Chapter 44: The Flames of War (1)

With the end of the military meeting held in the big tent of the Chinese army, the officers above the fourth rank quickly left and carried out the orders arranged by Xin Xi one by one.

During the day, the entire barracks did not move in the slightest, as if nothing had been discussed in this military discussion.

In the evening, two black shadows quickly appeared from the west, and in a continuous flicker, they had already appeared in the barracks.

"Commander!" The two shadow guards knelt down on one knee and said, "I set off at noon, and I did find a continuous warship on that Fuxian Lake!" Moreover, where the warship was moored, behind the warship, there was an island in the middle of the lake of no small size! But for fear of startling the snake, the two of us did not investigate in detail, but it can be deduced that there are at least tens of thousands of troops over there! ”

Tens of thousands?

Xin Xi nodded, if he had a naval army in his hands, he could launch a water war, and even send people with good water characteristics to dive into the lake and scuttle the Dali people's warships!

It's a pity that the scale of the Guangzhou Navy is not large, and the Dengzhou Navy is too far away from Dali.

"Okay, I know, gather everyone back, and at the same time, you can tentatively sneak into Ning'an City, if you can sneak in, you will make an appointment with Master Wang, see the fire as a number, and the inside and outside should be together!"

"Whoa!" After the two shadow guards made their promise, they disappeared in an instant.

Xin Xi frowned slowly, although there were 70,000 Dali troops on the sea, this was a threat like Mang's back, but judging from the fact that the other party did not take the initiative to attack in the past few days, those guys should have always planned to take advantage of his attack on Ning'an, and choose to attack front and back!

In this way, that is, the initiative in this war is in the hands of Xin Zhen!

Since the initiative is in his hands, and he knows the location of the opponent's 70,000 army, he naturally has to prepare foolproof before he can really start this war!

And the so-called preparations, as early as noon during the military meeting, he had already arranged everything, and the next thing was to wait!

After all the arrangements by the lake are completed, he will lead a large army to attack Ning'an City, and at that time, this war, which only took a month or two at the beginning, should also correct its previous mistakes and turn it back completely!

When night fell, there was slow movement in the camp of the army, and 20,000 people were woken up from their sleep, followed their commander, and went to the west of Fuxian Lake, about ten zhang away, looking at the lake reflecting the moonlight, everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Then, in the ignorance of all the forbidden troops, they received a strange order!

The order is - dig a hole in the same place!

The requirement is a deep pit that is three zhang wide and at least five zhang deep!

The order was given, and 20,000 people quickly moved, and it was not until the morning star appeared in the eastern sky that the order was handed down, allowing everyone to take advantage of the night and quickly return to the barracks.

And after returning to the barracks, they participated in digging 20,000 people, and everyone received a bowl of broth, and there were even three large pieces of meat in this broth!

The whole day was peaceful again.

Until the next night, when the 20,000 people who had gone out the night before were sleeping soundly, 15,000 of the 30,000 who had not been on their turn the night before were called up and continued to the lake, where they continued to deepen the deep tunnel that had been dug the previous night.

It was another night's work, but even if it was two consecutive nights, a total of 35,000 people were dispatched, and the five-mile-long tunnel was still only one zhang deep.

So, on the night of the third day, another 15,000 people were rotated and the digging continued.

And on the night of the second day, the Shadow Guard finally took the opportunity to infiltrate Ning'an City.

The scale of Ning'an City is not large, if you have to find a famous city to compare, this Ning'an City is about the size of Yangcheng, the capital of the Yellow Emperor tribe, and it is ...... It is not a square circle, but a circumference of three miles, and the circumference of the entire city wall is only three miles, which is about the size of a radius of about four hundred meters.

It is a very small city, but the walls are more than three feet high.

After climbing over the city wall, Chen Dong shook his head and walked all the way to the tallest building in the center of Ning'an City.

None of the defenders spotted him.

To tell the truth, with the stealth ability of the Shadow Guard, even the four armies in the capital may not be able to find their traces, let alone the forbidden army in this place, even if the 20,000 forbidden troops guarding this Ning'an City are all Hebei troops!

If there is a Tiance army, it will probably be able to find Chen Dong's traces, but the last Tiance army in Ning'an City has been killed by Xin Zhen, and the head of the Tiance army is now being sent to Bianjing with a 'guilty book'.

In less than half a mile away, Chen Dong only took twenty breaths to touch the tallest building in Ning'an City, the Ning'an City Lord's Mansion!

