Episode 10 Chapter 400

The next day, at midnight, TXT was downloaded in the Red Dragon Mandala.

Now that it was the time agreed by Xiao Muqing, Peng Cheng quietly came to the back of the mansion with a group of confidants.

The temporary county capital where he currently lives was built against Chilong Mountain. There is only a walkway less than two meters wide between them. It can be said that as long as you come down from Chilong Mountain, you can enter his house immediately.

Peng Cheng stood in the backyard and looked up. There was no light on the dark cliff. After waiting for a long time, he anxiously asked his confidants: "What time is it now?"

"Replying to your lord, it's almost two quarters of an hour after Haishi." A subordinate replied in a low voice.

"Why haven't you seen Feng Jun's signal yet?" Peng Cheng muttered, turned to look at Tan Liu, and asked in a deep voice: "Tan Liu, you didn't remember wrong, did you? It must be Haishi?"

"Sir, it is absolutely correct. It was said by Xiao Muqing, the commander-in-chief of the Feng Army, at Haishi tonight."

"What about them? It's past Haishi, why haven't we seen Feng Jun yet?"

"This..." Tan Liu couldn't explain why Feng Jun didn't show up as promised. He was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped it randomly and stammered: "Maybe... maybe Feng Jun changed his mind temporarily... …”

"How could Feng Jun change his plan at the last minute for such a big matter?" Peng Cheng's heart was burning, and he reprimanded angrily: "Useless thing, none of the things I tell you can be done well."

Tan Liu was so scolded that he couldn't even lift his head. He asked cautiously: "Then... Sir, do we... still... continue to wait?"

"What are you waiting for?" Peng Cheng said angrily: "Hai Shi has been so long, and even Feng Jun can't be seen. I guess Feng Jun won't come again tonight." As he spoke, he shook his robe. Xiu, with an angry look on his face, turned around and went back to his bedroom.

Everyone else looked at each other, and finally shook their heads in unison, and whispered: "Everyone should leave first!"

Not long after, only Tan Liu was left in the huge backyard.

Until this moment, he still had a face full of reluctance. He raised his eyes and looked up the mountain. While looking, he furrowed his brows and muttered to himself: "That's right! The time Xiao Muqing agreed on yesterday is indeed tonight at Haishi. Why? No one is coming!”

He couldn't figure out what accident happened in the middle. After standing in the courtyard for a long time, he sighed and walked away.

The situation on their side was clearly seen by the spies with eyes in the dark. The Sky Eye spy was actually very close to them, hiding on a ten-meter-high cliff. However, he was wearing dark green clothing, and even his face and hands were painted dark green. He was sticking to the cliff, and he really looked like a cliff. Part of it, even if you walk closer and take a look, you may not be able to find it, not to mention it is still dark late at night.

Watching everyone in the courtyard leave, the spy with the Sky Eye, who seemed to be integrated with the cliff, slowly climbed towards the entrance of the cave on the mountainside.

The entrance of the cave is not big, and it is surrounded by grass and vines, which completely blocks the entrance. Because of this, the existence of this cave has not been noticed by anyone.

The spy with the Sky Eye moved quickly, holding the fire folder, and quickly passed through the cave to the exit on the other side. Then he descended the rope and quickly descended the mountain with the help of the rope.

When he reached the bottom of the mountain, he took out the fire rope again, burned the rope, and made sure that no traces were left before returning to the Fengjun camp.

After the Sky Eye spy saw Xiao Muqing, he told him everything about the situation in the county capital. Xiao Muqing nodded while listening. After the spy with the eyes of the sky finished speaking, he asked anxiously: "Is there really no ambush at the foot of the mountain?"

"No! The villain saw it very clearly. Except for the dozen or so people waiting for our signal in the courtyard, there were no other soldiers." The spy with the eye of the sky said with certainty.

It seems that Tan Liu did not lie, and Peng Cheng did intend to surrender. After confirming this, Xiao Muqing was completely relieved. He rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said to the Sky Eye spy: "Brother, if you bother, go back again and find a way to sneak into the county capital and meet Peng Cheng." , told him that tonight's appointment was due to internal changes in our army, so we were unable to keep the appointment. Tomorrow night, we will attack the city at night. During the attack, our army will use secret passages to sneak into the city secretly. , let him respond well, the time is still Haishi."

The spy's face straightened, he stepped in and saluted, "General, don't worry, I will definitely get things done!"

Xiao Muqing still has great confidence in the people of Tianyan. They are all elite people carefully selected by Lotte.

He stood up and said: "This trip is dangerous. Brothers, you must be more careful. It is better not to see Peng Cheng than to alert the snake and arouse the suspicion of Mo Jun in the city."

"I understand!" The spy with the Sky Eye bowed and said, "General, I take my leave!"

The spy with the Sky Eye said goodbye to Xiao Muqing, and then returned the same way. With the help of the cave, he sneaked into the Red Dragon Mandala again without anyone noticing.

