Chapter 613 Escape
The Lord of Zheng, Zheng Bing, is commanding the Imperial Forest Army to storm the defense line of Changde Base on the high ground south of Changyu Base. Both sides have suffered heavy losses these days, but Zheng Bing believes that this time he will unify Annan Kingdom and complete the unfinished business of his ancestors and fathers for generations. career.

"My lord, our soldiers picked up the note that was handed down from above under the Changde Fortress, and here is it." The general of the Zheng family who was supervising the battle in the front handed the note he picked up to Zheng Bing.

"What the hell is the Ruan family doing? Instead of fighting a good war, they are passing the note? Could it be that they want to surrender?" Zheng Bing seemed to be talking to himself while taking the note.

After reading the contents of the note, Zheng Bing beamed with joy: "Hahaha, the Kyushu Army really lived up to expectations. It really betrayed the Ruan family as agreed, and even counterattacked Hoi An Port, posing a threat to Fuchun City. Look at this Once again, does Ruan Fuxi still have the heart to continue to stop us at Changde Base?"

"My lord, forgive me for taking the liberty. I have also read the contents of these notes. The Ruan family requested a temporary truce with us to jointly deal with the Kyushu Army that landed in Hoi An Port. Don't they know that the Kyushu Army has been bought by us? Is it? You are so stupid as to ask us for help." said the general who sent the note.

"How could they have thought that the Kyushu Army, which they valued so much, would betray them? And they were bought by us. It seems that the capture of Fuchun City is just around the corner..."

As Zheng Bing talked, he seemed to think of something, his voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally stopped abruptly.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" The general of the Zheng family asked, seeing that Zheng Bing was strange.

"Oops, the note from the Ruan family reminded this king!" Zheng Bing's face turned pale, "Hurry up and come over to Shopkeeper Jia, I want to make sure!"

"Master Jia?" General Zheng asked in confusion.

"It's just a few big businessmen who contacted us from the Kyushu Army. They are in the barracks." Zheng Bing urged, "If they don't come, catch them, hurry up!"

"Yes!" Although the general of the Zheng family couldn't understand why Zheng Bing suddenly sought out the contact person of the Kyushu Army here, but the emperor's order was dictatorial, and he just led the troops to invite people.

In a fairly good tent in the camp, there were a few liaisons from the Kyushu Army, who brought the firearms to support the Zheng family from Guangzhou, so they were well received in the Zheng family camp. treatment.

After the generals of the Zheng family broke into the military tent, they found that the military tent was empty, and there was no contact person of the Kyushu Army.

"Where are the people from the Kyushu Army?" The general of the Zheng family looked for the small captain who was guarding the tent with a dark face.

"Returning to the general, they said that they were going to inspect the front line early in the morning, and they also said that it was the order of the master. The younger ones did not dare to stop them, so they asked two soldiers to protect them." The captain didn't know what happened. It's a serious matter, but seeing the look on his face is so bad, he can't help but walk on eggshells.

"What about the two soldiers?"

"They haven't come back yet..."

"You bastard!" The general of the Zheng family slapped the squad leader hard, but the squad leader dared not speak out despite the pain.

Having lost the traces of several contacts of the Kyushu Army, the general of the Zheng family did not immediately take people to Changyu Base.The camp is between Changyu Lei and Changde Lei, with mountains and forests to the west, the sea to the east, and Changde Base in fierce battle to the south. If the Kyushu Army wanted to escape, they had to go through Changyu Lei.

When the generals of the Zheng family rushed to Changyu base non-stop, they found that several members of the Kyushu army had already left Changyu base under the guise of Zheng Bing's order.And when they passed the customs, the two soldiers who protected them had disappeared, and they were probably silenced.

"Damn it!" The general of the Zheng family lashed the city wall of Changyu Base fiercely with his horsewhip. After his anger subsided a little, he said to his left and right subordinates, "Let's go back."

At the mouth of the river, there was already a fishing boat waiting for Zhang Yuan and the others who escaped successfully. When Zhang Yuan and his party boarded the boat, they breathed a sigh of relief.The fishing boat let go of the ropes tied to the stakes on the shore and went down the river.

Wei Long sat down on the wooden chair and poured tea into the teacup: "I'm thirsty to death. This time is really too dangerous. Fortunately, we moved fast enough. I said Zhang Yuan, can we not take such risks in the future?" , I still have to follow Zheng Bing to the front line."

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get a tiger cub, and if you don't take Zheng Bing as a hostage in the barracks, how can you eliminate his worries?" Zhang Yuan sat down unceremoniously, and took a straw fan beside him to fan the wind.

"This time we arranged carefully and played tricks on the Ruan family and the Zheng family. I don't know how they will respond when they know the truth? If it were me, I'm afraid I'd just jump into this river and drown." Wei Long said.

"The worst outcome for us is that they join forces to deal with us. But unfortunately, we also sent two troops, so they will only fight with each other. Zheng Yi heard that our army's independent corps sent troops to town Nanguan, Honghe will definitely return to Ascend Dragon City, and fight to the death with the Independent Corps. And the Ruan family will go south to rescue Fuchun City." Zhang Yuan speculated.

"I saw in the Zheng family's barracks these days that many soldiers of the Zheng family were killed or injured in the battle against Changde Base, and their fighting spirit and morale were almost worn down. Our independent corps trained for a year, and the morale was at its peak. You can see it." Although Wei Long is the head of intelligence, he can also imagine the result of the Zheng family meeting the Independent Corps.

"It's one thing to be able to win, but another to do so," Zhang Yuan said.

"Hey, we made another contribution this time. I have to say that this feeling of calculating others is really pleasant. I wish I could do it a few more times." Wei Long drank several cups of tea in a row before quenching his thirst.

"Hey, hey, you're one of the high-level officials in the intelligence department. It's really creepy to say such a thing." Zhang Yuan shouted.

"I'm just joking." Wei Long said shyly.

The fishing boats floated down the river, and no one thought that the seemingly ordinary people on these fishing boats had plotted against an overlord.

boom!The wooden village collapsed and fell apart under the shelling of the artillery!The soldiers of the Zheng family who had shot at the Kyushu army on the wooden village fell down with the wooden village before they could escape.

"The Kyushu army is attacking!" The soldiers of the Zheng family who were trapped in the wooden village fell into a panic.

The Muzhai gate, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was as fragile as the straw without the autumn harvest under the shelling of the advanced artillery of the Kyushu Army.

"Surrender, don't kill!" The soldiers of the Kyushu Army poured in with muskets in their hands, and surrounded the soldiers of the Zheng family in the wooden village in several ways, shouting the local dialect they had just learned.

Changyi, the head of the Independent Corps, came in surrounded by a group of soldiers, looked around at these Zheng family soldiers and the people living in the wooden village: "Hand over your weapons, and you will accept the management of the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi from now on."
