A shocking thunder only exploded in his ears, and Hongcui's body jumped, waking up from her slumber in an instant. When I opened my eyes, I saw a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness, and it was fleeting, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again. Hongcui got up and touched the fire fold, lit the candle, and wondered, "Is it already dark?" ”

"It's still more than an hour before it gets dark." Gege's voice rang out in the corner.

Hongcui lit the candle and turned to see Gege sitting on a bamboo chair, motionless like a carved wooden statue.

Hongcui said in a loud voice: "Xiao Gege scares people, why don't you light the lamp?" Now it seems that Xiao Gege is a god? ”

Gege's expression finally became a little lively, and he looked at Hongcui and asked, "What immortal?" ”

Hongcui pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "If it rains, it rains, what is it if it is not a fairy?" ”

The explosion thundered, and I faintly heard the sound of soldiers shouting and moving outside. The little man's voice sounded outside the tent again: "Qing Gege! ”

Gege asked again, "What's the matter?" ”

The little man replied, "Dinner is ready." ”

It turned out that it was already unitary time. Gege replied, "Come in!" ”

The little man came in with a tray and placed it on the table in front of Gege. Gege didn't look at it, just waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" ”

The little man stepped back and went out. Hongcui smelled the fragrance of rice, and immediately felt hungry. She ran over to see that it was two bowls of fragrant rice, a plate of sauerkraut scrambled eggs, and a plate of fried shredded carrots. The army is simple, and I am afraid that it will not be able to do anything better.

The two of them had eaten, and Dark Fragrance came in to say that the army was about to start. Let's see how Gege is ready. Dark incense has inquired, and the path to the north is very steep, and the car can't go in. I'm afraid that I will be wronged to ride a horse.

Gege nodded. Seeing that Gege had nothing to explain, Dark Fragrance withdrew.

The rain poured down from the sky, and the heat died down. But Hongcui was annoyed again, didn't this kind of march have to be punished in the rain? He took out the cloak from his bag and put it on for Gege, and Hongcui himself turned out the cloak and put it on. At this time, several soldiers came in and asked Gege to mount his horse. They are to put away their tents.

didn't care about complaining, Dark Xiang had already asked Gege to get on the horse outside the tent. Hongcui carefully helped Gege out of the tent, and then saw that the surroundings were like ink. The dark clouds seemed to be overhead. The soldiers lit their torches, and although the stars were shining, the wind and rain were so strong that only two were burned. and was watered out by the rain.

Dark incense helped Gege get on the horse. Then. A bolt of lightning lit up again, and Gege saw E Xiang and Zhang Guangsi riding on horses not far away. Gege rode over and greeted them.

They also wore cloaks. Seeing Gege coming, Exiang led the horse with one hand, clenched his fists with the other, and said with a dry laugh: "On the day of June, the face of the doll can make Gege ~~~" The latter words were covered by the wind when they couldn't hear clearly.

Gege didn't want to talk either. The pouring rain blocked the view and was about to pour into the mouth. Hongcui, Dark Fragrance and Luo Qingsong also followed. Gege couldn't hear Luo Qingsong clearly. But looking at his expression, I'm afraid that he is saying cursed words.

The sound of the trumpet whimpered. The front army had already marched, and everyone followed behind Ortai, braving the rain curtain to go to Heishuigou.

I don't know how long I walked, but the lightning died down, the thunder gradually stopped, the wind quieted down, and the rain slowly stopped. Ortai lit the torch, and finally there was some light. Everyone is a wolf.

Another hurried trumpet sounded, and the army stopped. Ortai coughed twice on his horse and said loudly: "Soldiers! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the court supports us, and now is the time for us to make contributions! Ten miles ahead is the black water ditch, where the Salopen camp is. Our soldiers are well fed, and with the red-clothed cannons, we will definitely be able to capture Salopun alive! ”

These words were indeed inspiring. Thousands of voices echoed in the air together: "Your Majesty! Handsome and mighty! Capture Salopun alive! ”

Ortai took off his cloak, and the light of the torches reflected a smug look on his face. He waved his hand, and was about to say a few more words, when suddenly, a different voice asked: "I have followed Zhang Zhengtai before, and I have gone deep into the area of Heishuigou." Heishuigou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains are steep, how can our army push the red-coated cannon up the mountain? ”

Everyone looked at him, and in the flickering light, they saw only a sturdy man standing with his chest and belly protruding, fearlessly responding to Ortai's staring gaze.

Ortai smiled coldly and said louder: "When the soldiers fight, the horse leather shroud is not afraid, can't you do this little bit of hard work?" Even if you unload the bits and pieces, you have to drag them up for me! His tone changed and he sternly reprimanded: "If anyone disobeys the military order again, he will be executed on the spot without asking the reason, do you understand?" ”

The sergeants moved the mountain: "I understand!" ”

By the time we got to Heishuigou, the rain had completely stopped, but the road was muddy. And they all took off their cloaks, mustered all their strength, and climbed up the mountain. Gege and they are okay, they are not tired of being carried by horses, but those soldiers on foot are very sad to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It took nearly an hour to climb to the top of the mountain. Ortai couldn't contain the joy in his heart, and looked down excitedly. It was indeed a large camp tent below, and torches were lit in front of each tent, and from a distance, there were hundreds or thousands. Ortai waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately handed over a telescope. Ortai held up the long telescope and looked at the black water ditch. There is a largest tent in the center, with purple and red tassels hanging outside, and I am afraid that it is the big tent of Saroben.

Suddenly, Gege opened his mouth and said, "Exiang, let's quickly retreat!" ”

He put down his binoculars and asked in surprise and dissatisfaction: "It's not easy for us to find the army of Salopun, and we are about to annihilate it with all our might, how can we say that we retreat?" ”

Gege pointed to the big tent under the mountain and said: "Although Ruoqing has not gone deep into Jinchuan, I have heard people talk about it before, and most of the people in Jinchuan live in watchtowers, often stone blockhouses. At the foot of the mountain, however, there are many big tents in the Central Plains, and nine times out of ten it is a plan for the enemy to lure the enemy, and we have traveled a long distance, and the officers and soldiers have worked hard, and we cannot figure out the situation, so we still retreat quickly. It is not too late to strike again after finding out the military situation, which is a safe plan. ”

Ortai said coldly: "Our army has the advantage, if we don't attack at this time, when will we attack?" Ertai received the emperor's great favor and was about to do his best to serve, Gege came for the labor army, so let's wait and watch Ertai attack! "Anyway, don't hesitate, give the order, push the red-coated cannon, the gunner stepped forward, filled the cannon and fired.

Gege knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he could only step aside and pray that nothing would go wrong. At this time, the sky is slightly bright, the surroundings are quiet, and occasionally birds pass by, whistle, and rush to the sky. The soldiers only waited for the first loud sound of the bombardment of the Black Water Ditch. Who knew that after a long break, there was no movement at all. Ortai was annoyed, and was about to speak to push out the sluggish gunner and cut it off, when he suddenly saw a general dressed in the costume of the thousand generals kneeling on the ground and saying: "Big handsome, no, it's not good!"
