"The king's habit is to be both a military camp and a commander-in-chief, and he has to make routine checks every night...... Ahem......" King Chatai coughed and said solemnly, "Now that the king's body is gradually recovering, I will go to the camp tonight to inspect -"

"But Lord Wang, your injuries are not healed yet, Brother Sun Yun has also explained before......" Of course, Liang Qing was not worried that King Chatai would act alone, and said with a stern expression, "The night is cold and cold, Lord Wang, your injury has just improved, if you get sick at this time, it will be more than worth the loss——"

"Hmph, I'm not a delicate and frail woman, how can I stump this king with just a few cold and sickness?" Ahem, cough cough ......" Although the king of Chatai was still coughing, his attitude was very resolute, "Now that the army is close to the Xicang area, the enemy's troops will inevitably be eyeing the vicinity, especially patrolling at night, but they must not be sloppy!"

"But you are alone, you are still a little ......" If King Chatai orders in person, Liang Qing will not be able to refuse, but he is worried about the health and safety of King Chatai, Liang Qing still can't rest assured.

"Then you should accompany this king-" King Chatai looked at Liang Qing's upright face, there was an inexplicable feeling in the dark, and his expression changed, "Since you are a lieutenant in the army, you should also be responsible for night patrols, right?"

"That's ...... Of course......" Liang Qing looked at King Chatai's calm expression, and judged the two of them to be seriously injured and dying a few days ago, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"As long as this king is in the army for one day, he will not delay military affairs for a moment...... Ahem...... "King Chatai endured the old illness of his body, and said in a low voice, "Even the lieutenant colonel of the army should know his own duty, as the commander-in-chief, I am related to the lives of tens of millions of soldiers and even most of the people, and I can't slack off and relax...... Ahem...... Since you are worried about the safety of this king, then go on patrol with this king, and it just so happens that this king also has something to ask you......"

Liang Qing was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it for a few times, he nodded and responded: "Yes, the last general will obey the order-"

Immediately, the king of Chatai and Liang Qing, wearing armor and carrying knives, went out of the camp to inspect together......

In the middle of the night, the old field of rocks and ruins in front of Mengyuan's station......

He Xunyi had already led the vanguard troops, and under the cover of the night, he was hiding and ambushing around the chaotic rock mass, one hundred and eighty steps from the gate of the forbidden barracks, but he could wait quietly, and even Liang Qing's soldiers who were heavily guarded could not detect the breath. And tonight is the dark clouds covering the moon, the smoke and fire of the war that have not been exhausted, but also burying the bleak and desolate starlight, under the faint light of the campfire, there is no figure at all, but they don't know that a desperate danger is approaching the king of Chatai and the soldiers under Liang Qing's camp step by step......

"How are the preparations in several other places......" He Xunyi crouched under a rock mass at the front, wanted to know the situation of his troops, and asked secretly.

"Muslim Master, there is still one moment, when the branches in all directions of the enemy camp are ready, as long as the signal is given, our people will rush up on all sides, and the entire enemy camp will be surrounded......" The cronie replied in a low voice on the side, "It has been determined that the king of Chatai himself is in the camp, and if the night attack is successful tonight, the king will be successfully captured!"

"It's still careless, after all, the opponent is the King of Chatai, the person with the most rich military and political experience in the Mengyuan Dynasty, there can be no delay in the plan, it is best to directly attack his base camp and arrest him-" He Xunyi said sharply, "He was injured by an arrow for a few days, it is impossible to heal in such a short time, plus we have not moved in the past few days, the garrison of Mengyuan's army is lax, and he himself is recuperating from his injuries in the camp...... Determine where the base camp where he is resting, surround and attack in a while, and I will lead the leading troops to reach the base camp as quickly as possible!"

"Don't worry, sect leader, my subordinates have arranged for spies to infiltrate the enemy camp in the past few days, and they have all figured it out, including the location of the camp where the king of Chatai rested and recuperated...... "The cronies smiled confidently, "Wait a minute, the subordinates will lead the troops to lead the way, and the sect leader doesn't need to worry——"

"Good ......" He Xunyi just agreed coldly with an expressionless face, I don't know why, all the plans are under control, but there is an indescribable blockage in his heart - maybe it is because of the suspicion of the "mastermind behind the scenes" during the day, maybe he does not dare to underestimate the strength of the opponent, in short, under the night, He Xunyi's mood is like a firefly, deliberately flickering and burning, but it is unknown that it is bleak and bright......

