Devil’s Advent

Send the order down, get off your horse and rest, no fire is allowed, let the sentry ride out.

No tents were set up. Under Zheng Fan's order, all the barbarians settled their horses and began to eat dry food and drink water.

They are from the desert prisoner tribe, and they are not coddled at all. To a certain extent, they are more able to endure hardships than the Yan army.

Zheng Fan took out fried noodles from the horse's side pocket, leaned against a tree, and ate with the water in his bag, Liang Cheng sat beside him.

My lord, are you going to attack the fort ahead later?

Since you're here, you have to go up and try.

Is this what the Lord discussed with the blind man?

En. Zheng Fan nodded.

The subordinates don't believe it.

Zheng Fan heard the words, smiled, and asked:

Why?

If the lord has discussed it with the blind man, he will definitely bring Xue San with him when he comes out this time.

The fortress in front stood there quietly, and there were only 400 barbarian cavalry under him, so it would definitely be impossible to attack with great fanfare.

The reason why they are so far away to stop and rest, and they are not allowed to light a fire, is also to hide themselves, so as to prevent being discovered by the opposite fortress. Once the beacon fire is lit, the surrounding Suibao and nearby garrisons will definitely be alarmed.

So, since you want to choose a sneak attack, if it is a plan that has been discussed long ago, how could you forget to bring the assassin in the team?

Um.

Zheng Fan admitted, put the last bit of fried noodles in his palm into his mouth, took a sip of water,

It won't take long for what happened today, and our infamy will come one after another. Maybe it will attract the attention of the big bosses in the court. If nothing else, the prime minister's alma mater has been trampled by us. He will definitely know of.

But it’s not enough to be famous, you have to walk on two legs to walk steadily.

Anyway, the imperial court is already starting to clean up Yinlang County, and is also reorganizing the defense system of the border town. This is a precursor to attacking Qianguo.

Before starting, you must be provocative and create some tension. I don't know who will be assigned to this job by the people above, but it doesn't matter, we just grab it.

I found that since I woke up in this world, I have no other abilities that stand out, but the one of grabbing merit, I have a unique talent.

Although the master explained it well, the subordinates don't think this is the real reason.

Hehe, the most fundamental reason is that my hands are itchy.

Um.

Liang Cheng accepted this reason.

Actually, in my previous life, I liked playing strategy stand-alone games. Do you know what kind of style I play those games?

Reckless?

Zheng Fan shook his head and replied:

Go.

Zheng Fan handed the water bag to Liang Cheng,

Then put your hands in front of you,

Liang Cheng poured the water in the water bag onto Zheng Fan's hand,

Zheng Fan started rubbing his hands.

In the game, I like to farm in my hometown. I have commerce to do commerce, and I have technology. I don't like fighting in the early stage. After the farming is over, I will push it.

But that's a game. Once I enter the reality, once I have soldiers and some property under my hands, I feel very restless in my heart.

It’s like having some money in your pocket, and reason tells you that you should save it to buy a house or a car or give a bride price,

But you still can't help but go out and have fun that night.

To tell you the truth, I went to the academy today and took the blame. Although I knew that I might get into the eyes of that Jingnanhou, I still felt uncomfortable.

So, the lord is planning to vent his anger on the Gan people?

This is a strategic test. According to the way recorded in history books, it is almost like: Dayan Wu'an ten years, with Cui Liubao defending Zheng Fan started... oh no, start again;

In the autumn of the tenth year of Wu'an in Dayan, Zheng Fan, the garrison of Cuiliu Fort, shot the first arrow of Yan to the south, marking the beginning of the Yangan War.

Maybe, thousands of years later, this section will be the test point of the history paper.

My lord.

Um?

I want to say something against my will.

you say.

It's a bit abrupt and risky to do so, and besides these barbarians, I'm the only one beside you.

What about the truth?

I find it very interesting.

