Adjutant Nan Chen said suspiciously: "Look at her neat and unstained clothes and her ability to move freely, it doesn't look like she was brutally injured by Shen Tangzhong......

Mu Jin only felt that his mind exploded, and he shook his head again and again in disbelief: "Impossible, Shen Tangzhong has always hated Yu Wensheng, if this Zheng Quqi stays obediently in the inner house, he may not do anything to her for the time being, but now she dares to marry her husband, and it is in front of Shen Tangzhong's eyes, with his arrogant and vengeful nature, he will definitely not let her go easily, unless——"

Unless the last two words affect his cognition and estimation too much, so that he is stuck in his throat for a while, and it is difficult to spit out smoothly.

Unless...... Shen Tangzhong was defeated and lost to a country girl who had never even been on the battlefield once.

He narrowed his cold eyes: "There must be something strange about this Ye country camp!" ”

Adjutant Nan Chen said with a hint of luck: "General, only Zheng Quqi came out alone, maybe the rest of the Ye army was really destroyed......

Mu Jin glanced at him fiercely: "Don't think about it, Lao Tzu has fought for so many years, how many strange things have been seen, nothing is impossible, there is not only one smart person in this world, and no one else is stupid, now that I think about it, this Zheng Quqi can win the famous Jichun Craftsman Union leader in the Seven Kingdoms, there must be some way, this general is not afraid that she will come to the real knife and gun, but only worried that she will play some tricks that are not in the stream." ”

"Then what should we do, send someone to investigate first?" Adjutant Nan Chen said worriedly.

Mu Jin thought for a moment and ordered: "Send a few people with quick hands and feet to sneak into the Egret Lake and go around to the rear of the Ye army to investigate the situation." ”

Adjutant Nan Chen hurriedly responded: "Okay, my subordinates will do it immediately." ”

Mu Jin twisted his neck, raised his chin and stared coldly at the Ye army camp, looking at the other party for only one day, but he didn't clear the messy cover around, remove possible spies, didn't organize troop patrols, and there was no gate and ladder platform, there were no open and dark sentry posts, but instead built a barrier that actually had no defensive properties, crooked and slanted guard towers, their only use, presumably just to hide people's eyes.

Mu Jin laughed, his eyes showing disdain: "Only people who have no real skills will choose to engage in such shady means behind their backs, but in the face of absolute strength, the paper tiger will only be torn." ”

After a while, Adjutant Nan Chen trotted back: "General, five scouts have been sent to secretly sneak into the Ye camp from the shore of the Western Lake to investigate the situation. ”

"Well, by the way, keep an eye on the two white wolves at the gate of Yeying, and report it immediately if there is a situation."

Yes?

Adjutant Nan Chen looked stunned, not understanding what Commander Mu meant.

After not sleeping all night, Mu Jin planned to take this opportunity to go to the grass for a while.

But not long after falling into the darkness, he suddenly suspected that someone was there, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Adjutant Nan Chen.

He let out a light breath and frowned, "When?" ”

"It's been half an hour."

Mu Jin rubbed his swollen eyebrows, got up from the grass, and patted the grass clippings on his body: "How is it?" ”

Adjutant Nan Chen shook his head and said heavily, "They have never returned. ”

"Is there an emergency signal?"

"Not yet."

Mu Jin was silent for a while, his eyes contemplative.

Adjutant Nan Chen said again: "After Zheng Quqi fed the two white wolves, the people went in, and only the two white wolves were put to guard the door, and my watchtower and patrol guards were not there, as if the Ye army camp was just an empty shell." ”

Mu Jin stepped forward and said, "Wait another half an hour, if they haven't come back, or if there is still no movement in the Ye army camp, then we will attack." ”

"Attack?" Adjutant Nan Chen looked surprised: "But, but I haven't figured out the other party's ...... yet."

"It's just pretending to be a ghost and playing tricks, she Zheng Quqi is at most a trick trap, and she can't do any real tactics at all, as long as we debunk their tricks and completely smash those camouflage methods, she will have nothing to do."

When Adjutant Nan Chen heard this, he thought it was true: "Then everything is subject to the general's orders." ”

Half an hour later, the scouts sent by Mu Jin and them still did not return, and they seemed to have fallen into the mouth of a pitch-black abyss, swallowed silently, and did not even bubble up.

"It seems that Shen Tangzhong is really capsized in the gutter, if he really caught our people, he will definitely come out of the camp to confront and show off with this general, only Zheng Quqi is waiting to invite you into the urn."

