When Liu Tianhao's army arrived at the shoal, it was already zero morning, and because it was almost early winter, although it was not said that the weather was cold and frozen, it was also a cold autumn wind, and the people and horses were bleak! Under the light of the torches, the road is still bumpy and difficult!

"Command the army, rest for a while, and the whole army will cross the river!" Liu Tianhao shouted at the herald beside him.

"Yes!" Three or five heralds were ordered to go to the other three barracks.

The army rested for a moment and crossed the river as ordered!

When Liu Tianhao led the army to cross the river, he found that this shoal was really a wonderful place to cross the river, the narrow place was only about 30 meters, and the length was really as Ju Yi said, enough for a hundred horsemen to cross at the same time! The river is also gentle, unlike the section north of Luoyang, the river is turbulent, people can't cross, and they need to rely on rowing and paddle to cross the river.

Even so, it took more than two hours for 15,000 men and horses to cross the river!

After resting again, and each person replenished some drinking water and dry food, Liu Tianhao once again ordered the army to march towards the small city that Ju Yi said!

When it was estimated that it was about twenty miles away from the small city, Liu Tianhao ordered the army to rest on the spot, and called Tai Shici again!

"Ziyi, you're going to have to work hard!"

"My lord, just give the order!" The torches swayed in the dark night, shining so that Tai Shici's immature face receded slightly, and his face appeared at the beginning of masculinity!

"Well, I order you to lead two hundred light horsemen, with a number of men and horses, and a reconnoiter around that small city!" Liu Tianhao commanded.

"Yes, I'll go!" Although the army has been on the road in the middle of the night, Tai Shici still has no complaints, the more people and horses are in his hands, and he naturally can't shirk the task of galloping reconnaissance.

Tai Shici was about to turn around and leave after speaking, but Liu Tianhao stopped him again from behind, "Ziyi, don't panic, you go this time, you must focus on reconnaissance, the southwest and southwest sides of the small city!" If there is a stir, retreat quickly! ”

"Ziyi knows, I'll go!" Tai Shi Ci strode away!

After Tai Shici left, Liu Tianhao and others rested on the spot! Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang still supervised their own armies, and only Tai Shici's 3,000 men and horses relied on Liu Tianhao.

Liu Tianhao couldn't figure it out, why did the Southern Xiongnu rebel now? Didn't history rebel until after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and the Han army was tired of dealing with national riots? Moreover, the reason why the Xiongnu and Huqiang in the Hetao area rebelled was also because the Han Dynasty wantonly transferred these small strong men into the army, which provoked their popular rebellion and led to the rebellion!

Today, although the Han Dynasty is corrupt and degenerate, the official and military establishment is still intact and ready for duty! How dare these people kill Qiangqu? Qiangqu, a single throne, was supported by the Han Dynasty to canonize it!

I really can't figure it out!

About an hour later, the two hundred light horsemen led by Tai Shi Ci reconnoitred and returned.

"How?" Liu Tianhao hurriedly stepped forward and handed Tai Shici a bag of water and wine to warm him up.

"Report to the lord, the head of the small city wall is brightly lit, and the city wall is full of soldiers guarding the city, going back and forth, patrolling and guarding!" Tai Shici took a sip of wine and exhaled a breath of white air.

"Oh? Are there so many soldiers? Didn't Ju Yi say that there were only a thousand soldiers in the city who could fight? Moreover, this small city has been fighting for a few days, so there shouldn't be so many people! That's weird! By the way, Ziyi, are you sure that the people who patrol the city are all moving back and forth? Liu Tianhao couldn't figure out how there were so many soldiers patrolling the city in this small city, this is completely inconsistent with what Ju Yi said! But it's good that the city isn't broken, at least there's a chance to be rescued!

"Uh... I'm far away, and I can't see it very clearly, but when the lord says this, it seems that only a small group of people are moving! The other figures are standing still on the wall! Moreover, the person who moved was also slow, poured... It's not like a powerful soldier of Kongwu! Tai Shi Ci thought about it slightly, and also thought of some of the doubts.

Liu Tianhao was slightly stunned when he heard Tai Shici say this, it seems that there are talents in this small city, and at night, take advantage of the dim light to let dummies or the old, weak, sick and disabled go to the city, pretending to be soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers who can really fight should be recuperating in order to prepare for the battle after dawn!

There's a lot to say here, not only the strategy of repairing the plank road and secretly crossing the city warehouse, but also the courage to break the cauldron! Of course, the matter of Ming Xiu plank road and secretly crossing the city warehouse has not happened yet, Zhuge Liang is still a bare-ass child, and his apprentice Jiang Wei doesn't know where it is!

However, it is said that it is a broken boat, but it is not wrong at all, either there are really no soldiers in this small city, or the people who defend the city are too bullish, and the people outside the casino city dare not attack the city at night, so they basically give up the night defense and focus on letting the soldiers who can fight rest, so as to recuperate their spirit and prepare for war for a hundred days.

How could the defenders of this city dare to predict that the soldiers of the outer cities of Dingcheng would not dare to attack the city at night? In case Xiaoxiao outside the city tries to attack the city, then this empty defense will be exposed at once, which is equivalent to sending his head under the rebel butcher's knife.

Liu Tianhao turned his head and thought again, there are definitely cattle people in the city, not because they were crippled, otherwise they would definitely not make the city wall brightly lit! Swagger! This is a standard foolish posture!

Superior, definitely superior!

"How's it going out of town?" Compared with the situation in the city, Liu Tianhao pays more attention to the outside of the city!

"Well, judging from the size of the rebel camp outside the city, it is estimated that there are about 3,000 people! But the men were assembled in the camp to rest during the night, and they did not lay siege to the city! Moreover, the rebel battalion did not do any defense, and there were no means such as rejecting horses and trapping them! Tai Shici's investigation of the rebels' situation obviously took a lot of effort.

"Oh... Then there can be reconnaissance behind the rebels? Are there any abnormalities? Liu Tianhao asked again, what he was more concerned about was that if these 3,000 people were just bait, then if he moved blindly, he would probably suffer a big loss!

He didn't want to be eaten by poisonous snakes after being a yellow finch and catching a praying mantis!

"Twenty miles behind, there is no other situation!" Tai Shi Ci said very confidently.

"Okay, I've worked hard for you, so you can rest here with me for a while!" Liu Tianhao said to Tai Shici again.

Tai Shi Ci said that it was not hard, sat down on the spot and put on a animal skin, closed his eyes and breathed!

"A few of you, go and call Lu Fengxian, Guan Yunchang and Xu Gongming to me!" Liu Tianhao learned the general situation from Tai Shici's reconnaissance, and hurriedly ordered his personal guards to summon the other generals of the three armies.

After a cup of tea, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang all gathered in front of Liu Tianhao, and Liu Tianhao told them about Tai Shici's investigation one by one.

The three of them didn't say anything, just stared at Liu Tianhao, knowing that Liu Tianhao was about to make a strategic deployment!

From this point of view, it is very likely that Liu Tianhao is going to have another night raid battle!
