Liu Yuanxiang was very nervous throughout the whole process, until his subordinates reported that the Zhou army could not attack, so Mingjin withdrew for the time being and stationed around the city.

That's a little more reassuring.

Chu Xun reminded: "Today's victory is to know the arrival of the enemy army in advance, make preparations in time, and wait for work." Don't be careless, the enemy army is recuperating, and when they come to attack the city tomorrow, our side has exhausted the explosive crossbow, and there is not much left of the phosphorus fire pot, so we can only rely on rolling stones, sandalwood, and gold juice, and will fight even harder. The enemy army must attack the four city gates in four directions, our army has few soldiers, and it is already difficult to defend one side of the city gate, and it is impossible to divide the troops at all. ”

"How should this be?" asked Liu Yuanxiang hurriedly.

"What does Chu Taichang think?" Chu Xun turned to his daughter.

Chu Meiren thought about it carefully and said: "Our army is small, so we should recruit the people to guard the city! Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and is deeply loved by the people. Tomorrow, we can mobilize in person, distribute weapons, and get the help of the people, which can alleviate the dilemma of a small number of soldiers. ”

"Hmm~" Chu Xun nodded with satisfaction, "It's a good idea, and it's also the most appropriate way to deal with it at the moment! With His Majesty's prestige, it is not difficult to recruit tens of thousands of people to help." In the face of the Zhou army, our side cannot blindly defend! The enemy army has traveled a long distance, has been disturbed along the way, and has been exhausted by a major battle. If the whole army is gathered in one place, it is not easy to do it. Since the troops are divided into four routes, the general can be sent out of the city tonight to attack at night. ”

"Tang Niu and Mei Xu's two teams are the most heavily defended," Chu Meiren added, "Then Wei Hao and Jiang Wen are easier to deal with." But it should not be underestimated, those who can lead an army alone are not ordinary people! If you want to attack, you can send the guard general Mi Yan and the imperial historian Liang Teng!"

"Hmm~" Chu Xun agreed very much, "Liang Yushi has been fighting all year round and has rich experience; General Mi is very brave, and the female soldiers under his command are unstoppable, so he is the right candidate!

The father and daughter are a word to me, complementing each other's strategies.

Other civil servants gathered around to watch the high-intelligence father and daughter perform deductions on the sand table.

At present, the defense of Huajun City depends on the planning of this father and daughter.

Just as he was talking energetically, an intelligence officer entered the palace: "Report ——! received a secret letter!"

"Submit it!" Liu Yuanxiang ordered.

The palace maid next to her hurriedly went over to take the secret letter and handed it to Liu Yuanxiang.

Open MeSign and take the book used as a password for comparison and decoding, which is a reply from the secret research institute.

It turned out that Liu Yuanxiang had written a secret letter before, sending the intelligence of the enemy's attack to the secret laboratory, asking if there was anything that could help.

All kinds of strange objects in the secret research institute are studied according to Ning Ze's ideas, including many special-level weapons, and the explosive crossbow is one of them.

Liu Yuanxiang usually doesn't ask about the affairs of the research institute, but now he has no choice but to do so, so he tries to contact him.

After carefully checking the decoded content, the letter replied: muskets and artillery have not yet been successfully developed, but there is a class of weapons with amazing power, which has not yet passed safety tests, and is extremely dangerous. In case of emergency, it can be transported by hot air balloon and temporarily sent to Hwagun.

The things developed by the secret research institute are very dangerous, and they can call them extremely dangerous, and they must not be underestimated.

After Liu Yuanxiang and Chu Meiren discussed privately, they decided to let the secret research institute send the things, and the reinforcements from the surrounding counties and towns and counties did not know if they would come in time, who knew what would happen next. At the moment, there is no way, even if you don't pass the security test, you have to use what you can use.

Therefore, he hurriedly wrote a secret letter, and sent the flying pigeon to the secret research institute.

Liang Teng guarded the city gate to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.

Suddenly, he saw the prime minister's chief official Ding Sannu riding a horse, and when he arrived in front of him, he said to him: "Liang Yushi, Your Majesty's secret order!"

Liang Teng hurriedly took the lead in receiving the order, and the generals around him saluted one after another.

Ding Sannu dismounted, handed over the secret decree to Liang Teng, and said respectfully: "Success or failure is in the hands of the general!"

Liang Teng opened the secret decree and glanced at it, and immediately replied: "The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust!"

After Ding Sannu left, Liang Teng immediately turned to Liang Dong and said, "After nightfall, the city gate here will be handed over to you." Immediately organize hundreds of private soldiers, carry gongs, drums and horns, and make full preparations. Stay until late at night, send a member of the army out of the city and harass near the Tang Niu camp. If the enemy army does not come out, they will keep beating gongs and drums and blowing trumpets. If the enemy army left the village, they immediately fled by night and hid in the nearby mountains. Wait for it to return to the village to rest, and then go to disturb it, and repeat it so that it can't live in peace!"

"Whew!" Liang Dong ordered.

Liang Teng immediately mobilized the main force of soldiers and horses, called his henchmen to his side, directly lit a fire to cook, and rested in advance.

On the other side, Mi Yan also received a secret order.

She asked her personal guard Xiaoyan to be responsible for leading the troops to attack and harass Mei Xu, and she also let the elite female soldiers under her command eat and drink enough and sleep in advance.

In the middle of the night, Liang Teng and Mi Yan each led the main army under their command and turned to the west and north gates.

