The city of Talas is very close to the Persian style, the city wall is based on chisel stone, even the battlements are semicircular, there is a cylindrical watchtower on the top of the city wall, and you are used to seeing the square and orderly city of the Central Plains, this kind of mellow beauty is indeed novel, like a pearl left in the mountains.

Li Siye didn't care to admire this beautiful city, and led his soldiers to bend down towards the location of the lawn mowering team.

They set up in ambush in a hidden place on the hill and secretly observed the mowing party of sixty or seventy people. There were forty young and strong laborers in the procession, and the division of labor was clear, some wielding sickles to harvest waist-high pasture, some were responsible for bundling into balls, and some were responsible for loading. There are more than 20 yak carts lined up on the grassy slope, and the grass is tightly bundled on the carts.

More than twenty samurai mounted on horseback, evenly scattered around the mowing procession, these men with whips in their hands, punished certain young men who were slacking off. It seems that the role of these people is, at best, overseers, and the nature of protection is lower.

He was much more relieved now, with the superb killing skills of their fifty people, it was more than enough to clean up more than 20 overseers.

The only thing to worry about was that the grassy slope was still in sight of Talas, especially the tall cylindrical watchtowers at the four corners of the city, and they would be able to spot the battle on this side as soon as possible.

Everyone burrowed into the bushes, waiting for Li Siye's order, if they struck faster, they should be able to avoid the sight of Talas City.

However, Li Siye lay silently in the grass, lowered his head and squinted, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't snore, everyone thought he was going to fall asleep.

Tian Zhen crawled to his side and asked in a low voice, "How is it, when will we do it." ”

"Wait."

"Wait? When to go, according to the agreement, the army will be assembled under the city of Talas tomorrow, and if we cannot infiltrate the city today, it will be a failure. ”

"Then we have to wait," Li Siye said calmly, "It's better to fall short than to startle the snake." We must not allow the enemy to suspect our aim. If there is no suitable time to make a move today, then send someone back to inform you of the postponement. ”

It seems that Li Siye is very stubborn, and Tian Zhen has no way to persuade him to change his mind.

The sun had already set from the eastern half to the western half, until the sun was about to sink into the ground, and the mowing team returned with a full load.

Li Siye always led the death squad to lie firmly in the bushes, and did not act rashly.

He called Fujimu, who had a suppressed emotion on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't there a cavalry team in the rear to meet us, you should turn back at once now, and inform them to send someone back to the city to deliver a message, so that the army can postpone the departure by one day, and you can return tomorrow morning." ”

Although Fujimaki had an opinion, he resolutely carried out Li Siye's order, and he turned back on foot and contacted the cavalry team that responded.

In order to prevent the watchtower of Talas from seeing the bonfires at night, they walked an extra three miles, got into the shadowy side of the mountain, and built three bonfires.

At night, there are herds of wild beasts on the meadows on the slopes of Talas Mountain, and from time to time dozens of pairs of glowing green eyes can be seen, and they let out a sharp long whistling sound, approaching dozens of meters away from the campfire.

The soldiers drew their swords from their waists, wound their crossbows, maintained a squatting fighting posture, and stood by the campfire to meet the wolves, perhaps the wolves saw the danger of these people in their eyes, and knew that this was another greedy predatory animal, so they chose to retreat.

It was only after the wolves retreated that the soldiers relaxed, some of them already sweating from the hilts of their swords. These wolves in the wilderness under the Tianshan Mountains are by no means comparable to the wolves in the Central Plains. Three or five wolves in the Central Plains can be called a group, hundreds of wolves under the Tianshan Mountains are in groups, there is a wolf king in the group, and the group activities are good at hunting.

The soldiers sat opposite each other, and they were still relatively unfamiliar with each other, and the people of the eighth regiment gathered around Li Siye, like a small group.

