Xu Shijun's Chinese army battalion.

Since the establishment of the instructor who went to Chicheng to serve as an instructor in the crash course for officers, the original Zhao Qian's 10,000 Tongzhou Army was commanded by Xu Shijun. This Wantong Prefecture Army was reorganized from the former Dajian Border Army, and there are many veterans in it, and there are countless officers at all levels with combat experience, and its combat effectiveness is not weak in the first place. That's why they were able to hold the entire new state with just 10,000 soldiers.

"Lao Xu, is it still quiet on the other side during this time?" Qin Forget stood on the pass of the gourd valley, staring at the other end of the gourd valley and asked.

At the other end of the Gourd Valley is Black Mountain County, which is now occupied by the Blood Lotus Sect.

"It's not very quiet, there are already more than 50,000 Blood Lotus Sect soldiers gathered in the small Black Mountain County, and there is a trend of increasing troops every day." Xu Shijun looked at the county seat of Montenegro and said, "General, you see, they are building fortifications every day. Montenegro County is too important, and going to Yingzhou is a flat river. Taking Black Mountain County, the Blood Lotus Sect will have no danger to defend, and the initiative of the war will also be firmly in our hands, as long as we want, we can fight them at any time. ”

"Obviously, Wang Gan also understands this truth, and there are 50,000 troops, and he really looks up to us." Qin Forget chuckled, and didn't seem to take the so-called 50,000 army of the Blood Lotus Sect in his eyes at all, "Who will be the Blood Lotus Sect leader on the other side?" ”

"The main general is Feng Shi, this person is the real strength of Wang Tian's army, there are nearly 50,000 elite Blood Lotus Sect soldiers under his command, and he is the head of the four Nine Lotus generals under Wang Tian. The other three Nine Lotus generals are Tong Zhaogang, Zhang Yi, and Wang Xiaogan, according to rumors, Tong Zhang and Zhang have always been good friends with Feng Shi, but that Wang Xiaogan is the hardcore henchman of Wang Gan's brothers. This person is a little clever and can pat the back, but he really doesn't have much ability. Xu Shijun told Qin Forget in detail about the information of the Blood Lotus Sect that he had found out during this period of time.

"Wang Xiaogan, listening to this name is really a sycophant. In this way, isn't there an open and secret fight between Feng Shi and Wang Gan? ”

"It's a bit of a sprout, but it's not that sharp. The Blood Lotus Sect was established and ruled by religion, and those soldiers and civilians would only obey Wang Gan's orders alone. In this context, at least for now, even if Wang Gan did not have a single soldier in his hands, Feng Shi did not dare to do anything. Xu Shijun vaguely guessed Qin Wang's thoughts, and said with a wry smile.

Qin Forget didn't care, this kind of thing became the best, and it didn't matter if it didn't work, the two armies were facing each other, strength was king, and some other tricks might also have an effect, but after all, it was only an auxiliary means, "Then defeat Feng Shi and defeat the strongest force of the Blood Lotus Sect." ”

"There are 10,000 sons of the Tongzhou Army, just waiting for the general's order to go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" Hearing Qin Wang's words, Xu Shijun said excitedly.

"It's best if General Xu has this confidence." Qin Forget nodded with satisfaction, "But storming Montenegro County is definitely not a good strategy, it will only cause heavy losses to his brothers." Don't be impatient, the time has come, and Montenegro County is at your fingertips. ”

In the dead of night, Qin Wang, sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, quietly looked at the documents sent by Chicheng. Just then, a small soldier opened the tent and walked in. If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely be surprised that a small soldier was so presumptuous

After the communication, he walked into Qin Wang's big tent, but Qin Wang didn't look surprised or angry at all.

"General!" The man in the costume of the little soldier walked up to Qin Forget and saluted respectfully, and his raised face was clear under the light of the candlelight, it was Zhao Bao, the captain of the first team of mercury in the Mingyue Hall Action Team.

"Yes, I've been in Mingyuetang for a few years, and I've matured a lot, and it's a qualified fine work." Qin Forget looked Zhao Bao up and down, and was very satisfied, "It's a pity, if it weren't for the big battle in Chicheng back then, I still have three tiger generals under my command, Zhao Yidao, Zhao Long, and Zhao Hu, I remember them all." ”

Hearing Qin forget about the rebel father and the two brothers-in-law, Zhao Bao was sad and grateful, "I didn't expect the general to remember, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye." ”

"Zhao Bao, have you ever blamed me? If it weren't for me, you father and son might have lived freely in Akagi, and it would be better than being born and dying now, separated by heaven and man. ”

"What did the general say?" Zhao Bao's face was anxious, "If it weren't for the general, our father and son would just be green-skinned scoundrels who everyone in the market hates, how could we have today's majesty?" My father-in-law and two elder brothers also often said that working in Mingyue Hall was very exciting. can have an official body, which makes them feel that they are glorious and glorious. ”

"That's good." Qin Forget nodded, "Zhao Bao, how are things going?" ”

"The general is reassured, everything is under control. Now there are two hundred of us in the county seat of Montenegro, and it is not difficult to secretly open the city gate at night. Zhao Bao Chengzhu said in his chest.

