38. Night attack
At midnight, it is as cold as water.
Shangguan Mei got up and helped Zhe Xiaolan look at the wound. She felt that it was not serious, so she blew out the oil lamp and turned around and left. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Zhe Xiaolan whisper, "Sister Shangguan, don't go. I'm a little afraid. Can you stay?"
Shangguan Mei suddenly stopped, and the moonlight sprinkled in the house, quietly reflecting her figure. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Okay, girl, but you have to sleep well and don't shout anymore."
"Okay, okay, everything depends on you," Zhe Xiaolan replied weakly.
An hour ago, on the north bank of Elbow Town.
Zhang Zai got on the boat with twenty excellent soldiers. Zhao Ze stood on the shore to see him off and told him, "Zihou, be careful. Don't be careless. If you are found by the enemy, you can't be saved as a teacher. Go back quickly. It's up to you."
"Teacher, don't worry, Zihou, keep it in mind. It will be fine. The students are on their way."
" Take care all the way. Let's go!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow morning, teacher"
"Good"
After Zhang Zai left, Zhao Ze returned to the barracks of Elbow Town. First, he looked at Xiaolan's condition. Then he took people to patrol along the river. An hour later, he went back to his room to rest. Before going to bed, Zhao Ze took out a silver iron pipe from the brocade box, looked at it in the moonlight, and said to himself, "I'll see you in the future!"
At midnight, half of the time, the drums suddenly sounded loudly in the east of Yangzhou.
The soldiers guarding the city were shocked and quickly beat the war drums and shouted loudly: The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!"
In the military camp in Dongcheng, Yangzhou.
Not long after Qian Jingsheng lay down, he jumped up from ** and rushed out with an arrow.
After a ray of incense.
In the courtyard, it was full of people, with knives and guns in their hands and armor on their bodies. After the queue was finished, Qian Jingsheng gave an order, "Let's go!"
The army then started and rolled towards the East City.
At the same time, the inspection of all the key roads in the city has also been strengthened, and more than a dozen patrol teams quickly rushed to the designated places under the leadership of various commanders.
Wang Lun, who was sleeping, was also awakened by the sound of drums outside the city. He ran out without even caring about his clothes and shouted, "Come on, come on, tell me where my enemy is?"
The soldiers ran over in confusion and answered with their fists, "Report the general, the enemy is unknown!"
"Mom, what a group of rubbish. Take the horse quickly, and I will fight in person"
After half a sound, Wang Lun rushed out of the government office in a single dress and went straight to the east city.
On the head of Dongcheng, hundreds of torches are burning brightly as the day.
Zhou Wu can shout, "Open your eyes wide and watch. Don't let the enemy get close. Did you hear it?"
"I heard it, General"
"I heard..."
The city was shouting one after another. The soldiers were ready, and the knives came out of the scabbard and the arrows were on the string, waiting for the enemy to show up, which was a head-on attack.
Half an hour has passed, and the sound of the drums in the east of Yangzhou City has been quiet and can hardly be heard.
"Daes the mother, the thunder and the rain is small." Wang Lun handed the long-handled knife to his own soldiers, came to the mouth in a cloak, frowned, and looked at the night. He always felt that there was something hidden there.
"Brother, you'd better go back first if you wear so little, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold," Qian Jingsheng stood aside and said with concern.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The war is coming. What is the safety of my coach? The safety of Yangzhou is crucial," Wang Lun answered with his mouth.
"Big brother..."
Qian Jingsheng had something else to say, but Wang Lun raised his hand and stopped him.
An hour has passed, and the east city of Yangzhou has returned to a quiet state. There is no sound except for the bursts of insects and frogs singing.
"Big brother, I guess it's Song Jun's trick," Qian Jingsheng said.
"Yes, it's very likely, otherwise, Song Jun does not know the truth of exhaustion, unless they are all fools," Zhou Wu can echoed.
"Maybe, maybe..." Wang Lun still maintained that posture and stood at the mouth.
"Brother, go into the house and have a rest. You have been standing for a long time," Qian Jingsheng persuaded again.
"No, no harm, stand again"
......
The ugly time comes.
The defenders in Dongcheng, Yangzhou have returned to the camp one after another, and only halfway through, they heard the drums of Nancheng beating again, and the horns were blown earth-shakingly.
"Damn, something happened in Nancheng, come on, brothers." Zhou Wuneng quickly divided half of his troops to Nancheng.
The same is true of Qian Jingsheng. As soon as Wang Lun returned to the front of the government office, he got on the horse and rushed to Nancheng again.
South City Head.
Standing full of people, Zhou Wu could shoot out with a bow and arrow.
The rocket crossed the night sky and was as beautiful as a meteor. When it landed, it had not been extinguished.
"What did you see?" Qian Jingsheng asked.
"There's nothing. Is it really a ghost?" Zhou Wu Neng answered angrily.
"Forget it, wait a minute. Maybe it's really Song Jun's strategy. Let's be careful," Qian Jingsheng said worriedly.
"Hope, right?"
Zhou Wuneng's voice fell. Wang Lun climbed to the top of the city with a knife and asked, "Where is Song Jun?"
Qian Jingsheng quickly walked over, held Wang Lun's elbow, and said hatefully, "Big brother, Song Jun is hiding"
"What, hiding? Did they take the wrong medicine?
"No, big brother, please look." Qian Jingsheng motioned Wu Neng to shoot another arrow.
After one arrow, as he said, he did not see half of the Song army.
"Mom, it's playing with yin again" Wang Lun can't calm down.
"Yes" Qian Jingsheng stood at the head of the city for a moment and suddenly said, "Brother, how about this? In the future, I will still guard the East City, and the West City will be Wuneng. As for the South City, we guard half each, and the North City depends on the eldest brother. If we are attacked at night, we will take good care of our own gates, unless the enemy really attack. Then don't mess yourself up. For example, tonight, we will run to Dongcheng and Nancheng later. In my opinion, we have to run to Xicheng later."
As Qian Jingsheng expected, once the ugly time passed, the drums of the West City beat again.
This time, only Zhou Wuneng led the troops to guard, and the rest went back to the camp to rest.
Under the northwest gate of Yangzhou.
Zhang Zai dared not lie in the grass and asked in a low voice, "How's it going?"
The military man replied, "Your Excellency, everything is all right"
"Is it strong?" Zhang Zaiwen.
"It's strong. It can't be broken unless you use a saw," Junhan replied with the water on his face.
"Okay, then withdraw, let's go"
Zhang Zai made a gesture, and Junhan withdrew back into the water and returned along the original road.
