The sky is gloomy tonight, which is a good cover for the [-] Rouran army who came to make a surprise attack, but because the light is too dark, it is also very unfavorable for marching. In order not to get lost, Morton asked the people who came to support Seisaku led the way ahead, and still kept the only torch.

Baolin Beacon is the closest beacon to Jinling Camp, just twelve miles north of Jinling Camp.

The last guard post is about to change, and it won’t be long before dawn. Ma Gandang, who was standing guard outside, yawned. He turned around and walked back. Just as he turned his head, he saw a little fire in front of him. , He immediately stopped and shouted to his companion: "Brother, don't sleep, wake up, someone is coming ahead!"

The companion who was dozing off while leaning on the spear opened his eyes and drove forward, wondering: "Is it dawn soon? Who is coming from the north at this time? Don't be afraid, go and wake up the corporal leader!"

"it is good!"

The corporal leader quickly rushed over from the cave on the mountainside with two other soldiers, "What's going on?"

"Captain, someone is here! I think it's strange that someone is here at this time, so I asked Ma Gandang to call you over. Didn't you say two days ago that there was an order from above to let us be more vigilant? So I... ··”

"Okay, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. It's right to be vigilant. Get your bows and arrows ready. If anyone comes to break through the barrier by force, shoot them to death!"

"Don't worry, Chief!"

A knight held a torch and quickly came to the bottom of the beacon. The corporal raised his hand and waved it down. Several arrows shot out and hit the ground in front of the knight with two swishes, forcing the opponent to stop. The corporal roared again: "Come on!" Who is it?"

The knight holding the torch was forced to stop, and some Rouran people nearby sneaked over from both sides of the beacon with their swords under the cover of night.

"Don't shoot the arrows. I'm from the front checkpoint. I have an urgent military situation to report to the Jinling camp. I also ask the brothers above to let me go quickly. I can't bear the responsibility for being late!"

The corporal frowned after hearing this, and it was impossible to report the emergency military situation so slowly, and since the supply battalion took over the guard and patrol, Zhao Junsheng changed some of the original rules, in order to prevent Rouran from raiding and infiltration, the military situation The transmission cannot be sent directly to the Jinling camp by the checkpoint where the enemy's situation is first discovered, but one by one, one station to one station, so that it can not only prevent the enemy from raiding and infiltrating, but also improve the quality of life. The speed of transmission of military information.

This person is a little suspicious, the corporal commander whispered to Ma Gandang: "Go to the beacon tower quickly, if you find the sound of fighting here, light the beacon fire immediately!"

"Yes, Corporal!" Ma Gandang turned around and ran towards the beacon tower.

Seeing that Ma Gandang had left, the Wu Chief yelled at the knights below: "Put your badge in the basket next to it, and if there is no problem after inspection, it will naturally be given to you."

You let go!If you dare to act rashly, you will be shot as a hedgehog! "

"Damn it, what is this called? I have to check the badge when I report the military situation!" The knight under the beacon complained, then tore off the badge from his waist and threw it into the basket next to him.

A rope was tied to the basket, and the corporal raised his hand, and a soldier pulled the basket up.

The corporal took the waist badge from the basket and lit it with a torch, looked at the waist badge, and asked below: "Which battalion are you from? Who are your tooth masters?"

The knight reacted quickly, and after a little hesitation, he replied: "The third battalion, the owner of the tooth is Guo Sen!"

Wu Chang's expression changed, and he immediately shouted: "He's a fake, shoot..."

With a "whoosh", an arrow shot from the side, and pierced the Corporal Chief's neck with a puff.

"There are enemies, be brave, light the beacon!" A soldier roared, and shot an arrow in the direction of the arrow that killed the corporal.

The remaining two soldiers immediately squatted down and shot two arrows at the knight under the beacon. Unexpectedly, that guy was too shrewd, and rolled over and fell off his horse before the arrows were shot.

"Woolulu, woolulu..." Seven Rouran soldiers climbed up from both sides with their scimitars, shouting and rushing towards the remaining three soldiers.

Ma Gandang, who was running towards the beacon tower, felt that the armor on his body was really a burden, and suddenly there was a piercing roar from behind: "There are enemies, Ma Gandang, light the beacon fire!"

Ma Gandang stopped and turned his head to take a look, he saw a fight taking place on the beacon platform halfway up the mountain below, many Rouran people surrounded several companions and chopped down.

