Chapter 169: One set fire, the other killed people, a perfect match!
"Night attack?" General Song asked, "How many soldiers are you bringing?"
Su Yueqing counted on her fingers, "Five."
She originally wanted to bring her master and the others along, but she suddenly remembered that her master and the others were still lying in ambush outside the city.
Ye Xingzhou and his group who were in ambush said that the Dongli army still looked powerful and had not suffered many casualties. They only had so many people and did not dare to take action.
Before leaving, Qingqing told them to take action when they saw fireworks being set off in the sky.
But the day was almost over and they still didn't see the fireworks.
But if Qingqing really set off fireworks, looking at Dongli's lineup, they would probably be able to escape after shooting two arrows.
The gap in strength is too great, and we really can’t win.
Su Yueqing asking his master and others to ambush outside the city was only one aspect.
If the Dongli army had not been fooled by her into withdrawing and had fought a tough battle, then Master and the others would have been able to ambush them at that time.
On the other hand, the main thing is to observe the retreat route and camp of the Dongli army in preparation for tonight's night attack.
If the night attack is successful tonight, it can at least delay Dongli for two or three days.
These two or three days should be enough for her to find some tigers.
Luochuan City is located by the mountains and rivers, with Baihu Mountain next to it.
At the same time, Xiao Mochen's voice sounded, "One."
I originally wanted to bring two people, but Qingyang hasn’t come back yet, so I can only take Qingyun with me.
But it doesn't matter, the two of them are enough.
General Song's mouth twitched. Is this a night raid? Are we going to see what they had for dinner?
"Are you sure you're bringing so many people for a night attack? Not just for a stroll?" General Song said quietly.
As an old guy, he can hardly keep up with the thinking of young people nowadays.
"To be precise, we're going to kill people." Xiao Mochen said.
"To be more precise, they were going to set a fire." Su Yueqing said at the same time.
General Song looked at Qingqing for a while, then at the prince. These two, one killed someone, and the other set a fire. They were truly a couple, with perfect tacit understanding.
As the sky was getting dark, General Song knew that these two people should have their own opinions and ideas.
The matter was kept secret, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, just go ahead and do whatever you want. Don't worry, I'll be in charge at the rear." Old General Song patted his thick chest, giving people a sense of security.
"Okay." Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen nodded at the same time.
Although General Song is old, he is still strong.
Xiao Mochen felt relieved knowing that he was in Luochuan City.
Today's battle is temporarily over. After sending people to guard the city gate, General Song personally led his troops to inspect the battle situation and treat the wounded.
After simple bandaging, these wounded will be sent to Guzhou City.
Of course, those wounded in Guzhou City, if they are only slightly injured, will return to Luochuan City to continue fighting after they recover.
This will form a relay race, so there will not be a sudden shortage of manpower.
Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen followed General Song down the city gate and headed in the opposite direction to discuss a night attack.
While walking on the road, Su Yueqing suddenly came close to Xiao Mochen's face and asked, "Husband, who are you going to kill?"
"Xiao Moyao?"
Xiao Mochen looked at Su Yueqing's face that suddenly came close to him, glanced around to see if there was anyone around, kissed her lightly, and said softly, "Qingqing is really smart."
"Then who does Qingqing want to set fire to?" Xiao Mochen also asked.
"Dongli elephant?"
Su Yueqing stood on tiptoe and pecked the other's lips gently, "My husband is also smart."
After being together for such a long time, two people can roughly understand what the other person wants to do with just a glance.
As the evening breeze blew by, Xiao Moyao raised his hand to smooth the strands of hair on Su Yueqing's forehead, gently wiping off the dried blood on it.
"Xiao Moyao has evil ambitions and never repents. Now he has betrayed his country and betrayed Bei Ming." Xiao Mochen said, "He deserves to die."
"Of course, assassinating Xiao Moyao is only one aspect of this night attack. The other aspect is to survey the enemy's troop strength and the terrain where they are stationed."
