Late Tang

The grass grows, the warblers fly, and the wild flowers bloom.

The stream at the bottom of the valley runs, meandering through the grassland, and the moonlight shimmers on the water.

By the stream, the silver war horse neighed softly, and stretched out its hooves to dig open the grass full of purple flowers.She suddenly pricked up her ears and listened carefully.She heard light footsteps, although the sound was so weak that it seemed hazy and indistinct.

"Aunt Lan!"

Murong Xue got up and shouted into the empty night.

The bonfire beside him flickered on and off, reflecting a beautiful figure in a silver palace attire.

"Xue'er, are you really determined to leave?" In the distant night, a soft voice sounded, with a sigh in his tone.It's reluctance, it's pity.

Murong Xue stood in the night wind, holding the sword in her left hand, and unconsciously picked up a jade pendant around her neck with her right hand.The jade pendant is still warm, and has been treasured in the girl's heart.

"The grassland is no longer peaceful, and the iron hooves of Khitan and Shatuo are killing innocent herdsmen."

"That's not the real reason for you to leave." As the voice sounded, a curvaceous young woman appeared nearby. The young woman in purple palace attire also held a sword. Under the moonlight, she and the girl were stunningly beautiful.

Two beauties who were out of tune with the grassland stood under the moonlight bonfire, relatively speechless.

a long time.

"Xue'er, you chose to leave at the beginning, didn't you already decide to let go? Why do you want to go back today?" Aunt Lan said with some heartache.

Murong Xue bit her red lips lightly with jade teeth, her expression was a little disappointed.

"I won't go back again. If I go back again, there is no place for me beside him." After whispering so low that only she could hear, she raised her head and said firmly, "Aunt Lan, I just went out to do something. I'll be back when I'm done."

Looking at this beautiful girl who is both a student and a girl, how could the young woman not know what she was thinking in her heart, and how could she not know what she said to do one thing.

"Are you going to assassinate Khitan Yi Lijin or the one-eyed wolf? Or are you going to kill them, Liu Yue, Gao Pian and others together?" Turn around. Even if you are a powerful killer, they are not ordinary people."

During this period of time, the young woman had already noticed that the girl was restless, and after observing, she guessed the girl's mind.Li Jing was in trouble recently, and this little girl actually planned to take the risk of assassinating the Khitan leader and King Shatuo.

She knew that although Xueer left Li Jing at the beginning, she never let him go in her heart.Although she lives in seclusion outside the Great Wall with her, she has been paying attention to Li Jing.Right now, there are rumors outside the Great Wall that Khitan, Shatuo and the four towns in Hebei are going to join forces to deal with Li Jing, but Li Jing is still being dragged in Jianghuai by Gao Pian at this time.

She didn't expect that Xue'er would take the risk to assassinate the leaders of Khitan and Shatuo to help Li Jing.

Why is this silly girl, a peerless assassin, so stupid when it comes to emotional matters?

The girl didn't answer her words. Seeing this, Aunt Lan sighed. She knew her surname, and even now, even she couldn't persuade her to return.

"Since that's the case, Aunt Lan is with you. Back then, Li Jing spared my death and avenged your Aunt Mei. This time, it's his debt."

Murong Xue looked at Aunt Lan in surprise and gratitude, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't say anything.

"Who do you plan to fight first?" Aunt Lan asked.

"Ancient Yelupu."

Aunt Lan shook her head, "Although Khitan is Li Jing's serious problem right now, Pu Guzhi is not a good target."

"Why?"

"Although Pu Gu is Yi Li Jin of Khitan, in fact the real power in Khitan is the father of Pu Gu Zhi who served as Yi Li Jin nine times. Even if you kill Pu Gu Zhi and his father, if you kill his father, The Shili family is also in power. I think our first target should be Liu Yue from Youzhou Town."

Aunt Lan explained with a smile: "Liu Yue is the weakest among the four towns in Hebei and the Khitan and Shatuo alliance. But his territory is located between all parties, connecting the other three towns in Hebei to the south, Shatuo to the west, and Khitan. As long as Liu Yue dies, Youzhou will be in chaos, and Li Keyong has been keeping a close eye on Youzhou, and maybe he will take the opportunity to invade Youzhou."

Murong Xue is good at assassination by action, but weaker in this kind of analysis.Hearing Aunt Lan's words, she nodded.

Aunt Lan and Murong Xue sat side by side in front of the fire, closed their eyes to rest, and sighed in their hearts, that's all, for Xue'er, the old lady came out of the rivers and lakes again.

The south bank of the Huaihe River!

After marching for ten miles in the rain, Zhu Xuan finally arrived outside the Huai army camp.

At this time, the wet Zhu Xuan was only ten steps away from the gate of the Huai army camp.

If this distance was on a clear day, he would have died by the arrows from the arrow tower on the wooden wall.Even on an ordinary night, he would have been killed by the night watchman long ago.

But tonight, he entered the camp for the next ten steps, and no one noticed him at all.

The torrential rain made it impossible to see your fingers in the dark night, and the sound of the huge rain perfectly covered the sound of their actions, allowing them to quietly go outside the camp without anyone knowing.Zhu Xuan tried his best to sweep his eyes across the opposite wall, but he saw neither the patrol team nor the sentry post on the village.

The heavy rain tonight made the sergeants on duty slack. At this time, they were hiding in various places to avoid the rain. No one noticed that Qin Jun had already killed him.

