Chapter 381: Carnival Night
The red sun sinks in the west, and the remnant sun is like a red blood that sets a layer of golden-red edge on the earth. The Shiqiaozi camp at sunset www.biquge.info bathed in the afterglow, and the soldiers anxiously looked at the place, eager to press the sun to the horizon with their own hands.
Soon the sun disappeared without a trace, the sky was covered with a dark curtain, and the soldiers had already lost their weapons, left their posts, and gathered together in twos and threes to talk happily. The officers had to arrange rewards, and they had no intention of restraining them, and besides, after the bloody and unusual killing of the day, what was needed now was not a harsh military order but comfort and relaxation.
The most solemn and shocking rally in the barracks must be the pledge of the army. And the most popular is undoubtedly tonight's reward meeting, Chang Wei painstakingly integrated the two ceremonies of oath and reward, carrying a knife and holding wine, drinking a bowl and drinking: two ribs into the knife, liver and gallbladder to take care of.
And the soldiers also gave him the warmest response, drinking wine and shouting: Revenge, fight to the death!
In order to show his determination and martial bravery, the scene is both tragic and enthusiastic, and there is a heroic spirit of "drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people returned to fight in ancient times".
Chang Wei happily carried the wine jar all over the camp, maybe he drank too much, no matter who he met, he had to say something about Hou Qiongyin framing Yan Ruyu, and then convey the meaning of revenge and self-reliance.
In normal times, this kind of 'great rebellion' with ulterior motives incitement, the soldiers dare not listen to it and dare not echo it, but today everyone is promoted and rich, there is wine and meat, and they have forgotten what their surname is, coupled with Chang Wei's murderous ferocity during the day, everyone responded to him warmly.
This kind of words are like a medicine primer, which makes the soldiers who have drunk too much empathize, and then, the things hidden in their hearts involuntarily come out of their mouths. As a result, a reward meeting became a criticism meeting to expose the crimes of the White Lotus Sect.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Yan Ruyu decisively ordered: The brothers who are guarding all the posts under the mountain will all come back to participate in the carnival. In less than an hour, all 30,000 people arrived, and the sea of wine in Roshan was distributed from the hands of generals and officials, and everyone had a share.
The soldiers each found acquaintances to gather in a group, laughing and scolding and carnivaling, and Yan Ruyu led a group of beautiful female guards around to toast. The golden gongs and war drums that commanded the battle were also turned into musical instruments, and under the loud blowing, the 100 female guards sang and danced lightly, and the happy soldiers smiled and cheered loudly.
The cold river breeze blew into the barracks, sending out the sound of joy far away, as if all worries and exhaustion had been put aside, and every tense nerve of the soldiers was soothed and even paralyzed; the surface of the river wrinkled by the wind rippled with layers of ripples, refracting the bright lights, shining like a brilliant jewel of a river; the trees in the grove to the south that had not yet lost their leaves were actually glowing with black light, which was very strange!
But if you listen closely, you will find that the gentle rustling of the river breeze is not the sound of the branches and leaves of the trees but the sound of footsteps, and its source is the dark shadows, and they are four beautiful women.
Look at the direction of the four women in black is the stone bridge in the lower reaches of the White Horse River!
At the earliest time, there was a White Lotus Army guarding the stone bridge, and after Yuan Keli came, the momentum of the official army changed greatly, and the White Lotus Army no longer had the idea of crossing the river to attack Jining, so they gave up the stone bridge and camped on the earthen wall.
At this time, the White Horse River is calm and calm, the water is murmuring, and water birds sometimes fly in mid-air. The deep outline of the earthen wall in the distance, the lights on it and the groves on the banks cast a mysterious light and shadow on the tranquil Hakuba River.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure stood up from the bank of the river, lighting up his beautiful woman-like face, and the figure was Tang Jinyi!
When it was dark, Tang Jinyi arrived at the shore, and he witnessed the whole process of the White Lotus Army camp from generosity and tragedy to wanton joy. After all the guards under the earthen wall were withdrawn, Tang Jinyi immediately signaled to the patrol scouts to act.
The reason why he suddenly appeared was because of the musical sound of birds on the other side, and this beautiful sound was of course not made by the water birds, but by the four women in black who were walking among the trees.
When the voice fell silent, Tang Jinyi gave a correct response, and the two sides exchanged silently across the river bank for a while, Tang Jinyi took out the fireworks flag in his arms, and caught the wind a little, the magnificent fireworks were like stars, like the bright moon and more like the beautiful sunset, which deeply attracted the attention of the four women, but failed to attract the slightest attention in the military camp on the hill.
Under the gradually thick and inky night, there was a brisk footstep, and Yuan Keli's army in Yangping Town arrived on time. The general, who was originally apprehensive, was immediately overjoyed when he saw the formation in the camp of the thief army opposite, and the morale of the team rose sharply.
The lights and joys on the earthen wall guided the advance of the army like bright lights in the dark night, and without half of the guards warning them, the officers and men quickly crossed the stone bridge and surrounded the earthen walls.
Until this moment, the White Lotus Army did not know that they had become the prey of the trap, and the four women returned to the barracks on the hill before the officers and soldiers attacked, and quietly signaled Jin Yuwei's sisters to retreat.
After everything was ready, the tiger squat cannon of the official army roared angrily at the gate of the war, and the shining cannonballs drew a high parabola like an arrogant fireball and landed in the barracks.
The drunken soldiers saw a radiant sunset in front of their eyes, but when the sunset shone down, the rows of camp tents, the undulating walls, the javelin-like towers of arrows, and everything within the range were all torn to pieces by the golden-red light.
The dark sky was illuminated by artillery fire, and the thick smoke of gunpowder made a large area of fiery clouds burn in the sky, like ten thousand red flags, waving and proclaiming. In an instant, the camp turned into a sea of fire, and the powerful, cruel and beautiful scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of the soldiers.
Finally, they came to their senses.
"Damn, it's an enemy attack!"
"Artillery! It's the officers and soldiers coming. ”
"Hurry up and defend the wall. ”
"run for your life. ”
"If you can't escape, you'd better surrender. ”
There is no early warning of the sentry, there is no general to rectify the order, the officers are all soldiers who have just been promoted and have no prestige, and they are drunk as mud and have sore hands and feet, etc., this army with all the bad factors, not to mention the artillery fire of the surprise attack, even if it is ready for battle, there is no combat power at all.
Just when the soldiers were panicked and didn't know how to deal with it, the coquettish voices of more than 1,000 people from Jin Yuwei came from behind the village: "Surrender, we are willing to surrender, adults don't fight anymore!"
After shouting three or five times in a crisp voice, he asked the soldiers, "Is there anyone who is unwilling to surrender?"
The soldiers woke up like a dream and shouted: "No, we are all willing to surrender!"
"Surrender, we all surrender!"
In the midst of a loud surrender, the artillery lost its monstrous arrogance, and the red clouds in the sky gradually fell silent and turned into pieces of sparks.
The sound of dense footsteps drowned out the sound of surrender, and the figures of the officers and soldiers roared like a tide, step by step, steadily and orderly and quickly occupying the key positions in the camp.
Tang Jinyi rushed to the back village at the front of the crowd, and planted the flag symbolizing his own people at the gate of the Jinyuwei camp to prevent the officers and soldiers with corrupt discipline from rushing in and robbing the women.
Yan Ruyu cheered when she saw Tang Jinyi, "Three Shao!"
"Holy Maiden, are you all okay?" After getting the other party's affirmative answer, Tang Jinyi looked around suspiciously and asked, "Where did Dauntless go?" (To be continued.) )
