The desert sky is always so clear, although the sun has set the horizon, even the last trace of afterglow is gone, but the earth has not been plunged into absolute darkness - a waning moon quietly takes the place of the sun, sprinkling the still bright moonlight on the world, although the poplar forest outside Tuoxun City is dense, but the moonlight can still shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves to illuminate the earth in a dappled area, although its light is not enough to read and write, but it does not prevent the people hidden in the dense forest from gathering together, The sand table was silently deduced in the moonlight, and at this moment, several big men in strong suits escorted a thin figure that was tied up sturdily and came closer, one of the big men walked in front of the crowd, arched his hand at the back of a burly strong man, and lowered his voice and said: "General Dong, catch a spy, please show the general." The general slowly turned around, revealing a face full of beard, and it could be seen by the moonlight that this person was Dong Qianli!

"Well, waste, taking a spy to make such a big fuss, you really give a certain parent's face!" Dong Qianli didn't even look at the bound spy, and waved his hand angrily: "Cut it!" ”

Dong Qianli does have reason to be angry - since three days after he entangled Ashina Therro's department in Yizhou, the whole army of 5,000 men and horses galloped hundreds of miles on the desert within three days, exhausted nearly 1,000 war horses, and went through a lot of hardships, and finally rushed to the vicinity of Tuoxun City, in order to attack the troops that the Qiuci people might send to Jiaohe here, the whole army had been in ambush for a whole day, and it was easy to wait for the arrival of the Qiuzi people, but the previous short but fierce fighting sound was very likely to be discovered by the Qiuzi people who sacrificed themselves in the city. This kind of mistake is a fatal thing, if it affects His Highness's overall plan because of this, let alone killing a mere spy, even Dong Qianli's own head will have to be moved.

As soon as he heard the word "cut", the spy who was tied up immediately struggled desperately, his small body and bones twisted violently, if it weren't for the mouth being tightly blocked by rags, he was afraid that he would scream loudly, but it was a pity that no matter how much he made trouble, it was useless, the men who were born as sand thieves were best at tying people up, Rao is that the spy was fierce, but he was powerless to get rid of the clamps of the big men around him.

"Wait, Brother Dong, let someone ask." Just when the big man was about to retreat with the spy, Liu Qi walked out from the side and drank softly, and a group of big men saw Liu Qi come forward, so they hurriedly stopped, and stood aside holding the struggling spy aside.

Liu Qi is nominally the deputy commander of this sand thief team, but in fact he also has the identity of a captain of the Yue Wangfu, his status is not lower than Dong Qianli, coupled with his always approachable style, the prestige in this sand thief team is very high, Dong Qianli also knows that Liu Qi will definitely not be in the pool in the future, and he has great respect for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi slowly walked up to the spy, looked at the spying with his face covered in mud through the mottled moonlight, and said very calmly: "There are a few questions to ask, if you can answer them from the truth, you can spare your life, if you agree to this agreement, then please nod your head." "As soon as the desperately struggling spy heard Liu Qi say this, he made a whining sound in his mouth, his head kept nodding, and a pair of bright big eyes flashed in the moonlight. Very good. Liu Qi nodded, waved his hand, and motioned his subordinates to take out the rags from the spout's mouth, and waited for him to breathe for a while, and then asked slowly: "How many people are you waiting for, and who is the leader of the army?" ”

"I'm not a spy, you, you, bandits, let me go!" The spy took a few quick breaths and screamed angrily, his voice was urgent and crisp, but perhaps he didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of being silenced, but the grievances between his words were unmistakable.

Liu Qinai is a person who is as careful as a hair, as soon as he heard the voice of the spy, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and when he was stunned, he quickly stretched out his hand and touched it in his throat, and was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to believe his eyes for a while, and stood there stunned.

"Ah, what are you going to do? I, I'll fight with you! Woo......" The spy screamed coldly, startling several sand thieves who rushed up again and gagged him with rags.

