Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 144 Information!

Outside the Bazhou Pass.

The night is like a veil, shrouding the vicinity of Bazhou Pass. The sky is clear and cloudless. The moonlight is as bright as snow, and silk strands are falling on the walls of Bazhou Pass.

As night fell, the mountains and forests were shrouded in a gray mist, making the whole mountains and forests mysterious and unpredictable.

The autumn wind blowing gently from time to time, like a broom, gently sweeps away the mist on the mountain forest, revealing the yellowed leaves and the green pine forest.

In this mist, several black-clothed figures remained motionless. If you don't observe carefully, even if you stand beside them, you may not necessarily notice their existence.

"The defense of Bazhou seems to be much stronger than we imagined!" What Scout A said was not the official language of Tang Dynasty, but Tubo language, obviously the spy sent by Commander Suowang.

"Just looking at the guards is really strong, but my [-] Tubo army, there is no need to worry about the strength of the troops. Wait a minute and see if they have a windbreak outside the city. If the gate of Bazhouguan is not sealed, attack from Bazhouguan , It’s obviously a good way!” After Scout B said, the two continued to hide in a bush, only showing two eyes.

The bitter autumn wind was already a bit chilly, even though it made the two of them tremble all over, they still didn't make much movement.

At this time, two fast horses outside the Bazhou Pass galloped towards the Guanxi Gate.

"General Lian! General Zhao! Maozhou Customs Report!" One of them raised his head and shouted towards the city gate.

After a while, the city gate was slowly opened, and the two figures disappeared into the night.

At the same time, in the forest not far away, two bushes suddenly started to rustle.

"It seems that the city gate of Bazhou Pass has not been sealed. If we attack the west gate, we have a great chance of success!" Scout B nodded slightly while looking at Scout A and said.

And Scout A seemed to be fascinated by something, and continued to stare at the city wall of the Bazhou Guanxi Gate without moving, and did not hear Scout B's voice at all.

Scout B saw this, lightly punched Scout A, and then said, "What are you looking at? You didn't even hear what I said to you?"

"We won't attack Bazhou Pass in a short time. You don't have to be so concerned. We will explore again after Commander Suowang confirms it."

"Let's go back!"

After saying that, Scout B wanted to stand up, but Scout A held onto Scout B's arm tightly: "Wait!"

"Wait for me to take a closer look!"

Scout A remained calm and kept his eyes on the tower.

Scout B was a little confused by A's operation, frowned, and looked up the tower.

On every battlement in Bazhou Pass stood a night watchman, motionless, looking very majestic.

"Look! Those outposts seem to be a little different!" Scout A pointed to the battlements, and said in a somewhat hasty tone.

"What's the difference?" Scout B frowned, staring at it for a while, his eyes were a little sore.

"What's the difference! There are many people in Bazhou Pass, and the guards are stricter!"

Scout B let out a disdainful "tss", and teased with some sarcasm, "Aren't you afraid of those Tang pigs?"

Scout A turned his head and glared at B, and then said in a very stern tone: "You might as well go back and be a vanguard, how can you become a scout?"

"Where are the sentries on the city wall? They are obviously straw men."

"Look!"

After all, the eyes of the two locked on the city wall, and the scout armor stared at each other and said: "Look at those outposts, Tang Jun's armor has some imperceptible silver light, it is the brilliance of the moon, but every outpost On both sides of the post, there is no silver light above the heads of the sentinels."

"Moreover, many of them clearly don't look like armored sergeants, but rather like thin militiamen!"

"But it's more like a straw man! You have good eyes, and you are careful and quiet. Are you a straw man?"

After Scout A finished speaking, the two of them continued to inspect those straw men very seriously, until their eyes were a little numb.

And not long after, a few general-looking people on the city wall, holding torches, walked across the top of the city tower to meet the Tanma just now.

When the light of the torch passed by, Scout B frowned subconsciously, staring at the figure on the tower.

"It seems to be a straw man!"

As the torch passed by, one could vaguely see the heads of many sentinels among them, and there were traces of straw-like traces.

"Yes! I can confirm this time that these outposts are fake, and most of them are straw people!"

Scout B immediately looked at A with a solemn expression, their eyes were filled with a strange light, which was very permeating against the backdrop of the moonlight.

"Wait and see, when they change their guards, they will be more sure!" Scout A said, and the two continued to stare at the tower calmly until half an hour later, a group of sergeants passed by the top of the tower.

Scouts A and B beat each other at the same time, and they stared at the tower.

"really!"

"They didn't move!"

"It's a straw man!"

……

An hour later, it was almost midnight.

Inside the Tubo barracks.

"The scouts from Suizhou and Yazhou are back. Where are the two guys from Bazhou?" Suo Wang looked angrily at the gate of the barracks.

"Could it be that he was caught by Tang Jun's scouts? These two trash!"

Suo Wang sat on the side of the tent angrily.

And not long after, A and B were invited into the military tent.

Dan Bayang looked at the two guys whose clothes were soaked in dew with some contempt, and said sarcastically: "You two... are you lost? The scouts from Suizhou and Yazhou have already gone down to rest. Is it too late?"

"Back to the general!" The two of them almost ignored Dan Bayang, turned their heads to Suo Wang and knelt down on the ground and said: "I saw some important things at Bazhou Pass, so I wasted a lot of time."

……

The two sang together, and carefully described what they had just seen outside the Bazhou Pass to Commander Suo Wang.

After hearing this, Suo Wang's eyes widened like a bull's-eye, and he was a little speechless in horror: "Is what you two said true?"

Scout A quickly responded: "Of course we dare not speak in vain. I and B waited until late at night. When the guards were changed, we were even more sure that those sentries were straw men, and the west gate was not blocked. There was also a Maozhou explored the horses and entered the city, presumably to report today's battle situation."

Suo Wang immediately twitched the braided beard at the corner of his mouth, frowning and paced back and forth in the military tent with a very gloomy expression.

While walking, Puwang suddenly frowned, stepped forward and said, "Commander Suowang, I will think that the cause of this matter originated from Maozhou."

"I don't know if Commander Suowang still remembers. General Danbayang said that when he fought Maozhou Pass for the first time, Maozhou Pass suffered heavy losses, with only 1 people left. Therefore, we rushed to attack Maozhou Pass regardless of the consequences, but When attacking tonight, does Commander Suo Wang have an estimate?"

"Obviously, there are definitely more than [-] Guan troops in Maozhou. If there are thousands more troops, we might not be able to tell, but tonight, there are obviously more than a few thousand troops!"

As soon as Puwang finished speaking, Suo Wang suddenly stopped, turned his head like a bear, and asked with a fierce look in his eyes, "Could it be that..."
