Chapter 67 067 [Hundred riders are not ashamed to be the best in the world]

Late at night, Jingjun camp.

The damage caused by the fire was more serious than Lu Chen and Duan Zuozhang had expected.

Compared with the soldiers who died on the spot, the living people suffered more.

Burns and scalds are very difficult injuries in this era. Although the accompanying military doctors prepared a large amount of wound medicine, there was no ointment to treat these two injuries.

It was summer now, and the temperature was already on the high side. Those injured who were affected by the strange fire could not receive timely treatment at all, and could only endure the heartbreaking pain.

Qin Chun knew that the impact of this incident was very bad, so he issued a military order before the battle, ordering Sangmai to take the wounded to the rear of the camp and set up another place for treatment.

Although these people did not return to the camp, and it would not have a too bad impact on the surface, there were too many Jingjun soldiers who witnessed the tragic scene. After discovering that the wounded had been moved away in advance, there was a dull and depressing atmosphere. spread throughout the camp.

The candlelight was brightly lit in the Chinese army's command tent, and Qin Chun issued tough orders to the generals, asking them to change the mental state of their subordinates as soon as possible.

For this reason, he revised his previous promise: as long as Guangling City is conquered, all soldiers can have fun and take revenge in the city before receiving new orders from above. On the one hand, this will boost morale, and on the other hand, it will destroy the enemy. In the name of revenge for his comrades.

But at least tonight, Jingjun camp is still in an uneasy state.

In the misty night, time passed bit by bit.

Near the north gate of Guangling City, five hundred warriors stood in awe.

They all put on the light armor prepared in the Guangling Army's arsenal, and their weapons were different. Some used their favorite weapons, while others chose their favorite swords and guns from the arsenal.

Even though he still couldn't cleanse himself of the rough aura, he still seemed to be somewhat elite.

These people were very enthusiastic about Lu Chen's recruitment. One was naturally because of the current atmosphere in the city, and the other was because their respective family heads were very generous this time and had long promised generous rewards.

Lu Chen walked among them and said in a calm and forceful tone: "Although I have repeatedly asked for your thoughts before, I still want to ask, is there anyone who doesn't want to go? Don't worry about the consequences. If you don't want to go, just stay. Don't You will regret it when you are facing the enemy. Tonight I will take you out of the city to attack the camp. This is a mission of a lifetime, and escaping from the battle is equivalent to violating military law during war. Not only will you be in trouble, but your family members will also be implicated."

Everyone uniformly replied in a low voice: "No!"

Lu Chen said as he walked: "Okay. If we can successfully break the camp tonight, everyone will be rewarded with silver, and there will be compensation for the casualties. For those who have not come back, Master Zhan and General Duan will personally give the silver to your families."

Outside the queue, the prefect Zhan Hui and the deputy commander Duan Zuozhang stood side by side. After hearing the words, they took over the conversation and said: "What Lu Ganban said is true, you heroes can rest assured."

Everyone's solemn faces were a little more excited.

Lu Chen added: "In addition to the silver reward, if you win this battle, it will be recorded in the military merit book. Those who bravely fight first will be rewarded by the court just like the soldiers who defended the city during the day."

After all, he is not a professional soldier who follows orders and prohibitions. He cannot enforce strict rules. Even if someone takes the initiative to respond: "Master Lu, we will fight to the death!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Get ready to go!"

Zhan Hui looked at the young man walking towards him and hesitated several times.

He knew how much Lu Tong valued his only son, but the current situation in Guangling was difficult and no one could be alone. If he insisted not to let Lu Chen lead the attack on the camp because of his personal relationship, then why would anyone else do such a dangerous thing?

Which one is light and which one is heavy is not difficult to distinguish.

But when it came to parting, Zhan Hui couldn't help but sigh: "Try to be more careful."

Lu Chen saluted and said, "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

Duan Zuozhang, who was standing next to him, reminded him sternly: "According to the situation, don't be reluctant to fight."

Lu Chen responded: "Yes."

Then he said goodbye.

The two of them looked at his back, and Duan Zuozhang suddenly said: "Master Fu, do you know who I am thinking of now?"

Zhan Hui asked: "Who?"

Duan Zuozhang lowered his voice and said with a complicated expression: "Yang Guangyuan, Marshal Yang."

Zhan Hui was startled and said slowly: "Why did the general say this?"

Duan Zuozhang said softly: "General Yang's first battle in the mountains was to lead thousands of cavalry to gallop on a starry night, raid the Jinglian cavalry station, gallop through enemies several times his own, and kill the second uncle of the current Jing Emperor with one blow. The Yuanjia Incident, The country's dignitaries rushed south in a hurry, if Marshal Yang hadn't... how could the Jinghe defense line be in vain."

By the end of the words, there was already a sense of sadness and indignation.

The full cooperation during this period has made the two of them very close, but they really didn't have much friendship in the past. Duan Zuozhang's words naturally seemed to be close to each other, which also surprised Zhan Hui. The deputy commander did not look like a rude and arrogant person. temper.

