Li Yaonan panicked in his heart: "I tell you to go on, all the soldiers who died will be credited with a great merit, and the family members can go to the government to receive the martyr's monthly silver."

"This statement is true." Master Yang was overjoyed. The martyrs of the Great Jin Dynasty were commended by the government just like the chastity memorial archway, and they were also given out money every month, which was enough to ensure that their families had no worries about food and clothing.

"I will write a letter to the imperial court." Li Yaonan's eyes were firm. No matter what, he had to do something for the soldiers who died. They fought the enemy desperately in Nanquan. Compared with the governor who ran away and the late governor, I don't know how many times better. He is not afraid of the imperial court. Do not agree.

"I'm going to tell them, my subordinates." Master Yang was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to share the good news with his subordinates, which could be regarded as boosting their morale.

Li Yaonan didn't stop Master Yang, and silently began to think about how to carry out the night attack tonight.

After dinner, it was already very late, there was no light in the dark sky, Zhang Xiaozhou, Liu Qiang, Zhou Dawei and other thirteen people came to Mr. Li's door by night to ask for an audience, and asked that they must be brought with them in this night attack.

Li Yaonan quickly recognized that these people were the soldiers standing beside him when he was talking on the city wall.

"Master Li, take us with you."

"Master Li, I want to ask you to be my teacher and teach us the art of war."

"Lord Li, I want to kill every single enemy army."

"My brother and Li Xiaozi are dead."

Thirteen pairs of eyes looked at him expectantly, with hatred burning in their eyes, Li Yaonan was silent for a moment, Liu Qiang's younger brother had spoken to him at the city wall in the afternoon, but in just a few hours, the fresh life had already disappeared.

"Okay!" Li Yaonan looked at them calmly, without thinking for too long: "There is no need to be a teacher. I am in Nanquan these days, and I allow you to follow me. How much you can learn depends on your ability. Now go to rest. As soon as the time passes, I will lead people to attack the enemy camp at night."

The thirteen people were both surprised and happy, they never expected Master Li would really agree to teach them.

"Thank you sir."

"Okay, you go down, there is not much time to rest, and you can kill the enemy if you have enough energy." Li Yaonan said lightly, feeling a little pity in his heart. Before on the city wall, Zhang Xiaozhou made inferences and immediately understood the meaning of tung oil and wine. Intention, he thinks he can cultivate one or two, anyway, it's not troublesome, so it doesn't matter to be a favor.

After the thirteen people resigned, Li Yaonan was not idle. Only after marching and fighting did he realize that it was not a regular army, there were no serious generals, and no one offered advice. What a worrying thing it was, so he made a detailed night attack plan , Li Yaonan considered it over and over again, and called the magistrate of Nanquan County to discuss it together.

Master Yang was astonished when he saw the plan, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, he said nothing but a good word, as if victory was close at hand.

The corners of Li Yaonan's lips twitched, and he instantly understood his mistake. He shouldn't have asked a literati about the war. Mr. Yang may be a good official, but his ability is really not that good. If Sun Ruisi is to play the role, I should not expect much from him, but Master Yang also has advantages, at least his heart for the country and the people deserves to be commended.

Ignoring Master Yang's praise, Li Yaonan thought for a while, and asked someone to summon the captain of the guard. Thirty people gathered together to discuss, and they always came up with foolproof decisions. He was never an arrogant person.

Lord Yang has a good temper, and he has no dissatisfaction in his heart. Originally, he is a civil servant, and he is not ashamed of not knowing how to march and fight. He is happy about Lord Li's caution.

"Master Li."

"Master Yang."

After the crowd came, he saluted them first, Zhang Xiaozhou and Liu Qiang were also among them, Li Yaonan knew at this moment that they were still the captains of the guards.

"Sit." Pointing to the chairs in the room, Li Yaonan unfolded the written plan and let them have a look first.

One of them touched his head and looked embarrassed: "Master Li, the young one is illiterate."

"I can't read either."

"And I……"

Li Yaonan was silent, and County Magistrate Yang laughed dryly, and explained: "They are all peasant boys, how can they know how to read and write?"

"Let's take a look." Captain Yan raised his eyebrows in deep thought. After reading it carefully, he told his subordinates about the plan. Dozens of people chattered, and Li Yaonan waited quietly. After finishing, Captain Yan asked: "The enemy army The spies have a way to solve it, otherwise the plan will not work."

