Chang'an [Rebirth]

Chai Zheng's face became more and more serious, she pulled the rein, and looked back worriedly at Duke Chai's mansion at the end of the road, then rode her horse towards the place where the gunpowder smoke started.

The Beijue came fiercely, and several shells hit the city wall. The fortifications of the city wall were strong and did not cause too much damage, but it was not a solution for a long time, and the soldiers who defended the city in the first round borne most of the damage. It slowly dripped down the city wall, and was smashed into black by a blast of gunfire.

When Chai Zheng arrived, Chai Yuandao was organizing a counterattack, using cannons, catapults, and rockets to form a defensive network. At the same time, a small group of people sneaked out of the city from the moat to investigate the situation on the opposite side, and tried to destroy some of its "vanguard" guns .

It's just that this task is very urgent, and it may be life-threatening, so Chai Yuandao only found five or six people, which is not enough.

"I'll go!" Chai Zheng got off her horse. She was wearing a silver-white light armor, which didn't fit her body well. She wore a crown, but it was different from the real man's attire, with a lighter rustle.

As he spoke, Chai Zheng pointed out the two young men who were poking their heads out of the crowd, "There are also them."

Zhang Fan and Wang Wan have never even been in contact with a real battlefield so far, and they were suddenly picked out and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, even they were a little dazed.

Wang Wan hesitated for a moment, then asked Chai Zheng in a low voice, "We... may not be able to do it, right?"

"Can you swim?" Chai Zheng asked.

Wang Wan nodded stiffly.

Chai Zheng asked again, "Will you kill and set fire?"

"..." This request is not difficult, Wang Wan nodded honestly.

Chai Zheng said confidently, "That's fine, let's go, with the three of us, a small team is almost enough."

Just as Chai Yuandao was about to say something, Chai Zheng said again, "I am the vanguard general, and I should have taken care of these matters. The marshal is in the army, and if we don't return within three hours, the Beijue batch of firearms must be taken away." destroyed, otherwise we will be passive for a long time."

"..." Chai Yuandao had nothing to say at this time, he could only pat Chai Zheng on the shoulder, "Be careful."

The two young men who were forcibly pulled up by Chai Zheng pushed and shoved each other, and surrounded Chai Zheng during the preparation work. Zhang Fan hesitated to speak, but it was Wang Wan who said first, "Major General, the two of us are not ready yet." Is it too good?"

It is said that when the Chai family’s young master was eight years old, he had blown up the main ship Musang on the Yellow Sea. Therefore, although not everyone was convinced by Chai Zheng’s words, most of them would listen, but Wang Wan knew himself. Anyone who joined the army on the same day has no military achievements so far, and is simply a good example of adding chaos to adversity.

At such a critical time, bringing two inexperienced trash, is it because the little general is too conceited, or is it cannon fodder that he feels that the two can be sacrificed?

Chai Zheng hung the dagger around his waist and fastened it tightly, and said: "No one is born capable of fighting. You have to go through life and death before you can see your upper limit... Zhang Fan is cautious and you are quick-witted. They can all become important weapons of the country.”

After finishing speaking, Chai Zheng smiled and showed his canine teeth, looking perverse and vile, "So don't kill yourself on this mission."

"..." No matter how Wang Wan heard it, he felt that he was being calculated, and the back of his neck felt cold.

The moat in Liangzhou is not wide and was dug manually, so it also has the function of irrigation. There is little rain in Mobei, and there is no flood season. Every six months, the river must be closed to raise water, so as not to ride a horse and step on the river bed to go ashore. .

These firearms are very powerful, but unfortunately there are problems with their range and accuracy. Most of the artillery fire still sank into the river, splashing three feet of water, and taking dozens of bloody fish with them.

Chai Zheng thought that there were no fish in this river.

The river channel is narrow, and the water depth is less than ten meters, which means swimming is more dangerous. If you make a mistake, the shells will fall into the water and rub shoulders with people... At such a short distance, people are not necessarily stronger than fish with long scales all over their bodies .

Chai Zheng was the first to go into the water, and she was responsible for leading the way, followed by Zhang Fan and Wang Wan, a team of less than ten people, each with a long and thin rope tied to their wrists, so as not to get lost during the swim, and at the same time In case of emergency, this rope can be cut with two strokes of a knife.

Chai Zheng’s other hobby besides Shangfang Jiewa is fishing in the water. It’s just that the fish in the moat have learned the art of war from others, and they have learned the art of war. She has never caught one so far, let alone improving Xiaoruan’s food. It's gone... But the ability to chase fish around came in handy at this moment. The river in front of Chai Zheng was as stagnant as a stone inkstone waiting to be ground, but she still found a way.

There were falling cannonballs on all sides, and after sinking into the water, they exploded suddenly, and the flames circulated in the water, competing for a five-fifty momentum for a while, and no one could engulf anyone.

Just after entering the water for half a stick of incense, Chai Zheng’s back of his hand was already burned. The suffocation mixed with hot air poured into his mouth, nose and lungs all the time. The water around him seemed to be boiled. When it flowed through the skin, there was only pain, but no feeling. Any tenderness, the rope hanging on the body is heavy because it is tied to the person, and due to the length problem, there is occasionally a huge wagging tail...

