Li Hanguang frowned and returned to his tent, and the snake slave dressed as a personal soldier gently took off his crown and hat and hung it aside, and asked casually: "Looking at the look of the official, could it be that General Yelu is going to do something that is not in line with the official's wishes." ”

Li Hanguang shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that General Yelu decided to raid Shuitou City after the Song people fell asleep in the second half of the night, and I also suggested that he first make the illusion of retreating overnight to confuse the Song people, otherwise the Song people will be on guard even at night." But I was thinking that even if we succeeded, with the combat power and terrifying weapons shown by this Song army, our army would suffer heavy losses, and even if Shuitou City was captured, the king of the Southern Courtyard and the imperial court would probably not be credited again. ”

The snake slave's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "The official is reasonable, now that the siege losses are so heavy, it is better for the officials to plan early." ”

Li Hanguang sighed and said: "Song Guo's actions this time are very different from the past, although the person in charge of Zhending Mansion is Han Jiang, but looking at Han Jiang's past actions, he does not have such great courage, nor does he have this ability, Guo Kui's ability is on the battlefield, he can't think of such a big strategy, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, all the plans of the Song people this time may be done by Zhang Bin, the supervisor of Zhending Mansion, and Zhang Bin is the main one in Shuitou City, no matter what happens in Shuitou City in the end, if I can kill or capture Zhang Bin alive, it will be a great achievement." ”

A cold light flashed in the depths of the snake slave's eyes, but the smile on his face became more and more gentle, and he chuckled: "The official is far-sighted, and he must be right. ”

After a pause, the snake slave said: "The official has worked hard for a day, and the concubine has cooked meat porridge for the official, which will be almost cooked, so this will be served to the official." ”

"Go ahead! After this battle is over, I will seek famous doctors to cure hidden diseases, and then I will take you as a concubine. Li Hanguang looked at the seductive figure of the snake slave, but he was powerless.

The snake slave agreed, as he often does these days, with both hands leveled to the left chest, the right hand pressed the left hand, the right leg bent back, the knee bent, and the head bowed, giving Li Hanguang a very standard scholarly woman's gift, coupled with a soft and glutinous voice, from the perspective of its temperament, it is clearly the most standard kind of lady, as long as she is a scholar or a person with a little knowledge, she will immediately think that she is from a Confucian family or a scholarly family, which is why Li Hanguang has never doubted the beautiful woman he rescued from the bandits.

Li Hanguang's tent was on the west side of the Liao camp, and there was a raised hill next to it, and the snake slave's stove and meat porridge were on this small hill, and the snake slave passed by a group of traveling sentinels and fixed sentries, came to the small hill, opened the pot and took a look, and then added another piece of firewood to the stove, but in the process of adding firewood, something in his hand fell into the stove.

The next moment, a strange thing happened, the flame in the furnace turned blood-red, the furnace was temporarily built of stone, and there was no cover on all sides, and from a distance it was a ball of blood, which was very dazzling.

The blood-colored flame lasted for more than a dozen breaths before it returned to normal, and although some sentinels saw the difference in the flames here, they didn't think much about it at all.

The snake slave tasted the porridge, extinguished the fire, and then carried the porridge into Li Hanguang's tent.

Zhang Bin stood at the head of the city, looked up at the gloomy night sky, and at his feet, there was a bunch of blood-stained soldiers with their eyes closed, leaning against the pheasant moat with a loud snoring sound, falling asleep, they were hurrying to recover their strength.

Zhi Kerou walked over with light steps to report the losses to Zhang Bin: "Supervising the army, today we killed 172 people in one day, and the cumulative losses these days are 2,781 people, and now there are more than 7,000 people left in our army, but there are more than 300 wounded soldiers, and they can't re-enter the battle in a short time." ”

This ratio can be called proud in front of anyone, but Zhang Bin was on the battlefield and watched more than 2,000 people die with his own eyes, even if everything was expected, but there was still no joy.

"How many arrows and gunpowder packs are there?" Zhang Bin asked the question he was most concerned about.

Zhi Kerou said in a deep voice: "There are not many feather arrows, there are more than 10,000, and there are still thirty-seven gunpowder packs that the prison army personally led people to make. In addition, more than half of the stone thrower was damaged, and there were no more materials in the city suitable for building a stone thrower. ”

Zhang Bin took a light breath with a heavy expression, nodded, and was about to say something, when Han Sanlang hurriedly came and saluted Zhang Bin: "The third stall head, the shadows in the Liao camp sent news by firelight, and the subordinates didn't know what they meant. ”

"What kind of fire?" Zhang Bin perked up and asked in a deep voice.

Long before leaving Zhending Mansion, he had already agreed with the snake slave through a secret letter to the secret code, but in order to protect the snake slave, he didn't say anything specific to anyone, but just asked Han Sanlang to send twelve people from the pacification department to keep an eye on the Liao army camp for twelve hours a day, especially at night, as long as there is any abnormality, he must report to him as soon as possible.

Han Saburo hurriedly said: "When the Liao camp was close to the western position, a blood-colored fire suddenly appeared, which lasted for fifteen breaths. ”

Zhang Bin pondered for a moment, his expression suddenly froze, and then he sneered: "I'm afraid the Liao army will attack at night tonight........."

Zhemuqiu personally led several elite scouts with outstanding eyesight to stand on the lookout tower of the city wall, observing the Liao army camp in the distance outside the city.

At a certain moment, Orimuqiu suddenly discovered that there were ant-like black shadows in the Liao army leaving their camp in batches.

"Prison army, general, there is movement from the Liao thief!" Zhemuqiu turned his head and shouted to Zhang Bin and Zhe Kerou, who were resting in the building, that in the army, Zhemuqiu and Zhekerou cannot be commensurate with father and son, but must be commensurate with their military positions.

"Liao thieves have attacked the city?" Zhi Kerou ran out of the city tower in three steps and two steps, and carefully observed the Liao army camp.

"General Huiyu, there are some Liao people who seem to be retreating, not attacking the city." Oriki Qiu added.

"That Yelu Dagu is very cunning, if it weren't for the news from the shadow son of the third stall, we would probably be confused by it and take it lightly." Han Saburo was extremely curious about the shadow son who followed Li Hanguang in the Liao army, but he never understood how this shadow Zhang Bin was inserted.

Zhi Kerou, who had carefully observed for a long time, sneered: "That's right, the Liao people are really cunning, they retreated from horses, not people!" Oriki Qiu, you have to learn more to distinguish. ”

Orimu Qiu said solemnly: "Yes! Checkmate. ”

Han Saburo added: "The retreat of the Liao people is indeed just a war horse, and there are not many cavalry accompanying them. ”

Zhi Kerou said again: "These days, I see that the mounts of the Liao people have lost fat a lot. ”

"It's not normal if you don't lose fat." Zhang Bin said, "In an ordinary year, how can Liao thieves send troops in winter." The reason why the Liao people were forced to fight with us in the winter this time was also counted in it, and after this battle, the Liao thieves did not know how many horses they would die. ”
