Today, it is the third day of defending the city, and the other party has not yet appeared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When it was close to noon, Zhou Tong went up to the city wall, saw Zeng Huai looking ahead, and said: "Lord Zeng, looking so anxious, do you still want the other party to attack the city!"

Zeng Huai smiled bitterly: "I want to see what the other party is like." ”

Zhou Tong said: "The spies have returned, and we have found out the basic situation. ”

"What's the situation?" Zeng Huai asked.

Zhou Dongyu reported: "From Shandong, a team led by Zhang Zao, about 30,000 horses, and mainly infantry, cavalry only 3,000 horses. ”

"I know this, this Zhang Zao is the general who lost single-handedly with Pang He, and now he is just a mere protector. Zeng Huai interrupted.

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Then you should also know about the army in Hubei, what about the combat power?"

Zeng Huai said: "Probably, I know it, but in terms of combat power, I don't know very well. ”

Zhou Tong said: "The combat strength of the two armies is not very good, and the battlefield has been absent for a long time, and we can also see it from the first two battles." Among the teams led by Yin Sheng in Hubei, there is a team with relatively strong combat ability, which they call Black Wind. ”

"Black Wind?" Zeng Huai asked curiously: "What kind of unit is this Black Wind, why haven't I heard of it, how did you find out?"

Zhou Tong replied: "Hei Feng, in fact, is the same as our own formation, composed of people who are more powerful in kung fu in the rivers and lakes, it belongs to the nature of the rivers and lakes, but it serves the imperial court. These people are elusive and rarely show up, and I am afraid that they are preparing now, or even have already blended into the city. ”

"This?" Zeng Huai began to be a little worried: "What should we do if they get in?"

Zhou Tong said: "Things have come to this point, the two armies are fighting, and there will definitely be news spying on each other, as long as they disguise themselves as ordinary people, we are very tender to detect, this is inevitable." We can now get them back in vain by getting the news faster than they do, and making changes in time. Moreover, their most threatening thing is not to spy on military intelligence, but to assassinate. ”

"Assassination?" Zeng Huai began to worry: "This assassination..."

Zhou Tong said confidently: "Don't worry, I have now sent people to patrol around the city gate, as long as they are discovered, they will be dealt with immediately." Don't forget, our heroes are not for them to see. ”

Zeng Huai saw Zhou Tong talking about the people of the rivers and lakes, so he asked by the way: "Then the sneak attack you talked about last time, how is the plan prepared?"

Zhou Tong replied, "Tonight, I'll take someone to meet them for a while." ”

"Okay, I wish you a triumphant return!" Zeng Huai said.

Zhou Tong smiled and said: "Lord Xie Jiyan, I believe they will not come today, my lord should go back first, tomorrow, wait for my good news." ”

It was getting dark, and after dinner, Zhou Dong, Chao Gai and the Jianghu special forces led by them rested very early. In the middle of the night, the city gate was opened, and Zhou Dong and Chao Gai led people, rode horses, and galloped towards the enemy's barracks.

When they reached the barracks about a kilometer or so, 300 men dismounted and walked slowly close to the barracks, and when they came within the range of bows and arrows, they took out bows and arrows or projectile weapons, lit fires, and shot at the camp tent.

In an instant, the fire broke out, the barracks began to shout for fire, and everyone got up and woke up from their sleep. Only then did those who were patrolling wipe their eyes and knew that something was wrong, and someone had attacked the base camp.

In addition, Zhou Dong sent about five or six people to deal with the enemy's grain and grass, because as long as the grain and grass were burned, they would have to retreat.

When the fire was finished, 300 men mounted their horses and rampaged through the barracks, killing the bewildered enemy soldiers without any defense, and directly from one end to the other. When the other party was a little conscious and began to pursue, Zhou Tong and Chao Gai took the people away, leaving the other party to sigh with admiration.

Zhou Tong and Chao Gai took the people back to Suzhou City, although it was much worse than Gan Xingba's Hundred Cavalry Robbery Camp, but it was very ideal, and the effect was also very good, there were almost no casualties, and the people from the rivers and lakes they brought with them were also snoring.

This kind of charge is rarely experienced by ordinary soldiers, let alone scattered Jianghu people. is also because they are from the rivers and lakes, their skills are better, and they haven't killed the red eye much, so the withdrawal is relatively smooth.

Back in Suzhou, the sky was already dark, and with the sound of roosters, they entered the city and returned to their respective places to rest.

Zeng Huai stood on the city gate, watched the procession pass by the city gate, and a person, walked down, came to Zhou Dong's residence, and asked, "How is the situation?"

Zhou Tong said: "Yes, we successfully attacked their military camp and burned the grain, grass and camp tents. Although it didn't burn much, it was not a small blow for them. Today, my lord, you can rest assured!"

Zeng Huai asked, "Won't they come today?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "My things are burning, they are busy putting out the fire, and when the fire is extinguished, they are also tired, in the middle of the night, such a toss, who still has the heart to do anything today." ”

"I mean, will they send some of them?" Zeng Huai then expressed his doubts.

Zhou Tong replied: "Then, no, they are now in our mentality, if they want to send some people, then I am still happy, put them into the city, let them do the battle of trapped beasts." ”

"So what should we do now?" Zeng Huai asked again.

Zhou Tong said: "What about you, just relax, don't worry about the country and the people, go rest, sleep, and wait for my good news." ”

Saying that, Zhou Tong pushed Zeng Huai to the door: "Okay, okay, I also need to rest, we'll talk later." ”

Zeng Huai still didn't feel at ease to go back, in the past few months, Zeng Huai's body has lost weight several times, and he was worried all day long, for the current city defense, a civil official, he was naturally nervous, and he couldn't wait to go down and be like Zhou Tong, even if he died on the battlefield. It's a pity that this old bone is okay to sit in a sedan chair, and riding a horse is really a bit unbearable, let alone holding a sword. Fortunately, with Zhou Dong here, there is Zhou Dong, an old friend, if it weren't for Zhou Tong in Suzhou City, today's situation is probably difficult for me to deal with. I thought in my heart that so many days have passed, has the emperor received the recital, what kind of news is there in the capital, and when will this day come to an end? )
