Chapter 55: Going out of the city alone and Pei Ji's request
(Sorry, I have a lot of things to do in the morning, so I posted late. I won’t ask for recommendation votes today, and will continue tomorrow)
(In addition, the Internet literary world was shocked yesterday. The news was too shocking. Everyone knows it, and I have to digest it.)
Since the appearance of the Divine Will Star, the four awakened disciples in Datang Tower have become excited.
Especially Liu Wenjing, according to his own words, he couldn't sleep at all when he was lying in bed. When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with stars, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was filled with stars.
At present, the only way to obtain the God's Will Star is to accept the temporary team's God's Will.
The most effective way to trigger the temporary divine decree is to go out of the city and compete with the Turks in a battle of wits and courage.
Therefore, the suspicion strategy originally proposed by Pei Ji became even more important to the four awakened disciples of Datang Tower.
For Liu Wenjing, who strongly opposed it at the beginning, this was a kind of irony. Of course, Liu Wenjing herself didn't care. He only wanted stars, and the more the better.
The four people discussed and decided on a plan - to go all out and prepare for the next plan to transport troops out of the city.
In the morning, let the soldiers who worked hard all night yesterday rest first. Then gather the other soldiers together and conduct drills in advance to avoid the bumpy situation like last night.
As for Dancing Horse, based on actual needs, he decides whether to unlock the status of the [Dark Side of the Kasaya] Hundred Man Hood.
Of course Liu Wenjing hopes to untie it as soon as possible and replace the pony with a big cart, which can triple the transport capacity.
However, Liu Wenjing's philosophy is to respect everyone's wishes as much as possible when it comes to the development of personal awakening skills for awakened disciples, because he feels that the route is a lifelong matter, and it is not good to decide too hastily.
It was just a discussion. It was so late at night that except for Dancing Horse, the other three people were too sleepy to open their eyes.
They just dispersed.
The dancing horse is still not sleepy.
He could gradually feel that the moist and warm breath was exuding from the gray mist, constantly nourishing his sea of consciousness and nourishing his spirit.
There is no doubt that the gray fog was the source of his sleeplessness.
He closed his eyes and quietly felt the nourishment of the gray mist.
"This feeling of not feeling sleepy is simply wonderful."
It made him feel more excited, satisfied and intoxicated than the flying dreams he had been having since he was a child.
Why sleep? There are countless things waiting for Dancing Horse to do.
The various encounters tonight made him clearly realize the importance of familiarity with the terrain.
Therefore, while the moon was still there late at night, he sneaked out of the city alone and explored the terrain around Jinyang City and the target valley.
In the second half of the night, the clouds gradually dispersed, and [The Dark Side of Kasaya] could be used without reservation.
He tried to walk around in front of several Turkic secret sentinels, observing their appearance, clothing, and expressions.
Speak to them. Of course, due to the isolation of the cassock, the other party cannot hear you at all.
But Dancing Horse could hear their voices, and could not understand a single word of the Turkic language.
He even tried to break into the Turkic camp alone to see if he could trigger a temporary divine decree.
Once again, a ridiculous idea came up - simply find the leader of the Turks in the dark and kill him. Will the enemy retreat because they are leaderless? This time the team's divine decree was successful.
But these can only be thought about.
Now it is completely unclear what is going on in the Turkic camp. What kind of awakening techniques and skills the other party's awakened disciples know, and they rush through... That is an enemy camp with tens of thousands of soldiers. If their traces are exposed, they will fall into
Being surrounded by so many people, the final outcome is no better than falling into a pile of corpses and monsters.
So, he walked around the outer circle of the Turkic camp, got a general idea of the situation, and then left quietly.
Next, he went to the target valley that Pei Ji had determined earlier, and discovered something very interesting and chilling. This incident prompted him to change his battle plan for the next few days.
When he returned to Jinyang City, he immediately returned to the Tang Tower and spent three Divine Will Stars to unlock the [Dark Side of the Kasaya] from the Hundred Man Cover.
Then, I went to the Skull and Bones Academy again.
This time, he slightly changed his practice strategy and tried not to fight back at all, but just dodged among the skeleton monks until he grabbed the abbot's cassock.
After practicing in the illusion of the Skull and Bones Yard, I returned to my own yard.
The moon shines on the paper window.
The lights in Qingxia's house were still on, but there was a uniform sound of shouting coming from inside, high and low, scratching the heart and lungs.
The dancing horse stepped lightly and returned to its house like a cat.
Light the candles, open the "Collection of Records of the Prophet's Horse Dance Experiment", and record tonight's large-scale group experiment of thirty people.
He also wrote down what happened tonight in Suijueji, and at the end he wrote:
"Dancing on horseback, he went out to conceal his troops at night, and suddenly encountered more than ten thousand Turkic cavalry. He was calm in nature and good at strategizing. He sent generals to lure the enemy away. He climbed high and put on cassocks to save everyone's lives. Liu Wenjing said that he was resourceful in adapting to situations and could predict events like a god."
