In the evening of the same day, Tang Yin, in accordance with his agreement with Zhan Wushuang, took Zhang Chu, Ming Xuan, Du Feng, and Chen Li out of the barracks and loaded them on the carriage.
Not knowing what Tang Yin was going to do, Zhang Chu, who was already dying with several arrow wounds, immediately woke up, lay in the car, and shouted: "Master Tang, I told you everything I know, you can't kill me..."
Lifting up the car curtain, he looked at Zhang Chu who was shouting continuously, and then at the other three people with earthy faces. Tang Yin sneered in his heart. It seemed that the nobles of Ning State were not as good as Feng State. He deliberately frightened Zhang Chu and said slowly: "No need.
Worry, if I send you on the road!" He also deliberately emphasized the word "on the road".
After Zhang Chu heard this, his head buzzed, then his eyes rolled upward, and he fainted on the spot from fright.
Cursing silently that it was useless, Tang Yin raised his head to the soldier Feng who was driving the carriage and said, "Let's go!"
There were no extra soldiers to accompany them, and there were no generals to drive the carriage. Only a soldier from the Feng Army drove the carriage out of Jinhua City and slowly headed towards the Ning Army's camp.
Before approaching the Ning Army's gate, the Ning Army's gate was opened wide after receiving the news. Zhan Wudi led a cavalry of more than a hundred people and ran out quickly. When they got to the carriage, Zhan Wudi didn't even say hello to the Feng soldiers, and got off directly.
After getting off the war horse, he raised the curtain of the carriage with the purple electric light knife in his hand and looked inside.
In fact, Zhan Wudi doesn't know the four Zhang and Chu people. They live in Lingwu Academy all year round, and they don't have many opportunities to contact Zhan Wudi. Even if they join the army and go on expeditions with the army, Zhan Wudi doesn't put these noble buddies.
In my eyes, I usually don’t pay much attention to them.
Zhan Wudi didn't know the four of them, but all four of them knew him. Suddenly they saw Zhan Wudi appearing outside the car. Except for Zhang Chu who was unconscious, the other three people thought they were dazzled. They all sat in the car and stared in shock.
He shouted: "Wu...Invincible General, you...why are you here?"
Zhan Wudi did not answer, but took a quick look around the car, then shook his head to the cavalrymen who were traveling with him, asking them to confirm the identities of the four people. After receiving Zhan Wudi's instructions, several cavalrymen quickly stepped forward.
, looked at the four people carefully, and then nodded to Zhan Wudi, indicating that they were right.
Seeing this, Zhan Wudi felt relieved and said to the four of them: "You are all right now. I am here to take you back to the camp!" As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhang Chu and asked: "This
brother……"
"He is Zhang Chu. He suffered many arrow wounds and is now unconscious!"
"Oh!" Zhan Wudi frowned. It could be seen that Zhang Chu was seriously injured. He lowered the curtain, walked around to the front of the carriage, looked up and down at the Feng Bing who was driving the carriage, and before he could say anything, he reached out to grab him.
The leather armor on his body was pulled back hard, and he was dragged out of the carriage. Then he pushed hard towards Jinhua City and shouted: "You can go back."
Feng Bing stumbled and somersaulted, but managed to stabilize his tumbling figure. He glared at Zhan Wudi and asked, "That carriage..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhan Wudi snorted and said, "I have requisitioned the carriage. If you keep talking nonsense, I want your head!"
Seeing him raise the big knife in his hand, the wind soldier shrank his neck in fear, quickly jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away.
Zhan Wudi took Zhang Chu and the others back to the army camp. Except for the unconscious Zhang Chu, who was handed over to military doctors for treatment, Ming Xuan, Du Feng, and Chen Li were all taken to the Chinese army tent. At this time, Ming Xuan and the other three had confirmed that they were indeed
When they returned to their own camp, they all felt like they were surviving a disaster. When they saw Commander Zhan Wushuang, the three of them felt as if they had met their family members. They all knelt down on the ground and burst into tears.
Zhan Wushuang was helpless towards these people. He neither blamed nor scolded them. He sighed secretly and said consolingly: "Okay, the three generals are safe now. There is no need to cry anymore!"
After a while, the three of them finally stopped crying. Each of them lowered their heads, while their bodies were still twitching.
Zhan Wushuang first asked someone to prepare some drinks and food for them, and then asked: "You have stayed in Jinhua City for so long, so you must know the approximate strength of the Feng Army, right?"
Ming Xuan, Du Feng, and Chen Li stayed in Jinhua City for several days, but they have been detained in the barracks for these few days. They are guarded by special personnel and cannot get out at all. Who knows how many people there are in the Feng Army?
However, none of the three people were embarrassed to say it. It was embarrassing enough to be the prisoner of the enemy. If they didn't know anything after asking questions again, wouldn't they be even more embarrassed to see others?
The three of them looked at each other, and Mingxuan was the first to speak: "General Wushuang, the Feng Army has a lot of troops. According to my observation, there must be at least 50,000 to 60,000 people!"
Before Zhan Wushuang could speak, Du Feng immediately shook his head and said: "No, no! I think the Feng Army is no less than one hundred thousand. The Feng Army's camp is set up close to the city wall. In such a large circle, there must be at least one hundred thousand people."
