Late at night.

A loud "boom" was accompanied by skyrocketing fire and black smoke, tearing apart the whole night.

The explosion took place in the wilderness not far from the Turkic camp, but there was no more disturbance in their barracks this time. Because he had already given them a "preventive shot" and given a notice.

Despite this, there is still fear and unsettling of people's hearts. All the Turks are speculating with fear - what the hell is going on?

In fact, the situation of the Oxidant himself was a hundred times worse than that of the sergeants in the camp. In order to test the effect of the explosion, he tethered two wounded and sick horses near the explosion site, and then everyone retreated, and used rockets to ignite the dead grass accumulated around them to detonate the explosives - this method was taught to Guo Yuanzhen by Xue Shao, and then Guo Yuanzhen told Du Xilu.

As a result, when the explosion occurred, the two waste horses were almost completely torn to shreds. A large pool of bloody horse intestines was thrown into the air, falling far away and smashing directly into the face of the stranger.

"Ahh - Ahhhh ”

As a military commander, he had never been so frightened. He yelled and jumped in panic, and his hands scratched and shook off the blurred flesh and stinking from his body. After a while, he was furious, because he found that none of his henchmen came forward to help, and all of them were lying on the ground trembling like ostriches in the desert, and some of them were scared out of their crotches and urine.

Instead, Guo Yuanzhen ripped off the cloak of one of the entourages and stepped forward to help him wipe it up and down.

"This ......" he swallowed dryly, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Guo Yuanzhen knew that he was trying to calm down in his face, because he was now stiff and pale, and his originally sunken blue eyes were about to protrude from his sockets - Guo Yuanzhen wanted to laugh in his heart, and it was not surprising to say that if it wasn't for Xue Shaoshuai's careful explanation to me, even I would have always thought that he really had some "ancient demons" hidden. It is not surprising that the Turks are far more ignorant and superstitious about ghosts and gods than we are.

"Ye Hu, let's go back and talk about it?" Guo Yuanzhen saw that he and his guards were like a group of frightened quails, so he kindly reminded him.

"Okay, okay...... Get back! The weak under his legs pushed Guo Yuanzhen away and didn't want him to help him, and reluctantly walked to his horse. was about to turn over and get on the horse, but he stepped on the air and fell.

Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Du Xilu onto the horse. Du Xilu smiled bitterly, and was embarrassed to turn his face to look at Guo Yuanzhen, and ran forward with a whip. Unexpectedly, the horse ran a few steps before he barked and jumped up like crazy, and took off the horse, who had never been in trouble with a horse for half his life, and then ran away.

"Brute! - Kill it for me!! He lay on the ground, slamming into the ground in a rage.

The guards hesitated and didn't dare to make a move. In the eyes of the Turks, horses are like important family members. Especially for a nobleman like Du Xilu, who dares to kill his beloved mount is tantamount to "killing his father and taking his wife".

Guo Yuanzhen snatched a bow from the nearby guard, and ran after the horse by a leap. Fortunately, although the horse ran fast, the course was very chaotic, and it only ran four laps, and did not run far. Guo Yuanzhen took his bow and shot arrows one after another in the midst of the gallop. After a few neighing sounds, the horse fell to the ground and struggled.

The guards were amazed by the eyes - the generals of the Tang Dynasty also had such wonderful archery skills!

"General Guo, good archery." With a sigh of admiration, he drew his scimitar and walked over to the wounded horse, gritted his teeth, and plunged a knife into its neck.

After doing this, he stood in a daze for a long time, and the blood on the knife had dried up before he came back to his senses.

Turning his head, Guo Yuanzhen was standing next to him.

"I didn't expect General Guo's archery skills to be so magical." He smiled reluctantly and said, "Disrespectful! ”

The Turks, who lived by hunting, always respected warriors, and whoever could practice good archery skills would be admired and respected by others. It is not against his heart to say this.

