Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 41 Night Siege

Looking at this young man who wanted to cultivate, Meng Chang didn't know what to say for a moment.

The faction dispute in the army has a long history, and Meng Chang, as Liu Yu's crony, once commanded the Jiangbei battalion. Now Liu Yi has regained the military power of the Jiangbei battalion, which is a little annoying.

In fact, before the expedition, Liu Yu, Liu Yi and others have set a strategy. The main task of the Jiangbei camp is not to destroy the Jiangbei camp of the Huan army, but to control them so that they cannot support Jiankang.

Although Jiankang's garrison is heavy, Liu Yu has already made a battle plan. It can even be said that he has won before the war began.

It's obvious that whoever wins Jiankang first will have the greatest credit, so how can Liu Yi let Liu Yu take the lead so easily? But Meng Chang is in his army, and he still has a certain right to speak. It is impossible for Liu Yi to dominate the army at will.

In this way, Liu Yi has to find a way to remove Meng Chang's military power first, but this is not so easy. After all, Meng Chang's qualifications are there!

So there was a military order for Meng Chang to be the vanguard and forced him to go forward in the rain.

Three thousand vanguard troops are mostly soldiers, and the training time is still short, which does not reach the level of tacit cooperation with the former Beifu veterans. Once they encounter an ambush, it is bound to be in chaos.

And the elites of Beifu led by Liu Yi followed, which can not only carry out anti-encirclement of the ambushed troops of the Huan army, but also destroy them in one fell swoop.

To put it bluntly, Meng Chang's 3,000 troops accept military orders, which is bait. Without accepting the order, Liu Yi can take the opportunity to treat his disobeyance and dismiss him.

At the beginning, Meng Chang didn't think so much, but after Liu Yi forced him to march in the rain, he fully understood.

Meng Chang really doesn't want Lu Qiang to get involved in the stainty between these high-level officials.

"What's the problem?"

Meng Chang tried his best to calm down his anger. He also hoped that he had made a mistake. After all, the scouts had not found the enemy.

"General, I think it's easy for us to be taken advantage of by the enemy. Shall we temporarily withdraw from the camp and move forward with the army?"

Since Meng Chang has felt that such a march is wrong, Lu Qiang doesn't need to say more, just say what he thinks.

Meng Chang smiled bitterly. Although he had a good idea, if he went back to the camp, would he not agree with Liu Yi's mind?

shook our heads and said, "Remember, we are the front vanguards under the military order. How can we standstill because of a rain? All right, you go back! Order the army to continue to move forward with less rain"

Lu Qiang had no choice but to return to his camp and order everyone to be ready to leave at any time.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but that's what farmers said. In ancient times, roads were mostly dirt roads. After being soaked in rain, they would become muddy.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for soldiers who need to walk on two legs.

Sur Sur Sur Sur Sur Survively, Liu Yi did not take any action against Meng Chang's behavior. Out of respect for the general, although the sunset was already setting when the rain stopped, Meng Chang ordered the army to march another 20 miles before setting up camp.

As the sky darkened, countless bonfires rose in the camp. Soldiers without duty gathered around the bonfire to warm up and bake soaked military uniforms.

The spring rain in February is still chilly. If you don't deal with your wet clothes in time, it's easy to catch a cold.

The dark clouds in the sky have become sparse, and the light reflected from the horizon reflects the clouds in a gorgeous crimson.

The sunset is infinitely good, but near dusk. As the sunset completely fell, the earth was gradually controlled by darkness.

The soldiers who walked in the mud for a day were already exhausted and got into their respective tents to rest.

But Lu Qiang couldn't sleep, because the uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger, which he had never had before.

It's not that he can't believe the brothers of the scout camp. The scout camp has been expanded, and the regiment leader is still Yang Guanghan, and Lu Qiang knows that the scouts of the Beifu army are all elites in the army. It is reasonable that there should be no problem.

