Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 408 Night Viewing the Celestial Phenomenon
"Guess? How many heads do you have, dare you guess?" Li Jian stood still, but without looking back, he said directly to Xu Qing, "Xu Qing, there are no jokes in the army. You know it. If the reinforcements don't come tonight, what are you going to do?" capital offense."

Xu Qing glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and replied: "Well, please ask the prince to kill the minister tomorrow. Our reinforcements will come at night, but I don't know which night. Let the soldiers get ready and have dinner early, rest well."

Li Jiancheng turned around at this time and said, "Okay, let's see, where does your self-confidence come from?"

Xu Qing took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, I don't have self-confidence, but I once taught a person in Huguang this method of reporting letters."

At this moment, Li Jiancheng clapped his palms and smiled and said, "Okay, I found another golden idea of ​​yours. You, you, will hold back any good ideas. If you don't lie to you, you won't say it."

Xu Qing was stunned, but he made up his mind and said the method of his semaphore.Li Jiancheng heard the clouds and mist, he shook his head and asked: "Then the meaning of the black smoke just now, is it a sneak attack at night?"

"No, no, no..." Xu Qing replied: "The black smoke just means that 5 people have come and they have settled down, but I guess, in order to prevent Xue Yantuo from discovering them, they will choose to attack at night. "

Li Jiancheng and several other generals looked at each other, and saw that the generals nodded, but Feng Li said: "When doing things in the army, there must be no negligence. In order to confirm that the people who came are really soldiers from Bingzhou, we should burn some Heiyan, write a letter to them. If they reply, it means that Heiyan is really the Bingzhou Army, or in other words, the person who taught the semaphore to General Xu."

As soon as Feng Li said this, the rest of the people nodded, and Li Jiancheng asked, "Xu Qing, can you write to them?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "His Royal Highness, please prepare something that can produce black smoke..."

Then, Xu Qing asked to burn several piles of smoke. The distance between each pile was different, which represented flags and flags, and those who formed were able to attack. The enemy army was [-].

After a while, a plume of black smoke appeared in the distance, and Li Jiancheng was overjoyed to see it. He had heard Xu Qing's explanation just now, and knew that a plume of black smoke meant: "Here!"

Li Jiancheng laughed and said to those generals: "Okay, all the people in the army, bury the pot and make food, rest early, sleep with armor, and wait for death."

"Here!"

After a while, smoke rose from the city. Seeing this, Xue Yantuo ignored the strange black smoke in front of him.Some thought, the previous one was burned to wet wood, right?
However, the smell of food that followed made them unable to relax and ignore it.Since Xu Qing invented fried rice, the meals of the marching people have been greatly improved.A bowl of fried rice was placed in the pot, followed by a handful of snow and some dried beef, and it became a fragrant rice porridge.It's not easy to eat beef, you have to pass here, the border guards next to the prairie can eat it.

Beef and rice porridge, the beef and rice porridge that 1 people drink, the fragrance, against the wind and power, let alone in the wilderness where the wind is blowing.All the people from Xue Yantuo who surrounded Bingsha City came out to see what the Han people were doing in the city.Some of the Khan's personal guards also ran out and drank the free people who were stretching their necks, and the slaves were whipped directly.Khan's personal guards will never understand the plight of being hungry. Their food is all distributed by Khan. At this time, they still have freshly killed mutton to eat.

Xu Qing told several generals to beware of Xue Yantuo coming to attack the city at this time, and then he sat down and cooked a pot to eat.Fortunately, the Xue Yantuo people did not come to attack.Even more fortunately, those slaves and free people began to think about running away.

The night was quiet, and 5 people approached Xue Yantuo without making a sound.These 5 people are all infantry, carrying only a steel knife and a light crossbow. The general who leads the team is called Zhao Sheng, who is the same clan of Zhao Yuliang.The reason why he knew the semaphore was that Zhao Yuliang sent his son Zhao Hong to Bingzhou.

At this time, Hou Junji led this powerful force to go around between Xue Yantuo's garrison and his headquarters, and waited for Xue Yantuo's stragglers to retreat before they could defeat them in one fell swoop.Most people wouldn't believe how strict Hou Junji's army is, but if they saw the fifty thousand infantry lurking behind Xue Yantuo's tent buttocks, and they could still keep a little bit of chaos and silence, then no matter who they were, they would raise a big eyebrow. thumb.

When a real war breaks out and ends, there will never be a launching ceremony to announce to the world, but it will start and end with the first drop of blood and countless lives.The same is true when the two armies are fighting, the dull breath awakens all Xue Yantuo people from a nightmare!
In that nightmare, a few more people suddenly broke into the tent where they were sleeping, and those people chopped off their skin with a knife, and blood spattered everywhere, cleanly.It was such a real dream!The warm blood, the sticky blood, and the smelly blood are as real as splashing on the face.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that this was not a dream!
"what!"

I don't know who called out the loudest voice in his life, but it stopped abruptly.Then, there were more screams and shouts of killing... People in Xue Yantuo's camp began to envy those who escaped while eating dinner.

In Ice Sand City, Li Jiancheng looked at Xue Yantuo's barracks all around him, and they were all set up. With a wave of his hand, two troops rushed out from the moat.The targets of these armies are even more famous, rushing straight to those sweaty places.

The exact location of those sweat tents was naturally seen by Xu Qing watching the sky at night.Li Jiancheng held on to the wall of the Ice Sand City, looked up at the starry sky, and asked, "Xu Qing, where is this star? How did you find out the location of the sweat tent?"

Xu Qing clicked his tongue in his heart and took a step back, then Li Jiancheng shouted: "Stop, where are you going?" As he spoke, he put his arm around Xu Qing's shoulder, patted it, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha , Xu Qing, you are really a blessing to me in the Tang Dynasty hahaha! I knew that with you here this time, I would not lose this battle."

"Uh, uh," Xu Qing struggled. Xu Qing was really uncomfortable with Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm. He said, "His Royal Highness is overrated. I just want to finish the battle and go back. Xuanwu Sect doesn't have a master yet." of,"

Li Jiancheng supported Xu Qing and said, "You are still the guard of the Xuanwu Gate? Didn't the emperor withdraw you?"

Xu Qing was puzzled and said, "Withdraw me, why withdraw me? I'm not bad. I'll return it. The bones of former Sui General Yin Shishi have been found."

"Luck, luck," Li Jiancheng let go of Xu Qing and said, "God-defying luck!"

Xu Qing was taken aback, "Goddammit?What kind of joke are you talking about, how dare you trick the young master like this?Xu Qing quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "His Royal Highness, I dare not go against the sky, please be careful with your words."

Li Jiancheng let out a groan, realized that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly apologized to Xu Qing, it seems that the previous slip was unintentional.Xu Qing was also surprised that since Li Jiancheng waved his hand to order the soldiers out of the city, he seemed to be a different person.