Guo Yuanzhen smiled faintly and said, "I have also practiced in Fengzhou in recent years. Practice martial arts with Xue Chuyu every day, if you don't want to practice archery well, it's difficult! ”

Speaking of the three words "Xue Chuyu", he shuddered coldly and said, "I heard that Xue Rengui died just after the last battle of Yunzhou. When he was dying, Xue Rengui passed the treasure bow he had used for many years to Xue Chuyu. In this battle of Yinchuan, our people saw this bow during the siege...... It's huge, and it's powerful. As long as the person who was hit by the arrow, half of them were nailed to the ground, and the other half was pierced by the arrow, leaving only a fist-sized hole in the body. ”

"Xue Gong." Guo Yuanzhen shook his head and said, "No one would want to face that bow. No one would want to compete with the Jade Crown General Xue Chuyu. ”

"General Yuguan, Xue Chuyu ......" Xuan Xi muttered these seven words, took a deep breath, and suddenly looked at Guo Yuanzhen.

Guo Yuanzhen waved his hand with a straight smile, "I know what Ye Hu wants to say, but it's better not to open his mouth." ”

"Why?"

"I want Xue Chuyu to betray and join the ......enemy," Guo Yuanzhen smiled and pointed to the war horse on the ground that was too dead to die, and said, "Unless it jumps up now and carries Ye Hu back to the camp." ”

Du Xilu felt very faceless, so he gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and walked to the barracks silently.

Guo Yuanzhen smiled secretly and followed.

No one dared to ride horses anymore, and the group all walked back to the camp. Of course, people are frightened and weak-hearted, and horses are no better than people.

After returning to the camp, he ordered someone to cook a pot of meat and put wine to suppress the shock. Seeing that the cook had brought a bunch of cleaned sheep intestines and was about to throw them into the pot, the usual favorite eater of sheep intestines was furious, rushed forward and whipped it violently.

The general and the guards didn't dare to persuade him, and he didn't stop until he pulled the cook to roll all over the ground and see blood, and then he kicked the pot of soup and meat with a hateful kick, "Get out - don't eat meat, change vegetables!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen laughed secretly, I was hurt by that big thunder, and I couldn't even eat the original grassland stew!

After drinking a whole urn of goat's milk wine, he finally gradually regained his calm. He called Guo Yuanzhen to sit down beside him, personally saluted him one after another, and drank several cups.

"General Guo, you said this thing...... What is it called? Du Xilu stared at Guo Yuanzhen and asked.

"This is the supreme military secret that Xue Shao has not revealed to anyone, how dare I inquire? I call it a big bomb mine myself. As for what Xue Shao called it, I don't know. Guo Yuanzhen pursed his lips and whispered, "This is the one I stole from." I hope that the explosion tonight did not alarm Xue Shao, otherwise the news will leak and I will never be able to go back. ”

"You don't have to go back." He said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Guo Yuanzhen blinked stunned, "What arrangements does Ye Hu have?" ”

"You just need to tell me how Xue Shao plans to use the big explosion mine against us." Du Xi shook his head, "Don't go back, stay here and help me." ”

Guo Yuanzhen was secretly happy - this cunning fox finally has a little trust in me!

"Say?" He stared at Guo Yuanzhen, his eyes full of eagerness.

Guo Yuanzhen understands his feelings. Just imagine, if he were to be a coward, I am afraid that he would be even more anxious than him to get rid of the terrorist threat of that "big explosion"!

"Let's put it this way!" He hurriedly said, "If General Guo is me, what are you going to do next?" ”

"In other words, if I were Ye Hu......" Guo Yuanzhen pondered, "The first thing I have to do is to move the camp back. Otherwise, when Xue Shao used a stone-throwing truck to drop countless large explosions from the top of the city, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Du Xiluo suddenly trembled, and the goat's milk wine in the wine glass spilled out, and Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly wiped him.

"Herald - Withdraw from the camp and retreat!"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly - hey, I can't even drink wine now!

Seeing that the general Zuo and the attendants were about to go out to deliver the order, Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly shouted: "Ye Hu is slow!" ”

"What's the matter with General Guo?" He asked in surprise.

"I just want to ask, where is Ye Hu going to move the camp?" Guo Yuanzhen asked.