"Brother Liu, this is ......" Dong Qianli saw that Liu Qi's reaction was extremely strange, and he was immediately a little confused, and hurriedly asked.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Liu Qi smiled bitterly, shook his hand and said, "Brother Dong, let this person go, he is definitely not a spy." ”

"Huh?" Dong Qianli glanced at Liu Qi suspiciously, looking like he was waiting for Liu Qi to understand.

"Brother Dong, no matter how stupid the Qiuzi people are, they won't send a woman to be a spy." Liu Qi shrugged his shoulders and explained helplessly.

"Female?" Dong Qianli immediately laughed when he heard this, gave a kick to each of the sand thieves, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, a group of waste, taking a woman to make such a big noise, grandma, don't get out of here!" ”

In order to hold the spy, the sand thieves had wasted the strength of the old nose, and chased and fought in the dense forest for a while before they were completely subdued, for which some people were slightly injured, at this time, they heard Liu Qi say that the spy was a woman, and they immediately made a mess, and they doubted in their hearts, but they didn't dare to doubt Liu Qi's judgment, and in desperation, they had to look at each other, and each of them retreated without mentioning it.

"Girl, don't panic, we are not bandits, but the soldiers of His Royal Highness King Yue, I won't hurt you, this place is about to become a battlefield, it's better for a girl's family to leave quickly." Liu Qi stretched out his hand to untie the rope on the woman's body and explained gently.

As soon as the woman was free, she immediately jumped to the side, took out the rags in her mouth, took a few breaths, looked at Liu Qi with big eyes, suddenly lowered her head, and asked in a thin voice: "Dare to ask the general's surname?" The slave Qu Feiyan thanked the general for saving his life. ”

"A certain surname Liu, single name seven, the girl should leave quickly, a certain military affairs are urgent, so I won't send the girl." Liu Qiben is not a person who talks a lot, but today he somehow said that he is not old or young, and he looks at Dong Qianli with a bitter look.

Listening to Dong Qianli's laughter, Qu Fei's cigarette butt was buried lower, gritted his teeth, and seemed to use all his strength to speak: "General Liu, the little woman has lived in this city for some days, and she is familiar, if the general wants to find out the enemy's situation, the little woman can lead the way." ”

"This ......" Liu Qi didn't expect Qu Feiyan to make such a suggestion, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but he didn't want Dong Qianli, who was standing on the side, grinned and said, "Okay, good idea, Sha Kui." ”

Sha Feiluo's brother Sha Kui did not enter the Tang army with his brother, but stayed in the sand thief team, because of his martial arts are still passable, plus his mind is not bad, he became Dong Qianli's Chinese army escort, at this time he was hiding to watch the excitement, but he didn't expect Dong Qianli to suddenly call his name, and he hurriedly squeezed out from behind, bowed and said: "The last general." ”

"Sha Kui, you will choose a few good brothers from the Chinese army to accompany Captain Liu, oh, and this Miss Qu will go on a trip and come back with a few alive, remember, if Captain Liu and Miss Qu are missing a cold hair, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head." Dong Qianliqiang held back his smile and commanded seriously.

Sha Kui was originally in charge of external liaison when he was under Sha Feiluo, and he was a top person, who would not know that Dong Qianli was planning to match Liu Qi and Qu Feiyan, and immediately responded to the promise with understanding, and did not look at Liu Qi, who was blushing and quite uncomfortable on the side, ran to the back with a smoke, lit up a few good hands who were originally doing this kind of work, and hugged Liu Qi and Qu Feiyan and went out of the forest, leaving Dong Qianli to have fun in the same place.

If it is about the battlefield duel, Dong Qianli's gang of sand thieves may not be considered a strong army, compared to the regular cavalry battalion under Li Zhen, the combat effectiveness is not old or young, but if it is compared to touching the tongue, tying tickets, and beating sticks, ten cavalry battalions together are not as sophisticated as the sand thieves, no, Liu Qi and the others did not go for long, and they arrested two grassroots officers of the Qiuzi people from the chaotic Tuoxun City, and they did not even alarm the Qiuzi patrols who came to play patrol, everything went smoothly, under the destruction of a group of interrogation mastersAfter learning that this army of more than 9,000 people and horses was actually led by Bai Suxin, the general of Qiuci Town, Dong and Liu couldn't help laughing-caught a big fish!

