The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 114 Firecrackers attack the camp in the early morning
The sun is approaching dusk, and red clouds hang in the sky.

Looking at the crimson sky, Jia Jing said with emotion: "Tomorrow will be another sunny day!"

"what?"

Shuan Zhu looked puzzled, didn't he and Jia Jing come to investigate the Tatar camp?
Why did it suddenly involve the weather?

"Don't think about it if you don't understand it."

Jia Jing glanced at Shuanzhu, and seeing the latter's bewildered face, he couldn't help but sighed.

The cavalry captain next to him couldn't help but said to Shuan Zhu:

"What the general means is that tomorrow is a good day, which is just right for us to rescue the Sacha River Guard!"

Looking at the lieutenant approvingly, Jia Jing smiled and said: "That's right, when the cannon fires in our place early tomorrow morning, the army in the Sacha River guard city will also come out at the same time.

Under the two-phase attack, even if the total strength of the Tatars is twice that of ours, they will be killed and defeated in embarrassment! "

"Hasn't the general already made an agreement with his colleagues in the Acropolis?"

Hearing the cavalry lieutenant's question, Shuan Zhu next to him patted his chest, "I've already asked Gaifeng to send the news!"

The cavalry lieutenant was puzzled, "Gallery?"

Before the words fell, a white shadow in the sky fell like an arrow.

The cavalry captain was startled, and immediately saw a two-foot-tall, unusually handsome Haidongqing landed on Shuanzhu's shoulder.

Shuan Zhu stroked Hai Dongqing's back lightly, and said to the cavalry captain, "He is Gale Wind!"

After finishing speaking, Shuan Zhu took out a small note from the bamboo tube on Gale's paw.

"Lord Hou, the commander of Sachhe Guard sent back a letter saying that he would obey Lord Hou's order!"

Hearing this, Jia Jing nodded, "Pass the order down, tell the soldiers not to be stingy with meat tonight, and tell the soldiers to eat enough, so that they will have the strength to kill the enemy tomorrow morning!"

I looked at the setting sun that was about to set in the sky, and then at the Tatar camp in the distance.

Jia Jing said: "But tonight, we can't let the Tatars sleep too comfortably..."

……

As he spoke, Jia Jing waved his right hand forward.

At the bottom of the hillside, seeing Jia Jing's movements, a group of guards and heavy cavalry immediately stepped out, forming a cone-shaped formation, and headed for the Tatar camp.

Looking at the heavy cavalry gradually going away, the cavalry captain stepped forward and said: "General, the outer perimeter of the Tatar camp is now surrounded by fences, horse pits and horse refusals. Light cavalry shooting arrows from a distance is still effective. This heavy cavalry..."

Jia Jing handed the binoculars in his hand to the school lieutenant, and said with a smile: "Just look at it! Only the general's personal soldiers can get close to the enemy's camp and carry out the general's orders! No one else can." !"

After receiving the binoculars, the school lieutenant saw from a distance that the group of heavy cavalry rushed to the Tatar army camp against the arrows they had shot at.

During the period, arrows shot at the heavy cavalry one by one, but none of them could break through the heavy armor on the cavalry.

Afterwards, the guards took down a large roll of crimson things hanging from the horses, took out a torch and ignited it, and threw it into the Tatar camp.

Under the super strength of the cavalry, the strings of red objects flew to different positions in the Tatar camp.

……

Looking at the familiar crimson thing, the cavalry captain cast doubtful eyes on Jia Jing, "General, the one your personal soldier hangs on the horse, could it be..."

Before the captain could finish his words, a burst of "cracking" sounded through the sky.

Come on, don't worry about it, the ones thrown in are undoubtedly firecrackers!

Listening to the sound of huge firecrackers from the Tatar camp in the distance, Jia Jing was quite satisfied with the quality of these firecrackers.

He laughed and said, "This firecracker with ingredients sounds loud!"

At the same time, Jia Jing was muttering silently in her heart.

This time, seventy strings of firecrackers with ingredients were thrown in. If you can sleep well tonight, I, Jia Jing, will ask those craftsmen to eat these firecrackers!

The captain also understood at this time, and couldn't help but suddenly said, "The general is indeed unparalleled! He can use firecrackers so well, the general admires him!"

Hearing such unfamiliar and embarrassing compliments, Jia Jing couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"If you don't know how to flatter, don't do it hard," Jia Jing reached out and patted the captain's shoulder, "Why bother, embarrassing myself, and embarrassing the general!"

Afterwards, Jia Jing returned to the temporary camp with Shuan Zhu and others, leaving behind the embarrassingly flushed cavalry captain.

………………

The sun was setting and the night was getting darker.

On the night at the end of the month, the earth gradually fell into darkness.

That night, in the Tatar camp, life was extremely uneasy.

Because Jia Jing's heavy armored soldiers are summoned by the system, whether they are horses or knights, their attributes are far beyond ordinary, even in the dark night like today, they can roughly see the road clearly.

In this way, not only the spies sent out from the Tatar camp were strangled to death by the soldiers who came and went like the wind.

Even the Tatar camp became extremely lively under the special care of the soldiers, and there would be deafening firecrackers from time to time.

On a low hill four miles away.

Hearing the incomparably clear sound of firecrackers in the distance, the cavalry captain couldn't help but silently mourned for the group of Tatar troops enjoying the baptism of firecrackers at close range.

If this battle can survive, it is estimated that firecrackers will become the shadow of these Tatars for the rest of their lives!

At this time, this group of Tatar troops who were being silently mourned was really suffering.

Especially those Tatar cavalrymen who were required to go to bed early to recharge their spirits and get up early tomorrow, all of them were surprised by the sound of firecrackers from time to time.

As for sleeping?Forget it!

In the end, an order had to be passed down in the golden tent, telling the cavalry to take cloth strips and plug their ears tightly.

In this way, all the cavalry were able to fall asleep!
……

Time, slowly passing by...

Amid Jia Jing's firecracker greetings, in the Tatar camp, except for the group of Tatar cavalry who blocked their ears, everyone else didn't fall asleep exhausted until midnight.

And taking advantage of the sound of firecrackers from time to time before, more than ten thousand Dazhou soldiers had quietly arrived at the foot of a small hill less than four miles away from the Tatar camp.

………………

In the sky, a crescent moon like a hook quietly rises on the branches.

The dim moonlight shone down, bringing a little gleam to the dark earth.

In the twilight, a total of fifty red barbarian cannons about three meters in length have been set up, and the muzzles of the black holes are already pointing at the Tatar camp not far away.

Under the hillside, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had all assembled.

Four thousand cavalry formations, eight infantry formations, and two thousand cavalry troops stood there quietly.

In the silent solemnity, a decisive killing intent was brewing!
……

Ugly times pass slowly.

The eastern sky is getting brighter.

On the earth, the pitch-black land was gradually illuminated by the hazy light from the horizon.

"It's almost time," Jia Jing looked at the sky and ordered, "Light it up!"

"ignition!"

With a loud shout from the artillerymen, the fifty torches were divided into three batches and stretched to the fuze of the Hongyi cannon for the first time.
