(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Xu Ji woke up from his sleep, broke out in a cold sweat, and blamed himself, two hundred soldiers were about to risk attacking the enemy camp, victory or defeat was related to the survival of the whole army, how could he sleep soundly at this time?

In fact, he slept for less than half an hour.

"Tang Weitian."

"Yes." Tang Weitian, who has always been sleepy, has always been by the side, and he responds as soon as he calls.

"When?"

"I don't know."

Xu Ji didn't ask any more questions, got up and walked out.

"Childe won't rest for a while?"

"On this good night, it's time to patrol the camp and ask the soldiers."

"But everyone else is asleep." Tang Weitian muttered quietly.

Indeed, most of the officers and men in the battalion were resting, and Xu Ji walked in the silent camp and whispered: "The snoring is everywhere, which means that the army is stable and very good." ”

"Hehe, Childe...... No, the Metropolitan Governor really wants to open it. Tang Weitian said with a smile, still holding the magic stick in his arms, even when he ate before, he had to put the stick on his lap, and he had to keep it for a moment, let alone allow outsiders to touch it.

There was no drum change in the camp, it all relied on the city to pass the time, Xu Ji looked up at the sky, and felt that the third watch had passed.

Someone came over with a torch in front of him, and Tang Weitian asked vigilantly, "Who is here?" ”

"Bowton. Is the Metropolitan Governor ahead? ”

"It turned out to be Bao Hujun." Xu Ji greeted him.

Baudun and six of his men were also patrolling the camp.

The two walked side by side, talking about military affairs, such as whether there was news from the scouts, whether there were officers and soldiers in the vicinity to monitor, whether the guides they chose were reliable, and how to respond after a night attack......

didn't go out much, and met Song Xingci again, he got up early to check the dry food and ordnance, there were too few horses in the army, and they could only sneak attack the enemy camp on foot.

"The officers and soldiers are afraid of nothing more than the fall of the Eastern Capital, you attack the camp from the rear, one is to set fire, and the other is to claim to be the descendant army ......of the Eastern Capital."

Song Xingju said with a smile: "Most of these things have been explained by the Metropolitan Governor, I keep it in my heart, we set fire to the camp, and the Metropolitan Governor brought people to rush to support, we don't fight with the officers and soldiers, just let them panic and flee in all directions, right?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Ji smiled and immediately put away his smile.

When the time was almost up, Song Xingqi woke up the soldiers and ordered them to prepare within a quarter of an hour, and then set off, gnawing dry food on the way.

The Jingzhou general who volunteered to participate in the sneak attack was named Dai Pohu, a tomb was found in his hometown, he went to see the excitement, made a bet with people, raised a stone tiger in front of the grave with both hands, and broke the ground, so it was named, and he was famous for his bravery in the Jingzhou camp, and was quite respected.

I don't know if I didn't sleep well, or if I had other ideas, Dai Pohu's face was a little gloomy, and when he saw the governor, he was just uh-huh, so he was not as respectful as during the day.

Xu Jiyue wanted to look calm and composed, and asked for a suit of armor from Bao Dun, which Tang Weitian helped to wear on his body.

Seeing this, Dai Pohu asked in surprise: "The Governor wants to go with us?" This is not good, the whole battalion is counting on you. ”

"The eastern capital has been surrounded by the rebels, the officers and soldiers are frightened, and they will be broken with one blow, and I will also compete with you."

Everyone persuaded Xu Ji to reluctantly agree not to participate in the night attack, but he was still wearing armor and made a promise: "The enemy camp is on fire, and the army here will set off immediately, you are careful, there is no need to entangle with the officers and soldiers, let them run." ”

Song Xingqi and Dai Pohu led the people to set out, led by local guides, and detoured from the path, and they would be able to attack the enemy camp from the rear before dawn.

The rest will have to wait.

The officers and men in the battalion gradually woke up, and the scouts in front brought back the news that there was no change in the camp of officers and soldiers.

The horses in the city were also transferred out, fat and thin, a total of more than 70 horses, Xu Ji personally selected a group of cavalry, when the time came, the cavalry first, the infantry followed, plus the night raiders, three attacks before and after, should make the officers and soldiers rout.

Xu Ji believed that the plan was foolproof, but there was no way to be really calm and fearless in his heart.

This was the first time he had led his troops into battle, and he couldn't do without a hint of anxiety.

Bao Dun advised him to go back to the tent to rest, "The governor of the capital is the commander of the first army, and he should sit firmly in the tent of the Chinese army. ”

"Bao Hujun is right."

Xu Ji returned to the tent, lit the oil lamp, sat on the stool, and asked Tang Weitian to lift the curtain, so that he could see the people coming and going outside, and he could be seen outside.

Meng Shenglun entered uninvited, and sent a plate of cooked meat and a pot of turbid wine, "It's the coldest before dawn, so the governor of the capital drinks some hot wine to drive away the cold." ”

"It couldn't be better."

Tang Weitian moved another stool, Meng Shenglun sat down, put a plate of cooked meat on his lap, took out the cup from his arms and poured wine, and said with a smile: "The cup is washed, don't dislike it." ”

Xu Ji took the wine glass, took a sip, reached out and grabbed a piece of meat, and said while chewing: "The wine is good, the meat is good, what is there to be picky?" ”

Meng Seng Lun poured another cup and said to Tang Weitian: "Although Xiao Tang is thin, he has great strength and courage, and he dares to follow the Lord into the dangerous place, come, I will give you a cup." ”

Tang Weitian was very useful, took the wine glass and drank it all, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, the small half plate of meat was gone, "The wine is delicious, but I love meat more." ”

"Haha." Meng Seng Lun poured himself wine, drank it slowly, chatted with Xu Ji, and talked about the customs of Wu Kingdom.

