Sha Zilong pressed Wang Sansheng's head to the ground, in the distance, several Jianshen cavalry were passing in front, the great plain under the moonlight was unobstructed, Sha Zilong and Wang Sansheng were lying on the ground, only hoping that those Jianshen would look at it from a distance, and only treat themselves as a small mound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jian's cavalry didn't notice the two people lying on the ground in the wasteland, and left straight away. Sha Zilong raised his head, looked around vigilantly, and then whispered, "Sansheng, it's okay." Let's go. ”

Wang Sansheng slowly got up from the ground and said: "Big brother, why are there so many dog tartars, the closer we get to Beacon Mountain, the more we will not be able to reach Beacon Hill before dawn." ”

Sha Zilong looked up at the stars and moon in the sky, and then said, "Before dawn?" I won't be able to get there until dawn the day after tomorrow. We were to Beacon Hill last time, and we had to pass through a forest on the road ahead, do you remember? ”

Wang Sansheng nodded and said, "Remember, big brother, do you mean that we should go to that forest first to hide?" ”

"Well, I reckon we'll be able to walk into the woods tonight, and that's pretty much it. During the day, he hid in the woods. I don't think Jianshen will have nothing to do and go into the woods to search. "Sand Dragon Road.

……

Hong Chengchou summoned several of his generals overnight to discuss the battle situation, and everyone was in a mess in the military tent.

"My lord, now that the back village is lost, the back road has been cut off, and the grain and grass cannot be transported. This place has become a place of death, and you can't stay for long! Adults need to make a decision early! Chief soldier Tang Tong said loudly.

"Yes, my lord, the enemy has just captured Houzhai, and we haven't had time to dig a trench at this time, if we don't break through again, we won't be able to get out when Jianshen has dug a long trench. The grain route is broken, and it will be absolutely difficult for our army to last. Please also make up your mind as soon as possible and break through at night! Chief Soldier Mako fell to his knees and said loudly.

Hong Chengchou looked around at the other people in the military tent, and then asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao looked at each other, and Wu Sangui stepped forward and said, "Master Inspector, the junior general has something to say." ”

"General Wu, please speak." Hong Chengchou said.

"The youngster feels that it is extremely inappropriate to break through overnight. Today, our army was fighting the enemy for a day, and the soldiers were extremely tired, and they were afraid that they would not be able to fight without resting for a night. The youngster thinks that it is good to break through early tomorrow morning. Wu Sangui said.

"General Wu, the soldiers are very fast! If the enemy dug out a long trench overnight, it would be too late! Tang Tong said loudly.

Hong Chengchou stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, looking hesitant.

"Your Excellency." Cao Bianjiao also stepped forward and said.

"General Cao, please speak." Hong Chengchou said.

"Master Inspector is also an old man, so he naturally knows the drawbacks of this night battle." Cao Bianjiao said, "Fighting at night will inevitably lead to chaos. ”

"It's the same at night." Marco shouted, "That's how easy it will be for us to break out!" My lord, give the order to break out overnight. Or it's too late! ”

"We can break out at night, but what when it's dawn?" Cao Bianjiao first stared at Ma Ke and asked, then turned to Hong Chengchou and said, "Master Overseer, if I were the commander of Jianxuan, I would definitely only use some small troops to entangle us at night and create chaos. Anyway, before dawn, we can't run back to Xingshan, Tashan, or Beacon Mountain. Moreover, when the siege broke through overnight, the army was in a mess, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and they would not be able to find the soldiers. At this time, Jianshen put in the army that had rested all night, Jianshen has horses, and he can easily catch up with us, but our army is tired and chaotic, how can he resist Jianshen? I'm afraid that under the First World War, I will become a powder. My lord, wait until dawn, but in one night, Jianxuan can dig a long trench so quickly? Then in the daytime, there was a hard battle, but there was a little more certainty of breaking through. And it is prominent, and it can still leave an army that can fight for the imperial court. If we break through at night, mess up the team, and be beaten by Jianzhi during the day, even if we can run back, how many soldiers can run out? ”

Wu Sangui knew that Cao Bianjiao meant that he was reluctant to let go of the soldiers under him, because he threw a lot of money at these soldiers. Wu Sangui himself is the same, these members of his family are not easy to come by, if they break through at night, they will definitely run away, and then after dawn, after being beaten by the Qing army that has been formed, there may not be one of the ten people left. These family members are the foundation of Wu Sangui's status, if there are no family members, what is he Wu Sangui? So Wu Sangui also stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, now that my Ming Dynasty's battleable army is basically here, if it breaks through overnight, the young general thinks that when the time comes, there may not be one or two out of ten." So I'm in danger! The youngster also supports a night's rest, and it is not too late to break through tomorrow morning. Break through early tomorrow morning, and the youngster is willing to be the striker! ”

Cao Bianjiao also followed: "The young general is also willing to take the lead in the charge and open the passage for the army." ”

Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao's opinions are obviously very much in line with Hong Chengchou's intentions. Hong Chengchou knew that this battle had been lost now, but he still hoped that he would not lose too badly and not lose all the capital of the imperial court. So he nodded and said, "In today's battle, the soldiers have worked hard, and so are the enemy troops. Tonight, they couldn't dig a long trench like that. This official feels that it is not too late to break through early tomorrow morning. The generals can go back to their camps to prepare first, and tomorrow morning, listen to the old man's orders and break through together. ”

"Overseer!" Ma Ke wanted to say something, but Hong Chengchou said with a blank face: "General Ma should not only think about himself, but also think more about the Ming Dynasty and the Holy One." ”

Tang Tong also wanted to speak, but after hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he didn't make a sound, but just followed everyone to receive the order, and went out of the account.

