Chapter 290: Siniang defected
After the second watch, a group of armored soldiers silently came out of their respective military tents with the help of the faint light in the camp, and then quietly assembled in the camp, the cavalry kept pacifying their war horses, so that the war horses also kept quiet, silently concentrated, only the sharpness of their swords and guns flashed from time to time in the light, and the camp was busy at a glance.

Gao Huaiyuan stood in a big tent, and there was a big hole in the ground leading to the ground in the tent, the black and swarthy could not see the end, a team of soldiers carried a large basket, and sent barrels of gunpowder into the hole with a hanging basket, and then there was a human voice below, and the gunpowder in the hanging basket was unloaded in a short time, and the empty hanging basket was sent back to the ground.
After all the powder kegs were sent underground, after waiting for a while, a group of mud-covered clay figures climbed from the hole to the ground, and the last one to climb out of the hole was Niu Datong.
If he didn't speak, Gao Huaiyuan would almost not recognize who he was, all the soldiers who came out were basically a virtuous person, and their faces were covered with dirt, just like they were carved out of a mold.
Niu Datong took two thick leads in his hands, carefully coiled them and pulled them out of the hole, looked up and saw Gao Huaiyuan, gritted his teeth, and quickly handed over the lead to a subordinate to hold, and then walked to Gao Huaiyuan and knelt down to report:
Gao Huaiyuan is very satisfied with Niu Datong's performance, the geology here is really not easy to excavate the tunnel, although Niu Datong said simply, but in the past three days, there have been several landslides in their tunnels, suffocating a few soldiers, but Niu Datong has avoided the landslide every time, as if he was born a ground mouse, and soon began to dig again.
During the three days, he knew that Niu Datong almost didn't even make eye to eye, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in the tunnel, and he knew the hardships without thinking about it.
So Gao Huaiyuan asked someone to bring a towel, personally pulled up Niu Datong and wiped his face for him, revealing his somewhat dark skin, and said:
Niu Datong was moved to tears by Gao Huaiyuan, how could a little person like him have been treated like this in the army before, a handsome, personally wiped his face for him, and thanked them so politely, with Gao Huaiyuan's words, he felt that the hard work of the past few days was all worth it, and the exhaustion of his body felt as if he had been swept away, and immediately straightened his chest and gave Gao Huaiyuan a standard military salute, and said loudly:
Gao Huaiyuan patted Niu Datong on the shoulder and said:
A personal soldier immediately took a torch, and after Gao Huaiyuan took it, he reached out and lit two thick leads, and the leads wrapped in gunpowder emitted dazzling sparks, sneering and emitting green smoke, which quickly burned down, and soon disappeared into the underground tunnel.
Gao Huaiyuan didn't stay any longer, turned around and went out of the tent, turned over and rode out of the camp, and the main generals in the army had already put on their helmets and armor at this time, draped neatly, holding all kinds of weapons, and the army began to leave the camp with a tiger's eye, in the night, only the sound of metal from the collision of armor leaves could be heard, and then there was the sound of footsteps made by the soldiers when they moved their feet.
A group of soldiers will be neatly lined up out of the camp, outside the camp gate began to line up, it only took half an hour, all the troops in front of the camp gate to finish the formation, the most advanced is the heavy armor of the Wusheng battalion.
Gao Huaiyuan and the generals were a little nervous looking at the city wall of Chuzhou City entrenched in the night in front of them, this attack on Chuzhou City, tonight can be said to be success or failure in this move, they can't get too close to the city wall, in order not to alarm the Li Quanjun in the city, all actions are strictly ordered not to make noise, just assemble at the camp gate, just wait for the city wall to be blasted by gunpowder.
Although the application of gunpowder in this era has become more and more mature, but the use of gunpowder to bomb the city like this is rarely artificial, except for the original battle of Huzhou City, and this time is different from the blasting of the Battle of Huzhou, this time the ignition of the lead, it must be burned out for three miles, in order to ignite the gunpowder buried at the foot of the city wall, whether the blasting can be carried out smoothly, is still an unknown, if the lead is wet or extinguished by water in the middle of the road, then they will be busy tonight.
