Time passed little by little, and Zhang Lang's troops were still swaggering and simply camping in front of the Baqiu Water Village to rest. It's just that Zhang Lang is not idle, he has already sent a team of soldiers to Dayun Mountain. The situation there was really the same as what Huang Zhong said, all the soldiers had already retreated to the water village, and there was no one to guard it, so it was easy to take it down.

After Zhang Lang took control of the key places of Dayun Mountain and Tianyue Mountain, he immediately began to ask them to arrange manpower, began to carefully check for leaks and reinforcements, and further strengthened the fortifications in the two places, preparing to prevent Wang Wei's counterattack. Then focus on the water village.

At this time, it was almost dark, and bright torches had been lit on the water village in the distance.

Zhang Lang looked unhurried, sat around with his subordinates, talked and laughed, and ate together.

Everyone doesn't know what Zhang Lang wants to do, but it is certain that there will be some big moves tonight.

Zhang Lang held a flatbread in one hand, which was the spoils of war obtained when he had just won the victory in the afternoon, and held a water bag in the other hand, muttering and muttering non-stop, the image was very heroic and hearty, and he didn't look at him at all.

Huang Xu sat on a small boxy stone, chewing on the jerky in his mouth, eating deliciously, and asked, "Lord, what are you going to do now?" ”

After Huang Xu asked this, the soldiers who were eating dry food on the side couldn't help but slow down their hands, and at the same time pricked up their ears one by one.

Zhang Lang winked at Huang Xu and did not speak.

Huang Xu looked around vigilantly, except for the Black Eagle Guard who was protecting on the side, the other soldiers were still a distance, and couldn't help lowering his voice again: "The subordinates know that the lord has a big plan, but the subordinates can't guess it for a while, and they are itching to know what the lord guild will do, so I have this question, the lord must not be strange." ”

Zhang Lang smiled and shook his head, obviously not too concerned: "Actually, it's nothing, it's more appropriate for Zhang Ning to deal with this situation." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone realized at the same time, it seemed that Zhang Lang was about to use the power of the skeleton soldier again, and couldn't help but float his eyes to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning felt the strange gaze of the soldiers, couldn't help but turn around with charming eyes, laughed softly, and then sat in a corner with dry food and tasted it gently, his movements were very elegant.

Zhang Lang stopped gobbling up and said to Zhang Ning: "Later, you can let Zhang Kun and Zhang Zhong start to prepare." There wasn't much time for us, and in about another day, Wang Wei would rush back to Baqiu, and we had a hard fight at that time. ”

Zhang Ning answered, ate two bites casually, and then stood up.

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "What, don't eat it?" I didn't want you to go now, did I? Otherwise, what if you don't have the strength to fight? If someone cuts off a horse, don't blame me for abusing the soldiers. ”

Zhang Ningjiao said: "How come? It's just that I don't have much appetite. ”

Zhang Lang shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Zhang Ning's eyes and said softly: "Then you should be careful." ”

Zhang Ning glanced at Zhang Lang deeply with his peach blossom eyes, and it seemed that there were different emotions in them, and she couldn't help but let the latter's heart flutter slightly, and she chuckled: "Thank you for the general's concern, Zhang Ning will be very "careful". ”

Zhang Lang nodded, then stood up, then stretched his waist, and said with a long breath: "After everyone has eaten, let's start preparing, no matter what, tonight, we will take this Shuizhai base." ”

The generals, whether they had eaten well or not, stood up neatly and answered the order with a bang.

The night is deep. Lake Bachu was plunged into darkness. The sky was cloudy, the shining stars had disappeared, and the bright moon had long since been driven to hide. Only the constant lapping of the tide against the shore of the clouds and the cold chirp of the night owls.

Rows of flying arrows, with a faint cloud of smoke, pierced the silence of the night sky.

Not long after, the Baqiu Water Village began to be full of people, and the blazing torches were everywhere, illuminating the dark night with a fiery red. Angry, screaming and miserable screams continued to be heard from the water village, making the night sky even more eerie. Clouds of multicolored smoke filled the water village, scattering everywhere.