!”
One said 50,000 or 60,000, and the other said more than 100,000. The gap in between was more than double. How could he believe what he was saying? Zhan Wushuang frowned and looked at the three of them, speechless for a long time.
After a long pause, he asked again: "Then where in the city are you being detained?"
"The North Camp of the Feng Army!" The three of them were quite sure this time and answered in unison. "The barracks where we are being held is very close to the North City Wall, less than fifty meters away."
Zhan Wushuang's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic. He leaned forward and asked, "Is Miss Youling also being imprisoned with you?"
"Yes! General Wushuang, Feng Jun did not imprison us separately."
"Oh!" Zhan Wushuang responded slowly, rolling his eyes and thinking for a moment. He immediately asked the three of them to find paper and pen, and asked the three of them to draw the exact location of the barracks where they were detained. After the three of them picked up the pens, you said
, I said something and drew a rough sketch on the paper. Of course, the three of them did not know the specific structure of the city, but they still knew the approximate location of the place where they were imprisoned, so they marked it out.
Taking the sketch drawn by the three people, Zhan Wushuang looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed it to other Ning generals in the Chinese military tent for circulation.
He said: "Tonight, as agreed, I will set up camp and pull out the stronghold and withdraw from Jinguang County. Of course, this is not really to retreat, but to confuse the Feng army. I plan to while our army pulls out the stronghold and retreats,
Send a strange force to sneak into the North City of Jinhua and rescue the four Miss Youling. I wonder which of the generals is willing to take on this important task?"
After he finished asking the question, all the Ning generals in the room looked at each other, but no one stood up to answer.
The small Jinhua City has so many wind troops, perhaps more than 100,000. No matter how lax the precautions are, it will be difficult to successfully rescue people when the enemy troops are so dense.
Life is at stake. No one is afraid of death, and no one is willing to die in vain.
After Zhan Wushuang finished asking, the big tent became unusually quiet. People didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Zhan Wushuang would notice them and assign this task to themselves.
Zhan Wushuang had anticipated the reaction of the generals. Fortunately, he already had a suitable candidate in mind. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Ling Peng. He said slowly
: "I think this matter should be left to General Ling Penngling!"
Phew! Hearing this, Ling Peng almost vomited blood, and in his heart he collectively greeted all eight generations of Zhan Wushuang's ancestors.
Since he joined the army, he has been working under Zhan Wushuang, but Zhan Wushuang has never assigned him any actual duties, nor has he given him a soldier. It has nothing to do with him when he asks for credit from his superiors. It's good now that he has
The mission to commit suicide came to him.
Ling Peng secretly grinned and cursed, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He hurriedly stood up from among the generals, saluted Zhan Wushuang, and said respectfully: "It is really an honor for me that General Wushuang values his subordinates so much.
However, this matter is of great importance, and my subordinates’ abilities are limited, so I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to take on this important task!”
The others didn't say anything. Zhan Wudi opened his eyes first, snorted heavily, and said: "Didn't General Ling always complain that the commander didn't give you something to do? Now that he has done something for you, why are you so picky?
Four? Do you want to disobey the order?"
After hearing this, Ling Peng's knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground, saying repeatedly: "No, no, no! The invincible general has misunderstood. His subordinates have absolutely no intention of disobeying the order. They just feel that they are not capable enough and are afraid of letting the general in the wrong."
Big deal!"
"Haha!" Zhan Wushuang smiled leisurely, waved his hand to stop Zhan Wudi, and said to Ling Peng: "General Ling, get up! I have always valued your ability. This time I sneaked into Jinhua City, and I think no one can compare with it.
You are more suitable. Don't worry, I will arrange for Generals Long Xing and Deng Nan to pick you up outside Beicheng. At that time, you only need to rescue people outside the city, and you don't need to worry about other things. When I come back, I
Consider your great contribution, not only will I ask you for a reward from your Majesty, but I will also entrust the Sangei Corps to your command!"
The promise made by Zhan Wushuang is not ungenerous, but Ling Peng is not a fool. If all his own people are dead, it will be useless even if he gives him a gold mountain! But Zhan Wushuang has already said it to this extent, and he has no intention of refusing.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the order, cupping his hands and saying: "I obey my orders!"
"Okay!" Zhan Wushuang smiled while stroking his palms and said: "As soon as the fourth watch comes, take action on time. In addition, the two generals Long Xing and Deng Nan, each of you, will lead 10,000 elite troops to ambush in the grass outside the North City. Once
If General Ling succeeds, you two will have to stop Feng Jun’s pursuit even if you risk your lives!”
"Yes! General!" Long Xing and Deng Nan are both old subordinates of Zhan Wushuang. They don't talk nonsense like Ling Peng. As long as there is a military order, they don't even hesitate and immediately accept the order.
"Yes!" Zhan Wushuang nodded and waved, "You go back and prepare first!"
"Yes! I am resigning!"
Ling Peng, Long Xing, and Deng Nan agreed, turned around and walked out of the Chinese military tent.
Looking at Ling Peng's leaving figure, the smile on Zhan Wushuang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of contemplation.
