Li Su thinks that he is very thoughtful about his arrangements, from the actions against the prince to the measures to protect the family, he thinks about it left and right, and consciously covers all aspects, almost seamlessly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the word "almost" is not an absolute word after all, and in fact, there is a loophole in his arrangement, not because of ill-thought, but because he underestimates the ugliness of human nature.

A person who is full of sunshine in his heart has a somewhat deficient understanding of ugliness, and a person who stands in the sunshine will never be able to clearly understand what kind of deformity and ugliness are hidden in the shadows behind the sun.

Li Su is a mortal, like most mortals, he has joys and sorrows, advantages and disadvantages, mortals cannot be perfect in life and work, and the slightest negligence will always be caught by the enemy, such as now.

Thunder rumbled and rain poured down.

Outside the low cave, more than 100 black-clothed men held horizontal knives in their hands, their eyes showed cold light, and they approached the cave step by step.

The formation of 100 people is very particular, they spread out in a semicircle, the circle of about 60 people, the back of the 40 people are outside the circle of the string to build a bow, the tip of the arrow points directly to the hole, every inch of space at the entrance of the cave is within the range of the bow and arrow, anyone who breaks through the hole, even if they break through the circle formation, will be ruthlessly hit by the second bow and arrow defense line, obviously these people have the idea of killing everything, and do not plan to leave a living mouth.

The people in the cave were already asleep, unaware of the movement outside, while Li Daozheng and Zheng Xiaolou's moods became heavier and heavier.

Without warning, today is in a desperate situation!

At this time, the situation was very critical, hundreds of unknown enemies quietly approached the cave, less than five zhang away from the entrance of the cave, Li Su sent people to dig in advance of the four caves, the Li family's housewife and subordinates in the three caves were all asleep, the only remaining cave only Li Daozheng and Zheng Xiaolou were still awake, and what was even worse was that because of Xu Mingzhu's insistence, most of the hundred tribes in the family were sent by her to protect Li Su's safety, and the remaining subordinates who guarded the Li family were only about a dozen people, that is, plus Li Daozheng and Zheng Xiaolou, There are only twelve people in the cave who are proficient in the art of technical combat and killing, and there are only twelve people who can really fight in battle, but the enemy has a hundred people, with the situation of one enemy and ten, not to mention that the enemy is fully armed and prepared at this moment, but the Li family is unaware.

Li Daozheng and Zheng Xiaolou's faces were solemn, and the two of them already understood that tonight would be a bloody battle, and they might not be able to let everyone in the Li family retreat.

Taking advantage of the enemy's slow approach to the entrance of the cave step by step, Li Daozheng also bent his waist, walked to Zheng Xiaolou's side silently, and leaned into his ear and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll do it first, you take advantage of the chaos to go to other caves to wake people up, immediately lead them to flee for their lives, and go west, there is a forest ten miles away, hiding there can save your life somewhat......"

Zheng Xiaolou turned his head and glanced at Li Daozheng, his gaze was unruly, and a word simply burst out of his mouth: "No." ”

Li Daozheng was furious and shouted in a low voice: "Why don't you listen to the baby? Do you understand the rules of respecting the elders and the young? ”

Zheng Xiaolou didn't even bother to turn his head back this time, his eyes were fixed on the enemy who was gradually approaching the entrance of the cave, and he said lightly: "Your son calls me and I have to find a time when I am in a good mood, what can you call me?" I am a man and do things only according to my own good, regardless of dignity or inferiority. ”

Li Daozheng was even more angry, raised his hand and was about to slap him, and then reacted that it was really not the time to fight in the nest at this moment, so he snorted stupidly: "What has happened to the coward, and the Hou Ye, look at what subordinates have been found......"

The corners of Zheng Xiaolou's mouth twitched, and he said lightly: "What Uncle Li said just now is right, but it's better to do the opposite, I'll go out and drag them, and you take advantage of the chaos to lead your wife and them to the west to escape for your lives......"

Li Daozheng said angrily: "I am the head of the family, when will it be your turn to make up your mind?" ”

Zheng Xiaolou turned his head and looked at him deeply, then immediately turned his head and said softly: "Master Hou entrusts the lives of his father and wife to me, because he believes that I can protect you thoroughly, Uncle Li, I can't let him down." ”

Li Daozheng was stunned, and Zheng Xiaolou's voice fell, the person had rushed out like a sharp arrow off the string, and a jumping Tengchong had already rushed to the middle of the circle of the enemy outside the cave, with a wave of the long sword in his hand, a bloody head rose to the sky, and the enemy outside the cave was stunned by this sudden attack, from the leader to the sergeant, hundreds of people looked at Zheng Xiaolou without any reaction, as if they didn't believe their eyes, let alone how a killing talent could suddenly appear in this rainy night, Suddenly, he killed one of his robes, silent as a ghost.

The bloody head fell to the ground, and Zheng Xiaolou suddenly roared: "Enemy attack!" No one is allowed to go out of the cave, there are bows and arrows outside! ”

As the words fell, a snow-white light flashed, and another enemy's head was harvested, and Zheng Xiaolou rushed to another direction like a civet cat.

With Zheng Xiaolou's shouting, the inside and outside of the cave were suddenly in chaos, all the Li family's family members and subordinates in the cave woke up, and the enemy outside the cave also came back to their senses at this time, the captain's eyelids jumped, and his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, at this time the traces had been exposed, the surprise attack was ineffective, and he simply shouted with his throat: "Release the arrow!" Kill anyone on the spot! ”

Dozens of bowstrings buzzed, the rain of arrows poured into the cave, from time to time there was a muffled hum of the arrow and the frightened screams of the maid in the cave, mixed with the rumbling thunder, inside and outside the cave was a noisy cry, extremely chaotic.

