The three of them soon reached the city wall, and there were teams of soldiers patrolling on the city wall, because the Khitan army was in front of them, and the number and frequency of patrols had increased three times more than usual.

"This wind is strong enough!" Meng Jiu stood on the city wall, his clothes blown by the strong wind.

Today, the moon in the sky was only bent and bent, making the scenery outside the pass pitch black, and except for the fire twenty miles away, there was nothing to be seen in other places.

Twenty miles away was naturally the camp of the Khitan army.

"This pass is not comparable to the Central Plains. Hong Yi said.

"Alas, I don't know how many soldiers have died in this battle!"

Hong Yi and Meng Jiu both shook their heads when they heard this and fell silent.

How can such a thing be rare in history when the two countries are at war? As long as it is a war, there will be deaths, and there is no way to do it.

"Commander Liu, where are you going?" Just as the three of them were standing at the head of the city, they suddenly heard a voice not far away.

"Ah, the Khitan army is right in front of me, I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look. That Commander Liu said.

"Don't worry, it's not your turn to defend the city tonight, you can rest well, if the Khitan really attacks the city, you won't have to rest when you want to. The commander of the city laughed.

They have all formed a deep friendship here, especially after experiencing death, that is, brothers.

"Okay, I'll go back, take care of yourself!" Commander Liu smiled.

After speaking, this Commander Liu walked towards the city with several personal soldiers behind them.

Although Hong Yi and the other three did not deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation, they still listened to this conversation, and they didn't pay attention to it.

"It should be fine tonight. Meng Jiu retracted his gaze into the distance and said.

"I'm not so sure, but hopefully it's okay. Hong Yi said with a smile.

"Now that the guards are so tight, it is difficult for Khitan masters to infiltrate. Go back and have a good rest today!" Lichen also said.

Hong nodded, and the three of them prepared to turn and leave.

When Lichen and Meng Jiu had already turned around, Hong Yisheng turned around and stopped suddenly. There was a sigh of surprise in his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Hong Yi's suspicious voice, Lichen and Meng Jiu came back to their senses and asked.

"Something is wrong!" Hong Yi said with a frown.

"Something is wrong, what's wrong?" Meng Jiu came to Hong Yi's side, followed their gaze, and saw that the direction of Hong Yiyi was the direction of the Khitan camp.

Meng Jiu glanced at it from afar and found nothing abnormal.

Lichen also looked over there, and he seemed to hesitate and muttered, "This fire seems to be brighter than just now." ”

"That's right, it's a lot brighter!" Hong nodded.

"Hearing you say that, it seems to be true, it seems to be much brighter than just now. Strange thing, what happened to the Khitan camp?" Hong Yi said in a low voice.

"Could it be that they are preparing for a night attack?" said Lichen suddenly.

"It's impossible, isn't it? If it's a night attack, they're afraid they'll act quietly, how can they light so many torches, doesn't that let us know?" Meng Jiu said.

After Meng Jiu finished speaking, seeing that Hong Yi didn't say anything, he couldn't help asking: "What, do you also think that the Khitan will send troops?"

"I'm not sure either, but I can't be careless. Whether it is or not, we need to strengthen our precautions. Hong Yi shook his head and said.

After saying that, Hong Yi walked towards the commander who was guarding the city.

"Gang Leader Hong, you can go and rest first tonight. It's okay to have us here!" he couldn't help but smile when the commander of the city guard saw Hong Yi walking towards him. He naturally knew the identities of Hong Yi and others, and he didn't dare to slack off.

"The general has worked hard. I have some doubts and want to ask. Hong Yi said.

"Gang Master Hong, you are too polite, please tell me something!"

"Look over there!" Hong Yi said, pointing in the direction of the Khitan camp.

"Oh, that's the Khitan camp, what's wrong?" the city commander asked.

Hong Yi came to find himself. There must be something, and I don't come to talk to me for no reason.

"According to our observations, the fire in the Khitan camp is suddenly much brighter than before, we are not very familiar with military operations, I don't know what the general thinks about this?" Hong Yi asked.

Some military actions, they naturally don't understand, but they also feel that this matter is a little strange, so it is more appropriate to consult this commander.

"Is there such a thing?" the city commander showed a look of surprise on his face, he hurriedly walked to the city wall, leaned out and looked in the direction of the Khitan camp.

After looking at it for a moment, he straightened up.

When Hong saw his frowning, he didn't urge, just stood quietly.

And at this time, Lichen and Meng Jiu also walked behind Hong Yi.

"I'm afraid the Khitan has made a move. The commander said with a solemn face.

"Action, didn't they expose their actions like this?" Meng Jiu asked with some puzzlement.

Although he didn't know much about some military matters, there was obviously something wrong with such a bright fire, and if it was a large army, he should not make such a big move for the opponent to notice.

"You can't be cautious, and this may be their strategy. Xiao Darin uses soldiers like a god and cannot be viewed with common sense. The commander said, "Moreover, although this fire is much brighter than before, after all, it is more than twenty miles away from here, and if it wasn't for Gang Master Hong reminding me just now, I wouldn't have found out." Therefore, the Khitan side felt that our side might not be able to find out, so we had to think a little more. No, I have to report this matter to General Yang immediately, the three of you will be lost first!"

The commander hurried away.

Hong Yi and the others naturally did not stop them, but they saw that the commander hurriedly called two guards and ordered them to report to General Yang.

As the commander of the guards on the city wall tonight, he naturally will not leave his post without permission.

"Looks like we won't be able to rest tonight. Meng Jiu sighed.

"yes, I hope we're overthinking. Lichen said.

"Anyway, I need to inform everyone and get ready. Hong Yi thought about it and said.

Meng Jiu and Lichen also nodded, they knew what Hong Yi meant, this was to inform the people in the rivers and lakes who came over, if the Khitan army really wanted to do it, then they would have to do it too.

"You two wait here for me, I'll go and inform them!" Hong Yi said again.

Lichen and Meng Jiu didn't have any opinions, so they asked Hong Yi to hurry up and inform.

As Hong Yi walked down the city wall, he suddenly saw the two guards who had gone to report to General Yang suddenly walking to the side, which was not the direction leading to General Yang's residence.

Hong Yi frowned slightly, turned around to look, and saw a few people standing in the direction where the two were going, it was Commander Liu and several of his personal soldiers who had come to the city wall before.
