Chapter Seventy-Seven: Preemptive Strike
There are reconnaissance guards in front of the road exploration, plus the guide assigned by the owner of the hundred merchants, not to mention the Miao clan who is already living in seclusion in this southwest mountain personally led, thousands of troops, in one day, marched at great speed, crossed more than ten mountains smoothly, and went straight to the camp of Ten Thousand Beasts City.
Towards evening, under the guidance of the guide of the hundred merchants, the army set up camp in a relatively hidden and dangerous valley to rest and reorganize......
"How far is it from the Ten Thousand Beasts camp?"
Ding Zhuqiang regarded himself as the lord of the city, and stood in front of the desk in the Chinese military tent and asked a question.
"Returning to the City Lord, according to the report, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts has also set up camp and marched into the southwest mountain, and the exact location is still to be confirmed. ”
A black-clothed spy of the Feiling family knelt on the ground very respectfully and returned.
Ding Zhuqiang nodded and ordered: "Very good, continue to investigate, and at the same time take the opportunity to mix the poisonous salt into the enemy camp, and report back immediately as soon as there is news." ”
"Yes. ”
The black-clad spy immediately took the order and left.
"You kid, you're in such a hurry, you won't do anything tonight!"
Miao Changnian, who was at the bottom, got up and came to the desk and couldn't help asking.
"The big war is coming, and we should have planned for a rainy day, and we must know that we should strike first. Ding Zhuqiang's expression was solemn, and he repeatedly checked the map of the southwest mountains he had drawn, and gave an order: "Once the enemy's position is locked, you will immediately send hundreds of agile soldiers to set fire to the camp, even if you can't thwart the enemy, you can kill their prestige, teach them to be fearful, and don't want to sleep peacefully." ”
"De Jong, do you hear it, hurry up and arrange preparations. ”
Miao Changnian turned to the young man of the Miao clan who was in the tent of the Chinese army.
"Well, good. ”
Miao Derong immediately got up and left.
Ding Zhuqiang pondered for a moment, then beckoned: "Guide officer, you come over first, can you point me out to me which terrain is easier to defend and difficult to attack in the vicinity, which can be ambushed?"
The guide assigned by the lord of the hundred merchants, who was over fifty years old, but he looked old and strong, brushed his goatee, came to the desk, and muttered with a bright look at the map: "There are all mountains in this vicinity, and it is really difficult to find out if you really want to talk about the treacherous and important places, but there is only a canyon, which is the necessary place for the march of the Ten Thousand Beast City." ”
"Oh, canyon?" Ding Qiqiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Where is it?"
The guide roughly pointed on the map: "It is directly south of our army's camp, according to which it is about twenty miles. ”
Ding Zhuqiang immediately instructed: "Very good, without further ado, wait until tomorrow morning, you will personally lead the way, lead the 5,000 army, and ambush here." ”
"Five thousand troops?" Miao Changnian exclaimed, "This is half of the strength of the whole army, if the enemy comes to attack, how can the enemy be defeated?"
Ding Zhuqiang smiled very easily: "If the enemy army is strong and can't win, then avoid its edge and retreat first!"
"You ......" Miao Chang was suspicious for many years, and then objected: "I don't agree with this style of play!"
"If you don't agree, then you should tell me how to fight?" Do you want to fight hard?" After Ding Zhuqiang questioned, he even asked: "Do you know what the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts City is, and what is the combat strength? With your new recruit, the recruit who has not yet had time to train, is it going to die?"
Miao Changnian was asked so quickly that he was short of breath, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't answer for a while, but he asked: "Then you should tell me, once the enemy army raises troops to attack the camp, how to meet it?"
"This still needs to be asked, naturally it is to retreat and ambush. Ding Zhuqiang extinguished the fire at once, and then said: "If the enemy dares to come, I will dare to come to catch turtles in an urn, and the camp where our army is located has only one valley pass to guard, and there are high mountains all around." I wish the enemy was coming!"
"Brother, don't worry! Zhuqiang is indeed very good at giving advice, so you should listen to him first!"
At this time, Ruoshui, who had been waiting behind Ding Zhuqiang, couldn't help but speak comfortingly.
"Hmph!" Miao Changnian had to snort angrily: "Okay then! If the battle is defeated, I will lead the people of the Miao clan to retreat directly to the Miao clan land and fight to the death with the Ten Thousand Beast City." ”
"You can rest assured that there will never be that time. ”
Ding Zhuqiang didn't say much, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, he collapsed and sat down, holding his forehead with his hands, and thinking to himself.
For a while, in the entire Chinese military tent, the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
"Lord of the city, dinner is ready, please eat. ”
After a while, a guard in charge of catering served a large bowl of broth on a tray.
Ruoshui, who was not far from the left and right, saw that Ding Zhuqiang was worried, so he had no choice but to move lightly, personally took the tray, and placed it on the table in front of Ding Zhuqiang, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, let's eat something first!"
With this tender whisper full of concern, Ding Zhuqiang's mood improved greatly, and he just stopped and said, "You guys should go to dinner too!"
"Yes. ”
A group of generals, including Miao Changnian and the guide officer, bowed and retreated.
"Come, sit down and eat together!"
Seeing that they all retreated, only the two of them were left alone in the entire Chinese military tent, and Ding Zhuqiang did not avoid suspicion, and pulled Ruoshui into his arms and sat down very affectionately.
Ruoshui instinctively was shy and timid, and wanted to refuse to meet it, but when he saw Ding Zhuqiang scooping up the broth, he immediately stopped: "Eh, wait first, let me see if it's poisonous?"
