The night was as thick as ink, a vague outline loomed in the darkness, the low walls were less than two feet high, and a small city that looked like a projectile was sandwiched between three rivers and two mountain beams. On the left side of the city, the branches and leaves of the mulberry forest rustled, and the figures in it swayed, and hundreds of eyes were secretly staring at the same place.

Nearly 2,000 soldiers were hidden in the small mulberry forest, and although the horses were taken to chew, they could vaguely hear the horses snorting uneasily.

"Captain Tian, look at it, what kind of ghost is really going on in this city? Obviously, there are tens of thousands of people stationed inside, but there is not a single light, are they cowardly and can't evacuate overnight?"

"General Qin is right, and what he said is not right. ”

"What is the truth? It's right and wrong, say something dry, don't just think about fooling me!"

I only heard Captain Nada smile.

"I can't hide the wisdom of General Qin, but the last general has no idea of fooling, and the reason why I say this is because this is indeed the case at that time! The thieves in Xin'an City did not light the lamps and cover their tracks, in order to make it impossible for our royal division to accurately deduce the number of their men and horses, and on the other hand, it can also be a means of confusion, so that the besieging army will not dare to act rashly. ”

"After making trouble for a long time, it still means that you haven't said anything, you just say, can we attack the city with a night attack?"

Captain Natian was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect this person to be so bold.

"By all means, rashly launching an attack without knowing the truth is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! The last general knows that the general used to take down several cities with hundreds of people in the past, but now the Xin'an defenders are all elite people under the command of An Thief, so they have to be cautious!"

I only heard General Qin laugh out loud.

"I want to test it, how brave is Captain Tian, now it seems that he has more strategy than courage!"

Captain Tian grinned awkwardly, trying to hide his disapproval with a smile, but what he squeezed out was an expression that was more embarrassing than crying. Fortunately, there was a cover of the night, otherwise it would have been clearly understood.

This Qin general is Qin Yan, who was born as a slave of the Qin Jin family, and the one who joined him was Tian Chenghei, who was newly taken under the command of Qin Jin.

Qin Yan suddenly raised his right arm and pointed to Xin'an County in the distance.

"Let's just go back like this, won't we let the doctor underestimate us?"

Accused of lack of courage, Tian Chengsi was 10,000 unconvinced, and fought with the Khitans for many years in Youyan, and the Khitan thieves he personally killed were not two hundred but one hundred, at that time, this arrogant and rude guy didn't know which mansion to be a house slave Xiao Si!

But this is the way the world is, who let Qin Yan be born in the Qin Mansion, and Qin Jin intends to train him as a general, in just a few years, his status is already far above the rank that Tian Chenghei has exchanged for many years.

Tian Chengsi was mixed up step by step from the lowest soldiers, and he had already learned a set of skills to observe words and feelings, and to meet and greet him, so he not only did not question Qin Yan's "bold words", but also praised everyone:

"General Qin's ambitions are all superior, and the last general admires and admires!"

Qin Yan stared at Tian Chengsi's blurred face in the dark, and said with a smile:

"I know that you must not be convinced, when it comes to courage, no one will be willing to be left behind by the men who fight in the army. Let me show you now, I plan to sneak to the east of Guancheng overnight, and you don't have the courage to come with you?"

"This ......"

Tian Chengsi gasped, he only felt that this Qin Yan was too conceited before, but now it seems that he is still a lifeless character, it may not be difficult to venture to the east of Guancheng at night, but once dawn and his whereabouts are exposed, won't they all become turtles in the urn?

You can't underestimate the low Guancheng of Xin'an, which was once the Hangu Xinguan in the Han Dynasty, with the main roads on all sides, and the mountains and rivers are also extremely dangerous......

"What, scared?"

Although Tian Chengsi is good at stammering, after all, he is also a fighting man in the army, and he was squeezed by Qin Yan's words, so he had to stiffen his head and say:

"General Qin has an order, and the last general dares to disobey his orders!"

Qin Yan laughed again, patted Tian Chenghe's shoulder, and said:

"Okay, since Captain Tian also supports me, after another half an hour, I will sneak in from the river north of the city and go to the east of Guancheng to make some noise for the rebels and thieves, so that they can have more surprises!"

More than 1,000 people followed the dry river and silently entered the valley north of the city. At this time, Tian Chenghe's intestines were all repentant, and he regretted that he was hot-headed under Qin Yan's squeeze half an hour ago, and agreed to this kind of action that was almost self-defeating.

He looked up and forgot to glance upward, the city wall, which had been less than two zhang low on the west side, was now four or five zhang high. The base of the castle wall was built on the high hill on the south bank of the river, and it is so high that you almost have the illusion of a frog at the bottom of a well.

The pitch-black void was faintly outlined in the city wall and the mountain, and a faint dark band of light was blurred.

Tian Chengsi prayed silently that they would not be discovered by the rebels, otherwise they would be blocked in the valley, but they would become turtles in the urn.

