There were still two hours before dawn, and there were rows of soldiers patrolling the streets. Other than that, there was no sound.
Chu Qingyan leaned against the wall and looked at the elite soldiers standing or sitting, her eyes softened a lot. These people were brothers who had been born and died with Dabingcuo in the past. Seeing them, I felt a little bit in my heart. steadfast.
She stood up amidst the astonishment of everyone, "I'm going out to find out the news, you wait here, don't let anyone find out, Fang Jia will come with me."
The crowd nodded.
Just now she observed that Fang Jia's light skills were good, so she asked him to follow her, and the two quickly ran towards the center of the main city.
She remembered that in the topographic map, the place where the county guard was located was north of the center of the city. Following the route in her memory, they dodged the patrolling soldiers and arrived after a stick of incense.
It's just that before he got close, there were bursts of muffled noises from inside.
She glanced at Fang Jia, hid under the wall, and jumped onto the roof when the soldiers passed by.
The glazed tiles glowed brightly in the night, and in Chu Qingyan's eyes, there was a sense of coolness that was not usually present.
At this time Fang Jia had already removed a glazed tile, and the light inside suddenly shone out, and Chu Qingyan leaned over to look in through the mouth.
What caught my eye was right in the center of the hall. A group of women dressed in light clothes were singing and dancing, with soldiers in Nancang military uniform sitting on both sides. In each of their arms, a woman was flirting and flirting, obsessed with wine and meat. atmosphere of.
Chu Qingyan squinted and watched for a while before putting back the glazed tile, with a sneer in his eyes. As a soldier, to do such a thing is simply sorry for the military uniform he was wearing.
"Brother Chu, what are we going to do next?" Fang Jia asked in a low voice.
"go back."
After the figures of the two disappeared into the night, a figure appeared in the courtyard, turned and pushed open the door.
At this time, the hall of the wine pool and meat forest suddenly fell silent, and the leader immediately raised his hand to let those Yingying Yanyan disperse, and the drinks were also withdrawn.
"Lord Lei, will you be doing okay at the end?" The man stood up and walked towards him.
This person is the defender of Zhangning County, Liu Xiang.
Lei Luo glanced at the crowd and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it seems that they have been deceived by your illusion. Now you can all go back to yourselves and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
"Yes." After Liu Xiang took the order, he waved to let him back off.
At this time, there were only two people left in the hall, and Liu Xiang couldn't hide his doubts, "His Royal Highness has tried so hard to make me wait for this scene, will it be a bit superfluous?"
"Don't doubt His Royal Highness's intentions," Lei Luo looked at Liu Xiang disapprovingly, "Xiao Xu is very cunning, and his subordinates are not fuel-efficient lamps. Far!"
"Yes, yes, Master Lei has taught me a lesson, so when will our people act?" Liu Xiang immediately slapped himself and asked diligently.
"It's tentatively scheduled to be dawn, but if the plan changes, I'll let you know again." Lei Luo waved his hand after finishing speaking, "Go and do your job, if it succeeds, I will speak a few words for you in front of the Crown Prince. "
"Then I'll thank Master Lei first here." Liu Xiang was overjoyed, and after speaking, he immediately greeted the people and went down.
Leroy stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
Everything is waiting for dawn.
Daybreak is only a few days away.
On the top of the mountain, Xiao Xu turned his back to Zhangning County, looked at the black army in front of him, and said solemnly, "This battle will be handed over to you, let's go!"
As soon as the voice fell, the 30,000-strong army marched neatly towards Zhangning County.
The cavalry was in front, the archers took over, and at the rear of the infantry hall, looking down from the mountain, it seemed like a dense group of ants were encircling Zhangning County.
"I heard that there are only 20,000 soldiers in the city, and we have 30,000, so it shouldn't be a problem." Cheng Yanluo looked at her from a distance and muttered subconsciously.
The ethereal voice on the side heard it, and the tone was soothing, "If there is no accident, it will not be a problem to win."
"You said it as if you didn't!" Cheng Yanluo glared at him and turned to leave.
Kong Ling touched his nose, a little embarrassed.
When the people in the city saw the signal light up, they all stood up.
Although they hadn't slept all night, everyone's eyes lit up, like beasts ready to go, waiting for Chu Qingyan's order.
After Chu Qingyan counted the number of people, she immediately ordered, "Okay, while it's still before dawn, let's go to the north gate, deal with the soldiers guarding the city, and then open the gate and let our people in."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
"Okay, let's go!" Chu Qingyan turned around and led the crowd out of the alley, ready to go to the North City Gate.
However, as soon as Chu Qingyan came out of the alley, she felt that something was wrong in the air, she jumped up and took two steps back.
When she stood firm, she had a long arrow in her mouth, and a row of arrow feathers had already been inserted where she had just stood.
She stared straight ahead.
On the top of the mountain, Xiao Xu looked at the direction of Zhangning County, and his robes were automatic without wind.
Suddenly, his face changed slightly, "No, I've been tricked!"
The battalion lieutenant standing beside him did not hear what he said, and immediately stepped forward to ask, "General, but what's wrong?"
Xiao Xu's expression was as cold as frost, "The other party already knows our strategy, and now they are planning it."
"Then what should we do? Do we need the Admiral to call them back?" The first battalion lieutenant looked flustered.
"It's too late, Tu Ling and the others have started to move, and the army has already begun to attack the city." Xiao Xu's lips pursed into a line.
The other party planned to kill the little guys in the city, and then deal with the army outside the city.
I didn't expect that they were already prepared. Which link went wrong
"Then what should we do?" The first battalion lieutenant looked blank and looked back at the city. The army had all arrived and couldn't stop. If they retreat, they will ignore the elites sent by the city.
"Prepare the horse!" Xiao Xu strode past a battalion lieutenant, preparing to descend the mountain.
"General, you can't go, the front is too dangerous! You can't do it!" A battalion deputy general reacted, the general was going to the battlefield in person, and he quickly stopped him.
"This king will not watch the soldiers die in vain!" Xiao Xu's voice was so deep that he could drop water.
The first battalion lieutenant was weakened by Xiao Xu's aura that blocked my death.
And at this moment, Jinxin ran quickly, "Your Highness, do you mean that the master is in danger?"
Xiao Xu's pupils shrank when he saw Jinxin, "You are not following Ayan, why are you here?"
"Master, let your subordinates stay to protect you!" Jinxin explained anxiously.
Xiao Xu was shocked, his eyes fell on Zhangning County, and innumerable emotions flashed in his eyes.
In the end, he took the horse brought by the soldiers and made a decisive decision, "Go to Zhangning County first!"
As soon as the voice fell, a group of Nan Cang soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Want to leave? It's too late! Xiao Xu, you are now in danger!"