Appreciation flashed across Li Yaonan's eyes, and he vaguely understood in his heart that if it wasn't for Captain Yan, Master Yang might not be able to hold on to the city gate.

"Nanquan is weak. The enemy will not think that we still have the power to sneak attack. They will definitely relax their guard. I know a secret road leading to the outside of the city. Look..." Li Yaonan unfolded the map of Nanquan: "From here, to here, The soldiers are divided into two groups, the former attracts the enemy's attention, and the latter attacks the granary with fire, as long as the enemy has no food, Nanquan can hold on until rescuers arrive."

Yan Xiaowei was very calm, and his vision was not blurred by the big cake in front of him: "There is another possibility. The enemy army is completely enraged by us. Without food, they will die."

"This officer has considered this point. When the enemy army attacks, they will definitely run with all their strength. Our army can dig a trench in front of the city gate, insert sharpened bamboo poles below it, and cover it with soil. With this wave If the enemy's morale declines again and again, and the three are exhausted, it will definitely not be a problem to defend the city gate."

The captains couldn't hide their excitement when they heard this, Master Yang was very happy, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after several days of torment, he just said, Master Li's strategy is very good, where can we find flaws.

Yan Xiaowei's eyes were dark, and a bloodthirsty cold light flashed: "Look at this, dig trenches at night, and then sneak attack during the day. When the enemy attacked the city, most of them were not in the camp. Our chances of winning are better."

Li Yaonan pondered for a moment, felt it was feasible, and revised the plan again, not only at night to attack at night, but also to kill him in the daytime, if the enemy's rear was on fire, he would definitely not continue to attack the city, at least to save Nanquan two The sky is safe and sound.

Lieutenant Yan was slightly taken aback when he saw the plan, and then he burst out laughing. Master Li acted so viciously that he was even worse than him. Dare to come again.

Now that the plan has been made, everyone did not delay, and immediately summoned people, Sun Ruisi led people to dig trenches, Li Yaonan disturbed the enemy's sight, and Yan Xiaowei led people to set fire to the granary.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Li Yaonan asked people to find a lot of livestock and firecrackers, and distributed twenty crossbows to Lieutenant Yan Xiaowei. He stared at the thousand soldiers under him, and unconsciously became heavy: "Everything depends on safety. For the top."

Xiaowei Yan was moved in his heart, and there was some disapproval faintly, which finally turned into a sigh: "Lord Li, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." They are already very grateful that Master Li came to Nanquan to rescue in times of crisis, even From now on, he is willing to escape from death, as long as he can keep the city.

Li Yaonan knew in his heart that Lieutenant Yan didn't believe him. After all, he only brought more than [-] people. Disturbing the enemy's sight is nothing more than a dream. something to grasp."

Colonel Yan didn't say anything. Master Li is a scholar. Although he is good at war, he has never experienced the cruelty of war. He thought that Master Li would bring a large number of troops to disturb the enemy's sight, but unexpectedly there are only thirty soldiers. He said worriedly "Please take care, my lord. If you make a mistake, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable." The arrival of Master Li has brought dawn to Nanquan. If there is an accident this time, I'm afraid Nanquan will really be in chaos.

Li Yaonan nodded: "Don't worry, when the battle is over, I will treat you to a drink. Don't forget to fight tonight, and return to the secret passage immediately after you succeed."

Yan Xiaowei's expression turned serious: "The next official takes orders."

After explaining everything, Sun Ruisi took the lead to walk in front, and he was always doing the secret affairs.

Perhaps, even God is helping them. Tonight's night is very dark and you can't see your fingers. It is the best time to sneak.

After leaving the secret road, Li Yaonan quickly split up with everyone. The animals he chased were too noisy, and if he was not careful, he would reveal his possessions.

Colonel Yan's expression could not hide his worry, but seeing that Mr. Li's master was confident and not worried about his master at all, he felt a little more at ease. He only hoped that Mr. Li's plan would really work. To be honest, he didn't think that a few beasts would be enough. It caused riots among the enemy troops, but Lord Li insisted that he had no choice but to compromise.

Animals are the easiest to expose themselves, but again, they are also the best barriers.

Seeing Master Li easily blending into the night, the thirty soldiers were taken aback. They thought they could not be as perfect as Master Li. Captain Yan asked them to take care of Master Li. When it was a last resort, they knocked Master Li unconscious and took him back. It's a waste of time, Mr. Li is very skilled.

