The time soon came.

The 2,000 pioneers selected by Sun Ke and Li Jinglong had a full meal, got on a small boat and drove towards the opposite shore. At the same time, the five guards selected by Lan Zhen also boarded the big ship on the deck full of bamboo rafts, leather rafts, and other means of passage, and came to the outside of the place where the Annamites had set up their stakes, and after all the soldiers who had boarded the army had gone into the path for a quarter of an hour and no one returned, they boarded the boats and these rafts to prepare for landing.

The old boatman, who has been sailing on the Tao River and the Fuliang River all the year round, held the oars steadily, even if it was pitch black in front of them, and accurately sent them to the forest path mentioned in Modi's letter. The soldiers who first boarded the army gently abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and walked into the path by the bright moonlight.

Looking at the soldiers who were walking in one by one, Sun Ke seemed to be afraid of alarming the Annan guards, and said in a very slight voice: "Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, otherwise it would not be so easy for them to pass through this path." ”

"This is the will of heaven," Li Jinglong said with a smile: "This is God who wants me to capture Duobang City tonight." ”

When Sun Ke heard this, he also nodded and said, "It seems that even the heavens are helping us, and this battle will be won." ”

As the two of them spoke, the last soldier had already stepped into the forest path. Li Jinglong immediately ordered the heralds on the ship to turn on the lanterns and tell Lan Zhen, Zhang Fu and the others that they had all walked into the trail first.

Lan Zhen took out an hourglass made of translucent glass, which was considered a luxury at this time, poured all the sand to one side, put it on the table, pointed at it and said to Zhang Fu and the others: "The time for this hourglass to leak sand once is a quarter of an hour, and if there is no light when the sand is all leaked to the bottom, I will order the soldiers of Yulin Zuowei and several other guards to board the ship and prepare to land." ”

Zhang Fu and the others looked at the hourglass nervously. In their eyes, the speed of the hourglass quicksand was very slow, and only a few grains of sand leaked from that small hole at a time, which was insignificant compared to the extremely large amount of sand above. Sang Jing couldn't take it anymore after only a few glances, and turned his head to look at the pitch-black outside the cabin. He was afraid that he would break the hourglass in his excitement and pour all the sand underneath.

Although the others did not stop looking like him, they also turned their eyes away from time to time, even Lan Zhen was no exception; Only Zhang Fu kept staring.

In their subjective senses, it was as if an hour, or even two hours had passed, and the hourglass, which had been timed for a quarter of an hour, had finally leaked all its grains of sand below.

Zhang Fu turned his head sideways to look at the place where Li Jinglong and Sun Ke were, and there was no light coming, and said to Sang Jing and the others: "The time has come, immediately order the soldiers to board the ship!" ”

"Time?" Sang Jing came back to his senses and promised: "Yes, General Zhang." He saluted Lan Zhen again and walked out of the cabin to give the order. The other four commanders also saluted Lan Zhen and Zhang Fu and left the cabin.

Zhang Fu and Lan Zhen said a few more words, and listened to Lan Zhen tell a few more words, "Be careful, but don't be too cautious, make a move when it's time to make a move." ”

Zhang Fu nodded in agreement, and then bowed and retreated.

It was the middle of the night, and although the moon was shining brightly now, it was not easy to get the soldiers to board the boat. Zhang Fu and the others shouted continuously, and the commanders of the thousands and hundreds of households also tried their best to restrain the soldiers, and finally let everyone board the boat. Zhang Fu also left a few small boats, loaded with items that he thought had been used in the siege, and accompanied the army through the area of dense wooden stakes to a place near the beach.

They began another round of waiting. Zhang Fu ordered all the soldiers to be neatly draped, spears and swords in their hands, ready to land at any time; His own guards took turns watching the city, shouting loudly when they noticed a fire.

I don't know how long it took, in the torment that seemed to be like a year, when Zhang Fu began to doze off because he didn't sleep much in the afternoon, suddenly a shout came from beside him: "There is a fire in the west of the city!" ”

Zhang Fu immediately opened his eyes, pulled out the knife from his waist, and shouted loudly: "The time has come to attack Duobang City!" Soldiers, rush! ”

For a while, countless people shouted loudly: "Rush! "The boatman paddled a few times and let the boat come to shore. Numerous soldiers then disembarked from the ship and rushed towards the city of Dobang.

Xu Jingchang led his thousand households to rush to the front. It stands to reason that their troops, which are mainly firearms, should be in a later position; But Xu Jingchang was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't care about the instructor's usual teachings, so he rushed forward with the loaded musket in his hand.

His deputy Thousand Households and Sun Bingwen, who was also one of the Hundred Households, was sweating profusely and ran with him. He knew Xu Jingchang's true identity, or Xu Jingchang had no intention of concealing his identity from the beginning, and the entire Wei soldiers knew his identity. At the same time, they also knew that at least so far, Xu Zengshou only had one son, Xu Jingchang, and he was injured, and if he died here, he didn't think he would be better. Therefore, in addition to Xu Jingchang's several guards, Sun Bingwen led the hundred households under his direct jurisdiction to closely follow Xu Jingchang to protect him.

Sang Jing also noticed this, and was very frightened, and hurriedly sent his own guards to give Xu Jingchang an order, asking him to pause his pace and join several other thousand households.

Hearing Sang Jing's order, Xu Jingchang looked at the Duobang city wall about a mile away with great regret, unwillingly slowed down, and slowly walked to the side from the middle of the team, waiting for Sang Jing to lead his troops over. Although he can disobey Sang Jing's military orders, Sang Jing may not be able to do anything to him, and he may not dare to do anything to him, but he doesn't want to keep the hat of disobeying military orders on his head. Fortunately, because there were always about two miles from the landing place to the city of Duobang, these soldiers were also very experienced in warfare, and they all walked briskly and no one ran, and when they were about one or two hundred meters away from the city, it was easier for him to get out of the middle of the group.

But at this moment, suddenly the fire that had been lit at the west end of the city was extinguished, and it was no longer visible; At the same time, the roar of cannons sounded at the head of the city, and shells flew towards them.
