Chapter 35 (2/2)

……

As the sun sets, night falls quietly. Deep in the sea, the ship slowly approaches the coast. Soon, a few small boats are put down from the ship, and dozens of dark shadows quickly descend onto the ship and drive towards the shore.

Not far ahead is the famous Liaohe River mouth. Liaohe River and Sancha River converge here and enter the sea together. Not far north, the Niangniang palace is the bridgehead for the later Jin army to look at Liaoxi.

In the dusk of night, Li Yuanqing was attached to the boat, dressed in bright silver armour, holding the Qianzong saber sent by Miss Qu's family. He was watching carefully the movement on the East Bank of the river.

Next to him, shunzi, armed with a steel knife and wearing armor, was closely guarding Li Yuanqing. Behind him, there were two soldiers.

On another boat not far from the next door, Shang Laoliu was also in the same uniform, followed by three soldiers.

Not far to the side, there are several small boats, which are Chen Zhong and his soldiers.

After all, Li Yuanqing had only eight people. He landed rashly, but he was still a bit insecure. Mao Wenlong asked Chen Zhong to join him. In this way, the number of the two teams together has exceeded 20, and he has a greater assurance that he should face an accident on the shore.

Soon, several small boats had arrived at the shore. Li Yuanqing took the lead in jumping off the boat and came to the shore to command his soldiers to land. Chen Zhong was also the same.

Although there was no sea control power in the later Jin Dynasty, the old slaves were not stupid. Although there was no large army stationed in strategic areas like liaohekou, there were several watchtowers equipped with fast horses, similar to post stations, but they were military posts. If there was any movement on the other side of the River, Shenyang City could receive news in the shortest time.

At this time, the two small teams had all landed. Chen Zhong quickly came to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice: ”Yuanqing, there are only two watchtowers here. The number of people should not be more than 10. You and I are one left, one right, one person. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, ”elder brother Chen, this is just what I want. However, Tartars may have fast horses. We must not let one escape. ”

Don't worry, Chen Zhong. My knife has been sharpened for a long time. ”

Two watchtowers, one on the left and one on the right, are in the crucial position of the estuary, with excellent vision.

However, the sky is beautiful tonight, the sea rose a layer of light fog, visibility also reduced a lot.

There is a light on the watchtower, so you can see farther. But because of the fog, it forms ”black under the lamp”. On the contrary, it is the light that makes Li Yuanqing and others in the dark get closer to the watchtower.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong moved almost at the same time. The watchtower on Chen Zhong's side was a little closer, while that of Li Yuanqing was a little farther away.

In order to prevent the Tartars on the watchtower from escaping, Chen Zhong didn't do it first. Instead, he waited for Li Yuanqing to arrive at the predetermined position and started together.

Soon, Li Yuanqing had led Shang Laoliu, shunzi and five soldiers to the watchtower.

Not far north of the watchtower is the Houjin army's camp, which is about a few hundred square meters. It is surrounded by simple wooden fences. The stables occupy most of the space of the camp.

The camp was only about the size of a small post station. At this time, the night was dark and there were no lights in the camp. Except for the night watchmen on the watchtower, the rest of the people should have gone to sleep.

The successive victories of the latter Jin army against the Ming army greatly increased the arrogance of the latter Jin army. Although it was only a river away from the area controlled by the Ming army, the soldiers of the latter Jin army did not believe that the Ming army had the courage to sneak in. At most, they sent some scouts here to spy on the news.

Seeing that, Li Yuanqing winked at the sixth merchant and motioned that he would take two people up and solve the problem of the watchtower first.

With the help of a steel knife in his mouth, Shang Laoliu quickly climbed up the watchtower like an ape. Two soldiers followed him.

After more than a month's practice, the five soldiers under Li Yuanqing's command have also made great progress. Although they have never been to the battlefield, they have carried out the orders in place.

Not far from the next door, Chen Zhong saw that Li Yuanqing had already seen a figure climbing up the watchtower.

Soon, he only heard a dull hum above his head. Shang Laoliu made a gesture to Li Yuanqing below, indicating that it had been solved.

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed. After all, Shang Laoliu was much more stable in handling affairs. Otherwise, Li Yuanqing would have to do it himself.

Shang Laoliu quickly climbed down with two soldiers and whispered to Li Yuanqing: ”Yuanqing, you can start on the camp.”

Li Yuanqing looks at the watchtower not far away, and Chen Zhong should be successful. His eyes exude a cruel look. ”Brother Shang, you and I should control the stable first. Wait for Chen Zhong to come over, and then do it inside. ””Yes.”

Soon, people on both sides had already surrounded the two sides of the stable. At this time, the dog barked suddenly from the camp yard.

Li Yuanqing's face does not change greatly. If these animals wake up the people inside, it will not be beautiful.

Shang Laoliu was also a little flustered, especially a few new recruits who had not seen the battle and were confused and had to step back.

At the critical moment, Li Yuanqing became more and more calm. He had already heard clearly that there were not many dogs in it. They should be two. He winked at shunzi and said in a low voice, ”shunzi, follow me. Go and solve the two animals inside first.”

Killing shunzi is inexperienced, but killing dogs, especially when he has been alone in Shenyang City for more than a month, has no obstacles at all for him.

”Brother, you wait here. It's just two animals. I can solve it myself.”

”Don't talk nonsense, one for each person, and use the fastest speed. Come on Said, Li Yuanqing waist knife hand, has stridden into the yard.

Shunzi quickly followed behind.
