"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky. The twenty brothers here were all drawn by God. Don't repay me when you get rich in the future, don't come to me if you suffer a loss, this is all your fate to have this reason, Zhang Tuan is out of the ranks. ”

The night owl began to read the notes on the tray one by one, the names written on them. From beginning to end, there are twenty people in total. The twenty capable night owls also came out of the ranks, and then stood together on the other side. The rest of the night stalkers in the house said hello to them, and the night stalker also opened a jar of wine himself, filled all the twenty bays in front of him, and then gave them to the twenty night stalkers who were going out of the city to listen to the information in turn.

Hurrying all the way, Li Wenyuan and the commander of the 33rd Division led more than 5,000 people from the headquarters, and finally came to the outskirts of Zhangye County, and hid in a valley on the outskirts of the city. The valley where the army was hiding was about a hundred paces away, and there were all kinds of open posts and secret posts, as well as military owls who were constantly patrolling back and forth. After arranging all this, the commander of the 33rd Division came back to find Li Wenyuan to restore his life.

Having said that, the reason why this valley was found so cleanly was because most of the soldiers and officers of the 33rd Division were locals of Zhangye County, so they were more familiar with the geography of this place, so they found this valley that had not been marked on military maps.

After the commander of the 33rd Division reported his arrangements to Li Wenyuan, he stretched out his hand to help Li Wenyuan get off the horse, and then asked Li Wenyuan: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang, now that our army has come here, and further forward is Zhangye County." You see, from here, you can already vaguely see the gate tower of Zhangye County.

And along the way, we have disposed of almost seventy or eighty tails in a row. Presumably, at this time, those people in Zhangye County should still absolutely not know that we have reached their noses, what should we do next, you just give orders. ”

Li Wenyuan nodded, and was very satisfied with the various open posts and secret posts arranged by the commander of the 33rd Division. At the same time, along the way, he also has a new understanding of the ability of military lords. This made him can't help but raise his prediction of what the military lord can do during the confrontation between the two armies.

Li Wenyuan took the military map from the sergeant next to him, then pointed to a point on the military map and said to the commander of the 33rd Division in front of him: "Come and see, Zhangye County is a boxy city that is due south and north. Because the north was protected against the attacks of the Turks, there was no gate for exiting the city, but a thick and strong wall. There are two gates on each of the east, west, and south, but there is also a magnificent gate on the south side dedicated to welcoming the emperor and dignitaries.

However, the gate is not usually opened, because it is too time-consuming and laborious to open and close once, so if there are no VIPs coming, it is enough to go through the remaining six side gates. According to common sense, whether we are raiding or just swaggering in the past, we will definitely alarm the night owls in Zhangye County.

How they will flee when the time comes, we do not know. Do you see here, are there any suitable places to hide troops near these six gates? I hope that you will be able to set up an ambush outside these six gates, and although it is unlikely that these night owls will pass through here, we must try to be sure that we will catch them all, so that we will not be in trouble for all the days. ”

After the commander of the 33rd Division took the military map, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then talked a few words with the deputy staff officer next to him and several generals who were very familiar with the geographical environment here, and then returned the map to Li Wenyuan, and then pointed out a few places on it, and said to Li Wenyuan:

"His Royal Highness King Tang, look here, here, and here, these places can be used to hide soldiers inside. Although there is still some distance from these city gates, at least we can shoot with bows and muskets as soon as we find them, and with the performance of our weapons, we can cover this area.

The rest of the places are more convenient, thanks to the reforestation policy that you have been advocating to combat the yellow sands. There are a large number of trees and jungles on both sides of the official roads outside these city gates, and our army can even directly ambush on both sides of the official roads without being discovered by the people in the official roads. ”

Li Wenyuan listened to what the commander of the 33rd Division said to him in front of him, and then looked at the several places he pointed out for himself on the map. After all, Zhangye County was the first county government he conquered after raising troops, so he was barely familiar with the terrain around Zhangye County. Although he can't cover everything, at least he can think of the position mentioned by the commander of the 33rd Division in front of him.

After listening to the words of the commander of the 33rd Division in front of him, Li Wenyuan was also quite satisfied. After all, no one is better suited to do the blockade of the city than the people in the army. Therefore, as a layman, there is no need to lead these insiders to do insider things, and professional matters will be handled by professional personnel, which will never be wrong. Outsiders leading insiders will only make things worse. However, Li Wenyuan still had some things to tell the commander of the 33rd Division.

"In addition to sending people to blockade, or secretly monitor the official road after these six convenient doors come out. It is best to send some more people to bury more pottery urns around the area of Zhangye County. I suspect that in addition to these six convenient doors, there are probably one or two secret passages for them to leave Zhangye County from the covers.

So once the next step begins, let some soldiers use the method of listening to hear if there is activity underground. After all, if more than 5,000 people blocked the six gates, blocked the water in the siege of Zhangye County, and allowed these night owls to escape, it would be really a bit embarrassing to say it.

Other than that, you arranged everything else very well, and I am very satisfied. But the ultimate goal that determines how satisfied I am with you this time is to either capture you alive or carry the corpse of the Night Stalker, which is what satisfies me. Got it? ”

While explaining the task to the commander of the 33rd Division, Li Wenyuan took off the heavy armor he was wearing outside and put on a close-fitting soft armor with his robe on the outside, and was ready to start the next step of his activities.