At the garrison of the Mengyuan army, the king of Chatai and Liang Qing followed the inspection practice, and staggered the direction of the four lookouts in the camp as a branch, and relied on the point to investigate and supervise on time. And to live up to the expectations of the king of Chatai, Liang Qing's troops were strictly disciplined, and the soldiers were in high spirits at night, each stronghold had fortifications made of bricks and earth, and at least twenty or thirty soldiers were on duty at each pass in turn, and there were at least two leaders and deputy leaders.

In terms of the garrison, the number of sword and shield infantry and crossbowmen stationed was just right, and even if no enemy troops attacked, they were still in armor at night, and their weapons never left their hands. At least two soldiers stand guard on the watchtower, staring at the front and back of separation, and rotating the number of people every other hour to ensure that the soldiers are on duty at night and maintain a high level of mental concentration.

If you want to say that there is a fly in the ointment, it is the lack of the number of officers and men in the battalion, and the extreme shortage of war horse equipment, after all, Liang Qing is only a lieutenant of the garrison, and it is good to have such command and equipment of the troops. Don't look at the days when King Chatai was injured, Sun Yun was still in the camp, and every morning there were garrisons from all over the country to report, that was just other branches that rushed to support, not under the control of Liang Qing, ostensibly accepting orders to come to support King Chatai to show "concern", as soon as the enemy was at the moment, they retreated to the rear, even if the station where King Chatai was recuperating was so close to the enemy's position, there was no intention of asking for cover or reinforcements.

Only Liang Qing dared to come forward, with a small number of elite soldiers and horses, stationed in the area closest to Xicang, while protecting the safety of the king of Chatai, while constantly monitoring the movements of the enemy......

"The number of bows and arrows in the north camp is not enough, when the shift changes in a while, go to the reserve warehouse to get some over......" Inspecting the garrison section of the North Camp, Liang Qing personally checked the equipment of the guards at night, and ordered strictly, "Now the enemy's stronghold is only a few miles away from us, especially at night, there can be no slack in defense and monitoring!"

"But general, bow and arrow...... That's all there is to it......" replied the soldier with a little trepidation.

"What did you say?" Liang Qing couldn't help but ask condensedly when he heard this.

"When we went to the arsenal this morning, there were only so many bows and arrows allocated......," replied the soldier, "and not only us, but also the other three garrisons except the side of the western camp closest to the enemy stronghold...... The number of bows and arrows is still pieced together by brothers from several battalions, and some of them are even 'war trophies' picked up from enemy positions, and the number of quivers is also in short supply......"

"How could it be so small? Didn't the armament replenishment of our troops be supplied by Lord Qi before......" Liang Qing continued to ask, "In the battle of 'Narrow Ziguan', Lord Qi also came to support, but why did it ......?"

"Every time we send someone to report, but ...... However, Lord Qi ......always refused on the grounds that he was unwell and inconvenient to meet,' and the soldier continued to reply in a low voice.

"Hmph, the prince was wounded by an arrow, and his body still insisted on night vision patrols, and he Qi was 'unwell', regardless of whether our army lived or died on the front line?——" After Liang Qing finished his indignation, he slammed his fist on the defensive reinforcement mound to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"We're just asking for armaments, Lord Qi refuses to see us, and we don't have any way to ......," the soldier continued to mutter.

Liang Qing didn't speak again, and as a school captain alone, he could only silently endure the bitter consequences of being "calculated" by his own people. And the king of Chatai learned everything, and saw Liang Qing's weak figure behind him, and there was a silent bitterness in his heart......

"Captain Liang has a good way of governing the army, the deployment of the camp is stricter than the king, the soldiers of the army obey the order, the king is really ashamed, it is a pity that Captain Liang is not a loyal general of the imperial court......" After inspecting the north camp, on the way back, the king of Chatai watched the deployment of the garrison in the camp, and still did not forget to praise.

However, Liang Qing couldn't be happy, thinking of what happened just now, while walking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, now that the society is in danger, these court officials are still interested in power and don't care about the safety of the country...... The soldiers in front of us are not afraid to fight to the death, how can we delay the armaments of the ministers in the court, and it is difficult for us to resist the enemy with our bare hands......"

"Yes, today's imperial court is no longer the prosperous Mengyuan Empire...... Ahem...... "King Chatai's mood was a little calmer, but he seemed to look down on the fame and fortune in the world, coughed and sighed secretly, "A person like Captain Liang who serves the country is almost invisible in the court." Now that there are traitors in the court, and Zhu Yuanzhang is invading the north, if the court does not change the time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the society is in danger...... Ahem......"

