Chapter 83: Timing
I have been out for five days, and I have been changing ~~ in recent days
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time when Zongzi came was four days later, and there were 5,000 Dali soldiers with him, and after Zongzi arrived, the operation after that could be continued, but this time the operation did not need many Dali soldiers behind him, only Duan Zhong and Zongzi were needed, because this was a sneak attack, and there were more people who would drag it down, so this 15,000 Dali soldiers, Duan Zhong directly let the Dali generals sent by Duan Zhuang lead them to Tingzhou City to garrison, this Tingzhou City has become an empty city after the withdrawal of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, There is no danger in the slightest, so Duan Zhong has no worries about settling these fifteen thousand Dali soldiers here, and there are supply doctors in this Tingzhou City, and they can also treat the Dali soldiers who are not accustomed to the water and soil.
At this time, General Ying Haiying had already led his troops to copy the retreat of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and Tingzhou City was garrisoned by soldiers from Dali, which doomed the troops of the second prince of Xiao Beiding to camp in the field, and General Ying Haiying was only far away with the troops of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and did not attack, and remained deadlocked here, so in this way, the second prince of Xiao Beiding fell into an embarrassing situation of not advancing or retreating, and Duan Zhong was also not in a hurry, and set off slowly after resting in Tingzhou City for two days. Although the reinforcements from Dali are only known to the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and the second prince of Xiao Beiding also personally wrote a sprinkling letter, in which he scolded his brother for letting Dali participate in the family affairs of Nanliang, but this letter is just pretending to be shocking and powerful, and it has no practical effect, but it is certain that the leader of this team is Duan Zhong, and the second prince of Xiao Beiding must not know, if he really knows, I am afraid that the second prince of Xiao Beiding will be restless. After all, the hardships he suffered at Duan Chong's hands were already countless.
As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, Duan Chong didn't plan to give Xiao Beiding's second prince good fruits to eat this time, and Duan Chong watched the sky at night and calculated the time of Xiao Beiding's second prince...... Not much, as for how Duan Chong calculated it, only God knows, and at this moment, Duan Chong and Zongzi are sitting on the war horse lazily moving forward, but the place in the end is already in the depth of the Liangguang hills, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, so at the end, he simply abandoned the horse, fortunately, Duan Chong took the map and letter in his hand, compared with the information sent by General Ying Haiying, he knew that he was extremely close to the hilly area where the second prince of Xiao Beiding was stationed, but he didn't have to walk much, But in this hilly, even in autumn, it is extremely hot and humid, making people feel sticky and uncomfortable, Duan Zhong just wants to capture the second prince of Xiao Beiding as soon as possible, so as to end this trip to Liangguang, the climate of Liangguang really makes Duan Zhong very unhappy.
When he walked about thirty miles further, Duan Chong's eyes immediately narrowed, and Zongzi also made the same reaction, because at this time, the two had already entered the warning range of the troops led by the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and the reason why Duan Chong squinted his eyes was because he noticed the troops patrolled by the soldiers under the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and looked at Zongzi, and the two jumped at the same time, jumping directly on a big tree not far away, and after a while, Under the big tree, a team of twelve people passed by on duty, and they seemed very cautious, but they didn't notice Duan Zhong and Zongzi hiding between the branches.
With the strength of Duan Zhong and Zongzi, they can naturally quietly erase these twelve people from the world, but the purpose of Duan Chong and Zongzi's trip is not here, but in Xiao Beiding, the second prince, Duan Chong chooses not to do anything, as long as the goal is achieved, Duan Chong's hands are stained with enough blood, and he is too lazy to kill again.
Waiting for the patrol team of twelve people to pass, Duan Zhong and Zongzi jumped down from the tree and continued to move forward, and the speed of the march slowed down a lot, and continued to walk forward for an hour, which bypassed the extremely rugged terrain and evaded the six patrol teams, and finally touched the side of the base camp of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and this time Duan Zhong acted extremely carefully, and did not dare to leak his breath at all, because Duan Zhong did not know how many martial arts masters there were under the second prince of Xiao Beiding, But what is certain is that there are definitely martial arts masters, so as long as his whereabouts are exposed, if he wants to capture the second prince of Xiao Beiding, there is absolutely little hope.
