Xu Chen did not object, but shook his head and said, "But it can't be taken seriously!"
"Now the rebel sailors have not yet been dispatched, and the sailors of the imperial court have not even been built, if we take action now, we can naturally defeat the rebel sailors, and it will not be a problem to annihilate them all. ”
"But who cares?"
"Now the court is still only speculating about the danger of the rebel sailors, and no one knows the specific troubles it will bring to the world. At this time, even if we take action to wipe out the rebel sailors, it is just an ordinary military feat. ”
"The icing on the cake is always better than sending charcoal in the snow! After the rebel sailors bring big trouble to the imperial court, it is the time for us to make a move. Now, let's wait in the mountains first, anyway, Yang Xun is stopping here, and we also have an explanation to the imperial court. ”
Xu Chen's words were very cold, as cold as ever.
The real brothers are somewhat uncomfortable with the indifference of the eldest brother, the eldest brother is always like this, except for his own people, the rest of the strangers are like ants, and there is always no soft-heartedness when it is time to sacrifice.
Born and raised in this world, they can't understand the indifference of Xu Chen, a traveler, for Xu Chen, a chaotic intruder, in this strange world, except for those who have had contact with themselves and are familiar, the rest of the strangers are like NPCs in the game, without the slightest temperature.
Xu Chen actually calmly didn't treat them as human beings in his heart!
Since he is not a human being, how could Xu Chen not be ruthless?
Zhou Kang has always been responsible for leading the troops, and his heart is also the most resolute, although he felt that the eldest brother's words were a little cold, but he quickly accepted it.
"That's ...... It's okay! After being incorporated into the imperial court navy, you have to bother to deal with the relationships in various places. ”
"That's right, let them fight first, and when the imperial court sailors can't stand it anymore, we'll take action." ”
"But that Wu Qi can be pushed out, he shouldn't be an incompetent person, right?"
Facing Zhou Kang's worries, Xu Chen shook his head and said: "It's useless! I told you before that the combat strength of the navy in this era mainly depends on two aspects, one is the ships and equipment, and the other is the combat concept. ”
"In terms of equipment, there is not much difference between the imperial court and the rebels, and even if the imperial court has enough capital, whether it is the quantity or quality of warships, it will be stronger than the rebels. ”
However, all the sailors and generals in the imperial court did not change their thinking at all, and they still used the same set on land. But the rebels are different! Just look at He Yun and know that there are still a number of outstanding sailor generals in the rebels. ”
"These are all accumulated by the Yang family over hundreds of years, and if the imperial court wants to keep up, it is impossible not to take some time!"
"Who made the imperial court pay no attention to the navy all the time! Now this evil result can only be swallowed by the imperial court itself......
With the idea of fighting a protracted war, the officers and soldiers will not be in a hurry.
There was still not much new in the afternoon battle, and since the enemy was unwilling to accompany the officers and soldiers to train their troops, they had no choice but to attack the city in a proper manner!
Ladders, rushing cars, crashes and other conventional siege weapons were used by the officers and soldiers one by one, Xu Chen, who was not in a hurry to attack the city, also regarded this place as a place for recruits to train, and the exercises generally let the troops try one by one, so that the recruits should be familiar with these traditional siege equipment!
However, after all, the rebels are not comrades on the exercise ground, and the sword has no eyes, although it is a pity, casualties are always inevitable.
This is also what a strong army must go through! What kind of army is an army that has not seen blood?
How could it be that the group of brothers in Xu Chen's hands didn't come from the sea of blood? After going through so many things, Xu Chen's heart was much tougher not only towards others, but also for his own people.
After the first day of fighting, several unfortunate teenagers left this world permanently.
It's still the same, only the dead, not the injured.
Xu Chen, who had the pill in his hand, as long as he didn't lose his breath on the spot, no matter how serious the injury was, he could be saved.
When camping at night, the atmosphere of the whole camp was a little heavy, and the teenagers who had just parted were still close in their hearts.
Xu Chen, who patrolled the camp at night, did not say too much, at this time silence is better than sound, these emotions always need to be experienced by the young people themselves, only after these, the teenagers can really grow up.
After a day of fighting, the rebels in the gourd valley also suffered a lot of casualties.
Compared with the officers and soldiers who were all protected, although the rebels had a favorable location, they suffered more casualties.
Inspecting the wounded and looking at the old brothers who had passed away, Yang Xun felt even more sad in his heart.
"It can't go on like this!"
