16. Chapter XV
The flames were soaring into the sky, and the smell of burning grass and trees and the black smoke blew to Lucheng's side with the north wind.
Li Shuang looked far away, and could only see the figures shuttling in the firelight, and the noisy sound came faintly, and the generals all went up to the city tower. Luo Teng was anxious, and he broke out in a hot sweat in the winter: "Damn, this fire is soaring, is it Xirong's plan, or is it an accident caused by the black-armored man, or ...... They Xijon directly to the civil strife? ”
"The fire is so big, it doesn't look like it was premeditated." Another general continued to analyze, "But no matter how powerful that black-armored man is, he can't let go of such a big fire by himself." ”
Qin Lan said: "Don't guess, there is no fixed number, and wait for the spies to report." ”
And just when everyone was thinking like this, Li Shuanger's eyes lit up, and he had a plan: "Beat the war drums." Blow the horn. The generals next to him were all shocked.
"The general is going to send troops?"
"Nope." Li Shuang looked at the blazing Xirong military camp, "Such a fire, even if it is a strategy, it must be out of the scope they originally wanted to control. Tonight's fire, Xirong has a lot of people and horses, and it must be a chaos, so take the opportunity to beat the drums and bluff, and they can't be scared away, and they will lose half of their souls. ”
Qin Lan's eyes lit up slightly: "This plan is feasible." ”
"This ......" Lucheng's original guard was a small man with a goatee, and he was a little afraid, "What if Xijon hears us beating drums and raises troops to come?" ”
"Let them come." Li Shuang said, "There are no generals, they go to war in a hurry, and the backyard is on fire, I see what they can do to attack my Lucheng." ”
Goatee looked at Li Shuang, and his heart trembled, intimidated by his majesty. He didn't speak, there was a short silence on the city wall, and Li Shuang's eyes swept to the side: "What are you still doing in a daze?" The cold words made the generals stunned, and they immediately clasped their hands and said yes, and they walked away and drove away.
Only Qin Lan was still standing on the city wall with Li Shuang, looking at the flames that were burning bigger and bigger in the distance.
Li Shuang was so engrossed that she didn't see Qin Lan, who was taking a step behind her at this time, and was quietly looking at her at this time, a little silent as she hadn't been before.
"General......" Qin Lan called lightly.
His voice was soft, and Li Shuang also responded in a low voice: "Huh? As in the house, she spoke to him in a familiar tone.
"The general is worried about the man in black armor."
Li Shuang was stunned, and the finger placed on the rough city wall stone shrank slightly: "Huh? She turned her head to look at Qin Lan, as if she hadn't reacted for a moment why Qin Lan asked her like this, and as if she was surprised, her heart ...... Why is it seen through.
Qin Lan's eyes sank slightly.
Li Shuang then said "oh" again: "He saved me twice, although his behavior is a little strange and mysterious, and his words and deeds are also offensive." But I ......," she paused, "I really don't want him to die in the Xijon army, under the chaos. ”
The corners of Qin Lan's lips tightened, he lowered his head, covered his eyes, and didn't say anything more.
The war drums of Lucheng thundered, and the horns sounded, and their sound was like the roar of a silent dragon in the side, piercing the cold night and darkness, tearing through the long wind from the north, and reaching the crimson sky in the distance.
The Xijon army was like an ant colony crawling in the sand, and after hearing the war drums and horns, as Li Shuang expected, it soon wavered, and the ant colony was scattered.
That night, in the midst of the firelight, the cold wind, and the drums of this terrifying sound, the army of Xijon began to retreat gradually.
"They've retreated!" A sergeant from above the walls shouted.
"They've retreated!" The sergeants were ecstatic.
And this result was already expected by Li Shuang, the black shadow of Fang Zhixirong's army completely disappeared into the cold night, and the corners of Li Shuang's mouth slightly curled into a smug smile.
Lucheng faced Xirong's first battle and won.
The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, although there was a little bit of water in this battle, it would not prevent the Great Jin from establishing national prestige in this northern wasteland.
This year's difficult winter has just begun, but their Changfeng Camp has already been able to keep Lucheng safe for most of the winter. Because, in the land of Saibei, no tribe or country can gather more troops than today's Xirong.
This time, Xirong hit a nail and left in a hurry, which will definitely serve as a lesson for other tribal countries.
The Great Jin Lucheng is rich in materials, abundant food and grass, and the people are kind, but it is not so easy to offend.
Li Shuang turned and left the city wall. The silver armor on her body rubbed against her, making a sonorous sound, and there were cheers from the soldiers behind her, and in such a noisy environment, they heard a "pop" sound.
Li Shuang looked sideways, and there was a faint trace of moisture on the ground, reflecting the firelight and the cool moon in the sky in the dark night.
This is......
Li Shuang squatted down and gently flicked her index finger...... It's blood.
As soon as Li Shuang looked up, the eaves above her head were the eaves above the city wall, and from her point of view, there was nothing but the desolate moonlight on the eaves.
But the blood was still hot, and someone must have passed through it just now.
Li Shuang had a guess in her heart, and with a little bit of strength under her feet, a light gong flew up to the eaves, and she looked on the roof, but she didn't see any figures, not even other bloodstains.
Li Shuang frowned, rubbed the blood from her fingertips, and she jumped off the roof.
Qin Lan was waiting for her, and when he saw this, he asked, "What did the general find?" ”
Li Shuang shook her head, she knew that if the black-armored man came to him, with his light skills, it would be impossible for her to detect him and catch up with him.
She went down the city wall, returned to the main camp, and just walked to the gate of the main camp, but found that the generals standing outside the camp tent were all generals, and they looked at each other with a strange look on their faces.
Li Shuang glanced left and right: "Let's all go in, what to do outside the station." As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and entered, and then the whole person instantly froze at the gate of the camp.
Qin Lan, who wanted to enter the camp with Li Shuang, almost crashed into Li Shuang's back, he hurriedly took two steps back, and looked inside through the curtain of the camp tent opened by Li Shuang......
I saw a military flag of Xijon planted in the tent, and on the military flag hung the head of a bloody man, the head of the head closed his eyes tightly, and the blood on his neck was still dripping to the ground.
It's a terrifying picture.
And just behind that head, on the Xirong military flag, I don't know whether it was in blood or ink with a few big characters written - "General Xirong Xiang Shang's head is presented to you, I hope you are happy." ”
Happy ghost!
There is also a small line of words written below - "The rest of the people, if they do it, they will die." ”
No wonder they all stood at the door with an embarrassed face and didn't dare to go in!
All these generals were still frightened by that mysterious boy!
Li Shuang grabbed the curtain of the camp tent, and with a heavy hand, he tore off the curtain one by one: "On duty!" She looked back with a dark face, "Are all people dead?" Such a big military flag and human head were sent in bloody, and no one saw it! ”
All the generals hung their heads in unison and were silent.
Li Shuang's gaze swept coldly over their faces, and then returned to the military flag in the middle of the camp, Li Shuang was used to killing, but she never thought that one day someone would give her the enemy's head as a gift.
She's not afraid, she's just ......
I think the person who gave the gift is probably sick, quite sick!
