Nowadays, the Great Eclipse Soldiers are becoming more and more difficult to find in the moon-white woods, which is likely to be due to Saleh's reluctance to meet and engage them at night, so he chose to take strategic refuge. [with _ dream]ā

I'm afraid that now they have hidden in the deeper part of the woods, waiting quietly, after needlessly exerting their physical strength in the middle of the night, the Tang soldiers will strive to wait for the opportunity to move again when the light rises tomorrow, and give the Tang soldiers a fatal blow.

Therefore, if Li Hong wants to end the battle in the dark night and continue to take the initiative, he must continue to walk deep into the woods and continue to compress the vague defense line of the Great Eclipse that has been roughly guessed now.

The moonlight is also gradually moving westward, and unconsciously, each other has determined each other's general orientation, which makes the two sides form an offensive and defensive confrontation scene in the quiet of the night.

At the time of the third watch, Gengsheng passed through the night sky from the barracks, and vaguely entered the depths of the woods under the cold wind of Cui, and at this time, Bai Qi also took Li Zhe and finally found Li Hong.

For nearly an hour, or even two hours, Li Zhecai took Bai Qi, who was good at tracking, to find Li Hong, which shows how big this large dense forest is and why the war is not fierce.

The tactics of lawlessness and lawlessness still played a big role, although the two sides now determined each other's offensive and defensive lines, but like the chess pieces on the chessboard, they were scattered in the dense forest, and they could not get in touch with each other.

A quarter of an hour after the sound of the third watch, in the woods, which had been clean for less than an hour, there were again black birds and birds scattered in all directions.

Saleh stood up suddenly, looked at the seventy or eighty people gathered around him, looked up at the birds flying in the night sky, and immediately ordered decisively: "Attack immediately!" ”

With a bang, the Great Eclipse cavalry also quickly formed an effective formation after abandoning their war horses, Saleh and the Sultan were placed in the middle, and the team of nearly eighty people was divided into three groups and began to shuttle quickly through the dense forest.

And their movements, naturally, will also startle the nearby birds and beasts, and with the birds and birds flying above him, Saleh has an ominous premonition in his heart for some reason.

In the Daming Palace, Li Zhi was lying on the sofa, his mind had been in a state of confusion, seeing that the third watch had passed, and the central military barracks, where many eyes were watching, had not yet heard the news that the victory or defeat had been decided, which made him a little uneasy.

After the queen's analysis, Li Zhi began to understand how important this seemingly child's play was a far-reaching battle to the Tang Dynasty, the court, and Li Hong.

There will never be real friends in politics, only real interests, this is what Li Hong has always said, if you want to make a truce with Dashi, or even cooperate, then you must show all your strength.

And the key reason why Li Hong must win this battle is that through this battle, he can effectively deter Da Shi, and when the attention of the Datang army is focused on the southwest, it can force Da Shi not to dare to use troops against Da Tang in Anxi at will.

Second, this time in the southwest, Li Hong obviously has to go, and the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty naturally fall again, he, the emperor who has been idle for several years, in order to prevent dissidents from making trouble in the court, Li Hong must take advantage of this battle to shock the eternal undercurrent in the court.

Third, whether it is a high-ranking nobleman, a wealthy family, or even some royal relatives, the relationship with Dashi is extremely hidden and close, or the relationship between envoys from other countries is close, when Li Hong is no longer in Chang'an, how the interests of Datang are not secretly given to various countries by them is an extremely headache, but it is still a big problem that needs to be guarded against.

At the same time, it is also through this battle to warn those exotic states with evil intentions that once the war between Datang and Zhenla begins, once they learn about it, will they make some small actions that go against the interests of Datang in private, or riot.

Li Hong never believed that the court of the Tang Dynasty had formed an iron plate after his own combing over the years, because this was something that did not exist at all, and people would have selfishness and curiosity.

Human beings are animals with strong subjective initiative, and what is common today may not be the same in the future, as new problems arise.

Just like the most ordinary and ordinary example, two friends who have grown up for many years will sometimes walk around, and they will be estranged unconsciously, and then they will no longer contact each other, and they will no longer confide in you about everything as before.

So you have a new friend, but you regard it as a confidant, and he has begun to establish his own circle, the two can get along, and when they are together, they can talk about it, and they will no longer be the friendship of the past, and even avoid the friendship of the year.

Between ordinary people and ordinary people, there will be changes in the relationship over time, so above the court, this kind of thing that is related to major interests, if it is impossible to happen, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

The court will always be a place of open and secret fighting, the center of human intrigue and struggle for rights and interests, and the booster of human development and progress, but everything depends on whether the person at the helm knows how to make trade-offs and balances, and whether he has enough prestige and strength to suppress different voices and the same ambitions.

