Chapter Eighty-Four: Li Xiuning's Clever Plan

The day after Li Xiuning arrived at Weize Pass, Song Jingang rushed to the city of Weize Pass with an army of 50,000. When the first rider appeared on the hill, it was like an ant crawling on a bald head. Compared to the tall walls, he appears lonely and weak.

But when the ants poured up the hill like a tide, everyone's faces changed. The blackness seemed to spread from the front of the eyes to the sky, and the smoke and dust from the march soared into the sky. If these people rush over, I'm afraid they can squeeze through the reed pass by squeezing.

The soldiers in the city were in a commotion, and almost everyone decided that Wei Zeguan could not be held under the onslaught of such an army.

"Whoever retreats without permission, kill!" Li Xiuning was wearing black armor and a scarlet cloak, fluttering with the cold wind. The hand pressed the horizontal knife and raised the eyebrows, and where the phoenix looked at it, everyone avoided its edge. The majestic roar of a female tiger made the soldiers with trembling legs dare not look directly.

"From this day on, I live on the city walls. Either I stopped Liu Wuzhou's army, or I lay here waiting for future generations to avenge me. Li Xiuning shouted loudly, shocking the hearts of the soldiers. The leader insists on being on the front line, will the soldiers dare to run away?

"Swear to follow Miss Three! Swear to follow Miss Three! The pro-army who came with Li Xiuning cheered at the first time. Driven by them, the sound of harmony on the city wall was like a tsunami of mountains and tsunami. Song Jingang, who was camping, was a little confused, and he didn't know what was arguing on the other side.

"You kill a dog, and you don't allow the dog to howl twice?" This is what Song Jingang said to his subordinates.

Li Xiuning said that she would do it, and she really moved into the city tower in front of everyone. And ordered her own soldiers to block the entire city pass, and really did not go inside and outside.

Weize Pass is just a city pass, not a county seat. So, all the people stationed here are soldiers. In addition to the 1,000 soldiers stationed here by Li Yuan at the beginning of the army, there were only 2,000 soldiers from Li Xiuning. These pro-soldiers all started to follow Li Xiuning from Juxian County, and they were the elite selected by Yun Hao among tens of thousands of troops. These people are the backbone of the defense of Weize Pass.

However, seeing the performance of the soldiers today, Li Xiuning knew that it was not easy to defend Weize Pass. Liu Wuzhou's momentum was huge, and he had already taken the lead before the fight started. Now the morale has become like this, and you need to live on the wall to be able to hold on. If the war had been fierce, the grandsons would have disappeared without a trace. At that time, who cares about her, the third lady of the Li family with a big belly.

It is necessary to think of a way to make Liu Wuzhou's people dare not attack the city. It has to be done, and it's going to be figured out tonight. It is inevitable that as long as Liu Wuzhou's people attack the city tomorrow, they will be finished.

The maid carefully came in with a bowl of rice soup, and put a few delicate small steamed buns and pickles on the plate.

"Take it, I can't eat it!" Li Xiuning said irritably, now she hated herself a little for why she didn't have Yun Hao's cleverness. Inside that head, it's an idea when you think about it, and it usually works.

"Miss, don't care about the big one, but also take care of the small one. You are now a man with a body, and this meal cannot be delayed. "For many years, the master and servant, the maid understands Li Xiuning's habits. At this time, she can't eat. But for the sake of the child in the belly, you have to eat some anyway.

Sure enough, when Li Xiuning heard the word "small", he immediately stretched his brows. While sucking the rice soup casually, I was distracted.

"Whoa......!" The rice soup looks cold, but it's actually hot. As soon as the rice soup stuck to Li Xiuning's mouth, it immediately burned her. The rice soup fell to the ground and immediately flowed sideways on the green brick floor.

The rice soup was running on the ground, and it looked a little disgusting.

Li Xiuning stood up, and the maid hurriedly wiped the dress on her body. Li Xiuning looked at the rice soup on the ground in a daze, how do you look at these rice soups, how do they look like ...... Horse pee!

With a flash of inspiration, Li Xiuning's eyes lit up. There was a burst of joy in her heart, and a bold idea appeared in her heart.

