Chapter 061: Stragglers
In early autumn, the morning glow hung like a red veil above the heads of the 100,000 troops of the Chen State. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Three hundred zhang away from the general tent of Chen Minghui, the commander of the 100,000 army, nine soldiers set up two camp tents next to each other, which was not too unusual, but in one of the camp tents there was a stunning beauty archer!
Some of the soldiers in the nearby tent saw this female archer with their own eyes, and the news spread in amazement, and from time to time a handful of soldiers would come here to spy on the beauty.
Xue Ningqing only glanced at his eyes and saw a few people poking his brain outside the tent, walked out of the tent directly, and put on a good-looking posture in front of them, looking at it with ethereal eyes: "Is it good-looking?" She took the initiative to say hello to these people.
When the commotion-filled soldier saw this scene, he couldn't help but step forward: "The chick is so beautiful!" Where did you come from? We don't think we have any archers in our army. ”
"Can this young lady tell me your name?" Miss, you are so beautiful, I have never seen you so ...... Such a beautiful ......."
What's more, the salty pig's hand was directly stretched out, but it was slapped away by Xue Ningqing's palm in mid-air.
"Humph!" Xue Ningqing sneered, "I came from the army further back to see my sweetheart, you can only see a woman when you touch his light, but-you can only see, not touch!" ”
At this time, it happened that Qiu Sheng came back with a bag of rice, Xue Ningqing's eyes turned and he ran to him tenderly, and shouted delicately: "Brother, you are here." ”
Although Qiu Sheng had already told her about pretending to be a couple, he still couldn't stand this suddenness, and his originally resolute face turned red.
Seeing that there was a circle of bachelors next to him who were empty and unhappy, they were envious, jealous and hated to the core, and each shook his hands twice and left, no longer watching them show affection.
Xue Ningqing wrapped Qiu Sheng's arm around him, dragged him to the camp tent, and fell directly down the curtain at the door.
Putting down the rice bag, Qiu Sheng sat on the ground, Xue Ningqing sat in front of him and looked at his still red face: "What did you hear?" ”
Qiu Sheng lowered his voice and said: "There are a total of ten wizards in the mage group, and at the commanding heights of the high ground on the west flank of the army, each of them lives in a purple tent, and there is no one around to guard it, but there is an enchantment that cannot be passed. ”
"What else?"
"The squad responsible for distributing military rations lives nearby, each in charge of a hundred camp tents, a total of 100 people, living in five large camp tents, all of whom are close associates of General Chen Minghui. A large quantity of grain and grass came once every ten days, and it had just come once three days ago. ”
"Is there any other news? Will the army in the rear of Chen Guo come over? ”
"I haven't heard anything about this yet."
"Okay, let's start tonight, you just need to do what I told you, and then stay in the barracks, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Xue Ningqing's deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "You mean to break into the camp of the mage group alone?!" ”
Xue Ningqing took a sip of tea and nodded.
Qiu Sheng was taken aback: "Are you sure?" The worry on his face could not be hidden.
Xue Ningqing raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Qiu Sheng, whether I'm sure or not, you will definitely survive this time, as long as you do this, you will be satisfied, right?" ”
Qiu Sheng was speechless, it was originally true, but what if he and his people survived in the end, and Xue Ningqing died a funny death? It's not morally good to think about it.
Frowning, Qiu Sheng didn't speak again, but took rice and an iron pot and went out to find another camp tent's subordinates to make a fire to cook.
Xue Ningqing sat in front of the camp tent after eating and talked and laughed, she was speechless about the army of this world in her heart, they were only closely guarded in front, but there was almost no orderly investigation and deployment in the dense camp tent and even behind the army, maybe it was because Chen Guo's army was all mercenaries? Or is it because they've been here for too long and think they've completely ruled out the hidden dangers? Or is it overconfidence in a powerful group of mages?
Before nightfall, she carefully observed the activities of the soldiers around her again, and played out the predetermined plan in her mind.
Finally, in the middle of the night, in front of the five huge tents in the middle of the army, several braziers that had been burning all night creaked at the same time, and then extinguished at the same time!
Nine black shadows shuttled around the five tents, and a knife cut through the thick felt cloth of the tent, and puffs of smoke drifted into the tent.
The nine dark shadows were all masked, covering their mouths and noses, and they communicated with each other in gestures.
A few moments later, they entered the tent in twos and threes.
Twenty bunks were laid in each tent, and the sound of snoring was like waves.
Soon, the places where each sleeping person could hide something were touched all over again, and the man in black touched their respective space stones but did not take them away, but put one thing in them one by one, and then put the space stones back into the distance.
The man in black was nimble with his hands and feet, and he had all completed his exit from the camp in just a moment's effort.
On the high ground of the west flank of the army, Xue Ningqing raised his small face and stared at it for a long time.
Not many soldiers will approach here.
