A little sunlight through the window lit up the dimly lit room, and a young man in pajamas lifted the quilt and sat up slowly, waking up through that ray of sunlight.

Finally it was a new day, last night's night of revelry, his body was already tired, he had only slept for four or five hours, his eyes were bloodshot, when he opened the door, a woman stood in front of him, this was no one else, this was the woman last night, she was holding a piece of paper rolled into a cylindrical shape in her hand, it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time, the ground under her feet and the weeds around her were already messy, and as far as the eye could see, it was as low as a weathered dry branch, and it was long gone.

Lin Maolin asked: "You are here to send the portrait today, give it to me, I will have someone back it up, and I will fight it separately, if anyone sees your sister, I will let you sisters recognize each other as soon as possible." ”

The woman nodded, turned her head and said thank you when the portrait paper was handed to Lin Maolin, and left. I also peeked at General Lin a few times from a distance, Lin Maolin took the paper and called a soldier, explained it, and asked him to handle it, just like that, the news quickly spread throughout the army, and the people knew General Lin more deeply through the carnival last night.

Lin Maolin came to the front of the army, through Wu Cheng, Zhao General, Liu Luan, after a while, the army was assembled, there were hundreds of people, when they came, the soldiers had already given them horses and some ordnance, came to Lin Maolin in front of a people, it was the people last night, I saw that he also changed into a military uniform, after a night of acquaintance, many people were moved, joined the army.

Lin Maolin said: "Today's task is special, everyone obeys orders, do not fall behind, do not make noise, if there is any violation of the order, all will be dealt with by military law." ”

"Yes, General!" A loud voice resounded through the barracks.

The entourage of a group of people, all of them were depressed, all of them were in strong suits, and the weapons equipped were mostly light and dexterous, riding on war horses, all of them were heroic, looking at their departing backs, and there were only some veterans in the army behind them.

A soldier came to Sun Fan, the small county lord in the land of three rivers, and the soldier arched his hand and said, "Report to General Sun, the news I just received that General Lin has taken action again." ”

Just when Lin Maolin hit the bandit mountain, they guarded the river and had nothing to do this time, now it's okay, the bandits have been destroyed, and the greater danger is paid to the water, Dongying people and some people who have migrated here are all concerned about this small bandit mountain, and the reason why Sun Fan did not go to the bandit mountain is naturally very simple, that is, to expand his own troops, and the more people who have migrated here are their chances, such a great opportunity, how can Sun Fan let it go easily.

Sun Fan said: "Can you find out where they went?" ”

The soldier replied, "It seems to be Luoyang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Fan was surprised: "Luoyang? ”

The soldier affirmed, "Yes." ”

Sun Fan said: "Let's step up the training, the situation is more urgent." ”

During this period, Dongying people were staring at them like jackals and leopards, and the two of them showed a fierce light, not far away, and there were a few pen cases in their hands from time to time!

Lin Maolin led the cavalry over the mountain path, and soon came to the wall of Luoyang under the leadership of the villager.

The man said: "Luoyang now is not like before, there are almost no people here, there are people everywhere, there are few left, and they are basically traitors and lackeys, our team of people will definitely be found when they enter Luoyang, and if you want to go in, you have to dress up." ”

Lin Maolin nodded and said, "Liu Luo, you come with me, Wu Cheng, you stay outside and answer us at any time." ”

Liu Luo said: "Command!" ”

Wu Chengdao: "Take the order!" ”

Lin Maolin led everyone to change into disguises.

"Brothers, Luoyang is heavily guarded, we must not too many people enter this trip to Luoyang, after a while, we arrived at the gate, everyone divided into eight ways, after entering Luoyang, we gathered in front of the ancient tree in front."

The group followed behind Lin Maolin, some of them had experienced a hundred battles, some had just arrived in the army, and some did not even know what the war was like.

General Lin's words were nothing more than a wake-up call for them, the enemy's ferocity was so true in the mouths of some refugees, and there was both pain and anger in their words.

"Okay, General Lin, please rest assured, as long as General Lin is in need, we will definitely do our best to live up to the general's love."

Lin Maolin nodded......

The group of two arrived at the city gate, and they were about to enter when they were stopped by the city guard.

"Who are you? Do you know where this is? Get lost. A city guard shouted at the two. Obviously, he didn't want them to go in, Lin Maolin saw it from behind, and ordered another team of men to go forward, saying: "You only said in the past that you want to enter the city, if the enemy still moves the same way, you will make noise." ”

The two soldiers received the order, and they had already put on the clothes of the people, and when they went forward, they had a sense of desolation and desolation.

The two of them just arrived but suffered the same result, they took the arm of the Dongying man and cried, "You can't do this, Luoyang still takes my wife and children, let me in, I want my family." ”

When Dongying people heard this, they looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, although the guards under them were not high-ranking officials, but they did it with one hand, and they knew best, they looked at the soldier who spoke, with a fierce look on their faces.