Although Gao Huaiyuan's face was calm, he was also a little nervous in his heart, not knowing if he could successfully blow up the city wall for a while, and unconsciously, his left hand holding the reins of the horse unconsciously clenched.
Just as Gao Huaiyuan was lining up to set off, suddenly there was a shout from the camp, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind the formation.
Gao Huaiyuan frowned, and suddenly became a little angry, when is it now, who still dares to mess around, just when he was about to get angry, let people catch the noisy person, and behead him on the spot, a fast horse rushed to his approach.
A group of soldiers immediately stopped the comer, and pointed their swords and spears at the man who came on horseback.
The man on the horse angrily grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted at the guards in front of him.
Gao Huaiyuan immediately heard from his voice that this person was none other than Yang Miaozhen, who had not shown up for the past few days.
It turned out that it was Qiu Tong who screamed just now, and Gao Huaiyuan did not let Qiu Tong participate in this night attack on Chuzhou City, but asked her to keep an eye on Yang Miaozhen, not to let Yang Miaozhen cause any trouble at this time.
But Yang Miaozhen still got into trouble, for this Li Quan's wife, Gao Huaiyuan has always been very polite, he first respects Yang Miaozhen is a heroine among women, and the other is to respect her when she understands the righteousness at the critical time, tonight I don't know which Yang Miaozhen is singing, so he raised his hand to stop the guard, and shouted:
Only then did the guards withdraw the line of defense and let Yang Miaozhen in front of Gao Huaiyuan.
As soon as Yang Miaozhen came to Gao Huaiyuan, he immediately said to Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan looked fixedly, and then the lights at the gate, saw Yang Miaozhen put on a light armor, did not wear a helmet, her long hair was wrapped in a red scarf, and she was riding heroically on horseback, with her famous rainstorm pear spear hanging on the victory hook, and even her horse was also dressed in horse armor, looking like she was going on a journey.
Gao Huaiyuan was a little surprised, although Li Quanquan was unkind, humiliated Yang Miaozhen in public, and shot arrows at her, but after all, the two of them have been husband and wife for more than ten years, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days of grace! And Yang Miaozhen actually wants to go into battle in person today to help the Song army deal with Li Quan, it seems that Li Quan really broke Yang Miaozhen's heart, otherwise, she would not care about this matter, just let Li Quan fend for himself, but she wanted to come to the army to ask for battle and lead the Song army into the city.
Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and rejected Yang Miaozhen's request.
Yang Miaozhen immediately stopped Qiu Tong and several other soldiers who were trying to bring her back to the camp, and pleaded with Gao Huaiyuan again.
Gao Huaiyuan's heart moved, Yang Miaozhen said well, tonight to attack the city, if the city Li Quan's troops resist, even after the city is broken, they will inevitably have to fight a tough battle with Li Quan's army, if Yang Miaozhen enters the city with the army, I believe that many people will give up resistance because of Yang Miaozhen, so that a lot of casualties will be reduced, and many new forces can be maintained for the Song army.
Thinking of this, Gao Huaiyuan no longer refused, nodded slightly:
Qiu Tong was originally a little hostile to Yang Miaozhen, feeling that Yang Miao really existed, and there was a threat to her heart to collect Gao Huaiyuan, this time Yang Miaozhen took advantage of her inattention, and rushed out of the camp neatly, making her face very dull and secretly angry, and now Gao Huaiyuan asked her to maintain Yang Miaozhen's safety, which made her really unhappy.
But now she is also a soldier, and Coach Gao Huaiyuan has an order, how can she not agree, so she had to nod sullenly, and stood behind Yang Miaozhen with a plain wooden gun on horseback.
Yang Miaozhen also took off her pear flower spear from the victory hook, and Tima walked to the front of the Wusheng camp, entered the position, and stood with Hua Yue and the horse.
