With a pop, the tea bowl held by Wang Juntou tilted, the tea was poured into the charcoal brazier, and a thick smoke suddenly rose.
There were coughs and curses in the room.
"Old Ding, can you stop being so stingy and get some good charcoal to entertain the brothers?"
Ding Dashan also coughed twice and waved his hands to disperse the smoke.
"If I hadn't entertained you, the fire wouldn't even have been lit." He said angrily.
Because of this episode, the solemnity in the room was somewhat disturbed, the windows were opened, the fireworks dispersed, and then closed again.
"Let's talk about it." Wang Juntou poured another bowl of tea and sat down and said, "What should we do about this matter?"
Some people in the room coughed and some sniffed.
"It's hard to do." Someone said, "There's nothing we can do about it. There's such a disparity in strength. No matter how powerful they are, they opened the city gate and we fought against so many golden soldiers. How can this... be possible?"
But this time, after he finished speaking, there was no immediate echo.
The people sitting in the room looked complicated and thoughtful.
"There are so many of us. If we call Mao Laoqi, Sun Deli, Dong Yuan and others, we can gather more than two thousand people." Ding Dashan said suddenly, "It's another night raid. Laojiu also said that the gold thieves are actually strong on the outside, but strong on the inside. Maybe..."
Wang Juntou looked at him and frowned.
"Old Ding, don't be carried away by your military exploits," he said.
These few words touched everyone's mind and made everyone in the room look different again.
Yes, what the leader of the woodcutter Lao Jiu said earlier, although it sounds feasible, is still a bit childish and risky, but the last sentence is very real.
Military merit.
If you have military merit, you can be promoted and make a fortune; if you have military merit, your family can be honored even if you die.
As a military general, the fastest and easiest way to get promoted is through military merit.
Compared with military exploits, taking risks doesn't seem to be a big deal.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger.
The identity of the woodcutter was special, and the words were vaguely "gonggong", which meant that they were indeed sent by gonggong cheng. As for why they were able to obey gonggong cheng, there was probably some kind of deal.
Although Duke Cheng Guo couldn't come, he actually still missed this place in his heart, so he made this arrangement.
The woodcutter's fierceness was suitable for this kind of fast attack and fierce fighting, and he had to hide his identity so that local officers and soldiers like them could be in front without disturbing the rules of the army.
This arrangement is so thoughtful.
"Mr. Cheng Guo is really thinking very hard." Ding Dashan sighed with red eyes, "Mr. Cheng is concerned about the entire Northland and has not given up on small matters like ours for the sake of the overall situation."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked at everyone in the room.
"Lao Jiu is right, reinforcements, they are reinforcements, orders, orders from Duke Cheng."
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment.
"Done." A military leader suddenly smashed the bowl in his hand on the ground and said, "I can't live in such a frustrating life anymore."
Another military leader followed suit and threw the tea bowl.
"Yes, as long as they can open the city gate, I will fight with the gold thieves." He said.
Ding Dashan uttered two busy aahs.
"Don't throw my bowl." He said, "There are not many good bowls left."
Wang Juntou also stood up and threw the bowl on the ground.
"Ding Dashan, there are many expensive dishes and bowls in the kitchen behind the Yamen of Kaide Mansion." He said, "If we can capture Kaide Mansion tomorrow night, you can take those bowls and dishes away for you, and we promise to pretend not to see them."
Ding Dashan's eyes lit up.
"Old Wang, then it's settled," he said.
This was a double entendre, and everyone present knew what it was about.
At that moment, the remaining two people also smashed their bowls on the ground.
"It's settled." They also said loudly, "It's just a few plates and bowls, you can take them all."
After saying this, everyone in the room looked at each other and started laughing.
"Now go and convince those three boys." Wang Juntou said with a facelift.
"It's easy to convince those three. Those guys are the most greedy for military glory." Ding Dashan said, his eyes sparkling, and he rubbed his big hands, "If it works this time, then we will have made a great contribution, and we will be famous."
Maybe it will leave a lasting legacy."
Writing a note in the history books is what many scholars dream of.
