Section 37: The sound of the drums

Chapter 37 The sound of war drums

Chapter 37 The sound of war drums

The news that Zhu Tianjiang was going to kill Fan Rong immediately spread throughout the camp. Fan Rong was tied to a high platform, and Zhu Yi was sharpening a sword beside him. He didn't know that Zhu Tianjiang was killing Fan Rong for real, so he could only

Waiting for follow-up orders. But in Zhu Yi's mind, he was probably acting to scare the people in Zhennan Camp.

Zhu Tianjiang walked out of the tent and did not return to his sleeping tent. Instead, he ran to his handsome car and sat in it. Wen Ruhai led the generals in the camp and begged Zhu Daguan to show mercy.

Guo Ying and Yu Gege also ran over. The Zhennan camp was full of old men under her father. Guo Ying did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang actually ordered the execution of the leader.

"Tianjiang, you are crazy. Hurry up and order General Fan to be released, otherwise I will never be done with you." Guo Ying's face turned pale with anger. Zhu Tianjiang didn't even discuss such a big matter with her.

"Tianxiang, you can't do this, it will affect the morale of the army." Yu Gege glanced at the surrounding soldiers worriedly.

Zhu Tianjiang had already calculated in his heart that he was afraid of triggering a mutiny. But there was nothing he could do otherwise. Zhu Tianjiang knew that if he lowered his head this time, he would only be a puppet in the future.

The Zhennan camp is all direct descendants of Guo Tianxin. This team is well-trained and strictly enforces military regulations. If Fan Rong hadn't learned that the Yun Kingdom was invading, Fan Rong would have lost control in his panic, and he would have hidden his dissatisfaction.

Go on. Besides, everyone knows Zhu Tianjiang's position in the Guo Mansion. Guo Tianxin's ability to hand over power to Zhu Tianjiang is enough to prove General Guo's trust in Zhu Tianjiang.

When Guo Ying saw that Zhu Tianjiang was silent, she felt anxious and said, "Tianjiang, I'm going to untie General Fan and see who can stop me."

"Bold, do you know what the consequences will be if you release the crime privately? Come here, give Guo Ying to me and lock her up in my sleeping tent." Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart that the fire is not yet ready, why are you causing trouble?

"Let's see who dares~!" Guo Ying angrily pulled out her sword.

But after she finished saying this, she was slapped on the back of the head by Zhu Sanzhong, who then had a fight and took Guo Ying out.

When the generals saw that Zhu Tianjiang dared to be unreasonable to Miss Guo, many of them pulled out their swords with a 'swish' sound. The scene suddenly became tense.

Yu Gege looked around in panic, wondering why Zhu Tianjiang did this. The fourth prince was currently supervising the formation at the back gate of Shutian Mansion. If he was there, he might be able to act as a middleman to mediate.

Lin Feng emerged from nowhere and walked to Zhu Tianjiang's car, carrying a wine gourd.

"Do you want to rebel? Put away your knives!" At the critical moment, Wen Ruhai roared angrily and suppressed the situation.

"Your Majesty, Coach, Wen Ruhai's discipline is incompetent. If you really want to kill me, I will be willing to take Fan Rong's place." Wen Ruhai said, kneeling on one knee.

"Boy, let's just call it a day. I can't save you if you mess up." Lin Feng said something from between his teeth. His voice was so low that even the big guy next to him didn't hear it.

Zhu Tianjiang stood up and glanced at the angry soldiers. Zhu Tianjiang walked to Wen Ruhai and reached out to help him up. Just as Wen Ruhai was about to speak, Zhu Tianjiang secretly squeezed Wen Ruhai's arm.

Wen Ruhai was startled. When he saw Zhu Tianjiang's eyes, he seemed to understand something.

"Come here, bring me Fan Rong." Zhu Tianjiang turned around and walked back to the handsome car, giving orders loudly.

Fan Rong was much more honest now. He didn't expect that this humble guy would kill him whenever he asked.