As soon as the lieutenant's military order was issued, the circle had suddenly tightened, and the formation of sixty people rushed towards the four holes in an orderly manner, and the archers of the forty people behind continued to shoot arrows into the hole.

With the picture of the poor dagger, the ten Li family members in the cave also woke up, after all, it was a man who had been fighting for many years of life and death, although he was caught off guard, but he still did not panic, strictly obeyed Zheng Xiaolou's order, and scolded the maids and servants in the cave not to go out of the hole, looking for bedding and boxes to cover and block the arrows, taking advantage of the dark night after the lightning and the time when the archers changed arrows, ten people rushed out of the cave, drew their horizontal knives and killed the enemy close to the entrance of the cave.

**************************************************************************

East of Chang'an City, Yanxing Gate.

The gates of the city were closed, still as silent as usual, and there were rows of government soldiers standing in the arrow battlements at the head of the city, holding torches and staring at the darkness outside the city, the heavy rain had drenched the armor of the government soldiers, and the cold cold of late autumn was like an invisible steel needle piercing their bone marrow.

The general on duty at Yanxing Gate tonight is Wang Xi, the commander of Zuo Wuwei.

At three o'clock, in the rumbling sound of thunderstorms, there was a sudden noise of rustling outside the Yanxing Gate, and the soldiers holding torches high at the head of the city looked awe-inspired, and unconsciously clenched the spears and halberds in their hands, and were about to raise their voices to ask, a steady footstep came from behind, and the soldiers turned their heads and found that it was Wang Xi, the supreme general guarding the city gate tonight, followed by a group of generals and guards, about dozens of people, so the soldiers hurriedly saluted.

"Captain Wang, there is a strange sound two miles outside the city, do you lower the hanging basket and send two robes out of the city to investigate?" A fire captain hugs his fists.

Wang Xi is in his thirties, with an ordinary face, a smooth jaw, a lock of black beard on his lips, small and narrow eyes, and his gaze is not moving properly.

Hearing the report of the general, Wang Xi shook his hand unhurriedly: "There is no need to ask, the general has already obtained the order of the military department before nightfall, and tonight there are soldiers and horses transferred in the Zuotun guard, and the Zhonglang general Li Anyan will lead the army, we only need to defend the city, don't ask more." ”

The general looked at him suspiciously.

This is a big loophole. The mobilization of the army is an ordinary thing, and it can achieve the invincible heroic division of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not able to get by by waving a few spears on the school field and shouting a few kills, and the generals who know how to train the troops often train their soldiers to fight at night, attack the camp, and fight on horses, etc., which is not surprising.

However, no matter what kind of drill method, there is absolutely no reason to be so close to the city gate, and it is impossible for the military department to notify only one lieutenant, even if it is passing through the outside of the city, such a large army should at least march with torches, or send someone to inform the soldiers of the city head.

There is a rule for everything, especially the affairs of the army, it is even more strict, and the army drill also has strict rules, you can't go beyond the thunder pool, tonight the army outside the city is less than two miles away from the city, if the leader of the general orders the siege of the city, how much trouble will it cause? No leading general would dare to make such a move, unless...... He was really planning to rebel.

The fire chief at the head of the city sank, and hurriedly said: "Wang Duwei, General Zuo Tunwei's move is not in accordance with the rules, we must send someone out of the city to investigate, and immediately report this matter to General Zuo Wuwei......

Wang Xi's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "What are you panicking about?" This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which one who is not long-sighted dares to rebel? Zuo Tunwei is just passing by the city, are you still afraid that they will attack the city? ”

The fire chief is obviously a very serious person, and when he heard this, he said: "Wang Duwei, you can't say that, the last general believes that they definitely don't have the courage to rebel, but they have broken the rules, this matter must be reported to General Zuo Wuwei, otherwise everyone will follow suit in the future, maybe one day someone will dare to rebel and attack the city......"

A fierce color flashed in Wang Xi's eyes, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

As Wang Xi smiled, the generals and guards behind him also moved, and everyone pretended to observe the movement outside the city and scattered, gradually approaching the arrow battlement, and before they knew it, everyone was standing beside the guards guarding the city inside the arrow battlement.

"Captain Fang Huo insisted on reporting to the general, did he think that he would not be able to afford this matter?" Wang Xi sneered.

"The last general will not dare, but the life and the safety of the capital are in danger, and the last general will not dare to favoritism......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Fang Huochang suddenly felt a sharp pain under his ribs, and suddenly lowered his head, and found that there was a dagger inserted in his abdomen, the dagger was inserted very deeply, and the blade was no longer visible, only the handle was exposed, trembling with his breathing.

Fang Huochang raised his head, looked at Wang Xi in disbelief, his lips were open, and he was about to use his last strength to shout, but Wang Xi covered his mouth, at the same time, Fang Huochang's soldiers who defended the city in front and left and right also let out a muffled snort, one by one, they fell to the ground weakly, and after a while, the people still standing on the head of the city were already all Wang Xi's henchmen.

Looking at the corpses and blood all over the city, Wang Xi was expressionless, his eyes looked at the dark outside of the city, and waved his hand to the general.

"Shake the torch and tell General Li that the Yanxing Gate has been secured, and open the city gate for him after an hour of incense." (To be continued.) )
