Chapter 445: Victory in the middle of the night
"Okay, chase!" When Bai Jingyu heard this, he hurriedly needed to lead the army to catch up, and this chase crossed the plain and came to the mountains.
"General, something seems to be wrong ahead!" One of the generals who followed Bai Jingyu to pursue the enemy with a hesitant face, he hadn't seen any trace of the enemy after chasing for so long, it was obvious that there was a problem.
Just when Bai Jingyu wanted to speak, the direction they came from, that is, behind them, suddenly sounded the sound of war drums, and there was a thunderous shout: "Kill!" ”
General Bai Jingyu's face turned pale, and he immediately reacted that this was a trap!
Just by listening to the sounds, you can tell that there are quite a few enemy troops coming.
At the same time, a soldier ran over with a panicked face: "General, there are at least fifty thousand enemy troops rushing towards us behind us!" ”
Fifty thousand!
As soon as Bai Jingyu heard this number, his face became even more ugly, from the number of five thousand to fifty thousand, it was obvious that the other party had made a long preparation, and he actually plunged into this pit with the army like this.
The general panicked: "What can I do?" "The voices of the enemy are getting closer.
Bai Jingyu didn't look at him, but looked up at his surroundings.
There are many mountain peaks on all sides, but the steep slope alone tells everyone that it is not so easy to go up, and the enemy is approaching from the rear.
Finally, he waved his hand: "The whole army continues to move forward!" ”
The whole army suddenly moved, marched at full speed, and after running for a while, a high mountain appeared in front of everyone, and Bai Jingyu decisively led the army up the mountain.
The army had just gone up, and the dense enemy army had just arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
"Throw all the stones down the mountain, and don't let a single enemy come up!" Bai Jingyu loudly commanded the soldiers to meet the enemy.
There were not many trees in the mountains, but there were surprisingly many stones, and the soldiers threw them down one by one, successfully blocking the enemy's progress.
After a while, a soldier ran over and reported: "Report to the general, the enemy has retreated to the bottom of the mountain and has also stopped attacking. ”
"Good!" The generals couldn't help but cheer when they heard the news, but Bai Jingyu smiled bitterly when he heard the news: "It's too early to be happy, they just suspended the attack, we are on the mountain, the enemy is blocking at the bottom of the mountain, our situation is very bad." ”
When the general heard this, he immediately reacted to the ......fact that he was happy too early.
Bai Jingyu asked the soldiers to rest in place for a while, and then took a few generals to inspect the situation and survey the terrain.
It's okay not to look at it, but the faces of a group of people are even more embarrassed at a glance, and there are cliffs behind the mountain, and there are dead ends on the left and right sides, which means that if they want to go down the mountain, they must fight the enemy.
"But there are more than 50,000 people on the other side, how can we fight here?" When the generals learned of their situation, their faces were full of sorrow.
30,000 against 50,000, even if you win more with less, your own army will definitely lose more than half, and if this remnant army encounters the enemy army rushing in again, it will be over.
"Don't panic, everyone, we can't go down, but they can't come up either, this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we hold here and wait for reinforcements to arrive!" Bai Jingyu said.
From his current position, he could faintly see the enemy troops under the mountain.
From the pursuit to the present, it is obvious that the enemy army has planned it, and the five thousand enemy soldiers are just to attract their attention, and the real main force is still the fifty thousand army.
"Let's set up camp in the mountains." Bai Jingyu looked at the time and made a decision, he had no choice but to follow the enemy army here first.
It didn't take long for another soldier to come and report that the enemy's cooking smoke had risen, and Bai Jingyu relaxed a little.
Until the night, the enemy army did not move, and after Bai Jingyu and the generals discussed in the barracks for a while, they went to rest.
Today I chased the enemy for a whole day, and everyone was very tired.
In the middle of the night, Bai Jingyu was awakened by the alarm, and as soon as he came out of the camp, a soldier came to report: "The enemy is attacking!" ”
The third watch starts in the middle of the night?
The thief looked at the dark mountains, and now there was a fire, and it was the torches raised by both sides, but fortunately there were no trees on this mountain, otherwise the enemy would have been able to trap them with a single fire.
"What's going on now?"
"The enemy forces cannot attack at the moment, and there is no damage on our side."
Bai Jingyu snorted, and then followed the soldiers to the place where the battle began, only to see that below them, a group of enemy soldiers with torches and shot a few arrows from time to time.
The enemy with torches was so conspicuous that it was almost indistinguishable from a live target, and it was not long before the enemy retreated.
"Hmph, you dare to sneak attack in the middle of the night, and don't give them a little color to see that you don't know how powerful we are." One of the soldier captains who followed Bai Jingyu snorted.
When Bai Jingyu heard it, he smiled, but the next second, his mood became heavy.
These three watchmen couldn't see their fingers in the middle of the night, no matter from which angle, it was not suitable for a battle, and the enemy army even chose this time to start fighting, and carried torches, it was obvious that the enemy army was not going to sneak attack.
"What about our casualties?" Bai Jingyu turned his head and asked the soldiers in charge of the number management in the army.
The soldiers quickly counted back: "There were no casualties. ”
"What about the enemy?"
"It's the same thing, and the number of enemy sneak attacks this time is not very large, only a few thousand."
Bai Jingyu felt a pimple in his heart, turned his head to look at the situation of the soldiers on his side, and sure enough, as he thought, the soldiers were tired on their faces, and even some of their uniforms were a little messy.
It was clear that the soldiers, like him, had been suddenly woken up by the alarm.
"These deadlines are too bullying!" Some generals also guessed the purpose of the enemy army, and they were very angry.
It was obvious that the enemy could not attack, so he planned to harass them at night so that they could not rest properly.
"Let's not talk so much about arranging some soldiers to rest." Bai Jingyu looked down from the mountain, and could vaguely see the position of the enemy's torches, "Call all the generals in the army to me!" ”
After saying this, he walked into the tent, and it didn't take long for the rest of the generals to come to the tent one by one.
Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered, and some of the generals reported the situation on the sidelines, while others made their own suggestions.
Until the words of a general made everyone's mood heavy.
"General, my subordinates have calculated, if the reinforcements have not arrived, even if the enemy can't hit us, we will starve to death on this mountain, and the grain and grass in the army will not last for two days."