And even if they took precautions, the defenders in the stronghold barely stared at the north, but no one thought that the Qin army would choose to land ten miles upstream of the camp on this rainy night, and then marched all the way to the south of the camp.

There is a camp of [-] civilian husbands.

After reaching out and making a defensive gesture, Zhu Xuan crouched in the rain.

A moment later, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Marine War issued an order, and the whole army launched an attack fifteen minutes later, targeting the civilian camp of the Huai Army.

The Marine Corps is a new type of army of the Qin Army. It is not only an infantry army, but at the same time it is not completely the same as an ordinary infantry army.The Marine Corps has eight armies, four navy armies, and two navy and marine armies for each army.The Navy and Marine Corps all select seaside fighters along rivers and lakes who have studied in the water, and receive special training such as special land and water coordinated operations, beach landing operations, etc.

The [-]th Army and the [-]th Army are both marine armies attached to the Raging Wave Army of the Fourth Navy Army. The order passed down by the [-]th Army is to air strike the civilian camp of the Huai Army to create chaos.

Bugles sounded in the distance, low and plaintive, chilling.

Zhu Xuan took off the water bottle from his waist and opened it, and took two mouthfuls with his neck raised.Immediately, a fire rose from his stomach, and his whole body seemed to be ignited. He had just been drenched in the rain in the middle of the night, and the exhaustion and coldness of the rapid march were swept away.

Exhaling the breath of alcohol forcefully, Zhu Xuan's eyes glowed red, and his blood boiled with excitement.

At this time, the [-] marines of the right battalion in the front of the Seventh Army had already drank a few sips of burning knives, and the whole battalion became excited in an instant.The burning knives specially equipped by the Marine Corps are special equipment for solving situations such as rain, crossing rivers, and water battles.A couple of mouthfuls before the battle, the whole person will be excited, whether it is raining, cold, or exhausted from marching, it can get immediate results.

The spear shook.

Zhu Xuan breathed out a breath of alcohol, pointed forward, and rushed to the Huai army civilian camp first with a roar.

The five hundred generals from the right battalion in the front compartment charged forward like a tiger out of its cage.Immediately afterwards, more soldiers of the Qin Army also rushed out.

During the heavy rain, the conscripts of the Huai army's civilian husband camp hid in the leaky tents, and they were all exhausted from the rain in the middle of the night. At this moment, countless fierce spirits rushed out of the rain, raised their guns and waved The knife, slashing left and right, will kill the generals like a tide.

The Huai army and civilian husbands were stunned, and a large area was submerged in an instant.

When the soldiers of the Huai army stationed in the civilian camp reacted, the Qin army was already unstoppable, and the civilian husbands were crying for their fathers and mothers, collapsing and fleeing.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's Qin Jun!"

...

"Run, Qin Jun is coming."

"Run away, the northern camp is broken!"

"The Huai army was defeated."

"General Gao Yu died in battle!"

......

In the rainy night, the Huai army camp was rapidly collapsing. Starting from the civilian camp, it gradually became more and more chaotic. Finally, the entire civilian camp completely collapsed. Then, amidst the black lights and rumors and panic, it quickly spread to the Chinese camp. , North Daying, West Daying, East Daying...

In the confusion, Gao Yu woke up from his dream, trying to know what happened.But no one could tell him what happened. He wanted to call up the army, but countless chaotic troops poured into his central army like a tide. Immediately afterwards, countless Qin troops drove and killed him from behind.

Gao Yu and more than a thousand personal guards around him were engulfed by the torrent, floating and sinking.Reluctant along the way, he was rushed out of his camp in a daze.

After leaving the camp, the situation around me got better.Those Qin troops didn't seem to be in a hurry to chase them down, or in other words, the number of Qin troops who attacked might not be large.Gao Yu judged this way because those Qin soldiers had been rushing and killing in the camp, and did not chase and kill those who left the camp.

With this respite, Gao Yu finally found Yao Guili, Yu Gongchu and other generals slowly, gathered their respective troops, and managed to gather more than ten thousand troops.It can be regarded as barely restraining the chaotic collapse.

"Where did the Qin army come from?" Gao Yu was still in shock, resentful and ashamed, holding fifty thousand soldiers in his hands, and was beaten out of his hands.I was careless, thinking that the Huai River was separated, and if there was heavy rain, the night would relax.But I didn't expect that Li Jing would be able to have what he is today.

"The chaos started at the civilian camp in the southern camp first." Yao Guili had disheveled hair, was shirtless, and rode a horse, in a state of embarrassment. "It seems that the Qin army is very likely to cross the river upstream, and then go around to the south camp to attack, causing chaos, and then drive away the civilians and disperse the other barracks, creating even greater chaos."

Gao Yu didn't like Zhuge Liang after the fact, all he thought about was how to save the defeat.

"Gather your men and horses, counterattack and take back the camp."

"Young commander is not allowed." Yu Gongchu persuaded immediately. "At present, our army is in chaos. We are counterattacking at this time. The morale of the army is low. It is not suitable to fight again. It is better to return to Chuzhou to gather troops and horses. After the rain clears, we will lead troops and horses to fight again."

The other generals also echoed. The situation of the enemy is not clear at the moment, even how many people from the Qin army are fighting, and everyone is in chaos. Most of the soldiers have run away. It is too risky to fight in the rainy night at this time.

Seeing this, Gao Yu had no choice but to nod in the end, and sent someone to send an order to withdraw back to Chuzhou City for the time being. (To be continued.)