"Quick, command. In the city, there is a fire to boil rice soup, and the more you boil, the better. Just go! Li Xiuning turned around and ordered his own soldiers, his voice sharp as a lion that had just won.

The soldiers didn't know why the third lady was dizzy, and she actually ordered to boil rice soup at night. But on a cold winter night, it's always nice to have some heat. It's warm and warm, and the soldiers don't have any opinions. But when Li Xiuning said that he poured all the rice soup into the frozen moat, the soldiers were dumbfounded. This is grain, and the young lady of a big family spoils food like this?

Streams of rice soup poured into the moat, and some simply froze over the walls. For a while, the fog in the moat was steaming, and the smell of rice boiling porridge drifted far away with the wind. Smelling the nose of the sentry guard under Song Jingang, the empty stomach became even more hungry.

Compared with these soldiers who boiled rice soup, Li Xiuning's pro-army was much busier. Two hundred cavalrymen, with all the mules and horses they could find in the army, began to run behind the pass. The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the mountains, and it lasted for a long time. The most troublesome thing is that these mules and horses have to keep rushing back and forth, not only human beings have to die of thieves, but even mules and horses are tired and spewing white gas.

The next morning, Song Jingang knew that the opposite side had tossed all night. He took his guards out to watch the bridge, and there were more than a thousand distances from the city, and Song Jingang restrained the war horse. Further forward is within the range of the Eight Bull Crossbow, and Song Jingang doesn't want to touch this mold.

"Look, General. What's inside the moat under the city? It doesn't seem to freeze yet, right? A sharp-eyed guard said, pointing to the moat.

"It seems to be horse urine, and it looks like there are a lot of war horses in Weize Pass. I heard that last night, the sound of horses' hooves rang all night. Isn't there someone coming to help? The adjutant general said with some surprise.

"No, it won't! Li Yuan's soldiers and horses are all in the pass, and he shouldn't have many men and horses in Jin*** According to the detailed report, it seems that there are only 1,000 people guarding the Weize Pass. Song Jingang was also puzzled, the situation in front of him was completely different from the situation he had.

"Look, General!" The two were talking, and suddenly the soldiers pointed to Wei Zeguan in the distance and shouted.

Looking along the fingers of the soldiers, I saw a big flag raised on the city gate. The big banner of Li characters with black characters on a red background is hunting and fluttering in the air. Under the banner, a fierce general with black helmet and black armor, and a scarlet cloak swayed in the wind. Behind him stood hundreds of big men, all of whom were tigers and bears. Looking at the city gate again, there are soldiers armed with swords and guns everywhere. It's dense, and I can't tell how many people there are.

"General, something must be wrong. You see, there are no less than 3,000 soldiers on this wall alone. Last night, the sentry on duty reported that the sound of horses' hooves in the enemy's city pass had been ringing for a whole night. Judging by the sound, there are definitely quite a few of them. There are obvious omissions in the previous detailed report. Shall we wait and attack the city again, in case this is a trap, how can we live? When the adjutant general saw this situation, he immediately gave advice. He doesn't want his boss to be overshadowed.

"Really, there are no less than three or four thousand people on the wall. If there is still a large force of cavalry in the city pass, you should be careful. In case our siege is blocked, and the cavalry takes advantage of the situation to rush out, our situation will be very bad. It's better to wait for the lord's brigade to arrive, and then make plans! Song Jingang was also shocked when he saw a large number of soldiers at the head of the city.

Being old and serious is Song Jingang's personality trait, just in case, Song Jingang decided to observe it.

Li Xiuning was blown by the cold wind at the head of the city for an hour, and saw that Liu Wu and Zhou's army had no intention of attacking. Only then did he return to the city tower surrounded by the guards. Sitting on the chair, Li Xiuning's lips were frozen purple. The maid wiped her tears and helped the young lady take off her armor. What a sin it is for a woman with a big belly to suffer this sin!

Listening to the maid's sobbing, Li Xiuning opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Hehe! Liu Wuzhou's people were frightened away, and no one would attack the city today. As long as we drag on for three or five days, wait for Yun Hao to come. I can hide and get some sleep. ”

Li Xiuning has never missed Yun Hao so much, and he doesn't want anything else to think about Yun Hao's early arrival. You can unload the burden of this million crops and hide in the city pass to quietly raise the fetus. This hard-working child has to suffer with his mother before he is born.

