[Cehua] The wind and rain are like dark

The camp was full of people running back and forth, the number of garrison troops was small, and the rebels started attacking the city again, so no one could be idle.The soldiers under the tower also recognized that He Xiaoxiao was originally from the camp, so they didn't stop him.He originally wanted to find Li Jin, but he heard the sound of slaughter and shouts in the city ahead, and knew that he should not add to the chaos, so he stopped at the bottom of the city.He didn't stand still for a long time, and the wounded began to be brought down one after another from the city. Everyone was running around, their faces were covered with blood and smoke. Although He Xiaoxiao was anxious, he also knew that he had come at the wrong time. I was redundant, so I heard someone shouting for the medical officer over there. After shouting for a long time, no one could be found in the camp. It seemed that the medical officer was busy elsewhere and could not take care of this place.

He Xiaoxiao picked up the hem of his clothes and walked quickly across the messy camp.

"It's okay, it's okay," he waved at the soldiers, "I'll come here first!"

The soldiers around all recognized him, each called Mr. He and ran away in a hurry.Although He Xiaoxiao is a disciple of Danqing, he understands the basic mentality of Li Jing Yi Dao, and even less serious injuries can be healed.He looked at these people. Most of them were injured by arrows. Fortunately, they were not vital parts, but they were just inconvenient to move.He Xiaoxiao held down the wounded man on the ground with one hand, pulled out a knife with the other hand, dug out the arrow on the man's shoulder, washed it with water, took out the hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on the wound.There were several people around, and he didn't have time to work carefully, so he had to stop the bleeding for them hastily.Not far away, the sound of killing and cutting came from the city tower. Although he couldn't see it here, his heart tightened when he heard the sound.But once he got busy, he gradually forgot about going to Li Jin.

The military doctor did not know when he appeared by his side. He glanced at He Xiaoxiao, but said nothing.The weather was too hot, and He Xiaoxiao couldn't care less, so he used the wounded cloth to pull up his hair, rolled up his sleeves and continued to work.Sweat dripped from the cheeks to the chin, but there was no room for his hands, so he could only keep raising his arms and wiping them with the sleeves rolled up to his upper arms. After a long time, He Xiaoxiao felt dizzy. That wave of offensive seems to have not stopped, and the Spike Army seems to never tire.

Sweat mixed with dust flowed into his eyes, it was hot and painful, forcing him to put down the things in his hands, wiped his blood-stained hands on his clothes, and turned to rub his eyes.Tears flowed, He Xiaoxiao blinked, and suddenly saw Li Jin standing among a group of people not far away, talking loudly, as if he was assigning some mission.A group of people dispersed separately, Li Jin just turned around when he saw He Xiaoxiao.Seeing that he was fine, He Xiaoxiao felt relieved suddenly, and was about to call him, but Li Jin was called by his name from the far side. He didn't have time to go to He Xiaoxiao's side, so he could only wave to him, and then quickly ran away.

It wasn't until dusk that the Spike Army's attack on the city gradually weakened.The camp gradually became quiet, and torches began to be lit everywhere.He Xiaoxiao supported his knees and stood up very slowly, but still staggered.His legs hurt so badly that he couldn't stand, he could feel wet and sticky sweat dripping down his armpits on both sides, blown by the summer night wind, he didn't know whether it was cold or hot, and he couldn't stop beating Two shudders.He wanted to take a step, but staggered again, and the deep voices of the wounded around him were infinitely amplified in his eardrums.

One hand supported him from behind, He Xiaoxiao looked back, Li Jin was standing behind him frowning, at such a close distance, he could clearly smell the smell of fireworks and blood on Li Jin's body, as well as The smell of sweat, these smells mixed together are really not pleasant, but He Xiaoxiao knows that he is the same.Just as he was about to speak, Li Jin stretched out his hand and pulled the thing on He Xiaoxiao's head forcefully, frowning, "How do you tie this on your head!"

He Xiaoxiao saw that it was the white cloth used for bandaging earlier, and he didn't care so much before, so he couldn't imagine whether it was auspicious or not.He smiled helplessly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Jin holding a bow in one hand and a circle of arrows.

He Xiaoxiao took half a step forward, as if he couldn't see the people coming and going around him at all, he held Li Jin's cheeks with both hands, and looked around him carefully.

"You're not hurt... as long as you're not hurt, as long as you're not hurt..."

"No, it's not that easy for me..." Before Li Jin could finish speaking, someone called him again.He had no choice but to wave his hands at He Xiaoxiao, and hurriedly said: "You are free for these two days, you should move into the camp, once the city is besieged, what will happen in the city, you must not stay outside."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked away. These words were fast, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. The embarrassment of the previous quarrel had not completely disappeared.

