In the dark night, on a high ground, two men were lying on the ground.

A light rain fell from the sky, and in this cold night, dripping on people's bodies, it seemed particularly frozen.

"Wangtou, it's such a cold day, let's go back to the barracks!"

These two people, one is very young, twenty-four or five years old, the other is older, in his thirties, a calm and calm, the two are peripheral scouts, the older surname is Wang, and the younger surname is Liu.

The scout surnamed Wang glanced at him and snorted: "The military order is like a mountain, if you want to give your head to others as a ball, you can go back and try." ”

The scout surnamed Liu shrank his head, and his single revenge was the same as his hundreds of relatives and soldiers, sharing weal and woe, but at the same time, the army was also extremely strict, with clear rewards and punishments, and never talked about any personal feelings.

However, the scout surnamed Liu was still unconvinced and said: "General Shan's order, I don't dare to disobey it, but what kind of thing is Zhao Wei, a defeated general, what qualifications do you have to order us to do this and that, looking at his finger-pointing look, I just don't accept it." ”

The scout surnamed Wang said: "Don't be unconvinced, Zhao Wei's name is quite prosperous in Longyou Tubo, when he became famous as a general, our General Shan was only a mere general, in terms of seniority and reputation, compared to General Shan, it is more than that, and... In my opinion, his arrangements for military deployment are very appropriate and reasonable, and he is not an ordinary person. ”

The scout surnamed Liu muttered in a low voice: "That can't let us expand the defense line to forty miles away, General Shan has never let us extend to the periphery for twenty miles." ”

"Okay, don't complain, overnight, bear with it, and it's over, it's our duty."

"King's Head, I...."

The scout surnamed Liu opened his mouth to speak.

"Shut up."

The scout surnamed Wang suddenly let out a low roar, stopped his words, and then raised his body slightly, raised his head, and looked into the distance, his face was solemn.

When the scout surnamed Liu saw his expression, he also hurriedly looked ahead, only to see that in the dark night, a black tide was surging forward, and faintly, the neighing of the horse's ass could be heard.

"Is it the enemy?"

"I don't know."

As soon as the scout surnamed Wang finished speaking, he hurriedly pressed his partner next to him with one hand, and the bodies of the two people stuck to the ground.

I saw that in the dark night, dozens of fires lit up, and then flew up, which was a rocket, scattered in all directions, and when it fell to the ground, it illuminated a small piece of heaven and earth.

The scout surnamed Wang pulled the scout surnamed Liu, turned around and ran towards the bottom of the high ground, the two got on the war horse, and the scout surnamed Wang said: "You immediately notify the brothers around to retreat, and I will go back to the camp first to report the situation here." ”

The scout who went out to guard, naturally it was impossible for only the two of them, this scout surnamed Wang was a school captain, and under the order of Zhao Wei, he led thirty scout soldiers out to keep an eye on them, in a group of two, several miles apart.

"Okay, let's split up."

Although the scout surnamed Liu is not very old, he is also a veteran who has been in the army for seven or eight years, without any nonsense, he took the order and left, the mouths of the two war horses were wrapped in coarse cloth, and they couldn't make a sound, they each rode their horses, and disappeared silently in the silent night.

The curtain was opened, and Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei walked in quickly.

"Who?"

When Jiang Daxiong heard the movement, he turned over, got up from the ground, drew his sword, and came to Li Xun's side to protect him.

"Big bear, it's me."

Shan Qiu said as he lit the oil lamp in the tent.

Li Xun was awakened by Jiang Daxiong's roar, stood up from the carpet, and looked at the sudden Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei, both of whom had a rather solemn face.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Wei said: "Li Xun, there is a team of no less than three thousand people, which is heading towards us. ”

Li Xun was stunned, his heart suddenly tightened, but he quickly calmed down, after the two wars between Longyou and Jiangnan, and the sudden military changes, Li Xun has already adapted to a certain extent.

"Friend or foe?"

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "The scout came to report, this group of people came at night, behaved strangely, cautiously all the way, probing horses everywhere, obviously not wanting to be known by others." ”

"It's so late at night, sneaking over, it's not good!"

Li Xun's face was heavy, he looked at Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei, and said: "Although the number of the other party is more than us, the geometry of the combat power is not yet known. ”

Shan Qiu nodded and said: "That's what I mean, although there are not many of us, we are all elite people, and we should fight." ”

Zhao Wei said: "We occupy a favorable position, why don't we take credit for defense, and then send people to Guazhou to ask for help, just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, this group of people will be self-defeating." ”

Shan Qiu glanced at Zhao Wei, and did not say anything to argue with him, the enemy was coming, quarreling endlessly, and it was difficult to make a decision, which was a big taboo.

Li Xun pondered silently, the opinions of the two were good, just a word, a word, at this moment, Li Xun realized that as the commander of the army, at the moment of crisis, the next decision is so heavy and difficult, a wrong decision will implicate many people.... Life-and-death.

"General, the troops have been assembled."

Lei Wanhai walked in and gave up his hand to report.

The hesitation on Li Xun's face disappeared, he became resolute, and just said one word: "Fight!" ”

At the critical moment, Li Xun did not panic, and his stable psychology made him quickly sort out his thoughts, after the battle of Longyou, the army of the Dashi Empire was swept out of Longyou, so in the entire territory of Longyou, there could be no regular army of the Dashi Empire, the person who hid behind and wanted to kill himself, I am afraid that he did not have so much energy and means to mobilize the regular army of the Great Jin Dynasty and openly attack himself, this kind of behavior is like a rebellion, it is simply looking for death, give more money, the generals of the states in Longyou who hold military power, I don't dare to mess around, since it is not the existence of the regular army, there is only one possibility... Bandits, before leaving, Li Xun visited Huang Xun for the last time, looking for him to learn from the situation here, Huang Xun said that the land of seven states in the west of Longyou, there are many bandits, and the people are not attached.

Li Xun finally decided to take the initiative, just to think about the key to it, if this group of people is bandits, although the number is large, its combat effectiveness is probably not very strong, and it may even be just a group of rabble, with five hundred elites in his hands, why be afraid?

"Li Xun and I led 300 people to attack from the center, and Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai each led 100 people to outflank them from both sides."

Shan Qiu said the battle plan, Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai nodded, they thought it was good, and looked at Li Xun, he was the main general, Shan Qiu's words could only be suggestions, not decisions.

Shan Qiu has led the army for many years, fought on the battlefield, and has extremely rich experience in battle, Li Xun has no doubts.

"That's it, do it right away."
