Chapter 682 Could It Be that the Magic Weapon Descended From the Sky?

The rain is getting weaker, and it is still muddy for those who march in the dark.

"I can't go any further. There are spies in ambush ahead. They should be monks. I can't figure out the depth of the situation ahead. It's not good to rush forward. It's easy to be discovered."

A monk flashed back and stopped the people who were sneaking in the dark.

Sun Gaotian, the right commander of the central army under Zhang Hu's command, asked, "How far is this place from the grain storage point?"

The monk replied: "There are about five miles left?"

After Sun Gaotian thought about it for a while, he ordered people not to hide anymore, and the five thousand people went directly to the official road, lined up neatly, and headed for the target location openly without haste, regardless of whether anyone would find out.

When he was questioned by a checkpoint on the road, the monk dodged to kill him.

Not far after passing the checkpoint, a moon butterfly came to take care of it from the mountain forest. It was obviously driven by a monk from the Song Dynasty.

The cultivator here popped out a copper coin with his fingers, and directly knocked down the flying moon butterfly.

A voice suddenly came from the forest, "Who is it?"

The commander on the right, Sun Gaotian, replied: "Xu Laiping patrols the Jiang defense."

A figure flashed over to check it out. It was obvious that he hadn't been easily fooled. He had to verify it himself. The two monks rushed forward together, and the two sides immediately fought.

With a few sudden bangs, the cultivator was easily killed here, but the movement of the fight was too obvious, approaching the opponent's lair, and obviously this movement could no longer be covered up.

"Full speed ahead!" Sun Gaotian, the commander-in-chief of the right, drew his sword and yelled.

Immediately, 5,000 people ran wildly in the dark night, and a group of monks rushed forward to open the way, constantly fighting with the blocking monks ahead.

This place is an important area for food storage, with 30,000 people protecting it, and a large number of monks are stationed in the town. Under the repeated warnings, the people and horses stationed in the food protection army gathered urgently to set up defenses.

As soon as the raiders from the Yan Kingdom charged close, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs, with a killing sound that shook the sky.

The army of food guards couldn't figure out the situation, and it was too dark, so they didn't dare to attack lightly. They defended comprehensively and greeted them with arrows.

The men and horses on the side of the Yan Kingdom also took arrows and shot at each other. It was more advantageous to shoot in the dark and in the bright place, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

It's just that the shooting here is more particular, and several arrows are fired at the same time, and it doesn't matter whether it is accurate or not, just shoot the arrows towards the opponent.

All the arrows carried by the 30,000 people who forced their way ashore this time were concentrated on these 5,000 people.

Hearing the sound of killing outside and seeing the dense rain of arrows, the grain guard became very nervous. One-third of the grain of Jiang Fang's two million troops was stored here. If there is any loss here, his The head is not enough to chop.

The grain guard immediately ordered someone to report, and store grain to point out the enemy's attack!

In a certain house in the defense area of ​​Hukou Section of Jiangfang, General Xu Laiping was sleeping soundly on a couch.

"My lord!" Suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door, and the young general knocked on the door and shouted anxiously.

Xu Laiping woke up startled and raised his head, shouting, "What's the matter?"

The young general outside the door shouted: "My lord, the granary in the defense area was attacked by a large number of troops from the Yan army!"

Xu Laiping got up suddenly, ran to open the door with bare feet, and cursed at everyone, "Fart, how could a large number of Yan troops appear in our defense area?"

"Your Excellency, there is no mistake. The grain guard sent an urgent report. There was a large number of attackers. The number of people is unknown. The monks guarding the granary also sent news." The young general sent the urgent report.

After Xu Laiping checked it, he was really taken aback, and quickly asked: "Is there any movement from the Yan army on the other side?"

The young general said: "There is no movement yet!"

Xu Laiping immediately went back and forth with bare feet, muttering, "Damn it, there are so many Yan troops here, there is no movement on the other side, it seems that they want to cut off the rations of my army." Turning around suddenly, he took out a command arrow from the quiver on the case. He then threw it to the young general, "Pass on my military order and order Xu Gui to lead an army of 100,000 troops to rush to help immediately, and tell him that if there is any loss of the granary, please come and see him!"

"Yes!" The young general urgently took the order, took the command arrow and ran to deliver the order.

Xu Laiping quickly turned back to put on clothes, still muttering, "A large number of people cross the river, how could it be possible not to be discovered. Damn, where did the Yan army come from? Did they fall from the sky?"

He was also anxious, if the granary was breached, his head would be full.

When he was dressed and strode out, he met the generals and other monks who came outside.

While ordering people to strengthen the Jiang defense, he went up to the tower to watch the mobilization of the army.

Of the 300,000 people in the headquarters of the Hukou section defense zone, 200,000 were deployed at the front, and the 100,000 reserve troops rumbled away, holding torches all the way, like a winding dragon, all the way away quickly.

The monks of Yan Kingdom who were close to this area lurked to check, and after roughly counting the number of troops who had left, they quickly evacuated and rushed to the ambush site of the Yan army ten miles away. In front of them, he reported: "As expected, the 100,000 reserve troops in the Hukou section of the defense zone have left the camp to reinforce the granary."

The left commander Guo Xianfu said in a deep voice: "Okay! Immediately send a message to Sun Gaotian, let him retreat at any time, and report to the general."

Two golden wings were soon released from here, and they went their separate ways in the night sky...

Gathered in the Chinese military tent in the Changzhou People's Horse Camp in Dongyu River, Meng Shanming sat upright, closed his eyes and meditated.

Zhang Hu and a group of generals stood in two rows wearing battle armor.

The camp was silent, Gong Lince and other monks could only stand by, just looking at this and that from time to time, not knowing what Meng Shanming was waiting for.

