Late at night, the camp of the Jing army.

The fire caused more damage than Lu Shen and Duan Zuozhang had estimated.

The living are more painful than those who die on the spot.

Burns and scalds were already very difficult injuries in this era, and although the accompanying military doctors prepared a large amount of wound medicine, there was no ointment to treat these two injuries.

Now that it is summer, the temperature is already high, and those injured who were affected by the strange fire cannot be treated in time, so they can only endure the heart-rending pain and struggle to support.

Qin Chun knew that the impact of this incident was very bad, so he had already issued a military order before the battle, ordering Sang Mai to take these wounded people to the rear of the camp and set up camp in another place for treatment.

Although these people did not return to the camp, it would not have too bad an impact on the surface, but there were too many Jing soldiers and soldiers who witnessed the tragic scene, and after discovering that the wounded were transferred away in advance, a dull and depressing atmosphere permeated the camp.

The candles in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army were bright, and Qin Chun gave a strong order to the generals, asking them to reverse the psychological state of his subordinates as soon as possible.

To this end, he revised his previous promise: as long as the city of Guangling was breached, all the soldiers could take revenge for their pleasure in the city until they received a new order from above, on the one hand, to boost morale, and on the other hand, in the name of avenging their comrades.

But at least tonight, the camp was still in a state of unrest.

In the middle of the night, time passed little by little.

Near the north gate of Guangling City, five hundred warriors stood awe-inspiring.

They all changed into the light armor prepared in the arsenal of the Guangling Army, and their weapons were different, some still used their own weapons, and some chose their favorite swords and guns from the arsenal.

Even though it still can't wash away the reckless breath, it has a faint bit of elite momentum.

For Lu Shen's recruitment, these people were very enthusiastic, one was naturally because of the atmosphere in the city now, and the other was that their respective family heads were very generous this time and had promised rich returns.

Lu Shen walked among them, his tone calm and powerful: "Although I have repeatedly asked for your ideas before, I still have to ask now, is there anyone I don't want to go?" Don't worry about the consequences, if you don't want to go, you will stay, and don't regret it when you are facing the enemy. Tonight I will take you out of the city and attack the camp, this is the task of nine deaths, escaping from the battle is equivalent to breaking military law in wartime, and then not only will you be in trouble, but you will also be implicated in your relatives. ”

Everyone replied neatly in a low voice: "No! ”

Lu Shen said as he walked: "Okay." If the camp can be successfully broken tonight, everyone will have a reward of silver, and the casualties will have another pension. If you don't come back, Zhan Fuzun and General Duan will personally give the silver to your family. ”

Outside the queue, the prefect Zhan Hui and the deputy commander Duan Zuozhang stood side by side, and when they heard the words, they took over and said: "What Lu Ganban said is true, you strong men can rest assured." ”

The solemn faces of the crowd were a little more excited.

Lu Shen said again: "In addition to the silver reward, if this battle is won, it will be recorded in the military merit book, and those who fight bravely will accept the rewards of the imperial court like the soldiers who defend the city during the day." ”

After all, he is not a professional soldier who is forbidden by order, and there is no way to be strict in the rules, even if someone takes the initiative to respond: "Lord Lu, we will definitely fight to the death!" ”

Lu Shen took a deep breath and said awe-inspiringly: "Ready to go!" ”

Zhan Hui looked at the young man walking towards him, and stopped talking a few times.

He knew that Lu Tong attached great importance to this only son, but at the moment the situation in Guangling was difficult, no one could be left alone, if he insisted on not letting Lu Shen lead the attack on the camp because of his personal relationship, then why would others do such a dangerous thing?

It is not difficult to distinguish which is more important than the other.

It's just that when they were about to separate, Zhan Hui couldn't help but mutter: "Try to be careful." ”

Lu Shen saluted: "Thank you for your care." ”

Duan Zuozhang, who was standing next to him, reminded: "Respond to the situation, don't fall in love." ”

Lu Shen responded: "Obey." ”

Then say goodbye.

The two looked at his back, and Duan Zuozhang suddenly said, "Fuzun, do you know who I think of now?" ”

Zhan Hui asked, "Who?" ”

Duan Zuozhang lowered his voice with a complicated expression: "Yang Guangyuan Yang Dashuai." ”

Zhan Hui was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Why did the general say this?" ”

Duan Zuozhang said softly: "Yang Dashuai's first battle was to lead thousands of horsemen to gallop in the starry night, raid the Jinglian cavalry station, gallop across the enemy several times his own, and behead the second uncle of the current Emperor Jing. The change of Yuanjia, the whole country and the magnates rushed south, if Yang Dashuai did not ...... How could the Jinghe defense line be useless? ”

At the end of the words, there were already three points of grief and indignation.

The cooperation during this period of time has made the two a lot closer, but there is not much friendship in the past, Duan Zuozhang's words naturally seem to be shallow and profound, and it also makes Zhan Hui feel surprised, this deputy commander does not look like a rude and arrogant character.