The smoke grew thicker and thicker, choking the tears streaming down the eyes of the soldiers at their posts, and they could barely see the distance of several meters when they opened their eyes. Liu Biaojun thought that Zhang Langjun's night attack had begun, and all the soldiers began to panic, in order to dispel the shadow in their hearts, the soldiers all picked up bows and arrows and began to shoot aimlessly.

"Chattering ......" There was a sudden sneer in the night sky, accompanied by gusts of yin wind, and the creepy sound pierced through the fog and resounded throughout the water village. Almost everyone was startled, like a ghostly voice, so that the cowardly soldiers, who were already nervous, began to be restless and panicked.

Looming, a large number of ghosts, gods and demons, each with a cloak of hair, fangs and sharp teeth, green and scary eyes, miserable white skulls, from the nostrils, mouth, ears crawling everywhere disgusting insects, pale green liquid, slowly overflowing from the body, the soul banner in the hand, from time to time shining with phosphorus green dissolved light, just like the eighteen layers of hell crawling out of the terrible ghosts, demagogic.

The soldiers I saw had already scattered and were afraid, and the timid ones were even more vomiting.

With the help of the deterrent power of ghosts, the skeleton soldiers took advantage of the other party's panic and began to approach Dazhai.

The guard didn't know what was happening on the front line at all, thinking that Zhang Lang was coming, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, stabilize the horns of the formation for me, the archers go up, and shoot me hard." ”

A sparse rain of arrows flew out.

Surrounded by colorful smoke, the skeletons couldn't find their target at all, and could only shoot blindly indiscriminately. But this didn't seem to be useful at all, the skeleton body just paused, and then walked up slowly, and soon came to the outside of Dazhai, and began to climb the fence to enter, and some skeleton soldiers picked up the seemingly blunt but extremely sharp Pu knife in their hands, and began to slash at the gate of the village weakly.

"Whoosh" Another row of arrow rain, with a burning tarpaulin, fell in the village.

As soon as an archer raised his bow, the light of the fire suddenly pierced through the smoke, and then he saw a miserable white skull, his eyes shining like a ghost, and his long red tongue appeared at him, and he was frightened on the spot, and let out an earth-shattering scream: "Ghost." Then the whole leg went all the way and fainted.

A series of screams made the archers closest to the gate retreat like a tide, and in the fury of the guards, a long group of spearmen had already risen up, stabbed through the fence and stabbed outward. They hoped to take advantage of the long soldiers and keep the skeleton soldiers out of the gate.

At this time, a group of meteor-like fireworks flashed in the sky again, and in the blink of an eye, it fell into the water village.

The arrows fell to the ground, and began to emit colorful smoke again, and slowly the entire water village was shrouded in smoke.

The smoke had faded a little, but it began to diffuse again. And Liu Biaojun's command system began to slowly fail, and the soldiers were like headless flies, all of them were running around, if they weren't very familiar with the environment here, I was afraid that they would have long since lost their place.

The guard general of the water village could not sit still on the platform for a long time, and rushed up with the guards who had palpitations, and in the smoke, he reached out to catch a panicked soldier, and said sharply: "What a panic, the military law has orders, and those who escape from the battle will be killed." ”

The soldier's legs weakened with fright, and he knelt on the ground and begged, "General, don't kill me, there is a ghost in front of you." ”

The guard drew his sword on the spot, cut the soldier, blood spilled all over the ground, he yelled several times: "Escape from the battle, and bewitch the public, you are not sorry to die, everyone must not be fooled, this is Zhang Lang's bewitching technique, these skeletons are all people pretending, don't be afraid, cut me hard." While shouting, he desperately commanded the soldiers to fight back.

Although the shouting of the guard has played some purpose, but at this time the village has been in chaos, the timid hiding in the corner shivering, the frightened crying father and shouting mother's voice, and those soldiers who were reminded by the main general, in front of the gate of the village to resist the skeleton soldiers, the brain is actually blank, and the hands and feet are even more uncontrollable trembling.

"Ah......" Several shocking screams sounded at the gate of the village, and at the same time, a soldier of Liu Biao exclaimed loudly: "It's not good, the skeleton broke up the gate of the village and began to rush in." Oh my mother, ah......hhh

Everyone in the water village shuddered, and an irresistible emotion began to grow from the bottom of their hearts.

"Chatter......" The sinister laughter rang out again.