****************************************************************************************************************************

Li Xiuning held on at Wei Ze Pass, but Yun Hao approached his opponent like a wolf.

Kang Sheath felt very upset that his best scout grandmother had not returned. The lieutenant sent out more scouts to look for them, but those scouts seemed to melt into the forest. Instinct told him that tonight was going to be a tough night.

The moon in the sky hung in the sky like a silver platter, and the silver moonlight sprinkled the earth. Because of its proximity to the mountains, the moon is extraordinarily large and round. Of course, the moonlight is also extraordinarily abundant.

Kang Shahli hated the moonlight, and the silver moonlight made those who sheltered from the cold wind under the cliffs like lice on the bald heads. The only thing that reassured him was a bonfire lit above his head.

The cliff is guarded by its own people, and this is the commanding height of this mountain forest. From here, you can see the entire mountain forest at a glance. With such a sentry post, it would be easy for Konsali to keep track of his opponent's movements. As soon as his opponent was close to him, Konshali decided to let the warriors entertain these unfriendly guests with strong bows and swords.

As time passed, the space seemed to freeze. There seemed to be nothing in the woods except the cold wind howling by. The cold wind swirled and blew through the woods. It makes a "woo" and "woo" sound, much like a ghost crying in a legend. The branches on the canopy "crackled", and the atmosphere was solemn and eerie.

What's even weirder is that the night was very quiet. Not to mention people in the forest, not even rabbits have come out. The scouts overhead were even quieter and terrifying. Not once has an alarm been passed down!

With a knife in his hand, he scanned the surrounding mountains and forests like eagles. Sometimes, he even wishes that a group of people could rush out somewhere. At least, you don't have to wait here stupidly.

A few times he seemed to find something, but when he stood up, there was nothing. I can only stomp on my frozen numb feet to hide my embarrassment. It is really embarrassing for a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years to make such a mistake at this time.

Nervousness and apprehension made everyone maintain a high level of vigilance in the first half of the night. But in the second half of the night, everyone began to yawn. It's true that yawning is contagious, and as long as one of the soldiers yawns, a crowd will soon follow. One by one, their mouths opened wide like hippos, and they spewed out puffs of white mist in the cold winter night.

Inevitably, he was also infected, and with every yawn he seemed to be sober. But after yawning, a strong tide of drowsiness hit. pinching his thighs and wiping his face with the snow on the ground, Kang Shealy did not finally fall asleep.

The morning star has risen, and it is so dazzling in the night sky. Kang Shealy saw that many of the soldiers were already nodding and dozing off. He couldn't punish him, a day's march was tiring enough. Not to mention others, even he himself is almost unable to hold on. A pair of eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, no matter how hard I tried. It's like a boulder falling from a thousand pounds, and the sheath uses its best efforts to keep the eyes closed. Because he knows that as long as he closes his eyes, it will be difficult to open them again.

"General, you'd better take a break for a while. Let the soldiers also change shifts and rest, and the brothers will be exhausted. The adjutant general looked at the sleepy soldiers and said worriedly.

"Alright! Half of the people were put to sleep. Shift change in an hour! Kang shook his head helplessly, the coming out of the morning star means that the sky is about to dawn. At this time, there should be no more attacks.

"No!" The adjutant general passed down the military order, and the soldiers immediately fell asleep. Almost moments, the snoring began one after another. These bastards ignored the orders of the officers, and everyone thought they were supposed to be the sleeping half.

Kang Shealy was a little worried, so he didn't have to fight. As long as you trap yourself like this for a few days, your subordinates will collapse. Fortunately, I walked out of this mountain forest for two days at most, and I hurried more today, and tried to camp on the plains at night.

A thick tide of tiredness came over him, and he fell into a deep sleep with his worries. In the darkest moment before dawn, the cliffs were supposed to be a place for Turkic scouts. Yun Hao had three more bonfires lit, which was the signal for the attack. In a moment, more than a dozen powerful eight-calves shot out the thick crossbow strings.
