While Su Lie and the others were busy sorting out their equipment, Li Shimin and the ministers of the DPRK and China were surrounding Li Zhi and Li Jing and chatting non-stop.

Ever since dinner, they had been curious about when the dragoons would attack.

The first to speak was Li Shimin.

While drinking tea, he said to Li Zhi: "Pheasant slave! Seeing that three days have passed, why haven't the dragoons started to move yet? ”

Li Zhi replied with a smile: "Father, the sons and daughters are also staying on the mountain with their father, how can they know the movements of the dragoons?" ”

Li Shimin pretended to be unhappy and said: "You little slippery head, obviously you are not telling the truth, my father doesn't believe that you and the medicine master have not explained the movements of the dragoons. ”

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty's words are really a little wronged, but the ministers have never left Your Majesty's side recently. ”

Li Shimin said: "Even if you have never left Mo Fei Pheasant Slave, you have never come into contact with the Dragoon?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Father! The child climbed this mountain with his father, how could he deliver the news to the dragoons in time? ”

Li Shimin was speechless for a while by Li Zhi's words.

He knew that the two must have passed the news to the Dragoons through some covert method.

But he couldn't produce any obvious evidence.

Fang Xuanling, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said to Li Jing: "I said pharmacist, you are just too cautious, what if you reveal it to me and others now that Hou Shangshu is not here?" ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Fang Xiang, it's not that I, Pharmacist Li, don't believe you, it's true that I don't know the plan of the Dragoon!" ”

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Jing and smiled at the others: "Do you believe his nonsense?" ”

The others shook their heads.

Wei Chi Jingde said: "With this general, it seems that the dragoon army will probably not attack again today." ”

Yu Shinan asked, "Why did General Wei Chi say this?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde said: "Now that the sky is completely dark, and the mountain road is so difficult, I'm afraid that no army will choose to attack at night, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The general's analysis is certainly reasonable, but today is the third day of the competition and the dragoons have not launched any attack, don't they need to test the defense of the sixteen guards?" ”

Qin Shubao also said on the side: "The general also thinks that the dragoon army should take action tonight, otherwise even if the dragoon army is strong, it will be difficult to capture this mountain in one day." ”

Cheng Yanjin also said on the side: "The general also thinks that the dragoon army will launch a sneak attack tonight, at least familiarize yourself with the defensive arrangement of the sixteen guards." ”

Li Shimin also nodded and said: "With the strength of the dragoon army, it should not be difficult to climb this mountain at night, and I also agree with Shubao and Zhijie's assertions. ”

On the surface, everyone was discussing the movements of the dragoons, but in fact, they had been secretly observing the reactions of Li Zhi and Li Jing.

But no matter how they analyzed it, the two of them kept smiling and listening.

The expressions on the faces of the two did not change from beginning to end.

This made Li Shimin and others very depressed.

Li Jing, as a veteran of the battlefield, has been training in phase for many years, and it is okay to have this performance.

But Li Zhi is obviously just a child, but he can be so calm, which makes everyone a little unacceptable.

Wei Chi Jingde deliberately said in order to make Li Zhi break his defense: "The dragoons are trained in martial arts, and after special training, will they climb up from the other three sides to launch a sneak attack on the sixteen guards?" ”

He said this only to deliberately exaggerate the strength of the Dragoons, so that the expression on Li Zhi's face would change, so that they could make the next decision.

However, what shocked everyone was that Li Zhi was surprised on his face after hearing Wei Chi Jingde's words.

It seems that Wei Chi Jingde's seemingly impossible analysis is actually right.

As soon as Li Jing saw the expression on Li Zhi's face, he knew that something was going to happen.

It seems that Li Zhi is still too young to control his expression.

This old fox must have discovered something.

Li Zhi himself quickly realized this problem.

So he hurriedly spoke: "How could General Wei Chi have such a bold idea? Could it be that the general thought that the dragoons could still fly the eaves and walk the wall? ”

However, although Li Zhi tried his best to cover up his performance just now, it was a pity that he was facing a group of top old foxes in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, everyone, including Li Shimin, already suspected that the line that Wei Chi Jingde said was very likely to be right.

With this suspicion, they all stopped talking.

Everyone began to look down in thought, trying to carefully analyze how the dragoons would have to get to the top of the mountain from other directions.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhi could only helplessly secretly show a wry smile to Li Jing.

While everyone was silently analyzing, the Dragoons had already begun their first move.

They began to disperse and lurk, and sent several waves of people to inquire in other directions.

At this time, Hou Junji was frowning and thinking about why the dragoon army had not moved until now.

Judging from his many years of combat experience, the Dragoons had no reason to launch a general attack without any temptation.

However, it was already dark at this moment, could it be that the Dragoons still had the ability to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night?

Thinking of this, he decided to double the number of people on duty today, bringing the number of defenders in the mountain pass area to 1,000.

However, this arrangement will double the time the soldiers spend on guard.

But in this way, no matter how brave the dragoons are, they will not be able to bargain.

Although the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guard have been scolding Hou Junji's decision in their hearts.

But in order to save their face, they all gritted their teeth and accepted such an arrangement.

The entire summit of the mountain was illuminated by a large number of torches, as bright as day.

There were hardly any dimly lit dead spots in the entire camp of the Sixteen Guards.

The roaring bonfire burns incessantly, making the temperature on the top of the mountain no longer unbearably cold.

Even so, the time of the guards is not easy, mainly due to the psychological oppression brought to them by the dragoons.

Hou Junji inspected outside for a while, and after finding that there was no problem, he came to the big tent where Li Shimin and the others were.

Everyone who was thinking hard saw Hou Jun gather in and all returned to normal.

They joked about Hou Junji's nervousness again as they had done two days ago.

It's just that the hurt between their words today is obviously much less than before.

If their speculation came true, then no matter how Hou Junji guarded against the dragoons, it should be taken for granted.

Because that kind of dragoon would be an incomparably terrifying existence.

As the period passed, the people in the tent became more and more silent.

They suddenly had a depressing feeling that the rain was coming.

The first person who couldn't bear it was Hou Junji, and after he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, he went to the mountain pass again to inspect it in person.

However, the common sense he had accumulated over a long period of time eventually led him to choose the wrong direction, and the whole pass remained silent until midnight.