What the two of them meant in their words that Mingyuetang secretly arranged two hundred internal responses in Montenegro County. In fact, this matter was laid out by Mingyue Hall as early as before the Blood Lotus Sect occupied Black Mountain County. Qin Wang's inability to occupy the county seat of Montenegro does not mean that he cannot recognize the importance of the county seat of Montenegro, and it does not mean that he will do nothing. When Huang Ling withdrew from Montenegro County and the Blood Lotus Sect had not yet entered the mastership, Mingyue Hall secretly arranged for hundreds of elites to pretend to be believers of the Blood Lotus Sect to hide in Montenegro County.

"Are you sure they won't have any problems with that? You must know that the people of the Blood Lotus Sect are the best at brainwashing, and I am a little worried that someone will join the Blood Lotus Sect, if Feng Shi gives us a plan, then our losses will be great. Zhao Bao, I want you to give me an affirmative answer, if there is any problem, I will cut off your head first. Qin Forget said cautiously and seriously.

"The subordinates vouch with their heads, if there is any problem with the people in the city, there is no need for the general to do it, and the subordinates themselves will come to see it." Hearing Qin Wang's questioning, Zhao Bao promised loudly.

"Are you so sure? The lives of tens of thousands of people are at stake, so we can't be careless. Qin Forget asked again.

"Subordinates affirm. Those people are absolutely loyal to Akagi, and the general doesn't know that the so-called teachings of the Blood Lotus Sect can fool those foolish men and women who are about to starve to death. How ridiculous and ridiculous it sounded to us, and none of the brothers in the city believed it. ”

"Yes, this so-called religion can only be a lifesaver for those who are drowning, and anyone on the shore will see how ridiculous it is." Qin Forget nodded, and agreed with Zhao Bao's statement, "Since."

In this way, the operation will continue as usual tomorrow night, and as soon as the city gate is opened, 10,000 Tongzhou troops will immediately enter it. ”

At this time, the county seat of Montenegro has completely become a military city, and the last great plague inevitably spread here, and the entire county town is empty. After the arrival of the Blood Lotus Sect, the few people were all charged into the army, and it can be said that there were no civilians in Montenegro except for the soldiers.

Although the entire county is a military city and strict military management has been implemented, the military discipline of this army composed of displaced people is really not very good. At night, a curfew was imposed in the county seat of Montenegro, but you could still see Blood Lotus Sect soldiers wandering around in twos and threes, or drinking too much wine and letting loose on the streets. The hustle and bustle in a limited number of restaurants continued all night, and even in the barracks, from time to time there were men's laughter and women's moans, and military discipline was broken.

"Brother Ironhead, we won't be discovered, will we?" In a shadow at the corner of the north wall, a young man whispered to the big man beside him.

The young man is the Han San who was as timid as a mouse when Song Jimin collected the corpse in Xinzhou, although Han San was timid, but he was very clever, and the iron-headed brother in his mouth was the strong man called the iron head who was the first to come out to break the superstition when Xu Shijun and Song Jimin were in Chengshan Town when they were dealing with the plague.

"Shhhhhh Iron Head put his index finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture, and gestured with his eyes to a grim-faced young man at the front.

The young man's name is Chen Feng, I don't know if it's his real name, anyway, everyone calls him that, he is the elite backbone of Mingyue Hall's mercury, and he is the first batch of elites who have successfully graduated from the dragon and phoenix twin swords, and this matter is also what he is most proud of. You must know that the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Swords have received thousands of elites from the Iron Sword Fort and the military, but only thirty people have successfully passed, but he is one of them, can he not his tail?

As if feeling that the iron head was talking about himself, Chen Feng moved over slightly, glanced at everyone, and there was a hint of a smile in his cold eyes, "Aren't you a little nervous?" ”

"Yes, sort of." Tietou, the dozens of Xinzhou locals, all smiled embarrassedly, they were local farmers, not from Mingyuetang. But they had been in contact with the Blood Lotus Sect more or less before, and in order to better integrate into the Blood Lotus Sect, Chen Feng was also worried about revealing his feet, so he also brought them with him in this undercover operation.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a matter of killing people, it's as simple as a white knife going in and a red knife coming out." Chen Feng smiled indifferently, "But if you don't want to, you can go back, you have helped us successfully hide for so long, and killing people is not what you are good at after all." ”

"Lord Chen, please don't look down on us." The iron head darkened his face, "Our skills are not as good as yours, but we are also the handles, how can we be cowardly at this time?" ”

Looking at Tietou's determined expression, Chen Feng didn't say more, "If you really fight, you are behind us, and it is not your turn to take the lead in this kind of thing." ”

"Okay." Ironhead nodded, "So what are we doing now?" ”

"Wait, I'll make an appointment with General Xu outside to start in the early morning. Now is not the time. Chen Feng looked at the moon in the sky, and a trace of anxiety flashed on his face.
