Chapter 33: Response

The atmosphere of the wide Chinese tent was strange, countless torches were lit in the camp outside the tent, and the soldiers of the Tiger Army were awakened with anger and sleepy-eyed, and everyone immediately moved to search for the assassins.

"Zhou Cang, you take people down to explore the tunnel, pay attention to safety!" I pointed to the entrance to the tunnel in the middle of the tent and commanded in a loud voice.

Zhou Cang hurriedly took the order and left.

When I came to the big tent, Tai Shici, Cao Xing, Man Chong, Le Jin and other generals also rushed over. When the anxious soldiers saw that I was safe and sound, they all rushed to tell each other, and the whole camp immediately cheered and thundered! I looked at the young and simple faces and listened to their heartfelt shouts, which deeply touched my heartstrings!

A thousand pounds of weight on your shoulders! How can I lead them to survive in these troubled times?

Here and now, so many soldiers are staring at me, waiting to give orders, how can I be so emotional? I calmed down my chaotic emotions and coughed lightly and said to several of my generals: "The barracks are vast, and it is difficult for the assassins to escape for a while, and it is very likely that they will blend in with the crowd. Each of you goes back to the camp, counts the men and horses first, and then searches carefully, not letting go of any dead ends! ”

Tai Shici and others returned to the camp one after another to follow orders. At this moment, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhou Cang rushed to my side, Zhou Cang made a standard salute, and said: "Lord, the tunnel below is more than fifty zhang long, and only one person can bend down to pass, it must be newly dug." But when you get close to the moat, it's over. ”

I groaned a little and muttered to myself: "Gong Yan, sure enough, I dug a tunnel from the city to the suburbs early for backup, and I became the target of her first use of the tunnel!" Interesting. ”

"My lord, you said that the tunnel has been dug a long time ago, and it should be able to lead straight to the city; I also carefully inspected it, the soil of the tunnel is fresh, it should be not long after the excavation, and the moat is almost at the end, why do you say..."Zhou Cang asked in confusion after hearing my self-talk.

"There must have been a tunnel dug in the first place, which must have been bigger, and it would not be too far from here. After our army sent the spy in the morning, they dug from the original tunnel, because it was relatively hasty, so the hole was dug very small, and after the assassin passed, they buried the old and new tunnels. Zhou Cang suddenly realized, Huo Ran's head opened, and he asked me again: "Lord, according to your speculation, there will be tunnels nearby?" ”

I am very pleased that "Scud" Zhou Cang can also think seriously today, and his questions can also be to the point, which is rare!

Smiling at him, I added, "Your question is very good, and you need to use 'listening' to deal with it." You ask Pei Yuanshao to prepare more 'ground listening' everywhere to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the tunnels again. (When it is found that the enemy is digging a tunnel, immediately dig a deep well, put a new cylinder in the well, and the mouth of the cylinder is covered with thin cowhide, so that people can listen to the movement.) The sound of the enemy digging or marching from the dug tunnel has a high propagation speed underground, and it is easy to resonate with the cylinder, so that the movement of the enemy underground can be detected. )

"Catch the assassin!" Suddenly, there was a terrible roar from the camp to the east.

It turned out to be a platoon commander in Cao Xing's regiment who was about to gather the team to count the number of people, when he suddenly noticed a soldier facing him. When passing by, the man lowered his head to avoid the platoon commander's gaze, and the platoon commander felt that something was wrong and hurriedly called out to this person.

The man didn't answer, stopped, turned around and smiled at the platoon commander, and a narrow sword in his hand stabbed into the platoon commander's chest like lightning!

The platoon commander grabbed the sharp blade on his chest with both hands, and shouted desperately before he died: "Catch the assassin!" ”

Seeing that his identity was revealed, the Assassin drew his sword, killed several people in succession, and fled to the east.

Cao Xing was furious when he saw that his subordinates had been killed one after another. He took out his stiff bow and arrow, stretched it like a full moon, and his fingers suddenly loosened, and the arrow tore through the back of the Assassin's head in an instant.

The assassin didn't look back, he was slightly shorter, his left hand stretched out, grabbed the flying arrow, and laughed: "Come and don't be rude!" After speaking, he waved his arm and threw the arrow at Cao Xing's face, Cao Xuan was so angry that he swung his bow to shoot down the arrow, and followed closely behind.

At this time, Dian Wei had led a team of tiger guards to stop in front of the assassin.

With the tiger guards blocking the road in front and Cao Xing chasing after him, the assassin is already facing a desperate situation, and it is difficult to fly with wings!

Da Da Da, the ground suddenly came from a thunderous roar, but saw a hundred meters to the west, dozens of unmanned horses seemed to be crazy, desperate to rush here, only the middle of the horse on a female knight in a strong suit, she waved several meters long leather whip, "pop papa" long whip continued to swing down, whipped on the back of the galloping angry horse, making a crisp echo. After the horses were whipped and hurt, they rushed more urgently, and slammed into this place with great momentum, and the soldiers who stood in front of the horses were terrified and avoided one after another... When the knight saw that the frenzied horse had broken through into the encirclement, she got up and shouted, "Little one, get on your horse!" ”

When the rider straightened up, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I saw that beautiful face clearly, she was actually a public loser! This cutie is really bold and knowledgeable. She touched into one of our army's horse pens, drove out the horse and rushed into battle, and personally came to meet the swordsmen who were encircled!