Then why are you still restless? Lu Qiang doesn't know why.

The other soldiers took a rest. After inspecting the battalion, Lu Qiang and Liu Sinu came to the camp gate and stood still.

Liu's daughter is about to become a full-time nanny of the hill leopard. Except for him, others feed the hill leopard, but the hill leopard doesn't even look at it, which is why Lu Qiang took him around.

The pure black mountain leopard crawled on Lu Qiang's shoulder, blinking his green eyes, like a dark elf, but the little guy seemed to feel the irritability in Lu Qiang's heart and plucked his teeth in the dark from time to time, as if he were threatening someone.

"Master, brothers say behind your back that you are a person who has seen the world. Can you help me change your name?"

Liu Sinu has always worshipped Lu Qiang, and it is still that kind of unreserved worship. As long as Lu Qiang says it, he will think it is right.

Liu's words are like a seasoning, relaxing Lu Qiang's nervous nerves.

When this boy was in the camp, people called him Liu Laoyao, but his real name was Liu Sinu. No matter what the name is, it sounds a little awkward, but if you want to change your name, you really think highly of yourself.

However, as their head, they can't be underestimated and said, "Then call Liu Silang."

"Sister, servant..."

Liu Sinu meditated several times and suddenly became happy and said excitedly, "Master, do you think I will be a high-ranking official like a waiter in the future?"

Then he shook his head and sighed, "Unless the leader of the regiment became the marshal of the world and the generals, I may still have hope, otherwise a cold people like me want to be a waiter? Dream!"

This Liu's daughter sometimes doesn't seem to have any scheming, but Lu Qiang knows that this boy is not simple and should belong to that kind of vicious type.

But it doesn't matter what kind of person he is, mainly because he doesn't threaten himself.

smiled and said, "What's wrong with the cold people? Who stipulates that the Han people can't be officials?

"Do you really don't know, or do you want to make your brother happy? That official is not selected from the top-ranking scholars. I'm afraid he can't even be rated like me, let alone an official."

Top-quality, scholar, cold!

Lu Qiang remembered that he had read a novel in his previous life, which was written in the nine-grade middle system, and a sentence in the book was also particularly clear.

No cold people at the top and no scholars at the bottom.

In that era, the educational resources were in the hands of those scholars. The official selection system of the nine-grade formal system can be said to be completely tailored for them, and the officials they selected also represented the interests of those scholars.

Lu Qiang suddenly understood why the Jin Dynasty was so chaotic and why he was ousted.

The court is controlled by these gatekeepers. If they can't achieve their own goals or violate their own interests, they can rebel unscrupulously.

Bad habits! I don't know if I have a chance to change it?

I wanted to comfort Liu Sinu a few words, but I didn't know how to speak.

"Go back to rest! I have to go tomorrow morning!"

Liu Sinu nodded, and both of them felt a little heavy. Liu Sinu is worried about her future, but Lu Qiang has more thoughts.

As soon as the two turned around, the hill leopard, who had climbed on Lu Qiang's shoulder, suddenly stood up, staring at the dark place with his little eyes, and his mouth made a sound again. This time, his voice was a little rapid, as if there was some danger approaching it.

Lu Qiang knew that Xiaoshanbao was very spiritual, and Liu Sinu also knew that the little guy would only make such a sound when he was threatened.

The two couldn't help looking at each other with shock in their eyes.

The army camped, and it was obviously impossible for the beast to dare to approach. There was only one explanation left, and someone sneaked over.

"Go and wake up the brothers..."

As soon as Lu Qiang's words fell, a flame rose in the air, and then the shouts of killing in the sky sounded from all directions.

There are obviously scouts around, why hasn't the enemy reported it yet?

At this time, Lu Qiang could not be allowed to think about this. He pulled out his knife and said to Liu Sinu, "I'll follow me later. Let's rush out."

"Ah..."

