It was the gloomy weather after a light snow at the end of the month, and the twilight covered the wilderness, and all around was dark blue, and the cold wind howled, rustling the dead grass half a man's height on the ground. More than 2,500 pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info rode into it, startling the birds and birds to take off, and the wild beasts scattered and fled.

Cui Huxin and Chen Jia led two hundred horsemen to open the road in front, swept away the grass and waited for the follow-up soldiers to pass, all the way to a small forest ten miles southeast of the Chishui Military City, and temporarily formed a team to prepare before the battle.

Outside the woods was a patch of reclaimed wasteland, with traces of fire, and in the middle of the dryland there was a path leading to the distant avenue, where it could be under the military city. It is said that there are villages nearby, and the Tibetan people are half-cultivated and half-pastoral, and also grow barley, corn and other crops, but Liangzhou is often drought, the rainy season is also very short, the grain yield is low, and the harvest is not large.

"Are you all ready?" Zhang Yue patrolled back and forth in the grove, and saw that the soldiers were holding spears, swords and bows at their waists, and they all had a piece of cloth in their mouths, and the chew belt on the mouth of the war horse was also tightened, and he felt very satisfied.

This is the horse's bit, the man's rank, in case the march makes too much noise, in this open field, the voice of the man and horse can be heard far away, and it cannot be guarded against.

Zhang Yue asked habitually, but the soldiers bit the cloth in their mouths, and they were all soldiers, and they were not familiar with him as a guest general, no one answered him, they all led the war horses to rest on the spot, ready to set off again at any time.

These town soldiers are all from the Liugu Department, if no one supervises, Zhang Yue will not be able to command, but with Shen Xuelian to help do the mobilization work, these soldiers are quite obedient. Cui Huxin and Hao Tianying didn't stay here, they had just set off with a hundred soldiers, and rushed to the military city to inspect.

The sky has already darkened, there is only a little light left between the sparse woodland, there is no torch, it is difficult to see the figure dozens of steps away, but Zhang Yue is not in a hurry, the next battle is not a field battle, but to steal the military city, which requires the selection of some good hands who climb the wall to sneak attack, but this is a soldier, some can't speak, and can't understand Chinese, and the selection of soldiers needs someone to do it for them.

"Shen Xuelian! Have you made it clear to officers at all levels? The woodland was dark, Zhang Yue only saw Shen Xuelian clearly when he got closer, so he asked.

"That's it! Five hundred people will be transferred out immediately, and my escort Shen Jingang will take you to call you. You have a battalion of pro-soldiers yourself, so why don't you use them to take the lead? Shen Xuelian turned around and said with dissatisfaction. She finally took off her hat, but her face was still covered with a scarf.

"I personally led someone to take the head, and I also gave it to you, and you still have so much to say?" Zhang Yue looked unhappy, in fact, he didn't care, he just wanted to let Shen Nian be able to withstand the Zhe Clan, otherwise he wouldn't do such a thankless job.

"I don't believe you have such a good intention, what do you say you are doing in Liangzhou? Isn't it just to explore the way, so that we can send troops from Huizhou in the future? Shen Xuelian tilted her head to look at him, and a pair of starry eyes looked particularly bright in the night.

"How so? Don't talk nonsense...... Seeing that you're not very old, don't be so smart, okay? Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this, such a simple matter, as soon as he came to Liangzhou, Shen Nianban, Zhe Jiashi, Shen Shihou and others all knew it, and when they didn't see it, they immediately let Tuoba Naji make a move, and arranged for Bai Genu to pick a side at the banquet, testing whether his attitude was gentle or strong.

"Huh...... No matter how smart you are, you are not as smart as you, if you want my people to die, it doesn't matter if you fight the military city, you look good if you can't beat it! Shen Xuelian said with a laugh.

"Hey! What if you can't beat it? Hearing her say this, Zhang Yue took a few steps forward and approached, and asked angrily.

"Then you don't want to go back!" Shen Xuelian stubbornly raised her chin and threatened.

She has now changed into her wedding dress, wearing a tight-fitting narrow-sleeved tunic with small lapels, holding her slender waist, and the front of her body is also bulging, slender and tall, only half a head shorter than Zhang Yue, the two are standing close, when she speaks and looks at Zhang Yue, she naturally looks up her face, and under the beaded hair on her head, the small braids are hanging down, shaking like tassels.

"What do you mean? Do you have a crush on me? Want to hire me as a husband? Zhang Yue was amused by her like this, and she was joking, looking down at her eyes, Shen Xuelian was finally frightened and took a few steps back.

"Self-inflicted! How many soldiers have you brought, and it's not in the eyes of this girl......" Shen Xuelian was taken aback when she heard this, and she was a little flustered inexplicably, feeling that her face was a little hot.

"What are you doing with your face covered all day, take off the scarf and let me know it, if it's ugly, forget it!" Zhang Yue said seriously, but looking at her like this, it is unlikely that she will be ugly.

Shen Xuelian was startled, and hurriedly covered her face with both hands, glanced at Zhang Yue, turned around and walked away, and said with a smile: "Hehe...... Your agitation method doesn't work, if you fight the military city, this girl can also consider it if she is in a good mood! ”

A moment passed, the soldiers were selected, and Zhang Yue gave an order, letting Shen Jingang take five hundred people and three hundred of his own soldiers to walk in front, and another thousand six hundred horses to follow, as for Shen Xuelian, she took her own guards to walk at the end. When the time comes, let them guard the horses, and there is no need to go into battle.

The night was dark, it was very inconvenient to hurry, and it was very slow to walk, along the way, there were Tanma to point out the path, and report safety, bypassing the villages near the military city, but Zhang Yue was still very careful, and after advancing five or six miles, he changed to dismount and walk. You can already see the lights on the military slope in the distance, and the target is in front of you.

After slowly advancing for a while, we reached a wasteland outside the southwest corner of the military city, and we could see that the outline of the castle was getting clearer and clearer, the wall was more than a zhang high, three or four meters high, there were battlements on the top, and there were torches lit at intervals, and the vigil garrison seemed very sparse, but occasionally patrols walked around the wall.

At this time, Cui Huxin trotted over when he heard the movement, pressed his chest and bowed and said: "There are secret posts outside the north and south gates of this military city, and the six south gates have been solved, and Commander Hao took twenty good men to the north gate." ”

"Who is the guard? The people of the Folded Clan? Can you trick the door open? "Zhang Yue doesn't really want to climb the wall, it's too troublesome.

"Yes! They know me, I'm afraid they won't be able to deceive the door, because the people of our Liugu Department are basically no more than Machenghe, and they still sneak attack to stabilize the point. Cui Huxin said.

In a small Liangzhou, the population distribution is so clear, Zhang Yue secretly decided that if there is an opportunity in the future, he must defeat these tribal systems and set up officials to govern the people.

After waiting for a while, Hao Tianying came back, seeing that he was clean and relaxed, Zhang Yue knew that he had completed the task of touching the sentry, and asked directly: "Which side of the army is empty and lax, from which side will climb the wall, in addition, how many troops are there?" ”

"Northwest corner! There is a wasteland over there, and there is a village on the east wall and the south gate, which will provoke the dogs to bark, and then it will be all alarmed. The strength of the army was only 500 people, and it was indeed the men and horses left behind by Tuoba Naji and Zhe Gezhi. Hao Tianying said. (To be continued.) )
