"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The big drums in the neat army formation sounded at the same time, and there was a shocking commotion. The soldiers guarding the first platform felt a little cold, but they couldn't hold back the excitement, and shouted in unison: "Oh!"

"Woo, woo!" Horns blew simultaneously on all the sentry towers in the Khitan camp.

Yeluiannu just took off his clothes and got into the warm fur bed. Hearing all the horns blowing, he immediately jumped up nervously and shouted to the outside: "Quickly report to the king, the enemy army is about to break through."

After finishing speaking, he quickly put on his clothes, picked up his big knife, and rushed out of the tent: "Bring me my war horse."

The Khitan barracks was seething with torches, horns, and screams.

The gathered cavalry came out of the camp first, holding torches in their hands, and came towards the mouth of the valley.

"Ha, boom boom! Haha, boom boom!"

Here at Zhongshujun, the soldiers in the front row yelled rhythmically, and they yelled in conjunction with the drumbeat, which was very enthusiastic.

Jia Shijun was even more valuable today. Looking at the formation of 10,000+ people on the opposite side, and looking at the soldiers having fun below, the complexity in his heart was indescribable.

Yelu Anu was called out with a displeased expression on his face that he stepped on dog shit. A cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero in winter night blew by. He closed his fur coat with a cardigan and looked at Yelu Anu displeased.

Yeluannu was stared at by him, and thought, don't blame me if you are unhappy, it's not me who woke you up by beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night.

"Ah!" Yelu Anqi sneezed, "What's going on?"

"Report to the king, the battle drums on the other side are frenzied, and the soldiers are shouting, it seems that they are going to gather." Yeluming replied quickly.

"Hmph!" Yelu Anqi let out a long breath, "Have you ever seen someone break through and wake up the enemy?"

His question left everyone speechless.

"If they want to run, can they outrun our cavalry?" Yelu Anqi asked again.

After he was about to go back, Yeluannu persuaded: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the enemy army is cunning?"

Yelu Anqi rolled his eyes at him: "Give him 5 people to guard here."

At the fourth watch, Shen Bai got up.

Go down from the platform one by one, walk to the third platform, and see something like a wooden stake erected by a soldier behind, and then build a shed with the help of the wooden stake.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Bai asked.

"Supervisor", Qianhu who is in charge here came over and said to Shen Bai: "There is a brother in our team who knows the climate on the grassland very well. He said that there will be three days of strong wind starting tomorrow, which is very accurate once every 19 years. .”

"Oh?" Shen Bai was surprised, although he found it unbelievable but he had to believe it, Jin Polang said that it was going to snow, and now the world has started to snow.

"Do you want to call him over?" Seeing that Shen Bai didn't speak, Qianhu asked in a low voice, feeling a little nervous.

"Call him." After Shen Bai finished speaking, he looked at the bottom, where the Khitan soldiers and horses were chaotic one by one. From the number of torches and the degree of holding them, it can be seen that they are very tired.

"Where's Jia Shijun?" Shen Bai asked.

Jia Shijun came running quickly, and Qianhu brought a dark and strong young man with him.

"You immediately organize [-] archers, go forward quietly, [-] shoot arrows, [-] defend, cross and retreat, if the enemy retreats, forget it, if they chase, bring them slowly, and notify the soldiers on the first platform to prepare to respond." Shen Bai Watching Jia Shijun give orders.

Jia Shijun took the order to summon the people and went. The sky was still gloomy at this time, but there was already a little light. The north was a bit early. If it wasn't for the heavy snowfall, it might have already been bright.

"Marshal Du, this is the brother I was talking about, Chen Xiaoran." Qian Hu said with admiration seeing that Shen Bai had easily arranged the sneak attack.

Shen Bai looked at Chen Xiaoran, who blushed slightly, and said nervously: "Du, Du Shuai!"

"Don't be nervous." Shen Bai replied in a gentle voice: "How do you know the weather?"

"My grandfather used to be from the Qin Tianjian, who was responsible for recording the weather. He said that when I was 19 years old, I was born with 'three days', and the wind was strong for three days."

"How do you remember the days so clearly?" Shen Bai asked.

"Tomorrow, just, happens to be my birthday." Chen Xiaoran said with her head down.

Shen Bai smiled, took a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to him: "Happy birthday!"

"Ah?" Chen Xiaoran looked at Shen Bai in puzzlement, and then at Qianhu.

"A present for your birthday." Shen Bai handed Peiyu to his hand, and Chen Xiaoran's hand was cold.

Shen Bai shook his hand, and then Qian Hu's: "I wear a cloak when I'm not working, and it's even more troublesome when I'm sick!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Qianhu returned loudly.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Chen Xiaoran said while holding the jade pendant.

Shen Bai patted his shoulder and left with a smile, continuing on to the front platform.

When they arrived at the first platform, there were already archers gathering one after another. Seeing that there were too many people, Shen Bai said to Jia Shizhong: "You lead 1 people to wait in the woods, and let Shizhong take 1 people to go. , Hurry up and go back, don't hand over hand in hand."

Upon hearing this, Jia Shizhong hurried to discuss with his brother.

Jia Shijun's 1 people were arranged, and they moved forward in a sneaky manner. Before reaching the Khitan White Wolf Rider, someone discovered it.

"Let go!" Jia Shijun roared, and there were three cannon shots in the team.

Bows and arrows don't have enough range, but artillery does.

The artillery blasted to the crowd was like a huge thunder, and the horses immediately became chaotic.

"Fire the arrow!" The archer seized the opportunity to shoot the arrow forward, and the enemy army was thrown into chaos.

