At the fourth watch, the fog in the mountains and forests is very heavy, and a trace of coolness also hits the heart, which always makes people shiver, and it is still strange to say, it was originally the night of the fifteenth, and the moonlight should still be quite bright. But somehow, the moonlight in the first half of the night was still so bright and bright, clear and icy, and after the third watch, the whole sky seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable haze, which was particularly depressing. From time to time, there was a dull loud noise, which caused the earth to shake as well.

A huge procession marched quickly on the road, although the specific number of people could not be seen under the heavy haze and night, but there was no noise at all, everything was operating in an orderly manner. This is obviously a well-trained elite division, but it is in a hurry at the fourth watch, but I don't know why.

"General, where are we going? Why did you quietly gather the army in the middle of the night and tell us not to put away the tents? A burly man, wearing a heavy armor, asked a middle-aged man with a purple and gold helmet on his head and a hundred battle armor beside him.

The middle-aged man chuckled, a pair of tiger eyes seemed to be able to flash a strange light in the dark night, so wise, and so profound, the middle-aged man said: "Shi Er, can't you learn from your eldest brother's stability? You have been following me for many years, why can't you change your curious and impulsive surname?"

The strong man smiled, his expression was quite embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head with his big hand, and by the way, he secretly glanced at a figure not far away, and said: "General, you also know that I have this temper, I can't change it, my eldest brother is a little smarter than me, just a little bit, don't look at the calm look on his face now, in fact, he is more curious than me." ”

This army is naturally the kamikaze army stationed on the outskirts of Tianyang Town, and the man in the middle is Jin Cheng, the general of the unified army, and the one who follows him is naturally Shi Er among the Shi family brothers. Tens of thousands of people, cavalry, heavy infantry, scout guards and other branches of the army all quietly advanced in the night, the army advanced all the way, but there was not the slightest suspicious sound, even the horses of the cavalry were silent, and the horses' paws were covered with thick linen. With such a quality of the army, it can also be seen that Jin Cheng's ability to command the army is extraordinary, and it is precisely because of this that the prestige of the kamikaze army has made the surrounding countries extremely jealous of it.

When Jin Cheng heard Shi Er's words, he turned his head and glanced at Shi Da, and then said, "No, your eldest brother doesn't have so many questions in his eyes, I don't believe you can ask him." ”

Shi Er turned around and asked, "Big brother, did you say that you were also thinking about the question I just said." ”

"No!" Shi Da replied succinctly and crisply, without even turning his head.

"Then what are you thinking?" Shi Er was puzzled.

"I don't think about anything, just follow the general, whatever the general says, the general always has his ideas. ”

Jin Cheng glanced at Shi Da with interest and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then Shi Da, you might as well guess what I want to do." ”

Shi Da nodded at Jin Cheng and said, "The subordinates will talk nonsense, don't take it to heart if you say the wrong general." ”

With a wave of his hand, Jin Cheng said, "It's okay, you can tell me your opinion." ”

Shi Da glanced at the dark sky without a trace of starlight, took a breath, and said: "We rushed to Tianyang, stationed for two days, but did nothing, but suddenly abandoned all the supplies in the camp tonight, and marched more than ten miles in the middle of the night at the third watch, obviously with a purpose. ”

Jin Cheng smiled and nodded, but did not make a sound, motioning for Shi Da to continue.

Shi Da continued: "From this point of view, after the analysis of our subordinates, we are probably stationed here a few days ago to cover up a kind of appearance, although we sent out the army tonight, but the tent in the camp has not been moved at all, obviously to continue to cause a situation where we are still stationed in Tianyang, there are only two situations when the army is out in the middle of the night, one is the transfer of military orders, and the other is siege or sneak attack, but I prefer the latter. ”

"Oh, Shi Da, you have a heart, you can tell me the reason why you are inclined to the latter. A few appreciative glances flashed in Jin Cheng's eyes.

It is easy to see that the general likes to put the cavalry in front of the heavy armor soldiers when marching normally, because it is convenient to give full play to the rapid surname ability of the cavalry, so that when there is an emergency, the cavalry can strike first, but today the general ordered the deployment of the marching team is the heavy armor first, and most of the cavalry is placed in the second half of the team, which shows that the general has a planned goal today. Moreover, a dozen or so brothers in the scouts were not in the ranks today, and it was clear that the general had already sent them out. ”

After hearing this, Jin Cheng laughed, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Shi Da, don't look at you like five big and three thick, but your heart is very fine, then tell me about it, where am I going this time, and what is my goal?"

