Chapter 309: Surprise Attack

hill

At noon, the sentries were not armoured, and their weapons were placed on one side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In Daxu, or any dynasty and army, the cavalry sentry is the elite of each battalion, and the treatment is relatively generous, and the descendants will be rewarded when they die, and the only thing is that it is because of specialization, so it is difficult to be promoted-who do this work after you are promoted?

"No, there is smoke and dust there, there must be a large army, go and check it out. Wu Chang rode a few miles to inspect it, and when he looked from afar, he saw smoke and dust, threw away his dry food, and immediately stood up and said.

"Yes. The horsemen ran cautiously, and the four hooves of the horses were wrapped in strips of cloth so as not to be alarmed.

I saw that a large number of imperial army troops were marching, most of them were infantry, but there were sentinels patrolling, and from a distance, there were tens of thousands of people.

While probing, the Turquoise chief let out a low shout, "Stop." ”

Everyone stopped, tiptoed to look, only a hundred meters or so not far away, there were sentinels coming, there were about ten horses, most of them were paper armor with copper nails, one of them was leather armor, but it was the banner of the imperial court, and everyone gasped.

"Hurry back, go back and report the news. ”

The responsibility of the sentry is not to fight, but to report intelligence, this situation is obviously the arrival of the army, not to mention whether it can be killed or not, even if it has been killed, if there is a movement, it will immediately be encircled and suppressed.

The group pulled the horse and retreated, but unfortunately, the horse barked.

"Cavalry?" the sentry on the opposite side immediately noticed.

"It's a scout of the thief camp. The middle person had a murderous look in his eyes: "Kill it, you can't let it go." ”

"Yes!"

These cavalrymen drew their swords and pounced, while the Marquis of Jibei rode a sentry, pulled the reins and fled.

Big Tent

"Guogong, the imperial army has arrived, the scouts have sent a message, there are tens of thousands of people, burying pots and cooking, fireworks are soaring, and they must be the main force of the imperial court. Jibei Hou was reading the case file, and someone was in a hurry.

"What? here?" Jibei Hou stood up, paced a few steps in the big tent, his eyes were solemn, his expression looked a little melancholy, he asked the specific situation, he didn't speak for a moment, he sighed for a long time, sat down, and said: "It seems that bluffing can't scare Pei Ziyun, this imperial army is still here." ”

Shen Zhi said: "Guogong, or we take refuge temporarily?" Pei Ziyun is still thirty miles away, and it is too late for us to evacuate, otherwise we may fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides, although our morale is a little boosted now, but it is water without a source!"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Jibei paced a few steps and sighed: "It's late, I can't retreat, the army is slowly coming, but he is not rushing forward, he is forcing me to fight a decisive battle, but I still have to fight a decisive battle." ”

"Our army has now been canonized by King Lu, and the morale of our army is great, although it is a false fire, it can be used, and the grain and grass are also sufficient, and it can be used in a battle. ”

"If we retreat, morale will plummet, and it will be difficult to recover, and besides, our army has lost three counties, if we retreat to the state capital, we will immediately calmly mobilize and concentrate the imperial army, and the two counties outside will not be able to resist at all, and although the state city is strong, it has become an isolated city, how long can we defend?"

"If you want a decisive battle, then a decisive battle!" At this time, the Marquis of Jibei pulled out the long knife and stuck it on the table, and the handle of the knife kept trembling on the table: "Thirty miles is a day's schedule, and the order will go down, and the cattle, sheep and pigs will be killed tonight, and the whole army will be full of meat, replenish physical strength, and prepare for a big battle." ”

"Yes, Guogong. Shen Zhi listened and said loudly.

Camp and make a big tent

The sky was overcast, the clouds were thick, and the wind was blowing the leaves and weeds.

"Real person, it's going to rain. Chen Yong stood at the mouth of Pei Ziyun's big tent, looked at the sky and said, "In the future, the heavy rain will be difficult, and I am afraid it will be difficult to fight in a few days." ”

Under normal circumstances, very few armies fought in the rain, and this is no joke, in ancient times, there was a lack of medical care, and it could turn into typhoid fever and die in the rain.

Pei Ziyun came out of the big tent, saw that the sky was cloudy, and the sparse raindrops had fallen, looked at the sky, and laughed: "This rain really came in time." ”

"Hey, why did the real person say that?" Chen Yong asked.

Pei Ziyun raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and smiled: "After capturing Qibei City, I will prepare for today, it seems that it will come in handy." ”

"Boom" A flash of lightning suddenly fell in the sky, piercing the sky, and the rain was already heavy in the middle of the conversation, making the surrounding camp tents loud.

"Gather the cavalry battalion, I will surprise the camp of the Marquis of Jibei tonight. Pei Ziyun said coldly.

"Real person, isn't a thousand cavalry a little too much, even if you want to go, please go to the last general. Chen Yong hurriedly stopped and said.

I saw Pei Ziyun laughing: "I reported just now, I have come into contact with the cavalry of the thief army, but I have always been a battalion step by step, Jibei Hou will not think of my surprise attack, of course, there must be a normal camp defense, but I can't think of it - now it's only forty miles, I will set off immediately, you follow overnight, Jibei Hou will not retreat is the time of death, okay, you go and arrange it immediately, there is no need to say more." ”

Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Chen Yong was puzzled, but he didn't refute it, turned around and obeyed.

night

"Boom"

I saw the heavy rain pouring down, Pei Ziyun was followed by several Taoists, and there were more Taoist officials and guards around, the rainy sky fell, hitting the clothes, and this group of people galloped overnight.

"Real person, galloping overnight surprise attack, this Jibei Marquis scout will soon find out. The lieutenant who followed him said worriedly.

"I don't have time to go back if I know. Pei Ziyun said, the rain crackled down, and I saw several people suddenly come out, with vigorous figures, and stepped forward to salute: "See the master." ”

"How's it going?"

"According to the orders of the master, all the horsemen on this road have been cleared, and no one will notice it for at least an hour. ”

"Take me to the temple, this is my spiritual talisman for the day. Pei Ziyun took out a talisman and threw it over: "Proofread." ”

Several people took out the order talismans, put them together, and when they saw that the spiritual light was presented, they checked it correctly, and immediately said, "I'll take you there immediately." ”

After running for several miles, I saw that it was an abandoned temple, the broken temple was in tatters, the bricks and tiles were rotten, and the only surprising thing was that there was a mound of earth around the ruined temple.

Immediately after entering, there was a passage inside, and everyone present was surprised.

"Real person, what is this?" the captain asked in surprise.

Pei Ziyun said: "This is my secret order to dig that day, both armies listened to the people underground during the war, and they will find out when they dig, but if they dig in advance, the Marquis of Jibei will not know." ”

"This is my killer move, but it is to prepare in advance, the suitable camping place outside the city is actually in this category, and the retreat of Jibei Hou is fine, but he can stay, which gives me a chance. ”

"Come on, go in. ”

This tunnel is only two or three people can pass, a group of people went in and dived for a long time, and saw a wooden barrel inside, this is gunpowder, and someone nodded at the moment, lit the fuse, and desperately fled backwards, only listening to the firelight burning.
