Entering the wax moon, it is already the day when the dripping water becomes ice, and the river water has already frozen, and the thickness is feasible. The beginning of the month is the day of the dark moon, the camp fire on the south bank of the water is bright, it does not go out all night, several trenches are dug in front of the camp, the edge of the trench is full of foothills, the drawbridge on the trench is hung high, the soldiers patrolling the camp are constantly coming and going, it can be said that the guard is fierce.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the tent of the Chinese army commander had been extinguished, only the footsteps of the guards sometimes broke the silence, "on fire...", suddenly the camp was on fire, and the soldiers on patrol immediately warned that the camp was most afraid of fire, especially at night, if it was not done well, it would cause chaos and lead to the bombing of the camp.

"What's going on out there?" Hearing the shout, Zhao Ta immediately got up in his clothes, lit a candle and asked loudly.

"Lord Wang, there is a fire in the camp and it is being put out!" Wangfu, who was on duty at night, immediately entered the account and said.

"Where did the fire start?" Zhao asked as he put on his boots.

"Lord Wang, there are fires in several places in the camp, and they are investigating!" Wangfu replied.

"How many fires are there?" Zhao Ta listened to the suspicion of Dou suddenly sheng, the camp is very strict on the use of fire, unauthorized use of fire will be beheaded, if one fire may be the gang, the groom accidentally had an accident and it is reasonable, several places on fire it is strange.

"Yes, Lord Wang, look at the fire not only in the back camp, but also in the front camp!" Wangfu looked at the prince with a question mark on his face, and added.

"It's not good, the enemy is going to attack the camp..."Zhao Ta said sharply to his feet.

"What..."Wang Fu just opened his mouth to ask, only to see the prince suddenly turn to one side, pull away the pistol hanging on his waist, shoot twice at the top of the tent, wave his hand to extinguish the candles on the stove and roll Wang Fu down and under the bed. Before it could be stopped, more than a dozen feathered arrows shot through the tent.

Zhao Ta made several movements from shooting to dodging, as fast as lightning, in one go. It was as if it had been rehearsed beforehand, and Wangfu also reacted at this time. used his body to shield the prince outside, and several gunshots and weapons collided outside the tent at this moment.

"Second Master, Second Master..." The door was slammed open, the tent was illuminated by torches, there was the shouting of Jianxi with the sound of crying, and the sound of a large group of people rushing to run was heard outside, and the gunfire was even more dense, mixed with the sound of shotguns.

"The prince is here!" Wangfu saw it clearly, and then replied loudly.

"The second master has nothing to do, right?" he rushed over and lifted the marching bed as if he was crazy, and looked up and down and said.

"I'm fine, don't howl. Immediately call Gao Pet and Xiao Yu to see me, and the whole army will fight! Zhao Ta pushed away the snot and tears on his face and shouted.

"Ahh Go, didn't you hear the words of the prince? Seeing that Xi came to his senses, the prince was still lying on the ground, and he helped the prince to shout at Shang Hu, who was following him. Although everyone was confused, and they didn't know why the prince tossed the entire army to prepare for war because of a few assassins, he still faithfully carried out the order.

Hearing that the prince was assassinated, Gao Zhong and Xiao Yu immediately rushed over, only to see that the big tent of the Chinese army was tightly surrounded by the soldiers of the Guards Brigade. There was also a group of people who were shooting guns everywhere, running back and forth, as if they were hunting down assassins, but there was something wrong with it. But now they didn't think much about it, and the two walked into the big tent quickly.

"Lord Wang, you're not hurt, are you?" After the two entered the tent, they were relieved to see the prince sitting there in a dignified manner. He asked with concern.

"It's okay!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said, "The two of you immediately ordered three thousand men and horses to quietly leave the camp. Ambush on the left and right flanks respectively, and kill them as soon as they receive the signal! ”

"Yes. Is the Jin army going to attack the camp? Gao Pet asked.

"If I'm right, the Jin Army will be here soon!" Zhao Ta nodded and said.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates just passed by the camp where the fire started, but they only demolished the surrounding camp tents, but did not extinguish the fire, saying that it was the king's order, why is this?" After Xiao Yu received the order, he hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts.

"Why are you so stupid, I really shouldn't let you come back, everyone is stupid!" Zhao Ta glared at Xiao Yu and said, "We will extinguish the fire in a while, and Jin Jun will know that we have been prepared for a long time, will we still come?" If he doesn't come, I didn't frighten them for nothing! ”

"Oh... The subordinates understood, and the people of the Guards Brigade were also acting like they, right? Xiao Yu said suddenly.

"It's good to know the way, you must quietly go out of the camp, there may be Jin Army spies who have infiltrated in the village, and they can't be discovered!" Zhao Ta admonished uneasily, and the two nodded and took the order.

"Lord Wang, the camp has been cleaned up, eight assassins have been killed, two have committed suicide, there is no way to live, from the costume, it is all Jurchen, we have two internal guards who were assassinated by him, the guards sacrificed three people, injured five people, it is a dereliction of duty of subordinates, please punish the prince!" At this time, Zhao Zhong came in and said.

"You can't be blamed for being able to spot lurking guards and assassinate them silently, only the best masters can do it!" Zhao Ta's face was gloomy when he heard this, his internal guards were not all from the Guards Brigade, some of them were masters of recruitment and training after the first sword assassination in Western Xia, and they usually hid in the shadows to protect themselves, specifically dealing with those Jianghu guests, but none of them prevented the assassins, it can be seen that the people sent by the Jurchens are all elites, and they really have invested in themselves.

"Lord Wang, so many of us and the masters of the internal guard have not discovered the assassin, how did you find out?" At this time, Wang Fu voiced his doubts, so many people did not find out, and the prince found and killed the assassin who posed the greatest threat to him.

"It's easy!" Zhao Tan smiled and said, "That assassin thought that no one could find him lurking on the top of the tent, but he just forgot his own shadow, the people outside could not see him, but the people inside could see it, and I also had to thank his companions who set the fire, otherwise I might have been calculated by him!" ”

"Then the prince also concluded that the Jin army was going to attack the camp because of the appearance of the assassin?" Zhao Zhong also asked.

"No, the army has always been strict about the use of fire, a fire may be an accident, but several fires at the same time should be thought about, they do this to cause chaos, so as to take advantage of the fire to rob, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and exposed their intentions, so I concluded that the Jin army will arrive!" Zhao said.

Zhao Ta just finished speaking, the army came to report the assembly, the front camp sounded the alarm, thousands of Jin troops took advantage of the night to sneak across the water to the Song army camp to attack, they used soil bags to fill in a few passages on the trench, split the foothills, to grab the gate of the village, and the Song army patrolling the night launched a fierce battle, the prepared armies immediately according to the plan to board the wall, for a while everywhere fire and ten thousand crossbows fired together, shooting at the Jin army that was determined to win...
