Daming Military Empire

Chapter 98
The night was very dark and the wind was very cold. On a small hill about two miles north of the camp of the rebel army, there stood a military tent alone. Two soldiers of the rebel army sat around the fire in front of the camp. chatting.It was too dark, and they didn't even have the desire to get up and look at the foot of the mountain. Who would be so idle as to walk in the dark in such a cold night!
However, what they didn't expect was that there were actually people walking in the dark in such a cold night, and not just one or two, there were many, many, among them was a group of people who left the brigade and fled to Xiaoshanbao silently .

This group of people are all wearing black night clothes. In such a dark night, if you don't stare at them carefully, you can't see the figure.

They approached the military tent quietly like ghosts, but suddenly lurked down when they were dozens of steps away from the military tent.At this time, two more people came out in a crowd, and quickly rushed towards the fire in front of the military tent. Their figures were so elegant, as if they were walking in the air without making any sound.

The two men in black skimmed behind the two sentinels respectively, covered their mouths as quickly as lightning, drew out their short blades and wiped their necks, the two sentries twitched for a while and then froze.

At this moment, the two men in black gently put them on the ground. One of the men in black stood up and waved back. The men in black who were lurking in the distance immediately surrounded them silently and got into the tent. .

After a while, there was a muffled humming sound from the military tent, and soon there was no more sound. At this time, those men in black who entered the tent came out again. One of the men in black pulled down his kerchief, cupped his hands and said: "Report to the governor, there are exactly eight of them, and all of them have been resolved."

A man in black next to the fire heard the words and pulled his veil. It turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shanxi!He kicked the corpse under his feet aside, and said in a deep voice, "Signal, let them come over."

The man in black who had just reported quickly responded, ran to the fire, pulled out a branch that was burning the most, ran to the northern edge and shook the burning branch up and down three times.

After a while, countless torches were ignited in the north, and they gathered under the mountain bag little by little.

At this time, another man in black beside the fire also took off his face scarf, and it turned out to be Cao Wenzhao, the forward general!He smiled helplessly and said, "Master Governor, do you want to continue touching?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "We can only go here. We don't know the location of the front guard post, and there may be a secret post. It is easy to scare the snake by touching it."

Cao Wenzhao asked again: "Can Zhang Liwei really kill Wang Jiayin?"

Lu Xiangsheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the distant sky, and murmured: "Success or failure depends on luck, wait and see, even if it fails, we have to go."

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao stopped asking questions, but untied his belt and took off his tight black clothes, threw it into the hands of the man in black next to him, then adjusted the loose middle clothes inside, and took a few comfortable breaths .

This governor is really serious, he even has to do it himself to touch a sentry post, and insists on pulling him along, saying that they are the two best in the army, if they don't go up, who will go up?
He touched all the way, touched four or five sentry posts, and finally it was over. The tights were too tight, and his muscles hurt when he tried hard. He would rather wear armor than this tights.

Cao Wenzhao secretly slandered for a while, and several personal guards led him and Lu Xiangsheng's war horses, and came over with their armor and weapons on their backs. He and Lu Xiangsheng put on their armor together, and stood beside the bonfire and waited quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, a group of soldiers dressed as thieves slowly came out of the darkness, and a big man at the head saw the strange scene by the campfire and couldn't help holding the handle of his knife nervously and shouted: "Who is it?"

At this time, Zhang Liwei behind him hurriedly held down his hand that drew his sword, pulled him to kneel on one knee and saluted together: "See you, Governor."

Lu Xiangsheng stared at the food box beside him, and asked expectantly, "Is it done?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liwei opened the lid of the food box and pushed it forward, and said in a loud voice, "Fortunately, the last general will live up to his fate."

Lu Xiangsheng carefully identified it by the light of the fire. It was Wang Jiayin's head. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha, okay, from now on you will be the deputy general of my Tianxiong Army."

Promise and fulfillment are two different things after all, Zhang Liwei saluted excitedly: "Thank you, Governor."

Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward to help him up, and said to Wang Guozhong beside him, "This is Wang Guozhong, General Wang, right?"

Wang Guozhong quickly saluted and said, "It's the villain."

Lu Xiangsheng took a closer look at Wang Guozhong. This man has a hulking back, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks more powerful than Zhang Liwei. He nodded and smiled: "Okay, from now on you will also be the deputy general of my Tianxiong Army."

Wang Guozhong trembled excitedly, clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Governor."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and stepped forward to help him up, he was relieved, and then let them retreat to the side.

The leader of the bandits, Wang Jiayin, had already been put to death, and it was a good time to sneak attack on the enemy camp. Lu Xiangsheng signaled his personal guards to take Wang Jiayin's head, and hurried down the mountain with his horse.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's 12 horses were already waiting at the foot of the mountain. Lu Xiangsheng came to the front of the formation, got on his horse, and said loudly: "Li Mingfu, Zuo Guangxian."

Li Mingfu and Zuo Guangxian rushed forward and clapped their hands together: "The last general is here."

Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Order you two to lead [-] musketeers each, go around from the left flank to the left side of the enemy camp, and form two rows of long snake formations a hundred steps away from the enemy camp, but some bandits want to escape from the left side. Yes, shoot and kill them all."

Li Mingfu and Zuo Guangxian clasped their hands together and said in unison: "The general will follow orders."

Lu Xiangsheng said loudly again: "Cui Zongyin, Li Guoqi."

Cui Zongyin and Li Guoqi hurriedly mounted their horses and cupped their hands, "The last general is here."

Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Order you two to lead [-] musketeers each, go around from the right wing to the right side of the enemy camp, and form two rows of long snake formations a hundred steps away from the enemy camp, but some bandits want to escape from the right side. Yes, shoot and kill them all."

Cui Zongyin and Li Guoqi clasped their hands together and said in unison: "The last general obeys orders."

Lu Xiangsheng waved to the four of them and said, "Go."

The four of them retreated together, and after a while, two fire dragons broke away from the 12 army and stretched to the left and right sides respectively.

Lu Xiangsheng watched the two fire dragons extending to both sides, and did not continue to give orders, but held the big knife in his hand and waited silently.

The guard post of the rebel army was not blind after all, and the two fire dragons were spotted as soon as they walked around the back of the hill. Immediately, a shrill howling sounded from the north of the enemy camp: "Enemy attack, enemy attack."

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng raised his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me!"

After all, he rushed out first, and all the generals behind raised their weapons and shouted together: "Come on.", and rushed out after him.

Immediately after that came the recruits of the 8 Tianxiong Army. Most of these [-] troops participated in the last battle. They all admired the governor Lu Xiangsheng. All the generals rushed out, and howled to follow. The sound wave went straight to the sky and lasted for a long time.