A Dongying man came up to their commander and whispered in his ear

After that, Dongyingren's hands had already come to the blade at his waist.

At this moment, the third team came, followed by the fourth team, and then the fifth team, more and more people, more and more, so that the Dongying soldiers panicked, and the hand on the weapon paused, and said, "What's the matter?" This group of people is obviously here to do something, do you want to call the main camp? ”

The consul of Dongying's doorman gestured to a soldier behind him and said, "You tell the people above." ”

By the time the soldier had passed, there was already a noise at the door, and they were like a swarm of chirping headless flies.

Lin Maolin ordered the soldiers behind him: "Let's go in, we must be fast." ”

"Yes!" Liu Luo led the order to lead the soldiers behind him, they followed Lin Maolin in this way, lurked at the city gate, and somehow, suddenly, the enemy crowd surged, it turned out that more and more Dongying people came to the city gate, they held weapons in their hands, Lin Maolin and the others were blocked, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, at this moment, a villager came to Lin Maolin and said, "General Lin, don't worry, follow me." ”

At this critical moment, he didn't know what to do, and he could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"Okay."

The villager led the way in front, and the team followed him to the other end of the city gate under the cover of a corner, and there was nothing extra except for the tall wall, looking at the towering Luoyang wall, Lin Maolin said: "How can I go up here?" ”

The villager touched the boulder on the side of the wall as he walked, and said, "You knock on this wall, it should be here, why is it gone?" ”

Lin Maolin glanced at the neat wall, glanced left and right, returned to the place where he had passed, pushed away a soldier behind him, and said, "You guys stand back." ”

Where the soldier was originally standing, his body was close to the wall, and when he moved away, a small area was exposed on the wall, Lin Maolin touched the stone and said, "This is it, you see, other places are obviously very different from here." ”

Holding the spear in his right hand, grasping the tip of the spear with his left hand, he pushed it backwards, and the end of the spear handle smashed directly into the wall, and the stone on the wall boomed, and after raising a little dust, a large hole appeared in front of everyone.

The villagers came back to their senses and said, "I'm scared to death, it turns out that the entrance to the cave is here." ”

Everyone followed the entrance of the cave and entered Luoyang City one after another.

What caught everyone's eye was a spacious room with no frills in it, just a few simple wooden table decorations and a few dusty cups.

Lin Maolin asked, "Where is this?" ”

The villager said: "This is Taiwei's house, I heard that Taiwei colluded with Dongying people to use this hole to communicate with Dongying people in private messages, I also suddenly saw a person sneaking around this wall when I was rushing to the market in the morning, and I don't know what he was doing, but, suddenly, that person disappeared out of thin air, I have observed this place for many days, but I didn't know how much at that time, I was just curious." In the end, I followed the reasoning and thought of the mansion of the Taiwei. ”

Lin Maolin nodded and said, "It's true that Taiwei colluded with Dongying, but if this cave is really dug up by Luoyang County, will we be in danger?" ”

Liu Luo looked at the door and said, "General Lin, the door is heavily guarded by the enemy, and it is difficult for us to get out." ”

Lin Maolin asked the villager, "Is there any way to get out now?" ”

The villager shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't come in to the mansion of Luoyang County." ”

Lin Maolin said: "It doesn't matter, where is the grain and grass?" ”

The villager pointed to the distance and said, "The grain and grass are on the left side of the county government, and through an alley, there is a tall sentry tower, which is in several original roofs under the sentry tower. ”

Lin Maolin said: "Thank you for the information you provided, the purpose is clear, then, we will act as soon as possible, it is impossible for our brothers under the big tree at the city gate, and it is up to us whether we can get food." ”

The soldiers took the order.

Lin Maolin said: "It's not the time yet, it's easy to be found during the day, only at night is the best time, brothers eat some dry food, pay attention to rest, and we will act tonight." ”

The soldiers sat in place, and one or two were still patrolling, observing the enemy outside.

When Lin Maolin closed his eyes, Liu Luo came to him and said: "General Lin, grain and grass are the necessities of the army, this time we come out, the enemy is outnumbered, if anything happens, General Lin, I, Liu Luan, am willing to charge." In Liu Luan's mind, the people were his friends, and when he was patrolling the bandit mountain, he had already regarded the displaced people as confidants, and when he helped them and took care of them, he also had feelings for each other.

Now that he said this, Lin Maolin also believed him and comforted: "It's okay, courage and wisdom are the most important thing in marching and fighting, this time it will be fine, we will definitely be able to transport back the grain and grass smoothly." ”

Liu Luo seemed to feel something that made his expression a little dignified, but he just felt it, but he couldn't say what it felt.

"Yes, General, we will succeed."

"Well, that's the courage of a general."

The rest of the time was the time to rest, after seven or eight minutes, they didn't sleep enough, after all, in such a tiger's den, they didn't dare to sleep unscrupulously, because they didn't dare to say that this place must be safe, and they would one day become the enemy's meal.

