"Brother Tie, my Sizhou army has begun to attack, the battle is extremely fierce, one more delay, our army will have one more casualties, you better hurry up and come up with a charter!" Wei Hui stood beside Niu Gao and said in a low voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Beside him, he followed a few dead soldiers of the Sizhou army who had gone up the mountain together, and when they saw the iron and fire in the distance, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, and they just wanted to immediately raise their weapons and kill them, and meet their comrades under the mountain.

Niu Gao nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to make a decision, what are the plans of the owner of the Wei Zhuang?" ”

Wei responded: "Brother Tie, this matter is also easy. In the second half of the night, I waited for the weapons to take weapons and set fire to the cottage, causing chaos among the thieves, and then took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and take our army up the mountain. ”

Niu Gao smiled coldly and said, "Set fire everywhere and open the city gate?" ”

Wei Hui saw Niu Gao's disapproving expression, and asked in amazement: "Brother Tie, am I not right?" ”

Niu Gao: "Master Wei Zhuang hasn't fought before, right?" How ridiculous you say that you open the city gates to receive the army and send the army up the mountain. This mountain is full of passes, three steps and one card, ten steps and one fort, how can you beat it? We are only twenty years old, and we only need to open two gates, and we will arouse the idea of the Mani demons, and if we don't say it, we will be destroyed in an instant. ”

Yes, by the time the Cold Weapon War had developed into the Song Dynasty, a complete set of offensive and defensive tactics had evolved. After more than half a year of operation, the Manichaean followers in Lianyunzhai have an extremely tight defense system. Everywhere there are layers of deer barrages, moats, walls and forts. Even if the attacker has a huge advantage, after breaking through one layer of defense, another layer of fortifications will wait behind. You can only gnaw on it little by little, and you can't be in a hurry.

Hearing Niu Gao say this, everyone was in the same place.

Wei Hui was ashamed: "Brother Tie, I used to have a low status in the Mo Rebellion Sect, although I have been on the battlefield, but I am confused about the war. If the switch doesn't work, what about setting it on fire? ”

Niu Gao shook his head: "It's okay to set fire, but it can only make the mountain chaotic for a moment, Zhong and Yang are not stupid, so they will naturally prevent the water." I've been looking around the mountains for a while, and the demons have prepared a lot of sand and water for fire extinguishing in the village. ”

Wei Hui stumbled and said, "So what should I do?" ”

Niu Gao clenched his fists: "Actually, it's very simple, just kill Zhong and Yang." Seeing the heads of these two people, the demon crowd has no leader, and it will inevitably collapse without a fight. ”

Everyone else nodded at the same time and said in a low voice: "Niu Jun has a good way, shoot people first and shoot horses first, and capture thieves and capture kings first." ”

Wei Hui was a careful person, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Tie, you are the only one who has entered the Zhong Xiang Puppet Palace, but you don't know what the situation is, can we eat it?" ”

Hearing him ask, everyone looked at Niu Gao at the same time.

Niu Gao: "I have already checked clearly, Zhong Xiang's puppet palace is actually two large courtyards, four houses and two lobby houses. ”

As he spoke, he drew his knife and drew a map on the ground.

Everyone looked around and whispered, "I see." ”

In fact, Zhong Xiang's palace was just a landlord's manor in the past, divided into two parts, the outer house and the inner house, and the shape was a bit like an ordinary temple. Outside is a mountain gate, two rows of houses, which is the daily office of the so-called civil and military officials. In the back is Zhong Xiang's bedroom and the family's residence.

Niu Gao said: "I have found out that there is a team of 50 people stationed in that place. ”

Niu Gao's soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the soldiers smiled and said: "It's just fifty people, it's not a big deal, one charge will take it." ”

Niu Gao shook his head: "Don't be careless." ”

The man didn't think so, and snorted: "The thieves are nothing remarkable, could it be that they can be stronger than the Jurchens?" We are all veterans of a hundred battles, general, you have the courage of ten thousand people, can you still be afraid of them? ”

Niu Gao: "Don't underestimate them, the thief army's guardian team is all strong and strong in martial arts on the battlefield." Moreover, they are all well-armored and well-equipped, but our belongings are a little colder. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone looked at the weapons on their bodies, and a wry smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

It turned out that when they pretended to be exiles and joined Manichaeism, everyone was in rags. Not to mention armor, it's good to have a big blade that can cut meat.

Originally, I thought that as long as I successfully mixed into Manichaeism, I would be able to get some supplements.

But I never expected that this Manichaeism was very poor. In addition to the main soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers like them are purely consumables. As soon as there is a battle, just send a knife or a wooden stick and rush to the front.

Everyone in the cathar team wears an iron armor, and with the rudimentary weapons in their hands, you can be strong in martial arts, and you will encounter a one-sided massacre.