In the woods at the fourth watch, the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, and in the eastern sky, he is reluctant to show the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Like a beacon tower, the battle groups approaching a dozen or twenty places are engaged in fierce battles.

At this moment, whether it is Datang or Dashi, the entire human war group has been exposed to each other's perception, and no side has any surplus troops left as a weapon for the second strike.

Li Hong and Li Zhe stood back to back, and the big cannibals around them also learned to divide their battle groups, so in the dark night, they couldn't rescue themselves and Li Zhe at all.

"Is it okay?" The corners of Li Hong's mouth showed a bloodthirsty sneer, and he leaned his shoulder against Li Zhe behind him and asked.

"No problem." Li Zhe, who was snorting and panting, could no longer feel the strength of his clenched spear, and this was a manifestation of exhaustion.

No matter how hard you use your heart, although the spear that was originally very light is still so heavy, when you swing it, the force on the spear is so weak that even you can't believe it.

"Follow me." Li Hong hit Li Zhe on the shoulder again, and the spear in his hand was already slimy, but even so, there was still blood flowing down the blade of the spear to the spear.

Although the spear is more lethal than the red tassel spear, in this kind of continuous battle, once the spear is covered in blood, people will miss the blood-sucking red tassel that looks like an eyesore on the head of the spear.

The scimitar of the big cannibal smashed the spear, and its strength was still full of energy, but Li Hong was obviously not exhausted like Li Zhe, and his arms shook the spear vigorously, making the force of the scimitar smash the spear disappear in an instant, and then took a step forward, and the spear was withdrawn at the same time.

The spear of the warm slippery hand flew backwards in the palm of his hand, and it slammed into the big cannibal behind him with great precision, ready to slash at Li Zhe's abdomen, but at this time, the big cannibal in front of him, which was separated by his spear blade, had already pounced again.

Li Hong held the hand at the top of the spear blade, and on the bloody and slippery spear, he couldn't withdraw it at the first time, so he could only choose to avoid the spear sideways, and at the same time let go of the spear with his right hand, and then raised his right elbow and hit the big cannibal's chin hard and accurately.

The right elbow followed with the hard pain of bones touching bones, but in the chaotic fighting, he didn't give him any time to think about what was uncomfortable in his body, and with a toe on his lower body, the spear blade obediently returned to the right hand that was put down.

Twisting the waist, sending the hips, and stepping backwards, a typical and standard return gun, and then in Li Hong's sight, it was Li Zhe who gave him a thumbs up, and in just a few breaths, the two brothers had teamed up to kill the three big cannibals.

The wolf howl sounded again, and a big cannibal who wanted to sneak attack Li Zhe from the side only felt a pain in his right leg, and the nasty hungry wolf, who ran out of nowhere, did not bite his throat this time, but directly changed to bite his leg.

"Livestock!" The foot was blocked, and the scimitar in his hand slashed towards Bai Qi without hesitation, but a white shadow behind Bai got up flew in front of his eyes in an instant, and then his eyes hurt, and before he had time to think about it, he felt that something was piercing his heart.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw the familiar spear blade in the hands of the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince, but it suddenly appeared on his chest.

Li Zhe sneered, and struggled to withdraw his spear, but he stumbled slightly under his feet, and he was about to fall on the scimitar of another big cannibal who rushed over.

But fortunately, he also had an imperial brother to escort him, and he felt a gust of cold wind blowing at the tip of his nose that was the coldest than the third watch, and then there was the sound of bones being smashed in his ears.

The big cannibal stretched out the arm of the scimitar, and it was smashed by Li Hong's spear in mid-air!

It was only an instantaneous stop, but it was enough to stumble Li Zhe reacted, turned sideways, pulled the spear, and the whole action was capable and concise.

Then, just like Li Hong threw away the spear, after avoiding the big cannibal who was smashed by Li Hong's arm, but still had an unabated momentum, and crashed into his arms, the spear was instantly pushed by him on the momentum line of the big cannibal.

The big cannibal was like rehearsing with Li Zhe many times, and suddenly took the initiative to hit the spear with his chest.

Li Zhe turned around and stretched out his hand, and the top of the hot, wet spear tip pierced out of the back of the big cannibal's heart.

So, what he had to do was to pull out the bloody spear, flick it hard, and use his inertia to smash it on the back of the head of the big cannibal who was about to pounce on Li Hong's back, with a fierce look and murderous eyes.

Bang, even if Li Zhe is exhausted now, the strength on the spear is big enough for the cannibal to fall to the ground, and the corners of his mouth began to foam out, and his body twitched stiffly.
