The struggle of the reborn prince

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Zhao Tun issued an order to reward the three armies and to issue winter clothes. However, the enemy is in front of him and alcohol is strictly prohibited. Although no one was killed yesterday, it still caused a strong shock in the Shaanxi army. Everyone was honest from top to bottom. many.There are no pop-up windows on the net, and the update is fast. Zhao Tun knows that with his current ability and status, he cannot interfere too much with the affairs of the Shaanxi army. Provoking this guy to chop off his own hands is enough, as long as the Shaanxi army temporarily obeys his orders, these people will be recalled by Tong Guan soon after they win Lingzhou, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are calling them to go Fighting, Fang La is still waiting for them to crusade!

There is no moon on a full moon night, and there is only falling autumn rain outside. Of course, Zhao Tun's residence is the most luxurious building in Dongguan Town. I don't know which big man's villa in Xixia is it. This is a courtyard imitating the nobles of the Song Dynasty. There are quite a few pavilions as well, which made Zhao Tun feel like going home. His "Moon Appreciation" dinner was placed on the highest attic in the garden. At this time, only Jian Xi and Zhao Xin were with him. The two people closest to him, plus the little lady from Zhejia who was 'sold' to him by his family, are all poor people. Everyone is very nervous these days, and Zhao Tuo let the others relax. Who doesn't want to relax during the big festival.

The mid-autumn rainy night in the northwest is already very cold, and the four corners of the room are lit with braziers, making this bleak rainy night a little more warm. On the long table are four kinds of seasonal fruits and seven or eight kinds of dishes. Without wine, the banquet seemed a bit dull.Everyone chatted for a while, and Jianxi told a few jokes, trying to brighten the atmosphere, but everyone seemed to be preoccupied, which made his efforts fail.

Zhao Tang got up and went to the window, pushed open the pavilion window, and the cold wind blew in with icy raindrops, making his heart jump a few times. Through the continuous rain and fog, he could see Xia Jun on the other side of the Yellow River. big camp. "Xin Zhao, why are there so many lights on the other side tonight?" Xia Jun used to light bonfires and lanterns around the camp every dark.But something was different tonight, he turned his head and asked.

"Second Lord, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe Xia Jun is also celebrating!" Xin Zhao said while picking up a pomegranate.

"No. The lights on the opposite bank are arranged regularly, bring the telescope!" Zhao Tang didn't agree with his reason, and looked at it for a while and said.

"Miss Zhe, you have dealt with Xia Jun a lot, can you understand what they mean?" Zhao Tang watched carefully for a while with a telescope.Pointing to the swaying lights on the other side, he asked.

"My lord, I don't quite understand it, but it seems to be a signal to command the army to mobilize!" Zhe Meiluan looked at the constantly changing lights on the other side, and said uncertainly.

"Light language!" Zhao Tama and Zhao Xin exclaimed at the same time. At this time, the army's communication is based on the flag during the day and the light at night. They also have their own set of light language, and the two immediately thought of it.

"What does Xia Jun want to do? Do you want to cross the Yellow River at night..." Zhao Tang thought about it.But he didn't know why the night that brought him into this world suddenly flashed in his mind.And the body's first reaction was to close the window and reach out to touch the waist. . .

'Bang' Zhao Tong's gun rang out, a black shadow fell from the tree, and at the same time, an arrow broke through the window, so dangerous, the arrow was heading towards his own throat.If he was shot by this arrow, he didn't know which era he was sent to.Of course, it is better to go back to the previous life.

"There are assassins..." Seeing an arrow shot in from the window, Jian Xi immediately shouted at the top of his voice.He was also used to being frightened by the prince, and knew how to deal with it, so he quickly blew out the candles in the room.Xin Zhao immediately drew out his gun and rushed to the prince's side. Zhe Meiluan was also unambiguous, although he only had a short sword with him, he held it in his hand and stared out the window.

"The ones who come here are all masters!" Zhao Tang poked his head out slightly to look out the window, and saw a dozen or so black shadows jumping out of the darkness and rushing towards the attic where they were.There were at least five sentry posts from the inner courtyard to the attic where Zhao Tun lived, and there were patrols constantly patrolling the road. They were able to quietly escape the tight guards and touch the core area. They were by no means simple people.

Hearing the sound of the gunshots, the guards from all over the place rushed over quickly. The four personal guards including Wang Fu, who were guarding downstairs, had already rushed upstairs to protect the prince. The guards in the courtyard had already handed over to the assassin. The sound of fire, gunshots, and the clash of swords rang out, and several large fires ignited in the surrounding courtyards.Zhao Tong's guards were all stationed in Dongguan Town. There was only the inner guard squadron in the inner courtyard, and the other four squadrons were in the outer courtyard. There were only a dozen or so people on duty in the attic. Although the others came quickly to reinforce them, they were far from being able to solve the problem. nearly thirsty.

"Be careful, there are people on the roof!" Before Zhao Tun could finish his sentence, Wang Fu and the others raised their guns at the same time and fired a shot at the roof. There was a loud noise, and two dead bodies rolled from the roof into the courtyard mixed with broken tiles. middle.

