The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

The sun sets!

It's late at night!

The cold wind howled, making the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling, which made people feel creepy unconsciously.

The cold wind was like a knife, blowing constantly on the face, making people feel a stinging sensation.

Tonight, Xuchang County seemed extraordinarily quiet. Above the city gate, large fire pots were burning, and red lanterns hung one after another, emitting a faint red light that swayed constantly under the night.

"Commander, everything has been prepared. If Xu Jiajun makes a sneak attack tonight, they will definitely be defeated!"

On top of the city tower, Sun Tao looked at Zhao He who was standing with his hands behind his back and respectfully reported.

"Well, very good!" Zhao He nodded and asked, "Have the people in the city made arrangements?"

"That's all. The people near the edge of the city have all moved to the center of the city and are hiding in the basements. Even if the Xu family's army bombs with artillery shells, it will only destroy some buildings and not hurt anyone." Sun Tao immediately reported.

Zhao He nodded again and looked towards the darkness outside the city gate. In the "Eagle Eye" state, his strength increased hundreds of times. Even in such a dark environment, he could see Very very below.

But the high mountains two thousand meters away blocked Zhao He's sight, preventing him from seeing clearly what was farther away.

"Commander, it's cold outside. You can go back and rest. Leave this place to me." Sun Tao said.

Zhao He shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I'll watch it for a while. This battle is very important. The entire Xu family army must be wiped out. Only in this way can we establish the reputation of the Tiandao Army, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so as to frighten the enemies who are watching eagerly." live."

Although the Tiandao Army has captured Xuchang County, it is obvious that many forces are eyeing this big cake and secretly want to come and get a share of the pie.

But they couldn't control the strength of the Tiandao Army, so they didn't take action.

If Zhao He wants to show enough strength to frighten these people, he must defend Xuchang County and defeat the attacking Xu Jiajun.

In this case, those people in the dark will be afraid of the Tiandao Army and will not take action rashly.

Sun Tao nodded, stood behind Zhao He, and waited quietly.

What is surprising is that on the city wall around the two people, there are standing figures who are swaying and swaying, and these figures are actually scarecrows pretending to be wearing military uniforms. If they come from far away, Looking over, there are soldiers.

It's just that these pretended soldiers clearly give people a shabby look. They are either hunched or hunched, and they are also wrapped in red bandages. From a distance, at first glance, they look like a soldier. A wounded soldier!

Except for Zhao He and Sun Tao, all the people on the city wall were scarecrows, and there were at least thousands of them.

Obviously, these scarecrows are all designed to lure enemy artillery fire. The real Tiandao army is currently hiding in the alleys in the city, waiting in full formation.

As long as Zhao He gives the order, they will immediately launch a charge.

Not only that, behind a hillside in the southeast outside the city and in a forest in the southwest outside the city, Tang Li and Yuan Honggang each led more than 3,000 people and secretly ambush. Their mission was to block the retreat route of Xu Jiajun. , leaving them with no way to retreat.

Not only that, Guo Feng led the artillery battery, hiding behind the hillside. If they found the enemy, they would immediately calculate the position, set up the fort, and bombard the enemy indiscriminately.

Zhao He had already made adequate preparations for this battle, and he was fully confident that Xu Jiajun would definitely launch a surprise attack tonight.

And the fact is just as he expected!

In a mountain stream two thousand meters away from Xuchang County, at some point, tents appeared one after another. Tens of thousands of Xu family troops were gathering here to recharge their batteries.

And these people were the Xu family army led by Cheng Jun, Xu Dabiao, and Guo Dazhuang. They were ordered by Xu Feng to capture Xuchang County within a week and wipe out the Tiandao Army.

They gathered and set out early in the morning. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived here and set up camp. While recharging their energy, they sent out scouts to secretly observe every move in Xuchang County.

"Report~"

At this moment, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded outside a tent, "Report to Commander Cheng, Scout Xu Chengyi wants to see you!"

"Let them in quickly!" A man's deep voice came from inside the tent.

"Yes!"

As the soldiers responded, the curtain was immediately opened, and three scouts were seen walking in quickly. The leader was named Xu Chengyi. He looked at Cheng Jun and others and quickly gave a respectful military salute, " The subordinates meet with Commander Cheng, Commander Xu, Commander Guo..."

There were six officers in the tent, led by a fair, middle-aged man with a stout figure. This man was the division commander who had just been promoted by Xu Feng, Cheng Jun, who succeeded Yuan Honggang.

In addition to him, there were Xu Dabiao, Guo Dazhuang and others. They were surrounding a table with a map spread out on it, and they were obviously discussing a crime plan.

"Forget it, mother-in-law, let me ask you, how is the investigation going?" Cheng Jun asked impatiently.

Everyone looked at Xu Chengyi, who did not hesitate and immediately reported: "Mr. Cheng, Xuchang County has closed the city now. The city is very quiet. Both the city gate and the east gate have been attacked by artillery fire. There are still many corpses of Zhou Jiajun lying outside, and there should be no time to clean them up.

We also found that there were many soldiers guarding the city wall, but these soldiers were either injured or did not have a good rest. They looked listless and lacked energy. "

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Cheng Jun couldn't help but let out an ooh.

Xu Dabiao chuckled and said: "They just fought a battle with the Zhou Army the night before. Although they invaded Xuchang County, they must have suffered heavy losses. Even the wounded soldiers were sent out to defend the city. It seems that the Tiandao Army has arrived without anyone. It’s usable.”

"Hahaha... This is great. Now that the Taoist army has suffered heavy losses, we just took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack tonight, catching them off guard and killing them without leaving a single piece of armor." A regimental leader laughed loudly. Laughing, he agreed.

"I agree. Tonight is the best time for a sneak attack. If it is delayed any longer, other warlord forces may have to send troops to attack Xuchang County. It may be complicated by then." Guo Dazhuang nodded in agreement.

Xu Dabiao, Guo Dazhuang and others were obviously eager to attack Xuchang County, but in the end they looked at Cheng Jun. Obviously he was the one who made the final decision.

Cheng Jun did not answer, but looked at Xu Chengyi and asked, "Are you sure you read it correctly? Those on the city wall are all wounded soldiers."

Xu Chengyi was a little hesitant. He hesitated and said: "Mr. Cheng, my subordinates don't dare to get too close. There is no cover outside the city. But through the telescope, I did see many figures outside the city wall. These people seemed to be a few people." Yes, obviously injured."

Hearing this, Cheng Jun frowned slightly. He always felt that this was a bit strange, but he couldn't explain it for the moment.

"Mr. Cheng, do you suspect that the Tiandao Army is deceitful and deliberately set a trap?" Xu Dabiao couldn't help but ask when he saw Cheng Jun frowning.