"Fan Rong, since all the generals are interceding for you, I will let you go today. However, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

Speaking of this, Zhu Tianjiang glanced at everyone indifferently, "Fan Rong should be severely punished for contradicting me. However, I believe that this is Wen Ruhai's inability to manage the army, which caused such a situation. Therefore,

I will not punish Fan Rong, but will only hold Wen Ruhai accountable. If someone comes, I will punish Wen Ruhai with thirty military sticks."

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers in the Zhennan camp surrounding him gathered around him with cheers. Zhu Yi and others were startled and quickly protected Zhu Tianjiang.

"Sir, General Wen cannot be blamed. I, Fan Rong, was at fault. I admit whether he killed or beat me. Please forgive me, General Wen." Fan Rong was dumbfounded now. He did not expect that Wen Ruhai would be punished.

"Sir, I am willing to accept the punishment for General Wen~!"

"Sir, the last general will be punished~!"

A group of people knelt down one after another, willing to take the thirty military sticks for Wen Ruhai. This time Zhu Tianjiang did not relent, and walked directly to the big tent with a flick of his sleeves and robes.

No one from the law enforcement team dared to come forward and take action. Zhu Yi had no choice but to wave his hand and asked them to enforce the law with his own troops.

Outside the tent, thirty soldiers' sticks crackled loudly, and many people cried out in distress. Zhu Tianjiang ignored this and called Zhu Er in.

"Set up sky lanterns and ask about the situation in the city."

"Cha!" Zhu Er agreed and walked out.

After the military stick was fired, Zhu Tianjiang gave an order to raise the tent again. This time it was not like before, all the generals had fear in their eyes.

"Listen, generals, from now on, we are not allowed to talk about the invasion of Dangyun Kingdom in the camp. Our mission is to capture Shutian Mansion and return to the capital to rescue them. All teams will go back to prepare immediately, as long as there is news from the city

, attack the city immediately."

"I have the order!" The generals clasped their hands and shouted in unison. At this moment, Zhu Tianjiang truly became the commander-in-chief of this army.

As soon as everyone retreated, Zhu Tianjiang quickly walked out with Daniel He Yang. When they arrived outside Wen Ruhai's tent, Zhu Tianjiang gave an order and told them to hold their hands outside the door.

As soon as Zhu Tianjiang entered, he found Wen Ruhai sitting on a chair, looking like he had just been severely punished.

Zhu Tianjiang hurriedly walked over and said, "Uncle Wen, you have been wronged."

Wen Ruhai smiled and said, "It's heaven. Thirty military sticks are exchanged for prestige in the army. I will still settle the account. It's okay, those little guys are good at beating, the sound is quite loud, and they don't hurt or itch at all."

.By the way, when will Shutian attack?"

Wen Ruhai smiled magnanimously. When Zhu Tianjiang squeezed his arm, Wen Ruhai understood the meaning. Although Wen Ruhai was more concerned about southern Xinjiang than other generals, he could still distinguish the priorities. Once

If the Zhou family wins, the first place to be cleaned is Zhennan Camp.

"We have sent people to contact the city. If possible, we will start early tomorrow morning. We can't wait any longer. Zhou Yantian's people will arrive soon. We must also be prepared to try to eat the people he sent in one fell swoop."

"Okay, it just so happens that this attack on the city can also be used to train the new army. An army that does not experience death cannot produce elite soldiers." Wen Ruhai agreed with Zhu Tianjiang's approach.

After coming out of Wen Ruhai's tent, Zhu Tianjiang felt much more relaxed. Zhu Er walked over quickly, and four sky lanterns had just been raised in the city, indicating that the city was already in a very critical state.

"Zhu Er, inform the brothers in the city that as soon as it gets dark tomorrow morning, use the sound of drums as a signal to coordinate with the army to attack the city gate."

"It's an order!" Zhu Er hurriedly set off the sky lanterns again.

