Chapter 0345. Plans, changes, ignitions...
In the dense woods, countless Tang troops lay on their stomachs in the grass.
The ambush is not just lying on your stomach, I don't know how many mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats are in the grass, and it can be extremely uncomfortable along the cracks in the armor, even many veterans can't help but feel uncomfortable, not to mention the temporary conscription of government soldiers in overseas immigrants and Goguryeo immigrants, Rao is so, the army is still gritting its teeth and sticking to it under the strict orders of captains at all levels, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.
After all, it is the prince, even if Li Jie has experienced the scene in person, he is still a little preferential, his head is covered with a small mosquito net, and the cuffs 'pants' and 'legs' are also tied tightly with light yarn, but the mosquitoes can't get close, and Li Jie, who is hot in the hot climate of Fujian, just wants to stick out his tongue.
"Damn, why haven't you come yet?"
This is not Li Jie's scolding, after following a group of old rough guys for a long time, Xiao Man'er, this girl has also learned foul language, Li Jie, who listened to it, couldn't help but turn his head and reprimand: "Please, you are the eldest lady of the Xiao family, can you be a little bit of a big lady." β
"Cut, are you still the prince? Don't you just scold your mother if it's okay? Xiao Man'er's little face under the gauze looked quite hazy, but her white eyes could still be clearly seen. How can you not associate this unreasonable eldest lady with the famous Concubine Xiao Shu in history, Li Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes, watching the two of them talking, and Yang Xinyi on the side was covering her small mouth and smiling.
What is this called? Others go into battle with generals, and this king goes into battle with his daughter-in-law 'wife'? Xiao Man'er touched a gray nose here, raised his eyes, not far from the opposite col, still holding a 'chicken' and 'feather' as an arrow, not to say that he was the deputy head of the march, the small figure of Sun Zhi lying on the tree came into view again, Li Jie couldn't help but be depressed.
"Alas, I originally planned to marry the two of you and have a lively wedding after being busy for a while, but it seems that it has been in trouble again." In the depression, Li Jie muttered to pass the time again, as soon as he heard this, Yang Xinyi immediately blushed to the base of his neck, Li Jie, who was finally refuted, was speechless, and Xiao Man'er, who was being proud, couldn't help but stiffen his body, and waved his little hands with a smile.
"Well, there's no hurry."
"Hey, don't listen to your eldest grandson's nonsense, as soon as you enter the 'cave' room, it won't hurt too much, your eldest grandson, sister Wu, isn't even Pei Ying's girl fine?" Li Jie continued to roll his eyes.
"That's not good, you big 'pervert' wolf, let this girl hurt for your own comfort, I won't do it!" Pursed her lips angrily, Xiao Man'er simply put her head aside, making Li Jie speechless and spurting blood again: "Then you say, you pick your nostrils, your nose is comfortable, and your fingers are comfortable?" β
"Of course it's the nose, phew, it's so dirty, Miss Ben doesn't pick her nostrils."
Listening to a pair of unreliable words, the more off-topic they became, and Yang Xinyi, who was caught in the middle, also blushed more and more the more she listened, and finally, the Goguryeo lady hysterically picked up her little fist and knocked it on the wood and shouted: "Don't say it!" β
It was really the voice that stopped suddenly, this time it was Li Jie's turn, Xiao Man'er looked at her dumbfounded, under the gaze of two pairs of stunned eyes, Yang Xinyi's cheeks turned even redder, and she groaned helplessly, stretched out her small hand to βthe ambush point, and whispered: "Someone is coming." β
The spirit was awe-inspiring, Li Jie immediately put away his playful mood and raised his binoculars, looking from a distance, there was really a cavalry in the valley road in front of him slowly walked in.
"How is it the person who 'medicine' Gro?" Li Jie immediately wondered.
The two thousand cavalry were still pretending to be carrying the grain cart slowly in the valley, and the triumphant 'medicine' Geluo was surrounded by Li Jie, Wang Xuance, and Lao Yang Yi in the center.
"What about the brutes?" Wang Xuance roared viciously like encountering an enemy who killed his father, and couldn't help but shout so much that 'medicine' Geluo was confused, and replied depressedly: "The barbarian soldier was killed by the last general!" β
Two or three hundred Wuling barbarian heads were placed in a pile, indeed they had just been killed, the problem is that there is obviously news from the inside, at least tens of thousands of barbarians, and the rebels are gathered on the left side of the 'medicine' Geluo grain transport team, and they are eyeing this batch of grain that has been fought for from all over Jianzhou and Quanzhou, and the problem is that with such a big offensive, they were all scared back after killing two or three hundred?
Li Jie was a little confused, and the 'medicine' Geluo was boasting proudly: "Since receiving the warning from His Royal Highness, the last general has been worrying all night and not daring to relax for a long time, and finally half an hour ago, he broke through the barbarians who spied on the military rations of our army, and the chief beheaded two hundred and eighty-three, and the enemy did not survive." β
"Okay, okay, don't you kill more than 200 barbarians? What is there to brag about? "I was already being stared at by mosquitoes, Scar Liu snorted impatiently, his old face turned red, and the 'medicine' Ge Luo finally closed his mouth, and 'shot' more than 200 barbarians lacking armor on the plain, but there was nothing to show off.
"Your Highness, what now?"
