Chapter 356 Night Battle 2
"Your Excellency, that man is a barbarian. He has always been very rude. Please take care of him more."
As soon as Sha Wanli's act as if no one else came out, Diao San was embarrassed. Others did not know the origin of the cloak guest, but as a person in the game, Diao San knew how fierce the cloak guest was. He was afraid that he would be angry with him. He hurriedly came to the front of the cloak guest, carefully accompanied the smiling face, and bowed his hand and apologized. .
"It doesn't matter. There is something to care about in the ears of those who are waiting for death. Go and be optimistic about that man. Don't let him ruin the big deal!"
The cloakman obviously did not care about Sha Wanli's rude behavior, but glanced at Diao San from behind the veil coldly and ordered it.
"No, my subordinates obey!"
Since the cloak guest had already said something, Diao San did not dare to be careless at all. He bowed and agreed and hurried into the dense forest.
"Qinglong, send a signal!"
The cloak guest stared at Diao San's back for a long time. Seeing that he had indeed gone far away, he withdrew his eyes, glanced at the British King's Mansion camp in the distance, and ordered in a cold voice.
"No!"
Behind the cloak, there are four extremely capable middle-aged people. They are restrained. At first glance, they are no different from ordinary people, but the faint bloody air on their bodies makes people dare not underestimate them. Especially a long bearded man at the head has a style of not being angry and self-righteous. Just standing still, he has a kind of heart-wrenching temperament. However, at this time, as soon as he heard the cloak guest speak, the leader did not have any displeasure. He bowed respectfully and saluted, and then reached out a bird cage covered with cloth from a bamboo basket behind his back. As soon as he raised his hand, the cloth had been lifted open, revealing the inside. Unexpectedly, it was only locked in the cage. The eagle, but when he saw that he raised his hand, the whole bird cage had been shaken into pieces and fell to the ground, but the eagle in the cage was not damaged at all. In shock, it suddenly spread its wings and flew into the sky in an instant, circled in the air, and flew like an arrow in the direction of Longguan. Without counting the breath, it disappeared in the dusk. In the color...
The night is gradually getting a little deeper. A full moon hangs high in the sky, spreading the bright light all over the earth, as if it is coated with a layer of bright silver and silent. Only unknown insects are still singing in the grass. There is a quiet peace between heaven and earth. In addition to the ten of the royal family guards who have been running around for several days in a row. In addition to the famous and dark whistle, most of them have fallen asleep, but Li Xian still has no sleepiness. He sits alone behind several children and silently deduces the large map spread out on them. Although his expression is as calm as usual, there is a trace of worry between his eyebrows.
Li Xian can't but worry. After all, Nagar Qinling is not a person who is easy to get along with. Although most of his actions are known clearly through the hands of "Mingxi", the problem is that the Tubo army has many cavalry, which is much faster than the Tang army, and the "Mingdi" dark pile is limited to status, at all. There is no access to the real strategic core. In other words, it is not a confusing tactic for the Tubo army to fight with such an open fire. Li Xianshi does not dare to make a rash judgment. In case of a mistake in judgment, it will not be lost more than one state and two states. It is likely that the whole west of the Yellow River. They will lose all their enemies. If this is the case, Li Xian is a complete sinner of the nation.
It is a recognized fact that Hexi is not easy to defend. Not only because the land of Hexi is long and narrow, lack of depth, and there are too many points, it is easy to be stopped and divided into complementary and connected weaknesses, but also because there are many ethnic groups in Hexi, and large and small tribes are among them. Han people do not account for the majority here. It can even be said that it is an ethnic minority. It is difficult to consolidate the hearts of the people. Without three years and five years of education, it is impossible to disintegrate the vigilance of the tribes against the Tang Dynasty. At least before the war, this task is impossible to achieve. The Tang army not only can't get support from these large and small tribes, but also score a lot. A large force is used to suppress the readiness of various tribes. However, due to the emptiness of the treasury, the reinforcements in the country are completely unreliable - according to Li Xian's estimation, the reinforcements can only be sent out in the spring at the earliest, and in the past half a year, Li Xian can only rely on 40,000 standing troops in Hexi and the states. The local garrison with less than 30,000 troops is really far worse than the 250,000 troops in Tubo. Because of so many unfavorable factors, how can Li Xian's heart really relax?