"Brother Liu, the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, this battle will be won, I think the enemy is galloping from the direction of Gaochang, all the way without encountering the enemy, if there is an emergency, its first reaction must be to turn back to Gaochang and retreat, our army can be false at the east gate, and then most of the ambush on both sides of the dense forest in the west of the city, when the enemy retreats in a hurry, kill from both sides, when you can get a big victory, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, do not give it a chance to breathe, take advantage of the situation to kill under the city of Gaochang, you will be able to break the enemy!" Dong Qianli carefully looked at the sand table made in a hurry by the moonlight, and said happily.

Liu Qi didn't immediately open his mouth to echo, but after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said: "This strategy is feasible, but I think it can go further, Brother Dong, you see, the Qiuzi people easily took the two cities of Puchang and Yanqi, but they only left hundreds of soldiers and horses to guard, completely unprepared, if our army divides a group of men and horses to attack these two cities, it can be taken down overnight, in this way, the enemy's back road and grain road are broken, even if the troops are still sufficient, the grain will not be enough, once they are trapped under the strong city, they will collapse without a fight, even if Bai Suxin can escape with his life this time." , and only to tie up and capture one, therefore, I think that tonight's battle is mainly to destroy the enemy's baggage, supplemented by destroying the enemy, so it can be done? ”

"Hmm." Dong Qianli pondered for a while and said: "The enemy's baggage is all in the west of the city, and there are heavy guards, and the Chinese army of Bai Suxin's old thief is in the east of the city. ”

"Otherwise, our army does not have to burn the enemy's baggage in the city, you can wait for the enemy to withdraw from the city, and then attack, you can attack it halfway, but the east gate attack is a little stronger, when the enemy army is chaotic, it is bound to flee in swarms, and its baggage will fall behind, take advantage of the chaos to attack it, and it should be at your fingertips." Liu Qi explained with a smile.

Dong Qianli thought for a while and said: "Okay, then it's decided, a certain self-led 3,000 men and horses ambushed in the dense forest outside the west of the city, and Brother Liu led 2,000 people to attack the east of the city?" ”

"It's not proper, the east of the city is just a bluff, there is not much need for people and horses, but if there are too few ambushes in the west of the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to see success, a certain rate of 800 people is enough, and the rest of the people Brother Dong just take it, if the matter is smooth, I can't say that I have to take Bai Suxin's dog life first, this is a great achievement, Brother Dong is not going to rob with a certain one." Liu Qi naturally understood that Dong Qianli was afraid that he would be in danger, so he would send heavy troops to help, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he joked with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Liu must be careful, don't be greedy, just a white heart, kill if you can, if you can't kill him, let him escape, he won't be free for long, sooner or later it's just a meal on the plate." Dong Qianli knew the severity, smiled, and did not refuse Liu Qi's proposal, but he still mentioned it uneasily.

"Okay, then it's decided, without further ado, Brother Dong will immediately lead the army to the west of the city, and a certain general will launch an offensive around three o'clock in the city, with the fire in the city as the number." Liu Qi shook Dong Qianli's outstretched hand, said with a smile, the two looked at each other and smiled, broke up separately, and went to order the people to act according to the plan without mentioning it......

At three o'clock, the moon has set, but the sun has not yet risen, it is the darkest hour of the day, of course, it is also the sweetest time for people to sleep, especially people who have been tired for a few days, at this time even thunder may not be able to wake up, Tuoxun City in the turtle army has been running around for days and experienced the hard battle under Gaochang City, at this time has already slept groggy, in addition to a few light and dark sentinels in the city are still insisting, the rest are all immersed in sleep, even the worried Bai Suxin is no exception, Even those patrolmen who were still wandering among the ruins of the city looked listless at this time, and their patrols were very sloppy, at most perfunctory, and it was impossible to expect them to discover the enemy's situation, no, a group of ten horsemen lazily wandered along the debris-covered streets in the east of the city towards the dilapidated east gate, but they did not notice at all that a large group of men and horses had infiltrated the abandoned houses on both sides of the street at the city gate, and they did not even notice that dozens of crossbow arrows had quietly locked them, They never noticed that the Grim Reaper was smirking over their heads, and they wandered around with their heads exhausted.