"Today is just the first battle. There will be many fierce battles in the future. If you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles." Xiao Mochen added.
Su Yueqing agreed and asked randomly, "Is it enough to bring only two people?"
Xiao Mochen nodded, "That's enough. Qingyun has followed me for a long time, and he fought like this in the past."
"Besides, there are many people around and it's not easy for people to notice us because there are only two of us."
Su Yueqing nodded, "Then my husband, please be careful. If there is any problem, call me at any time and I will help you."
Xiao Mochen rubbed Su Yueqing's head and smiled dotingly, "Qingqing, your husband is still very powerful."
"When you go to set a fire, you must be careful." Xiao Mochen warned: "If an accident occurs, safety is the most important thing."
"Great!"
The two of them were walking and talking when they happened to run into Jiang Biechen, Jun Yuansheng and Mu Chi.
Su Yueqing saw the three people coming towards her, her face lit up with joy, and she said, "Hey, you guys came just in time. I was just about to ask Bai Zhi and Bai Shao to call you over."
Jiang Biechen glanced at Su Yueqing and said quietly, "Qingqing really forgets her friends for the sake of beauty. As soon as she saw this guy, she left all of us behind."
"I woke up and went to call you for dinner, but your tent was empty. I thought you were kidnapped by someone who didn't care about your life, so I was about to grab some weapons to rescue you."
"As a result, after a round of searching, I found out that you had gone to the outer city of Luochuan early in the morning." Jiang Biechen said in a resentful tone, "Why didn't you tell me when something serious happened? My mission is to protect you."
"The battlefield is dangerous. What if you get hurt without me to protect you?"
Xiao Mochen silently continued, "I will protect you."
Jiang Biechen: You're ruining the atmosphere, get out!
Su Yueqing looked at Jiang Biechen who was feeling very aggrieved and said comfortingly, "Okay, okay, I just want you to have a good rest because I see you are working too hard."
"Besides, the Dongli army has already withdrawn today, so there will be no problem for the time being."
"It's just a temporary withdrawal. If we want the Dongli army to behave itself for a few days, we'll have to wait and see tonight." Su Yueqing's tone suddenly became serious.
Jun Yuansheng said at the side: "Dongli has used elephants. We can use fire attacks tonight. Elephants are afraid of fire. If they encounter open flames, they will flee in all directions."
"Of course, fire attacks can only be most effective at night."
Mu Chi glanced sideways at Jun Yuansheng. This woman really had no attachment to Dong Li at all.
He admired her ruthlessness and decisiveness.
Su Yueqing gave Jun Yuansheng a thumbs up, great minds think alike.
The purpose of her setting the fire was also to scare away the Dongli elephant.
In this way, Dongli people would need several days to look for the escaped elephant, which would buy her a lot of time to find the tiger.
Once she finds the tiger, it will be much easier for her to face the situation of fighting against the elephants in Dongli, and it will also reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.
"What Yuan Sheng said is right. Let's take action tonight." Su Yueqing said, "Bai Zhi and Bai Shao will be in one group, Yuan Sheng and Mu Chi will be in one group, and I will be in one group with my senior brother."
Hearing that Qingqing would be in the same group with him, Jiang Biechen was flattered, "Wow, Qingqing is going to abandon that guy and choose me!"
Su Yueqing shook her head decisively, "No, my husband has other things to do, otherwise you will have to form your own group."
"I will definitely go with my husband~" Su Yueqing expressed her love for Xiao Mochen without any hesitation.
Jiang Biechen pursed his lips and felt very disappointed.
Sure enough, love can make people lose their minds.
He is such an outstanding person, but Junior Sister chose to ignore him!
Su Yueqing looked at the already dark night, counted the number of people, including herself, six people had arrived, and said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's go!"
At this time, Qingyun received Xiao Mochen's order and came over.
"Let's set off too." Xiao Mochen looked at Qingyun and said.
So, Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen led two groups of people respectively, packed up a little and prepared to set off.
