Cangzhou beacon fire

Chapter 35
Zhong Yao's sudden move caught everyone's surprise. The swift sword stopped halfway in front of Xiao Yuhang, and the swift and violent sword force even lifted the hair by Xiao Yuhang's ear, but he still had no clue. waves.

Seeing Xiao Yuhang's calm and composed appearance, Zhong Yao couldn't help feeling admiration. A blind man's ears are more sensitive than normal people's. He must be able to hear the sound of unsheathing clearly, and he must be able to guess that the sword is coming towards him. , but not only did he not move at all, even his expression didn't change at all. It was still the same cold face, and he couldn't see any psychological changes.

The monkey-shaped guard behind Xiao Yuhang only reacted at this time, and had already flashed in front of Xiao Yuhang at an astonishing speed, and glared at Zhong Yao with one hand on the ground, hissing hissingly.

"Xiao Qi, step back, General Zhong has no intention of killing me." Xiao Yuhang said coldly.

The monkey-shaped guard named Xiao Qi hissed Zhong Yao twice before retreating behind Xiao Yuhang reluctantly.

Zhong Yao still pointed his sword at Xiao Yuhang, and said indifferently: "Are you sure I won't kill you? You are the second person on the Luo Kingdom's reward list, even a corpse is worth ten thousand taels of gold."

"Then General Zhong will do it, Xiao Yuhang will not back down."

Zhong Yao stared at Xiao Yuhang's blindfold in front of his eyes. At this moment, he really hoped that this person was not blind, but if he could meet his eyes, he could more or less understand whether the other person was panicked, calm, or fearful. There is some information caught in the eyes, the eyes can't lie, but the person in front of him only responds with a cold expression and the white cloth that can't see through anything.

Pointing at Xiao Yuhang's sword and slowly withdrawing it, Zhong Yao put the sword back into its sheath, his expression softened, and he bowed to Xiao Yuhang and said: "I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me, and I will also formally thank you for your help. .”

That night, in the camp of the Sanyuan Army.

All the generals and lieutenants were summoned by Yan Yu, about [-] of them.

Yan Yu stood in front of the topographic map of the sand table, and the baton in his hand was pointing at Baishui City on the topographic map.

"Although we were in ambush in the battle during the day and lost about [-] soldiers, the enemy also made a fatal mistake." Yan Yu moved his baton to the north of Baishui City on the topographic map and continued: "Spy troops to report , The north gate of Baishui City was also affected by the fire, the city gate was destroyed, and now there is no gate to defend Baishui. In the battle of tomorrow, the whole army will attack and go straight to the north gate of Baishui. The Yue army must be wiped out in Baishui City! "Yan Yu stood majestic and firm in his tone. After speaking, he directly threw the command stick on the topographic map, and he seemed to be invincible.

"We will fight with all our strength and swear to the death to take down the city of worshiping water." All the generals knelt down and saluted, saying in unison.

Yan Yu nodded, and continued: "The first army will attack the city first, and then the second and third armies will follow. After entering the city, first take down the enemy's camp, armory, granary and horse workshop. General Li Ao is in charge of the overall command. .”

"Yes!" Li Ao replied heavily, with a fierce look in his eyes, the face he lost at Yue Jun before will be counted back tomorrow.

On the other side, Zhong Lin's support troops were also strongly blocked by Sanyuan Fan Yi's troops at the exit of the dense forest. After a day and two nights, they did not take advantage of it at all.

In front of the Neiyue military camp in the dense forest.

A black-clothed squad of more than 20 people lined up neatly and waited for the order, all of them raised their heads and chests with resolute faces.

Zhong Lin and Xia Houyin came to the front of the squadron, Zhong Lin approached the squadron, looked at each one from the first one, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and wiped the dust on the face of the soldiers when they met.

"Zhang Qiang, right?" Zhong Lin walked up to a man in black in the middle and asked.

The man in black nodded, and replied with a firm face: "Return to the general, yes, Zhang Qiang, the deputy commander of the first army and the third battalion!"

Zhong Lin patted him on the shoulder, nodded in relief and went on to the next one.

"Liu Xin from the First Battalion of the Second Army." Zhong Lin looked at another man in black and asked.

"Report to the general, yes!"

