The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Tong sent an order to reward the three armies and give them winter clothes. However, the enemy was facing a strict ban on alcohol. Although no one was killed yesterday, it still caused a strong shock in the Shaanxi army, and everyone became more honest from top to bottom.

.Zhao Tong knew that with his current ability and status, he could not interfere too much in the affairs of the Shaanxi military. That was Tong Guan's taboo.

The land was also his bargaining capital in the court. If he dared to stretch out his hand at this time, he would have to provoke this guy to chop off his hand, so he could only stop in moderation. As long as the Shaanxi army temporarily obeyed his orders, he would wait until he captured these people in Lingzhou.

They will definitely be recalled by Tong Guan soon. The Sixteen States of Youyun are calling them to fight, and Fang La is still waiting for them to attack!

There is no moon on a full-moon night, and there is only the falling autumn rain outside. Zhao Tao's residence is of course the most luxurious building in Dongguan Town. I don't know if it is the villa of a big boss in Xixia. It is a courtyard and pavilion that imitates the nobles of the Song Dynasty.

There were so many pavilions that Zhao Tong couldn't help but feel like he was going home. His moon-viewing dinner was just like that.

It was placed on the highest attic in the garden. The only people accompanying him at this time were Jian Xi and Zhao Xin, the two closest people, plus the young lady from the Zhe family who was 'sold' to him by her family. They were all pitiful people.

, everyone is very nervous these days, Zhao Tong asked others to relax, who doesn’t want to relax during the big holiday...

The rainy night in the northwest during the Mid-Autumn Festival was already very cold. Fire pots were lit at the four corners of the room, adding a touch of warmth to the cold rainy night. Four kinds of seasonal fruits and seven or eight kinds of dishes were placed on the long table, but there was no moon in the sky.

Without wine, the banquet seemed a bit boring. Everyone chatted for a while and told a few small jokes in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere, but several people seemed to be preoccupied, which made his efforts fail.

Zhao Tong stood up and walked to the window, opened the attic window, and the cold wind blew in with icy raindrops, making his heart jump a few times. Through the continuous rain and fog, he could see Xia Jun on the other side of the Yellow River.

Camp. "Zhao Xin, why are there so many lights on the other side tonight?" Xia Jun used to light bonfires and lanterns around the camp every night. But tonight there was something strange, he turned around and asked.

"Second Master, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and maybe Xia Jun is also celebrating it!" Zhao Xin picked up a pomegranate and said while peeling it.

"No. The lights on the other side are arranged in a regular manner. Bring the telescope!" Zhao Tong did not agree with his reason and looked at it for a while and said.

"Miss Zhe, you have dealt with Xia Jun a lot, can you understand what they mean?" Zhao Tong took a telescope and observed carefully for a moment. He pointed at the swaying lights on the other side and asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand, but it seems to be a signal to command the mobilization of the army!" Zhe Meiluan looked at the lights on the other side that were constantly changing colors and said uncertainly.

"Light language!" Zhao Tong and Zhao Xin exclaimed at the same time. At this time, the troops relied on flags during the day and lights at night. They also had their own set of light languages, and they immediately thought of it.

"What does Xia Jun want to do? Do you want to cross the Yellow River at night..." Zhao Tong thought. But he didn't know why the night that brought him to this world suddenly flashed in his mind. And the first reaction of his body was to get out of the way.

Close the window and reach out to touch the **** on your waist...

'Bang' Zhao Tong's gun rang out, a black figure fell down from the tree, and at the same time an arrow broke through the window. It was so dangerous, the arrow was coming towards his throat. If he was hit by this arrow,

I don’t know which era I’ve been sent to again. Of course, it’s best to go back to my previous life.

"There is an assassin..." When he saw an arrow shot from the window, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice. He was also used to being frightened like the prince, so he knew how to deal with it and quickly blew out the lights in the room. Xin Zhao

He immediately drew out his gun and rushed to the prince's side. Zhe Meiluan was also unambiguous. Although he only had a short sword, he still held it in his hand and stared out the window.

"Everyone here is a master!" Zhao Tong slightly stuck his head out and looked out the window. He saw more than a dozen black figures jumping out of the darkness and rushing toward the attic where they were. Obviously, the sneak attack could not succeed, so they immediately began to attack. From then on.

There are at least five sentries from the inner courtyard to the attic where Zhao Tong is, and there are patrol teams constantly patrolling the road. They were able to quietly escape the strict security and reach the core area. They are by no means simple people.

Hearing the sound of gunshots, guards from all over the place rushed over quickly. Wangfu and four other personal guards who were guarding downstairs had already rushed upstairs to protect the prince. The guards in the courtyard had already made contact with the assassin.

The sounds of fire, gunshots and the clash of swords filled the surrounding courtyards.

Fires broke out in several places. Zhao Tong's guards are all stationed in Dongguan Town. Only the inner guard squadron is in the inner courtyard. The other four squadrons are in the outer courtyard. There are only a dozen people on duty in the attic. Although the others

Reinforcements came quickly, but water from afar could not quench our thirst nearby.

"Be careful, there's someone on the roof!" Before Zhao Tong could finish his words, Wangfu and others raised their guns at the same time and fired a shot at the roof. There was a loud crash, and two dead bodies mixed with broken tiles rolled down from the roof and fell into the courtyard.

middle.

Seeing many guards rushing towards the courtyard, the assassins immediately concluded that the person living here must be an important person. They left a few people to fight with the guards to restrain them. The rest rushed towards the attic, and the two assassins rushed towards the courtyard.

