Chapter 101 Words are like knives
A wind blew at night, shaking the torches of the night watchmen.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, the sound of quarreling came out one after another, and it could be heard anywhere nearby.

The wounded and missing soldiers of the Sui army sat in twos and threes in front of the bonfire, their eyes full of disappointment.

"The Turks stole the camp!"

"Steal the camp!"

The sound of warning came from the camp in the distance. After nightfall, the Turkic people continued to send out cavalry to harass the Sui army camp, making the soldiers of the Sui army exhausted and exhausted.

Looking outside the Ubud tent, the soldiers of the Sui army wandered away.

Sun Erniang smiled and said, "It seems that we will be going home soon."

"How?" Li Hu asked.

Sun Erniang said: "Brother, don't you see that we can't defeat the Turkic people, and I think we can pack up and go home soon."

"But the Son of Heaven has not been rescued yet." Li Hu said aside.

Sun Erniang shook her head and said, "Who cares about that stupid king? In today's battle, everyone has seen that the Turkic people are powerful and their troops are strong. Even if the imperial court comes with 10 people, they will not be able to defeat them."

Su Su shook his head and said, "No, I think the ones who retreated should be Turks."

"Master, why do you say that?"

Su Suyan said: "The Turks plundered 10,000+ people in Yanmen County, and there are countless others. According to the tradition of the grassland tribes, they will advance if they are profitable, and retreat if they are not profitable. I don't think they will stay here for long."

"The head of the family is right, so we can go home." Sun Erniang looked happy.

Just at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly said from outside the tent, "Is Brother Li there?"

Li Chongjiu was taken aback for a moment, Li Hu, Su Su and the others all had suspicious expressions on their faces.Li Chongjiu walked out of the tent, only to see Li Zhiwan standing pretty outside the camp, waiting for him.

"I don't know Brother Chong Jiu, can you walk with me?" Li Zhiwan said softly.

"Of course." Li Chongjiu said with a smile.

The two men came out of the barracks and walked all the way, but they saw the remnant soldiers retreating from the front line all the way, and the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were all wounded and bleeding.Wounded soldiers wailed and screamed in the camp.From time to time, dead soldiers of the Sui army with their heads covered were carried out of the camp.

Seeing this, Li Zhiwan could not bear it, and said: "Just now the military discussion has come to a conclusion, Mr. Fan has given his life, and tomorrow the whole army will attack the Turkic people again."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but say: "We still have to fight, isn't the situation of today's battle already obvious?"

Li Zhi said softly: "All the generals refused, but Mr. Fan did not listen to people's persuasion, and made a decision to force the generals to fight with the imperial decree. They were reluctant and had to agree."

Hearing this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but shook his head. There were only two cases in history where the whole army was unwilling to fight, and the chief general or the supervising army insisted on going his own way.He thought of the Daming Civil Fortress Change.

The night wind was floating, and Li Zhiwan looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Tomorrow's battle may be very dangerous. You have to protect your father first, and the brothers in the escort agency are the ones."

"I will. Take care, too."

Li Zhiwan nodded lightly and said, "I know."

"Why would you rather contradict Fan Zigai and protect me in the tent that day?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Li Zhiwan smiled and said: "Whatever you say, I brought it out with my own hands. If you were beheaded in the camp, wouldn't it appear that I have no discernment."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiwan smiled lightly, at this time the breeze blew gently, brushing the hair on Li Zhiwan's forehead.Li Zhiwan casually tied her hair behind her ears.

Now that the war is raging and life is at stake, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel moved when he saw Li Zhiwan's very feminine actions.Li Zhiwan smiled and said: "Fool, what are you doing staring at me?"

Seeing that Li Zhiwan was not angry because of her rudeness, Li Chongjiu moved closer to her and said, "If I can force the Turks back, can you promise me a condition?"

"What condition?" Li Zhiwan asked with a smile.

"Not ready yet."

"Okay, I agree." Li Zhiwan said without hesitation.

