Chapter 1096: Movement in the Night
At this moment, the veteran suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be some sound in the wind, so he asked suspiciously: "Wood, did you hear anything?" ”
The recruit looked at the veteran puzzled and asked, "What?" ”
"Like...... Yes! The veteran tilted his head sideways, with years of experience, analyzing the information brought by the wind, and just when he was gaining something, suddenly, a sharp pain made him involuntarily let out a miserable scream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The screams were heard far away in the quiet and dark night sky, which was terrifying and frightening, causing a commotion up and down the city walls, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
An angry scolding voice immediately sounded in the ears of the veteran: "Sun Cai, what are you howling to kill embryos?" Your Majesty asked you to patrol here, not for you to chat, you can steal chickens yourself, and you actually bring bad Xinding, don't you want rations? Don't you want it yourself, and don't you want your wife and children at home? ”
There was a hot pain in his back, and he heard the familiar scolding in his ears, but the veteran Sun Cai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, well, he was still alive, not by the Tang Army.
Immediately, his heart rose again, to a certain extent, this bitter and scheming guy behind him was more terrifying than Tang Jun.
Sun Cai gave up the intention of covering the wound on his back, but turned around with the pain, with a flattering smile on his face, and said very doggedly: "General Yang, why did you come out in person?" I...... Isn't this teaching wood how to patrol the sentry? ”
Nodding his head, he gestured to his companion with his hand behind his back.
The recruit who is called wood is surnamed Yan, and his single name is a wood. Although his name was wooden, his reaction was not wooden at all, and when he saw the old soldier's gesture, he hurriedly stepped forward and echoed: "Yes, yes, that's what Brother Sun said." ”
The little leader surnamed Yang whipped his left hand, and while swaying, the two of them raised their necks and slanted their bellies, and let out a cold snort from their nostrils: "Hmph! Who knows if you colluded to deceive someone? Whether the Sword Pavilion Pass can be held or not is related to the future of our Shu Han and will determine the well-being of all the people in the world. ”
As soon as he heard this, the cold sweat behind Yan Mu came down with a brush, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Don't dare, don't dare, General Yang, what you said is too serious, how can I have that guts?" Sun Cai was in danger, he nodded his head, and the name in his mouth kept changing, and he stepped forward, flipped his cuffs, and quietly handed over something.
General Yang took it with ease, weighed it with his hand, and immediately distinguished the type and quantity of the gift, and he frowned a little dissatisfied.
Sun Cai has been paying attention to his expression, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "When the Tang army is defeated, I will definitely move forward bravely, and when I enter the Tang camp, I will also show my moves, general, you know that my old grandson has always been very fast." ”
General Yang thought for a moment, then nodded, inserted the whip back into his waist, and said lightly: "Well, this is also true, forget it, just let you go this time, don't you take it as an example, you know?" ”
"Thank you, General Yang, thank you." Sun Cai breathed a sigh of relief, didn't care about cursing the other party in his heart, and pulled Yan Mu together in a panic to thank him.
The recruit Yan Mu is not very good yet, but Sun Cai, as a veteran who has come from Liu Yan's era, is already familiar with this set, and he knows that the purpose of General Yang personally coming out to find fault is nothing more than to make some extra money. Relying on his rich experience, he gains more than others every time he loots, so it's strange that he is not targeted by this person.
Now, the last few five-baht coins have also been handed over to the other party, and future benefits have been promised, so that the other party has no reason and no need to continue to find fault.
General Yang's attitude really improved greatly, he waved his hand to the secret whistles in the Guancheng who heard the exclamations and rushed out, signaling that the warning signal was wrong, and then turned his head and asked: "Old Sun, I heard you say just now, what did you notice?" ”
"There seems to be movement under the city." Sun Cai replied truthfully.
"Under the city? What can be the mystery? General Yang glanced up, only to see the fire swaying in the Tang military camp under the city, and there were faint figures shaking, but where did he see something, so he had no choice but to say loudly, "It's useless to do any tricks, in front of the prime minister's clever plan, all sneaky tricks have nothing to hide, and in front of the Sword Pavilion Guan Tianwei and the 60,000 army, all conspiracies and tricks are false." ”
General Yang couldn't guess the enemy's intentions, so he routinely shouted a few slogans, anyway, it is best to use this to boost morale, and by the way, it can also strengthen courage.
The little soldiers really came to their senses, and they shouted enthusiastically, shaking their sweaty bodies and looking forward to a better future. It's all about defeating the Tang Army, entering the Central Plains, helping His Majesty seize the world, making great achievements, and leaving a name in history.
Only Sun Cai suddenly frowned, listening to something in the direction of the Tang army camp.
Seeing this, everyone stopped cheering, and the Sword Pavilion fell silent again.
In many cases, the experience of veterans can save people's lives more than force, which is one of the reasons why General Yang did not push him too much.
