Volume 4 Chapter 21 Taking advantage of the chaos to attack the camp
The night was very dark, the wind was very cold, and on a hill about two miles north of the camp of the rebels, there stood a lonely military tent, and the two soldiers of the rebel army sat around the fire in front of the tent and chatted with each other. It was too dark, and they didn't even have the desire to get up and look at the foot of the mountain.
However, what they didn't expect was that there were really people walking in the dark on such a cold night, and there were not one or two, there were many, many of them, and one of them was a group of people who broke away and fled silently to the hill.
The group were all dressed in jet-black night clothes, and in such a dark night, it was impossible to see anyone without staring at them carefully.
They crept close to the tent like ghosts, and suddenly lurked when they were still dozens of paces away. At this moment, two more people came out of the crowd and walked quickly towards the fire in front of the military tent, their figures were so elegant, as if they were volleying empty steps without making a sound at all.
The two men in black swept behind the two sentry rebels, covered their mouths like lightning, and drew their short blades to slash their necks, and the two sentries twitched for a while before froze.
At this time, the two black-clothed people gently put them on the ground, one of the black-clothed people stood up, waved to the back, and the black-clothed people lurking in the distance immediately surrounded them silently and burrowed into the military tent.
After a while, there was a muffled snort of "woo" in the military tent, and soon there was no sound, and then the black-clothed people who had entered the tent came out again, and one of the black-clothed men pulled down their scarves and arched their hands: "Lord Qiqi, there are exactly eight inside, and all of them are solved." ”
A man in black next to the fire pulled down his towel when he heard this, and it turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shanxi! He kicked the corpse aside and said in a deep voice, "Send a signal, let them come." ”
The man in black who had just reported hurriedly responded, ran to the fire, pulled out a branch that burned the most vigorously, ran to the northern edge and shook the burning branch up and down three times.
After a while, countless torches were lit in the north, and the stars gathered under the mountain.
At this time, another black-clothed man next to the fire also took off his face towel, and it turned out to be Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of the forward! He smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Governor, do you want to continue to touch forward?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "We can only go here, we don't know the location of the sentry in front, and it is very likely that there is a secret sentry, and it is easy to startle the snake when touched." ”
Cao Wenzhao asked again: "Can that Zhang Liwei really kill Wang Jiayin?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky in the distance, and muttered: "Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on luck, wait and see, even if it doesn't work, we have to do it." ”
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he no longer asked, but untied his belt and took off the tight black clothes on his body, threw it into the hands of the black-clothed man next to him, and then tidied up the loose middle coat inside, and took a few breaths comfortably.
This Governor is really right, he even has to take action in person when he touches a sentry, and he insists on pulling him along, saying that they are the best in the army, and if they don't go up, who will go?
I touched it all the way, touched four or five sentry posts, and it was finally over, and this tight-fitting suit was too tight, and the muscles that were strangled as soon as I tried it hard, he would rather wear armor than wear this tight-fitting suit.
Cao Wenzhao secretly slandered himself for a while, and a few guards led him and Lu Xiangsheng's war horses, carrying their armor and weapons, he and Lu Xiangsheng changed into armor together, stood by the bonfire and waited quietly.
After about a quarter of an hour, a group of soldiers dressed as thieves slowly came out of the darkness, and a big man at the head saw this strange scene around the bonfire and couldn't help but nervously hold the hilt of his knife and shouted, "Who is it? ”
At this time, Zhang Liwei behind him hurriedly held down his hand with the knife drawn, pulled him to kneel on one knee and saluted: "See Lord Governor." ”
Lu Xiangsheng stared at the food box he put beside him, and asked expectantly, "Is it done?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liwei opened the lid of the food box and pushed it forward, and said loudly: "The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Lu Xiangsheng carefully identified it by the light of the fire, it was Wang Jiayin's head, and he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, okay, you will be my deputy general of the Tianxiong Army in the future." ”
After all, promising and fulfilling are two different things, Zhang Liwei saluted excitedly: "Thank you, Your Excellency." ”
Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward to help him up, and said to Wang Guozhong next to him: "This is Wang Guozhong, General Wang, right?" ”
Wang Guozhong hurriedly saluted and said, "It's the villain." ”
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wang Guozhong carefully, this person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks more powerful than Zhang Liwei, he couldn't help but nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, you will also be my deputy general of the Tianxiong Army." ”
Wang Guozhong shook his body excitedly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Governor." ”
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and stepped forward to help him up, relieved, and asked them to step aside.
The thief leader Wang Jiayin has been ambushed, it is a good time to sneak attack the enemy camp, Lu Xiangsheng signaled the guards to collect Wang Jiayin's head, and then led the war horse to rush down the mountain.
At this time, the 120,000 horses under Lu Xiangsheng were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, Lu Xiangsheng came to the front of the formation, turned over his horse, and said loudly: "Li Mingfu, Zuo Guangxian." ”
Li Mingfu and Zuo Guangxian hurriedly stepped forward and arched their hands: "The last general." ”
Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Order the two of you to lead 10,000 musketeers each, go around from the left flank to the left side of the enemy camp, and line up two rows of long snakes at a distance of 100 steps from the enemy camp. ”
Li Mingfu and Zuo Guangxian arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Lu Xiangsheng said loudly again: "Cui Zongyin, Li Guoqi." ”
Cui Zongyin and Li Guoqi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The last general." ”
Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Order the two of you to lead 10,000 musketeers each, go around the right flank to the right side of the enemy camp, and line up two rows of long snakes at a distance of 100 steps from the enemy camp. ”
Cui Zongyin and Li Guoqi arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to the four of them and said, "Go ahead." ”
The four of them retreated together, and after a while, the two fire dragons broke away from the 120,000-strong army and extended to the left and right respectively.
Lu Xiangsheng watched the two fire dragons stretch to both sides, and did not continue to order, but carried the big knife in his hand and waited silently.
After all, the sentry of the rebel army was not blind, and as soon as the two fire dragons circled the back of the hill, they were discovered, and a terrible howl immediately sounded from the north of the enemy camp: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......"
At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng lifted the big knife, pointed forward, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me!" “
After that, a horse rushed out first, and the generals behind raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Rush." He also rushed out with him.
Followed by the 80,000 Tianxiong Army recruits, most of these 80,000 horses participated in the last battle, and they admired the governor Lu Xiangsheng, the commanders were so brave, they naturally couldn't be soft eggs, they saw Lu Xiangsheng and all the generals rushing out, and they also howled and followed, and the sound went straight to the sky, which lasted for a long time.
