Tang Que pulled the knife out of his chest, and blood suddenly spurted out like an arrow, and his body gradually softened, and he died with unwilling eyes. Tang Que pressed his hand to the wound on his chest, and two drops of blood, which were obviously different from other blood, were sucked out of his heart, which was a red that was close to black, and the blood droplets gradually melted into Tang Que's palm, Tang Que withdrew his hand and turned the jīng blood into the Xia Dantian, becoming part of the sea of blood.

No matter how many times he killed someone, Tang Que didn't have any special feelings, if he had to say it, it was the moment the sword pierced into the human body, he actually felt an inexplicable pleasure, which made him a little creepy, this didn't look like the reaction of a normal human being with mental health.

The man killed by Tang Que was a mob running around Guanzhong, these people had almost lost their minimum reason and conscience, and often attacked passers-by, whether they were men, women, or children, they would rob them of their food and money, and if it was a woman, the end would be even worse. Tang Que has seen countless people like this along the way, some of them are in groups of three or five, at most even up to a hundred, at that scale they even dare to attack the army, but these people are unlucky, they met Li Zixiong's regular army that was heading to Chang'an, and they were all killed, and even the food and money on their bodies were all obtained by Li Zixiong, and Li Zixiong naturally would not distribute these assets to his command, and the food was also insignificant to them, after all, the army was supplied by Liyang Warehouse, and there was no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass at all.

Thanks to the blessings of these mobs, Tang Que's Blood Sea Shura** has made great progress, and Xia Dantian finally began to evolve into a sea of blood, and jīng qi is stored in the sea of blood, which can be converted into true qi for Tang Que to use at any time, although it is a little mixed and impure, but it is a huge quantity, and it is almost the same as Tang Que's Taiyīn True Qi that has been cultivated for many years in a few days.

Tang Que had never seen a large army besieging the city before, and this time Yuan Hongsi's 100,000 army besieged Chang'an, which opened Tang Que's eyes. What is the destruction of the city by black clouds, if you don't really see it, you won't understand, Tang Que just saw it from afar, and he also felt shocked, I really don't know what kind of mood the soldiers who defend the city in Chang'an.

Yang Xuangan sent a message to denounce the news of the Yuan family, presumably the other party had already learned that the siege battle that was in full swing began to retreat when Li Zixiong's army appeared, and Yuan Hongsi's army set up camp, Tang Que noticed that the formation of the opponent's camp had also changed, and the soldiers were pointing to their own side, and Chang'an seemed to have been left behind.

But this is also a common thing, if you don't defeat Li Zixiong's army, trying to take Chang'an is tantamount to a fool's dream.

At night, Li Zixiong and others were having a meeting in the big tent.

"Mr. Tan, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?" Li Zixiong asked, he didn't trust Tang Que, and he didn't understand why Yang Xuangan would take Tang Que as the mastermind instead of Li Mi, but because he had always been at odds with Li Mi, although he was surprised by Yang Xuangan's appointment, he still had a little joy in his heart, so his attitude towards Tang Que was quite respectful.

"There is no other way to fight this battle, only speed. ”

"Our army is tired from afar, and I am afraid that we will not be able to go into battle immediately. Li Zixiong immediately frowned, these people had been traveling almost overnight to understand the siege of Chang'an, and even the generals felt a little tired, not to mention the soldiers below.

"The battle of Chang'an has been going on for ten years, Yuan Hongsi and they are more tired than us, originally I wanted to be put into the battlefield as soon as I arrived, and I would be able to be caught off guard, but unfortunately Yuan Hongsi was too cautious, so I simply stopped the siege. Tang Que said with some regret, but Li Zixiong didn't think so, although Yuan Hongsi's army was attacking the city, but it was in batches, in fact, the soldiers were fully rested, not as tired as Tang Que said.

Li Zixiong's expression fell into Tang Que's eyes, and Tang Que smiled and said, "The general thinks it's wrong to say nothing?"