Li Siye took the initiative to come out of the small team, sat in the middle of the soldiers, and said to them with a smile: "I met a wolf just now, I want to tell you a little story about wolves, the animal that can be hunted in the world is probably the wolf." They know how to wait for the right moment and are disciplined. I had the privilege of listening to a master tell the story of a wolf hunt. In order to prey on a flock of yellow sheep, they can lie in wait in the grass nest all night until all the yellow sheep fall asleep. But at this time, they don't do anything, but wait for the dawn when the yellow sheep is about to wake up. The yellow sheep ate the dew grass and digested it all night, and their bladders swelled in the morning...... Eventually, all the yellow sheep were driven into the snow lake, and their entire army was wiped out. ”

He told everyone the story in the wolf totem, anyway, this thing is not unfamiliar, and it is easier to resonate.

"Hey, my God, I can't imagine that wolves are so good, we have formations for fighting, and they have rules for hunting."

Even Bai Xiaode, who was carrying two guns, and Duan Xiushi, a scholar, turned around and were very interested in the story told by Li Siye.

He said eloquently: "Every living creature living under the sky has its way of survival, and the way of survival of our people is to learn, learn from our ancestors, learn from heaven, and learn from animals." Wolves can lie dormant waiting for the best time, why can't we? Isn't this just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions to endure?"

After hearing these words, Duan Xiushi's gaze at Li Siye suddenly changed. He is a reader, and it is easier to make extended associations with these words, although the truth is very simple, but it refreshes his cognition of this person. From yesterday's crossbow shooting to the present, in his impression, Li Siye is just a bold and reckless man, although he has a little plan, but he has no big plan.

But now, can a person who can say such a thing be a person without a plan? It seems that Anxi and others have come out in large numbers, and I, Duan Xiu, are really looking down on the world.

He took the initiative to come to Li Siye's side, crossed his hands and said, "Captain Li, what you just said, I deeply believe it. Dare to ask Captain Li, what can we learn from the Heavenly Dao? ”

If this question is really answered by the martial artist Li Siye, he will definitely not be able to answer it, but for the current all-powerful Li Siye, he is also a person who has touched the keyboard for a few years, and he can talk nonsense for a while.

"The way of heaven is only natural, unpredictable, not violated, but there is a law to be found, this law is the law of the way of heaven, the sun, moon and stars, the ebb and flow of the tide, all have their own laws, beyond this law, the way of heaven is not chaotic. We are the same, if we follow the laws and obey the laws of heaven, we can succeed, and if we go against the way of heaven, we will bring about our own destruction. ”

This next paragraph Xiushi admired Li Siye even more, he did not quote scriptures and classics, but the sentences and the truth in the classics are the same, which is right in his heart. Sure enough, people can't look good, who would have thought that a martial artist who is seven feet tall and has a strong body can say such philosophical words.

He only now really thinks that it is indeed a good time for General Fumeng to choose such a person to lead them to venture in, no, it is simply overkill.

In any case, Li Siye can't die this time, he wants to use the crossbow in his hand to protect his safety, he wants to keep him alive, brave people are everywhere, but interesting souls are one in a hundred.

As for Bai Xiaode, who was sitting on the other side, he was a martial artist who could only dance with knives and guns, and he didn't know anything about what Li Siye had just said, but it sounded very lofty, so he couldn't help but feel a little more awe.

The bonfire danced and rose in the night, and a group of men sat around the circle of fire, leaving their backs to the darkness and whispering. They may have been strangers before, but now they are familiar with each other and are familiar with each other.

When they woke up the next day, they packed their bags and carried their bows on their backs. Li Siye ordered them to remove the traces of the bonfire, cover it with floating soil, and transplant grass on it.

They climbed the ridge, and the city of Talas still stood under the clear blue sky, and on the grassy road pressed by the ruts in the distance, the black surnamed Tucai Shi Ranger was guiding the yaks in front of them, driving the strong men towards the grassy slope here.

Li Siye bent down and said in a low voice: "The grass slope on the sunny side of the mountain has almost been harvested by them, as long as they drive to the mountain yin side and block the view of Talas City, we can do it."
