After hearing the words, the generals also agreed, hoping to defeat Nan Yanxi in one fell swoop and completely get rid of the decline.
Xiang Tianxing pondered for a while and thought he could give it a try.
This opportunity can be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xiang Tianxing no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Okay! In that case, let's fight him."
"Order the troops to have a good rest and launch an attack at five o'clock tomorrow."
"We must kill the enemy's reinforcements before they arrive."
"Yes!" Xiang Yang and the generals agreed and went back to make arrangements.
After everyone left, Xiang Tianxing studied the map for a while, then turned around to rest.
The armies of both sides, which had been fighting fiercely for a whole afternoon, were extremely tired and slept heavily.
Deafening grunts came from the military camps of the two armies inside and outside the city.
It's like a symphony concert singing duets to each other.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was midnight.
The crescent moon was obscured by a drifting dark cloud, and there was no longer any light in the entire night sky.
At this time, in Xiang Jun's main camp, the two sentries on the sentry tower were chatting in a daze.
An older soldier was scaring the new recruit next to him.
"Hey, kid, how many years have you been in the military?"
The recruit rubbed his sleepy eyes and said confusedly: "Uh... no, I just came here. This is my first battle."
"Oh...yeah..." Old Soldier Youzi smiled evilly in his heart when he heard this, thinking that since it was so boring, it would be better to tease him.
Then he curled his lips and shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a pity, what a pity..."
When the recruit saw him like this, he was a little puzzled: "Huh? Brother Six...what's the pity?"
"What's a pity?" The old soldier chuckled: "Of course it's a pity for you...it's a pity for you in your great years...it's a pity..."
Seeing his mysterious look, the simple recruit suddenly felt a little frightened.
He quickly waved his hands and laughed twice: "Haha... Brother Six, you are making fun of me again, don't scare me..."
"This attack on the city will most likely not be our center's turn... When I joined the army, the captain told me so."
"The Chinese army is here to protect the general. It is not our turn to attack cities and plunder villages..."
"Really?!" The veteran screamed strangely when he heard this, and stared at the recruit with interest with his triangular eyes.
"I say you are stupid, but you are really stupid. What does a school captain do when he recruits soldiers? A dog lifts the door curtain all because of his mouth..."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and stroked the two strands of rat whiskers beside his mouth, squeezed his triangular eyes, and lowered his voice and said: "Come on, come on...boy..."
"Brother Six, let me tell you something is different...I guarantee you haven't heard it..."
When the recruit saw this, he doubted his presence and couldn't help but put his head towards him.
The veteran waved, turned around and sat down, leaning on the wooden railing of the sentry tower.
Putting the old fire gun aside, he took out a pipe from his pocket, stuffed some tobacco, lit it with a fire stick, and started smoking.
Seeing this, the recruit also put down the crossbow in his hand and sat down with him.
The old soldier took a puff of cigarette and said slowly in a sinister tone: "Boy... Brother Six, I have eaten before."
"When our Lord Xiang was still the Prime Minister of Great Xia, I, Lord Six, worked in the team. In the blink of an eye, it has been six or seven years."
"I remember... my first year as a soldier, uh... in Yunzhou... yes, Yunzhou... we were suppressing bandits at that time."
The veteran took another puff and puffed out the choking smoke and said, "At that time, I was in the Chinese Army just like you."
"That night...I was standing guard with an old man. The old man said you should rest for a while and call you when I feel sleepy..."
"I was still young at the time, and when people said that, I listened. I lay down and fell asleep..."
"Hey... I had a great sleep that time... I felt... my face getting warm in my sleep."
"I opened my eyes in a daze! Hey! Guess what..."
The recruit listened like a god and subconsciously asked: "What...what's wrong?"
"Hey! When I opened my eyes... everything in front of me was blood red. The old man was shot through the neck with an arrow, and blood spurted all over my face."
The veteran said quietly, and the recruit hurriedly asked: "Then... what happened next?"
"Later..." The veteran finished smoking and banged the pipe on the wood: "Later...Sixth Master, I just stood guard with you..."
He sighed deeply and patted the recruit on the shoulder: "Don't blame Mr. Liu for not reminding you. Our Chinese Army is the most dangerous!"
"If the enemy steals the camp, the army is the best choice, you know? The ones to be killed now are the sentries!"
"Ah?" The recruit was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and swallowed nervously: "Ah...haha...haha...Sixth Brother, you...are you trying to scare me again..."
"Our Chinese army is so well-protected, how could they get in? And I heard... the number of defenders in the county is only 60,000 at most."
"We have nearly 200,000 people. How dare they come to steal the camp? It's impossible, impossible..."
"Impossible?" The veteran glared and said in a solemn tone: "Boy... do you know who is on the other side?"
"Ah? Didn't you say... they are the remnants of Ming thieves?" The recruit blinked.
"Humph... remnants? You believe it too!" The old soldier chuckled: "The leader in the city opposite is none other than the leader of the Ming thief, Nan Yanxi...!"
"Ah? Really?"
"Of course it's true... Think about it, if Nan Yanxi is here in person, can these Ming troops be remnants?"
The veteran leaned his head and lowered his voice deliberately: "I can tell you...this Nan Yanxi is not a mortal...it is said that he is the reincarnation of the emperor."
"It is said that this fire blunderbuss is the artifact he brought down from heaven, and is used by heavenly soldiers and generals."
"Hey..." The recruit laughed dryly: "This...aren't these all rumors..."
"Rumors? Huh!" The veteran curled his lips: "Then let me ask you, how did Yanzhou lose it?"
"Nan Yanxi and his men jumped out directly from the Qinglian Mountain Range, with all their beards and tails."
"The Qinglian Mountain Range is a cannibal. It has been there for hundreds of years. How can anyone dare to go in there? No one who goes in can come out alive."
"If he were a mortal, how could he get out of there? Humph..."
After the veteran finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he stood up.
"Come on...I'm telling you what are you doing...When I get to Dongzhou, I'll get sick and get discharged from the army."
"I heard that the prefectures and counties under the Ming Dynasty all carried out reforms. Everyone has land to farm and no taxes are collected on a per capita basis."
"Children can study for free, and people can see doctors for free. Mr. Liu, I should also live like a common person..."
After saying that, I couldn't help but yawn and stretched.
At this moment, a sound of breaking wind came from the darkness, and the two sentries on the other sentry tower were instantly pierced through the throats by arrows shot from the darkness.
Fortunately, one of the veterans stretched his body, and the one that shot at him missed his neck and flew past.