As the march deepened, there were low calls from time to time. It turned out that they had found countless human bones in the dry river, many of which glowed with a faint gray light in the dark night, making people feel as if they were at the entrance to hell!

In this regard, Qin Yan didn't care about it, and only reminded his subordinates to silence him, and he must not leak Xingzang.

"Does Captain Tian know the origin of these bones?"

Tian Chengsi was only stunned for a moment and understood that these bones were probably the rebels who were burned alive by the Xin'an United Soldiers in the winter of Tianbao's fourteenth year.

At first, he only heard the understatement of the military report, but he did not expect that so many people had died, and after entering the dry river valley, he had walked down at least two miles, and the human bones were not only not reduced, but even covered the entire river, and this alone was enough to imagine the tragedy of that night.

Thinking of this, Tian Chengsi couldn't help but shudder. However, this subtle movement was captured by Qin Yan again, and this person seized the opportunity to tease in a low voice:

"Isn't Captain Tian afraid?"

Tian Chengsi suddenly had a feeling that the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and he was in danger at this time, and if he was not careful, he might be doomed, so he only snorted secretly and didn't answer.

About five miles of the river, two thousand people walked for about half an hour, until out of the valley, Tian Chengsi let out a long sigh of relief, and finally walked out of this damn valley. He swore that he would never walk into this valley again, and that it would be a terrible idea to leave his fate to God.

"Get on the horse, get to work!"

Tian Chengsi was shocked, and finally couldn't care about his face, so he stopped him by saying:

"General Qin can't, it alarmed the rebels, even if we want to leave, we may not be able to leave!"

Qin Yan habitually smiled:

"Did Captain Tian think that I was only taking my brothers across the river valley to prove that I was not a little courageous? This traitorous general of Xin'an, although cautious, would never have imagined that we would dare to sneak over to the east of Xin'an Guancheng with only 2,000 men. ”

At this time, Tian Chengsi's brows couldn't help jumping twice, and he suddenly found that he had underestimated this person.

"Could it be that General Qin has already made up his mind?"

Qin Yan snorted, and then raised his hand to point to the pitch-black void in the east.

"The men who lead the troops set up a defensive line, and they never put grain and grass at the forefront. Especially in a place like Xin'an, since tens of thousands of people are stationed, within fifty miles of this place, there must be a place where their grain and grass are hoarded. We don't have to fight the traitors at all, we just need to take the opportunity to burn their grain and grass, and it's a great achievement!"

At this point, Tian Chengsi had already understood Qin Yan's thoughts, and at the same time he secretly sighed, he had heard that Qin Jin dared to employ people in an eclectic manner, and now it seems that this is true. Although Qin Yan came from a humble background and seemed to be rude and brainless, he was actually rough and fine, and his ideas were bold and not unbounded, just like tonight's seemingly whimsical adventure, there was definitely a possibility of success.

Tian Chengsi has been in the army for more than ten years, how can he not know the habit of hoarding army grain and grass in the Youyan border army, just as Qin Yan speculated!

The hooves of the two thousand cavalry were only wrapped in thick linen, and the four hooves could only make a dull sound, and the horses scattered out spread out in all directions, while Qin Yan and Tian Chengsi advanced at a normal speed along the official road, and when they found the place where the grain was stored, they roared away.

Suddenly, the scout horse sent back an urgent report, and the front found a team of centaurs who had been galloping all night, and it seemed that it was at least one man and two horses. With their speed, it was too late for the two thousand cavalry to avoid it, and Qin Yan immediately decided:

"Go up, be sure to annihilate them all, running one is our doom!

"Wait!"

Tian Chengsi suddenly stopped Qin Yan.

"There is not necessarily only one way to encircle and annihilate, why not pretend to be a local regimental soldier who has been recruited? As long as you fool those people, or suddenly make trouble, or let them go, you can control everything!"

Qin Yan listened to Tian Chenghe's idea, his eyes rolled twice, and he felt that it was a good idea, rather than working hard, it was better to win with a plan.

"Okay, just like Captain Tian said!"

Tian Chenghe's courage was not small, and he took more than a dozen people to meet him first, and the other party really hit the plan, thinking that Qin Yan and these people were local soldiers who were traveling at night.

However, after a few words of contact, Tian Chenghe, who is good at observing words and feelings, found that the identity of this centaur team is not simple, and it is by no means an ordinary soldier. After all, he has been a general under An Lushan for many years, and he has a keen insight into the upper and lower people. Although these people were all dressed in ordinary uniforms, it can be inferred from the weapons they carried and the configuration of one man and three horses that they must have come from some cronies of some powerful people.

With this judgment, an even bolder idea took shape in Tian Chenghe's mind!

"How far is it from Xin'an Guancheng ahead, and how far is it from Changshi Mountain?"

The leader of the horse team spoke quite politely, in addition to asking Xin'an Guancheng, he also asked a place name that Tian Chengsi had never heard of, what is Changshi Mountain?