Using food to 'lure' and 'confuse' the enemy out, the plan for an ambush and decisive battle was bankrupt, looking at it with wide eyes and staring at it, Li Jie himself waved his hand quite irritably: "Where to go?" β
"Order, the whole army comes out, set up camp on the spot, Wanyan Aguta, Zhang Ergou, all the horse exploration camps of the two of you are scattered, be sure to find out the whereabouts of the rebel barbarians, idea, try not to 'show' yourself, now the Chen family does not know that this king already knows, to seize this advantage."
"That's the way it goes." Seeing Li Jie's angry fingering, the generals who had been feeding the mosquitoes for a long time had no choice but to arch their hands one by one, and scattered in a depressed manner.
The grain that happened to be transported became military food, but the insects in the mountains were really fatal, and a large group of Fujian King Tielin soldiers had to eat while providing other things for nourishment, and the burning fire was even more like popcorn 'flowers', and mosquitoes constantly pounced on them and were burned, exuding a bad smell.
In the military tent, because of mosquitoes and annoyance, in the eyes of the fat man Li Eng's 'meat' pain, Li Jie simply took out the extremely valuable tobacco leaves he grabbed and 'broken' them into the cigarette pouch pot and lit them, but he couldn't 'smoke' them, and he spent a bunch of tobacco leaves in vain, choking everyone else in the tent coughing.
However, there are a lot fewer mosquitoes.
"Your Highness, anyway, in southern Xinjiang, the inspection of the imperial history can't see the truth, so simply the whole army will raid to Nan'an County, take the county seat, and directly arrest the Chen family for questioning, the subordinates still have some friends in the court who can help us speak, and no one will go against His Highness for a frontier family."
If you want to say that you want to take refuge, the martial artist is to kill a person, and the literati's name is twisted and wound a lot, and finally made up his mind to follow Li Jie to the black, Xu Jingzong's strategy is quite ruthless and direct, and he can't help but let Li Jie also look at it, although this guy said that he has a bad reputation in later generations, he is also decisive in doing things.
"That's all there is to it at the moment." After hesitating for a while, Lao Yang Yi finally nodded in confusion, and finally Li Jie slapped the board and ordered loudly: "Order, assemble the 'elite' troops, and go directly to the city when the scouts come back, and spend the night in Nan'an County tonight!" β
As he was talking, he didn't wait for the herald to go out, and suddenly a loud noise suddenly came from outside, stunned, Li Jie grabbed the horizontal knife and led a group of equally surprised staff generals out of the 'door'.
Located in the remaining veins of Jiufeng Mountain, standing quite high, with a radius of more than ten miles at a glance, holding a telescope and looking at it from afar, the surprise on Li Jie's face became more and more intense, and he shouted quite unbelievably: "How is this possible?" β
In the two lenses, more than ten miles away in Nan'an County, the base camp of the Chen family in Fujian is now 'chaotic', and there are shouts and fires everywhere, and the sound of conflict can be heard even if it is far away.
"Is this a ploy to 'lure' the enemy? Chen Cheng already knew that we were coming with an army? Old Yang Yi also looked at the telescope quite hesitantly, but Wang Fangyi shook his head in veto on the side, and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be possible, right?" If you want to 'lure' the enemy, it is impossible to be so flamboyant, this at least ignites half of Nan'an County. β
"Assemble your team." also hesitated for a while, Li Jie gritted his teeth and shouted: "Wait for the scouts to come back and 'figure out' the situation, and be careful to deal with all emergencies." β
"Whoa!"
Another half an hour passed in the anxious waiting, but it can be counted that the two top scouts Zhang Ergou and Wanyan Agu gasped and ran back, and as if grabbing the merit, Zhang Ergou took the lead in kneeling on one knee and stammered: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I don't know why, the barbarians and the army of Quanzhou Assassin Chen Cheng have fought, and now the barbarians have invaded Nan'an County, and the Chen family's government soldiers have almost collapsed." β
"Back to Your Highness, many people have died, and there are rivers of blood on the streets." Seeing Li Jie's eyes fall on him, he said a direct and brief sentence.
"Haha, cooperating with the barbarians, Chen Cheng is playing with fire."
It was cold for a while, Li Chuang couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the staff and generals were also relaxed, looking at each other with emotion, and shaking their heads.
However, after sighing a little, Li Jie still grabbed the horizontal knife again, turned his head and ordered: "Pass on the king's order, gather cavalry troops, go down the mountain, and rescue Nan'an County?" β
"What? Your Highness, now go and save Chen Cheng? Not only the scar Liu and a few generals, but even Wang Xuance stared at him in surprise, Li Jie was just about to explain, but Xu Jingzong beside him stroked his mustache and suddenly smiled: "Your Highness has a good strategy, sending troops at this time is the time to win the hearts of the people in Fujian, whether Chen Cheng is dead or not, he is dead!" β
Damn, can't you think about this king better?
However, seeing that the eldest grandson weaves and several girls nodded in agreement, Li Jie had to hold back his words in a depressed manner, and he 'touched' the horse.
The night "color" became more and more intense, but the rumbling hooves of more than 2,000 cavalry of the precious Fujian King Tielin broke this silence, and the night "color" was like a black dragon galloping towards the burning Nan'an County, and the horse's hooves galloped wildly with a burst of killing.
