(Thank you very much, see through the way, shrek116 two tips, special thanks shrek116 10,000 tips, thank you for your generous support!) )

In the morning of late summer and early autumn, the hilly and mountainous areas of eastern Hubei are shrouded in heavy fog, and the sky and the earth are white. Five steps away, you can't see the figure on the other side.

In this thick white fog, there is a team quietly marching, horses wrapped in hooves, people ranked, the team is marching quietly, in order to prevent the fog from scattering, the people behind grab the clothes of the people in front, everyone is strung together.

At the front of this team, a pair of wide-eyed bosses searched carefully.

He is a guide, named Shi Dabiao, Muling Pass inspection, in this bandit into the Kou, he finally lost his inspection of the official hall Yamen, with the only remaining few archers in the mountains and forests, yesterday he heard that there were people and horses fighting in Tuchenggang, and hurriedly came with the only remaining brothers, and unexpectedly met his cousin Wang Goudan.

Wang Goudan was sent to Hutou Fort to report the news before, and when he encountered the battle of Hutou Fort, he stayed to participate in the battle, won a good record with an amazing slingshot, and was personally recruited by Liu Jun to be his personal guard. When the nephew and uncle saw each other, they sighed. Wang Goudan introduced Shi Dabiao to Liu Jun, and Liu Jun arranged Shi Dabiao and his subordinates into his team.

Now Shi Dabiao, with his familiarity with Huang An, is acting as a guide for Liu Jun.

The fog is too big, and when you walk in the fog, the fog has condensed fine water droplets on your body, wetting your clothes.

Next to Shi Dabiao is Wang Ergou, behind him is Feng Sheng, the captain of the night not to collect, and later is Liu Jun and Mei Qing. As the commanders of the two armies, they went to the front of the ranks at this time.

Mei Tingyou was quite worried about his young lady's audacious behavior, and was even more dissatisfied with Liu Jun's connivance. But the young lady didn't listen to his dissuasion at all, and he could only follow in a hurry.

Finally, Mei Ting couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and whispered to Liu Jun and Mei Qing in the back, "Let's go to Huang'an City like this, are we taking a risk?" Didn't the Shi inspection say that there were thousands of thieves besieging the city under Huang'an City? The two of us together are only about 600 people, so wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger in this way? ”

Hearing the general's concern, Mei Qing, who was carrying Liu Jun to give her the flying dragon gun on her back, replied in a low voice, "There are indeed thousands of thieves under Huang'an City, but Shi Xunjian also said that the thieves have not been in a hurry to attack the city in the past two days, they are just besieging but not attacking, they are sending people everywhere to attack the nearby village market, and they are arresting people everywhere and making siege equipment for them. Besides, now that the fog is so big, it is difficult to see the five fingers when we stretch out our hands, as long as we are careful, we can go to the city of Huang'an without the thieves knowing. ”

"If you want to save Huang Ancheng, we people will definitely not be able to fight outside the city, even if we can repel the thieves, it will definitely be a lose-lose result. It was just this fog that we quietly touched the city, entered the city, and defended the city in the city, so that we had a chance to win. ”

"I still think it's too risky." Mei Tinghe couldn't help but say.

"There is no way to fight a war without taking risks, but this time we have small risks and big gains. If we don't take this risk, it is estimated that the thieves' equipment is almost ready, and the next thing is to attack the city, with the few men and horses in the city, it will be difficult to defend. ”

Unless Liu Jun dies and doesn't save him, otherwise, he is unwilling to let Liu Jun and his hundreds of brothers run to the city with real knives and guns to fight the bandits.

"Even if we enter the city, we are still outnumbered."

"With a city to rely on, we can fight against ten times as many thieves. We have more than 600 people here, and if you add the defenders in Huang'an City, there are at least 1,000. But there are tens of thousands of thieves, no. Therefore, as long as we can enter the city, we can hold on until reinforcements arrive. ”

Liu Jun said very confidently, in Liu Jun's opinion, this is a very good opportunity, the fog is big, so they can easily touch the city if they are careful, and then enter the city. As long as you enter the city, defend the city, and fight against thousands of bandits, there will not be much problem at all. The risk is small, but the return is high, so it would be a pity not to seize such an opportunity.

What's more, Mei Qing also strongly advocated to rescue Huang An, and Liu Jun couldn't let her go alone.

Having just won the battle of Tiger Head Fort, Liu Jun came to aid Huang An so hard, and he also wanted to go further. Now he is also the general practitioner of the eighth grade, and he is considered a person in the court, and he has made such a great contribution this time, of course he hopes to be promoted to another official. The most important thing is to want to be bigger, have a bigger territory, and have more people in your hands.

"My lord, the county seat of Huang'an is just ahead. I came to inquire before, and the thieves have set up camps outside the four gates of Huang'an City, but they are two miles outside the city gates, as long as we are quiet, we can not alarm the thieves to touch the city. Shi Dabiao lost his inspection department, so he is now actively leading the way for Liu Jun in order to redeem his merits.

Liu Jun nodded, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Give orders to the back, don't speak." ”

The fog is still very thick, and it is actually already dawn at this time, but in the thick fog, you can't see your fingers, and you can only rely on the familiar Shi Dabiao to lead the way in front and touch it little by little.

If you take the wrong route, you might just hit the thief camp.

"Brother Shi, you won't lead the wrong way, right?"

