Chapter 62 The Special Service Sui Army Night Attack Camp Is On Fire!
Jinyang North City Gate.
Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and Liu Hongji were riding in front, followed by one thousand light cavalry and two thousand infantry who were ready to go.
Li Shimin really wanted to pull out three thousand light cavalry and charge directly into the Turkic camp, but unfortunately his father did not have such a strong family background.
Pei Ji, on the other hand, was counting down how long he had been in this depressing place. He also remembered that his old friend Liu Wenjing had taken risks and sneaked into the Turkic camp. If he succeeded, it would be considered a great achievement, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Erlang,"
Pei Ji stroked the horse's mane,
"It's not a big deal to wait like this - if we sneak out quietly from the east gate, take a detour to the vicinity of the Turkic camp and then hide, we can instantly rush into the enemy camp when Mr. Wu Lang raises his torch.
"
"The moonlight is still clear and the field of vision is broad," Li Shimin shook his head firmly, "If our large group leaves the city, we will definitely be discovered by the Turkic sentries, which will alert the enemy and harm Mr. Wu Lang."
Pei Ji also knew that what Li Shimin said was true, but he had always been unwilling to lag behind Liu Wenjing, so he was prepared to be prepared but he didn't expect to fall behind again this time.
But it is absolutely impossible for Pei Ji to take Liu Wenjing's place and personally infiltrate the Turkic camp.
(Pei Ji believes in a principle - it is better to build good relationships than to make achievements)
Fortunately, if the east side loses, the west side needs to make up for it. Li Yuan's character is very clear to Pei Ji.
Instead of making great achievements on the battlefield, it is better to cater to others, provide for their needs, win their favor, and build good personal relationships.
Therefore, before Li Yuan planned to raise an army, Pei Ji offered the two beautiful maids who Yang Guang had left in Jinyang Palace with both hands.
Managing a network of people is by no means a one-off or two-day transaction. You need to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish, and you need to take a long and steady stream of water.
Pei Ji then thought about the inventory that Yang Guang left in the palace in Jinyang - he had carefully counted it a few days ago, and found that there were 90,000 dendrobiums of rice, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and 400,000 collars. The faint king was far away in Jiangdu, dreaming and singing every night.
If you no longer need it, why not find a suitable opportunity to give it to Duke Tang.
As the saying goes, food and fodder must go before the troops move. These materials meet the urgent need of Tang Gong when he raises his troops. It is best to give them with both hands as soon as possible. If it were later that Tang Gong captured the city and the value of the land increased sharply, no matter how good the things were, they would have depreciated.
While he was making careful calculations, fire suddenly appeared in the direction of the Turkic camp in the north.
The scouts outside the city reported that the Turkic camps were on fire everywhere, and the intensity of the fire was alarming.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
Li Shimin raised his horsewhip and pointed it straight at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky in the north.
"The cavalry goes first, the infantry follows, and we kill the Turkic camp directly!"
…
Outside Jinyang City, in Yingshan Mountain.
Ashina Jiushui broke off his headband with a tree branch to hide his whereabouts.
Across the shadows of the dancing trees, relying on the moonlight falling through the layers of branches and leaves to the ground, Jiushe looked longingly at a winding path in the mountain forest.
One person told him very definitely and confidently——
The awakened disciples in Jinyang City are also the murderers of Atoglen, and the enemy they have been searching for, a man named Wu Ma, will lead three hundred soldiers into the mountains along this road tonight.
They successively led several groups of soldiers to hide nearby, giving the Turks some whimsical and suspicious tactics.
This was an unexpected gain after Jinyang's army rushed out of the city to fight with the Turkic soldiers today, and it also reminded the association of his left eyelid that has been beating constantly in the past few days.
The intuition brought about by his twitching eyelids kept him awake for three nights in a row and he took in the beautiful night views of the mountains and forests around Jinyang. Now he finally found his answer.
Sunong Linghua didn't quite know what she was thinking in her heart, but she was really fed up with such inexplicable waiting, especially after wandering aimlessly three nights ago.
"Special Service," Sunong Linghua came to the association leader's side with heavy steps, "You can't be so willful anymore."
"Time will tell for me."
"There has to be a deadline."
"Wait another three, no, four hours."
"We've been waiting for three days since you started your madness - you just delay it again and again."
"This time... it's really different," the association said, "This time it's definitely not based on intuition."
"Special Service, the wolf is sick and his sense of smell is useless."
"Listen to me," said the leader: "There is news from someone in the sheepfold."
"when."
"It was in the afternoon when the herdsman fell into the wolf trap."
"Let me take a look."
"It's the method of the awakened disciples. It can't be written down on paper."
"What did that person say?"
"A dangerous hunter will come to this trail tonight with a group of lambs to do some smart things."
"So you want to catch them all?"
"This hunter is my enemy and a popular figure among the Han people - the man also said that killing this hunter would be like Li Yuan losing an arm."
"I don't doubt that you received the news from the sheepfold. I'm just not sure whether the person who brought the news is reliable."
Jiu Shesu was silent and looked deeply at Sunong Linghua. It took a long time before he whispered something in her ear.
"Ah..." Sunong Linghua trembled after hearing this, "It's really her, she's actually still alive."
"It's because of her," Youshou said, moving his stiff head and neck and shaking his shoulders. Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he felt that his hands were full of strength, "I am sure that I will come home with a full load tonight!"
Sunong Linghua nodded solemnly and turned her gaze to the winding paths in the mountains and forests. The prey seemed to have embarked on the road to death.
I don't know how long it took, but there were faint whispers from the Turkic soldiers.
Jiushesu frowned, but saw Sunong Linghua raising her head and looking towards the sky.
The association leader looked over and saw that the sky there was red, like a sunset, dazzling and dazzling.
His heart was beating wildly, and he was secretly wondering. He heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.
All the Turkic soldiers lay low, swords in hand, ready to rush out of the forest at any time.
I saw only a horse riding alone on the forest road in the distance. The man on the horse was wearing a Turkic battle uniform.
All the soldiers were extremely disappointed.
The cavalryman looked panicked and shouted from a distance:
"Special service, Sui army attacked at night, the camp is on fire!"
"Fuck,"
With his eyes widened, he was stunned for a long time, then he tore off the laurel wreath from his head and threw it heavily to the ground.
