Xue Rengui secretly looked around and lowered his voice, but his tone was still indignant: "This is only to blame our general for some bad idea, it's not good to fight with others openly, but to engage in a sneak attack, or such a sneak attack in the middle of the night, then Jieli must have been scared away, they didn't make any preparations, they must have fled in a panic, as if we were suddenly sleeping, and suddenly someone poured a basin of cold water on you, you will also panic Jieli If you know that we are coming to fight, where will you flee if you are prepared, if this is the case, Then this war will be much cooler. ”

Niu Zhongren raised his head and thought for a while: "Brother Xue's metaphor is really appropriate, Jieli is really like being sprayed with cold water by us, but Brother Xue doesn't have to worry, this war has just started, it won't end so soon, isn't Jieli still dead, this war will continue, there are more opportunities in the future, I'm afraid that Brother Xue won't be able to resist it, think about it, Jieli now knows that we are coming, he will definitely be prepared, and when the war starts in the future, it will definitely be a bloody battle, not as sneaky as now, Isn't it time for Brother Xue to kill him? ”

Xue Rengui thought about it carefully, and suddenly grinned: "It's really like this when I heard you say this, haha, it seems that it is not a bad thing to be disappointed this time, at least I have reminded Jieli."

"I didn't think your big head was sometimes quite useful, and you weren't stupid at all."

The stupid big man was immediately dissatisfied, with a stinky face, and it didn't take long for him to laugh again, and Xue Rengui regretted what he had just said.

"What are you two doing, whether you can go or not, let's go around the city together and see if there are any Turkic soldiers." Su Dingfang floated over like a ghost, he was not scary, his words were very useful, Xue Rengui and the stupid big man immediately smiled and nodded, and the two followed the street not far from Su Ding's direction.

For these killers, it is very uncomfortable to take down Dingxiang without a single effort, but for Lin Fan, who is so comfortable, this is a good thing, although he has also prepared for the logistics medical team for a long time.

But he did not feel sorry for this kind of well-prepared thing, and he preferred that these preparations should never be used, and that he would just mess around in the barracks until the end of the war, and then happily go home to reunite with his family.

In the barracks, Lin Fan was in a good mood, and the others were not good, they all came to kill Jieli, but they didn't expect that this villain actually escaped from the battle, he was so angry.

Erdan complained in front of the veteran with a stinky face, although the veteran was also very happy, but he still comforted Erdan with the attitude of an elder.

The other government soldiers were also lifeless, looking at the gloomy faces of these people, Lin Fan could only sigh lightly and shake his head and get into his camp, I don't know what time it is, get a good night's sleep first

As night fell, the sky darkened again, and the vast grassland was only a small piece of flat land where the fire was glittering, and there was an army stationed here, and the soldiers were not yet sleepy, except for a few who stood guard, everyone else was doing their own thing, or standing, or walking, or lying, each with his own thoughts.

Chai Shao sat in the camp tent and observed the terrain, thinking about the next march plan in his heart, now it is close to Dingxiang, but he does not know what the situation of Dingxiang is, his marching route is different from Li Jing's army, he is gradually approaching Dingxiang along the Yellow River, so he did not meet Li Jing's army on the way, even if it was the army led by Zhang Gongjin.

After camping in this grassland near Dingxiang, Chai Shao sent people to Dingxiang to check the situation, but now he has not received any news from Li Jing's side, and I don't know whether he has attacked Dingxiang as originally planned.

After observing here for two days, he did not see any gunsmoke, any movement, quietly, Chai Shao could not determine whether Li Jing had arrived, whether the war had begun, or had ended, before the spies came back to report, he did not dare to act rashly, at least he had to probe the truth before he could act, he was ready to fight, if Li Jing was still in the future, Jieli was still in Dingxiang, he was ready to attack first, he believed that even if more than 15,000 soldiers could not take Dingxiang, at least they could frustrate Jieli's spirit.

The curtain of the tooth tent was lifted, and Lao Niu walked in with a smile, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and as soon as he sat down, he opened the wine seal and was about to drink, but was snatched by Chai Shao.

