Chapter 721 713 A Surprising Night Attack

Chapter 713 Unexpected Night Attack
After entering Shaanxi, there are more hills and the environment becomes more harsh. You can see yellow sand everywhere. If this place is not a must-pass fortress connecting the two places and has the border line of Daxia, it may really become uninhabited. district.

After leaving Yan'an Mansion, no pedestrians could be seen outside. Without any hesitation, Lin Xiaoyao and the others hurried to the barracks after leaving Yan'an Mansion.

When they arrived at the barracks, the sun had completely set, and the scouts would set off every quarter of an hour. Although there was still some distance from the Hengshan defense line, the scouts must not be interrupted to ensure everything was safe.

The gang leader has already started to boil water and cook rice, and there is a faint sense of tranquility and peace as the smoke rises.

After Lin Xiaoyao and the others returned to the barracks, they went directly to the commander's tent. As soon as they sat on the chief seat, soldiers came to report.

"Reporting to the Marshal, Lord Ye Xiao, the commander of the imperial army, is asking to see you."

"It's actually Ye Xiao who came in person?" Lin Xiaoyao murmured, and then said quickly: "Invite him in quickly."

"Yes!"

The soldiers retreated, and after a while, Ye Xiao entered the commander's tent.

"Your officer Ye Xiao, see Marshal Lin." Ye Xiao said to Lin Xiaoyao with the etiquette in the army.

"There are no outsiders here, so don't be too polite, Ye Xiao, did Zhilan send some information?" Lin Xiaoyao said quickly.

Ye Xiao nodded, and saw that he took out a kit from his arms, handed it to Lin Xiaoyao with both hands, and was handed over to Lin Xiaoyao by Lin Xiaoyao's personal guard.

"Brother Lin, this is what my sister-in-law told me to deliver it to you when it got dark. After I received the order, I hurried on the road without stopping, and I arrived in time."

When Lin Xiaoyao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Yu Zhilan did not hesitate to let Ye Xiao take action in person, but still left it to her in such a hurry. Does this mean that something needs to be done?
He quickly opened the brocade bag and took out the note from the brocade bag. When he opened the note, he saw a line of beautiful small characters written on it: "Information has arrived. The enemy has been informed of our army's actions and has been prepared, so tonight Take action, attack the Xixia camp at night, don't fight, you must retreat to the Hengshan defense line in [-] minutes, remember!"

"Zhilan is Zhilan, dare to think that ordinary people dare not think, do things that ordinary people would not do..." The corners of Lin Xiaoyao's mouth curled up slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Everyone—"

Lin Xiaoyao stood up in a flash. He looked around at all the soldiers in the camp, took a deep breath, and finally said: "Send me the military order and order my army to eat quickly and pack their bags. In half an hour, , march quickly, target - Hengshan Defense Line!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied one after another, and soon they filed out of the commander's tent.

"Hu Buhu, Sun Wenwu, Fan Xing, and Du Kang will stay for a while."

After all the soldiers had left, Lin Xiaoyao explained the tricks Yu Zhilan had sent him.

"Brother Hu, Brother Sun, I will work hard for you tonight."

"General Lin, what do you mean?" Hu Buhui and the others said excitedly with a flash of light in their eyes.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile. He walked towards the sand table, pointed to the Xixia barracks below Hengshan, and said, "Zhilan has already investigated, and the Xixia side already knows the movements of our army and is making preparations, so we can't delay any longer. It's time, I will give them a surprise night attack tonight, and kill some of their troops first, if you miss this opportunity, it will be really difficult to get a bargain."

"General, please rest assured that the Xiaoyao Army is already an iron-blooded army that has experienced the test of blood. The night is our main field. Tonight we will let them know the horror of the Xiaoyao Army!"

Not only did Hu Buhui and the others not have any worries, but they were in a new moon of spirit, as if there was no danger at all, and they were really about to harvest their heads.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyao shook his head and only heard him say: "It's not the time to show the true combat power of our Xiaoyao Army. This time we will conduct a normal night attack. I have only one target. Within two quarters of an hour, we will be burned." Their food and grass, and then retreat safely, you four are the main commanders of this operation, I have only one request, no one in my Xiaoyao Army is allowed to be lost!"

"Don't worry, general, if you can't complete the task, I will come to see the general!" Hu Buhui and others knelt down on one knee and said loudly.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, and said: "This time I have worked hard for you. After the soldiers have finished eating, you are ready to go. Someone will take away the bags of the Xiaoyao Army for you, and I will also lead them later. The army is going to meet you, so go ahead and do it boldly, don't be afraid of anything!"

"Yes!"

"I will retire at the end!"

After Hu Buhui and others left the tent, only Lin Xiaoyao and Ye Xiao were left in the tent. Lin Xiaoyao carefully looked at the terrain on the sand table and the distribution of the army, his eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Ye Xiao with both eyes, and said, "Ye Xiao, are you not going back?"

Ye Xiao nodded and said: "I'm not going back. I have been ordered by the emperor to stay close to Brother Lin during the Western Expedition to protect Brother Lin's safety."

"How can I need your protection as a big man, you should go back quickly, my elder brother is the same, why send me a bodyguard, Ye Xiao, you should protect the emperor, how can you run so far with me?" ?” Lin Xiaoyao shook his head and said.

"In my eyes, Brother Lin is the one who needs my protection the most, and you are the most important." Ye Xiao said seriously.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyao had no choice but to shake his head. Ye Xiao is good at everything, but sometimes he is too emotional. In fact, it cannot be said that he is too emotional. After all, in the eyes of others, Ye Xiao is a representative of cold blood. But Lin Xiaoyao is Ye Xiao's only brother, so he values ​​Lin Xiaoyao more than anyone else.

"Forget it, then you can come with me first, but when Zhilan and the others arrive, you can help Brother Lin and protect Zhilan and the others. After all, they are the people I worry about the most." Lin Xiaoyao thought for a while and said.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I've already arranged other experts to protect my sister-in-law. There is absolutely no problem with her safety." Ye Xiao replied confidently.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyao could only nod his head. Ye Xiao is his younger brother. It is not a big deal to have him by his side, and he is much better than himself. If there is something important, Ye Xiao may do it. better.

Of course, there is no need to worry about your own safety.

why?
Because there is still a master's wife who really stays with her every step of the way to protect herself in secret.

"Okay, you haven't eaten yet, go eat something, and then rest for a while, the army will be dispatched soon, and we also have to meet the Xiaoyao army. I guess we will be busy tonight..."

After Ye Xiao left, Lin Xiaoyao sat down again. His eyes were still on the sand table, with a bit of cold light flashing from time to time in his eyes, full of killing intent, which made people dare not look directly...
