readx; It was a late summer night, the sky was covered with dark purple clouds, but there was no rain, the ground was damp, but not muddy, 20,000 cavalry were marching silently, only occasionally hearing the faint clanging of stirrups against horizontal knives, not allowed to talk to each other, not allowed to leave the team for a small break, try not to let the horses neigh, the more secret the march is the more hope of victory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

From Huancuiyu to Xingyang County about 30 miles away, the Anxi cavalry took the small road, almost marched in the low hills, from time to time through a large rice field, they had to lead the horse through the ridge, the black buildings in the distance are villages, from time to time there are dogs rushing out of the village to bark at them, the Anxi army did not stay in the village, but accelerated the speed, the lights turned on, and then went out, like an iron dragon like 20,000 cavalry made the villagers who quietly peeked feel a burst of fear.

When they were still ten miles away from Xingyang County, they entered a hilly area, which was densely wooded and extremely conducive to concealment, when the cavalry of the Anxi Army slowly stopped marching.

Li Guangbi urged the horse to rush up a hill, from here you can see the Xingyang granary in the distance, only to see dozens of huge black buildings standing on the plain in the distance, as if dozens of giant soldiers lined up in the dark to stand by, Xingyang granary is about three miles away from the county seat, surrounded by a tall rough wooden fence, it is said that there are two thousand garrisons in the granary, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Luoyang.

Li Guangbi's eyes moved to the west of the granary, which was the goal of his trip, Ji Guangchen's military camp, the barracks were dark, only two lanterns were hung at the gate of the camp, and three tall guard towers could be seen, Li Guangbi quickly estimated, at this time the clouds had dissipated, a clear moon illuminated the earth, the weather was very unfavorable to him, he could see the camp seven miles away, then on the other hand, even if he could use the terrain to cover, but his 20,000 cavalry would still be found by the guard tower three miles away, three miles away, If Ji Guangchen's army was well-trained, they could organize a hasty resistance.

Although this army came from the Guanzhong Army, and its combat effectiveness was very average, Li Guangbi still didn't dare to be careless, at this time, Li Guangbi saw several black shadows rushing from the direction of the barracks, and he knew that this should be the scouts he sent, so he immediately ordered: "Bring the scouts here." ”

In a moment, the scout team was being brought to Li Guangbi's side, and he bowed and saluted, "See the general!" ”

"Say it! What's going on on with the other party? ”

"Returning to the general, the three of them sneaked fifty steps to the opponent's military camp, and found that there was no defense in the military camp, and the enemy army did not realize that we were coming."

"How many watchtowers are there? Also, do the other side have soldiers patrolling near the barracks? ”

"General Hui, there are six guard towers, one at the north gate and one at the south gate, and one at each of the four corners, and as for the soldiers on patrol, they have also been discovered, but they mainly patrol the northern line, and rarely come to the south."

Li Guangbi nodded, his sharp eyes looked at the three tall guard towers in the dark night, under the bright moonlight, the three guard towers could be seen clearly, as he was worried, the three guard towers would become the key to the success or failure of his mission, he groaned, and slowly ordered: "Flying Wing Battalion!" ”

The Flying Wing Battalion is also one of the scout battalions, and there are three special military battalions under Li Guangbi's tent, with a total of 1,500 people, namely the Scout, Hutu, and Flying Wing, of which 500 are in the scout battalion, 800 in the Hutu Battalion, and 200 in the Flying Wing Battalion.

The scout battalion is mainly to collect intelligence, explore the surrounding situation, and have a wide range of application, while the tiger and flying wings are two special troops, the tiger battalion is actually the Modao army, all of them are burly and powerful, they are mainly heavy armor charges, and when they encounter the enemy's dense formation, they will line up to attack and tear apart the enemy's position.

The Flying Wing Battalion is refined from the scout battalion, which can be said to be the elite of the scouts, they are as light as a swallow, fast, good at lurking, and the arrows are extremely accurate, mainly used for assassination and sneak attacks, Li Guangbi wants to take down the three guard towers, that is, to rely on the Flying Wing Army to complete the task.

Li Guangbi gave the order, and immediately a black-clad infantry force of about thirty men rushed silently into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

．．．．．．．．． Ji Guangchen is a very decent commander, it can be seen from his camp, camp fences, trenches, sentry posts, suspension bridges, etc., everything is very standard, the camp has a total of six guard towers, just as the scouts found, one at each of the four corners, one for each of the two camp gates, the guard tower is four feet high, with a huge wooden frame to ride, there are two soldiers on a guard tower, three shifts a day, day and night.

The sentry is mainly based on the eye, the distance between the eyes can be up to ten miles away during the day, and if the moonlight is good at night, there is also a distance of three miles, which is the most advantageous auxiliary for the defense of the camp, so it is not so easy to sneak attack the camp in the enemy's sleep, unless the sky is beautiful, there is no moonlight and starlight, or heavy rain and snow, otherwise the sneak attack army will not escape the alarm of the sentry post in the first place.

