auspicious time has come

Chapter 17 Xuanyi
"Long Jin...then how do we deal with it?"

"Ask me, who am I going to ask!" Xuanpu cursed, gritted his teeth and said, "Stay safe! If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move!"

The golden crow falls to the west, and the last twilight disappears after passing over the Xixia Stone Valley like a tulle, and the color between the sky and the earth suddenly darkens.

The howling of wolves echoed in the mountains, the moon was covered by black clouds, and the cold wind howled.

Hulun City is backed by the Xihong River, and this natural moat is like a barrier, which cannot be crossed by people, and firmly protects the land behind Hulun City.

It is precisely because of this that when the army is pressing down on the border, the defense here is the weakest.

Above the sentry tower, the Khitan soldiers looked at the surging river surging like beasts in the night, and thought of Lu Longjun outside the main city gate, becoming more and more restless.

At this time, above the black and boundless Xihong River, dots of light suddenly appeared.

"Then... what is that?" The Khitan soldier felt dazzled.

Another soldier also looked over.

"Like a flame!"

"Quick, let go of the arrows!"

They haven't figured out what kind of "monster" it is, but their instincts have told them that unknown is dangerous!

"Shhhhhh!"

Cold arrows flew towards the place of fire like rain.

At this time, there was a strong night wind, especially above the river, and the fear in the soldiers' hearts when shooting arrows, most of the arrows fell into the river.

What surprised them even more was that those "flames" knew how to dodge!

Surprised, as the distance approached, I saw those unknown objects spread their wings like nighthawks under the light of the fire, and on top of them...

"It's human!"

"There's someone up there!"

The Khitan soldiers were terrified, they didn't have time to think about how these people could "fly" across the Xihong River, they immediately sounded their horns to warn the city.

However, before he could move, he was stabbed from behind!

Those "people" had already arrived in front of them, and they neatly folded the clever wings tied to their bodies behind their backs. When they landed, they all moved quickly, and within a few breaths, they cleared up those sentinels.

"Enter the city—" The young man in black led immediately gave the order.

This voice fell on everyone's ears like a divine voice, making the well-trained group even more at ease.

A group of people entered the city from their backs, and the leader carefully avoided the city's defenses along the way, according to the defense plan that he had memorized in his mind, and came to the place where food, grass and military supplies were stored in the city.

After half a stick of incense, as two Khitan soldiers guarding the camp fell to the ground, flames burst out from the southeast corner of the grain and grass.

"Not good! It's out of water!"

"Quick, put out the fire!"

However, with the help of kerosene and night wind, the speed at which the fire spread was far beyond human control.

Tongues of flames swallowed quickly in the night wind, and soon turned the surroundings into a sea of ​​flames.

"General, it's done!" The eyes of the man in black hiding in the dark were brightened by the fire.

"General, let's retreat quickly—" Xiao Mu's young lieutenant Wang Jingyong said in a low voice.

After Xuanpu heard the news, he would definitely bring soldiers over soon, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape if there were too many people.

"No hurry." Xiao Mu glanced at the fire.

"Yes."

Everyone waited intently, and even if there were those who didn't understand, they all obeyed with peace of mind.

The general has a reason for doing what he does—

"It must be Lu Longjun who sneaked into the city! Search for me! The entire city is under martial law, and their corpses must be caught!" Looking at the fire in front of him, Xuanpu's eyes were about to burst: "Try to save the food and grass!"

"Tang Jin, the north wind is blowing tonight, they have already planned to attack the east and the west, and the inside and the outside should cooperate! At this time, the city is in chaos, and the army's morale is in turmoil. Lu Long's army will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack the city!"

"That's right... This Xiao Mu has always been insidious!" Xuanpu was in a state of confusion, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said in a hateful voice: "I will fight him tonight! Even if it is death, I have to cut off his neck It's impossible to get on the head!"

There was chaos and noise for putting out the fire, and the soldiers who searched for the trace of the person who set the fire walked through.Xiao Mu glanced at the rising smoke and the half of the sky that was scorched red by the fire, and said, "It's time—"

Seeing his gesture, the group immediately ignited the kerosene and unfolded the wings.

The black wings they used not only needed wind power, but also kerosene fuel as support, which was undoubtedly conspicuous in the dark night, because they chose to cross the river from the back of Hulun City——

But at this time, everyone just realized what their general's intention was. Thick smoke and flames shot up to the sky, which was the most convenient way to deceive people's eyes and ears.

After all, no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as the arrows in the hands of the Khitans. Once they are discovered, they are really hard to escape.

The fire burned all night before it was barely extinguished, and the city was covered with a thick layer of fog, which even the rising sun could not disperse.

But to the surprise of Xuanpu and others, Xiao Mu's army outside the city still had no tendency to attack.

"Damn it!" Xuanpu, who didn't dare to close his eyes all day and night, was going crazy: "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd surnamed Xiao!"

The soldiers approached the city and burned their food and grass, but they just stayed outside the city... This is even more difficult than directly fighting in!
However, what soon reached his ears was a more tormenting news——

In front of the formation of the two armies, a young general wearing black armor and sitting on a horse appeared in the sight of the Khitan soldiers.

He has a calm demeanor, clear eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and when he sits on the horse and looks down at the enemy slightly, the two are fused in him without any contradiction.

"Yes...it's Xiao Mu!"

He didn't say a word, but it caused the Khitan soldiers to panic.

Wang Jingyong, who followed Xiao Mu, drew out the long knife at his waist, raised the knife and shouted: "Three days are the limit, hand over Xuanpu, and surrender the troops without killing!"

This sound was deafening, as if through the surprised eyes of the Khitan soldiers, it spread throughout the entire Hulun City.

Three days.

The food and grass saved from the fire was just enough to last for three days!

When people were panicking, the eight words "Hand over the whirlpool, and those who surrender will not be killed" echoed repeatedly in the minds of every Khitan soldier.

"This is nothing more than a divorce plot by the surname Xiao! I know the Wandan tribe, and I can't tolerate traitors!" In the city, Xuanpu held a knife, full of murderous aura: "Those who are not afraid of death, and those who are not afraid of God's punishment, just come here!"

Prairie people have faith.

But at the moment of life and death, everything is unpredictable.

Xuanpu showed no fear on his face, but in reality he was in chaos.

He put the residence under martial law, leaving only his confidantes by his side, looking at the food and drink served in front of him, he felt no appetite—the surname Xiao had turned him into this plate of barbecue on this plate, and everyone wanted to take a bite!
……

Three days later, in the Lulong military camp dozens of miles away from Hulun City, Wang Jingyong personally brought the food and wine: "General, your favorite Qianqiuzui—"

A young man in military armor with a Buddhist bead hanging around his neck stretched out his hand to stop him, his long and narrow phoenix eyes curved, and said, "You big fool, don't you know that military doctor Yan won't let the general drink?"

As he spoke, he lifted the jug and smiled at Wang Jingyong, "Thank you—"

Wang Jingyong frowned: "You can't leave your body with wine, what kind of a monk is that?"

Yin Hai smiled meaninglessly: "The Buddha's voice is in my heart, so naturally I don't have to worry about these mundane affairs."

After that, he took a sip and said with a tusk: "The general can eat such strong wine..."

Closing his eyes and resting his mind, Xiao Mu ignored the two of them, and only asked, "It's only been half a day, let me keep an eye on—"
