The stars in the night sky are bright, and a fish belly has risen in the east. I don’t know when, but a waning moon hangs under the white fish belly, as red as blood.
The sky is already bright, and it will be completely bright in two moments at most.
The two soldiers were wrapped in fur coats and shivering in the archery tower. They were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyelids, but they did not dare to sleep.
Almost every hour, soldiers would come over to inspect them. If they were found sleeping secretly, they would most likely end up being used as military rations...
No wonder the soldiers are not used to it. They built the archery tower two months ago when the camp was set up, but the number of times the troops have been sent to look out can be counted on the palm of a hand?
The two soldiers were fighting with their upper and lower eyelids sleepily when they heard a faint rustling sound.
"Where's the noise coming from?" a soldier asked sleepily.
"Wind?" Another replied casually.
"It doesn't sound like a snake or rat crawling into the grass, or a person walking over..."
The soldier replied and shook the spear with a broken sackcloth on it. From below, it really looked like someone was standing on the archery tower, moving his hands and feet.
This was used to fool the patrolling soldiers to show that they had not slept.
"Forget it, let's take a look..." Another soldier supported the wooden building and struggled to get up, "It's going to be dawn, don't let Commander Zhuang see through..."
Muttering in his mouth, the soldier moved his hands and feet that were about to be stiff, and stood up tremblingly.
After carefully looking under the arrow tower, he found no human figures or lanterns. The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and yawned again.
There is not much wind down there, but the wind at high places is very strong, making the watchtower "wow".
Where did that sound like a mouse crawling come from, and it’s still ringing?
The soldiers were instinctively suspicious and followed the sound.
When he looked westward, he froze suddenly, as if he was frozen.
In the distance, there seemed to be a huge white mountain ridge that was slowly pushing towards the military camp. It also seemed like a flood, flowing all over the sky and fields.
Flushed?
Bah, bah, bah, make a bird feather...I can't even see the clouds in my eyes...
The soldier jerked violently, kicked his comrade hard, and roared: "Quick...quick...get up and look..."
Not only was his body shaking, but his whole body was so frightened that he felt like he was sifting chaff. He was so frightened that he could not even bite his teeth firmly, and the upper and lower rows of teeth were fighting...
"Commander Zhuang is here?" The soldier below shouted in a low voice and got up like flying.
Is there no one downstairs?
The soldier murmured, looked at his companion, and then looked westward in the direction of his finger.
It seems like there is a white wall, boundless, and it also seems like a group of silent ghosts, rushing towards the military stronghold...
With a "brush", the soldiers' hair stood up, and in just a moment, white hairs of sweat broke out on their foreheads...
"It's Bai...the White Armored Army..." He roared, grabbed a gong hanging on the wooden building, and knocked it down hard.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of loud noises, like thunder, resounded throughout the rebel west camp.
"Can't we find out later?" Li Ming muttered, pulled off the bit from the horse's mouth, and got on the horse.
Li Chengzhi glared at him.
If you get any closer, you can hit the rebels in the face. How much closer do you want?
He also didn't expect that the rebels' military discipline was so bad. The army had already sneaked within a hundred feet before they were discovered by the rebel sentries?
As long as there is a little alertness, he can sneak within a mile, it all depends on luck...
With a distance of more than 200 meters, if we really fight, we only need a slow charge to rush into the rebel camp in less than a minute...
Li Chengzhi also got on his horse and gave the order to the Chinese army's drum array: "Blow the drums, light up the lanterns, and line up..."
Just hearing the sound of a drum, it was like phosphorus fire suddenly appearing in a cemetery, and several rows of torches suddenly lit up in front of the front army formation.
If you look carefully, it's still moving?
Don’t white-armored soldiers need wind protection when lighting fires?
The sentry on the archery tower was so frightened that he shouted with all his strength to the camp: "The enemy soldiers are less than fifty feet away from the wall of the village..."
Before the shouting had died down, the sound of small drums was heard coming from the white armor formation, and the sound was very rhythmic.
Immediately, a sound of "昘昘" was heard blowing in the wind, causing the earth to tremble slightly, and even the archery tower trembled.
Looking up again, the sentry was so frightened that he couldn't stand still.
The white-armored square formation was neat and tidy, as if it had been measured by a ruler. There was no trace of disorder, and it rushed straight towards the camp.
"I'm calling... I'm calling..."
Within a few seconds, the rebel army’s western camp turned into a mess...
……
Another sleepless night.
Li Wenxiao sat blankly in front of the oil lamp, his eyes empty and lifeless, like a sculpture.
Li Chun knelt upright in front of him, crying all over his face, as if he were mourning his heir.
Who would have thought that Wuzhi County, which Li Wenxiao regarded as his home base, would have been covered by Liu Huiwang's eyes?
As soon as he left Wuzhi City, a group of monks and thieves descended from the sky and intercepted him.
The monk general said: The King of Dharma has a decree. If he dares to leave, all the Li family members will be spared, including Li Wenxiao...
