Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 225: Suffocated and turned into a husky
The roar of the strong wind filled his ears, like the roar of a beast suppressing its throat.

The new weeds move with the wind, trembling as if frightened.

Zhou Kui was lying on his back in the grass, covered with a blue and black cloth robe, blending perfectly with the environment.

His eyes were fixed on a Tiele troop in the distance. This was already the fifth day he had been watching.

Since the scout discovered that there was a Tiele army of ten thousand people stationed in the middle of Lingzhou and Huaiyuan counties, he received the task of tracking, paying attention to every move and dispatch of this team at night.

Zhou Kui is proficient in blindfolding and knows how to use the terrain to hide himself, making him the most suitable for this task.

Wherever he looked, there were flashes of light.

Zhou Kui is not surprised at all, he is used to it.In fact, when I was lurking on the first night, I was very curious about this strange twinkling light.He was brave and skilled, so he peeked around and found groups of Tiele people gathered around the fire. They were wearing tattered military uniforms, tattered armors, and dirty hair and beards. .

And that flash of light is the light reflected by the armor.

In the Tang Dynasty, this wave of troops dressed like beggars were often ridiculed as beggar troops, but they looked like the best of the best when they were wearing Tiele people.

The grasslands are rich in iron ore and have mine resources that exceed those of the Central Plains, but they lack the means of mining and smelting technology.

Except for arrowheads, the most exquisite of their self-made iron tools is the scimitar, and they are completely unable to produce armor such as armor.

Most of the iron armors worn by these soldiers were pulled off the battlefield, and some of them could even be traced back more than ten years ago, with several pieces sewn together into one piece.

Although it looks ugly and funny, its defensive effect is extremely good, not inferior to genuine armor.

This team used to deal with the Tang army was naturally the elite of the Tiele tribe.

The wind was still howling, and the Tiele people in the Tiele camp changed one after another. Some patrolled around, some went into the big tent to sleep, and some came out of the big tent and gathered around the fire.

Suddenly there was a strange look in Zhou Kui's eyes, and he noticed some problems.

The silhouette of Tiele soldiers was vaguely visible in the distance, but the flash of light disappeared.

Zhou Kui became suspicious. He left the grass waves and walked downwind in the shadows. A faint smell of sweat and blood flowed into his nose along the wind.

Zhou Kui had already made a guess in his mind, but just to be safe, he quietly came close to the backlight. The Tiele soldiers beside the fire were all sitting or lying with dull eyes and numb expressions. Some were scratching lice on their bodies, and some were They were digging at the mud on their feet, and some simply lay motionless. Their bodies were more or less traumatized. They had obviously experienced a continuous fierce battle, and they were not at all an armored force that was recharging its energy to defend against the Tang army. .

Zhou Kui quietly retreated, bowed his body, and ran through the dark night for three miles until he found the war horse he had hidden here.

He urged his horse to gallop against the wind until he reached Lingzhou City and found Chen Qingsi who was sleeping soundly.

"Master Lang, the Tiele soldiers have moved and their whereabouts are unknown. They secretly made arrangements and replaced the armored soldiers with soldiers who are tired from long battles."

Zhou Kui felt a little ashamed. If he had known that he had discovered it earlier, he might have been able to detect the other party's movements.

"here you go!"

Chen Qingsi praised loudly, it was good that Zhou Kui could notice this.

As for the other party's whereabouts, it was not difficult for Chen Qingsi to guess.

The trump card is always reserved for the most critical moments...

Chen Qingsi didn't know the situation in Huaiyuan County, but he was certain that when the other party used this elite force, it would be the most dangerous time for Huaiyuan County.

In other words, all the other party's attention will be focused on Huaiyuan County.

"Go and call Cheng Boxian!"

Cheng Boxian was in the room next to him and woke up soon.

Also coming with him was Di Renjie. He was a light sleeper and was also woken up.Di Renjie knew about Chen Qingsi's plan. Before he spoke, his eyes were filled with questions.

Chen Qingsi nodded in response.

Two extremely smart people, no need to explain too much.

"Sir, what's wrong with not sleeping at night?"

Cheng Boxian rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy.

Chen Qingsi said: "Go put on the armor. Didn't you say you want to learn how to use weapons?"

Cheng Boxian instantly became energetic and said, "Sir, are you willing to teach me?"

Chen Qingsi shook her head and smiled: "How can I know this? The person who knows it is the master of the Governor's Mansion. Let's go find him..."

As he spoke, he ignored Cheng Boxian and strode towards the master room where Huang Heshou lived.

Chen Qingsi is the biggest person here now, and there is no way he can be stopped in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

However, Huang Heshou also received the news early, and came forward wearing thin underwear with a bit of displeasure on his face.

"Superintendent Chen brought a group of people to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night. What's the purpose?"

After hitting the wall several times in a row, Huang Heshou has now given up.

Now he no longer expects to make great achievements. He only thinks about whether he can get some good opportunities from his old boss and have room for performance. At least he will not be beaten to death when he is questioned in the future.

She didn't have a good face towards Chen Qingsi, she just said hello out of basic respect for her superiors.

"If today is included, there are still two days before the reinforcements will arrive. In other words, if Governor Huang wants to get rid of his merits, tonight is the only chance. I need someone to lead troops to attack the Tiele tribe outside Huaiyuan County. Governor Huang can Dare you take on this important task?"

Huang Heshou almost didn't believe his ears and thought he was dreaming, so he slapped himself hard.

A loud bang!
Chen Qingsi secretly took a breath of air, this guy was really good at him.

Huang Heshou covered his face with one hand and laughed: "Dare, why don't you dare, Dujian Chen, no, Mr. Chen, Uncle Chen, how to fight, I will listen to you."

In an unexpected turn of events, Huang Heshou, a hungry tiger, turned into a husky when he was not missing his teeth.

Chen Qingsi shook his head and said: "Captain Huang thinks too highly of me. I don't know how to deploy troops and generals. I will sit here in Lingzhou City and watch Governor Huang defeat the enemy."

Huang Heshou became more confident and said, "Okay, I'll go to the military camp right away."

Chen Qingsi said: "The army is not in the military camp, but in the woods west of Lingzhou, near Helan Mountain."

Huang Heshou was dumbfounded and asked, "When did you go?"

Chen Qingsi said: "Before the Tiele people entered the territory of Lingzhou, I ordered the troops to enter the city through the east gate at night, exit through the west gate, and hide themselves under the order of the general manager."

Huang Heshou was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "No, no, this..."

He spoke incoherently, and it took him a long time to hold back the words: "Isn't there no soldiers and horses in Lingzhou City?"

Chen Qingxi narrowed his eyes and said, "There are three hundred!"

Huang Heshou finally figured everything out before and after the alliance. With a hint of shame in his eyes and a little bit of conviction, he asked: "Sir, are you really not afraid of Tie Le's attack on the city?"

Chen Qingsi smiled: "What they relied on this time was speed, so they were destined to travel lightly. If I strengthen the walls and clear the country, and don't give them supplies, how can we attack the city? Fly in?"
