Lingnan Gang

Although the deputy general was not astute, he still had the ability to read people's words. Seeing Zhou Guangcheng's stern expression, he knew that this matter could not be delayed. He personally went to the army to select fifty elites, led by a centurion, and prepared to attack the song at night. Lin, in this battle, it's not that he thinks highly of those bandits, but he's just thinking about preemptively attacking them, giving them a chance to sharpen their spirits, and earning praise in front of Zhou Guangcheng.

Ji Baichuan didn't dare to wait too long. This forest was guarded by a sentry every few dozen steps, almost surrounding the entire forest, especially when the sentry reported to him yesterday that there seemed to be enemy troops haunting the forest. According to Ji Baichuan's wishes, the guarding soldiers did not catch up, but let go of the scouts. Ji Baichuan understood that Zhou Guangcheng was a veteran, and as long as he heard the situation here, he could easily guess what was going on in the forest. Therefore, it is impossible not to send troops to attack, and it is inevitable that there will be many nights and dreams. The sooner they can be wiped out, the better. This forest is a good place to hide, but it is also very easy to take it. All they need is a fire, and all their efforts can be wiped out. It was burned, so Ji Baichuan stepped up his defenses. Except for the sentinels, the rest of the staff also changed guards in turn and patrolled around.

The craftsmen are also making siege equipment day and night. Although Wu Weiyang has given enough convenience, due to manpower and equipment, the progress is much slower than Lin Qingtang expected. Hands and feet to work.

"Master Lin, don't worry, but it's quite amazing to build three ladders and two flying bridges in just two days." Ji Baichuan said in relief.

Lin Qingtang kept busy with the work at hand, and said: "The army has arrived at the predetermined position, but it cannot attack because the work in hand has not been completed. How can I not be in a hurry? The ladder and the flying bridge are the most basic equipment. , can only provide guarantee for climbing the city, if we talk about the two offensive catapults, it will probably not be built until tomorrow."

Lin Qingtang took a sip of water and continued: "Besides, I heard the news from the front that the city will be attacked tonight, but by midnight tonight, I can probably only build another catapult. If this is true It is very bad for us to start a war."

Hearing this, Ji Baichuan smiled slightly and said, "It's not that you don't know the boss, he's not sure what he's talking about, and when he thinks about it, he said that he will fight tonight, but he may not really fight tonight. He probably just wants to see Zhou Guangcheng being beaten." The appearance of jumping feet angrily."

Lin Qingtang laughed and said, "It's quite possible."

The sky was gradually dimming, but the Qulin was filled with the light of torches. Busy craftsmen and patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere. Ji Baichuan found a secluded corner, climbed up on a tree and sat. From here, the city of Guangzhou is not a sight. Really, I can only faintly see the blue brick city wall and the dim lantern hanging on it.

Unconsciously, it was already late at night, and there was no movement from Wu Weiyang's side. It seemed that he really didn't intend to attack. What surprised Ji Baichuan was that no one came from Zhou Guangcheng's side. This is not in line with common sense, Zhou Guangzhou can't He would let Qu Lin's people ignore him, but if he sent someone over, why would there be no movement.

Just as Ji Baichuan was thinking, the sound of leaves fluttering came from next to his ears, and then stopped immediately after a few rustles. Baichuan couldn't be sure who made the sound, but he immediately became vigilant. He went down the tree calmly, ran a few steps into the forest, took out the signal flare in his arms, and was about to set it off. , quickly returned to the camp, and ordered the guards to gather to destroy the enemy.

The two hundred soldiers in the forest were divided into five groups, and each group went forward in four directions for investigation, while the remaining group stayed in the forest to protect the craftsmen who were still working.Ji Baichuan led the soldiers to search in the direction where the movement was made just now, and within two steps, they encountered the enemy head-on. The ten people were wearing dark clothes, and their skills were considered rare, but they were caught off guard when they met Ji Baichuan In addition, the number of people in Ji Baichuan's team was far smaller than that of Ji Baichuan. Eight people died in a short time, and only two people were left alive. Frowning, he swung his long sword and said, "The two of them led the living beings into the tent and locked them up. Qin Han led the craftsmen and soldiers in the forest to the river not far away to fetch water to put out the fire and keep the siege equipment. The rest will follow me. Once the enemy is found, no one will be left alive."

