The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 224 An inexplicable and strange attack

Huang Biao laughed: "Does the girl look down on us or something? Since we want wealth and wealth at risk, then I, Huang Biao, and my brothers will give it a try. Why should the girl say such things at the critical moment!"

Jingli picked up the wine and said, "I'm short-sighted. Brother Huang, don't blame me. Since everyone wants something, let's drink this wine together and beat him to a breaking point!"

Everyone raised their bowls, raised their heads and drank in one gulp.

On the eighth day of May, in the camp at the foot of Mount Lurihan, the generals were drinking wine, laughing and imagining the prosperity of Chang'an in the Central Plains.

The slightly tipsy night breeze blew gently, and those who drank the wine slept more soundly.

In the night, figures flashed across the camps like ghosts, and the soldiers on patrol felt that the wind seemed to smell of alcohol tonight.

Slowly, the smell of the wine began to make people feel something wrong, as if it had been mixed with something else. Before these people could react, several tents started to catch fire.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!" someone screamed one after another.

The soldiers who were sleeping soundly got up in a daze, put on their clothes hurriedly and went out. Then they heard someone shouting: "Line up! There is an enemy attack!"

The soldiers who suddenly woke up were even more panicked. Those who were in a hurry to find weapons and put on shoes were noisy and confused.

Seeing that the fire was getting fiercer, someone shouted again: "The enemy is coming!"

Panic instantly spread throughout the camp. In the panic, some people couldn't even tell the difference between friend and foe, and they started killing indiscriminately!

When Yelu Mengtu came out, there was already a chaos outside. Keno rode around shouting: "Everyone calm down, there are no enemy attacks, and there are no enemy troops!"

In the noisy military camp with thousands of people, Keno's voice was quickly drowned out, and the crowd was still in a panic.

Yelu Mengtu was so angry that his temples bulged: "We haven't even started a war yet. How can we go to the battlefield with such a mess of morals?"

Wulin Damo came over in a hurry: "Your Highness, this is not the time to be angry. Quickly raise the flag and ask the generals to recover their soldiers. If the chaos continues, I am afraid that deserters will take the opportunity to cause chaos."

"It's even more likely that a camp roar will occur, causing immeasurable consequences!"

When Yelu Mengtu heard the word "yingxiao", his expression suddenly changed. Under such circumstances, it was very possible for "yingxiao" to happen.

The army of the Liao Kingdom has always been decentralized. Most of the troops were led by tribes to surrender, and the discipline and organization were poor. There were various grievances and entanglements among the various departments, so that the chaos could not be calmed down for a while.

The chaos lasted until the fifth watch, and then the soldiers were reluctantly gathered together.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yelu Mengtu asked with uncontrollable anger, with two dark circles under his eyes.

Keno stepped forward and said cautiously: "It is said that some of the generals drank too much and accidentally set the fire on fire!"

Yelu Mengtu said sternly: "If the fire was accidentally lit, how could more than ten tents be burned down in a row?"

Keno hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. During the festival a few days ago, many people imitated the Han people and asked for wine during the festival, and today they gave away the remaining wine.

Several generals were drunk and couldn't explain why.

"Are there any casualties?"

Keno became more careful: "The number of people who were hacked to death, trampled to death by horses, burned to death, or trampled to death by others in the chaos was about two hundred people!"

"It's really ridiculous. An army of tens of thousands had never started a war, but for such an inexplicable reason, more than [-] troops were reduced. It's really a joke!" Yelumengtu took a breath and asked, "Where is Teacher Wulin?"

"Master Wu Lin is inspecting outside. He said that this matter is a bit strange. I'm afraid it's not as simple as a fire!" Keno bowed and replied.

Yelu Mengtu sat patiently in the main tent and waited for Wulin Damo. It was not until the sun rose that Wulin Damo came back with a solemn expression. "Your Highness, I am afraid that enemy troops really came last night!"

Wulin Damo's words startled Yelu Mengtu: "Who did it? Is it someone from Dafeng?"

"It's impossible to tell at this time, the horse's hooves disappeared five miles outside the camp!" Wulin Damo said slowly: "The tribes at the foot of Lurihan Mountain are all very likely, and the Mohubu and Keha who are a little further away are very likely. Ministry is also possible.”

Wulin Damo paused again when he said this: "But looking at the number and speed of this sneak attack, it shouldn't be something that these tribes can do!"

Yelu Mengtu sneered and said: "If it's not these tribes, it could be the Dafeng people. They come all the way to sneak attacks just to set fire to it. Is that the case?"

"If there is a large army coming, there is no way there will be no movement at all!"

Regarding this, Wulin Damo was also extremely doubtful. Where did the sneak attack come from?

In Yelanggou, Jingli patrolled around while Shen Huwei, Huang Biao and others took advantage of the day to sleep and recharge their batteries for another sneak attack at night.

Huan Yuan came over: "Girl, aren't you going to have a rest?"

Jingli stood high in the canyon and had a panoramic view of the beautiful grassland: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I've been sleeping for several hours!"

"Sir, what time do you think is the most appropriate time to launch a raid tonight?"

Huan Yuan also looked into the distance with Jin Li: "Tonight the Liao army will definitely step up their defenses and wait until the enemy is tired to move out. Yin time is the best!"

Jing Li nodded: "Yin Shi is good, let's come back before dawn."

The sun set its last rays and disappeared over the horizon of the grassland.

After Yelu Mengtu made some arrangements, he sat there until he saw no movement. He couldn't help but feel a little upset and said, "Are these troublemakers afraid to come tonight?"

Wulin Damo comforted him and said: "Your Highness, please be patient! The other party must be someone from the city government and will not be fooled so easily. Your Highness, please rest first and have your ministers guard you!"

Yelumengtu had no choice but to get up and go back to the camp to rest. Wulin Mo stayed in the main tent and continued reading.

It was not until the beginning of the Yin period that soldiers came to report: "Sir, there is movement in the east!"

Wulin Damo hurriedly got up and rushed outside the tent. He saw that Keno had led his men and horses there, and several generals were following him, shouting and shouting.

Wulin Damo wanted to call the people to stop him, but these people were too hot-blooded to stop him.

The entire military camp has been hoarding here for nearly a year and has not been able to start a war. It is inevitable that they will be upset and angry, and they want to go up and slaughter the opponent.

Wulin Damo instinctively felt that something was wrong, but at this time almost the entire military camp became noisy and swarmed to the east.

To the north, fire suddenly shot into the sky at Beishan, and Wulin Damo instantly realized that this was the enemy's plan to attack the east and attack the west.

"Quickly! The messenger! Send the order quickly, so that all the ministries do not get confused and don't all rush to one place!"

After a moment of panic, Yelu Mengtu also got up, his face livid with anger: "Is this going to end? It's like a rat, it's really annoying people to death!"

This time, before everything was cleaned up, it was already bright.

Keno checked and got it!No sign of the enemy was seen, and more than 100 people were lost due to various stampedes and chaos!
There were even rumors going around that His Highness was not the one chosen by the Gods, so he was punished by God, so that such an inexplicable incident happened, and it was not until Keno executed a group of people who spread the rumors that they could be put to rest.

In Yelanggou, Huan Yuan asked Jing Li with a smile: "Girl, are you going to continue tonight?"