"This" Shi Da hesitated slightly, and seemed a little uncertain.

Jin Cheng seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Alas, even if you say yes, just analyze and analyze, this is not an important meeting, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”

Jin Cheng's words were like a reassuring pill, Shi Da immediately dispelled his worries, and said: "My subordinates have carefully studied the geographical environment around Tianyang, Tianyang Town is backed by Qixia Mountain, sitting in the north and facing south, we are traveling all the way to the northeast and the farther and closer to the waterway lifeline 'Qingsha River' that flows through Tianyang, this river is just a tributary of the 'Manglong River' that is the boundary between my Yunguo and Tianchu Kingdom in the north. If there is a target to smuggle from the 'Manglong River' into the 'Qingsha River', it can be directly inserted into the inland part of my Xiangyun country. However, the banks of the 'Qingsha River' are all lofty mountains and mountains, and they also have to flow through several heavily guarded checkpoints, so the target will not be so stupid and directly hit our guns. ”

Shi Da pointed to the mountain range in front of him with his hand, and said: "But there is a 'Vicious Wolf Valley' a few miles ahead, and there is a flat shore suitable for landing a few miles away from this Vicious Wolf Valley, and the Evil Wolf Valley happens to be the place where the road must pass outward. After speaking, he glanced at Jin Cheng's expression, thinking that he wanted to see some answer.

This remark made Shi Er on the side stunned for a while, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, and slapped his big hand excitedly: "Oh, big brother, you are simply a god, you can guess such a complicated step, how did you do it?"

Shi Da glanced at Shi Er angrily, he understood that his younger brother was a good hand at charging into battle, but what he was not good at was thinking of any plan, so he said: "I have been following the general for a long time, and I can figure it out a little bit more or less, and besides, the general hasn't spoken yet, how do you know if my guess is right." ”

Jin Cheng tightened the reins of the horse in his hand, looked in the direction of the 'Evil Wolf Valley', and said: "Shi Da has already said everything I want to say, pass on my military order, within half a pillar of incense, the second column of heavy armor, the third column, and the first battalion of cavalry will be ambushed behind the valley, and it must be done without showing the slightest trace." The bow battalion ambushed me high in the valley, and the rest of the troops hid me on the outskirts of the valley, and all actions were signaled by my arrows. ”

"Yes. Several adjutants around him immediately received orders to retreat and went to arrange specific matters.

"Shi Da, Shi Er, you two will protect Qing'er for me, if he has any mistakes, I will ask you. Jin Cheng turned his head to the Shi family brothers and solemnly explained, and after speaking, he glanced at Zhao Qing, who was asleep in Shi Da's arms.

Since the beginning of the night, Zhao Qing, who was often noisy and had to sleep until midnight, rested early today, even when he quietly evacuated from the camp just now, Jin Cheng couldn't wake him up no matter how he screamed, so he had no choice but to let Shi Da carry him on the horse. Looking at Xiao Zhao Qing who was asleep, Jin Cheng always felt as if something was happening to him, but Jin Cheng couldn't say what it was.

It was a vague feeling, plausible, Jin Cheng always felt that there was something in Zhao Qing's body, could it really be because the whole village was slaughtered by horse bandits? No, Jin Cheng deeply felt that it was by no means that simple.

The whole Evil Wolf Valley is really like a fierce hungry wolf mouth, except for the two narrow passages and exits in front and back, the bottom of the valley is surrounded by cliffs, only a few dirt bags that are not too high, the valley is rugged, inaccessible, and the weeds are growing to the waist. It is now about four and a half o'clock, and at the time of early winter, the sky is still dark, and the terrain in the valley is low, and it is even darker than the five fingers.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of grass stirring, and the number of people listening to the movement seemed to be not a minority.

"Commander, the news of our actions to Yunguo this time is very strictly blocked, why be so careful. "There was a voice in the night.

"What do you know, this is called being careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, after all, we are on other people's territory, once there is any rumor, people can just mobilize a few teams to make dumplings for all our thousands of eight hundred people. A dull, hoarse voice reprimanded.