The monk thief even dragged himself and the soldiers' family members to the top of the city, claiming that if a stick of incense was not dropped, they would all be beheaded...
The result was that before he even had time to give the order, 60 to 70 percent of the thousand soldiers knelt down on the spot?
What are you going to do with yourself?
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard Li Wenxiao shout coldly: "Kill..."
Li Chun was startled and raised his head sharply.
When he saw Li Wenxiao's appearance clearly, he seemed to have seen a ghost?
Just in the middle of the night, Li Wenxiao's originally black and white hair turned into a head full of silver threads?
His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, bloodthirsty red, his face seemed to be smiling and crying, and he looked like he was crazy.
Who else could Li Wenxiao be referring to when he said "kill" at this time?
Li Chun trembled all over, his head banged loudly, and he saw blood after three or two blows.
He cried and persuaded: "Master, it's not that you despise your life and fear death... These thousand soldiers are the last support of my Li family. If they are all killed, the master will be like fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Liu Huiwang...
Think twice..."
"Hehehe... rely on?"
Li Wenxiao seemed to be really crazy. He laughed wildly, flew up and kicked Li Chun hard in the face.
"In order to survive, the whole family was handed over to the thieves. Is this the support of the Wuzhi Li family?"
What about you?
You haven't even started a fight yet, but you're leaving a way out for your own kid?
Li Chun secretly hated himself, his face was covered with blood, but let alone dodge, he didn't even dare to say a word to argue. He endured the severe pain, knelt down again at a distance, and begged with a cry:
"Please, General, please spare my life and let us make atonement for our sins... If he is really killed, the remaining one thousand private soldiers will not be able to defeat Li Chengzhi. By then, the Grand Duke and the Prince will really be defeated.
It can’t be saved..."
"Save?"
Li Wenxiao looked up to the sky and laughed, but his face was full of tears, "You actually expect Liu Huiwang to keep his promise?"
After learning that all his family members had fallen into the hands of Liu Huiwang, he had already guessed what fate awaited the Li family.
The entire family will be executed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!
It's not because Li Wenxiao doesn't listen to orders, but because he harbors evil intentions. The reason is the prophecy bronze medal that says "The Liu family will be in power, and the Li family will be the assistant."
Everything is over...
In the blink of an eye, we were surrounded on all sides?
The prophecy is false, Li Wenxiao is not a destiny at all...
The secret of concocting prophecies to induce Liu Huiwang to rebel has been discovered by him...
The whole family has also fallen into the hands of Liu Huiwang. With the viciousness of this monk and thief, he secretly hates that even if he really defeats Li Chengzhi, he will never leave half of the Li family alive...
What's even more despicable is that Liu Huiwang's spies and spies are already everywhere at home and around him, but he doesn't notice at all?
Li Wenxiao's facial features were ferocious, and he looked at Li Chun as if he were an enemy. He gritted his teeth with hatred: "Do you know why I am in this situation? It's just because my family is full of people like you who are worse than pigs and dogs. They are ungrateful and eat everything inside and outside..." "Master of the family, it's really not me..." Li Chun hit his head on the ground one after another and cried hoarsely, "If I, Li Chun, do even half a thing of betraying the master of the family, my descendants will be killed..." p>
"Then go to hell?" Li Wenxiao roared violently.
Not to mention your Li Chun family, even if your whole family is dead, how can you be worth even half a hair of the Lord’s children?
It's over, it's all over...
The Wuzhi Li family will soon be exterminated...
While roaring, Li Wenxiao actually pulled out the knife and struck Li Chun on the head.
No matter how foolish and loyal Li Chun is, he can't even hide when a knife hits his head.
He rolled on the spot, dodged Li Wenxiao's knife, knelt on the ground again, gritted his teeth and cried: "Even if you want to kill us, you are willing to ask the master to let me wait in front of the battle to fight, at least
It can give the family master a chance of respite...
As long as he wins one or two games, Liu Huiwang will definitely be able to hand over all the general power to the family leader, and it won’t be too late to start planning..."
Xu Xu Tuzhi?
Do you think these are ordinary bandits and rebels?
Do you know why Liu Huiwang, who was always on guard in the past, suddenly not only dared to let himself lead the army, but also put all the main forces of the rebels into his own hands?
Just because Liu Huiwang believed that in the past two months, nine out of ten soldiers and generals in the camp had become his followers. Even if he wanted to rebel, he could not rebel at all.
Fulin was so moved that Li Wenxiao suddenly guessed why his subordinates, his family, and even his close associates had become Liu Huiwang's spies?
I am afraid that I have been bewitched by Liu Huiwang and his men and become a believer of the Mahayana sect...
Even Li Chun in front of him might have turned against him and would turn around and join Liu Huiwang's command, right?
Okay, then let’s die together...
For a time, Li Wenxiao was obsessed with everything, and even planned to die together.
Unable to reach Li Chun, he instinctively wanted to get up, but as soon as he raised his buttocks, his vision went dark.