Zheng Fan smiled, reached out and patted Liang Cheng on the shoulder.

He knew that he was panicked, and Liang Cheng, who had been training soldiers all the way, could only hold back even more.

It's okay, it's our purpose to make things happen, when the blind man made a plan before, didn't he play like crazy?

This time we are just going to test and test, if we can sneak attack a fortress, we will sneak attack one, if the defense is tight, we will go for a walk immediately.

It doesn't make sense that he is only allowed to light the lamp blindly, and we are not allowed to set fire.

There are too many forts here, and the flint forts are also very dense. We have to be careful when we do it later.

Well, you pick twenty people later, let's touch them first and see if we can pull out that nail.

The subordinate obeys.

…………

Are you ready? (savage language)

Ready. (savage language)

Zheng Fan nodded in satisfaction. He and Liang Cheng had already taken off their armor, but the twenty barbarians who were selected to be the reconnaissance company were even more ruthless. They directly chose to be shirtless.

The border between Yan State and Qian State is already considered a bitter cold place in the north for the people of Qian State, but here, for the barbarians who have been living in the desert, they even feel a little warm.

Barbarians have a lot of hair on their bodies. Even if these guys are naked, the large patches of hair on their bodies look like they are covered with fur.

The rest of the barbarians have already wrapped the horseshoes, and the horses have their mouths on the tip. After the appointed time, they will rush forward immediately.

If the fortress has been succeeded, they will be escorted in. If they fail, their sudden advance will also be able to escort Zheng Fan and others back.

This is also impossible. There is no walkie-talkie in this era. If you dare to foolishly succeed and shake a torch on the fort, all the nearby fortresses will emit smoke.

As for learning animal calls, that's even more nonsense. The distance is here, and you have to learn dinosaur calls to notify the ambush men here.

Set off!

After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he looked at Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng nodded, he walked in the front, and Zheng Fan followed behind him, completely imitating Liang Cheng's movement trajectory.

There is no way, Zheng Fan lacks actual combat experience, but he wants to do it himself, so he can only hug his thigh.

As for the other 20 barbarians who followed up, they were natural hunters in the desert, and soon after they dispersed, they began to grope towards the fort according to the rhythm while hiding their figures.

Generally speaking, no matter it is day or night, no matter it is day or night, the topmost sentry towers of this kind of fortress on the border will never leave people. They are like hawk eyes and will monitor wherever they can see all changes.

The people of Qianguo were indeed frightened by the first Zhenbeihou a hundred years ago, so they shrank their heads and started playing civil engineering on the border.

This densely packed flint castle, if you want to say its real defensive effect, it is really not high.

As long as the invading enemy has enough troops, you can slowly pull out the nails you hit here one by one while waiting for your army to come to fight.

But the crux of the problem is that Yan's most elite Zhenbei Army has been responsible for suppressing the barbarians on the edge of the desert for a hundred years, and Yan's domestic restrictions are limited by the family system and cannot mobilize forces to expand abroad.

And this kind of Suibao system is very ideal for the defense of small groups of troops, so gradually, the country of Yan no longer sends small troops south to fight grass valleys and so on.

Later, due to the decline of the barbarian royal family and the opening of the East-West Silk Road, the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom, who had obtained stable financial resources from commercial development, slowly began to acquiesce in Yinlang County becoming a trade transfer point.

The pattern of Great Yan and Small Jiangnan in Yinlang County also came from this.

Originally, the peaceful time may last longer. The people on the border of both sides can live a more stable and peaceful life. The white dove of peace will continue to hover in the sky of Yangan for a long time.

But all of this is likely to be broken tonight because of Zheng Fan's arrival.

It's not that Zheng Fan has never thought about what kind of plot will develop if he and his seven subordinates wake up in the Qian Kingdom.

Maybe, I have to practice calligraphy first, and then under the packaging of Blind Bei, Siniang and others, I will become the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, and then marry the princess to reach the pinnacle of life and follow the basic route of a traditional traveler.