Su Beiqin couldn't stay up late because of his weak body, Wu Weiyang urged him to go to bed very early, but how could Su Beiqin sleep at this critical moment, he insisted on wearing a big cloak while reading the book that had nothing to do with marching and fighting Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases was waiting for the news, but Wu Weiyang had no choice but to watch carefully.

But Su Beiqin's body obviously couldn't last for a long time, and after a while, he felt a little sleepy. Wu Weiyang rested his cheeks and watched Su Beiqin's eyelashes tremble, and then fell asleep unbearably sleepy, and the hand holding the book drooped On the side, Su Beiqin slept very lightly, and would wake up with a slight disturbance, Wu Weiyang lightly took the blanket from the couch and covered him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the quilt was tucked in for him, Jiang Tianhe lifted the curtain and said, "General, there is fire in Qulin."

Su Beiqin suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight and asked, "Is the enemy attacking?"

"I have sent troops to Qulin for support," Jiang Tianhe said, "What should we do next?"

Wu Weiyang took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the teacher's chair, digging his ears nonchalantly and said, "Did you see the signal flare?"

Jiang Tianhe shook his head and said, "Not really."

Wu Weiyang yawned and said, "That means the matter is still under Baichuan's control, and we'll wait for it, someone will report the situation in a while."

Although Su Beiqin was impatient, he also believed in Wu Weiyang's judgment, so he had to wait patiently. Sure enough, after a while, he saw the soldiers sent by Ji Baichuan.

"Report to the boss, there are not many people sent by Zhou Guangcheng, only a few dozen people, and they have been wiped out by the general. The more serious thing is that there are fires everywhere in the forest. The siege equipment has been taken by the craftsmen to a safer place deep in the forest." The soldier reported.

Wu Wei raised his eyebrows, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "There are only a few dozen people. Has this old guy Zhou Guangcheng been at ease for a long time, he can't even make a surprise attack, or does he look down on me at all?"

The soldier just came to report the situation, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer Wu Weiyang's question, so he just stood there in astonishment.

Su Beiqin had already lost his sleepiness, but his head was a little heavy. He rubbed his brows and asked, "How is the equipment prepared by Master Lin?"

"Report to the military commander," said the soldier, "Because of the limited time, there are only three ladders and two flying bridges, and two catapults are about to be built. After all the troubles at night, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow morning. "

Su Beiqin glanced at Wu Weiyang, who was holding his chin with a look of lifelessness, and said to the soldier, "You have worked hard too, let's go down and rest first."

After the soldiers went down, Wu Weiyang just stretched his waist and said to Jiang Tianhe who was still waiting: "You go to make peace with Baichuan first, and when the equipment is ready tomorrow, you will release the signal bomb."

Su Beiqin turned his face sideways, but the warm candlelight couldn't warm his cold and pale face. He breathed out, leaned back on the chair slowly, and said with calm eyes: "Are you about to start?"

Wu Weiyang wanted to reach out to touch his face, but when he was done, he just held a strand of hair and rubbed it in his palm, lazily said: "Wait until dawn, give Taiping a little more time to prepare, there are still two hours, you can do it too." Let's rest for a while, it will save you too fast tomorrow, and you won't be able to see my galloping heroic posture."

Su Beiqin smiled angrily, but in the end he closed his eyes obediently and rested.Wu Weiyang didn't hold his hand slowly until he fell asleep, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, when Su Beiqin woke up, Wu Weiyang had already changed into his armor and was shouting and shouting outside to give orders. When he saw Su Beiqin coming out of the camp, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Why not much?" Get some sleep."

Su Beiqin had already seen the siege equipment parked at the gate of Daying, and the number was not large. Fortunately, it was not a protracted battle between them and Zhou Guangcheng, and these equipment were enough. He squinted his eyes and said: "Taiping Is there any news?"

Wu Weiyang nodded and said: "I just got up this morning and received a message saying that I'm ready, so I'm leaving too."

Su Beiqin smiled indistinctly and said, "Be careful in everything."

Their battle with Zhou Guangcheng, at least they can't fight a war of attrition, they have to take Guangzhou City before the imperial reinforcements arrive, otherwise there will be more disasters than good luck, but Subei Qin sees that Wu Weiyang is full of confidence, and he can't help feeling a little relieved.

Wu Weiyang took the rein handed by the soldier, and quickly turned on the horse. The red tassel on the military helmet swayed, and he also showed two deep dimples. Prepare wine and meat, and wait until I return from victory."