After looking at it for a long time, she took a hundred steps back, bent down and dug a hole in the ground, burying a round iron ball in it.
For a whole night, she buried all around the heights.
The next day, the barracks were still resting here as usual, but in fact, they were invisibly restrained by the soldiers and horses of the right wing of the flower lingering country in the mountains. Chen Guo can afford to spend money, and he can afford to have precious water sources in the mountains!
After lunch, smoke wafted from the barracks.
Xue Ningqing leaned on the camp tent pillar with her arms crossed, looking out quietly, and there seemed to be autumn water in her eyes.
Her plan wasn't to kill everyone in the barracks, and if she managed to make her the way, then they would eventually return home alive.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Rongren's evil smile suddenly flashed in her mind, and there was a trace of sourness in her heart. It's all about waiting for him, waiting for him to fulfill his promise after graduation.
A self-deprecating smile crossed her face, when did she fall in love with him? Could it be the moment when he was almost killed by the white-haired killer that day?
Spent an afternoon in sweet memories.
Soon, the atmosphere in the barracks began to be wrong!
Ninety percent of the 100,000 horses lay in the tents with fever and pain, and then their faces and bodies were covered with sporadic pomp sores, and even the military doctors were bedridden.
Pox sores are known as the cursed plague, they are extremely contagious, difficult to recover, and if you delay for a long time, you will definitely die!
The remaining 10% of the people are born immune to acne, but they don't know such avant-garde scientific truths, and they are all frightened and retreat away from the barracks to become deserters!
Chen Minghui's diet was also specially equipped, and several people in the general's tent did not get sick, so they immediately left the barracks, and at the same time sent an urgent letter to Chen Guo in the rear.
Seeing that this military camp has completely become a plague field, there are no eyes and ears to walk around.
In front of the front, Qiu Sheng stood in front of Xue Ningqing, and he changed into a set of civilian outfits, and the eight people standing behind him were also dressed in the same way.
Xiao Lin's face was very worried, and he grabbed Xue Ningqing's arm and refused to let go: "Miss Lan, are you really not going to go with us?" ”
Xue Ningqing nodded: "I still have to stay to deal with the mage group, you go over first." ”
"But Miss Lan, how can you deal with those ten wizards alone? I want to stay......"
"Kobayashi!" Qiu Sheng snorted, "Xiaolan has her own measure, and you will only help if you stay." Let's go to the front and wait patiently for her in the right wing! ”
Xiao Lin was drunk like this, and his stomach was full of words, and he blinked a pair of small eyes out of thin air and looked at Xue Ningqing reluctantly.
Xue Ningqing looked at the nine men in front of him one by one: "You can go, after I finish here, I will send you a signal as agreed." Qiu Sheng, it should be okay to make the other party believe you, right? ”
Qiu Sheng nodded confidently: "There is nothing difficult, the personal soldiers of the mop general have a set of communication codes and gestures, in case of extraordinary needs, we will definitely not be in danger of life in the past." It's you, it's better to be more cautious. After speaking, he thought of the others and shouted, "Big guy follow me, go!" Let's go! ”
After Xue Ningqing watched them walk all the way to the mountain range in front of them, he turned around and ran over to the high ground on the west flank of Chen Jun with a deftly step, he didn't hear any movement from the high ground all day, everything was under control for the time being!
At a distance of about 100 zhang from the high ground, Xue Ningqing's slender body hid behind a large piece of bare stone, and took out a long work and a large number of bows and arrows, these bows and arrows have been specially transformed, the arrows are wrapped with burn-resistant cotton and linen, and a lot of accelerants are sprinkled on them, and they are also attached to the anti-witch spell power imposed by the senior light mage, which can penetrate the enchantment set by the wizard on the opposite side, but it is definitely not possible to shoot people to death after penetration, but it is more than enough to set fire!
Mounted three arrows, quickly ignited the cotton linen on the arrows, pulled the bowstring and shot at the ten purple battalion commanders on the high ground one by one, and dozens of flaming rockets were sent out in just a moment!
In an instant, black smoke billowed from the barrier above the heights, and all ten wizards finally came out of the tent!
Xue Ningqing threw down her bow and arrow, grabbed the spirit bead from the waistband of her trousers, jumped out from behind the stone, and ran forward with quick steps, her posture was like a cheetah, and she soon came to the five zhang next to the high ground, and the five zhang that went in was the range where she had buried her self-made trap!
The wizards tried to cast spells to extinguish the fire in the barrier, but it was a fire set off with sulfur fire as an accelerant, and the magic of witchcraft could not be extinguished, so the fire dragon born from the sulfur was the biggest nemesis of wizards.
After several failed attempts, the wizard withdrew the barrier and ran down from the high ground one by one.
Xue Ningqing's eyes froze, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and the spirit bead was pinched in front of him, ready for a fatal blow!