The eyes of everyone present were shining. Standing in a room with almost no charcoal fire in the middle of winter, they were sweating.
"This is a great opportunity." They all murmured.
…………………………………………..
The cold wind howled in the winter night, and the fire placed in front of the city gate of Kaidefu was blown so hard that it almost went out.
The four gates of Kaide Prefecture are equipped with such large braziers. They were not originally there, but they were installed in the past few days. It is obviously to prevent people from approaching the city at night.
But tonight the north wind blows wildly, and some places become dim and bright, which makes it less clear for the guards at the city gate to survey the outside of the city gate.
There were bursts of rustling sounds, and there seemed to be a surge of people in the dark night. The strong wind swept across the wilderness, and strange sounds were heard, covering up the sound of marching footsteps.
"The moon is dark and the night kills people, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fire." Ding Dashan whispered, looking at the looming city in front of him, "Today is perfect for a night attack. Do you think Lao Jiu chose today as a coincidence or because he knew the celestial phenomena in advance?"
A woodcutter also knows the celestial phenomena.
Wang Jun rolled his eyes, but it was a pity that no one saw him in the dead of night.
And Zhuge Liang reincarnated and called for wind and rain.
"Don't worry about whether it's a coincidence or a celestial phenomenon." He whispered, "Let's see if they can open the city gate smoothly."
After he said that, he looked back.
"It seems Mao Laoqi is unwilling to come."
Together they went to persuade the other three military leaders of the fort, but two agreed, and one did not give a clear answer, saying that he would consider it.
"It's ridiculous to think about it in such a short period of time. It's clear that I don't dare to come." Ding Dashan spat.
"If you don't come, don't come." Wang Juntou said, looking at the front and clenching the weapon in his hand, "Maybe we are here in vain."
If the woodcutter couldn't get into Kaide Mansion, or failed to open the city gate after entering, then they would have no choice.
If you can't get in, you can't save him, so you can only turn around and run away.
"Wait a minute." Ding Dashan also clenched the weapon in his hand and murmured in a low voice.
……………………………..
When you have something on your mind, waiting can be very torturous.
Lying on the frozen ground, Ding Dashan and the others felt chilled by the cold wind, which made Ding Dashan feel a little dazed.
He suddenly wondered if he was dreaming.
This thing is too ridiculous.
"Old Wang, pinch me..." He couldn't help turning his head and said with clenched teeth.
Before he finished speaking, Lao Wang beside him jumped up.
"Fire!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice trembling, not sure whether it was from the cold or excitement.
On fire?
Ding Dashan looked around, and sure enough he saw thick smoke rising in the night ahead accompanied by firelight, and at the same time, the noise was also blown away by the wind.
They went in! They set fire to two military camps!
Ding Dashan tensed up and clashed his teeth, making a rattling sound.
"The city gate is open."
In the blink of an eye, the sentry in front came with the news.
So fast! So fierce!
Ding Dashan felt numb all over his body, it was obviously cold to the bone, and he was breaking out in hot sweat.
Kill! He jumped up and shouted.
Before the voice came out, shouts of death were heard from the other side, and countless torches were lit at the same time.
This, who is this?
Ding Dashan and others looked at him in astonishment, then stared.
"Mao Laoqi!" he shouted, and immediately became angry, "This shameless thing came here without making any noise, and he still wants to take credit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Juntou had already rushed out with his knife raised.
"Kill the enemy!" he hissed.
A group of soldiers followed and rushed toward Fucheng, shouting.
Ding Dashan was almost knocked unconscious.
"Damn it," he shouted, "Everyone of them was careful and careful, as if they were forced into the bridal chamber by me. Now that they have seen the merit, they all run faster than rabbits."
Although the words were cursed, there was a smile in his voice.
"Young boys, here's your chance for revenge!"
He roared and everyone rushed forward, followed closely behind him was the soldier named Ma Du, his thin figure holding a spear, his eyes shining brightly, and he stabbed straight into the city like a sharp arrow.
It’s time to take revenge, take revenge, take revenge from your parents.
Late at night in winter, the fire was raging and the shouts of killing stirred half of the sky. (To be continued)