A group of people drove the beast forward, using the body of the beast to hide themselves in the darkness.

The enemy sentry was quickly attracted by the movement here. For the first time, two people came to check. No one would have thought that Nanquan would dare to fight back. Although they were puzzled to see the beast, they were more pleasantly surprised, and they could add some rations.

Li Yaonan easily took the people down and changed into their clothes.

With the first success, everyone was overjoyed, and the second time they met five people, needless to say, thirty against five, naturally our side won, and everything went on quietly without arousing any suspicion.

Li Yaonan led six people who had changed into the enemy's clothes, no longer concealed themselves, and appeared in the mountains ostentatiously. Although he didn't understand the language of the Qiang people, his soldiers knew how to cover the rest.

Zhang Xiaozhou looked terrified. His blood seemed to be churning because of Mr. Li's boldness and the excitement in his heart. He never thought that war could be outsmarted in this way. The brains of scholars really Being flexible strengthened his determination to become a teacher.

"Hey, which team do you belong to? What is this?" A group of sentries found them, and the leader came over.

Everyone's minds tensed, but their faces remained calm. Wang Erniu stood up and asked in a Qiang accent, "Which team are you from? Go, go, we brothers managed to get the beast!" Come here, prepare for the tooth-beating festival, don’t look at it, and you won’t share it with you, damn it, the mouth can be as pale as a bird.”

The visitor looked proud and proudly said: "I am Caron, the cavalry under General Muwa's tent. Those who see things will have a share. Don't be so absolute in your words."

Wang Erniu sneered, "I'm still in General Si Yan's tent. I'll believe what you say." General Si Yan was the main general who attacked Nanquan. , Pointing to the enemy soldiers behind Kalong, Wang Erniu continued: "Take a look at the waist cards, I want theirs."

Caron waved his hand, summoned the soldiers below, and showed off: "Give them an insight, so as not to say that my uncle is bullying others."

Li Yaonan's eyes darkened, and he compared each other to tidy up. As soon as they approached, the person hiding in the shadow jumped up, and he was merciless in raising his knife and falling down. After a few muffled groans, only a few corpses remained.

Taking the tokens, stripping off their clothes, and dragging their bodies into the bushes, Li Yaonan found that he was very calm, and he didn't feel any intolerance. Get used to it.However, he has no regrets, others don't die, they are the ones who die, what right do invaders have for mercy, Li Yaonan will always remember the tragic scene on the city wall of Nanquan.

Approaching the enemy's camp, Li Yaonan stopped moving forward and glanced at everyone with a slightly hesitant expression.

Zhang Xiaozhou quickly noticed the abnormality of the adults, so he recommended himself: "If you have anything to tell the adults, let the younger ones do it."

Li Yaonan thought for a while, and decided to give them the right to choose, and said bluntly: "Now there are two plans, one is to light firecrackers to drive away the beasts, to attract the attention of the enemy army, and the other is to sneak into the enemy camp and loosen the ropes of the horse pens. When the firecrackers go off, the horses will be frightened, and they will definitely go on a rampage, and Captain Yan can just take the opportunity to attack the camp."

Everyone was very happy when they heard it, Zhang Sheng said excitedly: "I'll go, I'll go, if the horse pens are messed up, the enemy will definitely die of anger."

"Haha, horses are no better than animals, and the Qiang people must be reluctant to kill them. I choose the second option."

"I also choose the second one."

"Let me go."

Seeing them vying for each other, Li Yaonan was very relieved, shook his head and said with a smile: "This trip is extremely dangerous, one must be flexible, and two must be able to speak the language of the Qiang people, otherwise I may be exposed."

"I'll go, Mr. Li, what do you think of me?" Wang Erniu looked terrified, feeling that he had behaved so well just now that even the cavalry had been bluffed.

"I'll go too, and I can also speak the Qiang dialect."

"Go, you are still young, and there is still an old lady at home to support, I'll go, if I can accomplish something big, my life will be worth it, anyway, I'm just a loner."

"No, there is only one seedling left in your family. If something happens to you, how can you be sorry for your ancestors? I will go. My daughter-in-law is now pregnant, and the Liu family is also counted. The child will be happy knowing that his father is a hero. "

Li Yaonan interrupted their argument and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make any noise. If there are too many people going, it will only get in the way. Although it is dangerous to go here, if it is done properly, there will be no danger of life." Turning to look at Wang Er Niu: "Go ahead, just let go of the rope, you don't need to open the stables, everything is about safety, go back quickly."