Back in his own barracks, Tang Tong called all the generals of his family together: "You all know the current situation, our back road has been cut off by Jianxuan. If we wait for the grate to build a long trench, we will all be dead. I proposed to the supervisor to break through overnight, but the supervisor listened to Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui's words and wanted to delay the breakthrough until dawn tomorrow. Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao also said that they were willing to be the striker, Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao on the dog day, what idea did they play, Lao Tzu still didn't know? Wu Sangui and his father Wu Xiang, that old dog's day, the best kung fu is to escape, when he was in Daling River, he ......"

"General, this guy from Guan Ningjun is not the most good thing, I don't know how many people have been pitted over the years. They play strikers tomorrow? Lord, their families all have horses, and when they get out of the circle, they will run away as soon as they are ready to mount their horses, and use us to drag the house, and the ......" shouted one of the householders.

"General, that Cao Bianjiao is also from Guan Ningjun, they must have colluded. Guan Ningjun is the best at tricking people, and this time he must be pitting us again......" The other also shouted.

"What shouting!" Tang Tong said angrily, "Lao Tzu still doesn't know the ghost eyes of these guys? Tell me, what should Lao Tzu do now? ”

"General, if you want me to say, let's just go first tonight." A family member said, "When we leave, the others will definitely come out, and Jian Yan will try his best to block them, where can he take care of us?" And this is not far from Xingshan Fort and Beacon Mountain, we ran faster, ran to Xingshan Fort in one go, and then went to Beacon Hill to get on the boat, and ran out. ”

"If the imperial court ......," Tang Tong hesitated a little.

"General, as long as you still have soldiers in your hands now, where can the court really be? If it really happened, Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City should have been killed a long time ago! Besides, when the hour is over, it is considered morning. A family said.

"That's good! Grandma's, you are not benevolent, and neither is Lao Tzu...... Let our people better prepare, we will break through when the time comes! ”

……

Sha Zilong and Wang Sansheng had already entered a large forest. The tall canopy of the trees blocked the sky, and it was dark during the day, and at night it was almost impossible to see the five fingers. Sha Zilong explored the way with the spear in his hand, pulled Wang Sansheng with the other hand, and touched the edge of a big tree.

"Brother Sansheng, can you climb a tree?" Sand Dragon asked.

"Yes." Wang Sansheng said.

"We climbed up from this tree. Crawl in the dark. Hide in the trees all night, God knows what's in the woods. The sand dragon slung the spear on his back and climbed up with the trunk of the tree.

"It's a pity that I ran in a hurry and didn't bring a fire sickle." Wang Sansheng complained in a low voice, and then climbed up.

The two of them climbed higher and higher.

"Brother Sansheng, come up again, your place is not high enough." Sha Zilong said.

"Big brother, it's already very tall, at least two feet tall, there is a big branch here, it's very comfortable to sit on." Wang Sansheng said.

"There are tigers in the woods here." Sha Zilong said, "The eyes of a tiger, no matter how dark they are, you can see people." Although the tiger can't climb the tree, it can jump to more than three feet high. Running over, rushing a few steps along the trunk of the tree, you can go up to four or five feet high. If you are not afraid of death, you will leave your face. ”

After saying this, the sand dragon continued to climb on it.

"Big brother, you wait, I'll come up." Wang Sansheng also climbed up.

The two of them climbed to a high place, where the canopy was much thinner, and the moonlight could shine in a little, barely visible. The sand dragon pinned the spear to one branch, and then grabbed it on one branch and caught it on the other. Then he tied himself to the tree with a belt.

"Sansheng, you also tie yourself up so that you don't fall off when you take a nap." Sand Dragon Road.

Time passed quickly, and Wang Sansheng had just taken a nap when he was woken up.

"Big ......" Before he could say anything, his mouth was covered by the sand dragon.

"Three wins, a tartar is coming. Don't let them find out. Sha Zilong lowered his throat and leaned into Wang Sansheng's ear and said.

Wang Sansheng woke up immediately, he nodded, indicating that he understood what Sha Zilong meant, and then he also put his mouth to Sha Zilong's ear and whispered: "Big brother, where is Tartar?" ”

"It's down there, presumably ambushing someone. The leaves of this tree are dense and high, and we do not move, and they do not see us from below...... Well, you see, it's my Ming army over there......"