As long as you can enter the city, it is not difficult to enter this temporary county capital. The defense here is very loose. Adding together the front and back, there are no more than fifty soldiers keeping watch at night.

It's not that there are insufficient troops in the city, Peng Cheng has transferred all his guards to defend the city, but that Wei Bo has not given him military power at all. Now Peng Cheng's military and political power has been emptied, and he only has the title of county chief. Forget it, the person who really controls the real power is already Uncle Wei.

Peng Cheng knew like a mirror in his heart that as long as this war was over, he would definitely be the unlucky person next. With Wei Bo's character, he would never let go of his collusion with Feng Ren. He would definitely file a complaint in front of the king. Not only was he dead, but the lives of his entire family were probably also in danger.

It was precisely because he saw through the stakes that he decided to take a risk. Even if he was charged with killing Lu She, he still took the risk and sent people to communicate with Feng Jun to gamble on his luck. Maybe he could find a way for himself. Way to survive.

Peng Cheng has been the head of Sishui County for a long time. A few years ago, by chance, he learned from a medicine farmer that there was a cave on Chilong Mountain that ran through the mountainside. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now , but this piece of information became his magic weapon to save his life.

This is the whole story of how Tan Liu came to Fengying to meet Xiao Muqing secretly.

Leaving aside how the Sky Eye spies found Peng Cheng in the county capital and how they negotiated with him, the next day, early in the morning, Xiao Muqing took several generals and a group of guards to ride fast horses to the Jade Army. camp.

After hearing the news that Xiao Muqing, the commander-in-chief of the Pingyuan Army, came to pay a personal visit, the commander-in-chief of the Jade Army, General Bailitu, led many jade generals out of the camp to greet him. After the meeting, the two parties inevitably exchanged polite greetings, and then Baili Tu let Xiao Muqing and others into the Chinese military tent.

The two sides sat down separately, and Xiao Muqing said straight to the point: "Today, our army plans to attack the Red Dragon Altar. I wonder if it will be convenient for Brother Yujun?"

"Oh! Brother Xiao, to tell you the truth, I have been impatient for a long time." Baili Tu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for Brother Xiao's words for many days. In fact, Brother Xiao only needs to send an envoy. Just come and let me know, why bother going there in person?”

"It's a matter of great importance, so I should come in person. What's more, Brother Baili is the host and I am the guest. It would be too rude to send only one envoy to inform you about joining forces to go to war. Moreover, the envoy may not be able to explain some things. clear!"

"Haha, Brother Xiao is so polite." Unexpectedly, Xiao Muqing, the famous coach of the Pingyuan Army, was so polite and courteous, and Baili Tu found it useful. He leaned forward and asked, "How did Brother Xiao arrange it?"

"During the day, you and our soldiers will have a good meal, sleep and rest, and recuperate their energy. At night, our two armies will launch a strong attack on the Red Dragon Altar!"

"Brother Xiao, are you going to attack at night?" Bailitu asked in surprise.

"That's right! Attacking the city at night will cause many inconveniences, but our army is well prepared, while Mo's army is negligent in taking precautions. Perhaps a night attack can have a surprising and miraculous effect!" Xiao Muqing said confidently.

Baili Tu slowly frowned. Attacking the city at night would be very disadvantageous to the attackers. Attacking the city was already very difficult. With the soldiers holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, it would be even more difficult. If they didn't Huge advantage, no chance of success at all, why did Xiao Muqing suddenly come up with such a bad idea.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Muqing knew that he didn't agree with his night attack tactics. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Baili, don't worry, I am very confident about this battle, and our army also has a secret weapon. It will definitely display unexpected power in battle!”

ah? Hearing this, the eyes of the Jade Kingdom generals present brightened up, and expressions of confusion and curiosity appeared on their faces unconsciously. Bailitu asked with great interest: "What secret weapon?"

He had long heard that the Ordnance Department of the Feng Kingdom was particularly powerful, with all kinds of strange weapons emerging in an endless stream. Could it be that the Ordnance Department of the Feng Kingdom had secretly developed some unknown weapon?

Xiao Muqing looked up and smiled and said, "Well, let's keep it a secret for now. Brother Baili will know when the battle starts tonight."

He refused to tell, so Baili Tu stopped asking, but he felt relieved. As long as Feng Jun had a weapon to break the city, what did he have to fear? When the time comes, just follow Feng Jun and fight.

He said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Xiao, we have made an agreement. Tonight, you and I will attack the Red Dragon Altar at night!"

"Okay! Let's meet in front of the Red Dragon Mandala tonight!"

"See you in front of the city!"

Xiao Muqing and Baili Tu made an agreement to join forces at night to attack the Red Dragon Altar. To make a long story short, at night, all members of the Pingyuan Army left the camp and divided into two groups, heading all the way down the Red Dragon Mountain and in front of the Red Dragon Mandala.

The two armies each numbered 50,000 people. The soldiers going to Chilong Mountain were led by Chen Fang, the deputy commander of the Pingyuan Army, and the soldiers going to the city were personally led by Xiao Muqing. .