Sure enough, Sun Cai's voice sounded: "Everyone, it seems to be ...... Drumbeat? ”
"Knock...... Knock ......"
Suddenly, twice, there were bursts of drums from the direction of the Tang army camp.
The voice is not high-pitched, but it is better than neatly scattered, low, slowly, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, and like the light of the stars and the moon slowly shining out when the clouds open and the moon is bright.
As the noise of the Sword Pavilion closed decreased, the sound of the drum went from vague to clear, piercing through the thick darkness and reaching everyone's ears like a cloud.
"Quick, blow the horn, the Tang Army has sent troops to attack!" General Yang shouted in shock, the drums are military music, and they cannot be moved lightly unless they are ordered by the general, and the Tang army beats the drums in the middle of the night, which is definitely not a good thing.
Sun Cai hurriedly reminded: "General Yang, don't worry, it doesn't have to be a sneak attack, maybe they will do it again, and they want to harass us and prevent everyone from sleeping well." ”
Sun Cai's words calmed everyone down, after all, Tang Jun had not played this trick less before, beating gongs and drums at night. But now is a critical moment after all, it is better to be careful, Sun Cai's words cannot relieve everyone's doubts.
"That's right...... But this time they didn't blow the trumpet, and the drums didn't sound, so far away, who could they quarrel with? ”
"Why do they beat the drum if they sneak attack?"
……
Faced with everyone's questions, Sun Cai could only shake his head.
When everyone was at a loss, he saw that Yan Mu had a thoughtful expression, so he asked, "Mu, what did you hear?" ”
"It seems...... Music is playing under the city. Yan Mu said uncertainly.
"Playing music, at a time like this? If you don't sleep at night, who will it listen to? Is Li Yi stupid? General Yang laughed dumbly.
Yan Mu's face turned red, and he tried to defend himself: "However, the sound of the drum is clearly rhythmic, which is similar to what I heard outside the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong before......"
"Zhang Lu's Taishou Mansion?" Sun Cai's brain turned quickly, he knew that his companion was from Hanzhong, last year, in order to deal with the strong pressure from the north, Emperor Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty wantonly forcibly pulled strong Ding in various parts of Yizhou, Yan Mucai was coerced into the army, he was an honest man, his words should be reliable.
"That's right, it's Zhang Envoy...... That's him. Yan Mu's tone was affirmative.
Seeing that Yan Mu was so sure, Sun Cai guessed: "Is it difficult...... Are you doing something? ”
Sun Cai's words are very particular. The so-called: the etiquette is not inferior to the common people, the punishment is not to the doctor, since ancient times, such a thing as etiquette and music is a very solemn ceremony. Eighty percent of the drums that Yan Mu, an ordinary person, heard outside the Taishou Mansion, were not the music of the scholars drinking and feasting, but some kind of ritual.
As we all know, Zhang Lu doesn't have any great skills, plus he is the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the rituals he engages in, the Eight Achievements are things like Dharma.
The influence of Heavenly Master Dao in Yizhou is very great, and the propaganda about spells and other things within the Shu army is indeed very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Sun Cai immediately thought of it.
"It's possible, now Zhang Tianshi is in the Tang Army camp." As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately chimed in.
As soon as it began, all kinds of associations rose one after another, and someone changed color and said: "Oh no, Li Yi must be asking Zhang Tianshi to use a spell to bombard the city gate!" ”
"Quickly, get down the wall, lest you ......"
……
"What a panic!" General Yang shouted loudly, suppressing a lot of noise, "What powerful spells can Zhang Lu have?" Even if he has any demon methods, it is not worth mentioning, otherwise why would His Majesty take Hanzhong? What's more, there is no altar under the city, where is it so easy for him to cast spells? So-and-so will go and report to the general, and you will all keep it here for me. ”
“……”
The faces of the soldiers were not very good, and they were not afraid of bloodshed and battle, inspired by faith, but they were very worried about ghosts, gods, spells, and the like.
Zhang Tianshi may not have any powerful spells, but the Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty is not necessarily, otherwise, why would he be able to win a hundred battles in more than twenty years and conquer a huge territory twice as wide as the Han Capital?
Such a great achievement can no longer be explained by being good at using soldiers, it is simply a miracle, the Wude Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must be a messenger who has been favored by the gods and given a powerful Taoism.
Now that such a character is attacking the Sword Pavilion Pass, if these ordinary people are involved, it will be strange if there are no bones left! Who can not be afraid?
Afraid of something, General Yang just turned around, and before he had time to get off the city wall, he only heard the bells and drums in the direction of the Tang army camp, and the music was loud.
The next moment, the high-pitched singing voice pierced the sky and moved the earth!
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes......"
The lyrics are simple and atmospheric, and the singing is high-pitched and loud, like wind and thunder, piercing the silence of the night, echoing among the mountains of the land of Bashu.
The song of leaving the death alarmed the four fields, the mountains also listened, and the water should also be harmonious.