Niu Gao looked at everyone's gloomy faces, and said in a low voice: "What are you worried about, will I let you sacrifice in vain?" It doesn't matter if you die, if you spoil the military envoy's major affairs, I can only jump off this cliff and break it by myself. Don't worry, I have a solution. Wait a minute, I will go back to Yang Mi and ask him for some weapons and armor, how to say that Lao Tzu is also the Marquis of Gutian of the Great Chu Dynasty, and he is also qualified to raise relatives. When the weapons and armor are in hand, we will do it at dawn tomorrow. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone rejoiced: "This is very good, as long as we have equipment in hand, we are really not afraid of these Mani demons." ”

"Brothers, early tomorrow morning, let's try to see who cuts off the head of the enemy chief."

Wei Hui laughed and said in a low voice: "Brother Paoze, if you really cut off Zhong Xiang's head, Brother Tie will definitely not be stingy, and there will definitely be a reward for a fat pig." ”

"Okay, that's it." The crowd laughed.

Wei replied: "That's it, kill the bell and reward the pig; Those who kill Yang Mi will be rewarded with sheep; Also, the one who kills the younger sister will be rewarded with a roast goose, Brother Tie, do you think it's so good? ”

The crowd laughed even louder.

Niu Gao suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and glanced at him fiercely: "Call me General Niu." He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.

"What are you guys doing here, the battle is like this, do you want to escape?" An angry voice came.

The cold sweat on everyone's bodies flowed down at the same time, and they all stretched out their feet to erase the map drawn by Niu Gao on the ground.

Niu Gaohuo turned his head and saw Zhong Ziang walking over accompanied by a general.

This general is none other than Xia Cheng, the general in charge of the first line of defense of Lianyunzhai.

Niu Gao naturally knew them, and hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen General Xia Cheng." ”

Xia Cheng and Yang Mi had a very good personal relationship, and he also admired his brother's courage and talent, and nodded politely to Niu Gao: "I've seen Gutian Hou." ”

Zhong Ziang was very jealous of Yang Qi, and asked coldly: "It turned out to be you, in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

Niu Gao: "Prince, isn't the minister the imperial doctor, and he brought his subordinates over to heal the wounded." ”

Zhong Ziang glared at the soldiers beside Niu Gao, and suddenly took a breath of cold air: "What a strong soldier, Xia Cheng, aren't you shouting that there is a shortage of soldiers, you see how this team is, I will simply hand it over to you." ”

Just kidding, these twenty people are all elite families brought by Niu Gao from Henan, and they fought hard with the leather room army and the Jurchens under Yelu Ma Wu.

Not to mention a tall and strong person, who can live until now does not have a fierce aura on him. It may not be seen in the Sizhou army, but when it comes to the group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned cultists of Manichaeism, it simply stands out from the crowd.

Xia Cheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, but...... Is this appropriate? ”

Yes, this is Niu Gao's family.

Zhong Ziang had already intended to weaken Yang Mi's power and influence in the army, so he made up his mind at the moment and shouted: "What is appropriate or inappropriate, I am the prince, and all the soldiers are from the imperial court." Since it is the food of the imperial court, it is not anyone's private soldier, so it is decided. ”

Seeing his subordinates unwillingly being taken away by Xia Cheng, Niu Gao and Wei Hui were stunned.

yes, they don't have to worry about the soldiers' equipment now. After getting these twenty elites, Xia Cheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to bring iron armor to arm them to the teeth and pull them to the city wall.

However, if you want to raid Zhong Xiang's palace at dawn tomorrow and have a beheading operation, there is no possibility for Niu Gao and Wei Hui alone.

For a while, the two were depressed and wanted to die.

When they left, Niu Gao was a little annoyed: "Master Weizhuang, what is going on now?" ”

Wei Hui sighed: "General Niu, the matter has come to this, there is no way to think about it, we have no use in this mountain, let's find a way to escape down the mountain!" ”

"Escape...... How to escape? Niu Gao shouted: "It took us so much effort to get to the mountain, and we gained Zhong Xiang's trust, so we went back like this, and how would we go to see the military envoy in the future?" ”

He gritted his teeth violently: "That's it, let's go into the palace to see Zhong Demon Kou now, and kill this fang, which can be regarded as an explanation to the military envoy and Brother Pao Ze in the army." ”

Niu Gao has a dead will in his heart, and wants to eliminate Jing Ke and Gao who stabbed Qin.

"General, no, no!" Wei Hui gripped his hand tightly.

Niu Gao was about to shake him off, when suddenly, a thought arose in his heart: "The hand of the owner of the Wei Zhuang is not small!" ”

Wei Hui was stunned: "What...... Although he has read books, he also works in the fields on weekdays, and he also has a lot of strength. ”

Niu Gao: "I know a place, it's ...... over there" He pointed to a cliff in the distance: "Although the terrain is dangerous, there are not a few thieves to defend that place. I'll kill the guards there and put you down with a rope. When you reach the bottom of the cliff, you immediately rush back to the old camp to meet the military envoy, and ask him to send a team of men and horses to go up with me into the puppet palace. ”

He rubbed his hands excitedly, and his eyes were full of light: "That's fine, you tell the military envoy that tomorrow dawn please ask him to wait at the bottom of the mountain with his main force." Once I kill Zhong Xiang, I will set a fire. Seeing the fire, our army immediately launched a general attack. ”
