In the middle of the night on the third day after Tana's departure from the army, the waning moon, which was getting smaller and smaller, could only cast a pitiful light, and it was impossible to see it from a few feet away.

At this time, the Naturalization City was still the same as before, only the torches were burning every few zhang on the city wall. Other than that, there was basically no light or sound in the city, as if the entire city had fallen asleep.

Then, on the field of the middle school in the city, the three field regiments were all assembled, and the faces of each soldier were almost excited. They were all armed, and even a regiment of ironclad heavy cavalry was already standing in the heavy iron armor.

The war horses beside them, with thick cotton cloth wrapped around their four feet, and a hood on their heads, could not make a sound, and occasionally the war horses sounded the sound of snorting, but they could not be heard clearly from a distance.

Their regiment commanders all stood at the front of their respective phalanxes, with solemn expressions, looking at the deputy brigade commander Lakshen, brigade commander Hu Kuan, and the chief commander Hu Guang on the point general's platform.

On the right side of the three phalanxes, there is also a small phalanx, where all the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are gathered, and their battalion commander Cheng Mouse, who has already walked to the front of the point general platform, is receiving the order of the brigade commander: "Order your reconnaissance battalion to pull out the Jianyu sentry outside the camp within a quarter of an hour, and not to alarm the Jianyu battalion." ”

"Yes, Brigadier." Cheng Mouse raised his hand and saluted, without hesitation, turned back to his queue, and with just a wave, he led his soldiers to set off.

Hu Guang watched all this quietly, without worrying in his heart. The plan for this campaign had been discussed in detail in advance, and the long-term stalemate also made Jian Yu relax his vigilance. As for the activity rules of the Jianyu Sentinel Cavalry, it has long been clearly understood. There are no major changes, and the action should go smoothly.

The eldest brother is the highest commander of the field army, and the command of this campaign is naturally to let the eldest brother give orders. Just watch for yourself. Plan well in advance, and do it yourself, then you will probably be busy to death!

No one paid attention to the departure of the reconnaissance battalion, because Hu Kuan ordered Hu Hansan's general again, asked him to stride out of the queue and stride to the front of the general platform to listen to the order.

"Your artillery company. It is necessary to use the fastest speed and with no conscience to bombard the camp of the prisoners. There is only one goal, to launch the explosives bag carried into the camp in the shortest possible time, and to cover the camp as much as possible. ”

Hearing Hu Kuan's order, Hu Hansan raised his hand and saluted, and replied generously and forcefully: "Yes, brigade commander, our artillery company guarantees to complete the task." ”

For this. He had faith, and he didn't answer casually. This confidence comes from the training of the artillery company in peacetime, or it can be said that it comes from the strict requirements of the commander on the artillery company in peacetime.

However, the unconscionable cannon is easy to carry, the caliber is huge, and the operation is simple, and these characteristics provide the officers and men of the artillery company with a good foundation for accomplishing this goal.

When Hu Hansan turned around and walked back to his queue to stand. Hu Kuan raised his voice slightly, and loudly ordered the whole army: "Wait for the shelling to end." All the soldiers are free to attack the Jianyu in a company until the Jianyu is completely destroyed. ”

In the dark, even a well-trained field army cannot exercise effective command, and can only give them a goal.

After Hu Kuan finished speaking. Turning to look at Hu Guang, he raised his hand meticulously and saluted: "Report to the chief, the task is completed, please speak!" ”

As a big brother, he is serious. Be meticulous in public and assert your authority. Hu Guang nodded with thought in his heart, and after raising his hand to return the salute, he strode to the front of the stage, slowly glanced at the soldiers on the school field, and a low voice sounded on the school field: "I have only one request, Jianyu will do all the evil, kill them all!" ”

The soldiers of the Heavenly Army were excited, and finally wanted to teach the evil spirits outside, if it wasn't for the prior order, they couldn't wait to answer loudly: "Promise to complete the task, kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Hu Kuan saw that the second brother just said such a short sentence and retreated, he estimated the time slightly, turned his head to look at the south gate of the city, and did not see any movement coming, so he raised his right hand, waved it vigorously, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

In all the streets of the city, there were soldiers of the local army standing guard. When they saw the officers and men of the field army coming out of the school field and driving along the street towards the south gate, they stood upright, solemnly raised their hands and saluted, and secretly prayed in their hearts that they hoped that the fraternal troops would return from a great victory.

Only after the field troops had passed by did they put down their saluting hands and looked at the backs of the field troops, secretly envious in their hearts, and only hated that they belonged to the local troops, and that they could not go out to kill Jianjun and make military merits.

The people in the houses in the city all faintly felt that something unusual. Under normal circumstances, there would be no soldiers of the Heavenly Army standing guard on the streets, at most there would be patrols.

Many people did not fall asleep at all, and listened curiously to the movement outside. But only the houses on both sides of the street could hear the slightest movement.

Mao Caigui lowered his voice and said to his companion who was also lying by the window: "This must be a sneak attack on Jianyu, and you will definitely be able to win!" ”

There are two possibilities for gathering troops and setting off in the middle of the night, one is to sneak up on the enemy, and the second is to escape at night. However, the people in the city never thought that calling the Heavenly Army would be the second type.

Mao Caigui's companion looked excited, nodded and responded: "Yes, the Heavenly Army will definitely win!" ”

Against the invincible Liaodong Jianyu in the world, they are still full of confidence in the Heavenly Army. In the past, they would never have believed that there was an army that would have given them such confidence.

Another companion in the house, after hearing their conversation, said with some emotion: "I wish I would faint now, no, go to sleep, and when my eyes are opened again, I will see that the Heavenly Army has returned victorious." ”

Mao Caigui listened to it and felt deeply, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep this night. Although I know that the heavenly army can win, but the torment of waiting for the result of victory is not easy to endure!

In this naturalized city, Mao Caigui felt the vigor for the first time, the first time he felt the kings, no, the generals at all levels were amiable to the ordinary people, and there was no official arrogance.

There is also the leader of the Heavenly Army, after these days of observation and contact, he can't believe that there is no trace of lofty and unattainable majesty, as if he is his own brother, it is really amazing!

Speaking of which, Mao Caigui is one of the vested interests of the Ming Dynasty, but at the moment, he is a little shaken, is it better to go back or stay in this place that makes people feel comfortable and vibrant?

The person who made him entangled had already moved to the city head of the south gate at this time, looking at the soldiers of the Heavenly Army who had disappeared into the night, Hu Guang secretly blessed the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to suffer as few casualties as possible.

Yes, it's just a little less casualty. Because there is no abnormality outside the city until this time, victory is certain!