If it's not easy to defend, you have to defend it. There is no room for concession in this battle. Just wait and see! Li Xian repeatedly deduced for a long time. Not only did his heart not settle down, but he was a little more annoyed because of it. He simply didn't bother to think more. He blew out a few candlesticks lit on it, walked to the marching bed, and fell down heavily. After yawning, the tiredness of rushing up for days immediately surged up. As soon as his eyes were closed, he came to sleep. When I was about to fall asleep, a feeling of palpitations suddenly burst out from the bottom of my heart for no reason, and it became more and more intense.
Well, what's going on? As soon as Li Xian was nervous, his sleepiness suddenly faded. He turned over and sat up from ** and frowned suspiciously. In fact, he couldn't figure out where the feeling of palpitation came from. He put on a single dress and strode to the tent door. When he was about to reach out and open the curtain on the tent door, he suddenly The ground stood up again. After pondering for a moment, he walked to the place where the horizontal knife was suspended near the left. He reached out and took off the scabbard of the knife and hung it around his waist. Then, he strode out of the Zhongjun tent.
"Your Highness, haven't you rested yet?"
The camp of more than a hundred people was not big. Li Xian's account was immediately noticed by the guards who were patrolling around him, but no one dared to leave his post without permission. However, Liu Ziming, the deputy commander of the personal guards on duty, did not have this scruples. He grabbed Li Xian's side with a few strides, saluted respectfully, and asked imperably. A word.
"Well, Ziming, go get busy, walk around and rest later."
Li Xian has always liked Liu Ziming's beloved general. When he saw him come to say hello, he waved his hand with a smile and told him gently. After that, he didn't care what Liu Ziming thought, he lowered his head and walked to the hillside behind the camp.
Do you still walk with a knife? Liu Ziming looked at Li Xian's back blankly, but he didn't dare to ask more. After scratching his head, he could only force himself to hold back his doubts and was busy with the patrol.
What a strange feeling. What on earth is this? Is it painstaking effort **? Isn't it that magical? The mountain is not high, which is just a gentle slope of more than ten feet. Although Li Xian walked slowly, it was just a few dozen steps. He had already walked to the top of the slope. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and doubtful. After thinking about it, he didn't think of anything wrong. He simply didn't bother to think about it again and look for it. With a big clean stone, he sat down cross-legged and looked at the scenery around the camp boredly.
No, it's murderous! Li Xian's behavior around him was originally unintentional, but when his eyes fell on a dense forest in the west, his heart suddenly burst, and he already knew the root of his restlessness. His eyes were fierce in an instant, and a bloody evil spirit rose...
The night is extremely deep. The moon has already set, but the sun is far from rising. Among the stars in the sky, except for the stars shining faintly, the rest of them are hidden into the night. The earth is dark. I don't know when, the faint mist quietly drifted from the stream and the mountains and forests. Floating, first a layer as thin as a veil, but in a blink of an eye, it has become a thick fog. Even the light of the torch can't dispel such a strong haze. As far as the eye can reach, it is no more than three feet. At this time, the guards of the royal family, who were still patrolling outside the camp, had to tighten the formation and retreat to the camp. In the middle, he looked helplessly at the endless sea of fog outside. Obviously, since the fog has risen, it is not so fast to dissipate. Only when the sun rises, there is a possibility of dissipating. At this time, the royal guards on duty have nothing to do but wait for the sun to rise.
Waiting for another wait, the sun did not rise, but waited for the appearance of countless rockets - less than half an hour after the patrol guards returned to the camp, a dense rocket suddenly burst out from the east, west and north, cutting through the thick fog with a strong roar, and falling into the small camp like raindrops. In a flash, more than a dozen tents caught fire almost at the same time, even Li Xian's Chinese military tent was no exception.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The camp was in chaos, and a lot of noisy voices roared one after another. Immediately, the sound of the horn sounded sadly, and the panic scene after the ambush was completely.
"Children, kill, kill Li Xianzhe, reward Qian Guan, rush, rush in for me, kill all, kill!"
Sha Wanli, who took advantage of the thick fog to lurk from the west side to the Liying Palace camp. As soon as he saw the chaos in the camp, he immediately became excited and roared, drove a group of men to sweep the small camp like a tide, and the shout of killing sounded instantly.
"Children, kill it!"
As soon as Sha Wanli started, Diao San, who led people to sneak to the east of the camp, did not dare to neglect, but also roared and drove the crowd forward, but he kept his heart and rushed, and unconsciously fell to the end.
"Qinglong, go, if you can't kill it, you have to get entangled!"
The cloaked guests ambushed in the east saw that they had attacked in both directions and did not dare to delay a little, so they issued an attack order, but he stood still and did not move. He just witnessed a group of thieves surging across the stream like a wave and rushed to the Yingwangfu camp with fire...
