Chapter 548 The Conspiracy of Xinma Island (1) ([-]-word chapter)
"Thank you Dugu for your kindness, the sage has already handed over this matter to Guan Lijun, deputy commander of the villain." Yue Shan shook his head.

"Alright, he is the one who investigated and dealt with the assassination case, right? It's more convenient for him not to bother the two masters." Dugu Yanyun said.

When I came to the side hall, I found that many people had come, and most of them were military generals, and there were only a few ministers among the civil servants.Seeing this, Yue Shan could already guess that this meeting was related to the military.

After a while, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin and several generals who participated in the Battle of Bingzhou came in behind Li Shimin.

Seeing them, Yue Shan's eyes brightened, he was a little excited.

Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin and others have been retreating since returning from Bingzhou, and wrote about the use and prevention methods of artillery based on actual combat experience.The few of them appearing here at this moment must have achieved results.

Sure enough, after seeing the ceremony, Li Shimin took out a stack of brochures and distributed one to each of them. On the cover was written the strategy of artillery.

Yue Shan couldn't wait to open it, and found that the content of this strategy is very rich.According to the range and power of the cannon, the types are divided, and each type of cannon is suitable for which tactics.It also creatively proposed concepts such as infantry and artillery coordination, cavalry and cavalry coordination, and infantry and cavalry coordination.

Especially the latter, Yue Shan couldn't believe it.It is the first time to use cannons to fight, and you can sum up so many concepts that were only proposed by later generations for hundreds of years. This group of elites of the Tang Dynasty is too terrifying.

No wonder in the original history it only took them three to five years to wipe out the mighty Eastern Turks and capture Xieli alive.

Fighting against such an opponent, Xieli can persist for three to five years is indeed very powerful.

……

Fusang sea area, a forest area in the southwest of Xinma Island, a group of people lurk here enduring the bites of mosquitoes.

"Brother, I'm back." Huang Yu touched Wang Dahu's side, exhaled and rubbed his frozen numb face vigorously with his hands.

"How is it? Is it going well?" Wang Dahu said happily.

"Successfully, the hunting teams of the Black Rock Department and the Giant Wood Department have been lured to the set position, and they have not found each other." Yellow Fish panted.

"Okay, third brother, you have made another great contribution, I will ask you for it when you get back." Wang Dahu said happily.

"It's all thanks to the brothers." Yellow Fish said modestly.

"Of course I won't forget the brothers' contributions." Looking at the people who were listening to their conversation, Wang Dahu raised his voice slightly: "We have been planning for half a year, and now it's time to see each other."

"Lieutenant Cai Yang Cai is leading the main force to wait for our signal in the open sea. As long as the plan tonight can be successful, our army will be able to enter the island of Singapore tomorrow in a fair manner, and our good days will come. By then, brothers There are rewards."

All of a sudden, whispers sounded in the forest, buzzing like a swarm of wasps in the distance.

Wang Dahu immediately comforted him and said: "Quiet, I know the brothers are in a hurry. But half a hundred miles away, the more you can't relax your carelessness at the last moment. I'll put the ugly words in front. If someone goes wrong and the plan fails, I don't need to be punished by the governor, I cut him off first."

The crowd fell silent immediately, but everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

After staying in this desolate place for half a year, they were already tired of it, and now they finally saw their heads.

It was night, the moon was shining brightly and the stars were few, but in the forest it was pitch black, and the road ahead could only be seen clearly by the few rays of moonlight leaking from the gaps in the trees.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Wang Dahu and his party quietly reached a campsite.

Climbing up a tree to observe the situation in the camp, I found that most people got into the tents to rest, and only a few night watchmen took a nap around a fire.Climb down from the tree and arrange for everyone to continue lurking.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of birds chirping nearby.

Wang Dahu, who was in a state of confusion, was shocked, wiped his eyes casually, and then pinched his throat and made a 'chirp chirp chirp' sound.

After a while, there was a rustling sound, and a black shadow came close.

"Ma Song?" Wang Dahu lowered his voice.

"General, it's me." The black shadow said in a strange tone.

Hearing this voice, Wang Dahu felt relieved, and said, "Which tent is Xiangyuan in?"

