Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sleepless Night Patrol Asks Right, and the Sneak Attack Unfolds in the Dead of Night

The next day, as everyone thought. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Shi Hui and Zhang Dehui's armies joined, all the armies launched an attack together. The sound of thick cannons and billowing gunsmoke exploded on the city again and again, and completely destroyed the thousand-year-old city wall, leaving only one ruin after another.

Fortunately, the Red Phoenix Army was united and continued to resist with the fortifications built before, but it was able to barely support it.

However, people's energy is limited after all, and if they continue to persevere, they will inevitably be depleted of the food, gunpowder and all kinds of materials that have been stored for many years, and they will be completely defeated.

In this way, in just a few days, the Red Phoenix Army has sacrificed more than 1,000 soldiers, and of course, the Mongolian army has also suffered a lot of damage, at least more than 3,000 people, basically according to the loss ratio of one to three. However, the opponent was outnumbered, and even though the death toll was as high as more than 3,000, the loss was only one-twentieth of the entire army, and it could not hurt the root at all.

But the Red Phoenix Army has already sacrificed more than one-tenth, such a huge sacrifice can be described as a nerve-wracking, and as the soldiers continue to sacrifice, I am afraid that there will be more and more soldiers sacrificed in the future, until they can no longer support it.

Faced with such a predicament, Yu Wenwei had no choice but to organize soldiers to resist, while gathering his generals to continue to discuss ways to see if he could find out the weaknesses of the other party, and then be able to defeat the other party.

No, now Yang Chan and Yu Cheng have come out of the city with a team of about 100 people, preparing to attack the enemy camp all night and destroy the other party's grain and grass storehouse.

At this time, it is already autumn time, the autumn wind is whining, and the cold air enters the body, which makes people feel cold, and they can't help but shrink their necks and rub their hands so that they can recover some temperature.

Walking in this cold autumn, Zhang Hongfan did not dare to hesitate, and still patrolled around in the middle of the night, and before he walked to a brightly lit military village, his eyebrows tightened unconsciously, just because this was the place where the army's military rations were stored. In order to ensure the safety of the military rations, he has always sent his own right-hand men to guard them, and patrol day and night to prevent any mistakes.

But at this moment, a voice was heard in the distance.

"It turned out to be General Zhang, I don't know what happened when General Zhang came over late at night?"

This person is Kong Yuancuo, after he and Miaoshan joined, he was entrusted by Zhang Hongfan with the important task of being responsible for the management of this grain. Kong Yuancuo is a scholarly family, naturally understands the righteousness, and knows the importance of grain and grass in the army, of course, he took over this position unceremoniously, and guards here day and night to avoid any accidents.

"Mr. Kong. Zhang Hongfan bowed down and replied: "I just can't sleep peacefully because I am restless, and I think of the current crisis of the Red Phoenix Army, I am afraid that they will secretly make some moves, so I came here to visit and inspect before, so as not to have accidents." ”

Kong Yuancuo replied: "I see. It's just that General Zhang is worried about something?"

"You know what I am worried about, it is this matter of food and grass. After all, this grain and grass is related to the life of the whole army, and if there is any accident, it will be really over. Zhang Hongfan frowned, and he didn't dare to have the slightest wings.

"It's okay. Kong Yuancuo shook his head again and again, but stretched out his index finger, middle finger and ring finger, and said with a smile: "I also know the urgency of food, how dare I relax in the slightest? Not to mention the three holes of the cunning rabbit, do you think that the grain and grass of the whole army are only stored here?"

"Oh, is there any mystery in this?" Zhang Hongfan was slightly surprised and opened his mouth to ask.

He has always adhered to the principle that there is no need for suspicious people and no suspicion of employing people, so after handing over the military grain to Kong Yuancuo for management, he did not interfere much. Looking at Kong Yuancuo's appearance now, it is obvious that this guy should have adopted various means to ensure the safety of food.

Sure enough, Kong Yuancuo nodded and said, "That's right." As you know, after I took on the task of managing the grain and grass, I built three grain and grass warehouses in this barracks. And these three grain and grass warehouses are only a few miles away from each other, and even if one place catches fire, it will not affect the others. But did you know that when this granary was first designed, it was able to fill the entire army with grain and grass!"