Seeing so many guards rushing towards this courtyard, the assassins immediately concluded that the person living here must be an important person, leaving a few people to fight with the guards to restrain them, and the rest rushed to the attic, and the two assassins charged. Going downstairs, jumping high, two other people quickly stepped forward and raised their hands to support their feet and sent them upwards. With their strength, they had already grabbed the window edge, and the people below immediately held the knife in their mouths and climbed up. His body went up and jumped into the window in an instant, 'whoosh. . . 'Several crossbow arrows were released.

"Protect the lord!" Xin Zhao let out a low voice, and everyone surrounded him, protecting the lord in the middle, but Zhao Tuo didn't care so much, just raised his hand to shoot, no matter how advanced his martial arts were, he was afraid of a kitchen knife, not to mention the gun, the muzzle sprayed out. The fire instantly illuminated the dark room. Wangfu and the others saw clearly where the assassin was by the light of the fire, and immediately fired. It was beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Zhao Xin, Jian Xi, you stay behind and organize people to eliminate the assassins; Wangfu, you summon the guards and we go to the city immediately!" Zhao Tang was already uneasy in his heart, and the assassin's attack on the handsome mansion made him even more sure that this night would not be peaceful .

"Second Lord, it's dangerous outside!" Xin Zhao said anxiously, holding the prince.

"Xia Jun may have a big move tonight. I'm really worried. If I'm not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. These assassins can't do anything to me, so I'll leave it to you!" Zhao Tang turned and went downstairs. The guards have all arrived, searched for the assassin, and controlled the main points everywhere. Xin Zhao knew the prince's temper, and now the scene was under control, so he had no choice but to put on a cloak to protect him from the rain, ordered a team of inner guards, and ordered Li The Shuo Squadron accompanied them on alert before directing people to put out the fire, clean up the scene, and search for the assassin.

After the expansion of Dongguan Town, the North City is only a hundred steps away from the ferry, and cannon fire can control the river surface and sink ships on the river surface. The tiger generals and an artillery team led by the Zhongyong Army Zhao Zhong are stationed here. The strength of the guards has reached [-], which shows that Zhao Tuo attaches great importance to this place.

Zhao Tun boarded the top of the city and looked towards the direction of the Yellow River, but apart from the sound of rushing water, the looming lights on the opposite side, and the vast rain and mist, nothing could be seen on the pitch-black surface of the river, "My lord, an assassin entered the mansion just now. Just now, a fire broke out in the prince's camp, and gunshots rang out, Zhao Zhong ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and all intersections were blocked, but when he got the news that the prince had gone to the North City, he hurried over.

"I'm fine! Zhao Zhong, the lights on the other side of the river are abnormal, and my camp was attacked. It can't be a coincidence. I'm worried that Xia Jun will take advantage of the dark night and wind and rain to cross the river, but the river is too dark, and I can't see anything clearly. The artillery battalion fired flares at the river!" Zhao Tang said while looking at the river.

"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Zhong immediately sent an order to the artillery camp to fire, but because of the wind and rain, in order to prevent the gunpowder from being overheated, the artillerymen had to cover it, and the loading speed was much slower, but the flares fired by the mortars one after another, It still illuminates a section of the river.

"There is Xia Jun on the river!" The sentry on the watchtower quickly noticed the abnormality and warned loudly.

Zhao Zhong hastily ordered that flares be fired intensively on the river where Xia Jun was found. Immediately paddled hard and increased the speed.

"My lord, it's Xia Jun's 'Hun Tuo Jun'!" Zhe Meiluan, who was following behind him, said suddenly when Zhao Tuo was wondering how Xia Jun, who was inland, dared to cross the Yellow River on a stormy night.

"Get out of the army?!" Zhao Tong was even more surprised. How could Xia Jun have such a military branch? He had never heard of it, nor seen it in history books.

"My lord, the Huntuo army is the water army in the Xia army. They are good at water, but they don't have the huge ships and ships of our dynasty. They all use 'huntuo' instead of ships, so they are called Huntuo army..." Zhemei Seeing that the prince was puzzled, Luan hurriedly explained.

Listening to Zhe Meiluan's explanation, Zhao Tuo gradually understood that "huntuo" is a tool for swimming. When the party members slaughtered sheep, they did not open the belly, but took out the flesh and internal organs from the neck, leaving a complete and undamaged sheep. Then soak the sheepskin in nitrate water for three days, wait until you can smell the smell, take it out, let it dry for a day, remove the wool, rinse it, then tie the limbs tightly with hemp rope, pour half a catty of green salt from the neck, Then pour a catty of water and drink half a catty of sesame oil, and finally tie the neck to death, and expose it to the sun for five days.When the leather turns reddish-brown, untie the hemp rope on one limb, and several people blow air into it in turn with their buttocks sticking out.

Even bigger is the cow 'huntuo', which is made in basically the same way, except that it does not need to be blown, but is stuffed with hay.The sailors put the sheep 'huntuo' under their armpits, or lie on the cow's tuo, and paddle hard with their hands, so that they can swim across the river and attack the enemy.If many cattle and sheep are tied together, and wooden poles are tied to them, it will become a leather raft.