During the day, Wu Ma gathered the soldiers who were about to leave the city on the outskirts of the city. According to the previously planned plan, they conducted intensive training. He ordered the leading sergeant to divide the thousands of people into ten groups and group them for training.
The area covered was a ruler, and exercises on marching, formation, attack, defense, and retreat were carried out, as well as emergency responses to emergencies such as the moon being obscured by dark clouds.
According to the strategy of dispatching all members of the Tang Tower, Liu Wenjing, Yuwen Jianxue, and Qingxia were also incorporated into the team to cooperate with the drill. The training lasted a whole day, and the effect was very obvious.
Taking into account the physical fitness of the soldiers, Wu Ma also arranged for rotation of work and rest, so at night, the soldiers were in good mental condition.
The key problem is that for two consecutive days, the weather was cloudy at night, making it unsuitable to go out of the city, and the operation was repeatedly canceled.
However, Wu Ma took advantage of the clouds and pulled out the team again, selected a hundred soldiers who had performed well during the day's training, and specially conducted training to deal with the situation where the stealth state was broken.
Outside the city, the Turks became more and more aggressive.
In the past two days, although they did not launch an attack on the city, they completely regarded the outer city of Jinyang as their own backyard. They raced horses and lined up, and arranged for soldiers who knew Han Chinese to take turns scolding Li Yuan, scolding the Jinyang army, and so on.
.
They even set up a show in a grand manner and held a barbecue and bonfire banquet. Wang Kangda was so angry that he wanted to lead his team to rush out to fight several times, but was forced to stop by Li Shimin.
At the Turkic camp, the Turks were also different from usual. The fence of the camp was getting higher and thicker, and it seemed that they were ready to set up camp for a long time.
When the Jinyang generals saw this situation, they were naturally disgusted by the Turks.
Li Yuan sent Liu Wenjing several times to urge Wu Ma and tell him to act as soon as possible. Liu Wenjing herself was also anxious, but there was no reason why the weather was not good enough.
"Wu Langjun," Liu Wenjing said, "if there aren't too many clouds at night, let's go out and give it a try. Mr. Tang's urging makes me feel troubled."
"Okay."
In the afternoon, the dancing horse team was practicing in the suburbs. Pei Ji came. It is said that he was also ordered by Tang Gong.
"When are you going to take action, Mr. Dancer?"
Wu Ma said: "As long as the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the moon is bright and there are few clouds, all the suspicious soldiers will be out."
"Is it going to work tonight?"
"I'm not a god, I can't blow the clouds away."
"Tang Gong wants me to tell you that there is no way for me and the Turks to delay like this. We must not be discouraged anymore about raising troops. We plan to kill Daxing City in one fell swoop."
Dancing horses can only be said to be as good as possible.
"Actually," Pei Ji looked at the soldiers training in the open space and called Wu Ma aside alone, "Wu Lang-kun doesn't need to get too close to Zhao Ren."
Pei Ji's turn caught Wu Ma off guard.
"Brother Xuanzhen means..."
"We might as well talk to Mr. Wu Lang directly," Pei Ji said: "There are some ideological differences between Zhao Ren and I, but he completely excluded my people, which is too much..."
Pei Ji and Wu Ma had a brief chat.
It turned out that Pei Ji had recruited an awakened disciple, and he originally wanted to become a member of the Tang Pagoda. He had already made an agreement with Li Yuan, but Liu Wenjing firmly opposed it because of his misdeeds in the past.
He even said something like "With him without me, with me without him", with such a stubborn attitude, Li Yuan couldn't do anything to him.
"I'm not forcing Wu Langjun and Zhao Ren to go against each other. We are all colleagues and for the sake of peace in the world, we naturally have to work together in the same boat."
"The awakened disciple of my family is not as bad as Zhao Ren said. He was also a good citizen in the past, but he was bullied and killed someone by mistake. Mr. Wu Lang will know after checking."
"He is an awakened disciple. How can he practice without joining the pagoda?"
"As Mr. Dancer knows, there is no shortage of heroes to recruit the awakened disciples wherever they go."
"Yes...he has decided to leave now. It was only because of me that he managed to save him, so he reluctantly stayed."
"I've watched it these past two days, and Zhao Ren still listened to what Mr. Wu Lang said."
Wu Ma had no intention of taking over this troubled business, but Pei Ji is now a popular figure in front of Li Yuan. According to history books, when the General's Palace is built, he will be ranked second only to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. Such a figure
After discussing with him in a good voice, it was hard to refute his face, so he agreed to ask Liu Wenjing side by side first.
"Dancer-kun,"
Before Pei Ji left, he said to him again:
"Zhao Ren naturally does things with care, but his words and actions take up too much space, and it is inevitable that he will offend others. Moreover, Mr. Wu Lang also knows who Tang Gong is close to. For example, this time he left the city.
, others can’t resist, I have no problem with it. Just train with peace of mind and wait for the bright moon. Don’t dare to say more, if you resist for ten days and a half, brother, I can still help you.”
Only then did Wu Ma realize that Li Yuan may not have meant that Pei Ji came to him this time.
