Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 356 Night Battle in Eight Directions (2)

"My lord, that guy is a savage and has always been very rude. Please bear with me."

As soon as Sha Wanli acted like no one else, Diao San felt embarrassed. Others didn't know the origin of the cloaked man, but as a player in the game, Diao San knew how cruel the cloaked man was, and he was afraid that he would take his anger out on him. He hurriedly approached the cloaked guest, carefully accompanied the smiling face, and bowed his hands to apologize.

"It's okay, there is nothing to worry about in the ears of those who are waiting to die, go, watch that guy, don't let him ruin the big thing!"

The cloaked man obviously didn't care about Sha Wanli's rude behavior, but cast a gloomy glance at Diao San from behind the veil, and gave a sinister command.

"No, this subordinate obeys!"

Now that the man in the cloak had spoken, Diao San didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, he bowed and agreed, and hurried into the dense forest.

"Qinglong, send a signal!"

The cloaked man stared at Diao San's back for a long time, seeing that he had indeed gone far, then he withdrew his gaze, glanced at the camp of the King's Mansion in the distance, and ordered in a cold voice.

"promise!"

Standing behind the Cloaked Man are four extremely capable middle-aged men, all of whom are restrained and introverted. At first glance, they are no different from ordinary people, but the bloody aura radiating from their bodies is not to be underestimated, especially the leader A big man with a long beard has a demeanor that is not angry and majestic. Just standing still, he has a heart-wrenching demeanor. With a look of displeasure, he bowed respectfully and saluted, then reached out and took out a cloth-covered bird cage from a bamboo basket on his back. After entering the inside, it turned out to be a goshawk in a cage, but when he raised his hand, the whole cage was shattered into pieces, and fell to the ground with a flutter, but the goshawk in the cage was not damaged at all. Shocked, he suddenly spread his wings, flew up into the sky in an instant, circled in the air, and then flew towards Longguan like an arrow, and disappeared into the twilight within a few breaths... ...The night is gradually getting darker. A round of full moon hangs high in the sky, spreading its bright light all over the earth, as if coating everything with a layer of bright silver. Everything is silent, only the unknown insects are still lying in the grass. Singing, the world is peaceful and peaceful. Except for the dozen or so light and dark guards who have been on duty for several days, most of the royal guards have fallen asleep, but Li Xian still doesn't feel sleepy at all. , sitting alone behind the table, facing the large map spread out on the table, silently deduced, although his expression was calm as usual, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.

Li Xian couldn't help worrying. After all, Nagar Qinling was not easy to deal with. Although Li Xian knew most of his actions through the hands of "Mingdi", the problem was that the Tubo army had a lot of cavalry and they had to mobilize them. Much faster than the Tang army, and the "Mingdi" hidden stake is limited by its position, it can't get in touch with the real strategic core at all. Li Xianshi did not dare to make a conclusion rashly. If he made a mistake in his judgment, he would not only lose one state and two states. It is very likely that the entire west of the Yellow River would lose all opponents. If so, Li Xian is an out-and-out sinner of the nation.

It is a well-recognized fact that Hexi is not easy to defend. Not only is Hexi a long and narrow land, lacking in depth, and too many points, it is easy to be divided into several complementary sections. , the Han people here do not account for the majority, and they can even be said to be a minority. It is even more difficult to consolidate the hearts of the people. Without three or five years of enlightenment, it is impossible to disintegrate the wariness of the various tribes against the Tang Dynasty. , at least before the start of the war, this task is absolutely impossible to achieve. Not only can the Tang army fail to obtain support from these large and small tribes, but it has allocated a large part of its troops to suppress the eagerness of the tribes. Because of this, the reinforcements from the middle school can't be counted on at all - according to Li Xian's estimate, the reinforcements will not be dispatched until next spring at the earliest, and in the past half a year, Li Xian can only rely on the 25 standing soldiers in Hexi Compared with the [-] troops in Tubo, the local garrison of less than [-] in all states is far behind. Because of so many unfavorable factors, Li Xian's heart Can't really relax.

If it is not easy to defend, you must defend it. There is no room for concessions in this battle, just wait and see!Li Xian repeatedly deduced it for a long time, not only did his mind not calm down, but he was even more annoyed by it. He simply didn't bother to think about it, blew out the lit candlesticks on his chair, walked to the side of the camp bed, and gave a heavy blow. After falling down and yawning, the tiredness of traveling for several days immediately surged up, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep, and when he was about to fall asleep, a feeling of heart palpitations suddenly broke out from the bottom of his heart for no reason Come out, and it's getting stronger and stronger.