Castle Lord's Mansion...... It's so far away!

Chen Dong sighed slightly, and walked along the corridor, avoiding the forbidden army team that was routinely patrolling all the way, and slowly approached the room that was still flickering with dim lights.

Walking outside the window, listening intently for a while, but hearing nothing, Chen Dong poked through the window paper again and looked inside.

Although he can flash into the house directly, he has to make sure that His Excellency the King Master is not doing anything unseemly, otherwise, if people find a woman to vent because of too much pressure, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to suddenly appear on the battlefield? !

Looking through the small hole in the window paper, there was no imaginary beautiful picture, but a rather haggard person, leaning on the edge of the table, looking at something with a sad face.

Sure that there would be no embarrassing situation, Chen Dong's body disappeared in place, but the next moment he appeared in the house, behind the haggard man.

"Master Pony!" Chen Dong bowed his head and spoke.

Wang Shiyue, who was sitting in front of the table, was slightly surprised, turned his head, and when he saw that the person who suddenly appeared was dressed in black, the surprise on his face turned into a matter of course.

"Is it the Shadow Guard? Eleven asked you to come?! Wang Shiyue asked.

Chen Dong raised his head and looked at Wang Shiyue.

At this moment, on Wang Shiyue's face, he can no longer see the radiant face that belongs to the son-in-law of the official family, the face that is very bookish, only haggard remains, and with the skin that seems to have not been washed for a long time and looks greasy, and the black eyes, this face is even a little ugly!

Chen Dong nodded: "Yes, the commander asked me to come over!" ”

Wang Shiyue smiled and said, "Are you here to ask my last words?" ”

Chen Dong was slightly stunned, and then said: "My command envoy is not so immeasurable, and the commander asked me to tell the master of the horse, with the fire as the number, the inside and the outside should be together!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Shiyue's whole body stiffened.

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "The words have been delivered, it's time to go!" ”

"Wait!" Wang Shiyue hurriedly shouted: "Help me tell Shiyi Lang, the commander of the Annan Army, Wang Shiyue should not be robbed, my Wang Shiyue ...... Wrong! ”

Chen Dong nodded, and his body disappeared in place.

Half an hour later, Xin Yi appeared in Xin Yi's room, and she couldn't help but lose her mind when she looked at the face that had been sleeping and seemed very quiet.

But at this moment, the quiet face suddenly opened his eyes.

This scene made Dexin's heart jump abruptly, and the infinite panic in her heart almost made her lose her inches at this moment!

"Something?" Xin Xi asked indifferently, and sat up from the bed as he spoke.

Xin Yi lowered his head, didn't dare to look over, and said in an indifferent voice: "Yes, the news has been passed to Wang Shiyu, and Wang Shiyue asked Chen Dong to bring a word." ”

"What?" Xin Xi was a little curious.

Xin Yi still lowered his head: "Wang Shiyue said that he should not grab the position of the commander of the Annan Army, he said, he was wrong." ”

"Is that so?" Xin Zhen chuckled, didn't care much, but held his chin and thought about it, and after a while, he spoke: "Let Chen Dong run, go to Liu Jintang's side, let Liu Jintang leave 3,000 people in Cangshui, and then, let him run westward, block Yandang Mountain, prevent the Gupta Dynasty from coming over, and then, leave 7,000 people in Yandang Mountain, and the remaining 20,000 troops, go around to the back of the Dali capital, and break the Dali Wangcheng for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Whoa!" Quickly promised, Xin Yi was about to leave.

Xin Yi glanced at Xin Yi strangely, but hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." ”

"Huh?" Xin Yi's neck was red, and his mind was completely occupied by panic, could it be ......

"At the same time, let the two shadow guards go to the Erhai Sea Bridge to supervise the battle! If those eight guys dare to disobey the yang and the yin, kill, and kill, the Shadow Guard will control the 20,000 army with the order arrow, and they only need to attack the sea bridge all the time! Xin Zhen said slowly, his eyes radiating an infinite light of confidence.

Is this the case?!

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed, and then ran away as if he had fled.

On the seventh day of December, on the east bank of Fuxian Lake, that is, the one on the west side of the river bridge, the three-zhang wide and six-deep tunnel was finally completed, and the tunnel was covered with fine wood, hay and leaves, etc., and then sprinkled with soil on the dry grass leaves, so that there was no difference between it and the surrounding ground.