Liang Dong arranged for his private troops to go out of the city, led by a general named Liang Peng of the family, and secretly went to the vicinity of Tang Niu's camp.

On the other side, Xiao Yan also took hundreds of female soldiers out of the city and rushed to the vicinity of the Meixu military camp to wait for the signal.

All four gates are ready and timed by clocks.

When all four clocks point to 23 o'clock, act at the same time.

Liang Peng led his troops to approach the periphery of the Tangniu camp, and hundreds of private soldiers suddenly beat gongs and drums, blew horns, and at the same time, shouted in unison: "Kill, ——!!"

The Tangniu camp was originally silent, only patrols walked back and forth.

The sudden gongs, drums, and horns, as well as the shouts of killing, made all the soldiers quickly get up and put on their armor in a panic to fight.

Tang Niu rushed to the gate of the camp, saw the sound outside quickly moving away, and could not see a figure, and asked suspiciously: "Where is the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, we haven't seen any enemy troops!" replied the soldier in charge of the patrol.

"You, lead the troops out of the village to search the neighborhood. Tang Niu pointed to a general.

The general immediately rushed out of the camp with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and searched around with torches raised.

Liang Peng retreated ahead of schedule and had already led his troops into the mountains and forests.

Hundreds of people took advantage of the darkness and familiarity with the terrain, and it was very easy to hide themselves.

Relatively speaking, it is basically impossible for the soldiers of the Zhou State who are unfamiliar with this side to find the enemy in the dark.

The general searched around the camp and found no enemy, so he went back and told Tang Niu: "Your Majesty, this plan to attack and disturb the enemy army is not to be ignored!"

said so, but the second time I was disturbed, I would still subconsciously come out when I heard the movement.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan also used his familiarity with the terrain to carry out attack tactics.

Frightened by the sudden attack, the whole army went on alert, and then found that no trace could be found.

His unfamiliarity with the terrain made him dare not act rashly, but only ordered to strengthen his vigilance and calmly deal with the attack.

I don't know how many people there are on the other side, whether there is a large army hiding nearby and setting traps, whether they deliberately lure their own troops to attack, Tang Niu and Mei Xu, who were harassed, were on alert and did not pursue.

They were pinned, and Liang Teng and Mi Yan launched an operation and launched a night attack on Wei Hao and Jiang Wen's camp.

Wei Hao and Jiang Wen are also experienced generals, and the camps they set up have no flaws and are heavily defended.

Liang Teng was the first to arrive at Jiang Wen's camp, and did not attack directly, but asked several of his subordinates to dress up and quietly approach the vicinity of the camp. Let the army ambush in place and prepare yourself.

Around Jiang Wen's camp, the patrolmen held torches and carefully inspected without slackening.

Suddenly, I saw a few people sneaking by, looking like passing merchants.

"Who's going to stop!" shouted the patrol general.

The men were frightened, turned around and fled in a panic.

The patrol general hurriedly gave the order and sent dozens of patrolmen to chase after him on horseback.

The patrolmen chased them all the way and found that the "merchants" had mysteriously disappeared and were missing.

Just as he was thinking about searching the surrounding mountains and forests, or going back directly to make a report, a large number of Huajun soldiers suddenly rushed out of the darkness and surrounded them from all directions.

Before they could react, the patrolmen were captured, and soon their armor was removed, their mouths gagged, and tied up with ropes.

Liang Teng ordered his men to put on enemy armor, mount their horses, and turn around and return to the camp. At the same time, lead the army to tailgating, trying not to make a sound.

When the Huajun soldiers disguised as patrol soldiers arrived at the camp, the patrol general came over and asked, "Where are the people?"

"Run!" replied the leader.

"Rubbish!" the patrol general was rather angry, "can this run away?"

The crowd bowed their heads and pretended to be listening.

"Wait!" As the patrol general spoke, he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with these patrol soldiers by the light of the torches, how could they be all unfamiliar faces?

The Huajun soldiers, disguised as enemy soldiers, quickly took out the phosphorus fire pot hidden in the horse's back pocket and threw it vigorously into the walled gate.

Phosphorus fire canisters flew in through the open gates, and some landed in the open space without causing any damage; some hit the tents and immediately burst into flames; some smashed on top of the gates, causing the wooden gates to burn rapidly; and some aimed at the wooden walls of the camps, and for a time they caught fire everywhere.

"Someone, someone!" the patrol commander immediately raised his gun to kill the other party, and at the same time shouted loudly.

Liang Teng, who was behind the "arson ——!!", led the army to rush out of the night, throwing phosphorus fire canisters or rockets at the camp.

I didn't expect that the other party would disguise itself as his own people to launch a sneak attack and set fire directly.

Jiang Wen's camp was in flames, and all the soldiers hurriedly woke up, hurriedly putting on armor and looking for weapons.

The fire attack is still very effective, especially when the opponent is caught off guard.

When the camp was in flames, it was impossible for Jiang Wen's troops to stay in the village and be burned alive, and it was also difficult to extinguish the flames, especially when there was an enemy army around, they were afraid of a sneak attack.

Therefore, we can only deal with the enemy army with all our strength first.

All Liang Teng did was to force out the enemy army, and it was very troublesome for them to defend by the camp, and they had to pay a huge price if they wanted to attack it, and they might not be able to win. However, forcing out of the camp to fight head-on, the well-prepared own army will definitely have the advantage.

Our army began to sleep during the day, and before setting out, they ate and drank enough, but the other side was awakened from a sound sleep, and was still in a state of confusion. The camp is also on fire, and it is chaotic!