Seeing this, the assassin was overjoyed, jumped on a war horse, turned around and laughed: "Generals, don't work far away, take your leave!" In a matter of moments, the two of them had rushed towards the camp gate with the torrent of iron horses.

Staring at the arrogant opponent in the herd, I laughed angrily. shouted loudly: "Tai Shici, where is Cao Xing?" Shoot the horse! ”

"Xiu Xiu" two air-breaking arrows sounded, and the horses that Gong Yan and the assassin were riding suddenly screamed to the ground!

"Okay, Ziyi, fearless, sure enough, the arrow is not missing! Let's take a credit. I laughed loudly at the place where the horse turned, and pointed my spear at the point, "Capture me two!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the two men were already tumbling up, leaping and moving through the camp as swiftly as night cats; When encountering the soldiers blocking the road in front, the long whip of the public lost Yan rolled out, and the soldiers who intercepted all had their skin and flesh cracked, and they were knocked to the ground in a scream!

Between the rabbits and the falcons, a lookout platform on the side of the camp is near, and the platform is more than ten meters high. The two of them used their hands and feet together, and several jumped on the stage easily.

At this moment, hundreds of soldiers had rushed under the lookout, and in less than a few minutes, the lookout was surrounded.

Dian Wei strode to the stage and smiled proudly: "Escape, unless you give birth to wings!" Brothers, put away your bows and arrows, the lord will live. ”

I was also smiling, staring at the two on the stage to see what else they could play.

Suddenly, Gong Yiyan took out a simple and heavy strong crossbow from his back, aimed at a big tree a hundred meters away from the camp and pulled the trigger, and the crossbow made a crisp sound and nailed to the trunk of the tree five or six meters away.

I slammed my head, and her crossbow was similar to the alloy crossbow I had brought from the afterlife, both of which could fire special bolts with strings. This time she shot a long crossbow with a rope!

As I thought, she tugged the long rope in the air, which was strong and unusual, and fastened it firmly to one of the pillars of the lookout. What she took out next immediately stunned me! These are two metal hangers-like utensils, as thick as an index finger, a wide ruler, and the upper end is connected to a simple carved bronze live buckle! I secretly exclaimed: the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated. It seems that too many good things are buried under the dust of history!

Gong Yiyan skillfully buckled the bronze live buckle into the long rope, waved his hand to let the "little A" grab the "metal hanger" with both hands first, and then grabbed the "metal hanger" behind him, and shouted: "Go!" ”

The two of them slid down the long rope from the observation deck more than ten meters high, like an aerial cable car in the future, whistling past, sliding under the big tree in the blink of an eye, and running towards the depths of the night...

A few hundred meters away from the camp is a small hill, a few miles away is a small hill, if the two of them run into the mountains and forests, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to catch two sneaking masters in the night!

At this time, the door of our military camp was wide open, and countless soldiers had rushed to the big tree, like a torch dotted with stars illuminating the surroundings of the big tree, where was there still half a figure?

The soldiers looked at each other with dejected expressions. Xu Chu slashed at the trunk of the tree with a big knife and scolded unwillingly: "Let the two thieves run away again!" ”

Dian Wei also felt the same way, and replied: "Yes, the thief has the miraculous skill of 'ninjutsu', and I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch the black light." ”

Seeing that everyone was depressed, I laughed violently and said confidently: "Don't worry, they can run the monk and can't run the temple!" ”

"Where is Pei Yuanshao?" I shouted, "Bring in the hounds!" ”

Pei Yuanshao was ordered to go back to find the dog, his fat body was extremely sensitive at the moment, and he jumped back to the engineer camp in a few breaths.

"Woohoo!" Soon there was a dog barking, fierce and loud.

"Good dog!" Everyone praised in unison. At this moment, I saw Pei Fatzi panting and pulling a giant dog like a calf, its fur was as black as lacquer, under the light of the fire, it was black and shiny, and its night vision eyes were faintly shining green in the night, and the momentum was particularly fierce.

"Black Panther, come here!" I beckoned to the mighty black dog. This dog was obtained by me when I raided Wang Qi's mansion after I conquered Beihai. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were few entertainment activities, and hunting out of the city was one of the most popular sports of wealthy families, and an excellent hunting dog was hard to find at that time. Wang Qi was originally a gentleman and loved hunting, and this black dog was purchased from the distant Western Regions for thousands of gold, so he cheapened me if he didn't want to.

In my later life, I loved to raise dogs and had a lot of experience. When I first saw it, I was very happy, renamed it Black Panther, and ran to train it whenever I had free time. During this period of busy military affairs, he handed over the method to Pei Fatzi and asked him to continue to train the dog.

When the panther saw that his master had summoned him, he immediately shook his head and tail, screamed happily, and immediately dragged Pei Fatzi towards me. I took Xu Chu's black cloth and placed it in front of the panther's nose. The panther sniffed back and forth a few times, then suddenly turned its head and roared loudly in a northeast direction.

I am overjoyed to see this, more than two months of training have not been in vain, and the panther already has the appearance of a police dog in the future. I asked Pei to loosen the rope tied to the dog pen.

The rope was slightly loosened, and the panther rushed to the northeast, and the rope in Pei Fatzi's hand was immediately stiffened and straightened, and he involuntarily rushed forward with his huge body.

I waved my hand and told everyone to follow. The generals Dian Wei and Tai Shici all had very different faces, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in my gourd. But everyone didn't ask, it should be vaguely thinking of something. In this way, the vicious dog was in front, and our group followed up, sweeping to the northeast.
