Chapter 1048 The Wind
Two days later, at nightfall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In Wei Ying, on the huge wooden stargazing tower, the potter and Liu Ji stood side by side.
At this moment, the sky is cloudless and full of stars.
Liu Ji shook the feather fan like that, raised his head and looked up at the dark sky, silently stargazing without saying a word, his eyes flowing between the stars.
The potter stood behind him, did not speak, did not disturb Liu Ji's stargazing, and waited patiently.
"Just from those stars, you can predict the changes of wind and clouds, which is much more accurate than the weather forecasts of later generations, but the stars are not stars, but meteorological satellites are not ......"
The potter muttered in his heart, his eyes were also staring at the stars, and after looking at it for most of the day, his eyes were about to be blinded, but he still couldn't see why.
After a long while, Liu Ji finally let out a long breath, lowered his head, and raised his hand to rub his neck, which had become stiff due to the long time of leaning up.
"How, do you see anything famous?" Only then did the potter ask.
Liu Ji rubbed his neck and nodded and said, "The minister has already seen it, three hours later, in the early hours of the morning...... At the time, there will be a strong north wind...... Masterpiece. ”
"Are you sure?" The potter's spirits were uplifted.
Liu Ji smiled confidently and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty can remember, did the minister miss the celestial phenomena once?" ”
Liu Ji's self-confidence and calmness gave the potter greater confidence, he smiled heartily, and there was no doubt in his eyes, only resolute trust.
At that moment, as soon as the potter held on to the barrage, he suddenly jumped directly from the stargazing platform and fell to the ground with a bang.
Wei Chigong, who was bored below, was shocked by the potter's cold jump, and even the bun he was gnawing in his hand was so shocked that he fell down.
"Your Majesty, you want to scare me to death, you wasted a steamed bun in vain, but you said that it's shameful to waste food." Yu Chigong picked up the mud-stained steamed bun, muttering and complaining in his mouth, hesitating whether to eat it or not.
The potter snatched the bun, tore a large piece and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and ordered excitedly: "Less nonsense, hurry up and give an order to the whole army, sleep with A tonight, listen to the order at any time, and ask all battalions to load all military supplies in advance, and be sure to transport them away at any time. ”
"Phew!"
Wei Chigong quickly spit out the mud bun in his mouth, and was about to complain when he heard this series of orders from the potter, and immediately became excited, and shouted: "Your Majesty, are we going to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army?" Great, I can't wait. ”
"The time for the decisive battle hasn't come yet, today is just a good show." A sinister sneer rose into the corner of the potter's mouth.
Fun?
Wei Chigong was stunned, with a blank look on his face, and the corners of his mouth were stained with mud.
"What are you still stupid about, don't go and give the order quickly." The potter slapped him in the back of the head.
Wei Chigong was woken up, and he rushed away in a hurry to convey the order.
Soon, the 70,000 soldiers and generals of the battalions received orders from the Son of Heaven, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the battalions to put on armor and sleep with swords.
At the same time, tens of thousands of grain, grass, military supplies and other supplies were also loaded onto carriages, which could be pulled away immediately with a wave of a whip.
All the preparations were in place, and the potters were idle in the camp sipping small wines, waiting for news.
An hour passed......
Two hours passed......
Three hours passed......
Before I knew it, the time was approaching the early hours of the morning, and a strong wind suddenly rose, the wind came from the north, and the big flag blowing outside was rattling.
"Liu Banxian, your ability to observe the heavens is really a must." The potter smiled at Liu Ji and said approvingly.
Liu Ji also smiled, and the feather fan pointed to the north, "Then Sun Ce should have waited for this wind for a long time...... It's been a long time, and it's definitely been done...... It's time for Your Majesty to send Dai Zong. ”
The potter nodded, and immediately ordered Dai Zong to be brought in.
"Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty command?" Dai Zong, who hurriedly entered, surrendered his hand and asked for his life.
The potter waved his hand and said happily: "Dai Zong, I guess that Sun Ce's gang will definitely come to rob my camp tonight, you go to reconnoiter quickly, and once the enemy army approaches my camp, return quickly." ”
"No!" Dai Zong received the order, kicked his leg again, and shot out of the tent like a cannonball.
Dai Zong left, and the potter continued to drink wine.
The generals on the left and right were a little confused at this time, looking at each other, and they couldn't guess the thoughts of the Son of Heaven for a while.
Hong Xuanjiao asked, "Your Majesty, how do you know that Sun Ce will definitely come to rob the camp tonight." ”
The potter smiled, his eyes revealing a bit of mystery, "Now is not the time to reveal the answer, I will sell it first, and soon you will understand." ”
The Son of Heaven "made a fool of himself", and Hong Xuanjiao didn't want to ask more, so he had to be like all the generals, all of them were suspicious, and they could only wait patiently.
Time passed minute by minute, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the east had revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.
Just when the generals were impatient, Dai Zong shot in from the outside like a gust of wind and stood in the imperial tent.
"Your Majesty, 70,000 Japanese troops have poured out of the nest and are rushing towards my camp, and they are already three miles away." Dai Zong gasped and reported.
The potter's eyebrows froze, and the corners of his mouth raised an unexpected sneer.
Sun Ce, sure enough, it's here!
"Your Majesty is really like a god, Sun Ce, this dog bastard, has really come to rob the camp!" Wei Chigong slammed the wine glass on the table, jumped up excitedly, and shouted: "They came just in time, since we have already prepared, we are just waiting for work, and kill them!" ”
Wei Chigong's shouting suddenly ignited the fighting spirit of the generals, and the big tent fell into a crazy excitement.