It's afternoon now, Duan Chong and Zongzi are lurking in a big tree very quietly, looking very patient, after all, this kind of sneak attack must be at night to be the most effective, as a person who has followed Jiang Mingchen, Duan Chong naturally has this attempt, but it's a pity that Jiang Mingchen didn't come with him to protect the safety of Ji Wuchang and others in Nanliang! Otherwise, with Jiang Mingchen and Zongzi here, this matter will definitely be much easier, thinking of this, Duan Zhong couldn't help but be a little worried about the matter of Nanliang, after all, after he left Nanliang, the assassin force of Beiliang lurking in Nanliang didn't know where else to hide, would it attack Ji Wuchang and others, if it really started, Jiang Mingchen alone would definitely not be able to deal with it, but there was no way to think about it so much, so he could only arrest the second prince of Xiao Beiding first, and quickly return the matter of Liangguang to Nanliang.
Seeing the time pass minute by minute, Duan Chong finally stayed up from the afternoon to the night, and in this, Duan Chong spent three hours to figure out the law of this rotation, and waited until the bonfires in the camp gradually dimmed, until there were only a few bonfires left, Duan Chong nodded at the zongzi with his eyes open, signaling that he could act, and Zongzi also nodded, the two jumped off the tree quietly, but Duan Chong and Zongzi walked to both ends of the camp separately.
This second prince of Xiao Beiding is also an extremely cautious person, all the camp tents in the army are the same, it is impossible to tell which camp tent is the residence of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and this whole afternoon, the second prince of Xiao Beiding did not appear in Duan Chong's field of vision, so the most important thing for Duan Chong at the moment is to find out the camp where the second prince of Xiao Beiding lived, this is definitely a difficult problem, after all, there must be a master in this tent, if Duan Chong rushes in, the consequence will naturally expose himself, it may not be possible to find the second prince of Xiao Beiding.
And in this afternoon, Duan Zhong didn't have any communication with Zongzi, because both of them had to ensure that they were completely hidden and could not be discovered, so the current action could only rely on the ...... of the two Tacit understanding, Duan Chong lurked by the fence, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then took out a dagger from his arms, at this time, the sword was a little cumbersome, Duan Chong's identity at the moment was an assassin, naturally he wanted to be an assassin, and he definitely wanted to use a dagger when he should use a dagger.
Duan Zhong waited for a while, but there was movement on the side of the zongzi, this time, it was the zongzi who made a move, and it was ...... Killed, not only killed, but also extremely arrogant killing, this movement is absolutely very huge, even the shouting of Zongzi to kill, Duan Zhong can also hear it clearly, and the reason why Zongzi does this is extremely simple, that is, to create space for Duan Chong to perform.
Zongzi as a martial arts master rushed into the thousands of troops, as long as he didn't get to the high-density arrows, he was definitely not afraid, and at such nights, he was naturally not afraid, even if he killed seven in and seven out of the barracks, there was no problem, and Zongzi had always chosen to torture and kill the troops under the second prince of Xiao Beiding around this big camp, in order to attract the masters under the second prince of Xiao Beiding.
Duan Chong was not in a hurry, just lurking quietly, waiting for the time to come, and the Zongzi side was still a one-sided slaughter, which meant that the opponent's master had not yet appeared, but Duan Zhong believed that if the Zongzi continued to torture and kill like this, the master on the opposite side would definitely not be able to hold it back, and as Duan Chong expected, just a moment later, Zongzi greeted his opponent, who was also a martial arts master of the first section.
Duan Zhong believed that there were masters under the second prince of Xiao Beiding, but there were definitely not many, and the second prince of Xiao Beiding did not know martial arts, so he naturally did not dare to go to the scene, in case it was affected, it would be extremely unlucky, and at this time, Duan Zhong finally made a move, quietly erased the neck of a soldier with a dagger, and then changed the soldier's clothes and armor as quickly as possible, and began to look for it aimlessly in the camp.
At this time, the camp has been extremely chaotic, countless soldiers have flocked to the direction where the zongzi is, Duan Zhongzhong is also very anxious at the moment, as long as the other party's troops are assembled, with bows and arrows, the zongzi is absolutely unbearable, so now we must hurry up, and now there is an extremely interesting phenomenon in front of Duan Chong, in addition to most of the soldiers who are rushing to the place where the zongzi is, there are also some soldiers who are firmly waiting around a camp tent, which is extremely nervous, there is no doubt Duan Chong didn't even have to think about who was in this tent, the second prince of Xiao Beiding was still a little immature, and his whereabouts were suddenly exposed under the chaos.
Duan Zhong quietly blended into the soldiers gathered in the tent, the sky was dark, even if he held a torch, he couldn't find it, but his body was slowly squeezing inward, and finally when he was about to squeeze to the side of the tent, he suddenly heard someone shouting to him: "What are you doing?" Why break in! ”
Duan Chong sneered, the dagger in his hand flashed, and the head of the general who roared fell to the ground instantly, while Duan Chong's body flashed, but he rushed into the tent.