Du Xi blinked, "Three or five miles back, that's all." ”

"This is still a palliative rather than a cure!" Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly, "Then if Xue Shao leads the army out of the city, using the shield array and the Mo knife as the city wall to cover in front, and then pushing out the stone-throwing cart later, it will still be able to hit our camp!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen's sentence "our camp" made Lu Xilu's heart very comfortable, and he knew that what Guo Yuanzhen said was very reasonable-the Tang Army's Mo Dao and Iron Shield Array were solid and murderous on the battlefield, and they were absolutely offensive and defensive. This golden combination in infantry has always been the most troublesome thing for the Turkic cavalry. If you use them to cover the catapult in front, it will indeed be a big problem!

"Then according to General Guo's opinion, what should our army do?" He asked.

Guo Yuanzhen said: "If I were Ye Hu, I would move the camp to the southwest of Qingyang Mountain. ”

"Ye Hu, you can't believe him!" The chief of the Tongluo tribe, Shena Si, seemed to have endured it for a long time, and then shouted loudly, "Guo Yuanzhen is a spy who has surrendered, he will kill us all!" ”

He smiled disapprovingly and walked up to Shenasi, "Then in your opinion, how will our army deal with that...... What about the big bomb mines? ”

Shena was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"Then you shut up." He walked up to Guo Yuanzhen again and asked Guo Yuanzhen with a smile, "General Guo, why did you move the camp to the western foot of Qingyang Mountain?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen was very calm, and said with a glance: "First, the terrain there is dangerous, and it is a battleground for soldiers. The cavalry can rush down according to the slope to kill the enemy coming out of the Yinchuan military fort, and can also hold back the enemy reinforcements from behind. ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, "Go on." ”

"Second, Qingyang Mountain is a rocky mountain, and there are quite a lot of rocks and rugged rocks all the way from here. Foot riders can go very smoothly, but Xue Shao's stone-throwing cart will definitely not be able to transport it, which is the key. Guo Yuanzhen said, "If he wants to transport it over, before he can stabilize the stone throwing cart, our cavalry will already rush down the slope in front of him." Even if he barely erected a few stone-throwing carts and threw them from low to high, how far could he go? ”

As soon as his eyes lit up, Shena Si immediately shouted: "There are a lot of trees in Qingyang Mountain, if Xue Shao attacks with fire, we will all become roast sheep!" ”

"In that case, won't you cut down mountains and trees to prevent enemy fire?" Du Xilu shouted in a deep voice, "Order, move to the western foot of Qingyang Mountain!" ”

It's dawn.

Xue Shao took off his "work clothes" full of black charcoal gray, washed them from head to toe, and then put on his dazzling bright light armor and Chu Hong robe again, and stood on the watchtower at the highest point of the Yinchuan Military Tun.

Behind him, a huge bright red Xue character handsome flag flew high. Beside him was Xue Chuyu, the jade-crowned general in silver armor and white robes.

Banner hunting, battle robes flying!

At this moment, almost everyone in the entire army was looking at these two men who were high up, like driving in the clouds and looking down on the common people.

A proud son of the sky, a peerless one.

As long as these two men stand together, they can always make all the Tang men who follow them high-spirited and enthusiastic!

At this moment, Xue Shao was using a pair of self-made binoculars to observe the Turkic people who had withdrawn from the camp and moved to the tun.

Xue Chuyu really wanted to borrow it to take a look, and he endured it for a long time. Finally, Xue Shao gave him the telescope and taught him how to see.

"Amazing!" Xue Chuyu was surprised, "The Turkic barbarian seems to be close in front of me, I can't help but want to pull out my sword!" ”

"Since they have all taken the initiative to go to their graves, you don't have to be anxious, fifth brother." Xue Shao smiled.

Xue Chuyu put down the binoculars in surprise, "What's the explanation?" ”

"The halberd was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed...... I'll take care of collecting the body. Xue Shao took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at the green Qingyang Mountain in his field of vision, and said lightly, "Qingyang Mountain, it is the big cemetery that I have already dug for them!" ”
