But Yuchi Gong was very sure of one thing. In the past, the black wolves in the sandy land in Lingzhou were kept underground. For the same reason, the existing tunnels in Weiyang Palace were a good place to house the wolves.
No matter how many tunnels are left, judging from the wolf cave under the sandy ground, Wu Meiniang's forces have extremely strong civil construction capabilities and can completely transform the original tunnels into longer and larger ones, making it easier to launch sneak attacks and retreats. .
If Wu Yuanqing is really going to launch a sneak attack in Han Chang'an this time, then Li Ke's estimated 90% success rate will most likely become a reality.
So Yu Chigong's heart is actually the same as Yu Anxiong's, full of urgency.
Moreover, both Yu Chigong and Yu Anxiong were very sure that the Queen Mother would definitely go to Weiyang Palace this time, and she would probably not bring many guards with her. This was the Queen Mother's habit for many years.
Maybe the Queen Mother likes Queen Lu from the bottom of her heart...
Despite the cold wind, the team was still sweating profusely.
But the veterans put heavy objects on the cart and tried every means to save their energy. Everyone felt that the battle Li Ke judged would happen soon.
Di Yong, the forward scout, reported back on horseback. He was not far from Old Chang'an.
Another gust of wind.
The heavy railway team looked up into the distance. At the end of the vast field of vision, a ruined city was pressed under the cold wind, with swaying trees...
Li Ke immediately ordered: "Slow down and move forward!"
The team must move forward slowly to maintain physical strength, and they must only approach covertly, otherwise they will soon be discovered early by possible enemies.
Yu Chigong and Yu Anxiong were both driven behind, and only Li Ke could give orders at this time.
Yu Anxiong waved his crutch to express his displeasure.
However, the heavy iron team only recognized Li Ke as the leader of the team, and only recognized those who should be trusted on the battlefield. Others had to stay behind.
Besides, Yu Chigong and Yu Anxiong did not hold any current military positions and could not issue any orders to the heavy iron team.
The entire team rested in hiding while nervously distributing weapons.
Li Ke ordered Tian Luming and Li Zhi to lead ten test subjects. All of these people had horses and could only be used at critical moments.
Meng Zhangfei came up and said, "What about me, what am I going to do?"
Li Ke really didn't think about how to arrange this guy, and casually threw him an infantry gun: "You protect the old man!"
Meng Zhangfei was depressed, but he also knew that he could only obey Li Ke's orders here.
In fact, apart from seeing Meng Zhangfei split green bricks with his hands, Li Ke didn't know if Meng Zhangfei was very good at fighting.
After swallowing a small amount of military biscuits and drinking a large amount of water, Li Ke, who was wearing light armor, drew his sword and ordered: "Heavy armor ahead, advance!"
Yu Anxiong and Yu Chigong looked at each other. Only now did they realize that the ruins of Weiyang Palace were too big to be covered by just a reinforced fifty-man team.
Is the Queen Mother already in Weiyang Palace at this moment? Have you fallen into Wu Yuanqing's trap step by step?
Both Yu Anxiong and Yu Chigong were looking forward to a negative answer, and even strangely hoped that Wu Yuanqing would not stay in the ruins.
But the two of them knew very well: Wu Yuanqing, Xue Bo and Wu Yuanqing, except Wu Meiniang, no one knew for sure whether he was in the ruins...
However, regardless of whether Wu Yuanqing was in Weiyang Palace or not, the heavy iron team's iron-blooded pace had already begun.
The grass swayed.
All the animals were muzzled, and the whole team moved forward quietly.
Li Ke bent his body and moved forward carefully, stepping on the thick layer of mud and grass under his feet, occasionally picking up an ancient and broken Qin brick or Han tile, and there was an ancient atmosphere everywhere.
Lao Yuan, who was in the lead, carefully pushed aside the dense withered grass, and then carefully turned back to signal to Li Ke.
Li Ke leaned forward, but when he looked around, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In front of us, we see the majestic high-earth platform and the ruins among the trees and old vines. Once again, the cold wind that has been roaming for eight hundred years is blowing in the sky, blowing up countless dust of the world...
Hehe, I am Weiyang!
"Fight or not?"
Li Ke had no choice but to pull Yu Anxiong into the grass behind: "It's too dangerous up front. Mr. Yu must obey the protective arrangements of our team. Otherwise, if Mr. Yu makes a mistake, the whole team will be beheaded." .”
Yu Anxiong was impatient: "Your Majesty, just give me a word. Should I be beaten or not?"
It seemed that Yu Anxiong was completely sure that Wu Yuanqing was in the ruins, and he was also very sure that the Queen Mother was walking into Wu Yuanqing's trap step by step.
Li Ke reassured: "Fight, of course we will fight, but Mr. Yu, you must be obedient and obey the protection arrangements of our team."
If a third-grade high-ranking official is lost in the battle, the heavy iron team will not be able to eat or carry it away, and they will all have their heads chopped off.
And it is still not certain whether Wu Yuanqing really stayed in the ruins of Weiyang Palace. More importantly, if Wu Yuanqing stayed inside, where would he stay?
Weiyang Palace is too big and the search will take time, but the troublesome Yu Anxiong is giving Li Ke a headache.
Yu Chigong walked over slowly and said to Yu Anxiong very gently: "Mr. Yu, please move your body and change your position."
Yu Anxiong was confused, do you still need to care where I sit? But doubts remained, so I finally moved my butt away.
This... Yu Chigong and Li Ke looked blankly at the spot where Yu Anxiong had been sitting just now.
"Yaoshou, yaoshou!" Yu Anxiong looked at the haystack where he had been sitting cross-legged just now and jumped up in shock, because there was a small pile of shriveled black feces in that position just now!
Yu Anxiong was actually sitting on a pile of feces just now. Surprise, what a surprise.
Li Ke picked up the feces with a small stick, looked at it carefully and then looked at Yuchi Gong.
Yuchi stroked his beard respectfully and sighed: "It's wolf dung, absolutely correct."
Moreover, after careful searches by the veterans, more and more wolf droppings were found in the tall grass, and now the situation became clearer.
Yuchi Gong reminded: "If the Queen Mother is walking towards Weiyang Palace, the consequences will be disastrous."
It is very clear that Yuchi Gong hopes that Li Ke can beat Wu Meiniang out.
And Yu Anxiong, who had just suffered the disaster of wolf excrement, became angry and said: "Your Majesty, now that there is evidence, we must fight!"
It is very clear that Yu Anxiong now hates Wu Yuanqing extremely.
Fight, of course we have to fight, but the scope of the ruins is so huge that it is impossible to cover everything. To fight Wu Yuanqing out, we must find a way.
The atmosphere before the battle became a little thicker. Everyone looked at Li Ke, waiting for the final military order.
The young candidates are eager to take the exam, hoping to get another chance to make another contribution. After all, the third-rank officials of the imperial court are watching, and an "excellent" comment is exactly what they want.
The veterans looked gloomy and showed calmly and silently that the heavy iron team is a trustworthy force.
The atmosphere of war has increased again.
Time waits for no one, so Lao Mo unfolded the rough topographic map he had just completed.
