Anti-Qing and Fuming: Beginning with Summoning the Fire Phoenix

Chapter 21 Night Attack

Shen San boarded the tower, holding a package in his hand.The whole person was out of breath.

"Uncle Shen, why are you here?" Shen Xuan stood up and stepped forward.

"This old man is here to present His Royal Highness the battle robe."

After Shen San finished speaking, he opened the package, and a fiery red battle robe trimmed with gold silk was revealed: "If King Ming puts it on, he will be victorious in every battle."

Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, people say auspicious words before a battle to win a good fortune.

"Uncle Shen, I will."

Shen San nodded, and put on Shen Xuan's war robe and tied his neckband.Just ready to turn around and leave.

"Uncle Shen, I'm going out with all the troops tonight, and the city is empty. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of it. You arrange people to pay attention to the movement."

"Yes! I will arrange people to patrol through the night."

Shen San, who has been with the Shen family since he was a child, has not yet married a wife.

There are already some hunchbacked figures.Shen Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, as long as he can walk step by step, he will be able to enjoy his old age comfortably in the future.

"Xu Sanduo called King Ming, and Xu Sanduo called King Ming."

"Got it. Please tell me."

"We were about 10 kilometers away from the city, on the bank of a large house with a wide area, and found a boat on the Lishui River staying during the day."

"it is good!"

"Ming Wang. I have seen clearly that the house number of this place says Lishui Station." Chengcai's voice followed closely.

"keep an eye on!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xuan pressed the intercom: "Yuan Lang, gather all the team members and meet at the north gate."

"Yes! King Ming."

A team of thousands of people is like a long dragon passing through the East Street and the intersection.

Finally, it merged into a torrent and gathered at the North City Gate.

The continuous torches, like a flickering light belt passing through the city, cut through the night.

Finally, they gathered into a ball, which was dazzling.

On the street, countless men, women and children walked slowly with the team, hoping to see their relatives from the team.

There were weeping and shouting.

There is also the sound of parting.

Shen Xuan is riding on a horse, wearing a red war robe, showing the demeanor of a king.

Looking under the torch, the excited faces were full of youthful blood.

I also saw women with children on the street, or old people with crutches. Some of them were secretly wiping their tears, and some were sobbing.

Although this is a small-scale battle with more fights.

But in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the provinces have been in peace for a long time, and they are located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there has been no war for more than a hundred years.

Of course, this does not mean that you really live and work in peace and contentment.On the contrary, many of them are in a situation where they have no food or clothing.

The main reason is the oppression of corrupt officials.After three years of clearing the magistrate, millions of snowflakes and silver.It's not an exaggerated description in the book.

Otherwise, there would not have been thousands of young and strong men gathered at the Ming Palace to voluntarily cut their hair to join the Ming army as soon as they rebelled.

Shen Xuan can understand this kind of mood, especially for the locals who were born and bred, and their family and friends are all together.

Once a war is launched, it will cause casualties.

Although he (she) didn't know whether the battle tonight would be tragic, no one came out to call for their children, husbands, or fathers and brothers to leave and go home.

From the stalls into the mu, the consumption and envy returned to the public, and later the raising of honest money.

Officials and dignitaries are extravagant and try their best to squeeze their energy, which makes the people overwhelmed.

The Eight Banners Qinggou is even more ingenious, planting and framing.

In a word, a bad idea that ordinary people can see through can make people bankrupt and ruin their families.

Oppressed enough, seeing a bright light in the dark night, for even a glimmer of residual or illusory hope, they will risk their lives.

In order to be able to live a good life, the family can have a full meal.

All kinds of people are a true portrayal of the changes of each era.

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "Yuan Lang, is everyone here?"

"Report! There should have been 380 people, but 290 people have actually arrived. Excluding the 80 people who were not in the process of returning to the city, there are still 15 people who have not yet arrived."

Yuan Lang replied with a salute.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

"Report to His Royal Highness King Ming. Team One Two, Xu Dawa, Xu Xiaohei, return to the team."

"Report to King Ming. Team 98, Lin Erdan, Li Cai, Yang Xiandong, Zhu Hong, and Lin Guoan have returned to the team."

"What's your situation?"

"What time is it, why are you here now?"

98. The acting captain of the [-]th Squad ran out of the team with a spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Father and mother know that we are going to fight tonight, so they will not let us come. They are afraid that we will die in battle."