Duan Zuozhang had come back to his senses at this moment, but he didn't pretend to be false, and said calmly: "Duan was angry at a certain time, which made Fu Zun laugh. ”

Zhan Hui sighed lightly: "What the general said, this official also feels it, but Yang Dashuai's case is related to the dignity of the heavenly family, and it is better not to mention it in front of outsiders in the future." ”

Duan Zuozhang clasped his fists and saluted, and then said, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

"Don't dare."

Zhan Hui returned the salute.

At this moment, the north gate had been opened, and five hundred horsemen slowly entered the interior of the urn city.

Lu Shen took the lead, on the left was Lin Xi, who was hanging a short knife from his waist and holding a horse chopping knife, and on the right was Li Chengen, who was carrying a spear - Lu Shen thought that his usual weapon was a knife, but tonight he realized that he only brought a knife because of convenience, and his master passed down a set of extremely domineering marksmanship.

Behind are nearly 100 masters mainly from the Lu Family Nursing Academy, these people have entered the stage of turning qi into strength, and they can be called real martial artists on the rivers and lakes. In the future, more than 300 people are basically in the stage of Qi training, that is, Lu Shen's state before he comprehends the Xuan Sutra, which is not as good as a first-class master, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.

In fact, Lu Shen had reservations about what he said yesterday afternoon, of course he wouldn't just take these five hundred people to go around the city.

The city gate on the side of the urn city slowly opened, and more than ten figures walked out, and the five hundred horsemen continued to stay in place and wait.

Those people were the masters of the green forest brought by Lin Xi, who took the lead in solving the sentinels arranged by Jing Jun on the periphery, led by Xi Jun, who had rich experience and excellent eyesight.

In addition to 20,000 soldiers, the Jing army outside the city also had thousands of auxiliary soldiers responsible for food, grass and logistics, and set up camp in the southwest of Guangling City.

The follow-up reinforcements and grain and grass are still coming to Guangling through the Wangmei Ancient Road, and it is expected to take six or seven days, but the grain and grass carried by this Jing army can last at least half a month, so Qin Chun is not in a hurry.

Because of the tight time and limited conditions, the Jingjun camp is not solid enough, but there is no shortage of arrangements.

Its battalion was divided into seven divisions, with 4,000 Chinese troops as a large battalion, 3,000 men each of the four armies in the front and rear, left and right, and 1,500 light cavalry in the east and west.

This information has long been discovered by the Guangling military sentry cavalry, and Lu Shen also knows it well, of course he will not want to attack the camp at night on a whim, and he has deduced it as much as possible according to the information he has in advance.

In the deep night, Lu Shen clenched the long knife in his hand and gradually adjusted his breathing.

Lin Xi turned his head sideways and looked at him quietly.

Lu Shen smiled slightly and said softly, "Senior sister, you don't seem to be nervous at all. ”

Lin Xi said: "I have been fighting people since I was twelve or thirteen years old, so I am used to fighting and fighting. It's surprising that you can be so calm, after all, you used to be just a rich boy, and you shouldn't have the experience of pinning your head to your belt from time to time. ”

Lu Shen thought for a while and said calmly: "That day in the yamen of the warp weaving department, I personally killed a fine work of the prosecutor's office, and I didn't react too violently at that time, maybe because I was relatively dull by nature. ”

For this answer, Lin Xi naturally won't believe it, but there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

I don't know how long it took, a figure returned to Wengcheng, came to Lu Shen and arched his hand: "Master Lu, Brother Xi has solved the outposts on the periphery, and we can go straight to the enemy's western camp." ”

Lu Shen bowed his head, and then handed a look to Li Chengen next to him.

The command was passed down by word of mouth, and soon reached the ears of five hundred people.

The gate of the urn city was completely opened, and Lu Shen took the lead, followed by Lin Xi and Li Chengen.

Five hundred horsemen wrapped in armor and marched through the night.

Between heaven and earth, there is silence.

From the north gate, go around the city in the northwest direction, after passing the undulating gentle slope outside the city, quietly approach the west camp of the Jing army, along the way are led by Lin Xi's men, on the way Jing Jun's secret posts have been quietly killed.

At that time, it was just two o'clock in the morning.

When he was about 100 zhang away from the opponent's camp, Lu Shen raised his left arm, and the people behind him followed him in turn, and the five hundred horsemen gradually began to speed up.

When they reached the edge of the village, the people brought by Xi Jun suddenly pulled out the antlers in unison, and everyone rode straight into the camp side by side!

The wind whipped up and roared.

"Kill!"

The Jing army sentry looked at the Qi cavalry that suddenly appeared outside the camp, his eyes suddenly flashed with horror, and he shouted with all his strength without thinking about it: "Enemy attack!" ”

However, it was too late.

Lin Xi held a horse chopping knife in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed closer, and the knife in his hand fell to a head.

On the other side, Li Chengen waved his spear, but he actually provoked a Jing soldier through, and then took a few steps before drawing the gun.

Lu Shen's lips were pursed, his horse galloped, and the long knife on the side of his body slashed down, slashing a Jing Jun from the cheek to the ribs.

Five hundred horsemen swept by like a swift wind, killing people when they saw them, and for a while the shouts were like a tide, and the western camp of the Jing army was in chaos!
