Chapter 66 The Shadow of the Long Night
In another two days, the Song army arrived at the main city of Xizhou and began to deploy defenses.The Xixia 丨 army took Daning, Yonghe and other counties in two ways, and marched eastward to outflank Xizhou City.
"This hellish place is full of twists and turns. It's really troublesome." Wuzang Mankui, who was exhausted by the detour around the mountain road, complained.
"There is no way, this is the situation in Xizhou. There are too many ditches and rough roads, which are not suitable for the army to march. General, don't be impatient, bypass the mountain in front and open up." Tianshi held the map in his hand, carefully Compare the direction.
"I can't believe your rough map, it has caused us to go so many wrong ways!" He rubbed the broken branches into several sections, "Could it be that these Song people can't even draw a map?! "
The Celestial Master said helplessly: "This is the most detailed map that we can get. You know, Xizhou's investigation is very strict. We spent a lot of money for this map."
Mankui is not hidden. If the Song people really use this map to march and deploy their defenses, it will not be far from Xixia's entry into the Central Plains. Zhoucheng, Tianshi, you find a way to send someone into the Song camp to grab the Song army's map, let's see if it looks the same as the one in your hand! How about it?"
"Alright, I'll prepare when I rest up front." The Celestial Master was also disturbed by this map. If the Song Army really had a more complete map, it would be great.
At this time, the main city of Xizhou was already half empty. As soon as the soldiers and horses arrived outside the city, the grand master used both soft and hard methods to drive the people in the city to other counties on the pretext of a decisive battle. It is a matter of life and death, those who are willing to help will stay, and the others will pack up and leave quickly. If Xizhou cannot hold on, they will have to wait to be slaughtered.In this way, after going and staying, less than [-]% of the residents are left in the city.
The grand master gathered all the materials in the city and matched them with the gates of the city to strengthen the fortifications.Then, he went into the mountain in person and chose a favorable commanding height to arrange an ambush to stop Xixia's march.He also ordered the various ministries to send people to destroy all the mountain roads leading to Xizhou City from the surrounding counties, leaving only the steep roads.The rainy season has come, and the soil in Xizhou is soft, with steep slopes and deep ditches. Traveling in rainy days can easily cause landslides and cause heavy casualties. If you start to build roads, you have to suffer a lot and take a long detour.In this way, it can not only delay some time, but also increase the fatigue of the Xixia army to a certain extent, and relieve some pressure for the final decisive battle.
After working for half a day, night fell and the black clouds rolled, fearing that the rain was coming.
Taking advantage of this favorable weather, a group of black shadows deftly bypassed the night watch soldiers, entered the camp and disappeared...
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese military camp exploded like a pot, and the guards raised their weapons to deal with this unexpected visitor who seemed to have fallen from the sky.Thanks to the strict training on weekdays, the soldiers only flustered for a while and then returned to their positions to meet the enemy. Chen Che, who was temporarily in charge of food and supplies, hurriedly mobilized the soldiers to guard the armaments and dare not move rashly. Han Qi led the troops to investigate hidden dangers, and Liu Guangwu supported the Chinese army. In the big camp, Li Jinhu, Guo Zhan, and Liang Shoude rushed to the outskirts of the barracks to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to attack.
The visitor broke into the tent and went straight to the grand master who was discussing the matter before the case with a knife. Fortunately, he was intercepted by Zhan Zhao in the air, buying time for the generals to mobilize their troops, otherwise the consequences would be worrisome.
Zhan Zhao and the intruder had already fought outside the tent, and everyone joined forces to besiege them. Despite this, they still couldn't suppress them at all. It seemed that he was not afraid of death, and he didn't need to have any rationality. He could only chop anything that came close to him. Kill, there is no extra action.Soon, several corpses of Song soldiers were piled up on the ground.
"He snatched the map, take it back for me! Never let him escape!" The grand master ordered furiously, this kind of open robbery was something he never expected.
Liu Guangwu joined the battle, and the double-hooked spear was aimed at the intruder's chest, but the man dodged it strangely.Zhan Zhao took the opportunity to intercept and kill with his sword, his eyes were cold, and he swept across his shoulder blades in an instant. Unbelievably, he was avoided again!Zhan Zhao couldn't help being amazed at his agility, and hurriedly used lightness kung fu to cut off his retreat.The intruder showed no sign of weakness, swung his sword and slashed at Zhan Zhao.While the intruder's attention was completely attracted by Zhan Zhao, Liu Guangwu saw the timing, bent his bow and set an arrow, and hit the back of the intruder.
I thought this arrow could seal the victory, but the situation seemed even more unexpected.The arrowhead that pierced through the back of the heart was abruptly bounced off, leaving only an inconspicuous bloodstain...
"Be careful!" The intruder ignored Zhan Zhao's entanglement, turned around and rushed towards Liu Guangwu, who was shooting in the dark. The cold blade came so quickly that Liu Guangwu didn't even have time to do anything with the weapon in his hand.
'Shua la——' The merciless blade cut across Liu Guangwu's right shoulder immediately.The opening was supposed to be on his throat, but it went off track with Zhan Zhao's arrival.At the critical moment, Zhan Zhao caught up with the intruder, pinned his shoulder, and forcibly reversed the fatal knife.
The intruder twisted into a ball with Zhan Zhao, he tried to shake off the shackles behind him, but the other party clung to him.And Zhan Zhao couldn't suppress him immediately, so he could only find a way to maintain the status quo.People around did not dare to take the opportunity to assassinate, because if they were not careful, they would accidentally hurt Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao ignored the opponent's elbow to his ribs, and tightened his arms on his chest, and forcibly pulled out the map hidden in his chest. In just this moment, the intruder's body shook suddenly, After breaking free from Zhan Zhao, before everyone could react, he jumped out of the encirclement.Zhan Zhao stood up and chased after him lightly, but it was a night with limited eyesight after all, and the intruder had already escaped under the cover of night...