"Where did you get this wine, do you know that you can't drink alcohol on the battlefield, drinking on the battlefield is not just a mistake, it's a mistake, you can drink it in the capital, can you drink it in this wilderness, ah? Old Niu, Old Niu, you are also old, why don't you have any memory at all, you are still killed on the battlefield. ”

The old cow sneered, snatched the wine, took a sip, and replied with a leisurely pout: "You often say that you know me, this little wine can make a mistake?" That's for others, to Lao Tzu Lao said this is nothing at all, just a jar of wine, I think when Lao Tzu went to the battlefield there was no wine around, drinking wine to fight is more powerful, Lao Chai It seems that you are really old, and your courage is not as good as in the past. ”

Chai Shao was too lazy to take care of the old cow, and when he said that he was hopeless, he threw his sleeves and left the tooth tent, and came to Xue Wanche's camp tent, and saw him lying there looking at the sky, and the curtain on the ground could also lie down for two people, so he also lay down, made pillows with his hands, and looked at the dark night sky, and when Chai Shao stretched his waist and moaned comfortably, Xue Wanche glanced at Chai Shao and asked suspiciously: "Chai Gong is not lying in the tooth tent, why did you come to me to be cold?" Could it be that Chai Gong can't sleep and wants to be sober outside? ”

Chai Shaoyao pointed to his tooth tent and sighed lightly: "It's not the old cow who is angry, persuade him not to drink in the barracks, he is biased, this is the wilderness, if there is a sudden enemy attack, won't he get drunk and die soon." ”

Xue Wanche smiled and said: "You don't know Lao Niu's temperament, if there is no wine outside, where can he stand it." ”

Lao Niu walked over leisurely with the wine, and when he heard Xue Wanche's words, he laughed happily: "Brother Xue still understands me, Lao Chai, Lao Chai, your treasure knife is already old, I think that in the past few of us killed talents, your alcohol consumption was also good, and now I am afraid that it will fall into the wind." ”

Chai Shao was so angry that his beard trembled, he sat up suddenly, patted his chest and said, "When this battle is over, I have to compare with you to see whose sword is still there." ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

Chai Shao left angrily, Lao Niu smiled and returned to his camp with the wine jar, Xue Wanche shook his head with a wry smile, turned over, covered himself with a blanket, chose a comfortable position, and fell asleep after a while・・・・・・

I was woken up early in the morning, the whole camp was in a mess, there were sentinels changing the guard in the distance, and the sun was already lazily shining on the earth, and it was very comfortable to shine on the body.

Breakfast is baked cakes, it is not good to eat wheat in the morning, it is a good choice to eat some baked cakes and drink some water, a little soldier saw that Xue Wanche was holding more baked cakes than himself, looking at the direct drool, in order to satisfy his selfish desires, he stared at the baked cakes, just wanted to have more baked cakes, a palm-sized baked cake still can't eat, after all, he is still a child, growing his body.

Seeing that he was still a child, Xue Wanche wordlessly tore off a piece of bread and handed it to him, and the happy little soldier showed off around with the baked cake.

Chai Shao came out of the tent with dark circles under his eyes, he didn't sleep much last night, first, he was angry with the old cow, and second, there was no news of Dingxiang now, he was at a loss in his heart, and he was a little uneasy.

After breakfast, Chai Shao, Lao Niu, and Xue Wanche stepped on the hill on the side of the grassland as yesterday, where they could see Dingxiang, but they were too far away to see the situation in Dingxiang, just a vague shadow, the sunset had arrived, and the smoke they hoped to see did not appear, and everything was so calm.

Standing on the high slope and looking at the direction of Dingxiang, there was no one on the avenue and path, Chai Shao was very anxious, and had already sent out a group of people, but he had not come back yet, looking at the direction of Dingxiang, he muttered: "Could it be an accident?" Why don't you see anyone coming back now? ”

Xue Wanche said: "Don't worry, Chai Gong, they have only been out for two days, and it is still early to come back, you go to the tent to rest for a while, and I will naturally report to you when there is news." ”

"Where can I rest, my heart is difficult to settle before the situation is determined."

The two were talking when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

Chai Shao and the three of them looked at each other, only to see a small group of men and horses galloping here in the distance, and a few black spots in front of several cavalry were running desperately, not to mention that they were the government soldiers on their side, Chai Shao's heart was in his throat, and he only hoped that these government soldiers could run faster so as to avoid those crazy pursuers.