Now the sky lanterns have become the only signal to communicate with the city. Zhu Er ordered people to create many. All he had to do was write words on them. Zhou Dazhong knew that this was sending a message, but he had no idea what to do. Shutian

Even the prisoners in the prison could not be packed, so people in the city still released sky lanterns to respond. Every time they saw the sky lanterns rising, Yao Yiping immediately sent people to arrest them. But when they arrived at the location, not even a single person could be seen. In desperation, Zhou Dazhong only

It allows people to learn to decipher the literal meaning.

In the past few days, the whole city's drinking water comes from the water source left in the recesses of the dead stream. Yao Yiping has sent heavy troops to guard it, and no one is allowed to approach. Tang Qili has become the water distribution officer, responsible for how much water is allocated to each household. Hesitation is lacking

People in the city often fight over water. In this case, once someone takes the lead, it is estimated that the whole city will follow suit.

When Zhu Daguan walked to his sleeping tent, several soldiers immediately retreated to the distance. In the big tent, Yu Gege carefully comforted Guo Ying. Guo Ying cried like a tearful person and kept cursing Zhu Tianjiang.

Heartless.

Zhu Tianjiang walked in with a playful smile, "Hey, have you scolded enough? Why don't you stop talking first and scold again later."

As soon as she saw Zhu Tianjiang come in, Guo Ying turned around angrily and cried in grievance.

"Brother Tianjiang, you are serious, how could you treat Guo Ying like this?" Yu Gege said, winking at Zhu Tianjiang, with the intention of coaxing her.

Zhu Tianjiang walked up to Guo Ying and said, "Yingzi, I can't help it. If I don't do this, no one will listen to my orders in the future. The Zhennan army is all your father's people, how can I really kill them?"

." Zhu Tianjiang said, sitting next to Guo Ying.

"I will never ignore you again, you big liar, you actually asked someone to beat me." Guo Ying cried, lying on Yu Gege's body in aggrieved manner.

Zhu Tianjiang did not persuade him any more, but kept a straight face and said seriously, "Listen, you two, our situation is extremely dangerous. The army from the capital will be here soon. If the decree in the military camp cannot be implemented anymore, we will have no choice but to

Waiting to die~!”

Zhu Tianjiang seriously explained the crisis situation. When the two girls heard these things, their attention was immediately attracted. When they heard that Prince Jing led the capital army to repel the Zhou army, Yu Gege burst into tears with excitement. Zhu Daguan followed

It was like a storyteller, and the plot was ups and downs. The two girls listened attentively, and they didn't realize that Zhu Tianjiang had already held them both in his arms.

"Tiancheng, if this happens again in the future, tell me in advance. I really think you are going to kill Fan Rong." Guo Ying understood Zhu Tianjiang's difficulties in the army. The misunderstanding was eliminated, and Guo Ying was gentle.

looked up.

"Yes, I was also scared at the time. What if there was a mutiny?" Yu Gege also said.

After saying that, he suddenly realized that the postures of the three people were too ambiguous. Yu Gege struggled quickly and his face turned red. Little did he know that Zhu Daguan had no intention of letting go.

Guo Ying also reacted to Yu Gege's struggle, and couldn't help but glare at Zhu Tianjiang, "Smelly pig, you know how to bully women, be careful Prince Jing beats you into a pig's head." Guo Ying said, twisted her waist and struggled.

one time.

Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly, "I have already told the emperor that after this battle is over, the emperor will marry you two to me. If the emperor does not agree, I will not return to the capital to rescue you." Zhu Tianjiang smiled evilly.

He said.

It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines these days. Zhu Daguan has long discovered Yu Gege's little thoughts. It's just that he didn't have time to spare his hands during this period. Otherwise, at least Fa Zheng was talking first. After listening, the two little girls looked at each other.

, nervous hearts pounding. As long as the emperor proposes marriage, neither Prince Jing nor Guo Tianxin can change it. Thinking of this, the two girls gave up their struggle happily.

