In the night war in the feudal era, because of the lack of effective means of communication, the most taboo was to rashly mobilize troops, which in turn caused chaos.

Because of this, even if he knew that a small group of enemies had infiltrated, Chen Wu did not blindly mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it, but only used this relatively conservative but sufficiently secure method to respond passively. As the news spread to the ministries, night patrols and sentries were on guard, and the camp was bright, almost eliminating the possibility of thieves sneaking in.

The change in the camp did not hide from the assassins sent by Wu'an.

Huang Sheng and his entourage, lurking in the shadows of several camp tents, soon realized that something had changed.

Although he didn't know what went wrong, seeing that the thieves' precautions were obviously tighter, he and the other men in black couldn't help but retreat in their hearts. Unlike the four Shangguan Dong who didn't plan to go back after coming out of this trip, Huang Sheng and the others are not dead soldiers. If it was an inevitable loss in the operation, it would be fine, and now that things are out of order, there is no need to send them to death.

However, the camp of the Taiping army is not something that they can enter and exit whenever they want.

When I infiltrated before, the infiltration process was relatively easy because the martial law order had not yet been spread. But with the full upgrade of vigilance, Huang Sheng, who was about to withdraw, was shocked to find that the original retreat had been illuminated by the firelight, and it happened to be exposed to the sentry's field of vision. For a while, they were trapped in this temporarily hidden hideout, and they were in a dilemma!

The four dead soldiers from the Shangguan family realized that the situation was wrong a little earlier than Huang Sheng.

Because they had already made up their minds to die, their reaction was even more decisive. Comparing the current position, Shangguan Dong made a gesture to the three companions. Jumped out of hiding.

His goal. It is a Taiping Army outpost not far ahead.

If not exposed. Shangguan Dong's original plan was to take advantage of his unpreparedness and try to sneak over. But under the rapid martial law of the Taiping Army camp, the four of them no longer had time to sneak in. For every second wasted, the likelihood of failure is one point greater. Therefore, Shangguan Dong decided to change his plan and forcibly cross this last distance!

Because this was already the hinterland of the Taiping army camp and a relatively safe area, the two sentries still looked a little careless even if they had received the news. Shangguan Dong deliberately chose the blind spot of the two of them. When the other party feels the wind behind them, it's too late.

The poisoned dagger in Shangguan Dong's hand was lightly wiped on his throat, and he was killed without much effort.

Another sentry heard the slightest movement and turned his head in confusion. By the time he saw what was happening and wanted to shout a warning, it was too late. Shangguan Dong's accomplices decisively launched a decisive campaign to deal with this sentry.

From beginning to end, the sentry that was dealt with barely made a sound.

"Leave the corpse alone, quick!"

Pulling the corpse to the side at will, Shangguan Dong did not hesitate any longer. With three dead soldiers, he rushed straight to the Chinese army.

After special training, the speed and efficiency of their infiltration are much higher than those of Huang Sheng. Previous position. I have already touched the periphery of the guard circle of the Chinese military tent. After clearing the outpost, the four dead men rushed thirty or forty paces, and could almost see the dim light of the Chinese military tent in the distance.

"Enemy attack!"

Two volunteer soldiers shouted, knives in hand, ready to rush up to intercept.

However, Shangguan Dong's subordinates didn't look at it, raised their hands and threw the daggers, shooting the two people accurately. Their pace barely stopped, and they rushed straight into the Chinese army without hesitation, and they killed Chen Wu even if they died.

"Stop them!"

As the most heavily guarded place, the guards in front of the Chinese army's tent are ready for battle. One team stood in front of the tent, and the other team took the initiative to meet it.

"Kill!"

Despite the large number of enemies, Shangguan Dong's expression under the masked square scarf did not fear or waver.

As a dead man, death is an inevitable end, and there is only one thing he cares about: whether he can complete the task before he dies. What's more, with sophisticated weapons, inner armor and superb skills, coupled with the crossbow arrows on his body, even if these thieves in front of him are several times more personal guards than his own, more reinforcements will arrive soon, and Shangguan Dong is confident that he can solve them in a short time.

However......

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to twenty paces, the thieves on the opposite side stopped in unison. Under the surprised gaze of Shangguan Dong and several henchmen, these guards invariably took out crossbow arrows from the Omani Dynasty and each of them had one in hand.

Ten hard crossbow salvos!

At such a close distance, even the inner armor that could withstand an ordinary sword would never be able to block the shot of a hard crossbow. What's more, in order to ensure the killing of the enemy, the guards used all the supporting special arrows sent by Qinghu Hutongguang. This particular arrow, with its terrifying piercing force, tore through the bodies of the four dead men into a bloody hole.

The superb martial arts skills they were proud of had no room for display at all.

"How... Will ......"

Although the guards' crossbow arrows were not poisonous, the fatal penetrating wound still took away Shangguan Dong's vitality in a very short time. He stumbled to the ground, touched the crossbow arrow on his body that he was not willing to use immediately, and with full of incomprehension and disbelief, he fell to the ground!

