The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the wildflowers bloom.

The valley floor stream rushes through the grassland, and the moonlight sparkles on the water.

By the stream, the silver horses neighed softly, stretching out their hooves to cut through the grass full of small purple flowers. She pricked up her ears and listened. She heard light footsteps, though they were faint and faint.

"Aunt Lan!"

Murong Xue got up and shouted into the empty night.

The bonfire beside him flickered on and off, reflecting the shadow of a silver palace dress.

"Cher, are you really up to leaving?" In the distance in the 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 a sword in her left hand, and unconsciously picked up a jade pendant around her neck with her right hand. The jade pendant still has a body temperature and has always been cherished in the girl's heart.

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

"That's not the real reason for you to leave." As the voice sounded, a graceful young woman appeared nearby, and the young woman in a purple palace dress also carried a sword.

Two beauties who were incompatible with the grassland stood under the moonlit bonfire, relatively speechless.

Long.

"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 Xueyu bit her red lips lightly, her expression a little stunned.

"I'm not going back, and if I go back, there's no place for me next to him." The low ones are only after the whispers that they can hear. She looked up. His eyes were firm, and he said, "Aunt Lan." I'm just out there to do one thing, and I'll be back when I'm done. ”

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

"Are you going to assassinate the Khitan or to assassinate the one-eyed wolf? Or are you going to kill them along with Liu Yue, Gao Biao and others? The young woman pleaded a little: "Xue'er, since you are leaving, don't look back." Even if you're a great killer, they're not ordinary people. ”

During this time, the young woman had long been aware of the girl's uncertainty. After observation, she guessed the girl's mind. Li Jing has been in trouble recently, and this little girl actually plans to take the risk of assassinating the Khitan leader and the king of Shatuo.

She knew that although Xue'er had left Li Jing at the beginning, she had never let go of him in her heart. Although he lived in seclusion with her, he had been paying attention to Li Jing. At present, it is rumored outside the Sai that Khitan and Shatuo and the four towns of Hebei are going to join forces to deal with Li Jing, but Li Jing is still being dragged by Gao Biao in Jianghuai at this time.

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

This silly girl, a peerless assassin, why is she so stupid when she encounters emotional things.

The maiden did not answer her words. Seeing this, Aunt Lan sighed. She knew her character, and even she couldn't persuade her back until now.

"In this case, Aunt Lan is with you, Li Jing spared me to die at the beginning, and avenged your Aunt Mei, even if it is to repay his debts this time."

Murong Xue looked at Aunt Lan with some surprise and gratitude, her tears couldn't stop flowing, but she couldn't say anything.

"Who are you going to do first?" Aunt Lan asked.

"Jerupugus."

Aunt Lan shook her head, "Although the Khitan is a big problem for Li Jingzhi right now, Pu Guzhi is not a good target. ”

"Why?"

"Although Pu Gu is only the Khitan Yi Li Jin, in fact, the real power of the Khitan is the father of Pu Gu Zhi, who has been the nine Yi Li Jin. Even if you kill Pu Guzhi and his father, and kill his father, there is still the Shili family in power. Our first goal, I think we should choose Liu Yue in Youzhou Town. ”

Aunt Lan explained with a smile: "Liu Yue is the weakest one among the four towns of Hebei and the Khitan and Shatuo alliances. But his territory is between all sides, connecting the other three towns of Hebei in the south, Shatuo in the west, and Khitan in the north. As long as Liu Yue dies, Youzhou will be in chaos, and Li Keyong has been eyeing Youzhou, maybe he will take the opportunity to invade Youzhou. ”

Murong Xue is good at assassination, but she is weaker in this analysis. After listening to Aunt Lan's words, she nodded.

Aunt Lan and Murong Xue sat side by side in front of the fire, closed their eyes and rested, and sighed in their hearts, that's it, for Xue'er, the old lady is back in the rivers and lakes again.

The south bank of the Huai River!

After a forced march of ten miles in the rain, Zhu Xuan finally arrived outside the Huai army camp.

At this time, Zhu Xuan, who was drenched, was only ten steps away from the barracks of the Huai Army camp.

If this distance had been in the fine day, he would have died under the arrows of the arrow tower on the wooden wall. Even on an ordinary night, he had already been killed by the Night's Watch.

But tonight, he entered the camp ten steps down, and no one on the other side noticed it.

The pouring rain made the night invisible to the five fingers, and the huge sound of rain was the perfect sound to help them cover the action, allowing them to quietly touch the outside of the camp and no one knew the way. Zhu Xuan tried his best to sweep his gaze over the wall on the opposite side, and saw neither the patrol nor the sentry on the wall.

Tonight's heavy rain made the sergeants on duty slack, and at this time they hid everywhere to avoid the rain, and no one found out at all that the Qin army had actually killed him.

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

There, the camp of 50,000 people.

After reaching out and making a gesture of defending on the spot, Zhu Xuan squatted in the rain.