Spike General An Sijie led the troops to re-siege the city.The two previous sieges had been repulsed, and he had already suffered much criticism in the army. This time, he was besieged again with a desperate effort to completely trap the city.Earlier when Zhou Shousong sent people to join the battle, there were less than [-] garrison troops in the city, and they beat his troops to the point of losing soldiers and generals.An Sijie came back this time, in the previous panic, he somewhat added a sense of determination to win.The spies had obtained information, and the surrounding places that could provide food for the city were all worried that they would fall, and were unwilling to lend a helping hand.Before I withdrew my troops last time, I wiped out the surrounding area. The city has survived the season of starvation without making a sound, so there must be no more food.As long as they run out of food, it will be self-defeating.I am not in a hurry, I just lead people to surround and guard them, and it is best to trap them to death.

"Today, the spies have found out that there are three large camps stationed here, here, and here. In the northeast, here, grain and grass are stored. But I don't know how much."

Zhou Shousong withdrew his hand from the map, shook his head, and looked at the flickering lights.Li Jin stood beside him, his head half bowed without saying a word.Zhou Shousong waited for a long time, but Li Jin didn't respond, so he could only say, "Li Jin, you..."

"General Zhou, don't say any more," Li Jin nodded suddenly, "I will leave the city tomorrow night to investigate the situation."

"What? You...you're not..." Now it was Zhou Shousong's turn to be surprised.Previously, Li Jin was determined not to accept the military post appointed by the imperial court, and he was even more determined to ask Zhou Shousong not to publicize this matter in the city. Zhou Shousong thought that he was planning to back off and avoid the matter.It was only because he knew that Li Jin had the talent to lead the army, and he was also clever, and the current posture of the Spike Army to besiege the city was not right, so he called Li Jin here, just to ask his opinion, but Li Jin did not expect Opening your mouth is willing to go out of town.

"...General Zhou, I don't want to lead troops anymore, it's not that I don't want to take the lead." Li Jin said in a low voice, "I know that this trip is dangerous, and all the lieutenants under your command are in important positions, so we must not take any risks. When I go out of the city at night, the general should not tell others to know, if he is lucky enough to bring the news back, the general does not need to mention me to others; if he does not come back..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Shousong interrupted him sternly, but his eyes couldn't stop lighting up, "Li Jin, I know you still can't let it go...but I don't say anything else, I know how much you are capable of. The Wolf Fang camp will not trouble you."

Li Jin bowed his head and remained silent.Zhou Shousong said again: "Tomorrow night, take [-] elite cavalry and go out through the south side door."

"General Zhou..." Li Jin raised his head, his eyes flickering, "I don't want to bring anyone, a few people are enough for the investigation, why bother to bring so many—"

There was a little imperceptible fear in his expression.Zhou Shousong's expression suddenly turned serious, Li Jin glanced at him again, and had no choice but to stop talking.

"Li Jin." Zhou Shousong pointed his fingers on the map, and the lights flickered. His back was as gloomy as his voice, "I don't know what's going on in the city. There's only one month left in the army at most." food."

Li Jin was stunned for a moment, although Zhou Shousong had already turned and walked to the other side, he already understood what Zhou Shousong meant.The Spike Army has enough food and grass, so take people out, explore if you can, and rob if you can.An Sijie and the others are not fools, they must know that there is not much food left in their city, so they are not afraid that the Wolf Fang Army will find out that the city has begun to lack food.The Wolf Fang camp was stationed in the northeast of the city gate. Although a very long line of defense had been drawn up for the siege of the city, the line to the south was weak, so it was most appropriate to leave the city from the south side gate.

On the second day, the Spike Army attacked the city as usual, Li Jin didn't go to the city to join the battle, but all day long he was instructing his soldiers to go out of the city to investigate matters tonight, so he couldn't make up his mind to look for He Xiaoxiao.But he knew that He Xiaoxiao could still make a clear distinction on this kind of matter and would not delay.When I was busy during the day, I occasionally had a thought or two, if I couldn't come back from this trip, wouldn't I never see He Xiaoxiao again.But these thoughts were only fleeting, and he strangled them in the bud.There is still an important task at night, he must not be distracted by it - Li Jin thought so, but felt even more ashamed of He Xiaoxiao, so he had to try his best to shift his mind to the things in hand.He was assigned a troop of elite cavalry. This group of people had never seen him, and they were not usually led by him. Now they were suddenly handed over to such a man who fell from the sky, and they must be dissatisfied.Li Jin is very clear, but he also knows that these elites are well-trained, and in the face of a big enemy, they can distinguish which is more important, and they will never make unreasonable troubles because of this little dissatisfaction in their hearts.Thinking of this, he simply calmed down and prepared.

