On a night like this, and since none of them lit torches, the guys on the other side couldn't tell whether these fifty people were Han Chinese in disguise. In addition, they all knew the Khitan patrol leader who came out to talk, so they didn't become suspicious.
After the other side chatted together, Ye Qingcheng continued to ask them questions.
"Your Majesty, they asked us why we didn't light torches. I replied that we had used up all the torches and were afraid of encountering Tang Army patrols, so we marched at night without lighting torches. Their generals praised us, and they told us to turn south. After exploring the Yunzhou area, I went to Sanggan River and reported back to the base camp, and I will reward you based on my merits afterwards."
"Huh, how about rewards based on merit? It's not certain who will win and who will lose."
After confirming the identities of both parties, the 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side ignored them and immediately passed by them. They quickly disappeared without a trace. In order to hide, they seemed to have made no progress. Any act of lighting. When they passed by, Ye Qingcheng and the other two looked at them carefully and were sure that this was indeed an elite cavalry force.
If it is true that there is no garrison in Sanshoujiang City as they lied about, then this move is undoubtedly dangerous. If Sanshoujiang City is really lost, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Shuofang, and Datang will not have much hope. Opportunity to cross the Yellow River again. But if they lie to the other side and say that there are tens of thousands of garrison troops remaining in Sanshoujiang City, then if they are too afraid to go, they will still turn to surprise attacks in other areas where there are no garrison troops. The patrol posts they send out will definitely not be the same group they encountered before. Rather than letting them succeed, it would be better to catch all these ten thousand people in one fell swoop.
When there was really no trace of the ten thousand cavalry, the surrounding men immediately surrounded them.
"Commander, what's going on?" A fire chief asked anxiously on behalf of everyone. They all saw that this group of cavalry was heading west, and they could also see that their quality was not that of those roving soldiers. comparable.
Ye Qingcheng was still silent and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures, while Bai Quan also heard their conversation just now because of their spiritual connection, so it was up to him to explain to these guys what happened just now. thing. These guys were immediately surprised. If Sanshou Jiangcheng was lost, their responsibility would be huge. According to the law, they should be killed.
"Team upright!"
"Team up!" Someone immediately shouted anxiously. This place is already a certain distance from Shuofang. If we go back to report the news and mobilize troops, it will definitely be too late.
"Why are you panicking? I'm not panicking." Ye Qingcheng rolled his eyes at them, and then took out a blank talisman from his body. Everyone knew that their magical teammate was planning to start casting spells again.
I saw Ye Qingcheng using the index finger of his right hand as a pen to quickly write the runes on the talisman. When the runes were formed, he put the talisman to his mouth, whispered a few words, and then raised it. Fu Zhuan unexpectedly transformed into the ever majestic goshawk, bypassing the direction of the 10,000 cavalry just now, and headed straight towards Lingwu.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"As expected of our team leader."
"I don't know how surprised Wang Shuai would be if he saw a goshawk that can always speak human words."
Even Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan couldn't help but lament Ye Qingcheng's inhumanity. With his strength, it was unheard of that he could control the wind and rain in the mortal world. However, this is probably because the former Xunlong Sect members were too low-key. When they were high-profile, they were destroyed by the Great Guangming Palace. When they were low-key, only Yin Shifei was the only one who made a living by fortune-telling and yellow discrimination. Who would have thought of using it in What about the military?
Ye Qingcheng waved his hand to stop their flattery and said: "Although we may be able to catch up with the report this way, it will take time for Wang Shuai to mobilize his troops in three groups to go to Sanshou to surrender, and we are not sure whether they will attack first. Which surrendered city is very passive, but I believe in Wang Shuai's ability and let them solve it. Once these 10,000 elite cavalry are annihilated, the blow to the Xi Qi coalition will be considerable, although they are known as the Second An army of 100,000, but in fact 70 to 80% of them are herdsmen in peacetime and only serve as soldiers in war. The combat effectiveness of our Tang army is not at the same level. Without 10,000 elite cavalry, their main force will be weakened again. It will have a great impact on the future battle, and our current task is to quickly find a large granary behind their enemy lines, burn it down, and then retreat calmly. The purpose of our trip will be achieved. "
"Follow the captain's orders!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Also, from now on, none of you are allowed to speak at will or speak Chinese. Do you understand? Once your identity is exposed, I will question you."
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison again.
"Huh?" Ye Qingcheng glared at them.
Everyone suddenly woke up and quickly nodded and signaled in sign language whether to go on the road. In the scout camp, sign language is a skill that every Tang army must master from the time they are recruits. Without sign language, it would be difficult to communicate with each other, whether at night or in an environment where no sound can be heard. At this time, Sign language comes into its own.
After Ye Qingcheng also signaled with sign language, everyone set off again, aiming to penetrate deep behind the enemy's rear.
…………
A few hours later, in the general account of the Tang Army's military camp outside Lingwu City, Wang Zhongsi looked at a ball of burned ashes in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Just now, when he was looking around to check on the situation of the Tang army that had arrived, a goshawk pierced the sky and rushed towards him vertically from the clouds. He was so frightened that he quickly took the bow and arrow of the soldier on the side and shot it suddenly. However, The arrow actually went straight through the goshawk, as if it had no body.
All the soldiers were shocked, and immediately some people stood in front of Wang Zhongsi with shields. For fear that he would be injured by this strange bird, others opened their bows and arrows. This is a famous man who can win in today's world. , the opportunity for Shuofang Jiedu to perform in front of him might have made Wang Zhongsi happy. They could also seal a close-fitting tooth general or something, but no matter how they shot, the goshawk seemed to have no body, making everyone gape. They were stunned, they had never seen such a weird thing before.
However, when the goshawk was still half a mile away from them, it turned into a talisman with a "bang" and flew directly into Wang Zhongsi's hand at a speed that a mortal's reaction could not keep up with. , making him stunned. The surrounding soldiers were also shocked, thinking it was a hidden weapon or something, but now it seems that is not the case.