"Full?"

Slightly surprised, Zhang Hongfan swept his eyes over the tall grain and grass, and a little surprise flashed in his expression.

Under the light of the bonfire, dozens of granaries were lined up in the barracks in front of him, each of which was about one zhang high and more than two zhang wide, enough to fill dozens of loads of grain. The walls were made of rough wood, so hard that ordinary crossbow muskets could break it, and a layer of mud was more than three feet thick on top of the wood to ensure that it would not be ignited by open flames.

Such a style can be described as solid.

Kong Yuancuo looked up to the sky and smiled, but with a bit of mystery: "Just as you think." Every day I move the grain in this granary, and I move back and forth between the three granaries. Soldiers outside the granary are often replaced, so that no one will know about the secrets. As the saying goes, the real is the false, and the virtual is the real, General Zhang, you can rest assured, I will never let this happen. ”

"I see. Zhang Hongfan smiled with relief, and immediately handed it over, saying, "Then this matter will be handled by Your Excellency." After that, he only felt tired, and he couldn't help but play a few haha, then said goodbye to Kong Yuancuo and returned to the military tent, ready to rest.

Kong Yuancuo only looked at Zhang Hongfan, who was far away, and also muttered: "Of course it will be dealt with properly." What's more, with a few mice, don't you think you can bully the door?" smiled coldly, but he was tied behind his back, and he returned to his military tent.

Probably because it was obscured by the clouds, the moon was no longer bright tonight, and only a few sparse stars were still twinkling in the sky.

And outside the barracks, in the messy grass, I don't know when there are more black shadows on the white road.

These black shadows were gray, wrapped in thick clothes, and their faces were wrapped in strips of cloth so as not to reveal their appearance, and they also carried a gray-brown bag behind their backs, which was a little long, half the size of a man, and it was unknown what was hidden inside.

They are the death squad sent by Yu Wenwei to burn the grain and grass.

Looking carefully at the soldiers patrolling in the distance, Yu Cheng asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that the information we got is true?"

According to what Staff Officer Zhao said, it should be true. At the beginning, it was that person who reported the news, so that I and others knew the other party's actions in advance, and then avoided the other party's attack. Yang Chan replied, his eyes unblinking as he looked at the soldiers walking in the distance.

This plan is to go deep into the enemy's camp to carry out the mission, and ordinary people can't escape from this place at all, so Yu Wenwei let Yu Cheng and Yang Chan go, even if they can't achieve the task with the strength of the two, at least they can retreat with their whole body, and they won't fall into the possibility of dying in a foreign land.

At this moment, they were already close to the land of the army's rations, but the guards in front of them were too tight, and they did not dare to attack rashly, so as not to fall into the trap.

Now that they are in the enemy camp, they naturally need to be cautious.

"But why do I feel something is wrong?"

Yang Chan looked carefully at the soldiers who were carrying hand cannons, but there was something wrong.

Yu Cheng asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think the soldiers here are too strict?" Yang Chan said, pointing to the soldiers walking in the distance.

Yu Cheng carefully knocked on the opponent's lineup, and saw that every soldier in the barracks was wearing hard iron armor, carrying two scimitars at his waist, and carrying the huge hand cannon on his back.

With such a configuration, they can already be regarded as elite soldiers, but this is the case with each of them here?

When Yu Cheng saw these soldiers, he was not surprised: "You mean, the soldiers here are too powerful?"

"That's right. ”

Yang Chan explained: "This grain and grass warehouse is an important place in the military camp, so it is naturally impossible to send ordinary soldiers to guard it. But you also know that this grain and grass warehouse is located in the heart of the army, and if you want to burn the grain and grass, you need to break through the outside blockade to break into here and burn the grain and grass. Therefore, the configuration of soldiers is generally not so strong, because their task is only to patrol and guard, and it is not their task to attack the city. These people are so strong that it's like knowing that there will be a fight. ”

"You mean, maybe they knew we were coming?"