Well, what's going on?When Li Xian was nervous, his drowsiness subsided instantly. He turned over and sat up on the bed, frowning suspiciously. He really couldn't figure out where the palpitations came from. Putting on an unlined garment, he strode towards the tent door, and when he was about to stretch out his hand to lift the curtain on the tent door, he stopped suddenly, and after pondering for a while, he walked to the place where the horizontal knife was hanging on the left, and Stretching out his hand, he took off the scabbard and hung it on his waist, and then walked out of the Chinese military tent with big strides.

"Your Highness, haven't you rested yet?"

The camp with more than a hundred people was not big at all. The guards who had been patrolling around immediately noticed that Li Xian was out of the tent. It's just that no one dared to leave their posts without authorization, but Liu Ziming, the deputy commander of the guards on duty, had no such scruples After a few strides, he rushed to Li Xian's side, saluted very respectfully, and asked honestly.

"Well, Ziming, let's go get busy, Gu just walk around, and I will rest later."

For Liu Ziming, a confidant and beloved general, Li Xian has always liked it very much. When he saw him coming to say hello, he smiled and waved his hands, and gave a warm order. Then, regardless of what Liu Ziming thought, he lowered his head Then he walked towards the hillside behind the camp.

Walking around with a knife?Liu Ziming looked at Li Xian's back in a daze, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. After scratching his head, he could only force himself to suppress the questions in his stomach, and went to be busy with patrolling matters and didn't mention it.

It's a strange feeling, what kind of saying is this? Is it a whim?Isn't that amazing?The hill is not high, it's just a gentle slope of more than ten feet. Although Li Xian walked slowly, it only took tens of steps. Some people couldn't help wondering and doubting, but after thinking about it, they couldn't think of anything wrong, so they simply didn't bother to think about it, found a clean big stone, sat down cross-legged, and some people looked at it boredly. Views around the campsite.

No, it's murderous!Li Xian's behavior of looking around was unintentional, but when his eyes fell on a dense forest in the west, there was a sudden shock in his heart. He already knew the root of his restlessness, and his eyes instantly Just a slam, and a wave of blood and evil spirits arose... Yinshi is the right sign, the night is already extremely deep, the moon has already set, but the sun is far from rising, and in the sky full of stars, Except for the faintly shining Venus, everything else was hidden in the night, and the earth was pitch-black. At some point, a faint mist quietly floated up from the streams and mountains and forests. At first, it was as thin as The layer of veil turned into thick fog in a blink of an eye, and even the light of torches could not dispel this strong hazy feeling. As far as the line of sight was, it was no more than three feet away, and they were still patrolling outside the camp. At this time, the personal guards of the palace had no choice but to tighten their formation and retreated to the camp, looking helplessly at the boundless sea of ​​fog outside. Obviously, since the fog has risen, it will be difficult to dissipate. Not so fast, the possibility of dissipating is only when the sun rises. At this time, the guards of the palace on duty have nothing to do except wait for the sun to rise.

Waiting and waiting, the sun didn’t rise, but countless rockets appeared—less than half an hour after the patrolling royal guards retreated to the camp, a burst of dense rockets suddenly shot from the east, west, and north. The shots shot up, piercing through the thick fog with a strong howl, and fell like raindrops in the small camp. In a split second, more than ten tents caught fire almost at the same time, and it was Li Xian's camp. The Chinese military account is no exception.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The camp suddenly became chaotic, with many noisy voices roaring one after another, and immediately, the sound of horns rang out mournfully, completely capturing the panic scene after the ambush.

"Boys, kill, kill Li Xian, reward him with a thousand guan, charge, let me rush in, kill them all, kill!"

Taking advantage of the thick fog, he led his troops to lurk from the west side to Shawanli, which is only a hundred steps away from the Yingwangfu camp. When he saw the chaos in the camp, he immediately became excited, roared, and drove all his subordinates like Like a tide, it swept towards the small camp, and the shouts of killing instantly rang out.

"Boys, kill!"

After Sha Wanli made such a move, Diao San, who led his men to sneak to the east of the camp, did not dare to be negligent, and also screamed to drive the crowd forward, but he himself kept his eyes open, and he was already ignorant of the ghost. Unknowingly fell to the end.

"Qinglong, come on, if you can't kill it, you have to be entangled!"

The cloaked man ambushing in the east saw that there was a big attack from both directions, and he didn't dare to delay a little bit, so he gave the order to attack, but he himself stood still and didn't move, just witnessed the group of robbers under his hands like a wave Like rushing across the creek, he rushed towards the burning camp of King Ying's Mansion.
