Chapter 35: Ice and Fire

When the time came to night, the night was already deep, faint stars were faintly discernible in the sky, and under the dark blue sky was a snow field that had not yet completely melted, and after the cold wind and low temperature of the night, it formed a thin layer of ice again.

Zhao Yue was in the big tent at this time, blinking a pair of big eyes, with a handsome face, sitting cross-legged on the bed with her legs, supporting her chin with her hands. He was thinking about the meaning of war and what would happen when he fought tomorrow. Under the faint light of the fire, he did not undress or sleep, but beside him was Cao Ping's snoring one after another.

At this time, all the soldiers in the Huaxiong army should have fallen asleep.

Outside the Huaxiong army tent, the whistling north wind blew and blew, and the flames on several fires in the camp tent also shook and trembled. Under the cover of night, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the opposite coalition army, and there were more and more of them, and they all trotted towards the camp tent of the Huaxiong army. The black shadows were divided into three ways, neatly lined up, and extremely fast, like three winds across the battlefield.

In the darkness, with the help of the faint moonlight refracted from the ice, a man wearing a red scarf could be vaguely seen opening his mouth and asking, "Zhu Zhi, is there a guide?" We don't know what's going on in the camp on the other side. ”

That person was Sun Jian, he was half-lying on the ice at this time, vigilantly looking at the two sentry towers in the Huaxiong army in front of him, and then he had a flash of inspiration, turned his head and said to Zhu Zhi: "I remember that a few of Huaxiong's soldiers came to take refuge before, they should know the situation in the camp, what about them?" ”

Zhu Zhi looked at Sun Jian in the dark, his blurred face made him nervous, and he whispered in a low voice on the side: "Lord, the soldiers who came to take refuge are led by a person named Qian Hui, I ordered him to be the prison in the camp, so I will order my subordinates to call him over." ”

After speaking, Zhu Zhi gave a few instructions to the people around him, and a black shadow passed through the ice field and disappeared in front of the combined army.

Qian Hui is still very sloppy, exuding a stench all over his body, which should be related to his guarding the prison, after all, Sun Jian's tent holds a lot of prisoners, sentry agents and deserters, these people know that there is no way to survive, and they are not particular about their daily life, so they can only work hard to clean up the prison.

As soon as Qian Hui arrived, everyone, including Sun Jian, couldn't help but cover his nose, but Qian Hui didn't take it to heart, he leaned towards Sun Jian and flattered: "My lord, hehe, is there anything you call the villain?" ”

Sun Jian showed a disgusted expression, covered his mouth and nose, and said vaguely: "I heard that you are a person who defected from the opposite camp?" ”

Qian Hui slapped his thigh and replied again and again: "Oops! Exactly, exactly, general, don't you know, the people under Hua Xiong are all bullies and bullying the weak, especially the ......"

"Enough!" Sun Jian's military general, Han Dang, couldn't help it, lowered his voice, and scolded angrily: "Whatever my lord asks you, you will answer, where is all this nonsense and complaining!" ”

Qian Hui was startled, his body was shocked, and he didn't dare to say anything more, only looked at Sun Jian with a pair of cloudy yellow eyes, and rubbed his itchy eyes twice with his hands covered with plaster from time to time.

It was so disgusting, but Sun Jian still held back the anger and disgust in his heart, looked at Qian Hui, and asked flatly: "Let me ask you, what is the layout of the Huaxiong Army's camp, how many people patrol at night, and where is Huaxiong's big tent?" ”

Qian Hui thought about it carefully, and then spoke.

In the night sky, a wisp of smoke drifted through, blocking the half moon.

Half a ring passed, Qian Hui spent a lot of effort, and finally finished the whole situation, but in the process of speaking, he slurred and spoke, and the expression was not clear, or Sun Jian and his subordinates put his words together and analyzed, and only then did they get the final result.

Right now, Sun Jian had driven Qian Hui back to the United Army camp, and he didn't want to see this sloppy and traitorous person.

With the information in hand, the preparations were almost done, Sun Jian and his subordinates slowly touched the bottom of the Huaxiong camp, but the two soldiers on patrol above were a little obstructive.

Fortunately, the military general Han Dang is a person who is good at riding and archery, especially good at riding and archery. Even at night, he was sure to shoot the two men below.

At Sun Jian's behest, Han Dang began to bend his bow and arrows.

"Whoosh!"

A full bow was fired, and an arrow pierced the cold night sky, killing the soldier on the wooden tower on the left with great speed, and before the man could react to what had happened, he clutched his throat in pain and fell to the ground outside the camp.

Seeing this, the people on the wooden building on the right were taken aback, and hurriedly shouted at the camp, "Oh no......"

