Chapter 642: Battle of the Sanggan River Fifty-two
Since it was confirmed that there was no problem, it was natural to notify the other side, these guys came up and protected the chief, who took out a small box wrapped in layers of sheepskin from the closet, which seemed to be specially wrapped for waterproofing, and opened it to see that it contained a small candle, flint, and a red lens-like thing, I don't know what it was for.

The Tang soldiers disguised as spies could not guess the purpose of these things, because even the spies they caught did not have any information about this kind of thing in their confessions, they only knew that when they connected with a candle and covered it with their hands, they flashed three times to notify the people on the other side of the bank, and when it was confirmed that they could cross the river to attack, even they did not know, after all, for the sake of safety, no one would give all their information to the spies lurking in the enemy camp.
They had to sit back and watch the movements of these ten Khitan warriors, but they did not make their own arrangements to reveal their identities or act against these enemies who came to join them at the beginning, but to make them feel that everything was as they expected, so that they would come to attack at night and fall into the trap of Wang Zhonghe.
I saw that the chief took out the flint and steel and the candle first, and carefully lit it, and one of the warriors beside him blocked the light of the candle with both hands, so that it would not be discovered by the Tang army, and then the other person picked up the red lens contained in the box and held it in front of the candle.
At this moment, these Tang soldiers knew what they were doing, it seemed that they were going to send a signal with color through the lens, and sure enough, the Khitan warrior who covered the candlelight with his hand removed his hand and quickly covered it, so as to produce the flickering effect of the candlelight, which was sent out five times before and after, and then Nashi Chang blew out the candlelight, and it seemed that this was the return message they had agreed upon.
Although this candlelight is only a small point of light, to put it bluntly, even if there are really other Tang troops on the dock, I am afraid that they may not be noticed, but after all, the Xi Qi coalition army has arranged a lot of people to keep an eye on the opposite pier, and this special red point of light will naturally not be missed.
After the signal was given, it didn't take long for the opposite side to shoot five flickering candles to react, but this time the opposite candlelight turned green, and it seemed that the same method was used.
After getting a response, the chief breathed a sigh of relief, he was originally selected as the chief of these ten people, but he was still a little worried and afraid, after all, he was the vanguard of the night attack on the Tang army camp, if there was something wrong, his life would be handed over to the other side.
But under the temptation of heavy money, coupled with the actions of the 200,000 army behind him, he actually grasped this huge sense of sufficiency with one hand, he finally came to the Tang Army Wharf, and successfully completed the connection with the spies lurking in the Tang Army camp, and the enemy troops on the wharf were killed by these spies, so he did not encounter any danger. This guy's task ended here, all he needed to do next was to wait for the cavalry troops of the Xi Qi coalition army to storm the Tang army camp and kill, while he and these spies waited quietly on the dock for the news of victory to come.
It's just that the offensive of the Xi Qi coalition army will not be as fast as they expected, they are ugly and reorganized, and after getting the signal from the other side, they sent joint personnel, and when Li Huaixiu confirmed that it was correct and gave the order to cross the river, it was already late time.
After receiving Li Huaixiu's order, from the first formation of the Xi cavalry at the front, more than a dozen teams of men and horses suddenly rushed out, all of whom were the ones with big shoulders and round waists, and looked very majestic.
On the shoulders of each of their teams carried a very long towering log, each of which had been cut to civilians on both sides, and seemed to have been specially dyed black, otherwise the original white wood would have been too conspicuous in the night, and it would have been exposed.
Seeing that the Tang army on the other side still did not move, it was thought that the tower whistle had also been slaughtered by other spies according to the instructions, so these strong men carried a giant tree into the water on the left and right. Not only were they as strong as oxen, but they were also so tall that they could step on the mud on the riverbed with a little flutter after jumping into the river. But the worst thing is this small distance, plus the buoyancy of the wood is relatively large, although each giant wood is very heavy, but if you want to put the giant wood on the two docks, it still takes some effort, and the movement they make here is a bit big, but fortunately it still did not attract the attention of the Tang Army, after all, it is now the time of Yin, even if it is the kind of guy who can't sleep on weekdays, it is time to fall asleep, plus all the tower posts and patrol posts have been killed, even if they make a fuss, I am afraid that the Tang Army will not have any movement。
Of course, this is in the eyes of the Xi Qi coalition forces......
The real situation is that inside the Tang army camp and near the main road to the dock, there are a large number of Tang troops lurking, all of them are wearing heavy armor and holding Mo knives, waiting for the battle. Although the Anxi Mo Sword Army is famous all over the world, and the Mo Sword Army has not been set up in other towns, it is still possible to draw a scoop according to the gourd, although these heavy armored infantry have not received strict Mo Sword training, but it may not take much effort to kill the cavalry of the Xi Qi Alliance Army in light armor.
Although they can all see that there are a lot of Beiyi in the Sanggan River carrying huge trees and slowly advancing, their hearts are itchy, but Wang Shuai's military order has not come down for a while, and they can't make any moves for a while, which is where the Tang Army's military style is strict, and the Xi Qi Coalition Army on the opposite side, although the army has already been reorganized, but now an hour has passed, and after the guys in the back few formations saw that the Tang Army did not move, some people actually dozed off on horseback, which is the fundamental difference between the Tang Army and the Beiyi Army.
On the tent of the Tang army's camp, Bai Quan stood on a flagpole at the highest point, his eyes were firmly fixed on the movement in the Sanggan River, he was the back hand that Ye Qingcheng arranged here to prevent any unexpected situation, unless Wang Zhonghe's life was in danger or the Tang army's ambush had a tendency to collapse, he would not make a move.
The soldiers below him looked up at Bai Quan, who stepped on the tip of the flagpole with only one foot, from time to time, and only felt as if they were living in a dream, those top martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes were alive in front of their eyes at this moment.
Several of them had been to the Xiqi coalition camp with them before, and these guys were whispering to their colleagues about their experience and how powerful Bai Quan was, which made these colleagues feel more and more incredible, but although he himself could hear the conversations of these guys, he didn't have much reaction.