Zhou Shousong had a good day.After a whole day of siege without success, the Spike Army withdrew its troops and retreated to the camp at night, leaving only a small number of patrolling cavalry to walk back and forth not far from the city to investigate.Tonight, the moonlight is hazy and dim, and it is sometimes covered by black clouds. The weather is extremely hot, and it is estimated that it will rain heavily.It's been a dry year and it hasn't rained much for a long time.Li Jin led his men to the city gate, the sky was dark, only the leading cavalry had a few torches in their hands, and there were a few shouts from the guarding soldiers from the city, and the torches flickered.Li Jin straddled his horse with a long gun in his hand, rode his horse back a few steps and looked up to see the signal on the city, then waved his hand to signal the people in front to put out the torches.The surroundings fell into relative darkness, only the slight snorting of people and horses could be heard.

The weather was too sweltering, heavy armor couldn't be worn, and everyone was wearing light armor. In order not to attract attention, even the light armor was wiped with plant ash. Recognizable, there is a crown feather on the head, even the silver hair crown is painted black, only the red, white and white feathers can be barely distinguished not far away.

The signal torch flickered a few more times, and Li Jin knew that it was the Spike cavalry who were investigating the situation of the city in the distance.This gap is precious and there is no room for delay.The side door opened silently.Li Jin half stood up from the stirrups, and gestured to the back.

The moment he led people out of the city gate, he was in a daze.The days of this kind of leadership seemed to be far away from him, and he never even thought that he would have such a day again.He was only distracted for a short moment, and immediately realized that he couldn't do this, so he stabilized his mind and rode out.Outside the city is a plain without hills, which is not conducive to concealment, and the flames of several camps in Langya can be seen in the distance.They didn't dare to walk fast, lest the sound of horseshoes would alarm the Spike Patrolmen, but if they walked slowly, they couldn't catch up with the gap, and they would be easily spotted.Li Jin carefully controlled the horse, and quietly led the people out to the northeast.The individual spies sent earlier to investigate the nearby situation have already inquired clearly about the intervals between the Spike Army's patrols in the past few days.The night is so dark that it is difficult to distinguish, and it is too difficult to accurately grasp the time and distance.

A group of people went around in the northeast direction. They were very lucky and never encountered the patrolling Spikes along the way.There are some small mounds on the west side of the Langya camp, which can be temporarily hidden.Li Jin waved his hand to make the people behind stop, and the cavalry around him issued a whistle, and the team quickly and silently broke up behind the mound and divided into three teams. The two teams went to the northwest and southeast respectively. Food and grass must be investigated separately.Li Jin tightened the reins, restrained the agitated horse, pointed his spear, and the people beside him quickly changed their formation and dispersed.Behind this small mound is also the route of the Spike Patrol, so they can't stay for too long.Li Jin rode his horse forward and led the people to the northeast from the opposite direction.The Wolf Fang Grain and Grass Camp can already be clearly seen here.Food and grass are important, but no matter how heavily guarded they are, there are still more people than those deep in the camp.Although it is right next to the camp, it will take some time for the army to come to rescue if any abnormalities are found.This time is very short, but if you make good use of it, it is enough.Li Jin made a gesture, and the people around him rode their horses to disperse silently.They can't get too close, but here is enough to estimate the amount of food and grass for the Wolf Fang Army.

"Boss, take a look," Xu Shengbin leaned over and whispered in Li Jin's ear, "over there...look over there, yes, that's not a grain and grass camp, it's a supply camp. The ox carts transporting grain and grass , and the cattle and horses raised in the army are all over there..."

Li Jin tightened the reins.In order to prevent the horses from making noises, the muzzles and noses of all the war horses were hooped by iron hoops, and they could only snort.The moon hides behind the drifting black clouds and casts a dim light.There were sporadic figures walking around in the camp opposite, and torches were burning everywhere.

"Have you estimated the rest of the food and grass clearly?"

"Approximately."

"Then go quickly." Li Jin turned his horse and turned half of his body, lowered his voice, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, but he felt sticky and cold sweat dripping from the back of his heart, "I can't stay here forever, count the time, It's time for the two teams to investigate and go back. There has been no movement so far, so it should be fine. Let's go."

As he spoke, he turned the horse's head, Xu Shengbin followed behind, and was about to gather the surrounding soldiers and leave when he heard a shout not far from the northeast, followed by the sound of fighting and fighting.Almost at the same time, the nearby Wolf Fang Grain Battalion and Supplies Battalion immediately heard the sound, and there was a commotion from each of them.

Li Jin's expression changed all of a sudden, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the northeast.It was already too late, the people on the northeast side ran into a group of Spike soldiers who somehow turned back halfway.The speed of the two teams was astonishingly fast, they had engaged in battle almost instantly, and the sound of fighting rose immediately.As soon as Li Jin saw the incident, he turned around and swung his horse's head. A spiked cavalry in front of him was shot down by him just as he was approaching.There was a commotion from the surrounding people, and the barking of the Spike Army's war horses soon caused the camps farther away to make various noises.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jin let go of the reins and kicked the horse's belly. Xu Shengbin saw that he didn't look back, but ran towards the direction of the supply camp. People come here, don't love to fight——don't love to fight!"