Gan Xing of the Intelligence Department and Li Zishi, the captain of the personal guard, walked out of the darkness together.

Wu An's assassination should only be this wave. But the stakes are serious, and the two of them dare not be careless. While ordering people to quickly clean up the battlefield and restore vigilance, he personally stepped forward to check the bodies of the four people.

The masked black scarf was removed, revealing the disfigured and horrible cheeks in front of them, even for four of them.

Even anyone can't find any clues through the appearance of guò.

"Dead Soldiers......

Gan Xing muttered, carefully picked up the quenched crossbow bolts from their corpses, and looked at them for a moment with torches, shaking his head.

………

In the strict defense of the Taiping camp and the anxious waiting of the Wu'an Governor's Mansion, the sky lit up little by little.

Without the threat of night, Chen Wu couldn't wait to send troops and began a comprehensive inventory of possible remnants of the official and military assassins. As for Wu'an's side, seeing that the Taiping army camp was busy but not chaotic, and there were no expected changes, he knew that their assassination had failed.

This made Qian Boming and Kang He very disappointed, and the people of the Shangguan family were bleeding from their hearts.

Although they didn't expect to succeed when they sent these people last night, they had great expectations for it, hoping that this desperate action would work wonders. It's a pity that the Taiping army's tight defense and steady response made it impossible to tell them that these little clevers were all possible.

To decide where Wu'an belongs, in the end, it is necessary to speak with war!

With the effects of last night's assassination removed, the rebels began to assemble again. Despite the heavy losses yesterday, after a night's rest, coupled with the treatment of braised pork and rice in the morning, the morale has finally recovered a lot. After several rounds of trebuchet bombardment, the Volunteer Battalion stepped on the slope of the earth and rushed to the top of the city again.

After suffering last night's loss, Kang He is obviously a lot more cautious today. After the trebuchet stopped bombarding and the rebels themselves entered the range of the trebuchet, he let the scattered officers and troops reline to meet the battle. Although this will inevitably make your own side suffer a small loss, and there is no way to set up the array in advance to wait for work, at least there will not be the tragic situation of being wiped out by a round of blows last night.

Accompanied by the sound of drums and shouts of killing, the battle that began to heat up at the beginning kicked off the second day of the general offensive.

Whether it is the coalition side or the Wu'an side, they all know that today's battle is very important, and it may even be the key to deciding the victory. Both sides have already exerted their strength to eat, and the government has sent all the officials who can be mobilized, the fast catchers, and even some of the governor's palace guards; Not to mention the coalition forces, the Volunteer Battalion, the Dharma Protector Buddha Soldiers, and the Fuhu Battalion...... Even the remnants of the Little Knife Society, the Red Eyebrow Army, and other remnants that had been hit hard were forcibly driven up, and one round of consumption was one round.

The only thing that hasn't moved in his hand is Chen Wu's Taiping camp.

A whole wing, a thousand people!

Chen Wu did his best to build the most elite troops!

Regarding Chen Wu's refusal to pinch this force all the time, Wang Huifang and other leaders of the forces must have opinions. But they also know that once this force joins, it will inevitably be the time to decide the outcome of the war. Wu'an's people will mobilize a qiē force to snipe it at any cost, and then the Taiping camp's losses will only be greater. Putting this aside, even Wang Huifang admitted in his heart that the Taiping Battalion's combat strength maybe, probably, maybe a little stronger than his own Dharma Protector Buddhist soldiers.

Let the Taiping Battalion do the final general attack, which should be the most likely plan to break through Wu'an.

The battle has reached this point now, and the only thing that has not yet been revealed in this plan is which wall Chen Wu intends to put this force on.

In addition to the south wall of the main attack and the north side of the empty wall, the moats of the east and west walls have long been filled, and there have been people feint below to distract the attention of the officers and soldiers. But which side is the final decisive place?

Although he was questioned by Wang Huifang more than once, Chen Wu always only smiled incomprehensibly and refused to tell him the answer in advance.

It's not just Wang Huifang who cares about this issue.

In Wu'an City, Lin Yunwen, the eldest son of the Lin family, Kang He on the city wall, and Yuan Xingwei in the heavenly prison are also speculating about the answer to this question.

Among the three parties, Kanghe's judgment is meaningless, because he has no spare energy to take care of it. The only one who can affect the battle situation in Wu'an is Lin Yunwen...... Yuan Xingwei can only be counted as half.

Due to the transcendent status of the Lin family, the command of the private soldiers in the hands of the nobles of the family is almost all in his hands. However, Chen Wu's superb methods made it difficult for Lin Yunwen to judge the exact strength that the Taiping army could use in the end. Even with such a powerful private army, he did not dare to act rashly.

Yuan Xingwei was even more difficult.

The number of people he can use is much smaller than that of the Lin family, and if he wants to influence the battle situation at a critical moment, the timing of his intervention must be very clever. If you guess the wrong direction, you are likely to lose all your efforts!

Before thinking about this question, there is a more important thing before him.

Escape from the prison first! (To be continued.) )
