Cao Yue's men and horses and the rebel army led by Li Yan set up a position on a plain more than 30 miles outside the city, preparing for a big battle.

When the two strikers met, it was already late in the evening. In the short conflict, the two sides paid a similar price, and after losing more than a dozen horsemen, they also withdrew their troops and prepared to fight again in the coming day.

The two armies set up a large camp across an open area of five miles.

In order to avoid being attacked by the other side, both sides have taken full precautions, especially Li Yanbu, who has been attacked by the elite detachments of the official army in the past few days, is particularly cautious and cautious, and does not dare to be careless.

However, Cao Yue did not prepare for a large-scale attack on the camp, he just ordered his men and horses to take turns on alert, with the highest state of combat readiness to deal with the possible attack on the camp by the rogues, and at the same time ordered the special training team, which had almost no losses, to continue to attack and harass Li Yan's headquarters.

Wang An is a very smart person, a few days of successful raids, he summed up a lot of experience, although the Liukou strengthened the vigilance, almost the camp like an iron bucket, but this is not difficult for them, the members of the training team who fought in groups were still able to sneak into the Liukou camp and complete the task of raiding and sabotage, which tortured Li Yan like thunder.

However, on the night of the battle, Wang An and his comrades-in-arms suffered losses, and a detachment of five of them was intercepted and killed by several skilled women when they successfully infiltrated the camp, which alarmed the rogues in the camp. In the end, the special training team members who carried out the mission escaped from the camp after paying the price of two dead and two wounded.

This move also caused the follow-up detachment to run into problems, and Wang An was forced to cancel the attack plan in the first half of the night.

However, the grenades thrown by the detachments and the fires set off when they retreated still caused panic among the rogue bandits, and many of the rogue generals stayed up all night and personally led their troops to patrol the camp in case the officers and soldiers might attack the camp again. Li Yan also didn't dare to take a good rest, at most he just slept in his big tent and clothes, so as not to sleep too soundly and have no time to deal with the accident.

Li Yan now knew that he had encountered a very difficult opponent whose methods of warfare were different from any of the generals he had dealt with before. Cao Yue's command can be said to be confusing, and his methods make it even more difficult for people to understand the situation and judge what is going on. What made Li Yan most depressed was that his battalion had been attacked by the official army several times, but he didn't know what kind of people and horses were attacking, how they entered the camp, and how they left.

It's like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, these people come and go without a trace, and the vigilant people who are strictly guarded by the dead end are all busy in the end.

On the night when the war was approaching, Li Yan was once again attacked by the officers and soldiers in a similar way, Li Yan's anger didn't know how to vent, and many of his own soldiers were punished for not being interesting.

Li Yan's violent action caused all the soldiers around him to tremble, not knowing how to deal with it, for fear that he would also be punished.

Although he already knew that this decisive battle with the army led by Cao Yue was a bit fierce and unlucky, Li Yan, who had been strongly tortured in the past few days, still hoped to have a decisive battle as soon as possible, otherwise he would be a little unbearable.

Just when Li Yan was depressed about being attacked again tonight, a personal soldier walked into the big tent and cautiously reported that someone had asked to see him.

"Who wants to see you?" Li Yan snorted angrily.

"Yes, ma'am!" The pro-soldier replied tremblingly.

"Ma'am?" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and the whole person was stunned.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't react for a while, the extremely nervous soldier finally couldn't help but ask again: "General, Madame asked you, would you like to see her?" ”

"Let her in!" Li Yan, who had expected that the Red Lady would definitely come with his other people, finally eased his tone and asked his own soldiers to bring the Red Lady in.

Soon, the bloodstained red lady broke into Li Yan's tent in a hurry.

"Xianggong!" After seeing the haggard Li Yan, the red lady couldn't help but cry out in pain, and wanted to rush forward and throw herself into Li Yan's arms and cry for a while, but in the end she held back.

"Why are you back?" Li Yan, who was also very excited in his heart, hardened his heart and asked in an emotionless tone.

"Xianggong, I can't rest assured that you have been following the army," Seeing Li Yan's emotionless and indifferent look, the red lady finally couldn't help but shed tears.

"The battle between the rebels and the official army is about to start, you better get out of here," Li Yan said in the same tone again, and also found the blood stains on the red lady's body, and after hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you injured...... Is it? ”

"Nope!" This sentence made the red lady feel a little more comfortable, and her tears flowed more happily, and she immediately told the truth, "These days, the slave family has also heard that the rebel army has been attacked by the official army from time to time at night, and I don't know who attacked it, so I was curious to sneak into the camp with Ruyi and Xiaoyun tonight, wanting to intercept and kill the sneak attacker." We really encountered the sneak attackers, but we didn't expect that they were very good, and the three masters and servants of the slave family couldn't intercept and kill them all, let alone catch them alive. ”

"How many sneak attackers did you intercept?" Li Yan was shocked, and couldn't help but rush to the red lady all of a sudden.

"The bodies of those two people are outside, and the other two injured people are still escaped by them!" Seeing Li Yan's appearance, the red lady's mood was a little better, and she immediately ordered the two maids outside the tent to pull over the bodies of the two sneak attackers they killed.

Li Yan followed the Red Lady out of the tent and carefully checked the two sneak attackers who were intercepted and killed by the three of the Red Lady's master and servant, but did not find any useful clues.

"Xianggong, Cao Yue has trained a group of highly skilled dead soldiers, specializing in sneak attacks and destruction, and the last time Jiannu was attacked on the way to the south, it should have been done by these people. These people are very destructive, you must be careful, otherwise it will mess up the morale of the army!" At this time, the red lady seemed to have no resentment towards Li Yan, and told her with concern, she thought that after this incident, Li Yan's attitude towards her would change.

"Thank you!" What the red lady didn't expect was that Li Yan still replied to him with the same demeanor as just now: "I'll pay attention." ”

What the Red Lady didn't expect was that Li Yan's mind had changed to something else, he thought that the Red Lady knew Cao Yue's plan, and Cao Yue had this group of dead soldiers, but he never told him. This made him feel that the inexplicable relationship between the Red Lady and Cao Yue was even more complicated, and this time the Red Lady sneaked back to the camp, maybe she had a more special purpose.

The unpleasant encounters in the past few days have made Li Yan not in a good mood, let alone think about things on the good side.

"Xianggong!" The red lady felt the coldness in Li Yan's tone, and couldn't help but call.

"We are no longer husband and wife, don't call me husband again, you go, today I will not care about your trespass in the camp, but warn you, if there is a next time...... trespassing on the camp, Hugh blame will not be polite!" Li Yan said, didn't pay attention to the red lady anymore, waved down his sleeves vigorously, and walked back to the big tent.

The red lady who stood in place in a daze, looked at the background of Li Yan's entry, and finally shed rolling tears!
