On a dark night, on a high ground, two men were lying on the ground.

Light rain falls from the sky, and in this cold night, the drops fall on people's bodies, making them feel particularly chilled to the core.

"Wang Tou, it's such a cold day, let's go back to the military camp!"

Of these two people, one is very young, in his mid-twenties, and the other is older, in his thirties, with a calm look. The two are surveillance scouts, the older one is named Wang, and the younger one is named Liu.

The scout surnamed Wang turned his head and glanced at him, and hummed: "The military order is like a mountain. If you want to use your head as a ball for others to kick, just go back and try."

The scout surnamed Liu shrank his head, Shan Qiu and hundreds of his own soldiers felt like brothers and shared joys and sorrows, but at the same time he was very strict in running the army, with clear rewards and punishments, and no personal feelings.

However, the scout surnamed Liu was still unconvinced and said: "I don't dare to disobey General Shan's orders, but who is Zhao Wei? What qualifications does a defeated general have to order us to do this or that?

Looking at his gesticulating manner, I just don’t accept it.”

The scout surnamed Wang said: "Don't be dissatisfied. Zhao Wei's name is very popular in Tubo in Longyou. When he became famous as a general, our General Shan was just a mere general. In terms of qualifications and reputation, he is much better than General Shan."

It's even worse, and...I think his arrangement of military defenses is very reasonable and reasonable, and he is not an ordinary person."

The scout surnamed Liu muttered in a low voice: "Then we can't be allowed to extend the tracking defense line to forty miles away. General Shan has always only allowed us to extend to the outer twenty miles."

"Okay, don't complain. The things that happened overnight will be over if you tolerate it for a while. This is our duty."

"King Tou, I..."

Scout Liu opened his mouth and kept talking.

"Shut up."

The scout surnamed Wang suddenly shouted in a low voice, stopping his words. He then raised his body slightly, raised his head, and looked into the distance with a solemn expression on his face.

When the scout surnamed Liu saw his expression, he quickly looked forward and saw a black current surging forward in the dark night. In the faint, he could hear the neighing sound of flattery.

"An enemy?"

"have no idea."

As soon as the scout named Wang finished his reply, he quickly held down his companion beside him with one hand, and their bodies were firmly pressed against the ground.

I saw dozens of flames lighting up in the dark night, and then leaping into the air. They were rockets, scattering in all directions, and when they landed on the ground, they illuminated a small area of ​​the world.

The scout surnamed Wang pulled the scout surnamed Liu, turned around and ran towards the bottom of the high ground. The two got on their horses. The scout surnamed Wang said: "You immediately notify the brothers around you to retreat. I will go back to the camp to report the situation here."

.”

Naturally, they cannot be the only two scouts out on guard. This scout surnamed Wang is a school lieutenant. Under Zhao Wei's order, he led thirty scout soldiers out to keep watch, two in a group, several miles apart.

"Okay, let's split up."

Although the scout surnamed Liu is young, he is also a veteran who has been in the army for seven or eight years. Without any nonsense, he took the order and left. The mouths of the two horses were wrapped in coarse cloth and could not make any sound. They rode separately.

, disappeared silently into the silent night.

The curtain was opened, and Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei walked in quickly.

"who?"

When Jiang Daxiong heard the noise, he turned over, stood up from the ground, drew his sword, and came to Li Xun's side to protect him.

"Big Bear, it's me."

As Shan Qiu spoke, he lit the oil lamp in the tent.

Li Xun was awakened by Jiang Daxiong's roar. He stood up from the carpet and looked at the sudden arrival of Shanqiu and Zhao Wei, both of whom had serious expressions on their faces.

"what happened?"

Zhao Wei said: "Li Xun, there is a team of no less than three thousand people, heading towards us."

Li Xun was stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened, but he quickly calmed down. After the two wars between Longyou and Jiangnan, and the sudden military changes, Li Xun had already adapted to a certain extent.

"Friend or foe?"

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "The scouts came to report that this group of people came at night and behaved strangely. They were cautious all the way and looked around. Obviously they didn't want others to know."

"Coming here secretly so late at night is not a good idea!"

Li Xun's face was heavy, he looked at Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei, and said: "Although the opponent has more people than us, their combat strength is still unknown. If we attack with a sudden attack as a whole army, we may be able to catch them off guard."

Shan Qiu nodded and said: "That's what I mean too. Although we are not many in number, we are all elites and we should be able to fight."

However, Zhao Wei said: "We occupy a favorable location, why not defend it instead of merit, and then send people to Guazhou to ask for reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements arrive, this group of people will destroy themselves without attacking."

Shan Qiu glanced at Zhao Wei and said nothing to argue with him. The enemy was approaching and it was taboo to argue endlessly and make it difficult to make a decision.

Li Xun was silent in thought, both of them had good opinions, but they were just words and words. At this moment, Li Xun realized how heavy and heavy the next decision was as the commander-in-chief of an army at a time of crisis.

Difficult, a wrong decision will affect the lives and deaths of many people.

"General, the troops have been assembled."

Lei Wanhai walked in and handed over his hand to report.

The hesitation on Li Xun's face disappeared and became resolute, and he just said one word: "Fight!"

At the critical moment, Li Xun did not panic. His stable mentality allowed him to quickly clarify his thoughts. After the Battle of Longyou, the army of the Dashi Empire was swept out of Longyou, so it was impossible for an organized army to exist in the entire Longyou territory.

The regular army of the Dashi Empire, who is hiding behind the scenes and wants to kill him, probably does not have the energy and means to mobilize the regular army of the Jin Dynasty to openly attack him. This kind of behavior is like rebellion.

Looking for death, no matter how much money they give, the generals with military power in the states in Longyou will never dare to mess around. Since they are not regular troops, there is only one possibility... Bandits, before leaving, Li Xun visited Huang for the last time

Huang Cun asked him to seek advice and inquire about the situation here. Huang Cun said that the land of the seven states to the west of Longyou is full of bandits and the people do not follow it.

Li Xun finally decided to take the initiative. He just wanted to understand the key point. If these people were bandits, although they were large, their combat effectiveness might not be very strong. They might even be just a ragtag group. He had five hundred elites in his hands, so why be afraid of them?

have?

"Li Xun and I led 300 men to attack from the center, while Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai led 100 men each to outflank us from both sides."

Shan Qiu said the battle plan. Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai nodded, thinking it was good. They looked at Li Xun. He was the commander-in-chief. Shan Qiu's words could only be suggestions, not decisions.

Shan Qiu has led the army for many years, fought hundreds of battles, and has rich experience in battles. Li Xun has no doubts.