The man "jumped" and sat back down again, and even the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
"Master?" Li Chun exclaimed and rushed over like flying.
"Go away..." Li Wenxiao roared and subconsciously wanted to push him away.
He now sees everyone as a traitor...
"Report..."
Just as Li Chun was supporting Li Wenxiao, he suddenly heard a loud roar outside the tent, and a messenger rushed in in a panic, kneeling on the ground with a "pop" sound.
Seeing his earth-colored face and frightened eyes, Li Chun's heart tightened: Could it be that Li Chengzhi has already come here?
Sure enough, I heard the ordering soldier say urgently: "General, the White Armored Army is coming... When I came to report, I had already rushed to about twenty feet in front of the stronghold and was filling in the trench?"
Filling in trenches?
Li Chun's face changed wildly, seeming to frighten him even more than when Li Wenxiao raised his knife to kill him.
He asked with eyes wide open: "Is the White Armored Army attacking from the front?"
"It was during a strong attack... To the west of the camp, the mountains and plains were full of white-armored thieves... In addition, there were countless chariots in the north of the camp, as if they were setting up formations, and even a large plume of smoke and dust was seen south of the southern camp.
It seems to be outflanking our army..."
Covered from all sides?
Li Wenxiao was startled.
He seemed to have heard a big joke.
How many white-armored thieves are there?
He boarded the cloud carriage yesterday and had already counted Li Chengzhi clearly.
Counting the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, there are only two out of ten thousand...
And what about the righteous teacher?
There are nearly 20,000 fighting soldiers alone, as well as 50,000 to 60,000 civilians... Many of them regard Liu Huiwang as his reborn parents, and as long as the bald thief gives an order, he can regard death as if he is home...
Where did Li Chengzhi get the courage to attack from all sides?
How dare you go so deep without fear of being outflanked by the Righteous Master?
If they are so stupid, how can the white-armored soldiers win consecutive battles, and every battle is so weird?
There must be only one side with real troops, and the other sides are all feints. I just don’t know which side is real and which side is virtual...
Just as Li Wenxiao was about to give the order, he reacted suddenly.
I just thought about dying together, but now I am worried again?
Wouldn't it be better to die and be buried with Li...
But is it really possible to just give up and let the Wuzhi Li family end up being exterminated?
But who can come to save me?
I’m so unwilling...
For a moment, Li Wenxiao's face turned gloomy and glaring, and he was a little unsteady.
Seeing him sitting still, Li Chun became anxious.
The military situation is like a fire... The White Armored Army came so fast that they had already reached the base of the camp wall before dawn?
At this time, the military camp is probably in chaos. If the white-armored thieves are more courageous and charge into the camp regardless of casualties, there is a high possibility that the righteous army will be defeated. How can they delay it?
Li Chun hissed: "Master, Li Chengzhi is about to call in..."
Li Wenxiao sneered instinctively: "How can a righteous teacher be so vulnerable? Even Li Chengzhi will never be so stupid..."
Um...no...
Li Chengzhi?
Yes, Li Chengzhi... there is another Li Chengzhi?
Did you just think of it yourself?
In an instant, like a dying patient coming back to his senses, Li Wenxiao's originally pale face flushed instantly, and his eyes were filled with light, which was frighteningly bright.
"Li Chun!"
Li Chun was stunned subconsciously: "Master?"
"I will give you a chance... You will personally lead the thousand armored soldiers to garrison the northern camp. I don't expect a big victory. All I need is that you stick to your position and keep the white-armored thieves in the north of the camp out of the camp..." p>
Li Wenxiao's eyes were as cold as arrows, and his voice was even colder to the bone: "Don't even think about defecting to the monks and thieves. That Liu Huiwang is relying on me, and you don't want to think about whether he is willing to do it for me if I am determined to kill you."
To protect you and offend me?"
As he spoke, he sighed again: "I, Li Wenxiao, do what I say, and after this time, let your mistakes be forgotten..."
Li Chun felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't even dare to look into Li Wenxiao's eyes.
Isn't he going crazy? Why is he still so calm and able to guess his own plans...
Li Chunmeng lowered his head: "Master, don't worry, even if Li Chun dies in front of the battle, he will never do anything worse than a beast..."
"Hehehe..." Li Wenxiao sneered and just waved his hand, "Go away..."
Li Chun kowtowed three times, stood up and left.
Li Wenxiao was the only one left in the account again.
The candle flame burned a large piece of butter wax, and from time to time there would be a "crackling" sound. Looking outside, it was already bright.
Seeing no one around, Li Wenxiao fiercely pulled out a piece of silk paper and started writing quickly. While writing, he kept muttering: "Liu Huiwang, Liu Huiwang, you are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust... Let's see who dies first."
?"
Then he heard another wild laugh, laughing, as if he was choking, and Li Wenxiao violently began to cough.
On the snow-white silk, there were specks of blood from coughing...