A moment later, the commander of the Seventh Marine Army issued an order, and a quarter of an hour later the whole army launched an attack, targeting the Huai Army Civilian Battalion.

The Marine Corps is a new type of unit of the Qin army, which is not only an infantry army, but at the same time it is not exactly the same as an ordinary infantry army. The Marine Corps has eight corps, four naval divisions, each with two marine divisions. Marines and marines are all selected to train along the coast, along rivers and lakes in a water-based manner, and receive special training in coordinated operations on land and water, beach and landing operations, and so on.

The Seventh Army and the Eighth Army were both land armies belonging to the Fourth Army of the Naval Division, and the order handed down by the Seventh Army was to attack the Huai Army Civilian Battalion and create chaos.

A military horn sounded in the distance. Low and mournful. It's chilling.

Zhu Xuan took off the kettle at his waist and opened it. As soon as he raised his neck, he poured two large mouthfuls. Suddenly, a fiery fire rose from the belly, and the whole person seemed to be ignited, and it had just been rained in the middle of the night, and the fatigue and coldness of the rapid march were swept away.

Exhaled a mouthful of wine vigorously, Zhu Xuan's eyes glowed red, and his whole body was boiling.

At this time, the 500 marines of the right battalion in the front compartment of the Seventh Army had already drunk a few sips of burning knives, and the entire battalion instantly became excited. The burnt knives specially equipped by the Marine Corps are specially equipped to solve the situation of rain, river crossing, water warfare, etc. Two mouthfuls before the war. The whole person was excited, whether it was raining, cold, or tired, they could get immediate results.

The spear shook.

Zhu Xuan exhaled a breath of wine, pointed forward, and took the lead in rushing towards the Huai army and civilian camp with a roar.

The five hundred of the right battalion in the front compartment will be like a tiger out of the cage and pounce out. Immediately afterwards, more soldiers of the Qin army also pounced.

In the torrential rain, the conscripts in the Huai army and civilian camp hid in leaky tents, drenched in the rain for most of the night. One by one, too, was exhausted, at this moment. Suddenly, countless fierce gods and evil spirits rushed out of the rain, raising their guns and wielding knives, slashing left and right, and killing like a tide.

The Huai soldiers and civilians were stunned, and they were instantly submerged in a large area.

When the Huai soldiers stationed in the Minfu camp reacted, the Qin army was already unstoppable, and the Minfu were crying and crying for their mothers and scattered and fled.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's Qin Jun!"

"Run, the Qin army is coming."

"Escape, the north camp is broken!"

"The Huai army was defeated."

"General Gao Yu died in battle!"

The Huai army camp in the rainy night is rapidly collapsing, starting from the Minfu camp, gradually becoming more and more chaotic, and the entire Minfu camp completely collapsed after the last day, and then in the black light, a rumor panic, quickly swept and spread to the Chinese army camp, the North Day, the West Camp, and the East Camp

In the chaos, Gao Yu woke up from his dream, and he tried to know what was going on. But no one could tell him what was going on, he wanted to gather the army, but countless chaotic troops poured into his Chinese army like a tide, and then countless Qin troops drove and killed him from behind.

Gao Yu and more than a thousand guards around him were carried by the torrent, carrying floats and sank. All the way reluctantly, he was rushed out of his camp in a daze.

After leaving the camp, the situation around me was a little better. Those Qin troops did not seem to be in a hurry to pursue them, or rather, the Qin troops that attacked them may not be numerous. Gao Yu judged this because those Qin troops had been rushing in the camp and had not chased and killed those who left the camp.

With this respite, Gao Yu finally slowly found Yao Guili, Yu Gongchu and other generals, gathered their respective soldiers and horses, and barely gathered more than 10,000 people. It was barely able to stop the chaotic rout.

"Where did the Qin army come from?" Gao Yu was a little frightened, resentful and ashamed in his heart, holding 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he was actually beaten away. I was careless, thinking that there was a Huai River separating me, and then there was heavy rain, and the night was relaxed. didn't expect that Li Jing could have today, and how could he be an idle person.

"First of all, it started to be chaotic from the Minfu camp in Nanying." Yao Guili was disheveled, shirtless, riding a horse, and was embarrassed. "It seems that it is very likely that the Qin army will cross the river upstream, and then go around to Nanying to launch an attack, causing chaos, and then drive the people to disperse the other barracks, creating even greater chaos."

Gao Yu didn't have a good impression of such hindsight, all he thought about was how to redeem the defeat.

"Gather men and horses, counterattack and recapture the camp."

"Young marshal, no." Yu Gongchu immediately persuaded. "At the moment, our army is in chaos, and at this time the counterattack is low, and the morale of the army is low, and it is not suitable to fight again. It is better to return to Chuzhou for the time being to gather the soldiers and horses, and then lead the soldiers and horses to fight after the rain has passed. ”

Other generals also echoed it, the current enemy situation is unknown, even how many people from the Qin army are coming, there is also chaos around everyone, most of the soldiers have run away, and it is too risky to fight in the rainy night at this time.

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