"Really, haven't I said anything yet?"

"I believe you." Li Zhiwan said with bright eyes.

The beautiful woman is close in front of her eyes, and there is a faint fragrance from Rourou, which makes Li Chongjiu feel a little warm among the gold and iron horses.

"Sanniang."

The torch was shaking, and a man strode out, it was Chai Shao.

Seeing Chai Shao's dissatisfaction with Li Chongjiu flashed past, he forced a smile and said: "Sanniang, I was busy with military affairs just now, and you didn't even know you came to our army."

Li Zhiwan said: "I'm here to find Brother Chong Jiu. Why are you here, Mr. Chai?"

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he said, "Could Mr. Chai be eavesdropping?"

Chai Shao's expression darkened, he had just bumped into him by accident, and his trilogy was originally arranged in a big camp with Li Chongjiu.Regarding the various matters between Li Zhiwan and Li Chongjiu, Chai Shao had vaguely heard about it later, and couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

For him, if he cares about Li Chongjiu, he has an identity, and the two are not at the same level.Chai Shao is just thinking of every man, and his opinion of Li Chongjiu will inevitably be a little lower.

But right now, Li Zhiwan and Li Chongjiu were talking and laughing happily just now, Li Zhiwan had never shown such a smile to herself before.

Chai Shaoyan said: "Why did you eavesdrop? This is in the barracks, not outside the camp."

Hearing Chai Shaoqiang's sophistry, Li Chongjiu smiled and didn't want to argue right now.

Chai Shao immediately said: "Sanniang, let's go. In our military tent, we have newly made meals, why don't you come here together. Brother Li, you don't have any military affairs to be busy with, why don't you come and enjoy them too?" "

Li Zhiwan said: "Young Master Chai, I have something important to do, so let's say goodbye first." After saying that, Li Zhiwan left quickly.

Seeing Li Zhiwan leaving him alone, Chai Shao couldn't help but want to catch up, but he couldn't bear face and didn't want to speak.

Chai Shao looked at Li Chongjiu at the side, and said: "Brother Li, Sanniang, I know that Jiyue Guangfeng doesn't shy away from men and women, but she does this because she has no heart and doesn't represent others, so she can be ignorant."

"Of course, Brother Li is a smart person, he should know what I'm talking about, and his words are meaningless, please don't blame me for being abrupt."

Chai Shao's words kill without blood, but his steps are sinister.

Li Chongjiu also said calmly: "Brother Chai, your words are convincing, but I don't know who is Brother Chai's role as Sanniang to persuade me?"

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. Brother Chai, you and I are nothing but each other right now. Right now, the 20 Turkic army is out, and Mr. Chai does not want to retreat from the enemy. He is here to compete with his subordinates and be jealous. "

After Chai Shao listened, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes while he was speaking.

"The Turks stole the camp!"

"Left Guards on alert!"

"Get on the crossbow!"

In the big camp, the soldiers of the Sui army who had just had a full stomach had to get up and meet the enemy again.

Chai Shao also had to stop arguing with Li Chongjiu and lead Qubu to prepare to meet the enemy.

Li Chongjiu looked outside the tent, and saw the crescent moon in the sky like a knife, and under the thick night, the Turkic cavalry came and went like the wind, with their bows and arrows on their horses, they shot at the Sui army tent.

Arrows rustle and fly!
On the side, the Sui army quickly put the iron horse bowl on their heads, and squatted behind everything that could be covered to avoid arrows.

Seeing this, Li Chongjiu thought, the Turkic rangers are indeed tough, but is there really no way to crack them?
In the past, the Sui army surrounded the formation with chariot camps and fought against the Turks with bows and crossbows. This is also the usual method of warfare for farming peoples against grassland peoples. , And broke the Turks.

In history, famous generals like Huo Qubing Weiqing defeated the Xiongnu with cavalry against cavalry.

Therefore, if the peoples of the Central Plains want to be a truly victorious grassland nation and solve the troubles of northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, they will ultimately rely on cavalry.