Yang Zaixing also jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Sun Ce sent himself to the door to find death, so that we can kill happily, I will unscrew Sun Ce's head with my own hands and dedicate it to Your Majesty." ”
Hong Xuanjiao's cold face also showed excitement and respect, stood up, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is really like a god, Xuanjiao admires it to the fullest, and Xuanjiao is willing to fight to the death for Your Majesty." ”
Looking at the excited generals, the potter proudly knew that he had a few "snaps" and stood up violently.
In the big tent, the generals immediately quieted down, looking forward to the excited eyes, looking at their Son of Heaven in unison, obviously thinking that the Son of Heaven would give the order to fight, and he would be killed tonight.
"Spread my will, and the whole army immediately withdrew from the camp and retreated to the south a mile away to stand by." The potter waved his hand and gave a diametrically opposed order.
Everyone was shocked.
The generals in the tent were all enthusiastic and ready for a big battle, but no one expected that the Son of Heaven would give an order to abandon the camp and retreat.
After a moment of silence and consternation, the tent immediately fell into an uproar, and the eyes of the generals immediately changed from excitement to surprise.
"Your Majesty, at such a critical time, you won't be joking with us, how can you abandon the camp and retreat?" Wei Chigong was the first to shout and ask.
The potter waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "I know that you will have doubts, and I have also said that you will soon understand my intentions, so now you just need to carry it out, and there is no need to ask." ”
When the generals saw that he had made up his mind, although they had thousands of doubts in their hearts, they dared not to do so, so they had to leave in a hurry with doubts in their hearts, and returned to their respective camps.
The order to retreat soon spread throughout the battalion, and the 70,000 soldiers who slept in their clothes could only be puzzled, and at the urging of the generals at all levels, they hurriedly withdrew from the battalion.
At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of grains and grass, as well as countless military supplies, were also transported out of the camp by truckloads.
Since the potters had already issued an order three hours in advance, the Wei army had already prepared, and the retreat was not in a hurry, and the men and horses and materials quickly withdrew from the camp in an orderly manner, leaving only an empty camp full of straw men with flags planted all over the line.
Half an hour later, the 70,000-strong army had successfully withdrawn to a mile south of the camp and lined up on the spot.
The potter was immediately swordsman, with the mentality of watching a good show, looking at the brightly lit but empty empty camp from afar.
A quarter of an hour later, north of the empty camp.
Under the cover of night, Sun Ce led 70,000 Japanese troops, like ghost soldiers, approaching the Wei army camp mightily but quietly.
More than 500 steps away from the camp, Sun Ce restrained his war horse, and with an order, the 70,000-strong army stopped advancing.
Sun Ce took a few steps forward and raised his eyes to look at the Wei camp, but saw that the Wei camp was brightly lit, and the battle flags were flying under the blowing of the north, hunting and flying, and the figures along the front line of the camp were densely packed, as if the Wei army had noticed it and was on guard.
"This pottery thief is very vigilant, and he even sensed that I was coming to attack his camp at night tonight." Sun Ce sighed with admiration.
At this time, Guan Yu, who was accompanying him, also stepped forward, and immediately stood side by side with Sun Ce, and snorted coldly with disdain: "Even if the pottery thief is on guard, tonight is on our side, no matter how hard he struggles, he can't fight against the sky." ”
Sun Ce nodded, the murderous intent in his eyes burst into flames, and he raised his big gun and shouted: "The whole army is advancing and approaching the enemy camp." ”
The order was passed down, and the 70,000 Wei troops marched forward in formation, approaching the Wei camp with the mighty wind, and in the blink of an eye, they had advanced to two hundred paces away.
"Crossbowman, take position!" Sun Ce waved his silver spear and shouted again.
The drums sounded, and Oda Nobunaga quickly urged seven thousand crossbowmen to pass through the formation, and Lin lined up in front of the formation.
Under normal circumstances, the distance of two hundred paces is already beyond the effective range of the crossbowmen, and this distance should not be able to shoot anyone from the Wei army and the Japanese army.
But tonight, the north wind was surprisingly strong, and the Japanese army had a tailwind trend, and the effective range became larger, while the Wei army was at the downwind, and the range was shortened.
At this distance, it happened that the Japanese army could shoot the Wei army, but the Wei army could not help the Japanese army.
"The stove is lit!" Oda Nobunaga gave an order.
The order was laid, and the infantry in the rear quickly brought hundreds of stoves forward and lit them all.
For a while, fires broke out in front of the Japanese array, illuminating the hideous and excited faces.
Oda Nobunaga shouted again: "Crossbowman, light the fire." ”
After the order was given, more than 7,000 crossbowmen immediately leaned down and stretched out the arrows wrapped in linen cloth and soaked in fire oil into the furnace.
In the blink of an eye, 7,000 sharp arrows were all ignited, flickering and burning, like the eyes of countless pairs of deaths in the darkness, aiming at the Wei army camp.
Rocket!
The crossbowmen of the Japanese army are all equipped with rockets!
The arrow had been ignited, and everyone's eyes were on Sun Ce and at their divine and great Emperor Majesty.
"Potter, no matter how treacherous you are, there are still times when you make mistakes, you probably never dreamed that you would put the camp in the downwind and make a fatal mistake, hehe......"
After a sarcastic sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, Sun Ce's eyes froze, and he shouted murderously: "Release the arrows, and burn the Wei camp into a sea of fire for me!" ”
