Chapter 208: Hole Cards
I never dreamed that on the first day of stepping on the battlefield, Yu Baiyu, who would encounter the almost impossible to defeat 100,000 Tubo iron horsemen, finished his words in one breath, but he was extremely aggrieved in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Li Tiantu, in fact, he still has an unfinished word, even if it converges with the army in the city, although the Xuantie black cavalry is brave, but the number of defenders in the city is at most 20,000, and it is still not big to win with 40,000 against 100,000.
Li Tiantu smiled mysteriously and said lightly: "If I want you to secretly go around to the commander tent of the Tubo army, can you be sure to break through the defensive formation formed by at least 20,000 Tubo iron horsemen around the tent in a stick of incense?" ”
Yu Baiyu, who didn't know much about Li Tiantu but clearly felt his intentions, took a deep breath of cold air and said softly: "My lord wants to capture the thief and capture the king first?" ”
Li Tiantu nodded slightly, and glanced at Su Ling'er meaningfully, but a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.
Su Ling'er, who had been paying attention to her son-in-law, suddenly realized something, and immediately said, "Childe, you have no other choice. ”
Is there an alternative?
It is very likely that the injured ghost Wushen is still hiding in Xizhou City, and the Linghu who is pressing on Li Bu's side is innocent and cannot move.
Gong Diagram? As the king of killers, Gong Tu is on the line of assassination, and this time it is a strong attack, which is not appropriate.
There is only Su Ling'er.
This little girl who has won the true legend of Agui, and is equipped with the Kunwu sword, the first weapon in the rivers and lakes that sharpens iron like mud, is the best candidate to assassinate Wulang, the commander of the 100,000 army of Tubo.
Yu Baiyu, who was full of doubts and uncertainties, couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first is good, but being able to break through the defense of the commander of the army in Tubo is different from capturing and killing Wulang. No matter how bad Wu Lang's skills are, he is still a first-class master realm, and there are several top masters of the Great Luo Palace around him, and it is almost possible to kill Wu Lang in an army of 100,000. ”
Speaking of this, the black knight general, who suddenly came to his senses, glanced at Su Ling'er, who had an unusual reaction, and said with a sudden change of color: "My lord, you are not going to let Miss Ling'er follow us to assassinate Wu Lang, right?"
Li Tiantu smiled at Yu Bai Yu, who reacted very quickly, and nodded: "Don't underestimate Ling'er, Bai Yu, although you are good, you are far worse than Ling'er." ”
Yu Baiyu, who was eager to try, finally resisted the impulse in his heart, the timing was not right at the moment, and if he lost the fight and lost to a little girl, the prestige he had built up in front of his subordinates would be completely over.
Li Tiantu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the bright moon hung high above his head, and suddenly said: "Bai Yu, I order you to lead the Xuantie Black Cavalry at dawn tomorrow to go around the pile of rocks behind the Tubo Central Army Commander's Tent in the south of the city before noon, and when I lead the Five Thousand Mo Sword Cavalry to send out the troops, I will storm the Tubo Central Army Commander's Tent." ”
Yu Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Li Tiantu put his eyes on the little girl holding the sword again, and said softly: "Ling'er, you will stay here tonight, and tomorrow you will arrive in the south of the city with Bai Yu, and when the Xuantie Black Cavalry breaks through the enemy's defenses and arrives at the Shuai Tent, you are responsible for capturing Wulang." ”
Su Ling'er shook the Kunwu sword in her hand, and said with a smile: "Childe, it's okay to have it." ”
Yu Baiyu repeatedly looked at the Kunwu Sword in Su Ling'er's hand, which was not outstanding in appearance, and couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time.
