Xu Youchang immediately reacted: "Are you going to kidnap the Turkic general, and then exchange him for an antidote?" ”

"That's all there is to it." Li Jiangyao said coldly: "The Turks sent people to assassinate, either because they had premeditated it, or because they were taking revenge on us for Ge Shuxuan's death. In short, it has nothing to do with the ghost fighting clan! If you want to save Lao Xie, you can only coerce the enemy's weighty big man and force the Ghost Dou Clan to come out with the antidote. ”

Xu Youchang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll arrange manpower immediately." ”

Li Jiangyao waved his hand: "No need, I'll go by myself." ”

"How's that going to work?!" Xu Youchang hurriedly said: "You are the commander of the whole army, it is a joke to go deep into the enemy camp and capture the enemy generals alive!" The Pegasus Scout Battalion, the Ghost-Faced White-Robed Army, and the Intelligence Division, who can't go? ”

Li Jiangyao subconsciously glanced at Xiahou Ninghan beside him, and then said to Xu Youchang and the generals: "In terms of martial arts and scout tactics, who of them can compare to me?" When there are too many people, it will delay things. Friend, there is no need to discuss this anymore, if you are injured and poisoned, I will go too; If it were me who was injured and poisoned lying here, you didn't hesitate either, didn't you? Tanzhi is my brother, and I can't die without help. ”

Xu Youchang looked at Xie Tanzhi who was lying on the bed, turned his head and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" How can I keep myself safe? ”

Li Jiangyao said calmly: "Let the Eighth Army go out of the city and pretend to take the initiative to challenge the enemy, while I will take advantage of the opportunity of the two sides to blend in with the enemy, and then sneak into their camp to find the target to attack." ”

Xu Youchang frowned: "The Turks can fight well and be brave and fierce, especially those noble generals, none of them are weak. If you can't hold them down in a few moves, you'll be in a bitter battle surrounded by enemies. ”

Li Jiangyao showed a sneer: "Who said that big shots are masters?" I know a guy who has very loose martial arts. ”

"Who?"

"Our old friend, His Highness Thanley."

Xu Youchang was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "Second prince, hehe, it's true." But ......"

He paused, then continued, "However, how can you be sure that the Ghost Fighting Clan will obediently come up with the antidote?" In case they replace ...... with counterfeit medicines"

"You think too much," Li Jiangyao said lightly: "After capturing Tanley, I will stab him twice with the assassin's poisonous needle, whatever is fake or not, whatever they want." ”

Xu Youchang was stunned again: Such a simple and straightforward method, why didn't I think of it?

At this time, Xiahou Ning Han said softly: "I want to go with you." ”

Li Jiangyao turned his head to look at her: "No." I'm going to get distracted, you know? ”

Xiahou Ninghan looked at Li Jiangyao quietly, waited for a moment, and nodded lightly.

Li Jiangyao raised his hand to comb the hair on her sideburns: "Ning Han, wait for me, I will come back safely." Don't forget, we still have an agreement to complete. ”

-

The Eighth Army of Zhenjiang Cold Wave, which is also a newly upgraded heavy infantry corps, is not much different from the Sixth Army in terms of equipment and tactics.

After receiving Xu Youchang's order, the Eighth Army immediately dispatched a banner of troops to go out of the city in a crescent moon formation to meet the Fifth Army of the Golden Clan, which was arrayed.

The Turks did not expect that the Zhenjiang Army would take the initiative to provoke, so they immediately divided two divisions of cavalry to attack the Eighth Army from the left and right.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in front of the Zijin Pass.

The heavy infantry of the Eighth Army was stubborn and compact, moving like a moving castle, unafraid of the bows and arrows of the cavalry. On the other hand, on the Turkic side, they were hit one after another by the javelins and crossbows of the heavy infantry, and they fell on their backs.

The two sides confronted each other in place for half an hour, and suddenly there was a horn sound from the head of the city of Zijin Pass, and the crescent moon formation, which had been gathered together, quickly dispersed, and the heavy infantry roared in unison, each attacking the enemy in front of them.

For a time, the positional battle turned into a tragic hand-to-hand combat, with cavalry and infantry mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish between you and me.

"Dadu Hu, almost!"

After receiving the officer's signal, Li Jiangyao tore off the black cloak on his body, revealing the Turkic military uniform inside, and shouted: "You rush to the left!" As he spoke, he leaned over and fell to the ground.

In accordance with the order, the covering team roared and rushed to a group of Turkic cavalry on the left, leaving Li Jiangyao in his place.

When the soldiers were far away, Li Jiangyao saw the opportunity, jumped up from the ground, jumped on a deserted war horse not far away, and then galloped quickly to the east.

At this time, Xu Youchang in the city had already seen the banner raised by the covering team, and knew that Li Jiangyao had broken away from the team and blended into the enemy army, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn and let the Eighth Army quickly withdraw to Zijin Pass.

The hoplites were well-trained, and after receiving the order, they regrouped into several defensive phalanxes in a blink of an eye, covering in echelons, and gradually retreating.

Seeing that the other party was so calm, the Turks could no longer take advantage of it, so they had to shrink their ranks, quickly withdraw from the shooting range of the bow and arrow at the head of the city, and return to their own formation.

Li Jiangyao did not wait for the Fifth Army Corps to sort out the ranks and count the number of people, and took advantage of the dim sky to sneak directly to the Turkic camp located further behind.

