lying down

"I don't know what's wrong with the governor, but I have to find their special brigade. It's not that they are rebellious and don't want to violate military laws. They just want to go to the mountains for training. What are we doing with thousands of people behind us? New Year's Eve In a few days, I thought I could rest for a while, but who would have thought... Cough, let’s not talk about it, I’m just sulking!" A soldier broke off a small piece of pancake that was as hard as a rock in his hand, and threw it Grinding vigorously at the chewing teeth in his mouth, but muttering non-stop complaining in his mouth.

The leader looked back at him but didn't say anything, he bit the pancake vigorously in his mouth, as if he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Who says it's not! But having said that, none of us can really find their traces until now, and we can't even touch their tails. We are one of the best scouts in the army. It's embarrassing to say it." Another soldier sighed , shook his head helplessly.

Everyone immediately chattered like a boiling pot, you and I ate your words as food.

"Shut up!" The leader thundered, although he agreed with their point of view in his heart, but after all, this is what he eats, and complaining is not the solution at all. If this discussion continues, their experienced elite scouts will The team's mood will continue to decline, which is not what he wants to see.

Everyone was silent when they heard the sound, and began to gnaw on the cake.

"Boss, there seems to be a voice..."

"Eat yours! Don't tease me, don't you feel tired after two days and nights?"

"No, it's not, listen, it seems that there is really a sound!"

Another soldier stood up and hurriedly looked towards the mountain not far away, but there was only a piece of white snow in his eyes, and there was no one there.

The fire chief pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a few breaths, then suddenly got up, stuffed the pancake into his bosom and shouted: "There is someone, follow me!"

The ten people didn't care about being tired. At this time, they were definitely the first team to search for traces of the special brigade. If it was the special brigade who made the sound just now, their faces would be very bright!

Using both hands and feet, the ten people rushed towards the source of the sound regardless of their fatigue. When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw a pile of snowmen lying on the ground, neatly arranged.

"What is this? How can a snowman talk? It's amazing!" The soldier who heard the sound first stepped forward and kicked it, but found that the place where he kicked was soft and soft. It didn't look like snow, but it was human flesh!

He turned his head to look at the leader Huo Zhang in surprise, but the barrier knife in his hand came out of its sheath with a "crack"!

These ten people have cooperated all the year round and have a deep understanding.Everyone knew the difference just by looking at his expression and movements, and drew their knives to surround a row of "snowmen" in front of them.

The fire chief frowned, and said, "Why are you panicking?"

"It's not a snowman, it's a human!"

Huo Chang was surprised when he heard this.Flipping the barrier knife in his hand, he slapped the person buried in the snow with all his strength.After taking a few shots, there was still no movement, but I heard a faint faltering sound, as if my mouth was covered.

"Look!" The unknown soldier shouted.

Everyone looked carefully, only to see the "snowman" moved, his whole body swayed slightly, and a corner of his eyes emerged from the snow a few times.

"Do it!" Huo Chang shouted sharply.Four of the ten people stood on guard to prevent the people in the snow from violently rising.The remaining five separated and quickly removed the thick snow covering those lying on the ground.

After a while, more than a dozen people buried in the snow were cleared out, some were dead and some were alive, some were wounded and some were healthy, but the same thing was that they were all tied up hand and foot, and their mouths were also tightly gagged.Moreover, the cloth belt binding his hands and feet was connected by another cloth belt, so he couldn't move at all.

It's just that these dozens of people were dressed in Tang suits, but they had faces of Turkic people, with dark red blood stains on their bodies, and even deep wounds that could reach the bones.Most of their frozen faces were pale, their lips were purple and black, and their whole bodies trembled slightly as if they were stiff.

The soldier who heard the voice first took two steps forward, wanting to take out the piece of cloth that was stuck in his mouth so that he could ask a question or two.

"Stop! Search first!" Huo Chang stopped him, keenly thinking that this matter is no small matter.In the past few days, [-] soldiers from my camp have searched all over the mountains and plains, only turning around at night, but there are still more than a dozen elite scout teams like them staying in the mountains all day.These people looked like this, they must have experienced a fierce battle before, but why so many people didn't find any one?How did they get into the vicinity of the camp?Who are they?Even the Turkic people who are dressed in Tang costumes are all Turkic people, just judging from the calluses on the palms and the figure, they are not ordinary people of different races, but very much like Turkic soldiers!

With this in mind, he has to be more cautious.If you go to the barriers of these people first and listen to their words, maybe there will be a foresight situation.Since they were tied up and lined up neatly on the only way to search, the person who tied them up should not be the opponent of Datang.

His quick reaction did not insult the word "elite".All nine people started a detailed body search, even the crotch, hair and shoe soles were not spared.

"Look, Chief Huo!" A soldier unfolded the cloth strip on the Turkic man's chest, took a glance, and was shocked.Hastily handed the strip of cloth to the fire chief.After him, several soldiers found the same cloth strips and passed them to each other to watch.

