Chapter 422: Killing the King (11)
In the tent, the eldest grandson Wuji slept soundly.
His tent and Li Shimin's are almost next to each other, that is, two ordinary cowhide tents, the outer hall and the inner bedroom. In the meantime, the furnishings are surprisingly simple for a family like the eldest grandson Wuji, and the bed is only made of wooden planks, with several layers of leather mattresses thickly covered.
Even though it is so simple, but when you go out on an expedition, the place of hardship cannot be compared with being at home. is also in danger, and when Li Shimin went out on patrol with Wang Rengong, the eldest grandson Wuji's nerves were always tight.
When Li Shimin finally returned, the nerves that the eldest grandson Wuji had been tense finally relaxed, and after supporting the patrol camp for a week, he returned to his tent, his clothes were not untied, his boots were not taken off, he fell on the couch, and immediately fell asleep.
After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is a young man in his early twenties at this moment, although he is famous for his talent and stability, he has never suffered such a journey.
I don't know what I experienced in my dream, and when the eldest grandson Wuji slept straight and smacked his lips, he was suddenly woken up by a rough push.
The moment he woke up, the future head of the eldest grandson family was just full of anger and wanted to have a seizure.
Isn't it enough to endure hardships and fears? I don't even get a good night's sleep!
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Shimin holding an oil lamp in his hand, leaning on the edge of the couch. The light of the oil lamp was reflected on Li Shimin's face, which was uncertain, and there was a sense of unfathomability.
Changsu Wuji rubbed his eyes vigorously: "Erlang, what's the matter?" ”
Li Shimin lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming anything, and said in a low voice: "Come out and see!" ”
I didn't undress when I slept, but I was happy when I got up. The eldest grandson Wuji turned over and got up, and followed Li Shimin with his eyes.
As soon as the tent came out, the cold air hit the face, and it immediately lifted people's spirits. Overhead, there is still a galactic desert, vast and empty. The bright moon is half a round, and the west is only half a round, and there are still an hour or two before dawn.
In the camp of the Hedong Army, everyone woke up, silently or with blades gathered in the camp, and the teams were neatly draped, pacing back and forth in front of the team with sabers. Seeing Li Shimin leading the eldest grandson Wuji through the way, they all hugged their fists and bowed.
Li Shimin just bowed his head slightly, and pulled the eldest grandson Wuji straight up to the wall.
On the wall, the number of sergeants on duty at this time was also doubled, the crossbow machines were all transported, and the crossbow arrows were stacked together in bundles, already preparing for war.
Li Shimin stood on the wall, his cloak rolled up, and he hunted at the corners of his clothes. The brocade clothes around the family will be surrounded.
If it is said that he only entered Mayi before, Li Shimin is still a little young, but when he really goes to the front line like this, his bearing is much purer than before!
Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed to the camp where Wang Rengong was in the distance: "Eldest grandson, look." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyes and couldn't help but gasp.
There is no other reason, Wang Rengong's camp has suddenly disturbed in this night!
In the camp, all the lights were lit, and a circle of torches was lit around the wall, reflecting the surroundings of the camp.
The gate of the camp was opened only once, but in this place, the knights came and went, and kept coming and going. A few rode in, running like flying, obviously rushing back to report some urgent military situation. There were dozens of horsemen who came out in a whole formation, neatly draped and fully armed, and went out to strengthen the patrol. There was also a brigade of infantry troops, shaking the night sky with neat steps, and after forming a formation outside the camp, they sat on the ground and waited for dawn - this was a measure to prevent any enemy from suddenly coming out and hitting the wall of the big camp at once!
And above the four watchtowers in the camp, there are lights dancing. Deliver messages to the military villages everywhere.
In the night, a faint light can be seen beating in the mountains, but it is the military villages everywhere, responding to the orders issued by the camp.
Why is it just a sound sleep to wake up, Wang Rengong's army is such a state of nervous preparation!
The eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his face vigorously and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Li Shimin glanced north, as if he wanted to see through the mountains and see the scene above the snowfields on the north side of the mountains.
Li Shimin said softly: "Liu Wuzhou is here." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji gasped.
This Liu Wuzhou really came so fast! Didn't Heng'an Eagle raise troops just to deal with the Turkic army? Presumably, he had already experienced a bloody battle with the Turkic army, and then without the slightest pause, he turned south, and immediately came straight to the front of Wang Rengong's army!
Aren't they short of food? Aren't they tired from a long fight?
The elite soldiers in the clouds really live up to their reputation! It's just that in the cold of this winter, fighting back and forth, still acting like the wind, he has already compared the most elite Sixth Army Eagle Yang Mansion in Hedong to a group of untrained villagers!
In Wang Rengong's army these days, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji have already seen the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi. This army is very well equipped, the proportion of cavalry is quite high, the action is clean, the long-distance march in winter is not hard, the sergeants are strong and strong, and there is a sense of fierceness, it is already an out-and-out strong army, Li Shimin also really understands why his father is so jealous of Wang Rengong.
But now these Mayi Yingyang soldiers are like facing a great enemy, and the whole army is mobilized at night, just such a scene, you can see that the Mayi Yingyang Mansion is quite nervous and panicked. The fear of Heng'an Eagle is already clear!
In the night, in the depths of Li Shimin's pupils, there seemed to be a fire burning.
"I really want to see what these Hengan soldiers look like............ If this elite army is returned to Hedong, if this elite army is returned to my hands! ”
For the first time in his life, Li Shimin's words revealed his ambition!
Facing the pressure of the brother whose name was predetermined, and facing everyone's disapproval. Li Shimin is still not satisfied with fate, and strives to find an opportunity to break through, and now he seems to have seen a glimmer of opportunity in this elite soldier in the clouds!
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed slightly, completely sobered up, and became a qualified staff member by Li Shimin's side.
"Does Wang Rengong have an order for my Hedong Army?"
Li Shimin sneered: "If you turn a blind eye, you won't have any orders............ Eldest grandson, look. ”
Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked over. And he saw a troop of horses riding about a battalion of horses, which were coming out of the night. Stopping at a distance of one or two miles from the camp of the Hedong Army, the knights turned over and dismounted one after another, and set up their stakes, while the generals were still on their horses, looking at the camp of the Hedong Army.
This cavalry army was mobilized, and it seemed that it was waiting for the battalion's order to move at any time, but its location, rushing towards the Hedong Army camp, was about to arrive, and it was obviously used to guard against the five hundred Hedong Army!
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin: "Erlang, we are in danger, no matter what kind of accident, no matter what kind of opportunity, the first policy is to ensure the safety of our own family, and we can't take risks easily!" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji's words, Li Shimin didn't seem to hear it, and just looked into the distance: "Just wait for the dawn to know what will happen............ We can't do this in vain! There's always a chance, there's always a chance! ”