Gong Lince didn't want to ask Meng Shanming what the hell he was doing, for fear of appearing a little ignorant.

As time passed, although the rain outside had lightened, the people inside the tent could hear the rain clearly.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside, and a young general quickly stepped inside and sent an urgent report to Zhang Hu.

After Zhang Hu saw it, he immediately stepped forward and put it on the case in front of Meng Shanming, saying: "Commander, it went well, as expected, it was dark on a rainy night, and the granary defenders did not dare to move out rashly without knowing the details. One hundred thousand reserve troops have been successfully lured away!"

Gong Lince was confused, and refused to reveal the specific battle plan until the end.

But Meng Shanming opened his eyes suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes suddenly glanced at Gong Lince, "Master Gong, this battle is related to the outcome of the entire battle, and I hope that the master of the palace will order all monks to obey Zhang Hu's orders, and there must be no one." Any mistake, those who disobey the order will not be forgiven!"

Gong Lince nodded: "Don't worry about this, whoever dares not cooperate, I will be the first to let him go!"

boom! Meng Shanming slapped his palm on the table abruptly, taking a moment to do this, almost startled the calm Gong Lince.

I saw Meng Shanming said in a deep voice: "It will be tonight to break through the Song Army's defense line in the eastern region of the Yangtze River. The soldiers must be united as one, and those who disobey the order will not be pardoned!"

"Yes!" With a clatter, all the generals turned sideways together, facing each other and clapping their hands together, they responded in unison.

Meng Shanming waved his finger to the dark night sky outside the tent, and said with awe-inspiring momentum, "Cross the river!"

"Yes!" The generals took orders again.

Zhang Hulong walked like a tiger, leading a group of generals out in big strides.

Soon, there was a commotion outside, torches were lit everywhere, and the army quickly prepared.

Knowing that they were going to cross the river at this time, and that their own troops were leading the battle, the people under supervision at the imperial court suddenly had an opinion.

A general led a few people to come and found Zhang Hu who was mobilized by the commander and complained, "General Zhang, the river is soaring and the flow is very fast. It is too much for us to cross the river by wooden raft."

reluctantly? Are my tens of thousands of brothers reluctant? Zhang Hu widened his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The battle is imminent, how dare you bargain with me?"

The general smiled bitterly and said: "The general misunderstood. It's not a bargain, but a good word to persuade. The water is fast and it's dark. It's not suitable to cross the river at this time. If you really want to cross the river, you might as well wait until dawn."

Swish! Zhang Hu drew his sword out of its sheath, and with a cold light, it directly pierced the opponent's heart, and blood spattered.

The general's eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhang Hu with trembling arms.

Those who came with him, as well as the monks beside him, were startled. They didn't expect Zhang Hu to draw his sword and kill someone if he disagreed with him, and it was the court general who killed him.

Boom! Zhang Hu kicked the sword through the general with one foot, shook the bloody sword, and said sharply: "The battle is imminent, and the military order will be executed immediately. If there are any bargainers, this will be the end!"

The other cultivator quit immediately, and said angrily: "He is a general of the imperial court, and he must be approved by the imperial court to deal with him. How can you kill him at will?"

Zhang Hu immediately turned his head to look at the monks on the left and right, and said coldly, "What do you think?"

The monks of the three major sects immediately stepped forward, warned the monk back, and ordered him to cooperate immediately, otherwise this side will not be lenient.

Soon, there were crowds of people on the riverside, dragging a large number of wooden rafts upstream.

The current speed of the river is not suitable for crossing directly. If you want to take advantage of the current speed, you can row obliquely towards the Hukou defense area on the opposite bank.

A large number of people boarded the wooden raft, and those who got on the wooden raft immediately put out the torches, obeyed the order, and only had to row to the place where the fire was on the other side.

...

Wu Qunlie, governor of Jiangfang, was also sleeping soundly in the dormitory. When he was asleep, he was awakened by a loud knock on the door.

He sat up and hugged the quilt and shouted, "Come in."

As soon as the general pushed the door and walked in, he hurriedly reported: "My lord, the spies report that there has been a change in the gathering place of Zhang Hu's troops on the other side, and it seems that they want to attack at night."

Under such a huge confrontation of troops, it is impossible for the two sides not to send spies to the other side to monitor each other. They may not be able to investigate closely, but it is still no problem to observe the general movement from a long distance.

"Zhang Hu, choose to attack at this time, maybe there is something wrong with your brain...Meng Shanming is over there..." Speaking of this, Wu Qunlie, who was muttering to himself, was suddenly startled, quickly lifted the quilt and got down on the couch, also barefooted Walking up and down the floor.

At this moment, another voice came out from outside, "Report!"

Wu Qunlie shouted, "Come in."

A courier entered and presented an urgent report with both hands: "My lord, Xu Laiping, the defender of the Hukou defense area, has sent an urgent report. The food storage area in Hukou has been attacked by a large number of Yan troops. An additional 100,000 troops have been sent to help!"

Wu Qunlie gasped, and exclaimed: "How can there be a large number of Yan troops in my defense line, could it be that the magic soldiers have descended from the sky?" He grabbed the urgent report and read it.

After reading it, I realized that Xu Laiping was also wondering where the large number of Yan troops came from.

Thinking of the sudden change of Zhang Hu's men and horses, Wu Qunlie walked barefoot to the Jiangfang map and stared at it.

Just at this time, there was another report from outside, another message from Xu Laiping, and it seemed that Zhang Hu's troops on the other side were about to attack.

This is nonsense, this side has already got the news first, Wu Qunlie waved his hand and ignored it, staring at the map and said sharply: "Quickly go and find out if there is any movement from Xu Jingyue's department, An Xianzhao's department, Su Qitong's department, and Shi Xinmao's department on the other side !"