Having said that, the two brothers were so wronged that they couldn't help crying bitterly.

"How many of you?" The captain of Team 98 asked coldly.

"It's the same at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after this trip."

Several young people also lowered their heads and sobbed.

"Shut up, this is not the reason for your late arrival, drag on."

Boom!Boom!Boom, boom!Boom...

The seven of them kneeled fiercely in front of Shen Xuan: "King Ming, I didn't mean to be late on purpose, please forgive me Your Highness. Let's go to battle and kill the enemy!"

A group of people had already rushed up and wanted to escort a few people away.

"Your Highness King Ming, please do me a favor. Now the family has no rice and has a lot of debts. If we don't join the army, our family will not be able to survive!"

Shen Xuan felt a little sad, waved his hand, signaled the crowd to return to the team, and said loudly:
"I can understand your parents' feelings. It's human nature. However, this is the army, and what is required is the order and prohibition. I will forgive you for the first time tonight. But only this time. Anyone who violates the law will be dismissed in the future!" "

dong dong dong...

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ming."

"When I come back tonight, there are some people who can't eat at home. You can pay the salary, rice and grain in advance. Follow me and Shen Xun, and I will never let you and your family starve to death on the street."

"Long live King Ming, long live King Ming!"

At this moment, both the soldiers and the people shouted in unison.

A tsunami-like sound shook the whole field.

Shen Xuan raised his hand, and the voice stopped abruptly: "Yuan Lang, the Fang Fang team left three people to guard the city gate."

"Yes!"

"All squad members of the Ming Armed Forces. After leaving the city, don't make a sound, talk. Do you hear clearly?"

"Yes!"

"Now, put out the torch in your hand and leave the city!"

Guards, open the city gate.

Squeak!

The gates open.

Shen Xuan stepped out of the door first.Yuan Lang led Shi Jin and rode at the end of the team with a gun.

Due to this age, most people are malnourished.Many people suffer from night blindness due to lack of vitamin A.

It is obviously impossible to rush.It is also easy to cause stampede accidents.

Coupled with a group of untrained people, they can't run fast.

Ten kilometers, or twenty miles, is not far away.

Adults can walk five kilometers in an hour, and when Shen Xun prepares the team to walk for nearly 100 minutes, they will rest in place.

Eat a rice ball with you to replenish your energy.

These were arranged by Yuan Lang when he was in the barracks.

Lishui City.

Inside an inn.

A few spies from Blooddrop were holding candles, carefully looking at the map of the city in the form of a turtle on the table.

"Tonight, the rebel Shen Xuan led his troops out of the city from the north gate, presumably to attack the Lishui Road post station. The city must be empty. After the hour is over, we will set fire along the street to create chaos. Posting a rebellion against the party, the law of heaven will not tolerate it Slogan. Make him lose popular support. When he returns, Lishui will be half in ruins, and the rebels will be defeated without attack.”

"My lord's plan is very good, but it's a pity that I don't have enough manpower, otherwise I will take the opportunity to seize the city gate after setting fire to it. At that time, I will cooperate with General Songchun, and Shen Xuan will definitely be executed."

"I really didn't expect this Shen Xuan to act so boldly. He dared to dispatch all the troops without staying behind. At such an age, he dared to put all his eggs in one basket. This kind of courage is rare in ancient and modern times."

"So, if this person is not eliminated, it will definitely become a serious problem for my Qing court."

"I think the best place to set fire is in a bustling downtown..."

"Who?"

The man stepped forward and quickly opened the door.A dagger in his sleeve fell into his hand.

"Master, I'm the shop's waiter. It's midnight. I see that the candles in your room are still on. The sky is dry and everything is dry. I'm afraid there will be water, so I'm going to remind you."

"Oh, I'm just getting ready for bed."

"Well, then I won't bother you."

The waiter just turned around.

The man stretched out his big hand and covered the waiter's mouth from behind, stabbing one after another with the cold dagger in his hand.

Finally drag it into the room.

Then another person walked out and looked around, and then closed the door.Blow out the candle.

After a while, the door of a guest room opposite was quietly opened.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy tiptoed out of the room.

He secretly said in his heart: "Ming Wang Shen Xuan is as old as me, and he used to go to a private school together. Nowadays, everyone worships him as a god, even if I can't become that kind of person, at least I have to make a career, so that my father will not always look down on me. I."