The guard's face had already turned pale, and at this time, one of the guards beside him said in a panic: "General, the form is very bad, you can't prepare the ship while you go, if you can't leave it late." ”

The guard was furious at the guard, his eyes as if they were about to burst into flames.

In a small mountain peak in the distance, Zhang Lang was coldly looking at the Baqiu Water Village under the mountain.

Guo Jia shook his head leisurely on his right side and said: "Although Baqiu Water Village occupies an important geographical position, it is a pity that Wang Wei can't make the best use of everything, even if the lord does not send skeleton soldiers tonight, Mao Ying and Mao Jie's three thousand mountain soldiers can also capture this place." It seems that I still overestimated Wang Wei and overestimated Liu Biao. ”

Although Zhang Lang didn't get the specific battle situation, he didn't have to guess to know what the result would be, he nodded first when he heard this, then lowered his head and pondered something, and then said slowly: "In the future, it is better for us to use less skeleton soldiers, unless it is at an extremely critical time, otherwise we will dispatch frequently, I am afraid that sooner or later others will catch the flaw, and then there will be a lack of a sharp weapon to attack the city and seize the land, it will be a pity." ”

Guo Jia agreed: "Yes, the so-called strange soldiers, if they attack at two ends in three days, this strange soldier will be gone." ”

Zhang Lang said slowly: "After taking Baqiu, what good strategy does Feng Xiao have for how to rebuild the defense line in a short period of time?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Strategizing, subordinates may be able to come up with a little ghost idea, but the implementation of the marching formation, building defense, but not my specialty, this extraordinary period, subordinates do not dare to indiscriminately point, only afraid of a careless, self-defeating, loss of life is small, damage to the lord's great cause is serious." ”

Zhang Lang sighed and said, "It's a pity that Gongjin is not here, if he is here, there will definitely be a way." ”

Guo Jia also sighed, feeling the same way.

At this time, someone called Zhang Lang and said: "The lord ......"

Zhang Lang turned around, but saw that it was Sun Ce who was clasping his fists behind him and saluting, and couldn't help asking, "Bo Fu, what's the matter?" ”

Sun Ce said: "My subordinates have an idea, I don't know if the lord wants to hear it?" ”

Zhang Lang said "oh", and said with interest on his face: "Then let's hear it." ”

Sun Ce got Zhang Lang's permission and said calmly: "In the opinion of his subordinates, Baqiu has three mountains and one water, which is supposed to take advantage of the geography, but it allows the lord to get it so easily, which has a lot to do with the lord's surprise army, but it cannot be denied that this has a lot to do with the snow in front of several defense lines." If they stand separately, several strongholds are very strong, which is also recognized by the subordinates, but the key is that they lack organic contact points, and if they can be organically combined, they can form a stronger overall defense line. ”

Zhang Lang and Guo Jia nodded again and again after hearing this: "Not bad, not bad, go on." ”

Sun Ce continued: "In this case, the lord can choose an entry point to connect these defensive lines, which will be more defensive and mobile. ”

Zhang Lang asked: "Where is the entry point?" ”

Sun Ce smiled: "Baqiu City West." ”

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, Baqiu West City, east of Baling Mountain, west of Dongting Lake, north of the Yangtze River, south of the three Hunan and four waters, is indeed a good central location.

Sun Ce said: "The lord can expand the Baqiu Mansion City on the basis of the Baqiu Mansion built by Ma Yuan in the west of the city. Of course, time is limited now, so you can build a simple watchtower first. In this way, you can overlook the three mountains and four rivers in the distance, and the movements of several important checkpoints are undoubted; Second, it can be used as a command center, remotely referring to the three armies to fight; Three ......"

Sun Ce kept counting several benefits, and Zhang Lang, who only listened, smiled. Before he could do it, Zhang Lang laughed at Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu is really surprising, if there is a way, only you can think of it." ”

Who knew that Sun Ce said lightly: "The lord has won the award, and this idea was not thought up by his subordinates." ”

Zhang Lang was curious: "It's not what you think, who is that?" ”

Sun Ce said: "Nai Lu Su is also. ”

"Lu Su, is that him?" Zhang Lang was surprised, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and there was a bang in his head, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Isn't this Yueyang Tower?" ”
