48 Chapter 48
The night was getting deeper, and even the birds and insects were gone.
The Yellow Turbans camped in front of a forest not far away, with a small river on the right. It is the source of water in Qian County, and it is also one of the tributaries of the Yellow River from top to bottom.
However, this river does not pass through the city of Qianjun, and it is not a big city, and there is no water diversion to build a moat, so it is unrealistic to want to attack the city with this. And the yellow turbans are all people, exaggerated to say that they are a rabble, they don't know anything about water warfare at all, and if they want to break through from here, it's just a dream.
Although there are no high-ranking people among the yellow turbans, and the camp tent is not in order, but you can't rely on the forest too close to avoid enemy fire, and it is more convenient to wash and bury the pot for cooking near the water source, etc., these common senses are still there. At least if Fang Xia's side was attacked, the Yellow Turban would be able to successfully break out the barrier before it burned them, making this plan fall short.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban is fighting guerrilla warfare, although the entire Central Plains is not too big, but it is not small, there are dozens of cities, if they can't be attacked here, they can completely change places, or even break into pieces, and go to a certain mountain to be a bandit and grass robber, and there is a forest missing here in Qian County, then it will not be made up for a while.
The yellow turbans are about to run out of food, forcing Guan Hai to make such a dangerous move, even if he sets fire, at most he will only burn the camp tent, and it will not hurt. These things can be made by cutting trees on the spot.
There is no great benefit in burning, and it is more likely that the grass and snakes will not be burned, and they will not even burn it, so this strategy has been abandoned by them a long time ago.
This time, neither Guo Jia nor Fang Xia thought about fire attack. The strategy of exhausting the army is actually very simple, and there is no need to attack with fire.
Liang Xi quietly crawled on the hillside, from top to bottom, looking at the dotted torches below.
It was already halfway through the hour, almost ten o'clock in the evening, but the Yellow Turban patrol had become less manned. Although Guan Hai arranged for people to be on duty to search for the camp, these Yellow Turban soldiers have always been undisciplined and scattered, and they have not eaten enough, so they are naturally physically and mentally exhausted, and some people start to be lazy when they are not noticeable.
Because in addition to Guan Hai, especially Zhou Cang and other generals in the Yellow Turbans, they all felt that the people who accepted it did not know who it was, and they were so timid, they didn't look like Xu Chu, and they were frightened by them, maybe it was Xu Jing? With Xu Jing's courage, they felt that Qian County would never dare to come.
However, in order to prevent accidents, Guan Hai forcibly sent a lot of people to patrol on the grounds that he was the leader and had the final say. However, the discipline of the yellow scarves is not strict, and they may be villagers with each other, plus the people above except for the coach Guan Hai, the attitude of the others is very clear, one eye is closed, and under each other's protection, in the end, the remaining patrol people are less than one-third of the original.
Liang Xi saw it in his eyes, and he felt more confident in his heart, but in order to avoid his subordinates being impetuous, he was too complacent, and his face naturally did not show it.
When Liang Xi took people out of the city, it was only halfway through, about eight o'clock, and now almost two hours have passed, and these people can't stay anymore and make a small commotion.
The soldiers under his command are all elite soldiers out of five, but Kong Xuan's ability is limited, even if he has been picked, it is stronger than the Yellow Turban, and the discipline is not too good, at least the order and prohibition can't be done. Therefore, Liang Xi is lying down, but it is impossible for them to stay.
Ordinary people attack at night, rarely in the first half of the night, and generally in the second half of the night. Usually the third watch cooks, about one to three o'clock in the morning to get up to cook, and then one to two hours pass, the fourth watch starts the camp, the fifth watch sets off, the time is very ink, and when you arrive at the enemy camp, it is almost six or seven o'clock, and the sky is already bright. Because if it was too early, the movement of cooking could not be hidden, and it would be impossible to attack.
Therefore, when Fang Xia and Guo Jia discussed, and when Guo Jia and Liang Xi exchanged opinions, they discussed it back and forth, and they decided to go the opposite way, not in the second half of the night, but from the first half of the night, to harass the yellow scarf many times. After such a night, the yellow turban must be exhausted, and it will not be able to attack the city during the day.
This step is done, the city cannot be attacked, and the rations required by the soldiers cannot be provided, the military spirit must be floating, at this time, go to Fang Xia to visit Liu Pi, and let the former Yellow Turban general go to catch up with Guan Hai, in this way, under the floating military heart, even if they don't need to do anything, Guan Hai will have to be anxious.
However, in this way, Liu Bi will be a little dangerous. Although he used to be a Yellow Turban general, he had no friendship with Guan Hai, and Guan Hai was so anxious that he wouldn't take care of it.
