As soon as the boat docked, Li Jiangyao flew and jumped out. The war was urgent, and he did not want to delay for a moment.

Han Wenhao took out the horses hidden in advance from the woods, and said, "Changzhou has already started a war, we have to go around in a big circle to get over." ”

Li Jiangyao turned his head to look at Lei Yu and asked with concern, "How are you?" Can you still ride a horse? ”

Lei Yu replied loudly: "After raising it on the boat for a day and a night, it's no big deal." ”

Li Jiangyao knew that he was holding on, so he couldn't help but nod gratefully, and then waved his hand to greet everyone: "All get on the horse, hurry up!" ”

The white-robed army was well-trained, and immediately moved quickly when they heard the order. The location they are now in is a small wharf on the north side of Taihu Lake, about 70 miles away from Changzhou, even if they take a detour to avoid the main battlefield, they can successfully reach the Zhenjiang army camp in one day.

The group landed at noon, quickly whipped up, and walked north along the edge of the battlefield, and when they approached the city of Changzhou, the sky was gradually darkening.

As he was walking, the scout in charge of the path came back to report that he had found traces of the rebels two miles away. The other party's actions are very secretive, revealing a sneaky smell.

Li Jiangyao's heart moved, and he ordered everyone to wait in the dense forest by the roadside for the time being, and he went over to explore first. Needless to say, Han Wenhao must follow his peers, and Lei Yu, who had just joined the Zhenjiang Army, also proposed to accompany Dadu Hu.

Li Jiangyao thought about it and nodded in agreement, so the three of them took two scouts and quietly touched the front.

As the scout had said, a group of suspicious rebels had apparently just left Changzhou City, and were heading north along the dense forest. They didn't walk very fast, on the one hand, because they deliberately hid their tracks and the mountain roads were difficult to walk; On the other hand, it is because these people are carrying wooden boxes, and the weight slows down the speed.

By the afterglow of the setting sun, Thunderstorm who was hiding in the shadows recognized it at a glance, and those boxes were all marked by their Thunderbolt Hall.

Li Jiangyao was overjoyed when he heard this, this must be some kind of conspiracy and trickery that the rebels were planning to do, and they were unlucky, so they happened to bump into them halfway.

He asked Thunderstorm in a low voice, "What's in those boxes?" How does it work? Is it powerful? ”

The thunderstorm probe looked at it for a long time, and replied in a low voice: "It seems that they should all be shipped from the Gusu Workshop." In the Thunderbolt Hall, they are responsible for the first few processes of gunpowder saltpeter, which are coarse and shallow materials, and if they want to turn them into thunderbolts, heavenly fire darts, or red flame crows, they still need to be reprocessed in the main hall. ”

Li Jiangyao was curious: "So, those things can't be used yet?" ”

"It depends on how you use it." Thunderstorm replied, "If there is enough accumulation, it only needs to be ignited by an open flame to form an explosion and a fire, which is equally powerful." ”

Li Jiangyao nodded solemnly and waved his hand slightly: "Follow up and see what they want to do." ”

-

"General Du, most of them are here!"

"Where?" Du Jian jumped up directly from his seat: "Where are most of the protection?" ”

Li Jiangyao lifted the curtain and strode in: "General Du, don't come unharmed." ”

Du Jian was as happy as if he was something, rushed over and smiled: "Boss! Where did you go before? But we're in a hurry! ”

Xiong Yunjie also came to the front and gave a standard military salute, and his joy was beyond words.

Li Jiangyao glanced around and asked, "What about Duan Jun?" ”

Seeing that Dadu Hu asked, Du Jian hurriedly told Li Jiangyao about the strategy that the three of them had discussed before.

After listening, Li Jiangyao immediately ordered: "Go, quickly call Duan Jun back, Sun Chuanshu will not sneak attack the baggage camp." ”

Du Jian and Xiong Yunjie looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't understand why Li Jiangyao would make such a judgment.

Li Jiangyao called Lei Yu to the front, introduced Du Jian and the others, and then carefully introduced the situation they saw on the road, and finally analyzed: "The rebels have planted a large number of Perak Hall firearms not far from Changzhou City, obviously trying to lure you there and ignite and detonate them. In this way, it would be impossible for him to sneak up on the baggage camp in the rear, because then he would be easily intercepted halfway through, and all ambushes would be lost. ”

Du Jian scratched his head: "Then where will he sneak attack?" ”

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "Do you need to say it?" The preferred target, of course, is your main camp of General Du. ”

After that, he pointed to the sand table and analyzed carefully: "Sun Chuanshu's troops are far inferior to ours, so normally, he should not give up the easy and the difficult to attack the main camp." But it is precisely because of this that the rebels' sneaking is more sudden and more likely to provoke you. Once you launch a counterattack and the enemy takes advantage of the situation to escape, will you chase after it at that time? ”

Du Jian glanced at Xiong Yunjie first, and then nodded: "Most likely they will chase." Especially if the rebels really succeed and disrupt the camp, I will definitely not be able to suppress my temper. ”

Xiong Yunjie also agreed: "It seems that Daduhu is right, the enemy deliberately planted a large number of firearms, obviously trying to lure us to chase after us and send us to death." Dadu Hu, what should we do next, please tell me. ”

Li Jiangyao looked at Du Jian with a smile: "Xu Shuai had an order before, the main commander of the Changzhou front line is Du Jian, how to fight the battle in the future, listen to him." ”

Du Jian thought seriously for a while, and shouted loudly: "Pass my order, all the troops left behind in the big camp are assembled and ready to fight!" ”

-

In the dark of night, a group of soldiers and horses dressed in black clothes and black armor, and even their helmets were specially dyed black, sneaked out of Changzhou City, and marched north along the corner between the attached city and the sparse forest.

Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they boldly crossed the junction of the Second Army and the Fifth Army of Zhenjiang, and walked a distance of seven or eight miles before coming to the vicinity of the main camp of Zhenjiang.

As far as the eye could see, the soldiers in the camp had fallen asleep at this time, and there was silence everywhere, except for the occasional crackling of the bonfire.

Although the patrol posts of the large battalion were still very vigilant and highly alert, the number was not large, and it was obvious that the defenders of Changzhou City did not take it to heart.

The deputy general of the rebel army secretly observed for a while, gradually relieved himself, and then whispered to his subordinates: "Wait and listen to my orders, directly attack the camp gate, and then kill all the way, it is best to hit Du Jian's main tent." If they launch a counterattack, they will follow General Sun's strategy, immediately retreat, and lead the Zhenjiang army to chase along the set route, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Several of the officers leading the team agreed in unison.

The lieutenant nodded and motioned for his men to return to their respective teams. After waiting for another moment, he suddenly drew his long knife and urged his horse: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

In an instant, the woods suddenly burst into the sound of killing, and thousands of rebels brandished their weapons and swooped down on the camp of the Zhenjiang army.

When the guards guarding the gate saw this, they immediately panicked and ran wildly into the camp while shouting warnings.

However, the rebels were well prepared and moved too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they captured the gate and then rushed towards the core of the camp.

The men deliberately caused chaos, throwing torches everywhere along the way, igniting the surrounding tents. Strangely, even as the tents burned one after the other, no screams of exclamation could be heard.

The rebels rushed inside for a distance of three or four hundred paces, only to finally realize that something was wrong. The deputy general who led the team was suddenly shocked in his heart: It's bad, there is no expected counterattack here, it's a damn trick!

At this moment, a dense and strange sound of breaking the sky suddenly came from mid-air. Immediately afterward, countless arrows slashed through the darkness and shrouded the face, shooting the rebels from the camp to the ground.

At the same time as the arrows hit, countless torches lit up on the periphery of the entire camp, and the rebels were blocked in the camp, and there were Zhenjiang troops on all sides!

With the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the soldiers of Zhenjiang surged like a wave, and there were bright swords and spears everywhere, and the roaring iron horses rushed closer and closer.

In the blink of an eye, the frightened rebels were completely drowned by the angry sea.

-

"General, what's going on? Still haven't moved? A rebel lieutenant couldn't help but ask, looking at the dark fields outside the city.

Just now, the distant horizon was blazing, and the faint shouting of killing could be heard at the head of Changzhou City.

Obviously, the soldiers and horses who went to steal the camp succeeded.

However, according to the plan, not long after they attacked the camp of the Zhenjiang army, they should collect their troops and retreat, feigning defeat and retreating to lure the other side's pursuers to the ambush area.

Calculate the time, the earth-shattering explosion should have sounded a long time ago.

But until now, the ambush site, where a large number of Perak Tong firearms were planted, was still quiet.

Don't......

Sun Chuanshu's face gradually became gloomy, and he secretly worried: Could it be that the other party saw his intentions and did not send troops to pursue him? No, even if Du Jian doesn't chase after him, the soldiers and horses who went to attack the enemy camp should also come back at this time, why haven't you even seen a single figure now?

With a full 6,000 combat power, it shouldn't be eaten by the Zhenjiang Army, right?

If this is the case, then the other party will never be suddenly attacked and rushed to fight tonight, but has already prepared and spread the net, specially laid an ambush, and waited for himself to be sent to the door!

Damn, is Du Jian so powerful?!

Sun Chuanshu slapped the battlements at the head of the city and said angrily: "Lao Chen is estimated to be in trouble, and the Zhenjiang army is cheating!" ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, several generals and lieutenants around him have already noticed it, but they don't dare to find out, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one answered.

At this time, it would be stupid to touch the moldy head of the main general.

Sun Chuanshu stared ahead, stunned for a long time before he said to himself, "What went wrong?" Secret agents? Traitor? Leaked military intelligence in advance? ”

After a while, he shook his head again: "It shouldn't be." The specific steps are only known to me and Vice General Chen, and the soldiers and horses under his command were only notified when they set off tonight, and there was no time to report the news. Could it be that Du Jian is really a clever plan, and he actually guessed my plan? ”

The men looked at each other, not knowing what to say, when an officer hurried up to the city and reported:

"The soldiers and horses in ambush were suddenly outflanked by the Zhenjiang army, and the firearms were all captured by the other party before they could be ignited!"