Just as the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, to deal with the sentry tower, you can only use a special army to deal with it, such as the flying wing battalion sent by Li Guangbi, thirty people are divided into three fires, each to deal with a sentry tower, Ji Guangchen's camp is about three miles wide from east to west, so the distance between the three sentry towers is about one mile, and the three flying wing squads of the Anxi Army are from the south, east and west directions to the sentry tower, these three squads, any team is discovered, will trigger the alarm of the military camp.

Of the three watchtowers, the middle tower is the most difficult to contain, so not only do they have two tower sentinels, but there are also ten soldiers guarding the gate at the camp gate, and if any one of them finds it, it will fall short.

People should be fine and not too many, there are only five flying wing soldiers who deal with the south gate sentry tower, these five people are the most elite in the flying wing battalion, and the person at the head is the captain of the flying wing battalion, named Zhu Qian, who was also born in the first scout battalion in Anxi, his crossbow arrows can be described as a hundred shots, and he can basically kill with one arrow a hundred steps away, and he almost caught up with the archery skills of their commander Li Qing'an.

The five wingmen slowly approached the camp like ghosts, and they were very careful, using all the terrain at their disposal, and they rushed quickly from a rain-soaked drainage ditch to the camp, about five feet deep and three feet wide, leading to the trench outside the camp, and it was this trench that allowed the five wingers to quickly approach the camp, and the five stopped when they were about sixty paces away from the camp, and if they went any further, they would probably be discovered.

Zhu Qian squinted his eyes and observed the soldiers behind the sentry and the camp gate, in fact, he just observed while running, he just found a small special place, it seems that there are no soldiers behind the camp gate, he looked carefully for a while, and finally saw the clue, it was not that there were no ten soldiers, but that the soldiers guarding the camp gate were all curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

It's no wonder that even their commander didn't realize the danger was coming, let alone these soldiers, but this is never possible in the Anxi Army, where if a soldier sleeps while on duty, he will face the death penalty.

Zhu Qian observed for a while, only to see two soldiers get up to go to Xiaoxie, and soon came back to sleep, the camp gate was quiet, and there was no figure in sight.

Then his eyes turned to the watchtower, on which were two people, one seemed to be asleep, with his hands on the edge of the wood, while the other was lazily leaning against the pillar, and above him was an iron bell, which he would ring to call the police when he found that he was in danger.

At this time, Zhu Qian was a little embarrassed, there was no problem in killing one of them from a distance, the key was the one who was asleep, what if he was awakened?

Zhu Qian pondered for a moment in his heart, and a bold thought came up in his heart, and he whispered to a skilled archery subordinate: "Fifty steps, shoot through his throat, it may be done?" ”

The subordinate nodded. Okay, you shoot first, and I'll solve the second person. ”

The two of them picked up the crossbow arrows, their crossbow arrows are specially made, small in size, portable and easy to carry, but its strength is very strong, it can shoot a five-inch long iron crossbow arrow two hundred and fifty steps away, and the crossbow arrow is also very special, only half the length of the normal crossbow arrow, the arrow has a bleeding groove, and the groove is coated with poison, this poison comes from Tianzhu, only a little white powder into the human body, can be fatal in an instant.

At this time, a little starlight came from the east and west sides almost at the same time, which means that both sides have succeeded, only the sentry tower at the south gate is left, the crossbow arrows of the two are slowly aimed at the soldiers on the sentry tower, 'click' a soft sound, a poisoned arrow shot at the sentry like lightning, the sentry just yawned, and before he reacted, the poison arrow 'poof! The ground shot into his throat, he choked his throat in pain, wanted to shout but couldn't, his hand grabbed in the air, and he slowly collapsed, while Zhu Qian's crossbow arrow was motionless, he was like a statue, squinting at the exposed hand, while his two companions silently rushed up, if the sleeping sentry did not wake up, the companion would climb the guard tower and kill him.

Sure enough, as Zhu Qian expected, I saw the sleeping sentry stand up in a panic, his hand reached out to the hammer, and in an instant, Zhu Qian's crossbow arrow shot out, at this time, the sentry was flustered, the hammer took off several times, he just held it, a poisonous arrow was shot, an arrow pierced his left neck, the hammer took off, he covered his neck, shouted two words, and fell on the wooden frame, at this time, two winged soldiers ran across the trench, they were more agile than apes, and climbed the watchtower in three strokes, replacing the two dead bodies, Became the new sentinel.

Succeeded, Zhu Qian took out another arrow from the leather bag he carried, this time he changed to a bow, wound the arrow, and then lurked in the ditch, and the other two soldiers surrounded him with black cloth, 'Click! With a soft sound, a flame appeared in his hand, lit the lead, and the lead "Whoa! Laugh at! The ground burned, Zhu Qian stretched his bow and shot at the sky, only to see a red fire light across the sky, no sound, but like a meteor across the beautiful night sky.

Li Guangbi had been watching the situation in the camp, he saw a bright light across the sky, this was a sign of success, the corners of Li Guangbi's mouth showed a hint of a smile, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Go!" ”

The four hooves of the war horses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and the swords of the 20,000 cavalry were unsheathed, and the spears were rushing, like a mighty torrent, and the murderous spirit was monstrous, rushing towards the large camp several miles away.
