Zhang Xiaogou breathed a sigh of relief: "The general guessed well, Snake Tooth really sent someone to report the news." This morning, the entire county town of Yan'en was mobilized, and the four sides sent out the horses to deliver messages everywhere, and soldiers began to stand guard at the head of the city.

We ambushed two horsemen on the road, and according to his confession, they were going to the tribes of various places to carry the message, or they were going into the city to defend them, or they were joining together and harassing them outside.

At about five o'clock in the morning, I saw a procession of thirty or so men, leading dozens of horses to the west. It was immediately carried as if it were gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin. ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "Do they know that we are there?" ”

Zhang Xiaogou shook his head: "I asked, they thought we would not arrive until noon tomorrow, and the two horsemen said that they went to the nearest place to deliver the message, and the request was to arrive in the afternoon." ”

"Very good." Xiao Quzhi smiled: "You have worked hard, go down to rest first, and then fight." ”

"No problem, we're not tired." The three of them nodded excitedly, and what they were most afraid of was to treat them as wounded and not let them participate in the later battle.

Although they are now extremely tired, and the frostbite on their hands and feet and ears is unbearably itchy, they still do not want to let go of the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country.

This is the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the soldiers of the Han family, who have been fighting one after another in the poor and desperate areas of the Han family's frontier and in the enemy territory thousands of miles away.

Meng Tian led the tiger wolf Qin army and chased the Xiongnu to the north; Huo Quai's frenzied advance, and he drove straight into the wolf Juxu; Ban Ding went far into the tiger's den to kill the enemy, and shocked the distant region; Li Weigong's 3,000 cavalry attacked Dingxiang on a snowy night, and the first battle was victorious.

It is precisely this generation after generation of Han soldiers who have continued to forge ahead that has expanded the territory and civilization of the Han people from a small corner of the Yellow River Valley to what it is now, occupying the entire East Asia.

Xiao Quzhi only felt hot and moved in his heart, patted the shoulders of the three of them, and asked someone to take them to a warm tent to squint for a while.

As soon as the three of them left, Li Qi, Amir Jiang, Nan Jiyun and others immediately surrounded them. Li Qi was beside Xiao Quai's side and said in a low voice: "Master, they have been prepared for a long time, is our plan going to change?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled: "Of course it has to change, I have already calculated that this may be the case, and I have formulated several sets of battle plans when I was in Chang'an." Here's my plan...... How, do you have anything to add? ”

When Amir Jiang and Li Tianxi were in the river with Xiao Quai's illness earlier, they obeyed Xiao Quai's order, so naturally what he said was what.

Nan Jiyun and An Baozhen, who had not yet drunk Xiao Quai's illness and fought together, felt that it was a bit risky, but they couldn't say it themselves, so they looked straight at Li Qi.

Li Qi whispered: "Master, you will bring ten people forward to challenge, is it too little?" Why don't you split a hundred people from each of our teams? ”

Xiao Quzhi just smiled: "No, just with these miscellaneous beards in Liuzhou, local chickens and dog ears, no matter how many ten thousand more will not hurt us a single hair." But how hard you have to work, I'm afraid that there won't be enough manpower. ”

It's not that Xiao Qubing is arrogant, it's just that when he thinks of the combat effectiveness of this group of Liuzhou Hu in another time and space, Xiao Qubing can't pay attention to them.

At that time and space, after the change of Ma Wei, Li Qi protected the crown prince Li Heng to go north to Shuofang, and this group of Liuzhou Hu sent thousands of soldiers and horses to intercept and kill along the way, but they were beaten by Li Qi with three or four hundred soldiers and horses that were improvised and lost their armor.

After that, Ashina Congli took thousands of Tongluo and Turkic soldiers and horses to defect to the vicinity of Shuofang, and formed tens of thousands of troops with Liuzhou Hu near Youzhou, wanting to attack Shuofang City.

As a result, before it was launched, it was swept away by Guo Ziyi with thousands of Shuo Fang troops. It is said that it was these Liuzhou Hu who fought first, but they were immediately defeated, and the result was that the Tongluo and Turkic armies behind them were affected.

Li Qi and the others stopped talking, and Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, just do your own thing." Whether you can capture Yan'en County within two days depends not on me, but on whether you can complete the task. ”

Li Qi and the others had burning eyes, and they patted their chests one after another to assure. Xiao Qubing did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, arrange the saddles, and tighten the horse's belly belt, and at the same time, Xiao Qubing began to assign tasks.

Li Qi led an army, assisted by Amir Jiang and Li Fei Shouyu, and five hundred flying dragon forbidden troops swept in the direction of the west of Yan'en City; Nan Jiyun led another 500 Anxi cavalry and swept eastward;

Lu Wan, the captain of the Anxi scouts, and Chen Fei each led twenty scouts to the northeast and northwest to rule Li Sheng and Ma Sui, and sent messages back and forth in four directions.

Everyone can understand Li Qi's arrangement, and everyone can see that Xiao Quai's illness is good for this personal apprentice, and letting him lead the troops is also intended to train him.

At the same time, he was not at ease, so he even arranged two marksmen, Amir Jiang and Li Fei Shouyu, to protect him. This love is simply envious.

But let Nan Jiyun lead an army, everyone is a little puzzled, and I don't know where General Xiao values this uncle, he is so important, no matter what, it will depend on his ability when the time comes.

……

Half an hour later, when the dozen or so guards on the gate tower of Yan'en South City were so excited by the bounty of five million guan that the whole statue was about to burn. I eagerly hope that Xiao Qu's illness can come as soon as possible to send them heads, and Xiao Qu's illness will really come.

"Captain Ten, look, someone's coming!" A sharp-eyed soldier pointed in surprise to the south side.

Following the direction he pointed, more than a dozen people on the tower of the city gate poked their heads out of the battlement, and saw that due south, about two or three miles away, a lone horse galloped towards them.

Even from a distance, the people on the castle tower could see that the knight was riding a tall and extremely bloody horse. The knight was not wearing armor, he was dressed in a red brocade robe, and the whole man and horse were like a red flame, which was very conspicuous on the white snow.

The sweaty BMW was extremely fast, and after only a few breaths, the people on the city tower could clearly see the face of the person on the horse. turned out to be a handsome and white Han Jialang.

More than a dozen people were a little stunned? At this time, a Han Jialang, riding alone, what is he doing here with us? Could it be the messenger from Chang'an?

This Han Jialang, who was riding a sweaty and bloody horse, was naturally Xiao Quai's illness, and waited until Xiao Qu's illness galloped to less than three hundred steps away from the city gate tower, and then the ten-master reacted and shouted at Xiao Quai: "Who is coming?" ”

Xiao Quzhi slowed down the speed of the horse, and walked forward more than fifty steps, only then did he restrain the little red horse, took off the ash pole and big gun from the victory hook, and said loudly: "The Liuzhou miscellaneous Hu on the city gate tower listened, the Tang Liang Guogong, the general Jin Wuwei, the general Yulin, and the general of Longwu Xiao Qubing is sick here, and you will surrender the city as soon as possible!" Avoid death! ”
