Mo Zihan gave the order, and the two thousand Eagle Army flew towards Mucheng, the destination of this actual combat exercise, like tigers descending a mountain.
Lucheng and Mucheng are only more than 200 miles apart. Two thousand soldiers set off at half past one hour (10 p.m.) and arrived at half quarter past midnight (2 a.m.).
One mile outside Mu City, there is a large forest, which is convenient for everyone to hide.
Although they were still divided into four teams, this time it was a practical exercise. How many people were looking at them and the queen. They could not embarrass themselves, let alone the queen.
Therefore, the four captains decided to join forces, cover each other, take care of each other, and divide the work as a whole. They will never work independently like before.
Today, their enemies are Xiliang soldiers who are about to invade their territory.
Although the queen asked them to rob, as soldiers, they still understood their bounden duty and should consider the interests of the country first.
So the task they set for themselves tonight is: while ensuring the safety of the team members, harass Xiliang's 100,000 troops, burn the grain and grass stocks in Mucheng, and then rob, as much as they can rob. Then everyone will divide it equally.
.
Mucheng is the only border city between Xiliang and North Vietnam. In the past, when North Vietnam's late Emperor Balsi was in power, he often sent troops to invade the border of Xiliang. Mucheng, as the only city adjacent to North Vietnam, has suffered a lot in the past few decades.
be disturbed by it.
In order to ensure peace and stability on the border of Xiliang, the late emperor of Xiliang reached an agreement with North Vietnam on the one hand and paid tribute to North Vietnam every year the cattle, sheep and horses they needed, silk and satin, and fire tree fruits that were in short supply in the North Vietnam grasslands. On the other hand,
Send heavy troops to guard Mucheng, the gateway to Xiliang.
Although Ximen Yunhai later became emperor, the 100,000 defenders of Mu City were still not withdrawn.
Now that Xiliang has powerful weapons, they are no longer afraid of North Vietnam, and soon, they will send their troops north to annex the powerful North Vietnam in one fell swoop, and then unify the entire continent.
With the backing of powerful weapons, the defenders of the border town naturally relaxed.
In their hearts, if the North Vietnamese barbarians dare to invade them again, they will be asking for death.
This can be seen from the two red cannons placed in the middle of the city wall.
The majestic red-coated cannon is swung towards the city wall. Even if you have a hundred thousand soldiers attacking the city, you will not be afraid. If you can really do it, if ten thousand come, kill ten thousand, if one hundred thousand come, kill one hundred thousand.
Originally, the border guard rules stipulated that a group of guards should be replaced every two hours at night. However, in order to sleep well, the general who defended the city changed the rules on his own. After the change, the soldiers could take turns to rest, with one person on duty for one day and one day off.
As a result, the soldiers became sleepy by two or three in the morning.
So everyone secretly discussed in private and rested in groups. The rest sat on the ground or lay down to sleep.
When the North Vietnamese warriors looked past the Xiliang soldiers' unfocused eyes and gently put their iron claws on the city wall one by one, the soldiers on the wall were still sound asleep without noticing.
Twenty or so night watchmen also gathered together in twos and threes and chatted, unaware that someone had already climbed up from under the city wall along the rope.
The first one to climb up the city wall was Bai Xu. Among the captains, his qinggong was the best, so tonight,