Perhaps, I will have the opportunity to write a lot of frontier poems, and even have the opportunity to become a Confucian commander, leading the army of the Qian State to conquer the Yan State in the north,

Shouting: Hundred years of national hatred, the sea is hard to level!

In short, in the process of groping forward, Zheng Fan's body was firmly advancing with Liang Cheng's rhythm, but his brain had already diverged too far.

arrive.

Liang Cheng's words brought Zheng Fan back to reality from his fantasy.

Raising his head, the wall of the fortress was right in front of him, and the scenery, poems, songs, and feather fan towels that had just been circling in his mind were all blown away by the wind at this moment.

Shatuo Queshi once shouted in front of Zhenbeihou's mansion: I am a barbaric desert;

Then, I, who have already been labeled as a barbarian by the Gan people, should also do what a barbarian should do.

The rest of the barbarians were also very fast. In fact, because Liang Cheng had to match the speed of Zheng Fan, a rookie, when the two of them lurked under the corner of the fortress, the barbarians who lurked together had already been waiting for a long time up.

It's a pity that smoking is not allowed here, otherwise there should be three more cigarette butts under their feet.

Everyone bit the knife in their mouths, and then, began to climb!

Without slings or other climbing tools, everyone just used their hands and feet together to start climbing along the wall in the most primitive way!

At this moment, Zheng Fan regretted not bringing Xue San and the others here.

With Xue San present, it was absolutely easier for him to jump up.

Even a blind person can go up by relying on the power of mind.

But there is no way, I have to pay for my impulse.

Fortunately, this fortress is not that kind of big city. First of all, it is not particularly tall. Secondly, its construction technology is not reliable. It was not built with the goal of never falling when it was first built. In addition, after a hundred years of wind and frost, the walls are full of potholes, and there are not too many places for rock climbing to borrow.

The barbarians are strong and vigorous, and Zheng Fan is also steadily improving by relying on the circulation of Qi and blood in his body.

Liang Cheng's speed was the fastest, because he borrowed his nails, and directly pierced his hard nails into the cracks in the wall to borrow strength. He didn't even need to move his feet, as if he was playing with a horizontal bar.

He wants to be the first one to go up, and he wants to get rid of the one above for observation first!

finally,

Zheng Fan saw Liang Cheng above turned over first.

The rest of the people also started to speed up at this time, and even made a little more noise because of it.

Finally, Zheng Fan climbed up, and the moment he probed, he saw Liang Cheng and several other barbarians squatting there, and immediately felt at ease and turned over.

However, to Zheng Fan's surprise, there was no dead body at the watchtower.

Liang Cheng shook his head at Zheng Fan, indicating that there was no one there.

Is it the night watchman who went to squat in the pit?

This luck is also a little bit too good.

Everyone has already come up, everyone holds the knife in their hands, lowers their bodies, and breathes cautiously.

The first and hardest step is done,

Next,

Just waiting to give orders.

This fortress was not small, and this was chosen as the target because it was the right size, and it was estimated that it could accommodate dozens of soldiers.

Those flint fortresses that look small at first glance may contain single-digit small sparrows, with little flesh and easy to expose, Zheng Fan didn't think about it.

Liang Cheng made a gesture, and then began to grope along the wall. The rest of the people were divided into two rows, leaning on the wall, and slowly groped in following Liang Cheng's rhythm.

After exploring a little bit deeper,

I heard some voices,

You can still see some flames inside.

The wolf smoke is different from the fire light. The guards in the fortress don’t have to eat dry food every day, and they can also cook with fire. The reason why the wolf smoke is called wolf smoke is because wolf dung is used to ignite the best effect. Of course Yes, using other animal manure or adding some sheep felt can also produce good results.

Zheng Fan has been following behind Liang Cheng, so he can hear it more clearly than other barbarians.

