The sky gradually darkened, and the area around the empty valley became quiet. However, outside the valley, the thief's camp became more and more lively.
In the middle of the crooked tent, several large piles of firewood were burning brightly. Countless thieves crowded around, holding rice bowls and sitting on the ground, waiting for the meal to be served.
Xiao Han held up the telescope and looked at it. When he saw something, his eyes couldn't help but pause.
Here, he saw that as the fire rose, some people happily rushed to the place where the large animals were tied, untied the ropes, and led the cows and sheep to the fire.
"Why are they pulling the animals? Don't they even pull the baggage anymore?" Xiao Han thought to himself.
However, the sounds of cattle and sheep being slaughtered soon confirmed his idea: these animals were actually used as part of the thieves' rations.
"Bah! Prodigal stuff!"
Also listening to the cry of a healthy cow before it died, Gouzi, Xiaodong and others next to Xiao Han all spat downwards!
But when the extremely tempting aroma of meat wafted in, several people began to swallow their saliva in a very spineless manner.
Hey, my body is still honest...
Since Xiao Han was sure that the thief would not make any further moves, the new fire guards and rangers who had been lying in wait for a day withdrew.
After all, lying down is useless, and other accidents may occur. It is better to gather together, and any new commands and actions can be conveyed as soon as possible.
There are more than 300 new Fire Guards and the rangers. Now, these 300 people are all squatting on this mountain, looking longingly at the thieves below who are eating meat and drinking soup, laughing and cursing.
The thief ate, and Xiao Han and the others also ate! He took a hard bite of the dry biscuits, and then smelled the aroma of meat floating in the air. For some reason, the dry biscuits that originally tasted pretty good suddenly became unpalatable!
Wang Wu, who always had a lively mind, swallowed the dry biscuits in his mouth with all his strength, then frowned, carefully moved to Lao Qiu, and asked: "Brother Qiu, are we going to attack the camp at night?"
"Attack the camp? Who told you?" Lao Qiu was chewing cakes with his head down. When he heard this, he raised his head and gave Wang Wu a strange look.
Wang Wu blinked his eyes and looked around to see if no one was paying attention. He leaned over and said in a low voice: "No one told me, this is my own thought! You said we came out, not just to watch here.
People eat meat and dance? You have to move no matter what."
"Oh?" When Lao Qiu heard this, he smiled and did not rush to deny it. Instead, he followed Wang Wu's words and asked, "What do you think of the idea of attacking the camp?"
Wang Wu was stunned at this moment. There was a hint of confusion on his face, and then he replied nonchalantly: "The idea of attacking the camp is naturally a good one, but..."
Lao Qiu put down the biscuits and looked at Wang Wuda with a smile: "But what?"
"What? Why are you still asking me? Didn't your ancestors agree from the beginning that you can't fight them head-on?"
When Wang Wu saw Lao Qiu's appearance, he thought he had guessed it right and couldn't help but cursed in his heart!
But on the face, he looked pityful and said: "But, we have too few people! If we have two thousand people... no, as long as there are one thousand people! Take advantage of the midnight unpreparedness, rush in and kill,
We will definitely kill these thieves until they throw off their armor and cry for their father!
But now, look at how few of us there are, and there are ten times as many people as us! Even if ten of us beat one of us, we would probably have a surplus. If this is to attack the camp, it is not called attacking the camp, but giving heads to others.
Let them kill you!"
"Manpower, um, what do you mean, we can't attack the camp?" Lao Qiu looked at Wang Wu, who looked tough but was actually a coward. He suppressed his smile and said seriously.
Wang Wu looked at Lao Qiu's meaningful face and noticed something. His face turned red, but he still said bravely: "Anyway, I think this is too risky. When the time comes,
If we fail to hit the target and others come after us, maybe we will all be destroyed. We don’t care, our lives are worthless, but you and the Marquis will..."
"Haha, don't worry, they will never dare to chase us! They will never catch me!"
Before Wang Wu could finish his words, he heard a voice suddenly coming from behind. He was so startled that his whole body trembled. He quickly turned around and found that Xiao Han had arrived behind him without knowing when.
"Hou...Master Hou! Just now, I, I was just joking..."
Taking a breath of cold air, Wang Wu, whose face changed drastically, stood up in a hurry, stuttering and trying to explain to Xiao Han: What he just said was all unintentional, and he didn't really mean that he would be annihilated!
However, when Xiao Han saw his frightened look, he just waved his hand, came over, sat down next to Lao Qiu, and said: "Lao Qiu was just teasing you, don't think about the attack on the camp!
Our lives are precious, so we can’t charge with a knife like a reckless man!"
"Oh, not attacking the camp?" Wang Wu breathed a big sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Han didn't pursue his intentions. However, after he thought about what he had just said, he immediately reacted and looked at Xiao Han with a strange expression:
"Charge without mentioning the sword? How can we fight? Do you, Lord Marquis, want to recruit them to surrender?"
"Surrender?" Xiao Han smiled sarcastically, picked up a small stick and scribbled on the ground: "How is that possible?! When did our Tang Dynasty have any precedent of recruiting bandits to surrender? Not to mention that they killed them a few days ago.
There are thousands of soldiers in Yangzhou City? If we recruit and surrender them, how will the families of those thousands of brothers deal with themselves? Where will the face of the imperial court and me be put?"
"No fight? No recruitment? What should we do? Will those people find their conscience and change their ways?" Wang Wu became more and more confused as he listened. There was confusion in his eyes. With his underdeveloped brain,
, simply can't think of any other way to solve the siege of Yangzhou in front of us.
"Who said I won't fight? I just don't want to be like before, you hit me with a knife and I hit you with an axe!"
Xiao Han said, with a sneer on his lips, and then he suddenly turned his head, looking at the still noisy camp below, and said word by word: "From this battle on, the war will have to be passed in a different way! Change it.
A way of playing that you and them never dreamed of!
And what you said about reforming? Yes, it must be changed? But that will happen in the next life. This time, I will send them to the next life!"
Xiao Han said this in a low voice, but in Wang Wu's ears, there seemed to be a chill that pierced his heart!
Although he still hasn't figured out what method Xiao Han wants to use to deal with those thieves, his reason tells him, don't ask! Don't ask!
The night wind blew, slowly stirring the corners of Xiao Han's clothes.
Those rangers who heard Xiao Han's words were basically as confused as Wang Wu. Only the eyes of the New Fire Guards all shone with light.