"Sir, Lao Lin asked me to tell you that he wants to be his mother. I'll come back later." Dan Niu stepped in and quickly retreated when he saw the three of them like this.

After being hit by the big bull, Yu Gege was no longer embarrassed to be held by Zhu Tianjiang and quickly broke away.

"Daniu, your grandma is not allowed to eat tonight." Zhu Tianjiang cursed depressedly.

Daniu stood outside the tent, his face as embarrassed as if he had eaten bitter gourd. Seeing He Yang gloating at the side, Daniu said in a low voice.

"We adults are not ashamed. We are hugging a beautiful woman inside."

"You eat~ah eat~eat~!" He Yang stuttered.

"It's okay, I'll eat it secretly later."

"Ah, you eat~you'll be full after you eat." He Yang finally said a complete sentence.

After Zhu Tianjiang made the two girls happy, he immediately set out the tasks for tonight. As soon as it got dark, the Houchengmen Camp began to operate secretly. From a distance, the Houchengmen Camp was still full of military flags. However,

, most of the troops were secretly led around to the main entrance.

In Shutian City, Zhou Dazhong looked haggard, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were as if they had been beaten by frost. These days, the rice has been uncooked, and if you want to drink water, it feels like eating meat. However, Zhou Dazhong gave each of them a few taels.

He gave the money and told everyone that if they hold on for a few more days, the army from the capital will arrive soon.

With the support of silver, although the officers and soldiers in the city felt uncomfortable, no one complained.

Night fell, and as usual, Yao Yiping inspected the city wall. Just as he was about to come down, he heard a "bang, bang, bang" sound of gongs outside the city. Immediately afterwards, there were shouts of killing. In the darkness, there seemed to be many

People rushed towards the city gate.

Yao Yiping almost sat on the ground, "Quick, shoot an arrow, sound the alarm, and release rolling wood and thunder stones~!"

Yao Yiping was frightened. He was not a general who had fought on the battlefield. After these few days, he did not expect that the other party would finally take action.

There was a mess on the city wall, with people shooting arrows and throwing big rocks. Zhou Dazhong heard the alarm and immediately led his people to rush over. Once the city is broken, not only will he not be able to survive, but the northern army may not be able to supply food and grass. Zhou Dazhong said

You have to hold on to everything until the end.

After a full pack of cigarettes, Yao Yiping realized something was wrong and immediately ordered the attack to stop. Only when everyone gasped in fear did Zhou Dazhong and Yao Yiping realize that this was a feint attack.

After a watch, there was another gong sound outside. Whether it was a feint attack or not, the people on the city didn't know. After several rounds, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were exhausted. Not to mention them, Zhou Dazhong and Yao Yiping were all running away.

I can't stand it anymore.

Lin Feng, wearing night clothes, climbed up a very remote city wall. Before the officers and soldiers on the wall could react, Lin Feng turned into a black shadow and flew down, disappearing into the city.

As soon as the fourth watch passed, Zhu Tianjiang was woken up by his own soldiers. He took off his earplugs and put on his uniform, ready for battle.

Under the city gate, it has become a mess. The city was in a lot of trouble that night. At the end, the gong sounded again, and a few arrows were almost symbolically shot. Yao Yiping even shouted hoarse, thinking

Not even a drink of water.

On the handsome car of the camp outside the city, Zhu Tianjiang was wearing a brand new uniform and holding a spear in his hand. Today he will fight with his brothers to show the people in the Zhennan camp that he is just like Zhu Tianjiang.

Able to charge and kill the enemy. Although Zhu Tianjiang didn't want to do this, he had to take a risk in order to truly gain support.

"Sir, the time has come! All the generals have finished lining up." The herald ran to the car and shouted loudly.

Zhu Tianjiang looked at the hazy city gate in the distance. This was the first battle in his life, and he must not make any mistakes.

"Come on! Beat the drums!"

Zhu Tianjiang raised his spear in his hand, and bang-dong-dong-dong~ the sound of war drums that was different from the previous times sounded outside the city.