"Yes, it's still the commander you think thoughtfully, but we're so slow, it's going to be dawn, once the sky is bright, then our team is really conspicuous, although we changed into the military uniform of the Xiangyun army before, but if people interrogate carefully, we will still show our feet!" The previous voice continued.

"That's why I deliberately released the news that we were going to steal in from Tianyang, so that Xiang Yunguo's attention was all there, so that we could spread our hands and feet here, who would have expected them to transfer the 'kamikaze army' to the wrong place by mistake, haha, this is God help me, forgive him Jin Cheng's clever calculation, it is impossible to calculate my card, who knows that the news we released is fake, hahaha" The hoarse voice seemed to be extremely proud, and he laughed out loud in the dark night.

Suddenly, there was a flattering figure beside him who began to flatter, and said: "Gao, the commander's plan is really high, in the first half of the night, we also received a message that Jin Cheng was still stupidly stationed on the periphery of Tianyang City waiting for us to go, I used to always hear how he is so powerful, but now it seems that he is not a little bit worse than the commander of you." ”

"Come on, don't talk nonsense, tell the brothers to speed up, our mission this time is to send things to the front line of Yaoyue's attack on Xiangyun, once it is successfully completed, we will make a detour from Yaoyue and turn back, and after we go back, we will be indispensable to the benefits of all of you. The hoarse voice retracted from its frenzy and said in a positive voice.

Just about to make a move, only to hear a voice shouted violently, and exclaimed loudly: "It's not good, the weeds here seem to have traces of pressing, although they were deliberately helped up afterwards, but they can still see the traces, ah, this is the special combat boots made by the heavy armor soldiers of Xiangyun Kingdom, not good, everyone quickly withdraw We may plant an ambush." A shrill voice pierced the night, and when he shouted like this, a louder noise suddenly came out.

"Squeak" A bright red rocket suddenly pierced into the air from the valley mouth, and then exploded, leaving a large area of bright spark debris flying all over the sky, which was beautiful but had a more solemn taste.

Almost as soon as the rocket took off in the air, countless bright torches lit up in front of and outside the entire Wolf Valley, there were tens of thousands, and these torches were added with special pine grease, and the flames that burned out were particularly bright. In an instant, the whole valley was illuminated as bright as day, and in the firelight, a large banner more than three people high was unfurled in the wind, and the two large embroidered gold characters 'kamikaze' seemed to become abnormal to this person's eyes.

Under the military flag, a tall and straight figure was like a piercing sword, just staring coldly at the prey below, his eyes calm but with a fierce surname as restrained as a beast.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Jin Cheng opened coldly, and the male was domineering, suppressing the audience for a while.

At this time, there was a team of more than 1,000 people wearing Xiangyun [***] uniforms in the Evil Wolf Valley, led by a strong man with ringed leopard eyes, wearing a bright armor, and carrying a nine-ring ghost-headed broadsword at his waist.

"Jin Cheng, why did you come here? Aren't you stationed in Tianyang Town?" the strong man asked through gritted teeth, the team behind him was nervously turning heads and ears at this time, and they were in a mess, some people wanted to retreat back and forth, but when they came, Gu Wei didn't know when it was full of thousands of heavy armor infantry. The spears lit up by these infantry alone were enough to discourage them, not to mention the fact that there were an unknown number of cavalry behind the infantry, even if they forcibly broke through the blockade, how could they escape the pursuit of the cavalry because they had no horses.

There are more than 10,000 men and horses in front of the interception, there are heavy armor in the back, cavalry is pressing, and there are more than 1,000 strong crossbow archers on several highlands in the valley.

Haha laughed, Jin Cheng said: "If you send me a false information, I will return you an empty camp, and the courtesy is still exchanged, saying, who ordered me to steal into the cloud realm?"

The strong man sneered: "You won't know, Lao Tzu is in your hands today, but you don't want to get anything from me." ”

"Is it! still so obsessed when death is on the verge of death?" Jin Cheng's tone changed, the killing intent was very deep, and as soon as he raised his big hand, all the infantry suddenly took a step forward, and the earth shook with a uniform pace, and the crossbowmen pulled away the strong bows in their hands one after another, and the battle seemed to be about to break out.
