"Little master, General Li Kailuo and General Li Sijing ask to meet!" Pei Yue said quietly.

"Li Kailuo, Li Sijing?" Li Tao asked in surprise: "Could it be that those defeated soldiers haven't crossed the river yet?" ”

"The crossing of the river was completed, but the two of them took a few hundred men with them, cut the iron cables, and refused to leave."

Li Tao was also noncommittal, and instructed Pei Yue: "Let them enter the phalanx and arrange a place for them, but they are not allowed to move around." ”

In the evening, Xue Ne and Wang Haibin found Li Tao.

"You two don't have a good rest, and you're looking for me so late?" Li Tao looked at the two suspiciously.

Xue Ne sighed and said, "I can't sleep, I just happened to be looking for something to talk to me on the beach, and I became more and more unsure, so I took him to find you." ”

"Wang Duwei, I don't know what you're looking for me?" Li Tao looked at Wang Haibin again.

"I'm here to remind King Lantian to be careful that they come to the camp at night." Wang Haibin said worriedly.

"Thank you Wang Duwei, they won't come!" Li Tao had a strange smile on his face.

"Lantian Wang is so confident? How do you know they're not going to come to the camp? Wang Haibin asked.

"Because they have more important things to do, and they can't bother to come to the camp." The smile on Li Tao's face became even stronger.

"Is there anything more important?" Wang Haibin was even more puzzled.

"Of course, they have to guard against us going to the camp."

"Huh?" Wang Haibin was stupid: "We only have such a few people, it is difficult to protect ourselves, how to touch the camp?" ”

"Their camp is so big, of course we can't touch it. But they could separate themselves to harass them, so that he could not sleep peacefully like a frightened bird. In this way, it would be impossible for them to come to the camp. ”

Only then did Wang Haibin understand why Li Tao was smiling strangely just now. He suddenly realized: "King Lantian, you are the first to strike!" ”

Li Tao smiled: "That's what I mean." ”

That night, the Khitan and Xi coalition forces really did not come to steal the camp, on the contrary, Li Tao divided the Luzhou regimental training into three groups, and harassed them all night without stopping.

Wang Haibin smiled bitterly at Xue Ne and said, "King Lantian can really toss, people shout and neigh." Gongs and drums shook the sky, and there were arrows. Metropolitan Governor, could it be that the king of Lantian could not be a prophet. With so much messy stuff? ”

Xue Ne was silent, as if thinking about something.

In the early morning, the auxiliaries in the circle had already started cooking. Wang Haibin came back in a circle and said in surprise to Xue Ne: "Metropolitan Governor." Guess what they feed the soldiers? ”

"Isn't it your own wheat rice?" Xue Ne asked.

The soldiers of the Tang Army all brought their own dry rations for three days. After arriving at the barracks, dry food was distributed by the army, but it was also carried by the soldiers themselves, and the wheat was usually fried and packed in dry food bags, so it was also called wheat rice.

Wang Haibin shook his head: "They are freshly steamed steamed cakes, hot." There is also rice soup, sauce meat, and the most incomprehensible thing is that there is an egg for one person. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Haibin was puzzled and said, "The Metropolitan Governor." You say they bumped so far, how did they bring the eggs? ”

Xue Ne sighed and said, "King Lantian is really willing to spend money on these Luzhou group exercises." Let's take a look. ”

Li Tao was eating, and when he saw Xue Ne and Wang Haibin, he couldn't help but smile and said, "How is it, Old Xue, is our breakfast still delicious?" ”

Xue Ne said: "I haven't taken care of eating yet!" ”

"Let's eat together!" Li Tao pointed to his side.

After Xue Ne and Wang Haibin sat down, a sergeant had already brought them a breakfast.

Wang Haibin couldn't help but ask: "Lantian King, this egg is the easiest to break, how did you transport it?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "Do you think I am a god and can transport fresh eggs here, this is a salted egg pickled with salt, don't believe you taste it, it tastes very good?" ”

Wang Haibin tasted it, it was really a salted egg, and he was busy saying: "It tastes really good!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Haibin felt and said: "King Lantian, if you want me to say, these soldiers are really blessed to follow you." Not only is the equipment the best, but also food, clothing, housing and transportation, Lantian Wang has taken care of everything! ”

Li Tao shook his head and said: "Actually, I haven't done enough, they are all taking their lives to accompany me Li Tao to die all his life, how can I treat them badly?" If it weren't for the rush of time, I would have created better conditions. ”

Xue Ne and Wang Haibin glanced at each other and stopped talking.

"Hurry up and eat! After eating, there is still a good show to watch! Li Tao finished eating the distillation in his hand in two bites.

"King Lantian, did you say that the Khitans would attack today?" Wang Haibin asked softly.

"What do you mean? They will definitely attack! Li Tao got up and said.

"So what do we do?"

"What to do? Defend! You're not going to let me fight them with these 800 men, are you? ”

Wang Haibin was speechless for a moment, Li Tao was right, they now have no second way to go except to defend with all their might. But with this alone, can they prevent it? Wang Haibin didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

When the sun rose high, the cavalry of the Khitan and Xi coalition launched an attack. At first, of course, it was a tentative attack.

The enemy's cavalry rushed from all directions, but Li Tao was unmoved, just watched quietly.

Wang Haibin was a little breathless, and he urged on the side: "King Lantian, why don't you send crossbow arrows, the enemy has already rushed to a distance of two hundred steps." ”

Li Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, just this little person, it's not worth my use of crossbow arrows!" Just look at it! ”

Wang Haibin wanted to say something, Xue Ne said on the side: "The crossbow is the best to use when the enemy formation is dense, you see that the enemy cavalry attacked from three directions at the same time, there are only 3,000 people, the formation is scattered, it is not suitable to use crossbow arrows." ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "It's still Lao Xue's right view!" Wang Duwei, do you know, this crossbow arrow is ten yuan when it is shot, if the damage is not much, it is not worth it, I don't want to do such a loss-making business. ”

As he spoke, the Khitan cavalry had reached about 100 paces.

Someone in the formation gave the order: "Shoot!" ”

I saw that the Luzhou regiment in the formation circled around the cart and shot at the cavalry outside the formation, and in just three rounds, half of the enemy's cavalry fell.

Wang Haibin couldn't help but applaud: "I didn't expect that the cavalry of the King of Lantian got off the horse, and the archery skills were so good." ”

Li Tao seemed to remember something after listening to Wang Haibin's words, and he said to the heralds: "Pass my order, withdraw half of the people, and the rest of the people continue to shoot the enemy cavalry." ”

"Yes!" The starter immediately conveyed the flag order.

Wang Haibin was very curious, and he was about to ask, when Xue Ne smiled on the side: "King Lantian, you hide your strength, but in order to let the other party use fuel tactics?" ”

"Old Xue Ye, who knows me!" Li Tao gave a thumbs up and said, "Since they are a temptation, of course I won't let them test our reality and reality." (To be continued......)