After a day's closed eyes, at this moment,

Everyone is spiritual, Lin Maolin lay on the window, looked out the window, and said: "Go" At this time, Lin Maolin and the others went out of the door one after another. "And the soldiers on duty are turning their heads and turning their backs to them, ready to take over the shift.

Suddenly, when a villager was halfway there, his right leg stumbled and he fell to the ground, apparently twisting his ankle, while a veteran soldier beside him hurriedly dragged him behind a wooden beam, covered his mouth with his hand, and said, "Don't make a sound." ”

The soldier did not dare to move, but sat on the ground, and his weeping expression was vividly expressed in his pale face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I dropped the chain at a critical moment."

Lin Maolin and the others had already come to the other end of the room, and they squatted down, avoiding the eyes of the enemy.

You're out of this mansion ahead, just a few steps away.

When they came to the gate of the palace, the two soldiers on duty were standing there, their eyes were hazy, it was obvious that they had been on duty for some time, and their fatigue could not be concealed.

Lin Maolin said: "You come with me, we pretend to be soldiers who come to change the guard, and you two give us the waist knife." ”

Lin Maolin and a soldier borrowed waist knives, and the two swaggered out, Lin Maolin came to the guard and said, "It's hard work, we are here to change the guard." ”

The two glanced at Lin Maolin, opened their squinting eyes, then rubbed their eyes, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Before he could say the second sentence, Lin Maolin's waist knife had already touched his neck, and another guard was also killed by a soldier next to Lin Maolin.

"Leave the two, change into their clothes, and keep vigil."

"Yes!"

Lin Maolin took the rest of the people to the alley and said: "Through this alley, there is the enemy's granary in front, tonight, we must succeed, our army is waiting for our triumphant return this time." ”

All the soldiers followed Lin Maolin through both sides of the alley, and at this time, "the weather is dry, be careful of the candles." The voice came, but the voice did not have the charm it used to be.

Take cover!

The villager passed by beating a drum, but did not see the crowd lurking on either side.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." Walking while beating the drum, he soon disappeared into the alley.

Lin Maolin and the others were like night walkers, and when they came to the front of the house, the tall guard tower made everything here in full view.

Lin Maolin pointed to the watchtower and said, "Who has the ability to take this watchtower." ”

Liu Luo arched his hand and said, "General Lin, I am willing to go, I will definitely be able to complete the mission." ”

Lin Maolin said: "Okay, bring three people over." ”

Liu Luo led people to lurk out, but this guard tower was as tall as a cloud, and there were several soldiers patrolling under the tower, Liu Luo led people to the bottom of the tower, and when the three soldiers around him appeared in front of the enemy, the enemy's neck was no longer on his head. The men on the watchtower seemed to see something, and at that moment, a bow and arrow flew and sank into the sentry's chest.

Lin Maolin quickly entered a room with the rest of the people, looking at the room full of food, Lin Maolin said movingly: "Sure enough, the brothers hurry up and move, move as much as you can." ”

Just as they rushed into the room, a scream rang out, and the brothers exploded in an instant.

Seeing the brothers transporting food, but at this moment, they had been discovered by the enemy, Lin Maolin hurriedly stopped a group of soldiers and said, "You come with me, and the rest of the people will continue." ”

With a dozen soldiers, they hurried to another grain and grass room, however, the ground was shaking under their feet.

"You must do what I say." Lin Maolin said anxiously.

When the soldiers heard General Lin's words, they said in unison: "Okay, General Lin, we will definitely do it." ”

After Lin Maolin said goodbye to them, he came to the sentry tower, and Liu Luo pointed out three positions to Lin Maolin in a bright place, which represented the direction of the enemy's march, that is, the enemy had come, and these three places were the places where the enemy gathered the most.

Lin Maolin came to the house and said, "Hurry up, the enemy is already coming, and there will be no chance if it's too late." ”

Watching the soldiers carry the food onto an open-top trolley, Lin Maolin commanded them, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Soon, after moving a full cart, the enemy's steps were getting closer, and they were armed with bows and arrows, torches, and long knives and daggers. One by one, when they first came, a fire lit up around them, in all directions, the firelight burned the whole night, Lin Maolin said: "Brothers, withdraw quickly, it is enough to take so much." ”

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers carried their weapons behind their backs, grabbed the guard of the cart with both hands, and pushed the cart forward with all their might.

The group of people happened to encounter the enemy in the process of marching, and the leader turned out to be the county lord of Dongying, and the county lord followed him left and right, looking at Lin Maolin and others.

"Not good, we're already surrounded by enemies."

The county lord of Dongying said: "General Lin, we met again, but, this time, you are so bold that you actually came to Luoyang?" ”

Lin Maolin laughed and said, "Yes, after all, Luoyang belongs to the imperial court, and as the people of the imperial court, it is normal for us to come to the imperial court mansion to receive something." ”

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and so did the anger of the Dongying people.
