Tonight, the stars are dim, and even the bright moon in the past is hidden in a layer of mist, as if it can't bear to see tomorrow's tragic story.
In this ordinary, yet extraordinary night.
No matter it was Xiao Han, Li Shimin, Wang Shichong or Dou Jiande, all of them had insomnia without exception.
Everyone knows that after dawn, the war will begin.
Right or wrong, success or failure will all depend on tomorrow's battle.
The next day, when the sky was still dark, Xiao Han, who had gotten up early, was already standing at the front of the camp.
After wiping the dew on his armor, Xiao Han subconsciously took out the blackened embroidery pouch in front of his chest that had been rubbed.
Gently hold the embroidery bag in the palm of your hand, Xue Pan's strand of black silk inside is still full of elasticity.
"Master Marquis, the army has been assembled, what should we do next?" The armored fool ran over from behind and asked angrily.
Xiao Han sighed, carefully put the embroidery bag back on his chest, and turned around again, with only determination remaining on his face!
From now on, he is the real commander of these five thousand people! Every move and every decision he makes will deeply affect this army.
For this reason, he will no longer be cowardly!
"Today, we are going to defend against Zheng's army! Tell me, are you afraid?"
Summoning all his strength, Xiao Han roared at the five thousand warriors.
"Don't be afraid!"
Five thousand voices sounded in unison throughout the entire camp!
Xiao Han took a deep breath and continued to yell: "Okay! Very good! He is a man from the Tang Dynasty! However, I can tell you that we are not the only ones! So, don't think that this time we are attacking the stone with an egg! Victory,
It must be us in the end!”
"Here!"
Countless excited roars sounded one after another!
These fierce soldiers were already prepared to die, but now that the commander said there were reinforcements, their cold hearts immediately became alive again.
After all, no one wants to die if they can live!
The mobilization before the war was well done, even Liu Hongji quietly gave Xiao Han a thumbs up.
But in the face of all this, Xiao Han could only smile bitterly in his heart.
The reinforcements he talked about were actually ***!
However, this is the first time ** has been used on the battlefield, and no one knows what role it will play!
In front of the army formation, the handsome flag embroidered with the word "Xiao" was raised high for the first time.
At this moment, it will replace the "Li" flag that has been flying before and become the latest synonym for this team.
The form has reached this point now.
Xiao Han didn't think that he could hide the fact that he only had 5,000 troops in his army from anyone.
Instead of being secretive and deceiving oneself and others, it is better to face Luoyang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers openly. At least this way, it will be more convincing.
Five thousand people held high the flag and marched to Luoyang without hesitation.
But Luoyang in the morning light looked like a giant prehistoric beast covered with fangs, lying there quietly, as if it would open its big mouth at any time and swallow Xiao Han and the others in one gulp.
When the first ray of sunshine pierced the dark clouds and fell from the sky, the dull drums in the city were like thunder, pressing straight towards the sky.
Xiao Han reined in his horse and looked quietly at the tall city ahead.
He knew that today, Wang Shichong would be there anyway!
"Where is Wang Shichong!" Xiao Han shouted in front of him after taking a breath.
An arrow floated diagonally from the city wall, but because it was too far away, it slumped into the ground when it was still dozens of steps away from Xiao Han. The white feathers at the tail of the arrow were still moving in the wind.
"How dare you, an ignorant child, call the Emperor by his name?"
The arrow fell, followed by an angry voice.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed loudly:
"The Emperor? Hahaha... The Emperor is favored by God, and there are no taboos in anything he does! But now you are like a bereaved dog, trapped in the city by us. Where does the spirit of the Emperor come from?"
"Hmph! Arrogant little boy, let me let you be arrogant for a while. After a while, I will personally cut off your head and cut off the sacrificial flag!"
The sound sounded again, and this time along with the sound, a man protected by several large shields slowly appeared in front of the city gate tower.
"Wang Shichong!"
Seeing this person appear, below, Xiao Han's eyes couldn't help but condense.
There is no need to distinguish. The dragon robe on this person already clearly explains his identity.
Perhaps because he was afraid of Gouzi's earth-shattering arrow, whenever Wang Shichong appeared on the city wall, there were always several large shields standing in front of him, with only his head exposed above.
It's just that he didn't know that looking from Xiao Han's direction, he actually looked very similar to Oogway.
Turtle, oh... no! It was Wang Shichong who looked down at Xiao Han. When he saw that there were only five thousand people below, his anxious heart immediately calmed down a lot.
Shan Xiongxin has said more than once that Li Shimin transferred everyone to Hulao Pass, but he never believed it, thinking that Li Shimin would not be so bold!
Only when I looked at it today did I realize that what Shan Xiongxin said might be true!
"Hahaha... Son, how can you stop my army of 100,000 men with just a few people?" After laughing a few times, Wang Shichong's heart was filled with surprises, and even the big shield in front of him was pushed away by him.
In Wang Shichong's opinion, the siege of Luoyang will end today!
Moreover, maybe he can take this opportunity to stand up in one fell swoop and become the biggest winner in this struggle!
Wang Shichong's laughter came from afar. When Xiao Han heard it, not only did he not feel frightened, but he responded with a laugh even more arrogant than him:
"Hahahaha... these people are enough to stop you! Because Tianshu is on my side!"
Wang Shichong's expression did not change after hearing this, and he mocked: "The number of days? Haha, God is standing here with us now! You are a mere 100,000 people, surrounded by our army of 300,000, instead of talking about how to escape, you talk about the number of days! Isn't it ridiculous?
?”
Xiao Han shook his head seriously under the city, and then said to him: "It's not us who should flee, but you, Wang Shichong! If you send troops today, you will definitely be punished by God! This is destiny, and it is beyond human control!"
"God's punishment?"
Upon hearing these two words, the sarcasm in Wang Shichong's mouth disappeared in a flash.
How could he be intimidated by a few words if he could reach the position of emperor?
However, he doesn't want to waste any more words with that kid with a dirty mouth now, lest he lose his identity. It won't be too late to have a good talk with him when he is caught later!
There was silence on the Luoyang city wall again. When Xiao Han saw this, he stopped talking and led the five thousand people back two miles and stopped five miles outside the city.
The army stopped, and Xiao Han also jumped off his horse and looked to the east with a complicated expression.
Similarly, Wang Shichong also stood with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of Hulao.
They are all waiting for the moment when the smoke rises, and victory or defeat will be decided at that time.