It was a very strange feeling that Yang Xun didn't want his brothers to be hurt, and he didn't want Xu Chen's brothers outside the city to be hurt, in fact, what he didn't know was that since Xu Chen appeared outside the city wall of Hulu Valley, he had no heart to fight......
Therefore, Yang Xun decided to do something to change the current deadlock.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xun only took the black-faced young man with him, and secretly ran out of the gourd valley, and actually went to Xu Chen's camp.
The bright camp was close in front of them, and Yang Xun and the others hid in the darkness beyond the light, more than a mile away from the camp.
After waiting in place for only a moment, a young man came out of the official army camp and found the location of Yang Xun and the others with great accuracy.
The young man walked up to Yang Xun and the others and said, "Please come with me!"
This is the reason why Yang Xun took the black-faced boy, Xiao Si, this kid must have an inexplicable connection with a certain teenager next to Xu Chen!
It's just that this stinky boy won't even hide it from himself.
Generously entered the official army camp, and at this moment, except for a few vigil teams, the official army camp had already fallen asleep.
The officers and boys would never have imagined that the leader of the rebel army would run to his own camp alone, and enter the commander's camp even more swaggeringly and without anyone else!
Xu Chen had just fallen asleep, when he was woken up by Hao Xin, and when he learned that Yang Xun was visiting, he had to put on his robe and get up to greet the guests.
Yes, in Xu Chen's eyes, Yang Xun is indeed a guest.
"Visiting late at night, Brother Yang is quite interested!" Xu Chen teased.
"Something to tell you!" Yang Xun didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and sat down opposite Xu Chen by himself.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Xu Chen fiddled with the teapot on the table for a long time, thinking that when the guests visited, he should always prepare a cup of tea, but the tea in the teapot on the table had been cold for a long time, and Xu Chen, who was about to greet the personal kettle to boil water, was stopped by Yang Xun reaching out his hand.
"Don't be busy drinking tea first, listen to me!"
"Okay, you can say it!"
Yang Xun looked at Xu Chen, with a hint of helplessness, but his eyes were firm for a moment, and then he said: "I know that a small path can bypass the gourd valley and lead directly to the Tianxin Rock in the south. ”
"You just want to go to Lingnan to meet Wang Zhongsi, take this path to avoid the checkpoints we have all along the way, and when you get out of the Kowloon Cave, you can bypass a mountain, and beyond the mountain is Lingnan Road. ”
When Xu Chen heard this, he was slightly surprised: "Is there really a path?"
"Huh?" Yang Xun looked at Xu Chen with an inquiry.
Xu Chen smiled and explained: "A guide came to me at night, saying that he knew a path that could go south around the gourd valley, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
"Then why didn't you leave?" Yang asked.
"I can't bear Brother Yang!" Xu Chen joked.
Who knew that Yang Xun's face changed when he heard this, and there was a hint of shyness in the depths of his eyes, but fortunately, the light was dim, and Xu Chen couldn't see it.
"Xu Chen, do you want to be my enemy like that?" Yang Xun thought about it, and felt that Xu Chen didn't want to leave, so he obviously could only want to stay and annihilate them.
"That...... Why does it sound so familiar?" Yang Xun asked with resentment, but he didn't know that Xu Chen was outside the spirit.
"Oh, by the way! I remember! Zhao Min also said this to Zhang Wuji at the beginning!" Xu Chen muttered in a low voice.
When he looked at Yang Xun again, he had many doubts.
Xu Chen felt that he hadn't seen Yang Xun in front of him a few times, ......right?
Although there are only two times, who made Xu Chen have some other thoughts about other sisters!
Xu Chen has tortured himself more than once in the middle of the night, touching his conscience (although Xu Chen doesn't know if he still has this thing) and asking himself: "Are you really? How can you like a beautiful woman when you see one? At the beginning, I swore to cherish the Tang girl, but now I ...... it."
In the end, the answer was naturally positive! Upward! Well, didn't the Book of Poetry also say, "My fair lady, the gentleman is good"! I am just imitating the sages!
Xu Chen felt that he had a tendency to change to a playboy, this is not good!
I'm very single-minded!, okay?
So Xu Chen decided to treat the "eldest brother" in front of him single-mindedly, picked up his apologies to Miss Tang, looked at Yang Xun with a solemn face, and said, "This ...... I'm an official, you're a bandit, and you're born to be an antagonist!"
"I didn't ask you to rebel......
