Xi Changzhen failed to get news of Li Zhen. My heart was full of doubts. The more he couldn't think of the reason, the more suspicious he became, and he began to intensify his efforts to probe Li Zhen's military camp. Every hour, a scout who had been sent out came back to report the news. A continuous stream of messages came back, but without exception they were useless messages.

After nightfall, Li Zhen was in the barracks.

Li Zhen looked at Smith and asked, "Have you dealt with the scouts sent by Xi Changzhen?" ”

"Well, it's done."

Smith nodded, his expression serious.

Tonight's wind direction is blowing towards Zhennan Pass, and a hundred soldiers will enter Zhennan Pass in hot air balloons. This small-scale landing was to let some soldiers insert themselves into the heart of Zhennan Pass, making it difficult for Xi Changzhen to be stable. Soon, ten huge hot air balloons were moved, each with ten soldiers.

"Ignition!"

Li Zhen gave an order and immediately ignited the fire.

The fire grew stronger and stronger, and then slowly rose. The soldiers tied it with ropes to prevent the balloon from flying away, and then one by one the soldiers entered the balloon. Li Zhen stood below, saluting, and watching the soldiers in the hot air balloon. The breeze was blowing, and the hot air balloon took the soldiers and walked in the direction of Zhennanguan.

……

It was already late at night, but Xi Changzhen still didn't sleep, because there had been no news for four hours. According to Xi Changzhen's regulations, the news transmitted during the day was that a soldier must come back to report it every hour, continuously and uninterruptedly, and keep the news unimpeded. In the evening, a soldier would come back every two hours to give a report.

Right now, it's been four hours, but not a single soldier has come back, which makes Xi Changzhen's heart frizzy.

Xi Changzhen wore a brocade robe and came to the city tower.

He instructed the soldiers to call over a general and instructed: "You take ten scouts and go to the Qing army camp to inquire about the situation." Be careful, I suspect that Li Zhen also sent scouts to intercept us, so that our scouts could not come back to report the news. ”

The general nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

Xi Changzhen leaned against the city wall and looked in the direction of Li Zhen's military camp. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and then he reached out and rubbed it vigorously, with a surprised expression on his face.

Xi Changzhen leaned on the city tower, looked at the general who had just come downstairs, and shouted: "Bring more soldiers, find out what the fire is in the sky ahead, and find out the reason." ”

The general nodded in response, and immediately dispatched the soldiers.

At this time, Xi Changzhen had clearly seen that there were ten points of light in the sky, and these points of light were moving, moving in the direction of Zhennan Pass. As the distance narrowed, the firelight became stronger and stronger, and Xi Changzhen gradually saw the situation of the light point clearly.

This is clearly a big ball!

Inside the ball, there were soldiers.

What's the situation?

Xi Changzhen was confused, he had never seen a hot air balloon. When he saw the soldiers in the hot air balloon, he was horrified and called on the soldiers to be on guard. The soldiers of Zhennan Pass were all on alert, looking at the hot ball in the sky. At this moment, among the ten hot air balloons in the sky, all the soldiers are holding grenades, ready to carry out a round of bombardment, disrupt Zhennan Pass, and strive to enter Zhennan Pass smoothly.

"Throw it at me!"

The company commander who led the team gave the order, took the lead in lighting a bundle of grenades in his hand, and threw it towards Zhennan Pass.

In the night, the fuses burned, shining with dazzling light.

In the blink of an eye, the grenade landed on the tower.

"Boom !!"

There was an earth-shattering bang, and a bright light erupted on the castle tower.

Although the power of the grenade could not blow up the castle tower, at least the soldiers near the grenade explosion site were killed or stunned. In particular, the grenades continued to fall like rain, and the sound of explosions one after another made the soldiers defending the city on the tower tremble, and they all hid.

Xi Changzhen also hid, he looked at the city tower that had become a sea of fire, and looked at the hot air balloon in the sky that had floated into the level, and his heart was cold.

When did Li Zhen still have such an army?

The hot air balloon floated into the pass, and Zhennan Pass was never bombed again.

It's not that the soldiers in the hot air balloon don't want to bomb Zhennan Pass, but because the hot air balloon is floating in the air, the time to stay over Zhennan Pass is very short, and there is not much time to drop grenades on the soldiers. When the hot air balloon entered the checkpoint, the leading company commander looked down at the situation in the checkpoint and found that there were still barracks in the checkpoint.

The soldiers in the barracks were awakened.

The company commander sneered in his heart and ordered another bombardment with grenades.

A round of grenades fell and bombarded Xi Changzhen's camp. After the successive explosions stopped, the ten hot air balloons moved away from Zhennan Pass. The soldiers in the hot air balloon did not dare to stop near Zhennan Pass, because they were close to Zhennan Pass, it was easy to be besieged, especially when the number was small, it was inevitable to lose, so they simply chose to continue to go deeper.

Chen Zhengshi climbed the city tower, looked at Xi Changzhen with a dusty face, with an eager expression, and said loudly: "My lord, the Zhennan army has suffered six hundred casualties. ”

"Six hundred, are you sure?"

Xi Changzhen looked angry and said, "What's the matter? ”

For Xi Changzhen, the Zhennan Army was the most elite army under his command, and now it has lost 600 people, which makes Xi Changzhen feel great pain. In particular, the number of Zhennan Army was only 3,000, and 600 people were killed and wounded, and the loss was one-fifth, which made Xi Changzhen's flesh hurt. He beat his chest in anger and said loudly: "Search for Ben general, and you must find out the enemy troops who have entered the level." When Ben catches them, he wants them to pay with blood. ”

At this moment, Xi Changzhen is already an angry tiger.

Chen Zhengshi went to carry out the order, and the soldiers who entered the Zhennan Pass with the help of a hot air balloon began to land slowly. They were far away from Zhennan Pass, at least thirty miles away, and they held on until the hot air balloon could no longer support it, and then began to land slowly. Because the landing place was all mountains and forests, when it fell, it took a lot of effort for a hundred soldiers to land.

The company commander who led the team immediately formed the team, he looked at the soldiers under his command, and ordered in a deep voice: "Hide all the hot air balloons, we will leave Zhennanguan in the future, and we still need this thing." ”

The soldiers sprang into action and hid the hot air balloons one by one.

After solving the problem of the hot air balloon, the company commander ordered: "According to the previous personnel arrangement of each hot air balloon, ten teams approached Zhennanguan from different directions to investigate the situation in Zhennanguan. Remember, everyone has a pistol that can kill or kill someone. If you are captured, I suggest that you commit suicide so that you are not caught and tortured. ”

The company commander had a serious expression, raised his head and said loudly, "Got it?" ”

"Understood!"

All the soldiers replied loudly, with a loud and loud voice, which startled the birds of the forest. The company commander raised his hand and gave a military salute to everyone, and said loudly: "I hope that each of us can complete the task assigned by the commander, and I don't want any brothers to be killed." Brothers, this time we are fighting alone, and I hope that you will show the spirit of our army. Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death! ”

"Don't be afraid of hardship, don't be afraid of death!"

More than 100 soldiers shouted in low voices.

The company commander waved his hand and said, "Clean up and follow your respective teams to prepare for action!" As he spoke, the company commander gathered all the leaders together and determined which direction each leader would take, so as not to cause overlap.