"The one in the middle, Aihara is sleeping in there alone. Now they are all asleep, only two awake by the fire in front. I'll pester the guards later, and the general can lead someone to touch it from behind... "Ma Song stroked his neck with his hand while speaking.

"Okay, you did a good job. After this operation is over, I will send you to Datang. From now on, you will be a glorious citizen of Datang." Wang Dahu patted him on the shoulder and said.

"General Xie, I will definitely not let you down." Ma Song said excitedly.

"Well, go back quickly, don't make people suspicious." Wang Dahu said.

Then he ordered everyone to get ready, and followed Masson to the vicinity of the camp.

When Ma Song came back from installing the toilet by himself, he ran to the night watchman and warmed himself by the fire while chattering, looking very happy.

"Cough, cough, cough." Suddenly, Ma Song coughed a few times in a moderate manner, and the sound could just be heard by Wang Dahu.

This was the signal that the two had agreed to start. After receiving the signal, Wang Dahu beckoned and two men dressed in black came up, and the three of them went to the tent in the dark.

The three of them were cautious on the road, and their footsteps were raised and lowered gently to ensure that they would not make too much noise.

But the environment of the forest floor here is too complicated. Even if they were very careful, one of his men accidentally stepped on a branch and made a 'snap' sound when they were about to touch the edge of the tent.

The sound was very small, but it sounded like thunder to Wang Dahu's ears, his heart almost jumped out of fright.However……

"Haha... *%￥#@..." I don't know what Ma Song said, but the two people who were watching the night laughed with a suppressed voice, and the laughter just covered up the sound of the branch breaking.

Wang Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, gestured cautiously towards the people behind him and continued to touch the tent in the middle.

There was no accident this time, and the three of them reached the back of the tent smoothly.Wang Dahu pulled out a dagger from his waist and lightly cut a hole in the tent, then slipped in quietly.

After entering, I saw a man with lush hair and no age, lying on a quilt made of animal fur, sleeping soundly.

Looking at it by the moonlight, he found that it was the goal of his trip.The young leader of the Black Rock Division, Aihara.

He gestured to the two subordinates who followed him again to issue the task, and after the two subordinates responded with gestures, he began to act.

One of the men came down to Aihara's knee and made a gesture of pressing down.The other came to his chest and made the same pressing gesture.

Wang Dahu came to his head and held his mouth with one hand, while the dagger in the other hand directly slit his throat.

At the same time as he made his move, those two subordinates also threw themselves on Aihara's body, one pressed his chest and the other pressed his knee.

Awakened by the severe pain, Xiangyuan subconsciously wanted to struggle, but with the three big men on his body, he couldn't struggle at all, and soon fell into eternal darkness in fear.

Feeling that Xiangyuan under him stopped struggling and his body went limp, Wang Dahu knew that the target was probably dead.

Out of caution, he didn't let go directly, but tried to let go of his hand a little bit, and found that Aihara still hadn't moved before letting go, and the two subordinates also let go.

The three squatted on the ground and took a deep breath to adjust their breath.

Although the killing process was very simple, after all, they were killing people in someone else's camp. The three of them were still very nervous, and they used all their strength to press down on them, so they were sweating all over.

This is someone else's camp, staying in someone else's camp for just one more minute is more dangerous. After adjusting his breathing a little, Wang Dahu asked two of his men to carry Aihara's body, and got out of the hole he dug just now and returned along the original road.

Blood gurgled down from the wound on Xiangyuan's neck and flowed on the ground. Wang Dahu and others seemed to be unaware of it, and they still walked forward with their heads sullen.

When he came to the hiding place of the crowd, he ordered without stopping: keep five people guarding, and the rest follow him.

Then he led the large troops all the way to the east by south, with a lot of movement on the road, leaving clear traces.

The five people were left behind to wait for about a quarter of an hour, and suddenly said in Ainu language: "I got it, let's go." After speaking, the five people turned around and fled to the north cautiously.

The two Ainu people who were on vigil were startled by the sudden sound, and immediately warned their companions. After the other night watchmen got up, everyone held torches and went to the place where the sound sounded to check the situation.

But nothing was seen except a pool of blood.

blood?Instead of relaxing, these people became even more nervous.

Immediately followed the blood trail to the camp, the more nervous I felt the further I walked.When he came to the back of the young leader Aihara's tent and saw the hole, he panicked completely.