"Come on!" The white wolf cavalry's eyes were red. Damn it, it was so hot after a night of freezing, and the breath from the horse's beard was frozen into ice balls.

Now they are still coming to attack, how can they have no fire.

But the reaction was slower than usual. The archers of the Zhongshu Army retreated after shooting, and the five thousand archers behind stood still, waiting to advance and retreat, and there was another storm.

After two rounds of shooting, [-] infantry rushed back to the mouth of the valley, a few white wolf cavalry had arrived, and there was another rain of arrows in the woods.

The two cannons on the first platform also fired at the same time.

"Shijun, why did you take the cannon away?" Shen Bai asked with peace of mind as he looked at the solid defense below.

"I see that they loaded the gunpowder, and a dozen people carried it." Daniel said beside him, he saw it just now, and thought it was Shen Bai's order.

"Hmph, this kid is crazy enough to fight wars!" Shen Bai was called 'handsome ghost', but he couldn't help but praise him.

The fight ahead was lively, but in fact it was mainly bow and arrow shooting. The White Wolf Army was of high quality, and the cavalry were all equipped with bows and arrows. Relying on the height of the horses, a burst of wild shots even shot down the people here.

Yeluannu was about to command the whole army to charge, when the sound of the Luming Horn came from the barracks, it was the horn of the White Wolf Army's retreat.

All the cavalry retreated unconsciously.

"Collect the arrows and drag the dead horse back." Shen Bai looked down and ordered.

Yeluannu followed the cavalry back to the camp, looked at Yeluanqi and asked, "Why did you withdraw the troops?"

"Can your [-] cavalrymen who are so cold that they can't move their legs be able to attack?" Yelu Anqi didn't explain a word, but replied him with a word.

"But they are too hateful, how can I swallow this breath!" Yeluannu roared.

"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it. I said don't keep it. You are stupid, and you are playing with the lives of Khitan warriors. Are you worthy of these children?" Yelu Anqi looked at him with his robes, not angry Asked.

The soldiers of the White Wolf Army lowered their heads one after another, and placed their hands in front of each other respectfully.

Yeluannu shook her lips, not daring to breathe.

On Shen Bai's side, he watched people drag more than twenty war horses back, as well as weapons and arrows shot out.

Even the clothes of the Khitan soldiers were stripped off. It was freezing cold, and there was nothing better than the leather jackets on them to keep out the cold.

The soldiers below divided the horse meat and went back. Today they can eat horse meat.But some soldiers came down in a hurry to look for Shen Bai.

"Commander, please go up quickly." The soldier said nervously.

Shen Bai took his people back and found a dozen of his war horses lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the horseshoes were still twitching.

"What's going on?" Shen Bai asked.

"Return to Dushuai, when the brothers were looking at the road in the back mountain, they found a lot of such dead vines, so they picked them to feed the horses. Who knew that the horses would become like this after eating them." Sima Jian said nervously.

"Call the military doctor to take a look, and then call Jin Polang and Jurchen soldiers to see if they recognize this plant?" Shen Bai picked up the Tengcao with withered brown flowers on it and said.

When Jin Polang arrived, the military doctor had checked the horse and smelled the white spittle from the horse: "Marshal Du, it's hopeless."

Shen Bai looked at Sima Jianzheng: "How many horses are like this?"

"About forty or so." Sima Jian was returning.

"Is this horse meat edible?" Shen Bai asked the military doctor.

"No internal organs and horse blood, everything else is fine." The military doctor replied.

"Kill the dead horses immediately, and freeze the excess ones." Shen Bai ordered, but did not punish Sima Jian to correct them.

"Can you recognize what this plant is?" In the handsome tent, Shen Bai asked Jin Polang.

Jin Polang took a closer look, said wait, then went out for a while, and brought in an old Jurchen soldier in his fifties.

The old sergeant took a look at the Tengcao, and replied with a changed expression, "This is Gastrodia sativa, which is highly poisonous. When it burns, it emits yellow smoke, and the smoke can also make people and animals faint from poisoning."

Because he was in a hurry, he spoke Jurchen words, and Jin Polang explained them one by one. After hearing this, Shen Bai sighed in surprise, "God help me too".

"You asked him how much range is useful, and what can be done to solve it." Shen Bai asked.

After Jin Polang asked, he said: "He said that wrapping hot urine and covering the face with a cloth can solve the problem. In addition, as long as you walk in the smoke area, you will faint, and the attack will be very fast."

"Okay, it's up to them to defeat the enemy this time. Do you know how many people know about this plant?" Shen Bai asked.

Jin Polang shook his head after asking: "This kind of plant can't grow, it grows on the shady mountain, and now it's very rare."

"Okay." Shen Bai nodded and told them to go down first.

The generals were summoned, and when they heard about this star grass, they immediately became interested, but they were puzzled by Shen Bai's order.

"Prepare four pairs of large white cloths, keep a bucket of horse blood, and arrange black clothes and black scarves for [-] sergeants," Shen Bai said.

For the prepared white cloth, Shen Bai brought a long wooden stick, wrapped the front end with a strip of cloth, and wrote a few words starting with 'pardon' on the white cloth.

Friends who don’t have ghost drawing symbols can try it. It seems simple but not easy to learn, but Shen Bai still drew a strange symbol mysteriously.

"What kind of commander is this?" Jia Shijun asked puzzled.

Jin Polang came over but his expression changed: "Shaman seal?"

Shen Bai smiled: "This is a spell, used to drive away evil spirits."

When he said something about me, everyone showed expressions of admiration.