After a scream, the soldiers guarding at the camp gate were shot down, and then countless shadows appeared. With the sound of killing, rockets all over the sky also poured down, and the camp tents in the camp were ignited in an instant.

The soldiers woke up from their sleep and didn't know what was going on. Many people ran out of the tent before they could even wear their clothes, and were immediately shot down by falling arrows.

In the firelight, the whole camp soon turned into hell on earth, with cries and screams one after another. As the camp gate was opened, countless enemy troops also swarmed in.

Not to mention 3,000 people, even if 100,000 troops face this situation, it will only collapse.

Luo Song and Song Er rushed to Lu Qiang with dozens of people, but Hou San disappeared.

Seeing that the enemy had killed them, Luo Song said eagerly, "Master, let's go!" It's too late if you don't leave."

It's false to say that he is not afraid, but how can Lu Qiang leave Meng Chang, a general who has the kindness to him?

"No, we have to save the general"

After saying that, Lu Qiang ran in the direction of the central army's tent without looking back.

Liu Sinu and more than a dozen soldiers followed without hesitation. Luo Song stamped his feet and said, "Well, if you want to die, you will die." After saying that, he chased after Lu Qiang with Song Er with the remaining soldiers.

Surprisingly, although the enemy was getting closer and closer, Meng Chang's tent was very quiet. The curtain was open, and nearly 100 bodyguards nervously guarded around. You could even see Meng Chang sitting calmly behind the handsome case.

Lu Qiang is a little confused and flirts with his buttocks. What else does Brother Meng play?

"General, let's go!"

Looking at Lu Qiang, who rushed in quickly, Meng Chang smiled and said, "If I can hand over you as a little friend, Meng will have no regrets after his death. Please take care of my family more in the future."

"What nonsense? Let's kill together"

At this time, I don't care if he is a general. While talking, Meng Chang's own soldiers outside the tent and Lu Qiang's men had fought with the enemy who rushed over, but there were more and more enemy troops, and obviously they could not hold on for a while.

Meng Chang seemed to be waiting for Lu Qiang. He stood up and drew his sword in his hand and said arrogantly, "The man's horse leather corpse should have died in the killing field."

Then he whispered, "Remember, it was Liu Yi who harmed me. It's a dead end whether I walk or not. You must kill me later. Remember"

After saying that, Meng Chang quickly stepped out and swirted his sword into the regiment.

After listening to Meng Chang's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, and then understood that Meng Chang had already reported his mortal heart. However, there is no time for him to think about the true meaning of this sentence. More than a dozen enemy troops have been killed with knives and guns.

The ferocious face of the enemy made Lu Qiang have no time to think about anything else and swung his knife to meet him.

They are all afraid of death. Lu Qiang himself is extremely powerful. Now in a hurry, these dozen enemy troops can't stop him at all. After being cut down by him a few people in a blink of an eye, they let him rush out of the big deal.

At this time, the whole camp had completely fallen into a sea of fire, and there were crazy shouts everywhere.

Meng Chang and his own soldiers have disappeared. The first thing that made Lu Qian's eye was Luo Song and Liu Si's daughter were still resisting desperately.

Lu Qiang said without saying a word and threw his knife again.

No one could stop his knife and rushed to Luo Song's side in a blink of an eye.

"Hear me"

Luo Song and the others couldn't help but cheer up when they saw Lu Qiang rushing out. Without saying a word, they followed Lu Qiang and rushed out.

Although it is not the first face-to-face confrontation with the enemy, it is obviously not comparable to this time. They have no way out. If they want to survive, they must keep fighting.

Gradually, the body and consciousness no longer seem to belong to him. When others cut him, he also cut others, screams, the sound of bone tearing, and the sound of enemy weapons piercing the body...

Everything is so unreal. It seems that the enemy can't be killed forever. Lu Qiang can only keep cutting crazily. I don't know when there was no one around him. At this time, his consciousness began to blur, and there was only one idea left in his heart...

I can't die here, I must go out alive...