Chai Shao, who was about to order the rescue, suddenly became puzzled, and took a closer look at the running government soldiers who felt wrong, those government soldiers who went out to explore the horses were not fleeing for their lives, more like cheering, and when they arrived closer, Chai Shao knew that his judgment was wrong, they were really not on the run and cheering, wasn't the horse in front Guo Yi? The cheers came from afar, Guo Yi's big voice actually overwhelmed the voices of other people, and the voice like a broken gong sounded like a supreme voice to Chai Shao, and the heart that mentioned the throat finally fell back into the stomach, just be safe!

The soldiers in the rear, who did not know the situation, had already set up a position behind the hillside, and as soon as the enemy arrived, they would attack, and one lieutenant set up an eight-ox crossbow on the side of the hill, and the crossbow arrows were being fired outward, and the other three soldiers were waiting beside them, ready to draw the crossbow arrows at any time.

He leaned against the hillside, very focused on the strings of the eight-ox crossbow, his eyes were firmly fixed on the outside of the hillside, and as soon as the enemy arrived, he immediately attacked.

Chai Shao laughed and ran down the hillside, and when he saw that his lieutenant general was aiming at Guo Yi with relish, he kicked it over, scolded him for a while, and looked around, everyone was in a state of response, and everyone knew that they were wrong, and the front was not the enemy, but their own people.

So, everyone relaxed, laughed and removed all guards.

"How's Dingxiang going?" Chai Shao looked at Guo Yi excitedly and eagerly.

Speaking of Dingxiang, Guo Yi was indescribably happy, laughing and describing what he had seen and heard.

"Ha, ha, ha, happy, general, you don't know, General Li Jing arrived in Dingxiang five days ago, when he was stationed in the Evil Yang Ridge, after a day and a night's rest, in the middle of the night he ordered an immediate attack on the city, saying that he was going to attack him by surprise, I didn't expect this kind of critical time, Jieli this guy is still having fun with the beauty, I heard that this Jieli after hearing that Li Jing's army attacked, he didn't even resist and withdrew, and withdrew to the moraine, and now Li Jing is thinking about how to attack the moraine."

Chai Shao said excitedly: "You mean to say that Li Jing took Dingxiang without spending a single soldier?" ”

Guo Yi nodded and said: "Yes, I listened to the people of Dingxiang, these people are still very excited when they talk about the night five days ago, the Tang army not only did not harass them, but also drove away the brutal Jieli, everyone is very happy, they are also willing to tell me this, talk about this." ”

"You haven't entered Li Jing's camp?" Xue Wanche, who had been silent for a long time, interjected.

Guo Yi said: "No, I don't know them well, if they treat them as an enemy, then where can I come back now." ”

Lao Niu scolded: "Cowardly as a mouse, you report the name of Brother Xue, Li Jing will not know?" No matter how hard it is to report the name of Lao Tzu or Lao Chai, how dare Li Jing snub you... ”

Guo Yi said with a smile: "General Niu is really powerful, he can't hide anything from you." ”

"Don't flatter in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this."

Chai Shao's heart finally settled down, although he was not very optimistic about Li Jing's attack on Dingxiang at night, but no matter what, Dingxiang is safe now.

He immediately ordered the whole army to rush to Dingxiang immediately, and try to rush to Dingxiang before dark to join Li Jing's army・・・・・・

When the sky turned from dark to dark, Chai Shao's army finally arrived in Dingxiang, Li Jing and others went out of the city to greet him, and led Chai Shao's more than 15,000 soldiers into his side, so that the west of Dingxiang was basically an army, and 30,000 or 40,000 troops were stationed here, which was indeed an extremely spectacular thing.

Zhang Gongjin arrived as scheduled on the third day after Li Jing captured the city, so there are now more than 35,000 Tang troops stationed in Dingxiang, which is enough to fight against Jieli・・・・・・

Living a boring life in the army, in the barracks, Lin Fan suddenly felt that such a military trip was very boring, there were no entertainment facilities that should be there, there was no joy that should be there, and now standing in the barracks can only watch people.

The special forces are very busy, the eight-bull crossbow brought by Chai Shao needs to be transformed, Li Jing also asked for time to continue to build this labor-saving and convenient eight-bull crossbow, the special forces brought by Lao Niu and the special forces led by Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren are all required to take over this task, so they are the busiest now, and the other soldiers maintain other weapons, feed war horses, etc., which is relatively much easier.