"Decree." Satisfied, Wang Erniu packed up his things, checked that there were no omissions, and quickly sneaked into the night.

Li Yaonan pointed to the rest of the people, some stayed behind to watch over the animals, some pretended to be on patrol and walked around, while he himself sat on a tree, observing the movements in the distance.

The waiting time is always so hard. As time goes by bit by bit, the number of enemy patrols gradually decreases, and everyone's eyes are also sleepy. Li Yaonan knows very well that after the fourth watch, it is time for the last guard. moments of relaxation,

The soldiers whispered and yawned from time to time to resist their drowsiness. Master Li's dangerous military move this time was simply wonderful. Could it be that this is what the military book says, the most dangerous place is the safest place, If Si Yan knew that they were so generous with the enemy army overnight, I don't know how angry they would be.

The soldiers chattered and discussed whether they could repeat the old tricks. Li Yaonan quickly dashed their hopes. The reason why the night went smoothly was because of surprise. The Qiang people's victories all the time made them overjoyed.

The second cock crow sounded, and everyone faintly became anxious. If Wang Erniu could not come back before dawn, Yan Xiaowei's plan to attack the granary might be stranded.

Li Yaonan is only fortunate that it is winter now, and the nights are very long. If it were summer, the sky would almost be bright in half an hour.

"someone is coming."

There was a rustling sound in front of them, and everyone hurriedly cheered up and stared at the distance not far away.

The figure of Wang Erniu finally appeared in front of everyone, and his mouth was very curved, and it was difficult to hide his good mood. It was obvious that the task had been completed.

"How, how, is it going well?" Zhang Sheng was the first to greet him, and asked impatiently.

Wang Erniu grinned, his face triumphant: "That's right, you don't want to see who will come out, the Qiang people are still discussing, and they plan to take us down tomorrow."

"Haha, let's give him a big gift tonight."

Li Yaonan looked serious: "Okay, don't gossip, have you memorized the escape route?"

Everyone nodded, they were originally Nanquan guards, they were very familiar with this area, they could run with their eyes closed.

Zhang Xiaozhou asked worriedly: "My lord, you..."

Li Yaonan laughed: "Follow you, so you won't get lost, come to work quickly, tie the firecrackers to the tail of the beast, aim at the enemy camp, and run quickly after lighting the fire, make sure the beast rushes into the enemy's camp, and the night will be blackened. Archery is not accurate, as long as we can disturb the stables, we will win."

Wang Erniu smiled contemptuously: "Don't worry, my lord, the rope of the horse pen will definitely break if you touch it, and I have already thrown the peg away."

A group of people moved quickly. With the sound of firecrackers, Li Yaonan lit the signal, and the beautiful fireworks bloomed in the dark sky. The enemy camp was startled, and they immediately started making noise. place to catch up.

The sound of firecrackers was particularly loud at night. The beasts were frightened and began to run wildly. The Qiang army quickly became a mess.

"It's not good, the horses are running away."

"Damn it, who didn't fasten the horses properly."

"My lord, you can't see right, why is the embolus gone?"

"Okay, there are enemies sneaking in."

"Follow me."

Seeing more and more chasing soldiers behind, dots of torches hurriedly chased them in the direction they were fleeing, Li Yaonan simply became cruel, damn it, let it go.After finding a place to hide, he came out again with a torch in his hand. He believed that even if the Qiang generals suspected that an enemy had sneaked in, the news would never spread so fast, and this was their opportunity.

Wang Erniu acted as the captain once, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Catch me!"

Those who were chasing after glanced at them, turned around and searched elsewhere.

Everyone wiped off their cold sweat, ran and crawled, and ran at high speed.

Not long after, the enemy's camp lit up with flames, and many enemy troops retreated in a hurry. Wang Erniu threw the torch in his hand and laughed heartily: "It's successful, it's successful, look, do you see it? Captain, he succeeded."

"Shut up and run away, are you afraid that no one will find out?" Li Yaonan yelled angrily, and everyone hurriedly fell silent, the torch was no longer needed at this time, so they threw the torch on the ground and ran away, raising suspicions over and over again. Let the enemy find any clues.
