Chapter 749 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Oriole is Behind, I am the Oriole
When Su Xian woke up in a daze, it was already dark.

The roars of wild beasts in the wild forest come and go, and the autumn and winter of Liao Kingdom are freezing.

Su Xian supported his forehead, the abnormal sleep made him dizzy.

The rest of the people had also woken up a long time ago and were packing their bags, which seemed a bit messy.

Su Xian took a deep breath, the cold air entered his lungs, and his mind became clearer. He looked at Tang Shujing and said, "There is a stream over there. You go get a basin of water, and I will wash my face."

Tang Shujing said "Oh" and turned around to fetch water.

But after taking two steps, she suddenly realized... She seemed to be less and less resistant to Su Xian's drive. What was the reason for this?
"It's getting dark, it's time for us to act, Dashan, you go and make arrangements, first sneak into the Liao army camp to investigate." Su Xian rubbed his face and ordered.

"Master, please don't worry. The spies have made arrangements. Judging from the weather, they will be back soon." Yan Dashan reported.

"Good job!"

"..."

At this time, Tang Shujing brought a basin of cold stream water.

Su Xian was not polite and dipped the towel into the water. The cold stimulation made his whole body tremble.

He took out a towel and wrung it out, and after washing his face, he woke up completely.

He threw the towel into the basin and was about to tell Tang Shujing to pour the wash water. Just then, a group of people who inquired about the information came back.

Su Xian had no time to pay attention to Tang Shujing. He just waved his hand, turned around and greeted her.

Tang Shujing's mouth opened slightly, but she didn't say anything after all. Under the moonlight, her bright eyes glared at Su Xian forcefully, then turned around and poured out the face wash.

"Sir, we have found out that Nalanxiong personally led an army of tens of thousands, and has broken through the natural barrier of 'Jimen Pass', and is about to launch an siege at Youzhou City." The person who inquired about the information reported.

"Oh?"

Su Xian was slightly surprised. He thought that the people who inquired about the Liao army camp were back, but it turned out not to be the case. Then he asked with concern:

"How's the battle going?"

"The defenders of Youzhou were not weak to begin with, and with the help of divine thunder, Nalanxiong's troops suffered heavy losses, but Youzhou City remained standing."

"Hahaha...Nalanxiong, you are so ambitious that you personally led troops to attack Youzhou with the intention of avenging your personal revenge. Now you have hit a hard nail, haven't you?" Su Xian smiled happily.

"By the way, how are the other border states in Daliang? Did they withstand the attack of the Liao army?" Su Xian asked again.

"Uh... my subordinates never found out."

"That's all. I think the Daliang frontier army is not weak. It shouldn't be a problem to hold on for two or three days. Let's do our business first."

"..."

After waiting for a while, the second team of inquiring people returned.

Su Xian immediately asked:

"How is the situation in the Liao army camp? How many soldiers are left in the camp?"

"Returning to my son, there are still more than five thousand elite soldiers in the Liao army camp."

"Are there five thousand elite soldiers left? Nalanxiong is too cautious... By the way, are the Eight Great Khans still in the camp?" Su Xian asked again.

"Still, there are eight little khans."

"That's good."

Su Xian and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Their trip was just for the eight young khans. They were delayed for a few days in search of treasures and missed the date. They were afraid that the young khans would leave Guizhou and their trip would be in vain.

Now that everything is fine, all eight khans are here, Su Xian's plan can continue, and their anxious hearts are finally settled.

"Sir, in addition to the Eight Great Khans, we also discovered that Nalanxiong's father, King Nantu, is also in that camp!"

"What? King Nan Tu is here too?"

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, then looked ferocious and said in a deep voice:
"It's just right that we can also take care of the Southern Slaughter King. This war started because of this man. His sins are really too great. Death is not a pity!"

"..."

Because there are still [-] elite soldiers in the Liao army's camp, it is not allowed to startle the snake. If you want to get rid of the Eighth Khan and King Nantu in one pot, you must formulate a careful plan.

Su Xian and others put their heads together, discussed for a long time, and finally formulated a strategy to "lead the snake out of the hole"——

To put it simply, they first set fire to the camp to force the Eight Great Khans and the Southern Slaughter King to flee for their lives, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill them all.

To ensure a hit, they decided to take action in the latter half of the night.

At that time, the Liao army officers and soldiers were sleeping the deepest.

The plan has been decided, and now it’s time to wait.

Everyone sat down to recharge their batteries, or took a nap, or ate dry food, or chatted softly, and the wild forest became quiet.

Su Xian, Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping and the others gathered together, still deducing the plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" and formulating various countermeasures.

……

at last.

It's midnight.

Su Xian stood up. He was dizzy under the influence of the biological clock. In order to wake up completely, he looked sideways at Tang Shujing beside him and whispered:
"Tang Shujing, how about you always be my little maid from now on?"

"Go to hell!"

Tang Shujing was furious on the spot, stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh around Su Xian's waist, pulled it up, and twisted it ninety degrees.

hiss……

Su Xian took a deep breath and woke up completely.

At this time, Yan Dashan and others also stood up one after another. They did not notice the small movements between Su Xian and Tang Shujing, and they woke up after rubbing their faces.

Then they all looked at Su Xian, waiting for his order.

Su Xian straightened his face, and ordered: "Hero Guan, you sneak into the Liao army camp with 50 people and set fire to it secretly. Remember, don't startle the snake in advance."

"Subordinates take orders."

Guan Ping was not vague at all. He ordered fifty people and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Su Xian glanced at the rest of the people, and ordered: "Let's act too, divide into several teams, and ambush on their possible escape routes."

"Yes!"

"..."

By the way, Guan Ping led his men and horses to the outside of the Liao army camp.

After lurking in the dark for a while, they made sure that the soldiers guarding the camp gate were all asleep. They slowly got up and prepared to sneak in quietly.

Da Da Da Da!

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the camp.

Getting closer.

And the sound of horseshoes was messy, it sounds like there should be a lot of people.

Guan Ping and others were shocked as adrenaline surged. It was already late at night, why didn't the Liao army go to sleep?Where is this going?
They immediately hid in the darkness and watched what happened.

After more than ten breaths, the gate of the camp opened, and a large number of cavalry filed out and walked in one direction. The sound of horse hooves completely broke the tranquility in the rest of the night.

Guan Ping and others hid in the dark and waited silently for a long time before all the cavalry walked out of the camp. A rough calculation showed that there were more than [-] cavalry!
"This group of Liao troops left camp in the middle of the night, what exactly do they want to do?"

Guan Ping muttered, always feeling something strange, and ordered two Butterfly Valley masters to follow him secretly and leave marks along the way.

"Yes."

The two Butterfly Valley masters took the order and disappeared into the darkness like ghosts.

Guan Ping and the others continued to hide in the dark, and after waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, they sneaked into the camp quietly.

Guan Ping was thoughtful and always felt that the more than [-] cavalry just now were weird, so he decided not to set fire to it and went straight to the tent of the Eight Great Khans.

The oil lamps were still burning in the tents of the little khans, but what shocked Guan Ping was that there was no one inside. The little khans were all gone. There were only three or five corpses lying on the ground, which seemed to be the personal belongings of the little khans. Entourage!
"not good!"

Guan Ping's expression changed and he immediately made a judgment: "Stop the plan and quickly inform the second senior brother that the situation has changed and the little khans have left the camp in advance!"