"That's true. Li Zixiong also nodded dryly and admitted, "Although Yuan Hongji is attacking the city day and night, he is taking turns with five thousand people in an echelon, and he is actually not tired. ”

"When I say tiredness, I don't just mean physically, but also spiritually. Tang Que shook his head, "Soldiers are also human beings, and they will also have a feeling of fear, after ten days of brutal siege warfare in a row, no matter what kind of army morale will be problematic." ”

The general sat in the tent, and naturally he couldn't understand that kind of feeling. People fell from the city walls, were drenched with boiling oil, and their heads were pierced by the rain of arrows, and the dead were all the same zes of the soldiers, and the blood of their comrades flowed, and they could not calm down, for them those were far more than a string of numbers on the battle report, but the brothers and sisters with whom they lived day and night. ”

"Moreover, not all of Yuan Honghe's army are well-trained soldiers, most of them are private soldiers of powerful people who took refuge later, and there are some scoundrels who want to try their luck, and it is still unknown how much combat power these people can really fight on the battlefield, and the ten rì day and night siege has not taken Chang'an, where the defenders are only 20,000, is enough to illustrate the problem. Tang Que continued, "In the end, even the great general did not agree with my plan, and Yuan Hongji would not have thought that we wanted a quick victory. ”

Li Zixiong didn't speak for a long time, he took a deep look at Tang Que, and began to understand a little why Yang Xuangan would take Tang Que as the mastermind, although he had never been on the battlefield, and his view of the war was too simple, but it was undeniable that his grasp of people's hearts was very accurate, and he tried to set tactics from the perspective of people, which undoubtedly made Li Zixiong's eyes shine.

In fact, Tang Que also has his own purpose, the night undoubtedly makes the natural curtain, and his own use of the Blood Sea Shura** is not so easy to be exposed, he knows from the blood demon inscription that this technique he cultivates must be hated by everyone in the rivers and lakes, and there are guardians such as Cihang Jingzhai, and it is better if he can not expose this magic skill without being exposed.

Tang Que himself knows that a night attack may not be a good tactic, even if Yuan Hongsi did not expect Li Zixiong to dare to attack the camp, but to do a good job of preparing for a night attack is the basic common sense of the commander of the first army, no matter whether the enemy has the possibility of a night attack, he must always be prepared, from the cautious point of Yuan Hongsi's decisive withdrawal as soon as he saw the arrival of Li Zixiong's army, he will be 100% prepared.

Even so, the reason why Tang Que still mentioned the night attack was because he felt that there would be heavy rain in the middle of the night, without any warning or evidence, but he could clearly perceive that there would be heavy rain tonight, and that feeling could even make the time of the rain jīng to the second, just like an instinct, Tang Que was very sure that his feeling was absolutely not wrong.

Actually, this is not the first time.

Ever since he encountered a dragon at sea, he has the ability to predict more accurately than the weather forecast, and he has never made a mistake. It's just that this can't be used as a reason to persuade Li Zixiong to send troops, so Tang Que didn't speak.

The time, the people are everywhere, why don't you dare to give it a go?

In the end, Li Zixiong reluctantly agreed to Tang Que's plan, but he only gave Tang Que 5,000 men, including 1,000 cavalry, and let Tang Que act on his own, and the army would move according to the situation.

To put it bluntly, Li Zixiong still can't trust Tang Que.

Night.

Tang Que waited patiently until nightfall, and the enemy scout's vision was the narrowest moment before leading 5,000 men and horses to leave the camp, as far as possible without being discovered by the enemy army, in fact, this also happened to avoid Yuan Hongji's ears and eyes, Tang Que's actions were lucky not to be captured by the scouts.

"Go and ask for me, if there are people from Chang'an in the army, or if they are very familiar with the terrain of Chang'an, bring them to me if they have. Tang Que commanded, and one of the guards took the order and left.

Not long after, the guards came to Tang Que with a soldier, Tang Que looked people up and down, with a smile on his face, but he was secretly stunned in his heart.

Although this soldier is only dressed as a military commander, he is majestic and tall, close to seven feet tall, his face is like a knife, his sword eyebrows are starry, his long hair is simply tied into a bunch, and his simple equipment cannot hide his heroic spirit, and he carries a long spear behind his back, which attracts people's attention.

"Humble Zhao Xin, I have met Mr. Tan. ”

Tang Que did not have any military rank, so he was called Mr. in the army.

"Zhao Xin?" Tang Que nodded approvingly, "Are you familiar with Chang'an?"

"I have lived in Chang'an for thirteen years, and I am very familiar with it. Zhao Xin said.

"Okay, let me ask you, what is the hidden route to the Yuan Hongsi camp?" Tang Que asked.

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a forest in the west here, so it can be hidden...... But if you want to escape the eyes and ears of the enemy scouts and reach the camp, it is impossible. ”

"What if it's raining?" Tang Que asked with a smile.

Zhao Xin was stunned, these days have always been clear skies, how could Tang Que say that there would be heavy rain tonight?

"If there is a rainstorm, the scouts should be punished first, and nothing will go wrong. Although Zhao Xin was puzzled, he still replied.
