Chapter 500: An Encounter Under the Cover of Night

Yang Xiuqing followed Hong Xuanjiao's advice. led the soldiers to chase Li Zhen's army, and at the same time waited for the soldiers who were looking forward for news. When the soldiers who inquired about the news returned, Yang Xiuqing immediately stopped the soldiers from advancing, and then asked for news.

The soldier reported: "King Qidong, Li Zhen's army is half an hour away from us. If the army was chasing at full speed, and the soldiers led by Li Zhen were also hurrying at the usual marching speed, it was possible to catch up. But if Li Zhen got the news of our pursuit and ordered his army to flee at full speed, he would definitely not be able to catch up. ”

Hong Xuanjiao snorted and interjected: "As long as you are willing to pursue, nothing is impossible." King Dong, give the order to pursue! ”

She looked at Yang Xiuqing affectionately, extremely soft.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing's heart fluttered, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Hong Xuanjiao's body. At this time, Hong Xuanjiao had already put on dried clothes, not clothes with meat, but her bewitching body was still vividly displayed, attracting Yang Xiuqing's attention. Yang Xiuqing suppressed the desire in her heart and shook it: "The army has stopped for the time being, there is no need to pursue." ”

"Ahh

Hong Xuanjiao exclaimed in surprise and said, "You have already agreed to pursue Li Zhen, why did you go back on your word?" Hong Xuanjiao spoke aggressively, and her questioning tone made Yang Xiuqing very embarrassed, and her desire disappeared cleanly.

Yang Xiuqing, as the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is above 10,000 people under one person, and he is powerful.

At this moment, he was bumped into by Hong Xuanjiao in front of everyone, and his face was hot.

Yang Xiuqing was dissatisfied in his heart, his expression became serious, his eyes stared at Hong Xuanjiao like a knife, and he shouted in a deep voice: "No matter what you do, you must have a charter, and you must plan and then act in order to be invincible." This king listened to your suggestion and ordered the pursuit, because this king wanted to see if he could catch up with Li Zhen? Now that he has received specific information and weighed the pros and cons, this king believes that it is not in line with the pursuit, so he naturally has to stop, and there is no backtracking. ”

"War is not child's play, and it cannot be emotional. The combat effectiveness of both sides is equal, and even if they catch up with Li Zhen's army, our soldiers are a tired division and are not suitable for combat. Besides, Li Zhen is not a fool, he will not wait for us to catch up, he will definitely escape. We have to catch up, and there are difficulties. ”

"Now that we know Li Zhen's movements, as long as the scouts keep inquiring about the news, we can determine where Li Zhen has gone, and then lead the army to pursue. If you follow your thoughts, now you are desperately chasing after you, Li Zhen has already escaped. You are the one who commands the army, how can you ignore the overall situation? ”

After saying something, Yang Xiuqing said sonorously and powerfully.

After Hong Xuanjiao listened, her face lost her brilliance, and she snorted softly: "What is the best plan for the East King?" ”

Yang Xiuqing said without giving an inch: "Don't dare to be a clever strategy, there is a way, you just need to wait and see." ”

Hong Xuanjiao stopped talking, and could only watch the army stop.

……

Li Zhen withdrew with his soldiers, and the speed of the journey was not fast. When the scouts sent by Yang Xiuqing detected Li Zhen's movements, Li Zhen immediately became alert. The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion under Huang Qiang scattered out and were responsible for finding out the news of Yang Xiuqing, and they got the situation of Yang Xiuqin's attack and handed it over to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen knew the basic situation of Yang Xiuqing, and knew that Yang Xiuqing led more than 10,000 people to kill violently, and these soldiers were well-equipped. If the two sides fight hard, the biggest loss must be himself.

Li Zhen immediately made a decision and led his soldiers to kill Longtan Town. The three towns of Dongyang, Xiashu and Longtan are all short of troops, and no matter which one they approach, they are all a threat to the other party.

Li Zhen led the army in the direction of Longtan Town, and the news reached Yang Xiuqing's ears.

Yang Xiuqing got the news of Li Zhen and smiled coldly, without the slightest expression of surprise, nor did he make any movements, just let the soldiers recharge their energy and raise their spirits.

……

The sun is setting, and the sky is red.

Li Zhen asked the army to stop and look for a camp to spend the night. The camp was located on a wide road, which occupied a large part of the road, dividing the road into two parts, like a large checkpoint standing on the road. Whoever wants to pass through the road must pass through Li Zhen's barracks.

At this moment, Huang Qiang and Long Xi were standing in the tent.

Huang Qiang looked worried, and said solemnly: "Dashuai, when we retreated during the day, Yang Xiuqing's scouts kept following us and kept inquiring about our situation. Now that it is getting late, it is almost night, and Yang Xiuqing is likely to lead the army to raid. If you don't have any defense, it's easy to be caught off guard! ”

Long Yu also said: "Dashuai, I think we must first get rid of the scouts outside in order to eliminate the hidden dangers." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Do you think I forgot to arrange? ”

The two looked at each other, and then looked at Li Zhen with their eyes brushed together, with puzzled looks in their eyes, but they both nodded.

Li Zhen shook his head and chuckled: "How can I not care about such an important matter?" Well, don't talk nonsense with you. Huang Qiang, you order the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to attack and eliminate the Taiping Army spies around the camp, leaving no one behind, to ensure that our news is not leaked. Long Xi, you go to the camp to convey my orders and let the soldiers ......"

After some arrangement, Long Xi and Huang Qiang nodded convincingly, and then said goodbye and left.

……

The moon is like a disk, hanging in the sky.

The cold and bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the night was covered with a layer of silver white, hazy, and beautiful. In addition to the soldiers on patrol, the rest of the soldiers in the camp have rested, and there are not many soldiers on patrol, about more than 100 people. The soldiers patrolled back and forth in the camp, very vigilant.

"Chirp! Chirp!!! ”

Around the road, the sound of insects chirping one after another sounded.

Five miles away from the camp, a large army slowly approached.

This army was the army led by Yang Xiuqing, and the black-pressed soldiers did not use torches, but only hurried with the help of the moonlight projected by the disc-like moon in the sky. Hong Xuanjiao followed beside Yang Xiuqing, looking excited, and her eyes were full of excitement. The thought of being able to be ashamed of herself made her feel full of energy and strength.

……

Camp, in the big tent.

Huang Qiang stood in front of Li Zhen and reported: "Marshal, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion have sent back news just now that it has been determined that the army led by Yang Xiuqing is less than five miles away from us. ”

"Haha, is it finally here?"

Li Zhenluo stood up and said, "Follow me out of the camp and prepare to meet our Dongwang." ”

Li Zhenxing rushed out of the camp tent, asked the soldiers to bring stools, and sat in the camp with golden knives. The thirteen guards of the dragon group led by Long Xi surrounded Li Zhen and protected Li Zhen's safety. Torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the area around the official road as if it were daylight. The resting soldiers also came out and stood neatly behind Li Zhen.

ps: The second shift, I am very tired from work today, and there are only two shifts. The update was unstable, and Xiaodong apologized. Regarding the update time, I will roughly say that there will be a change at 12 o'clock in the morning, and if there is no update after half an hour at 12 o'clock in the evening, there will be no update. Before 8 o'clock in the morning, there is usually a change, if there is no update after 8 o'clock, don't wait, because I go to work after 8 o'clock, it is impossible to write a manuscript. Leave work at 6 p.m., and evening updates are generally before 10 p.m. If you don't have this point, don't wait. Let me make it clear, so that everyone will not be anxious.
