Chapter 294 Raid

Luoyi.

The midnight wind blew outside the tent, and a whistling sound could be heard faintly.

There was a map on the table, and two generals of the Qin Army were studying the situation at the moment.

Compared with the conflict between the Qin army and the Han army, the battle between Luo Wang and the Mohist family was more lively.

In the buffer zone between the two armies, in the middle of the long and narrow river valley, many battles have taken place in recent days.

The Qin Army's scouts once went to investigate, and the intensity of the struggle between the two sides far exceeded that of ordinary Jianghu sects. Their elites were even superior to the scout troops of other countries.

But the past few days have suddenly become calm, the net has been removed, and the disciples of the Mohist family have disappeared. This inexplicable strangeness made the two Qin army generals feel anxious.

"Not sleeping late at night, Prime Minister Lu really promoted two good talents."

The sudden sound shocked the two generals, and a young man appeared in front of them. As for him, the two of them had met in Xiangbang's mansion.

One Qin general was about to pull out his sword, but was held down by another.

"Your Majesty!"

Xuanjian followed Zhao Shuang and took out what Lu Buwei had given him - the military talisman.

When the two Qin army generals saw this, they immediately knelt down.

"Get up!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, walked to the table, and looked down:

There are several points marked on the map. Follow the thick lines and look up. Behind Luoyi, there is a military stronghold.

"Is General Ji in this camp?"

"Yes, there are three thousand soldiers inside, all of them are the private soldiers of Marquis Changxin. In addition, there are also a large number of Luowang assassins, the number is unknown."

"Give me a thousand troops. They will all wear plain uniforms, without military insignia, and do not wear marked weapons or armor. Remember, do it in secret."

The two Qin army generals looked at it and hesitated, but they could not go against it.

"promise!"

"Is one hour enough?"

Zhao Shuang turned to look at them and spoke softly, but with a sense of power.

It is not easy to gather troops in an hour - even if it is only a thousand - it is quite a test of the quality of the army.

"Can!"

Finally, the two generals walked out of the tent and went to assemble their troops.

Zhao Shuang leaned on the edge of the table and Xuan Jian asked.

"A thousand troops, is that enough?"

"General Ji's soldiers and horses are all private soldiers from Lao'ai who came from Taiyuan. They have just been stationed and are in the rear. They are lax in their will. The place where they set up their stronghold is beside the official road, with access in all directions and no danger. A thousand soldiers and horses are enough. ”

"But, will Luo Wang place an informant in Lu Buwei's military camp?"

Xuanjian knew Luo Wang's style of doing things very well, and Lao Ai would definitely set up spies among the Qin troops ahead. If anything happened, he would know immediately.

"I only gave them an hour and deployed manpower around them. The military liaison pigeon snare cannot be used, and once any sentinels go out, they will be captured immediately!"

Zhao Shuang patted Xuanjian's shoulder, stood up and relaxed his muscles.

A big war is coming, it has been a long time, and he no longer has this sense of urgency.

Late at night, in General Ji's main tent, Lao Ai sat with her eyes closed.

After breaking away from the Mohist forces on the front line, Luo Wang was already in a rather embarrassing situation.

In order to deal with Zhao Shuang, we must first remove the Mohist forces and uproot the Mohist stronghold in Sanchuan.

For this reason, it is crucial to find the Mohist stronghold. But now, after the snare receded, a layer of 'fog' reappeared in front of Lao Ai, and the situation that had gradually become clear before became confusing again.

Zhao Shuang stood in front of him and started a fight. But Lao Ai suddenly discovered that he had no way to deal with the Mo family and complete the regicide plan at the lowest cost.

General Jie walked in and Lao Ai opened her eyes.

"Have you finished your inspection?"

"There is nothing unusual around the military camp."

Lao Ai nodded. When leading troops outside, he must be extremely cautious. They are guest troops. Although they are stationed on Qin's land and in the rear, the danger still exists.

"Is there any news from the troops ahead?"

The general looked at Lao Ai, who looked a little haggard, and felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we have many informants in Lu Buwei's army. If anything happens, the sentries will arrive in half an hour."

Lao Ai stood up and sighed.

"Sometimes, friendly forces are scarier than enemies."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I have set up a sentry post in front of the military camp. I will be in charge personally and there will be no mistakes."

The night was getting dark, and Zhao Shuang looked at the military camp ahead, lit by night fire.

A group of patrolling soldiers had just passed by the road in front of them, and their footprints were left on the soil, which was full of holes.

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and marched for two hours. In two hours, it would be daybreak.

The private soldiers under Lu Buwei's command were indeed elite. Even after consuming a lot of physical strength, they still maintained considerable military quality.

"Xuanjian, they have arranged three groups of patrolling sentries outside the military stronghold. We must deal with them first before we can approach the military stronghold. You only have a moment to deal with them all. I will give you twenty soldiers, enough What?"

"enough!"

"After one moment, the ambush army will move forward five hundred steps - and after another moment, a hundred-man team will rush into the outpost in front - after occupying the outpost, we have two moments to complete the assault."

This thousand troops came lightly equipped and were inferior to Lao Ai's three thousand troops in terms of equipment. Only by relying on surprise attacks could they establish an advantage.

During these nearly four moments, maintaining sufficient secrecy was the key to a successful raid.

Fortunately, Lao Ai's military stronghold was not difficult. The only threat was the outpost.

"Prepare!"

General Ji left the main tent of the Chinese army and returned to the outpost.

This post is the eyes and ears of the camp. It is built on a place that must pass through. If something happens, it can provide early warning to the rear.

However, unlike the main camp at the rear, there were more assassins in the camp than Qin soldiers. In fact, Luo Wen's assassins took on the role of scouts after they retreated from the front lines.

"How long have the Sentinels been patrolling?"

The general was more cautious than Lao Ai expected, so he asked as soon as he returned to the post.

"It's been almost a moment."

The assassin in Luowang looked at the engraved oval and counted the time. The training within Luowen is quite cruel and well-organized, with no room for error.

"After all, this is not our territory. The situation is complicated. Brothers, please be careful. The three teams of patrolling sentries will come back and take over immediately."

"promise!"

General Jie sat on the chair with his eyes closed. The high intensity of tension in the past few days made even a first-rate master feel a little tired.

However, this fatigue did not make him lose his sense of vigilance.

One tick, the water flow had reached the prescribed time, but General Jie did not hear the sound of horse hooves.

He opened his eyes and called out. No one outside the tent responded, and it seemed very quiet.

The general picked up his sword, and the assassins in the tent were also alert. They picked up their weapons and quietly walked towards the tent door.

Sweat streamed down his forehead, blurring his vision. In a short period of time, General Jie felt unprecedented pressure.

A strong wind blew and the tent door was opened.

In the general's field of vision, he saw a man standing at the door holding two swords.

The scene flashed by and he had disappeared, almost like an hallucination. But then, there were bursts of wailing in General Jie's ears.

The moment he pulled out the sword, there was no other life in the tent, and only the man holding the two swords was left standing in the dark corner like a god of death.

"Xuanjian!"

There was a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, and the general shouted in agreement, and then he only saw his headless body still standing there, with blood flowing.