Duan Zuozhang had come to his senses at this moment, and there was no pretense, and he said calmly: "Duan was so angry at that moment that the prince of the palace laughed."

Zhan Hui sighed lightly: "I feel what the general said, but Marshal Yang's case is related to the dignity of the Tian family. It is better not to mention it in front of outsiders in the future." Duan Zuozhang cupped his fists and saluted, and then said: "Thank you, Master, for the heads up. .”

"Don't dare."

Zhan Hui returned the gift.

At this moment, the north gate had been opened, and five hundred riders slowly entered the interior of the barbican city.

Lu Chen took the lead. On the left was Lin Xi, who was holding a short sword hanging from his waist and holding a machete. On the right was Li Chengen, who was carrying a long spear. Lu Chen originally thought that his usual weapon was a knife, but tonight I found out that he only carried it out of convenience. Knife, his master passed down a set of extremely domineering marksmanship.

Behind them are nearly a hundred masters, mainly from the Lu Family Nursing Institute. These people have entered the stage of turning Qi into energy, and they can be called real warriors in the world.The next three hundred or so people are basically in the Qi training stage, that is, Lu Chen's state before he studied the Xuan Xuan Sutra. They are not as good as first-class masters and are more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.

In fact, Lu Chen had some reservations about what he said at noon yesterday. Of course, he would not just take these 500 people for a tour outside the city.

The gate on the side of the urn city slowly opened, and more than ten figures walked out, while the five hundred riders continued to wait.

Those people were green forest experts brought by Lin Xi. They were the first to deal with the outposts placed by Jing Jun on the outside. They were led by Xi Jun, who was experienced and had outstanding vision.

In addition to the [-] soldiers outside the city, Jing's army also had thousands of auxiliary soldiers responsible for food, grass and logistics, and set up camp southwest of Guangling City.

Subsequent reinforcements and supplies are still coming to Guangling via the Wangmei Ancient Road and are expected to take six or seven days. However, the supplies carried by this Jing army can last at least half a month, so Qin Chun is not in a hurry.

Due to time constraints and limited conditions, Jingjun's camp was not solid enough, but it did not lack the necessary arrangements.

The battalion is divided into seven parts, with 4000 people in the central army forming a large battalion, 3000 people each in the front, rear, left and right armies, and 500 people each in the east and west light cavalry.

This information has already been detected by the Guangling Army Sentinel Cavalry, and Lu Chen also knows it very well. Of course, he will not just want to attack the camp at night on a whim. He has already conducted deductions in advance based on the information he has as much as possible.

In the deep night, Lu Chen clenched the long knife in his hand and gradually adjusted his breathing.

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at him quietly.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said softly: "Senior sister, you don't seem nervous at all."

Lin Xi said: "I have been fighting with people since I was twelve or thirteen years old, so I am used to fighting. But you can be so calm, which is unexpected. After all, you were just a rich man before, so you shouldn't always have your head in your belt." experience.”

Lu Chen thought for a while and said calmly: "That day in the Yamen of the Sutra Weaving Department, I personally killed a craftsman from the Procuratorate. I didn't react too violently at that time, maybe because I have a slow nature."

Lin Xi naturally wouldn't believe this answer, but there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure returned to Wengcheng and came to Lu Chen, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Lu, Brother Xi has already taken care of the outlying sentries. We can go straight to the enemy's western camp."

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, and then glanced at Li Chengen next to him.

The order was passed down by word of mouth and soon reached the ears of 500 people.

The Wengcheng gate was fully opened, Lu Chen took the lead, followed closely by Lin Xi and Li Chengen.

Five hundred horsemen, wrapped in armor and carrying helmets, rode at night.

Between the heaven and the earth, there was a silence.

Exit from the north gate and walk northwest around the city. After passing through the undulating gentle slopes outside the city, you quietly approach Jingjun's West Camp. Lin Xi's men are leading you along the way. Jingjun's secret sentries have been quietly heard along the way. Kill.

At that time, it was just past the second quarter of Yinshi.

When he was about a hundred feet away from the opponent's camp, Lu Chen raised his left arm, and the people behind him followed suit, and the five hundred riders gradually began to speed up.

When they arrived at the edge of the village, all the men brought by Xi Jun suddenly used all their strength to pull off the antlers, and everyone marched straight into the camp with four horses abreast!

The wind whipped up and roared.

"kill!"

Jing Jun's sentry looked at the Qi Jun cavalry who suddenly appeared outside the camp, and his eyes suddenly filled with panic. Without thinking, he yelled with all his strength: "Enemy attack!"

However it was too late.

Lin Xi held a machete in his hand and rushed towards him in the blink of an eye. When the sword fell from his hand, it was a head.

On the other side, Li Chengen swung his spear and actually thrust a Jingjun into the air, then forcedly led him a few steps before drawing out his spear.

Lu Chen pursed his lips tightly, galloped his horse, and slashed down with a long knife from the side of his body, slashing a Jingjun from the cheek to the ribs.

Five hundred horsemen passed by like a strong wind, killing everyone they saw. Suddenly, there was a wave of shouts, and Jingjun's western camp was in chaos!