Just as the cavalry had reached the gate of the city and had just turned around and walked the way they came, a broken cry suddenly sounded in the quiet night: "Kill!" Suddenly, dozens of crossbows that had already locked on to their targets were shot suddenly, and a row of steel arrows shot out, with a roar of death towards the unsuspecting Guizi rangers, and before those rangers understood what was going on, they were shot into hedgehogs by a dense rain of arrows, and the screams of the dying immediately rang out violently, breaking the silence before dawn, and with this scream, the sand thieves who had been lurking in various places in the city that were prone to ignition immediately moved in unison, igniting more than a dozen fires in the city. Immediately after that, hundreds of cavalry roared out of the dense forest outside the east gate, roared and slaughtered into the east gate, shouting all the way to Bai Suxin's Chinese army tent, where they passed, all the officers and soldiers who rushed out of the chaos died tragically under the scimitar of Xueliang, for a while, the city was in a panic, and the Qiuzi soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep were running around, the officers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not see the officials, how could the word "chaos" be obtained.

"Bastard, chaos, someone, blow the assembly trumpet!" Bai Suxin, who was awakened from his sleep by the shouts of killing, didn't care about putting on his armor, and rushed out of the Chinese army's tent with only a single coat, kicked over a panicked guard in front of the tent, and shouted loudly.

"Marshal, it's the Tang Army, the Tang Army is here!" A personal guard general rushed out of the chaotic army, and as soon as he saw Bai Suxin, he hurriedly reported in a loud voice.

"Tang Jun? How is this possible? How many centaurs came? Bai Suxin was stunned for a moment, grabbed the general, and asked in disbelief.

"Dashuai, it's too dark, I can't see how many enemies there are, but I can listen to the movement, there seem to be a lot of people, there are fires in many places in the city, the enemy army enters from the east gate, and is killing the big tent of the Chinese army, the general of the left army, Bai Sigrad, has led his troops to meet the attack, but he can't stop the attack of the Tang army, and he sent the last general to report to the marshal, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and it is not good for the battle, please withdraw the army first, and General Bai voluntarily leads the troops to break off." The general of the personal guard did not dare to slack off, and told the battle situation one after another, and his tone was extremely panicked.

Attack by the enemy in the dark, if you defend on the spot, there is still a chance to win, if you really blindly withdraw the army, you will only lose more miserably, this article can be understood as long as it is for the generals, but it is difficult to do it, without him, unless it is a strong army with iron fighting, otherwise under the attack, the army has been confused, how to resist the enemy, moreover, at this moment the fire in the city has begun to spread, once you resist on the spot, I am afraid that you will fall into the fire, and the whole army will be wiped out, therefore, knowing that the withdrawal of the army at this time may be dangerous, Bai Suxin can't take care of a lot, Throwing off the trusted general, he snatched a scimitar from the hand of one of the guards beside him, and ordered in a loud voice: "Order, blow the trumpet immediately, the whole army withdraws from the west of the city, and lines up on the spot outside the city, and those who dare to disobey the order and escape without permission will be killed!" ”

Suddenly, the horn sounded loudly in the city, and the Qiuzi army, which was originally chaotic like a headless fly, heard the horn sounded, calmed down a little, and rushed to the west of the city, rushing out of the city of Tuoxun, which was getting bigger and bigger, but did not flee far, and gradually gathered together in the west of the city, and gradually had some order under the pressure of the officers' bullets, and the course of things did not seem to develop as discussed by Liu and Dong Er, in the face of such a situation, how should the Tang army respond? Maybe a counterattack will be staged here......
