Chapter 534 Sirius Night Attack
"Okay, let's call in another hundred cavalry."
To be on the safe side, Xiao Tiansheng said to the people on the side. The man responded and turned the horse's head.
Not everything in the Tang Dynasty is prosperous. The southwest is mostly mountainous and relatively desolate. It is difficult to see human habitation for dozens of miles, but the scenery is indeed unique. After three consecutive days, Lin Xiaofan was still not tired of looking at it.
The setting sun slowly sets, covering the mountains with a layer of golden gauze. The distant mountains are like sleeping giants, their outlines looming in the afterglow of the setting sun. The river at the foot of the mountains glows faintly under the reflection of the setting sun.
"Brother Lin, we can go to the city tomorrow. Then, let's have a good night's rest."
Xiao Tiansheng knocked on Lin Xiaofan's car window, and Lin Xiaofan also stepped out of the car, preparing to set up camp.
"Great!"
When Duanmu Ke'er heard the news, he jumped down from the carriage. She originally thought it would be fun to follow him, but as a result, she spent more than ten days in a carriage, which really made her feel bored.
Especially these two days, although the scenery was nice, she was getting tired of sleeping in the wild every day. Wait until tomorrow, and finally get to see the city of Datang.
"it is good."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, set up camp, lit a fire, and boiled water, everything went on in an orderly manner. The cold wind blew out the bonfire several times, adding to the trouble.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a dark red sky.
"The weather this year is really bad."
Xiao Tiansheng couldn't help but complain, and a cold wind blew again, extinguishing the bonfire.
"That's all, let's rest early tonight."
Xiao Tiansheng thought for a while and said.
The tents were all thickened, and the wind was howling outside, but it couldn't get in at all, and Lin Xiaofan also fell into a deep sleep. I don't know how much time had passed before Xiao Tiansheng suddenly got into the camp.
"Brother Lin, wake up quickly!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan sat up immediately. Xiao Tiansheng called him in the middle of the night. It was definitely because of something. He picked up the repeating crossbow next to him and heard the roar of the beast.
"Brother Lin, look over there."
Xiao Tiansheng pointed to a mountain. There were a few fires flickering, and it looked like someone was walking.
"Maybe the locals went out and were delayed. Are they ready to go home?"
Lin Xiaofan asked with some confusion.
"No, look here."
Xiao Tiansheng pointed to the side, and he could faintly see some green dots, coming quickly from there.
"Is this a wolf pack?"
When Lin Xiaofan saw this, he couldn't help but think. This wolf pack was very large, there seemed to be at least seventy or eighty of them, but they came down from the mountain quickly, as if they had encountered something that frightened them.
To keep the wolves away, there must be at least a hundred people on the mountain, so why are there only so many scattered sparks?
Everything seemed suspicious.
"I sent people there, and there will be results soon."
Xiao Tiansheng breathed out, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, two black figures clung to the ground and ran over quickly.
"General, there is an army above. The night is too dark, I can't see clearly, but there are at least a thousand people, flying the flag of the Luo Family Army, but their whereabouts are very suspicious."
A soldier spoke up to report.
"Luo Jiajun?"
Xiao Tiansheng frowned. There was only one Zhang Jiajun in the entire Tang Dynasty, and that was Luo Tianbang, the general who guarded the capital.
"Impossible, I have been in the capital before this trip, and General Luo's Luo Family Army has never moved."
Xiao Tiansheng shook his head.
"Indeed, why would soldiers of the Tang Dynasty travel in the Tang Dynasty secretly in the middle of the night and only light a few torches?"
Lin Xiaofan also spoke.
As the two looked at each other, there was already speculation in their minds.
To the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, there is a rainforest that stretches thousands of miles. There are countless venomous snakes and beasts in it, which are impossible for ordinary people to pass through.
And this rainforest also separated the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom from the Tang Kingdom.
Eighty percent of this army was sent by the Sirius Kingdom.
"Hide first."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and everyone hid in a forest.
A long time passed, and it wasn't until he was sure that the army on the mountain was far away that he poked his head out.
"Zhang Wei, take two brothers and rush to the nearest city to report. Then go to Chang'an and report the matter to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."
"promise!"
Three people walked out of the many guards and rode away.
"Brother Lin, this matter is of great importance."
Xiao Tiansheng breathed out slowly, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
"My mission on this trip is to bring you to Chang'an intact. But..."
"Brother Xiao, there is no need to say more."
Lin Xiaofan interrupted and then said:
"Let's handle this together first."
If the Tang Dynasty suffers heavy losses, it will be a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty is destroyed.
Moreover, Daqian and the Sirius Kingdom are enemies. No matter what the Sirius Kingdom wants to do, he will not let the other party succeed easily.
"Thank you very much, Brother Lin. After the matter is completed, Datang will definitely not forget Brother Lin's help."
When Xiao Tiansheng heard Lin Xiaofan's answer, his eyes lit up and he bowed.
"No need to say thank you, let's talk about the current situation first."
Lin Xiaofan quickly stopped.
"There is a rainforest in the southwestern part of the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult for the Sirius Kingdom to come over. There is also a city outside the rainforest with thousands of defenders stationed. Many of them patrol the edge of the rainforest. Once anything unusual is discovered, they will immediately report."
"But such a sneaky move by the Sirius army must have not been discovered. The closest place to here in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty is Fancheng. Fancheng has not been in war for many years and has weak defenses. It is estimated that there is almost no defensive awareness and there are not many defenders. This one The Sirius Kingdom’s army probably won’t be able to defend it.”
"After Fancheng, two cities further away is Chang'an."
Once the Sirius Kingdom finds a way through the rainforest, it can send a steady stream of troops over. When the time comes to stabilize the position in Fancheng, Datang will be under control at all times.
"But for us people, going to intercept them directly is like hitting an egg with a stone. We can't stand it even if we go to Iwaki."
"Let's speed up and take a long way to the front of the Sirius army to check for any ambush."
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and said.
On this trip, he brought some Lei Zhenzi with him, and all the guards were equipped with continuous crossbows. Find a mountain road and prepare an ambush to destroy some of the Sirius Kingdom's troops.
"As long as the ambush is successful, at least hundreds of people from the Sirius Kingdom can be killed. And if the Sirius Kingdom's army knows that they have been discovered, they might turn back the way they came."
Lin Xiaofan touched the beard on his chin with his hand and analyzed it carefully.
As long as they can take advantage of the terrain to ambush, they can ensure safety while delaying the enemy's speed.
If the opposing general is afraid, he may lead his troops back directly.
"The Way of the Heavenly Book!"
One of Xiao Tiansheng's personal guards said.
"General, my home is in the southeast, and I am quite familiar with the roads here."
"Fifty kilometers ahead, you will reach Tianshu Ridge. There are mountains everywhere and can only be crossed through Tianshu Road."
"The Heavenly Book Road is very steep and the road is very narrow. If we hold it there, it will be almost impossible to capture it."
"Of course, other paths can also be taken, but the speed will be two days slower. If the opponent wants to make a sneak attack, they will definitely speed up. There is a high possibility of taking the Heavenly Book Path."
