"Old Zheng, this is not a time to act voluntarily. It is related to the overall situation of my loyal and brave army. You have to have that, the overall view. Marquis, do you think so?" Cheng Zhenbei felt that his group was the best at fighting, so of course he should go up and chew on this hard bone.

"My third regiment is not a vegetarian, so night battles are no problem. Marquis, the third regiment has been stationed here for a long time and has a better understanding of the terrain and climate. It is the best choice for this battle." Zheng Tu refused to let him go, stayed in this mountain valley for so long, and waited for this day.

Moreover, after careful investigation with the special forces camp, he had prepared a safe combat strategy, so how could he make a wedding dress for Lao Cheng?

"Zheng Tu, are you sure?" Sun Yu originally belonged to Lao Cheng's group, but now Zheng Tu is eager to try, and his generals are watching here. This is the site of the third regiment, and it cannot ruin people's hearts. Those who are superior must master the way of balance.

"Don't worry, Marquis, I promise to complete the task. If something goes wrong, I will come to see you." Zheng Tu knelt on one knee and asked for orders directly.

"Okay, I will leave this battle to your third regiment in Jiudutan, and I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

"Everyone, drink this cup full, and I hope that this battle will be successful." Sun Yu took a long breath and raised his glass to invite the generals to drink together.

......

The final strategy of this battle was decided by Sun Yu personally leading the cavalry to Yongtai County, with the four, five and seventy three regiments along with him, plus the third regiment originally stationed in Yongtai County, as well as most of the baggage regiment soldiers, with a total strength of more than 25,000.

On the side of Putian County, the sixth regiment stationed and the first regiment in Chengzhenbei had a total of more than 10,000 troops, mainly Chengzhenbei and Deng Qin as the auxiliary. Once the third regiment took over Jiudutan, they would immediately send troops to Fuqing County to hold back the opponent's troops and reduce the pressure on Sun Yu's main force.

On October 13th, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the cloudless is gone. It is a good day for a night attack. At the moment of Xu, Zheng Tu personally led a thousand elite troops to march east on a raft.

Originally, Sun Yu was planning to allocate another thousand elite troops, but Zheng Tu refused. The fortress was built on streams, and there was not enough space at all. With too many people, it could not be used.

The thousand elite soldiers brought by Zheng Tu had simulated battles before. Everyone was wearing armor, carrying crossbows, and long swords were hung on their waists. Ladders were also prepared on the raft, and they had to rely on these to climb the fortress later.

The guard of Jiudutan was a minor general of the Zhangwu Army, named Zhu Jiuan. He has followed Qian Renjun for many years and is quite trustworthy. Although he does not have much military talent, he is steady and never greedy for merit and advances. It is most suitable to guard this place.

Zhu Jiuan's eyelids have been pounding violently recently. He was still worried in the middle of the night. He took his personal soldiers to inspect and whip the two lazy and dozing two people before returning to their residence.

"Lao Liu, why are you so careless? I'm not reminding you." The guard Lao Ding cursed with a smile. He just saw someone coming, so he kicked Lao Liu. Who knew that this kid was sleeping so well that he didn't wake up and was whipped in vain.

"Oh, bad luck. I went out for fun during the day and didn't sleep well." Lao Liu didn't care. Two whips are nothing. After so many years, I have become an old fried dough stick.

"Stand up quickly, don't suffer again later." Seeing Lao Liu lying down again, Lao Ding shook his head. The arrow tower in this corner was on duty tonight, so Lao Liu was too unreliable.

"I'm so afraid that I'm just going to stay here every night, it's nothing." Lao Liu doesn't care. It's better to sleep if he's working here every night.

Two reed poles slowly moved on the stream, and they were invisible on the fortress. When the reed poles reached the bottom of the fortress, two black shadows emerged from the water and slowly climbed up along the wooden stakes of the fortress.

Lao Liu's snoring was too loud. Lao Ding, who was originally in good spirits, seemed to have been infected. He couldn't hold on for a while, so he put the spear aside and sat down while yawning.

Suddenly a rope flashed past and directly strangled Lao Ding's neck. No matter how hard he used his hands, he could not break free and could not make any sound.

Lao Ding's face turned red. He let go of his right hand, grabbed the spear placed aside, and pounded at Lao Liu next to him. He was sleeping so hard that he was almost dead.

He didn't even react after pounding for a few times. Lao Ding felt that he was about to die. He didn't care about so much and stabbed Lao Liu hard.

The clear feel of the hand told Lao Ding that the spear had penetrated Lao Liu's body, but Lao Liu still had no movement. Lao Ding couldn't even figure out how Lao Liu could sleep so hard.

Lao Ding had a bad look and couldn't see clearly Lao Liu lying on the ground. There was also a rope around his neck, which was even more important than his.

The two of them changed into Lao Ding and Lao Liu's clothes and slowly put their bodies down with ropes. Before they could tell, people were replaced on the arrow tower. In the dark night, there were dark shadows in groups of three or three, climbing up the ropes.

