Li Siye squinted his eyes and looked around for a week, no one has come out for the time being, there is such an opportunity today, if you don't seize the opportunity today, when will you be able to get out of position

He immediately stepped forward and said, "General Fumeng, my subordinates have some opinions."

A few Yu Marquis around, the official looked at the captain of this regiment, such a military meeting, it was not Li Siye's turn to participate, how did he get in It seems that he captured a tongue alive, this person is quite a needle.

Fu Meng Lingcha put his hands behind his back and nodded: "You say."

He immediately crossed his hands and said, "There are hills and pastures near Talas, and there is very little farmland, and there is not much grain in the city, but there are many livestock. Half a month ago, they began to drive out the old, weak, sick and disabled, store pasture, and made up their minds to hold the city. The Turgish people are good at cavalry field warfare, not good at fortification, and now they give up their advantage to defend the city, doesn't it just show that they don't have enough troops in the city?"

Fu Meng Lingcha stroked his green beard and nodded: "It makes sense, but the city defense of Talas City is better than that of Broken Leaves, and it is not easy to attack the city, Captain Li has a strategy."

Li Siye confidently continued: "The subordinate has an immature idea......

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"According to the confession of the tongue I have just captured, the city sends men to harvest autumn grass outside the city every day for storage, why don't we attack these forage harvesting teams, and after destroying them, send a small army disguised as forage harvesters, hide their weapons in grass trucks, and then transport them into the city, waiting for the opportunity to join forces with the outside and take the city of Talas."

As soon as he said this, everyone present instinctively shook their heads, and some even looked at him in surprise. Was his plan too naïve? Or is it too risky, and it's not rigorous at all.

It is indeed not rigorous, how can there be no escort force near the team that mows the grass? Will there be rangers and dark whistles along the way? As soon as one person is alarmed and escapes back to Talas alive, the plan to enter the city in disguise will be declared abandoned. Besides, the defenders must have picked up the nearest mowing first, and Talas stood on a high place, overlooking the four fields, within the sight of the city, but whenever there was a disturbance, they would definitely get the news, let alone kill people and set fires.

Fu Meng Lingcha stroked his beard and smacked his mouth with a stern expression: "Your strategy is too risky, if it fails, although it will not hurt the overall situation, it will cost a lot of lives." ”

His gaze bypassed Li Siye and asked the Marquis of Yu and the guards present, "Which of you is willing to take such a big risk and go to make such a miraculous feat?" ”

Everyone stood stunned on the spot, neither inconvenient to shake their heads, nor dared to nod, of course the miraculous feat is willing to stand, but the great danger is unwilling to take it, but this miraculous feat and the great danger are mutually dependent.

Li Siye was secretly happy, knowing that Fu Meng Lingcha was doing it on purpose, in order to block the mouths of others.

Fu Meng Lingcha sighed regretfully, and then turned his eyes to Li Siye and said: "Li Siye, this plan is what you came up with, there must be a lot of certainty, are you willing to go?" ”

Li Siye bowed and crossed his hands and said: "Although I am only sixty percent sure, my subordinates are willing to give it a try, but I have a request." ”

Fu Meng Lingcha waved his hand generously: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"The general also said just now that this strategy is very risky. Li Siye is willing to take risks, so following my brother must also be voluntary. Please give an order to the Seventh Army, those who go voluntarily come to submit their names, drink and swear, and those who are willing to put life and death aside can enter, life and death, and no grudges! ”

Fu Meng was impressed by his daring and reckless arrogance, so he took out the red order flag from his arms, handed it to a marquis next to him, and said: "Take my order flag to send orders to the Seventh Army, assemble in array and recruit fifty people who dare to die to enter Talas, and cooperate with the outside to help the army break the city!" ”

……

The stars are hung in the deep blue sky, the bonfires in the city are lit, the torches are arranged like stars, and the 5,000 people of the Anxi army are arrayed in the open space in the city with six flowers.

Carrying torches, he walked past the soldiers, whose silhouettes stood like terracotta figurines, and he could not see their faces or discern whether they were bold or timid.

"Today there is a great merit, but it is also a great danger, it is necessary to select fifty people who dare to die, mix in the lawn mowing team of Talas out of the city, enter the city to cooperate with the outside world, and guide the army to attack Talas."

The soldiers were silent, hesitating and watching is the attitude they should have, and the generals couldn't wait to jump out as soon as they announced the order, which was either stupid or long-lived.