He was familiar with the Turkic military system and could speak standard Turkic dialect, so he was not afraid of being seen out by the other party, and mixed in with the ranks of wounded soldiers, and easily entered the barracks. By this time it was completely dark, and the Turkic camp was full of bonfires, and the soldiers who had not participated in the battle were stewing mutton and baking bread, chatting and waiting for the meal to begin, in a relaxed and unguarded atmosphere.

Li Jiangyao estimated that the second prince Tanli had a noble status, and his camp must be in a relatively more central location, so he went all the way to the middle of the camp, and carefully observed as he walked.

After a while, the golden wolf banner of the Eleventh Legion appeared in front of him.

Li Jiangyao was overjoyed. He found a corner with few people, dodged and sneaked into the camp of the Golden Wolf Army, still following the habits of the Turks to camp, and slowly touched the location of the main general's big tent.

Sure enough, it was Tanley's tent.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince was sitting at the door of the tent at this moment, enjoying a delicious dinner, and by the way, he listened to his subordinates' report on the situation of the eldest brother Chili in Shengyuguan.

In his heart, he really didn't want to see Chi Li successfully attack Sheng Yuguan.

In such a crucial battle related to the fate of the Turkic Empire, once the eldest prince has made great achievements, then the future position of Khan will definitely be impossible for him.

Anything you say, you're going to have to mess with that idiot Akari.

Tanley thought so as he absentmindedly swirled the leg of lamb with a knife, but he didn't know that not far away, a pair of sharp eyes were quietly watching him.

"You are like this," Thanri dropped his knife and instructed his subordinates: "Go to the counties of Yongzhou, and collect cattle, sheep and grain in the name of the eldest prince, the bigger the movement, the better!" ”

The subordinates were stunned: "Your Highness, isn't there a special person in charge of the military quartermaster?" Let's ......"

Tanley sneered: "You know a fart! The sudden collection of a large amount of cattle and sheep grain means that more troops will be gathered on the front line of Shengyuguan, and Li Jiangyao's spies are everywhere in Yongliang, and they will definitely receive the news, and then make judgments and take strict precautions. I want to see if I can't take Sheng Yuguan, how can Chili explain to his father Khan. ”

"Your Highness is clever." His subordinates hurriedly complimented: "You don't need to spend a single soldier, nor do you need to fornicate with the enemy, you can easily break Chili's plan to raid Shengyu Pass, you are really amazing." ”

Tanley snorted nonchalantly, "Who made God so unfair? Let Chili take the lead in everything, and if this continues, will I still have a way to live? ”

The subordinate nodded: "Your Highness is right!" If Chili takes the throne of the Great Khan, it will definitely be unfavorable to His Highness, and we people will not end well either. Rather than cheapen him for nothing, it's better to give it a go. ”

Tanley nodded and waved his hand: "Go ahead!" Hurry up and don't let people take the lead. ”

The subordinate obeyed, turned and hurried away. Tanley pondered for a moment, then picked up the knife again, and began to eat dinner.

At this moment, he, who was naturally sensitive, suddenly felt a chill in his body.

This is a sign of imminent danger!

Thanri raised his head suddenly, and was about to call the guards, but unbeknownst to him, a strong wind struck from his right side, weighing on Tamley's heart.

A figure as fast as lightning, accompanied by the screams and shouts of the guards, swooped to the front, and Tanley reacted quickly, subconsciously throwing the knife in his hand in that direction, and at the same time turned around and rolled to the left.

It's a pity that no matter how fast he moves, falling into Li Jiangyao's eyes is like a turtle walking. Li Jiangyao deftly avoided the flying knife, and flashed behind Tanli with only one vertical leap, and the star-falling sword dragon groaned out of its sheath and pressed on the other party's shoulder.

"Don't move, or you'll die!"

Tanley landed on all fours, pouting his ass and freezing on the spot: "Hero spare your life, if you have something to say, speak slowly!" ”

"Your Highness, tell all your people to stand back," Li Jiangyao said coldly: "Otherwise, I will be easily nervous and my hands will tremble." ”

As he spoke, he really shook the Starfall Knife, and the sharp blade instantly scratched Tanli's flesh.

Stanley was startled and hurriedly shouted, "All go back!" Step back! ”

Then, swallowing his bitter saliva, he tried to ask, "Hero, I hear your voice so familiar, did we know each other before?" ”

Li Jiangyao smiled dumbly: "Don't you just turn your head and take a look?" ”

Tanley cautiously agreed, then slowly turned his head, and when he saw that it was Li Jiangyao, his face suddenly showed a happy look: "Oops! I said, it turned out to be Dadu Hu, hahaha, that's good, that's good. ”

"What's so good?" Li Jiangyao asked with a smile.

"My little brother's life is worry-free." Tanley licked his face and said, "With our deep friendship, most of them must be amusing me, hahaha." ”

Li Jiangyao sent the blade forward and pressed it tightly to Tanli's throat: "Your Highness thinks that I am full and have nothing to do, so I went to the enemy camp to amuse?" ”

Tanley was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't don't, don't be impulsive!" What do you need from my little brother, please feel free to say. ”

Li Jiangyao glanced at the surrounding prince's guards and asked lightly, "Who is the leader of the Ghost Dou Clan here?" ”

Tanley didn't know why he asked this, and replied honestly, "Geshu Beichuan." ”

"Okay, you send someone now, go and call him here for me!"