Xu Ji listened with relish and asked, "General Meng turned out to be a general of the forbidden army of Wu State, and he was disrespectful. ”

"Hey, I relied on Zuyin to live in the forbidden army, bearing the name of a general, in fact, I don't know how to lead troops, let alone fight, but compared with the children of other seven clans, I can support a heavy armor, which is considered dignified, so I was valued by the emperor and gave me the title of a general. Truth be told, I'm also an Israelite. ”

Xu Ji laughed, "Even now, General Meng is still imposing. ”

Meng Shenglun shook his head, "When I was young, I was an embroidered pillow, and when I was old, even the outer layer of 'embroidery' was almost polished." Over the years, I have always felt guilty and resented myself for my incompetence, which caused the emperor to commit suicide and martyrdom, and the princess to be killed in a foreign land. ”

"The death of Wu is not the crime of the general."

Meng Senglun squeezed out a smile, raised his glass and drank all the wine, and his expression became excited again, "When I heard that the Emperor of All Things was assassinated, half of my thoughts were missing, and when I heard that the assassin was the son of the princess, the other half of my thoughts disappeared." The princess has a son like this, and she should smile under the nine springs, happy, happy! ”

"General...... How did you recognize a princess back then? ”

Meng Shenglun took the opportunity to pour wine, was silent for a while, and then said: "I was accused by the emperor of being a concubine, if it weren't for the country's ruin, I would have married the princess a month later." ”

Xu Ji was also silent, not knowing what to say.

Meng Senglun drank all the wine in the cup, knowing that it was bitter, but there was no trickle left, "Please forgive me, I have hidden these words in my heart for too long, no one can speak, today is not the time, but ...... I only hope that the Metropolitan Governor understands: I failed to protect the princess back then, and I still hold a grudge, the sky is pitiful, and the princess has a son, I have no other ability, but if there is a breath, I must stay in front of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Xu Ji handed the wine glass and meat plate to Tang Weitian, got up and bowed deeply to Meng Seng Lun, "Please accept my worship General Meng." ”

Meng Senglun hurriedly got up and helped, "The Governor of the Metropolis ......"

The jack scale said outside the door: "It's almost, the governor can get on the horse." ”

Xu Ji nodded to Meng Shenglun, this was the first time he really felt that the slightest connection between Wu Guo and himself was real and useful.

More than 50 cavalrymen got on the horse, and Xu Ji insisted on leading the team in person despite the opposition of the generals.

The infantry was also ready, and all looked into the distance.

The camp of the officers and soldiers is not far from here, but there is a mountain blocking it, unless the fire is in the sky, there is nothing to be seen here, and it still depends on the news of the scouts.

But everyone remained staring.

The chill before dawn was the heaviest, and no matter how thick the clothes were, he couldn't stop the cold, Xu Ji held the reins, and felt that he should say something to ease the atmosphere.

"Whoever catches the officers and soldiers, if they can not kill them, they will not kill them, and bring them to me, and I have to thank him for this great gift."

Xu Ji said a little stiffly, but the people around him still laughed, you and I said a word, and the atmosphere changed and became less tense.

The jack scale pointed into the distance, "It seems to have a fire!" ”

Xu Ji also saw it, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and not long after, there was a gong sound.

It was a signal from the scouts ahead, and there was indeed a fire in the enemy camp.

Xu Ji slapped his horse forward, followed by the cavalry, and then the infantry.

As soon as he left the camp, a scout came running out of breath and shouted, "It's over! ”

Wu Jun accelerated.

Before they reached the corner, the fire in the camp was clearly visible, and the panic shouts in the camp could be heard.

Xu Ji drew his sword, Xue Ning hugged Guan and the others, let out a howl, and the voices behind him converged and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Xu Ji's mount is a good horse, but he is not a first-class knight, and he is still a stone's throw away from the enemy camp, and he is surpassed by others.

The officers and men circled the camp with vehicles, leaving only a narrow and winding path, where the horses had to slow down, and it was very easy to become a target for bows and crossbows, but the officers and men were already in chaos, and there was no one to guard the passage and the camp gate.

Xu Ji smoothly entered the camp, just galloping, shouting, a few times, scattered officers and soldiers ran in front of the horse, as if they could be slashed with a knife, but he gave up the pursuit, strictly abide by the strategy he had formulated in advance: this night attack, not to kill the enemy, but to disperse the officers and soldiers, extinguish the power of chaos, grow their own spirit, and by the way snatch a batch of military funds.

The Wu army was still unable to fight a tough battle.

The shouts around him became louder and louder, but it gradually became quiet behind him, Xu Ji ran to the end, turned the horse's head, and found that there was only one person left behind him.

It is by no means an easy task to firmly follow the main general in the chaotic army, which requires years of drills and strict orders, and the Wu army did not have the same, and soon after entering the camp, they fought separately in the dark.

The remaining person is not Tang Weitian, nor Meng Shenglun, but a golden scale.

Qianjin Liang held a spear, "Governor, go to the place where the fire is on fire, so that everyone can see each other." ”

Xu Ji nodded, looked at the nearest fire, patted the horse and rushed forward, just a few steps away, he felt a heavy blow on the back, the whole person fell off the horse, and the knife in his hand was also thrown out.

Xu Ji was plotted, and the first time he led troops to fight, he was betrayed by his own people.

Qianjin Liang jumped off the horse, ran to Xu Ji's side, stuck Changyu on the ground, and pulled out his short blade, "I'm sorry, Dadudu, borrow your head." The officers and soldiers are overwhelming, defeat this group, and there is the next group, I don't want to be frightened anymore, and you may be able to change your head to an official. ”