Mu Jin and Shen Tangzhong have known each other for several years, they seem to be enemies and friends, and they know each other best.

"So what should we do now?"

"Isn't she afraid to go head-to-head with us? Then we're going to make them have to fight. The corners of Mu Jin's mouth hooked up a sinister smile.

Adjutant Nan Chen had followed Mu Jin for so long, and he suddenly knew what he meant.

"Is the general planning to gather troops to attack and destroy its perimeter first, forcing them to be exposed to the field of vision, and without that layer of cover, they have to come forward to fight?"

"What's more, this time, our 6,000 troops, in addition to leaving 2,000 to guard the camp and baggage supplies, the remaining 4,000 troops, 600 axe soldiers, 200 equipment soldiers, 1,000 heavy infantry, 1,02 short-bladed soldiers, and 1,000 halberd soldiers, in addition to the 2,500 troops brought by the commander, the others are temporarily arranged in other positions, but I have summoned the equipment soldiers and heavy infantry earlier, and they have already pushed two catapults to arrive."

"Attacking each other from afar, wonderful, let's see how their Ye army responds." Adjutant Nan Chen said happily.

——

Yejun camp

Zheng Quqi and a group of soldiers who hid behind the wall of the fortress pointed out from the small hole to detect the situation, which was specially inserted in advance with a reed pole, and when the wall was slightly dry, it could leave inconspicuous small holes.

To tell the truth, the role of the watchtower scout was built to confuse the enemy from the beginning, and the construction was rough, saving time, effort and materials.

They dug trenches to dig huge pits for them to bury people as cover, otherwise the extra mud would arouse suspicion.

As for not sending troops to patrol, not organizing personnel to sweep the surrounding environment and clean up obstacles, it was all because there was no need, yes, she had long known that someone was investigating their situation, and she knew that Ye Guo was definitely the first place where leeks were cut.

So knowing that no matter what she does, the enemy will come or sneak attack or attack, why should she guard against it?

Anyway, being remembered by the "thief", I can't prevent it.

She simply turned passive into active, no matter which way the other party came, she planned in advance to deal with it.

Yuan Xingzhou analyzed with her that although the five countries all had the intention of aggression against the Ye State, their practices were different, and the commanders also had personalities and styles of action.

There are treacherous villains who intend to seize and sneak attack, there are despicable and fierce people who will not give the enemy any breathing space, act fiercely, press step by step, and of course, there are also people who emphasize equal strength and attack head-on.

In short, what he meant was that the five nations joined forces to attack her camp, and there was no possibility, she would at most defend one or two waves of offensives, and then it would be time for a buffer.

Therefore, she worked hard, rushing day and night, and even Yuan Xingzhou left most of the troops for her to drive in order to ensure that she could be safe, who would have thought that the soldiers who killed the enemy on the battlefield on weekdays would become dusty craftsmen one by one in her hands.

"Adjutant Zheng, will this Nan Chen Kingdom attack?"

Zheng Quqi looked serious: "...... It's hard to say. ”

Ask her?

How did she know that she was not a roundworm in Shen Jin's belly.

But now that she is an adjutant, she can't ask three questions and not know, it's too embarrassing, she has to pretend to be deep and let them guess.

"Maybe they were frightened by the disappearance of Hongshengguo and chose to retire temporarily?"

Zheng Quqi shook his head: "It's unlikely." ”

"Then they're still going to attack?"

Is it necessary to ask back and forth? Zheng Quqi reminded according to the advice given by her sixth sense: "It's best to be prepared for them to attack at any time." ”

As soon as she said this, she saw Ye Guo's sad face and twisted face, and she suddenly became energetic.

"We've burned the stones!"

"The armies and shields are ready."

"The others are in place."

Seeing that they were all in high spirits and eager to charge forward immediately, Zheng Quqi felt strange, and she asked, "Are you not afraid now?" ”

Obviously, before this, they were insensitive to the war, as if they were lying flat and laughing at something they couldn't resist, but now when they look at them, their faces and eyes are bright, as if the living dark people are trying to crawl towards the place where there is light.

"I'm afraid, but I seem to think we can win."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Of course, more importantly, although they do not usually boast of how proud they are to be soldiers, they would rather charge and kill the enemy and fight bravely than be carpenters and masons, and do miscellaneous manual work.

