There was no war, so Zhou Tianwen and others went to the banquet.

At the banquet, Ling Husu and Chen Lu told their sisterhood, and at the same time, Ling Husu took this opportunity to reward a group of meritorious generals, making the atmosphere of the banquet even higher.

In the middle of the banquet, Xiu Yun came to whisper, and Ling Hu Su left temporarily with him, taking Cheng Jin with him.

"Your Majesty, those people are scattered all over the search, and the final destination is the artillery battalion station."

Linghu Su suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that they are going to destroy our artillery. ”

"Your Majesty, go and arrest them." Cheng Jin was secretly angry, the newly formed artillery battalion was now in his charge, and if the artillery failed, he could not escape the blame.

Ling Hu Su thought about it carefully and whispered a few words to him.

After the banquet, Ling Husu took Chen Lu back to his tent and said that the two sisters would sleep together tonight. As for the other guards, they were all driven to other places, and they were a little free.

"Su Su, you are the emperor now, this is not good!" Chen Lu felt uneasy.

"Sister, you can rest assured! I see that you are not in good health, and the imperial doctor is already waiting for them to prescribe some medicine for you. "Linghu Su can check it out, but he can't catch the medicine.

Somewhere, Han Ke gathered a group of brothers and was secretly deliberating.

"Have you found out?"

"It is already clear that their artillery is placed in a large tent on the north side of the camp, and we only need to ignite the camp tent and combine it with the shells brought by the artillery to blow up the sky."

"Okay, very good, let's do it at the end of the day. Wait until the enemy camp is chaotic and then find an opportunity to leave, someone must leave and spread the news. ”

"My subordinates understand."

And the artillery battalion was stationed, well defended, and it was not until the end of the day, when the guards were lax, that these people quietly blended in.

A group of masters with superb internal skills can easily blend in from the guards of ordinary soldiers.

"Captain, this is it."

The big tent was about seven or eight meters high, and the inside was brightly lit, and from the outside, you could see the hideous shape of the artillery, and the long barrel seemed to be about to fire. If they could get more information, they would know that Chen Guo's artillery had to be disassembled because of the inconvenience of transportation, and it would not be so complete.

"You, scatter around, and wait for my order to light a fire."

"Yes!"

A group of people are like monkeys, flexibly scattered around, each holding a torch in his hand.

"Ignition." Hank shouted loudly, and everyone threw torches at the tent.

"What people!" Some guards noticed the movement, which then caused a chain reaction, and one by one the guards found the fire and ran over.

"Withdraw!"

They did not have time to linger, evacuated from all directions, did not dare to walk together.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of an explosion behind him, and Han Ke's heart was relieved, and the mission was completed.

In fact, it was not the big tent that exploded, but the open space next to it, the fire in the tent was being extinguished, there was artillery in it, but no shells were fired. Linghu Su has long explicitly forbidden to put shells and artillery together, and shells must be placed separately, which is very demanding in all aspects.

Cheng Jin led the people out of the darkness, dealt with the follow-up, and instructed his subordinates: "The whole battalion is searching, and the movement is bigger." ”

When Zhou Tianwen learned that the artillery was destroyed, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it, and then his face was full of anger, and he didn't care about wearing his coat, so he put on a long shirt at random and went straight to the artillery battalion.

Most of the other generals are like this, the power of artillery is too great, and these generals who have led the troops all year round now have great respect for artillery, to the point of superstition. As long as the siege is carried out, a few cannons must be fired first.

When a group of generals hurried to the artillery battalion, they saw only devastation and charred blackness.

Zhou Tianwen was about to scold, but when he found that Ling Husu was also there, he held back his anger and led everyone to salute.

Ling Husu was full of anger and lost his temper: "What are you eating, Cheng Jin, the artillery battalion is your army, from today onwards, you will be demoted by three levels and fined for three years." Others, and then punish later. ”

Chen Jin bowed his head and said nothing, and the other guards knelt on the ground.

Ling Husu vented, and then remembered Zhou Tianwen and others.

"You're here, excuse me."

"Your Majesty, what's going on here?"

Linghu Su explained: "The thieves who came from nowhere set fire to the big tent of the artillery battalion, and now, the artillery is completely destroyed. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was angry, and they all pointed the finger at defending the country.

After a group of people scolded for a while, Linghu Su ordered them to go back to the camp to rest, leaving Zhou Tian alone.

Zhou Tianwen was the only one who turned from anger to calm, and Ling Husu led him into the big tent, where the artillery inside was intact.

"I saw the change in your expression, you should have guessed."

"The minister is indeed aware that the artillery cannot be destroyed inexplicably, and His Majesty has taken many precautions."

Ling Husu explained the reason, and finally said: "After you go back, pretend that the artillery has been destroyed and let everyone know, so that you can deceive Qingshu for a short time." Wait until tomorrow, our army will attack Huaicheng directly, pretending to be annoyed and angry. Don't procrastinate, Qingshu will be able to react quickly. The general who defended Huaicheng was Yu Shanzhong, who was so happy that he would inevitably lose his vigilance after learning that our artillery had been destroyed. Then, our army quietly arranged artillery, destroyed all the artillery at the head of the city, and then broke through the city. ”

Zhou Tian asked to understand, and heard Linghu Su sigh: "It's just that some soldiers will be killed and injured tomorrow, alas! ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are no immortals in war, our army's pension system is unprecedented, and they die well for the country."

"Well, go back and do what you do."

Shu Qin designed first, and Ling Hu Su planned to use this as a breakthrough point to attack Huaicheng. But with Shu Qin's ingenuity, when he learned that the Northwest Army did not retreat but advanced, he knew that there was a conspiracy in it.

It's a pity that there is no telephone in this era, communication depends on manpower, and Shuqin, who is far away in Rongcheng, cannot get the news so quickly.

Early the next morning, the news of the destruction of the artillery spread, and Chen Lu's face turned pale when he learned about it, and his eyes wept in the face of Ling Husu.

"Sister, don't worry, it's okay."

"But, I ......"

Linghu Su turned to Xiuyun and said, "Quickly send someone to tell Zhao Xun that Imperial Concubine Lu's guards destroyed the core weapons of our army, and I am furious and detain Imperial Concubine Lu." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sister, you just stay with me, don't go back."

Linghu Su didn't wait for Chen Lu to speak, let people look at her, and couldn't let her out of the camp, since it was a seizure, she had to look like a seizure.

Huaicheng, Yu Shanzhong was awakened before dawn, and only after getting a report did he learn that a person claiming to be a guard in Ouchi asked to see him.

Hurriedly summoned the man, who had multiple wounds on his body.

"In Xia Hanke, the Ouchi guards, on the orders of His Majesty and Qingxiang, infiltrated the Chen State military camp on the pretext of the imperial concubine's visit to relatives and destroyed its artillery. Send a message back and inform Your Majesty. ”

Yu Shanzhong was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to summon him. What he feared the most was Chen Guoren's artillery, even if he had ten guns on his city, but the artillery could only attack but not defend, if the enemy copied the method of capturing Tancheng, it was likely to pose a huge threat to Huaicheng.

But now, Chen Guoren has no artillery, and everything will be fine for him.

"Huh? Since Chen Guo can build artillery, there must be a follow-up. ”

The strategist next to him smiled and said, "General, don't worry too much, the capital of Chen Guo is thousands of miles away from here, and it is difficult for them to transport new artillery." Besides, our spies are all over the place, and we haven't found anything to spare. Artillery is not food, you have it if you want. ”

"Very good."