Go downstairs, jump high, and there are others

The two people quickly stepped forward and raised their hands to support their feet and pushed them upward. They used their strength to grab the window edge. The person below immediately held the knife in his mouth, climbed up their bodies, and jumped into the window in an instant, "Whoosh"

Whoosh...' Several crossbow arrows were released.

"Protect the prince!" Zhao Xin whispered, and everyone gathered around to protect the prince. However, Zhao Tong didn't care so much. He just raised his hand and shot. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he was afraid of a kitchen knife, let alone a gun. The gun sprayed from the muzzle.

The fire instantly illuminated the dark room. Wangfu and others used the firelight to see clearly where the assassins were, and they immediately opened fire. They were equipped with shotguns and swept away the area. Several assassins were killed before they could stand firm.

It became a hornet's nest.

"Xin Zhao, Jian Xi, you stay behind and organize people to eliminate the assassins; Wang Fu, call the guards and we will go to the city immediately!" Zhao Tong was already uneasy, and the commander's residence was attacked by assassins again, which made him more sure that this night would not be peaceful.

.

"Second Master, it's dangerous outside!" Xin Zhao grabbed the prince and said anxiously.

"Xia Jun may make a big move tonight. I'm really worried. If I'm not careful, my whole army will be wiped out. These assassins can't do anything to me, so I'll leave it to you!" Zhao Tong turned around and went downstairs.

All the guards have arrived to search for the assassin and control him.

Zhao Xin knew the prince's temper and had no choice but to put a large cloak on him to protect him from the rain. He also ordered Li Shuo's squadron to accompany him on guard, and then ordered people to put out the fire.

Clean up the scene and search for the assassin.

After the expansion of Dongguan Town, the North City was only a hundred steps away from the ferry. The river could be controlled with artillery fire and the ships sailing on the river could be sunk. The tiger generals and an artillery team led by Zhongyongjun Zhao Zhong were stationed here.

The strength of the guards reached 6,000, which shows that Zhao Tong attaches great importance to this place.

Zhao Tong climbed to the top of the city and looked towards the direction of the Yellow River, but except for the sound of the rushing water, the looming lights on the opposite side and the vast rain and fog, nothing could be seen on the dark surface of the river, "Your Majesty, there was an assassin entering the house just now, how are you?

?" Just now, a fire broke out in the prince's camp, and gunshots were fired everywhere. Zhao Zhong ordered the whole city to observe martial law and blocked all intersections. However, when he got news that the prince was in the North City, he hurried over.

"I'm fine! Zhao Zhong, the lights on the other side of the river are abnormal, and my camp was attacked. It can't be a coincidence. I'm worried that Xia Jun will take advantage of the dark night and wind and rain to cross the river, but it's too dark on the river and I can't see anything clearly. Life

The artillery battalion fired flares towards the river!" Zhao Tong said while looking at the river.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhong immediately sent an order for the artillery battalion to fire. However, due to the wind and rain, in order to prevent the gunpowder from getting damp, the artillery had to cover the ground, and the reloading speed was much slower. However, the illumination bombs fired one after another by the mortar still continued to fire.

Sections of the river were illuminated.

"There are Xia troops on the river!" The sentry on the watchtower quickly discovered the abnormality and shouted a warning.

Zhao Zhong hurriedly ordered that flares be fired densely at the river where Xia Jun was discovered. The river was brightly illuminated, and the upper reaches of the ferry were seen densely packed with rafts, which were rowing down the river towards the ferry. When they saw the Song Jun discovered them, they immediately

He paddled hard and increased his speed.

"Your Majesty, it's the Huntuo Army of the Xia Army!" Zhao Tong was wondering how the Xia Army in the interior dared to cross the Yellow River on a stormy night, when Zhe Meiluan, who was following him, suddenly said.

"Huntuo Army?!" Zhao Tao was even more surprised. Why did the Xia Army have such a branch? He had never heard of it and had never seen it in history.

"Your Majesty, the Huntuo Army is the water army of the Xia Army. They are proficient in water, but they don't have the huge ships of our dynasty. They all use 'Huntuo' instead of ships, so they are called the Huntuo Army..." Zhemei Luan saw.

The prince was puzzled and hurriedly explained.

Listening to Zhe Meiluan's explanation, Zhao Tao gradually understood that "Huntuo" is a tool for swimming. When the party members slaughtered the sheep, they did not disembowel them, but took out the bones, flesh and internal organs from the neck, leaving an intact sheep.

Then soak the sheepskin in nitrate water for three days, take it out after you can smell the smell, dry it for one day, remove the wool, rinse it clean, and then

The limbs are tied tightly with hemp rope, half a kilogram of green salt is poured into the mouth of the neck, then a kilogram of water is poured in and half a kilogram of sesame oil is poured in, and finally the neck is tied and exposed to the hot sun for five days. When the skin turns reddish brown, untie it.

There is a hemp rope on one limb, and several people stick out their buttocks and take turns blowing air into it. After blowing, they tie it tightly with the hemp rope, and then a complete sheep Huntuo is created.

The bigger one is the cow Huntuo. The method of making it is basically the same, except that you don’t need to blow air, but just fill it with hay. The sailors will hold the sheep Huntuo under their armpits, or lie on the cowhundo.

If you put it on and paddle hard with your hands, you can swim across the river and attack the enemy. If you tie many cattle and sheep together, and tie wooden poles to them, it will become a raft.