"Captain—Jute—" Gan Dang roared and shed tears, turned around and ran towards the beacon tower with all his strength.

He was running out of breath. The beacon tower was on the top of the mountain, and there was still some distance from here to the top of the mountain. Fortunately, he was in good physical fitness during military drills.

But the Rouran people below caught up, his heart flustered, his breathing became chaotic, his physical strength flowed too fast, and soon he was panting and sweating profusely.

"Run, run, run!" Ma Gandang gritted his teeth, images of several companions being besieged and hacked to death by a large number of Rouran soldiers kept appearing in his mind.

When he was exhausted, he finally ran to the beacon tower, and took out a flint from a torch placed on the beacon tower to ignite it. When the torch was lit, he threw the torch to the firewood pile mixed with horse dung and sheep dung with all his strength.

With a sound of "boom", the beacon tower was ignited, a huge flame shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

Chapter 295

"Heh——" soldier Wu Zhen stood on the central watchtower of the Jinling Camp with his legs spread apart, raised his hands, stretched his waist, and exhaled foul breath.

It will be dawn soon, and when it is too bright, he will change his guard and go down to rest, and he will be able to sleep well after eating breakfast.

At this time, a ray of red light came into view, and he opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance, only to see a raging fire rising from the top of a mountain more than ten miles away to the north, and the fire light illuminated the scene of billowing thick smoke rushing into the sky.

Wu Zhen's expression changed, and he immediately ran to Xiaozhong and grabbed the rope to ring the alarm bell.

"Dang, Dang, Dang..." The rapid alarm bell rang through the entire Jinling Camp.

All the sleeping soldiers were woken up, no matter whether it was soldiers with combat effectiveness, or cooks, grooms, and coachmen, none of them did not run out of the tents, and many of them were still disheveled.

Such a rapid bell sounded, something must have happened, Zhao Junsheng stood up and shouted: "Guo Yi, Guo Yi!"

Follower Guo Yi ran in: "Du Tong?"

"Put on my armor quickly!" Zhao Junsheng yelled.

Guo Yi immediately put the armor on Zhao Junsheng's body as quickly as possible, tied the rope, put on the helmet, hung the waist knife, and followed Zhao Junsheng out of the tooth tent with the spear on his shoulder.

Zhao Junsheng ran to the watchtower and shouted: "I am Zhao Junsheng, the governor of the capital. Why did the sentinel ring the bell and what happened?"

Sentinel Wu Zhen yelled to the people below: "Dutong, Baolin Beacon Tower lit the Beacon Tower, the flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed!"

"What?" Zhao Junsheng's face changed drastically, and he immediately turned his head and shouted: "Guo Yi, blow the horn!"

"Yes, Dutong!"

Guo Yi agreed, and immediately took off the horn from his waist and blew it, "Woo—————"

After a few minutes, the soldiers assembled in the school grounds. Zhao Junsheng stood on the soldiers counting platform holding the handle of his knife, and ordered Xue Andu, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu and others: "I will go to see the commander in chief. The armed forces stand by and stand by! Order the cooks to start a fire and cook food immediately, and cook the food as quickly as possible for the soldiers to eat!"

"Obey!" Gao Xiu and the others agreed with clasped fists.

Zhao Junsheng ran down the platform, stepped on his horse and galloped out of the camp. The camp gate guard immediately opened the camp gate when he saw this, and Li Bao and others rode horses and ran out of the camp behind him.

Soon they came to Marshal Xingyuan camp, An Yuan's soldiers were planning to leave the camp to find Zhao Junsheng to inquire about the situation, when they saw him coming, they immediately said: "Zhao Dutong, Marshal is going to ask you what happened!"

"Take me to see the handsome man!"

Arriving at the commander's tent, An Yuan was already walking around anxiously at the door of the commander's tent in armor and sword, surrounded by the marshal's aides: Zhizhong Eng, the Supervisor of the Army and the Yushi, Zhu Bo and others.

Zhao Junsheng jumped off the horse, cupped his fists and said, "I'm humbled to meet the commander-in-chief!"

An Yuan immediately asked: "Zhao Dutong, what happened?"

Zhao Junsheng said in a deep voice: "Commander, the beacon tower of Baolin Beacon Tower was set ablaze, and the sentries rang the alarm. This shows that the Rouran army has crossed the front line of defense. We have opened up a path to climb over the mountains, and we only have half an hour at most to prepare!"