"A certain person is here to guarantee you with an official position, and after the achievement, the merit book will be reported, and the court will reward the meritorious service, and the non-seven-grade scattered officials are not enough to be rewarded. If a brother is buried in the city, the official is willing to give away his own merits to repay you with a generous pension, and the pension will be more than 100,000 yuan, benefiting your family! If you are willing to sign up, you can stand behind this Captain Li. ”

The soldiers glanced up in the direction of Li Siye, and then exchanged their heads and whispered.

"I'm coming!"

There are indeed masters of art who are bold, and a sturdy man came out of the crowd, although he is not as strong as Li Siye, but it is not far away. He strode up to Li Siye, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and then stood behind him.

"And me!"

Li Siye looked up, but it was Tian Zhen who walked out of the queue and came straight to him, and said in a low voice: "If you don't call me in advance for this kind of thing, what are you doing to select the dead, you are not interesting enough." ”

"I'll do it too!"

At this time, Fujimaki walked out of the queue, walked up to him, bowed, and stood behind him.

"And me!"

Yuan Tao and Yan Xiaosi were listed separately, each standing behind Li Siye.

"Me!"

A person who looked very thin came out of the ranks, looking a little polite and polite, and walked over and saluted Li Siye.

With the people in front of him as an example, soldiers kept coming out of the queue and coming behind Li Siye, and fifty people quickly gathered together to form the Tang Army death squad.

Fumon Lingcha ordered the soldiers to disband, leaving only the fifty who had volunteered to stand up. Li Siye turned around with his hands behind his back, raised his head with his chest straight, scanned everyone, and found that the people of the Eighth Regiment accounted for nearly thirty percent.

But the team seems to be a bit mixed, he thought that he dared to come to join the Wonder Soldier team, there should be two brushes in his hands. But some people who are as thin as bamboo poles and have a bookish temperament don't know their catties?

"This time it is extremely dangerous to sneak into Talas City and go deep into the enemy camp, which can be described as nine deaths. I know that everyone's courage is commendable, but what I need is a warrior with high means, and some people who are not skilled in killing enemies should not participate, so as not to affect others and themselves. ”

He shouted a warning to everyone, but his eyes were fixed on the thin man who looked like a scholar, hoping that he would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties, and only one lonely courage would not work.

The scholar immediately walked out of the queue, he was a little lower than Li Siye, but he raised his head and asked him, "Is the captain suspicious of my incompetence?" ”

At this juncture, Li Siye was not tactful to him, and said directly: "I see that you are thin and fleshless, how can you participate in the war with such a body and bones?" ”

The scholar also had no complaints, and asked Li Siye indifferently: "Does Captain Li want to teach me sword skills or crossbow arrows?" ”

"We're all carrying crossbows on this trip, so try your archery skills." He pointed to the torches that were erected on the wall in the distance and said, "There are three torches there, the nearest is about a hundred paces, and the farthest is more than two hundred paces. ”

Without saying a word, the scholar took off the crossbow from behind his back, wound it with his foot, and shot it with a thud, and the torches on the city wall fell and extinguished in the darkness.

Li Siye was just about to clap his hands and praise, but the scholar bent down and stepped on the string again, put in the arrow, this time aiming a little, raised the crossbow arm a few points, and pulled the crossbow machine.

It was dark and it was impossible to see the trajectory of the crossbow arrows, and the torches farther away from the city walls fell to the ground and gradually extinguished.

The distance of this torch was nearly one hundred and fifty paces, and although the target was very conspicuous, it was not easy to shoot at such a distance when the reference object failed at night.

Li Siye solemnly arched his hands and was about to speak. The scholar stepped on the crossbow under his feet, removed the awl from the belt around his waist, ejected the wooden pin of the tenon, adjusted the crossbow machine backwards, and wound it with both hands, which was equivalent to adjusting the maximum range of the crossbow.

He turned his head to look at the poplar next to the adobe house, the branches and leaves swaying in the breeze, and then he slowly lifted the crossbow arm up with his crossbow arm until he reached nearly forty-five degrees, and pulled the crossbow machine.

Everyone present widened their eyes and looked up, looking towards the sky for the parabolic trajectory of the crossbow arrow, and then slowly lowered their eyes in unison, until they saw the faint point of light in the distance fall to the ground, swaying for a few moments, and finally extinguished.