It was also on this day that the Shadow Guard Army came with the news that on the side of the Erhai Sea Bridge, the eight commanders did not send troops from beginning to end, but had been stationed on the shore of Erhai Lake, so all eight commanders were beheaded.

Chen Dong, the shadow guard, took Xin Zhen's arrows and the handsome seal recovered from the hands of the eight commanders, controlled the army of 20,000, and began to attack the Erhai Bridge, and also began to contain the part of the Dali army in Zhenhaiguan.

The big tent of the Chinese army in the river bridge, looking at the eight boxes placed in front of him, Xin Xi was silent, and then nodded.

The forbidden army who had sent the box stepped forward.

The box was opened, and eight plastered heads appeared, which were the heads of the eight commanders of the Shuzhong Forbidden Army.

Glancing at the dry head that had been a little dehydrated, Xin Yi turned his head and asked with some concern: "These eight people are in Shuzhong, they are members of a big family, and their relationship between the DPRK and China is even more intertwined, so if you kill them all like this, won't there be trouble?!" ”

Xin Xi waved his hand and motioned for the forbidden army to take away the eight heads, and then chuckled: "I have a chance for them, if they don't cherish it, then they can only kill!" Moreover, I am not to blame for resisting the military order and being killed! ”

"As for the family behind them and the relationship between the DPRK and China?!" Xin Zhen laughed: "As long as they dare to jump out, I will dare to kill!" ”

The cold language drifted in the room, and the few forbidden soldiers who had not had time to go out were all stunned, and their faces were completely frozen, for fear that they would be killed because they heard such a secret.

After discovering that Xin Xi and Xin Yi didn't care about them, the forbidden soldiers carried the box containing the head and ran out quickly.

And Xin Yi's gaze at Xin Yi became even hotter.

Xin Zhen shook his head lightly, exuding inexplicable infinite confidence on his body, and said: "After Dali fights down, establish contact with Tianzhu and get the elephant, then, the Great Song Dynasty will usher in a new era, and under the new era, all those who try to stop me in vain can only be crushed to death by the general trend!" ”

In every era, there will be some annoying people and things, even systems, those systems and the like, restricting the development of society, if in a stable society, those systems are indeed not able to challenge, even the most powerful people in the world, do not dare to challenge.

But once the general trend of social change appears, it is very easy to eradicate those rotten things.

And as long as Dali fights down, the general trend that Xin Xi has been painstakingly creating will begin to sprout, and then, it will be a new generation that no one can stop!

Xin nodded, as if lost in thought.

On this day, countless orders came out of Xin Yi's mouth, and were passed on to all aspects by Xin Yi, and the time of the day passed in various arrangements.

After the third watch, it should be one o'clock in the morning in the later life, which is already counted as the beginning of the eighth day of December, and the eighth day of December is the Laba Festival.

The weather improved slightly, even in the early hours of the morning, it was not too cold.

At this time, 50,000 troops poured out, but 35,000 troops rushed towards Ning'an City, while the other 15,000 people were heading towards the edge of Fuxian Lake.

At the same time as the 50,000 troops left the camp, the twenty shadow guards left in unison and appeared in the Dali military camp under Ning'an City.

The guards of the gate died silently, and then the gate was opened, and the twenty shadow guards marched forward again, and after walking half the way, they divided into two roads, one towards the grain and grass that had been probed long ago, and the other towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

After about fifty breaths, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from the Chinese army's big tent.

On the other side, the granary of the Dali army caught fire, and the fire spread rapidly, especially in this night with moderate winds (the southeast monsoon in Dali winter), the fire accelerated the spread speed.

In a moment, the fire was so fierce that even the sky was reflected with a dark red light.

In Ning'an City, the herald hurriedly ran to the appointment room of the king master: "Master Horse, there is a fire, a fire, a monstrous fire!" ”

Wang Shiyue was slightly stunned, and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will go out of the city, kill!" ”

And outside Ning'an City, Xin Xi looked at the monstrous firelight, pursed his lips tightly, and then drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Tens of thousands of troops rushed into the Dali military camp like a torrent!

Also at this time, on Fuxian Lake, Duan De also saw the monstrous fire, and then resolutely ordered: "Go ashore and kill!" ”

Hundreds of warships rowed rapidly, and on each ship, there were more than a thousand people, and on the three big ships, there were nearly three thousand people, not to mention, there were hundreds of those ships wandering next to the warships, and there were forty or fifty people on each of them!

Not just 70,000 troops, but more than 100,000 and almost 200,000 troops!