In such a situation, the yellow scarf is at its peak, and maybe it can really make a contribution.
When Fang Xia discussed with Guo Jia yesterday, he also thought of this question.
After Guo Jia heard this, his eyes were faint, as if there was an endless night sky, and he smiled: "That's what I said, what should I do in the opinion of the lord?"
His face was originally extremely pale, but when he laughed, he was even a little more angry, as if it contained a thrilling power that was enough to change the world. This kind of power even soothed the undetectable anxiety and uneasiness in Fang Xia's heart, she didn't trust herself, but at this time, she trusted Guo Jia incomparably.
As if in this world,
There was nothing he couldn't do.
Except, of course, death.
Fang Xia suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little hard.
Faced with such Guo Jia, she suddenly didn't know what time to speak. And she really couldn't do it better.
Guo Jia said: "Then, Jia will go in person tomorrow, I don't know what will happen to the Lord's will?"
"No!" Fang Xia said reflexively.
Guo Jia had a smile on his face, he stopped talking, and waited for Fang Xia to speak, his eyes clearly reflected Fang Xia's silhouette.
Fang Xia said: "Let's ask Lord Liu Pi." ”
Guo Jia said: "The lord is relieved now?"
Fang Xia sighed and said, "Feng Xiao can't have an accident. ”
Her words are still not thorough, but it is already obvious to a smart person like Guo Jia when she talks about this step.
For Fang Xia, she only met Liu Bi for the first time, without the slightest emotion, and visiting him was just for work, Liu Bi might have an accident, as her boss, it was natural for her to worry about her subordinates, but if Guo Jia and Liu Bi had to choose one or the other, Fang Xia would hardly hesitate.
Liu Pi is just likely to be in danger, not certain to death, and even the possibility of Guan Hai doing it is not great, although most of the Yellow Turban Army are ordinary people with no culture, but Guan Hai is still a relatively restrained general, not the kind of coarse person who doesn't know a single word, most of the time he is reasonable.
Guo Jia was even stunned for a moment, and then a smile that couldn't be dissolved came out of his face, this smile overflowed his eyes, and then he gave an eviction order, telling Fang Xia to go to sleep quickly.
Therefore, after Liang Xi discussed with Guo Jia, he planned to prepare to start at the end of the time.
In order to avoid going out of the city too late, he will be on call in the field for an hour.
It's almost time now.
Liang Xi ordered: "Be quiet! Don't forget the military order!"
After a burst of bullet pressure, it gradually calmed down.
They were some distance away, so the sleeping Yellow Turbans didn't notice it.
Liang Xi instructed: "According to what I told before, start acting in a moment. ”
Guan Hai sat in the tent, his face was slightly impatient, and his heart was full of sorrow.
A penny is difficult for a hero, although Guan Hai is not short of money now, but tomorrow's rations are not available. This made him not feel sleepy at all. As a coach, he is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, and what the soldiers eat, he eats, but even so, it cannot solve the problem of food.
As a result, he couldn't sleep at all.
Moreover, Guan Hai always had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart, feeling that something would happen.
But now, even Zhou Cang has fallen asleep, and the siege of the city during the day has consumed a lot of vitality, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.
Guan Hai sighed, and finally lay down in the tent, intending to sleep.
If he doesn't sleep, he can conjure food, and he can stay blind-eyed for three days and three nights, but this is impossible.
Just when he was in a daze, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Guan Hai woke up suddenly, and heard someone shouting: "Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
Grabbing the weapon casually, Guan Hai didn't take off his clothes at all, so he jumped up and walked out of the tent, several of his personal guards, including Zhou Cang, had already arrived, and said in unison: "Qu Shuai!"
Guan Hai looked around, only to see the deafening sound of drums, as if in his ears, some Yellow Turban soldiers woke up, frightened everywhere, as if they were bombing the camp. On the side of the camp near the forest, some smoke rose and the enemy seemed to be attacking with fire, but the shouts of killing were heavy, and the sound of weapons clashing was very rare, and it was not known where the enemy was.
But looking at this posture, there are definitely a lot of people who steal the camp. At this time, Guan Hai was angry that those spies were eating rice, and he was also thinking about where the scouts patrolling the camp went.
"Yuanfu," Guan Hai said to Zhou Cang, "I'll leave it over to you over there, I'll go here." ”
"Qu Shuai rest assured!" Zhou Cang nodded.
The two split up and went to appease the soldiers who bombed the camp.
Because Guan Hai had a very loud voice and had always had some prestige, after he walked around, he reluctantly calmed down the soldiers who bombed the camp.
But at this time, Guan Hai suddenly found that until he gathered his soldiers, he didn't see even a single enemy soldier. 166 Reading Network