"It's not impossible. You also know that our army has placed spies in the opposing army, but the other party also has spies in our army. If our actions are exposed, then the other side will only be afraid that they will also fight-for-tat, laying traps waiting for us to step in. ”

There is some truth to this. What should we do? Give up this mission?" Although he felt that it was a pity, Yu Cheng didn't plan to bury his life here easily, so he asked to see how the other party planned it.

Yang Chan shook his head, but said, "It's not." After all, wouldn't it be a pity if I had worked so hard to sneak here?"

"Then your opinion is to continue the attack?" Yu Cheng frowned, opened his mouth and said, "Don't forget that it is Kong Yuancuo, the Yansheng Gong of the Kong clan in Qufu, Shandong, who is guarding here. It is said that this person has been inherited by the Yan Shenggong and has successfully advanced to the realm of earth immortals. Although the strength is far inferior to that of my lord, it is not something that we can defeat. If he is again, I am afraid that the two of us will not be pleased. ”

Before he got the inheritance of Yan Shenggong, the strength of Kong Yuancuo and the two of them was almost the same, and they were both martial artists in the Danding Realm.

If they really fight, the two of them are not afraid of this person, even if they defeat each other, it is possible, and they were tied for the top three heroes in Hebei at the beginning. It's a pity that this Kong Yuancuo has a very rich family background, and just the lineage of the Confucian Mansion of the Holy Father is enough to make everyone admire, and there are dozens of attendants in his entourage, even the generation of sons and nephews is far more than two, and it is impossible to plan at all.

Now that this person has been inherited by Yan Shenggong, his strength has gone further, which naturally makes the two of them worried.

"Even if that guy shows up, what's the matter?"

Yang Chan snorted coldly, patted a cylindrical steel structure beside him, and said with a smile: "With this stinger, it will definitely be able to make that guy's memory still fresh." Knowing that, the two of us are not without countermeasures. "In the conversation, it is clear that I am full of confidence in myself.

I saw that the cylindrical steel structure was about six feet long, weighing more than forty pounds, and the middle was a hollow style, which was filled with a slender crossbow arrow, and the tail was filled with a large amount of gunpowder, and the outer wall was inlaid with dark iron, and if you looked closely, it was a long snake hovering over this iron cylinder, and in front of it there were two red spars, surrounded by a large amount of black iron, making it look like a poisonous snake, and it wanted to choose people to eat.

This is the Stinger-style cannon crossbow, which is a new weapon produced by combining the artillery of the Red Phoenix Army and the Tiangang arrow of the Quanzhen Sect.

Using gunpowder power instead of the true power of the martial artist, the Tiangang arrow loaded in it can fly at an extremely fast speed, which greatly reduces the range of the user, so that ordinary martial artists who have cultivated to the True Yuan Realm can also use it easily, and then can threaten ordinary earth immortal characters.

Of course, this thing is not cheap to make.

With the size of the dark iron brought by Xiao Yue that day, only thirty pieces were made, and because there had been no earth immortal characters attacking, they had been sealed.

Now, in order to avoid threats to Yang Chan and Yu Cheng, Yu Wenwei made a decision to let the two carry a total of five Stinger-type cannon crossbows to ensure that they could succeed in one blow.

After all, according to their news, there were two more earth immortals in the Mongolian army recently, in order to prevent these two earth immortals from coming to disturb, or take the time to kill these two earth immortals, so Yu Wenwei ordered them to come with this thing, even if they couldn't kill each other, at least they could deter this group of guys, so that they knew that the Red Phoenix Army was not easy to mess with.

"In that case, let's do it. ”

Seeing this, Yu Cheng was also full of confidence, so he took the spear behind him in his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then I will start the action first, and you will be behind the palace." If there's an accident, I'll release the fireworks, and you'll come to the rescue, you know?"

"Nature knows. ”

Yang Chan nodded, and immediately took the iron cylinder beside him and opened the mechanism on it.

In order to prevent someone from accidentally opening it in action, this thing was first made with a special mechanism designed to prevent it from accidentally triggering.

And the others did the same, taking out the stinger-type cannon crossbow, opening the mechanism on it in the same way, and then pressing the index fingers of both hands on the red crystal, instilling the true yuan in their bodies.

With the input of the true element, this red spar became brighter and brighter, and the red and red showed an ominous feeling.