Under the night, Zheng Tu looked at the familiar scenery flashing on both sides and estimated the remaining distance.

"Transfer the order and lower your body."

As he was about to enter the last turn, he could see the Jiudutan Fortress when he turned around. Zheng Tu immediately ordered. After lying down, he could shorten the time for the opponent to discover and effectively reduce the attack. After a moment, the entire team turned into black shadows on the water.

"Captain, look, what is that?" A soldier pointed to the water at the Jiudutan Fortress.

"What? I can't see clearly." The captain raised his eyes and looked into the distance, not real.

"It seems like a bamboo platoon." The soldiers were not sure.

"Follow it up." The captain didn't dare to be careless. If it was a diabolic platoon, it would be fine. Once there was someone, he had to prepare to attack immediately.

On the fortress, in the corner where the guards were invisible, a torch slowly drew circles one after another.

Zheng Tu on the raft saw this scene and felt very calm. It was a signal of his agreement with the special camp. After a while, he took the main force to climb from there. Before the other party reacted, he would kill him, and then the big thing would be expected.

"Dang!" Zheng Tu roared. If he didn't change the direction artificially, he would either hit a hidden stake or flow directly into the Minjiang River.

On top of all the bamboo trays, soldiers stood up one after another, supported the bottom with bamboo poles, changed direction, and leaned towards the fortress.

"Captain, there is an enemy." The guard who had been staring at him suddenly saw a figure on the bamboo platoon, and immediately reacted and shouted with his throat.

The originally slack fortress was suddenly silly. The guards held a torch and rushed through it. The military camps behind the fortress were also busy one after another.

"Everyone hurry up, go up!"

"Cater, smash it to me."

Zhu Jiuan, who had just fallen asleep, woke up immediately when he heard the movement, rushed out of the tent with a knife, and commanded loudly in the camp.

On the fortress, the powerful crossbow first launched an attack. Although he couldn't see the other party clearly, he just pulled the trigger to the place where the figure flashed.

After the bamboo tray was docked, everyone worked together to raise the bamboo tray directly and instantly set up a long ladder under the fortress.

"Hu~Hu~Hu~Hu~" A whistling sound, dozens of huge rocks crossed the fortress and smashed into the stream in front of them. Two bamboo rows that could not be avoided fell apart under the huge rocks.

More than a dozen soldiers of the loyal and brave soldiers fell into the water, and the soldiers on the bamboo roulettes around them stretched out bamboo poles to rescue them. The night was too dark, and with armor, several soldiers sank into the stream and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry up, climb up!" Zheng Tu saw it, but could not stop at all. If he stopped salvage for these soldiers, it would be the kindness of the woman, and more brothers would be here to kill him.

On the fortress, huge wooden rocks rolled in, and mixed with crossbows and arrows, the casualties of the loyal and brave army began to expand.

"Cover the crossbow!" Zheng Tu shook his head. It would be impossible to be beaten passively, and he had to make the other party mess.

The defenders on the city were busy, suddenly discovered that crossbow arrows flew everywhere, and they lost their lives if they were not careful. They all began to lower their waists and protect themselves first. The arrows shot from the darkness were too caught off guard and no one wanted to die in vain.

"Old Ding, Lao Liu, don't worry, we'll support you." More than a dozen Zhangwu army guards were jogging here, holding torches.

Pretending to be Lao Ding and Lao Liu, two special camp soldiers, looked at each other, gestured toward the darkness, pulled out their waist knife, and made a gesture of fighting against the loyal and brave soldiers who had climbed up for a while.

"Hurry up, smash it down quickly." A leader who came up slapped the fake Lao Ding's head, occupying such a good location, and waiting for the other party to climb up and fight in close combat, I don't know what he thought.

"Puff~" The fake Lao Ding turned around and stabbed him directly into pieces with a long sword. The one who pretended to be Lao Liu was not idle either, and killed one with one knife.

With such a big noise, the soldiers who came with him were stunned and immediately reacted.

"Brother, there are spies, kill them."

They pulled out their long swords and prepared to kill the two of them.

A black cloth in the corner behind everyone slid down, revealing three men dressed in tight black clothes. Three long swords flashed by, each taking away a living life.

The opponent's five people were dealt with in an instant, and the next were five special camp soldiers. They fought against less than ten Zhangwu soldiers. Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they defeated the opponent with their superb personal martial arts.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the soldiers of the Zhangwu Army beside him. Now the competition is speed. If the soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army climb up first, they can occupy this place, and the soldiers behind them are coming continuously. If the Zhangwu Army arrives first and kills the five special camps, there will be no chance here.

"Swoosh~swoosh~"

Just as the five people in the special camp were exhausted, two loyal and brave scouts climbed up first, took out the powerful crossbow on their backs, and shot out two crossbow arrows at the guard who was still resisting.

"Choke~" After shooting, he didn't have time to reinstall the crossbow arrow, so he directly pulled out his long sword and joined the battle group.

"Hu~Hu~" The soldiers of the special camp all gasped loudly, and they had to waste their power and finally solved the guards.
Chapter completed!
