Chapter 19: Isn't it a good deal?
Three days later
It was night, the moon was in the sky, and every inch of the earth was illuminated by the soft moonlight.
Under the soft moonlight, there is a crowd of people who cannot be seen at a glance.
But the temperament exuded by these people was extremely incompatible with the soft moonlight, and every horse sitting on it all had a fierce murderous aura.
Under the moonlight, the pigtailed man who was at the front of the team on horseback was muttering to the people next to him: "I don't know what this Wang Shichong thinks, so he is in such a hurry to let us come out......"
The leader seemed to hear his whispering, and immediately said loudly: "Hmph, no matter what his purpose, just take it as a letter of nomination from me to Wang Shichong!"
If Ye Hong stood here, he would definitely pick up his halberd and come up to fight him to the death!
That's right, this person is the person who attacked and killed Yang Xiu in the first place, the youngest son of Jili Khan, Ali.
And this time, the person in charge of attacking the granary of the Tang Army was the one who had just chosen to take refuge with Wang Shichong. Although Wang Shichong lacked major generals, he was still not at ease about Ali and his party who still chose to take refuge in him in this situation.
Therefore, letting Ali take more than 600 people under his command and 500 of his Turkic soldiers to complete this mission should be a chance for Ali to prove himself.
Of course, in addition to Ali's men, there are also generals under Wang Shichong.
Newcomers are always not completely at ease, even if they are also "fellow villagers" from Mobei.
"Hmph, I heard that the guards in this granary are a group of child soldiers, and I don't know if it's true or not. As soon as Ali's words fell, another person continued.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shichong's generals, who were riding horses and walking beside him without saying a word, suddenly said: "Hmph, what the carrier pigeons under the national teacher said, how can it be false?"
"You and other rats, if you haven't heard of the power of the national teacher, don't gossip and talk nonsense here!"
"What are you talking about?" the general had barely finished speaking, and the Turkic-style guy immediately spoke, obviously very dissatisfied with the white-armored general.
"Okay, don't quarrel!" Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ali stopped and snorted coldly: "Everyone is a colleague, for the sake of Your Majesty's great cause, there is no need to quarrel over this little thing." ”
"Humph!"
As soon as Ali said it, the two of them stopped arguing, but the atmosphere became extremely weird, and even the air was filled with a little embarrassment.
After a long time, someone opened up and said: "I don't know what level these recruits are, aren't those Guan Long soldiers always known for their bravery?"
"Brave, that's a veteran, the level of these recruits...... Do you remember the group of recruits we attacked and killed on the way to Luoyang?"
"Oh, if you don't say it, I forgot. Ali thought about it, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a smile.
The attack on the Tang Army's baggage team was just a temporary initiative for them, but they didn't expect that the recruits of the Tang Army would be so weak.
Thinking that the opponents were nothing more than some new recruits, although they still had some veteran support, Ali was still relieved.
In a few moments, they had finished all the level roads and entered a rough mountain road.
The granary of the Tang Army is located on a hill, from the mountain to the Tang Army camp at the bottom of the mountain, there is only a flat mountain road, if you want to go to the granary from other places, you can only take this extremely curved and undulating mountain road.
If it weren't for the fact that their horses were all high-headed horses in Mobei, and their legs were longer than ordinary Central Plains horses, coupled with the riders' superb equestrian skills, it would be a fool's dream to ride a horse on such a mountain road.
"Huh"
After walking for a while, someone in the crowd suddenly heard an extremely slight abnormal sound, and immediately said vigilantly to the person next to him: "Eh, did you hear any sound just now?"
"No, maybe you heard it wrong, right?" The person next to him was stunned for a moment, then looked around, and only after seeing that there was indeed no foreign object, did he turn back and talk to him.
"No, that's good......," the man looked around, saw that no one noticed anything unusual, and thought he had heard it wrong, so he didn't think much about it.
But at this moment, in the granary of the Tang Army, it is in full swing!
"Hurry up, everyone, take weapons, and get ready to meet the enemy!"
"Array, array, array, archers, ambush, ambush!"
Every commander, every veteran, after receiving the news of the enemy's attack, began to eagerly call for his recruits to hold weapons and lie in ambush in the tent, ready to meet the enemy!
Although the news of the shortage of food in the granary was very tightly sealed between the former army and the Chinese army, there was a lot of uproar in the granary, and almost everyone knew about it.
In such a situation, how could Fang Xuanling not know?
Therefore, he had already guessed that it was Wang Shichong's people who spread the news everywhere in the barracks, and made a bold decision to let the granary be strictly guarded during these two days, and the original three shifts were changed to two shifts, and more defensive troops were invested at the same time.
Not only that, but also strictly guarded the soldiers, forbidding any soldiers from entering and leaving the barracks, and not even allowing too many movements, just to prevent those inner ghosts from reporting to Wang Shichong.
As a result, Wang Shichong's guy really sent troops as he thought!
It's just that the one who sent the message to the Tang army in the camp was not a Tang army spy, but an inconspicuous Mojia technique.
This kind of trick is combined with a very thin rope with several kinds of mechanisms, but whenever someone walks through this mountain road, they will cross this kind of rope, and then the Tang army in the battalion will get a report because the rope is broken.
This section of the mountain road is rugged and complicated, but Fang Xuanling still did not take it lightly, and has already set up these inconspicuous but very useful Mojia tricks on the mountain road.
Although Wang Shichong's internal response was alert, he didn't expect this, and the result was that before the surprise attack of these Turks hit, this surprise had disappeared without a trace.
After a long time, the sound of horses' hooves finally sounded outside the camp.
"Boss, look at these Tang troops, their precautions can be so negligent, it's only been a moment, and it's already quiet!"
"That's the case, heh, it seems to be easier than we imagined!" Ali also smiled, and his heart was relaxed.
On the contrary, the general, who was accustomed to the life of the military camp, was more cautious, looked at the camp in the distance, and said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that this should not be the case, but at this time, the camp is so quiet, it seems a little abnormal......"
But as soon as his words came out, a knight beside Ali said disdainfully: "Snort, if you are cowardly, then speak bluntly, you say it, then where is it safe for you to stay, there is no need to talk nonsense here and disturb the morale of the army!"
"You!" Seeing that he was cautious and was perceived as cowardly, this general Song Rong was suddenly furious!
"What are you, aren't you timid and unwilling to give up that little bit of military merit? If you admit that you are cowardly, stay here, and when the time comes, we will slaughter these little cubs, and we will not be greedy for your little merit, how about it, isn't it a good deal?"
