Chapter 35: The assassination is successful, and the enemy army is in chaos
PS: I'm starting to test the waters, ask for support!
To say that Mu Huanyang's assassination is indeed very strong.
It should be said that ghost cultivators are indeed good at assassination.
Even if the inheritance of the Ghost Heavenly Master has been lost a lot in the hands of Mu Huanyang's descendants, so that Mu Huanyang's family now does not have a Jindan monk, this cannot hide the outstanding inheritance of the Ghost Heavenly Master.
It's no wonder that after the Ghost Celestial Master broke through to the Yuanying cultivation, he was so feared that he was forced out of Qiming Island.
And this night, the barracks of the county army were destined to be unpeaceful.
With Pang Ye's help, Mu Huanyang successfully avoided the patrol of the barracks, and wore the clothes of soldiers of the county army and blended into the barracks.
At this time, it was before the Great War, and many generals were taking the opportunity to sleep and recharge their batteries.
And Mu Huanyang's target is these generals.
Mu Huanyang is also clear about the camp tents of each general, and Pang Ye also provided him with a list of assassinations, in order, killing one is called not in vain, killing two is called blood earning, and killing three is called three kills, but if you kill four at most, you will have to leave, don't try to take five kills and continue to wave.
Mu Huanyang first touched into the camp tent of the first target, and at this time there were personal soldiers guarding outside the tent, but he was able to bypass others' field of vision as quickly as possible while others were yawning, and his tracks were always silent.
And the first goal is the commander-in-chief of the army of the county government, the long history of the county government, and the later stage of foundation building.
Mu Huanyang's cultivation also happened to be in the late stage of foundation building, if it was said that he would be able to defeat the other party with his ancestral exercises, but it must be very time-consuming and laborious, and for assassination, Mu Huanyang was absolutely sure that the opponent would be killed with one blow.
At this time, Changshi was sitting next to the long case and pretending to sleep, there was an oil lamp on the long case, and a map of Luo County was placed in front of Changshi.
Obviously, Changshi was still studying the map just now, making final preparations for tonight's night attack.
But maybe because I'm too tired, I will hold on to the long case and wait for the arrival of the fourth watch.
Mu Huanyang hid in a corner of the tent, and when he saw that Changshi was closing his eyes, he pulled out a porcelain bottle he was carrying, and released a burst of colorless and odorless gas from it.
This gas can make people smell and become confused, and he has already taken an antidote.
After a few minutes, after making sure that the gas had worked, he launched an assassination operation.
His figure turned into a gust of wind, as fast as lightning, and instantly flashed to Changshi's side, controlling Changshi's jaw with one hand, and holding a long needle with the other hand to quickly insert it into the opponent's temple.
Changshi was startled, but his brain was groggy and his reaction was seriously slow, and he didn't have time to struggle, so the sun ** was inserted into a long needle, and then he didn't blink to death.
Mu Huanyang rearranged Changshi's posture and quietly left the camp.
Next, he repeated his old tricks, killed four people in a row, and then left the barracks.
All four of them were the main generals of the county army.
Originally, the county government drew three teams from the five armies guarding the county town as the main force of this expedition, and each team was led by a pair of two foundation building monks.
But now, the commander-in-chief of the army, Changshi, is dead, and the orthodox leaders of the three teams are all dead.
Not long after Mu Huanyang left, a commander came to look for the orthodox leader of his team to discuss the attack plan to be held, but when he opened the camp tent, he found that the orthodox leader had died on the couch, and he was shocked.
In the next second, the gongs and drums of the alarm sounded throughout the barracks.
When the whole army found out that the four supreme commanders had all died in an unknown way, they were all stunned.
Now what's next?
This question haunts everyone's mind.
At the same time, panic also spread among the army, and the enemy actually entered the camp as if it were no one, which is frightening to think about.
The only two remaining deputy commanders gathered together to discuss the situation in front of them, and there was also a deputy commander who was guarding between Luo County and Caoji Mountain, and could not rush over to negotiate together, and the other two Zhuji monks were both county commanders of the next county who came to assist, and at this time, the two county commanders were also guarding the other two roads according to the order, and they could not come over to negotiate together.
There are only three things that the two can think of, one is that the whole army is under martial law and searches the camp tent to see if there are any assassins, the second is that the night attack scheduled for the fourth watch can be invalidated, on the contrary, they still have to be on guard to avoid the enemy's night attack, and the third is that there are very likely spies in the camp tent, otherwise the enemy assassins will not be able to break through the perimeter patrol so easily.
As a result, the army of the county government began martial law and search.
The two lieutenants did not fully trust each other, as only the higher-ups could know about the deployment of the tent, and if there was a spy who cooperated with the enemy assassins, then it was likely that this spy was one of the high-ranking members of the army.
Therefore, both of them feel that there is a possibility that the other will be a spy.
It is precisely because of this that the army of the county government that is now in chaos does not have an absolute leader.
The existence of two commands in an army is doomed to the defeat of this army.
When Tang Xiao got Mu Huanyang's report and learned that Mu Huanyang had successfully assassinated the enemy's four highest-ranking generals, he immediately smiled.
Uncle Tang on the side decisively stepped forward and said, "Sir, we can take advantage of the current situation to attack the enemy army!"
Lao Zhang Tou also chimed in: "Yes, don't they want to launch a night attack on us? Now we will attack them at night in turn!"
However, Tang Xiao said: "Don't worry, wait for dawn." We are now reorganizing our troops and horses and going straight to Grass Thistle Mountain. ”
Uncle Tang and Lao Zhangtou were puzzled.
Wouldn't it be better to strike at night while it was dark? Why wait until dawn?
And why go back to Grass Thistle Mountain?
What's the operation this time?!
After Tang Xiaoping retreated from everyone and asked everyone to assemble soldiers and horses according to his arrangement, Xu Xu, who had been present, quietly returned.
Tang Xiao was not surprised to see Xu Shou's ghostly appearance, but waited for the other party to speak.
Xu Shou said: "Big brother, the reason why you waited until dawn to attack was because you needed a fiasco to show weakness to the state capital?"
Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "Now that there is an important person in the enemy army as our internal response, we don't need to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger at all." In the end, the state government's assessment of the battle will attribute the main responsibility to the presence of traitors in the ranks. ”
"Then why did you wait until dawn to attack the camp?"
Tang Xiao didn't want to explain, but he was worried that if he didn't explain, Xu Shoushu would wonder if he was planning to be the biggest spy in the whole army, so he said: "What do you think the current state of the enemy army is?"
Xu Shoushou thought about it and shook his head.
Tang Xiao said: "Nervous, apprehensive, even panicked. And the seeds of doubt will spread in the army. These various negative emotions are mixed together and can make them physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, there has just been a major accident in their camp, and they will definitely be on guard, but as long as they stay up all night and are physically and mentally exhausted, we can take the initiative to attack, and we can wait for work, which is more advantageous than our night attack on their base camp. ”
Xu was in a trance, and decisively showed a sycophant smile, and said, "Big brother is still so wise. So why go straight to Grass Thistle Mountain now?"
Tang Xiao grinned and said, "Persimmon should be soft and pinched!"