Suddenly, Zheng Fan heard some discordant voices, which were women's voices.

Zheng Fan reached out and patted Liang Cheng on the shoulder. Liang Cheng turned his head to look at Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan held the knife in one hand and supported his chest with the other.

Liang Cheng nodded,

Signaling that he also heard the woman's voice.

Can the guards of the dry state bring their families?

This Zheng Fan really doesn't know.

But soon, Zheng Fan found that there were more than one woman's voice, as well as some men's laughter and bragging.

I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could hear the excitement in the words.

The life in the fort is very harmonious, and the relationship between everyone seems to be very harmonious.

That's it, why didn't anyone arrange a vigil?

Liang Cheng began to move forward, followed by Zheng Fan and twenty barbarians. Everyone began to go downstairs carefully. Individuals continue to grope forward alone to see the situation.

Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng looked at each other,

Zheng Fan looked puzzled,

Liang Cheng shook his head,

Obviously,

He doesn't understand either.

Even if he has extremely rich experience in leading troops, he still can't figure out what kind of tricks are going on in this border fortress of the Qian Kingdom.

Liang Cheng made a gesture to Zheng Fan, meaning that at the corner in front, he turned to the right and Zheng Fan turned to the left.

Zheng Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two moved together, and after passing the corner, one on the left and one on the right, respectively stuck to the wall.

Zheng Fan bit the tip of his tongue,

grass,

When is this, where is this, and what are you thinking about!

Squeak!

At this moment, the wooden door on Zheng Fan's side against the wall was opened.

Zheng Fan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and the knife edge was pressed down quickly.

The person inside came out, a tall and thin man in leather armor, about forty years old, with a mouth full of yellow teeth:

I said brother, you have to line up...

puff!

Zheng Fan didn't hesitate, and stabbed the opponent's heart with a knife.

And Liang Cheng over there saw what happened to Zheng Fan's side, and immediately let out a low shout to signal the barbarians behind, and at the same time he raised his knife and rushed inside.

As soon as Zheng Fan pulled the knife out of this guy, more than 20 barbarians behind him rushed past him.

Immediately afterwards,

There was a scream from inside,

Both men and women,

But there was no sound of weapons colliding or shouting.

When everything is over,

Zheng Fan, who couldn't believe it, sat on the chair that the barbarians brought for him, with a pot of charcoal burning in front of him.

Seven or eight women who only had time to wrap some rags curled up in the corner, and more than a dozen naked men knelt on the ground.

In addition, there are more than a dozen men in clothes, kneeling on the other side.

On the ground, there were four corpses.

One is the guy that Zheng Fan hacked at the beginning, who dared to remind himself not to jump in line,

The other three were Liang Cheng who rushed in and hacked anyone he saw, and killed them.

Then, Liang Cheng realized that he didn't need to cut anymore. When the barbarians followed up, they quickly controlled the situation here.

A guy who seemed to be the leader was pulled out by Liang Chengti and fell in front of Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan bent slightly,

Holding a knife in one hand and touching his chin with the other,

asked:

Who are you?

I... the villain is the castle chief here, and the villain's name is... Zhao Changgui.

Fortress? Zheng Fan pointed to the women in the corner over there, and asked, What are these?

This...here, there is a shortage of food and wages in the castle, and the brothers can't live on. The villain, the villain started this business here, begging for a living, begging for a living...

hiss…………

After hearing these words,

Zheng Fan only felt chest tightness for a while,

It was as if all the behaviors that he carefully led his subordinates to lurk all the way before were like a fool acting for himself.

at the same time,

Zheng Fan couldn't help reaching out and touching his face,

Future history books will probably read like this:

In the autumn of the tenth year of Wu'an in Dayan, Zheng Fan, the garrison of Cuiliu Fort, shot the first arrow of Yan to the south, marking the beginning of the Yangan War.

later,

One more thing to add:

He built a chicken castle.