"No, my wife is from Huang'an County, and I have to come over to give a festival gift to my father-in-law every three festivals, how can I be wrong. I can walk to Huang'an City with my eyes closed, let alone just a little fog. ”

Although the fog is thick, the fog is not as thick as the night, no matter how thick the fog is, at least you can see it clearly under your feet, as long as you are familiar with the road of Huang'an, you will never go wrong.

However, marching in the fog, for insurance, you can't use firearms, and the fire rope is a little bit, which is easy to expose. Although Liu Jun's firecrackers were all loaded with gunpowder buckshot, the fireropes were extinguished. Everyone was carrying knives and guns, and under the thick fog, long-range bows and arrows were almost useless, and by the time they spotted the thief, they were already a few steps away.

Fortunately, the thing he was worried about did not happen, Shi Dabiao was really familiar with the road, he came here two days ago to investigate, and he was also very clear about the four camps of the thieves, he took Liu Jun and others to go around left and right, and successfully avoided the thieves' camp, and met a few sentry posts on the road on the road, which were also quietly solved by them.

In the thick fog, a tall Huang'an city wall suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's here!"

Liu Jun stopped Shi Dabiao, who was about to call the door.

"Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" Mei Qing asked.

"We came suddenly, and the city didn't know about it, what if the city refused to open the door?"

"It can't be." Mei Qingdao, but Liu Jun didn't fight with him for this, "It's better to be safe, let's line up under the city first, and then go to call the door." In this way, if there is really some accident, even if the thief knows, we don't have to ride a horse to get in and out. ”

The nine-headed bird and the Mei family began to form a team under the city, and soon, they set up an array, and by this time, they had not been found in the city.

Shi Dabiao personally went to call the city, and the city was alarmed, and it happened that one of the head catchers guarding the city was Shi Dabiao's brother-in-law. However, he didn't dare to open the door, and immediately sent someone to invite the magistrate and Mr. Lian.

Wang Zhixian, Liu Lian and Zhu Chong heard the news that the Tiger Head Fort Nine-headed Bird Tuanlian and Shen Zhuang Meijia's Ding team came to the rescue, and they were all pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly rushed to the city to meet them.

At this time, the fog finally dissipated a little, Zhu Pet stood at the head of the city and watched carefully, and recognized at a glance that among the few people standing in front, one of them was Liu Jun.

"That's right, it's Liu Jun, the head of the Macheng regiment, last time I fought bandits with him in Qiting, it was him."

Wang Zhixian's heart finally let go, and he said happily, "Open the city gate quickly." ”

The city gate creaked open, the drawbridge was lowered, Liu Jun waved his hand and led his team in.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lord Liu to come to help in person, this county is really grateful." Wang Zhixian, Liu Lian and Zhu Qianhu stood inside the city gate, greeted with a smile on their faces.

"Watching and helping each other, this is the way it should be." Liu Jun also replied with a smile.

At the same time, the thief camp in the north of the city, here is the middle military camp of the bandits.

"Report!"

A bandit reported loudly, "Report to the king, I just discovered that an official army has taken advantage of the fog to enter Huang'an City." ”

"What!" Lin Sizu, the little overlord of the bandits, was furious when he heard the report, he besieged the city on all sides, set up a battalion outside each of the four gates of Huang'an, and blocked the water around Huang'an City, but now there are officers and soldiers who have entered Huang'an City under their noses to reinforce, are these subordinates blind?

"How many reinforcements have entered the city, and under what banner?"

"There were about six or seven hundred of them, and one of their banners was a strange bird on it."

"What strange bird?"

"That strange bird has nine heads."

The little overlord Lin Sizu immediately remembered a team, the nine-headed bird group training in Tiger Head Fort, and their banner was the nine-headed bird. It's just that how did they get here, the old brother Drill Sky Leopard Ma Shoucheng personally led a battalion of men and horses to attack the tiger head fort. Could it be that the Tiger Head Fort has been breached, and the nine-headed bird has escaped and run to Huang'an?

But this doesn't make sense, if they retreat from Hutou Fort, how can they still have the courage to come to Huang'an, isn't this self-defeating?

"How's the siege machine going?"

"It's almost time to catch up."

Lin Sizu said, "Since the siege equipment has been prepared, let's attack the city." ”

"When will you attack?"

"It's now." Lin Sizu looked up at the still thick fog outside the tent, and said with a smile, "It was the thief who reminded me that such a fog is the best cover for attacking the city. ”

When the fog is large, the view is limited, although the fog has an effect on both sides. But for the besieging side, it is obviously more advantageous. The defenders of the city need more vision, especially the defense of the city with bows and arrows, and the dense fog will greatly affect the defenders.

Although Lin Sizu is known as the little overlord, he is more cautious than drilling the mountain leopard to use soldiers. It had been a few days since he arrived at the city of Huang'an, but he had not launched a single siege. He just surrounded Huang An, and then sent soldiers and horses to loot everywhere, collecting food on the one hand, and plundering gold and silver on the other, and at the same time searching for young and strong people, looking for craftsmen, and after bringing those people back to the camp under the city, he began to cut down trees to build various siege equipment.

His original plan was to wait for the siege equipment to be built, and directly capture Huang'an County.

Now there are hundreds of more reinforcements in the city, but it has not shaken the plan of the little overlord.

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will attack!"