The young leader was killed...lost, and the entire camp fell into panic.

But soon other leaders came forward and gathered people together to find a way. Although everyone knew that the young leader was more dangerous than good, they still had the last hope before seeing the corpse.

After discussing with each other, they followed the bloodstains to have a look.Even if you can't save the young leader, at least you need to know who killed him.

Otherwise, they won't be able to fall behind when they go back.

At about the same time, the giant wood tribe located several miles away fell into a deep sleep.They didn't set up any secret whistle or the like in the freezing weather-they didn't have this concept either.

Only a few people were arranged to watch the night, and the objects of defense were also beasts rather than people.

In the middle of the night, when everyone fell into a deep sleep and the night watchmen kept drooping their heads in drowsiness, the sound of cramped footsteps came.

The night watchman woke up with a jerk, and when he was about to check what was going on, he heard an Ainu language: "Fire the arrow."

Then a rain of arrows came out of the darkness.

"Ah!" Caught off guard, several people were knocked down.

But the rest of the people who were sleeping were also awakened, and they all got up and picked up their weapons, hid behind the obstacles and shot arrows in the direction of the arrows.

The leader of Jukibu is also the young leader Chang Pingchuan, who was awakened immediately and protected.

"Who is attacking us?"

"I don't know. The opponent came too suddenly. We have already lost seven or eight people. However, based on the number of arrows, it can be estimated that the opponent's number is less than 20." A subordinate reported.

Chang Pingchuan was even more angry when he heard that seven or eight people had died. He said, "If less than 20 people dare to attack us, I want them to regret coming to this world. Gather your hands and rush over to find them out."

"Not good, what if there is an ambush on the opposite side?" A small leader dissuaded: "If we fight back with bows and arrows, send a team of people to touch the situation from the side."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Since you came up with the idea, then you can lead someone to touch it." Chang Pingchuan said displeased.

"Ah? This..." The little boss wanted to slap himself, why is his mouth so cheap.

"Ah, what, you don't want to go?" Chang Pingchuan threatened.

"No, I'll go, I'll take someone there right away." The little boss didn't dare to disobey the narrow-minded young leader's wishes, and said hastily.

The little boss ordered a group of people to sneak out from the side, but the other party seemed to have found their tracks, and stopped shooting arrows before he left the camp.

Then a noisy sound came from the dark place. Listening carefully, it probably meant that he had already taken advantage of it and ran quickly, and then there was a sound of running.

Now Chang Pingchuan couldn't bear it anymore, and chased him out after giving an order.

The little boss just wanted to remind that it might be a conspiracy, but his mouth moved when he thought of what happened just now, and he didn't say anything in the end.

The two sides chased each other and entered the depths of the forest after a while.Chang Pingchuan also knew that chasing like this was not the way to go. He wanted to stop chasing several times, but at this time, the people on the opposite side would always stop and shoot arrows.

How could he have been so angry, and continued to chase.

After chasing for about three or four miles, a fire came from the forest in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. Is there really an ambush?That's not right, is there such a swaggering ambush?

Just when he was hesitating, cheers came from ahead: "The young leader is here to pick us up, everyone, don't be afraid to shoot back."

"Chang Ping Chuan is going to run, Chang Ping Chuan is going to run."

"Haha... Chang Pingchuan is really a waste, he was so scared by our Black Rock Department that he ran away..."

Hearing this, Chang Pingchuan's eyeballs turned red.

Well, it turned out to be offal from the Kuroiwabe.Even if you sneak attack us, you still dare to insult me. If I don’t tear you to pieces, I won’t be called Chang Pingchuan.

With an order, everyone rushed up.

On the other side, Heiyanbu followed the traces all the way and finally caught the murderers by their tails.Before he had time to be happy, he found that there was also a fire in the distance on the opposite side. It seemed that many people were rushing in this direction at full speed.

Who is that over there?

Just as doubts arose, the group of murderers in front said excitedly: "The young leader has come to meet us, we are safe."

"Go and join the young leader."

"Haha... The waste of the Black Rock Department, we killed your young leader, and the body is in our hands. If you have the ability to chase it."

"Haha...they are cowards from the Black Rock Department, they dare not chase after them."

Everyone in the Heiyan Department behind heard their eyes tearing apart, and they didn't care too much about it, so they accelerated to catch up.