After Zhong Lin looked at all the men in black one by one, he returned to the front of the team.

"You are all good climbers in the Yue army, and you are also the most loyal and brave soldiers in our country. I, Zhong Lin, offer a toast to all the warriors." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, a group of soldiers behind him brought out wine bowls and offered them to Zhong Lin and everyone. A man in black prepared a bowl.

The men in black took the bowls and raised their bowls to pay tribute to Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin also raised their bowls in response, and then they all drank with their heads up.

After Zhong Lin finished drinking, he smashed the wine bowl to pieces, and everyone in black followed suit.

"The wives and children in your family will enjoy the preferential treatment of the survivors of the martyrs. This time it is up to you." Zhong Lin had tears in his eyes. These are the elites of Yue Kingdom, and they are all veterans who followed him to fight in the battlefield.

"Swear to the death to complete the task!" All the black men saluted Zhong Lin in unison, and then Zhang Qiang led the team to run northwestward in the dark.

Zhong Lin and Xia Houyin watched the men in black leave, and they didn't turn back to the camp until they disappeared into the night.

"Have you found the person who provided the information?" Zhong Lin asked as he walked.

Xia Houyin shook his head: "No, I can't find it. I also checked the sharp arrow that was shot into the camp with information. It is an ordinary hunter's arrow, not a military arrow."

Zhong Lin fell into deep thought. Sanyuan chose Ginkgo Beach as a storage location for logistics. First, it was close to the Honghe River for water transportation, and second, the location was extremely hidden. If someone hadn't informed him, he would never have thought of it.But who fired this information into the camp?It seems difficult to find the answer right now.

When approaching the camp, Zhong Lin stopped in his tracks and said with a serious expression: "No matter who gave it, this is a great opportunity. Gather a large army and be on standby at any time. Once the fire breaks out in the northwest, the whole army will attack. Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy Destroy it completely when you are at a loss!"

"Yes!"

Ginkgo Beach is located in the northwest of the dense forest, and there is only one iron chain and wooden plank bridge to cross it. To the north of Ginkgo Beach is a steep mountain cliff. The steepness of the cliff has deterred many experienced mountain climbers.

A group of men in black panted heavily, lying on the cliff of Yueshan staring at the Sanyuan camp below the cliff, and spent a whole night walking around the cliff and then climbing up. At this time, they were already exhausted.

At this time, the braziers of the Sanyuan camp in Ginkgo Beach were buzzing, and dozens of granaries in Gaotun were as conspicuous as twigs on the ground. A small number of patrol soldiers in the camp were listlessly walking the same route, yawning from time to time.At the chain bridge, there are two slightly larger camps separated on the left and right, which are obviously guard barracks.

Zhang Qiang looked at the sky, the moon was already hazy, although he was tired and tired, he knew that time was running out.

"Check the kerosene bottle, and after going down the rope, everyone must make sure to burn the two granaries." Zhang Qiang whispered to the men in black.

Everyone nodded, their eyes determined.At this time Zhang Qiang spoke again: "Liu Xin."

The man in black named Liu Xin moved over: "Yes."

"You walk fast, the chain bridge and the two camps next to it will be handed over to you."

"it is good!"

After Zhang Qiang explained, he waved his hand, and everyone started to untie the rope, and after they were fixed, they went down the rope in a smooth manner.

The Sanyuan patrols only reacted when the first granary caught fire, and the panicked patrols blew the emergency whistle urgently.

Each man in black has three or four ceramic bottles wrapped in plain cloth tied around his waist. As soon as the cloth is drenched, it will burn immediately in case of fire.

Before the three yuan defenders could react, one after another the ceramic bottles with fire exploded in each granary, followed by a skyrocketing fire.

In the barracks next to the chain bridge, several disheveled Sanyuan soldiers ran out while dressing.

Fan Qing, the captain of the garrison, ran out in a panic. As Fan Yi's clan brother, Fan Qing hadn't been on the battlefield a few times, let alone made any great achievements. However, this did not affect his promotion. After all, the clan brother Fan Yi is now He is Tian Jin's favorite minister.

Fan Qing patted his head to wake himself up. After all, he drank a lot last night. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he was awakened seven or eight times by this scene.