The fire chief took a look, and his heart was already full of turmoil.After scanning it briefly, he pushed the cloth strip into his chest and shouted to a soldier, "Take the two of you and bring the cloth strip to the governor as quickly as possible, and quickly report everything that happened here! Get lost! What are you writing for?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to another soldier and said, "Take the number! Three long and three short!"

"Huochang, this... This is the sound of the trumpet only after the large-scale entry of enemy troops is discovered. If it is a false alarm, it will be executed according to military law!" How many people are so important, and I don't want to make fun of the heads of the ten members of my team.

Huo Chang's face sank when he heard this, he pointed the tip of the knife at the soldier, and said angrily, "If you hesitate a moment longer, I'll kill you first!"......

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

The morning sun was covered by the black clouds, but he didn't expect that in this quiet morning, the three long and three short horns actually penetrated the mountains, the forest, and even a small mist, and kept swaying into the distance. go.

The trumpets sounded rhythmically over and over again, and gradually reached the Bingzhou camp not far away.

"What's that sound? How does it sound like our army's trumpet?" Liu Er, who was about to change his post and leave the tower, wiped his eyes that were red with gum, and asked suspiciously to his elder brother Liu Da who came to pick up his post.

Liu Day punched his younger brother's iron armor, and said distressedly: "Second brother, the winter night is hard, go back to sleep quickly, don't be hysterical."

Liu Er stopped his eldest brother's fist, and continued to listen carefully: "Brother, it's true, listen carefully! It's the sound of our army's trumpet, one, two, three, four...six!! Three ...Three long and three short?!" Liu Er couldn't believe his ears, what's the number?I am afraid that the soldiers in the battalion do not remember all the trumpets, nor can they forget the only one, the sound of the incoming army!

"Six tones? Yes, it's six tones! It's three long...three short!! Second brother, hurry up and tell me, I'll blow the horn, hurry up!" Liu Da kicked the side of Liu Er's buttocks, The horn hung from the tower column mustered all its strength and blew loudly.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!" The patrolling soldiers ran quickly in the camp, tearing their throats and issuing a warning, spreading the news as quickly as possible.

"Let it go, let your mother fart, I'm against your mother's attack!" Yuan Qing was putting on her armor and preparing to puff up, but she didn't want to hear someone shouting not far away, so her face darkened and she cursed a few words.

"Huh?! Enemy attack?" His armored hands froze in an instant, his eyes opened wide, and he pulled out his sword with a bang, ignoring the armor on his body, and rushed out of the tent!

The entire Bingzhou Camp instantly boiled, it wasn't enthusiastic, it wasn't hilarious, it was nervous, it was incredible!

Everyone had the same idea in mind: Jinyang City is still a long way from the border, and the Turks actually came here? !

Xu Shiji finally had a good dream. After receiving a letter from Fang Xuanling, most of the worries he had had for several days were resolved. In addition to being extremely tired, he finally fell asleep on time last night.

The personal guards who served the left and right all the year round got up early and saw that their captain was sleeping soundly for an unprecedented time, so they couldn't bear to wake him up, thinking that they would report the truth when it was midnight, and all the generals would understand.

Unexpectedly, just as he raised the curtain and was about to turn around and go out, a shrill sound of horns and shouts of "enemy attack" reached his ears in an instant. He was shocked and froze on the spot.

"Put the armor on me quickly! Why are you so dazed!" There was a stern shout, and the guard turned his head to see that Xu Shiji had already got up and ran towards the golden armor put aside.

"Come on! Find out quickly, where is the enemy coming, and how many enemies are there? Order the whole army to regroup, and all the generals will arrive in the tent quickly!" Xu Shiji quickly grabbed the armor, and shouted to the other guards outside the door... ....

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered together within half a moment, looking at the governor sitting behind the short table, they all remained silent.

At this time, everyone's faces were more or less nervous. If this was the first time the enemy's attack horn sounded in the hinterland of Bingzhou, who wouldn't be nervous?

Xu Shiji sat behind the short table, squinting his eyes and staring at the door of the big tent, but sorting out all the possible situations one by one in his mind.

"Report!——" A long chant sounded outside the camp door, and a soldier rushed in, ignoring many etiquettes, and directly clasped his fists and shouted: "Commander! There is a horn sounding in the southwest mountain, three long and three short! This is the incoming call of the great army, so I am here to report it!" After speaking, he took a long breath before he was able to kneel down on one knee.

"Chen Shizhong? In the mountains? Southwest?" Xu Shiji got up upon hearing this, turned his head to look at the large map hanging behind his back, drew a circle with his finger on the overlapping part of the mountains, and patted it heavily with his hand.

He turned around, stared at the dozens of generals and schools under him, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, quickly send scouts to the southwest, west, and northwest for fifty miles! The scouts will report back! The rest of the generals quickly prepare their troops and assemble Stand by! The whole army is ready for battle!"