However, before he could finish his words, he only heard the sound of another arrow flying quickly, and then, with a "poof", there was an extra feather arrow on the man's chest, and his body was tilted and hung on the railing of the wooden building, and he died a miserable death.

But fortunately, in the silent Huaxiong tent, someone had already heard this unusual shout, Zhao Yue was one of them, he closed his eyes in the tent to recuperate, and suddenly heard the shout, his pores opened instantly, and goosebumps rose all over his body. After confirming that he had heard correctly, he immediately jumped out of bed, frowned, desperately woke up Cao Ping, and then broke out of the tent.

He came out with other soldiers in the tent who were not completely asleep, and of course, this was only a small fraction of the twenty-thousand.

Sun Jian, who was on standby outside the camp, saw that someone in the camp had already reacted and knew that the time had come.

He stood up decisively, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at Huaxiong's camp, looked excited, and shouted loudly: "Jiangdong boy, follow me into the camp and capture Huaxiong alive!" ”

"Oh!"

In an instant, thousands of black shadows got up, grabbed their blades, and rushed forward. Under the moonlight, the cold light of the weapon is not inferior to the fluorescence of snow.

This was followed by rockets that lit up the night sky.

It was Han Dang who was commanding his soldiers who were good at shooting ten thousand arrows at once, and shot the feather arrows that were fueled and ignited into Huaxiong's camp in groups.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The sound of arrows leaving the bowstring continued, and the flames raged and swept through the winter night. The sun was strong during the day, and the ice and snow on the big tent had long since dried, and at night it was blown by the cold wind, and the tent cloth was already very dry. At this time, the white tent cloth was hit by an arrow, and it instantly became a prison of flames, and the raging fire mercilessly devoured the Han soldiers who were still asleep.

Thankfully, it was winter, and although the flames were deadly, they were affected by the climate and the speed of their spread was limited.

In the camp, there was the sound of coughing everywhere.

"Ahem!"

Although many soldiers had woken up, they were also choked by the smoke, and Cao Ping was one of them. After he was woken up by Zhao Yue, he got dressed and went out of the tent, and he couldn't find Zhao Yue's figure for a long time, at this time Sun Jian's soldiers had already entered the camp, and he couldn't take care of much, so he could only grab weapons and fight with them.

As for Zhao Yue, in the panic, he didn't go anywhere else, he was worried about the situation of the military marquis Liu Zheng, so after waking up Cao Ping, he rushed all the way to the military marquis's big tent. But in the distance, he saw four or five rockets shot at it, and immediately after, the big tent where Liu Zheng lived began to burn violently.

"Brother Liu! Where are you? Zhao Yue shouted like crazy, and there was already a sea of fire around him, and the enemy troops began to flock up.

Zhao Yue didn't care much, took the hands of the soldiers who died in battle, picked up a sword, and killed the enemy while looking for Liu Zheng's whereabouts. Liu Zheng's injuries have not healed, even if he fights head-on, he may suffer losses, let alone be suddenly attacked at this time. Zhao Yue was really worried about him, and there couldn't help but have a few more poor souls under the sword in his hand.

Several Jiangdong soldiers saw Zhao Yue's figure tossing and turning in the flames, and they were a little afraid in their hearts, and hurriedly called out to their companions: "There is one here who can fight, unlike ordinary soldiers, come on!" ”

Hearing the shout, the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers thought that they had discovered the enemy's general, so they gathered around, wanting to make great achievements and get Sun Jian's appreciation.

Zhao Yue gritted his teeth and screamed towards the sky that he had never felt before: "Tongtong, get out of the way for me, and those who stand in my way will die!" ”

When those Jiangdong soldiers heard this angry shout, they didn't look like a well-mannered young man should come out, and they were a little more afraid in their hearts, and they didn't dare to step forward easily.

Zhao Yue's martial arts are not outstanding, but he has something in mind and is willing to work hard, so for a while, he was invincible.

The people around him didn't dare to step forward, or retreated slightly. He looked around vigilantly, and found that there was a charred wooden cart to the left of the flame not far away, which was originally used to transport heavy grain and grass, and there was a blackened flag under the wooden cart, and the word "Hua" was faintly visible on it.

He rushed forward, pulled out the broken military flag, and covered the wooden cart with a "whew", extinguishing the flames burning on the car, and then, Zhao Yue jumped on top of the wooden cart, condescendingly, looking into the distance in the sea of fire, looking around for Liu Zheng's whereabouts.

"Boom!"

Behind him, there was a loud bang.

The big tent of the military marquis Liu Zheng was burned down and fell heavily to the ground.
