Chapter 36 Self-defeating

The twelfth lunar month is already the day when water turns into ice. The river water has already frozen and the thickness is ripe for vehicles. The beginning of the month is the day when the moon is dark. The campfire on the south bank of the Xishui River is bright and it is not extinguished all night. Several trenches were dug in front of the camp, and the trenches were everywhere.

The trench was inserted into the foot corner, and the suspension bridge was hung high on the moat, and the soldiers patrolling the camp were constantly coming and going, which was very vigilant.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the central commander's tent had gone out, and only the footsteps of the guards broke the silence, "It's on fire..." Suddenly, the fire broke out in the camp, and the soldiers patrolling immediately warned that the most feared fire in the military camp, especially

It is at night, and if it is not done properly, it will cause chaos and lead to the bombing. Now is the windy season, and once it catches fire, it will easily burn the camp.

"What's going on outside?" Hearing the shout, Zhao Qi immediately put on his clothes and lit the candle and asked loudly.

"Report to the prince, there is a fire in the camp and is fighting it!" Wangfu, who was on the verge of night, immediately came into the tent and reported.

"Where is the fire?" Zhao asked while putting on his boots.

"Prince, several places in the camp are in the fire, and they are investigating!" Wang Fu replied.

"Several fires?" Zhao Qi suddenly became suspicious after hearing this. The camp strictly controls fire use. Those who use fire without authorization will be beheaded. If it may be a friend to catch a fire in one place, it is reasonable to say that a groom accidentally had an accident.

It would be strange if there were several fires.

"Yes, Prince, see that the fire is not only the back camp, but also the front camp is also in flames!" Wang Fu looked at the prince with a question mark and added.

"No, the enemy is going to attack the camp..." Zhao Qi stood up and said.

"What..." Wang Fu was about to open his mouth and asked, but the prince suddenly turned sideways and pulled away the pistol he hung around his waist. He shot two times at the top of the tent, waved his hand to extinguish the candle on the table and fanned the candles on the table.

Fu rolled under the bed. Before he could stop, more than ten feather arrows shot through the tent.

Zhao Qiong's actions from shooting to dodging were as fast as lightning. It was as if he had undergone a rehearsal in advance, and Wangfu also reacted at this time. He used his body to block the prince outside to protect the prince, and there were also numbers outside the tent.

The sound of gunshots and weapons colliding.

"Second Master, Second Master..." The door was knocked open, and the tent was illuminated by torches. Jian Xi shouted with crying sounds. The sound of a large group of people coming from outside, and the sound of gunfire was even more

It is dense, mixed with the sound of a shotgun.

"The prince is here!" Wang Fu saw clearly before answering.

"Second Master is okay..." Seeing Xi rushed over like crazy and lifted the camp bed, he said as he looked up and down.

"I'm fine, stop howling. I'm going to call Gao Chong and Xiao Yu to see me immediately, and the whole army will prepare for war!" Zhao Qi pushed away Jianxi, who was covered in tears and shouted.

"Ah... Go quickly, haven't you heard the prince?" Jianxi woke up. The prince was still lying on the ground. He helped the prince up and shouted at Shang Hu who was following him. Although everyone was confused, I don't know

Why did the prince struggle to prepare for the entire army because of several assassins, but he still faithfully executed the order?

Hearing that the prince was assassinated, Gao Chong and Xiao Yu rushed over immediately, and saw that the central army's tent was surrounded by the soldiers of the Guard Brigade. There were also a group of people firing guns everywhere and running back and forth, as if they were

The search for assassin was a bit short of what he saw. But now he didn't have to think too much about it, and the two quickly walked into the tent.

"Prince, aren't you hurt?" After entering the tent, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the prince sitting there happily. They stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "You two immediately set up three thousand men and horses and quietly left the camp. They lie on the left and right wings respectively, and immediately fight out after receiving the signal!"

"Yes. Are the Jin army going to attack the camp?" Gao Chong asked.

"If I had a good reputation, the Jin army would arrive soon!" Zhao Qiong nodded and said.

"Prince, my subordinates have just passed by the camp where the fire broke out, but they just demolished the surrounding camp tents but did not put out the fire. They said it was the prince's order. Why is this?" After receiving the order, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and still said it

My own doubts.

"Why are you so stupid? You really shouldn't let you come back. People are stunned!" Zhao Qi glared at Xiao Yu and said, "We will put out the fire in a while. The Jin army knew that we were prepared and would still

Come? If he doesn't come, I'm going to scare them in vain!"

"Oh... I understand. The people from the Guard Brigade are also acting, right?" Xiao Yu said suddenly.

"It's good to know. You must go out of the camp quietly. There may be Jin soldiers who sneak in the village, so they can't find it!" Zhao Qi reminded again with concern. The two nodded and took the order.

"Report to the prince, the camp was cleaned up and eight assassins were killed. Two of them committed suicide and had no living habits. From the costume, they all looked like Jurchens. We had two inner guards assassinated by them. Three of the guards were sacrificed and five were injured.

It is because of his subordinates’ dereliction of duty, so please punish him!" Zhao Zhong came in and said.

"Only top experts can do this, you can't blame you!" Zhao Qiong said with a gloomy face, not all his inner guards came from.

Some of them were recruited and trained by Xiaoyao, the first sword in Xixia, who was recruited and trained in the back of the road. They usually sneaked in the dark to protect themselves and specifically deal with those tourists from the world, but they did not guard against the assassins, which shows that the Jurchens were

The people sent out are all elites, and they really put money on themselves.

"Prince, so many of us and the inner guard masters did not find the assassin, how did you notice it?" At this time, Wangfu expressed his doubts. So many people did not find it, but the prince discovered and shot him to death.

The most threatening assassin.

"It's very simple!" Zhao Xiao said with a smile, "The assassin thought he was lurking on the top of the tent and no one could find it, but he just forgot his shadow. The people outside could not see him, but the people inside were

You can see it, and you have to say that you have to thank his companions who set fire, otherwise I might have been plotted against him!"

"Did the prince also conclude that the Jin army was going to attack the camp because of the assassin's appearance?" Zhao Zhong also asked.

"No, the military has always been strict in using fire. One fire may be an accident, but several fires at the same time should be thought about. They did this to cause chaos and take advantage of the fire to rob, but they did not expect that they would backfire and instead exposed.

My own attempt, so I concluded that the Jin army would arrive!" Zhao Qiong said.

Zhao Qi just finished speaking, and the army came to report the assembly, and the front camp sounded the alarm bell. Thousands of Jin troops secretly smuggled through the water to launch an attack on the Song army camp. They filled some of them with earth bags on the trench.

A path split the corner of the foot, came to grab the gate of the village, and fought fiercely with the Song army who were patrolling the night. The prepared troops immediately climbed the wall of the village as planned, and fired thousands of crossbows everywhere, shooting at the gold that they were determined to win.