After listening to this, Zheng Quqi was also deeply affected by them, and his drowsiness and sleepiness were swept away at once, and his ambition was bursting: "Yes, keep this mentality, because I also think we can win." ”

——

As soon as this Ye Jun finished expressing his passionate emotions and turned his head, someone came to report urgently: "It's here!" Adjutant Zheng, they really put aside their doubts and chose to attack head-on. ”

When Zheng Quqi heard this, before she had time to feel a sigh, she fell in love with a group of soldiers who were nervous, waiting for her to speak.

She sank her heart into her stomach at once, and said calmly: "These people have never taken Ye Guo in their eyes at all, of course they will not be scared away casually, and I have expected this kind of result." ”

Her attitude and look affect the mentality and spirit of the vast majority of soldiers, she can't mess up, because the people below are arranged by her, and she can't panic, because if she panics, the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit and confidence.

She couldn't be afraid.

She was scared, so who else would support the burden of guarding the camp and ensure the safety of the rear of Yuan Xingzhou.

In the past and present lives, combined with only a young man in his twenties, Zheng Quqi has evolved from an ordinary little woman to the current strong woman with a steel-like tenacious will, relying on nothing else, just being forced by this ghost-like life.

"Anyway, everything went according to plan, do you understand?"

"Yes."

——

"Cast-"

Nan Chenguo's trebuchet continued to advance, and the power of this large instrument should not be underestimated, and Zheng Quqi knew what they had in mind at a glance.

At a distance of one or two hundred meters, they were preparing to launch catapults, and the hundred-pound large stones were five or six at once.

"The firing range is about two hundred and eight hundred to three hundred...... It seems that he wants to break down our barriers. ”

"How can they succeed, let us also go up."

"Our trebuchets don't have the range and power they have, but ...... As long as the weight is reduced, distance is not an issue. ”

"Put it on."

"Yes."

They were behind, Zheng Quqi behind the wall, measuring distance and range through the hole.

"Pour stones."

"Yes."

"Move fast."

"Yes."

——

Outside, Mu Jin's people were all called, and he immediately let the cumbersome and large instrument "flying stone" of the catapult in front of him and put on a posture.

"Ready."

After more than a dozen catapults were placed, and the direction and distance were debugged, Mu Jin was full of pride, waiting to smash Ye Ying to pieces.

However, things always backfired, and the soldiers of Nan Chen State were carrying a cart of heavy stones and preparing to put them on, but they didn't expect that the camp of Ye Guo, which had been quiet as a chicken, suddenly made a long and continuous sound.

Immediately afterward, the world fell like a rain of stones falling towards this head.

"The Ye army has sneak attacked, cover quickly!"

Splashes of stones rained down from the sky, and they swept over to find that they had fallen fist-sized stones, light in weight but large in number.

Their eyes widened to avoid the smashed bag and immediately hid next to the trebuchet, but they did not realize that the stones were far from being as "weak and harmless" as they seemed.

They fall on the body, painfully, but not fatal, when it hits the skin more deadly, it is a heart-rending burn.

If you don't brush it off in time, not only will your clothes be burned out of a hole, but your skin will also be scalded out of large blisters.

The stones were scattered and scattered, and soon a sufficient amount of heat fell on the catapult, and it made a "boom-woo-" sound.

When Nan Chenjun realized that this was not a simple stone, but the kind of flint that had been burned to the point that it could burn off a layer of skin, when he smelled the scorching smell wafting from the catapult, he immediately stood up and subconsciously brushed off the stones that fell on the trebuchet with his hands, so as not to cause heavy losses.

Who would have thought that there were even fiery red charcoal cubes mixed in it, and if it was delayed for a long time, the weather would be dry and dry, and the instruments made of wood would definitely be ignited by the fire.

Mu Jin retreated to the side and shouted, "Come up and help!" ”

In the end, after a flustered hand, Nan Chenbing's hands were scalded with big blisters one after another, and he was in pain, and he couldn't use the catapult anymore.

The operation of the equipment requires long-term training, for aiming, the set orientation, spacing, and the pull and rotation of the hand bar, the strength of its arms is particularly developed, in order to complete this series of operations in a very short time without mistakes.

However, now that the equipment soldiers have injured their hands, it is obvious that they can no longer operate the trebuchet as usual, which makes Mu Jin, who was determined to pay attention to smashing the Ye camp at the beginning, be so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He had just prepared the catapult here, and the corresponding countermeasures had already been prepared on the other side, and now if he still thought that Zheng Quqi was a pustule that didn't understand anything, he would have to pump himself twice.

But this level of counterattack still didn't have a big impact on Mu Jin, and he stepped on the charcoal that fell from his feet: "They think we can't use catapults, so there's no way?" (End of chapter)