"The last general was born in the wilderness, he doesn't understand the 'rules and regulations' in the officialdom, and only cares about the safety of the situation in front of him......" Liang Qing put aside a sentence, and then mentioned, "Since you are the commander-in-chief, Lord Qi has not replenished the front line, the prince can personally go to ask for it for our army, in order to fight against a strong enemy! I don't believe that he is a mere official, and he dares to disobey and refuse to see you, Lord Wang——"

"It's useless, you don't understand officialdom, even if this king goes in person, they may not be able to give ......" King Chatai shook his head helplessly, so he tried to stand up and said, "When this king was young, he had a deep enmity with the bureaucrats in the court, and this time, the 'Ming Fu Sect' was rampant, that is, those royal relatives and nobles jointly wrote a letter of impeachment, so that this king led the troops to suppress it with illness...... Ahem...... On the surface, the king is in charge of the forbidden army, but in fact, they want to take the opportunity to kill the king...... Ahem...... In their eyes, only the right to protect themselves is the most important, so they will not care about the life or death of the king, or even the safety of the society......"

"Damn, what's wrong with the imperial court now, why has it become like this......" Liang Qing couldn't help but clench his fists and said resentfully when he heard this.

King Chatai looked at Liang Qing's appearance, as if he saw Sun Yun's shadow, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Heh, Captain Liang has such a backbone, but he is a little similar to Yun'er...... Ahem...... I heard Yun'er say that the general stationed in Dongcheng called General Lietai Duer because of your friendship with Yun'er, so he promoted Captain Liang to lead the troops to rescue in Xicheng, right......"

"That's right, the first time I met Brother Sun Yun was in Dongcheng ......" Referring to Sun Yun, Liang Qing couldn't help but recall, "At that time, there was a little 'little conflict', but the first time I communicated with him, I felt that he was extraordinary-now it seems that he is indeed the best son of the Chatai family......"

"You are the same, you have the same blood in your bones as Yun'er, no wonder Yun'er values you so much......" King Chatai couldn't help but "praise" in return.

"It's just that hate is not the right time, and now in the chaotic times in the DPRK and China, Liang has the heart to serve the country but can't do anything......" Liang Qing still secretly vented, and then asked, "Then what should I do now? The army is extremely short of equipment, once the enemy army comes to attack or our army supports Xicang in advance, there is no strength to face the battle......

"Let's take one step at a time, after all, no matter how calculating those 'adults' are, if the enemy is in danger, they will not sit idly by, we are not alone in the battle......" King Chatai put down his identity as a prince and commander at this time, and comforted Liang Qing, who was a captain, in turn......

"Whoosh-" However, before the words fell, a "meteor" flew in the night sky outside the camp......

"What's that?" asked King Chatai without reacting for the first time.

"It's the signal to give the order-" Liang Qing has been in the army for a long time, he recognized it at a glance, and said secretly, "There should be a plan for the troops, but now that our army is at the front, there is no fighting, so what will it be...... Not good!!——"

The next moment of consciousness, Liang Qing thought of the terrible consequences, but it seemed that it was too late......

"The signal is coming-" On the side of the Mingfu Sect, He Xunyi saw the signal of the night sky, then revealed a hideous face, and said in a loud voice, "The whole team has it, cater to the encirclement on all sides, and follow me into the camp!"

"Kill-" Suddenly the dark fire shouted and killed everywhere, and the rocky wasteland under the dark night sky just now suddenly gathered in flames, and thousands of "Mingfu Sect" believers surrounded Liang Qing on all sides and launched a tidal assault on the camp of Liang Qing's station......

"There are enemy troops, be on alert, be on !!——alert," the soldiers at the Xiying lookout saw it, and immediately turned around and shouted.

"Whoosh-" However, two off-string arrows sounded in the night sky, and the next moment it was bloody.

"Ahh......h......h

However, when the Mengyuan army received the order, they gathered in front of the high earth fortifications at the gate of the camp, and saw the enemy rushing like a torrent, and they saw blood howling wolves in their eyes......

He Xunyi was at the forefront of the charge, leading the elite disciples to rush to the camp gate, according to the previous "capture king plan", wanting to rush to the back camp and take the life of King Chatai, the commander of Mengyuan.

The soldiers under Liang Qing swore to defend themselves against the enemy, and under the fortifications at the camp gate, the high shield soldiers in the front row quickly gathered to block the enemy's "arrow rain offensive", and the crossbowmen in the back row fired thousands of arrows together, launching a strong counterattack like fanged beasts.

"Ahh......h

But as the sect leader, He Xunyi's martial arts reached the peak, as long as Sun Yun was not there, no one here was his opponent......