Li Tiantu got up and stretched, and said lightly: "Bai Yu, I have handed over the safety of Miss Ling'er to you, if Ling'er has any mistakes this time, you can come to see me." ”
Yu Bai Yu suddenly felt like he was about to fall to the ground at this moment, and the elegant man in front of him who spoke indifferently suddenly gave him the feeling of being on the back of a mountain. He suddenly remembered a sentence from the iron law of the inheritance of the Xuantie Black Rider, "The person who can control the Xuantie Black Rider is not an ordinary person after all." Sure enough, Xuanjizi is like this, Yun Tiancheng is like this, and so is the young man in front of him.
As if reacquainting himself with Li Tiantu, Yu Bai Yu half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The subordinate black horsemen will swear to protect Miss Ling'er to the death with Bai Yu and his subordinates. ”
It was about Ling'er's safety, and Li Tiantu, who couldn't help but say something a little heavy, nodded lightly and walked away.
Su Ling'er stared at Li Tiantu without blinking and disappeared into the hazy place of the night, tightening the sword in her arms, and a kind of joy from the bottom of her heart was full of joy.
Li Tiantu returned to the city along the original road, and he must pass through the northern camp of Tubo City. Under the strong wall and clear wilderness, the camp of the Tubo people was surrounded by empty land, and it was originally difficult to fly birds, but when the Tubo patrol on the night vigil saw that the person who came was the green-shirted demon who had previously regarded the two thousand iron armor as nothing, they invariably chose to turn a blind eye. Li Tiantu was stunned and immediately swaggered straight away from the eyes of the patrol, and when he passed by, he found that every soldier in the patrol team lowered his eyebrows, and each looked at his trembling legs.
Li Tiantu didn't hurt anyone, and passed by with a smile.
Seeing Li Tiantu walk to the Tubo ten-person patrol at the foot of Xizhou City, and then saw the Qingyi Demon jumping from the bottom of the cliff, jumping three or two feet, the gap was only borrowed by the tiny convex stone of the cliff, and the three jumps arrived at the top of the ten-zhang high cliff in Xizhou City, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and exclaimed that they had just walked away from the ghost gate.
In the city of Xizhou, Li Tiantu walked through the streets and alleys and went straight to the Anxi Duhu Mansion in the center of the city, and Li Bu, who was sitting in the mansion, was indeed as he expected, and he did not sleep late at night.
Li Bu, who was dressed in military uniform, sat on a handsome tiger skin chair with his back to the main entrance of the hall, frowning and looking at the huge map of Anxi's territory, so that Li Tiantu approached and realized that the old man suddenly got up, raised his eyebrows and said: "Li Duhu has never rested?" ”
Behind the chair, the map of Anxi's territory is extremely detailed, the entire map is drawn in unknown animal skins, and the entire wall is hung on the entire wall, and although the chart is slightly yellow, the thick curves that have been deeply traced on it are clearly visible.
Li Tiantu looked directly at the square inch south of Xizhou City on the map, and asked rhetorically: "My lord, can this map be accurate?" ”
Li Bu didn't care about Li Tiantu's answer, and stroked his gray beard and said proudly: "The Western Regions are remote and vast and the terrain is complex, all of them are desolate and mysterious places, and even the map of the territory of the Western Regions hidden in the Imperial Palace's Inner Secret Treasure Room is not exhaustive. Since the old man was honored as the protector of the capital of Anxi thirty years ago, he began to draw the map of the Western Regions of the Heavenly Dynasty, and it took ten years, which can be regarded as perfect. ”
Li Tiantu moved his gaze to the eye-catching pile of rocks in the south of the city on the map, and roared: "My lord, do you think we still have a chance in this battle?" ”
Li Bu sighed and said in a heavy voice: "Defeat is only a matter of time. Maybe surrendering Kaesong now is the best choice, after all, no matter how cruel Tubo is, at most he will kill my old bones and the 20,000 Anxi Erlang behind me, and the 50,000 people in the city will be unharmed. Unfortunately, I can't. It is not because of the monstrous grace given by the imperial court, but because the country is greater than the people. Half a year later, let me and these Anxi Erlang behind me break the halberd and sink into the sand to atone for the sins of the people in this city. ”
