Chapter 208: Watching the Heavens at Night

"Guess? How many heads do you have, dare you guess? Li Jiancheng stopped, but did not look back, and said directly to Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, there is no joke in the army, you know, if the reinforcements do not come tonight, you will be guilty of death." ”

Xu Qing glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and returned: "Well, please ask the prince to kill the ministers again tomorrow, our reinforcements are coming at night, but I don't know which night it is." When the soldiers are ready, they eat early and rest well. ”

Li Jiancheng turned around at this time and said, "Okay, then look at it, where did you get such a big confidence." ”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has no self-confidence, but the minister once taught a person in Huguang, this method of reporting information. ”

Li Jiancheng stroked his palms and smiled at this time: "Okay, I scavenged out a golden idea of yours again, you, if you have any good way, you won't say anything if you don't cheat you." ”

Xu Qing was stunned, but he made up his mind, and still said his way of saying the flag. Li Jiancheng heard that it was a cloud mountain fog cover, he shook his head and asked, "Then the meaning of those black smoke just now, is it the night sneak attack?" ”

"No, no, no......" Xu Qing replied: "The meaning of those black smoke is just that they have come with 50,000 people and have already been stationed, but I guess that in order to avoid Xue Yantuo discovering them, they will definitely choose to attack at night." ”

Li Jiancheng and several other generals glanced at each other, only to see that those generals were all nodding, but Feng Li said: "In the army, there must be no negligence, in order to confirm that the people who come are really soldiers from the state, we should burn some black smoke and reply to them." If so, they replied, it means that the black smoke is really the Bingzhou army, or rather, the person who taught the flag language to General Xu. ”

As soon as Feng Li's words came out, the rest of the people nodded, and Li Jiancheng asked, "Xu Qing, can you reply to them?" ”

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare something for the ministers that can produce black smoke......

Then, Xu Qing let a few piles of smoke burn, each pile of different distances, representing flags and flags, the composition is that it can attack, and the enemy army is 70,000.

After a while, a wisp of black smoke came out of the distance, Li Jiancheng was overjoyed to see it, he just listened to Xu Qing's explanation, and knew that a wisp of black smoke meant: "Oh! ”。

Li Jiancheng laughed and said to those generals: "Okay, everyone in the whole army, bury the pot and cook, rest early, sleep with armor, and wait for the day." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, curling smoke rose from the city, and when Xue Yantuo saw this, he ignored the strange wisp of black smoke in front of him. Some of them thought to themselves, the one before was burned to the wet wood, right?

However, the ensuing burst of rice aroma made them unable to let go and ignore it. Ever since Xu Qing invented fried rice, people on the march have greatly improved their diet. A bowl of fried rice is placed in the pot, then a handful of snow is put in, and a few dried beef is put in, and it becomes a fragrant rice porridge. It's not easy to eat beef, you have to be here, and the soldiers at the border pass next to the prairie can eat it.

Beef rice porridge, beef rice porridge drunk by 10,000 people, that fragrance, headwind ticket power, not to mention that it is still in this windy wilderness. I saw that the Xue Yantuo people surrounding the Frost City all walked out and looked at what the Han people were doing in the city. There were also khans who ran out and drank the freedmen who stretched out their necks to look at them, and the slaves were whipped directly. The Khan's personal guards never understood the hardship of hunger, their food was distributed by the Khan, and at this time, they still had freshly killed mutton to eat.

Xu Qing said to several generals that he should beware of Xue Yantuo's people coming to attack the city at this time, and then he also sat down and boiled a pot to eat. Fortunately, the Xueyantuo did not come to attack. Even more fortunate for those slaves. The Lihe Freedmen began to think about running away.

The quiet night was quiet, and on the periphery of Xue Yantuo, 50,000 people approached silently. These 50,000 people are infantry, only carrying a steel knife and a light crossbow, and the general who leads the team is called Zhao Sheng, who is the same sect of Zhao Yuliang. And the reason why he knew the flag language was that Zhao Yuliang sent his son Zhao Hong to Bingzhou.

At this time, Hou Junji led this strong force to go around between the Xue Yantuo garrison and its headquarters, and only waited for the stragglers of the Xue Yantuo people to retreat back, and they could be broken in one fell swoop. If Hou Junji's army is strictly governed, ordinary people will not believe it, but if they see these 50,000 infantry lurking behind the butt of Xue Yantuo's tent, and they can still keep it quiet and silent, then no matter who they are, they will give it a thumbs up.

The real outbreak and end of war will never be a launching ceremony to announce the world, but will begin and end with the first drop of blood and countless lives. The battle between the two armies was the same, and the dull breath made all the Xue Yantuo people wake up from a nightmare!

In the midst of that nightmare, several more people broke into the tent where they were sleeping, and they slashed their skins, and blood splattered everywhere, cleanly. It's such a real dream! The hot blood, the sticky blood, the bloody blood, splashed on the face was as real as it was.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that this was not a dream!

"Ahh

I don't know who called out the loudest voice in his life, but then it stopped abruptly. Then, there were more screams and earth-shattering shouts...... The people in Xue Yantuo's camp began to envy those who fled while they had dinner.

In Frost City, Li Jiancheng looked at the surrounding Xue Yantuo barracks, all of them were on fire, and with a wave of his hand, two armies came out of the moat. The aim of these armies is even more famous, rushing straight towards the places where the sweat tents are.

The exact location of those sweat tents was naturally also seen by Xu Qing's observation of the sky at night. Li Jiancheng held the wall of this ice sand city with his hand, looked up at the starry sky, and asked, "Xu Qing, where is this star?" How can you tell where the sweat tent is? ”

Xu Qing's heart fluttered, and he took a step back, and Li Jiancheng shouted: "Stop, where are you running?" As he spoke, he hugged Xu Qing's shoulder, patted it, and laughed: "Hahaha, Xu Qing, you are really my blessing of the Tang Dynasty hahaha!" I knew that with you this time, I wouldn't lose this battle. ”

"Uh," Xu Qing struggled, Li Jiancheng was so enthusiastic, Xu Qing was really uncomfortable, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation, the minister just wants to finish the battle and go back quickly, there is no one in charge of Xuanwu Sect yet,"

Li Jiancheng held Xu Qingdao and said, "You are still the guard of Xuanwu Gate?" Didn't your father remove you? ”

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Withdraw me, why do you withdraw me?" I didn't break anything, I also found the bones of the former Sui General Yin Shishi. ”

"Luck, luck," Li Jiancheng let go of Xu Qing and said: "Luck against the sky!" ”

Xu Qing was stunned, against the sky? What kind of joke do you dare to set up a master like this? Xu Qing hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister does not dare to go against the sky, please ask the prince to be cautious." ”

Li Jiancheng sighed, found that there was something wrong in his words, and hurriedly apologized to Xu Qing, it seems that the previous mistake was unintentional. Xu Qing was also strange, this Li Jiancheng waved his hand to order the soldiers in the city to go out, as if he had changed a person.