"Yo?" Ding Zhuqiang was surprised, smiled and praised: "It is worthy of being my virtuous helper, so careful as a hair, and very little understanding." ”
Ruoshui smiled silently, and instead stretched out his Qianqian jade finger and pointed into the broth, which was faintly visible, rippling in circles, and exuding an emerald green glow, which was very beautiful......
"It's not poisonous, it's OK to eat. ”
After the temptation, Ruoshui shook his head lightly, fell softly in his arms, and his forehead was already soaked with a trace of fragrant sweat......
Ding Zhuqiang's heart was full of pity, gently hugged the warm fragrance of nephrite, picked up the bowl, and held chopsticks in his hand, but it seemed to be the same as at a certain moment......
Ding Zhuqiang immediately picked up a piece of stewed dried meat, and fed it affectionately: "Look at you so weak, eat it quickly!"
Ruoshui shook his head instinctively and blurted out: "I don't eat meat, I just drink soup." ”
Hearing this familiar words, Ding Zhuqiang was stunned, and replied instinctively: "Then what's the matter, if you don't eat meat, you'll be hungry?"
"Puff ......" Ruoshui couldn't help but smile, "Aren't you already hungry and cooing?" As soon as he finished saying this, Ruoshui's bright eyes were already full of tears, and he almost wanted to take his eyes......
Ding Zhuqiang was also greatly moved, no longer answered, and hurriedly let go of the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and in the midst of affection, he lowered his head and kissed deeply on his red lips......
Ruoshui cried with joy all of a sudden, closed his eyes, and catered to ......
Because he was too passionate, Ding Zhuqiang took advantage of the situation and attacked his tongue into Ruoshui's slightly slightly opened red lips, and the two little fragrant tongues touched each other......
"Huh!"
Ruoshui is still very shy and innocent after all, how can he withstand such a fierce teasing, when he felt Ding Zhuqiang's hot tongue sticking in, he was immediately startled, and quickly pushed it away......
Fortunately, Ding Zhuqiang did not kiss strongly, and under Ruoshui's push, the red lips that kissed together parted......
"How are you...... Ruoshui Wu didn't come back to his senses, subconsciously wiped his lips, lowered his eyes, glanced at the soup bowl and said, "Let's eat quickly!"
"Okay!" Ding Zhuqiang nodded and must have come back to his senses, picked up the bowl and said with a smile: "Then I'll feed my good wife first, ...... first"
"You've kissed you so much, so let's eat together!"
Ruoshui's face is red, and he is no longer shy and shy.
In this way, Ding Zhuqiang is happy, the two have a deep relationship, honey and oil, you eat a bite and I feed a mouthful, and eat a big bowl of broth......
"Report!"
As soon as he finished eating, he only heard an urgent report from outside the tent of the Chinese army.
Ruoshui, who was still sitting in Ding Zhuqiang's arms, seemed reluctant to get up and leave, and took the tray placed on the desk out very consciously......
"What's going on?
Ding Zhuqiang immediately came to the momentum and sat in danger.
The black-clothed spy of the Feiling family did not hesitate, knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to the city lord, I have found out that the Ten Thousand Beasts City is fifty miles away from the southwest of our army, and at the same time, the poisonous salt has been successfully mixed into the enemy's granary. ”
"Wow! Great!" Ding was overjoyed, got up, and shouted, "Someone!"
"What do you command?"
A pro-soldier general bowed down in the camp.
Ding Zhuqiang said with high interest: "Hurry up and pass on Miao to come for a long time. ”
"Big brother, are you interested in coming with me to have a look?"
As soon as Miao Changnian led the generals into the camp, Ding Zhuqiang greeted him with a smile.
"What?"
Miao Changnian couldn't help but be surprised, obviously not yet reacting.
Ding Zhuqiang didn't say much, but asked: "Is it okay to select hundreds of soldiers with dexterous skills to come out? Without further ado, let's talk while walking." ”
Ruoshui just happened to get into the account, and pulled Ding Qiqiang and said, "I'm going too." ”
"According to my biology teacher, who studied in the West, girls will get wrinkles if they stay up late. Ding Zhuqiang smiled and soothed: "You have been marching for a day, hurry up and sleep with my golden silk ruyi bird!"
"Tweet ......"
The poisonous flame desolate sparrow seemed to have sense, and in the chirping, as soon as Ding Zhuqiang walked out of the tent, he landed on Ding Zhuqiang's shoulder.
Ding Zhuqiang turned to hand over the golden silk ruyi bird to the extremely reluctant Ruo sailor, and said to him: "Protect her well......"
"Tweet ......"
The golden silk ruyi bird is really psychic, making a chirping, which has attracted the eyes of many others, and it is amazing......
"Alright then, you need to be careful. Ruoshui blushed slightly, and suddenly whispered to Ding Zhuqiang: "I will wait for you to come back and sleep together." ”
Ding Zhu swallowed his saliva fiercely, but when he saw that under the starry sky and moonlit night, Ruoshui's shy and timid appearance was really beautiful and reverie......
"Brother Changnian, I have already selected three hundred soldiers under your orders, and they have all brought fire oil, and they are ready to set off at any time. ”
And at this time, Miao Derong came out of time to make a report.
"Let's go, then!"
Miao Chang Nian Xian couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead.
Ding Zhuqiang had no choice but to hold back the passion in his heart, take a deep look, and leave without saying a word.