Later, this feeling gradually dissipated, and Chai Zheng could feel the people behind him tightening the rope without saying a word, for fear of falling behind again.

This swim didn't last long, Chai Zheng counted silently in her heart, and within about half an hour, she touched the river bed, and then rolled into the reed marshes along a low place.

In order to prevent being caught right after landing, Chai Zheng took a long detour. She lay down in the punctured weeds and took a breath, and then Zhang Fan also crawled out of the water——

However, there was only Zhang Fan, who still held another broken rope in his hand.

This piece of rope was cut by a knife. Zhang Fan's face was pale, and he looked at the flat section with dull eyes, "Wang Wan is dead."

"...You have a grudge against Wang Wan?" Chai Zheng was anxious to regain his strength, and he really didn't have the strength to pick the back of Zhang Fan's head, otherwise he would be bald right now.

Zhang Fan choked, "Wang Wan is dead, if he is still alive, why didn't he go ashore with him!"

"This river bank stretches for hundreds of miles, and he won't wave the flag and shout after landing. How do you know he died in the water?" Chai Zheng regained her energy after a while, sat up and said, "I remember correctly. In other words, Wang Wan is a native of the Jiangnan Water Village, who grew up in the reeds since he was a child, and can walk and dive in the water, which is much better than you and me who wade in shallow water."

Zhang Fan was comforted by these words at first, but felt wrong after a while, "The fish were all blown to death. No matter how familiar Wang Wan is with water, can he match the fish's performance? He must be in bad luck!"

Chai Zheng didn't pursue it at all, and was actually pleased that Zhang Fan finally used "more bad luck than good luck" instead of insisting that Wang Wan is dead, and Zhang Fan is also worthy of the post of captain of the guard in the future, and he still accused Chai Zheng Inhumane, but suddenly he perched on top and covered Chai Zheng's mouth with his hand.

The two rolled deeper into the reed, and a group of Beijue people just passed by not far away. They came in a very wrong direction. Chai Zheng was tightly covering his mouth, but his eyes slowly became sharp, even showing a trace of coldness. killing intent.

This group of Beijue people came from the direction of Liangzhou City. The first few even wore the clothes of Dajing civilians and carried a twisting sack on their backs.

Based on Chai Zheng's experience as a bandit, there must be a person in the sack, and he was a small person.

The group walked quickly, Chai Zheng broke Zhang Fan's hand, "Let's follow."

"..." Zhang Fan counted with his fingers. There were eleven people on the opposite side. Eleven warriors with knives and swords. No matter how we counted, there were only two people on our side, a half-grown child and a man with trembling legs. Own.

When Zhang Fan was pulled by General Chai, he felt that not only his legs were shaking, but his bladder was also shaking.

But Zhang Fan also had a strange feeling. He was afraid of returning home, but he instinctively knew how to avoid the risk of being discovered. He was as cautious as a rabbit. After a while, he even whispered in Chai Zheng's ear, "There is a girl in the sack."

"How do you know?" Chai Zheng frowned.

"My father is a scout, oh yes, the one in the marshal's tent...he called me to intercept the envelope last time," Zhang Fan and his father didn't have a deep relationship, so he just mentioned it quickly, "The scout's eyes, ears and five senses It's very effective, because there are many potential dangers to be discovered, and just now, I smelled a sachet."

All kinds of smells are mixed in the reeds, fishy smell, mud, dead branches and leaves, and gunpowder smoke. No matter how good Zhang Fan's nose is, he can't catch the smell of the sachet. The reason why he is suddenly so sure is because the fragrance suddenly It became thicker, probably because the person in the sack broke the sachet.

Afterwards, Chai Zheng saw the purple-red powder slowly sprinkled down the mesh of the sack and stained the reed leaves.

Chai Zheng's eyelids twitched violently.

This sachet is carried by Xiao Ruan, the powder inside is different, it is a medicine for calming the mind, Chai Zheng has smelled it before, the taste is very bitter, and the color is also strange red and purple, which means The tip was randomly stained, and it took an hour or two to wash it off before it faded.

Ruan Linshuang once proposed to sew one for her, but Chai Zheng sternly refused.

With such a weird sachet, Chai Zheng didn't think that other people in Liangzhou would wear it. After all, he liked Xiao Ruan so much, and he didn't want to make an identical one.

Chai Zheng gradually suspected that Xiao Ruan knew that he would be kidnapped one day, so he held back.

She touched a dagger at her waist, but fortunately it was tied tightly and was not swept away in the current. Then she weighed the position and the opponent's strength, pulled Zhang Fan and whispered, "How much can you knock down?" personal?"

"You don't want to do something here, do you?" Zhang Fan was dumbfounded, "I can't do any of them."

"..." Chai Zheng began to reflect, a dignified captain of the guard, a general from the fifth rank, can't even kill a single person at this moment?

After thinking about it, Chai Zheng said again, "This place is still some distance away from the Beijue camp. As long as we strike fast enough and hard enough, we won't disturb the opponent's large army... I'll give you two, and I'll keep the rest."

Zhang Fan: "..."

He just found out that his little general is deaf.
